take a look at both coaches first Rick stockill stock still making the trip from Murphreesboro Tennessee his first Rec first season as the head coach rather of Middle Tennessee State a seven and3 Mark that is the most amount of Victories for the blue Raiders in 59 years of course he was at Carolina for a couple years Steve Spurrier in his second year with the Gamecocks 12 and 10 now overall he's in the midst of a three-game losing streak the longest that he's had since his days the dke blue vs kickoff is fielded at the one yd line by the blue Raiders and past the 25 and out to the 27 yd line for NTSU is Carlos make it Damon Nixon who we highlighted in the beginning Jared June on the tackle one of the 12 seniors in the ball game here today for Carolina we'll talk about that as the game progresses a man that just returned the kick one of the best kickoff men in the country with an astounding average of nearly 35 yds per kickoff return so if you can keep him inside the 30 you've done your job quit marks a starting quarterback for the blue Raiders a senior out of Fort Meers Florida M Tennessee state starts off with the three wide set the Lefty back fires deep down field has a man caught the 40 the 30 the 20 the 10 the five and do you believe this one play six points touchdown blue Raiders 73 yds 73 yds on the opening play as the pass is complete by Desmond G Desmond G the 5'8 freshman out of Greenville Florida he's a running back by Trey but comes out and finds himself open down the near side line that's incredible Mike what a way to start the game especially coming in to a uh environment as hostile as this one B Smith trying to attempt the extra point he is good and Middle Tennessee State takes 30 seconds to get seven points another look telling you what I mean the offensive line did a great job for him cuz he had plenty of time and he just hits one-on-one coverage and uh he just put the ball where it needed to be over top of his outside shoulder South Carolina's in a man-to-man coverage and the running back just all out just beats uh Stony Woodson here and take it to the house it has been a rough year for Stony Woodson when he has been in position he's deflected a lot of balls into the hands of the opponent this time he's just flat out beat yeah there's not much you can you can say about this one it's just a foot race and he beat him coming out the back field and never caught up how about the throw by Quint Marx that was right on the money hit him instride right in the hands he's fired up and this blue Raider Squad again a team had already hung tough with Louisville one of the top teams in the country for a half before Louisville kind of poured it on in the second half Rick stock still has them believing they are already one of the surprise teams in the country folks so we warned you in the open and we'll continue to do so this is not flid Atlantic this is not your typical 1A cupcake I know Middle Tennessee State doesn't exactly had the sound of a a big time program but they certainly have had a successful year they're trying trying to win the Sun Belt they play Troy next week if they beat Troy they're on to the New Orleans Bowl so uh they're in good shape for a bowl game Carolina needs one more Victory to get to one and a lot of people Circle this game as that sixth win as Captain mland feels it and he is plowed down at the 23 yd line that is JK Sab 511 senior out of austa Georgia the linebacker making the Special Teams tackle Blake Mitchell and Company will come out for the game CS Mitchell 72 of 109 8810 yard but really Blake Mitchell's story this year has been kind of a roller coaster and if you take a look at what he's done in the last six quarters against two of the top teams in the country Arkansas and Florida he's 39 of 54 488 yards two touchdowns one pick again that completion percentage 66% Mitchell with a quick drop five Sydney rice who else 25 spin move at the 28 lunges forward past the 30 and that'll be a gain of about seven yards on First and 10 starting lineup for the game CS led by Chris White in his 39th start for Carolina the weapons that Blake Mitchell will be working with Cory Boyd Mike Davis has banged up look for a lot of Cory Boyd in this ball game as well as Sydney rice and Kenny McKinley really coming on a late d That's Right second down and a short three orbit motion but instead the give is up the middle and that should be a first down for Cory boy blue Raiders starting defense not a whole lot of Headliners on this team although look for the ANS Jones and Mosley couple of sack artists there their linebacking core we already mentioned JK saad's name on a special teams tackle and in the secondary among others Damon Nixon who actually picked off four Louisiana Lafayette passes in one game earlier this year first and 10 from 36 Mitchell drops back Pass Time throws over the middle complete to mckin at the 45 McKinley calls charred loose that's a fumble and Middle Tennessee state has it McKinley got his Bell wrung after the catch looked like he had a had possession and no hesitation by the officiating crew they immediately Market Middle Tennessee state's ball well Mike uh you know Blake's really coming alive the past two games and he kind of steps up here in the pressure and makes a good throw over top of uh underneath coverage and you know Kenny he got he got banged pretty good there in between two Defenders you know Mike today I was I was really excited to see how s Newton and Blake were going to respond to the loss last week I spoke with sevel brief before the game and you know just saying you know it's the end is here before you know it and when you come in as a freshman 5 years goes by um so quickly that you're playing your last game before you know it and you got to say oh I got to leave everything out on the field this is the last time I ever play on this field so I'm excited to see what sevel does today and also with Blake just he's come alive so far this season and uh you know his first pass of the games has been a completion and let let's face it Josh let's be honest about things I think a lot of people were concerned about a Florida hangover the way this team lost a week ago in Gainesville such a great game finished by a rather sickening uh third blocked kick and so senior day early game still thinking about that for game perhaps uh Carolina has not looked sharp here in the early going as the blue Raiders have been Stak to an early s nothing lead pass right side and weaving his way past Midfield into Carolina territory is Eugene gross we'll talk a lot about that man Jordan Lindsay on the tackle gross their leading carrier as we take a look at the starting lineup for the blue Raiders the offensive line led by the anchor to Center Paul Cantrell a senior out of Georgia it is a running team to say the least Eugene gross we're going to call his name a bunch of times today Mississippi uh or rather Middle Tennessee state is one of the worst passing teams in the country but that is large part due to the fact that they've been able to run on everybody thus far this year rose already has 825 yards on the season he gets it again tries to spin his way out of trouble he'll be right near the first down marker which is at the 48 for the Gamecocks defensively with all the talk of Jasper Brinkley's twin brother Casper has quietly had a very solid year n and 1 12 tackles for loss of course Jasper Brinkley one of the top tacklers in the SEC 77 be exact and the secondary led by Fred Bennett and Josh we were talking about this before the break Fred Bennett and all SEC candidate but he hasn't had an interception since week two that's right Mike he's uh been struggling this year and there's a couple big plays that have been the determining factor for that Casper Brinkley three sacks to go along with those n and a half tackles for loss they'll try to be in that blue Raider Back Field throughout the day somebody got in the back there it's his brother Jasper trips up Eugene gross no gain on the play Chris Hampton is in the game at safety right now svel Newton not out on the field at the moment although that's going to change right now as the substitutions come in on second down cook will join him in the secondary that man Jasper Brinkley but where' this defense be without him he is a great player for the Carolina defense second down 10 yds to go Clint marks and the blue Raiders going to work out of a shotgun here on a three wide formation Carolina rushing four seven back in coverage the Lefty triggers and misses wide outside that ball nowhere close might have been a mixup on the route and they'll set up a third down along Bobby Williams 63 sophomore the intended target he leads the team with 29 receptions on the a well I tell you what Mike being with Coach stock still last year and him being on the staff of Carolina the odds are in Middle Tennessee's fate right now he knows fer he knows his offense he knows the defense and he he is a smart enough guy to where he knows where to hurt Carolina and not only that he knows each individual player third and 10 back to pass Bo he had sap on him pass is deflected by Fred Bennett incomplete Casper Brinkley was applying some pressure there and Casper and Jasper the stars of that drive well Carolina got great pressure um on the quarterback Marks here to flush him out of the pocket that was uh was that Casper or Jasper Casper Casper I get confused all the time but anyways flushed out made him made him uh make a throw on the r F which is probably not not the likelihood of a throw that coach Doon wants on about every other play you could just say Brinkley and you'll be the odds will be in your favor that you're right it's one of the Brinkley boys are making a play the Kinley trying to make a play on the punt return but spun down quickly at the 12 Sean Mosley on the stop Gamecock ball when we return 1019 to go first quarter it's the blue Raiders seven