back to first you're watching the to love what you have seen if you're a fan the vanderville commodor their first conference sellout here since 2017 North Zone has been renovated the basketball facility constructed and in the process of being completed towards our left more Renovations underway here in Nashville extending into the rest of this season back now live [Music] J screen so you see him dropping a littleit you see the running back want to play deep to so be a little deeper to try that not be caught and you canally to your running backo H throwing the the field to start this third quarter drones again there's the oh my incom oh my God that's so close the that was the fast from drones and it's incomplete beow Arms soau by yes it was was a I love it but still those are you got go go go go yes there we [Music] go touchdown touchdown Hokies toon coule yard touchdown R for lanbur VA about 400 miles to the north and to the east our location here in Music City but all of a Lane down by a [Music] score coming back from behind a promise is a trust not to be broken we spoken with a note you know I got your back right we're seal with a pinky in 1922 a group of soldiers launched USAA with a promise to take care of their own and after 100 years we're still taking care of the military community and their families that's our mission always it's Toyota's National Sales Event Swip into to end of summer fun with an exciting new TOA whether you're padd boarding in a RAV mountain biking in a Tacoma or tubing with your best friends in a Camry oh whoops I pa we're back after a score from the Rolling to begin our second and the rush were there play action was there felt like a punchless first half led to some excitement finally and production of the second and this what you would have hoped to see to start the game the TOs J Lane and 54 touchs a season ago for Kyle low Roy Taylor Davis out that two touchdown lead at the break and Diego Pavia ably impressive in his first started t on because to nonexistent in the Playbook a year ago totally ramped off the let's go oh that so close almost almost up and then what Happ it should be an inter you got catch that but here's the momentum piece you talk about at it's forget about the score let's play H football and all sudden you start feeling oh my God y on the option keeper Chris Chris Kus call this the three man game you can you can pit it you can keep it and you see Cole Nelson gets out by Pia p a compter cannot but that's that it it or you canit it tion 142 y of total off Vanderbilt starting quarterback first game a starter in the AJ Newberry up about the for tackle the H okay now that's that's decent this team but what has toen in my opinion and on theug on the and thees have to get penetration to keep this running game from being effective [Music] second oh stop him stop him stop stop stop stop stop him imagine if we recover the line soet inside you see fug you seees watch how penetration can affect play you see that doesn't look big but it's enough that that push you're not getting pushed backwards you're maintaining you're getting in their back cesion give him a couple on that play third down and a big moment second of this [Music] oh my God right here he's spying spy spy Spy AET that's all that is that's simp I mean it's like hey I think I'm a better athlete than you that's what Diego just said and he proved it so here's a great thing that third down is going to get another opportunity Pro it's not easy when you don't know what this quarterback does in space so boom you're going to get another third third down opportunity you got to take advantage of it next time when you're spying the quarterback that's what he was he was a quarterback spy three years ago he was playing for the Mexico Military Institute help that team to a junior college national championship two seasons at New Mexico state now in the Alexander picks up a couple and the book is being written in an incredible way for number two for Vander former confer USA offensive player the year in Los crus a season ago the of possession and I'm interested how much time is going to be on the clock when when Vander snaps it they s to that keep the the play clock that time ret yes get him get him he gobbled up there you [Music] Goos 11os on the middle and so all you have to do is push and press and get off a box that's called getting skinny if you stay Square you won't be able to get through once you press you turn your hi sideways turn your shoulder sideways get skinny and Relentless effort Chris Mar told us yesterday and white the best motor on this team we saw it there out of field goal out yes indeed out out of range there you go it would be about a 52 yd field goal attempt and we were told the magic line is around the 33 for vanderville today it's Fourth and long and let's see Brock Taylor on the field they're going to try a long field goal no kidding yd attemp from right 54 on the Zero yeah game yes costy caution up I know was didn't count but he missed it he missed that field go all of gets the ball at the 40 or so yard line so now instead yout it you play the field position game and you rely on your defense that's Aug win Virginia in I he said he comfort from 50 that's what the said that's what Le said that would have been 54 Jesse merco the transfer from Ohio State aie pter that's been a recipe for Success here in Nashville all right that's good MH the sack by Burgos the high defensive player Chris Mary on