1999 N C State vs South Carolina

valley north carolina a coaching icon returns to the sidelines on a mission to resurrect yet another dormant program from the depths of despair you can't play the game without getting dirty blueholes has made a career out of taking the seemingly impossible and making it somehow possible i'm going to tell you man we are going to be awesome the fans of south carolina wholeheartedly believe he should do it all over again you're going to love this i make that commitment to you back in the 70s he led nc state to four balls in four years holtz returns to the site of one of his very first reclamation projects the blue holes era at south carolina begins tonight as the gamecocks take on the 24th ranked nc state wolfpack hi everybody ron franklin welcome once again to espn primetime college football tonight from a very wet and windy raleigh north carolina as the remnants of what used to be hurricane dennis now tropical storm dennis passing through winds gusting 35 to 40 miles an hour rain is coming in sheets we could have a really interesting situation with this ball game tonight but it's the return of lou holtz to college football and i found out in this past week that when you ask somebody about lou they either like him a lot or they don't care for him but you always get a response everybody has an opinion on lou holt but particularly we have found out to find people from the state of south carolina they are totally in fact infatuated with this situation in fact lou hasn't even stepped on the field yet they have sold a record number of tickets they have donations coming in at a record pace but let me stop right there and say i'm not going to try to hype this situation to tell you that the second coming has occurred in columbia south carolina this is going to be a very high mountain to climb case in point tonight nc state here in raleigh a team fresh off an upset win on the road at texas last week and remember back in the 50s there was a song called three little words those three little words were i love you well when you coach in the sec east there are three little words and those three little words are florida tennessee and georgia and folks that doesn't mean i love you well that's part of the mountain that lou holtz has got to climb and he knows it anyway we're very pleased to be here and be a part of his return to college football tonight against north carolina state mike godfrey and adrian carstender standing by will be back from a wet rally right after this [Music] north carolina state takes the field and it's a very noisy house regardless of the elements tonight as they are fresh off an upset glitter for texas last week on the road and now they are back home to play host the lou holtz and the gamecocks of south carolina here are the weather conditions i mentioned just a moment ago in the open and they're not going to get any better wind gusting 30 to 40 miles an hour the forecast is for heavy rain for the remainder of the evening as dennis passes on through mike godfrey joins us on the telecast as usual and mike the question i want to know and people out there that i know lou holtz is good but how much of an impact can he have on a team that was one in 10 last year ron there's a lot of excitement in south carolina if lou hopes only improves his team in two areas they have a chance to win some games number one win the close games they lost four games by less than a touchdown last year also the turnover area don't turn the ball over last year they were 110 out of 112 college teams mike last week nc state played so they got a game under their belt south carolina did not play as we know but yet they came away with something being able to see the wolfpack didn't yeah south carolina learned a lot from the texas football game last week they learned that that north carolina state is very good in the special teams north carolina state blocked three punts north carolina state had an injury at center the center exchange you expect south carolina to put somebody on the center tonight get him on every play they also found that blitzes got to jamie barnett and the receivers couldn't get away from tight coverage so there's a lot of things that lou holtz and his staff picked up in that ball game last week third member on our team adrian carson down on the sideline adrian let's go to you he's with the new south carolina head coach blue holst run the final exhilarating moments before kickoff of any college football game is one of the elements that this man missed about being on the sidelines but coach holtz now the hype is over it's time to get down to business it is i this game's not about me this is about our football team and coming back from a bad year nc state has the disadvantage we all do of not having any idea what your offense is going to look like in this weather especially what can we expect to see well our plan was to go wide on them because they stuffed texas so strong inside we're just going to see what we're capable doing because we're outmanned outweighed in the line good luck coach and welcome back thank you okay adrian thank you and coach halst and uh we appreciate him taking time just before this opening kickoff as you look at mike cocaine seventh season at nc state what a win last week shocked a few people around the country as they went down to austin and handed texas a defeat with three blocked kicks and bringing 16 points their way off special teams north carolina state is going to receive south carolina will kick off and mike we talked about this and i ask you what given the opportunity if you won the toss which would you rather do i would rather kick the ball off and play defense and this wind is so heavy north carolina state's going to be on the spot right away of trying to get good field position one of the things we talk about wet we talk about rain and the casualties that it can cause and bring however any coach will tell you an even greater enemy is the wind and when you've got a combination of the wind and the rain tonight we could see some really funny bounces of the football front the wind affects your play calling because you have two quarters where you got to throw into a heavy wind you don't want to throw the long deep outs don't want to throw the ball deep over the middle [Music] spikes and robinson the two deep in [Applause] marcus mcvet has the ball teed up at the 35-yard line and the ball has just blown off the tee and i wondered if we were going to be able to get away with having that ball stay there without having to hold her but i would imagine but we'll see maybe it will stay as the wind is coming and going but when the gusts do come through people are tired in their rain gear tonight you can see the rain gear goes sideways even in the stands as it continues to blow off now they're going to have to have a holder yep they're going to have to bring uh somebody from the corner who will come in and that ron is usually a safety so that he once he holds he's gonna be a safety anyway on the kick team approach brown is the man who came up to become the holder and this will cover them before and now tries to get outside and uh [Applause] as we take a look at the starting lineups for the wolfpack of north carolina state you can see number four jamie barnett