the game CS nothing Professor I'm Sarah from Wednesday's physics class Miss Evans third row about our assignment yes there is no proof yet correct no definitive answer right so our search is for the questions exactly exactly hey did you know an SEC soccer player runs over 5 miles in one match wow a softball team does over a th000 loads of laundry a season holy cow a football team's fans can eat over 40,000 hot dogs at one home game that's a lot of hot dogs there's more cool stuff to find out at SEC kids.com read about your favorite teens play funfilled games and check out way cool stuff like how you can become an SEC champion this s's incredible SEC kids.com it's awesome well false start penalty on Middle Tennessee State will back up five as Rick Stock's crew will repun here hcock should get better field position out of it mckenley parked at the 15 a wobbly kick fielded at the 15 is absolutely clber right there and we hear some bruze the fans have been tired of shoty punt returns and kick returns all year long that's not McKinley's fault nobody blocking there Josh no and that was a very very close close call here I mean I don't even think he had the ball for more than half a second now that's that's um that's tough right there I mean Kenny did a great job we are not even through the first quarter and this kid has been banged around four different plays in a row I just hope he can last the game yeah no kidding it's been a it's been a tough five minutes for McKinley Josh you had a chance to play for Rick stock steel when he was here at Carolina for a couple of years just just talk about the man he just a very very great guy and on top of that very personable and relates very very well to the players he has not only been at Clemson but also at Carolina so he knows the state very well he's been recruiting coordinators for both schools so right there that just goes to show you that he's got the personal skills to relate to players now the advantage that he has against us is that he knows each individual player and knows their talent level which helps his team out tremendously a lot of these players dressed in Garnet recruited by one rich stock still Mike Weston of the game for the first time today this to right side and the hole is plugged quickly after a couple of yards Marcus Brandon a senior linebacker out of Clarksville Tennessee on the stop [Music] yeah that was a a great hit by number 39 here coming up boy boy trying to elude him and spin around and get the extra couple yards second down and six yards Boyd the lone back Mitchell under Chris White the center and is 39 start for Caroline another Quick Pass play to a good block from West on the outside tripped up at the 25 and surges forward to about the 27 yd line that will be a first down Damon Nixon helps bring him down you know being coach fur you have to go to this kid he makes so many things happen so what do you do you throw two two quick screens to him and let him get 10 yards a pop on it I mean we're going to he's saying we're going to force Middle Tennessee to come up and play him and uh you know Sydney's beating so many people with the fade and just jumping over top of them and making great catches that he he's using this play now it's the same pass play that they used all day long against Florida Gator really never adjusted and right now TR off of rice again Mitchell just beats the game clock or play clock gets it off to Cory boy on what might have been an audible gain of about three to the right side it'll be second and seven Eric Walden with the tackle he's the alltime Middle Tennessee State sack leader with 16 let tell you what my Koy boy is a man he is just a flat out man and playing with him he is such a tough Runner as you see he doesn't go down easily one guy usually doesn't take KY Boyd down Boyd this time Runs Out to the left side as a receiver Mitchell seven step drop looking deep and not there as McKinley could not get past Bradley Robinson on the coverage this time Blake had make be forced to make a throw quick got some pressure from the Middle Tennessee defense and uh kind of got banged in there by his own offensive lineman2 we'll see this this today from the past two games how aive Blakes come and see if he can carry on that Swagger that he has so far third down and six for the game catch Jared Cook into the game at receiver Carina sends out five throw it's complete pass the 40 pass the 45 and it'll be another first down for the game Cox and there is Jared Cook it's been a while since he's caught a pass Reggie ducet and on the tackle sure has been Jared Cook is one of those kids that is Young and is still going to be a huge impact on the offense in later years he's a just a big kid and a lot of people compared him last last season when he got register red sharded to Sydney rice just jumping over people making catches and hopefully he can come through and be that kind of receiver for Carolina just the fifth catch of the year for cook Mitchell already four of five Guns Over the middle complete McKinley stol it away at the 30 makes a couple of moves it's popping drop from behind at the 32 well Kenny McKinley might suffer a handful of concussions before this game is over I'm going to tell you what coach uh spur Jr has really EMP icid how tough of a kid Kenny is making it actually takes the ball away from the Middle Tennessee guy and throws him down backs away getes him down now a guy comes from behind and just Nails him and I'm telling you like you said if he doesn't suffer some injury by the end of this game he is one tough individual out wrestling Bradley Robinson for the football gain of 21 Mitchell goes over the middle from M keny again and this time let him a little bit too far Kenny got one hand on it but couldn't haul it in Damon Nixon The Talented safety for the blue Raiders on the coverage you know coach buer looking at this right now being second and 10 on the 32 would not like to come away from from this drive with the field goal I think he's flat out tired of field goals uh um you know Ryan suck up is a great tool yeah for him but there just comes to a point where you got to say we got to get the ball in the end zone still one of the most amazing St to me this year a Steve perer offense offense dead last in the SEC and red zone offense they're not quite in the Red Zone yet trying to get there here on second and 10 Mitchell fires complete at the 21 yd line short pass there to Mo Brown make of Freddy Brown Freddy Brown's really picked up his play red shirt freshman of Duncan played for burn high school and Blake is just coming alive I'm telling you this is a great pass putting it right in the pocket right to where that Defender can't get to it and Freddy Brown can catch the ball and Freddy Brown's not one to be talked about like a Sydney rice but is doing his fair share of receiving this year well he's become that number three guy Josh that this team has sorely lacked for most of the Year Mo Brown still on the field as Freddy Brown takes a break Civil Right CES at the 20 tries to change direction at the 17 but an ankle tackle will bring him down Cy trying to make a little make one too many things happen there and uh coach sper explaining his frustration with him he said just hit it up the sideline right here don't dance don't take it back to the middle of the field where the rest of the defense is hit it up the sideline where you got a scene and make something happen Damon Nixon holding on for dear life to stop him Sydney rice coming into this game with 50 catches seven touchdowns he's already on top of the leaderboard all time in a number of statistical categories Mitchell to the end zone dropped dropped the penalty flag on the play Mike West had it in his hands could not hold on would have been six let's find out what the penalty marker is all about Mike West who was used sparingly for the first half of the Year they' gotten him involved more here in the second half holding Defense number eight against an eligible receiver before the pass was thrown 10 yard penalty from the previous spot automatic first down well that really helps out Carolina's offense take another look Blake dropping back and delivering a good ball just Mike West couldn't hold on to it as away from West Jonathan Harris number eight Blake still receiving a lot of pressure from the Middle Tennessee def defense getting frustrated he's delivering throws but the guy didn't make the catch for him and as Andy boy just enters the game he jumps early but I don't even know if the referee whistled the ball ready to go so that's not even a penalty Andy Boyd very anxious to make something happen hey Boyd actually caught a pass against Florida that was the first time he caught a pass since the opener against Central Florida a year ago Boyd spins out a one tackle before being brought down to the turf at the seven it'll be second down first down marker is actually at the one yd line Justin rainy senior out of Rock Hill makes the tackle Rock Hill South Carolina boys even if they're overlooked by the hometown States a number of them have made Journeys elsewhere you know uh Co Simpson was a Rock Hill boy as well Co Simpson Jonathan Joseph George has had a few talented guys from Rock Hill including the tight end Ben Watson second down and six boy trying to dance out of trouble Wows forward to the five it's going to be four yd shy of a first down five yd shy of a touchdown you know this is where coach fer is getting frustrated because he wants to just punch the ball in there this is not the actual fe uh part of the field where he is able to utilize a passing game because he's so so close to the end zone and um you know you can see his frustration right now just want to punch it in there third down and timeout call want to make sure everybody's on the right page 4 minutes 8 seconds remaining in the first quarter game Cops trailing by seven but threatening here in Columbia [Music] in your foundation doors and windows that stick chimney leaning away from your home structure then

