8/30/24: Boise State vs Georgia Southern Full Game: ASHTON JEANTY RUNS WILD!

[Music] has it and he fumbles the ball at the end recovered by boyy state they will say it is Broncos football no now they'll say incomplete yeah the side judge came in said incomplete we'll take a look at it here yeah this is going to go to replay Maran McCoy KN it out Rey I will be shocked if replay does not stop and look at this and uh that looked like a catch to me Mike possession possession he made a football move up the field and then it got punched out this should be boyy stay on the field with an incomplete pass the previous play is on the video review all right so let's first here apologize for the technical difficulties welcome to Statesboro Georgia for college football here today with boisey State and Georgia Southern it is 7 nothing Broncos on a 77 yd touchdown run by Ashton Genty one of the best running backs of the nation and now you're watching the Eagles with a catch from Marcus Sanders Jr fumbling the ball here apparently Ry they have ruled it down but now replays take a look at I mean indisputable video Evans to overturn it I believe you'll have it here because Marcus Sanders Jr makes the catch to me he controlled it okay had possession went up field made what they call a football move and then Marco notri the the linebacker 53 came and punched out there was a clear recovery by boyy state okay so it should be their ball now the side judge came in and said incomplete which is fine but there was continuing action with a clear recovery by Boise State I think this will be reversed and I think this will be Boise State football our replay official today Marty abzan and Eric power the communicator they got the Sun Belt video Center taking a look at this here and yeah from that Angle now you need indisputable video evidence to me to me they have it right here it looks like he's got it he's got it in his hands he's tucking it he goes up field and then it gets punched out by Marco notani and you got the clear recovery there by Alexander tub that's indisputable video Evans they're going to reverse [Music] this I'd be shocked if they don't here's our official trenis Livingston and he'll give us the call but yeah that could be really damaging here for Georgia Southern after the video review it was the completed pass fumbled by the receiving team recovered by the defense at the 50 yd line first and 10 Boise State at the 50 well and Reen you talked about this in the open what was Georgia Southern's problem last year get the football way turnovers turnovers they were minus 10 turnover ratio which was 124th in the nation one of the worst and their point of emphasis this year by Clay Helen protect the football we've already seen a couple fumbles they were able to jump on one that one uh not so lucky you're right he's not going to like it cuz that's a second the first one was recovered by their offensive lineman and this one it's now Broncos football from Midfield with a seven nothing Advantage quarterback is madx Matson from the shotgun jensy rolls out from the back field and makes the catch and has a g at least five yards they call it six he does a great job in this category too that's what makes him so dangerous you want him one-on-one with a Lineback you know jenty caught four 43 receptions last year out of the backfield for 569 yards and five touchdowns and that's why NFL Scouts love and obviously he's a dynamic running back we already saw that today with the the home run but he can catch the ball and he can also pass protect he's a good blocker back there as well he had 263 touches in 12 games last year rushing and receiving averaging 21.9 a game now the catch is made here by Chris Marshall and he has a first down for the Bron bronos that's a gain of seven jenty re was involved in 30% of the team's offensive plays All Season yeah I know he the offense goes for him but if you're a boisey State fan like to see Chris Marshall with a catch early he's a a player that was at Mississippi uh was at Old mayus Texas A&M went to kilgord Junior College big time player they think they got one here in Chris Marshall first and 10 Broncos now from the 38 jeny what was that shoulder right he's taking on all comers yards after contact he's been spectacular with well and and Devon Gilmore the linebacker actually shot through there and you thought okay he might have a chance on Ashton jenty but he presses a little bit of a stiff arm on Gilmore he's able to bounce it you're like okay maybe he doesn't have much still picks up four yards on first down second down boisey state Genty again and inside the 30 he's going to be about a yard shy of the first down but last year he had an average of 4.5 yds after contact and led the nation in that category here's what he did just a little while ago yeah tremendous blocking by that offense line you see the speed of Ashen jenty breaks a tackle there with his contact balance and a little switches the ball which is fine so he can use that stiff arm on chance Gamble and he takes it to the house longest run of the season last year was 68 yds and he has a 77 yd run the one you just saw for the touchdown to begin this 2024 season third and short for the Broncos play fake to jenty Madson will throw it back to him and and he slips and goes down and he's going to lose four yds in the play Jacob Ferguson was there for Georgia Southern lost and it's going to be fourth down in about five yeah offensive coordinator Dirk cutter he's been coaching 42 years he's been a head coach and offensive coordinator everywhere tries to get a little tricky there good job by that Georgia Southern defense staying home that time I think yeah he might have maybe out outsmart yourself maybe a little outside Zone one of the best running backs in the nation I think you're with that big offensive line you would get your up one or two but they're going to go for it here Mike yeah they've got a really good field goal kicker too but they do elect to go for it here on Fourth and six nine of 11 last year on fourth down sire gains is in the backfield the true freshman madson's pass is incomplete looking for Caples cutting across the middle and he got hit by TJ Smith for Georgia sou yeah defensive coordinator Brandon Bailey said I'm going to be aggressive dials up a blitz gets to Matson makes him throw it and that's a takeaway for the Georgia Southern Eagles first incomplete pass of the game from Madson and the Eagles after turning it over don't give up any points ESPN college football is brought to you by G there's only one and Progressive Insurance protect the stuff you love with renters insurance visit progressive.com [Music] welcome back it is 7 nothing boisey State here Georgia Southern Football from their own 3 4 yd line surviving after the fumble and boyy state had turned it over on Downs that pass incomplete for Derwin burges so it's a little different this year here for the Eagles right last year a little more pass heavy they were 13th in the nation though in passing reading over 300 yards a game of that great quarterback Davis Brin rushing just about 117 now coach Helton offensive Corner Ryan Ryan app they want to be a little more balanced yeah they would love to be 50/50 uh in a perfect world but obviously the game will dictate that but yes he definitely need to get more balance with that run game OJ Arnold's at the backfield here but fren is under pressure and taken down nice job by Braxton fely and Jake rip for boisey State yeah fy's a big defensive tackle big 300 pounder you see him come inside throw down the center Chandler strong great use of Hands by Braxton FY gets to JC French for the sack had three sacks last year it's his first here of this campaign it's now third down and 16 defensive lineman a little faster today than when I played Mike yeah thank God motion man is dalen Cobb he was banged up earlier he looks fine now the pass from French and not looking for it was Derwin Burgess and it's going to be fourth down yeah it seem out of sorts Georgia Southern just no rhythm uh and yeah it's early on but give some credit to that boisey State Defense defensive coordinator Eric shander talked to him yesterday he was excited about this group they filled just a couple holes in the portal not much but they feel really good going in this season and they look good early second time Alex Smith is on to punt here for Georgia Southern Latrell C is back to return he's standing inside of his own 30 yd [Applause] line fair catch fair catch made by the so manx Matson back onto the field here and he's got the experience with this program right we talked about it at the start Malachi Nelson a five-star recruit number one overall recruit in the 2023 class and transfer from USC retri freshman he came in to compete for the job they ended up going with Matson who had a lot of experience from play in last year yeah I mean he knew he was going to come in to compete miky Nelson and madx Matson won job I mean he's just a great competitor he's got a very what they like to say a calm confidence about him to your point Mike had a great understanding of the offense and the verbiage was I think gave him a head start and he's just you know they call him mad dog he's a tough competitor he's the type of leader you want at that quarterback position looks like the eagles got a little bit of a head start there as cheny has tackled multiple flags are down the field Justin roads defensive tackle looked like he got across the line first I was going to say rhs almost took the hand off so so I'm just going to guess he jumped off sides no I I got written down in my notes for Justin rhods very quick off the ball that was a little too quick transfer out of Windgate his fifth year for roads offside Defense number 88 more than five players in the back field offense those penalties off set replay first down oh there you go yeah so you legal formation only six guys on the line of scrimmage can't do that got to have at least seven so you get a lot of that early right alignment issues right especially again Dirk cutter very experienced offensive coordin was a head coach Tampa Bay Buccaneers former head coach of Boise State years ago and lot of formations he likes to do a lot of [Applause] movement so back to First and 15 Prince St goes in motion what of the wide receivers Matson goes over the middle and it's incomplete for CES and he was covered by Dorian Smith hey good coverage there by Dorian Smith right in that hit pocket C 29 yd CES who tore his Achilles in June of 2023 last summer Rey he comes back for Spring ball how impressive is that he's one of the leaders of this team yeah no it's very impressive you know you go back to 22 where you had 51 reception you know he he's a he's a player for sure and it's a big deal to get C back now the give goes to sire gains and this is his first Carry of his career the true freshman gets across the 45 yd line and a first down for boisey State it's a gain of 18 so in this era of the transfer portal and you talk about kids going from college to college Cy gains is a true freshman he's only 17 years of age and they said he is incredibly fast and it's back to gains and he has another first down run this time to the 42 of Georgia Southern and The Story Goes he was committed to Arizona State and then when Spencer Danielson was the interim head coach he took over with two games left last season gain says hey I'm going to come to Boise sake Kos said I don't know if I'm going to be here on the interim you know but he ended up coming to Boise State and here he is fourth youngest player too by the way in FBS just 17 years old and Spencer danielson's still here too when it was all said and done gains goes out now though and Genty is back in they fake it to him Madson finds Cameron Bates and Bates has a first down run nice job of mixing up plays here for the bronc and it looks like such a simple pass by the quarterback but a tremendous job by Matson just to lead the receiver where he can just catch it turn up easy run for baits and a nice looking offensive play well and speak of a true freshman he's another one and his first catch of his career out of Mansfield [Applause] Texas First and 10 Madson wide open making the catch and then fumbling the ball it's Austin Bolt they're going to say it's Georgia Southern now they'll say incomplete they're going to rule it incomplete yeah it was a nice route by bolt good throw by Madson they call it incomplete we've already seen this once today in this game we'll have a look here it's a good throw yeah you know wow yeah that's replay might look at that as well but I I do think there was definitely more of a bobble there you hear the crowd boing they don't like it right he doesn't have complete control it ready they're going to look at this but again the ruling on the field was an incomplete pass the previous play is on the you need indisputable video evidence the call on the field is incomplete here's one of these things when you watch this play back right you slow it down and you go to you know oh he's got it you got to watch this back in real speed I think too kind of to get a sense of whether he had this football as well you know it is bobbling as you said I'd love to just see it back in real speed for a moment and that's what the officials are looking at right that's the call you got to make there was an initial Bobble so right here he gets it he goes down there's an initial Bobble there then he goes to tough and he goes forward so you know this is one of those bang bang plays where if they call it a fumble on the field it's definitely staying as a fumble they're not overturning it they called it incomplete it's just a question of it's just a question of if they believe he controlled it long enough and made what we talked about earlier a football move I mean boy it's so close I'm inclined to say he did possess it enough and turn up before it gets tackled and they may reverse this one like they did the other one but boy this one's closer than the other one that's Justin Myers there who comes in to knock the ball down yeah the junior safety then it was Tyrell Davis who recovered it you say bite the football and I just this one's closer than the other one I think this one's going to stand because the call was incomplete if it was called a fumble it would have stayed a fumble incomplete I think it's going to stay video review the ruler on the field stands incomplete pass which you know these fans aren't happy if you're a Georgia Southern fan at home you're probably yelling at me and yelling at the TV but there was just a little bit of a bobble there I thought maybe they might reverse it but but again you need to have 100% indisputable video evidence and there was just there was a doubt there you might have had 99% but you didn't have 100 and you got to let the play Stand All right so it's second down now for the Broncos here from the Georgia Southern 26 already on top 7 nothing after the 77 yd touchdown run by Ashton jenty who was in the back Field behind Maddox mson jeny another huge hole this time off the right side he cuts it back Genty eluding tacklers CS a block he's got another touchdown [Applause] 26 yards he's over a 100 he's got two scores Aston Genty impressive you know offensive line now the offensive Line's doing work give him credit a running back is only as good as his offensive line and he's very humble as Ash and jenty so he will tell you that as well but they did a tremendous job on that right side but once he got through that line of scrimmage it was all Ashton jenty let's take a look at it here it's just a stretch play to the right outside Zone as you will pushes a great hole look at that hole again beautiful but now once he presses and gets through the hole it's all Ash and jenty look at that spin move beautiful Cuts back again again the receivers on the outside do a tremendous job of not blocking in the back that was Latrell CES out there that didn't block in the back but had the hands up kind of to the screen but look at that spin move beautiful gets to the outside side there's CES right there a little screen and to the house he goes five carries 110 yards and two TDS in the first quarter now you know why there's a Heisman campaign out of boisey for Ashton jenty no doubt I mean he led the nation in broken tackles first downs and yards after the catch and you see a little bit of all that on those runs that he's had so far today listen as a former running back I I was excited to see him play today he's exceeded my expectations of what I thought I was going to see already and there's 2 minutes and 50 seconds left in the first quarter that's how good he is MH and he's the perfect size you know people talk about I want a 6'2 he's 59 215 that compact build he's tough to see be you know EMT Smith's one of the best running backs ever right