Calvin Jones Gonzalez to throw hit as he does and it's batted Away by Kaden forom the linebacker taking care of the football when you're backed up on offense if you're Cole Gonzalez second down 10 for the [Applause] catamounts Gonzalez quick throw almost intercepted looking for Jones and then Aiden white who's got eight career interceptions almost had a bow on his ninth again the Tip Drill right here and you're just missing out you got a two-man route selection to the bottom of the screen trips to the top of the screen as you see right there very fortunate Western Carolina to this point catamounts were 44.2% on third down a year ago pistol formation for Gonzalez they've plugged in Adams of course three receivers to the field one here to the boundary play clock down to five wol pack with pressure Gonzalez throws it's caught that's Columbo and a catam out first down to the 372 yd line Coy makes the stop really accurate throw Columbo another one of those Southern Conference preseason picks just coming underneath on the slant nice pitch and catch catch here tonight so first and 10 they spot it to the 38 yd line for the catamounts Western Carolina 7 and4 year ago they're 19th nashley in the FCS coaches poll Columbo in motion Gonzalez another quick throw that's Jones Calvin Jones redir J from Forest City North Carolina he's tackled by Shawn Brown there's Brown now who's going to be a much bigger figure in the Wolfpack defense this year well he moves down from his safety spot to play and what is really a nickel hybrid linebacker he's expected to be the top Tacker on this defense this defense is built around the weak side linebacker second down five and Riley Johnson the referee I think we may have had some early Movement by Western Carolina's offensive line [Applause] delay of game defense 5y penalty second down so delay of game is the ticket on the defense and Dave Doran an early what four little visit with the uh side judge Aaron Haku remember with some of the new NCAA rules in relationship to baiting an offensive lineman or a quarterback with your movement forward jerking towards the line of scrimmage even clapping trying to get the attention of your own teammates that's a flag now Gonzalez in the pistol with Adams and there's an early start Jake young who only played four games last year ball start offense number 66 5y penalty check it out never too early to say LS that the five you earned is the five you just gave back yeah we'll just start right back where we started and you know this is these types of plays this is what you're going to see week one what was so amazing about Georgia Tech Florida State last week Georgia Tech didn't have a penalty did not top of the screen Gonzalez wants the Run he'll tuck step out of the dab and B tackle and got plastered and there's a flag as the hit was made by Kate taking from the wol pack 38 quick throw in Jones here at the near side oh it took a hit again and that time travali price but one thing you're going to notice about the wack they were a pretty good running defense a year ago they might be better this year well this is an effort-based defense you see them strain to the football and what Western Carolina is trying to do is spread them horizontally to get them tired throw that ball out to the perimeter and get NC State running second down halfway to the first down for Gonzalez couple of missed early throws by Cole have gone by the boards now and here better than 3 minutes into the first quarter into Wolfpack territory quick throw again and a sliding catch and that was held on to by Branson Adams Shawn Brown was there to make the tackle that's going to be short of the first down helmet came off Adams has to come out don't make the change and bring Marlon Cochran into the lineup at the running back spot he wears 25 for the cam out W this is two down territory a year ago 45% conversion rate on fourth down and 44% on third down field goals won't win this one for Western Carolina third and short they're going to run the ball Cochin slipped down might have lost half a step well and part of that Noah Potter angled in there to trip him up to they've also lost their outstanding Place kicker did kerwood Bell and Richard McCollum from a year ago yeah you see them get caught up in the back field tripping over each other's feet and it looked like there was a nice defense Adams has come back in the ball [Applause] game that's young the tight end in [Applause] motion play fake Gonzalez WS to throw incomplete tried to go to Young the tight end and the wol pack was there with Bishop Gerald the [Applause] safety nine plays in the cam outs give it back on Downs to NC State Gonzalez sees a strong side pressure goes over to the left and what a play right there by Fitzgerald cuz he has to come from the opposite half the opposite safety position and come downhill into the flat really impressive defensive stand there on fourth down well the 43rd career game of Grayson McCall his first in an NC State uniform starts just inside his own 30 yd [Applause] line got Jordan Waters the Duke transfer