Mayo classic between NC State and Tennessee later but it is our first inaugural stop at the Collegiate Championship tour with EA Sports college football 25 with rally cry at the hel my hold Shi with me I've got Nick at decu boys I feel like I should have worn some red today uh I went for a more neutral color but the two teams playing well listen uh next time we'll text we'll coordinate out I mean we can all match though like I appreciate you taking the the what we're not going to match I like that uh listen it's a top 25 match up tonight we're out here the crowd's been awesome the Free Play Station has been going crazy uh and we have a fantastic match up coming up later tonight there's nothing quite like in my mind a college football weekend that's as good as it gets yeah I'm soed to be out here Bank of America Stadium you know neutral game to neutral games are just huge in the college football seasons because you look back on these neutral games did the ACC win did the SEC win these games get looked back on so can't wait to see what ends up happening and we're pretty equidistant between Raleigh and Knoxville so I imagine the fans here are going to be pretty hefty 50/50 hey on top of that though what exactly are we doing here if you the little intro the championship tour is going to be featured across multiple stops along the college football season of course we're here in Charlotte the Queen City and for the Dukes classic but a couple of weeks ago or weeks later rather Colorado UCF in Florida going to be a nasty one down there and then of course the military battle between Navy and Air Force should be a really fun setup here cuz the championship tour is on the truck and we're going to be not just showcasing these particular games but we're going to have students from each of these schools squared off on EA Sports College football 2025 I can't wait to get down to Orlando uh the bounce house one of the top uh home atmospheres T bringing in coach Prime and Colorado maybe the Heisman Trophy favorite in Travis Hunter on that Colorado team that should be a fun one watching KJ Jefferson UCF go crazy and then nothing like a military match up Navy and Air Force in Colorado Springs get to see that Wing te offense go crazy I was going to say this is the first time in 11 years that we've had the flexbone offense back in football video games Madden that obviously isn't a thing but college football 25 they have that flexbone offense Navy and Air Force are the two best teams that run that Flex bone Wing te type of offense so I cannot wait to see what they run you legitimately might see under five passes in that game if you love running football you're going to love the military matchups run the rock hammer it home hey okay so that's where the stops are going to be what exactly does it mean in terms of how you can participate in this cuz yes you can online circuits and ladders will be happening the registration opens September 29th and will remain open until November 16th so those latter dates you'll see from Wednesday to Sunday each week between the 28th of September and November 17th what this is going to lead towards is kind of the same thing we're seeing in the College Football Championship Series this year where we're going to have a playoffs that will happen between December 7th and January 20th but if for some reason you don't do well enough in the ladder during the regular season you're going to have a chance in that last chance qualifier leading right before Thanksgiving yeah it's going to be really cool and as we mentioned 10 stops coming up so it's not just the three you saw we're going to be announcing more along the way so you'll be able to pick and choose where you want to qualify for but that last chance qualifier it ladders it's all about playing as many games you can winning as many games you can but if for some reason you don't qualify for that it's really cool to have an opportunity to sneak into the playoffs in that last chance yeah and for me I've had success in that last chance qualify before in Madden and it's just such a cool tournament it doesn't matter what you've done before it doesn't matter if you've been one of the best players or one of the worst players that last chance qualifier anybody can play in it and if you're able to have success in that one tournament you'll be able to make that final playoff run this should be fun again we're going to be talking more about the two students one from NC State one from Tennessee later but here on the truck again getting you guys to want to come out here throughout the rest of the season we've got all these free play setups here on the rally cry Championship tour bus we've got ourselves four setups we've been seeing a lot more orange a lot ofn orange Rocky Top showed up to play and I'm not going to lie these look like a lot of fun I've been hearing some trash talk back there there's been some cing some guys out there like listen it doesn't matter whether you're playing for $100,000 or just for Pride on your couch you're going to talk trash to your opponent exactly and especially with this rivalry between Tennessee and NC State you want to be the person that wins for your school too that's one of the really cool things I love about college football is the pride that these kids have for their school you want to be the person winning for your school every time well let's talk about what this rivalry is starting to look like because like we talked about NC State Tennessee it is a top overall match up and we have our two students that are going to be representing each of their schools and a best of three here on the main featured stage of the truck kayen Corbett and Ethan jamrose coming from obviously each school that you see represented freshman versus sophomore so early entry to the col college football Esports space here now listen I'm a a big proponent of higher education it's why I stayed in school for eight years um no master's degree just a bachelor I just didn't go to class uh these are two smart kids General chemistry and aerospace engineering Miss what are we doing here I I we are not doing Trivia today okay okay that's been cancelled the trivia challenge has been cancelled uh I just wish you know I went to college in oh8 that tells you how old I am but I there was nothing like playing college football in your dorm rooms and getting able to do that and that's what's cool about these guys they're getting to go to college and now with college football back plays their schools you mentioned Pride that's really cool to be able to do that at the college atmosphere and that's something from talking to these people both Ethan and Kaden is that they love their school they don't go to Tennessee and they don't go to NC State and they don't just show up to class they are involved with the football teams out there so they both want to represent their school well and be able to be that person that can win for their school hey and for utk Esports they have been really flushing out the program you saw Kaden was rocking the Jersey I love to see custom jerseys in college I'm telling you I mean come on if I were in if you were in back in the day there's orts involved we would have been there but of course on the other side from NC State uh Ethan I will say he did self-proclaim the fact that he's happy to be here there is maybe some level of maybe he doesn't feel as prepared but he's been playing all afternoon I a chance to watch over his shoulder he's really putting it together he's going to have a challenge today listen NC State known at the quarterback position Grayson McCall the transfer from Coastal Carolina able to come in a senior eliter but inside of college football the story is on the Tennessee side you've got Nico IAM malava at quarterback he's a fast quarterback and running that wide Veer it's tough to stop in the stadium it's tough to stop in game because the field is so spread out yeah that's one of these cool things about college football 25 is they have these things called wide formations this is something that isn't IM Madden specifically for college football at 255 and those wide formations mean those receivers line up outside the hash mark and that is probably one of the biggest difference with that college football game is the fact that you have the hash marks so much wider yeah they're huge they're and and the biggest thing is but they're so wide because the hash marks uh in college are wider and so because of that it is tough to run that offense because you're you actually can't see your wide receivers when you're snapping the ball but because that the Run game opens up and when you have an athletic quarterback like Nico he's going be able to run that read option uh it's going to be fun to see in the game if you can find some defense with NC State and I think all the NC State fans are want they can find some defense inside the stadium tonight well that's the thing that's really I think special about what we've you know missed about college football in the virtual space of the gaming space is that it is a one for one representation of what your team looks like on the year you're going to get updates throughout the whole season you're going to have the Playbook be retuned you can change things up as you want but still The Core Concepts are there so you know I for me in particular I have to kind of put myself in the the deprecating moment here I'm an Indiana fan when I tell you weet come on Curtis roor I'm telling you better than years past but I couldn't have told you all five of the running backs are running until I started playing the game and I was just like wait a second now I'm seeing them all in person I think that's kind of the fun part about college football the video game is you're getting a lot of new people playing the game and learning about the college game and learning these rosters people who maybe who are just uh football fans maybe haven't paid attention to college now you're getting to watch every single Saturday and Friday and Tuesday and th well they play a lot of days and learn these teams roster yeah for me that's one of the big things playing mad at my entire life you know the entire NFL you know every single player on every single team but you don't know that until they get to the NFL college now I can list off so many different players so many new players from these schools and that's one of the really cool things and one of the players that I do just want to highlight this is a little bit of a well-known player is James Pierce I think is going to be a game breaker both on the virtual grid iron and in the real game tonight it's a really good tuneup we're going to see all this in action very very soon but before we jump into the game play got to give some shout outs to our sponsors California almonds we're getting nutty up here so to speak hey dude shoes we also have the Air Force National Guard but also Wendy's which they have a really fun thing going on of course you guys have seen this is the real game I think this is what we're worried about well you know we also just we're hungry too let's be honest but the sauce Brawl by Wendy's all the Saucy nugs are set up into a bracket in each of our stops there is going to be a different head-to-head matchup that you at home watching on Twitch can get to the twitch pole and do your voting to see what you think would be the better in the flavors this week we're looking at honey barbecue and spicy garlic parm I'm not going to lie when I normally order wings those are the two sauces that I go for so that feels like a lopsided round one matchup I mean it these are two powerhouses let's be honest I if we were looking at the top 25 of sauces these are top five teams right here I'll be honest for me personally I'm a saucy garlic parm guy I like barbecue you put Garlic parm you add a little heat to to it all of a sudden I've eaten 50 of those bad boys I'm feeling sad about myself I'm full but I'm feeling sad about myself because all I ate was nuggets for dinner for me I am the biggest honey barbecue fan ever I think that's my number one on the power ranking of this entire list right here for me the spicy honey barbecue in the top right kind of has my eye too but I don't really know how I feel about the spicy sometimes sometimes I just want the regular honey barbecue no spice no nothing don't have water scared of spice that's fine prop just scared of spice and and we get it and we'll get you some some some bland honey barbecue and I'll be over here with the delicious spicy garlic P do we have any we don't yet yeah I hear there might be some coming and of course you can order some right now while you're tuning in to EA Sports college football 2025 but we're going to send things to a quick break when we come back our Marquee showcase matchup between Caden and Ethan fromy State and Tennessee are going to be squared up so don't go far we'll back with the gameplay right for this in the Air National Guard you not only serve your country but the community you call home with career and Leadership opportunities Healthcare and education benefits and the freedom to choose how you serve you're able to become the best you in the Air National Guard hey dude shoes are lightweight comfortable stylish and affordable shoes that are made for both men and women find your perfect pair of heot shoes today Wendy's is bringing the sauce to game day with their new Saucy nugs the nugs you love just got better almonds can help you recover from EX exercise in and out of the game eat your almonds so you're ready for the next one ain't no secret this fan in your CB you just got it wanted baby eating almond can help you recover from exercise fellas get after so eat your almonds oh your cra [Music] on the 30 y [Music] [Music] almond is the and we are back live here from Charlotte North Carolina Duke's Mayo classic and we're here with the r cry colleg Championship Nick mesco dcro with you and we got a really fun match up coming up NC State tenness Tennessee inside of college football 25 what's really cool about this game I think is we're going to get to see the the dichotomy between Tennessee and the running game and ncate in the passing game I cannot wait to see how how Tennessee does look on offense I think Tennessee is loaded on offense and it really is led by their running back Samson he's also 95 speed within this game too so any type of run that he gets into the open field he might just be gone yeah that's going to be fun to see obviously Nico at quarterback for Tennessee that defense we maybe don't talk about enough with Tennessee and they're really good in game yeah the big thing about Tennessee it is their front four that front four has five players over 80 overall so when I look at this team in terms of defensively and how they're constructed it is that front forward that I'm looking to get pressure to take some pressure off of that secondary James Pierce I mean I mean what can you do when you have a guy that dominant on the line I mean we've seen in the NFL with guys like miles Garrett TJ watt when you got that one guy you have to focus on all the time it really change your defensive game plan and one thing I want to say is that there's a new ability system within college football 25 and one of the abilities that James Pierce does have is quick jump and essentially what quick jump does is going to allow your defensive player to get off the line of scrimmage faster when the ball is snapped James Pierce has the max ability of that which is platinum there's all different tiers starting at bronze and all the way up to platinum James Pierce has Platinum of that so I'm anticipating James Pierce to be a wrecking ball this entire game it's going to be interesting to see uh if we can find a little bit of offense for NC State uh as these guys get ready to go in the show match this this best of three match uh between I think you you mentioned it earlier the pride for playing for your school it's not just about playing the game it's not just about being here in Charlie it's about representing school and these two guys really want to represent their teams effectively exactly the pride of being able to be that person to show up for your school out here in North Carolina there's a huge Pride that comes with that too so hopefully both of these people able to show out and have a great game today it is Tennessee on offense this game being played in Raleigh so you are going to see as a nice hand off Samson up the middle picking up 10 you are going to see the crowd be a factor in this game yeah one of the big things is home field advantage HomeField Advantage is such a big thing within this game and one of the things that HomeField Advantage can do is it just makes it harder at the line of scrimmage to be able to snap and make hot runs in the shotgun he'll give it to Seldon this time as Seldon breaks a tackle and Seldon is rumbling down the field all the way down to the 35 yd line power football out of those that wide slot formation and right off the bat we are seeing the hurry up offense one thing is that they are going to run back to the line of scrimmage instead of just having an auto runoff right there he's going to go right back to the Run game and is able to get another strong run as seld him back to work on the ground and I have a feeling with Tennessee it's going to be ground in pound over and over again I agree Tennessee has so many good running backs there's another running back that I didn't even mention who has 97 speed I believe he's like their fourth string running back there's so many running backs that Tennessee does have in this game that you can just keep running the ball with them they're seld the 93 speed 88 carrying so they're going to try to take out the Run game maybe deliver some hits com out of this like wide double stack formation two to each side AA hands it to Seldon Seldon cuts inside he's down near the 10 yd line we'll call it the 11 and right now this running game no answer on the side of NC State and one of the things that I do want to mention we've seen a lot of run plays but squirrel squirrel white is one of the receivers for tenness that's 95 speed super super fast and as fighting forward once again yeah that's the thing is it's not just a running team if they want to pass the ball they have the weapons they have I believe it's five receivers over 80 overall so you are able to spread the ball a ton if you want to with this Tennessee offense imala back into the shotgun he's got Seldon on his right hip first and goal finally a little pressure from the defense but it doesn't matter as they run and run and run some more all the way down to the end zone this touchdown brought to you by California almonds as early lead for Tennessee one thing that I do one of the things that I do want to see a little bit more from Kaden is or excuse me Ethan is I would love to see him in a little bit more of a 4D line set he's coming out in a lot of 335 which I know is what NC is known for but after seeing that first drive he needs a little bit more support in that run game to be able to try to get a stop all right now we got to see what Ethan can do offensively very different looking offense for NC State Grayson McCall at quarterback do have Waters a great running back I'm interested to see if we see any sort of passing attack from Grayson McCall in the wolf pack it'll be interesting from him talking to him I think a lot of the Run game is what to be ex is to be expected is right there you can see first down able to pick up a solid four and the way I look at it is if you always pick up four yards you're going to keep picking up first down so as long as you're able to pick up four yards on every first down that is a successful Run play well if they want to pass it though Kevin concepion is an absolute monster out there might be putting on some plays tonight for NC State it's going to be third and one coming up for Ethan and one of the things to mention is that NC State does have a good offensive line Anthony belon is a superstar left tackle so I'm interested to see how he holds up against James Pierce that's going to be a great one-on-one battle on third down Mcall hands it to Waters Waters nowhere to go it's me fourth and short and I don't know about you I don't know if the punt team's coming out I was going to say fourth and one he's coming out in go line he's actually going to try to make an early statement right here trying to pick this up and I love this aggressiveness from him McCall under Center three tight ends out there power football it's QB sneak and Grayson McCall the former Coastal Carolina shant clear Tak it on first down I love the aggressiveness early right there typically you know when it comes to the real game you're going to see the punter a little bit more first drive you might want to punt play field position college football limited possessions you want to make sure that you're able to capitalize on as many as possible first pass of the game it's out to the halfback it is Waters Jordan Waters picking up a couple and that's a good way maybe to get into a rhythm listen there's a lot going on here you're on the truck you got twitch watching you got people watching here live just an easy pass to the flat one thing that's was talking about Ethan 2 you want to try to hit your check Downs right there again you want to hit those quick reads you want to get into a rhythm you don't want to First the ball down early make a mistake hit your check Downs make those positive plays early on there's a nice little read over the middle drag route's going to set up a third and two this NC State Playbook got a chance to mess around with a little bit got a lot of triple option speed option not a little bit of read option but they like getting on the outside with Mcall and with Waters let's see if they go to this one it's going to be third and two it's going to be a handoff to Waters and that is absolutely destroyed middle of the field a car crash fourth and two let's see I don't know if the Special Teams unit maybe he's going to trust this I don't know if I trust my defense the way uh Kaden just walked down the field literally running the ball I was going to say decision time again and we're actually going to see a punt right here now for me personally if you're going for that first first down four why you go for this one you got to go for the next one too you got to keep that aggressiveness nature with your place calling