he's that 59 build as well I just love that build for a running back like Ashton jenty big legs solid 14 nothing start here for the Broncos and Buchanan on the return for Georgia sard he's got a hole and he gets knocked down by the kicker Jonah doas 44 yds on the returns a good starting field position here for the Eagles but you know you talk about jeny here they got the uh video game we were hand this yesterday yes it's it looks like the case for the video game and it's his uh push for the Heisman yeah you open up that's a sticker that looks like a CD it's a big push are sending it out to all the media we got them yesterday and uh listen when when you give out something like that you better back it up he's already backed it up in the first quarter and he's got the pose after his first touchdown as well today got to believe the hype right he's living up to it so from Midfield Georgia Southern begins this drive here jayen white is in the back field JC France the quarterback from the shotgun hand off Wi just a couple of [Applause] yards well our Stellar ABC college football triple header capped off tonight how about this one Notre Dame and Texas A&M Mike Elco and his debut as the A&M head coach going up against Notre Dame and quarterback Riley Leonard who he coached the last two years at Duke yeah I think they know each other well listen that Texas STM defensive front I think they're going to do some work today that he's a defensive minded coach defensive line I'm looking forward to that one tonight French going deep and it's going to be overthrown and incomplete for Josh Dallas closest to it though was am Maran McCoy the cornerback for boisey State yeah trying to take a shot there stretch the field a little bit but again now you're third and long right and now you know you're in the Wheelhouse for this boisey state defense and defensive coordinator Eric shander we'll see what he does here if he dials up some pressure trying to get to JC French they just try to get there with the the front four and do Max coverage on the back side White's going to go split out wide to the top of the screen three receivers on the bottom and the catch is made by Josh Dallas and he gets a little bit of help and gets to the 40 yd line it's going to be close to see if they give him the first down and they do yeah great effort by Josh Daniels again tunnel screen we saw it earlier today they did a nice job Josh dalls makes the catch makes an initial guy Miss and then lowers the shoulder and fights to make sure he gets to the yard to gain which was a 40 yd line for the first down gets right there big that was a big play for Georgia Southern now we were talking to members of the coaching staff they said be on the lookout for number 19 he eats Sleeps football and he makes a heck of a play there for the first down for the Eagles and the drive continues now this pass is caught by Derwin Burgess Jr and he gains nine yards on a first down pass play winding down to about a minute to go here in the first quarter that was a nice Ball by JC French and in Rhythm gets it to Burgess and you know first down a big play like that on first down does wonders for your offense second is short this is an important drive here yes it is I I believe they need to answer [Music] here second and short fled she's going to be sacked Jake rip JC sacked on the play by number 43 Jake rip yeah and that's where you know you just can't take that sack if you're JC French I mean Rip's blocked initially and then he fights off it and French just has to eat it and now you were in a beautiful spot second and two you take that sack nice play by rip and now you're you know third and medium third and long here this is actually the shortest third down theyve had though so far here today third and seven the clock 15 seconds to go the play clock though is inside 10 so they'll have to SN it here before the end of the first quarter French Steps up gets away and JC French has the first down he's tripped up of the 20 yd line by Ronney Robinson and we talked about his athleticism early they may not run him purposely but he can make plays with his feet excellent job there by JC French it's a 16 yd gain to the 20 yd line and that's the longest Rush of the game here today for Georgia Southern and that takes us to the end of the first quarter of action first meeting of all time here today between the Broncos and the Eagles it is 14 nothing boisey State we're back with a second quarter after this to the college football rankings we go brought to you by all state Georgia no trouble today Rey 34-3 over Clemson Georgia is Georgia we'll leave her right there uh you know but yeah they're they're they're the best right now couple other games in progress there Ohio state with an early lead as well and second quarter starting with cob and the catch here for the Eagles a short pickup the other one I thought I saw there was Penn State yeah West Virginia that was split today game day the crew had it like three and three on that game and for like a week I they can thank Pat MCA for that for like a week a lot everyone was picking West Virginia that's all Penn State herd for the last week is we're going to lose in Morgantown well doesn't look like it's going to happen MH eagles are in the Red Zone here down 14 nothing start of the second quarter OJ Arnold in the back [Applause] field keeper by fs and takes a big hit as he gets inside the 10 and he shoved out of bound he fumbled he lost the ball by number 21 yeah but good run good play call even with the fumble he gets the first down good block he's got the ball in the proper hand the left hand so it does get slapped out by number six Jeremiah Herby actually reached to knock that out but it was enough for the first down but boy they need to do better ball security they do cob was over there to recover it so that's three fumbles today by Georgia Southern one that they've lost first and goal though French floats it up to the end zone there's some contact and here comes the flag C the intended receiver Irby got into them yeah those back shoulder Fades they're the hardest to cover if you're a DB it's one-on-one you see Herby so now cob knows where the ball as he can slow down I think he actually started to fall on his own which caused Irby to fall over him number six the ball be placed at two YW the what just say in those situations if you're a defensive back you got to look back the yeah you got to turn back but those ones are just so tough you know and if you're if you're a crafty Shifty wide receiver you can actually slow down and you can actually cause that contact which I think C did right there Jaylen white is back in the back field it's first and goal he gets the toss white takes the hit he's in the end zone touchdown touchdown and that's how you finish off a run if you're a running back Jaylen white 61 220 just a toss right good ball security Get Low run behind those PS excellent job by Jaylen white you know Ty Benfield came up the safety got low as well but Jaylen white 61 220 with a head of steam he's going to win that battle at the goal line he must win that battle and he did he much need a touchdown for Georgia s and a bad snap here here and picking it up it's going to be Matthew Daniel the holder and he gets tackled down and no extra point for Georgia Southern but they'll take the six White had nine touchdowns rushing last year gets his first of the Season here and the Eagles are on the board in their opening drive of the second quarter 14-6 boyy State twoy touchdown run by Jaylen white for Georgia Southern B snap on the extra point it's 14-6 tomorrow night on ABC our Modell Vegas kickoff classic number 23 USC number 13 LSU in Vegas sold out standal long Prime Time game Ry two new quarterbacks USC quarterback Miller Moss for Caleb Williams of course now the Bears and LSU quarterback Garrett NM for Jayden Danos is now with Washington on the return the Broncos Kaden Chan and they'll get the offense started across the 20 any pressure for those two quarterbacks both replacing heis Trophy winners right it's an awesome weekend here this Labor Day weekend of college football continuing to Monday this is the best way to kick off college football at five straight days right Thursday to Monday tremendous games all over the place let gets shot up here with this one boisey state and Georgia Southern so the Broncos two touchdown runs by Ashton Genty 77 yd 26 yds and now back on offense here from the 23 I mean just having Genty back there I mean it just allows you to do so many things that was the first key of the defense for Brandon Bailey tackle Genty well they do it this time and Isaac Walker makes the play giving up just one yard on that Rush yeah you got to get to him you got to wrap him up and then your teammates got to get there as well because again his Tech balance is excellent the Georgia Southern as you said nice job that time get to him get low and get him [Applause] down second down and nine Matson for camper it's knocked out and incomplete excellent defensive play there Tracy Hill Jr whose number was 12 and then chained to zero why is that well yeah they give it to a player that exemplifies George of Southern does all the things he's a hardn player that's great coverage and then see how he that that outside hand goes through he doesn't grab and turn with that inside hand but he's there in case he misses it but he doesn't he knocks it down that's blanket coverage there by Tracy Hill it's third down for the Broncos Madson started this game five for five passing he's one for five since plenty of time back there the pass is intercepted picked off by Tyrell Davis and the Eagles have it an excellent field [Applause] position yeah Maddox Matson tries to force that in and tyel Davis the safety just kind of undercuts it look he's right in the middle of the screen he's just watching his eyes and boy great break on the ball Matson never saw Tyrell Davis he played that beautifully undercuts it in a huge takeaway for Georgia Southern and this place is starting to rock a little bit can hear the volume get cranked up after that play by these fans turnovers are now even at one a piece a fumble by Georgia Southern and now that interception by boisey state and Davis who had one interception last year which took to the house a 28- yd return for a touchdown has his first of this 2024 season here and after a really rough start yeah all of a sudden the Eagles are right back in well it seems like they calm down right a little if you will in the beginning offensively but they' been into Rhythm the last time out it's a fle flicker white back to French and now he throws it and it's caught here by Tyler FL who goes down the sideline and from is pushed out of bounds inside the 20 and ended up working out and the senior tight end with a gain of 14 yeah transfer from alurn he like bobbled it looked like it was going to be dropped he catches it and gets down that left sideline for a big game they empty the Back Field a bunch formation to the top of the screen French though is going to keep it and he slides inside the 15 it's going to be a gain of three yeah remember gets marked right where he initiates his slide so it always looks like a bigger game when quarterbacks slide and always gets backed up a little bit but nonetheless couple yards on first down better positive than negative going to change it up cobs back in with LV Bunkley Shelton and Elijah Watson the other tight end jayen wh's in the back field Eagles have second and [Applause] eight they shift Watson and Cobb to the right directs out to White NOW reverse here for Derwin Bur and that time maybe a little bit too much and boyy state was not full yeah offensive coordinator Ryan appan he's pulling out all the tricks right now right he's just trying to get this boy boy State Defense going sideline to sideline they bent a little bit in the last couple plays but they haven't broke and it's third and [Applause] six white lining up back in the back field here fr third down wants to get it to White now instead it's car and the inning drops it incomplete and it's going to be fourth down yeah looked like he wanted to go to Jaylen white initially came off him went to cob but he probably would have been better off going to White initially and just see if he could turn the corners Square those shoulders up try to pick up the first down but he can't and will be a field goal attempt they had the snap on the extra points so let's see if Jackson wheeler can just redeem himself a little bit here he's a 6year player Matthew Daniels the holder and it's going to be Gavin Stewart to kick for a 31 yd field goal attempt it is up and it is good so the Eagles have converted the last couple of series now it's a five-point game and they get three off the turnover good game so far here from Statesboro Georgia 14 and N welcome back to Statesboro Georgia the eagles with a field goal 31 yds they're within five now with 11 minutes to play here in the second Mike Cory and reenie and goia with you here yeah it was a a much needed takeaway uh defensively for Georgia sou and they paid it off obviously would have loved to get a touchdown but they get the three and five-point ball game here in Statesboro [Music] Gavin Stewart to kick off there's Kaden Chan back for boyy [Music] State Chan from the 10 and he slips down before the 20 yd line and a flag comes flying in from the back judge [Applause] they got a I mean the 18 yd line hash mark made the tackle yeah right so but looks like he got a little help cuz I think we got a going to have a going to have a holding call here holding on the return team number 22 10y pen fansville college football update is brought to you by Dr Pepper Carson back through for 278 yds and two touchdowns today and Georgia had no trouble 34 to3 over CL somewhere else that's the biggest thing you need a you need a elite quarterback Carson back is that uh defense is what we thought they would be for Georgia that's that's a good dominating win in week one Rodney havam it uh ineligible that hurts Pit's depth at running back they haven't said why and then just a horrible leg injury for for Max Johnson on Thursday you wish him the best and obviously he's out for the season and hopefully we'll see him again next here the true freshman sire gains is back into the back field for boisey state and a long throw from meds and he's got his man and it's caught by Cameron camper all the way down inside the Georgia Southern 40 yd line got in front or got TJ Smith he got the step on him and makes a huge catch you hear analyst say he dropped it in the bucket watch this pass by madx Matson but GI Cameron camping camper uh credit as well cuz he ran by the DB got separation and Matson dropped it right in there that's a home run play right there on first down big chunk for boisey State no doubt 53 yds on that pass play fake to gains Madson LS it up for K balls he's got it down at the one yd line that one goes for 36 and Latrell CES what athleticism yeah and just concentration another good Ball by Matson to turn those hips puts it up there and then again the DB doesn't find the ball CES does goes up concentration let me show you a little athleticism and flip up and there's some trash talking going on right now I can tell you that between these wide receivers in the DB so the referees will be getting in there but boy athleticism concentration by Ces and again two strikes two great throws in a row by Maddox Matson now the eye formation it's gains and he's hit and he's going to be stopped he will not get the touchdown no gain on the play for the true freshman that happened pretty fast right a 53 yd gain a 36 yd gain second and goal coming up yeah trying to get the the true freshman sire gains his first career touchdown gave gave him a shot at it now we're going to bring in Ashton jenty and you know I'm not a play caller I'm an analyst so I get the second guess everything I'm pretty sure they're going to give him the ball with a big D lineman in front of them to block the Clydes package that's right instead they throw incomplete and Herbert guns was the one that was in there 98 yeah so any of the 90 numbers those are all defensive linemen they come in in short yardage they call it the Clyde sty package I asked if they ever get to run it they kind of laughed to me well they tried to throw it to him right there it goes incomplete but Ry I'm with you this is what happened previously they had a third and one and they didn't give it to jenty and now they finally do and there it is touchdown he's got three today that one from a yard out to add to a 26 yd run and a 77 yd run and boisey state adds another six yeah I'm not a play caller but when you have one of the best running backs in the nation I give him touches and on third down they go to him you still had big Herbert gums in there he wasn't