come out in a nickel they'll throw on first down with he's on the Run get a good seven yards on that one yd gain on the [Applause] play second and three coming up ball in the 30 on the 30 yd line Bunch formation the counter and he's going to lose yards on this one oh man he'll feel that one in the morning that's called making a statement when you get into the back field like that and put somebody on their back it really sends it's third down and five to go ball on the 32 yd line and they have three bun drops back pass throws it to the outside almost picked off they're really fortunate that wasn't intercepted not a very smart decision by the quarterback he had no shot comp yeah but that Defender had a he just didn't catch it four wide go to the back and they don't get the first and the D answered the call there and this is huge for them it's setting up the stage for their offense to take the field and make some big time plays they'll start this drive at the 35 yd line the Blue Devil come out in the a formation little misdirection tackle picked up a yard of anything on that run no gain on the play [Applause] so it's second and 10 ball on the 35 the devil come out showing three wide play action lets it Fly he got it there he goes goodbye look at that for a second there I could have scored that back of the football beautiful play yeah I don't know if it was the offensive coordinator the head coach or just quarterback checking off my hat goes off to whoever called that play [Applause] and he TS on the extra point this drive summary is brought to you by Pontiac [Music] [Applause] number 49 is lined up to kick this one off four back to return here's the kick number 27 Tak at the 14 their last Drive ended when they decided to try for it on fourth down and were turned away by the defense they'll go to work at the 28 the Phoenix line up with three wide they'll throw on first down watch to throw outside and down he goes I like the defense that was called they just didn't make the play on the ball you're right it wasn't necessarily a bad defense the offense just executed and the result is a first step it's first and 10 ball on the 39 he comes to the line only one man in the back field there's a play fake he's in trouble and they get the sack the quarterback had nowhere to go and he's brought down for the sack they've got to do a better job up front with their pass protection if they don't start picking up everybody then this quarterback is going to be pretty sore in the morning that's for sure second and long ball on the 32 yd line one man Back Field drops back to pass with the throw he's got his receiver with nobody around it a pick up of four on the play it's third down down at 13 to go B on their own 36 number 14 lines up in the shotgun back to pass he steps up he's looking he gets rid of it and it's caught and he's tackled they picked up some yards but it won't be enough to keep those chains moving they went to the right guy he just couldn't get away 46 ball on the 43 yd line they line up to put this one away didn't get all of that one return number 39 Fields it at the 40 great passing was the key for the offense the last time they had the ball they were able to pick apart the defense and get down the field for a touchdown so if I'm the coach I'm telling my defensive lineman to get more pressure on that quarterback please they'll look from the shotgun step up looks throws it to the outside his receiver has it way to look it in nice catch sure was he displayed some great hand there now we're looking at a first [Applause] down it's first and 10 ball in the 48 Duke goes with the a set here he drops back down the middle with the spin brought down nice decision by the quarterback Not only was it good decisionmaking but the offensive line protected just long enough for him to find his Target and when you combine the two it'll be a first down nine out of 10 times the devil come out in a two- tight end set toss and they got him for loss and that was a good step by the defense they got him in the back field that's a great example of quickness by the defensive line it allows you to break away from those blockers before they have a chance of moving you away from the play Duke comes out with an eye formation drops back to pass wants to throw outside complete What A Catch I like the defense that was called they just didn't make the play on the ball you're right wasn't necessarily bad defense the offense just executed and the result is a first [Applause] down first and 10 they're inside the 20 the devil come out in the Ace formation nice play fake he's going left finds a man way to look it in nice catch sure was he displayed some great hands there now we're looking at a first down Duke up in a goal line set set up play action and it's incomplete that pass Falls incomplete In The End Zone chalk that one up to the pressure in the quarterback's face absolutely they had a tremendous Rush coming in at him and it was all he could do to avoid the sack Duke comes out with an eye formation touchdown Duke all right your team is down by three touchdowns in the first quarter what you telling those kids on the sideline the ey and say hey there's more than 34 at0 it's your choice either lie down and lose by 50 or man up dig yourself out of this hole so you can head into halftime with something to work for and he hits the Pat and here's the Pontiac Drive summary [Music] [Applause] Duke is ready to kick it away number 27 back deep to return short kick he didn't get a hold of that one number four takes from the 10 and now a slight break in the action as the offense comes out onto the field for their next [Applause] possession they'll set up shot at the 27 number 14 has four receivers lined up here rolls to the right and they couldn't hook up on that one the quarterback had a tough time with a blitz on that one now with this guy guy you can't let him stand back there and have too much time to throw the ball you've got to get a hand in his face so it's second and 10 B on their own 27 number 14 with three wide receivers inside G he's gobbled up in the back field a loss on that one as he couldn't get past those big linemen you got that right they sacrificed their bodies in there and stuffed him it's third down and 11 to go B on their own 26 Elon sets up with four receivers steps up in the pocket throws a lot pass out to the right complete tackle nice stop by the defense well he let him catch it but they were not going to let him get that first down [Music] the Phoenix line up the punt number7 number 9 punts it and he didn't get much distance on it number 39 Fields it the 46 passing wasn't much of a problem the last time this offense had the ball as they were able to get it in for six they'll get the ball here at the 47 yd [Applause] line the devil come out in the Ace formation there's the play fake he lets it Go and it's caught and they make the stop nice decision by the quarterback Not only was it good decision-making but the offensive line protected just long enough for him to find his Target and when you combine the two it'll be a first down nine out of 