Return of the hometown hero Jonathan Bennett this guy [Music] and now the third member of our team Angley Clifford for the Citadel the theme this fall Camp was how to achieve and maintain a positive mindset Head Coach Maurice Drayton spoke about how important it was to take the time to develop their mind we really saw this come into play in last week's win over charson Southern he said when they turn the ball over in the fourth quarter there was a look of determination on his sideline he said our guys had faith that we are going to get the ball back and that's exactly what they did and we're able to get the win guys SLE is one and0 after defeating Charleston Southern South Carolina state 0 and one after dropping their opener at Florida A&M South Carolina will get the ball first very dangerous Turner Carter is back joined by Ken High then Barnes kick things off for Richard sophomore from Ohio taking over the season for long time picker KOB hner athletic kicker first team All Conference as linebacker running back an kicker High School coming down to the state from the Buckeye state just ready for action here at Johnson Stadium scho separated by just about 75 miles SLE in South Carolina state barnes's kick will result in a Touchback and South Carolina state will go on offense first yeah it'll be interesting to see what South Carolina starts off with you know in the third quarter of last week's game their offensive line really took over in the r game they some really good things they they have the ability to play in Sp Carolina team here's the keys of the game South Carolina state has to be disciplined they got to have their dog in last week they had penalties they offensive line they're returning three All Conference offens alignment and they got to get going early their quarterback started a little slow last week they got to get going early for the Citadel dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball they need to dominate right and then they also need to take of this [Music] opport and they give is enaj Carter goes around the end and a big pickup on first down V yeah no that's great job with the implement the the emotion on the play South Carolina do a lot of eye candid before the snap and a lot of tent Sidle is familiar with Enos Carter he's a transfer from ETSU soan experience and the give is to DeAndre doart it'll be short of the first down yeah really good job by the Citadel defensive line that was one of the keys of the game they have to dominate the line of scrimmage on the defensive side in order to match up with this big offensive line of South Carolina state it'll be a third down and one for South Carolina state they were three of 10 on third Downs last week at Florida A&M and picking up the first down I believe that's Josh Shaw it is the sophomore from Hanahan South Carolina yeah really good run by Josh sha really great job by the offensive line they they got a really good push on that 31 and those are the type of things that you want to do to make sure that you handle the offensive line of scrimmage and to show that this is going to be a very physical football game DeAndre dart back next to Eric Phoenix South Carolina state much like the Citadel rotate four backs Phoenix set to throw fires and completes Justin Smith Brown senior from Coco Florida yeah it seems like the citel defense was in the cover look that the guy was in the quarters number 31 was was the quarters Def and they were able to theow short pick up second and eight this is toart weaves his way up the middle and he'll pick up the first down for Carolina State really great by I mean South Carolina state are doing what they want to do right now against the Citadel defense they're playing in space they're moving their wide receivers out and and forcing all the Citadel defense to move outside and that creates Lane the once again it's toart he's hammered Thomas Wyatt with the stop for the Citadel Thomas why came down with the boom Thomas W said enough is enough with this run game let's come down with the boom really good tackle fundamental tackle had a team leading nine tackles last week at CSU after finishing second on the team with 61 a season ago Oney pickup second and nine for South Carolina state Speedy Carter at the bottom of your screen Phoenix looks his way and completes I love that call Dave to get the quarterback's confidence going a quick five yard out where no one is the quarterback is taught either you throw it to the receiver or throw it to the sideline bottom line you're going to throw to the sideline so either it's going to be a catch or it's going to be an incomplete pass so those are those are those quarter build especially early on Star to drive off and Phoenix completed just about 50 % last week at Florida A&M he was 12 of 25 and a lot of those came late in the game so it's really good to see him start off early third and four for South Carolina state Phoenix in trouble he escapes the pocket scrambles to his left and completes again this time it's the tight end kesan Tony yeah it's always good to have a good reliable tight end for any quarterback great job by Kean Tony improvising with with his quarterback following along with him and making sure he got the catch really great job by by quarterback penis send cadel sent the blitz on that play and penix was able to get get away KY Adams gets the call and he can't escape the grasp of Jan Roberts who had a monster game last week at CSU eight tackles three for a loss and a sack yeah coach Barry he loves to sub those running backs in keeping those running backs very fresh is is the name of the game so yeah so here we are with a big big second down two backs in the back field here Phoenix trying to set up the screen to KY Adams wellde by The Citadel yeah really great job by Jeremiah Holmes you know Citadel sent the blitz on that play and that's the perfect time to call a screenplay but unfortunately um Jeremiah Holmes for the good for the Citadel unfortunately for South Carolina state Jeremiah holes stayed home no pun intended there's a flag on the play our referee this afternoon is Jake grombach [Music] and a personal foul on the cadel 15 and a first down back yeah you know one of my keys for the game for South Carolina state was to remain discipline you don't expect to get those things from the Citadel personal fouls you can't help out the the South Carolina State offense at all because they already have a good drive going and certainly the Citadel can't help them get closer to the end zone so first and 10 and the handoff is to doart swarm of Bulldogs picks up about four yeah looks like it's outside Zone play to the left that was called with Citadel Bulldogs they were all on it on that play [Music] so second and six for Phoenix and Company it's been a good opening drive so far doart nothing there yeah kind of reminded me of that Friday night NFL football game everybody was slipping all over the field could he missed his foot and we have a little Miss on today but um citadel's defense is here big third down for citadel's defense got to step up to the challenge right here Dave South Carolina state has been able to convert on third down so far this drive a couple of times they bring in DeAndre ruen Carter Kaden high and Justin Smith Brown those are your receivers doart in the backfield Carter in motion Phoenix finds doart out of the back field and he's rocked what a hit from Thomas Wyatt Thomas Wyatt coming down with the boom man really good scheme for the Citadel football team pre snap we seen that they went in but Thomas Wyatt came down they got pressure on the quarterback and that set up Thomas Wyatt for the big boom so it'll be a field goal opportunity now for the Mak rookie of the week Kyle gagos Richard freshman from Fort Worth Texas 31 yard attempt he was two for two last week at Florida A&M hit from gagos is through so a good opening drive vad for South Carolina state they lead three nothing yeah really good drive for South Carolina state offense but you want to finish in the end zone at regardless though they got points on the board and they took a lot of time off the clock I mean we got s minutes and 49 seconds here in in the first quarter they they took a chunk of time off the clock leaving cale's offense on the sideline and they got points out of it you can win games that way South Carolina state put up 18 points last week in the loss at Florida A&M heartbreaking loss that they LED in the fourth quarter against a team that's nationally ranked on the road yeah I mean they was in a hostile environment at fam U nationally ranked FAMU South Carolina really stepped to the challenge and and and I know that they were just wait to get to this game to get that bad taste out of their mouth been up in the fourth quarter they played a really good game but they started off slow and it's good to see that they got points on the board here I'm sure their coaches are excited about getting three points of course want the touchdown but I'm sure their coaches are excited to at least get some points out of the drive no coach Barry said you know played really hard last week just have to find a way to close games put ourselves in position to win the game at the end just didn't find a way to win it he was really proud of their effort said one thing they have to do though this afternoon is bridge the gap between poal and performance there's a lot of potential he said we have to find a way to seal Victory when we smell it when it's right there in Arms Reach yeah I mean first game for Coach Barry first game for the new quarterbacks all the transfers I think they had about 40 transfers addition to their to their roster this year so it was the first game Jitters right um they started slow but really got it going ear um late late in the game but they couldn't just they couldn't just hold on to it and um this game I'm I'm sure they're looking to improve and I'm sure they're looking to mature sure as a football team and conversely coach drton really happy with last week's performance for the Citadel and they had some adverse conditions think about the first half last week lost headset capability from the box to the field after the first drive they have to call plays from the field blind on offense and defense in the first half no eyes in the sky and then after halftime they put their coaches in the visitor stand so they can at least get some communication that's always dangerous to be sitting next to fans when calling the plays hey can you run can you on the draw play can you can you pass the ball why are we running it up the middle I know my mom was right beside the coach they say why are you running in the middle mom there's a scheme that's going on in the middle which is why they do that so um I'm sure that they got a lot of slack from the fans but they found a way to win at the end of the day and suggestions will always be coming your way from the fans but it worked out they fought through that adversity picked up the win over a cross town rival set to receive the kick from gagos rilan no no to the 30 40 no crosses Midfield and the Citadel out great field position in plus territory man what an electric start to give the offense a great start on the 40 what where they at on the 40 yard line near the 40 45 yard line what a great start to start off for the Citadel first home game of the season to give their quarterback Jonathan