Stanford OL/Offense vs TCU Defense (2024)

is the starting quarterback got a lot of experience last year he's got a true freshman running back alongside and Daniels is going to throw deep on the first play to I Manor last year 11 touchdowns eight interceptions very productive for the Cardinal hand off here is the true freshman and Mel Ford with a really nice gain classic Stanford all around tight end you're going to see him on the right side of your screen he gets his hands outside the frame on obior when Obi aor goes to make it down and long Daniels will hand off again Ford this time just not much room defensive coordinator this season third and 13 Daniels plenty of time in the pocket and he's going to throw over the top into double so as of now no targeting and no targeting but that's definitely a defenseless player running down the sideline for the and the penalty gives Stanford their first first down of the Year play fake quick hitter right side good blocking on the outside [Music] quick snap Daniels scrambling Daniels is going to run for it he'll get the first down and much still got to back off there that ends up being a 30yd play with the rush and the penalty going on the national championship run played middle safety for the horn frogs moved to linebacker last season one of the see the wide out goes in motion and Ford gets the carry spins away from one with Cedric Irvin now in a tailback time to throw Daniel just never got rid of it Ford back in at tailback and he'll get the ball they'll pitch it back at TCU an American Conference player of the year last year does a tremendous job off the edge Stanford it's amazing this drive their offense that's TCU almost jumped there they're bringing pressure Daniels gets away momentarily now he's going to scramble Ashton Daniels cuts it toward the middle and the ball comes out at the end of the play and it's first and goal for Stanford with an empty Back Field Daniels a designed quarterback run straight ahead and Irvin with Daniels almost like an option style play but really the only option was for Daniels to keep it Daniels third and goal looking right throws and Zone touchdown see the outside linebacker widen [Applause] remember he had a slow start to his season last year dealing with a lot on and off the field a new offensive should be on notice after that first drive looks like it is going to be a huge year for Savon Williams based on sixy completion and then a short one- yd run so it's third and three second possession for the Cardinal and Daniels is going to keep it and you know two third and long situations we bailed him out with penalties and let the quarterback get out once so we just got to s in a play I like the way we're playing we just got to you know powerful Runner we will see him in this game in those kind of spots Daniels pressured and Daniels is going down it's a loss of seven so second and 17 just a couple plays in to the second quarter Daniels being pressured again and he's going to heave it down the field and it's caught brings pressure Ashton Daniels finds a play Down field and they get into a quick snap situation on third career forcing the fumble for Stanford and that is officially a completion a catch and a fumble another kind of misdirection play the play to get down field that counts as a tackle for loss fifth one already for TCU pass low and [Applause] 11 handoff straight ahead and a big hole irvan cuts it up field and he got it's first and goal Stamford it'll be Ford left side run Ford tripped up TCU defense tighter formation ear straight ahead and again well defended Ashton Daniels the quarterback will hand it off again Irving left side and TCU was ready so Stanford Tor on Fourth and goal under Center play fake looking to throw End Zone caught mostly as a running quarterback like we mentioned right tough physical downhill guy showing his accuracy there and there for me before the game we feel like we're the most improved team of the country Ashton Daniels in the pocket throws and it hits the back of the linebacker and ricochets it's intercepted by Tim Mitch and time Mitchell the big fell 91 6'3 320 lb right place at the right [Applause] time what a weird carum huh oh just did it Daniels backpedaling and throws and found his man goes for 21 yards that's the play where coaches no no no throw it away throw it away oh hey great play Ashton incredible play by the quarterback off your back foot pressure in your face how about Ford and a nice powerful pressure but he keeps his eyes down the field and remains a passer so into TCU territory Ford gets another carry this the job at TCU he said hey we need to come play some football for me that was a good decision Daniels a quarterback draw out into the open first down and down for Cedric irvan at the running back position just does a great job leeding up on linebacker Max Carroll that's what sparks Daniels on the explosive all of them so players and coaches play fake Daniels over the top and that one is in now a hand off Ford Straight Ahead Ford kept M his job in recruiting bringing in some talented players yeah they've had some big conversions here a throw incomplete more good coverage there up a team and are still trailing they have two to one total yardage Advantage for TCU Daniels design run kind of picking his way forward Ashton Daniels out into the open and across right away into TCU territory Daniels why not try it again that Donald tackle Daniels little shoulder fake gets hit goes over the top and it's knocked away looking a little disorganized they get the play snapped Daniels throws and that one is caught at about play clock under 10 Daniels looking right Daniels now moving right will stop throw over the top into coverage and it's TI Daniels designed quarterback run again that's becom nine and they'll fake the Jet Sweep and throw deep down the left sideline in Stanford offense is kind of stalled here more pressure Daniels flushed and he will go down second half they have to find a way to get some pass game going down the field back to pass on first down and sort of retreating he dumps it down to Micah Ford The Freshman running back for Stanford play fake no they handed it off and Ford goes inspired football tonight [Applause] he was a part of that two lane program re Resurgence now playing for TCU pressure Comes The Dump down the catch but the immediate backfield here TCU showing a little pressure now Daniels across the middle and that's a comple junior out of Nashville looks like Stanford's decided that part of the solution maybe is a little quicker Tempo ball Daniel had to throw off the back foot I maner just from Utah started 29 games for the youths done a tremendous job on I Manor tonight fourth and five Daniels rolling right Daniels going to try to run and he will not getford was one of the best home teams in the country and they've been the worst over the last many seasons nice p for Troy Taylor just trying to establish some HomeField Advantage another completion to I maner and he just couldn't get away did in fact do that I don't blame him across the middle that pass is caught and how about that the First Catch of the year for Tiger season that's his first catch his first Target hand off right side and Ford goes down see you tonight second and long they bring some pressure and Stanford actually picked it up pretty well but the throw is just just not smart 100 yds of penalties now Daniels scrambling danels is going to run Daniels had a man that might have been seven points second and two they'll throw short and side that are breathing down your neck they're coming for you they've been coming after you all night you've been taking hit after hit you get outside the pocket and I understand Sam that would have been big time the tight end hard to see though third and short Daniels in the pocket over the top and it's caught football players make big time plays and Big Time moments third down fourth quarter got to have it go to your goto guy I Manor what a perfect throw and catch against Great GRE snap now they run Daniels in there he gets the snap and keeps it and he wiist on Third and goal from inside the one Lamson keeps it Lamson L first down Daniels is going to go over the top and the pass is incomp so second and 10 that was a chance for a very big play now Daniels again going in that direction fall back he'll take the snap on Third and 10 here comes a pressure and he is going to go down and get sacked All Conference players season ago in the American Athletic and Stanford's going to go for it by the way they're not going to Fourth and 16 Daniels steps up and throws and it's tipped up in outs and I guess the theory for Troy Taylor is if you can hold him to a field goal you get the ball back anyway just a three-man rush and the ball knocked [Applause] away across the middle Iron Man are wide open and he's going to get to Midfield out of run again this throw is caught and and that's what they did Daniels going to throw short again this is Ford The Freshman running and they will run the clock starting now okay Daniels scrambling he's going to run and go looking for a miracle pressur Comes This Time Daniels throws and that one knocked away so third and four a play fake Daniels over the top toward the end zone incomplete
