00:09Welcome to Raymond James Stadium, the big pirate ship in Tampa, Florida.
00:15It's the Condors and the USF Bulls.
00:19Along with David Pollock and Jesse Palmer, I'm Reese Davis.
00:23Holly Rose, some interesting storylines setting up in this one.
00:27And USF made one of the most interesting hires in the coaching carousel.
00:31Brian Hartlein is a proven winner as a player and an assistant.
00:36Now he'll have an opportunity, first time as a head coach.
00:39We will see if he's able to get USF back on top. Guys?
00:43Holly, thank you. Can't wait to see how this one unfolds.
00:46He'll be brought down at the 22-yard line. Good coverage on that one.
00:51His return is stopped shorter than 25.
00:54The Bulls' offense will take the field first.
00:58But Jesse, it's always fun to see a guy who's been challenged, see if he can answer the bell and
01:03get things done.
01:04Well, we talked to him this week, and he knows that people are out there questioning him.
01:08And I think that leaves a big chip on his shoulder, David.
01:11He wants to prove to the entire college football world he's got what it takes to win this football game.
01:16This is a big test for him.
01:17And here's the thing. Proving it is one thing, Jesse. Like, but it's not about you.
01:21And this is a team game. Obviously, the quarterback position is so dependent on others' success.
01:27But play within yourself. Make those plays. Don't make the big mistakes.
01:32Gets it up to the 35-yard line before going out of bounds.
01:38Quarterbacks have a hard job. They've got to drop back and try to see the whole field and then see
01:42the rush coming to him.
01:43But you can tell he did a really good job scrambling outside the pocket, improvising, making the play with his
01:49feet, and then getting the first down.
01:51And this is a guy you want to feature if you're on an offense.
01:54He has so much ability at the running back position.
01:57There's a really nice game.
01:58He's just one of those guys, too, who gets better as the game goes on.
02:02So look for this offense to keep giving him the football.
02:06He's going to take off.
02:08They'll get him on the ground at the 46, and it'll be a first down.
02:13Second and short is a great situation to be in.
02:16And look at him. He drops back to pass the football.
02:19He doesn't have to throw the football.
02:20He wants to be aggressive, but he can just take off and scramble.
02:23Doesn't have to take a chance.
02:25Great being ahead of the sticks.
02:27You know, when you're running counter, those offensive linemen crashing down.
02:30They've got to be able to pin those interior D linemen.
02:33They couldn't get it done there.
02:34They gave up too much penetration, and that led to the tackle for loss.
02:39Looking for a huge play.
02:41And it's incomplete after taking a shot on second down.
02:45They're staring at third.
02:47Sometimes it takes quarterbacks a few plays to really get into the rhythm of the game and not force things.
02:53I think the quarterback that time was really trying to force the ball to his wide receiver.
02:58But it gets man coverage.
02:59There were other guys on that play that were open that could have had a chance.
03:03So the quarterback just needs to settle down a little bit.
03:05He won't be throwing as many incompletions.
03:07He just lets the coverage tell him where to go.
03:10And the Bulls will line up to punt it away.
03:13First punt of the day, and he'd love to lock them up close to their goal line.
03:19And the ball will bounce at the four and find its way into the end zone for a touchback.
03:24So the Condors offense gets to come out for its first possession of the game.
03:29And David, we'll see whether this running back has the ability to elevate his game and really become a star
03:35in this offense.
03:36Yeah, he's still developing.
03:38I think when you watch him, you say, I'm still learning the vision and how to play the running back
03:43spot.
03:43And I think you leave him, Jesse, going, I want a little bit more.
03:46I want more consistency, more big plays, so this offense can really take off.
03:50I think the coaching staff, I think the fans know for the future of this program, they need to upgrade
03:55up the position.
03:56They'll try to do that in recruiting toward the portal.
03:58But for right now, today, this guy has to be able to make plays when his opportunities show up.
04:06The defense wouldn't let him loose, and even though it's a completion, they lost yardage.
04:12Really good job by the defense, seeing it and going and getting it.
04:15Nice job understanding the touch pass.
04:17It could happen.
04:18Those guys go in motion, man.
04:19I've got to understand, safety's got to see that, start flying down, getting ready to play that.
04:24Nice job by the defense being ready for that play.
04:26That one could really put this drive into high gear as they have a first down at the 37.
04:33And it'll be the Condors come to the line with a new set of downs.
04:43Back to throw, it's right.
04:47Shakes off the defender.
04:50Pickup of five.
04:51Pickup of five.