Bennett a little confidence going to his first drive and first home game Bennett the grad student from nearby Somerville turning home to play for the Citadel 10 for 17 170 last week in his SLE Bulldogs debut and a whistle flag flies false start and the sizzle will back up five it'll be first and 15 yeah already we send some uncharacteristic Mistakes by The Citadel with the unsportsman like ship penalty and and here we are all start on the first play of the offense possession the running back is Cory Ibrahim he'll get the carry maybe picks up a yard tackled by the safety Diego Addison yeah really good Pursuit by the by the South Carolina State Bulldogs their defensive line they have an amazing defensive line some guys that can really play ball um brought brought a lot of guys over from Benedict College with Coach Barry and um great great start by them second down second and 13 for the Citadel Diaz goes in motion on the ends of round this is Grace bips and he's sandwiched yeah one of the things about that play is I've seen seven white jerseys around the ball carrier that is telling me that the South Carolina State Bulldogs team is pursuing to the ball they are fundamentally sound to their keys and they they they had some type of clue to what was coming on that play Barry talked about defense having great eyes great communication third and long for the Citadel third and 13 Bennett On Target heet to Malachi Taylor a beautiful throw and a first down for the Citadel wow what a throw South Carolina state was in position they had two guys on there they had an underneath Defender they also had a a deep Defender but Jonathan Bennett was able to get that ball over the underneath Defender right before the Deep defender came down and get us a first down thre it over the head of the safety Brenan Scott terrific throw from Bennett and a first down for the Citadel at the 33 Grace Phillips in motion Ibrahim up the middle Powers his way to threey Cory Ibrahim the Richard sophomore from Raleigh North Carolina he was the leading rusher last week at CSU 16 carries for 68 yards didn't see any game action in 2022 or 2023 it's certainly making a difference here I mean four yards and that'll run that's really good if you continue to get floor you'll get the first down every [Music] time Cooper Wallace gets an opportunity and he is wrapped up Jaden Bron senior from nearby Monks Corner South Carolina making the stop for South Carolina state and he's a beast V dominated Florida A&M last week five tackles a sack fumble recovery he's the one to watch on the South Carolina defensive line yeah this guy is fun to watch he's a fun football player which is probably why he's wearing number one on the defensive line he is a really good player came from benedict with Coach Barry really exciting football player and he's certainly GNA be on the play this game third and six for the Citadel Bennett scrambles looks for the end zone for grace bips and it's over his head the Cal fans asking for a flag they're not going to get it yeah it was a little it was a little tusu on that play but not enough for the referees to throw the throw the flag here goes the replay yep South Carolina state was in there cover for but Jonathan Bennett is trying to make a play just give this guy a chance a little too long for him it's be a 47 yard attempt for Ben Barnes who was one for two last week at CSU made from 49 missed from 46 this one is up and it is good a 47 yd field goal from the red shirt sophomore Ben Barnes and we are tied at three 334 left to go in the first all tied up between the citel and South Carolina state

South Carolina state will go back on offense opening drives for both teams that resulted in three yeah they got three points I mean as a coach you want to get points on the board right especially start last game so here we are the first drive they both gotten points and let's see what South Carolina state can do put together on the second Drive South Carolina state picked up 24 yards rushing on that first drive yards through the air we'll start from the 25 empty backfield Phoenix off the hands of the receiver and almost picked off opportunity for we're Tau as quarterbacks we got to put a little TCH on those to the quarterback makes it very difficult when we throw bullet passes to him so we like to see minut to just take a little bit off of of that pass B second and 10 for SC State from the 25 empty backfield once again for South Carolina state as they take to the airat on this second drive five wide right here Phenix is the lone back he's set the protection Phoenix over the middle complete once again to his tight end ke Tony his second catch of the afternoon really good IQ by eric3 pointed out to the linebacker to the left because he noticed that they were blitzing to the left he was able to get the ball out before the guy got to him so really great job by Eric Phoenix right there and Tony's going to be an asset for Phoenix couple of Seasons playing in the socon at chatt nooga much like Carter who played at ETSU preseason First Team all M selection the tight end Kean Tony this is ky Adams and he'll pick up three Adams with 11 carries for 60 yards last week at Florida A&M made it excuse me added an eight- yard touchdown reception to give South Carolina state the lead in the third quarter dangerous player out of the [Music] backfield second and seven upcoming for South Carolina state they're set the protection so probably going to see a pass play here it is a pass play Phoenix plenty of time over the middle and it's dropped inos Carter started running before he had it yeah yeah you got to get the ball first those are the small details and the small plays that get you first down that you want to be able to convert to get you out of third and long situations it makes it so much better when coach Barry has third and one versus third and six and [Music] seven they'll have the Speedy receiver Kaden High looks like in the back field next to Phoenix now he'll go out wide empty backfield for South Carolina state see if the Sidle decides to bring pressure they Rush four and they get to Phoenix he is sacked that's Chris Benton the sophomore from hanne City Florida yeah Chris B big boy got on in on on the on the sack right there Citadel did a great job of disguising their coverage and I think they might have confused Eric Eric Phoenix right there but hey the offensive line they just whiffed and man really good really good play by The Citadel defense rushed four against five and won the battle yeah yeah that was a cover too right so that's a pass down defense that Citadel was running you expect your offensive line to be able to pick up those four Bron back to receive this punt evades one tackler but not two and the SLE will go back on offense when we return South Carolina state and the Citadel still tied at three this time out is presented by Carolina bus equipment and Aaron Thompson C class of 2010 hey did y'all get my text okay I just can't hear anything theith family they upgraded to the Ashley courtesy of Ashley homore and BT Barrett CIT class of 1977 to upgrade your ticket and gain access to the Ashley Home store dog visit Cal sports.com asley doghouse or call the ticket office to learn more congratulations to the Smith family e e replacing the iconic buddy Pew is never easy the winning his coach in South Carolina State history but coach Barry brings a winning pedigree as well going 27 and S vad the last three seasons as the head coach at Benedict College yeah if you have been around coach Barry he's a Walken motivational speaker I mean he really get these guys going and um I had an opportunity to spend time with him this fall camp with him and his team and he's he's he's a really great Mot motivator and it's it's fun to watch the South Carolina State team because of their head football coach another penalty on the Citadel they'll back up five yeah I'm sure coach Drayton is not happy about that you know you take those five yards from the first drive that that's the same exact thing that happened on the first play of the first drive here we are again sins that coach Drayton talks about often what he wants to avoid penalties self-inflicted negatives yes Ibrahim gets the carry it one or two second and 13 Ibrahim was very good in the spring and then transferred to the summer his coaching staff is very pleased with Cory Ibrahim who's emerg this season as the starting running back but they'll run four different backs we saw last week at [Music] CSU again it's Ibrahim he'll get back toim the 33 so it'll be third and 10 for the Citadel we apologize for the technical issues with the score bug we're tied at three here at Johnson Hood Stadium between the CIT and South Carolina state and the clock will tick down on the first quarter and so we'll take a break from Charleston as the first quarter runs at a time Sidle and South Carolina state remain TI at three all e e e e e getting ready for the start of the second quarter The Citadel faces a third and 10 situation we're tied at three between the Citadel and South Carolina state yeah they converted a big third down on the first drive with Jonathan Bennett was able to get it over the flat Defender let's see what they put together right here it looks like South Carolina state is in their cover for a look Bennett drops back sets up the screen unable to connect with Ibrahim and to reach for it and it'll be a punting situation for the Citadel yeah they had that play actually set up if Jonathan Bennett could have got the ball down he was trying to get it over the of Defender so he had to throw it a little higher than what he expected or wanted to um but they had it set up really great scheme by um the Cale offensive coordinator but they just couldn't execute it right there James Platt back to punt preseason all socon selection the only Bulldog on that list Enos Carter goes way back to feel that back to his own 11 yd line terrific punt from pla little flips the field yeah we we'll see what South Carolina state comes out with last Drive they didn't get any points to get anything going so this is a big drive for them right here how about doing the break uh the Citadel they were able to honor Coach Jeff South he he participated South Carolina state was a coach there but he was a first African-American coach coach at a D1 school at wiah State I seen coach ston he was really excited about honoring him and celebrating and pumping up to the crowd to celebrate him which is cool first and 10 from the 17 Dart in the backfield with Phoenix 101 here on the back side option Phoenix will keep the athletic Eric Phoenix has the first down and a lot more really great job by Eric Fenix right you you know Citadel historically they're auction football team but South Carolina state said Let Me Take A playbook play out of your playbook and he did a great job of reading his keys and he got the first down Phoenix a transfer from Murray state but the prior four years he was at benedict with Coach Barry two-time All Conference selection there pass for over 4,000 yard in his career at Benedict doart escapes on the left side one man to beat and doart is out of bounds he went out of bounds what a great run he also lost his shoe right there he was trying to stay in so much he lost his shoe but really great scheme that's what we're talking about with those big offensive linemen right where two come together