welcome everyone to Chestnut Hill home of the Boston College Eagles where fans are quickly filling up alumni stadium in anticipation of a terrific Clash we have ahead we're really looking forward to this matchup you've got a team that's made its way into the top 25 now trying to pass an all important road test [Music] [Applause] [Music] they're just about ready to kick it away set to kick he'll bring it back from inside his SP not a lot of space to be found good Hustle by the cover team and they stop him at the 21 so froston College Eagles offense is on the field for the first time today and here comes the quarterback and one thing you know for sure with this team as he goes so goes the offense and he's a big time Talent reace this guy can hurt you in a multitude of ways throwing and running the football he's going to have to be dialed in though because this defense is going to give him a lot of different looks it's really important mentally this QB is on his game and I tell you what we' kind of gotten to the point where we expect QBs to be robots and just never to miss and always put it right on the face mask or right on the numbers and right there you could tell he just missed a little bit a little bit off and I guarantee he's tapping his helmet and saying hey that's my bad defense there to stop him after a gain of one to the 22 I'll tell you this is a running back who's very very dangerous and the defense did a good job getting him down there but they got to do a great job gang tackling because this is a guy that can break tackles and turn those types of plays into home runs and the golden eagles will hustle to the line third and long and he'll try to throw for it they've got the screen set up he's R out of bounds but a big play on that one and it'll be a first down hey man sometimes you get the perfect play call at the perfect time that time the defense blitzing offensive line allowed everybody to run up field and they slip in the running back screen and behind it there was no nobody there to make a tackle and this offense generates a massive [Applause] play Power football with the run and mfield he's got Ro hit the gas kid wide open ahead sprinting all the way he'll take it to the house but there is a flag on the field the penalty wipes out the big play and the touchdown it is just a punch in the gut for any offense Nifty little dance step they make the stop but not before he takes a chunk out of what they need to move the Sticks no huddle offense to the line [Applause] from the gun they'll give it on the inside and they drag him down but not before he picked up the first down and that's back to back now we've seen this running back get it done on their opening drive of the game that last carry got the first down so if I'm the offensive coordinator right now I love the way my o line playe and I love the way this guy's toing The Rock I'm going to give it to him again the golden eagles are marching down the field leaves it with the running back and the defense holds firm no pickup at all on that play it's hard to run on a defense that comes off the ball like that and runs to the football like that good luck no holes anywhere movement from the linebackers trying to mess with the offensive line assignments out of the gun the inside hand off to the running back that's what you expect from a senior don't give them any extra yards great tackle there this offensive line better figure out a plan for this D tackle he is tough to block with one guy you might want to start double teaming him he's going to be a problem moving forward you saw all of his ability on that last play Here Comes the seventh play of this opening drive they've moved it well but now facing third down pocket starts to collapse and the quarterback bought some time but not enough down he goes with the sack man you talk all week about setting the tone quieting this crowd don't let him get involved you know how you do that get a sack and force a punt on the first possession of the football game that's a heck of a start for this defense Boston College will send out the punt team the punter going to get his first work of the afternoon no return coming he'll call for the fair catch as we take a look at out impact players for this game David what do you look for to make an impact from your leaders your leaders not only have to lead the football team but they got to step up and make plays on the field keep everybody calm these guys typically do a really good job yeah David and they also generally set the tone for their respective football teams regardless of which side of the ball they play on the teammates look towards them to step up in big games like this not with they had in mind to start this drive here comes second and 13 he's looking to throw coming after it that pass is incomplete and they might do fortunate it wasn't not free for a fumble it'll be third down well he didn't have a whole lot of time to get rid of that one the defense was all over him right after the snap no wonder that thing fell incomplete not exactly the ideal situation for this offense third and long back up inside their 20 he's looking downfield to throw he's got an open man it'll be a first down as he gets it to the 24 yd line wow and what a great job by that quarterback finding his open receiver on third down you know guys one of the most telling stats at the end of the game is third down conversion percentage if you're a great third down team it's invaluable to your offensive success and that's why teams drill third down so much in practice trying to find his man on first down and it's incomplete but the penalty flag has fallen in the holding Zone let's see what the call is [Applause] holding penalties the ultimate Drive killer we'll see if it cost this offense here one back in the back field and they'll give it to