04:51Pickup of five is now second and five.
04:53Well, the short passing game is a great go-to for any offensive coordinator in the first quarter because it's
04:59reliable,
04:59but it also allows you to see how the defense is going to react and play.
05:03So this can certainly open things up later on.
05:07Pulls it.
05:08Pulls it on the option.
05:09They'll run it.
05:11He goes down at the 47 after a five-yard pickup.
05:15The Condors are marching down the field.
05:26Gives it.
05:28And he stopped right there.
05:30No gain on the play.
05:32They got nothing on the last play.
05:34It's second and ten.
05:41Wide receiver going in motion.
05:47Only able to pick up a yard.
05:49It'll be third and nine.
05:52Third and long right here.
06:01From the gun.
06:02Wants to pass.
06:03Good job just to get rid of that one.
06:06It's so nice when you know it's third and long.
06:09You know a pass is coming.
06:10You worked on it all week.
06:12Get your feet set at the sticks.
06:14Understand that quarterback's got to be rushed.
06:16Get him off of his spot.
06:17Nice execution by this defense.
06:19Able to keep them from getting a return.
06:21And the ball goes out of bounds.
06:23They're going to mark it right around the 20.
06:25This USF offense will open this drive right here.
06:29So they start this drive from inside their own 20 at the 19-yard line.
06:34Can't get him to the ground.
06:36He's brought down at the 29 after a 10-yard game.
06:41And I like the thought process on offense here early in this game.
06:44They're giving their bell cow the ball early enough.
06:47And there are a lot of coaches that outthink themselves.
06:49And they think, you know, we're going to throw the ball to set up the run instead.
06:52Because everybody on defense knows our guy is the focal point.
06:56But this offense is just keeping it simple.
06:58Let's just give our best player the football early in this game.
07:00And let's just get him into a window.
07:02Man, what a job by the defense.
07:04Seeing the quarterback throw the football, break on the football.
07:07No space allowed.
07:09As soon as he catches it, defender meet ball carrier and gets him on the ground.
07:14Knocked down after getting six all the way out to the 34-yard line.
07:18It's got to feel good as an offense knowing that early in the drive, you can turn around, hand it
07:24off, get a push up front, and go get positive yardage.
07:28On play action.
07:30Their pass not closes.
07:32He got drilled trying to deliver it.
07:34And it'll bring up fourth down.
07:36The Bulls will call on their punt team.
07:39This will be the second time they've had to kick it away.
07:45Trying to get started.
07:48Everybody stays in their range well enough, and they stop him at the 31-yard line.
07:54And they'll get off one more play before the end of the quarter.
08:03Hand it to the back.
08:04A very short pickup there, and that'll be the final play of the first quarter.
08:29Still looking for our first score of the game as we start the second quarter.
08:35So second down here as we're back at it after the break.
08:42They'll move the wide receiver.
08:46Hard running there.
08:48And he's brought down after a short game.
08:56Third and five.
09:05Keeps it on the ground.
09:07He did everything he could to find enough running room, but he'll be stopped about three yards short of the
09:12first down marker.
09:13It's fourth down.
09:14And it'll be the Condors decide to punt it away.
09:18This will be the second time they've had to kick it away.
09:24Not a lot of room to make this catch.
09:27He only needs a sliver of Devon.
09:29They'll put that return to a stock with the 33, but the offense set up in pretty good field position.
09:35South Florida ready to send the offense back onto the field.
09:39They've sputtered a bit early, not being able to move the football, having to punt it away each of the
09:44first two times they had it.
09:46There he goes.
09:47Really good job by everybody there.
09:50Well blocked.
09:51Good run at a first down.
09:53And that is a gut punch for the defense.
09:56They literally ran the football right up the middle into the teeth of your unit, and almost nobody touched him
10:02until he was way down the field.
10:04We've got to do a better job getting off of blocks, getting to the football, making tackles.
10:10Good job running that route to get past the sticks because he got nothing after the catch.
10:16This first half of offense won't go on the highlight reel so far, but starting to get things moving, it's
10:22first and ten.
10:23Nowhere to go on that one.
10:25It'll bring up second and ten.
10:28Man, defense is about getting off the football.
10:30That defensive line can be disruptive and get in the backfield right away and mess up those pullers' actions on
10:37those counter plays.
10:38It can be really advantageous.
10:40Oh, he wants it all.
10:42And it's incomplete, going for the massive explosive play instead.
10:47They're looking at a third down.
10:49That's just a better job by the defender.
10:51He knew he was going to get challenged in this game.