the two pullers right there that you see man when you got those two big boys going man you set up your running backs for great success jeart another transfer from Benedict he was the tigers's top rusher the last two seasons for 600 yards and seven touchdowns a year ago first down at the Citadel 37 Carter goes in motion and Phoenix again on the keeper wow it's been an effective play so far for South Carolina state hey that will get the juices going on the sideline that'll get the offensive line going coach bar a former offensive lineman himself man that'll really get the offense going right there Eric Phoenix what a great job of Faking the pitch I I ran the triple option back in my day at Georgia Tech really great job by Eric Eric Fenix faking the pitch and going up for a long game I always prefer to keep it if you could right Matt yeah as long as you don't take too many hits first down at the 15 time rolling right he'll throw back left and completes the tight end Kean Tony but it'll be a loss maybe a loss of three on the play yeah we got a penalty on the play as well think it might have been a lineup issue too many men on the line of scrimmage wait for word from Jake romach number zero a South Carolina state back up five first and 15 from the 20 Phoenix throws over the middle nice grab made by Kaden High maybe just a gain of one yeah great catch by Kaden high if you if you're Phoenix you want to try to make that a little catchable ball make that ball a little better throw it at his eyes that way a guy like that when you get the ball in his hands he can really make something happen especially versus that cover two defense that Citadel just ran you mentioned making something happen High's an explosive number two receiver for South Carolina state 49 yards receiving last week at Florida A&M another Benedict [Music] transfer second down Phoenix will keep picks up about five seems as though coach Barry he caught on in something he really likes this option play this is the third time maybe even the fourth time on this drive that they've ran this play so far and so far it's been effective they've been able to pick up um at least five or six yards on these on these plays and Eric F has been the one that's been toen the rock an unexpected wrinkle that I don't think I saw much option in the game at Florida A&M yeah I did not see much of that in Florida A&M but seems like like with their speed they're just trying to get on the edge with their speed third and seven empty backfield Phoenix rolls left he's in trouble chased by Wyatt and Phoenix will step out of bounds it's G to be a loss on the play and it looks like South Carolina state will set up another field goal opportunity yeah that that that looked a bit funky there I thought thought it was a early start by the offense on that but there was no penalty there so 34 yard except for gyos made one from 30 in the first quarter three for three now on the season kick is up and it's no good cyos misses his first kick of the season and will go to break 10:3 left to

two up the middle yeah a form of triple option play right there with the 21 Personnel two backs one tight end um you had a detached tight end and they used that alignment to read the defensive end you got to respect Jonathan Bennett because he's not just in a TR tradition offense where he can just hand the ball off he has to read Keys like defensive ends in every play he has to read even on pass play he has to read so really respect him on that transfer from Liberty Five Seasons there the backup last year but he started seven games back in 20122 the Flames Brin no the kick returner seeing assignment wide receiver here in the second quarter yeah those are confidence boosters right there get your offense going get a quick pass play in and hey as offensive guys we're taught to make one miss and if you can make one miss you can go for long be third and five for the Citadel Cooper Wallace in the backfields next to Bennett lost one to Cooper Wallace terrific catch Wallace comes up with it he's fired up and a first down for the Citadel yeah that was a really great play call by The Citadel Jonathan Bennett again his accuracy is pinpoint he put it up for coopa Wallace to make a play Koopa Wallace an exceptional play to get the drive extended on a third down he's a receiving threat out of the back field at a 39 yard TD reception last season at South Carolina state now a big pick up on the ground for Wallace feat him again he's in the zone right now Cooper walles after amazing catch now a run for five yards Cooper Wallace a terrific athlete came to the Citadel as a quarterback they moved him to aback in that triple option offense last season he was their starting running back their feature back now splitting time with Cory Ibrahim and Johnny Crawford Garrison Johnson this season they can use Wallace in a number of ways he gets the call here fights forward he's close to the first down couple yards short hey you got to be doing something right when three straight plays your number is called going back to that that route that he caught that was a whe route him versus the linebacker Cooper Wallace versus the linebacker and as an offensive guy you want to believe that your running back has more Wheels than linebackers so you always come on on top so really great job really great offensive scheme and here's a better third down third and two is much manageable than third 10 Playbook wide open right now for the Citadel on Third and two up the middle that's close First Carry I believe for Garrison Johnson the short yardage back and he's going to be a little short looks like they're going for it Johnson three carries six yards and a touchdown last week at Charleston Southern fourth and one at the South Carolina State 47 yd [Music] line and it looks like Bennett draws a man off sides SED pointing to South Carolina State Side it looks like South Carolina state are convinced that it was the Citadel that moved [Music] first that's a veteran quarterback that taking advantage of the defense pick up the first down for the CIT oh absolutely and it goes back to the key of the game being discipline discipline for South Carolina state was one of the keys and that's what you got to be a you got to be able to hold your water right there on a on a fourth and one because you got a chance to flip the field to give your offense the ball back in good possession but Citadel now has the ball and ready to roll there's no safety deep right here let's see option and the pitch is to Grace Bops and he's wrapped up by Diego Addison yeah really good job by brayan Scott he did a great job of pursuing he almost got Jonathan Bennett and the running back at the same time great pursuit to the ball Addison with the tackle he had a big game at Florida a six tackles broke up two passes a fumble recovery another one of these impressive transfers from Benedict the D2 program it seems like they had a lot of D1 Talent on that roster hey man they're saying that we belong with the big boys and just because you go D2 recruiting happens things happens but man they played good ball too play action Bennett to the right side unable to connect with his receiver yeah that was a that was a far throw right there um but it was oneon-one and you're taught to win your one-on-one matchups Jonathan Bennett certainly has the arm to be able to throw the ball across field from one hash to the other just fell up a little bit short on that I'm sure he would want that one back that was intended for Andre Banks the grad student from Lincolnville South Carolina 's a transfer from Newberry [Music] Bennett pocket collapses and he's sacked that's Asad Hall with the sack for South Carolina state and the C will be forced to punt yeah that was a that's what I call a coverage sack right there Jonathan Bennett he had to take a few hitches he took about one two three hitches when anytime you see a quarterback take about three hops that's that's bad ball for the offensive line that's bad ball for everybody that just means he has to hold the ball a little too long and South Carolina was able to get the South Carolina state was able to get the the big set flat 52 yard punt his last opportunity now a fair catch will be called by enaj Carter and we'll go to break 441 left to go in the half The Citadel in South Carolina state remain tied at three e e e all well the S leads this series 4 to one however South Carolina State won last year's meeting that was in Orangeburg pretty lopsided result V 31-10 s looking for some Revenge this afternoon here in Charleston yeah South Carolina state last year's game they had some really big pass plays that really went deep and they were able to capitalize one they're backed up here though first down and a solid pickup for doart Dart second Team all conference last season for South Carolina excuse me for Benedict before transferring to South Carolina state he's trusted by this coaching staff High breaks it tackle and he picks up a first down flag is down on the play that was a late flag I don't know what we have here maybe holding holding on off second he certainly don't want to see you go backwards after a gain of six on the first play these are the little things the dis things that I'm sure coach Barry is going to be harping on over half time because just had a great completion you got the ball to Kaden High your one of your best Playmakers and now you're going backwards so second down here redo Phoenix back to pass looks left and completes that's enaj Carter and Carter will be close close to a first down Mark him maybe a little short V yeah yeah I think he's short Carter coming from East Tennessee State really great play call nope they said it's a first down he got enough first down they give Carter the first he had one reception for 14 yards last week but a big year in 2022 for ETSU is V just mentioned 30 receptions 434 yards and a touchdown rushing TD as he was two for 16 in the loss to the Citadel That season Phoenix over the middle throws behind Kaden high he was open Kaden high was was was open but here's the thing that the average viewer doesn't see Kaden High had the entire middle of the field open and he kept going towards the Defenders to the left if he would have just straightened up and I'm not saying that the cour the quarterback should have put it on him but I think I think Phoenix was thinking that he was going to take it down the middle which would have been a touchdown home run ball as a quarterback V how frustrating is that for you when you see the big play in front of you and oh it's extremely not on the same page it's extremely frustrating because you know everybody is saying man get it to the wide open guy but if you're not on the same page that makes it difficult for the quarterback to know where the receiver's going hand off up the middle to doart yeah let's see if if they have the fortitude to pick up this third down after missing a big pass play down the middle let's see if they have the mental fortitude to overcome that and pick up this third down it really be on Eric Eric Fenix right here see if his offensive line give him enough time to get the ball out it'll be a third and four approaching two minutes and 30 seconds remaining here in the second quarter tied at three between the Citadel and South Carolina State high goes in motion Phoenix completes to his tight end Tony he has enough for the