him they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one that linebacker was a heat seeking missile and the heat that he sought with the ball Carri great job great field linebackers are making all the calls to the defense and understanding when I need to come through that Gap and come through with bad intention those guys are usually 245 lb of heat-seeking missile and he's ridden to the ground but there's also a flag down let's check the call holding that penalty moves the ball back 10 yds will replay the down the defense has dominated the early part of this game and the stats point that out emphatically [Music] let's see if the offenses can find a little rhythm as we start the second [Applause] quarter he's looking to throw he's got it down the middle and the defense settled in to stop that one for a short gain this quarterback right now is improve and he's doing a nice job in PR he's reading the coverage and he's getting a night idea of where he wants to go with the football that's why the ball's coming out of his hands so quickly that's why he seems like he's in a great you're making up the game plan and not a lot on the play sheet for this third and long from inside their own 20 oh they really could have used that catch their physical pass defense it brings up a fourth down this is a point where you just got to be able to focus the critical down and distances in this game like that third down right there when it's a good throw you got to make the catch you got to be able to make that HT team makes its way onto the field slips through the line he just about took that one all the way to the house they finally get him down after a tremendous return He Wast no time and comes out throwing short gain on the play before slide those always sting a little bit when you get so close to to getting the QB to the ground Crea a negative play and then all a sudden he turns it into something positive just really annoying as a defensive guy going to work on second down in the red zone is still some ground to cover to pick up that first [Applause] down looking for a man it's castios it's complete he's down at the one and they almost had the touchdown pass on that one and a really good job by the quarterback being very decisive he saw his match up he went for it he attacked it got the positive game I would say he's going to find that guy a few more times today Boston College will try to get it in on a first and goal they'll try to get it in with the run and he takes it in for the score touch down by Dustin coll well just as you would expect that didn't take very long it didn't Rees you've got to make great field position count when you got opportunities you got to pay it off and the offense took advantage scoring a touchdown didn't have far to go but they got the points they need [Music] lining up for the pat ex point and he's got the extra point and it's seven nothing to start this one quick strike offense on that three playay scoring drive and they capped it off with a one yd punch about to kick it off after punching it in for the touchdown from inside his own 10 let's see what he gets he was hoping for something a little more Dynamic but they get him on the ground at the 20 lot of field in front of them as they open this possession from their own 20 the offense showing motion from the tight end trying to get a read on the D and he'll be tackled but there is a flag on the field holding we'll repeat the previous down but this time the offense has 10 more yards it has to cover wide receiver coming across in motion trying to get outside on the Jet Sweep they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one defense was prepared and I'm really impressed by the eye discipline right now that's not easy to do it's not easy to locate that receiver coming across in motion with good timing and getting the Jet Sweep they were ready for that one after the loss on that last one an all important second down play from the 12 he's looking to throw he's brought down quickly minimal gain there still a bit short of the first down well they're able to complete the hitch throw against man coverage and hey quarterback's got to be able to get it to him quickly cuz he knows that Defender is going to be driving on the ball so really nice job not hesitating getting it to him and then he gets what he can get after the catch this defense has kept them backed up now one more stop and they can get off the field on Third and long just a short pass to the tight endend and he's not going to make it the defense denying him the first down you got to love that on defense one of the most critical statistics out there is how do you play on third down how do you prevent the opponent from keeping drives alive right there tackling the catch you gave up the completion what did you do you set up fourth and long you're going to get the ball back go get some water and and here comes the punt team this will be the second time they've had to kick it away on the return it's Bon tries to find a little more Running Room on that return but he'll be stopped at the 36 Boston College sending the offense back onto the field and David how they would love to stick it in the end zone one more time after that last drop and once you get the defense on their he and you back them off a little bit you get in a little bit of Rhythm it's really hard to stop Jesse and they're going to try to do it again right and if you're this play caller you're loving what's happening right now because everything you dialed up on that last Drive ended up working out you're just looking at your play sheet everything you're picking is working let's see if they can pull it off again here he's looking to throw it got it in the middle it's Mel this is a very tough slot receiver to cover if you're a linebacker because of how quick and how