10:54He knew these receivers had speed and they were going to test him.
10:56Nice job by that DB knocking it away.
10:59Move to his right.
11:02Fires on the move.
11:03And he gets it away.
11:05This is a point where you've just got to be able to focus.
11:08And the critical down and distances in this game, like that third down right there, when it's a good throw,
11:12you've got to make the catch.
11:14You've got to be able to make that play.
11:18They booted away on fourth down.
11:21And the ball comes to rest right there.
11:23And that is a huge play in terms of field position.
11:27Nice job by the punter.
11:29And how about the gunners getting downfield and down that ball?
11:35To the back.
11:37Surged ahead for a couple there.
11:39There it will be second and eight.
11:41It's only a two-yard gain on first down there for the offense.
11:44But they want to keep pounding and they want to keep getting this run going.
11:48They believe they can wear this defense down.
11:50And these two-yard gains, they think are going to turn into explosive plays the longer this game goes on.
12:04You know, I really like this QB running the football because I know he's got a lot of speed, but
12:09he's not the biggest guy in the world.
12:10So he's not going to be able to break a lot of tackles.
12:13You've really got to do a good job of trying to scheme ways to get him out in more space.
12:21The handoff.
12:23Nice pickup on the ground there.
12:26And they'll move the sticks with the first down.
12:28The Condors come to the line with a fresh set of downs.
12:35Tight end now in motion.
12:44They're going to ride this running back.
12:46They'll knock him down after a pickup of one to the 18.
12:50A lot of ground to cover and they need a chunk here on second down.
12:59Quarterback keep.
13:02Now they've got even more breathing room.
13:05Out to the 31 and a fresh set of downs.
13:08And it'll be the Condors pounded the rock to move the sticks.
13:12Now back to work.
13:16Out of the gun to give to the back.
13:19Found a little space and he's got four to the 35.
13:24Halfway there on first down and second and five.
13:31Just feeds the running back.
13:33He'll be brought down quickly after a very short game.
13:37With this offense we know they want to run the ball.
13:40The defense is ready for that.
13:41And they've been preparing for that all week long.
13:43Really nice job there in the front seven.
13:46Standing their ground.
13:47Fighting off the blocks.
13:48And limiting that carry to a small game.
13:51They'll make the stop about a yard short of the first down.
13:56We'll take a quick break here.
13:58Two minutes to play in the first half.
14:00The Condors will bring the punt team onto the field.
14:03He's going to try to flip the field with this one.
14:11Fields the punt.
14:13He gets a block.
14:15Really nice job all the way around.
14:17Got a few blocks.
14:18Made a couple of moves and a good return on that one before he's pushed out of bounds.
14:23The Bulls offense comes out ready to go to work.
14:26They've gotten very little done on their first three possessions.
14:29Hoping this one will be more productive.
14:34Out wide left to Totem.
14:37And he got five yards on the play.
14:39Second and five coming.
14:41Picked up five on that last pass play.
14:43Now it's second and five.
14:46Timed it perfectly to knock it free.
14:49And forces the third down.
14:50And that's your goal.
14:52Separate man from ball.
14:54Try to get your shoulder in there on the catch point.
14:56And really give him something to think about.
14:59Physically jar that football and knock it out.
15:01Nice job by the defender.
15:03Now moving to his right.
15:04Looking for anyone that's open.
15:07And they'll miss the connection here on third down.
15:10And third and short it's a great place to be for an offense.
15:14You've got the whole playbook available.
15:15And they choose to pass.
15:17The defense did a really good job playing the pass.
15:19And fourth down now.
15:20It's decision time for you.
15:22He gets it out to the 17.
15:24The cover unit right there to make the stop.
15:27Plenty of time to work.
15:28Not any time to waste.
15:30As they take over here in the final two minutes of the hat.
15:33Keeps it himself.
15:35Knocked down in the backfield.
15:37Two yards behind the line.
15:39The Wolves use their first time out.
15:42They'll get together to decide how to play this second down.
15:46Not what they had in mind to start this drive.
15:48Here comes second and 13.
15:52It's in the tight end in motion.
15:56Trying to get the corner.
15:58Pulls it again on the option.
16:00He's got enough.
16:01Here's a little room there.
16:03And he froze that defender.
16:05He thought he was going to pitch it.
16:06Kept it himself and turned it into a big play.
16:10Obviously didn't like what he saw in first down.
16:13And they used the time out.
16:15They'll have two left to work with before the half.
16:19He misses this man.
16:20The accuracy.