first down and a flag down as well another late flag it's in the area of huging so we see here flag personal foul illegal hands in the face number 43 of the defense that 15yd penalty will be enforced from the other run first down tack on 15 and South Carolina state is now in cital territory at the 49 yeah that penalty really helped them keep things going yep 43 right there in the middle of the screen yeah hands to the face with the offensive line yeah sometimes those things happen when you're in the trenches you get your hands up and unfortunately you got caught on that one the linebacker Jes and Roberts Phoenix play action lost one down the right sideline wide open and a diving catch is made by Justin Smith Brown yeah if you look at that play we get a replay here that was a really great job by Eric Phoenix South Carolina state was outmatched they outmatched the citadel's defense they had three receivers to the citadels two guys over there and it's and that was that was an easy read for Eric Phoenix because he was running wide open they were in that cover two scheme and it seems like there was a disconnect a disconnect on the cadel's defense we have a Timeout on the field the two minute time out we're tied at three between the Citadel and South Carolina state e e first down for South Carolina state from the 12 yd line after the diving catch made by Justin Smith Brown two receptions for 39 yards this half for Smith Brown Phoenix on the option this time he'll pitch doart doart is wrapped up yeah they went back to that option play trying to get the ball on the edge they forced Eric Phoenix to actually pitch the ball this time must have drew that play up on the sideline and that's how you that's a great job of imp implementing the coaching on the sideline to the field Nicholas Mirabella on the stop for the Citadel second and nine and no one moved with the tight end so you got some type of zone defense right here tight end is open That's Tony pushes forward and he is inside the one first down there Kon Tony v he's been a weap in this half for South Carolina state yeah as a quarterback you always want a good tight end that can move pre snap you're able to see what the defense is doing based on the Motions that South Carolina state is doing and they didn't move anybody there so you knew that it was some type of Zone um play and I love the play call because they had their quarterback on the run so either he had the option to throw it or he could have run ran it in 55 seconds remaining in the half bringing the power back Josh Shaw he's next to Phoenix Shaw gets the call pushes his way forward short of the goal line now this is where you want to see South Carolina state to see if they grew a little bit from last week because last week they were in the same exact situation on the one yard line and it took them a few plays to get it I think it took third or fourth down to get into the end zone and one time they even got a penalty that put them back where they had to settle for the three which can make all the difference in a football game yes well South Carolina State calls time out with 37 seconds remaining another look at terf catch made by Justin Smith brown man the focus the eye discipline on that football Phenix put the ball up in Great Space to be able to let him go and get it and you want to let your fast receivers be able to go get it especially a senior from Coco Florida you know Florida guys are known to have the speed well he's their number one go-to guy preseason First Team all MC selection he was second team last last year after leading South Carolina state in receiving 427 yards and three TDS but he's deep threat V because he averaged 16.4 yards per catch it was deep threat on that point yeah it's good to see that that momentum continue to go for him new quarterback new offensive system new coach right where they brought a lot of their guys with them from Benedict College so it's good to see that he was retained and see that he's still making an impact on the offense of South Carolina State Bulldogs it's going to be a second and goal from inside the one plenty of time for South Carolina state 37 seconds remaining in the half how how big would this be for cadel's defense if they can step up up on the one yard line and stop this South Carolina State team from getting into the end zone maybe even sett in for a kick stop him all all in general that would be big for the Citadel going into halftime they're very good against the Run last week at Charleston Southern only allowed 93 yards we get to see right here which Bulldog power has the has has the better power right here which Bulldog come up come up strong on the one yard line this is like old school practice put the ball down on the one yard line see who has enough power who has enough discipline to either get the stop or get the ball in the end zone when once again it'll be the PowerBack Josh Shaw he's to the right of Eric Phoenix if I'm a wait room coach right now I I am all in on this play right now I want to see my big guys see what they can do in there now flag is down all start number 49 of the offense as I mentioned last week Dave they were in the same exact situation they went backwards and then they was forced to kick a field goal these are the little things that make you become good to go to great and I know that South Carolina State coach Barry he wants a great football team he has a good football team but he wants them to become great and they have to be able to be disciplined especially on the one yard line that's what he was talking about with potential and performance and potentials there a nice drive but backed up called it a Learning lesson last week doesn't believe in losing believes in learning second and goal from the six casy Adams he's stuffed Nicholas Mirabella once [Music] again the Freshman from Tampa Florida coming up big for the Citadel yeah that was a great job by the Citadel defense they went and pursu the football you see all of those blue jerseys around the football that's always a great sign for a defensive coordinator to know that his gu's ring to the ball they've tried to punch it in on the ground V and now they're going to have a third and goal situation from the 10 looks like Phoenix gonna have to do it with his left arm you got to put the ball in your quarterback's hand I believe that that you know that coach be called a timeout right here he wanted to think about it take some time I would have let the clock go out just a little bit more um just to sure that citadel's offense don't come and have enough time but it gives South Carolina State team a a time to rest but also time to pick out their best third and 10 play to get the ball in the end zone an important time of the game 28 seconds left to go in the first half coach Barry talked about the middle eight yes this week that he said we talked about winning the middle eight that's the last four minutes of the first half and the first four minutes of the second half did a good job with it at Florida A&M they got a field goal before the half and the defense stood up to start the second half when a andem got the ball first they'd love to punch it in with a touchdown here especially having the ball earlier in this drive at the one SLE wants them to settle for a field goal opportunity yeah so they now they're in a tight set formation and it shows statistically quarterback's pass percentage goes up when you're in a tight formation like this oh he got him Phoenix to high touchdown South Carolina state very similar pass play against fam Yu when high went out and he went he did a little fade route from the inside that gives the receiver and the quarterback room to get the ball in the end zone Great execution South Carolina state giving the ball to your best player and your fastest player at that Grayson Georgia native comes through for South Carolina state six on the board now gagos will exemp an extra point yeah they got the score right there in front of their band who's getting ready to take the halftime performance HBCU bands man you know is they're getting ready to put on the show that was so fun to watch absolutely I enjoyed watching the halftime performance the Florida A&M game transfer from Arkansas Kyle gagos left-handed quarterback a left footed kicker and the kick is [Music] blocked those are the little things that makes you go from good to Great Citadel blocked a kick last week to win the game they blocked the field goal last week to win the game and here they are again if they score a touchdown and make their field goal now they'll be up totally different ball game now so those little Points each point matters into a football game and here you know Morris Strait with his special teams backgrounds special teams coach in the NFL has to love block kick two weeks in a row now absolutely as special teams coordinator you're extremely excited and thankful about that and Coach Drayton he brought his friend um it's Tony co co he brought his friend Tony Kum with them on staff they finally got to work together they did a segment on that talking about their friendship and their bond and it's really cool I'm sure they're both excided and related about those results coach drton was a special teams coach most recently with the Raiders before that similar position with the coltson Packers 21 seconds remaining in the first half South Carolina state leads the Citadel 9-3 gyos sends one deep be a Touchback the cital vad trailing by six 21 seconds in the half how aggressive do you want to be ah there you know coach Drayton and and especially with their with their scheme they probably end up running the the clock out but we'll see they have a experienced quarterback here's here's that touchdown play slot fade by Kaden Hyde really a SM we call it a smash route or a corner route and man that was a really great throw by by Phoenix and great execution they want to see more of that in in the second half Dave Kaden High just 511 176 be so fast hands on display that touchdown catch so will be aggressive Bennett is picked off as his pass was deflected wow wow Jaden Bron was there again almost got the sack Jonathan Bennett was trying to hold on for dear life and get the ball out if he just had one second he had a guy going down the middle but the but the pressure by Jaden broen and who's that big man you love to see the big man on the interception number 38 Adonis Davis Jr man this is this is going back to coach Barry talking about winning the last four minutes of the second quarter and winning the first four minutes of the of the third quarter this is what it is and now the Char the South Carolina State offense have an opportunity to take a shot for a touchdown well there 12 seconds remaining in the half five wide for South Carolina state and now the Citadel call time on defense well ask that how aggressive should they be with 12 seconds remaining they went for it yeah didn't pan out yeah well I was totally wrong I thought they was just going to run the ball out you know coach marce drne he always talks about maybe getting three three yards here three yards there right but now you know it kind of backfired on him he has an experienced quarterback that certainly wasn't on Jonathan Bennett protection broke down and unfortunately thre an interception and in South Carolina's territory South Carolina State's territory nine to3 game here with 12 