10 times first and 10 ball on the 42 yd line they line up in the shotgun they'll throw on first down throws this one out to the left caught I like the defense that was called they just make the play on the ball you're right it wasn't necessarily bad defense the offense just executed and the result is a first [Applause] down it's first and 10 ball in the 29 yd [Applause] line dke comes out with an eye formation looking throw it to the outside defensive effort that time did you see how that safety played that ball that was a beautiful [Applause] play Duke lines up with three receivers 29 yd line back to pass with the throw and he dropped it incomplete pass number 33 the intended receiver on the play it's third down and 10 ball in the 29 29 yd line the devil line up with three wide he steps up he's looking PL time in the pocket rolls to the left he going left the five he's going to take it to the barn touchdown and the big lead just got bigger folks I've seen some amazing comebacks in my day but I'm not too confident that I'm going to see one today today I could be wrong you guys but I just don't see it happen I mean these guys aren't just scoring they're pitching a shut out [Applause] too great and he TS on the extra point more than 9 minutes left here in the first quarter and the score Duke 28 Elon [Music] nothing looks like ready for the kick number back deep to return short kickoff number four Fields it at the [Applause] 11 he looks to be hurt down there [Applause] they'll take over at the 26 the phoenix set up in the gun they'll throw on first down throws this one out to the left incomplete pass number 11 the intended receiver on the play it's second down and 10 to go ball on their own 26 the Phoenix come out the shotgun drops back to pass across the middle got him on the run the 50 and he's all the way down to the 45 yd line wow nice catch way to look at in job by the wide receiver these guys are moving the ball down the [Applause] field first ball on the 45 yd line Y Elon and a four wide set they'll throw on first down look throws it to the outside got it and he's brought down that was a big time a new set of down I think the defense might have been thinking run there coach well I don't blame him it's pretty common to see a run on first and second down but this offense is and them guessing it's first and 10 ball in the 14 Elon goes with the a set here here's a little draw play they'll bring it down three yards there on the play three yd gain on the play [Applause] 11 yds out the 11 y six DBS in the lineup nice play fake Ball's loose and he's going to lose yards on this one are they lucky or what the quarterback very fortunate that one of his guys recovered the football yeah he's got to be more careful out there either tuck that thing away or just get down before contact I don't care what he does just don't fumble that's all do whatever you have to do to protect that football steps up across the middle got it to his receiver tackle that's how you convert third down sweetheart that was a good looking play wasn't it coach oh yeah this offensive coordinator must have seen something in the defense he really likeed let's see if they can take this one in for six you got to be careful throwing in the coverage like that well coach I don't think it was a poor decision it was just a great reaction by the man in coverage theix line up to the goal line formation they'll reverse it touchdown they catch the defense off with a reverse and get the score oh man what a play call you set up defense by running to one side and just when they think you're going one way you reverse and you go the other way [Applause] six and he hits the pat so with over seven minutes left here in the first quarter score Duke 28 Elon [Music] seven and it looks like they're ready for the kickoff he kicks it number 39 Fields it to the [Applause] 19 they move the ball very effectively on their last Drive which ended with a touchdown the defense has been talking it over on the sideline trying to make some corrections let's see if they can stop him this time they'll go to work at the 33 yd line the devil come out in the a formation he tosses it short he has some room he's taken down and a nice pass to the ti end yeah this is what I like move the ball down the field use that nice and steady intermediate passing game it's second down and one to go ball on the 42 yd High formation here there's a play fake he might not be able to get the pass off and we got an injured player on the field third and five coming up ball on their own 38 3 [Applause] yd number 12 lines up in the shotgun steps up in the pocket throw he's right there for the interception brought down that int puts him in a position to make this game yeah they really needed that that's a huge boost to morale you're right KT now they got the big amm mo mo on their side they'll start this drive at the 36 yd line yine the Phoenix line up with three receivers bunched drops back to pass he steps up to throw outside incomplete the blitz was very effective that time yeah they brought the house and it was all they could do to get the ball out of there second and 10 ball in the 36 3 yd they'll bring in their dive package give it off here sheds that one and down he go the running back gives them six yards on the ground gain of on the play third down and four coming up on this one ball in the [Music] 30 Elon lines up in a bun formation he's into the open field and he's tackled and one goes for a big big first down you know every time you run the ball successfully like that that defense starts to creep up a little bit that's when you go to the air my friend over the top first and 10 they're threatening inside the 20 their last Red Zone trip resulted in a touchdown I don't expect this one to be any different touchdown that was a nice pass play and it gets the defense had a let down on that play [Applause] and he TS on the extra point time to take a look at the Pontiac Drive summary and remember the good Folks at Pontiac have been bringing you fuel for the soul since 1926 [Music] everyone's all lined up and ready for the kickoff Elon is lined up for the kickoff here's the kick return number four takes it the 15 defense won the last battle as they were able to pick the ball off who's going to win this time they'll set up shot at the 35 35 yd the Blue Devil line up with three [Applause] wide nice play fake wants to throw outside there he goes and he's taken down way to look it in nice catch sure was he displayed some great hands there now we're looking at a first down [Applause] it's first and 10 ball right around Midfield dke sets up in the eye they'll try to power it for the fullback tackle he's extraordinary fullback this guy can move you bet he can I like this kid he's a heck of a football player they need to get him some more carries [Applause] first and 10 ball on the 36 yd [Applause] line and they make the stop nice gain for the halfback that time they kept it on the ground with the counter play The Blocking was great up front and the tail back was able to get into the open field and do some special things it's