Shifty he is you never seem to know which way he's going and he always seems to create an open space for his Q they'll line up for a second down play off playaction grab near the marker it's mgaw he's out of bounds but not before picking up enough for the first down they pick up the first down on the drag route good job by the receiver knowing it was man coverage if he's looking he's booking he gave his quarterback the eyes right away that says hey I'm not stopping put it out in front of me I'm getting this first Boston College coming to the line after moving the chains grabbed in the middle It's Bradley really nice job there by both guys the throw and the catch to work that defense and get the first down guys how many first downs is that just on this drive alone I mean this defense allows one or two more drives like this and they're going to be gassed by the third quarter they've moved to the 16 it's first and 10 from the Red Zone looking for a man b a little time lets it Go CAU near the sideline it's mgaw and he goes out of bounds after a nice pick up on that one yeah and I tell you what when you stick these fast suckers in the sloth they don't have to be big but you get those guys that are so quick in the slot they can get great matchups and I can get the ball to them quick because they're such Dynamic Playmakers operating in the Red Zone here on second down he got it takes it to the house touchdown Boston c a score for the big fella here why are ti so effective in the redone well these aren't the guys that are going to burn by you and go for seven most of the time but when you can use their big body frames threaten them to run the football be a Blocker in the running game and now you slip them in the secondary make that big play [Music] now they'll line up for what they hope is automatic and the extra point will tack another one onto this lead so that scoring Drive took only six plays and they CA things off with a 9yd touchdown pass [Music] kickoff team has the ball teed up in there about ready to go here's the return from inside is 10 nice job executing all of the assignments as they put a stop to that return at the 22 all right guys so here's the offense back on the field again comes out throwing on first down it's complete on the right side there's a timeout call as this offense tries to find a way to draw a Little Closer the completion short of the sticks it's second down he's looking to throw catch in the middle it's Williamson here's a Timeout on the field tight game here late in the first half and the slant route you got to put that foot in the ground and cut in in hurry so you can create a little bit of separation from that cornerback and a nice job with the concentration plucking that football pulling it in finds the tie end major gaps in that defense and he got loose and they finally knock him down at the 41 the offense Burns this third and final timeout of the [Applause] half he's going to pass and it's incomplete it was wild high and wide on that one [Music] and now on second down for this offense he's looking to throw and they can't make the connection and it could get worse a penalty flag on the field and it's in the holding Zone let's get the call amazing how many times an offensive holding penalty will stall a drive we'll see if the offense can overcome it they're bringing heat just had to get rid of that one good job to fight another [Applause] [Music] play just a few seconds remaining here as they try to put something up before halftime on Third and long hoping to throw Beyond The Sticks just threw that one away to avoid disaster that's why it's so important for this defense to win first and second down you set up third and Longs like that you show your exotic looks get the pass rush going everybody in the back end expecting throw and that's how you force incompletions and Force fourth backs they'll have just enough time to get one more snap before the half on fourth down looking to pass makes the grab and it's pry for the first down they finally make this stop but that one will make those halftime stats look a little nicer as we head to the break at the end of the second quarter that means it's time to join Kevin an hour halftime update fellas you've been taking in some scene there today in Chestnut Hill and it's been said football is a game of inches and guess what based on the comparison between third down conversion rate today and the average yard per play how can you argue that I mean the low-lying fruit is to look at some of the explosive plays we've seen in panic but really this game is going to come down to which team is more efficient when they have the ball and how they play when it matters most and with that let's send it back to the guys at Alumni Stadium it's all teed up Boston College will kick to start this third quarter here he comes from inside his own five he was hoping for something a little more Dynamic that they get him on the ground at the 20 they'll snap it from the 20 for the opening play of this drive they'll crank up this drive with the pass a little release to the back and a good job of coverage by that defense just a short pick up what's important in this game this offense gets the running back andol out in the perimeter in space where you can do some damage that time they got it to him throwing the football he picked up a couple of yards but it gives the defense something to think it's now second down after the short completion he's looking to throw fires to the big fella and he might be known for run pits but that was a sure and heavy tackle on the tight end nice job by the defense sting to getting him on the ground as soon as he catches the football knowing he's a threat I'm not going to let this guy get out of my sights nice job of Le and this offense can ill afford to come up empty on this drive already