seconds remaining in the first half an opportunity for South Carolina state to be aggressive at least for a play yeah now is about how aggressive does coach Barry wants to want to be I mean if I'm coach Barry you might be able to take a shot right here because you didn't supposed to have this ball anyway your defense came up big and got the interception right here so we'll see if he put it in his quarterback's hands at least get it closer for Kyle gagos who's one for two so far this afternoon Phoenix looks left now in trouble and he goes down that's the last thing you want to do is take a sack in that that's the last thing you want to do is take a sack in that situation because now you make it harder for your field goal kicker to make the kick especially Citadel coming off a block field goal they lose four yards on the play so now the ball will be spotted at the 34 yd line with 4 seconds remaining quick math that tells me that's going to be about a 51 yard field goal attempt for gagos Dave that's why I leave the math up to you man that's that's that's incredible that's great but that is a long field go and we'll see if he has the the leg to do it doing my best will we talk to the radio team for South Carolina state before the game and they told us that gyos has a range up to 55 okay well I see the offense is still on the field so we'll see this will be the last play of the half if they decide to go with so not going to go for the 51 yard field goal they pass up that opportunity remember gyos just had an extra point blocks yeah very try to get him to draw off sides right here Phoenix over the middle that's Kaden high high with room to run he'll break to the outside and high is tackled by Will Pian gr student from nearby Mount Pleasant South Carolina who had five tackles last week making his Cal debut D3 transfer from Hampton Sydney and that's how the first half will end a close first half between these two teams that are 75 miles apart South Carolina state and the Cal vet 9 to3 as we get ready for half yeah this is what you expect from both teams right you expect a good hard-nosed defense which both teams have and South Carolina state they missed on some opportunities right there but cadale got to feel good about going in the half stopping them on that last play angley's on the sideline with Coach greaton Angley coach a back and forth battle so far as to be expected South Carolina state able to slip away late in that second quarter what's the message to your team going into this next the message the message to our team is don't do uncharacteristic things we had two false starts where we were starting first and 15 we had illegal hands to the face we got two blown coverages right now it's a bunch of sins happening s i ns self-inflicted negatives and until we eliminate that it'll be more the same thanks coach thank you well you heard it from coach drton they'll try to eliminate the sins in the second half halftime here in Charleston South Carolina state lead the Citadel 9 to3 200 aate proed ATC and later BEC assist ATC after his at Western Reserve University ladies and gentlemen a member of the Hall of Fame [Applause] J lance2 Lance stand inor the field I guess thir second part again ladies gentl [Music] 1992 wasent field in football he play as ay Ander intercep tri2 4 e de ch [Music] well it's halftime here in Charleston South Carolina state leads the Citadel 9-3 close battle between these two Bulldog squads V but that's what you expected yeah the battle of the Bulldogs right um great great first half I mean there are some uncharacteristic things here we take a look at the pose for the M preseason coaches POS North Carolina Central Howard Morgan State South Carolina state nor state of Delaware really great conf with some really great talent to be a bigger conference one of those teams have moved on some to the swack they played a swack opponent South Carolina state did last week in Florida A&M a top ranked team yeah you see teams moving all over in college football these days so it kind of looks different but you still got kind of got like powerhouses like Howard and things of that nature there well these are socon preseason coaches pole no surpris to see chatt nooga Ferman and Western Carolina at the top unfortunately for those schools they all have started the season 0 and one but really difficult matchups Chattanooga struggled with Tennessee Ferman of course at Old Miss and Western Carolina they gave NC State a struggle so watch out for the catamounts this season yeah I watched that game you know being a North Carolina guy myself and I was surprised to see Western Carolina really put up a great fight fight the socan conference is really coming in strong right here and the caddel been last but they got their one and0 start and here they're hoping to get to two and0 right here for non-conference play so it's already picked up a win over Charleston Southern of the Big South they look to prove the pulsers wrong this season and Rise From the Bottom of the standings we going to go back to break it's halftime here at Johnson ha Stadium South Carolina state leads the Citadel 93 e e e e e e and welcome back we're at the half here in Charleston South Carolina state leads the Citadel 9 to three let's take a look at some highlights from the first half that was a hard-hitting first half this is doart getting the carry for South Carolina state he was stuffed by Thomas Wyatt Wyatt was all over the place for the Citadel Bulldogs another monster hit from Thomas Wyatt yeah Thomas Wyatt has got this game going boom right there there we see man he really got the Citadel defense going s three points on the board courtesy of a Ben Barnes field goal sack party right there well despite the yardage Advantage for South Carolina state the C defense stood tall until it didn't a diving catch made by Justin Smith Brown on this drive yeah really got that really got that drive set up for the touchdown right here to Kaden High great throw and great even better finish yeah is Phoenix to high for six the extra point was blocked by Sidle special teams a turnover for the end of the first half the first turnover of the half for either side yeah that Jaden Bren he brought it he brought it on that one and aonis Davis Jr was able to come down with the interception right there so those are your highlights from the first half South Carolina state leads a SLE nine to3 let's enjoy the performance from the South Carolina State marching band [Music] char sir [Music] [Music] la [Music] [Music] [Music] you [Music] [Music] now [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] for [Music] 14 e [Music] [Music] [Music] just really unfortunate so hopefully they can come out in the second half and have more Rhythm better Rhythm um and be able to get the ball into Jonathan Bennett's hand and allow him to do something with the ball and how about South Carolina state in the second half South Carolina State they just have to finish drives they have um what do they have they have 126 yards passing they have 98 yards rushing now from this game if you're Citadel you would expect the the majority of the rushing yards to come from a citadel football team but South Carolina state has been able to win the point of attack and they just have to finish drives in the end zone well stat comparison might not be as tight but the score is South Carolina state leads the SLE nine to3 should be in store for a great second half from Charleston it's the CIT and South Carolina state Battle of the Bulldogs at Johnson ha good Stadium e e e e e halftime here at Johnson hey good Stadium South Carolina state with the lead 9-3 over the Citadel two schools separated by approximately 75 miles doing a really nice job of recruiting locally V 62 players in the roster from South Carolina for South Carolina State 54 on the roster from The Citadel yeah Dave this is not just any football game this is for bragen rights this is for bragen right some of these guys made have may have played with each other in high school some of these guys may even played against each other so this is this is huge and I see a lot of red in this Stadium as well and coach ston said we want to be City Champs they've already accomplished that knocking off CSU then they want to be state champs playing every scholarship FCS team in the state this year South Carolina state being one of them and ultimately of course socon Champs here are some of your Hometown Heroes for the all all names on that list playing a big part so far this season yeah led by their quarterback Jonathan Bennett would love to see Devon pesnell get some get some catches I haven't really seen him in this first half he came up big last week so you know definitely a lot of Hometown Heroes that's playing in this football game peasnell their leading receiver last week at CSU we go down to anley Clifford who has more well guys Citadel fans obviously super excited for this home opener if you look around me there's a lot of white In This Crowd and the reason for that white out is because they want to erase this last year's start and start fresh coach Drayton mentioned that even if you have a championship season it is so important to start fresh saying that nobody cares about your greatest they only care about your latest guys it is a white out here at Johnson ha good Stadium but you'll notice at the Citadel they're wearing blue the visiting team of course V has to agree to wear dark colors in this visiting team they did not so despite the white out the Citadel is featuring their infantry blue yeah typically the visitors teams they we white so um don't be too mad at them but you know it seems like coach Barry he just wanted to continue to go with their system there their system is to wear white um but certainly would have loved to seen Citadel and this Stadium be in all white that would have been cool well s Lead South Carolina state 9 to3 as we get ready for the second half coach stayon said it's going to be a tough task going up against South Carolina state you look at this team a lot of transfers on offense they pursue the ball on defense very fast on special teams with Enos Carter said the thing that they were concerned most about is their explosiveness they can score on any given play coach Barry of course doing a great job at dissecting defenses but he said the biggest key to doing well against South Carolina State ball security and ball extraction wanting to end each drive with a kick point after or a field goal or a punt punting never a bad thing because you can gain you know 40 50 yards of field position absolutely Dave and if you're coach Drayton you kind of gota even know you probably was disappointed in the way that your team played in the first half you got to feel optimistic about this second half on the score been a one possession game one touchdown can get you in it so you got to feel good two field goals can also get you in it as well talking about kicking so you know I expect the cadale football team to come out this second half a much polished and a much uh disciplined football team team in this second half remember they triled last week at Charleston Southern at the half came back in the second half seemed like they were the more conditioned team in that battle of Charleston he talked about conditioning as well he said we pride ourselves on being better conditioned than our opponent it's