North Carolina A&T at Wake Forest | 2024 College Football Week 1

back there to return the very dangerous kick returner catches it at the two to the 20 Powers his way to the 23 yd line and quarterback their only win against norfol state it was a trying season last year for the agies but right now positive yardage on the first Carry that's Kenji Christian the former transfer from Virginia Tech it's also harder to get guys and I think we'll talk a lot about that tonight turn drops back that one into the Bread Basket at the 35 yd line to Morin gain of 20 and that's what they're looking for you will see the ball for a few consecutive series to start this game K pulls it out of the B of the Clayborne puts it in the hands of his receiver Moren it's the C and Moren show David Laney puts him down go with a gain of 17 slow mesh watch how it gets everybody up there see and then he pulls it out over the top you can see didn't know where the ball was claybo knows where the ball is he knows where the goal line is touchdown wait for it you got to make tackles in the Red Zone but Clayborn has a propensity to make you miss the tackles and get to the house first in 2024 how about Kar giving a little shove and then Clayborn doing the rest Clayborn in that hole Mt David Alexander in motion Kirk looking his way finds his re receiver on the near side that is Duce Alexander picks up the first down this pickup was really nice by Clayborn watch number one in the middle boom and that allows second down and nine white rolling finds his man that's a first down and we mentioned some of the talent Jakari Caldwell fits the mold the red shirt Junior look like a power player yeah in Northwestern High School which has a four receivers set graves in the back field white over the middle finds his man and catching it to the ground is Jameson Warren for a big first down for the yies they really like in those third down situations KJ white Kevin White and off to Graves Graves with some Running Room gets the first down closing in on the 20 yd line Nick Anderson and Graves when he gets those legs going you know look at that right hits the hole hard and he's going downhill 11th play of the drive kji Christian now in the back field gets the hand off oh and a lose a tackler he's inside the 10 he's in the end zone touchdown [Applause] agies next down Run for the agies watch this block there but the hole you got to make that tackle and if you don't that guy's running and you can see the block down the field which allows nobody could Bend and move like Bruce Smith at Buffalo Bills how a grave sneaking through the pile that'll bring up a third and very manageable Bryce gayus with the stop gain of six Bryce job of getting through the hole look at this offensive line they're just doing a nice job of coming off in that zone and then he finds a little seam graves in again white on third down white he could take that first down himself instead throws it the calwell who's got those sure hands and picks up the first down getting those strong hands taking down those 50/50 balls he played hurt last year his his or something in his hand but you see right there Matt four receivers in the pattern white the middle and that is Hol in for the first down what a tough catch by lacoin Vini who's really come out of nowhere according to his coaches plays they're being contested balls and really nice throw by Kevin White to get the ball in there Evan slopen says hey I'm here I'm getting ready to make the tackle and break this up but beanie says no at that tight end spot Christian takes the hand off gets by a tackler through another one flipped down to the 22 yd line Evans slum on the stop but another first down lineman in the back field for the Aggies well and you've got a guy that's able to stick the foot in the ground and go EV for the agies here white he his tight end that's Topson again Topson again there's a big guy who loves contact and showing why crosses the 30 yd line as Branson Coles missed that tackle was a guy that has transferred in but doson does a nice job of catching the ball and running through the tackle I think establish that for anybody that's playing the quarterback position leborn again Laybourn to the near side finds some Running Room and Crosses Midfield he's got one man to beat he's at the 30 tries to cut back inside the 20 yd line great block by Harry Lodge to help spring up for a gate of 48 you need to do run the football Harry Lodge is going to show you why 89 watch this block out there in front and you also have Taylor Moren in the blocking they got a few to get there we'll see what they decide to do here bmar green off to The Far Side picking up some yards turning some yards and he's free Donan green touchdown Wake Forest welcome back Mr Green [Music] and man did he take it to the house good blocking here again you got offensive lineman out there you've also got a tight end but Donovan Green says okay I only go about a yard so they with that slow mess they're able to be patient down and one Clayborn sto did not get there going to bring up a fourth down with a little more than a minute to go here Harrison fronti you combine 50 starts between them lot of experience on the edge third down bachar finds his man in the slot in the seam