with him Joe Lee the tight end transfer from Yukon in motion Waters gets the first Carry and he'll slip out for four to the 34 Turner makes the Stop and Grayson Mcall from Indian Trail North Carolina and there's the do of his career good play fake the waters here's mall going to shoot it down the field conion overthrown Ken Mo Jr the nickel an all so conf fresman a year ago from Christopher Columbus in Miami was in coverage and he's a corner he actually got beat out at the other Corner Spot by Jordy Lowry for Western Carolina so Jerry Odin says hey we're going to take a guy who's tough and has cover skills in the middle of the field and match him up versus NC State's best Target thei Collins will go to the left concepion very dangerous sophomore here to the bottom of the screen that's Joe Lee the tight end you [Music] saw snap to Mcall loads and throws and it's caught 50 yd line and a first down to Noah Rogers from Raleigh transferred back from Ohio State to in the hometown that's the 16 yd throw two-man layered route high low you read the flat Defender and look at the ball placement that's what I talked about the accuracy for Grayson Mcall you throw the guy open Bend him over to the sideline where only his guy can get [Music] [Applause] it NC State goes heavy here Tom something they have not been able to do the last couple years we'll dive into that here this is what they want to be and now concepion tries to slip through the crack in the wall and does he gets 9 10 ball popped out and it's recovered by juice Bine the tight end it looked like Hayward McQueen tugged it out of concepcion's grasp but ju forine the tight end the sophore was there to grab so here's our man right here and he's going to go in motion right there and they love to get him the football this is just an underneath Jet Sweep but it's a forward pass anything bad happens in the back Back Field it's an incomplete pass and not a great block right there from big number seven right there leading the way for NC State but Casey concepion does the rest second and three mall to his right going to shoot it down the field and just beyond the reach of darari Collins so now third down for the [Applause] wol grace McCall would like to have that throwback that's a a throw that he routinely makes just slightly overthrown to the 6'4 Collins the Clemson transfer you see McCall going to The Wristband Robert anai the offensive coordinator remember that that in helmet communication is in college football this year that's McCade the converted lineman playing tight end it's in motion here's bin they're going to hand the ball to Waters little delay trying to get to the perimeter that's well played B Simpson Ming stayed home at the safety spot makes the play and now fourth down loss of two on the play fine defensive effort for the cam out watch B Simpson Neely 21 insert himself right there on the edge to the left of your screen and he has to make this open field tackle he doesn't make this tackle Waters bounces to the perimeter in turns the corner K ner seventh in the ACC a year ago will punt it to AJ Columbo Columbo was third in the Southern Conference a season ago average 12 yds of [Music] returner tries to flip it over and it will skip into the end zone we have played 7 minutes for week one in the ACC underway and we are his dad breakdown routes wide receiver on the easel and he's got a lot of love for the game he's a student of the game Dad can't make it tonight cuz he's got a big game he's at the Florida against Miami and uh but his mom Julie's here and just a love for the game a real student of the game and Tom I know you can relate to that yeah Dan I absolutely can you know one of the greatest privileges is to be the son of a college football coach and and the the life that you grow up into and then I had the opportunity I was very similar to Cole um had the opportunity to move on play college football and have my dad right there behind me it's it's a special time I'm really happy for him he's a terrific player preseason player play of the year on offense in the Southern Conference he was the offensive player of the year a season ago snap is high to him Gonzalez going to try and make something of it canot boy it took a big lick from travali Price Jaylen Parker who's filling the role of Kaden forom who was ejected on the targeting also helping out now it's third and Beyond the 10 for Wester and I think this was going to be basically quarterback power and then the snap botched it and at the point of attack for Western Carolina very very difficult to handle what is the strength of this Wolfpack defense and that's their front three and front seven as a total Gonzalez in the pistol with [Applause] Adams lone receiver off the formation is Jones to the bottom of the screen quick toss to Adams with run trying to get some blockers in front he bounced off a one and there was whistle blown and now Kerwin Bell Has Come Off the Bench out at the 25 before the stn timeout is called by Western Carolina First of this half this will be a full immediate timeout so the timeout was