part of our process they want to play a Bor and grer football and keep Jing one step at a time and then you look up and the ball game's over and we have more points but I thought this s really wore down CSU late last week South Carolina state they wore down Florida A&M in the third quarter but that seems like the reverse they got wore out in the fourth quarter where the Citadel just continue to get stronger and pulled out the win at CSU yeah I mean here you go Citadel they've been in this position before where they had three points at halftime right and they came out and they they found a way to win they showed that they were an aggressive football team but they showed that they were a conditioned football team to be able to win that game last week was huge for the program it was huge for their confidence so going in coming out of halftime I'm sure they're confident that they can do it again because they've been in this position before so little bulldogs asked to do a little more than student athletes at other schools it's really important for everyone to understand they play this game certainly for fun they don't have those nil deals The Glitz and the glamour of other institutions most of their Cadets take 18 to 21 hours they're up early in the morning because of their military obligations it takes a different kind of mindset to play for the Citadel these guys certainly have it we'll see how conditioned they are for the second half yeah they they absolutely don't want you to get it mistaken they have athletes here that play ball too so they want to come out really this second half and show their athleticism and show that they can match up with the South Carolina State University football team Sid will get the ball first to start the second half and it bounces to brilin n and C BLD balls will try to get the offense going not a lot of total yards in the first half for the Citadel B not a lot of yards and all and this first drive of the of the second half I mean this this takes some type of Pride this takes a level of Pride with the Cel offense to say give me the ball we are ready we we we didn't do what we were supposed to do in the first half but here we are we're here now we're still in a game and we got a chance to go and take possession of this game and even take the lead here Cory Ibrahim Cooper Wallace in the backfield with Jonathan Bennett Bennett pitches to Wallace Wallace down the right sideline a nice pick up on first down yeah Wallace has been an X Factor this game you just got to get the ball into his hands anytime he got the ball into his hands it's been positive plays cadel that time they went back to their triple option scheme where Jonathan Bennett read the end man on the line of scrimmage and was able to outflank the defense to the sideline Wallace did a nice job last week at CSU 10 carries for 40 yards their leading rusher a season ago, 1467 yards in the Russian career of Cooper Wallace here at the Citadel give up the middle is to ibraim and he breaks loose Cory ibraim to the 30 25 down to the 22 yd line wow what an electric play Dave really it was the same play that they just ran on the on the last play they went back to it but because it's a triple option scheme you have three options either to give the ball the quarterback to get the ball or to pitch it and that time Jonathan Bennett gave it off and so far to the races not much there I got another opportunity that's the big play on the ground that s was looking for absolutely I mean in the first half they had only 25 rushing yards and here you got they got more than that on that one play and here they're in the Red Zone in the 20 got a chance to score and take over this game second and eight Bennett he's wrapped up by ashad Hall who had a sack in the first half yeah great job of staying home by ashad Hall he did a great job of trying to play both right when a defensive end when they get in between the pitch the mesh it's hard for a quarterback to pitch it so Jonathan Bennett just ate it and tried to fake him out picked up a yard maybe and um have a big third down for South Carolina State Defense and a big third down for Jonathan Bennett and S the offense here third and about seven expect the S STI to the air here I do I do they brought Jonathan Bennett here from Liberty for reason Grace bips in motion Bennett rolls to his right completes the grav Bops but he's gonna be short of the first down and now decision time for the citad it's Fourth and about three fourth and three seems like the offense is stand on the field I would like to see if Citadel is going to try to get them to jump off sides when South Carolina State University was in this position before they ended up jumping off sides giving the Citadel the first down so let's see if what they decide to do here dvon peasnell the bottom of your screen one-on-one he was the go-to guy last week at CSU yeah ate the penalty right there get ready for the field goal they tried to draw them off sides instead they'll back up field goal opportunity upcoming for Ben Barnes who made one from 47 yards in the first half now two for three on the season this one from 38 flag flies barnes's kick is good but we'll wait for word on the penalty so a lot of flags in the first half that pattern continues here in the second yeah be interest to see what this call is illegal substitution 12 or more players on the defense at the time of the snap that penalty has declined zto play is a successful field goal so the citel declines the penalty they take the three 113 33 left to go in the third South Carolina state leads the Citadel 96 you are capable of more than you it's not easy you make it together what you learn goes beyond the classroom by learning how to follow you discover the kind of leader you want to be it's about discipline detail hard work and serving others choose something different and you'll never be if I it's going to be a miracle baby uh Mr V it wouldn't be a miracle because Geico gives you a team of experts to help manage your it's going to be no the Geo team is there for you 247 Geo is awesome baby too much I think we got it yeah thanks Geo great service without all the drama home

firmly planted here and we're passionate about helping our communities grow we provide common Financial solution oh it's a three-point game here in Charleston return opportunity for Enos Carter now whistles not sure the read reason for their whistles that yeah I'm not not quite sure there maybe his hand went up for the fair catch be the only way that the officials will stop the return that must be the correct explanation Carter a dangerous returner senior from pipy New York so first down for South Carolina State ball at the 25 or maybe not they'll back up to the 18 yeah must have went up for the fair catch not sure ring on the fields a fair catch was given by a player that did not catch the it'll be first down yeah okay well Carina they got the ball on the 14 here certainly got their work cut out so the SLE after putting up three we'll see if the defense can make a stand the ball back to their offense doart up the middle he scampers forward pushes his way to the 22 yd line close to a first down really great job by the offensive line there led by Center Eric Brown Jr who was second Team all conference man that that middle of the field was wide open right there great job great run by them great execution coach Barry says when the o line plays well they give us a chance to win we'll take a break here at joh South Carolina state leads the Citadel by three where we feel comfortable at EAS our home like yours is here on the Carina Co we work here Weise our families we support our neighbors and embrace what makes us un our boots are firmly planted here and weate help our provide it's be a miracle baby Mr V it wouldn't be a miracle because gives you a team oferts to help manage your the Geico team is there for you 247 Geo is awesome baby too much I think we got it yeah thanks thank you Geo great service without all the drama you are of more than it's not easy you make it together what you learn goes beyond the classroom by learning how to follow you discover the kind of lead you want to be it's about discipline detail hard work and serving others choose something different and you'll never be second and one for South Carolina state leading by three it was Don P who walked off for the Citadel yeah good to see him walk off seems like he might have had an arm injury of some sort but he was able to stand on his feet which is great doart gets the carry plunges forward for a first down DeAndre doart who coach Barry says is the real deal was a great back at Benedict and he'll be a great back here at South Carolina state called him powerful a physical Runner who plays the game the way it's supposed to be played and he'll keep getting better vad because it means something to him and Coach Barry's really proud of Dart yeah I'm really impressed by all of these Benedict transfers because they came up level and they they're certainly answering the bell and they're able to still make those plays that they were making D2 level they able to make him on the division one level as well now it's the left of Phoenix First and 10 play action Phoenix deep downfield unable to connect with a diving Smith Brown we saw Smith Brown make an athletic reception in the first just pass his fingertips here in the second half yeah they had him they had him they had him he had him right there just could have put a little bit more air on the ball and oh man you know last last week versus FAMU they ran that same exact play the double post concept and they were able to hit a big one for a touchdown so seems like they was trying to take that Mantra from last week and get that excitement going again but couldn't connect this time second time in this game he's been open deep can see why he averaged over 16 yards per catch last season on the ground it's doart another big gain for South Carolina state yeah you got to see Trey Franklin big offensive lineman big number 58 66 330 from Columbia South Carolina he was leading away was able to get the doart down for a big game first and San at the 41 featuring doart on this drive it's time sto for a short game the thing about this drive Dave is that every play has been positive yards for South Carolina state offense and on the flip side for citadel's defense you might start to see a little hands on the hip a little bit more because they're probably getting tired out there gotta come up with a big stop Phoenix rolls right and connects with Justin Smith Brown yeah really good when you see a left-handed quarterback roll right and still being able to be efficient that's a great job by Phoenix great ball great location again it's to the sideline so he's is either my guy or the sideline so efficient pass play for the offensive coordinator coach Barry calling the plays a great great job first down move the sticks this is a quarterback that led Benedict to its first Conference Championship in school history in 2022 saw action in two games last year at Murray State now back with Coach Barry but at South Carolina state he'll pitch to enaj Carter yeah plann the edge game right there South Carolina state was the first ones that were able to get to the edge and in since they were able to pick up five yards a second and five need to get a little closer to being field goal range for gyos