TCU vs Stanford Football Game Highlights 8 30 2024

here as the season gets started for two teams TCU out of the Big 12 they got a lot of folks here in Palo Alto taking on the brand new member of the ACC the Stanford Cardinal in the first game of 2024 for both sides and the players everybody excited and ready to go day and the leadership is present in his locker room rice Ferell deep to receive and the kickoff is going to be into the end zone and returnable so phell is going to bring it out and that was not a great great decision cuz he got hit hard just outside the 10 yd line Stanford is not going to have great of coordinator this season third and 13 Daniels plenty of time in the pocket and he's going to throw over the top into double coverage and a penalty flag is thrown well that was just unnecessary that pass was not going to be completed and yet intended for Jackson Harris that's going to be a Stanford first down certainly is good chance that gets a targeting call on Richard Tony 23 15yd penalty automatic first down quick snap Daniels scrambling Daniels is going to run for it he'll get the first down and much more and then he took a hit way out of bounds we're going to get two more penalty Flags foul unnecessary roughness Defense number 13 15yd penalty automatic first down now in at tailback time to throw Daniels just never got rid of it a penalty flag thrown probably a hold against Stanford na n oafa Mena the transfer from Notre Dame I don't know Daniels is pointing towards TCU personal foul face oh my goodness TC that's three defense again on Third and 19 TCU almost jumped there they're bringing pressure Daniels gets away momentarily now he's going to scramble Ashton Daniels cuts it toward the middle and the ball comes out at the end of the play Stanford has it he had the first down yardage anyway with the long scramble and Stanford will keep possession I think that's CeCe who fell on the fumble what an incredible play by Ashton Daniels nothing open downfield Credit TCU and man coverage covering down on all the wide receivers Ashton Daniels showing as that athleticism getting outside the pocket and then give some credit to his wide receiver ishma CeCe for hustling down the field and being there to recover the fumble backfield Daniels a designed quarterback run straight ahead and well defended just a couple yards there Irvin with Daniels almost like an option style play but really the only option was for Daniels to keep it he leaned inside the five down to the four third and goal looking right throws End Zone touchdown Jackson Harris just found a little opening stayed right where he was and Daniels finds him for the first touchdown of the Year map of the ball you're going to see the outside linebacker [Applause] widen and create the opening right there Johnny Hodes linebacker 57 was just Frozen at 7 Minutes kind of a high snap but the kick is up and good well and if you're St true starter for this TCU program and the first play from scrimmage for the year is a little play fake and a dump down and a nice gain on the outside that's Savon Williams and you can already see you highlighted him at the start of our telecast he fall Camp he was the hardest working player on offense and it elevated the rest of his teammates I mean they think a monster year is coming for him he catches here middle of the field that's another TCU first down and put cook almost like a pistol formation he slips by one Stanford Defender and gets the first down that was a good individual effort by cook cuz that play could have been blown up 125lb wide receiver it's their first drive of the year he's already got four catches Hoover in the pocket scrambling Hoover going to try to run for it and he will got to that left side and he got the first down not by much it was close but he does a little more quickness throws here middle caught almost to the goal line just short Jack bash tried to get there and tcu's going to hurry to the line Trey Sanders is in the goal line back they'll give him the ball and Sanders went backwards well I do think sometimes Brock you get in such a rush to try to punch it in extra big Blocker in the back field hand off right side and again Stanford was there this time it was cam cook and we'll see where his forward progress was they will spot him all the way back outside the five he lost at the five spread it out a little more with cook in the back field and Hoover's going to throw toward Williams and he caught it touchdown I think Stanford wanted the push off you see Sinclair arguing there but no penalty flag and Savon Williams hungry for the football you throw it up to him down in the red zone and this is what you get I think it was a really good no call by the officials here both guys are hand fighting a little bit yes you're going to see Williams when officials allow the receivers and DBS to play 13 plays for TCU they not many gam of Spirit by quarterback Ashton Daniels once again TCU brings pressure Ashton Daniels finds a play Down field and they get into a quick snap situation on third down and Daniels throws it away I I don't know about that one McDonald with more pressure there so now it's fourth down in massive disappointment last year he feels like this year is going to be a whole lot better play fake and Josh Hoover rolling right throws and a nice completion for a first down that's JP Richardson the ball came out and Stanford grabbed it out out of the air the Cardinal have it on a turnover that is so uncare handoff straight ahead and a big hole Irving cuts it up field and he got enough for a stford first down how about that on Third and 11 now