seven nothing it is the falls and Kaden back on offense Nico iamal Eva the Cali man now with Tennessee Tennessee recruited him hard out of the Bay Area going back to work and I like the tempo as Seldon seldon's got room the ref is blocking people that can't be okay it's another first down using that Tempo offense it's not like the old school hurry up you're actually able to call some plays out of that it keeps the defense on their heels I'd love the tempo and I'd love what he's doing right now I'm so big on if you cannot stop a play keep going back to and as as I say that he's actually going to go he's got him Brazil down to the 15 yd line the first pass of the game how about 34 yards that is one of the that is the third best receiver on this Tennessee offense Brazil expect him to play a lot in the slot in specifically college football 25 Big Time play for inside Zone Action and Seldon oh you could drive a bus through that lane too easy for Seldon he's into the end zone second one of the day Kaden opens up a two-score lead and you can see quickly right there nine rushes a 111 yard for Ethan to get back in this game he's got to try to find something on defense to try to slow down that run game and get him to be a little bit more more one dimensional and try to pass the ball more if you're an NC State fan you're watching this you're like man I hope this is not how the game goes tonight you got to just hope that in the real game tonight that there is any form of Defense I kind of look at the Michigan ubb game right now that's kind of what I feel like I'm watching right now Michigan in that national championship game just dominated the Run game early will Ethan be a to make the changes to stop that run as this game goes on and now Michael penx gets to back up Kurt Cousins so congrats Michael first and 10 341 to go here first half Grayson McCall back to pass he'll throw it to the flat and finds Jordan Waters nice pick up there I feel like the the halfbacks out of the back field of these little flat routes it looks like it's not going to gain a lot but they have so much speed so much athleticism on both sides of the ball it's a great weapon to get away from that run game and at least keep the defense honest one of the big things about college football 25 is the movement is so much faster you just want to get the ball to your Playmakers because as you can see one Juke right there to the outside and that is a touchdown that we are now commentating and Jordan wat's got side step on him so that juke move is going to be even better than for other people side step again one of those abilities as Nick just said is an ability that's going to allow for better Juke animations in this game trying to go for that little shotgun counterplay those counter plays are tough to set up you need a lot of time for your offensive line to set the blocks and if there's any sort of pressure especially with the speed that Tennessee has on defense it it's not going to be successful yeah Tennessee there is a player in the secondary 95 speed his name is Matthews uh you can't throw that ball there were about five white jerseys out there and Grayson mccole you guys are not wearing white is he going to make a house call he's out of here touchdown Kaden Tennessee with the route yeah that's the first time we've seen him try to push the ball downfield pass the first down marker and it is a mistake for him right there again it'll be interesting to see what can happen these are long games a lot think could happen you get the ball at halftime too you're going to try to want to double jit the chip right here at halftime get that seven before half and then get that seven right out of halfth that interception brought to you by the Air National Guard the Air National Guard you not only serve your country but also the community you call home right here I love the decision also to bring it out so many big plays can happen right there did end up actually working out for him as we see a little bit of a replay of that Air National Guard interception return for a touchdown and here's the thing you said Grayson McCall might have to throw for some touchdowns I don't think you're hoping to throw some touchdowns to Tennessee we're saing for NC State and he's going to throw another one right here as franois says thank you wait hold on is it nope it is September it is not Christmas and that was a Christmas gift to the middle of the Tennessee defense not the greatest start right here you want to look for the team in red right now you want to look for the team in red you want to try to get the ball right there as right here it looks first time five wide we're seeing it is it looks like we're not getting the Run game right here unless we get a little bit of a quarterback draw which is a thing no we're going to the pass game I mean you're up 21 nothing why not throw the ball he's got Matthews wide open lots of space into the end zone once again burnt orange has got to be happy seeing this in game one and that might be my Saucy play of the day at the 2 yd line make a play and die for the End Zone don't get tackled the one red Zone's difficult to score in that diving of into the end zone is a bossy play you can fumble but it works out right there for him to get the seven 28 nothing all 10 see sau's play is brought to by Wendy's Wendy's bring the sauce to game day with their new Saucy nugs the nugs you love just got even better all right 28 nothing game's not over yet you got to answer on this drive you just got to get into a rhythm we saw early from Ethan we saw a lot of those checkdowns let's see if we go he goes back to that there that little stick concept it looked like and Roger so much speed we don't we talk about the speed on Tennessee side but with the speed on on North Carolina State side with a veteran quar some of those slant routes those easy reach just make a couple of those don't get too complicated exactly just find those shck Downs get back to what was working for you early oh my God look at just Pierce has quick jump on him doesn't he Pierce has every single good defensive ability I mean I just watched him just off the ball looked like he was shot out of a cannon he's also got this ability called pocket disruptor just going to get a better push for you as well he's got the max abilities that you can have in this game is eight James Pierce has eight abilities you there's so many other things I could list off but quick jump and pocket disruptor are going to be the two main ones to watch out for call back to pass he's in trouble he's lucky that one swed white you see the little snowflake icon down by Grayson McCall it the momentum is a big part of the game here in college football 25 momentum is a huge part of the game you're talking about the stadium pulse on top of that too that cold little thing that you can see next to his uh player at the bottom of the screen is just going to decrease some of his ratings in terms of being able to make plays minute 26 left first down Kaden Kaden's been dominated so far 28 nothing Ethan trying to answer little split wi formation he'll give it to Waters I don't love going to the Run game there you don't have a lot of time left he's going to use his uh timeout there actually what was that Kaden using a timeout he's trying to get the ball back up 28 nothing looks like Kaden wants to get this ball back again just to pad onto his lead before half it's going to say I feel like going up into even 21 and half you got to feel pretty comfortable with it but it looks like he wants to get more points coming out of this mat oh taking hits with Grayson Mcall it's tough in this game it's tough in this game Grace McCall picks up a couple he actually it looked like he had the comeback route on the left side open one of the tougher routes to throw you got to get used to the timing of that but it can be very effective it's one of the things when you feel a little bit cold passing you get a little bit Happy Feet and you just want to take off immediately there's a quick drag that was one of the best animations we've seen from a linebacker 51 y field goal from here new thing here in college ball kicking is not a gimme I would be terrified to kick this right here kicking is difficult Ethan is going to like to kick right here this might be the play of the day if he hits this right there he not he he didn't he actually just hit some a fan in row one uh can we get a health check health check Row one popcorn vendor down I will say even for someone like myself that has been grinding college football that has been playing on the 5 yard is tough 51 yards it's scares me that is one of those Downs in distance and decisions that I would probably have gone for it malava dropping back about 400 yard and he's going to throw this into single coverage and the first mistake we've seen from Kaden can boyin get NY State on the board out past Midfield he'll take it all the way down to the 44 yd line obviously I probably a read that Kaden would like back one thing I will mention too is that NC State does have really two really good defensive backs boyin is one of them and Aiden white is the other one they're their two 86 and 87 overall on defense so maybe that they'll be able to make some plays in terms of being able to get turnovers for Ethan going forward all for the best I mean let's here outside Bank of America Stadium I I I listen it might have been inter thing if it was me I'd be pulling the plug anyways it nothing say down 28-0 at that point we've all had it happen right the rage quit the rage pause just wanting to get done with the game you know you might accidentally hit a cable hit something like that just to try to get a move on to the next game uh at 28 nothing at half I mean let's be clear you're you're a professional Madden player you've been in situations like that how hard is it in this game to come back down 28 28 is difficult I think when you see like 21 you're thinking okay 21 I'm getting ball at half if I'm able to make something before half you know I can make that deficit easily seven with him getting ball then but 28 it's a type of situation where you would need so many things to break your way to come back in that game I I honestly I'm going to blame shift he's around here somewhere I think he unplugged something I think he's trying to help out just trying to give him give him a little boost I know we don't want to see a 28 nothing and I know tonight we're not going to see a 28 nothing game because NC State and Tennessee battling it out two top 25 teams second Marquee game and you get the night game you get Herby and Fowler I mean the atmosphere is going to be crazy here Charlotte let's just talk about Herby and Fowler in terms of what they did for college football 25 these two guys love college football they were sitting and they were doing so many things in terms of broadcasting you hear all the unique calls all the time of what happens in the video game these guys both love college football in any aspect of it whether it be the video game or real life I mean Herby has to go from college game day get on the plane get out here college game day in an arbor getting on the plane flying here uh a true dedication to college football it's what we love about college football we were so excited to see college football the video game back yeah college football as I said 11 years without this video game to finally for it to be back it's such a cool experience to be able to have events like this shout out to R rale Kai to be able to put on this event you've got the Air National Guard you've got Wendy's you've got hey dude and you've got also California almonds in terms of being able to help sponsor and this is a really cool thing that California alond did inside of college football 25 there's actually a California almond nil deal so nil such a big part of the college football landscape you're able to sign a deal with California almonds inside the game I think that's really cool to have them as not just a sponsor of this tour but have them actually in the game we're playing each and every week it's so cool because one of the things that they put a ton of time in is that player mode where you start off as a freshman and you can pick your overall that you do start off as and you're able then to sign in an L deal if your player does good enough throughout your career in college football 25 can we get a confirmation whether shift unplugged things shift are you unplugging things over there you unplugging stuff was it you okay just check I had to check I was told I I listen I thought you were trying to help 28 nothing just pull a plug okay we confirmed it it wasn't shift but we will launch a full investigation uh just see what's going on there probably big shout out to California almonds almond can help you recover from exercise in and out of the game eat your almond so you're ready for the next one eat your almonds own your Prime you can't have bows of almonds around me by the way cuz by the end of this I mean this this entire Bowl going to be gone I was going to say I've actually made a a decent dent in mine I see your bowl over there I've been hearing you crunch it you got to settle down man I was going to say I I got to make sure that there's still some in the bowl right like I can't eat all of the almonds I need something on the table right isn't that a great advertisement for the almonds is that they're gone they're so good you had to eat them all I was going to say I I just keep looking at like every time in between a call or something I'm just I'm looking at these almonds wanting to eat them really good got we're going to do it two it's 28 nothing so we're doing a we don't have to recreate though don't calm down yeah in Madden we have to actually like recreate we're just going to play two more quarters so uh tall task for Ethan he's going to need to be up by 29 at the end of these uh but uh we got a little got we did a whole new we changed stadiums we changed jerseys I mean a little bit of everything here maybe maybe just the change of Mojo will'll get Ean back into this game exactly you know no actual halftime in these types of games you just get right into the third quarter but with that disconnect we get a little bit of time in between now the first and the second half so let's see if anything changes in this game right now maybe Samson won't get worn and torn right off the rip I mean did you see he took one hit and I mean the NC State Defense hits hard don't get me wrong and that's one of the new things is where and Terra is a new feature in this game so every hit can decrease your ratings and what Nick is talking about right there is after that first hit Danny or Sams took a big hit and essentially what ended up happening is he had less speed throughout the rest of the game first and 10 for the balls not a lot of room up the middle I think one of the abilities you see ability such a big part of of the virtual football sphere at this point but that layout ability for wide receivers able to use that new pass lead put it farther out and these guys making diving catches yeah and if you've played Madden before there's an ability called acrobat which is super similar to it but layout as you guys can see again I mean that's a tough throw that's a tough throw and a great call out right there from Nick but that layout ability is just for any diving catches is going to increase the ability for you to be able to make that play and catch it I mean he's it looks like about four streaks out there drag underneath is the tight end oh my Lord act like he hurt somebody and right there that was Aiden white who made that hit right there one of my players to watch for tonight's game and on the virtual iron second down Samson will take the carry L inside Zone Action try to Bounce It Outside good defense third down opportunity little momentum here for Ethan and NC State you got to start somewhere right the Patriots were able to come down from 28 to 3 they had to get plays early maybe this is going to be the play early for something to happen but not right there another dot to get a first down oh c out looks like the zon just sort of came off that route and Nico floats it out there I think he's looking for the wheel route he wants the wheel route click on make a play Carter able to pry that one free yeah it looks like right now that it doesn't look like he's content with 28 to zero he wants more points and he wants to try to run up this score maybe it's a pris thing maybe he wants to say Tennessee is here and this is what going to happen later in tonight's game I mean maybe he can get a little momentum for the actual Tennessee Squad and Josh hle tonight he can start Tennessee off on the right foot best of three so again this is not the only game this might be one of those in a best of three listen you have a bad performance the nice part about best of three it's 0 0 at the start of the next game this one just finishing up two quarters here little drag a little in route underneath it is white down to the 10 yd line takes a big hit but he'll take it all the way inside the 10 first and goal for Kaden and there it is one of The Playmakers for Tennessee for a white 95 speed for him able to get the ball in his hands and pick up that first down Samson cuts inside breaking tackles all the way down to the one and my yard line that I despise to be on is the one old old school it'll be interesting to see he's going to that QB blast Maybe he has something of his sleeve right there in zone Nico for six 34o lead and at this point to it looks like Tennessee is in a pretty comfortable situation and what I'm going doing right now if I'm NC State I'm trying to pick up on those little things right what are the things that I can pick up on in the rest of the game to give myself an advantage going into game two go Nico go touchdown once again again playing two quarters here the last game disconnected 28 nothing so it is 35 nothing right now but hey it's not over yet it's not over yet what is it you need you need five touchdowns right here so anything can happen in these games now what we've got 6 minutes and 52 seconds of actual game time left so we'll have to go ahead and see if NC State is able to get anything going in this game I just want to say that I personally am am so heartbroken to see right now that Texas is up 24 to3 on Michigan I'm I'm so sad about that like oh darn what about pen St they're up they're up three on on Bowling Green shout out to the Falcons we did have pen stay on upet alert earlier but it looks like that they were able to crawl back in this game and take the lead as wat will take carry also you got right now two ranked teams down right now two lanes down uh up 10 on Kansas State and Arkansas is up 2110 on Oki state so a couple possible M tier upsets going on right now as we hit about the 230 window hand off to Waters inside Zone he'll pick up a first down and I know what you were worried about Lehi is up 49 to6 on Wagner so that was the game I was that was my number one game that that was the game I wanted to make sure I had update shout out to the Patriot league First and 10 Grace McCall gives it Jordan Waters takes another big hit I mean I think a lot gets talked about the offense for Tennessee how good Samson is we and Grayson McCall obviously High powerered veteran presence but Jordan Waters should not be overlooked on this NC State offense yeah he's what an 84 overall in this game too he's going to be that type of guy that you're looking just to get the tough yardage he's going to be your Bell cow you want to make sure you get four or five yards with him and that's the type of player that you're looking for with him says second quarter but we're going to the fourth quarter it's it's 35 nothing but not over yet still 5 minutes to go handoff Waters right side picking up some yards and breaking tackles and still rolling resiliency thy name is Waters and one thing right there to mention is that wear and tear feature they have that little bar so you just saw a yellow bar right there and essentially what that yellow bar is going to do is is to decrease that stat so Waters obviously probably not going to try to feed him the ball a ton throughout the rest of this game so he's got a little wear and te needs to recover a little bit needs to recover probably eat some California almonds California almond I've heard they're great in terms of being able to fix that wear and tear fourth quarter brought to you by he dude he dude shoes are lightweight comfortable stylish and affordable shoes that are made for both men and women find your perfect pair of heo shoes today juke move for Collins down to Midfield pick up 13 third and five for Ethan and n State the other thing is here knowing that it's a best of three you can also work on a little offense try to get into Rhythm and see what may work next time out exactly just find those little things right now you're at the point of the game where I think it's fair to say this game is probably over so just try to find those little things that's going to be successful next game is right there that underneath game has been a super successful thing for him fourth in a yard I don't think the punter is coming out could be wrong it looks like I mean he has success earlier going to this goal line formation with that quarterback sneak it looks like he might be going back to it right here fourth in a yard it's graay Mcall 6-2 frame finds himself a first down we are under three to go in game one I do really like what he's done in terms of whenever he's had that intermediate passing game feel like whenever he tried to push the ball downfield that's where things have looked a little bit shaky right there right there as I say that uhoh it's Fran sis Fran dancing on him oh he's dancing on him wide open he's still running 10 five it's like a doctor in the 50s cuz we're making a house call and Nick that is officially that is the Saucy play of the game stunning on your opponent at the 40 yd line then hitting him with a spin move making him Miss with that dive tackle and finishing it with a touchdown that touchdown brought to you by California almonds thank you to California almonds for sponsoring the tour eat your almonds own your Prime and speaking of owning right now it is ownership he's got a plaque he's got a deed it is all Caden in this one as it says 14 nothing but we know the score 42 skunk yeah are you quitting out of this game at this point if if this