first and 10 ball in the [Applause] 25 there's a play fake down the middle got him and he's tackled nice decision by the quarterback Not only was it good decisionmaking but the offensive line protected just long enough for him to find his Target and when you combine the two it'll be a first down nine out of 10 times single set back field setting up the play action pulling out to the right side he's going left and he just called in his second touchdown Catch of the Day the defense put somebody on this guy before he does serious damage getting pressure on the quarterback is also key you can't let this guy play pitch and catch with his receivers all day and he missed it he missed the extra point let's take a glance now at the Pontiac Drive summary looks like they're ready for the kick number five back to return short kick didn't get a hold of that one number 27 takes it at the 12 the offense comes out on the field once again it'll be interesting to see if this defense has made any adjustments to stop this running game because they sure couldn't stopped them from going down the field and scoring on that last Drive they'll take over at the 23 the Phoenix come out the shotgun steps up he's looking comes across the brought down I like the defense that was called they just didn't make the play on the ball you're right it wasn't necessarily bad defense the offense just executed and the result is a first down first and 10 ball on their own 422 y High formation here here they come and they bring him down for a sack on the play I think the offensive line missed a block there somebody did it was like a jailbreak up front and the linebacker will get the credit for the sack [Applause] it's second down and a long ways to go ball on the 36 yd line Elon goes with the ace set here he drops back steps up in the pocket under and they got him under Relentless pressure the quarterback goes down for the sack those guys on defense are just pinning their ears back right now coming in as fast as they can well in that case the offense need sneaking a screen pass it AE let get behind res pick off behind lers for [Applause] six third down and a couple miles here ball in the 32 and they have three Bunch back to pass look loses the football looks like a defensive lineman might have it and he does and it looks like there's an injury down there on the [Music] field and they'll look to capitalize on the good field position here they'll work from the shotgun they'll throw on first down looking throws it to the outside finds his receiver way to look at in nice kick sure was he displayed some great hands there now we're looking at first down Duke the line up in a jumbo here gets it ball no they faked it throws it to the outside and they couldn't hook up on that one number 9 the intended receiver the devil go with the eye formation play action he's looking to the end zone another score touchdowns have just become a habit for this team well the defense better find a way to break that habit because there's still a lot of football left to be played [Music] [Applause] and he TS on the extra point the find Folks at Pontiac bringing us this summary of how that drive took place [Music] everyone's all lined up and ready for the kick off five back to return kicks it off number 27 Fields it at the nine the last time they had the ball they it away on the fumble the old ball coach was not too happy about that either I'd hate to see that if it happens again first and 10 ball on their own 25 the Phoenix line up with three wide he steps up looks and now the ball is loose scooped up by the defense he's got an opening touchdown Duke not much hope now that fumble was not what they needed they're already losing big let's just hope they don't throw the tow in all together [Music] [Applause] [Music] and he hits the Pat and under three minutes to go in the first quarter the score Duke 48 Elon 14 [Applause] Duke lines up for the kickoff number five and number 27 back ready to return kicks it off number 27 takes it the 15 the last time they had the ball they gave it away the fumble the old ball coach was not too happy about that either I'd hate to see that if it happens again the ball here at the [Applause] 31 the Phoenix line up in an eye formation they'll throw on first down he's under some heat they'll drop him Frost down goes the quarterback now they got seven sacks man are they feted once the quarterback hikes the ball they're already in [Applause] one second and long coming up here ball the 22 and long 22 y they line up with trips to the left back to pass looking with the throw fall complete with that pressure he just couldn't do much with it his chance of accuracy on that throw was practically zero good job by the defense third and long ball on their own 22 they line up in the shotgun stepped up and he's going to be sacked for a loss now that's some heavy pressure it all starts with a battle up front I don't care how good your receivers are or how explosive your running backs are if you can't control the line of scrimmage then it's tough to move the football I agree coach and the thing is this quarterback can make some plays for you if you give him enough time back there to throw well it looks like he's going to have to figure out how to make plays without time yd they line up to putt this one away number 97 punt it and he didn't kick that ball well at all number 39 FS it at the 39 and now we'll see the offense come out on of the field for their next possession it's first and 10 ball on the 38 yd line Ace backfield there's a play fake throws this one out to the right poor pass and his tight end couldn't reach it 89 the intended receiver on the play [Applause] so it's second and 10 ball on the 38 y Nel [Applause] defense setting up the play action throws it to the outside got it and he's tackled great pass play this is the result they expect when they run this play it wouldn't surprise me if they run it again again and again right [Applause] [Music] here another trip to the Red Zone last time it resulted in a touchdown he's going right it's tip head up play at it down yeah and if you can't get to the quarterback or intercept the pass the next best thing is to get a hand up single set back field back he's looking go into the end zone and it's incomplete 2 the intended receiver on the the devil come out in the Ace formation steps up in the pocket throws to the middle touchdown Duke and he makes his second visit to the end zone with that catch well that was a great catch by the receiver he ran a perfect route to get open for his second score of the game [Music] [Applause] and he TS on the extra point and now we'll take a look at the Pontiac Drive summary [Music] and it looks like they're ready for the kickoff number five back deep to return kicks it off number 27 takes it at the 16 the defense did a nice job of shutting down this offense the last time they had the ball the offense was not clicking at all let's see if they're back on the same page they'll start this drive at the 28 yd line Y Elon comes to the line on the one man in the back field he steps up he's going left