punches it into the end zone Cory Boyd second and third effort gets him in promis land that was all Cory as he had to break free from a couple of wouldbe tacklers including Bradley Robinson boy too strong too powerful and the game Cuts have six on the board yeah that's that's what I'm talking about with Coy boy being a strong long Runner you can break two three tackles and still get five yards when nobody blocks for him so suck up on to kick the extra point he is Wallace this year 20 of 20 now on the pat another look another look here and there breaks one tackle and breaks two tackles break three tackles and he gets in and uh he's just a tough Runner he's just give the ball just ISO off tackle and he's just one of those guys you just enjoy to have I mean that was a great job of putting his hand down Cory Boyd with his fifth rushing touchdown of the Year tied at seven and we're back in a moment on CSS I've been up and I've been down what I loves in Athens town I love the red I love the black is what I'm wearing all my back B down you want to dress like a dog fan too B down then this is all you got to do just get online dog.net there's everything you want to get the do dog.net everything for the dog except fleas Professor I'm Sarah from Wednesday's physics class Miss Evans third row about our assignment yes there is no proof yet correct no definitive answer right so our search is for the questions exactly exactly well South Carolina got off to a slow start in this game and the Gamecocks tying it up with an impressive drive 12 plays 85 yards 6 minutes and 5 Seconds off the clock capped off by the Cory Boyd touchdown run and that's the kind of Drive Steve Spurrier has seen more and more of here in the last few weeks long sustained drives as a kick off the SC at the five to the 20 beautiful tackle there by Lindsay stopped at the 23 yd line Damon Nixon he told you how dangerous he is but not there averaging over 35 yards a kick off the turn but Jordan Lindsay stopped him in his tracks that's right uh uh the whole kickoff team from Carolina did a great job right there of uh eluding the kick return blockers and and coming up making a great tackle on the dangerous return man let's see how the blue Raiders respond now momentum shift here late in the first quarter of play staggered eye look give it to gross big hole up the middle PS one of the officials and give the guy the stripe Jersey The Tackle there that was actually DeMarco MCM the backup running back and MCM wasn't expecting the official to make the tackle he was expecting the official to get out of the way and uh what do you do with Middle Tennessee you run the ball and you get back to basics but can't do much when the referee gets in the way that was a good hit got right back up too like it was nothing I think that was the Umpire usually he's the guy that finds himself in a lot of traffic sing of traffic trouble on the hand off ball goes to the ground but the blue Raiders do recover it McNair on another carry here that's uh Carolina defense starting to smell a little blood now now we have two kind of plays that haven't gone middle Tennessee's way and now they're trying to get where they can actually make a stand on their defense and begin to shut them down third down 6 yds to go B at the 27 yd [Applause] line Brinkley showing Blitz on the edge the Carolina brings it quick pass play incomplete glint Mark saw the blitz coming and Rush the throw so the blue Raiders will be forced to punt the football that was just a seemed like a miscommunication or or the quarterback didn't know exactly what was going on uh with Middle Tennessee and threw it to where he thought the receiver was going to be and ended up not being there kby Smith on to punt it away averaging 40.9 per punt Tak a bounce at the 35 and goes out of bounds M kimley had no chance to recover that one as too many white jerseys racing atam so good field position for the Gamecock with a minute 55 remaining in the first quarter of play tied at seven Blake Mitchell off to a good start for Carolina seven of nine 90 yards he's been incredibly accurate here we go back to the second half of that Arkansas game when he put on a clinic and then that Florida game Steve furer said that's the best game I play Mitchell has played in his career and hard to argue he was been he was uh just so precise against one of the top defenses in America first down and 10 from the 33 Mitchell jumps it out the back four boy SPS at the 40 moves at Midfield Boyd breaks out of another tackle Boyd still on his feet Boyd Cuts back at the 25 boy at the 20 Boy Inside the 15 and Mark it down best run of the Year hands down oh man this plays got out of their seat quick didn't they Mike what an incredible run 52 yards and let's take another look this one will be worth looking at again oh what a great play call a screen linan downfield Cory just he's just jking people out of their shoes they don't know what to do I mean I don't know what to say he just broke so many tackles right there he might have broke all 11 Defenders tackles on the way to the in I'm with you Josh I don't think words can really describe that play incredible moves by Cory Boyd out Taylor rank with a rare carry you remember Taylor rank he had over 100 yards against flid Atlantic but we haven't seen him since that's right that's right well I guess when you got somebody like KY Boyd uh that makes a run just like he did I uh don't think you'd see too much of Taylor R you saw it Cory Boyd was averaging 10 yards of reception that that number is going to be augmented just a bit a 52 y if you join us late Mike Davis out of this game so Taylor rank getting an opportunity that's him sprinting to the bottom of your screen lined up at receiver Mitchell in the pocket throws touchdown Andy Boyd his fourth career catch three of them now B touchdowns there's Andy Boyd for you coming coming through when it counts like you say not making very many catches but catching the ball when it's thrown to him but he's really struggled with injuries though Mike and he's a kid that deserves it because you can ask any coach on the coaching staff and he is one of the hardest working individuals on the team he found his way into the end zone wide open as the extra point is true and the Gamecocks Take the Lead 14-7 and we'll keep it here Josh you hard to argue with the uh the ratio for Andy Boy the guy makes four catches and three of them in the end zone you know I can't really remember Mike going back to throwing the ball to the tight end I mean even this season even with sper and even going back before sper got here with uh Skip and Lou they never threw the ball at the tight end either so it's just uh tight end is rare to come by for Carolina to throw the ball to yeah I nearly fell out of my seat last week calling the Gamecock game against Florida and you had two catches by two different tight ends pavic caught a ball and Boyd caught a ball but that is very rare as you uh see the scoring Drive lot quicker than the last one just three plays a minute 43 off the clock Andy Boyd 15 yds on the touchdown reception but is Steve spur really has never used the tight end much going back to Duke in Florida either so you've got a coach that doesn't have a history of using the tight end and a program that hasn't used a tight end in a long time right but the element of surprise working wonders there beautiful day here in Columbia temperatures in the upper 50s Nothing But Sunshine and blue skies as the Gamecocks trying to pick up Victory number six get that elusive Bowl eligibility Andy Boyd you played with him Josh good kid yeah he's a great kid you know really been hassled by those me I tell you he's Tor him and Tor I think the same one again here's Nixon again from the goal line Nixon finds the lane as he often does penalty flag comes down late as Nixon still on his feet finally spun down that's going to be a face mask at the 37 yd line so two penalties one's going to be on the blue Raiders and then the face mask on Carolina as we go to break and get ready for quarter number two another look at the magical feet of one Cory [Applause] [Music] boy at BMW we build the ultimate driving machine [Music] while other car companies may try to duplicate it the original is always better than the copy the BMW 5 [Music]

Tyrone Nicks the defensive coordinator always working on the sideline very animated nobody would ever accuse him as being an introvert down there hun on the way McKinley has to rush forward the field at the 37 and will be stacked up at the 43 yd line Jonathan Parts on the tackle another penalty flag on the play we can't get a special teams playoff without seeing a hanky throw into the field it looks like they're going to Signal they're going to decline it coach do still is not very happy with this team and a special teams play right now it's one phase that you cannot let up on um if you're coming in trying to win this game here's the call illegal motion the wide out the kicking team 5y penalty will be enforced at the end of the return first down one of the new rules in college football football you can take it on the return that's what Carolina will do as we head to break game CS up by seven on CSS when it comes to going ball you now have a choice advances in medical science have