is happened to you online have you already unplugged the system see this I have PR I need a point I need F I'll kick a field goal at this point I I cannot be skunked in this situation I need to make sure that I'm able to put at least a single point on the board I mean hit the dead leg hit the spin move hit a little bit of everything Grayson McCall in trouble and he's going to get hit by the Tennessee defense all the way back at the three all line we're on safety alert and at this point too I think at this point maybe you start thinking about taking a knee maybe you're just running the ball out just try to get into field goal range and hit that three you're just honestly at this point I'm just looking for the pride of not giving up a safety exactly I know I agree just cuz think about it if if you get a safety right here the defense has won two to zero think about that if he gets a safety which it doesn't look like we'll end up happening I mean Fair the defense is up 14 nothing with two pick sixes so oh that's fair I 16 to zero I forgot about that I remember I'm a big Seahawks fan personally I remember you know that Super Bowl the SE the Seahawks defense outscored the Broncos offense in that game so you want to make sure that doesn't happen in this game call back to pass Little Wheel route out of the back field nice little play to Jordan Waters to the 40 yd line it's interesting to see him not go to any hurry up too you know you saw a lot from I wouldn't be hurrying up you got to try to get a point Nick you just you got you got to try to just get a point at this point Mall back to pass he's looking off that that exra seem run he's run across her skinny pose he's been open back toback places he's got that route underneath pulling that linebacker down I'd be looking for something a little deeper I know you're working underneath there's only a minute 27 ago at this point find that one-on-one match up and throw it deep you got to look out uh yeah there's James P look at all those platinums you can see right there F favorite winning time pocket disruptor so many things that James Pierce has that makes him so dominant in this game he's just a bad bad man and they move him inside they move him outside taking a shot over the top slot fade and Gibson swats this one away fourth and 10 fourth and pride right now I don't know about you Nick but at this point I'm picking Hail Mary I'm picking Hail Mary I'm just saying hopefully at this point we can have something go my way see if you can catch a deflection see if you can get a lucky play as you guys can see right here he is actually going to end up picking this tell marry here we go fourth and 10 mall mall Mcall come on man make a okay swed away well game two is coming up and uh what's great about that is it starts 0 0 0 and looking at this game I will say does look like Tennessee might have a slight Advantage going into game two but anything can happen we'll see what can end up happening in game two I'll say this can't get much worse can't get worse that is true at this point nothing can be worse than what has happened within this game Sam right side I mean good [Applause] hit CH clock turned on love that there's nothing better than being able to toggle on CH clock that's when you just feel like in this situation you it's mission accomplished Right Chew clock is on run the ball a couple times the game is just over so that's going to wrap this one up you can take this all all the way down to zeros dropped 28 unplugged the internet and uh we we then came back and still didn't give up any points I mean the defense is the answer two pick sixes game one it goes to Kaden all Tennessee in this one if you're a wolf pack fan you got to send those vibes to the chat to man Ethan because uh he needs them uh he needs points let's start with points I think the big thing too is just just get on the board next game can be three you know actually maybe it can't be three we still have try to kick field goal kicking is difficult in this game even for someone like maybe not get three get seven get seven let's just let's just get seven let's have a good drive but at that's point it's just about getting points on the next game make sure you don't get skunked again try to find any points to have it work so these guys going to get back into game and it's I mean what a first game uh hopefully that's not how it goes tonight I think it's going to be a little closer a little bit later but uh game two an opportunity to set games are reset you probably have like a 10 or 15 minute break now you have a little bit of time you know maybe this is where you hit up your friend right you hit a your college dorm roommate you say hey what what should hit a Deft hey can you get me some plays man I need a little bit of something just anything anything any sort of play guys we're going to take a quick break but when we come back it is game two as these two students NC State and Tennessee battle out before the big game tonight don't go anywhere we'll be back from Charlotte in the Air National Guard you not only serve your country but the Community you call home with career and Leadership opportunities Healthcare and education benefits and the freedom to choose how you serve you're able to become the best you in the Air National Guard hey dude shoes are lightweight comfortable stylish and affordable shoes that are made for both men and women find your perfect pair of he Boot shoes today Wendy's is bringing the sauce to game day with their new Saucy

there's only one prize but you can recover like me almonds every day they can help you recover from exercise to keep you pre you want to stay Prime right Hey cuz Prime couch oh I still got eat your own ones own your PR [Music] [Music] [Music] the [Music] Y get it ain't no mein all right we are are here after game number one with Ethan uh brother this is the California Almond's game day recovery moment because what just happened was not exactly pretty what are we thinking right now though coming in the game to oh I'm just out here to have fun um never really played the game before so we're uh at a little bit of a disadvantage but I'm going to go out swinging we'll see what happens looked like you had some some success pounding the rock getting the Run game going are you going to stick to that or what we changing things up for next game we I don't know yet we'll we'll find out though legitimately Wild card as heck but hey we got to get you game number two win what do you need from the wolf pack to inspire this comeback story um I think it's I think it's me not exactly the wolf pack that's failing but maybe some some yards that would help yards would help I'm glad you're having fun good luck at game number two boys at the desk back over to you guys as we get things kicked off back with you here from the desk Nick mesco decro with you so yeah game one 42 points one side big old goose egg on the other side plus side can't score less than zero so an opportunity I know he's happy to be here but if he gets a touchdown on that's what we call Improvement I was going to say he said he's just here to have fun so play loose call for verticals try to push the ball down field try to throw that one-on-one play try to maybe make a play you know I said in the first game try to hit your checkdowns and stuff like that but if he's just here to have fun let lose throw the ball have fun just go for it have fun it will be interesting to watch uh what we saw from uh Kaden and tenis SC it was the defense that really set everything up we had two pick sixes but that ground game with Samson was really rolling and they were able to be I mean I think they were probably around 10 11 yards per carry uh if you're Ethan you got to find a way to stop the run I was going to say as somebody that's very knowledgeable when it comes to college football 25 the video game Samson is one of the best running backs in the game he is 95 speed he can't get caught in the open field and he has the ability to do really good spin move so he is so so good in terms of stopping him it's so difficult just CU I try to love the Box put a put nine people in the box and just try to do anything to stop the run game and force them to pass Force ni go to pass the ball and offensively if you're Ethan I I I think you're right those checkdowns were what was working early working the ball to the halfback working the ball to Waters out of the back field finding some of those drag rout soften up the defense and then take your deep shots he's going to have to start out on defense here to start as they're playing in the big house a neutral sight game we know something about neutral sight between these two teams yeah shout out to Charlotte this is such a cool area cool experience in terms of being able to be right outside of the Bank of America Stadium we are literally right by the Bank of America Stadium can't wait for the game later tonight Samson takes the carry first down picking up two again it is Ethan and the NC State wolf pack taking on Kaden and the Tennessee Volunteers second down and eight niik IAM malava back to work it is Samson with the carry already a little better didn't give up a chunk play Third and five and right there obvious passing situation now third and five you held them to two rushes for five yards great start he goes back to pass it's just four slant routes and one of them is going to come open eventually it is brazelle with the catch and feed and bounce only needed one he got two one of the cool things about college 2 is that within the college football video game you can hurry up when you actually go out of bound so you're seeing him go to this color hurry up offense a lot in these games and there goes Samson that hurry up I think the biggest thing it's the turbo offense use it by tapping would be the x button on on Xbox square button on uh Playstation and what's cool about it is if you can get that ball snap the D line just jumps a little slower it gives you a little more time opens up some running lanes and now he's going to take a shot that's covered though brazelle almost able to make the catch yeah that was a big time hit right there by Aiden white came out of actually out of nowhere like a missile will be able to break that one up back to the ground goes Samson spin move spinning and winning 15 10 five to the house touchdown that touchdown brought to you by californ Al the California almonds for sponsoring the tour and eat your almonds own your Prime and he is owning his Prime on the ground with Samson I think these competitors are listening to me I don't think I saw a spin that entire first game I mentioned right before in this game that how good the spin move was and right there you saw exactly why that spin move good cheating we got cheating cheating listen Ethan I know things are going wrong can't be roughing kickers out here can't believe it uncalled for as kick is away 7even nothing nothing Kaden picking up right where he left off now Ethan goes on offense Grayson McCall in the NC State wolf pack and I think getting that ground game going is going to be important too I think another thing too is trying to get Kevin concepion a little bit involved I don't think he had a single catch in the first game he's such a good player you can see he has a star underneath of him too he's one of the best players on the cense state [Applause] offense later tonight Bank of America Stadium you'll see these two teams in action top 25 matchup little B the ACC Pride on the line little counter for Waters nowhere to go if you're if you're NC State not only do you want to win for your own record for your chance at the college football playoff new 12 team playoff but for some ACC Pride the ACC everybody's kind of looking down on them but don't forget the SEC in high-profile games last week went one and three so Tennessee is looking to get them on the right track taking a shot up top it's Rogers nowhere to go he had the halfback ERS out of the back field on Wheel route open I did like the aggressiveness right there third and 12 push the ball down the first past the first down marker and try to make a play the kick is away so an early three and out for Kaden the vs as white Juke moose spin uhoh uh-oh we got trouble as White's got speed can't get him and there goes white down the sideline special teams special players white stunt on him touchdown and that is why you try to get the ball into your playmaker hands in any way possible 95 speed put him at kick returner put him at pun returner and let him make a play Tennessee going absolutely nuts with these California almond touchdowns each your almond own your Prime 14 nothing you scored on offense you scored on special team I mean pure dominance so far from Kaden and the Tennessee balls and it might make Ethan think twice about punting down 14 nothing taking a big hit on the kinger return he's going to have to start all the way back at the 16 yd line and right here if you're Ethan just try to get something going I was trying to get the Run game involved a little bit right here looks like he is actually going to go to a little bit of motion right here motion the running back over looks like he might have to SL and he does have to SL Rogers ni thr got a free release on the inside able to pick up a first down sometimes just even a first down get the momentum going exactly you just need one first down at a time the biggest first down you can always make is that first first down oh Texas scored again 31 to6 oh so sorry oh darn I'm sad you sound very sad over that I'm really sad ah ner Bowling Green hanging in there Bowling Green only down three right now 14 nothing in our game little motion drag route oh he's looking to the corner and he's got him he's he's got him on the top and there he is Kevin conceps own first down great read in man cover seing the quarter out Break Free yeah a little bit more time right there after the catch he might have been able to hit a spinner Juke to make that a bigger play than it was but this is by far the best drive that we have seen so far from Ethan update Yukon is up 63 to7 on marac so for you marac fans out there it's not looking good he goes to the back field for Waters and Waters is going to lose a yard right there too it looks like he actually had a screen set up to the other side of the field and he decided to actually throw that back across to his running back there wasn't able to get anything going now we're going to go back to the ground Jordan Waters lost a yard on the pass play picks up nine on the ground third and two might be able to take this to the second quarter one thing that I wanted to quickly touch on is the pride of the ACC against SEC ACC has not looked good so far this year Nick Florida state Florida State's been getting kind of work it's really just Florida State right it's just Florida State actually they have not won in their own country or another country so far yes that is it is uh the ACC maybe ncate will maybe the NC State will actually be the team that comes away with the conference title at the end of the year you've obviously got Clemson in there couple of teams that are ranked right now maybe they'll be able to make a run with the for State kind of fluttering early I'm going to turn around play coordinator don't kick it go for it I want to see a jet touch B you know what I wanted to see a fake field goal they going to bring the offense Grace Mcall back out on the field shotgun formation three wide to the right one to left side J the tight end on the line thr it oh a great pass lead inside dangerous throw but able to pick up a first down and who else Kevin concepion and that is a great if he was to pass lead that to the left that was a pick but he passes it to the right shoulder and is able to pick up the first down I wonder if he looks Poco nope he's going to look underneath that's a tough throw to Waters well cover those linebackers staying with the speed of Jordan Waters yeah it looked like right there he might have had a chance with it but it looked like his route running just didn't look good enough to get that separation needed to get that player open call go back to that counter run and Waters has room Waters fight down to the one yd line and right here it's the yard line that nobody wants to be in but he has like this goal line quarterback sneak I'm interested to see will he go back to and it looks like he is picking goal ey but I had to guess if if I had to guess right here it is going to be a goal line sneak but he's going to have to go up against goal line defense pinches the dline come on Grayson down to the one second and goal and if it's me personally I'm going right back to it four straight quarterback sneak from the one yard line I like my changes to pick it up down under three to play in the first half mcco in the shotgun three wide gives it Waters he scores he scores no shut out today I'm so happy we got a ball game I mean we really do too I know obviously we're thinking a little bit about that first game but it's only a seven-point game he gets a stop right here and he has a chance to potentially win this game that touchdown brought you by California almonds eat your almond own your Prime what a great drive by him though he's actually had he's had a lot more success as these games has gone on he found Kevin concepion he's found the ways to get his playmaker the ball he's had start to have a lot more success now he's got to find some defense uhoh there goes Seldon Seldon up the sideline to the 30 SP back inside he's to the 40 he's to the 50 you might as well call him NASA cuz he's got nothing but space out there touchdown Seldon special teams two scores you were saying he needs to find some defense he needs just find some special teams defense second Return of the day both of 80 plus yards too two big time plays right there for Kaden was so excited for you Ethan now you got to go back on offense but he misses the extra point not so special teams right there 20 to7 the score stays two and a half plenty of time for Ethan to get down the field let's see if he does keep getting the ball to Kevin concepion on this drive punt return kick return offensive touchdown just Tennessee needs a defensive touchdown and kind of hit the trifecta think about that he has in in his last two game I guess what game and a half now uhoh uh-oh that was James Pierce he was there in a hurry 28 points on defense and special teams in these last two games Waters nowhere to go it's going to set up a third and 10 I like that X under one of my favorite little trips decides to go here with Grayson McCall postal transfer and the shotgun emptied out five wide we'll get the two-minute warning though I'm sorry in college it's the two-minute timeout they've been told not to call the two minute it's the two-minute timeout but it'll go five wide look out for James Pierce right up the middle and that one is picked off peely with the pick trying to find some room peely breaking tackles peely looking for six he'll be taken out at the 25 looked like he might have had that deeper Crossing route it looked like X could have potentially been open right there may have not been able to see it was down the field tries to force it underneath pass right there wasn't able to have it in Tennessee with the interception Nico back to pass he finds Matthews underneath maybe three if there's one thing we've learned about Kaden just known him for this short time he's not taking the foot off the gas Kaden is a hurry up specialist is what I would consider him he loves hurry up he loves getting to the line of scrimmage and making plays hits a little spot route underneath and hurries back to line five wide it's all hitches he's got R1 nope he's going to take off with Nico Nico rumbling into the end zone Nico IAM malava saying we love the orange 26 to7 your score that's really one of the first times that we've seen Nico's athleticism on display it's been a lot of just lasering up and down the field finding the open player as right there he's going for a it no oh let's not get crazy out here all right it's unall for that's was UNS sporting I'm filing a grievance fake up by three scores do we have a gaming commission here I can file agreements with have you ever faked up have you ever faked an extra point up by uh three scores never fak that sort of scumbag I don't think I've ever faked an extra point before just checking I didn't know who I was working with does seem like Kaden wants to assert that dominance for later on in this match up though he wants to show that tennessy is just the flat out better team this is what's going to happen later oh good SWAT I was hoping Rogers clear that safety but no jacobe Thomas able to swat that one down you are seeing at college football 25 a lot more swats and deflections than maybe you might have seen the years past of men yeah one of the big things is this SWAT animation is very very good you're able to get a lot of crazy SWAT animations right there out R that's a great throw right there from Ethan perfect you can see the tow drag swag right there on the sideline to be able to make that play Jolie was open last time on this one does he look that way NOP it's Zone and there it is again and peely says thank you so much Christmas time two is one is good but but two is better no another big time defensive player right there from Kaden able to get another interception Kanan peely peeling off interceptions left and right Nico back to pass gets absolutely walloped that was a personal hit from Shawn Brown that's probably one of the first times today I feel like we've seen like a little bit of pressure from well I credit to to Kaden he's actually gotten the ball out really quickly it's hard for pressure to get home when you're under two seconds to to your pass yeah the best way to beat the Blitz just to to get the ball out quickly second and 10 back to work it's Samson and Samson's got space look at the Shifty going crazy and we talked about abilities earlier Nick shifty is actually an ability within this game allows your player just to take off so much faster it's so much fun now Nico back to pass rolling right throwing late it is stays with the catch he'll get all the way well just about a first down down second and a yard and quickly back to line no surprise I think we're going to get the Samson tour here yep blocks up front Samson's got space Samson's got room and Samson's got six into the end zone 32 to7 we haven't even hit halftime Let's