and here's the return from just inside the 25 and they get to the ground at the 30 that's where the drive will start so Baylor's offense will have the football first here and here comes that star wide receiver certainly one of the focal points of the offense one of the best in college football he has that kind of yeah I'm him AA I'm the best player on the field the field but this guy crawled out of the bed thought he was the best he's confident but he carries it as a guide for his team it gives them confidence because they know that when he's great they have a chance to win every game what's the playful here on second down for this offense On The Run it's Richardson takes it out to the 44 that's good for a first down was a nice job up front by the offensive line but give the running back and assist for setting those blocks up before he's able to get down field for the first down first down play call how aggressive will it be and the quarterback keeps it here he's found some room with the 45 heads out of bounds after a solid gain more than enough to pick up a first down really a great way to get this game started for this offense you know they told us in our production meeting they thought with certain formations they'd be able to get this defense out of position and hit him for some big plays here we're seeing it to get this game started soir we reached the end of one so far a defensive stal made here in the early stats illustrating the story [Applause] back at at to start the quarter offense getting set to RN a first down play from the shotgun it's a handoff they'll stop him behind the line for a loss of one they don't block the defensive end and shows some quickness Kirk getting around the edge that time yeah this guy's usually getting around the edge to put pressure on the quarterback but he reminds everybody here that this guy's a complete package not only can he pressure the quarterback but also he is very very very talented and shows you the physicality he has against the run as well send the back in motion drops back needing a third down completion here it's caught downfield game mov the ball to the 21 and a fresh set of downs the Bears lining up here on First and 10 dropping back it's Finn SS with the throw that heads out of B BS after a decent gain well this wide receiver has it all we know about his leaping ability and speed but what I've seen today is the precise route running another example of it there in the timing with this quarterback he takes it in for the score touchdown Bor Chris who was the last time you saw an offense eat up the entire first quarter talk about moving the ball methodically down the field and then eventually you're able to punch it in for a touchdown this defense is going over the sidelines just looking for answers here's a kickoff team let's see if they give the returner an opportunity to bring this back return begins inside the 10 he stopped at the 20 tried to make something happen but that's good coverage there Alabama off will take over so Alabama's offense comes out for their first possession today got a great match up today Kirk of elite Corners they put these guys on islands and they believe they can shut down anybody across from if you're going to have a great defense right now college football you better be able to cover on the outside and these two teams happen to have the two of the top corners in the game how much fun is this going to be to watch these guys today and a big game before he goes out of bounds the offense keeps churning gets a fresh set of downs and here the tight end shows off his hands for a nice game love to see the big man get his touches the game moves the ball past the 40 sets up another first and 10 quarterback drops back from the shotgun looking for a re receiver that one Falls incomplete good defensive play brings up second down you get a tight end like this and you know he's used to dishing out the punishment but here he's the one that has to absorb the contact and as a result he's unable to hold on to the football with the catch it's Haynes they make the tackle but that pass creates a solid game one thing I love about this B is how he gets involved in the passing game nice catch here they're going to throw for it on Third and short he'll take a deep shot and it's intercepted and he's got some open field ahead and he'll be taken down but after a good return boy CHR he hesitated just enough to give the defense a chance to get in position and come up with a big [Music] turnover so here comes the Baylor offense onto the field can they keep it going they fix the run and pass beautifully in the last touchdown dve first play of the drive looking to throw the football grab behind the line it's Jackson he's brought down quickly a short gain gets them a few yards closer to the marker the timing here between the quarterback and his receiver pick up some positive yards and I continue to be impressed with just the the chemistry between these two go time running down just one play left here in the half to throw It's Finn receiver looks it in it's complete defense able to bring him down to wrap up the third quarter of play and that will do it for the first half here Kevin Connors now has our halftime update man it should come as no surprise that we have ourselves a fun matchup in wakeo and I get it a lot of coaches will say the difference between winning and losing comes down to stopping big plays and getting big plays but if you ask me it's more about how good you are on third down and how efficient you are in keeping drives alive those two stats can help you break the will of even the best defenses and help you come out on top for now let's get back to the guys in the booth to start up this second half all right thank you for the update Kevin appreciate it the Bears will kick this away to get the second half going and he'll