the Victor's bot the Conquering Heroes and they call home the big house bathed in Maze and blue welcome to an arbor home of the Michigan Wolverines we have a ranked versus unranked battle coming up here and you know how chaos can ensue if they start smelling an upset as we'll see a squad from the Sun Belt the Arkansas state Red Wolves taking on the ninth ranked team in the land the Michigan Wolverine for EA Sports college football I'm Reese Davis joined here in the booth by David poock and Jesse Palmer and guys let's get this thing started the Wolverines will kick it away to start on the run from inside his own five he was looking for some Running Room but not much to be found as he stopped at the 18 so Arkansas State this offense takes the field and this guy feels like a throwback back in the day the running backs were always the Stars this guy fits that moment and he can do a lot of different things too he's not a one- trick pony this guy can Tote The Rock he can catch the ball he can block we might even see him throw the ball in this game this is a jack of all tra and defense nowadays they don't look at stats of what is the yard for rush they look at how many negative plays they can bre cuz why now you look at second down man it just became very predictable for this offense nice job creating the loss on first down trying to impose their will with the run just searching and working for the Running Room as he gets it out to the 26 just a simple power play power football be strong be big be physical make it a fourth quarter game make him feel you keep him off balance this crowd full throat splitting the eard drums and letting him know it's going to be a long day musling ahead on Third and short oh it's on the ground high ball and he falls on top of his own fumble and the offense will retain possession so the officials take a closer look and the replay Booth will overturn the call now he's looking to throw it and they'll finally catch up to him but not before a big chunk of yardage is picked up you know it's a nice throw by the QB there when you're throwing a running backs you got to make it easy on them so you want to put it right on their body make the catch simple and let them go to work like they did just there getting that first the red wolves come to the line in the hurry up back to throw it's rain unloads to the wide out he's got it they are on the move down to the 32 and they pick up another first down he didn't give away anything running that route got to the top of it and got himself open yeah that's a great job when you see manto man and you know you got your receiver out wide that can win wait till he sticks that foot in the ground makes the play now you put some air underneath that football and you know your receiver is going to win the match up from the gun leaves it on the inside with the back [Applause] the L getting set on second down out of the shotgun they go to the ground he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple and that's what makes this defense so difficult to run against they've got guys up front that just push offensive linemen backwards they basically push the blockers right into the lap of that running back defense getting stingier in their own end of the field it's third and long from the 28 the quick out man you have to do everything in your power not to let your momentum carry you out of bounds short of the first down marker and I would AR you too maybe you run your route a little bit deeper you got to understand where the first down marker is and where I got to get to but yeah I'm not running out of bounds I'm lowering my shoulder and trying to get as much yardage as I can to make this fourth down manageable they'll run for it on fourth down and he'll be taken down but he does have enough for the first down I think throughout the week in practice when they were game planning their opening script I don't even know if they envisioned it going as well as it has this has been beautiful nice balance really nice Rhythm it feels like everything they're dialing up here on their first drive of the game is working to Perfection it is getting loud as this crowd tries to help its defense using the quick game and not much doing there as that defense runs him out of bounds a nice job by the defense there tackling the catch and smothering the tight end they know this offense is going to try to find him in the passing game in a lot of different situations that time perfect coverage and nice job bringing big guy down not easy to do looking for a man it's Rainer and the defense a got him at the 27 Wolverine's bringing the heat on the defensive front as they have so many times through the years and you just think about guys that just look great in their UNS big strong Aiden Hutchinson ojabo a lot of these guys in the recent history just they know how to get after the quarterbacks and make their life miserable this crowd going to try to make life miserable for these guys on Third and long a check down would be the last resort and that's incomplete a Defender all over him knocked the ball to the ground fourth down coming up tell you what I don't know if the offense was expecting man coverage that time third and long in field goal range you're expecting it to be Zone instead they lock them up manto man everybody on an island everybody W they get the in completion Now setting up fourth they'll try to cap off this drive with a field goal oh and the attempt is no good kicker tried to attack a few more on the scoreboard guys and couldn't do it you can't miss opportunities like that you're playing on the road in a hostile