Echo now that was a good looking play the quarterback put it where the receiver could get it and now they have a first down what I like is the faith that this quarterback has in his receiver he he's not afraid to throw it downfield first and 10 ball in the 47 4 y number 15 back in the gut nice play fake row this one out to the left the ball is tipped fantastic play by the quarterback all you young defensive backs at home that is how you play defense so it's second and 10 ball on the 47 yd line and they have three bunes with the throw complete and he's taken down nice decision by the quarterback Not only was it good decisionmaking but the offensive line protected just long enough for him to find his Target and when you combine the two it'll be a first down nine out of 10 times first and 10 ball on the 34 yd line he Back Field setting up the play action wants to throw outside it's deflected good defense there guys I wonder if the quarterback was expecting to see man coverage there because he threw it right to the defense and that's what's so tough about playing against a Zone you think a guy's open and out of nowhere a Defender shows up just like that so it's second and 10 ball in 34 four wide he dropped it back and now he's going to improvise and he's tackled quarterback scramble gains three yards gain on the [Applause] play it's third down and seven to go this is the sixth play of this drive they'll work from the shotgun steps up looks he rolls out to the right the ball came free and I think one of the big guys fell on it for the defense not much hope now that fumble was not what they needed they're already losing big let's just hope they don't throw the towel in all together a long ways yet to go but at the end of one our score Duke 55 Elon 14 they'll go to work at the 35 the 35 yd line the dev line up to tight end play action throws this one out to the left incomplete over threw his man but boy did he have some heat on too much heat completing the pass is more important than throwing the ball 100 miles hour that's true he just needs to put a little bit more touch on that pass the Blue Devil come out in the Ace formation setting up the play action going deep got it he goes down I thought I was paying attention here but I looked up and pow the guy's got 100 yds receiving already when did that happen coach I'm wondering the same thing he's a great game out there today [Music] first and 10 ball in the [Music] [Applause] 33 the devil go with the eye formation hand off up the middle there's a Miss tackle the 10 he's all the way down to the four and that had big play written all over did it ever great looking run by the big guy you're right KK that was a huge play they're crowding the line they'll work the right side brought down a couple maybe three yds on that run three yd gain on the play the Blue Devil come to the line with their jumbo packing touchdown dke another touchdown why not this just goes to show you that there is more to playing defense and emotion you can't continuously play out of position like this you're going to find yourself in a lot of mismatches and today those mismatches have turned into touchdowns and he hits the Pat this drive summary is brought to you from our good friends at [Music] number 49 is lined up to kick this one off back deep to return and this one's a short kick number 27 Fields it at the 11 I'm sure the defense will be trying to St the ball once again if these kids start hanging out to the football they won't see another offensive series they might start putting in some of those defensive players that really want to play Bad it's first and 10 ball in the 31 and Elon lines up with three receivers he drops back throws off his back foot got it to his receiver I like the defense that was called they just didn't make the play on the ball you're right it wasn't necessarily bad defense the offense just executed and the result is a first down first and 10 B on their own 44 number 15 comes to the line with three wide back to Pat steps up in Pocket it's tipped and one of the biggest guys on the field is all alone the 10 touchdown how did he catch that ball he just stuck his big claw up there and caught it some of these linemen will surprise you with how athletic they are yep you got that right I've seen guys his size that run four 540s now granted they were from the speed state but I've seen it you and the speed State you just love those kids that played high school ball in Florida don't you come on Kirk it's a different breed of athlete down there you know that great and he t on the extra point [Music] looks like they're ready for the kick number 27 back deep to return he kicks it number five field it the [Applause] 13 let's watch the defense on how aggressive they are they were able to get a pick the last time and they're like a wild animal when they smell blood they go in for the kill take it easy coach you're getting excited hey that's right sweetheart I'm always excited the Phoenix line up in an eye formation nice play fake throws has his pullback and they make the stop so they get about four yards from play action four on the [Applause] play second and six ball on the 36 yd line the Phoenix come out in the a formation he steps up looking throws to the middle the pass was right there just couldn't be controlled just tied in some more passes in practice he needs all the help he can get it's third down and six to go ball on the 36 yd line six DBS in the lineup he drops back he's looking down the middle and now he's got rid to run and he's tackled fell as he's really out to an outstanding start in this football game hey if he continues at this pace he may throw for 500 yd I'll tell you what this guy is so much fun to watch when he gets into a rhythm like this first and 10 ball on the 45 high formation here they'll throw on first down look he unloads it and it's caught they'll wrestle him down in Back Field they get a one yd loss on that one one yard loss on the play it's second down and 11 to go and this is the fifth play of the current Drive the Phoenix with four receivers back to pass throw complete and down he goes madebe three yards that time on the pass yain the [Applause] so another third down upcoming for the offense number 14 four wide receivers drops back to pass and he's going to be sacked they get to the quarterback and end that play before even got started this young man didn't even have a chance to make something happen it's tough to find your receivers when the defense is in your face like that [Applause] four and N ball 44 yd they line up to putt this one away he punts this one high in the air number five signals forough catch and they make the fair catch at the 24 this is where I look for the defense to clamp down after some sloppy tackles in the last time they let this offense run all over them all the way to the end zone and I don't see that happening again they'll set up shot at the 24 line first and 10 the devil come out in the Ace formation pitches right he's on the Run little shake and bake move brought down that was a pretty good run incredible effort there running