almost caught Anyway by Sydney rice Nixon on the coverage yeah great field position starting off and Coach fer you know wants to see if he can take a shot for the End Zone but Sydney was double covered and on top of that Blake under threw the ball so didn't really work out in the favor of Carolina but you were saying during the break there you thought Spurrier would go for the jugular on the first play and it looks like that was the plan yep like I said coach stock still he knows furer and each individual player well enough to know that's what he would do now with a four wide look Mitchell under a lot of pressure a penalty flag and a sack as the Middle Tennessee State able to get in on that offensive line looked like holding on the interior on personal foul let go use some hands to the face 97 from the defense 15 yd penalty from the previous spot automatic first down wow big break there yeah that's a Trevor Jenkins sophomore at of Mak look here's a lot of pressure looks like they came with a a defensive uh or Corner Blitz but didn't really get a good look on the uh illegal use of hands to the face and Coach do feels like he's getting uh the shaft on a lot of these calls so far well that is five penalties called against Middle Tennessee State now for 40 yards the Gamecocks have not had a penalty called against yet first down and 10 Boyd tries the left side breaks a tackle trying to break fre again but this time extra support by the MTSU defense drops him down game one it would be nice for Carolina to go in the locker room you know 14 21-point lead and uh come out and establish themselves in the second half and let them know that they're going to come out to play and you know are determined to win this game to get a B bur Freddy Brown into the game bottom of your screen game CS again work the ey formation behind Mitchell it's coming Mitchell going deep has rice rice SPS turns around and can't hold on that ball was under thrown again rice had to put on the brakes tries to make another Sensational catch but could not hold on I tell you if Blake puts that ball on his outside shoulder that that's a touchdown and um that's the second time now that he hasn't uh deliver the ball to Sydney where it needs to be right there puts the ball over his outside shoulder it' be touchdown but under throws him and you know there might have been some contact but uh the ball was in a place where it was able the the defense and the offense to get to it so it's kind of like a fair ball and they going to make that kind of call A lot of times the officials they're not going to give you the benefit of the doubt if the the balls under thrown like that Mitchell from the pocket throws complete on the 20 the 15 the 10 the five R Dives and he gets the call touchdown Carolina 21 career touchdown receptions for Sydney rice 37 yds was a great thrown Ball by Blake Mitchell he put that ball on the money and he put it on the money before Sydney had actually got to where the ball needed to be delivered to so that was a great play now and uh what has become mandate now slow up the game for the replay because it it might be a huge call if he was out of Bounds at the 3-in line as opposed to the goal line so let's slow up the game let's stop let's uh pretend like this game had any momentum whatsoever and let's take 2 minutes of our time to review it another look Josh you know Blake stepping up he had some pressure there like I said he had to throw the ball where where Sydney was going to be and not where he was and I don't know about you but it looked like he was in the end zone to me coming off the ball and that was a you know right there was a great confusion Play Good call by coach fer and Blake throwing a good ball and Sydney doing a great job of getting the ball in the end zone the field judge there Michael Williams Willam made the call he was right there of course he had to leave his feet to avoid being tackled by Sydney rice but again I I just I've been critical about this all year long Josh I think replay has a place in college football I don't think it's to review plays like this no I I I I agree with you you know the this is not a determining play in the game and this just like you said the play Stand is caught on the field touchdown there we go they should listen to us more often well they should the guy who's operating the the replay system is looking at our views provided by CSS the old DB Sports system so maybe they were listening listening to us crying Uncle here to just stop reviewing every single minuscule call of the game they suck up was getting some target practice three of three now on the day gc's now up by two touchdowns 21-7 853 remaining in the first half of play and we'll be back from Williams Bryce in just a moment Professor I'm Sarah from Wednesday's physics class Miss Evans third row about our assignment yes there is no proof yet correct no definitive answer right so our search is from questions exactly exactly eight of the world's top light heavyweights face off at Gulf Stream Park December 14th in the first of a five fi elimination series that will Crown a new IBA champion who will have the heart the will the drive and courage to remain standing and be crowned the next King of the Ring the race to the title begins December 14th at Gulf Stream Park don't miss Rumble in the park tickets available through Ticket Master it's not a battle it's a war due to time constraints we now move forward in the action course they only give you credit for it if you do it legally yeah well big third down here for Carolina Mike third and 29 play action marks last time triggers and misses so it'll be fourth down and now Middle Tennessee State will pun passend Desmond G again emanel cook was there you get nervous when you see Carolina defense on Third and long because that's been a trouble spot all season long Steve Spurrier has been very critical of his defense's inability to stop teams on Third and 15 third and 21 and that was a third and 29 Carina who knows look for Kenny to get a good return here here I mean if he can get a hit get a good good uh catch on this P McKinley has to back up 10 yds to field it all the way to the 42 gets a block from cook turns it outside steps out of bounds I believe penalty flags all over the place flag on the can't tell if they marked them out of bounds or not no they're going to give him that extra yardage but it's not going to matter much because three flags go at the same time during the return illegal Block in the back number 31 receiving team 10yd penalty from the spot of the foul first down you're going to see gerro Sinclair on this penalty no this is just so frustrating not only for a fan but the co the coach ladies and gentlemen a reminder that there will be no if the player is not in front leave him alone let the returner try and beat the coaches try to stress that so much to the players but the players just get so hung up on their guy making the tackle it's an 18yd penalty the first one of the day on Carolina gamec football when we return Carolina leading at 217 tune in for sports night kind of have that add thing to where I can't really pay attention that well I might as well just drop out so I bounced from like foster home to foster home dropped out of high school my junior year I was hanging out with some people now I realize I shouldn't have they join gangs start doing drugs try to sell drugs it distracts you from everything around you you're always having to watch your back you can't really be yourself the one person who really got me to go back into school was my mom my mother my parents were the people that helped me the most I need them to know that it really does help me that they're there for [Music] me the Charleston Angler is the Premier saltwater and fly fishing tackle shop and we're proud to announce the opening of our second location in Mount Pleasant Town

Specialists the Charleston [Music] Ang stadium in Columbia Mike Morgan Josh brown with you as the handoff goes up the middle and that's Bobby Wallace who uh we've seen sparingly this year sophomore out of Conway South Carolina yeah Bobby Wallace is one of those guys that hadn't really seen the field very much but still young and uh I think you know he's still trying to develop as a college athlete and he is not the biggest guy out there but he's got to understand that he can still uh outplay them nine yds on that carry penalty flag on the play as Mitchell looking deep and it's in complete intended for Rice who was in the middle of double coverage there including Reggie ducet of Middle Tennessee State and now a player down on the field and that is duet that's actually Damon Nixon on the ground ducet was in on the coverage with Nixon but first the penalty offsides number 25 5yd penalty first down five yds will give him a first down we'll look at the replay here and looks like has landed funny on o yeah definitely uh got his leg kind of bent back over top of him yeah he looks like he's going to be all right I thought was coach do and say you're all right son we need you on the kick returns Nixon was the Bronco nersi National player of the week after picking off four passes against Louisiana Lafayette did you ever win the Bronco nersi award uh I sure didn't he also won the Walter Camp award there's so many awards out there now I can't keep up first down and 10 from the 42 Mitchell goes to the left side McKenry while slipping makes the catch sliding in safely at the 27 yd lineis and duet on the cover Blake Mitchell just delivering a good ball here and putting the ball where the Defenders can't get it you know it was low but it was supposed to be low because both Defenders on each side of Kenny well thrown Ball by Blake Blake Mitchell working some more magic here today 11 out of 15 209 yds two touchdowns Carolina dominating a first down category in this game as Wallace goes out to the left side Mitchell Pass Time pump fake now go going long for Rice jump ball rice PS it down touchdown unbelievable Sydney rice had no business making that catch but somehow he does what a clay you know you keep going to him going to him going to him and looking at that play before the ball even got to Sydney you were saying oh no but of course going against my word Sydney makes a tremendous play and come down with the ball 27 yds on the hookup as another extra point successful for Ryan suck up 28-7 now Carolina leads as Sydney rice