environment you're trying to seize momentum right out of the gate you get a nice drive to start the game and then you miss the field goal you don't get any points to show for that if they're going to win this one guys they've got to take a advantage of those types of opportunities he couldn't connect on that 44 yd field goal attempt so now the offense will take over at its own 27 B that space and picked up six out to the 33 brings up second six- yd pickup on first down leaves him with second and four he's looking to throw fires to the right got his Man Down field and he was on his way gets it all the way to the 38 making great decisions that's what all of the legendary Michigan quarterbacks have done John Navar Elvis gerbach and the guy I can't remember drafted in the sixth round by the Patriots Yeah that guy what was his name Tom Tom Brady yeah I think I think that's his name yeah he he was pretty good too but when you think about Michigan you don't always think about the quarterbacks and you don't always think about airing it out but again if you want to be a great college football team nowadays you better be able to throw that big skin I love this guy because he brings a physicality to this Michigan offense both shm Beckler would have loved this guy he would have loved to jog a few extra tight ends on the field get the QB under center student body right and give this guy the football he would have fit in perfectly with his running Style man he is hard to bring down might as well give it to him again they wrestle him down after he picks up six inside the 20 and down at the 18 A lot of times defenses Blitz to stop the run this very play right here uh Blitz the linebacker but man the offense did a great job everybody understood what they saw running back understood pick up a nice positive gain when they were trying to get a blitz and maybe create a tackle for a loss the give on the inside fights through the pile and picks up a couple down to the 16 now that's what you're trying to do as a defense limit those damages when they run the football get them on the ground short gains to set your defense for positive situations down the road here on third down for this offense it's complete gets it into the end zone but wait a minute we'll have to check out the laundry on the field caught the defense off sides that penalty obviously will be declined and the touchdown stands lining up to tack one more onto that lead and he's got the extra point and it's s nothing to start this one so that scoring Drive took only six plays and they closed the deal with a 16 yd throw touchdown kickoff team is on the field they'll try to drive this one [Applause] deep he'll start the return inside his spot not a lot of space to be found good Hustle by the coverage team and they stop him at the 21 line gets set first down quarterback on the keeper got to be smart patient great vision uses all of that to get to the 29 yeah and that's the hard thing about these acties they can move and run all over the place and give you so many options is that that didn't even look like much but he chews up so much yardage and get those little games that just dep by a Thousand Cuts that continue to happen with this offense the give to the tailback there to make the tackle and that's how we'll wrap up this first period we reached the end of the period and Michigan has the lead we put one in the books Let's have a look at our game [Music] [Applause] summary now to see if these guys can get back in the game in the second quarter this is where you make the money on the drive ball at the 30 it's third and short and this one will be stopped for No Gain let's go defensively now we know we get a stop we get the offense ball back in great field position a great opportunity to make some strikes maybe score some points let's go defense and the red wolves line up the pun it away the punter going to get his first work of the afternoon looking for a block it's Morgan he's brought down but a really solid effort to pick up every bit of yardage he could on the puck return Michigan ready to get that offense rolling again boy David they would love to stack another touchdown on top of that last drive and this off off he goes the 30 what a play there and he's got it all the way down to the seven yd line every time he touches the ball you can feel the excitement from this home crowd cuz Palmer He Can Go the Distance with that game breaking speed you're right David he's a special talent I'll tell you these fans they come here to see this guy play cuz he has gamebreaking speed stuff you can't coach you saw it on that play didn't take him long to get into the goal to go package here they are on first down they'll try to get it in with the Run he'll be brought down at the 5 yd line and this defense is on its heels second and goal for this offense they'll keep it on the ground right up the gut looking for six into to the end zone he goes touchdown m Michigan effective offense leading the way here and establishing this lead and that's how you draw it up right you want to come out be click and early get everything going way to get all the facets rolling the defense right now on their heels they have no answers the offense doing whatever they want lining up to add another is on for the extra point and with the extra point they pushed the lead out a little further quick strike offense on that three-play scoring drive and they punctuated it with the 5yd touchdown run the kickoff team out there set to boot it away returner will field it and try to get some field position didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 