the football by this guy [Applause] first and 10 ball on the 40 yd [Applause] line number 12 with three wide receivers they go with a toss and now he's going to throw it comes up with a jump ball what a call by the head coach and it pays off big time with a huge pickup on the play [Music] it's first and 10 ball on the 31 yd line they come out in a Nick get the ball no they faked it throws he might have been looking to run and didn't secure the ball well sometimes you see young players do this this is something they have to work very hard to be able to overcome [Applause] it's second down and 10 to go ball in the [Applause] 31 number 12 comes to the line with three wide steps up he's going right got it he's all the way home touchdown guys this thing is getting out of hand and a total mismatch out these guys have scored about as many points as possible so far Hey listen up you guys somebody needs to throw a white got there because this one is getting [Applause] nasty and he hits the P this drive summary is brought to you from our good friend at Pontiac [Music] and it looks like they're ready for the kickoff number 27 back to return here's the kick number five Fields it at the 18 the offense comes back on the field hoping to build off their last drive so they had something going but were unable to get any points they'll get the ball here at the 22 the Phoenix line up

action he lobs it out to the left side and they hit him in the back field back to the line of scrimmage that's it no game on the Play It's second down and 10 to go ball on the 45 Elon sets up with four receivers he drops back short to off his hands and incomplete oh he could have had a big reception that time guys just let that one get away from his vision just for a llit second third and 10 this is the fifth play of this drive Elon comes to the line with three wide back to pass steps up on the pocket looking and it's knocked down the pass was knocked down this defense is very aggressive and they swarm to the football they're always making plays to disrupt the passing [Applause] game Phenix are lining up to punt it away number 97 punch it and he didn't kick that ball well at all number 38 calls for the fair catch not a lot of trouble scoring the last time they had the ball let's see if that passing game does the trick again they'll start this drive at the 33 yd line first and 10 the Blue Devil go with the formation they go with a pitch to the right across the middle finds his receiver he goes down I think we just witnessed how a trick plays run to Perfection and the defense is still trying to figure out what happened [Applause] first and 10 ball on the 42 yd line 42 [Applause] yd setting up the play action he's looking down the middle he's got his tight end nice decision by the quarterback Not only was it good decision-making but the offensive line protected just long enough for him to find his Target when you combine the two it'll be a first down nine out of 10 times it's first and 10 ball on the 24 yd [Applause] line the devil come out the shotgun there's a play fake throws this one out to the left tackle I like the defense that was called they just didn't make the play on the ball you're right it wasn't necessarily bad defense the offense just executed in the result the first down [Applause] looks like they'll try to power right into the heart of the defense end zone touchdown Duke guys this thing is getting out of hand yeah it's been a total mismatch out there these guys have scored about as many points as possible so far Hey listen up you guys somebody needs to throw a white flag out there but this one's getting nasty [Applause] and he TS on the extra point time to take a look at the drive summary it's brought to you by Pontiac fuel for the so [Music] [Applause] kick off 27 back deep to return he kicks it number 27 takes it the 16 so the offense take over and they'll try to figure out this defense as they forced them to punt the last time they had the [Applause] ball first and 10 ball on the 26 the Phoenix come out in the Ace formation he tosses it short and he overthrew his wide receiver I don't know too many seven foot guys playing football so maybe he should aim lower the next time so it's second and 10 ball on the 26 yd line single set back here back to P so he's going to run and the quarterback comes in and scoots up the fumble he might have a chance the five touchdown Blue Devil not much hope now that fumble was not what they needed they're already losing big let's just hope they don't throw the toal in all together [Music] [Applause] and he hits the P better than eight minutes remaining here in the second quarter and the score Duke 90 Elon [Music] 14 looks like they're ready for the kick 2 back deep to return kicks It Off number 27 Fields it at the 11 so the offense comes out after their last Drive had the ball end up in the defense's hands by way of a fumble they'll take over at the 29 29 yd the Phoenix with four receivers they'll throw on first down he's looking it falls incomplete he let his halfback too far on that throw this kid needs to and get the ball down where his receivers can catch it second and 10 ball in the 29 29 y number 14 with three wide receivers he drops back wants a throw outside C down move those sticks that's a first down and a great catch too did you see how he looked that one in oh there's no doubt about it he football it's first and 10 ball on the 40 y from the gun nice snap he's rolling right he's under pressure and they bring him down for a sack on the play the quarterback had nowhere to go and he's brought down for the sack they've got to do a better job up front with their pass protection if they don't start picking up everybody then quarterback is going to be pretty sore in the morning that's for sure second and long ball on the 47 yd line the Phoenix come out in the shotgun drop back of pass he steps up he's going to take off and down he goes he keeps it and maybe gets three yards yd gain on the play [Applause] it's third down at 14 to go ball in the 44 the Phoenix line up with three wide back to pass somehow get the ball away they'll bring him down they'll get a good chunk of yards on that play but they're still looking at fourth down maybe that will perk these guys up a bit and get them going on the next Drive the 36 yd l number 32 lines up as a single back Ace Back Field he drops back some pressure and they back him on fourth down the defense stopped him that fourth down play was very important as far as the Big Mo is concerned now they have momentum on their sight go for they'll set up shot at the 42 42 [Applause] y play action he'll dump this one off and it falls incomplete number 31 the intended receiver on the play [Applause] so it's second and 10 ball in the 422 y number 20 the lone back inside VI got an opening and he's taken down and that was a nice run Kirk that was a great job by that big offensive line yeah it really was Brad and also a nice read by the ball carrier to find that running one when you break one like that you got to give a lot of credit to the offensive line first and 10 ball on the [Applause] 39 number 12 comes to the line with three wide steps up he's going right and they could up on that one and he overthrew his wide receiver I don't know too many seven foot guys playing football so maybe he should aim lower the next time so it's second and 10 ball on the 39 yd line the devils line up in an eye formation a counter play and they make the stop a two- yd run by the halfback gain of two on the [Applause] play thir third and eight and this is the fifth play of the current Drive the Blue Devil go with the eye formation toss they'll bring him down they manage a few yards but they'll still be faced with a fourth down wow I'm not sure about that play call there Brad fourth and three ball on the 32 yd line they're going to try a long field goal here he gets it up and it falls short no good is no good they'll go to work at the 32 yd Line2 yd first and 10 number 14 to three wide receivers throws to the middle the ball is tipped fantastic play by the quarterback all you young defensive backs at home that is how you play defense second and 10 ball in the 32 32 y number 14 has four receivers lined up here nice play fake he's looking down the middle is it too high no he got it that was a big time play a new set of down I think the defense might have been thinking run there coach well I don't blame him it's pretty common to see a run on first and second down but this offense is keeping them guessing it's first and 10 ball in the 37 37 y the Phoenix line up with three receiver Bunch steps up in the pocket he'll dump this one off he might have a chance brought down another pass another completion and guys he's already got 300 yards you know he's on Pace to break some records what do you think Kirk might be too early to say but 300 yds in the first half is pretty [Applause] impressive first and 10 ball on the 21 yd line y Elon up with a shotgun set the snap goes to the back and he's taken down five yds with the carry 5 yd gain on the play it's second down and five to go this is the fifth play of this drive the last time they were in the Red Zone they got a down out of it he's looking for his man and it's caught wrestle him down in the back field they get a one yd loss on that play now it's third and Six coming up and this is the sixth play of the drive Elon comes out in the [Applause] shotgun and he stopped behind line excellent job by the defense to read the draw play yep the quarterback thought he could spread him out and find a hole for himself to run through but they were having none of that fourth and 13 ball 24 yd number 98 lined up for the field goal he's going to need some distance on this one it's up that field go is no good they'll get the ball here at the 24 24 yd line first and 10 number 12 is back in the gun he's

it perfectly on that play second and 10 ball on their own 37 3 yd number 14 with three wide receivers they'll drop him for a loss the quarterback draw not successful there nope and I'm going to tell you why this defense was not fool at all on that play it's third down and 11 to go ball on the 36 yd line the defense lines up with six DB looking they'll make the sack looks to have been shaken up a bit on that play well it doesn't look like it's too serious guys but you never know sometimes those small injuries turn in Seas ending ones Eli lining up the punt didn't get all of that one number 39 takes it at the 47 got an opening to the 20 to the 10 he returns it all the way to score how exciting is that let me tell you the thing that impressed me on that run back was his ability to recognize the hole and then the wickness that he had to get through the [Music] [Applause] opening and he TS on the extra point so with less than two to go in the second quarter our score is Duke 97 Elon 14 [Music] looks like they're ready for the number five back deep to return short kick he didn't get a hold of that one number 27 Fields it at the 13 at the point not a whole lot of success their last

to be sacked for a loss Elon calls a timeout the offense faces another third down as they line it up the Phoenix line up with three wide he dropped back looking across the middle it falls incomplete and he overthrew his wide receiver I don't know too many s foot guys playing football so maybe he should aim lower the next time the drive stalls and they'll have to punt it away it's a high kick and it holds up there number five signals for a fair Catch and now a slight break in the action as the offense comes out onto the field for their next possession they'll take over at the 17 yd [Applause] line they'll bring in their dime package back to Pat throws this one out to the right and he dropped it this incompletion is credited to the wide out absolutely the quarterback executed his end of the

back right now and coming in as fast as they can well in that case off to S the screen pass it thee let him get behind R kick off behind his blockers for six passing situation here on Third and long ball in their own 39 the Phoenix come out in the shotgun he drops back back wants to throw outside at the 40 inside the 30 to the 20 to the 10 and he's brought down that's just airing it out on third down that was more than enough to pick up the first down next time this def will be playing on their heels [Applause] nickel defense play action throw short complete that little play action good for about four yards the they've got about a 100 tight ends in there for this goal line play the simple hand off to the fullback got it done right there yo give it to the big bulldozer and get out of the way [Music] and he hits the pat so with just over 13 minutes remaining in the third quarter the score is Duke 97 Elon 21 [Music] [Applause] everyone's all lined up and ready for the kickoff is lined up for the kickoff number and this one short kick number 39 Fields it at the [Applause] 13 and now a slight break in the action as the offense comes out onto the field for their next possession

line number 12 comes to the line with three wide setting up the play action and they get the sack the blitz was the call but the D lineman was the one who made his way to the quarterback and he showed great quickness to get off the line into the back field this guy can move for a big fell [Applause] thir it's third down at 13 to go ball in the 32 n defense back to pass throws this one out to the right it's deflected I tell you what Kirk if that receiver doesn't get more aggressive this defense is going to be knocking the balls down all game long you're absolutely right that was a heads up play by the corner but it would have never happened if the receiver would have come back to the ball instead of waiting for it to fall into his lap the they line up to punt this one [Applause] away number 49 gets it off number 27 Fields it to the 37 thanks to some nice passing on the last Drive the offense was able to take it down the field for six and great play calling to help make that an easy Drive the question is can they do it again number 14 Lins up with the shotgun he steps up there he goes it's on the ground and the defense picks it up inside the 30 and he's taken down