starting to heat up Blake just drops back and pump fakes once and then would to deliver the ball early so Sydney can adjust to it and oh oh man in traffic and everything this kid has got everything as a receiver and I think a lot of people in Colombia are so happy that this past week he's announced that he's coming back next year yeah that's the news of the week in one of the bigger news flashes of the year as nobody wants to see number four go anywhere nine touchdowns on the year now for the sophomore out of Gap me South Carolina and Mitchell starting to find the Rhythm he's got three touchdown passes 12 out of 16 remember Mitchell wasn't able to kind of Pat up some stats against the likes of Florida Atlantic he was out that ball game but uh Middle Tennessee State more formidable defense not SEC caliber perhaps but I'm sure Blake's glad to be out there and be able to take some chances you saw sevel talking to uh Sydney uh a second ago uh I think the comments from sevel were uh he didn't understand why Sydney wouldn't come out this year and uh we need to talk to ceville and let him know that he needs to keep that to himself that's that's not exactly a great recruiting speech so stay put as her suck up kickoff goes back into the end zone un returnable it'll be blue Raider football with 3 minutes 40 seconds remaining in this first half of play blue Raiders took the early lead seven to nothing then McKinley fumble gave the ball back but since then Carolina has dominated in fact since that touchdown pass just 35 yds of total offense for Marks and Company first and 10 from the 20 gross the Deep back they'll feed him tries to change directions at the 20 gets a couple yards on the second effort Jasper Brinkley another tackle you know Middle Tennessee going back to the first quarter you know uh they couldn't afford to make the penalties on the kickoff and jump off sides and uh the meaningless stuff you know contributes to what 21 points now that they have to make up and lost the momentum and haven't gained it back radic back in the game the quarterback that fell R earlier other hand off the gross Hest game will set up a third and long this going to be a big third down here for Carolina if they can stop him here and get another score I bet coach fer would just can walk into the lock room Tickle Pink don't you Mike absolutely 287 it's been a while since this team has enjoyed that kind of lead going into the half we've had so many nail biters for you this year marks the starting quarterback returns to the field passing situation here looks like the Carolina's going to play man here Mike three wide set marks pressure from behind pass is deflected incomplete but another penalty clap we've had a ton of penalties in this game blue Raiders have already been penalized seven times make it eight of course you could decline this one too illegal motion offense penalty has declined fourth down that one will be decline so that one won't go officially as a penalty but don't tell Rick stock still that it's not another bad play his team has made a number of mental errors particularly in this second quarter and uh going back to uh the quarterback he's doing a lot of what Blake did early in the year and that's Telegraph his pass that means looking too long on one side of the field or one receiver and throwing the ball here's the punt by Smith McKinley Fields it at the 44 has a lane to the outside and picks up about 11 12 yd nicely done by the sophomore that of Mableton Georgia K Danny McKinley the first and 10 1 minute 48 seconds Carolina has two first and from the certainly plenty of time to do some damage here if you like yeah I I would uh I would see coach barer spacing out his his timing here with the offense and trying to get a score right at the end of the half there's no time left on the clock Taylor ranked the lone back Jared Cook is in the slot up top Mitchell seven step drop penalty flag Falls passes complete to 882 that's Freddy Brown gain of nine but let's see if it [Music] stands by the time this game is over that man the referee is going to have laryngitis another procedure penalty this time on the game Cuts Jeff Roberson he's had a lot to say feel like of the formation offense 78 was not on the line scrimmage guard penalty still first down that's Justin Sorenson for a while there was good for about a penalty a game but he's really picked up his play since gaining that starting role at the right Tackle Spot Justin senson has improved dramatically as an offensive lineman first and 15 Mitchell Quick Pass play complete to mckenley and McKinley wrapped up just shy the first down 14 yds on that game great play here uh called by coach buer just a quick screen to Kenny and if you think about this middle Tennesse is backed up way off on their coverage thinking there's going to be a deep ball to Sydney here but a completely the opposite comes out of Coach fer runs a quick screen lets them run for 10 15 yd game yep gcox will burn their second time out here a minute five remaining in the first half a reminder coming up at the half we will have a visit South Carolina head basketball coach Dave odm as well as the Athletics director Eric Heyman and both gentlemen have something to celebrate B odm Squad picking up an upset Victory against Southern Cal over there on the Left Coast and of course Eric Heyman announcing a couple days ago the university is ready to put forth their facilities plan to the tune of about $200 million and that will include the new baseball stadium for 2008 as well as we'll have an addition of this football stadium at Williams Bryce the north Endzone we have an upper deck and some new suits had a chance to see some of those uh drawings of all the new facilities and got to tell you they look great very excited about what the future entails for this campus and for the facilities of this program and we'll talk to those gentlemen particularly about that a great future to look forward to for the Athletics of Carolina and uh Eric I'm doing a great job so far speaking of a great job that's what Blake Mitchell has done pretty impressive numbers here in the first half three receivers set here Mitchell drops back seven Mitchell go right into the hands and then out of the hands of Roy poite that should have been picked off think Mitchell thought somebody was going to be there but there was no one there in a garnet Jersey yeah Blake did he looked at that he looked at uh I believe it was Kenny coming across the middle too long he's wait wait wait waiting and then the opposite corner from the other side of the Field's coming across making a play on the ball I mean he's got to he's got to learn to look away go to a second and third receivers and not stare down one guy the whole time third down and a yard Noah whide in the game for Carolina Mitchell feeds Taylor rank rank nothing doing too much pressure coming right through the interior of the line for Taylor rank to do anything there oh I thought we were going to be able to see a uh long field goal here by suck up but uh looks like coach sper wants to wants to go for it on fourth down always thinking like a kicker oh you got to you you were looking at let's see well if it was at the 40 it be 5 56 Y which would be one yard longer than his career long and I certainly believe he can do it most definitely Mitchell Under Pressure blz coming and he's got nowhere to run nowhere to hide popped and dropped by all the way back near Midfield Damon Nixon ring in so Carolina turns it over on down great defensive plate call here by Middle Tennessee and uh they just they brought the house Damen Nixon coming through untouched bring Blake down this is where the timing rules really hurts Middle Tennessee State a year ago on the change of possession the clock would stay stopped but because of the new rules Rick stock still had to just burn a timeout that does leave him with two but uh years ago well the history of college football I guess you wouldn't have to call a timeout in the spot so 17 seconds left if you're thinking about long field goal tries the kicker for the blue Raiders is Colby Smith his long is 42 yds and you'd have to get to the 25 yd Line to Line it up from there one of the things we're going to talk about Josh I think people will look forward to hearing your thoughts everybody is still trying to figure out last week how this team had three kicks blocked would certainly turned out to be the difference in the game definitely want to get your thoughts on that in the second half Quint marks going to work from the gun gross to his left and motion it's only fitting at the first half would have at least another penalty before we go to intermission we've already had nine that have not been declined good ball start offense number 54 5yd penalty remains first down that's Franklin Dunbar The Tackle sophomore at of wake Cross Georgia started 15 games in a row for Middle Tennessee State so first down and 15 and there eight penalties now it's first and 15 Middle Tennessee [Music] still 17 seconds remaining in the first half the Lefty rolls out completes the pass at the 45 and out of bounds in Carolina territory is number 13 ton Henry First Catch of the Day for Henry 15th catch of the year I mean you never know Middle Tennessee coach M's philosophy is he never wants to kneel the ball because you never know what's going to happen on a run play mhm and same thing goes for this you know this you never know what's going to happen on a short pass play 11 seconds now another short pass play as they get out of bounds Bobby Willams St 4 seconds Bobby Williams catchon bag on the tackle he got his first career start today at linebacker Cody Wells is out with a torn biceps muscle which I've never had but sounds like one of the most painful injuries on the face of the AG [Music] the so it's first and 10 from the 40 but more importantly Just 4 seconds left time here for just a a Hail Mary trips to the right hand side let see what kind of arm hit marks has here nope joke crit's going to shuck it up there that's if he gets it off buys some time Shucks it from Midfield ball is knocked down the way things have gone you were waiting for a secondary man for Carolina to tip it up in the air sell Newton was back there so that's how the first half comes to a close a first half dominated by the game cucks Carolina makes a 287 lead in an intermission [Music] call Jennifer display map 72° the newly refined