16:21Just not what it needed to be on that play.
16:24They don't need a bunch on second down.
16:31Keeps it on the option.
16:33Pretty good effort on that one.
16:35Trying to work his way up to the 42.
16:38Trying to save time on defense.
16:41They used their second time out.
16:43And they'll still have one in their pocket for what's left in this first half.
16:52Keeps it himself.
16:54Pull down there.
17:17They're about to run a dirty half dozen plays on this drive.
17:23But to the air.
17:24It's right.
17:28Here comes the heat.
17:30Makes the catch of the 20.
17:32Gets it all the way inside the 20-yard line to the 19 before being hauled down.
17:39Set up for the first down play.
17:40And they're going to call a timeout and talk it over instead.
17:44And they won't be able to stop the clock again for the remainder of this half.
17:48And it'll be the Condors have it with the first and ten.
17:53Presheta downs going up top.
17:55Under pressure.
17:57Got him for the sack.
17:59This defense turning up the intensity.
18:01That is an example of a defender just stepping up and making a play.
18:06Just gave up a big completion down the field.
18:08That's not going to happen again.
18:09That's not happening on my watch.
18:10Right away, that D-lineman decides to go after the key beat.
18:14And he makes a big play.
18:16The pass is incomplete.
18:17And the clock will stop with five seconds left.
18:20And it's third down.
18:22But they're going to go ahead and try the field goal and try to get points before the break.
18:31Nestle just inside that right upright.
18:34And that'll put the first points of the game on the board.
18:36It's three to nothing.
18:38They have so many more times we're going to say go for it.
18:41Be aggressive.
18:42Nice to have a guy you can depend on.
18:44And you know you're putting three on the board.
18:47Nice kick.
18:47Nice job.
18:48On the return, it's Branch.
18:51They finally make the stop.
18:53But that one will make those halftime stats look a little nicer as we head to the break.
18:58Halftime as both teams head into the locker room.
19:01We're looking forward to a terrific second half.
19:03But before that, let's check in with Kevin Conner.
19:05Ben, thanks.
19:07A busy day.
19:08So let's waste no time and get you updated on week three action around college football.
19:13We kick things off with Arkansas taking on the number three team, the Georgia Bulldogs.
19:20And it's the Razorbacks, eyeing a second win after the opening week loss.
19:26They're on top here in the first half.
19:29Here now some other games you may have interest in.
19:31Social media certainly does.
19:33Inside the Big Ten.
19:36Now back to your game at Raymond James Stadium.
19:39And a lot of coaches will say limiting the big plays and maybe hitting on a few yourself is key.
19:45But I'm more of a move to change, Scott.
19:48Give me efficiency every day of the week and twice on Saturday.
19:52The offensive unit that subscribes to the less is more philosophy might be the one that leaves here today with
19:59a big fat W.
20:01And with that, let's send it back to the guys inside Raymond James Stadium.
20:12All right, Kevin about ready to get things cranked back up here.
20:20He'll put total other and get this second half started.
20:30Out of the end zone.
20:33Tackle and brought down at the 16-yard line after the return.
20:39The Condors make their way onto the field to open this drive.
20:43They open this third quarter on top and they built the lead on the strength of that running game.
20:48And they made a huge statement too.
20:50Just proving to.
20:51And the quarterback goes down at the 11-yard line.
20:56Man, this is exactly what you needed to see from this defense to start the second half.
21:00If you're down, you've got to create some momentum.
21:03You've got to get your offense a little bit excited.
21:05Nice job creating the sack.
21:07Perfect start to the second half of this defense.
21:20The Condors trying to find their way forward after the big loss on the last play.
21:29Looking for a man.
21:30It's right.
21:31Unloads to the wideout.
21:33Oh, it's kicked off.
21:35Oh, that's not the way to start a drive.
21:48South Florida has it back and the Bulls' offense will return to the field.
21:52So the turnover sets up their first drive this second half and they'll have an opportunity to take the lead.
21:58Just too much mustard on that one.
22:00Can't miss the target that badly.
22:02I love the attitude by this team now.
22:04You've just got a critical takeaway.
22:06You've set up an amazing field position down in the red zone.
22:09Take a shot.
22:10Go right now.
22:11Throw it.
22:11Don't even wait.
22:12There's zero hesitation.
22:14Force the defense on the very first play of the drive to have to step up.
22:18And the defense did exactly that.
22:20If you're on offense here, I don't know.
22:21I'd just throw it again.
22:25A ton of ground to cover here on third and long.
22:32Off the bootleg.