Ford and Irvin both are in the back field with Daniels it's first and goal Stanford it'll be Ford left side run Ford tripped up tried to get around that corner and just couldn't quite do it Jamal Johnson with the coaches on that TCU defense tighter formation Irving straight ahead and again well defended the horn frogs were right there Devin deal quarterback will hand it off again Irvin left side and TCU was ready so Stanford took him by surprise on Third and long not on Third and goal so that tells me one thing it's four down territory if you're going to hand the Stanford going forward on Fourth and goal under Center play fake looking to throw End Zone caught touchdown ishmail Cece and Lamson waited a long time for him to come all the way across the back of the end zone and he put it right on the money great throw by Justin Lamson known mostly as a running quarterback like we mentioned right physical downhill guy showing his accuracy there and there's CCE running the backline all the way across the field Lamson doing a great getting the turnover but on Fourth and goal they went for it and they got it done so the turnover there by cornerback Colin Wright on Savon Williams they're asking a lot of Colin Wright he's the guy to match up with Williams now this one complete to the right side and a nice turn up field for a TCU first down that's Jack bash a guy who started his career at LSU and was a good player converted tight end across the middle and that one is complete out to Midfield beautiful delivery to Richardson for the Colin right that assignment instead they'll hand it off cook changes Direction spins for a TCU first down well I'm 0 for one on the season just I want you to keep going for it third down and the throw across the middle a catch but an immediate hit by Triston Clair and TCU is several yards short maybe four yds short Hoover back to pass screen play cook with the catch and he will dive forward and get the first down that's pretty close I I I I called it early I thought they spotted him ahead but no yeah he was he was short Mitch Leber coming in number 32 with the diving effort [Music] and they may stop and take a look called first down s what a stop much better football than last year hey what did Tristan Sinclair say to stormmy before the game we feel like we're the most improved team of the country Ashton Daniels in the pocket throws and it hits the back of the linebacker and ricochets it's intercepted by Timon Mitchell I think it hit Johnny hoders right in the back it bounced up in the air and the 320 lb D lineman gets a pick 6'3 320 lb right place at the right [Applause] time what a weird carum huh a just did a great job of breaking on that football tell you what I know that TCU football team is happy to have him back yeah you said it he was big part of the team that made the POS possession just outside the Red Zone first down play fake across the middle there's Williams with another catch already his sixth of the game and now a penalty flag thrown a helmet got ripped off after the play on Sportsman L conduct Stanford number 23 his first of the game half the distance to the goal penalty first down he a second one so now Hoover in the shotgun first and goal horn Frogs play fake over the top incomplete trying to get it to Williams who at one second and goal under five minutes to go second quarter Stanford leading by a touchdown another play fake another throw to Williams and a good tackle by Colin Wright just a very short gain so now it's third and goal Dominique Johnson in the game maybe for the first time they fake it to him Hoover rolling right and he has to throw it away he had a chance to get it to his tight end Chase Curtis but under big time pressure took a lot of criticism last year for being overly aggressive forcing the ball at times no question and a lot of those plays happened down in the Red Zone there was nine Red Zone turnovers the fact that nothing was there when the pressure came and he threw it away when he knew he had three points in his back pocket that shows growth and maturity first career field goal try for Kyle Daniels backpedaling and throws and found his man wow that looked like a dangerous throw but IAM maner finally has his hands on the ball his first catch of the Season Navy they played SMU when Sunny Dykes was there he played such a great game when Sunny got the job at TCU he said hey you need to come play some football for me that was a good decision Daniels a quarterback draw out into the open first down and down close to the 20 yd line a designed play and tremendous job in recruiting bringing in some talented players now they've had some big conversions here a throw incomplete more good coverage there trying to get it to Jackson Harris and so it'll be fourth down that was lamaran James with the coverage that time good snap and hold and that kick is up and good so that's the first field goal in the career of EMT Kenny and Stanford's lead is back to seven beats the right tackle to the spot makes the tackle on the back field third and two across the middle complete to Williams first down TCU and more Savon Williams so tough to bring down some people wrong this year still two timeouts didn't use one there the clock rolled the whole time going deep across the middle and it's caught What A Catch by Jack Bash inside the five for 46 yards what a throw and catch green great coverage but there's no coverage for the perfect pass and the ball's loose a muffed exchange and Stanford comes up with it oh my goodness the Red Zone turnover Kay Patterson same issues that plagued the horn frogs a season ago come back to bite