see we have another Pat is he actually going to kick it or is he going to fake it right here see what he ends up deciding right here looks like he is just going to take his extra point F didn't go well last time like I'll just kick this just just take your point at this point in the game I imagine the vs fans want to see this tonight right like they're really happy not no no none no no okay got it Wolfpack fans are like this is not real life this is fake meanwhile the burnt orange is like this is what we need to see tonight in Charlotte back to pass uh-oh rut r raggy Grayson McCall is calling up the defense a whole lot as that interception brought to you by the International Guard and the International Guard you not only serve your country but also the community call home with career and Leadership opportunities Healthcare and education benefits and the freedom to choose how you serve you're able to become the best you in the Air National Guard big thank you to the Air National Guard for sponsoring and they're getting plenty of work with that interception that's third one of the day a big thing about Kaden too he's not going to take his foot off the gas pedal we've seen this through throughout all of today he's going to try to get another seven before the end of this half back to pass oh Back In The End Zone oh my Lord we love a eal of another touchdown for the board orange that touchdown brought to you by California almonds eat your almonds own your Prime the Wolfpack fans are leaving in droves they're so mad at the truck right now they might not even go to the game anymore out of control I'm just seeing looks of disgust from everybody in red she's like what is this it's out of pocket meanwhile not a single Tennessee fan has left the area in an hour and a half this is [Music] Great Waters trying to find room up the middle take a time out sure well actually Nick it wasn't it wasn't Ethan taking time out it's not Ethan trying to get seven it's Kaden trying to get the ball like wait a second I might be able to return another [Music] punt kayen with another timeout right I going to say all you're going to have a chance for is the punt return to you're not getting any more offensive players there's only 8 seconds left in this half I spun my chair too much I almost fell off it's okay we're good Waters first down this is the most merciful halftime I may have ever seen remember he only scored 42 points in the last game yeah have 40 at halftime looks like he's actually trying to double it right here see if he can he's definitely going to break 50 the question is the real question is is he going to have break 60 yeah not 70 not 80 it is all Tennessee and this one as a reminder really cool thing that's inside of college football 25 nil deals inside of Dynasty mode and California Omens is actually in the game you can get that Omen deal inside of college football 25 big shout out to California almonds for being a part of what has been I think one of the most I will say two months in in football gaming uh this is was such a highly anticipated release it has lived up to the hype and every football fan whether you're a college football fan a pro football fan learning the college game excited to see college football 25 back in the sphere we are currently witnessing the peak of football video games I don't think I've ever seen hype around any football video game like I have like I have seen in college football at 25 all right just think it's z0 right now folks Mcall left side he's got him man it's Collins first down at the 40 yd line I will say that as these games has gone on Ethan has had a lot more success when it comes to passing the ball yeah why are all the Tennessee fans slowing down and watching this and all the NC State fans are like sprinting past us we don't want to see this bad bad mojo bad mojo uh-oh loss of 11 on the play you never want that he tried to go for a little bit of a reverse pass right there we call that the old razzled Dazzle try to make anything happen right there I don't think you want Kevin concepcio passing the ball though I think you want him on the other side of it call that the rled dozle it's Mall back to pass uh-oh that one should have been picked dangerous throw remember guys 10 stop tour we got kicking things off here from Charlotte but uh we're going to be in Orlando at the bounce house we're going to be Colorado Springs for air force uh and we got more announcements to come online ladder play starting up so you're not going to want to miss that you're going to want to get involved if you want to get out to one of these nice nice pass right there we got a Zone opportunity the crowd here at their neutral site game in the big house is as quiet as the actual big house crowds right now cuz they're getting worked by Texas and I am so so sad like 33 to6 last I looked and I I personally as an Ohio State fan am so sad to see it right there you saw the wheel route it looked like he actually potentially had him right there going back to the Run game right here able to pick up a strong six right here and Nick I wanted to talk about these future events that rally cry is putting on what do you think about going and seeing UCF against Colorado that is going that's going to be a great Travis Hunter sh Sanders heading on to take on Gus mazon's Knights that one almost picked off you know interesting maon remember if you if you remember C football fan Gus miles on at Auburn for a long time Cam Newton turned him into an absolute Beast now they got KJ Jefferson who is basically a Transformer and they can run that sort of same offense going be really fun to watch the fake field goal he's got to throw the ball throw it Vincent please he hit him with the fat finger and accidentally double tapped it right there not able to get the pass off right there oh that one is brutal he had a walking touchdown right there too this game for oh no oh Samson please can we get uh Daniel powder's Bad Day playing right now cuz it's feeling like it for all the wolf pack fans the burn orange fans are having a blast right now game two game one went the way Kaden and Tennessee and I don't want to count the chips at the table okay because you know Kenny Rogers taught me not to but I feel like this one might be over it might be it'll take a lot for this game if there's a comeback in this one is the greatest comeback in the history of all virtual football forever I mean Sho for me watching the college game I have seen the University of Miami have the game won and then decided they sh out to Mario Cris ball could take a knee runs the ball oops fumble cut scene you lost I don't think that we will ever see something like that again no that impressive but maybe maybe in this game we'll see some type of crazy comeback maybe the controller will get stuck and he'll just keep pting the ball I can't stop kicking 47 we're heading into the fourth quarter 5 minutes left here from the big house for Tennessee and NC State fourth quarter action of course it's brought to you our fourth quarter finish by he dude heude shoes are lightweight comfortable stylish and affordable shoes that are made for both men and women find your perfect pair of heude shoes today and a big thank you to he dude for sponsoring this tour going to be a lot of fun man Samson is a good good back and I don't know about you Nick but I actually got my Clemson hey dude shoes they are clean they are some of the coolest shoes that I have just seen in general that collegate series is really cool if you're a fan look them up grab yourself a pair to represent your [Music] team I was going through some of the options some of the cool ones I thought I saw in there I I I actually really like the Florida G ones I thought the Florida G ones I saw super super cool shoes careful the there's a lot of Tennessee fans here you bring up Florida they get really mad although probably not right now over under is set on seven and a half games before Billy Napier's out of a job anyone take another under I am 40 to7 second and 13 handoff Samson I mean just nothing but green grass 13 yards another first down looks like at this point too we have The Chew clock feature on on yeah looks like that so looks like that Kaden is uh realizing himself that to pick up the dub MH what's going be really fun is we're going to have these qualifiers each and every week for these tournaments and you're going to see some of the best college players around competing live in person on the truck at our stops next one coming up in uh in Orlando at UCF um and a really great opportunity even if you don't qualify as there goes Samson yeah spinning winning and just dancing on him 46-7 uh if even if you don't qualify I think coming out to one of these events checking out the truck uh the free play has been going crazy all day it's been really fun to see the fans out here super cool and one of the things about this event too is we do actually still have our show match or our celebrity match later on you look forward to yeah that that little spin move that'll give us our Saucy play today presented by Wendy's Wendy's bringing the sauce to game day with their new Saucy nugs the nugs you love just got even better now 217 to go go can we get D can I hear double digits right there over the middle one thing that I've noticed a lot from Kaden this game is the usering of James Pierce he really likes to user James Pierce and try to make Havoc happen all by himself by usering that player [Music] Mcall back to pass over the oh no oh it's Christmas in September Thomas with the pick that pick brought to you by the Air National Guard in the air National guarder not only serve your country but also the community you call home with career and Leadership opportunities Healthcare and education benefits and the freedom to choose how you serve you're able to become the best you in the Air National Guard we're brought the Air National Guard supporting this we might get the ground National Guard at this point the way they've been running the ball with Samson and if Samson does get three yards on this run he is actually over 200 yards with three touchdowns is right there what you say three touchdowns four touchdowns now four touchdowns gotcha spoke a little bit too soon right there Nick but 200 yards on the ground for Samson a dominant player on the virtual grid iron K is up it's good you know I haven't had lunch yet but I could go for a 50 burger and I think we got one 54 to 7 I was going to say 50 Wings Nick I think those those Saucy nugs yeah can I get 54 Saucy nugs stat honey barbecue of course though okay settle down spicy garlic Farm it's all settle down on your honey barbecue minute 15 to go I will say credit to the uh Charlotte weather Cloud came through and uh the Sun burn slowed down for a second oh there's Mo Boma you like Mo Boma if you play college football 25 you you're going to hear it you might have heard of Mo Boma you're going to hear two things you're going to hear Mo bomba and you're going to hear a drum line picking up two second and eight crowd starting filing we're still like what 4 hours from game time too I know the crowd's been constantly that's what's really cool to see Charlotte and all these fans from Tennessee and NC State coming through uh excited to watch their teams play tonight from Bank of America Stadium yeah great event that's being ran out here obviously the Dukes Mayo classic FanFest out here rally cry out here hosting the Collegiate College Series super cool thing to be able to have over the middle maybe okay let me let me spin this for NY State fans okay I'm going this is my my my sunshine my glass half full maybe Grayson McCall getting all the interceptions out in the virtual game so he throws none tonight in Bank of America Stadium I did it I do think we are going to win this quarterback duel tonight I think that these two quarterbacks are going to have two big numbers in terms of tonight's game out of Bounds at the 4 does Kaden try to score he's going to say he isn't coming out quarterback NE he isn't coming out on quarterback Neil so there's a chance we've seen what Dylan Samson's been able to do for him you guys can see oh my gosh wait no hold on I got shift pull the internet plug again then it doesn't count does look like he has shuon so assuming nothing crazy happens could we see a 43 yard touch we'll find out in a second there we go last play of the game Nick Samson dude Samson is actually unbel if you want to try a team out try out Tennessee that Tennessee Playbook also F the wide Veer don't I thought he was kicking the field goal I thought he was coming out of field goal kick I was like not like this I was going to say I actually want him to take a timeout at 1 second and try to kick a field goal I I want to see if he can make a field goal the 60 y can you make a 60 yard field goal I guess what is it we at the 35 yeah so what 52 yard give or take from there it doesn't matter it's n and GG's we have a winner it was all Tennessee in these two games all Caleb all burnt orange the burnt orange pants get up for your man he perform only gave up seven yards on Def defense couple kick returns P returns really dominant today dominant in both games I mean I think that's as dominating as of a performance I have seen in any football video game in a while and I think we have him standing by with the man who we cannot confirm whether he pulled the internet in the first game but I think shift is standing by with a special presentation kayen seems like it was pretty light work today congratulations on the first ever rally cry Championship tour winner here's a plaque for you give me your final reactions just over how you play today well I think I played as expected wasn't expecting to run the ball as much as I was expecting to expecting a little bit of pass especially considering North Carolina State's defense but VI fix what ain't broken and just keep running the ball down their throats so you came in with like a set game plan of like I know Tennessee is good here I know NC State's weak here is that something you see you know every time you play you're looking at that Playbook differential Yes actually I spent like the whole past week looking at each team's Playbook both offense and defense just to see what I can exploit on his side just to try and run up the score as much as I could well uh you did that so there's that much any thoughts you want to give to all the vows fans here before we start to head into Bank of America well obviously we won today uh hopefully we'll do that again later today probably a lot better than I did I think we could play a lot better than we we did we show a lot of things so I have to fix myself on defensive side of the ball and pass defense um hopefully I expect us to blow them out hopefully come out with a good win um if not then at least we have this game to look on yeah go vs kayen again congratulations first ever championship to our winner from rally cry we're going to head off to a break and we've got way more content still to come again if you're in the stands out here and you want to get a chance to come up and play we've got a free play line that you can stack up and get your chance to maybe even replicate what just happened here we'll be right back after this in the Air National Guard you not only serve your country but the community you call home with career and Leadership opportunities Healthcare and education benefits and the freedom to choose how you serve you're able to become the best you in the area National Guard hey dude shoes are lightweight

interesting to see what ends up happening in tonight's game it's going to be a lot of fun now again 10 stop tour here with rally cry we've got some amazing sponsors out here one of those sponsors the Air National Guard couldn't do it without our amazing Partners uh the Air National Guard we got to sit down with an air National Guardsman uh earlier and talk about his experiences and what it's like to be a part of the Air National Guard take a listen I'm Tech Sergeant Brandon Jones I'm originally from nates Mississippi and I have been in the service 15 years I'm a crew chief in the Air Force I've been doing that my whole career I basically travel and I work on aircrafts I initially joined the military was because of the reason of 911 I saw that live in high school and uh I didn't really realize what was going on until later on in life the best the best part of my career has been to travel um I've have been to at least 13 different countries and almost all of the states throughout my whole career what motivates me the most is my family um I have of course a wife that's in a guard as well and I also have two daughters the Air National Guard has helped me personally mainly with probably my perspective the military is a milon pot uh you never know who you talk to you never know who's good at one thing and who's good at the other until you really sit down and have a conversation with them I'm here with Tech Sergeant Brandon Jones heck of an interview we got the chance to hear about what your background was talk to me more though about your anticipation for college football I mean The Season's underway here how you feeling about it all well it's been roughly 13 years since being able to play the game I play Dynasty mode haven't built a character yet but I I enjoy it now you're are you going into the game today yes who do you like do everyone everyone wants to know you got tendency or NC State let's go balls okay that may have been slightly influenced by what we saw on screen uh but I mean tell me about like what you do obviously we heard a little bit more about that but free time wise do you get a chance to kind of enjoy college football on a more regular basis yes um I'm lucky stay here in Charlotte we got have Charlotte we have HBCU um and I also went to ANC State I mean aent here in North Carolina so I enjoy it now if we were to One V one how much are you beating me down by like how often do you play I'm all right yeah yeah he's all right okay yeah last time I've heard that I'm not letting that happen again but thank you so much for your service Mr Brandon Jones of course well hopefully you enjoy the game you wanted to go V so appreciate your time and hopefully we'll catch back with you soon all right yes sirk all right you got it so we got more still coming on the way here for the rally cry Championship tour again much love brand Jones the rest that serve our country for now we go back over towards the desks get us going for the next bit thank you so much shift Nesco drop back with you show match time all right this is all bragging rights nothing special just pure bragging rights uh well we're throwing our man shift in there uh I think it's a sort of a like an initiation thing he's got to fight through cuz he's taking on DJ Ace there has been some major trash talk from DJ saying he can beat anybody out here and so we went take our fresh meat and shift uh shift is is fighting for us okay I need shift to put on a good show for the broadcast team shift is just representing the broadcast team right now DJ a though has been talking an insane amount of trash throughout all of this though so it be interesting to see if he can back it up cuz the big thing is that people can talk all they want you know you see it all the time the pregame stuff what's going to get said but when you're actually on that grid iron what's going to happen and what is he going to be able to do by the way you're starting to see behind us the crowd starting to file in we're still it's 3:00 so you're still 4 and a half hours from kickoff and this whole area down here the FanFest for the duk's Mayo classic has been bustling since about noon that's really cool to see the city of Charlotte really take to this event um NC State and Tennessee very close to Charlotte and we've seen I'm not going to lie it's been pretty overwhelmingly burnt orange around here I was going to say I feel like for every like eight Tennessee fans we see it's probably two NC State fans and I I could honestly say it's 9 to12 Tennessee is just dominating the amount of people and the fans that are out here it's going to be a fun game tonight it's going to be a fun game here now uh I got to watch shift a little bit yesterday I'm going to give you a little Scouting Report okay if DJ Ace is as good as he says he is MH you might have to go take over might be a long maybe maybe we could have like a broadcast team like team like get together right like just tag Us in if you need help tag Us in right like he he takes over the first quarter you're in there for the second quarter I'm out there for the third quarter so if I go in there though we start losing more and then you come in you're like the anchor you're Michael Phelps at the end of it I'll I'll come back in on the fourth quarter try to make up whatever you guys have messed up I won't give up any point returns I can tell you that we're getting ready for that match up here on the main stage by the way if you're here if you're out here in Charlotte come on up we got some free PlayStations opportunity to play a little college football I I will say this if there's one word I would use to describe college football 25 fun is the word I'm having an absolute I'm in like year eight of a dyos and I'm still having fun with it I would just say it's electric every single time you touch the ball you feel like you can be gone college football has that like old school type of Madden vibe to it where it just plays so much faster and it is just as you said so much fun to be able to play it clouds kind of rolling in taking some of that sting of the heat off it's been a beautiful day though here from Charlotte North Carolina reminder we got 10 of these dates coming up next couple ones you got to qualify go play those ladders you're competitive Madden players so you know a lot about ladders so for people who maybe haven't played ladders before tell them what the strategy is what it's like to to get through I mean they're going to have what 5 days to to play ladders a lot of time yeah ladders is it can be one of the most fun experiences you have could also be one of the worst experiences you have the big thing I can give you with advice in ladders is just always understand that you might lose a game or two right nobody is ever going to win every single game that they play make sure that you're always just mentally good mentally fresh for that next game and you're not mad at the video