too tired for running that little flat route he led block was a lead blocker there nice job and then you give it to Genty lower those shoulders get behind those p and put it in the end zone Jonah dmus for the extra point it's good and it's 21-9 boisey state and Genty with three touchdowns and we're still in the first half the three rushing touchdowns already ties his career hot the last time he did that was last year versus Colorado State I'm not a gambler okay just going to go out on a limb think he's going to break that record today yeah it's pretty incredible it's a very thick limb they probably saw it too by the way they're like hey man we know we can just give it to him for the one yard touchdown proba let me tell you let me tell you it's not as easy as you think you know everyone thinks you get the ball at the one or two yard line a touchdowns a for gone conclusion it is not I mean you got to get that ball in there you got to smell the goal line they try a different running back then you try a little throw to one of the big defensive lineman and finally you give it to your big gun I I'd like giving it to your big guy early because if he gets stopped and puts a little chip on his shoulder oh they sto me let's go again you got you got multiple chances to give it to him but it's all good get to him on third down he puts it in Broncos were sexth and rushing offense last year 24.9 yard per game largely in part thanks to jenty and super impressed with this offensive line for Boise State as well they're they're winning at the line of scrimmage they're doing a nice job ball blows off the T yeah the two long runs that he had I mean you talked about it the holes both on the left side and the right side were literally 5 yds wide yeah it's a good group you got a couple guys in the middle Mason Rand Randol Ben dly they're the leaders the center and guard that's twice now there b a charm let's See's going to have to hold it [Applause] down I I tell you what uh there's no Breeze in this TV that it must be right down there on the field the big American big beautiful American flag there just waving so it's obviously Breezy out there kanahi Kino is holding it down for boisey State as this kick now goes into the end zone ESPN plus is the home for more than 50 sunb belt football games this season here's tonight's featured match up we've got Troy hosting Nevada at 7 Eastern then next Saturday we got seven games highlighting the ESPN Plus Sun Bel football schedule go to ESPN plus.com to sign up Rey you and I will see Troy next week at Memphis at noon here on ESP Memphis another group of five program that a lot of people are picking to make that 12 team playoff and you know that that promo reminds me of commissioner Keith Gil who for the s Bel does a tremendous job with this conference and yeah great great teams Great Schools well it's in our talk with our coaches yesterday with Kay Helton and offensive coordinator Ryan appan along with defensive coordinator Brandon Bailey and that's what they're this group is trying to do right they want to be the cream of the crop in the sunbell conference David badinga gets the carry for them I mean you said it earlier about boisey State you know I I kind of equate Boise State in college football to Gonzaga in college basketball and the Georgia other coaches they the program referenced Boise state is like that's kind of what we want to do right we're FBS or FCS years ago you make that transition but now you become a national brand I think a lot of the group of prams ASP to do that P dinga stays in the back field now he shifts his position and goes out French Steps up he's got plenty of space here here comes the flag heads up French on the run and runs out of bounds into boyy State territory but let's check the flag yeah you know look he threw the flag at number 11 Bo Johnson to tight end we'll see if that's on the call it's going to be on the right side of the screen it's a good job by French to make that play and actually it it it it's going to it should be on Boise State cuz I don't think that's a good block right there but initially Bo Johnson got knocked down in the route so it should be pass interference on boisey state the way I looked at it cuz the block looked good and it didn't look like a hole but they're going to call yeah they're going to call hold 10 y penalty from the spot foul replay second down no it's understandable what you're looking at though I can I can see what you were saying that's going to be the first Georgia Southern penalty here now now we're not in we're not in the NFL obviously but I can tell you that's a 5 yard penalty an automatic first down in the NFL because an eligible receiver got knocked down in a route he gets back up gets called for the hold and you know you got to overcome things like that right so it negates a 36 yd run by the Eagles quarterback now the toss goes out to Binga and he's going to be held up at about the 30 yd line it's a gain of five you're watching Modello kickoff week here today on this final Saturday in August from Statesboro Georgia Mike Cory Rennie and goia with you for boisey state and Georgia Southern coming up at a halfway point of this second quarter it's going to be second make it third down here for Georgia Southern yeah the Run got him back to a manageable distance here to pick this up empty backfield fren's pass knocked down nice job Zion Washington coming in for the deflection yeah you see that speed by Washington to break on the football looks like that completion is going to be made move the change and watch Washington just break on the ball does a nice job not going through the receiver Josh Dallas kind of gets around him knocks it away excellent job again awaits the Alex Smith punt lets it Go and the Broncos will start at their own 29 yd line when we return 219 lead for the road team here today back after this it's time now for our player checkin presented by All State and how about checking in with this guy Ashton Genty already three touchdowns today reallyy yeah just everything we thought he would be and more speed Power Balance finishes it off here short yards the big Clyde D package with those D lineman locking in front of them and yeah I'd say it's a pretty good first half seven carries 112 and three tutes yeah he's got all the measurables too he began weightlifting at a very young age he was squatting 605 and he has the carry here across the 35 Y Line and can see the strength that he has and what he possesses well and he just he's got good patience to the hole he hits it fast but he's not out of control good Push by the offensive line and so just a basic run for him you look up and it's seven eight yards on first down I mean when they're doing that on first down that's trouble for defenses [Applause] second and two jenty again has the first down hometown's Jacksonville Florida was a graduate of Lone Star High School Frisco Texas played on both sides of the ball there and also played basketball and track and field too just one of those guys that seems like he can do a little bit of everything and look at his first 10 touches of the game here today yeah I mean it's it's everything you want right he's a home run hitter he'll go get you two hard yards three hard yards he'll catch the ball out of the back field little block and pass protection he's done it tonight it's it's everything you want and now he lines up at the bottom of the screen they empty the backfield on a first down and 10 from their own 40 Madson pressure gets rid of it and the catch is made at the 46 by Chris Marshall Chris Marshall shows you the hands right there that ball a little behind him by madx Matson Marshall puts those hands back catches you talked about Marshall earlier he's it originally a five-star recruit the number one wide receiver recruit in the 2022 class and this is kind of a Redemption year for him right you said it he went to Texas A&M in the fall Old Miss in the spring Kilgore Junior College in the fall and then he's been at boisey since January of this year as a four-point AR he's doing everything right he's been a model citizen the coaches are extremely happy with Chris Marshall camper goes in Motion jent in the back field a play fake to him and then they give it to him with a pass and he can't complete [Applause] it yeah and you you give credit to the Georgia Southern defense there cuz they sped that play up this is a screen pass and they made it go faster than they wanted to you saw maton kind of put a little zip on it Defender got in the way of it goes inom complete now a big third down here mhm for Georgia Southern this defense you got to try to get off the field here the true freshman sire gains is back in 26 for boisey State fourman rush for the Eagles Matson with time and has a completion over the camper first down Broncos yeah Camper's a big Target 63 64 all the time in the world for Maddox Matson to sit in that pocket finds camper and they move the chains that's a 10 yd gain we're coming up on 5 minutes to go in the first half this could be really damaging if Boise State gets something on this drive yeah I agree you want to keep points off the board right now if you're Georgia Southern Eagles don't want this one getting away from you before halftime the toss out to gains [Applause] DeAndre Morris on the tackle but that's a six-yard pickup yeah coaches raved about him again Drew freshman 17 years old 6' 209 lb excellent speed they said when you talk to him it's like talking to a 40-year-old he's very mature understands a lot and you know thrill they got him Morris as you see down on one knee yeah gains 26 in white for boyy State you know he gained about 20 lbs as well too you know so came in around the 189 190 Mark he's up to almost 210 uh and for a true freshman like you said you don't see that a lot and the other great thing is as a freshman now he's behind one of the best running backs in the country and Ashton Genty so he's going to learn Ashton jenty is not only their best player he's their hardest worker which which pays dividends throughout the team and a young sire gains is going to be able to see that and learn behind him and I like a lot how they're getting him involved early because I think we all know that this this is probably the last year for jenty go to the next level to yeah you want to get him some time and they're doing it early and often here in game one yeah and you love that in a in a week one meaningful game you know it's and it's not like they're taking anything away from jeny cuz he's already got three touchdowns yeah and over 100 yards once again seventh career 100 plus yard rushing game for jenty who has 124 here and out gaining Georgia Southern himself who has has 104 back to JT here he goes again Powers his way breaking tackles still on his feet inside the 15 yd line take notice folks back in the red zone are the Broncos and that's all Genty I mean there's penetration on the left side he jump Cuts in the hole takes it to the right side you can't teach that that's just great ability from a great running back and that's three missed tackles by The Eagles defensively on his way a 24 game and that's it's not like they they were missing easy tag I mean he's making them Miss [Applause] right and you really don't get rush so the defense got now gains is in and he changes things up but he's got some speed to the outside and gains is shoved out of bounds shy of the goal line by chance gamble but he's setting up a first and goal here as a flag comes in let's wait and get this call [Applause] holding offense number eight number three 10yd penalty from the spot of Def foul replay second down they got the wide receiver cables on the outside there and it happens sometimes when a back you know it's just this is little bit of an outside Zone we'll take a look Circle CES for you and so now when the back goes to the outside the defender tries to get get there C is locked up turns holding that Jersey it's an easy call for the officials and the correct call so backed up to the 20 for first and goal play action Madson wide open his gains look out s Gaines puts his head down and he's inside the 5 yd line shoved out by Tracy Hill Jr a lot of space over there reading yeah good good catch I mean wide open in the flat you know Matson was able to scan the field he gets it to gain and you I love physical running backs and there's no running out of bounds these all these backs today lower their shoulder and deliver the blow and young sire games did it right there cheny is back in will we have a career high four touchdown game today in the first half still by the way jenzy he does count it four touchdowns for Ashton Genty and boisey state scores yet again I told you I wasn't a betting man but I would have taken four and he did it in the next possession but watch The Defender for Georgia Southern bounce off him just right here you think you're going to get a tackle nope that listen that is a big linebacker in Devon Gilmore 250 pounds I mean the contact balance that Ashton Genty has is ridiculous extra point from Jonah doas is good we said it career high four scores and he's also scored a touchdown Which has happened four times tonight but in eight consecutive Road games a number that leads the nation so I mean to be able to have that confidence to know what you've got from this guy right now the offense I mean gez you almost feel like you can do anything we know what he did last year right you come into a new year and there's always a lot of hype and they're really hyping him rightfully so but you never know does the pressure get to a player does maybe he not perform like you thought he's come out in this first half in game one and and and actually overperformed capping off our Stellar Labor Day weekend Monday night on ESPN we got Boston College at Florida State number FL State loss of Georgia Tech and Ireland 24-21 you got the return of Bill O'Brien the new coach now at BC and how about their quarterback Thomas castalanos and Thomas castalanos gave Florida State fits last year so I tell you what defensive coordinator Adam Fuller for Florida State better have that group ready to go cuz that's going to be a tough game Spencer danelson has got to love this from boisey State coming here long trip first ever time playing Georgia Southern the heat it's 92° today we talked to Spencer Danielson yesterday 35 years old I was super impressed with [Applause] him and Georgia Southern with Buchanan they're going to return it from halfway to his own endone and he gets leveled at the 17 yd line what a hit by marel Reed back to jenty here with his four touchdowns today yeah breaks the tackle he's going to switch the ball little stiff arm at the end to the showing you his speed through the hole right here again little spin move gets to the outside makes some people Miss into the end zone again shows you Vision come back across the field here low of the shoulder behind the pads to finish run and again contact balance Defender comes off him walks it into the end zone he's got [Applause] everything last time that a boyy state player had four touchdowns in a game was George helani back on November 2nd 20 9 against San Jose State and jent's got a chance to get even more than that here's dalen cob for Georgia Southern up to the 25 yd line gain of six on first down what do you do now you got 215 in ticking first half yeah I think you up the pace right you try to get going here you hear me say Rhythm you know when teams get in rhythms they're able to move the ball there was a couple possessions where they've done that and they're slowing down a little bit here remember we got helmet Communications this year we haven't talked about that coaches can talk to the quarterbacks up to 15 seconds and uh we got the two-minute timeout this year in college football mike that's right new this year we will step aside we will return that's right Heisman POS already that was on the first of his four touchdowns today back to Statesboro after this we are back to Paulson Stadium 28-9 boisey State leads it thanks to the 152 yds on the ground and four touchdowns for Ashton Genty for Georgia Southern two minutes to go here before halftime Jaylen white with the [Applause] carry and you know is this one of those situations where you don't want to have a mistake or anything I mean the fans are probably like what the heck but down 289 you get the ball to start the second half too so you can get the the two for one if you can get some points here then you get it to start the second half and and try to get points so yeah I mean got to get this first down here it's your I mean you're thinking okay we might get this thing back all three of their timeouts remaining this is important here JC French from the shotgun shifts white to the outside French throws it over the middle the catch is made big first down