that lastri are you serious are you serious I pound on the you wonder that put Vander back in field goal range and so here comes Brock back on come on allow for it I will extend it a little bit this seems as if it's a situation where the situation allows at the 43 with the snap so it's going to be about a yard closer somehow and a second chance for Taylor on the he nailed [Music] it least is three not six [Music] [Music] at least is three kickoff week we welcome you back toell kickoff week what a game so in Nashville Tennessee first 20 tolor [Music] toep willing it outo of the 24 what seen this has been so far I tell you what we've seen some crazy plays including that last field goal sequence let's go out your mind with what we just witnessed here at First Bank Stadium well I'm asking for are you your you have thisen because have two Zer on the field that's K law a lineer he's on and then that's JS the returner now here's the issue they V for number zero Tucker Hollow is the usual P returner but because he's not available for this game team coaches got to know you cannot have the same number that cost you points if you lose this game by three you will officially TI for the longest Vander field goal in 11 and just two y of theol record by Taylor is goes over the right side the 2 the tack I meany of sneaks it just the ight for a sophore kicker known for his leg strength and a chance at Redemption after the line drive missed just moments earlier and they also moved up that kick by about a yard so the Snapper hold their combo they adjusted that and it worked down TOS sweep to quickly near the third for Virginia Tech long Z wood Vander defense up to the challenge for the today and aods down on the field near the two'll keep it right here for drones he CAU on that last H possession Martel injured Corner remains down and now H to his feet at least he's okay Labor Day weekend a great destination here in Nashville but across the ESPN networks ABC how about miam florid Riv theay night college football match up in Vegas 7:30 e on ABC and don't forget Monday night laborate Boston College five straight days of football to KI week one go where the blockers do not punt back a little wide he spre knew of course we got punch Fort Peter Moore Sports time wearing the number 25 Jersey Senor from Davidsonville Maryland and a fair Catch the 21 of 46 yd commod take over there as we take a look at today's road test brought to you by Good Year and for the hes their eyes on the prize in the ACC of course the winner of the conference gets the automatic bid into the new 12 team college football playoff that road trip down to Coral Gables against top Miami we're searching hurricanes with C W that quarterback one to watch that's definitely one to watch and the great thing about the 12 team playoffs is that even if you don't win your confence you still have a chance to get in but the issue is loses like this won't look pretty especially if Miami ends up being the Miami that we hope with Cam the transfer from Washington State heyo maybe a bigger road test today look what we've seen th far roaching five that's backwards though two times theine kakis talks about how on this Zone replay you got to jump out of the way papia has to literally jump out of the way he a little bit lazy with getting out of the way so the running back can go straight downhill and so when you start getting lazy mistakes get made don't love I need more urgency from PX State on the final of Eligibility this season and the direct snap thir nothing St coming in former quarterback turn TI originally signed with Texas then moved over to New Mexico State his debut today originally from Denton Texas a former Elite signal caller in high school third and long that clock continues to tick and tick and tick away V finds up this what talked about third down got to get off the field third 13 I expect I don't expect pressure I expect fourman Rush lock H get the stop Castillo called for the he'll deine thaten it's Fourth Downy Jennings back deep to receive just the second of this game for vanderville was the starter the Bucky for those three campaigns electing the lead booms this one to Jennings the catch called and made the 3 we check in again with gentlemen at keeping you connected what's going on in the early window Georgia just punched it in to extend their lead over on ABC 20 to3 louville that speaks for itself K Kent State Kent State hanging in there but Sam H congratulations your first Saturday in the booth you have drawn the best game of the early window and Coach M's being sensitive he haven't dropped his name yet that's your at M keeping you connected whoa absolutely love gentlemen it's to you onard and perh you brought here to this as ENT to Dan can a burton guy Dan he's a TI my God but get better the blocking H come on come and and after a moment he's back down in the way they stretch the leg you wonder if the humidity the temperature cramps could become a factor at some point yeah with the heat one thing about the Heat and one thing I notic is Virginia Tech came out early for warmups they were outside a good bit I didn't see the VY team out as much to me it says they knew how hot it was going to be they try to prepare for this we heard Clark Clark Lee say that he tried to keep his team inside the last few days but this if it is all y it is cramps cramps is definitely against V at 6 Eastern fman at number 6 Miss 7:00 eastern ESPN plus Alabama and Al at Jordan 7:30 