game cuz things are going to happen maybe something doesn't go your way make sure that you're always feeling good into every game ladder game you go and the nice part is because ladders are so much about playing as many games as you can that's where unlik a single elimination tournament where you're you lose you're out here you lose a game play a couple more get it in and I think the biggest thing because it's on college football 25 like you're having fun playing it yeah that's a big thing and that's the big thing that video game should be it's about just having fun when you're playing it ready that are we ready we got him ready to go we're close all right well we got uh our man shift I don't know if this is okay if it's legal to interview your opponent we're going to see some mind games but uh shift what you got going on over there yeah thanks guys I'm here with DJ Ace local DJ for the radio network here in Charlotte I just told you that I'm also from Charlotte so we have a little camaraderie but we're going to play here in a minute tell me more about who you are first and foremost for you tell me about how much you're going to beat me down so yeah man uh like I say I do uh afternoons here on 1025 the block uh Monday through Friday through to 7 yeah we are here today to have good fun and and good lives but right now we're not friends because I have to let you know that I run this when it comes to college football so man let's get into it all right that's fine are you playing NC State you playing Tennessee I think I'm going to go with uh NC State I was to say I mean you're local boy here you you got to pull a little bit for the pack and maybe Inspire the crowd a little bit after that last beat down we just saw uh can you go just a little bit easy on me though I'm telling you nah I have to Ramon for the pack 54 to7 is just atrocious so I'm going try my best to at least get a 21 skunk real quick so we so you know make this thing happen now some people would say I'm sandbagging but I promise you I'm not we're going to give it our guest so we're going to send it back to the casters we're going to square up see how things go here for a second little match for NC State and Tennessee in EA college sports 25 oh no the broadcast team tag Us in man if you get down tag Us in we need broadcast team to be represented well um now I'm I'm not going to spread rumors mhm but I have heard that if Shi starts losing he's going to pull the internet again that's the goal that's what I'd do like I was going to say it's old school you played N64 you start losing in Gold KN just walk up turn it off sorry man you didn't win getting a look at DJ Ace right here too he looks so he looks excited here all I'm saying if we are playing true listen I know we got NC State see here MH but we're playing true DJ Ace needs to play with Florida State and play with dju I need I need dju and DJ Ace on a team plus it gives us a better chance so it does shift looking handsome ready to go locking in I will be taunting from all the way over here can confirm don't give anything up I might have to send dftt over there like if it starts getting bad like just take out the headset like go over there give some advice I'll just let you handle the boo you can handle you can handle the color commentary the playby playay commentary I'll go ahead and pop out there and make sure that the broadcast team has a good look now if if one thing helps us for shift he's taking over Tennessee he's got Nico that helps we've saw dominance they've been on a roll two and0 so far today I don't like seeing DJ so so jubilant early that scares me that means confidence it looks very relaxed up there you know somebody playing up in front of a crowd a little bit nervous he does not look nervous he looks ready to go oh he gets the home game though shift smart playing at neand as Grimes will return this one out of the end zone all the way up to the 16 yd line and we will see Grayson McCall in the NC State wolf pack and DJ Ace on offense first there you guys can see on the top right right there the stadium poll feat this game is actually being played in Tennessee so you expect a lot of miscommunications misplay calls from the NC good play Shift come on defense baby let's go I'm sorry I mean a big play that's a nice defensive play for two yards second and eight band going crazy also can I just point oh a little slip screen yeah shift for the broadcast board let's go I mean he calls the slip screen and throws the Deep cross that's bold move I was going to say I didn't anticipate I saw the screen and I was ready to call out Samson or the running back's name and he ended up actually trying to find a different play that's an Air National Guard interception of I've ever seen one Grace Mcall throws the pck Wolfpack fans are going to start getting mad though cuz they have not had good showings out here Tennessee fans are happy the Wolfpack fans keep walking by I'm so sorry first and 10 it's Samson left side he'll pick up a [Applause] couple just looking at this too it looks like shift wants to go to the Run game you can actually see him picking plays by concept right here and he only is choosing any Play From The Run concept well see if that continues second down and eight back to the ground goes Sam trying to get outside gets a good block Cuts back inside makes a man miss and he'll pick up five right here it looks like is he going to end up going to something else he's going to go back to Concepts looks like he is looking for any type of just Quick Pass right here he's going to empty it out Nico iamal Ava quarterback the youngster out of California back to pass fourman rush quick throw underneath makes the catch first and goal and DJ Ace he can't believe it you can see his reaction right there he is saying what how was that a catch right there but big time play he did have a little bit of the inside leverage right there able to throw it on his body and able to make that catch I wonder if we're going get Samson here just I'm just I'm just wondering oh hot route action oh he knows what he's doing IM alava hitch route on that stick concept good hit though R it free second and goal right there you can see he was able to get a much better hit right there forcing that ball out second and goal from the seven for shift in the balls free play stations I see the kids lined up ready to play Samson breaks a tackle picks up four easy hit stick in terms of being able to make a play if he goes to the air here with Nico maybe looks for the scramble we know the speed that Nico brings third down from the three now he might be looking for Matthews right there count for Matthews underneath Nico in trouble gets rid of it as the pressure gets [Applause] there and I don't know about you Nick but I can see these two kids in the background right now at the Free Play Station that we have set up right there and they are getting animated right there you guys you guys can see how hype they are we don't have switchers over here what do you want me to run Red Zone Scott [Applause] Hansen I'm getting taunted by children help it's like high school all over again three nothing shift on top all right so if I'm going to get a some advice here if you call the slip screen throw to the slip screen I agree don't try to throw somebody else right there you're going to get an inaccurate make sure you do find the slip screen remember when that was a thing though in Madden you used to call the slip screen roll out hit the streak down the field Madden 16 16 was crazy 16 was the year that was a thing oh oh oh oh oh Grayson McCall takeing the shot one onone and Mccoy's going to make a nice defensive play second and 10 look like they're for a half second it looked like Ace might have had the perfect throw right there but was able to have a last minute break [Applause] up aall throws it to the flat there goes Jordan Waters he's got room he's got a first down he truck Cas for the Friendly Ghost and he gets 15 out of the air this looks like a good game that we have right now both opponents actually making some pretty good reads they're playing both pretty balanced right here be interesting to see how this game comes down to the wire Mall back to work under a minute to go first quarter four wide set Mall back to pass pressure oh conceptional can't make the play but who was that coming off the edge it's the big bdy for the burn orange and that's what I was about to say there too James Pierce coming off the edge and able to make a big time disruption to that throw just let you know Connecticut 6314 over marac right now you're welcome where my Yukon fans in chat double cover Bridge nowhere to go third and 10 and right there goes to the four verticals tries to find that little underneath rout right there so almost like a little stop and go over the middle of the field wasn't able to find it third and 10 Grayson McCall in trouble picked off on the line who likes a big man touchdown Bailey house call that interception brought to you by the International Guard that touchdown brought to you by California almond that score that one's all for shift and right there the big man gets the ball in his hands and actually is able to find the end zone with it and right there we get a B right here the shovel he's got two he's stun on [Applause] them no no need no need to shush the crowd they're basically all burnt orange shift you're supposed to pump up your crowd you're not structuring your own people look at how much burn orange there is out there I was going to say I'm looking at the crowd right now Nick I see two hold on one I see two I got I got like four over there four red shirts over there I see one more over there and then I think it's probably like 70 to 100 people all in Orange by the way can I just say for the burnt orange fans out there nean Stadium got robbed why was it the 12th puff place to play somebody's got to fix that underneath Grayson McCall picking up a first down right there DJ ASA trying to get back on track you saw his stats right there two interceptions and only 31 yds passing he's got to try to get something going on this drive 11 nothing your score look like your average Chicago white sock game and a one I'll be honest I thought Noah was here I was going to say these two little kids out here are they are passionate they very excited this is the that score better be like 50 to 50 the way y'all are yelling 147 l a defense Mcall back to pass taking the shot he's got him it's Rogers down the field steps Out of Bounds at the 36 yd line another first down at the first time into opposing territory goes DJ Ace DJ a with a great read right there I was actually looking at the zig route right there I thought he was going to hit the zig route ends up holding on to the ball and finds the Dig route deep down the field [Applause] 11 nothing Mall in the [Applause] shotgun Pierce gets there and peely gets the pick and pey's going the other way he's got thoughts of a touchdown in his mind a great tackle that interception brought to you by the Air National Guard with career and Leadership opportunities Healthcare and education benefits and the freedom to choose how you serve you're able to become the Fest you in the Air National Guard GJ a cannot believe what he's seeing to you can just hear him saying how over and over again to himself there was a lot of of trash talked uh unfortunately we've seen some trash game play definitely uh the the trash Haw isn't being backed up right now Nick all right good news for all you Michigan fans out there Michigan did score a touchdown bad news with a minute 52 to go is 31 to2 oh no think it's going to be well onside kick score touchdown onside kick score touchdown onside kick score you need it's that easy that's all you need it's that easy when you say it like that it sounds like a pretty easy comeback I mean I I figured out football we're on four topl first half shift and DJ shift representing the broadcast Booth really well right now I was going to say I thought I was going to need to be called out there myself no I think you're okay right now that wide verer look at that wide double stack all the way to the sidelines and it's all go and he trusts the throw it's McCoy to the 10 shiff looking great right now he's been able to throw the ball reasonably well he's has a great run game too it's going to be up to DJs to try to find a way to get a stop here [Applause] in the shotgun Samson on his left hip Blitz brought throw back in the end zone two feet down yes indeed touchdown Falls and you can see right there DJ saying this is if I was a lip reader he is saying this is crazy right now you guys can see the Tennessee with the masar right there and you guys can see Nick running to the screen shaking his hand shaking shift's hand looks like that the broadcast team is going to stay undefeated right here what' you say Nick I you know I just wanted to let him know how much I appreciated him not embarrassing the broadcast team also pulled a hammy so you know looks like that wear and tear feature is in real life too I I got wear and tear running four feet over to his his station so you know D the breaks 18 [Applause] nothing I'm begging I'm begging just one one close game please Mo playing though Mo might be the turning point in this game this is the this is what fires up DJ come on DJs represent check that's the wrong way that's what you that's what you call calling the wrong play right there was zero chance he thought he was calling a different play right there he thought that was probably an RPO or [Applause] something 18 nothing M calling the shotgun it's what happens when you taunt you turn into a vs fan Mall two backs and a tight end and he's throwing it I mean that was a heck of a read did make the catch but it's a heck of a read he able to at least hit the receiver's hand right there I I thought looking at that I thought for sure that might be a house call the other way but it will actually place it in the perfect spot just wasn't able to make the catch third and 24 from the 5 yd line Grayson McCall steps up he's got some room he's got some Wheels he's he's going to pick up a lot of that back 21 yards on the ground fourth and three he she can't P this ball so all you can do right there is you just got you got to make it into a fourth and manageable you got to just try to pick up as many many yards as you can on third down and fourth and three this is a pretty easy down to pick up now it's humbling Mcall got him Kevin concepion first down and the famous words of Michael Scott staying alive right there trying to keep this game going Ace back to work pressure picked up nicely he's got him man he's got face KC's in open space to the 2520 15 10 5 dingdong house call and right there I mean a lot of the games that we were seeing earlier it was 280 they were trying to come back from that but 180 we might see a little bit of a comeback right now from DJ a that touchdown brought to you by California almonds eat your almonds own your Prime what a touchdown from DJ Ace to cut it to a two-score game by the way you get you get concep in open space Oh my gosh you missed it Nick did he just Nick he didn't Nick he didn't even have right there the play before Nick I would say was the sauciest play of the day but that play right there that was probably that was probably the unsu play of no SAU on that there like if there was be unhappy with that if there was an UNS sauciest play of the day we didn't even he didn't even hit the first row by the way he he didn't even hit get through the end zone he didn't even get it through the in the we got to talk to shift who he was spinning right there what you saw Casper the Friendly Ghost you break his ankles all [Music] right back to work go shift on offense minute eight plenty of time goes to that oh my God what was that the five wide quads Bunch quads I've played a lot of college football Nick I do not actually know the term for believe punch oh he threw a pick waai in middle of the field oh shift and Jess not like this did you did you go high that was an ugly Betty as Waters running the wild cat Jet Sweep he has a block Raphael my favorite Ninja Turtle to the 10 to the six and just like that this game looked over it looked like shift had this game in the bag up 18-0 and DJs wasn't really doing a ton but just like that DJ Ace gets the seven gets the interception right after that and he's right back into this game this game was looking over but much like a store on Black Friday he's selling everything 18 to six first and goal goal line formation from the six it's Waters Waters picking up three here right here DJ DJ is actually getting back to the line quickly liked what he saw right there calling the turbo goes right back to wat back to it in the words of Herman Boon it's like Nova Kane over and over it'll work touchdown Ace The Falls have quiet it down shift is embarrassing the entire state of Tennessee right now that touchdown brought you by California almond it was not brought to you by shift right there DJ a little bit of redemption right there able to hit the the field goal or the pat right there able to make it a 13 to 18 game got got it through the end zone and the uprights that's impressive after what I saw the first time I didn't know if that was possible all right well it was 18 nothing and then uh sales Merchant over here giving up 13 Sun just starting to peek through here from beautiful Charlotte North [Music] Carolina let's see what shift can do offensively Nico ice cold with the momentum can take a shot does he have space he does stay has space stays is running 20 15 stop and go oh set him flying and if the out of bounds was just two yards wider that is a touchdown right there hits him with the back Chuke then breaks the tackle but sadly just doesn't have enough real estate on the sideline to be able to get out there he was unhappy through that pick and had St on him a little bit first and 10 just outside the 10 yd line Nico stepping rolling throwing L back pylon oh almost came up with a score what a throw right there from Nico it looked like actually it looked like we we see a replay right here in the top right almost had it right there perfectly placed ball at the back pilog does have three timeouts can run the ball [Applause] to that WID split play action pass oh he almost had him he almost threw a pick and then he almost had a touchdown so it's about right that we had an incompletion that was one of those moments where you as a coach go no no no and then as yes yes yes and then back to no no no almost know as the Steph Curry wave why are you shooting okay no yeah all right here we here we go malava in the gun three-man Rush steps left runs left does he have the speed does he have the power down to the one fourth and short I really hope shift doesn't kick field goals here we go for these right we go for these fourth and short he's coming out in goal line right here to decision time I love the aggressiveness I love the decision to go for it run game is really good in college football 25 this could decide the game right here Nick three tight ends fullback dive he's stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey and that might be What DJ Ace needed to get back into this game that might be the sauciest play that might be the sauciest play right there DJ is coming out in the goal line right there able to blow it up right there shift just wasn't able to get that push from the offensive line to score and Nick we're seeing Wildcat at the one yd line going Jet Sweep I don't know how he's passing the ball it's a [Applause] safety and right now it's just me up on the broadcast you guys can't see it but Nick is asking to DJ is what was that decision from him right there that's a big reason why you go for it right there too actually you know you're able to even though you don't get the three points right there you're back up at the one yd line you're hoping that maybe you can get a safety and at least be able to salvage two points in that situation sponsored by anyone we can we get a safety sponsorship all right 3 seconds left 20 to 13 your score in an eventful first half between shift and DJs going empty Bunch quads Nico how Strong's your arm throw it up and it's picked last play ISJ is going to be able D there okay oh wait okay all right all right that interception brought to you by the International Guard [Applause] [Music] halftime seven-point game I I was begging for a close game we got one it's great game so far right here DJ the only thing about DJ is since you are kicking the ball off to start the second half you would love to be able to get that ball out of half to try to tie it up right here but his defense has looked good as the game has gone on his defense has looked a lot better [Applause] I'm sorry moal is not playing so it doesn't count 20 to 13 brazelle in motion from right to left NCO the shotgun Samson is right we haven't heard a lot from Samson and rightfully so he loses to W what a play right there from DJ's on Brandon Cleveland the defensive tackle out of Florida it was just to blow it up all by himself and make a huge play on first down God Michigan lost oh no sorry anyways Nico back in the shotgun three wide set looks over the middle that little slant route nice catch in front of the defender third and short for brew McCoy yeah right there one of the things I was actually looking at is a squirrel white was actually on a little SE route is what it's called from the slot and that's actually typically not a thing you can get from the slot right there right there you see the Run game right there Samson able to pick up the first down as think said we haven't seen a ton of Samson this game Samson is probably one of the best players in college football on this Tennessee offense so little bit surprised we haven't seen a little bit more from [Applause] him little draw play Samson trying to find oh my okay all right all right he hit the right stick out 344 times and picked up three I like the first day you get college football 20 five and you're just trying to find the best juke move right there and you're just spamming it every single which way to figure out which one is the best o RPO and he made the read it's Brew McCoy 15 10 five Endzone shift with a perfect read on the RPO right there a ble to find his player what a great play right there from chift and touchdown brought to you by California almond thank you to California almonds respons with the tour eat your almonds own your