not much hope now that fumble was not what they needed they're already losing big let's just hope they don't throw the tow in all [Music] together excellent field position to start the drive the Blue Devil line up with two tight end comes across the middle and he over threw his wide receiver I don't know too many seven foot guys playing football so maybe he should aim lower the next time second and 10 ball on the 16 yd line their last Red Zone trip resulted in a touchdown I don't expect this one to be any different it's deflected defensive play by the corner the intended receiver on the third down and 10 coming up ball in the 16 nickel defense drop back to pass steps up he got to throw it in a hurry he throws it and they couldn't hook up on that one well again they can't hook up and it'll bring up fourth [Applause] down and 10 the 16 y they'll line it up for the field goal Hees it up and it's wide left no good is no good they'll take over at the 20 yd line Y the Phoenix come out in a bunch formation here's a pitch left side and he's drilled how about that that stop here the linebacker uses his feed to come up with a huge stop behind the line of sprm second and long ball in the 14 Phoenix line up with three receivers bunched he drops back [Applause] with the throw incomplete pass and he overthrew his wide receiver I don't know too many s foot guys played football so maybe he should aim lower the next time here's a third and long situation ball on their own 14 Elon comes to the line only one man in the back field back to pass he's looking down the middle someone got a hand on it the corner made a good play on the ball he sure did this kid is very ethic if he doesn't get a pick he does his best to knock the ball down and [Applause] long Elon lining up the punt number 97 punts it and he didn't get much distance on it number 39 Fields it the 41 so before the offense hits the let's take the time to let you know that our game is brought to you by EA [Applause] Sports and they'll look to capitalize on the good field position here first and 10 the defense lines up with six EB play action throw and it's caught and down he goes almost six yds on the play action gain of six on the [Applause] [Applause] play second and four coming up here ball on the 28 yd [Applause] line nickel defense he dropped back wants to throw a screen complete they'll drop him for a loss and they back up three yards on that play [Applause] it's third down and S to go ball on the 31 yd [Applause] line goes for the AAP here steps up in the pocket Ros this one out to the left and it's incomplete and he overthrew his wide receiver I don't know too many s foot guys playing football so maybe he should aim lower the next time on the 31 yd line number 14 comes in to kick the field goal and he's going to have to get a leg into this one the kick is up and he didn't get all it it falls short they'll start this drive at the 31 yd line 31 yd first Phoenix out the a formation back pass looking across the mid and if you're just joining us that last catch puts him over 200 yd receiving on the day you know the reason this guy having L of set is because of this second they've been playing very soft out there all game [Applause] long first and 10 ball on the 45 yd line Y six DBS in the lineup back to pass throws this one out to the right incomplete incomplete pass number 11 the intended receiver on the play so it's second and 10 ball on the 45 trips left nice play fake he's looking he passes it got it to the 10 touchdown Phoenix do they have that defense guessing now or what I mean did you see how well the quarterback hit the ball yeah some quarterbacks are just so good at selling the play action truly an overlooked skill you take my friend Kirk here for example he wasn't known for his speed but boy he could do a good play fake are you calling me slow this is coming from a guy whose nickname is based on his foot speed isn't that right scooter yeah left out sunshine it's Sunshine scooter [Applause] sweetheart and he TS on the extra point this drive summary is brought to you from our good friends at Pontiac [Music] Elon ready to kick this one off number four and number 39 set to return short kick he didn't get a hold that one number four takes it at the 16 what should we expect to see out of this offense now well the last time they had the football they had a great drive but they just missed the field goal I want to see if the defense has fixed the holes so they won't allow a big drive right here they'll get the ball here at the 32 yd line pickle defense on the ground with a t back he's into the open field and they make the Stop and the halfback ripped off a nice gain there to get him the first hey this kid's a goodlooking back let's see if they go to him [Music] [Applause] again it's first and 10 ball in the 43 the devil go with the eye formation they go with toss and that one goes for a big big down you know every time you run the ball successfully like that that defense starts to creep up a little bit that's when you go to the air my friend over to [Applause] top first and 10 ball on the 37 [Applause] number 12 three wide receivers get the ball another has it tackle way to look it in nice catch sure was he displayed some great hands there now we're looking at a first down [Applause] it's first and 10 they're in the Red Zone first and 10 ball at the 16 yd line High formation here he drops back he steps up throws down the middle and he can't hang on to it that time the white out just got too excited too quickly and forgot to catch the football Bo we continue to see this it looked like he was ready to celebrate before he caught it it's second down and 10 to go go this is the fifth play of this drive they come out with three wide receivers back to pass looks lets it go it falls incomplete couldn't complete that one to his halfback he just needed a little less air under it third and 10 and this is the sixth play of the drive they'll work from the shotgun drops back to pass Under Pressure throws it to the outside he let his wide receiver too far to the outside yeah he just had to string a little bit more [Applause] there and 10 16 they'll call on the field goal unit here he gets it up and he missed it the right kick is no good they'll go to work at the 20 at the 20 y first and 10 Elon sets up with four receivers steps up across the middle oh he could have had a big reception that time guys just let that one get away from his vision just for for a split second it's second down and 10 to go ball on the 20 the Phoenix come out in the shotgun steps up the rocket looking and they got him now that's some heavy pressure it all starts a battle up front I don't care how good your receivers are or how explosive your running backs are if you can't control the line of scrimmage then it's tough to move the football I agree coach and the thing is this quarterback can make some plays for you if you give him enough time back there to throw well it looks like he's going to have to figure out how to make plays without time he's looking lets it Fly and he can't make the catch dropped by the wide