got some room to run that's Alexander again dece Alexander a man to remember after tonight a gain of 10 this one from 31 yds to give him a seven-point lead it is up and it is through about these teams that get an opportunity all those passing yards for Kevin White he's going to the air again and that one is caught should be a first down or close to it Jakari Caldwell the former transfer from South Carolina gain of 11 and he was with that UCLA he's got a lot of principles in this offense white pocket breaking down and white going down they will call it a sack he has got more he's consistent and look at the power and the ability to just run over people I mean he had Jonathan cannon on skates could have picked up a handful of yards if he' just run it so that's a that 10 yard swing at least Taylor Mor is set to receive this punt from Brown Moren has it at the 28 Moren got some room coming into the near side he's got some blockers just a kicker to beat to the 40 to the 30 to the 20 Moren spilling the end zone [Applause] touchdown teams game you kick it to that side of the field there was a guy that had fallen down early which created a lane and Taylor Moren who is a very good returner has a convoy of blockers in front of them they get a nice job with the wall former transfer from Virginia Tech is the back behind fomi Christian gets the ball gets some good blocking spins his way across the 40 and that should be a first down Anderson with the tackle there to coron Sharp 59 who they say looks like Suge Knight look at 59 in there and he getting in there that's not Death Row Records baby but fomi fomi is swallowed up Kevin pointer gets the sack along with the help of his Demon Deacons on that front line a loss of nine understanding that hey we don't have Kevin white back there but we're going to give you all kind of pressure inside stunt game get after it and they're just meeting at the quarterback hey D line where we going we going to number four right now right now the timing rules here for college football keeping the game moving Bach me keeping the ball moving gu who Taylor Moren Stutter Step at the 40 to the 30 he's got a blocker he's got some tacklers though he's inside the 25 yd line Taylor morren 50 yds his second big play tonight there something about how Bach Meer carries out the fake as well but Taylor Moren on this deep over he is money there when they hit him back next to BM BM rolling to his right's got some room throws in zone touchdown htio Fields there is a flag on the play here with Wake Forest but rolls outside good protection and then he's able to get out there look at him fire the football in what you do as a receiver you go right one yard or so and you stop right there second down and 15 for bachy bm's got his man that one's over the middle and he's got some room dece Alexander again with a big play chunk yardage plus 25 will make plays and show you who the quarterback should be dece Alexander says okay throw Trail 10 to7 it's been all wake since bachar looking down the near side has his man nice back shoulder throw it's not in green another big play for green missed all of last season he's got a touchdown tonight with a gain of 35 you couldn't ask for a better throw look at the protection there all the time in the they love using multiple tight ends done it for years here with Dave Claus BM to the endzone touchdown and there's that man dece Alexander the red shirt freshman lamber said he gave us all kind of problems and then Tate Carney with a nice block pickup on the inside of Joshua Isaiah that gave BM all that time to fire the ball in he said I missed you last time but I'm going to get you this [Music] time Caesar Romero now back in on the offensive line and helping lead the way for Kenji Christian down the near side make sure that this doesn't happen because he's blocking his counter play by them is just creating some gash plays offense here in this second half FBI FBI wrapped up right at the line and that's Branson cols his sixth year of college football first season with wake after a career in Southern Illinois what you're going to see here is his ability to flow watch right there get over to him and take him down round from 51 he's got the leg and it is good yeah here at David Mary offensive coordinator they was just picking his brain the other day walked through the hallways in North Carolina ENT just never too far from the program he helped build BM three on the play clock gives to Carney Carney plowing his way wait for the signal touchdown wait for it the game that wake force was expected to win by 32 is points so last couple of minutes somewhat interesting 4 5 to 13 line to go here off up the middle should be the last play of the night as Henry Daniel makes the stop again weight Forest didn't crack 500 yds last year in any game 515 tonight didn't crack 40 last year 45 tonight they were looking to turn the page from last year to this year this is a good start your first game of the year is always going to be a little tricky started out a little slow and let's let's give North Carolina ENT a lot of credit they didn't just let that happen either but I like how wake for is finished and I think Hank BM gave us a lot to think about as that quarterback option put this way