22:33Wants to throw it.
22:35And that third down pass left a vapor trail, but it's incomplete.
22:38They'll send out the kicker to try to salvage this drive.
22:44Absolutely center cut.
22:46And the three ball gives us a tie.
22:49And that's a really good response by this defense.
22:52Their offense throws an interception.
22:54Puts them in bad field position.
22:56They respond with a stop.
22:58Force a field goal.
22:59Yeah, they got three points.
23:00But great job by this defense.
23:07And he'll return it and try to get behind his blockers.
23:10Didn't find any crease in that kickoff coverage.
23:13And he'll be stopped at the 17.
23:15The Condors make their way onto the field to open this drive.
23:20They haven't really been able to light up this scoreboard, but putting points up would be huge here.
23:27Didn't find a lot of room.
23:29Let's give him two out to the 20.
23:31After picking up a couple at second and eight.
23:40They give it back to him.
23:43Found a little bit of running room.
23:44Not down at the 24 after a pickup of four.
23:48And those plays from a defensive perspective, man, they're just super annoying.
23:52Because now I'm in the worst spot ever.
23:55Third and managing.
23:56Like, I don't know if you're passing, don't know if you're running.
23:58So, nice job by this offense, keeping this defense off balance and creating a third down opportunity that's in their
24:05favor.
24:05And it'll be the Condors have it with a first and ten.
24:17Going with the ground game left.
24:20All over him in the backfield.
24:22He'll lose three on the play.
24:24Couldn't get him blocked on that last one.
24:27And now it's second and 14.
24:30They'll go to the counterplay.
24:32Defense in the right spot.
24:34They stop him after a gain of two to the 28.
24:38Well, this offense continues to go back to the running game.
24:41But on that one, not a lot of place to go if you're the running back.
24:45The offensive line has got to do a better job getting some push and opening up some holes for this
24:51back.
24:51Going downfield for the big play.
24:54And that one's incomplete.
24:56They weren't just trying to move the chains.
24:58They were trying to move the scoreboard.
25:00Instead, it's fourth down.
25:02The Condors will punt this one away.
25:05Let's see if he can help the coverage team out with this one.
25:09On the return.
25:12He's got great speed.
25:13He was working his way toward midfield.
25:16But they'll stop him at the 46-yard line.
25:20This USF offense will open this drive right here.
25:23And points have been hard to come by in this one.
25:26They'll try to put together a drive.
25:29Pickup of eight.
25:30It's now second and two.
25:32Coaches always harp about staying ahead of the chains.
25:36And when you can run with that type of efficiency on first down, man, you are doing just that.
25:40Got eight on first down.
25:42Now looking at a second and two.
25:45The play fake.
25:46Oh, pressure's coming.
25:48Just a bit of a misfire there.
25:50They can't make the connection.
25:53And that was good defense again.
25:55And unfortunately, we've been saying that all game long.
25:58Really, really good defense.
26:00Or, listen, you can spin on the other side.
26:02This offense has really been bad.
26:05Bies time to his left.
26:08And the incomplete pass will bring up fourth down.
26:11And this offense stays aggressive.
26:13And they pass the football.
26:15I think you can always look back and say, third and short, I'd love for you to run it.
26:18Be the more physical team.
26:20But nice job sticking up and bowing their necks for this defense.
26:26The Condors make their way onto the field to open this drive.
26:30They weren't able to move it on their last possession.
26:33Ended up hunting it away.
26:34But now in a tight game, another opportunity for this offense.
26:38Didn't even get started.
26:40He'll be dropped for a loss of three.
26:43A negative play to open the drive.
26:45Let's see what they've got on second and 14.
26:51On the option.
26:53And they've got him for a safety.
26:55Well, he was trying his best to get out of the end zone.
26:58But the penetration up front is what got that safety for the defense.
27:01And shooting their gaps, winning the one-on-ones.
27:03There was nowhere for that guy to go.
27:16So after giving up the deuce on the safety,
27:18now they'll be able to kick it away without a rush from the 20.
27:23Trying to take him back.
27:31South Florida ready to send the offense back onto the field.
27:35Another opportunity here.
27:36They had to punt it on their last possession.
27:38But this time, tight game.
27:40Hoping to get something on the board.
27:42Really good job to pick up a chunk of yardage
27:45and get it out to the 39-yard line.
27:49First and 10.
27:52Here we go.
27:53Ready.
27:54Let's go.
27:55Sells to run.
27:56Looking to pass.
27:57Grabbed in the middle.
27:58It's Odom.