trailing by multiple possessions they're trying to slow that Rush down with the draw he picks up the first down brought down but not before he put that dude in a blender and they just kind of sneak that one in there as a defensive guy third and five plus I'm thinking pass they were thinking pass Palmer and they slipped the run in and it's so nice then to have this guy at running back two right because you could throw it to him on third down or hand it off and he's got the vision and the athleticism to go pick up that first keep the drive going might as well give it to him again you want make sure to maximize those types of runs and he gets it out to the 41 coaches always harp about staying ahead of the chains and when you can run with that type of efficiency on first down man you are doing just that nyd pick up on first down and now they can take a shot on second and short one back in the back field he gets the carry they'll get the first down it's spotted on on the 49 and listen the offensive line has to do their job but a really good job by the running back understanding where his hole is go hit it get the first down don't mess around nice job following his hole getting positive yards it'll be a first down from the 49 yd [Applause] line out of the gun to give to the back he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple man what a spectacular play by that defensive end to come up with the tackle there and you see those guys get off the football so fast most of these guys are 250 to 275 lbs but they get off the ball fast low in the offensive line they have no chance to stop those guys as quick and as fast as they are and he had it for a second but it just dribbled out of his hands on the tight end's a guy that's going to have to be able to make plays for this offense in the passing game that time QB looking for the big fella ran a good route just couldn't reel it in seventh play of the drive coming up but a long way to go on third down from the gun wants to pass he'll take the Deep shot fires into traffic intercepted takes it the other way he'll finally go out of bounds when he was showing off one all the skills after that interception man this is how we do it defensively you go into halftime you make adjustments you talk about we've seen him do this we've seen him do that let's get ready for it let's have a plan plan executed you could tell they knew it was coming but great job defensively forcing an interception right out the gates to start the [Music] second BC has the ball back hoping for a party in in the mods that last touchdown Drive was surgical through the air Jesse it sure was and that's why this offense is so dangerous David because they can score in a hurry because of and he's got it inside the 10 he's brought down but he's got him inside the 10 first goal from the eight that's a beautiful pass and catch I love the job the quarterback does manipulating the defense with his eyes he Froze that safety and that allowed his receiver more room to work his R and that big big Gainer on the last one has him ready to go from inside the 10 motion trying to get the defense to show his hand and there is nothing doing on that one you got the completion and nothing else to show for it love the awareness by the defense here they're trying to get the running back the ball in space but the defense was expecting it they had guys in position they located the football and they went and gain tackled defense rose up deep in its own end on that last play now a second and long [Applause] coming maybe some confusion on the snap count there that's maybe what caused the false start either wayen the officials offer the deal and the coach accepts it they will take the penalty to throw it's castios and the throw to the sideline is complete but won't be enough for the first down you see it more and more smaller wide receivers I don't care about their size I put them in the slot I let them get a good match up they're so quick people can't get their hands on them they make plays and I feed them the football these are guys that have a lot of catches throughout season wants to throw for it on Third and goal and the heat gets there and they get him down at the 14 yd line and listen the quarterback drops back and he's going through his progressions we sees Zone but just couldn't do anything about it this defensive line this pressure getting to the quarterback getting him on the ground they'll send out the kicker here the field absolutely perfect and now the lead is extended a little f [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] that lead just keeps getting fatter in this kickoff team doing a little running hills start the return inside his spot there to make the tackle and with that we'll head to the fourth quarter that's the end of the quarter and Boston College has the lead and they are starting to pull away as we come to the end of the third quarter let's take a look at how we got here as we start the fourth quarter it'll take a pretty sizable comeback to win this one they'd love to put a long drive together here as they start from their own 21 unloads to the wide out makes the grab and the defense makes the immediate tackle but he has enough for the first down here's the deal you're down three possessions you know it doesn't feel likely they're going to come back and win but we've seen crazier stuff happen in college football it all starts with a big completion on a two-minute Drive they'll get the momentum started in your direction he wants to throw with the catch it's Young and the defense had that one well covered just a short game there well here's the problem offensively because you're trailing by so much so late in the game the defense now is going to be playing big Zone coverages and they're going to allow you to throw the ball underneath in