reception by Tyler fromo his brother Jake from Georgia drafted by the bills and that 2020 draft from Tyler is the transfer from Auburn yeah good throw by JC FR pressure throw there to get that first down 12yd reception frenh outside catch LV Bunkley Shelton for the first time today short pick up and so now you know new timing rules at the two-minute timeout anything after now went out of bounds so the clock stops doesn't start until it snap after a first down in the field of play it'll stop till they reset the chains like the old rules just so you know I like that yeah do too second down and [Applause] six French and a keeper and upended at about the 45 yd line a timeout is taken here Klay hton wants it immediately and he gets it with one minute flat to go on this first down yeah JC French presses and he bounces you're like oh he's going to get to the outside and pick this first down up and Alexander tuder their Captain former walkon boundary safety tremendous tackle kind of gets around the pile and gets to JC French makes that tackle before he can pick up the first down well you mentioned tubber and it's interesting because you know he's a 6year player and at that Mountain West championship game last year Spencer Danielson who was elevated to the interim position when they fired the coach with two games left in the season they end up win into two games they go to the Mountain West championship game and they win it and tubber in that press conference basically had told the boisey state athletic director in president that hey we want Spencer to be our head coach and that's what they ended up doing they remove the tag he becomes the head man and here we are today yeah folks if you're watching and you don't know anything about boy he say that is the head coach that's not a player that's not a gr assistant he's 35 years old he's super impressive he's got to going to have a great career ahead of him but yeah when your players stand up for you it goes a long way and uh it's all worked out well for Spencer Danielson and boisey State first interim head coach to lead his team to a conference Championship Game title in FBS history and now it's French again here for Georgia Southern and it's a first down so the clock stops 56 seconds to go first half yeah good play call by Ryan appan there get him to the outside pick up the first down first thing but then get out of bounds as well so again very important for Georgia Southern got a chance for a two for one cuz you get the ball in the second half get some points here get some positive momentum for the locker [Applause] room French tries to dump it off to badinga and it's incomplete I think it's better off to that ball went incomplete actually cuz if he catches it gets tackled in bounds you going have to burn a timeout so that's actually a better better thing than for Georgia Southern two timeouts left for Georgia Southern all three still for boisey State there's TB again and again you can work the middle of the field cuz the clock stops after a first [Applause] down Quick Pass caught cob look out tayen cob and he was trying to break free but he gets down to the boisey state 34 yd line and a gain of 18 in the first yeah clock St moment they'll reset the change but now you're in scoring scoring position here their field goal kicker Gavin Stewart was 12 of 13 back at 22 and last year now here's a deep ball that's going to be well overthrown and incomplete but a flag comes in heie Bunkley Shelton was the intended target yeah he's with Jeremiah Irby they're locked up a lot of hand fighting here see Herby gets those hands on there and just never really lets him go kind of impedes them and I think that's where the call came in it was close though I I you've seen lesser not inter number six 15s from the previous spot automatic first down well like you said here now you're Georgia Southern you're down 28-9 but this is huge if you can get something for the end of this first half you get the ball to start the second half and you can try to get right back into this ball game you know any points obviously but a touchdown really gives you positive momentum in the locker room and you feel like all right we're back in this game okay and a timeout by the [Applause] Broncos yeah Georgia Southern's done a nice job moving down the field good running plays by JC French some good protection in the pocket he's made some nice throws to team with a lot of history six FCS national titles right back in 2000 the latest one they've had 11 confence titles they joined the Sun Belt back in 2014 which was their first year in FBS and they won the conference Championship that year they've been a three B they've had three bow wins as well throughout their career we talk about young coaches we talked about smer D derson but Georgia Southern you know Ryan applin the offensive coordinator is 34 years old and then the defensive coordinator for for Georgia Southern Brandon Bailey's 30 years old so some young coaches in in big positions Brandon Bailey is is is a funny guy we had a really cool meeting with him yesterday yeah but he has a tremendous amount of confidence too with his group a Mike Alco prot right came up yep ninth play of the drive here for Georgia SN play fake french End Zone just overthrown incomplete der with Burgess Jr was tracking in and Maran McCoy was uncoverage he kind of got knocked off his route did burges by Mar McCoy because if he can keep running to the corner I think he makes that catch and just kind of stumbles excellent effort but as that little stumble when he came out of his break little fade corner there goes incomplete still two timeouts left second and 10 with 28 ticks to go in the first half French keeper not much and hassine with a tackle they're going to have to use a time out and they do yeah I mean I like the play call because you have two timeouts but amount hassanin you know just he's preseason Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year number 91 and he still has a high ceiling he's going to get better and better from Egypt I mean well that's the thing it's it's a really great story his half brother Cory grew up in the United States and he actually played with Spencer Danielson in college and then so Ahmed Hassan ended up moving in with his brother before Co to learn American football he didn't know any English right he's the first FBS player to come from Egypt and so he learns he grows and then his brother helped say Hey you know I I played with Spencer you know you need this guy and he didn't have a lot of tape on him and stuff and so he's come in he's learned the system he's growing he's learning the language and his ceiling is so high voted as a team captain this year 12 and 1 12 sacks 16 and 1 12 tfls last year uh he's the real deal and again he's still learning football he really is I mean his his his knowledge is getting better and better I mean he's a tremendous Talent nine straight games last year for him with a sack which is the longest in FBS since 2015 so you go from coming from Egypt to the United States not knowing the language or really anything about football and he was actually voted the Mountain West defensive preseason player of the year so how about that yeah seventh in the nation in sacks last year he had 12 and a half sacks that was quiet early in this game but that was a big time play that he just made each team's got one timeout remaining 23 seconds to go what do you have here for Georgia Southern faced with a third and nine yeah I mean you want a touchdown here right but what was their Bugaboo last year turnovers right so you you got to make sure you protect the foot football first and foremost worst case scenario you come out of here with three points okay best case scenario you pick this first down up you're able to go in and get a touchdown in but got to protect it can't give it [Applause] away third and nine Eagles French to the Ed Zone he's got CAU he's got it touchdown Georgia Southern and Dal Cobb now dlan C monstrous response here at the end of this first half yeah Georgia Southern needed that that's going to give him that positive momentum going in to the locker room good throw by French watch cop go up high points it you know the safety tie Benfield was coming over thought he could intercept it if he would have played the man more than the ball I think he could have broke that up um but he didn't and cob goes up and makes the catch for the touchdown Gavin Stewart's extra point is good and Georgia Southern has come within 12 with 18 seconds to go in the first half and we'll get the ball to start the second half no you're read my mind now they have the chance for the two for one they get it there nice drive the end the half let's take a look at that touchdown see the route here going to look at the safety that's going to come over just a little late and again I think if he you know he thinks he's just going to be able to intercept that ball but you know cob actually goes up in front benfields just a little late big score for the Eagles hey you said it earlier about Georgia Southern kind of settling in a little bit right they they have some drops they were fumbling the ball earlier they they' now come into their own they had a nine playay 50-yard drive from Midfield it took up four minutes of which they score this one is an 11pl drive for 81 yards and they do it in 10 minutes 2 minutes and 10 seconds they definitely Cal down so I almost wonder with the with the communication now the coach to to player and obviously JC French has the speaker in his helmet he can talk to him up to 15 seconds on the play coock you can actually tell him some cming things as well you know not just the play call and the fair catch called for here for Boise State yeah that's new this year too right talk about that a little bit the communication offensive defense defensive players have it the teams have iPads as well they can come off the field immediately see the plays um so yeah technology has caught up to the game college football is accepting of it and it's a good thing for it but yeah that communication is is Big Time right now everyone says oh now you're not going to steal signals teams will still signal in certain formations so there'll be there'll still be some Shenanigans going on but for the most part can talk and yeah they they'll just take a knee here this is exactly what I I would expect get a lot more ingame adjustments on the fly as opposed to going into the film room on Sunday and saying ah jeez how come we didn't see that sometimes you ask a kid what happened hey what technique was the D linan in and they're like I and they tell you something and they're wrong now you now you have it you actually have the play immediately well that was a fun first half in Georgia Southern as we said numerous times will'll get the ball to start the second half as they Trail it by 12 here the week one opener and the first time these two teams have ever got together on the football field and that's the end of the first frame boisey State 28 Georgia Southern 16 after the break we head you back to the studio with Kevin nandhi and Boer McFarland with a halftime report you're watching Modello kickoff week back at Statesboro Georgia 2816 boisey State leads Georgia Southern as we get set for the start of the second half hi get everyone Mike Cory Reen and goia it's a two- possession game Georgia Southern gets the ball to start the second half how important was that last drive at the end of the first half though huge to me it kept them in the game and gives them a chance for a two for one they get that touchdown they're going to get the ball to start the second half so it was much needed but you know the story of the first half Mike W with boisey state was Ash and Genty he was everything we thought he was going to be and more as we take a look at the first half highlights great blocking you see that hole and you you see the contact balance I'll say that a lot with Ash and Genty stiff Farm here to finish off that run takes it to the house and that got his half started now a little stretch play again good blocking and then the spin the cut back the vision good blocking by the wide receivers downfield gets it in for the score and then a good bounce back here by Georgia Southern Jaylen white takes the toss lowers the shoulders bad snap though couldn't get the extra point but a good score nonetheless and then they bring the big Big Boys in up front defensive line blocking for jenty for Touchdown three and now touchdown four again breaks a tackle gets it in it was all Ashton jenty in that first half 344 total yards in the first frame for boisey State as well and Genty with a new career high four rushing touchdowns in a game and we still have the whole second half to go here so we'll see but again eagles with the ball to start the second half have a chance to cut it down to a one position game and you it's been a fun one so far here throughout the first 30 minutes yeah I think you know coming into this we thought this was a great week one matchup boisey State national recognized team comes across the country to play a really good Georgia Southern team out of the sun Bel which is an excellent comp a little bit Sun Bel versus Mountain West as well and it's lived up to it so far and again as you said just a big score by George gave that positive momentum for Klay hton in the locker room we'll see how they come out here in this [Music] DeAndre buan and his back deep and'll let it go over his head he did have a 100yd touchdown return last year and he told the coaches hey it was actually 102 you know but it well it goes down as 100 all right JC French report card on the Eagles quarterback from the first half started slow but listen it's the first game of the season uh got into a little bit of Rhythm and you see that bottom line though the nine carries for 33 yards they got some quarterback runs for him he picked up some big first downs and and made some nice throws there at the end especially for that touchdown so I think he kind of eased into that first half and finished strong what about in The Run game though he's actually their leading rusher today with nine carries for 33 yards and they wanted balance and by balance more running attacking got to get better up front Jaylen white starts in the back field who you just mentioned had that touchdown in the first frame and he gets the toss with some blocking in front and EES out a couple yards up to the 27 yd line Ahmed hassine with the tackle here's a look at the first half possessions for Georgia Southern yeah as I said slow start got going a little bit and a big finish for them and you know look at Jaylen white we talked to his coaches he's a player they want to get 20 25 touches a game to so see if they get him going here in the second half for airs it out sideline LV Buckley Shelton and it's knocked down and incomplete good defensive play there by Devon Banks the transfer out of Washington number 20 for the Broncos yeah so that's one thing Boise State wanted to sh up was their back end and so they are a very experienced defensive group they only had two portal guys one was Jeremiah Herby a corner we've seen made some plays and that other guy right there Devon Banks so two two additions to that back end I think will really help them this season 6 for 10 on third down is Georgia Southern a big one here to start the second half and it's a bad snap it goes through the hands of French he picks it up but he's just got to throw it away and we've got a flag down well it shouldn't be intentional grounding cuz he was out of the pocket and got the ball back to the line of stre I think you're going to get a late hit here personal foul roughing the passing number 15 defense five yd penalty 15 y penalty automatic first down well and how about that bailed out by the Boise State Defense they didn't need to do thaty that's the epitome of getting bailed out I mean he's just throwing this ball away and I tell you if you're a boisey State fan you're like that's not a penalty this is football but listen you give a shot like that the officials there it's a little late they're going to call it yeah they did on Jaden virgin Morgan there the sophomore defensive end and that's tough we'll see if maybe end up coming back to that potential play if Georgia Southern gets something on this drive and jayen white Powers his way for eight yards penalties today the Eagles are just one it's boisey state Rey to have six penalties for 65 yards and that one as you said just bailed them out and again football today is a little different folks than it used to be they're going to protect quarterbacks it's a point of emphasis and but it bailed him out that's a big time call [Applause] Dallas goes in motion keeper by FR and he's undercut for a loss by Devon Banks he's been in on a couple of plays