Arkansas State ready to go back to work on offense they'll throw it on first down he's going for a big Play Down field he's got it on the right he's Off to the Races and he cruises his way to the house touchdown Red Wolves some sometimes it's players not plays or sometimes it's both and when you got that guy and you put him in the slot and you let him burn for a go route right past a nickel corner or one of the reserve corners or a safety that's a great job by the offense and that speed you can't teach and that's why he's in the house for six [Music] getting set for the point after exra point and after the extra point they've cut the lead in half down 14-7 that one's going to get a little star Mark decided on the play sheet One play explosive touchdown just like that air lining up to boot it away set to kick it off and he takes this from inside the five really disciplined job by the coverage unit to get down there and make the stop at the 19 guys Here Come Those Maze and blue winged helmets on offense fighting off the defender and how about the work up front by that big defensive line This is a defense that we know takes tons of Pride stopping the Run that's where it all starts and ends with them and you saw great great effort on that last play they got nothing on the last play it's second and 10 back to the ground with the running back just gets it to the 208 pick up of one you know runs like this often times are like a boxer in a boxing match obviously it's not a knockout punch but these are body blows and as the game goes on these small gains are going to turn into longer runs they line up with with some serious work to do if they want to convert this one third and long and he'll try to throw for It Wide Open downfield that is exactly what you're looking for when you talk explosive plays the defense finally able to make the stop just beautiful and that's a great feeling as a quarterback when you make that throw it keeps your offense on the field keeps the offensive Rhythm obviously not as good as throwing a touchdown pass I'll tell you this way better than having to trot off over to the bench and wait for your turn to get them shot not a whole lot of room there three yards maybe second and seven nice run there on first down you know this is a running back that gets better as the game goes on so they're going to want to make sure they keep feeding him the football let him get lathered up after the three- yd pickup they come to the line Second and seven they'll go right back to him and a good solid pick up before the defense Cuts him down listen I know that's not a huge game but those run plays add up they make you tackle the back every single play physically you have to get some guy on the ground it takes its toll throughout a fourth quarter game in the dead center of the field as they try to convert this third and short trying to get the First with the give to the wide receiver nowhere to run on that one he loses four on the carry you know as an offense often times you try the reverse play because you're trying to take advantage of a defense over pursuing and by a lot of defensive team speed didn't work right there great discipline by this defense and the Wolverines will send out the punt unit a fairly short distance here toward the sidelines not his best work Arkansas state has it ready to go to work on offense boy that last touch down the oneplay quick strike score Jesse this offense hoping to keep that kind of explosiveness going and I don't know if they're going to get the same looks defensively because of just how explosive that play was re David they may me seeing a little bit more uh off coverage on this drive and maybe some softer boxes to run into and when you make that kind of explosive play you're going to put the defense on it heels they're going to be a little bit more conservative so this offense approached now maybe I don't have to go deep I can go a little bit shorter and just make those easy plays underneath going to run it it's cross couldn't find a lane a pick up of one to the 31 the Run game just has not been working for this offense all game long you saw it on that last play as well just not getting enough push up front on the offensive line they haven't been physical decb Rising as the crowd Gets behind this defense on third down back to pass it's Rainer right down the middle can't make the connection on third down thanks to that tough hard noosed pass defense and now it's Fourth Down defense did a great job third and short on the opponent side of the field they're expecting quick throw everybody they dug their heel on the ground they're able to break on the ball Force the incompletion the red wolves will bring the punt team onto the field this will be the second time they've had to kick it away running it back it's Morgan that a perfect example of not settling for a fair catch pick up whatever yardage you can and help out the offense they'll try the run and a pickup of eight opens a world of opportunities on second and two yeah this offense is built behind this guy I mean a guy that you can hand the football to consistently and expect positive yards all day long all game long now he's over a 100 yards on the day it's the two-minute warning and we'll see if the offense can tack a little something extra on their lead before the break they'll line up for a second down play he's looking to throw got it in the middle it's Edwards and the defense able to drag him down but not before they'll recycle that down marker I just love quarterbacks that aren and that aren 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 