everywhere you look for Tennessee sports number four baseball team with a big win over LSU last night Karen Weekley softball team ranked number four in the country last year Josh turbyville handling the kickoffs fourth in the SEC with a 72% Touchback rate and that one all the way to the goal line white team the offense orange team the defense and they'll trade possessions points not live 15-minute quarters in our first half and then a running clock in the third and fourth quarters so IAM malava under pressure and throws it away who was hurt against Virginia in the opener last year not playing today as a precautionary measure and the handoff here on second down goes to Deshawn Bishop the red shirt freshman diagnosing the defense having a chance to to make the line make the and he gets just a fourman rush the throw to the outside just past the original line of scrimmage and taken in by Chaz Nimrod the most effective way to communicate what they're doing I also think it's important too when you know you're dealing with a freshman back you don't want to put too much on his PL and also you want everybody on the same page and Josh hypo really pleased with the progress he's made in this spring feels the pressure gets it to the outside and it's Dayton Sneed who makes the [Music] catch Moore fakes the handoff fast ball to the 39 yd line and the first touch for Chris Brazzle the second you know play cornerback in this conference you got to be physical on the outside that was excellent Moore with a clean pocket and it's a little bit too tall defense shows Blitz off the edge flag it's a free play deep ball single coverage deep downfield and a little bit too much on it offside on the defense number 94 5yd penalty replay third down for Niko yam malava Blitz comes again after the penalty and on the handoff it is just enough for first down yardage there play and I heard that it chilled sent chills into my bones pressure coming check down throw great lines that coach Banks told us yesterday was that he craves violence from the linebacker position another good throw there over the middle so the second team unit working well here and a handoff on first down is bottled up and they're really looking for somebody to step up good pocket Ball lofted Deep near sideline and incomplete just a little bit too long they got him single coverage here again and they see an opening in the defense with the handoff it's a run short of the first down to coach the linebackers and says a spilman he's one of my favorite players to coach because i' never have to speed him up I only have to slow him down and again a great chance for him to compete for that backup roll behind Nico off sides and that blows the play dead yes a diminished crowd here today offside on the defense number 51 5yd penalty the results in a first down third down and 10 against a fourman rush great pocket here ball over the middle oh and it's just off the hands a little bit different than thoron who also goes about 65 66 and here he is wide open on the outside Gaston Moore at the helm here on this drive he looks for a quick throw across the middle has the completion to Midfield and a little bit of extra effort so far today though no scoring as Gaston Moore is at quarterback here to the second quarter and a toss over the middle it's Charlie Browder with the catch so more the red shirt senior zings that 35 yd line catch and another first down so third and one as they get the ball into the Red Zone and the hand off to wil does get them the first down in FBS as the offense goes to work here in the red zone and there's good blocking in front and we have our first touchdown down of the afternoon TouchDown for Dayton sne the red shirt freshman wide receiver and he puts the first six on the board on a 13 yd catch and scramble into the end zone heck of a job by seed on the outside you'll see the Freshman defensive back for rout come in there 26 the red shirt freshman from Memphis catch there by Jack Henry jacobe now to the opposite side and this is an interesting two the receivers I was just noticing that I mean they're they're splitting out well beyond the numbers as there's a deep shot down the field and a little bit too much contact ah I think you let that one go I'm a former defensive back by the way pass interference on the defense number 15 sort of now screens almost like designed runs Berlinger nice nice Wheels there getting outside the pocket there cling at 5 minutes to the half merklinger waits in the pocket and steps up to run again he's got some space to the 10 and he is in for the touchdown a 26 yd scramble he's a quarterback he talked about how highly rated he was out of high school but this is a guy who ran for 32 touchdowns as well so not just a pocket passer very mobile quarterback last year their kickoff man it was absolutely amazing like to see totality um to see H downtown Cleveland on the Great Lakes at the great lak Science Center with NASA and the stem and the kids there a couple weeks just like getting traded and not think you're going to get traded and trade deadline happening oh we got a big play going on okay what do you think about that play oh that's nice that's nice story man crazy Journey um throughout the year um but I'm thankful for it it makes me who I am oh how about that throw how about tell me about that throw from n there we go been we've been waiting to see something right there that was a great throw great Drive good to see good to see Nico lead the ball St for a touch I'll be excited to see that all for all this year I'm looking forward to it man um I've been a I've watched them for a far I played them last year when I was in Arizona and derel Sims who joined the staff on February 20th coaching the running backs and you'll learn more about those new additions to the staff coming up at the half listen to you obviously I wasn't playing quarterback and he is but now that it's his job as what a throw that is Moore lets it Fly and the timeout pays off because Mike Matthews number five wide receiver in the ESPN 300 takes it runs 63 yards and a touchdown with some time to spare and when we had a chance to to chat with Coach hpel this week he was raving about Mike Matthews and this a guy that really Pro probably could play defense you know you talk about the many ways in which making a jump to the SEC is difficult Max Gilbert with the extra point Billy AMC back in the lineup tonight been out for a while for first pitch he sees upon his return is lifted high and deep it's out of here Welcome Back Billy Amic mostly healthy mostly playing in this game as you mentioned the offensive line maybe down four starters potentially in this game so a lot of the backups playing against some of the starters you know obviously it's tough to lose a quarterback like Joe Milton but Nico steps in with all kinds of hike and I think he's got a really really good head on his shoulders this is third down and eight flag is thrown at the snap deep ball downfield a couple of strides clear it's brazzo to the 10 the five and that's a touchdown and you're going to have a flag on the defense that penalty is declined results to play as a touchdown playing inside versus outside's very similar no it's not it's it's much different and to be able to have that versatility about your Young quarterback man I mean he's he's like a receiver's dream you know he's through passer he can extend plays being a player and I can't imagine being a quarterback having to learn in offense and all these things so it's it's certainly a challenge [Music] in defense drops seven that's a first down throw a catch a run a little bit of nifty move in there from Dayton Sneed who's had a pretty good day on the outside and 11 carries for 24 yds a season ago long throw The Numbers One Missed tackle make it two and a third is what it takes to bring down Caleb web is what I expect is a draw I know what you do on Mad Chuck it and instead it ends up with a sack which of course quarterbacks can't be taken down in this game plus a by week in there it's going to be four straight home games all against SEC opponents and the last time that happened was taine in the SEC in 1947 and they left the league in 66 I mean it's going to be tough to start but if you can somehow get through that little bit of a gauntlet to to start the year you're going to have a chance [Music] [Music]