here now in this second half it's a loss of three the thing I really like about the corners in the secondary in general for boys to say good in coverage but they'll come up and run support they're not afraid to hit and that was a nice tackle right there by Devon Banks 49 yd now faced with a third down once again third and four this time for the Eagles just before [Applause] Midfield French gets it out quickly and the catch is made by Derwin Burgess Jr for the first down yeah and I like the experience of Derwin Burgess because when he makes that cut he's at the sticks he knows where he needs to make the catch he goes down but he's at the yard line the gain it's first down that's like you're pton Manning and Marvin Harrison just get that slam four five yards that's all you need and they got it done French now sine again Burgess he's got it to the 15 yd line in front of the Von banks that time and the Eagles are in business you talk about that experience of der burges he uses his left hand to hold off the defensive back watch I don't if we'll see it here but he actually you know uses that left hand doesn't push off so it's not offensive pass interference but gains a little separation 31 y on the play right back to the outside here and it's jayen white and he breaks free for the moment gets to the 10 and that's five yards on first down Andrew Simpson on the tackle and if Andrew Simpson didn't hold on to that tackle I think Jaylen white scores down that right sideline it's good effort there by the running back to keep those legs moving that helmet face mask by the way looks like what I wore in like the 70s as a young kid you know Chuck he was a guy that looked just like that old San Diego Charger I believe you saw where the go H the re backs the goggles on underneath unique second and six here for Georgia Southern strong start already to the second half French she's keeping it for the touchdown touchdown J C [Applause] PCH to me successful right for the two for one we talked about in the first half but that to me is a result of getting that touchdown to end the first half cuz that gave him that positive momentum go in make some adjustments now I know the Boise State fans are going crazy right now cuz they got bailed out with a roughing the passer call but you just can't leave it to the officials right you can't get a late hit in that situation you can't hit the quarterback at all keeps their Drive alive and they take advantage of it and put it in for a touchdown they certainly do instead of boyy State getting the ball back and a two possession lead they get the 15yd personal foul penalty on the quarterback and JC French takes it himself for a score it is a fivepoint game here in Statesboro it's a five-point game here with Georgia Southern and JC French who ran in for the touchdown offensive coordinator Ryan appet said you know this guy his ability to not get worked up in certain scenarios is impressive it could be first and 10 or fourth and one with a game on the line you don't see anything different he's the same guy and he ends up scoring this touchdown re that puts him within five yeah before that hit two nice passes to Derwin burges 36 yards on those two receptions and burges now second all time in school history with 1,886 receiving yards very impressive after a little bit of a slow start in that first frame so now it's boyy State's chance to return they have not really seen the offensive side of the field for a while here and listen little stressed now right right come back halim all of a sudden you're only up five let's see how they can [Applause] [Music] answer cayen Chan calls for the fair Catch and we'll tell you about an awesome game that you can check out tonight with Texas A&M hosting Notre name how good is this going to be Mike Elco head coach at A&M up against Riley Leonard who he coached at Duke two years ago he saw some of the quotes about that it was crazy Elco goes it's interesting weird and not really something I want to do Leonard saying playing against coach Elco it's awesome yeah new offensive coordinator for Notre Dame too Mike Den Brock comes from LSU so there was a helmet communication although they have it's going to be very loud in College Station tonight yes it is game day did an awesome job there earlier today we watched the entire show was a fun atmosphere and it will be tonight Kyle Field first and 10 for boisey State jenty who has a career-high four touchdowns rushing is in the back field he gets the call he's hit and still gets about six yds on first down Latrell Bullard makes the tackle yeah very seldom do you see Ashton Genty go backwards he's always falling forward and see their first half possessions and yeah no shock you see the name Genty in four of those possessions it's impressive second down Eagles want to bring some pressure they do and they stop him dead in his tracks at the line of scrimmage no game going to be third and four on the way Isaac Walker was one of the first on the scene along with MJ strout yeah and that's what you got to do right you got to win at the line of scrimmage win at the point of attack and then get hats to Ashton Genty and that's what Georgia Southern did that [Applause] time two for five on third down today for the Broncos and defensive coordinate Brandon Bailey said we have to be better on third down I want to be about 66% stopping him they are only about 38% last year so they want to get better they got a chance right here crowd making some noise here the pass jenty has it he stretches and he's going to have the first down that's what he does well the incredible thing there is he gets hit he's going to be short but he has the balance to keep his knee off the ground watch he's going to slide down his knee doesn't hit oh he stays in he's able to dive forward to get it to the line to gain wow now his forearm hit elbow I was going to say the forearm this is down is going to be looked at so where where was the ball when that four is that the runner made the line of the game the previous play is under video reveal so that's what replay is going to do I got a good look at it there the when you the the hand and wrist is okay but the forearm or elbow when that hits you are down and now it's where the ball is and the ball was in his right hand so he's probably going to be short let's see here he slips he's down he's short he's short that's before he stretches the ball he's going to be shy of the first down to me short of the first down by about a half a yard I think he made it to about the 34 and a half that's a great job by them to take a look at that and you're absolutely right that left forearm down before the right arm with the ball stretches over the first down line from the booth I was watching knees I'm like all right knees are good and then we get a replay you're going to see this left forearm go down the ball is still on his hi there knee knee then his knee hits but at that point he dop forward but that left arm and elbows down so I think they're going to bring this back now just got to get the spot right I almost think even when the knee did hit did the ball even it doesn't matter it's that arm first so yep trenis Livingston are official today and here comes the call we should say there's collaborative replay so the replay official here makes a decision but it does go back to the video Center as well the sun Bel video Center for collaboration review the runner was short of the line of game his elbow was short of the line of game the ball will be placed at the 34 and2 yd line fourth down and you got to putt this ball right yeah yeah no yeah to me right now Mr Mo momentum is on the side of Georgia Southern you got to put this thing away okay so Isaac Walker on that tackle saves what would have been a first down from jenty and they did not do a great job right of tackling him in that first half so that's good for your confidence there like hey we stopped them but they are going to go for it here reeny so look out hey that's why uh the head coach Peter Danon gets paid the big bucks so here we go sire Gaines is in the back field he gets the hand off and he's going to be stopped Georgia Southern on fourth down they're going to take over inside of the boisey state 35 yd line I'm not sure about that call well I told you what I would have done I would have punted but I'm up here I'm not down there and just the momentum is gotten even more on the side of Georgia sou I mean look at the penetration to slow him up and then Devon Gilmore 15 gets there through the middle Gap and just a host of Georgia Southern Defenders and that's how you make tackles against a good running back and listen I and no offense to sire gains it's a true fresh I don't even know who might have even had a chance there because of the bull rush by the southern defense but what's jenty thinking on the sideline in that situation yeah I mean I think they went with a bigger back but as you said with that penetration that that play was Dead on Arrival Georgia Southern now has a chance to take the lead and the passes over thrown incomplete looking for David badinga and French was facing heavy pressure and Bingo was wide open on that wheel yes heavy pressure so it's a hard throw for JC French but if he could have even just underthrown that ball and let badinga come back and make that catch would have been a huge chunk play Georgia Southern has stopped boisey on two boy State on two fourth and ones today and does this one give them a chance to take the lead second time they're starting in boisey state territory as well French looking going deep and that is overthrown and incomplete and they want a flag they're not going to get it Marcus Sanders Jr was the intended target yeah that ball floated out of bounds it wasn't catchable so get a look here you see the pressure and you see how wide open banga was I mean he catches this forget chunk play he scores a touchdown but French was under big pressure and just could not get him the ball now let me say this to you do you think Georgia Southern is thinking four down territory here which is why they've gone for a couple a chunk plays well right now yeah they're in tweener land for sure it' be a long field goal from here got to get something French now to the outside the catch is made is he in yes Sam kenerson for the first time today and it's a gain of 16 and that's a matchup you want if your offensive coordinator Ryan appan Sam kennerson a quick slot receiver on a boundary safety Alexander tubar and what good concentration to make that catch Eagles moving quickly again French in trouble and he's going to get taken down nice job there by Jaden virgin Morgan on the tackle it's a loss of two but he protects the football right doesn't throw it up for grabs tries to get forward loses a couple go down as a sack by that boisey State Defense you're watching Modell kickoff week here today from Statesboro Georgia we've got a good one it was 28-9 boisey state was leading the Eagles have a chance to take the lead on this drive here in the third quarter snap French gets rid of it catch is made LV Buckley Shelton and he's pushed out of bounds immediately by am Maran McCoy for a gain of four so a big third down is coming up here and look the Eagles are perfect in the Red Zone today four for four with three touchdowns on the field and the other thing JC French has done when plays have broken down he's able to make plays with his feet right so something to watch for here if his uh intendent receiver is not open four receivers David badinga in the back field French guns it catch is made LV Buckley Shelton turns up field he's taken down the one Zion Washington saved the touchdown it's a 14 yd gain I like that play they go trips to the left solo on the right oneon-one LV Bunkley Shelton just a little Stop Route French puts it on him and it's first and goal for the [Applause] Eagles bringing in an extra offensive lineman here Johnny Brown thei is checked in Georgia Southern on the doorstep looking for their first lead of the day Bing is to The Back Field he gets the call no signal he stopped shy it'll be second and goal from just outside the goal line yeah tremendous penetration there by that Boise zate defensive line good push and it's a good call it looked like he was going to get in but he got tackled and turned and the ball never broke the plane it's a good job by the officiating crew now jayen white is in for Binga white helton's group and White's the 220 220lb back he's the guy I would want carrying the ball here if you're going to run it again going a goal it's white white touchdown Georgia Southern has the [Applause] lead wow when it was 28 to n if I would have told you hey guys we're going to be in the second half they're going to be winning 28 2928 and going for two you would have been like get out of here here again how important was that score before half at change the momentum for Georgia Southern and now they're winning this ball game Jaylen white with two touchdowns today I mean they've held him in check he's got eight carries for only 14 yards but those are two important touchdowns obviously they were one for one on two-point conversions last year Georgia Southern so now with a two-point conversion to try push this lead up to three and they wanted the left half and the ref reset the play clock for him so they don't have to rush here now on this two-point conversion white is to the left of French this is for two they blow it dead flag comes in yeah it's going to be a false start B start offense number 75 5yd penalty remain still go for two I know that's I know what you're thinking right you're asking me kick it now you want to get the point or not I'm thinking that and they are you're right they're yeah I'm with you in the third yeah to me I get it get the point go up by two you'd rather have the two-point conversion get get up by field goal but I get you they're you know coaches have a handful of plays called and designed specifically for two-point conversions you know I totally got it from in the normal circumstance now you're back now you're backed up so you don't have a specific two-point call and you're right because it's still early in this second half go ahead and kick it here I agree with you Mike so Gavin Stewart agree with Coach hton yeah right I'm not the one and it's good so what a job and what a response by The Eagles down 28-9 now they lead it 30- 28 [Applause] 6 minutes and 48 seconds to go in the third quarter and how about this Georgia Southern now leads boisey State 30 to 28 if you watch game day this morning the entire panel had place a state for the win today yeah Stanford Steve picked Georgia Southern as a as a super dog a super dog yes heing pretty good with that and listen I'm sure those kids saw that at the team Hotel before they got on the buses and came over here um so yeah little extra motivation got ourselves a ball game all right so how do they get back into this thing here again go back to the second quarter this was the touchdown before the half which was huge gave them momentum and they had a chance for a two for one they get the stop right the tackle and got reviewed then they go for it on fourth down does boyy say they get stopped Georgia Southern great field position and then they finish it off with a Jaylen white touchdown Georgia Southern has scored on five five of their last six possessions it's incredible and they have a two-point lead we've got a lot of time left in this game and let's see if boisey State can respond it's really been the Eagles that have had to have the response today now it's the Broncos turn madson's pass and there it is caught by cabl that's a nice catch across the 40 and that's a gain of 16 yeah nice dig W dig route against that zone coverage Manson puts it right on him and that's a nice play on first down that should that should loosen him up a little bit and give him some room to give it to Ashton gent but you have so much respect for him and obviously what he's already done in the first half of the four touchdowns you're right he should be able to get a few throws down field and they did just that on that last one pressure quick got two third and six now though so we'll see if this defense can step step up get another stop injury timeout we'll be [Applause] back all right there's Justin Myers getting a little help off the field for Georgia Southern tough loss there for the junior safety yeah got leg whipped so hopefully he's okay we big third down here though third and six boyy state J to the right of MX Madson Madson gets it out a first down catch is made nice job by Ben Ford to haul that one in his first Catch of the Day a newcomer this te and what a throw by Maddox Matson he had a you know he had pressure so he had to like do a sidearm sling he's able to change the angle of his arm put it on his receiver Ben Ford keep this