tonight as well download the ESPN app go to ESPN plus.com schedule to watch second down for drones lightning in a bot the first possession of this second only 10 points okay that's good pass and there's a late flag by P and he got there just a second lateen markering L flag again I bet it's going to be on against I bet it's against Vander Vander of course of course of course more more costly penalties by look at you can't do that when the ball was thrown it wasn't High it wasn't targeting it was nothing along those lines yeah there's been a few calls with this Vander defense that you wonder if it's a little passate agression I get that but that's a gain of 17 through the 15 with theen that's 32 and in terms ofen yage now at 6 for this game for theod they a just 42 contest last year moment suddenly for the h drones wants to take a shot he will TI down into the red zone now drones def 26 by number number one you know there's be see receiver is tight there may be some traffic so you have to go over your defensive back not run into him in order to keep that wheel route from happening so great throw by drones great rout byell but bad eyes by Brian longw you have to have pre Awareness on the potential traffic issues on your outside time for drones he becomes an entirely different player this is an entirely different offensive attack two to in our third quarter Virginia has not iner 17 to3 lead at the half the H knocking on the again a slow start last year in blackburg one and three a flurry at the vi against military drones went off to traffic the pass incomplete looking for Stell not sure who wanted that reception that time yeah really just right is trying to get he has to be more agressive so you know that even if theend is being patient get out of the that third down pick up a first inside the call timeout time out timeout there you go the call it timeout there you go 125 remaining in the third no penalty that's a big deal there on Third and 10 and for brenty Tyler back to the dra Bo trying to figure out a way to get this B across the goal line well they target targeted the tight end a lot this series but also remember earlier when go dropped that pass they've targeted the tight the red and simulates Qui TI mided think back seen as much of jayen Lane and felt onve beener the one thing drone said about his TI you put the ball anywhere in his vicinity he will catch it and their relationship on the field has through preas inur threat as he canat without ni got there collaps the pocket a Los of eight Virginia Tech going the WR way away from the V yeah cord you're going to see him right here at the top of your screen just keep your on him and then watch his pass us so you're going to see a lot of effort right here he comes up and then he doesn't win initially but that's what we call effort you work on drill like this in practice okay you win on your pass rush moves you have to have extra effort as a defensive line to get a sa so positive on the win positive on the spin positive on the efforts Clark Le told us yesterday he is our best pass rusher we saw that on display love from 38 right in the middle of the field and it's back to a one score John love automa a year ago a great start in 2024 that Advantage Trim to seven near the end of the third quarter you think about success in Nashville Brent Bry the current hokey head coach was a big part of that going back to his 10e under James Franklin the wins know they came in droves against alurn Florida Tennessee the bowl win and the Music City Bowl in Memphis against NC stillinger yet that theyed with a seems crazy to think about that these days but vanderville those two years in particular James Franklin his final two campaigns they had a cooking they did and it really started with their defense as well that's I think if he was on those teams four time lineer defensive coordinator for Brent Virginia Tech so if you're going to win this game what is it going to lead with your defensive head coach it's got to be defense the ball has been on the ground two or three times and pia has been able to recover it or at least VY has been able to recover it if that gets on the ground again the way you win is bying anding oh yep that's one thing that Hoke did you still get a Cal on that Virginia Tech sideline very confident coaching staff in our meetings with them this week and they knew that they were going to face some adversity here at some point in time the question is how would they respond we're about to find out one possession game at the end of the third quarter all right the mentality of your Vanderbilt Diego Pavia another chance yet to see him work the ball to his big tight end so far today maybe to consider but they've got the lead they've got Tech exactly where they want them right they do and the mentality for me has to be go back to what you're doing in the first quarter which is continue to play that time of possession game there's a snap last series where they Saed with 17 seconds I'm not saying afame and Nate Johnson in at quarterback for the first time the transfer from Utah now Sanders s backwards P got there for the tfl The Freshman defensive tackle so we thought we would see Nate Johnson at some point Tim Beck called him one of the fastest players in college football he's got a different gear One play and nothing doing as Pavia checks back inors don't have to snap it here at the end of the quarter and third 15 minutes away from a potential up we're back in quarter