digital voice it's Comcast second half getting underway as the kickoff to the game cuts on the return it's Captain mland finds some room down the far sideline and is knocked out of Bounds at the 35 first statistics first half stats here looking uh USC has dominated the game ever since the first play of the game and has really come alive here in the passing game with 250 yards and uh come through on third down uh where there been a spot the Carolina hasn't come through uh in a lot of ball games so far this season so the game with good field position Blake Mitchell had a solid first half little pitch left hand side middle Cory boy breaks it back up the middle for a gain of about eight yards Cory boy seven carries 24 yds in the first half and that 152 yd reception and then Taylor Rank and Bobby Wallace seeing some duties in the second quarter HC have dominated this game since that opening play for a touchdown by the blue Raiders here's Boyd probing the left side musling forward gra white jerseys with him and that'll be a first down what a great asset to have when you're team poy boy is just such a tough Runner I mean I I can't say any and stress this enough is how tough he is and having making two three Defenders bring him down in that case it was like five or six but still it's just he's a great asset to the offense and being able to hand the ball off to him and get five yards popped Gamecocks running the football 13 times for 35 yds passing for 250 yds this far Mitchell's going to try to add to that total here looks inmet to Jared Cook past the 30 and all the way out to the 27 yd line Second Catch of the Day for cook who has been held in check for about the last five or six weeks Blake dropping back and very comfortable look at the just the Poise that he has stepping up in the pocket and delivering a great ball over top of the linebacker to Jared Cook and like you said Mike Jared Cook one of those unspoken there for a long time in the season coming through today with two big catches 26 yards on the hookup Mitchell G to feed Boyd again Boyd off right tackle makes a cut at the 21 it's forward to the 20 gain of about seven before JK Saad brings him down Mike um me being a player and might able to look back and see the past 5 years we have never had a team like Middle Tennessee that we could you know maybe gain our confidence every single year we've had to play I think the stretch was Tennessee Arkansas Florida and Clemson now those four games right in a row you know aren't the easiest certainly a lot to ask as Boyd tripped up inside the 20 Gamecock with another Red Zone opportunity yeah I personally like the way this game fell on the schedule now a couple things had to happen for this to come through and of course the relationship with Rick stockel and another guy we haven't really talked about so far today that the Athletics director for MTSU was Chris masaro who was with the University of South Carolina for 20 years Boyd a power run right behind the left side of that offensive line first down in charge of a lot of things here including tickets for a number of years was an associate athletic director as well and uh was a great opportunity for him and uh that when the opportunity came when the opening came on the schedule masaro and Eric hman were able to work it out and that's how this game got placed on the schedule now nobody anticipated MTSU would come in here with seven wins right you know their highest total in over a half century first and 10 from the 13 It's Boyd again a big serving of Cory Boyd on this drive inside the 10 I think coach prer is going to do it the oldfashioned way and just try to wear down the defense and run the ball in Jonathan Presley with the tackle Cory Boyd 12 carries Now 50 yds and a score Freddy Brown will Sub in for the Gamecock receiving core you know coach stockville has got to be frustrated coming in and being uh such a great record and Performing so well during the season season and then come in and have a performance like today has just got to be disappointing Mitchell to rank and rank is swallowed up in a hurry good surge on middle Tennessee's part including Lon Clemens 61 214 lb sophomore out of milleville Georgia yeah the defensive line just blew by our our offensive line and uh came in and rank had nowhere to run so that sets up a third down and eight yds to go Mitchell will work from the gun no Sydney rice on the field right now for Carolina Mitchell has to throw it away and that ball barely reaches the line of scrimmage remember it has to they're going to throw it away got to reach the line Blake Mitchell not too happy with the lack of protection on this one no and I think this play was actually a screen and Taylor wasn't Taylor rank was not actually turned around to receive the ball the play was set up perfectly they were bringing bringing in the house they had safeties up there were Blitz and safeties and and Blake wasn't be able to deliver the ball 28 yd attempt by suup and suup remains perect take away the blocks now he is perfect inside of 45 ydd in Cuts get three on the opening drive of the second half it's Carolina 31 MTSU 7

assignment yes there is no proof yet correct no definitive answer right so our search is for the questions exactly exactly back to Williams Bryce Stadium on a beautiful Saturday afternoon been a long time since we've seen football Under the Sun so many night games this year Blake Mitchell with some very impressive numbers here of late and he's going to go for some more pass caught by McKinley has 10 has 14 yds before being knocked out of bounds near the 35 yard line Blake Mitchell this junior out of lrange I'll tell you what my Kenny is just having an unbelievable day you know credit to Blake for putting the balls on the money but he has had catch after catch and hit after hit Blake having a a great so far last eight quarters Cory Boyd again tries the left side has some success there will set up a second down in short yeah the numbers for Blake Mitchell since coming into that Arkansas game or about as good as any quarterback in the country has had when you talk about a completion percentage at about 70 the yardage he's been able to rack up for attempt touchdowns versus te's he's been red hot not not bad for a guy that let's face it people have pretty much just given up on second and three boy the lone back they fake it to him throw right side to rice rice will make a move and will plow ahead for another first down to the 23 yd line I mean Mitchell was a guy that lost his job and then SE Newton had some good games played exceptional against Auburn and Blake was caught in a kind of a time sandwich if you will because you had sevel Newton this year and everybody's talking about Chris smelly being the future and getting the job next year and you wondered if we'd ever see Blake again and uh all he's done is just light it up since coming in that Arkansas Game and I credit go scer for that Mike and I'll tell you why after this F first down and 10 from the 23 it's Boyd makes another Jitterbug move Cuts back at the 20 and Bows ahead of the 25 again Boyd making something out of nothing so what coach fer does with Blake he's not not performing the way you want him to and hasn't performed the way you want to so what do you what do you do you question his character by making them sit on the bench and watch somebody else before that's what you do and you and when you give him the next opportunity we'll see whether he wanted it that bad or not and he made the best out of the opportunity that he had every throw is on the money it goes to show you that he really wants to be South Carolina's quarterback and and he said Spurrier did look Blake Mitchell better stop feeling sorry for himself if he does he'll be okay he'll get another chance and true to his word fer gets him in there in the Arkansas game and it just just wasn't working for Newton Newton had really struggled with his act accy against Tennessee and had a rough first half against Arkansas Mitchell comes in and I mean in that 15 of 20 stretch that he had every throw was just right on the money we're not talking screen passes or quick hitches you had a lot of corner routes and deep posts and whatnot and uh he was he was nearly Flawless before that interception late and the game against Florida was the one that really secured his job for the rest of this year Boyd gets a couple of tough yards up the middle for another first down as Carolina now just methodically dissecting this blue Raider defense play bypl one man that one man that has been a man today is that man right there KY Boyd 17 rushes for 74 yards in a TD and hopefully they give it to him again he you know he's earned another TV if you if you uh if you have me it was the Mike Davis show last week against the gator he had two touchdowns Cory Boyd looking for another one here on the left side oh he is popped and dropped hard inside the 10 penalty flag falls to the ground but Jonathan Harris L the lick penalties on the Gamecocks will'll take another look and a listen to that hit on Cory boy here it is just a tall sweep the outside oh man that was helmet to helmet contact uh I know you can tell Cory has readjusted his face mask about four times now and uh I definitely Jarred him I know that see there he goes again that's fifth uh that that might just be a habit but as far as I'm concerned and getting hit helmet to helmet I would think that uh he would definitely need to think again about going head on with that guy seen some hard hitting in this game boy this time lined out as a receiver bottom of your screen Stafford the lone back we know he's not going to carry Mitchell from the pocket delivers a strike to McKinley but it's deflected Away by regie ducet wow that was a great play by the defensive back what a last second reaction that he had to make uh with the his hand to deflect the ball if not it been a touchdown for Ken Kenley gamec today in the red zone three of three two touchdowns one field goal and that's been a trouble spot for this team all year long but not today second down and 18 four wide set if I was the guess it might be a draw or or a pass Mitchell's going to dump it off to Boyd the 15 the 10 the five touchdown Cory BD Cory BD with his second rushing touchdown of the day 19 The Yards he is a man possessed he ran so fast and broke so many tackles he came out of his own shoe nice screen play what a great offensive call lineman downfield picking up defensive backs and boy boy coming out of his shoe and fall in the end zone a man amongst boys today or target practice for Ryan suck up as he delivers another extra point 38-7 now here is