drive alive and just you're going to see the pressure he scans the field my little sling little three quarter with a guy in his face gets it to Ford keeps the drive alive big play for boisey State another injured player here too and it's desan Davis and that cramping a little bit yeah that that's the elements right there like he had more of that here today yeah 92° well the the you know the training staff the the sports medicine staffs do a tremendous job with hydrating the guy these guys they know when you got to hydrate a day two days before well while we have a moment tell about our Sunday night one through four so you could be I'll just pick a conference you could be the ACC champion and be ranked 10th but if you win your conference Championship you automatically go to Fourth and so that's going to give some confusion to people but you're a power four team you automatically get one of those four spots if you win your championship sh we'll be talking about it all season long that's for sure we'll keep your posted on it here and it's first and 10 now for Boise State at the Georgia Southern 46 and jenty taken down after about 5 yards on that play once again just want to apologize for the technical difficulties a little bit of stuff going on here today and I know we got a great game going on so thanks for sticking with us here five minutes to go in the third I was going to say they've done a good job on jenty in the second half but they really haven't had time to give him the ball it's back to him and he Powers his way for a couple more this is uh it's pretty interesting you you look at some of the stuff with this guy in January Ada County in Idaho had a contest to name their snow plows for the year jent's name was the most voted for and a snowplow was named after him he just seems like he's kind of like that I think that's fitting absolutely but a very fast fast snowplow correct third and two for the Broncos to keep this drive alive CES in motion they throw to him but he's got it and let's see if the forward progress is enough for the first and it should be it will be clearly good call by by Dirk cutter offensive corter I like that you see everything bunched up with Georgia Southern you send CES in motion quick pass although he gets hit he's past the line to gain forward progress good call first and 10 now at the 35 yd [Applause] line sire gains is back in in the back field picks up some blocks and the pass is incomplete there was a little bit of contact over there The Far Side for Austin Bolt chance gamble was all over him no flags are down yeah looked like a lot of contact from up here let's get a look at it one-on-one chance gamble one of the transfers they bring in he's long yeah that's pass that's pass interference I they missed that one you got to throw that flag grab his jersey you know chance gamble says if you don't call it it's a pass break up so yeah they got away with one there and boyy State fans are don't yell at me guys I was pass interference they got got away with one a 10th play of the drive coming up here for the Broncos swing out past the gains gets a block sire gains first down and more inside the 25 of Georgia Southern and pushed out of bounds yeah outstanding blocking at the point of attack on the perimeter for Boise State and then you get it to sire gains you're young freshman little swing route great blocking right there beautiful and he turns it up picks up the first down that's a 12 y gain and they did a nice job of mixing him in and working him in into the offense here today back to jenty with a career-high four touchdowns today but all in the first half Madson throwing catch is made it's Cameron camper reaching out and making the gra for get another first down it's a gate of 15 yeah Georgia Southerns decid hey we're going to try to stop jenty and we're going to have one-on-one matchups and boy Z says all right we're going to go after you and nice catch by Cameron camper there well you talk about the response that Georgia Southern has had today how about the response on this drive right now for boisey state both teams are perfect in the Red Zone Broncos are two for two today with two touchdowns from the eight first and goal it's out to jenty jenty looking for his fifth touchdown today going to be a little shy and it was Marquez Watson Trent that brought him down gain of six yeah following this big offensive lineman sweep right good job by the big man it was Hall Schmidt out there in front I believe and you thought jenty was able to square those shoulders up and get in but a good job by Georgia Southern make that tackle but down to the one second and goal here yep from the two let's see if they give the jenty and make it easy they do jenty though is hit and he's going to be held up by Davon Gilmore jenty doesn't usually lose those one1 battles but Devon Gilmore is Al loone we've called his name on a bun is a 250 lb middle linebacker so that's just physics there guys that's physics Gilmore's going to win that one Eagles have clamped down it did look easy for jenty in that first half not so much so far here in the second half can they hold him here on Third and goal from the [Music] two timeout Georgia other Klay hton just ran like a 4540 down the sideline to the line judge to get that timeout they might have had too many guys on the field but they get the timeout and that guy right there Devon Gilmore if you if you notice we've called his name out a ton in the second half and you know we talked to defensive coor Brandon Bailey about him and they he wanted him to be aggressive hit the a gap just cause Havoc didn't really do it was a little tentative in the first half he's done it in the second half and he's made some big plays it was really just about settling down for Georgia Southern I mean you said it a bunch because they had fumbled the ball three times in that first half luckily they only lost one uh they were not sound on their Gap assignments as jenty has run for a 77 yard touchdown and a 26 but now settled in 14th play of the drive though here for boisey state trying to regain the lead on the doorstep J he's in this time and it's his fifth of the day he ties the school record with five touchdowns and the Broncos are back in front and to me that's just an attitude play you're at the one yard line you tell your offensive line let's go get this you bring three tight ends in there with Genty tremendous package that's a 13 Personnel you got two tight ends there we got another one lined up you give it inside to jenty good push and then that Vision just ease it slide back inside for the touchdown and now boyy state will go for two three for five on two-point conversions last year for this group this would make it a six-point lead Madson to the endzone it is caught count it Cameron camper and they get the two-point conversion in the back line of the endzone when you have a big receiver like that 63 64 put it up high let him go up make the catch toe tap and talked about an answer right outstanding answer by boisey state excellent to know where you are though to get that one foot down right Rey yeah you got to have that awareness in the back of the end zone but I like how Matson put it up high and let camper go up and get it maintains control of the catch to the ground two-point conversion scored 3630 you want to be a great team boyy State you need to answer on the road you flown across country to play this game that was an answer right there we got ourselves one heck of a week one ball game and we thought we would we just said it most rushing touchdowns in the game jenty adds his name to the list tying the school record 107 to go in the third last year he had 14 rushing touchdowns all season and he had five receiving what a way to start the 2024 campaign here today yeah with a bang [Applause] Thomas kicks off touch back again here for the Eagles working with 107 to go in the third quarter and they've been very effective you know since trailing 28- n in this game what do you think we're expecting here on this sequence same thing I I they're trying to get that good mixture of run pass right JC French has completed a few passes they've gotten Derwin burges going like to see Jaylen white going or whatever running back they decide to go with looks like it's going to be OJ Arnold here he's their speed their home run hitter you know they try to you know would love to get him the ball in space cuz he's the type of guy that can take it you know 75 yards to the [Music] house it's a reverse here Cobbs got it now danlan cob and he's Off to the Races gets across the 45 and to Midfield after taking it from OJ Arnold nice looking play there Jeremiah Irby makes the tackle yeah look at this thing full speed little reverse nice job by cob to set up this block right here big offense of Lyman Bryson Broadway out in front in a big chunk play to start this possession Brian appan offensive quarter pulling them all out of the bag week one we've seen a lot today yep yeah that one worked well to the tune of 24 yds we've got 30 seconds and teing left in the third French taking a shot over the middle bges he has it Darwin Buress J heads up yeah he's oneon-one with the corner amarian McCoy there's no safety in the middle of field JC French knows that and leads him to the middle of the field perfectly and they're going to go fast but not fast enough to beat the quarter the third quarter ends with a bang yes it does and Georgia Southern we'll have first down and goal from the three when we come back the strike by JC French Dern Burgess 48 yards first and goal for Georgia Southern when we come back you're watching Modello kickoff week we welcome you to the fourth quarter here today from Georgia Southern Statesboro Georgia and what a game we have 3630 boisey State leads for the time being it is first and goal for the Eagles from the three to start the fourth quarter OJ Arnold's in the backfield French keeps it he's going to be taken down Jeremiah Irby on the tackle for boisey State no game yeah look like they wanted to go speed option to the boundary but dropped the snap wisely picks it up and just gets forward gets back to the line of scrimmage second down and goal here Personnel change Bur just is back in had that big reception to get him down to this point 46 yd to the three yd line he's at the top of the screen Arnolds in the back field second and goal Eagles keeper again frch and again same result taken down Irby is there what a job by number six yeah we've talked about irvy in run support today he's up there and for a second he's here crowd erupting it's a Zone Reed French pulls it you think he's going to get around the corner and ir's there to make the tackle transfer from Cal members of the program said he could really be the surprise potential player of the Mountain West this year and really good plays in the last couple N9 for 13 on third down here for Georgia Southern today pretty good percentage three yds for the score Arnold stays in the back field to the right of French looking to the end zone it's caught it's a touchdown it's Bo Johnson on the reception for the score we are tied at [Applause] [Applause] 36 and you see Johnson he's just in that Flex position just goes over six you saw the running back OJ Arnold go to the flat he kind of Drew the attention of that Boise State Defenders there Johnson just posts up gets over the goal line French puts it on him and we got ourselves one heck of a ball game Gavin Stewart's extra point is put the Eagles in front 37 of 36 Bo Johnson on his first Catch of the Day and it's for a three- yd touchdown and the Eagles are back in front hang on tight everyone 1330 to go three yard touchdown catch by the senior tight end Bo Johnson for Georgia Southern in his first Catch of the Day has put the Eagles back in front he only had three catches all of last year for 25 yards played in 11 games it's a sixth year for him and that was a big one and what a game we have today and he does a lot of dirty work he's in there he's blocking running routes and that time nice little Stop Route French puts it on him big time [Applause] touchdown tomorrow night on ABC and Modello Vegas kickoff Classic on ESPN plus as well of course our Stellar Day Labor Day weekend of college football continues number 23 USC number 13 LSU coverage begins at 7:30 East we talked about the two quarterbacks having to step in for some of the greats there Caleb Williams has departed Jaylen Daniels has departed it's Miller moss and Garrett NM going at each other tomorrow it's an uh it's an SEC Big 10 Showdown tomorrow night sounds a little weird saying that but it is the great weekend of college football rolls on and we've got a stellar one here 13 and a half to play in The Game Boy state back on offense Ashton JT uhoh breaks free has a player tracking him down it's TJ Smith can he get to him J touchdown get out of town 75 yards a new school record six touchdowns today it's a pretty good answer he is still down here and he's got to just be cramping cuz he was giving everything he can so we talked about the big linebacker Devon Gilmore he's just hitting the a gap he crushes the a gap jenty pushes sees that has the vision to slide to the left he does and just gives everything he has down this left sideline to get in he Dives right here clearly a touchdown good call and you know you don't want to speculate but it's hot the way they're stretching his leg out got to believe he's cramping the way they're rubbing him I'm a former running back never really had a cramping problem like that I was more of a mutter when I ran well if if I had rushed for a 77 yd 26 yd 75 yd touchdown today and a new school record I'd be cramping up too unbelievable that ties the Mountain West record to by the way of six rushing touchdowns in a game now sitting up and getting some help here boy what's yeah let's hope that's all it is but look at these numbers this is ridiculous 19 carries 249 yards and six touchdowns listen when most people run 249 yards they lay down and rest anyway so we'll give them the benefit of the doubt the crowd reacting to thinking that he lost the ball before he crossed the goal line we feel like he did Stretch over and have possession then it came loose I mean they're obviously looking at it yeah let's look at it again's it I feel like he has yeah he starts to lose it listen I say this analogy all the time Mike the front of the line the very front of the line okay picture the front of the line a sheet of water that goes to Infinity okay if the nose of the football touches the front of that line and puts a ripple in it you have broken the plane that's a touchdown to me the ball clearly broke the plane before he lost control of it and replay looked at it just cuz he doesn't stop they're looking at it but he did lose control but the plane was broken and it really wasn't close in my estimation no and the touchdown is good and now they're going to go for two again now to try to make it a seven-point game gains to The Back Field Madson shotgun formation here they converted the last two-point conversion try now it's Z it's intercepted and Marquez Watson Trent picks it off so they don't get the two this time and it stays a five-point game yeah looked like he had s gains in the flat if he would have went to him immediately he didn't he comes off him he goes to the back they get the touchdown though nonetheless 249 rushing yards by Ashton jenty third third most in school history six touchdowns is the most we'll be back time for today's best moment brought to you by AT&T 5G but we should put an S on the end of moment cuz it's plural it's moments and they're all from as Genty with six count him six touchdown runs today he's been electric everything we thought he would be and More contact balance spinning stiff arms lower the shoulder you name it he's done it today he's been outstanding and here's number six as we said it's a school record it ties the Mountain West record for touchdowns rushing in a game in the 249 rushing yards third most in school history and that's right the Heisman post that's from his first touchdown today as if he knew that something was brewing here for this 2024 season and I would say he's certainly a candidate for that yeah you know they got the video game out to promote him well he's got video game like numbers today he does it's it's really perfect in their promotion for him to get the Heisman be Canon on the return here for Georgia ser and he's undercut at the 17 yd line all right so the Eagles first three drives today two punts three fumbles one lost one field goal what have they done since yeah a very slow start but since then how about seven drives five touch sounds a field goal and one punt so they've actually really turned it on here and uh they look good offensively now and players are starting to get involved right it just took