first half and we are looking forward to we hope to be a very competitive second half Keely to kick it off for the Hornets no chance at a return here so the Spartans will have it on the Touchback Gloria we app there's no reason to do it again Pro to get me big carry here huge oh that's CH gets It Up near Midfield 27 yds on the carry I love what Chalk's been doing in the back field remember he's supposed to be the short yardage back he's the guy they put in for the short yardage plays but he's in the shotgun here got the big bodies moving around big 79 AP Pao good block on the outside make a guy Miss big game complete the pass it's Justin lockart and lockart has a first down for the Spartans 13 yds on the [Applause] play it seems like the B big gains and this is exactly where you want the Hornets on defense on their heels the run plays are working the pass plays are working they have no idea what's coming first and 10 for the Spartans play action and they get it to the tight end Jacob Stewart there is a flag down on the play [Applause] three plays three first downs on this drive Brown to throw it and that is incomplete looking for Jackson [Applause] [Music] Kanan CH with it and CH will pick up a few yards love to see those the problems from the first High snap there resulted in an interception coming another high snap and Tyler chin there down tonight looks like pressure's coming they bring the blitz Brown gets rid of it it's complete it's Nash makes the guy Miss and brought down just outside the 10 yd line 11 yd for Nick Nash and the Hornets are bringing pressure they're dialing it up look at all these white jerseys coming at Brown able to get it out to Nash nice job making a guy miss or breaking an arm tackle there add five receptions for 90 yds and a [Applause] touchdown Brown gets hit on the throw completes it touchdown Spartan guess who nickn in the midst of chaos and deliver a [Applause] strike extra point from Kyler howon is good so a perfect coordinator said hey why don't you stick with us throughout Spring ball and see what the spread and Shred is all about in the end he was convinced to stick around knew he would be a focal point in the offense and upon learning that Nash was going to stay here at SJ on the ground no place to go for Elijah taliver toer had a huge first [Applause] half go with the momentum keep it going second and 11 uh-oh Ball's on the ground recovered by the Spartans a Miss CU from the [Applause] Hornets Blitz is coming they pick it up now Brown gets absolutely hammered balls out who's got the football sack state gets it right back wow and this is all on Jabari Bates the run at least try to slow him down a step or two right back to the Hornet T toer so they exchange turnovers on backto back plays lots of back and forth on good football look both good football and at times seen yeah real sloppy it is a mixed B today for sure so far Kaden Bennett with time delivers and that's caught by Grover it's a nice very first and 10 for for the Hornets Blitz is coming Ben it's going to step up room to work with he just went by the Oliver and he's still working he's on his feet he's really close to the first down wow third and short Oh I thought for a moment he was going to be in the [Applause] shotgun decided they're going to go for up fourth maybe take a shot here and that's a nice lead block there but this time they pick up the blitz going down the field it's incomplete [Music] 217 second and 10 play action they set it up for GR the set up the screen incomplete Bennett was R take a beat T Oliver in motion Bennett in the shotgun third and 10 Blitz is coming Bennett up over the top sco's open bobles it can't come up with the catch a touchdown pass as well they keep it on the ground it's Jabari Bates and he's going to lose a few yards on the play nice Pursuit from the Hornets loss of two on the play throw the interception T toer has been a beast Brown has bounced back nicely after a tough first quarter and Nash has been exactly what we expected the goto star for the Spartans Brown gets rid of it going up the field almost picked off that's a dangerous play there Mitchell wolf is in there he wasn't a big guy but he may guys miss oh they keep it on the ground with Bates Bates good pickup on third down won't be enough to get a first down gain of six so the Spartans will be forced to punt and you have to wonder sometimes in these games Ari when there's so much back and forth you got to really lean double him Grover back Trent Carri zosa to punt for the Spartans Anderson Grover hoping for a chance at a return this is a big kick Grover fair catch at his own 20 yd line 43 yards on the punt [Applause] little more than seven minutes to go third quarter Bennett gives it to T toer and taliver gets a few blocks stays on his feet out of bounds around the 28 yd line now that a big guy a big guy was moving his dad's on the coaching staff T Oliver picks up the first down Oliver now over a 100 yards tonight hornet Bennett the throw Gibson the catch at the 40 flag is down he's brought down at the 47 yd line we have a flag on the play looks like it might have been 12 men on the field there for the Spartans guys running in and out let's take another look all these [Applause] set up the screen to tal holiver got some room to work with gets to the outside and tripped up at the 42 yd line 12 yds on the play that was a the Hornets borders is now in at running back to the left of Bennett then it quick release gadero makes the catch and he gets it to the 39 yd line seven yds on the reception for d Bennett feels the pressure escapes to his right going to go throw it down the field almost picked off there is a flag in the secondary at the 23 yd