bring it out from inside the 10 and he'll be tackled after a solid effort on that return here comes the Alabama offense back onto the field off the play fake looking to throw on first down he's escaping the pocket now pass ball is incomplete on the scramble as good coverage well these guys just continue to struggle throwing the football you know whether it's been running the wrong route the quarterback not being at accurate the offensive line not doing their job it's been a collective effort and it's a big reason why they're trailing now in this game looking to pass here on second down quick throw to his receiver pass ball is incomplete there was a lot of contact no penalty brings up third down not going to be easy here backed up a long way to go for a first down drops back looking to throw for it on third down caught over the middle it's hes good enough for a fresh set of downs they'll spot the ball at the 40 this is a big conversion by this offense they're down now in the second half probably limited opportunities at this point in the game every chance you get your hands on the ball you need points they keep this drive alive right here launching it downfield grab down the middle it's hes breaks clear Endzone ahead and he takes it all the way to the end zone touchdown Alabama number Chris how dangerous is this offense of course you know about the receivers those vertical shots but here's an example you get the ball to the running back out in space takes it all the way to the end zone for a touchdown the BC is up and good so we're tied up here in the third quarter now they get set to kick it away this is a scri kick picked up by one of the up men they get him down at the 33 after a solid return here comes the Bor offense back out onto the field looking for some space it's Richardson you know in that era that we live in right now nobody wants to spread the field route try to create space try to create one-on-one matchups and the defense has countered over the years by trying to play out wide but here's a great example the defense has the ability to play wide but still be solid at the line of scrimmage and not give up big run CLS Rush down to the offense first [Applause] down that's the end of the thir heck of a ride to a very competitive first three quarters if you check out some of the stats [Applause] here let's see how this fourth quarter unfolds everything to play for here for both teams and so here we go first play of the quarter the offense has a first down back to throw It's Finn caught for the completion defense reacts quickly a very short gain on the play he'll get to the line here in the no hun quarterback looking to throw it on second down caught over the middle it's pry he'll be taken down but he does have first down yardage the clock is still running they got to get set quickly first down looking to throw the ball and looking for a big play here touchdown Bears they jump in front here in the fourth that is just an outstanding job by this quarterback with the game on the line he finds the match up with his go-to receiver makes a perfect throw here to the receiver and they scored late to take the lead and the extra point was up and good getting set to kick the ball off now he return from inside the 10 yd line gets it to the 25 yd line that's where they start the drive the Alabama Alabama's offense coming back onto the field and it comes down to this they need a touchdown they've got some time to work with how aggressive will they be throws it to the right oh it's incomplete that's a good job of the defender to break that up offense getting set up here's second down there's the snap looking to throw the ball looks down field and finds a receiver who worked his way wide open they bring him down but a big chunk of yardage on the play a new set of downs after that completion on First and 10 looking to throw physical defending that one Falls incomplete brings up second Down Chris I thought he had his hands on that football I thought he was going to come down with it but give the defense all the credit with a big hit to knock that ball loose looking to Chuck it again tries the right with a quick throw Falls incom complete broken up by the defender nicely that time well this is it late in the game really tight situation this is what separates a good quarterback from a great quarterback can he come up with the play to keep this drive alive dropping back we going to throw for the first down escapes the pocket defense stops him short of the mark so now it's fourth down well the quarterback knew the one thing he can't do here is take a sack and in this case he's able to avoid the pressure and get out of there now he didn't pick up the first down but he gave him a shot he'll get hurdles over the defender heads out of bounds after running for the first down to keep this scoring threat alive serious pressure now for the defense looking downfield it's milro and he'll lost it to the end zone oh and it's bad down by the defense great play to deny a touchdown second down play coming up for this offense quarterback sets up looking for an open man grab down the middle it's LW tackle is made at the8 yd line it'll be first and goal right there big opportunity for the offense to tie this game up in the fourth quarter it's first and goal the pass rush closing in and they hit him just as he releases the ball it's incomplete now second down and goal to go second and goal for the offense and the quarterback dropping back and it's intercepted right near the goal line not much on the return but the defense comes up with a takeaway boy would this quarterback love to have this one back they're trying to work themselves back into this game here in the second half and the defense comes up with a big turnover that could be the in the C important second down play coming up well a combination today of some