for your team got to convert those field goals to touchdowns we've had a situation right there we don't get it blocked up we have a miscommunication yeah you're in line there in crossing the just of the line to gain H not won a game triling by a touchdown or moreing the fourth quarter in you got go back to Notre Dame in 201 that MOJ just recorded his first completion of the second half commod need two yard to keep this drive alive two they ain't going to get whoa impressive scage H for aens defens saw penetration what does defense coordinator Chris Mar say he said let's bring pressure we know what they're going to try this let's and toat us and we're saw line JS drifting back deep to receive this from Jessie merco The Crow from Lane stadium that made their now the Nashville for this Labor Day week and a great Destin stop of course ready to leave with an L in hand starting to Make Some Noise here's J Davis's defitely element of here in this we game but it's been fueling them more in the second keep in mind all of these returners they tied back to their experience last season starting out just one and three making everything clb they've talked about starting fast anding something early and they know that starts with how they finish here today TR to only a touchdown defit it was a two game at Play action for drones shes it ahead to his tight go he's toing downo excuse now second and there goes Lane Dron oh my catch that ball come on are you kidding [Music] me stop dropping the [Music] ball simplys his he was looking at the in if Will third oh my God okay that works I'll take it he's still going that's my man he fired that last pass to Green it was incomplete but it felt like the Rhythm and stepping into the pocket of got him in cage and that next with the first you can feel momentum starting toch thrs with [Music] play okay that's St aain it's going to be add on top of it on top of the pass that goes on top of everything and all you're going to see is the quarterb going to have time that's what we see this takes you move theet you see going AC field the we've seen sucessful they move theet a little bit inorder to create more and they believe that their receivers and tight end are more athletic than the defense so that extra time by pocket mov ising effective for this offo that play the longest for either team drones call his own number not that time capers able to get there in plenty of time a Los of big play by noce he's lined up on the tight end so you think he's going to be there but in he he in that sequence here com drones [Music] of third nashing by possession and it's a greaters what it meets reality is this when you [Music] let's go there we go we're back in business [Music] extra point know your are in in back when that runninges what're here moment sh that possession that confidence it's let's play Andra point pero and it's tied come all right we're back Vander the home team the second half so far it's been all Virginia Tech tie of 20 10 remain and K Dron set for takeoff a hug and some encouragement from Team chapl Dave gids Jr you got it feel we can sense it up here a new quarterback a new offense and a new Vibe for the Hoke sideline and that's the stuff that people don't see on the sideline when a team is up or a team is down who are the people encouraging you Dave gids is getting in his quarterback here saying hey you've been through ADV adversity before you'll be it again but let's lead and be elite through this out what you got gentlemen I have game set Bulldogs in Atlanta Carson Beck 4 y London humph in the quarter 273 24 lead at mercedesz stadium in Atlanta and here in nashv we are tied virgin Tech picked as one of the sers to the have been chenged soain ofia back the field Mo PHS thetive with a tack along with samfield by PHS he was in the middle ofi heed as go from pistol to the left side atast the defense is left he he heer made's director at oh come [Music] on come on team we got to do better afternoon we saw ACH year ago in thex 4 you're going to side all the way on the other and what Happ right here look where are you're motion AC from in the backi that happens in the back Pavia the keeper to the 29 as V utilizes tempo for the first time in this game they pick up four and that's a great use of of tempo but what you do when you bring Motions like that is that you challenge defenses you say okay are you going to have people talk gity all theay your Gap but inte is ISS that defens if you're looking at the please stop them come [Music] on yes go up great job by fug with thetion what I'm looking at now just to get yall in my mind a little bit is the clock the clock the clock you want to make this play clock to go down you're third down right nowal third down you want to get a first down some more play but still you want to keep that Virginia te defense on the field more TOA moreci l a stop dropped no Flags oh and it dropped by broken sometimes wonder if when receivers feel people coming them are you worried that you're to you worried about catching thatall now SK made some great plays this game so I'm confident you I drop that I'm get OPP Brock Taylor connected 53 third quarter [Music] attemp mares in what happened St mull let come on okay FIS Taylor I'm not sure that leg strength is an issue even from this distance but obviously far from a simplistic kick that's going to force a punt is it though like I think he could he made a 50 plus y not too long ago a 53 y this is 55 I get the def