a little bit of time you had dalen Cobb Derwin Burgess who made some nice receptions today LV buley Shon Bo John touch Sam kenerson on a big catch I believe earlier Jaylen white OJ Arnold both getting involved so you love it when you can spread it around like that yep Josh Dallas Tyler from the tight end this is a pretty good group here so what do they have now on this SE sequence on First and 10 wh's in the back field it's a fake to him and the pass over the middle is caught by Marcus Sanders Jr yeah let's not forget about him either he's a little bit of a sleeper for this team too he's made some nice receptions today they've got some nice one-on-one battles on the outside JC French has identified him and put the ball on his receivers it's a gain of 13 and a first down play fake on the slant it's Bo Johnson on his second catch today the first one was a three-yard touchdown in the last sequence and he's still going yeah that's a that's a Shifty little play call I like that they fake the bubble screen to 25 Jaylen White and the receiver looks like he's going to block Bo Johnson then he just kind of slides out in the pattern and French puts it on him for a nice you know seven yard gain on first down feel like when your Corners are playing off a little bit like that you got opportunities to do that all day [Applause] head off to White going to be shy of the first down but it's going to bring up a third and one from the 40 Andrew Simpson on the [Music] [Applause] tackle and you see Ryan applin offensive Corner talking to JC French cuz he can till that play clock hits 15 the headset communication out of the Season here comes some pressure from the Broncos here they bring it Sanders is in motion keeper by FR he's got the first down and more that's nice that's a gain of six you know how many times you see a quarterback on a quarterback sneak just put his head down not really look and go forward and get stuffed he sees where the soft spot is slides all the way out by the right tackle turns it up and picks up the first down Michael Callahan is down to a knee for Boise State sixe player and how about this note I know ex he was accepted to all eight Ivy League schools so you're saying he's smart that's just very impressive obviously Callahan a senior from yal Linda California they're attending to him French today for Southern their leading rusher 15 carries 45 yds and a touchdown I mean you talked about it earlier now you're starting to see that dual threat ability and this could be really good for the Eagles this season yeah and we talked about it they didn't really intend on using him specifically in the Run game with Zone Reed quarterback power um but they said they can do it with him and he is athletic enough and so I think this game dictated that hey he's got to make plays with his feet and he's done it nicely especially in the second half and of Roswell Georgia the transfer to Memphis they said he was very efficient in that pre-season had basically just one interception per 154 throws that's what they looked at yeah and that's why he got the job David Dallas and Dexter Williams are the backup QBs they like the depth though they have in that quarterback room moving forward it's another revers here de AO Buchanan after the head up from Cobb and Buchanan nice job to pick up 11 yards and a first down for the Eagles hey you feel bad big right tackle Bryson Broadway playing his taop he's downfield blocking I think he actually tripped up Buchanan but you can't fault him he's downfield he's blocking and they're throwing everything at this boyy State Defense with it with this game plan well you talked about some of these exotic play calls from offense accordin to Ryan appan and it takes time to develop and set them up right and now they're starting to put him out there 10 and 1 half to go here in the contest French pressure hit as he throws it's up for grabs and it's knocked down and incomplete Sanders was the target but Zion Washington knocked it down for the Broncos boy fren took a hit well and that's one where boy that one could have been intercepted I think if ran Washington locates that ball earlier he intercepts it but yeah I mean he just couldn't get into the ball you see Rodney Robinson number four the nickel comes on a blitz hits him low there's pressure at top the ball kind of flutters and again lucky for JC French that Washington didn't locate that ball French try to get it to Johnson and it'll be third down and 10 here and they had that that was a good play call that was a middle screen to Bo Johns at the offensive lineman out front the one thing I would say for JC French on those little slip screens maybe take just a little bit off the throw he's done that a couple times today and I just think it got on Bo Johnson quicker than he thought cuz that could have been a big [Music] play Third and 10 they're 11 of 15 on third down today 73% he'll take that they'd love it to be more and convert here flag Char's going to be sacked hit the ball is loose and it goes out of bounds Simpson knocked it away he's done that today that's twice now Andrew Simpson getting in there to strip the ball off of JC French yeah and luckily for Georgia Southern it goes out of bounds because that was close to getting recovered and they'll punt it away haven't had a lot of punts today especially in this second half just great job by Simpson you you get from behind you give that big hack down knock that ball out you get a strip sack there for Andrew Simpson goes out of bounds and Georgia Southern will pump this away first punt this half for either team it's Alex Smith and a fair catch is going to be called for and made by Ces and we will step aside 942 to go in this one five-point lead boisey state ESPN college football is brought to you by McDonald's and Progressive Insurance protect the stuff you love with renters insurance visit progressive.com we're back here 42-37 Boise State leads it by five they got the ball back on offense yeah and you see the scoring by quarter has been an exciting game other than that slow start from Georgia Southern we talked about how they've come on they were down 20 8 to9 in this game madson's pass is caught by camper first down up to the 35 yd line yeah and they've run that play before it's just too easy that's just a deep dig route by camper play action which holds the linebackers down then it's one-on-one dig route camper runs a nice route on Dorian Smith the corner it's just pitch and catch Madson to camper that's a gain of 21 here pretty darn good numbers today fth 55 plays 539 yds still have 905 to go in the game geny big part of that with his 249 and adding to it on this [Applause] run yeah he just the use of the stiff arm I love it doesn't get used enough Tyrell Jackson to safety comes up see you balls in the proper arm which allows him to hit that stiff arm turns the corner he says listen man I'm going for three bills today all right he's getting there yeah he is that's another 18 yd run there he's tired and right rightfully so it puts him to 267 sire gains is in the Freshman true freshman carries he had a really nice debut in a boisey State Broncos uniform and again the tight ends for boisey stay plock exceptionally well Matt louder that time com a little kickout block sire gain comes in behind him go off tackle a nice eight- yd pickup on first down Genty as you saw the numbers 267 four receiving yards so 271 total today that he's accounted for when you rush for that much yeah don't worry about catching it second and short he's out now right now as gains is staying in gains has the first Powers his way inside the 30 keeps going inside the 10 touchdown sire gains 38 yards for the true freshman it's the same play they just ran to the right where Matt Lauder had the kickout block same play they run it to the left they run it to the field side this time louder's going to lead block again right here but this time he's able to turn up and and kind of a hook block cuz there's no one to kick out does a tremendous job getting up field you saw Roger carry on 62 he was able to hook block the Right Guard and then sire gain 17 years old first career touchdown it's a good looking play I mean that's how you draw it up at the office right you know and I mean you saw it you just said in Lauder he was kind of looking back like did I miss anybody and I didn't know and he went down field and just helped him get that so normally Lauder would kick out games would come up in front but there was no one there Roger Kion pulled as well 62 he was able to get the block louer rightfully just went up field cire gains follows him we've had answer to answer to answer to answer today I mean well he's going to remember that his first rushing touchdown of his college career and he has looked really really good I mean you think as good as Genty is and this maybe the last year for him at the college level it's like well we got the guy waiting in the wings right here yeah and he's a true freshman 17 years old the fourth youngest player in all of FBS here it is again yeah let's take a look at it again this an old counter tray see the blocking and then the the the setup there by sire gains I love too he kind of went in to his tight end louder and kind of directed him in the back where to block and then he was able to explode off it and get into the end zone you talk about a 17-year-old two freshman he's 6' 210 he he doesn't have the body of a 17-year- old he's a man and the offensive line has been out standing too we cannot forget about that I mean boy state has had five rushes for 20 plus yards today and four of those five have gone for touchdowns yanon for the return here spinning to the 25 we're going to cap off our stellar Day weekend of college football on Monday night on ESPN BC is on the road at Florida State coverage begins at 7:30 Eastern there Florida State they need that obviously the three-point loss of Georgia Tech and Ireland to start things off so I'm curious to see how Florida State plays up front CU they got beat up front by Georgia Tech in DJ OU he's got to be more accurate down the field Got a Feeling Michael will stretched the field vertically which they really didn't do in Ireland but it's a it's a must- win for Florida State well with the 12 team college football playoff right now yeah you got a little bit more but if you lose that you're your own to conference that's why I said if you're Florida State you got to win this right that was the case I guess after the Georgia Tech loss but you're right now it's a little more dire need again you can't start 0 two Arnold in the back field here for Georgia Southern on this set first and 10 from the 25 deep ball is there a flag no DAV and cob the intended target Target well you know I'm surprised cuz I thought Ty Benfield had hands on him and turned the Midway through the route right fully expected a flag to be thrown let's take a look he's in the slot makes the move there goes to hands yeah you know he got him off quick he got him off quick we've seen that thrown before cuz he impeded him the uh official felt not enough French dumps it off it's incomplete looking for Arnold it's going to be third and 10 they got a score in this drive yes yeah and that was the right play call I mean if Arnold catches that he may still be running I mean those are the plays that you got to make plays when you get an opportunity it's on his fingertips goes incomplete now you're third and 10 I mean it's going to make it tough it's a two possession game here two possessions with 12 points two touchdowns this is big third and 10 here comes the pressure French gets rid of it and it's incomplete it was Josh Dallas working against Zion Washington and France did not have a lot of time he had to hoist it up and now you got fourth and 10 yeah throws it up Dallas goes up tries to High Point but the defensive back Zion Washington's right there step for step and yeah Mike they're going to they're going to go for it here so they all intents of purposes you almost feel like this is ball game if they don't get this yeah I feel I think they must feel like hey defensively were a little probably tired at this point more down yeah this might be their best opportunity fourth and 10 French in complete wanted Derwin Burgess and that hurts for the Eagles as Boise State's going to take over at the 25 yd line of Georgia Southern with a 12-point lead and 75 to play in the game yeah I saw happy head coach Spencer Danielson there and Eric shander defensive coordin he's in the Box up here got to be happy with the way his defense has responded in certain situations today for sure I mean 86 total points to the board today between these two teams but yeah defensively both are going to go back and say hey yeah we can't give up these big big plays game changers but also in today's college football points are going to be scored and you got to get stops at opportune times and that was one there oh watch out what a hit as gigs had it and it was Davon rhods that laid the lumber on that one yeah and now you're just selling out right he's hits his defensive end spot look at that just shoots out of a cannon the offensive lineman pulls to try to block him but you know he's in a four-point stance he just shoots right out there and that's what you needed to push him back here it's second and 15 from the 30 Madson over the middle there's a lot of contact there the pass incomplete and no flags are down he wanted camper oh and here it comes as gamble was tied up with him yeah I was about to say I guess they're letting him play on both sides and I wonder if it might be offensive pass interference here on camper we'll see take take a look at here left side of the screen hands all over him right there he's riding them and know that that's got to be defensive Pi passing defense offense from the previous spot play second so it looks like he got interfered with first from what I looked at and then towards the end because he got pulled so listen hey that's the call so we've seen some calls today and but you need you need breaks to go your way too and Georgia Southern will uh clearly take that I'm going to credit our spotter Dave Kelly on that one he saw that one great stuff Dave he done a great job today along with alen thriffiley JR a statistician up here in the booth it's been a lot of fun here for this game sure has as jenty with that single game School record the six rushing touchdowns first player in the last 20 Seasons with six rushing touch in a season opener I mean think about that yeah the way to come on to the scene to begin a new football campaign and listen if you're Spencer danelson you want him sitting right there for the last 6 minutes and 34 seconds you do not want to have to put him back in and they trust young sire games we just saw his first career touchdown but now we're uh we're second and we're in south Georgia so country mile would be uh appropriate 30 second and 30 is my math right yeah first down marker is at the 15 yeah so it's to stay in the game I mean this exactly what you needed if you're Georgia Southern you got the tfl then you get the offensive pass interference and they boyy States backed up yeah this is not over yet 634 there's still a lot of time gains has it got to make a play here though and gains takes it again and he fumbles the football it's loose georgees Southern chance gamble stripped it let's see did they get it back boisey state has recovered it Austin Bolt wow listen Georgia Southern gives up another big run you just can't do that but they don't give up on the play gets punched out here at the end the young running back needs to learn they're going to come from behind chance gamble strips it but Austin Bol wide receivers there jumps on it and you talk about it all going the Eagles way well that one has certainly went boisey State's way with third and two now and they can really put the hurt on here if they pick up this first [Applause] down Madson pressure in his face he dumps it off kains has it and S kains has another touchdown 17 yards and that one may seal it yeah third and three there you thought okay they probably going to run it with the big back they don't but they slide him out into the flat good job by Maddox Matson roll to the right he's going to have a little pressure puts it on the money to gains turns up and in for the score well it goes without saying that teams are going to have have a little bit of a problem with this running back combination for this boisey State Broncos team with sire gains a true freshman the Junior and Ashton Genty look out and this is exactly what they wanted to start off this campaign with this kind of effort they've thrown up 56 points and their's second half drives after a turnover on Downs Rey touchdown touchdown touchdown touchdown running backs have been incredible especially Ashton Genty