Prime I was going to say Nick I've been looking at these almonds for the past like 10 minutes or so I think I'm going to take a little snack break after that one with these almonds 2613 but those rpos especially with like the little option routes the streaks on the out side they're they're tough to read and shift making an absolute perfect read Brew McCoy clean release and just like that two scor game what sort of answer does DJ Ace have thank you for the replay of the knel down that was cool two the Back Field two- score game Grayson McCall back to pass over the middle he's got KC for a first down great read right there I was going to say this has been a great passing game that we've seen so far both players have had a lot of good Conta right there we see a little bit of a slant concept right there and he's able to make the correct [Applause] read o in trouble at dline for the University of Tennessee pretty tough yeah right there you're seeing actually somebody outside of James Pierce I feel like so much of what we've called today is James Pierce making so many plays but somebody else right there able to step up and get some pressure [Applause] little split back field with a tight end play action for Mall running those crossers waiting looking throws it underneath rafhael makes the catch and Rafael is fighting for a first down they will give him the first down yeah looked like it was dead to right right there you saw in the replay two people right there but rafhael able to break that play Break those two tackles and able to get the first down [Applause] nowhere to go for a call Pockets closing in around him there was James Pierce as we'll probably see tonight in tonight's game too just in the backfield able to make a play right there get the uh pocket disruption to happen shf reporting Jordan love injured his MCL says it's not doesn't look like it's season ending as there goes KC and KC wants a TD touchdown DJ Ace here's the question Nick for you you're down nine right now do you go for two now or do you wait too early too early I was going to say the way that this guy's been kicking you might want to go for two hey you got it for good that touchdown brought you by California almonds eat your almonds own your Prime I almost just fell out of my chair on stage that would been good that would have been good for you [Applause] too as right now I at the Duke Mayo classic got Mayo guy I am looking at the Mayo guy currently walk right by us let's go Mayo we're not mustard people around here we love Mayo Nico over the middle white with a first down I want to know what the temperature inside that Mayo jar is it is not I better have some fans rolling o oh the read option and Nico spinning and winning good Lord we watch some great offense this game Run game pass game it's all working for him freshman Phenom doesn't seem to be enough of a compliment for Nico IAM malava that could take us to the fourth quarter let's see uh See if shiff just puts his fours up and hits the fourth quarter if he's going to run one more play he will run one more play play action pass ni over the middle Crosser is open it's white it's a first down put your Four's up in the chat we're hitting the fourth quarter one score game shift with the lead over DJ's 26- 20 with just one period left in the books one thing if you're shift you got to watch out for these hit sticks fumbles are definitely a very common thing within this game you can see that DJ Ace is landing a lot of hit sticks within this game M goes to the ground game it's Samson it's Samson picking up the first down don't forget our fourth quarter it's brought to you by heude he dud choose it lightweight comfortable stylish and affordable shoes that are made for both men and women find your perfect pair of heude shoes today Cuts back with Samson nowhere to go second and goal free play station's going crazy here from Charlotte that's what we like to see even when you're not the main game little bit of emotion I was going to say fire anybody that's in the Charlotte area you guys should see the emotion from the other games that's going on right [Applause] now finally starting to see a little bit of the Raley crowd coming in it's going to say as the the day gone on I've seen I've started to see a little bit more red yeah Nico rolls out of the pocket uh-oh late throw uhoh late throw it's picked off by kie what is shiff doing he might be called shift but he should have control all deleted that throw right here on first down two you actually this is how the safety happened I really don't know how I feel about you going back to Wild Cat the play that you didn't have a ton of success within earlier does he throw the ball though nope he's going to go touch past inside cut Raphael first down and more the 29 yd line look like there for a half second that Raphael could be gone right there after he broke that tackle but just wasn't able to keep his momentum going forward oh he's going to stick with his Wildcat give it to Raphael again and Raphael to the 40 Juke moved to the 45 near [Applause] Midfield it's time for a heude fourth quarter finish by the way get yourself a pair of those he dudes comfortable lightweight I am loving them the designs on them are insane too it really feels like you're wearing your school on your shoe on your feet super cool shoes to be able to get over the middle picked off py the other way shift with the clutch turnover user pick click on and make a play that be interesting now shift basically in what I would consider like the 4minute drill right now basically just can he kill this game off to make this the last Drive of the game where DJ is never even going to see the ball back we Nico hands it to Samson left side first down you know what my favorite dessert is it's milk and cookies cuz we're milking the clock right now V go are tough in college football though I mean he really wants to get as close as possible right here obviously the most ideal situation is you just chew clock with no time left but if you have to kick like I would say like a 45 or longer field goal it's very very difficult to do in this game oh nice juke move for Samson [Applause] we're under two to play second of two still timeouts left for DJ he needs to find a stop though yeah looking not to take his time out on first down right there I personally would have instantly taken my time out but maybe he's he sees something as right there n with the hitstick fumble and it is picked up by Tennessee though I think he was down too I look at that replay I don't think he was this might get reviewed we might get a booth review right here I mean Tennessee's fine with it they not only recovered at the gain a little bit and it's oh my God he's not even thinking about just running the clock he's got an open slant route it's Matthews Endzone touchdown Falls wave goodbye to the wolf pack DJ has talked a lot of trash coming in unfortunately shift was up to the challenge he Ace cannot believe what's happened this game he thought he thought seeing T Talent seeing some broadcast crew he thought he was just going to walk him but he's going for two trying to make it a 14-point game gives it to Samson nowhere to go though it'll stay [Applause] 12 got the big jar of Duke's Mayo out here got a whole lot of people Knoxville around here V shown out in full for to Charlotte [Music] tonight if you're a DJ Ace right here you need something quick the way I look at it is if you score with before 30 seconds you have a chance what about losing a yard on your first play losing a yard and then also not getting out of bounds and then deciding to run 10 seconds off the clock that's not that's not what you want your first play of this drive to be it Mcall back to pass over the middle he's got KC KC will pick a couple clock is running third and four Mo boma's playing comebacks on sh West Power oh oh uhoh it actually just appears to have powered the D line it it James Pierce James Pierce just decided second your qu back now James Pierce just decided that the ball did not want to be thrown for that play taking the shot to an orange back there swap that one away turnover it's time for knes and GG's shift rep from the broadcast table beautifully and didn't even need any coaching from drro didn't need any Co he play a great guy he's still trying to score all right that's that's that's poor sportsmanship we don't endorse that over here we do not condone the poor sportsmanship shown by Shi don't point at me don't point at who are you security security over here we need to remove shift we need to control alt delete shift [Applause] it's a crazy lack of sportsmanship Daniel mcraft would never never never you take knees but because when we do it that's when like we throw a pick and it's a pick six and then there's not but did you see that car Q game I did that's what happens that's what happen score the touchdown with 16 seconds left cut scene Lo over time 23 seconds left all shift here in the second half Mall taking a shot Mall throwing a pick it's McCoy the other way there goes McCoy it's another interception brought to by the International Guard in the International Guard you not only serve your country but also the community you call home with career and Leadership opportunities health care and education benefits and the freedom to choose how you serve you're able to become the best you in the International Guard shift is coming out not in Neil okay looks like he's going to run the ball right here he's going to get tackled right here and I think that's going to be the end of this game a shift does anything call this one a burrito cuz this one's a wrap zeros are on the clock mercifully our man shift representing the balls coming up with a dub and not embarrassing the broadcast team we call that call that all positive call by the way the ball's 3 and0 today here on the truck the balls are looking dominant today it's going to be interesting to see if it looks like that later on I know the wolf pack fans out here are like please can we get one one NC State just one just one but it's been all fall so far

Stephen love how you doing brother 11 years but don't short me a year but hey it's great to be back I'm doing great thank you for having me what do you think about this whole setup we've been having games up here all day long and now you just kind of stepped in and said whoa this is sick unbelievable setup beautiful setup I see the Tennessee fans here it's unfortunate but I see my red and white outside so it's it's great to be here uh but great atmosphere for the ACC and the SEC to get together on a great night what are you thinking about tonight what are the chances here for the pack I think we have a great chance obviously I think NC State's coming off a great season last year tough win last week but obviously Tennessee is here to play ball so we have to BR bring our a game and uh it's going to be four quarters of Hardcore football well we're to give a little bit of a taste cuz we're going to put you on the station here uh your opponent is a jarv mayonnaise you're going to be playing tubby the mascot for Duke's Mayonnaise uh I will say it would be a little embarrassing if you lost to a jar mayonnaise what are you going to do to make sure that doesn't happen it would be pretty bad uh being that uh I just met this guy but uh hoping forward looking forward to beating him and uh NC State winning tonight as well I love it let's get you loaded in as the pack have some fun we'll set it back over to the desk get you going all right man absolutely pleasure thank you I don't know about you I'm excited I cannot wait for this I'm excited I don't know if we've ever had a condiment play game of college football I've watched a lot of Madden and now college football in my lifetime I don't think I've ever seen a nonperson play a game before it's gonna be fun uh Nick mesco Dr crop back with you we got uh Steven Tok longtime Detroit line NC State wolf pack alumni taking on uh tubby not sure what school tubby went to uh the school School the I mean School of Hard Knocks truly um but he was named a four-time MVP of deli sandwiches across the country MH uh he well I I know where he went Duke MH so what do you think about his biggest rival in mustard uh listen mustard has never really had the stick skills to be a part of this um and we know that that uh tubby and and and Dukes may have really carried sandwiches for 10 15 years dominance in the condiment game don't even get me started on on catchup don't even like we're not even going to talk about it that's what's really cool uh big opponent there Steven Tok one of the hardest hitters uh long time Detroit Lion um I'm just hoping he doesn't take it too hard uh on America's favorite condiment I was going to say kind of thinking about those early Lions teams he's one of the people that I think about like those early Lions teams when I started watching in like the 2010s right like he was like the staple of that defense we're ready to go we're in Raleigh uh Stephen to reing his Squad his school so you got to think uh a lot of Pride on the line for Stephen T ton of Pride right now on the line for him as you can see tubby on offense tubby what kind of offense we run in I mean listen it's got to be hard to see out of a jar mayonnaise so able to pick up two on the ground I like getting that ground game can imagine what it's like in terms of how hot it is inside of that too it's it's going to be so difficult he rocking for the first time we're seeing the Charlotte 49ers in action I was going to say I was looking at this match up right here I I thought stepan Tok was going to be NC State but actually turns out we are in Charlotte right neutral venue where in Charlotte North Carolina right now he decides that he wants to rock the Charlotte 49ers in this game what sort of Defense does tubby have nowhere to go for brown maybe a yard up through the middle third and seven now it'll be interesting to see if he tries to push the ball downfield right here I'm looking at his play Concepts on the screen right now does look like that he is going to try to find something downfield here third [Applause] down Ball's at the 43 yd line brown back to pass waiting looking for the Deep shot it's swatted away fourth and seven the defense I mean if Steven Tok knows defense knows anything it's defense and able to get back listen I know he was known as a linebacker a hard hitter look pretty good in the secondary right there it did look like we have a quick letter update by by the way seven to is NC State by the way little bit of a flip aoo on the graphic right there so seven Tok great defensive play right there from him but yeah it'll be interesting to see how he ends up playing this will he actually us her a linebacker too that's a very big meta in these types of games or is he going to be on the defensive line which you've seen a lot of people throughout today do tubby not scared he's not chicken he just goes in chicken salad pump fake okay well we're just not going to we're pretend that didn't happen Sten Tok with a stop look like it one of might have been one of those situations where maybe he double tapped a right when the play came out and forced him to end up Pump baking right there but regardless of that stepan Tok is able to get early stops in this game and right off the bat he's actually in trip side end which is one of the best formations in all of college football at 25 now we can see what stepen TK has on offense I mean those eyes are unsettling it's got to be an intimidation factor for tubby I was going to say I've played a lot of Madden games before and I've sat against some intimidating people before but sitting across from Mayo is probably a different type of challenge that seic has to face get over the middle not able to complete the pass looking for that little in route to KC it's going to be third and 10 for Steven tullet Grayson McCall in the shotgun three wide set two to the right side excuse me four wide we're going two by two with Jordan Waters in The Back Field Mcall back to pass pressure up the middle looking deep down the field swatted away fourth down decision time and that wasn't just a SWAT Nick that was antic SWAT right there the kembe matuma would be proud of that SW he he was just he was sitting right there and just knocked the ball completely out you can see the replay right there he was just waiting for that ball to swatted away to force the fourth down Stephen Tok not uh not a fan of special teams either fourth down Mcall floats it oh my uh the emphatic SW SWAT from the Charlotte 49ers I don't I don't know what they they're teaching here Nick in Charlotte but let me tell you when it comes to swatting the ball they are they are one of the best teams at it in college football 25 and now tubby back to work on offense trying to I mean listen he's little crosseyed but looking to to zero in on offense Norton on the right hip of BR it's tough to see man okay I mean that's that's a that's a thick mayonnaise okay sometimes you get caught up in the muck and you forget to snap the ball it happens happens to the best of us sometimes see what what is happening right here though cuz tuby tubby does end up making a play right here okay I was worried there for a second maybe he couldn't even see I'm just saying that that delay of game that yellow on the field that's a real mustard move right there I hear first and 10 15 though picks up two by the way I don't know if you see it one of my favorite little things I like when when uh schools have logos with little hints with little little sneaky things in them in the Charlotte 49ers logo is a pickaxe right in the middle yeah very cool I do see that 49ers like the miners really cool shout out to [Applause] Charlotte third down does tubby go to the air trying to get that one eye focused the Brows though I mean the Brows are looking on point for tubby definitely went might have got some threading done Brown back to pass right up the four verticals I mean one of the best plays one of the most the Les in in Virtual football for 30 years it's the bread and butter of football football the bread and Mayo really Bren and Mayo sorry Bren and Mayo is a much better we don't want to talk about his rivalry with Butters that's going to be a turnover on [Applause] Downs Stephen Tok defense being strong can he find a little offense the crowd filing in getting closer and closer to game time here from Charlotte you guys are having thank you so much for spending your Saturday with us Nick mesco De Croft along with you Grace McCall little sets up a little slip screen Steven tler got the block it out there he pitches it he fumbles it it's there for the taking it's picked up and he'll gain an extra nine I will tell you right there if he was able to somehow score that that would have been without a doubt the Saucy play of the day fourman Rush from the 49 uhoh uhoh uhoh Tubby's got space hurdles picked off interception Steven tulk throws the pick that interception brought to you by the Air National Guard I think when Steven Tok came onto stage we should have expected some defense in this game there's been so much defense so far in this game more defense have we probably seen all of today so far both opponents have had uh a couple drives each now and they haven't been able to get any points on the board setting up some hot routes back to work goes tubby round back to pass pump fake pump fake throws it late Norton oh he can't make the catch now he'll hurry back to the line with no audibles if I've seen that one before was going to say he only okay it's the crowd's affecting him pump fake and the defense gets there Steven Tok one of the best sack arst ever to play guess what he's got one for his defense and may loving this turbo offense right now getting back to the line of scrimmage right here you guys can see that Stadium pulse is being a major impact's going crazy pump fake throwing it up it's picked off stepen to with a pick and Palmer's got some room he's at the 50 4540 down to the 35 breaking tackles breaking hearts it's a first down that interception brought to you by the International Guard you're able to become the best you in the International Guard tubby can't be happy put on a real Sour performance right now great defense right now for both of these opponents it's really might be one of those games just like is it who's it first to 10 who's going to get 10 points in this game is are going to be able to come away with this win Mall little play action roll out across the middle he's got KC conception down to the eight yd line first red or first drive inside the 10 for either one of these opponents right now see where he can end up cooking up right here I like the run to the ball a lot in this area of the field I think is pretty difficult to pass but let's see what stepan Tok wants to do Endzone stepen tulk finds six he takes the lead and dances on him tubby can't be happy about that that defensive effort tubby did not like the looks of that one seven to or Stephen toik is static with how that one was well kicking's tough in this game special teams matter we got to practice our kicking we might have to put on a kicking clinic at least he was able to hit that one in the S uh we going Hail Mary might be a bold call looks like he thought better of that [Applause] Norton trying to find some room right side he'll get a yard 6 [Music] nothing as that'll take us to the end of one a eventful first quarter of action Steven toic with the lead but tubby still in this game looking to represent for the Dukes Mayo classic he's all decked out there too he is it looks like it looks like he's actually playing with no arms right now that might be why it's impressive it's all Mayo right now I mean I don't I don't know that the uh looking over the top almost picked up I don't want to say that this game is over but the door is open might I say the door is a little a jar thank you I'll leave now fired okay got it I mean just Ye Ye picked off it's Palmer the other way showing off the hurdle the high jump TW that ref almost had a pitch touchdown I was going to say that pitch was a little bit crazy right there I understand trying to make a crazy play but you're the free safety on that play there's obviously nobody behind you no one to pitch it there a little bit fortunate that that ball did actually go out of bounds there all right back to work goes step tullk Grayson Mcall in the shotgun fourman Rush picked up nicely over the middle of the