line he was looking for Jared Gibson and we've got an injured Spartan as well on the play but still not where it needs to be first and 10 for the Hornets Bennett going down the field Grover's open too much on the throw second and [Applause] 10 Bennett on time CS with the catch out of bounds near the 20 yd line they're going to Mark him out at the 21 eight yds on the play for Co these out routes these short and intermediate out routes for Kaden Bennett seem to be his sweet spot right now all right what do you think a t toer here twice to get the first down it's a third down it just seems that they have not been able to stop him when they've been in short yardage I feel like they haven't gone to T tuliver enough no they ran the option A couple of times as well with Kaden now toer is going to be split out alone to the left now he's going to come back to his quarterback then Bennett's going to keep it gets a block nice patience and Bennett still on his feet inside the 15 wow he showed great patience on that run yeah he's behind number 62 Riley watch that big body up front easy push out and you mentioned the patience there for Kaden Bennett first down Bennett pressure's coming he escapes it Bennett's still on his feet uh-oh Ball's out let's see red shirt freshman played in four games had two starts cockin first play is going to throw it and it was on target looking for Grover and when you've been sitting there all night to come in and make that good of a throw well done Carson yeah and your and your wide receiver really has got to help him out here it is a good throw from Concklin his first start last year Concklin against calp 313 yards and three touchdowns his guy can play I like what they see in him on third down molini the running back Conlin in a quarterback Blitz is coming Conklin with time throws it SC got it touchdown Hornets a flag is down kick is up and it is [Applause] good these two teams going back and forth throwing Haymakers it's an 11 play Drive they go 80 yds get field and it's Jabari Bates and Bates is going to go down at the 20 there is a flag down at the [Applause] 26 there's Ken Bennett looks like he's W by Nash and One by K impressive spr the L [Applause] CH will have it in no place to go wrapped up in the back field that's some terrific defense that's Derek Houston winning the one-on-one battles every time they got to give him a chance second long brown looking right and that is complete and it's Nash and Darius Walker on Q Nick Nash get by an experienced wide receiver Nash has now got seven catches 120 yards two receiving touchdowns and a touchdown pass you love that touchdown pass I loved it so sweet plus he told us it was going to happen that's a good throw there from Brown gets it out there on time that's Matthew Miss some time last year with a shoulder injury I've been told this injury that knocked him out of that lers has nothing to do with it he is planning on re-entering the game Brown downfield it's incomplete I sure thought Bennett was past the line of scrimmage keep it on the ground and they're going to pick up the first down Floyd chalk the fourth picks up five yard came in did a great job your team has been in situations like this how can you use the experience winning at Stanford last year to finish this game new team we got to we got to do it every year so a row having done in Stanford last year this team is good Brown and that is caught it was juggled and caught by Nick Nash ball comes out at the end of the play determin the runner's right elbow was down PR to the fumble far and they're still keeping him oneon-one on the outside just it seems like a Miss to me for the Hornets oh they hand it off but not fooled that time AIO Ben touchdowns and a touchdown pass keep feeding the Beast your Mountain West offensive player of the week certainly got to be a candidate here in week one mean incredible performance by number three second and long brown going deep lot of contact and here comes the flag you know I I'd like to get you guys get out on the field let let's put it to the test champ Bley and Darius Walker I feel like we both will pull a hamstring so fast Jabari Bates to the left of EMT Brown play action Brown going to the end zone catches may but believe he's out of bounds and he is that was Nick Nash again Caleb H Target for Nick Nash tonight second and [Applause] 10 Brown completes it Matthew Coleman with the catch he has enough for a Spartans first down gain of 11 it'll be first and goal from just outside the 9 yd line I think that's going to be there for the Spartans CU Patrick Dean is playing 10 yard off when you have corners on the outside play with all that cushion that five yd stop there talking to his offensive lineman first and [Applause] goal keep it on the ground Jabari bites but wow I thought the play was over and Bates just kept on churning those legs and he gets to the four yd line gain of five Gavin Davis Smith had a chance to get baits [Applause] down option play they pitch it to Chu and chocks in for six touchdown Spartans shock gets a touchdown Darius and that option play was run beautifully wonderful job by em Brown holding this he's going to look on the edge for 94 Ben AIO waited until he got close enough to him easy walk into the end zone nice read from em Brown and Matthew Coleman 14 the wide receiver did a nice job there as well man on the actionon the extra point is Michael Johnson return it from his own one yd line he's hit hard and the ball's out recovered by the Spartans that was a serious hit wow they're going to have to check on him he's the injured player right now Michael Johnson that was a violent Collision [Applause] wow all right let's take a break concern here