issues that have kept him from playing and there's another good play by a defensive lineman Nathan pepper and on the tackle he's been the most consistent defensive tackle Josh this guy doesn't get a whole lot of uh of uh airpl either but he's done a good job that's right and he's not the biggest guy out there either I mean he is a fighter um he's I don't know probably a little under 300 and probably right around six foot but you're going against offensive linemen that are twice your size when he's that small yeah they list him at 285 which in the SEC I mean that's that is awfully small for a defensive tackle there's a loss of nine but a penalty flag a personal foul on Carolina is going to move it the other way and of course that's an automatic first down so uh talk about a an early Christmas present for the blue Raiders yeah there's a look at coach L right there with the papers in his hands and uh probably writing down one of his uh defensive line that got the personal foul and making a note of it to talk to him once they get in the locker room so a big bailout there first and 10 from the 46 yd line Mars Under Pressure he is hit a hit hard ball on the ground and Al lineman for the blue Raiders recovered it Von bag one of the garnet jerseys in on that play but football is recovered he never saw the pressure coming no he sure did one of the middle Tennessee's lineman was

Wallace Bobby Wallace Carina there as holes are stuffed in a hurry by Middle Tennessee St wouldn't be surprised to be see another quarterback come in second n now my two favorites right now I'm going to tell you before they even come close to entering the game sevel Newton because it's Senior Day right or Kate Thompson well it's funny you would mention Kate Thompson because according to the latest depth chart as wh side makes a rare catch Tommy berer has moved ahead of so we might actually see Tommy pacher for the first time well that would be a good thing too I don't think think any of the Carolina fans have seen Tommy beer other in practice no he's kind of been the Forgotten man in that quarterback club uh but I'm with you I think a lot of fansi day would like to see Newton get the football couple more times before this game is over of course the last thing you want to do is get any of your key guys hurt that's right before the biggest game of the year next week against the Clemson Tigers s oh stop yeah it wouldn't be a good thing uh you know what is it 5 years running now that Clemson run the table against Carolina yeah the last victory was 2001 so 02 03 045 they'll be going for their fifth straight and uh first victory in Death Valley a long time we got to go back to the mid 90s the last time that has happened when Brad Scott was the head coach first and 10 from the 40 Middle Tennessee State stacking the line Mitchell hit as he throws and completes it to Mike West at the 45 and up ended at the 42 yd line the thing that amazes me Mike is that coach perer is still throwing the ball and 38 to7 in the fourth quarter with 12 minutes to go but he never ceases to amaz me watch Brian kingry pick up a key block on the replay there oh yeah that Brian kingry and Bobby Wallace definitely picked up two blitzing I think they were linebackers to allow Blake to deliver the football kry is one of those lunch paale guys 61 237 lb bruising fullback out of Ry North Carolina little trickery here on the reverse but Mike West is tattooed at the 45 they'll give him forward progress but he had no chance on that coach sper not happy with that I think uh Blake was supposed to peel back and pick up that guy right there and uh just kind of let him go right by a little Olay block as you like to call him as JK Sab not sof like the car but Sab Senor out of Augusta Georgia the team's leading tackler and made his imprint on Mike West on that stop that'll set up a second down and 20 little play a little uh uh change of play Here by coach barer from the sideline be interested to see what Mitchell has time delivers near side complete by Bobby Wallace Jitter BKE move at the 35 and all the way down to the 32 just a couple yards shy of the first down marker H how does coach sper see these things from the sideline that's what amazes me look uh here's Bobby walls coming out of the back field probably has a linebacker matched up against him and Coach perer automatically sees it it in an instant and changes the play he uh like I said before never ceases to amaze me and Blake Mitchell going to burn a timeout here make sure everything is all set up he doesn't want to have this drive come to an end third down and what would be a short two or a long one with 1024 remaining Blake Mitchell has a great game working and he would not mind another touchdown pass he has four the school record is five which Sev Newton tied earlier this year one of the things Josh that I love about sper is that uh he he knows players look there's nothing selfish about this they like to they like to have their name in the record books he's always aware of the records and he wants to break him no matter where he goes no doubt that's that's part of being kind of a a player friendly coach yep well uh I'm going to call it right here play action ISO up the middle and hitting the tight end down the middle of the field I boy I mean the way you said that I I I love the play let's see who's the tight ends on the left side is that pavlovic yeah it looks like pavlovic right you never know there goes Mike West in motion so staggered eye look Blake play action Blake under duress throws a l ball up for Noah wh side caught the seven almost breaks a tackle at the five and down at the four and that'll be a first down I don't know how Blake even got that ball off did I mention that me and Coach prer hang out during the week I noticed that I thought maybe you called that play in maybe he's listening to our broadcast 28 yards on this play yeah Blake drop back but get pressured and steps up and this something Blake usually wasn't able to do at the beginning of the season that's why coach fer held him out Noah whites side adjusting great to the ball and taking him down in first and go territory Tommy beer is in the game Tommy beer is at quarterback for the first time beer hands it off to Taylor Rank and he goes nowhere back to the line so Blake Mitchell might not have that opportunity to tie the school record after all as coach fer getting some work for Tommy beer beer a 61 214 lb red shirt freshman out of Concord North Carolina set a bunch of Records there this is I think his first playing experience isn't it certainly is high formation behind him rank dos it one receiver to the right beer goes to the air beer looking for West touchdown Carolina Tommy beer one pass one completion one touchdown that'll look good in the passer efficiency rankings that sure will and how about that I mean your first your first showing uh you get to throw a touchdown pass it's very rare three yards on the hookup completing a npl drive he threw a very well thrown ball here right over the shoulder and Mike West made a great catch getting two feet in bounds coming down with a score extra point he's Perfect by suup oh I'm going to have to correct you that was Jordan I I knew it soon as I said it we got to give the backup kicker some love Jordan