field that's dangerous throw and tubby with the pick the answer one's up for tubby tubby trying to Hype up the crowd right now trying to get anything going on offense for him now trying to prove he's not just Elite at the game but the elite condiment back to where it goes to the ground game I love this here goes Orton Norton picking up a first down spun little bit of styling and profiling col brick Flair first time tubby is is starting to have a little bit of success now is he going to be able to punch it in here and get seven I was stick to this ground oh nope he's going to the air oh scrambling with BR I love this a little athleticism he's picking up the first down inside the red zone now too for tubby and this is big this is where games are we on Lost can he find a way right here to make a play happen he's been getting it done on the ground with a Charlotte 49ers H there's that dline from Raleigh NC State Steven toet with the stop I like what Dub's doing though he's kept the ball on the ground so to establish the run a little bit and have a lot more success with it Norton trying to find some room starting to key and Stephen T recognizing really only a rushing offense right now from tubby loading up the box bringing the pressure we saw actually right there too stepen Tok was actually usering the linebacker and was able to basically how he did in real light blow up that run all by [Applause] himself back to pass floats it into triple coverage Palmer's got three picks Steven tulk's defense coming up big you can see right there Palmer with his third interception of the day and you can see tubby right now now his his face expressure hasn't changed so he's got to do pretty be doing pretty good you know his eyes are still the same he doesn't look phas he he seems like he's in a good spot I don't know about you with tubby up here I'm craving a deli sandwich little bit of mayo on there Dukes only not crazy oh the pitch it's on the [Applause] ground I think we got a tap down that L1 button so just remove it completely out of the controller sh I do a little bit too much with that pitch play right now FanFest starting to pick up here outside Bank of America Stadium so we've hit the two-minute timeout Grayson McCall three wide to the right side solo receiver wide left Mall back to pass he's got Circle if he wants him instead he throws it into coverage and tmy with another pick it's McGee the other way and this has been one of the best defensive games I think I've ever seen Nick I feel like CFB is a pretty high-powered offensive game but both of these guys have kind of figured out themselves on offense and getting a ton of defensive stops right now this jar is not just the king he's not just a prince he's the Duke of mayonnaise scramble uh-oh never mind not on off offense though on offense he's in hell man what he ends up going to right here it's a helman's joke I got tons of them my condiment based humor is finally being used I was going to say I I hear all these jokes that you're making I they're going over my head some of them uh you need to catch up uh Norton up the middle nowhere to go first one I got right there I'm just saying like right now the offense right now it's the worst to sure what else do we got other condiments I can make jokes about huh my condiment based puns are running out the twitch chat is tuning out I'm about to be banned from the [Applause] stadium coming down to the wire in this one half battle oh tubby tubby tubby tubby tubby can he make a kick to take the lead and we just got warned Nick to that this game is only getting played to half time so that could be the that could be the game winning touchdown but he still needs to hit the pat as I said this game's only going to halftime we're just playing one half in this game can he make the P these are not easy to no he missed it Miss Tomy no they're still life six in peace now J's going to have a money drive to try to win this game himself but if I know anything field goal range is not going to be good enough kickoff goes out of bounds going to get great field position as Steven Tull needs points with one minute left 59 yards to the end zone what does Steven do defensive player does he have an offensive game plan Grayson McCall in the shotgun looking for the corner out swatted away good defense this this Charlotte manto man defense has been actually pretty crazy it's been great so far I mean you guys have seen a ton of defensive stops by both people but Charlotte really showing out on defense little little SWAT from be just no veto it's almost like a no look SWAT right there trick shot he's dude perfect and this is called SWAT here's what we need this is what I'm really looking for from steeve Tok on this game 48 seconds left I want zero pitch backs okay Buton does not exist so as he doesn't pitch we're probably going to be in a pretty good spot right here 43 seconds in counting McCall deep shot left side oneon-one Rogers can't make the play fourth and five looks like he's bringing out the pun team he's going to trust his defense which has been good until that last Drive neither player made an extra point both players scored on touchdowns fair catch taken now tubby a chance to shock the World tubby getting that fourth down almost Miracle on that last drive to make it 6 to6 and then miss the P doesn't feel right if this game ended in a tie though it does feel right if this game ended in a tie you remember Arizona against the Seahawks 66 tie yep that's why this game is like shot double coverage can't make the play does kind of feel like that going for this compressed gun douche close formation tubby trying to oh that was a dangerous throw can't make the catch trying to find some offense hurrying up I mean not scared at all he's going for the win right [Applause] now pressure up the middle throws it up fourth and 10 he's going for this he's going he's going for this leaving all the mayonnaise out on the field eging him on the crowd wants to see a tubby Victory taking the shot and Mac almost caught it it's a turnover on downs and Steven toic is in field goal range can he just make the kick that's all it's going to come down to now he does have 18 seconds he could be a little bit aggressive trying to get the ball into the end zone right here if he wanted to but he's in field goal range can he make the kick to win the game the question do you think any coaches are going to be watching this game and trying to come up with game plans BAS around what these guys are doing the decision making End Zone oh a scary read how many coaches are going for it on Fourth and five from their own 20 yard line in the tie game can't imagine many people are going to be doing that one it's bold it's a bold decision maybe D bold mayonnaise right there Mcall get rid of it oh the defense Charlotte showing out 7 seconds left basically have one shot to the end zone right here if you want and then after that it's to come down to the field goal kick we know about how difficult field goal kicking is in this actually he's going for the kick now I like the decision oh no time out to L ice now after seeing that kick meter do you have a second do you second guess yourself do you want to try to go for a touchdown right here or do you feel confident in trying to hit this field goal Steven Tok going for it for the win he pulled it left looks like we have our first tie of the day Nick he can't believe what just [Applause] happened do we have a tubby miracle going for it all it's swatted away and we get a 66 ball game I think that feels about right that feels right a tie between stepen tullk and tubby I I mean what a battle between two competitors it was a great game and it really came down to just an extra point battle that's all it came down to if one person just makes a what is it in college 20 20 yard field goal right yeah 20 yard fi they win the game but they both couldn't do it they could uh I think we got our man shift standing by with some postgame reaction front we have two more NC State recent grad and alumni I've got Isaiah Moore I've got Greg Gibson 2022 alums so I've been told that

had a full day of action had great best of three matchups we're leading into that NC State Tennessee game in there but we got two NC State alums battling it out right now uh but tell me did you think in your professional career as both a Madden player as a and a Caster you thought you would ever call a game involving a a jar mayonnaise I did not I think I I think that's a once in A- lifetime type of experience I don't think I'm ever going to have an experience of that ever again yeah it's as good as it gets oh we got a mirror match one of the great Parts about regs mirror match it's NC State NC State so we're gonna see duelan Grayson mcal guess what hey NC State can't lose this game NC State will finally get on the board no matter what happens NC state has won a game today appreciate everybody hanging out with us twitch chat hanging out all day long we got 10 stops on the tour so make sure you sign up to compete sign up for your ladders get a chance to come on out here and play live on the truck next up we got UCF bounce house in Orlando we got Air Force and Colorado Springs and we got more to announce more to come 10 stops along the way it's going to be a lot of fun this year uh you know as a professional Madden player somebody does this there's nothing that beats alive in person game there's nothing better especially with the whole Co era too you know you had those years where you had to play from home you couldn't go to out to events and stuff like that we're finally back we're finally in person it is super cool to be able to say that this is a thing that can be done for anyone handoff picking up a couple love to see this NC State Defense get going run that 335 try to create havoc in the back field it's second and eight as Isaiah Moore has the ball looks over the middle looking for Rogers that's broken up and I think Nick this game might have more meaning than either one of us originally realized these two former ncate alums were actually roommates so they I have some of my biggest games against my roommates in college I was going to say I don't know didn't want to go to bed and have him holding that over your head there's only one time that they're going to be able to play out here and try to win this game this is going to be something that could be talked about for decades to come this 30 minute game could be huge outside can Rogers K there's picked off Cay with the pig to the 30 3540 up near Midfield that interception another one of our Air National Guard interceptions in the interntional guard you not only serve your country but also the community you call home become the best you in the International Guard great defensive play right there the thing I can see from both of these players too they're not in coach additions too they have their formations that they really like they have plays that they're going out of their way specifically we're finally starting to see the red show up maybe they were just sleeping in listen it was all burnt orange early in the crowd here outside the the rally cry TR but now the wolf pack fans the pack came together just going to say it took him a little bit of time to be able to get out here uh I say it's probably pretty 50/50 right now in terms of looking out at the crowd he just used custom audibles he knows what he's doing out here he just switched up his audibles second and 10 for Steven Gibson off the interception and is Mcall back to pass pressure picked up momentarily but that's a really long developing play nobody opened downfield just offensive line couldn't hold up long enough right there to be able to allow mall to be able to get that pass off right there third and 10 balls at the 47 yd line Mall angle route oh the user could have had a pick there but a nice lead to the outside and Waters has a first down and you can see the energy already being brought on stage both of the competitors are playing from across from each other and right there he just stood up and looked across him to have a little bit of Trash Talk be said going to that Jet Sweep well covered on the other side I mean it's almost like being two NC State teams they know the other team's offensive Playbook mirror match obviously these two guys have known each other for so long too so you'd have to imagine that they've played football video games at one point or another so typically in these types of games where you know what your opponent wants to call defense becomes a little bit easier Mcall rolling right there not a lot open late throw almost picked off right there one of those where you probably should have just thrown the ball away tried to make a play and do a little bit too much though what's uh and what's scary is that not only roommates but he said might be will be the best man in his wedding someday he loses this game it's definitely coming up in the best man speech exactly I mean this is one of those things that could be brought up for a long time but talking about like just such a cool thing to be able to go to football or go to college for football and then be able to meet the connections and people that you are able to off of it mall all sorts of time third and 13 he'll take off the red seat parts and Grayson Mcall picks up a first down right there you can see Steven right there hyped getting that first down actually did a great job right there able to get the first down then was immediately to get down to not take a big hit and take any form of wear and tear oh bubble screen action KC got a little room picks up nine that it looks like Stephen is like very well versed in this uh football video game he's calling a lot of the meta plays he's calling a lot of really good plays he's had a lot of success with him you can see right here Nick too he is in gun Bunch first time we've seen gun Bunch today that means he knows ball and he knows Grayson McCall quick throw oh the defense creating Havoc able to send a little bit of pressure set a linebacker Blitz right there Isaiah did at Steven and was able to create an incompletion third and yard pressure picked up momentarily but nobody open he's going to get an intentional grounding that was some really good defense on the other side and now we get into this area of the field where it's pretty difficult to hit a field goal from this distance and it actually does look like he's going to come out in this Bunch offense right here actually looks like okay he's he's scrolling through right now looks like he's actually going to come out now in trips tight end on this fourth and 16 that's a big intentional grounding right there [Applause] on fo he had him open and just miss him Mall little too much Steam on that throw and just like that it's a turnover on downs we stay scoreless in this miror match he had the seam open right there just put a little bit too much should I say Mayo on it instead of mustard I think he put a little bit too much Mayo on it way too much well done first condiment pun that's sign of a broadcaster there's a first down and that'll take us the end to one scoreless in Raleigh oh here's my question does because it's a mirror match does the away away NC State feel the stadium PSE honestly I'm not sure I hope it's just both I hope they both I hope both I hope it's just both teams are cheering for the defense sure that's what I'm hoping for I I just hope that they're always cheering no braak how about I form stretch what do that bring you back to for for those that don't know Madden 20 was a ey form stretch type of year it was a uh dark memories for some of us dark dark memories good memories for joke not so Grace for other people though serious Mo went crazy that year just remember that sound effect every play armar going crazy pistol formation three wide set two to the left one to the right side Grayson McCall back to pass looking for the slot fade it's well covered but KC goes up and KC makes a Play What a play right there that's the thing sometimes you just got to give your Superstars a one-on-one chance right there you can see on the replay right here throws it up gives his guy one-on-one chance and is able to make a big time that's why he is one of the best in the game Kevin concepion first down for Isaiah Moore and why not give him another chance Jet Sweep can Fitzgerald run him down he can but not before he picks him first down it looked like there too he actually had the edge it really looked like I thought he was going to be gone right there but was able to have enough recovery speed to at least prevent the touchdown in that play theall back to pass waiting look oh look at that little flat come down make a play on the receiver dangerous throw into coverage yeah it looked like right there if the receiver just wasn't at least able to break it up himself that probably would have been a walk in pick six right there looking left side that one also dangerous living on the edge right now it's going to bring up a third and 10 these underneath Corners play so well in this game Mall oh he's got him he's got him Rogers Endzone touchdown we've got a score talk about a great play right there they actually changed it this year in college football 25 you used to be able to Zig any of the wide receivers but now the outside receivers you cannot Zig anymore but on that specific play that he called he had a stock Zig on the outside wide receiver and he was able to find that read late to be able to have a easy walk-in touchdown to go up 70 and just like that Isaiah Moore takes the lead was looking tough early but able to cash in off the interception now does Stephen Gibson have an answer coming out in this strips offense and as you guys can see he's actually in a custom offense he has basically all these super cool unique plays that he's assigned into a specific Playbook you got to think back in college roommates how many games of Madden you think those two played against each other I wonder at like what Stakes it they ever play at 4 to like you know what would like CH who the pizza yeah who's getting dinner tonight things along the lines of that triangle does he try for triangle does he lead it the right way does the safety get back there over the top KC too much speed stunting on the goal line dancing on the goal line there's an answer and this is how you can tell that their roommates he didn't go score he wanted to run across the sideline and make sure he knew that he had scored on that play to show off a little bit trying to angle that kick 77 Moren Gibson battling it out NC State fans got to be happy because they got points on the board and they can't lose it's it's only a win right now for NC State shotgun formation for Mall they'll give it to Waters and there goes Waters up the middle he's got a lot of room he's past Midfield he's past the 40 Cay makes the tackle but a huge run Jordan Waters you give him a little space and he makes you pay and in the words of RG you need to get a little bit icky right there you need to have a juke move you need to try to get out right there sadly no juke move or nothing so a great play on first down on back the well again this time this time he was ready uh by the way 246 to go in the first half Northern Illinois Sixpoint lead over Notre Dame shout out to Da cab Illinois and the Huskies yeah I'm curious because I know you're a college football fan when you play like like ND did last week at like a big game and then you go back until probably with like a s uh oh that's a pick that's a pick Brown's got some room Brown's got some room right side pass Midfield past the 35 oh he made Grayson mccole that's your quarterback that's your quarterback you just made look silly house call touchdown brought to you by California almonds eat your almond own your Prime that's got to be our sauc I was about to say that is our sauciest play of the day he was able to not only get the interception but then able to return it to the house as well that is without a doubt the sauciest play of this game Saucy play brought to by Wendy's Wendy's bringing the sauce to game day with their new Saucy nugs the nugs you love just got even better I mean Grayson McCall's got to be like guys come on you're on my like route for me like you had to make me look like that no I to to answer your question before we were rotely interrupted by a 70 yard pick six it's just a let down spot yeah it's a huge let down spot for for for Notre Dame coming off an emotional win at Kyle Field take down Tex s now you got to come home sleepy 330 start take on the MC team uh kind of understandable that you're going to come out just a little slow see if they recover in the second half you can't lose that game M be interesting too because I know a lot of the like the talk around here too is NC State didn't look good against a great opponent last week are they going to be able to have success this week against a much Superior opponent than the okay he hit him right by the blue tent we got to get some Flags out here it's also I like that play does the roll out left but didn't try to throw it it's dangerous trying to throw cross body rolling the wrong way ESP you with wear and tear too if you try to open up your throwing arm right there you take a big hit that can really take your quarterback out for the rest of the game I thought I I don't know you you can't see what players's eyes are doing but I feel like he was looking for that post route I feel like he was staring down and his eyes lit up he was like wait a second all right let me not throw that one ended up hitting his drag right there and right here we are actually going to see a pun little bit surprising you know do you know who the punter is like you you've never hit a punt in your life I had to do a lot of research in terms of learning all these different punters this is called a a pun yeah it's a punt professional Madden players uh really hate special teams 77 our Score first half action here from The Dukes Mayo classic and I'm letting you know that the people are filing in excited for the game as we are what two hours from game time they're all going to be trying to get in the stadium Mcall back to pass looking for that corner outout double covered and it's picked off double coverage can't make that throw and Isaiah Moore down by seven a minute 7even to go he's got new life that's one of the best defensive players right there and Aiden white able to make that play and you guys can see right there the