the middle of the field rally to make a tackle and bed the clock it's going to be hard now for this offense to claw their way back in this one he wants to throw here on second down fires and picked off and they'll drag him down after a good return on the interception and the senior just snatched the ball out of the air and gave it back to his offense and it's a defensive lineman late in the game man when you know it's pass you're pinning your gears back trying to get to the quarterback and DBS are trying to do this add them stats and get the int nice job by this def BC has it back in the eagle offense returns to the field and to settle for the Chip Shot field goal last time Jesse they'd love for this one to pay off bigger yeah it just comes down to execution too did a nice job out in the field stalled a little bit once they got down to the goal line so they just need to be a little bit more crisp here yeah and listen I think the first part was the most important part you got to put the drive together first to get down there now when we get down there focused on execution and getting six points Boston College wants to play Fast they'll keep it on the ground the clock is on their side they get him on the ground but it's a first down and you know big chunks like this don't happen unless you commit to the Run game you got to get those big boys up front into the game understanding I want to knock people off the football create some holes like you do here for my running back make the game easy they've moved it into scoring territory first and 10 from the [Applause] 11 they'll try the Run not a whole lot of room there three yds maybe second and y second down coming [Music] up going to work in the Red Zone they can pick up the first down without getting it into the end zone [Applause] [Music] from the gun running back gets to give touchdown eagle and The Stomping has commenced wow this offet they have a lot of faith in this running back knowing if they get down in this area of the field he can get it done and he can answer the Bell two rushing touchdowns already ready for this offense [Music] P unit on the field for the extra [Applause] point the kick is up and good and put one more on the lead quick work on that scoring drive justes four plays and it was capped off with the 8- yd run about to kick it away after scoring the touchdown set [Applause] Ki and he takes this from inside the five nice job by the kickoff team everybody stayed in their lanes and they'll stop him at the 16 first down here with time for maybe one more play until the two-minute warning they're going to throw it to start the drive got it in the middle it's young they make the stop trying to pick up just a little bit at a time to get to that first down marker we hit the two-minute warning in this offense is desperate to make something happen and do it in a hurry let's see what they've got on second down he's looking to throw catch in the middle it's Williamson and chunk plays are the name of the game and they get one here before the defense finally makes the stop well this offense has not put their best product on the field today they've got no points to show for any of their effort so far but they've still got a chance but if it's going to happen it has to happen now in this two-minute situation this is where their Playmakers need to step up he's brought down solid pick up but a little bit short of the first down quick timeout call by the offense after the play trying to preserve every minute possible picked up some yardage with that completion now second down he'll just keep slinging it firing to the right complete makes the grab and it's enough for the first down before he's dragged to the ground I just love quarterbacks that aren't greedy and that aren't always trying to throw the Home Run ball right second down you're in your own end of the field the guy you want to throw to is not open just find the bat he'll go do something positive with it this guy is a weapon you got to find him in the passing game he looks that one in nicely and listen the defense playing really conservative right you got the lead but here's what I'm trying to do I'm trying to get sacks I got to get to the quarterback like I got to make sure I'm getting him knocking him off the spot patting my stats by the way got a lot of sacks late in game had a big lead but that's okay that's what you're supposed to do keep competing defense completion a little short of the sticks it's second down he's looking to throw going downfield for the big play got it and they're in for a touchdown late in this game and a nice touchdown continuing to fight continuing to play this one it's pretty much over down multiple possessions this late in the football game it would take a miracle but nice job by this offense continuing to fight push the ball down the field make plays and they'll try to tack on [Applause] two he's looking to throw and he was drilled just as he released the pass it's incomplete [Applause] lining up to cover the kick after that touchdown Drive KI on the run from inside his own five just never had a chance to shake loose and he'll be brought down at the 24 Boston College sending the offense back onto the field looking for room it's Roo final minute this game's on ni they can take a knee and run out the clock this offense has to feel great with how they're able to go out execute and perform big plays all game long I think it's sending a statement to to Future defenses down the road on the schedule they're going to be tough to contend with yeah I mean they got Firepower putting up so many points this thing is easily over now they can just chillax go back to the locker room know they're going to get the victory now they'll try the right side really nice stop there from this senior leader Pi up one [Music] [Applause] [Music]