back he'll go do something positive with it this guy is a weapon and you got to find him in the passing G trying to find his man on first down fires to the big fella and that is good versatility there and a big hit from the backer in pass coverage I say this man in college football you see a lot of bad tackling you didn't see it right there that was an awesome job first off being there at the point of attack once the tight end made the catch there was no doubt he was going down great job form tackle looking for a man it's orgy makes his connection tackled immediately after the catch yeah and that was tough on the DB right he's trying to cover the receiver on a drag route running back over the middle of the field you're trying to avoid all the linebackers all the congestion he just couldn't stay with them long enough and as a result fresh set of downs for the offense a complete but not quite enough for the first down third down coming for this offense grab near the marker it's Edwards and they knock him down but he got past the line the game I was starting to think about what they would do if they didn't pick up the first down here but I guess that's a move point now move point for sure and the head coach was probably telling four down territory we're going to kick a field goal whatever the next decision was going to be and now the OC is like don't worry about it new set of downs nice execution by this offense Wolverines come to the line with a fresh set of downs with the catch it's Morris and he'll step out of bounds after a very productive play and just understanding where you're at on the field make sure you get those feet down before you get too close to that sideline so I get credit for that catch nice job nice pitch nice catch picked up some yardage with that completion now second down he's looking to throw fires to the middle it's caught downfield they make the tackle but he's got a fresh set of downs and it's first and goal from the seven this defense now is just getting D and if you're the defensive coordinator you might now want to think about being aggressive changing up your play calls and maybe breaking your own Tendencies because you have got to stop this offense just marching down the field unleashes to the end zone and it's caught touchdown Wolverine and that's what I love about empty sets and formations on offense is that when you spread the defense out you create bigger Lanes to throw and do you saw it right [Applause] there he'll try to tack on one is on for the extra point and the extra point pushes the lead to 14 so that's a 59 yd touchdown drive and they close the deal with the seven Y for the score so they got the touchdown now going to put it in the hands of their defense to finish off this half he'll bring it out it's cross he was looking for some Running Room but not much to be found as he stopped at the 18 guys we'll see if this red wolves offense can get moving now we'll get a chance to see if they can answer that last score trailing by 14 Jesse Yeah and at this point of the game I feel like offensively you should go back to what's been working for you in this game don't be afraid to dial up plays that you've already had success with running it and throwing it it's okay to repeat plays down 14 at this point and I would also say Palmer kind of understanding that my defense is not playing great so I know offensively I got to put some good possessions together here make something happen on this side of the football there's a timeout called as this offense tries to find a way to draw a little closer back to throw it's Rainer that one will be incomplete and we are down to 10 seconds to go hey man if you're going to force incompletions when the QB's thrown to the tight end you better be physical nice job with the hit forcing that incompletion just a few seconds remaining here as they try to put something up before halftime on Third and long he has to throw for it the short hands it's Jackson finally run out of bounds but he has this offense rolling with a first down well look that wasn't a touchdown but that was a massive play for this offense they needed some momentum they needed to find a rhythm in what better way than converting on third down awesome job by the quarterback getting through his progression looking to move it through the air fires deep toward the end zone and they couldn't connect on the Deep shot let's see if things get worse there's a flag on the field which way is this going to go and the defender just way too handsy on that last play you could see all the contact as the ball ball was in the air you simply can't do it in the referee's CAU no good oh there is laundry on the deck and it might be a for this kicker just like the end of the game the first half can't finish up with a defensive penalty so there will be one more untimed down never doubt and the field goal to end the half takes us to halftime 21 that's the end of the second quarter that means it's time to join having an hour halime update guys it is tough to beat the big house when it's full and rocking as it is today in an arbor and we've got to start our halftime breakdown with this Superstar running back his elusiveness his raw power this young man is the total package and his ability to catch the ball out of the back field is a differentiator a lot of guys can hit the hole this kid can hit the hole and hit the home run in the the passing game and with that let's send it back to the guys in the big [Music] house and the red wolves will kick it off to start the second half he'll bring it back looking for help didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage and he'll be stopped at the 17 and here comes the Michigan offense back on the field it's working why change it and that running game was working in the first half I imagine we'll see a lot more of it here in the third quarter and you just know the offensive line was telling their coordinator put this on us let us continue to go out there push these guys around we can put this game on our back and end this thing by running the ball and this is a manhood question for this defense like as a defensive lineman and you're pounding the Rock pound on the Rock like I got to physically rise to this challenge this defense has to play more inspired and More Physical in the second half incomplete third coming up couldn't find his man last time and that leaves him with a third and six wide receiver coming across in motion looking to throw it's orgy the throw to the outside is complete he's going to have enough to pick up the first down as they stop him at the 33 yd line there's not a lot to think about when you're the quarterback You' got one of the best receivers in the country you get him the ball any way possible it doesn't matter if one guy's covering him or two guys are covering him he just gets open and gets first downs on the move it's Edwards they bring him down and he's going to lose a yard on that one and sometimes for the defense it just takes one play right to create some momentum obviously this guy's been eating him up he's got over a 100 yards rushing on the day but finally David they get something positive here in the Run game defensively but you kind of know that coming in he's going to get his such a great back and he's had a great day need to put more plays together like that right there from the gun the running back looking for room knocked down for the tackle well the defense wasn't expecting that they had a lot of guys back into coverage that was second and a lot of yards to go and they got caught off guard not enough guys in the Box to control that running back come to the line at the 42 facing a third and short they'll try to pick it up on the ground and boy is he CL of that first down maybe just a couple of inches short well the defense got the stop there on third third and one let's see if they can do it again here on Fourth and inches David I just got to find a way to fall forward be physical we work on this all week you know you're going for it on fourth down and the Wolverines will try to pin them back with the punt this will be the second time they've had to kick it away bringing it back it's Jackson was looking for more Running Room but found nothing but more tacklers he's down at the 24 Arkansas State ready to go back back to work on offense coming out on first down with the play fake dances away from the heat he felt the heat trying to get away but down he goes he'll lose a yard or two what a great play winning one-on-one getting home and getting a sack and that kind of effort is going to get the big house fired up these 100,000 plus Michigan wolver fans are on their feet screaming because of that dominant play right there coming from their D line to the air it's Rainer setting up the screen and the defense stops him just short of the first down maybe needed a few more chain links to move the sticks running backs are wide receivers they they do such a great job nowadays out of the back field all you got to do dump it to get it to him quick and he'll make the rest happen with his running back skills but they do so much work with wide receivers in practice that they basically have become wide receivers now PS and fired complete good job running that route to get past the sticks because he got nothing after the catch David that is a great security blanket for a quarterback to have a tight end to make those conversions dang right find the big fella on Third and short Dependable clutch nice hands first down the red wolves want to crank the tempo and he was hit just as he was releasing the pass and it falls to the ground incomplete in football you hear the turn quick but don't hurt and you can tell when you run these rpos and QBs want to make that decision quick and he I think he hurried it a little bit too much got the ball out quick but obviously was inaccurate in his point now on second down he wants to throw it again grabbed behind the line line it's cross he was able to reach into his bag of tricks and use it to pick up a few extra yards listen running backs are not just running backs anymore you're going to be a wide receiver in today's football and a great job sneaking out of Back Field getting the football letting them get some positive yards and this offense can ill afford to come up empty on this drive already trailing by multiple possessions shotgun snap Wason to throw it on third caught in the back field it's cross and he couldn't quite get to the marker and that's going to bring up a fourth down I mean good news here they get the completion bad news though not enough to pick up the first down a Target there he's got to do a better job understanding where the first down marker is make sure he gets the right depth on his route now all of a sudden head coach has a big decision he shanked it and the punt goes out of bounds we'll see where the officials spotted but they certainly gave them no opportunity for a return they're going to throw it to start the drive catch in the middle it's Lin and he was just a couple of steps away from taking that one even further after the catch we talked a lot about Michigan building its offense around the running game but they've always had an effective