them tonight a turnover in the red zone nine a season to go just complete confusion between Josh Hoover and running back cam cook seemed like Josh felt like cam was supposed to take it cam felt like it was maybe a playaction fake thinking punch it in get the touchdown tie the game get the ball coming out of the locker room instead they go to the locker room still down seven what a huge play I'll tell you what if you're sunny dkes at this point you thought that these issues were fixed in the offseason you're scratching your head but flip side if you're Troy Taylor going into halftime with a 17 to Stan with the seven-point lead they've taken advantage of that sloppy play and the miscues by TCU so the kickoff horn frogs get the ball to start the second half and a kick return yeah that was kind of a strange ending to that play I don't know if the ball started to come out or what for major ever interesting spot to bring him in for his first snap he hands the ball off and I don't know that was close I think I think TCU did get the first down and that spot definitely indicates a first down here play clock winding down took a little while to get him out there they get the play snapped across the middle and a perfect throw for a first down to JP Richardson now there is here on Third and two just short of Midfield swing pass out to the left side the cut up field and a nice Cut and another broken tackle JP Richardson Big Time play JP Richardson three receiver for formation on First and 10 into Stanford territory hand off and a good run the ball comes out and it bounces straight to the TCU receiver bash who then runs it for it inside the 25 on third down on this drive they get the play snapped Hoover throws and it's dropped Williams had it and dropped it and what the junior out of Missouri City Texas has has done a fantastic job for Stanford tonight oh Kyle lemmerman made his first Collegiate kick attempt now is second from 42 yds and this one is on the way and that one's good so Kyle team and are still trailing they have two to one total yardage Advantage for TCU Daniels designed run kind of picking his way forward Ashton Daniels out into the open and across Midfield well I thought he was was going down much closer to the line of scrimmage third and 10 and Stanford's looking a little disorganized they get the play snapped Daniels throws and that one is caught at about the 40 now that's going to be well short I maner only his second catch of the game it's fourth down and what about four yeah don't be surprised if Troy Taylor Daniels looking right Daniels now moving right will stop throw over the top into coverage and it's tipped up and incomplete and tcu's defense comes up with the stop to get the ball back converting third Downs at 70% a clip right now cook leaves the backfield Hoover gets pressured and his pass is almost intercepted wow he threw it into traffic Stanford for the first Stanford offense is kind of stalled here more pressure Daniels flushed and he will go down ripped to the ground inside the five by Marcel Brooks who's the football get their confidence back I'm guessing we're going to see them go to Savon Williams sooner rather than later hand off up the middle though cook on first down and cook with a nice run for a TCU first down down to the 30 oh great job by that TCU off little pass fake and now a nice delivery inside the 10 caught by DJ Rogers it'll be first and goal get accounted for in that box score play fake over the middle wide openen bash with the catch and run inside the 10 and stretching for the goal line he almost got there what an effort by B Bailey finally got him to the ground but now it will be first and goal what a line hand off cook cook I think he was stopped short so the short yardage Run game for TCU has not been perfect now I don't know why the TCU players are saying touchdown Hoover under Center he's going to try to sneak it and Hoover to me definitely got across we haven't had a signal yet now we do touchdown team TCU and the first lead of the night for TCU on the quarterback keeper extra point coming here and that one is up and good 20- 17 tcu's got its first lead not just Resurgence now playing for TCU pressure Comes The Dump down the catch for the immediate open field Tackle by J Travis Bron who's having a great game a short gain for Stanford and they're going to have to putt the ball back Big Time football by the big fella so the first play of the fourth quarter now it's third and 21 Hoover is going to throw short and it's incomplete intended for the tight end Dabney Daniels had to throw off the back foot I maner adjusted and it's incomplete knocked away another play by Bron man as he made a ton of plays tonight [Music] Daniels rolling right Daniels going to try to run and he will not get there TCU stopped Stanford tying Mitchell and he had some help the Cardinal took a big chance there going forward on fourth down I I don't know why you make there look effortless so second and three for the horn frogs hand off cook and a decisive Straight Ahead move for another TCU first down inside the 30 down to the 25 great BL third down and six Man in Motion Hoover looking left swings it out in that direction and it's dropped JP Richardson got his hands on it and now Sunny dkes is sending the field some drops in that sequence this one from 39 yds for Kyle lemmerman kick is on the way and it's no good he hooked it to the left wasn't a great snap time to be waiting for another home win and for years Stanford was one of the best home teams in the country and they've been the worst over the last many seasons nice pass on the move