turnover celebration too that's something they spent a ton of time doing doing in this game is making sure they had authentic turnover celebrations for all the teams and there goes Waters great juke move outside Jordan Waters Jordan Waters got green grass 15 10 five to the crib that outside juke move was absolutely nasty and that play right there for sure had that sick work that I was talking about that I wanted earlier I wanted that juke move earlier but right there he's able to hit it and you guys can see what was able to happen got a brand new ball game turnover One play later what looks like a simple little 01 trap turns into six 14's up 58 seconds left in the half Stephen gives him back on offense right here is he going to get be able to get anything going he did throw a pretty bad pick this last time he's going a bunch of this is one of the staple plays within mad hit the crossing route great was actually pretty good user on defense you saw him usering with the linebacker taking away those middle routes but eventually you get that long Crossing route to get over to the sidelines first down and stops the clock just going to say that there's been some high quality gameplay here there has been there's been some good reads some good plays definitely high quality gameplay we're watching right here Waters fumbles it it's picked up Aiden white picks it up going the other way he'll be taken down to the 35 yd line little angle route nice play but you got to secure the football I think this is going to get Booth reviewed if I'm not mistaken I think this is going to get Booth reviewed oh so actually I thought it was under 2 minutes that is it not under two minutes since Booth reviewed regardless he ends up actually throwing the challenge fan and he gets it he gets back I was going to say I I didn't was close elbow was down that could have been massive up the middle almost picked off by Betty in the middle shift Don't Unplug the internet okay we need this game to keep going it's 14 AP piece there's no there's no blowout happening right now so we can let this one play out second and 10 29 10 seconds left in the first half Grayson [Applause] McCall droing back look a little out route misses him on the out route that's what's tough in this game you know Madden for so many years were used to just holding right leading him outside you actually had some of these out routes don't want to lead them you you'll overthrow a lot of those outward breaking routes yeah one of the things is you're seeing a lot of this new passing feature in revamped passing revamp passing is a brand new feature in cars football 25 he a little bit of getting used to though in terms of what throws you can can't make with it there is not a soul open oh the playmaker the playmaker was nasty jokes him at the two and puts it in for six that is composure in the pocket he realized he had all day right there saw he had a drag route playmaker him up the field finds him late and he's able to get seven right there we are seeing an offensive showc Cas in this one as Gibson takes the lead 2114 just 19 seconds left we've seen more score quickly though sces out of the end zone he's got a little bit of room nice juke move going for the strip you see the strip animation trying to peanut punch that ball out it's going to say this is one of those situations right where just get to half you know 14 seconds left more bad is going to happen then good more often than not I would like just a run call right here and just get to halftime eight carries for 114 for Isaiah Moore one carry for step Gibson hasn't even gone to Waters that much Waters will pick up a couple timeout taken Stephen Gibson takes the time out I was going to say you can see right there too he's saying why did you take that timeout and I I I kind of agree why did you take that timeout little bit confusing timeout and now if I personally I might take a shot right here and he is in this five wide right here calling vertical right here too see if he's able to find something quarters three deep hits a little out route 6 seconds left gets a little close for the Hilary by the way one of my favorite like mid major rivalries just kicked off they're in the first quarter the Battle of I35 the UTSA road runners and the Texas State Bobcats 73 right now Texas state with the lead big shout out to me Meep and the road runners Owen McCord or Owen McCown Josh macau's kid playing quarterback for the UTSA road runners Mall eets this one up back in the end zone no Rocky catch there we'll go to the second half 2114 GI with the lead right there just trying to make a play happen I actually like that too trying to see if you you've seen crazy catches happen throughout today see if you're able to have some success right there what an atmosphere I mean that I will say this I I'm a I'm a sucker for college atmospheres I love college campuses I love the college stadiums but I think this professional stadium is gonna be rocking tonight what if I told you this is the first time I'm actually so I I went to like college games as like a kid right like under 10 right but this is the first college game I'm ever going to that I remember like I cannot wait to see what the atmosphere especially at a neutral site right like I don't know what team is going to be more heavily fa like like favored in the crowd right might be 50/50 who knows there's a lot of orange out here a lot of Orange Knoxville showed out Jet Sweep nope fake jet site looking for the big play yo casy just drop that ball you don't need to lose four just drop it man he was able to ke stay in bounds right there I don't think there was any so you got to lead that inside and pull them closer to the field going say I don't think there was anybody within like 20 25 yards right there if you got that passed inside like you said and able to get out there might it could have been a huge play for him trips tight end does that make you feel good you like seeing the trips out there Mall rolls right he's got the corner but he throws it at the user and the user Picks It Off Betty the other way life for Isaiah Moore gets the stop out of half and is in great field position I was going to say Nick I hope this is how tonight's game goes it's been back and forth it's been a great game so far I I originally I thought Isaiah was going to run away with it then Steven came back I thought he was going to run away with it getting ball out of hack but right now looks like Isaiah does have the momentum to potentially take control back of this game can go under s haven't seen a lot of single back goes with the quick Jet Sweep to KC KC picks up yeah we'll call it for yeah the these two players are doing a great job in terms of getting the ball to KC like they've done anything they've done done in terms of being able to make him make plays they've allowed him to do it stretch on left side oh Jordan wat's got the edge that's where you'd love the spin move so good spin back inside just going to say right there both of these players love the Juke right it's nothing wrong to have a Juke that or like a a skill move that you favor more but you got to make sure you're diverse you got to make sure that you know how to use each and every one to best maximize the Run game how about how much more has been used in the Run game 10 K already for Jordan Waters 129 y say we've seen a a lot of running the ball today I feel like most people have had over 100 yards rushing in today's games I'll dump off underneath to concepion graceon McCall having a good game but Grace McCall also having a really good game in this one yeah he's had a great game so far you know I think the offense has looked very balanced for both of these competitors so far uh-oh uh-oh boner with the pig sits on that slant route and Cashes in for absolutely nothing now we say that he cashes in for absolutely nothing but he is at the one so maybe just maybe that safety can happen here an interception brought to by the Air National Guard become the best you in the interir National Guard ball at the one yd line fullback dive maybe a yard just trying to get any form of breathing room right here looks like he's actually now going to go to this Wishbone offense so again just trying to get any form of positive yards trying to play get a little bit of field position here what's the story Wishbone Waters nice run there I might stick to that if it's that effective and as you say that Nick goes to the hurry up sticking in that offense Wishbone tight Mcall under Center three halfbacks why not go the other way Raphael nowhere to go fourth and two decision time it didn't look like a decision actually whatsoever from he went straight to five wide he just went straight to five wide he said nope no decision here and I'm going for it empty Trio oh he's going to look for this Jet Sweep going to look for this Jet Sweep he's going to get out of here Mall brings him in motion it's the jet touch pass it's well scouted and nowhere to go Fork down stop and that is a perfect user right there snuffed it out was able to get to the edge was able to H hold up the edge and allow everybody else to Rally to be able to make a play and goes to dece close runs the stretch and loses a bunch back to the nine yard line and right there as I said before that was a great user play on defense right there the edge was set there nowhere to go to the edge to be able to make a play Mall shotgun four y throws that out route late oh Bon her second pick of the game what a undercut of that out route an unbelievable diving interception and the second time in two drives he gets down to the Red Zone and ends up making a critical mistake to not get any form of points that's two short field and two picks and we'll go to the fourth quarter no points by the way in that third quarter not a single point was scored which is crazy to think about because of how good those drives did look for both of those opponents but just weren't able to capitalize when they needed to fourth quarter action Mall back to pass underneath he's got jol I mean he's got that stick work he try to make a play right there he actually did something that's really good right there what he actually tried to do right there he's tried to kind of like bait to go inside to set up like oh I'm going to go this way just set up the spin to go back outside really good stick work RG would love love that stick work it's getting sticky out there Mcall deep shot might have him KC oh that defense prized that one free had a step right there there but great recovery right there from Aiden white to be able to knock it out second and 10 final quarter of play look at oh he's got the corner route really nice route combo there Collins Fancy Feet like Fred a stair P up the first down that's one of those things that typically in Madden what I've played for so long you see that jumping animation towards the SEL you get scared because will he get that second foot in bounds College obviously different able to get that one foot in bounds and it's super hit there and avoided the hit yeah this is actually one of my favorite plays I love this little slot post put him on a Texas route hits the drag it's Jolie once again first down Drive continues for stepen Gibson user just a little bit slow right there wasn't able to keep up with the tight end on that drag route we got wolfy out here Mr Mrs wolf out here as he finds Waters out of the back field went for the Stop and Go unfortunately it was just the stop right here back to hurry up here too he likes what he sees I feel like if you like what you see you always going to hurry up in these types of situations AUD to the gun Bunch right here look like he's going to call a little bit of vertical action Mall Endzone uhoh that's not a good read that's not a good read Aiden White's back there and Aiden white with the pick like a defibrillator Isaiah Moore has life and Isaiah Moore has a guac drive now can he finally just get seven he's had some really good drives but he just hasn't been able to score in this second half can he find a way to get points I love this right now you see a lot of NC State fans we got a lot of Tennessee fans we got one West Virginia fan let's go man Garrett green baby come on shout out to Neil Brown in West Virginia and Stephen Gibson looking for another stop can he hold up more going to the ground game it's Jordan Waters nowhere to go when I form great defense right there but he is on the plus side again he's at the opponent's 45 right now he just needs seven and Nick my question for you in these situations turn off the controller wow oh okay sorry you get you you get six yeah what's the call depends how much time's left let's just say let's just say he gets six with like 30 seconds left you're putting up the twos and going put twos oh roll out dumps it off Waters has some room out there we're going to get a p are we getting a late hold illegal no it's illegal cont he accepted it he didn't Cline it you saw he he was down to the 15 he accepted it that's a mistake a coaching mistake accepting that elal contact penalty wow he would have been down at the 10 yd line he ends up I don't know if he fat fingered it I don't know what ended up happening but right here is he going to get it oh I thought I thought he had some room but Jordan Waters will pick up six going to the hurry up right here too we got Mr wolfy Mr Wolf cheering them on a little massage all right all right staying loose McCall rolling right waiting waiting he's scrambling he's got the first down pies up the first down right there first and 10 Buck 31 to go the crowd is rocking in Raleigh Mcall late throw he's got him it's Collins Out of Bounds at the 8 yard see this was brilliant he took the illegal contact cuz he knew he was going to get down there and the clock he just wanted to make it more entertaining for all of us I guess right here though the pistol trips he's been here a lot play action that Zig is well covered throws it late he's got it to the four I really hope we see the Run game right here feel like whenever he's passed the ball down here he hasn't had a t of success we had two turnovers in this in this area would love to see any type of run halfback dive high back stretch what's he going to go with right here Isaiah water nowhere to go see this where CH clock you got to turn CH clock on all right turn timeout though smart move see if he goes under center right here he's been a shotgun a lot this drive pistol specifically will he go back I I would love an under Center stretch right here he's actually going to stay in this pistol trips though third and goal doesn't go Jet Sweep goes read option Waters Endzone touchdown Big Time play right there he's going to kick the extra point trust the defense you can see Wolfie helping him out right there pumping up the crowd 21's [Applause] up fans ready to pile into Bank of America Stadium Wolfie pumping up Isaiah right now NC State fans out here right now McCall left side he's got Collins Collins got room to the 50 yd Line This fourth quarter finish brought to you by heude heude shoes are lightweight comfortable stylish and affordable shoes that are made for both men and women find your perfect pair of heude shoes today minute four and Counting Stephen Gibson I I wouldn't trust the kicking game but they have made made all their extra points today they've looked good so far when it comes to the Special Teams aspect right there he's got him he's got him over the top it's Jolie once again 205 10 5 run out the clock he's into the end zone touchdown and I wonder right there I don't think he wanted to be tackled you can see he's not the happiest right now I think he was trying to go down and then just out of nowhere he gets tackled into the end zone that's going to give Isaiah a chance right now to be able to respond with his own drive to get seven touchdown brought to you by California almonds a big thank you to California almonds for sponsoring the tour eat your almonds on your Prime Isaiah with 50 seconds now looks like he's going to be taking the ball out right here 50 seconds we've seen him have some pretty good drives here can he again respond and get seven and a lot of these look at him using Zone drops too A lot of these drives have been have been catapulted by big run plays I don't know if you can even go to the run here just going to say maybe on one down you can say okay this is a run down but I would be surprised if the Run was used a lot right here got Mist we got Miss wolf up here trying to support on these wolf pack where are my NC State fans [Music] [Applause] at Grayson McCall to work back to pass look left side he's got Collins first down out of bounds love that that play right there too you hit a simple drag you're able to pick up the first down give yourself a set of new four downs and you're also able to get out of bounds too Mall 35 seconds left once again looking underneath that clock is still moving didn't get out of bounds that's brutal right there love The Possession catch there just rack catch it and go out of bounds just got to Rack catch it right there [Applause] third and seven off the sack it's got to look for something down the field it's going to say now you have to push the ball down field this is almost am I going to say this is hail miror territory let yet you still got 23 seconds but this play really has to be a chunk play you need like 20 plus yards on just called no high safety here comes the pressure it's mid blit got to get rid of it looking over the top can't he get there it's just overthrown fourth and seven fourth in the ball game I love the play called risky defense right there covers zero maybe a better throw gets it done and you're able to pick up a ton of yards but wasn't able to have it hit big high safety look more trying to stay in this fourth and seven he does he picks up a first down that's a tight window throw and a beam from the Coastal Carolina transfer a booth review though Nick is it going to get over he got the one foot in bounds he did they're going to I say it stands the big thing about this too Nick as I said you get a clock stoppage after every first down you just have to make sure you get a first down in this situation you can't throw anything behind the first down marker Casey in the slot he might have had him oh he hits the Crosser he's got Joie 10 seconds he's got to hurry up hurry up offense right here he's going to go all go right here try to make a read ball is spotted clock is running 7 Seconds seconds 6 seconds final play possibly Mall 3 seconds he's got him he's got him does he go for two in the win crowd should he go for two they're putting the twos up he's oh he's getting booed kick is up with 1 second we are all tied o [Applause] will we see a last minute Miracle here though I do not think we will it's overtime put your fives up we're going to OT 28's up I think it was Mr and Mrs wolf that brought the overtime on I'm not going to lie talk about a great game to end though with bonus football right here oh call I think college football overtime rules some of the greatest rules ever talk about a way to be able to end our first show here today oh it's nerve-wracking it is more with the ball first out of the pistol gives it to Jordan Waters nowhere to go second down both teams are going to get the ball once right here they both get seven we go to another double overtime if they both get three same thing if obviously if one team has more points at the end they win Mall pistol look for conception one-on-one slot fade does he take the shot to him no he doesn't he throws it late I mean steps up and delivers a beam Rogers down to the three that is a missile right there kept his composure in the pocket found the open Lane and was able to find that route late over the middle of the field goes back to the pistol do we see Jordan Waters down at the two yd line Jet Sweep nope fake Zone Waters Waters oh into the end zone does his job that touchd brought you by California almonds eat your almonds own your Prime now stepen Gibson be able to respond right here 25 yards that's all he needs he's had great success so far today on offense will he be able to get another seven in overtime 3528 stepen Gibson now can he answer gun Bunch McCall quick throw left side Rogers feet in bounds yes indeed nine yards looks like Isaiah does not agree with that one I think he is challenging this let's see oh oh you can't see this is me being a little bit of a rookie Nick pretty sure that's a booth review right in overtime let's see if there is a booth review no Booth review though did get it defeat and bounce step Gibson has only run the ball once today goes that RPO maybe that's why third and three had a lot more success passing the ball it's tough though when you can't run the ball in those obvious situations it's tough to be onedimensional in these types of games Mall shakka double a gap oh no he knows the meta it's double a gap Jet Sweep yep KY on the Jet Sweep avoids one can't avoid the second fourth and seven this is your ball game I don't know how I feel about that right there he's had so much success passing the ball I get run run I I know it's pass don't get me wrong it's a fake it's a fake pass it's a fake pass at the end of the day fourth and seven for the game now seven yards from staying alive Mcall back to pass fourman rush goes out route he's got Collins and Collins has a first down and cuts inside first and goal Grayson McCall coming up with a clutch throw and talk about a ballsy Reed throws at only three yards is trusting your receiver to make up the rest of the Yards and he's able to get the first is he going to go speed option we haven't seen an option yet speed option pitches it it's fumbled and that's your ball game Carter going the other way goes the speed option and why not puts six more on the board more to the house and to the win what a great way to end this game ends up going to the speed option I thought he had it I thought he had a walk it I got hit right as he was pitching just waited a little bit too long to pitch it wasn't able to make a play right there and Isaiah able to get the win I mean an unbelievable game to close out our day of games here at the truck Nick mesco DRC along with you these two put on a show how about ending with an overtime game what a game game of the day without a doubt and it came down to the wire to Red Zone was the difference in that game though if they had better red zone offense that's who would have won the game I mean