quarterback who can make plays down the field and I think some people here effective Reese and take that as an insult right like I don't want to hear about my quarterback being effective I want him to be explosive I want him to be dynamic but Michigan doesn't really have those guys most of the time at that quarterback spot but when they find those good ones they have great Seasons well this offense came into the game knowing they wanted to be physical they wanted to establish the line of scrimmage and they're running downhill right at this defense and they're turning out positive yardage early got six on first down now a lot of options on second and four throws for the tight end a strike downfield he gets it all the way down to the 5 yd line a terrific catch and run before he stoed yeah and the quarterback knew exactly where he wanted to go the football had time spins the ball deep nice job by this offense understanding what the defense is given him and creating explosive play the Wolverines will try to punch it in on first and goal they'll try to get it in with the Run Relentless T rning gets it down to the four and down here near the goal line you've got to be physical and this guy's proven it today Palmer they've given it to him he's put it in the end zone twice already I'm going to keep featuring him so you know the defense is going to be keying him too right because he's hurting them a little bit in this game already they're going to be finding a way to try to get some penetration anticipating this guy to touch it again scanning the field it's orgy he's got it in the end zone touchdown Michigan this is like a baseball pitcher that can't miss he is just pounding pounding pounding the strike Z it just gets in the zone right and you can't miss you you've seen quarterbacks get like that no matter what they do they're on fire they're hitting the receivers and listen that's also on the defense the defense has to do a better job making him him feel uncomfortable changing what they're doing in coverage so he's a little bit confused you can't just let him pick you apart now they'll line up for what they hope is automatic the kick is up and good and put one more on the lead a very efficient five-play scoring drive and they Capa the drive with a four yd touchdown pass the kickoff team out there and ready to go kickoff here he comes from inside his own five he was hoping for something a little more Dynamic but they get him on the ground at the 20 Arkansas state has it ready to go to work on offense p and finds his man on the left he make the stop after the catch and still some work to do to pick up that first down I like the decision by the quarterback here just get the ball out of your hands get it to your playmaker a lot of times he'll dance and make even bigger plays than he did here but it was still a positive game kept it on the ground last time bringing up a second down the give from the gun he's knocked down in the back field he'll lose a couple well that guy is so quick coming out of his stance do you see how fast he got to the ball carrier to get that tackle for loss wow as they get set to snap it time winding down here in the quarter to the ground to try to pick up the first and he was able to work his way for just a few and that will do it for the third quarter we reached the end of the period and Michigan has the lead they built a comfortable lead after three quarters of play Let's Take a look at how we got here one more quarter to play and it might be unlikely but hey it's college football comebacks happen they'll try it on the ground fights off a Defender he will not get it a fourth down stop for this defense as they try to assault this one away he'll start this drive firing grabbed in the back field it's Edwards and just a short safe pass play they pick up a few well he made the grab but the doors closed quickly after that and I like this I want to find my running back but man he's got to do a little more damage after the catch I need I need a stiff arm I need a spin move I need something where he can make that guy Miss and can pick up a bunch of yards and maybe get a big play out of it they'll give it to the back they make the stop give him three yards on the carry balls at the 24 at the 24 yd line up third down they've got a ways to go on third down from the 24 as this defense tries to force him into a field goal try give to the back they finally get him on the ground but the big running play moves to change for the first down big reason why his team has the lead right now late is because of his performance running the football well over a 100 yards in this game they knew that they were going to have to really put a lot of pressure on him he'd have to shoulder the load and he has delivered for his offense all game long quick touch pass to the receiver well and on these little push passes timing is so important you're trying to snap it right as he's getting a full head of steam when he gets the ball he's hitting the outside and David it puts the defense in such a difficult spot you immediately have to be rotating when you see that motion so everybody's got to communicate and kind of bump over that's why offenses love to run it just it makes the defense communicate and see if you can just get him out of the spot the running back has it pick up of one it's down at the 11 and a nice second effort by the back to break a tackle but how about those defensive backs willing to come up stick their face in the fan and make a tackle those are the best run defenses too right it's not just D lineman and linebackers getting all the plays but it's