everything we thought he was going to be in more I can't credit the offensive line of boy stated up and those tight ends been just tremendous tonight up front and then talk about Maddox Matson won the job people were surprised he won the job he's just 21 of 30 for 272 yards in a TD today as well yeah leading this offense so 372 yards on the ground today and they were a top 10 rushing offense last year sixth with 214 yds a game and what a way to start here [Applause] [Music] today kick off out of bounds and be better field position to start here for Georgia Southern but you're in a tough spot here now down 19 542 to go never makes coaches happy when kickers kick it out of bounds like that you're just giving away free yardage overall today let's uh let's get your assessment let's start with uh Georg of Southern you know I mean they were down 289 early slow start you love their Moxy they needed a score at the end of the half they got it they come out start the second half get the score momentum back in this game have played their tails off on both offense and defense I mean they've played really hard today again boys to say this is a really good team right again most experts quote unquote experts have picked them to make the college football playf win the Mountain West pass gets out to White and nothing doing there I mean Georgia Southern took the lead in this game 30-28 but since then boisey state has outscored them 28-7 to now have this 19-point lead and you see big Sheldon Newton 320 lb nose guard and this is the time of game and I mean it's hot it's humid we're getting towards the end and guys are just worn down cuz they're playing their tails off so see big Sheldon holding that left calf it's a big left calf too but listen proud of both these teams have played hard you know now if your Boise State 531 left you give the underneath stuff to Georgia Southern you just come up and make tackles let that clock run get out of here with a hard fought win get home and prepare for one of the best teams in the nation in Oregon but there's still 531 left you got to finish this thing off that's right State they got Oregon next week and then Georgia Southern is at Nevada for week two but yeah I mean with this offense and uh you know there is some incredible defensive players on this yeah Broncos team they got to show up a couple things of course it's week one listen we say it all the time it sounds cliche but it's true the biggest um jumps that teams make is from week one week two okay now you look at this and you've said with some of the competition on this schedule a tough schedule yeah yeah but if they do really well and potentially they win their conference and they become that highest look and the committee is going to really put an emphasis on strength of schedule I mean they start the season they fly across the country to play this game then you play Oregon yep you play Oregon State this year Washington State as well you know so three power programs you're not shying way and then of course you got to go through a very good Mountain West Conference so it's a tough schedule for boyon state but I think they're up to it numbers wise we said 372 rushing yards for Boise State 376 is the total yards that Georgia Southern has in the entire game just crazy 644 total for the Broncos as French keeps it to the sideline there is a flag back at the 31 yd line yeah it looks like the center 57 Chandler strong Mikey call with a hold we'll see what the call is but if I was a bet man would think that's what it is but we'll see they're talking about it holding offense number 57 10y penalty from the previous spot replay second down all right so boisey State assessing what they did here today with the talent that they have and then going to next week what would you say so offensively good right they'll clean some stuff up defensively I know uh you know they they had him where they wanted they let him back in the game to take the lead so Eric shando defensive quarter clean stle again you're going to make the basic rooms week one to week two but if you're Spencer Daniel and you're really happy that you were winning you gave up the lead but then you fought back right second down and long pass dumped off to White and pushed out about the 35 yd line also want to give a little bit of credit to special teams first for boyy state and their special teams coordinator Stacy Collins they got two of the best in terms of James Ferguson Reynolds they're punter they have to see him a lot today but he was number one of the nation last year then Jonah doas their great kicker so that's part of the team too AB me and that's going to be big moving forward this year to know you've got two really strong confident people in those positions and then a lot of credit to Turner West as as well two special teams coordinator for Georgia Southern had a nice conversation with both of those guys this week and you forget about how much that is a part of football that you got to have those positions shed up there's no doubt about it you want to be an elite team you want to make the college football playoff you need elite special teams good kicking and punting there's no doubt Josh Dallas with a catch and a first down for Georgia Southern to the 45 clock coming up on 4 minutes to go on this one [Applause] French tries to get out of it there a flag down he's taken down from behind by [Music] Simpson saw some nice things at a fren though today yeah know absolutely made some plays with his feet made some nice throws he was 26 of 44 holding offense number 62 10yd penalty from the previous spot replay first down time out 276 yds through the air for French we need two touchdowns and he had 37 on the ground including a touchdown so yeah I just want to give a lot of credit to him he's done some nice things and you know we talked about Ahmad hassanin and he wanted a sack right there got held by Don Boyd never makes guys happy they get held can't get a sack but gets a holding call [Music] timeout big thanks to our producer today scooter Scott Snider along with Mike Miller our director John sard our technical director with Julia zot tuck CER Warner man Chris pavic a lot of great people on this crew audio today John McCoy Joseph Herman Scott Williams Victor Wilder our video Eric fos in replay with Tracy cook Eric's been doing this for almost 50 years pretty impressive to say the least we talked about alen thriffiley Jr statistician Dave Kelly or Spotter and Hunter Mosley on stage here none of those people are playing hookie from another job cuz you just got them in trouble but in all seriousness they've done a great job it's been a great crew love to get week one off to a gr start like we've had and a great game to boot French going deep and the catch is made DeAndre Buchanan now what are they saying here yeah they're saying incomplete ball hit the ground so we'll get a look at it here he's in the slot right there he's Buchanan locates the ball oh it was Bobble but he second down here to hit the ground see he's saying it hit his body cuz he was adamant that he caught the ball now the field judge saw it bounced up hopefully he's not guessing because he believes when it it was on his body and went up and he caught it now again does replay have a view that's indisputable that shows and this is going to be our best look here watch field was an incomplete pass the previous play is under video review time out he got that's a catch that ball not hit the ground I mean if field jge saw it bounced up yeah that's I'm going to say he assumed it hit the ground you never want to assume we all know that you know the other angle I think was the best because it it showed that the ball never hit the ground and look at the concentration be by DeAndre Buchanan and you listen usually when a player gets up and he's emphatic that he caught the ball he he caught it right we we get some good shots right here on this and and look I don't I don't see the ball hitting the ground oh it clearly doesn't that's the best shot right there great job folks and and camera work perfect spot on exactly and while we have that opportunity big thanks to our camera crew because those are some amazing shots Dan Johnson today Frankie Reeves Jeffrey barley Scott meley Trevor buts and Steven Barry good work guys yeah that last shot was the money shot I mean clearly saw the ball never hit they'll overturn this to a catch and this will be a big play for Georgia Southern and 342 left and they'll be on the line of scrimmage ready to go we had a lot in this game week one's good for us got a lot out we have a lot of work we have a game of the weekend going here for a while all right I mean this is high intensity and back and forth after the video review the receiver caught the ball at the 31 yd line first and 10 Georgia Southern there's a lot of talented white outs and tight ends on this Georgia Southern team I mean they have involved a lot of people in this game today I mean you know Klay hton and Ryan appan the OC they they've got they've got a good group here this is a tough team that they're playing so they looking for big things potentially the Eagles this year too some belts a good conference they're going to compete they're going to play their tails off there's no doubt and they still are here in this game and that says a lot too 34 yd gain with 342 to go they've got one timeout remaining white in the back Field Four receiver set White's got it nice moves here jayen white gets a block on the edge Burgess on the uh nice block from the wide receiver and he goes out of bounds a first down they're going to Mark him out at the 13 yd line it's a gate of 18 and Jaylen white you See's got that c one of the captains talked about it earlier wanted to get him 25 touches haven't been able to do that today but that was a nice run there and he's a player this season he's going to get a lot of work for Georgia Southern Red Zone for the Eagles today six for six you see the numbers boisey stay four for four that pass incomplete for [Music] Buchanan so under three minutes to go now in the contest [Music] [Applause] French losts it up End Zone nothing there looking for Cobb Zion Washington defending yeah we called Zion Washington's name out a bunch day yes very good coverage by Washington he's come up and run support as [Applause] well you know interesting you know Andrew Simpson uh the linebacker wears the communication on defense m if it's not him it would be Alexander tuer but if the third guy Zion Washington the field safy would put it on so it's interesting talking to the coaches about who they would talk to French on third down rolling away from pressure throwing on him run across his body cob no and the ball is out of bounds incomplete Ronnie Robinson almost had the interception it's going to be fourth and 10 yeah excellent break on the ball by Rodney Robinson nice jot by French to give dalen Cobb a chance Robinson breaks on it just can't make the interception but he breaks the play up so 244 to play in the contest fourth and 10 from the 13 dallis goes in motion low snap for French gets rid of it over the middle it's caught and it's a first down by Buchanan inside of the 2yd line they're going to spot it at the one oh what a play need to get to the two makes the catch first and goal [Music] and it's a 12yd gain OJ Arnold in the back field the clock ticking down 222 French and to the back of the end zone Dallas out of bounds with a catch but did not get the foot in wow he made the catch but that foot was out and actually you see the hat off for the back he went out of bounds first right R yep yep just nipped it yeah and then couldn't come in but you see the Hat come off incomplete pass remember you got the two-minute timeout yeah but you know Georgia Southern only has one timeout left so but you got to score here you got to put this score [Applause] [Music] in the previous play was an incomplete pass is under video review okay we can look to see whether his foot really went out right so the Hat yeah the Hat came off from the back judge we'll see hey we've had a ton of reviews today take a look at it cuz he did catch the ball you're right now remember if you're forced out so the hands on him there does that yeah he doesn't go right there I believe left foot that's the official sees that right there is what I believe hard to tell and I don't think you know I don't think he was forced out so to me if he doesn't step out a good a touchdown he's not out there yeah that that was at the end so yeah I he got that right foot in no at at the end of the catch he caught it and got a foot in so if they rule he didn't step out and the hat was thrown off by the back judge was incorrect that's a touchdown we just have to see that angle a little bit sooner to see if that foot did step out yeah Klay hon thinks it's a touchdown they're looking at it the big board here in the stadium let's get another look at it again give you the best we can so yeah I don't think he's pushed there so does he go out on his own you know does so is his toe up if it is he's not out and is if his toe's up there so the back judge who's right there under the goal post he's got the best look and you're going to see a hat fall off here that signifies to us that he's saying the receiver stepped out of bounds yeah it's the back end of the play we don't really know in the beginning but the catch was good the catch was good and I just don't think there enough there yeah r on the field it stands incomplete pass and there just wasn't enough there for replay to overturn [Applause] that this note here I mean it's it's tough because Boise state has so much Firepower this the most points that Georgia Southern's given up at home since joining FBS in 2014 I mean not to put anything on tough they're not going to be happy with Clay hell and the defensive uh coordinator Brandon Bailey they gave up too many big plays too many explosive plays right let's we'll come back to that in a second here it's second down and goal it's white he goes in for the touchdown so jayen white scores with 204 [Applause] remaining it's a 13-point [Applause] game to go for two yeah they're going to go for two here yep try to get it to 11 which obviously then would still be a two-score game but at least it's a touchdown two-point conversion in a field goal we're going to see we're going to going to see an outside kick here in week one as well Mich a little bit of everything today if you're going to have a four plus hour game we one you better have everything and you want it to be a good game I think these guys are tired four hours of football at 92 degrees here's French to a two-point conversion try he's in what an effort by this guy today though seriously the sophomore from Roswell Georgia two touchdown passes one rushing gets this two-point conversion you don't think they're battling to the end here oh no they fought their tails off that that's one thing both these head coaches they're going to look at look at the tape and in meetings I mean they both their teams played hard did and you love that there's no give up in any of these teams um it's been a good game exciting game fun game tell you who was watching that last touch with Stanford Steve that's right pick Georgia Southern for his super doog today think it's right around that number he might be watching this game this a good game a lot of people are probably watching this game well they're within it now but it's an 11-point game with 204 to play but so it's interesting here so get the onside kick it's going to take more than 4 seconds but I was going to say if it didn't you're going to get the stoppage with the two-minute timeout but so back to your point m go about the big plays because Boise state is going to score okay they got too much fir but they gave up the 77 and the 75 yd touchdown run to jenty that just can't happen can't do it so if if you take those off the board I know that's you know Monday Morning Quarterback here they could be still winning this game and the one was a oneplay possession remember they kick off they got all the momentum and jenty Go 75 yards you just you can't do that it's a back breaker they find a way to clean something like that up and I know they're up against an amazing back with a really good offensive line too but here's the onside kick got to go 10 and it's going to be recovered by boisey state yeah it it never went 10 but but of course the receiving team can go get it at any time and I believe that was Ty Benfield right got his feet set was good and recovers it what do you think on these right if you're the offensive team like you want to kind of go after it right to get I mean if because if you let it 10 then it's anybody opportunity yeah exactly you touch it they can pick it up I I think Benfield played that perfectly right it wasn't a crazy you know it's the