SAP with the Special Teams tackle for Carolina now 45 to7 our score we were talking about this during the break Tommy beer his first career pass a touchdown and in case you're wondering this will be great for the water core discussions on Monday if you want to impress your co-workers the last game c quarterback to do that same feat touchdown pass on the very first attempt well none other than Eric kimry on the fade to beat Miss Mississippi State back in 2000 one of the great finishes in Gamecock football history so beer joins a very short list in that category Middle Tennessee State needs something very good to happen in a hurry the quarterback keeper that'll work first down yardage Joe ktic Jo better Runner of the two quarterback on the tackle by the way congratulations to Eric Kim's team now High School coach winning the State title last night Hammond at the Hammond school which is a private school here in Columbia kimry is actually not a bad little basketball player too had a chance to play with him over at the Hammond gym um he's got a whole host of Carolina players as his coaches over there so there's a whole gang of them over there Jason Barnes is on that staff there's a run between the tackles by Eugene BR who we talked about early on as the key to this game he's really been held in check 45 to7 and of course uh everybody's who's a a football fan of all at all they're thinking today about that that classic matchup the Rivalry the great Cup Final which will be carried on CSS the Lions of British Columbia against the aletes of Montreal where those two teams meet you can throw away the record books Josh second down and six from the gun quarterback keeper again strung out to the right Marvin Sapp with a nice open field tackle of course that other game that some people might have an interest in Ohio State Michigan and they're about 15 minutes away the kickoff as we've already established Josh likes Ohio State I am going out on the Lim predicting the Michigan upset yeah looks like Middle Tennessee is going back to the roots here and just going to try to establish a run game um but I I uh I will ask you this Mike have you ever thought about going into comedy for a short time for for a short time and then this whole announcing thing came to parition and I just kind of stuck with it third down and six from the shotgun and a whistle before the play is snap so how many penalties that's 13 before this one I think this is a delay of game offense yard penalty remains third down 14 penalties in this game and that's 10 against Middle Tennessee State if you're Rick stock still that's going to drive you crazy he's got to make sure his team stays focused they've got a big one next week against the Trojans of Troy and the winner of that wins the Sun Belt and goes to the New Orleans pole and obviously if you're a college athlete to get a free trip to New Orleans that's all the motivation you need that's right third and 11 from the gun pass to the right side complete but shy of the first down going to be about two yds shy I'm going to go out on another limb here and say they go for it on fourth down boy you are a bold man oh I was wrong I was wrong ah see that you got a little bit too confident in your prediction that was a great uh pass and great effort by uh for the tight end there uh trying to stretch to make the first down and some people might say why in the world did you punt here I mean obviously this this game is is in the books you're not expecting a comeback here and like we just mentioned to you they want to stay focused and get ready for next week which will be if they can get it kind of a landmark victory for this Middle Tennessee State program 5 minutes 9 seconds remaining Carolina with a commanding 45-7

10 five touchdown Bobby Wallace 88 yards Bobby Wallace with his first career score what a great play man oh man Bobby Wallace shot out there like a rocket [Music] I wasn't sure if he was going to be able to out run him it was a split second there where it looked like Middle Tennessee would catch up to him and Tommy beer got a little Sparkle in his hands when he hands the ball off or throws it people score Bobby Walsh's foot racing just beating everybody all out nobody can catch him there is Thomas Hooper to add the extra point we're getting all your buddies in yeah do we have a fourth kicker that we can uh uh I think he's red shirted okay well there you go the uh suck up dods Hooper show on the extra points another look at Bobby Wallace tell you the offensive line did a great job for him Mike West great job of downfield blocking Bobby Wallace just out running everybody I thought six might have had the angle there Roy polite but he couldn't catch him could not grab him from behind I tell you I will tell you James Thompson up front did a great job for Bobby walls to break him loose and he CAU up with the no white side James Thompson right there great block pavlovic Jamar Meredith Noah white side it was a whole offensive team effort right there our stat magician Bryant benette has just looked it up and we now can officially tell you that is the fourth longest run in Carolina history Steve wadak 96 and the last time that anybody ran 88 yards or more Brandon Bennett in 1991 at an 89 y against East Tennessee State for the fourth longest run in Gamecock history Rick stock still not pleased with what he's seen in this one obviously but it's not going to going to affect that unblemished conference record of 6 and0 and Middle Tennessee State will have a chance to take on Troy next week that will be the game in terms of deciding who gets to go to the New Orleans Bowl which I'm told is uh officially the rnl carriers New Orleans Bowl we certainly wouldn't want to leave them out with all the great work that they do carrying various things but Carolina will kick it Off Middle Tennessee State at this point just wants that clock to run out still four over four minutes left in this ball game yeah we we still need to give credit where credit is due though because coach stockville is a great coach and he going to have a lot of success at Middle Tennessee no question when he's already he's already done it in terms of the amount of wins he's been able to rack up this year first year coach being able to go to a bowl game I think it's it's good enough sure but uh you a lot of people had this game a lot of people had this game on upset alert that Carolina still kind of with a Florida hang over but uh that combined with the fact that Middle Tennessee has played some tough teams tight this year new quarterback for MTSU that's the third Stringer Patrick Jackson a white Shir JR out of Mak Georgia starting tail back Eugene gross who's been quiet today breaks it outside turns the corner for about r with only 30 yards on the day Chris hail in on the tackle Chris hail if you remember was a wide receiver for most of the year before changing to the defensive side of the ball well it's time to get all the guys that haven't seen much time all year in for both sides of the ball Chris hail is at the bottom of your screen playing corner number of new numbers out there this game might be over but the broadcast doesn't well keep you posted on all the new names out there that was Damen Wright speaking of new names deflecting that pass you see Vander El Shackleford number 48 backup middle linebacker another freshman out of Riverdale Georgia Dakota Walker was on the field for a rare time on that last play and officials talking [Music] again the flag the flag was for defensive pass interference the ball was deflected away and was uncatchable there is no foul thank you for the clarification second down and 10 see coach St still just laughing cuz that's kind of how his day has gone oh yeah that is exactly how his day has gone [Music] second down and 10 335 to go Jackson takes his time now gets the snap off another hand off right side Bross turns the corner again it's near another first down Joel Reeds spins him with the tur Joel Reeves is another one of those guys that I think you're going to hear more of next year so many of these defensive players that you see and Garnet so young still learning week by week but if there is one advantage to being forced into playing so many young players yeah you're going to you're going to make your mistakes for the present you're going to take your lumps from time to time but it just makes the future that much brighter that's right and there's so many young players on this team offensive and defensively Total Domination in the second half as the yardage statistic would certainly K quarterback keeper on Third and short that'll be a first down sh and on [Music] stop the game with the win will have enough to make it into a bowl game for the second straight year and Steve Spurrier would be the first coach in school history to lead the game CS to a bowl game in Year's one and two so just add that to the checklist of uh accomplishments that Spurrier has already made in two years as the head game [Music] c well I can tell you one thing that it's going to be close between South Carolina and Kentucky as far as getting a bowl bid um because Kentucky I think their record right now is seven and four yeah and they play a small school today and well oh there's Brett Nichols going in the game at defensive back number 16 going in as a safety coach furer just trying to get him on the field has he ever played Safety a day in his life no he has not unless it's uh unless it's for uh and Coach re's getting a kick out of that right there as you can see him smiling that's just one of those where spurgers yep get in there safety go ahead give it a shot he just said hey don't let any pass get past you that's right another R hey Nichols he's going make he was coming in I don't think Nicholls wanted any part of it but he was he was coming in for a possible tackle yeah you know going back to your point on on the bowl situation there's some talk a possibility of getting into one of those Wild Card bowls perhaps the emerald gol in San Francisco the thing that always helps Carolina regardless of the win loss resume is the fact that you know you're going to get a ton of people to travel and bowl games you know if you want to cut it down to the bare science of what they're all about money making money and Carolina fans can ensure you a better shot at making a profit third down and three all kinds of time throw almost intercepted almost intercepted by Damen Wright of something as you can see there's uh some coaches now on the field that you don't normally see um they've come down from the box uh coach sper Jr is right there with the white hat next to uh coach buer he's a wide receiver's coach and uh he does a great job of being on the same page as his father another pass play for the blue Raiders Falls incomplete that will mercilessly stop the clock at 32 seconds remaining in this game 52-7 it's been all game con Blake Mitchell incidentally finishes 21 of 28 388 yds four touchdowns no ints along of 52 and one of the more underrated stats Blake Mitchell is now nine and six as a starter for the Gamecocks as Steve sper and Rick stock still two men that know each other very well shake hands and both teams will get ready for what will be their biggest games of the year and Bowl implications on