currently out of his range be interesting to see if they take a shot here Phoenix rolls left gets past Roberts tiptoes the sideline and he's out of bound has enough for the first down yeah I hate to keep bringing up last week but I watched that FAMU versus South Carolina State game and this drive looks very similar to the drive in the third quarter when South Carolina state offense especially the offensive line they took over and quarterback Eric Phoenix he was able to do some things with his feet and keep the chains moving I thought they won that third quarter in sahase yeah fourth quarter a different story to hard once again man great job by big number 71 Roger Smith offensive lineman junr 64 340 from Ohio the offensive line is taking control of this game right now similar to how they did last week let's see if they can keep it going and finish with some points CU Barry was very happy with the effort the Olan gave last week only surrendered one sack thought Phoenix had a pretty good pocket all day once again it's Smith Brown this time on the slant yeah Dave you got a little RPO action there the quarterback is reading the movement of the linebackers and if the linebacker since they've been doing a great job of running the ball up the middle when the linebacker pursue Downs the quarterback ER fenus is able to throw over top and throw with the RPO great call sets up a very long first and goal first and goal from the 10 a new back for South Carolina state KY Adams he replaces doart gotta watch him on the wheel route right here instead they go the other way looking for Kaden High the pass is incomplete I think that might have been the first play on this drive that hasn't been positive they they've had positive movement on every play of this drive and certainly you want to be able to do it down here in the Red Zone this is where they struggled at and they want to be able to come out with a touchdown because let's be honest three points isn't going to do it because you keep Citadel in the game right here KZ Adams Remains the back he's Shifty played well in the the second half at Florida A&M transfer from Georgia State the option with Phoenix Phoenix will keep it himself upended and down at the one yard line here we go bulldog versus Bulldog we're back here at the one yard line again if I'm a strength coach right now I'm jumping up and down if I'm SEL strength coach I'm jumping up and down if I'm South Carolina States coach I'm I'm jumping up and down because I'm putting my big man versus your big man let's see who can win this battle on a big third down and just like towards the end of the first half South Carolina State Bulldogs bringing their power back Josh Shaw now remember South Carolina state had a penalty that moved them back and they had to settle with the field goal sha trying to muscle his way inside he's in touchdown South Carolina state really great finish to that drive again an impressive drive that they started at their own 12 and was able to get into the touchdown man that's a dagger if I'm sale great great execution up front big number 78 Nick tasty he he's an all conference first team last year man great drive for the South Carolina State Bulldogs good block as well from the center Eric Brown Jr gagos his extra point is good with 530 left to go in the third quarter South Carolina state has opened up a 10-point lead they lead the Citadel 16 to sixir and hot water locally owned alumni operat is the

the southern conf great on hands here at Johnson ha good Stadium South Carolina State fans making a trip from Orangeburg pleased that their Bulldogs are up 16 to six the S Bulldogs try to respond on this drive and we're going to take a look at the last touchdown from South Carolina state South Carolina state features three offensive linemen who are preseason First Team all M selections V and they opened up a hole for Josh Shaw yeah you got to let the big dogs eat right you got Nick Tas number 78 Eric Brown number 76 up in that middle and they were able to get the running back in for the touchdown way to finish a drive if you're South Carolina State University Who had who had trouble down there in the Red Zone with penalties and all types of stuff the last two weeks but they were able to finish with seven on the board Shaw had a touchdown last week at Florida A&M he gets one this week here at the Citadel first down from the 25 Bennett play action surveys the field looks to the left sideline and completes Devon pezel there's our man Devon pezel he came up big last week and really the offensive line for Citadel they gave Jonathan Bennett a bunch of time to get deliver that ball and great job first down it'll move quickly here Cooper Wallace up the middle for a nice gain and getting back to peasnell that I asked coach Tron about him and he said his number got called the way CSU was playing their defense but they're really pleased with his growth put on some weight this season he's more durable limited last year because of his frame but they're looking for big things to continue out of him it's a player that does everything right hard worker stays after practice Bennett he takes off picks up a couple yeah as you was talking about pel 64 205 grad student from Campbell he's a big Target that got some speed so he's he's really been a great friend to Jonathan Bennett so far and as we look at the replay that one was a broken down play Jonathan Bennett was gonna throw it out um to to the edge but the South Carolina State Defense did a great job of pursuing so if he would have threw it it might have been would have been an interception so great job by Jonathan Bennett of just eating it and he gained a yard out of it third and short South Carolina state territory options here for the Citadel they'll go up the Middle with Wallace and Cooper Wallace is short of the first down yeah no thoughts of trying to go for it on fourth down here oh no excuse me they're bringing their muscle package in they're bringing the big guys in and fourth and two they're saying they're going to go and get it make this a ball game we're still in the third quarter but they Trail by 10 fourth and two they need to get to the 44 to the left side and down the sideline tripped up that's number 29 for the Citadel Elijah Bass the senior tight end from Stafford Virginia wow what a great draw up you you know usually when you get in that formation you have the tush push that the Philadelphia Eagles made so popular that everybody's doing now but they decided to put an extra wrinkle to it and hit him on the outside amazing play call by Citadel not someone that we were necessarily prepared for V but not someone that South Carolina state was prepared for either that's right Cooper Wallace puts his head down Dives forward and I tell you to the anytime Cooper Wallace have the ball in his hands it is is at least going for three4 which is what coach Drayton wants to do he's even mentioned that hey we might be we want to just get three and four each play if we do that then we're a successful offense versatile back in his fifth season with the Citadel second down Wallace in the back field with Bennett Bennett rolls right fires incomplete intended for pesnell yeah they really similar to South Carolina state when they hit the big touchdown on the corner route Citadel Drew up the same type of play right there but wasn't able to execute wasn't able to get open but essentially this game is coming down to manto man can the Cel offense get pass plays going and can they win on the outside with their receivers I sure know that pesnell can do it now let's see if the other guys step up it's Taylor Graves Bops and Cherry Who's In Motion Bennett looking back to his left he's got Sal Diaz touchdown wow great scheme great play and if you look at that play you got big boy number 55 Bryson Jones offensive lineman and and Nick Pina Rodriguez Pina number 63 they led the drive look at those big boys eat touchdown by Citadel the former linebacker converted to tight end gets the touchdown for the Citadel taking over this season for Patrick mcweeny was in Jet's rookie miniamp in the spring that was an electric play Dave that was that was incredible extra point from Barnes is good and the Citadel responds they're back within three B man great play call by The Citadel I love when the big boys get in space to see what they can do as you see it was two on Two And and the big man finished at the end for the touchdown great scheme now it's a one possession game no dogs the Columbia South Carolina native Hond High School product Cashes in for six we've got a three-point game once again yeah this is this now that Citadel has a little momentum they have the crowd behind them this is GNA be a great it has to be a great defensive drive for the Citadel right here and on South Carolina State on the flip side you want to say hey we just scored on the last Drive let's go do it again both offenses on display here in the third quarter matching touchdowns to 16 to 13 game Battle of the Bulldogs first of two Battle of Bulldogs this season for the Sidle of course they'll have Samford a socon fo on their schedule towards the end of October Kaden high back to receive the kickoff High to the 15 to the 20 High past the 30 takes it out to the 35 and South Carolina state will start with good field position anytime Kaden High has the ball it has an opportunity to go to six so man that was great great return put the offense in great field position here we go s ell's defense versus the big offensive lineman from South Carolina state bulds Eric Phoenix has been impressive this afternoon for South Carolina state yeah he's been very efficient he's been he's played within the system hasn't gotten outside of the system hasn't tried to win the game himself he's really just taken what the defense has given them and and we'll see what they do here flag is down and a delay a game not what coach Barry and Company were looking for yeah this this was a problem last week especially when it came down to their first play you expect they get the play call from the sideline and that they're just ready to play once they get on the field on the first play coming out of um the the kickoff return but they're backed up first and 15 this is what they did not do on the last Drive which they started the game this way and it ended up not being great and not being successful for them this is Enos Carter he slips through and Carter works the left sideline for a first down yeah we talk about DeAndre doart who does a great job in the Run game but check out that block that DeAndre deart just put on right here if you look at number three right here he gets in a kickout block that was just enough to let Elijah Carter go for the distance first down from the 47 this is doart gains eight seems like South Carolina state is going to continue to keep that philosophy of of feeding the big boys getting a run getting the run down the middle let's look for the the same play right here he's over a 100 yards this afternoon doart gets the call once again and it takes about five or six Citadel Bulldogs to wrap up doart yeah really another great run I'll watch out for the play action fake right here after two big runs watch this play action fake this see try to get him to jump off sides right here jamice Barry the head coach for South Carolina state calls the plays first and 10 doart he's tackled by Will Pian yep keep giving it to your guy they they decided to give it to do hard again consider their defense they was ready right there for for the point of attack picker and a local talent out of wandoo high school earned his way to starting through camp on about 15 pounds of good weight through their strength and nutrition program came in third on the death chart V and he's worked his way into being a starter former division three All-American Carter goes in motion Phoenix runs out a time now up the sideline maybe gains a yard s defense did a nice job that time putting pressure on Phoenix yeah great job by Citadel defense pursuing another again another coverage sack right there end of the quarter a big fourth quarter coming out so we'll