28:00Just gashing this defense.
28:01A big gainer to the 40-yard line.
28:09And the Bulls come to the line on the heels of that big pass play.
28:15Fake to the back.
28:16Wants to throw it.
28:19On the move.
28:21He'll pull it down and run.
28:23Nice run there.
28:24Picked up a few.
28:25And they'll force him out of bounds.
28:27And I think this is important for this defense.
28:29This will be a big key in the football game.
28:31Like, I got to limit the damage from that guy.
28:34Because that's a QB that's dynamic.
28:35And he can make so many big plays.
28:38I got to string him out.
28:39I got to make him get to the sideline.
28:40But I will say this.
28:41I do want to hit him at the end of the run.
28:42I don't want to let him out of bounds
28:44and let him get free carries.
28:45I want it to be physical.
28:47I like the thought process here by the offense here in the second half.
28:50Obviously, you've got the lead.
28:52Now, you want to grind the clock out, right?
28:54How do you do that?
28:55Well, you run the football.
28:56And they've been doing a good job of that here in the first drive of the second half.
29:01Letting this offensive line sort of take this thing over
29:04really put a lot of pressure on the defense.
29:14Well, you knew you were going to see it in this game.
29:17Throwing the go route to one of the fastest players in all of college football.
29:21This receiver strikes fear in the heart of every defense
29:24because he's got elite track speed.
29:28He's going to blow the combine up in the 40-yard dash because of his wheels.
29:33Here in the third quarter, you're seeing the defense
29:35and how much pride they take on being physical.
29:38It's not just stopping the run.
29:40Guys in the back end flying to the football in the air.
29:43Getting hits on guys, that time on the receiver, knocking it loose.
29:47And you want a touchdown and you want to be aggressive.
29:50But, man, right down the middle, that obviously gives me some confidence
29:53down the road that I can trust this guy.
30:06Fielded in the end zone.
30:07It's Kane.
30:08He's brought down at the 16.
30:10Would have been much better off to take the touchback.
30:13A lot of work to do as this drive will start from the 16-yard line.
30:20Off play action on first down.
30:23Got his man on the outside.
30:26Hit and brought down right at the line of scrimmage.
30:29Into the third quarter of this opening week of the season.
30:33It's now second and ten.
30:44Here's how the career starts.
30:46His first carry.
30:47Slams into the pile.
30:48He'll get one to the 17.
30:51And what a great job by the defense here.
30:53First down, second down.
30:54Two straight runs.
30:55They stuff both.
30:57And that was a big key for them coming into this game.
30:59They want to set up third and long situations.
31:01And now those edge rushers can pin their ears back to get after the quarterback.
31:06They can mix up and disguise their coverages on the back end.
31:09And hoping to create negative plays and takeaways.
31:20One final period to play.
31:22We'll see who can grab that W as we start the fourth.
31:29With the break, they had a little extra time to dial something up for this third down play.
31:37Looking to throw.
31:38It's right.
31:40Right side.
31:41It's Garrison.
31:42Breaks into the open.
31:43It's a game of first downs.
31:45And they've got one.
31:46Out to their own 37.
31:48They've got a first down here.
31:50What a start it's been to this season.
31:52We've got a great game here.
31:53Close ball game.
31:54Fourth quarter.
31:55Couldn't ask for anything more.
31:57Rush is on.
31:59Takes the easy one to the back.
32:01He'll go out of bounds right at the 40-yard line as this offense continues to show great patience.
32:07After the four-yard completion on first down, now it's second and six.
32:13From the gun.
32:14The ground game.
32:16Packled almost immediately.
32:17Not a whole lot on that one.
32:20As they come to the line on third and short from the 43,
32:23I wonder if they already know they'll go for it if they don't make it here.
32:28From the gun.
32:29Wants to pass.
32:30Pressure in his face and he lets it fly.
32:32And they can't make the play on third down.
32:35And it'll be the Condors will send out the punt unit.
32:39They may have to pay him overtime.
32:41He's punting for the fifth time today.
32:48And the ball hits at the three and gets into the end zone.
32:52It'll be a touchback.
32:54The Bulls offense comes out ready to go to work.
33:04They'll run the counter.
33:05They knock him down after a gain of three to the 23.
33:09At this point of the game, the offense has the lead.
33:12The offensive coordinator knows they want to keep running the football.
33:15So he's going back.
33:16He's looking at his playlist.
33:17And he's saying, which runs work the best for me?
33:19Let's it fly.
33:22Makes a deep grab.
33:25That's what's so scary about this offense.