DBS that are willing to not just cover but tackle back in the open field back to throw it's orgy fires into the end zone touchdown Wolverine and the Ping has started and this offense continuing to put up points this game's Out Of Reach you know you're going to win but still throwing the football still finding that connection I imagine there'll be some salty handshakes at the end of this game [Applause] ready to try the point after the extra point and the extra point will tack another one onto this lead so that scoring Drive took only six plays and they finish it with an 11y touch down D the kickoff team out there getting [Applause] [Music] set fielded In The End Zone it's cross he's brought down at the 16 would have been much better off to take the Touchback guys we'll see if this red wolves offense can get moving at Fourth Down gamble didn't pay off on the last drive and it led to giving up a scoring Drive David yeah and everybody wants to go for it on fourth down everybody wants that but your defense sometimes has to bail out your decision making decided to go for it we didn't get it the defense Jesse didn't come up big and prove me right yeah not complimentary football no doubt but look this offense has been in these situations before so you got to come back out here take the field it's a fresh set of downs brand new Drive let's go out next CU put some points on the board catch in the middle it's Jackson makes the tackle at the 30 after he picked up 10 the offense has struggled they're not going to win this game but trust me this coaching staff is still trying to find things to build off of for next week and after an explosive play like that maybe they can generate just a little bit of momentum and gain a little bit of confidence that they can keep coaching up heading into their next game looking left he's got [Applause] it just what they were looking for a huge explosive play in they're inside the 15 at the 13 yd line that's a 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 route finally some signs of life from this offense which has done nothing in the second half it's first first and 10 movement here from the tight end the run from the shotgun they'll pick up four second and Six coming going to work in the Red Zone they can pick up the first down without getting it into the end zone going for six pulls it in in the end zone touchdown Red Wolves man that is so good there's not a lot of room to work over there on the sideline In The End Zone but he was able to control his body catch the football make sure he had a foot down in bounds it doesn't get any better than that [Music] [Music] on to attempt the try on for the extra point and after the extra point they Trail 3517 a very efficient five play scoring drive and they cap things off with a 9yd touchdown pass they're down big but they'll keep fighting to The Bitter End line up for the onside kick here that's why they call them the hands team they're able to secure the onside kick Michigan ready to get that offense rolling again on that last Drive defense had no idea what was happening run or pass net wound up in the end zone Jesse yeah you saw the experience in this offense that last drive too on that touchdown everybody on the same page these guys have repped these plays over and over in practice and in games and it's worth yeah so I got to find a way to disrupt it I I got to find a way to maybe be more aggressive maybe Blitz mess up this Rhythm they got going after the productive first down play it's second and six on the ground trying to pull the plug on this clock had to work to pick up three down to the 33 yd line at the 33 yd line up thir they're facing a third down to the ground to try to move the chains moving deeper into enemy territory move the chains it's first down at the 27 this guy's been special today coming into this one they thought they had an opportunity really to get him going running the football and he has delivered you've seen the speed the vision his ability to break tackles well well over 100 rushing yards in this game and that's why they have a nice lead here late on the Move hard running there showed off just about every move in the book except the forward move stopped for a short gain after picking up a couple at second and eight hand off from the and a good solid pick up there before the defense knocks him down listen you you got to be able to know what play to call and what hole to go through like the line blocks for a certain hole good job getting through the hole getting what was blocked getting a nice positive gain making your situation really good on the next down and the Wolverines are threatening in the Red Zone toss sweep to the left dragged down to the turf but not before getting the first down everything going the offense's way they're trying to ice this game late they got a really nice lead so you just want to run the ball high percentage throws and keep the chains moving and they're doing that this has been a beautiful drive to watch offense continues to stay in a nice Rhythm here late takes a hand off it's Edwards and these defensive tackles just eat people they swallow human beings when you get near them they're so big so strong those guys those running backs coming they just need a m they put one mid on a running back and he usually falls to the ground just because of their sheer mass and strength going to work on second down in the red zone is still some ground to cover to pick up that first down out of the gun the inside hand off looking for a crease and after the short run the clock hits zero and we are are all wrapped up here [Music]