unable to do so last week and Coach Barry you know he just said we have to make sure we have enough fuel in the tank to finish V that affected us last game cital well conditioned a good football team and it's their first home game a noon game so we just have to make sure we have enough fuel in the tank and you know seal that victory yeah this is going to be a big quarter for South Carolina State University to see if they grew up a little bit from last week they had a really good FAMU team down on on down in the fourth quarter and they were up and they were winning and but they couldn't pull it out on the flip side cdale was down but they were able to come back and win the game so you got the tell of two stories and see which one will come out on top third down at nine for Phoenix and Company deep down the middle of the field he's got Smith Brown really great job by Eric Phoenix standing in the pocket delivering a strong ball it looked like the Citadel they were in their cover two defense where they disguised it a little bit and he knew that the middle of the field would be open he just needed time in his offensive line gave him enough time to get the ball there man what a great concept Justin Smith Brown he's been on fire tonight or today rather seems to continually set up South Carolina State scoring opportunities he's done so here inside the five this is Adams is he in yes touchdown oh check that they're GNA call him short just before the goal line wow inches F yeah well it seems like that's what this game been all about it's been right there on the one yard line on the inches and the last time South Carolina state offensive line was able to dominate and get him in and man it'll be really good if Citadel can find the strength within him to get a stop and hold him to three now they bring in Josh Shaw their power back one touchdown in this game already and it's a two touchdown game for Jos Shaw touchdown again let the big men eat up front and it seems like South Carolina state big man are handling the citadel's big man down there in that low Red Zone area replay Josh sha gets it in and it got to be a gratifying feeling Ben from South Carolina scoring

brilin no no following the lead of graves Bops no to the 30 35 across the 40 another great return he he started off the game that way with a great return same way same play design and here you get the offense in good position and this is shot territory we don't have time to wait if you're cell's offense so this is an opportunity for you to take some shots still play within your system you got 13 minutes left but allow Jonathan Bennett the opportunity to to make some plays this game Bennett so far 6 for 11 for 72 yards a touchdown and a pick the Citadel starts from the 43 ends around Grace Bill up a stiff arm he finds room on the right side a flag is down yeah they lined up in that traditional triple option set that I'm sure the sale fateful know very well you got a flag right here gra bips a former aack in that offense yeah he felt right back at home and also I got a shout out Lamar Owens coach Lamar Owens on the citadels he's the co-offensive coordinator he was my coach at Georgia Tech he was the aback coach So speaking of aack I know that they know that well number nine in the defense that 5y penalty will be in for from the previous spot replay first down of course new NCA rules still having to change their offensive around certainly spreading it out a lot more going to a more passing oriented attack and teams are still they still have that option element to them you see those two backs in the back field with the quarterback with the tight end offset they're still able to do the triple Ops shotgun here goes a shot Bennett play action fires one downfield he's got Pennell 10 five tripped up at the one there's the shot territory that I was talking about Pez Nell a big play receiver two graduates Jonathan Bennett and Pez Nell graduate students coming in to make a difference at the Citadel for their offensive production Bennett to pezel a big play and the Bulldogs are in business at the one yd line there's a South Carolina State Bulldog who was down for a

like the Bine [Music] Garrison Johnson in the back field next to Bennett Diaz goes in motion first and goal from the one back on one yard look y ly again it's Bennett pushing there Way Forward they're short bulog on bulog right here we'll see if this beefed up offensive line for the Citadel can get one yard they have three tries to do it second and goal from the one three more tries I should say well here in this territory Jonathan Bennett 61 and 235 I mean he's a force to be reckon with as well here comes to tush push Bennett pushed from behind by Johnson and they're short once again the ball came out something happened with the exchange now I'm tired reaching the goal line prior to this snap offside Number 96 of the defense that penalty inforced half the distance goal line from the previous spot replay second down so half the distance to the goal they'll pick up a half yard yeah instead of having those three tries three more tries like you said it's like they got four more tries right the carries have gone to Ben it so far second and goal from inside the [Music] one Bennett under Center graves bips in motion Bennett tries to bully his way in touchdown great job by Bennett there man that took some work right there he had to use all of that 62 235 in order to get into that end zone way to find a seam right there for the touchdown again Citadel is drawing close and they're showing that they are not gonna get out of this thing they are ready to come back had a rushing touchdown last week at CSU gets one this week against South Carolina state Ben Barnes sent the extra point and back and forth we go vad once again a three-point game three-point game here we go oh we got some late late activity late [Music] flag yeah really good to see the Citadel have that fight in then this team has some fight in last last week we talked about that they were battle tested their coaches had to be in the stands this week they're down and they're they're they're still keeping themselves in the game and eventually hoping that their defense can make a stop so that their offense can go up after a touchdown personal foul unnecessary roughness number 38 of the kicking team that 15 yard penalty being forced on the kickoff another uncharacteristic Mistake by The Citadel coach Dr he talked about it at halftime as we look at this touchdown right here Jonathan Bennett he had to he had to use all of that 62 235 Bulldog power in order to get into that touchdown right there coach Drayton made it a point for this team to add size in the off season they ate weights wanted to get bigger KN credits strength coach Joe vargan his staff with what they were able to do said from January to Camp you can see in the size of the o line this season they all jumped in weight good weight they've been able to create mass and anytime you have mass you can move another human being coach says you know at military schools typically guys in the trenches are under sized because of the process but they added a ton of mass this season so coach drton is really excited about the Line Credit strength coach Joe VAR with that there you saw the size of their quarterback Bennett push his way through yeah it seems like like is paying off I mean South Carolina state they have some big guys on on their team as well but to see the Citadel have that fight in them to see them go on the one yard line and really play Smash mou football and get the ball into the end zone that's what you want to see as a citadel fan that's what you want to see as a citadel coach to 15 pass 20 and out to about the 23 Y Line That's where South Carolina state will start by dual threat quarterback Eric Fenix was for 181 yards so far this afternoon he also run for 41 yeah he's been a dual threat this game you know they they got into their field with with the option play where he was able to get out on the Ed and do some things with his feet but he's also to ex drives and keep alive people Miss Back Field most a couple coup Phoenix it's and we've heard from often this afternoon back word start one of the off a thing for them they they got better towards this game but last they had a lot of first 15s this game they had at least on the draw it's KY Adams tackle is made by K Williams williamss starting safety last season at Niel this season great job a back running back to get more out of that a great job by the C defense of staying home and staying disciplined just get yard second Phoenix drops back over the middle he complet to Carter not Carter so El he picks up the first down yeah he the he was behind the sticks but because his electric speed athleticism Hiser V State freshman of the year in that conference two time all conference selection made his way tosu so playing for the bucks will see ETSU this month now playing for South Carolina State on the option the pitch is to two hard out P the0 yes they have on the edge if you just fundamentally look they have three receivers on the outside where there's two only two Defenders out there and then they have a defense who they don't have to block the quarterback spotted at the 40 so second down four Phoenix running behind sh nothing there G yeah Thomas W that's a name that we've been saying all game he came up with another stop he started the game with now to finish showing why the cad third he's a spoken leader on defense every down linebacker for third and four KY Adams in the back field the Phoenix Kaden High goes in motion Phenix Del waivers to high and he'll have enough for the first down yeah that's a great concept easy concept easy for the quarterback to read got three Defenders one runs it out to getner out of there and open up transfer inside confence freshman last season playing for Tigers first and 10 Adams not much g a one yeah that was actually an R High School career Two all time being rusher in South Carolina history finalist for the football award in state South Carolina great second and nine Phoenix tried the right sideline incomplete out of bounds intended target was Justin Smith Brown y trying to do easy pitch catch right there there one1 out there I love the play call looks like Eric f it looks like he called that he called that play on but was is third and n substitutions made on defenses St brings fresh bodies to rush Phoenix bring pressure completes the high but he is tackled right away by Kale Williams yeah good job by K they tried to get K on a mismatch there your speed versus my speed Williams said man I'm here with you situation now for South Carolina