there to start the drive Ashton Daniel Iron maner did in fact do that I don't blame him across the middle that pass is caught and how about that the First Catch of the year for Tiger BM who in his own right is a talented wide receiver he's been invisible tonight second and long they bring some pressure and Stanford actually picked it up pretty well but the throw was short left in a gain of just a few yards chra another play and here comes a penalty flag oh my goodness I wonder if there were some words said to the play on Sportsman like conduct number one defense his first of the game yard penalty automatic first down it was good Daniels for picking up some positive yards and making it third and manageable I mean there was nobody within 20 yards of yeah that would have been big time the tight end hard to see though third and short Daniels in the pocket over the top and it's caught What A Catch This Time by I Manor inside the 10 what your goto guy I Manor what a perfect throw and catch against Great coverage and now the power run all the way down to the one that looked like Cedric Irvin in the game second and goal Stanford trying to go back and ready to take the direct snap now they run Daniels in there he gets the snap and keeps it and he went nowhere I mean I know Stanford's not built yet to be a Power Team like they were justtin Lamson in the guy who threw a touchdown earlier in the game he's their sort of run quarterback specialist on Third and goal from inside the one Lamson keeps it Lamson lunges [Applause] [Music] [Applause] touchdown kick is up and the kick is good well this was awake and hanging out with us there's some fireworks Happening Here in the fourth quarter Ashton Dan to El I man are down the sideline it was the big play the Stanford Cardinal needed to get some momentum and then Justin Lamson the powerful quarterback play fake again across the middle and another completion this time Richardson into Stanford territory still going inside the 30 what an effort by JP richer you Josh Hoover second and seven rolling right and throwing right and another great catch by Richardson he gets close and might have showing off his ball skills and now on Third and short TCU goes quick Tempo gets the ball hand it off to cook and they get the first down down to the 15 under 10 seconds on the play clock Hoover hand off cook running right cook cuts it to the five and he'll get the first [Applause] down first and goal Hoover looking over the top pass caught touchdown Jack bash having a huge game and the horn frogs go right back ahead the touch that drive love the command Josh Hoover had at the quarterback position this was just too easy one-on-one on the outside a little corner route from the slot Jack bash he's kind of a breakout guy the night for TCU we thought he'd be good but he's been outstanding extra point is up in good position game you still have a chance to get the ball back he'll take the snap on Third and 10 here comes a pressure and he is going to go down and get sacked the TCU front just overwhelmed Stanford Devin deal fourth and 16 Daniel steps up and throws and it's tipped up incomplete I am maner got a hand on it but the TCU defense comes up with the stop now 24 to go remember you have for Stanford still couple of runners in the back field Hoover is going to throw well now that I just I don't get that at all that's a head scratcher Flyn you're in if they can find a way to get the ball back hand off this time left side cook cuts it middle and he dives into the end zone touchdown what a run and they do get it in the end zone what an unbelievable play by cam cook sunny Dyk said to us listen we have a rebuilt offens lineman three new starters all portal guys and we want impressive drive by TC and I really think there was a deliberate attempt to run the ball more in this second half there certainly was and cam cook showed why I mean you see the patience on the replay there was nothing there early like you touched on but he stays patient as soon as a hole opens up you can see the burst and the dynamic playmaking ability he [Applause] has across the middle Iron Man are wide open and he's going to get to Midfield into TCU territory well I mean for Stanford the the only hope is to go as fast as you can and if you don't get it here you really could I think you kick the field goal on fourth down without a question so third and four a play fake Daniels over the top toward the end zone incomplete so now what from 45 yds out his first game as the full-time Place kicker snap hole kick on the way and that one is good so he made it 36 seconds on the clock Stanford down just seven it's a travel 10 yds before Stanford can touch it they'll pop it in the air no it's grabbed by TCU and that will end the game Chase Curtis the big tight end time players I think so and and specifically Savon Williams who's who's been with TCU now for a while he's a senior but he showed tonight that he can take over a game from the wide receiver position and when you have a guy like that and you have a defensive unit that plays with their hair on fire ears pinned back you know if you clean up the turnovers and penalties TCU could be very dangerous so the horn frogs will watch the final seconds tick off the clock and TCU will celebrate a season opening win Troy Taylor and sunny dkes they've known each other for a long time a spirited game here to start the year for these two teams but in the end TCU just too much in the second half 3427 final score yeah Valiant effort by Stanford tonight Troy Taylor in year 2 very impressive battle but TCU coming out on top Josh Hoover was phenomenal