33:27They've got guys in the perimeter that can change the game in one single play.
33:32And you saw it right there.
33:33Too much speed on the perimeter to create that explosive play.
33:38They just dialed up one big play.
33:40Let's see if they've got another one on first and 10 from the 35.
33:44Takes this handoff and headed to the right.
33:47Got the first down.
33:48That is just the kind of run you want when you're trying to close out a game.
33:54This offense has really done a nice job on the ground.
33:57Like, the ground game has been solid, man.
33:59Nice job opening holes, running the football.
34:02They've been consistent with the run.
34:04And as this game creeps along, right,
34:06if they can continue to do this with the lead,
34:09this is going to be a game that they're going to have in hand.
34:12Good timing on the quick out.
34:14They'll get it down to the eight-yard line on that throw and catch.
34:17And the defense is backed up against the wall.
34:21Going to work on second down in the red zone.
34:23There's still some ground to cover to pick up that first down.
34:26Ready, go!
34:27Off play action.
34:29Finds his big tight end.
34:31That throw and catch gets him down to the six,
34:34and the defense is running out of answers.
34:37They say tight ends are a quarterback's best friend in the pass game
34:40because think about it.
34:41The tight end's the guy lined up closest to the quarterback,
34:44which means generally those are the easiest throws a quarterback has.
34:48You saw it on that play.
34:51Power's inside.
34:52He'll be stopped short.
34:54It'll bring up fourth down as his defense makes a play.
34:59And his defense has got to be jacked up.
35:01And they've finally forced the fourth down, right?
35:03They've gotten a couple of first downs, got some things going,
35:06but I think it's decision time for this offense.
35:08And he's got to do it one more time, right?
35:10They've got to get another play.
35:12He caught it!
35:13He gets it in!
35:16Touchdown, USF!
35:18They tack a little more onto this lead,
35:20and they're on their way to a 3-0 start.
35:23I like the aggressive play calling by the offensive coordinator
35:26on that drive as well.
35:27There are a lot of coaches that would have played it very conservative,
35:30very close to the vest, run the ball,
35:32and punt it away, count on your defense, not this guy.
35:35He was going to take some shots,
35:36count on his own guys to get it done,
35:38and now with that touchdown late,
35:40they've got a two-possession lead.
35:52Here comes the two-point try.
35:58Looking for a man.
36:00It's Van Buren.
36:04I like it.
36:05Nice execution.
36:06Catch the football.
36:07Get it out of your hand.
36:08Nice rhythm, nice timing
36:09for that two-point conversion.
36:20He'll bring it out.
36:21It's Kane.
36:22I know he thinks he can house every return,
36:25but sometimes you just have to take a knee
36:27as he's stopped at the 14.
36:30The Condors make their way onto the field
36:32to open this drive.
36:34Time is running short.
36:35They've let this game get away from them a little bit.
36:38They must get something done here
36:40to have a chance to pull it out late.
36:42And that pass incomplete.
36:44The defense got a hand on it.
36:46Long way to go on second down.
36:52Pulls it on the option.
36:54Oh, he's got some space.
36:56That kind of play will get a drive started
36:58or help your field position.
36:59They've got it at the 27.
37:02The offense lining up for a first down play.
37:05Tight end in motion.
37:06See how the D reacts.
37:09He picks up maybe a couple
37:11before he's stopped right at the 30-yard line.
37:15The Condors want to move quickly.
37:17A nice job being gapped sound by this defense.
37:20And here you go.
37:20Watch what this offense does.
37:21They'll get right back on the ball
37:23and they'll go really quick,
37:24so you've got to be prepared.
37:25Good job to toss that ball out of bounds
37:28and avoid the loss.
37:29Now this offense facing a third and long
37:32from their own 30.
37:37Motion from the wideout.
37:43On third and long.
37:44Try to convert through the air.
37:48Intercepted.
37:48And the defense is setting him up.
37:50Touchdown balls.
37:52The defense putting points on the ball.
37:55Now leads a little more comfortable now
37:57as he goes in on a victory here in week three.
38:01And all this defense has done all game long
38:04is to be absolutely dominant.
38:07They have been shutting them out,
38:08whether they've tried running it,
38:09whether they've tried throwing it,
38:11they've been creating takeaways.
38:12When you get the pick six right there,
38:14you just can't say enough good things
38:16about how this defense is played today.
38:23They'll line up to go for two.
38:27Here we go.
38:29Ready.
38:29One, two, three, go, go!
38:31To the air.
38:32It's Van Buren.