out four and 15 the 15 yd number 39 already made him pay with a punt run earlier get all of that one number 39 Fields the 38 and now we'll see the offense come out on of the field for their next possession they'll take over at the 34 first and 10 little hand off and he's taken down so the old counter gets two maybe three yards y gain on the [Applause] play it's second down and seven to go ball on the 31 yd line Duke comes to the line with three wide it's a bad snap and he's behind the line well folks we just saw what can happen if you don't pick up all your blocks man that was an ugly nightmare from the beginning third and 11 ball on the 35 yd line Y nickel defense he drops back looks he steps up he rolls left wants to throw outside got it and he's brought down so on third down they pick up the first and a lot more when that kid caught the ball he wasn't thinking about first down he was thinking down on the go on the go they're going to pick it big opening touchdown dke they get the short run for the touchdown yeah it was a short distance but he still had to work hard to get into the end zone [Music] [Applause] and he hits the pat let's take a glance now at the Pontiac Drive summary [Music] and it looks like they're ready for the kickoff number five back deep to return here's the kick number 27 takes it at the 14 you guys remember what offense did the last time they had the ball they have the ball before exactly it was three it out so fast they had to ask for slow moow replay to recap him they'll start this drive at the 29 yd line the Phoenix come out in the Ace formation back to pass over the middle batted ball almost intercepted he's lucky that pass fell innocently to the turf yep total coverage on that one got to pick his destinations [Applause] better it's second down and 10 to go ball on their own 29 one man field he's going to air it long and it's incomplete and the over threw is wide receiver I don't know too many seven foot guys playing football so maybe he should aim lower the next time third and 10 ball in the 29 yd line 29 y number 14 comes to the line with three wide looking down the middle got it to his receiver that's how you convert third down sweetheart that was a good looking play was the coach oh yeah this offensive coordinator must have seen something in the defense he really liked it's first and 10 ball right around Midfield three wide outs here drops back to pass he lets it Go and it's caught excellent open field tackle and fellas I got to say this has been a real treat to watch of of course unless you're the defense trying to stop him she could say that again that's over 500 yds passing on the day that's a tough pill for any defense to swall it's second and inches ball on the 39 ydd line Elon sets up in the eye floats this one right side and he can't hang on to it number5 the intended receiver on the play the offense faces another third down as they line it up nickel defense gets the ball no they faked it he's looking down middle got him on the Run number 11 makes the reception gain of 14 on the [Music] play it's first and 10 ball on the 25 yd line the Phoenix with four receivers they'll make the sack so the defensive end gets a big play there this is exactly what you want to create when you send the extra man like they did here that allowed the end to burst into the back field for a big [Applause] sack second and long and this is the eighth play of the drive the Phoenix line up with three wide he drops back rolling out the right side throws this one out to the right and we got an injured player on the field they've been two for two on third Downs of the drive they'll try to convert again here number 14 with three wide receivers under heavy he's going left got him again and that's a second time today these guys have been able to hook up for the score boy he really looks comfortable in that end zone doesn't he [Applause] [Applause] and he TS on the extra point here's the drive summary brought to you by P [Music] looks like they're ready for the [Music] kick kicks it off number 39 field to the [Applause] 18 passing wasn't much of a problem last time this offense had the ball as they were able to get it in for six they'll set up shop at the 32 32 [Applause] y he Back [Applause] Field nice fake throw out the middle bring him down nice pass there wasn't it Kirk yeah he's done a good job of finding the open man and route to a 300 yd [Applause] pass it's first and 10 ball in their own [Applause] 47 the offense better get that defensive tackle locked up he can make Play Short TOS complete they'll wrestle him down in the back field a y t one yd loss on the [Applause] play second and 11 ball on the 46 46 yd [Applause] line Duke goes with the AAP here steps up throws short and it's caught and he's tackled so they execute move a little closer to the sticks yeah competing those short passes is the key because it lulls the defense to sleep a little bit and you can launch one big one downfield for a big gain now it's third and Six coming up ball right around Midfield the Phoenix line up in a Nickelback steps up in the pocket he might not be able to get the pass off and down he go they get to the quarterback and end that play before it even got started this young man didn't even have a chance chance to make something happen it's tough to find your receivers when the defense is in your face like that four and 11 ball on the 46 yd L they line up to putt this one away number 49 punts it and he didn't get much distance on it number 27 calls for the fair catch so before the offense hits the field take the time to let you know that our game is brought to you by EA Sports they'll get the ball here at the 31 three wide outs here down the middle and they couldn't hook up on that one the quarterback had a tough time with a blitz on that one with this guy you can't let him stand back there and have too much time to throw the ball you've got to get a hand in his face second and 10 ball on their own 31 the Phoenix come out showing three wide back to pass he steps up he's looking they'll make the sack the quarterback had nowhere to go and he's brought down for the sack they've got to do a better job up front with their P protection if they don't start picking up everybody then this quarterback's going to be pretty sore in the morning that's for sure here's a third and long situation all on the 25 yd line sets up with four receivers looks throws it to the outside couldn't haul it in well the defense stood tall there well the defense did what they had to do to get three and out knock the offense back on the field four and long ball on the 25 yd line number 39 back to receive and you better believe this is the last guy they want to punt to didn't get all that number 39 fields at the 48 time once again for this offense to come back out and start another [Applause] Drive they're on the right side of the 50 they start this drive 10 three wide outs here he drops back looking he's looking down the middle and it falls incomplete he had his wide out but he couldn't hit him when he misses it's usually high and that's something he's