38:33He's got it.
38:34Two-point try as good as they build on this lead.
38:38How about that for a momentum swing?
38:40Your defense gets the pick six.
38:41Offense comes right back on the field
38:43and they get the two-point conversion.
38:52Coming out with it, it's Kane.
38:55Rolling the dice to bring it out of the end zone
38:57did not work out as he stopped at the 13.
39:01The Condors make their way onto the field
39:04to open this drive.
39:05The big thing now,
39:07don't get rattled by that last pick six, David.
39:10Nah, it was a big mistake.
39:12Obviously, the defense took advantage of it,
39:14but you've got to put it behind you.
39:16Jesse, I'm sure you know a thing or two
39:17about throwing a quick six
39:18and how to rebound.
39:19I believe I've only thrown one in my life,
39:21but yes, I do because of that singular instance.
39:23I'll say this.
39:24You can't let that play beat you twice.
39:27You've got to go out
39:28and not try to get it all back here in one play.
39:30Just execute the offense.
39:32He's brought down quickly.
39:33Minimal gain there.
39:34Still a bit short of the first down.
39:39On third and long, he has to throw for it.
39:42Rush right in his face.
39:44And down he goes.
39:46The defense bringing the heat.
39:47They're going to go from their own side
39:50to the line quickly.
39:51A big play here.
39:54Got to make the play on fourth.
39:57Throws for the tight end.
39:59Just a Baristakoff-like move on the sideline
40:03to tap that toe and get the first down.
40:06Desperately wanted to keep the ball,
40:08but they did not.
40:12Play action on first down.
40:14Flush to the left.
40:16Left side is Isaac.
40:18The ball is down at the 14 after that grab.
40:22And that's a really good job by the quarterback, man.
40:24You run the play action.
40:25You want to take a shot.
40:26Nice job taking the check down.
40:29Running back does the rest
40:31and chews up some yardage.
40:38Smart move to keep it on the ground.
40:41He's tackled right at the 10-yard line,
40:43and they're trying to cash in on this drive.
40:50Solid run on the last place.
40:51Sets his offense up on first down.
40:54Good, ready.
40:55Good, ready.
40:57Looking downfield.
40:58It's Van Buren.
40:59Nice play by the defense to jar that one loose.
41:03And that's a good stop for this defense.
41:05And listen, there hasn't been a lot of positive today,
41:07but, like, let's finish this game strong.
41:09I think that'll be the message from the defensive coordinator.
41:11Can we get a stop?
41:12Can we get them off the field?
41:14And he's loose, and he'll take it to the house.
41:18Touchdown, South Florida.
41:20No step back in week three.
41:22They have been sharp as they extend the lead.
41:25Getting set for the point after.
41:28And the extra point will tack another one onto this lead.
41:32Quick work on that scoring drive.
41:33Just four plays.
41:35And the capper on that drive,
41:36the 10-yard touchdown run.
41:44Deep in the end zone, it's Kane.
41:46Just able to get out to the 18-yard line on the return
41:50before he's stopped.
41:52A little bit backed up to start this drive
41:54from their own 18-yard line.
41:56Wide receiver comes in motion.
42:00Looking for the edge.
42:03Give him a pickup of two.
42:04Now second and eight.
42:07Picked up two yards on that last one.
42:09They need eight on second down.
42:17Quarterback keep.
42:18And they get to him behind the line.
42:20It'll be a loss of two.
42:22You make up the game plan
42:24and not a lot on the play sheet for this.
42:26Third and long from inside their own 20.
42:28Black 18.
42:30Black 18.
42:33Again.
42:34He stopped right at the 22,
42:36and that'll bring us to fourth down.
42:39And, guys, hold that thought just a second
42:41because here comes the fourth down play.
42:43If they don't get it here,
42:44this one is probably over.
42:51Guys, this is a really good win
42:53for this ball club
42:54as they put together consecutive victories.
42:56And in this season,
42:57that's what you got to do.
42:58You got to put together good weeks,
43:00build on each other,
43:01build that momentum,
43:02continue to grow as the season goes.
43:04Yeah, David,
43:04it's all about building confidence,
43:06and it's really important
43:07for these players to go out,
43:08work hard in practice,
43:10and see that hard work
43:11really pay itself off on game day.
43:13This is a team that's really starting
43:15to believe in itself.
43:16That's going to do it for us
43:18as the season marches on.
43:20For David Pollack,
43:21Jesse Palmer, and Holly Rowe,
43:22I'm Rhys Davis.
43:23This has been a presentation