the senior from roxboro north carolina he's a four-year starter coming out robinson and derek roberts are behind him vanderbilt is the tight end and the receivers coleman and hamrick and they have their work tonight in concentration to hold on derrick green the man in the middle he is a freshman he gets the start at center this evening santos has moved to a starter at right guard it's [Music] [Applause] harney is the man who made the tackle as we look at the starters for the gamecocks on defense tonight overstreet caldwell pinkney is the man on the center's nose he'll be playing against that green freshman at derrick green i think he is very good in kalima edwards the linebackers very active group abraham is excellent hardy just made the tackle corey atkins is the other one and in the secondary if they have an achilles heel house and faison kind of unknown quantities in that defensive secondary brown and green are the safest this time from the shotgun barnett steps up he's going to run it and he is going to be belted back that's pouring atkins as those linebackers come out banging away ron this is the challenge you face into the wind now you must pick up a first down or you're going to give south carolina good field position on their first offensive try hamrick has checked into the lineup number 22 he is the senior out of shelby north carolina 6-2-198 we saw him a lot last week a third wide receiver in the game is corran robinson a freshman from belmont north carolina you cannot see him he is to the bottom of your screen toward the short side of the field quarterback draw gonna run it and barnett very safely not the first down but he has it to the 28 as anthony overstreet comes over to make the tackle and just as mike godfrey said now special teams time and the first thing we should mention the long snappers because we saw bad snaps on both sides during the warm-up because of the wind and the rain wind's going to affect the long snap so as you get the football scott earwood had a great ball game against texas last week the punter for north carolina state bull williams number four is the lone deep man for south carolina gets a good pass and the gamecocks have the return on not a particularly good kick because it bounds and is picked up at the 32. williams gets away at the 50 and he is inside the 45-yard line and the gamecocks take it over with very good field position a 39-yard kick and 23 on the return earwood made the tackle here are the starters for south carolina on offense [Applause] quarterback bill petty boiling spring south carolina boo williams and steve nixon behind him the tight end trey pennington very large fella at 260 pounds kelly and hood of the wide receivers and up front with the offensive line this really is a group of unknowns as far as how good and how quickly they will mess we'll keep a close eye on that offensive crush or south carolina in this opening wood williams came at the gibson makes the stop and here are those starters for the wolf pack they had an outstanding game last week out in austin johnson fisher nate goodson who just made the stop and brian james now the linebackers were everywhere smith they lost him for the year so sheldon key is now the starter in the middle lavar fisher and clayton white excellent linebackers and the all-american lloyd harrison number two those corners are very strong brian williams the free safety had an excellent game last week against texas as well play action petty rolls the pocket has the pass complete and there is the initial first down of the night by either team as lavar fisher made the tackle on jermaine kelley and good field positions allows you to make those kind of play calls bill petty very accurate on the first pass and ron north carolina state disadvantaged they watched old notre dame tapes when lou holtz was there connecticut tapes and skip hopes was the offensive coordinator and the south carolina tapes last year didn't know what to expect out of this offense two tight ends of the ball game for south carolina as trevon matthews number 86 comes into the lineup [Music] you see the blitz off the corner they go straight ahead with the handoff to me smith antonine smith a sophomore out of waterboro south carolina and labar fisher with his second tackle of the ball game this is a defense with very good linebackers key levar fisher clayton white number 15. we talked about losing edrick smith but they have depth at the linebacker position [Applause] second down the ball just outside the north carolina state 30-yard line no score we are about to have played the first five minutes of this very wet football game from raleigh who williams is tripped up and i'm not so sure that somebody didn't literally trip him up with a foot as he went through the hole clint johnson is the man who stopped him well boo williams the coaches when lou holtz came into south carolina they tried to move him to wide receiver he's got great hands caught 24 passes last year but they needed to keep him handbricked they threw off the team boo williams was starting tailback third down crowd comes to life many of them coming to their feet the line to make is the 23. the pitch to williams look at the defense by m.c state and that is brian williams the young man i said he had an outstanding game against texas last week he picks right up where he left off safety run he's an outstanding safety a southport started as a freshman brian jameson also makes the play and helps out [Applause] [Music] so the penetration and it is fourth down south carolina had problems in the field goal area last year four out of twelve so we're going to go for it rather than taking the chance of the long field goal which would be about 47 48 yards remember they have to take it to the 23. the line [Applause] and it's recovered by linebacker clayton white and it was brian james in number 20 do not need loose from the football and ron we talked about it the turnovers 110 out of 112 teams last year they had 15 passes intercepted and 25 bombs fumbles they [Music] left in his opening quarter espn's presentation of primetime college football is brought to you by isuzu we don't make cars because life is too big for cars and by fairfield inn by marriott where you can expect more we are back in raleigh and as you look at the south carolina bench mike my question to you we saw coach holt signaling for petty to come over to him what do you think that conversation was about i'm sure he's telling him put the ball up and give us a chance on fourth down to make a play well the best field position of the night for nc state here on their second possession got coleman wide open hits him at the 40 and the tackle made immediately by john abraham coleman i think could have and needs to have a big night tonight as you mentioned he got a little frustrated last week the texas secondary seemed to bother him and he is a kid who is capable of catching nine or ten balls over the course of a ball game and really causing some damage he needs corey corn robinson to come through on the other side to take a little pressure off of him because most teams are going to double him [Applause] the two catches last week 16 yards and is capable of averaging 16 yards per reception running play robinson nice defensive work knifing true was caldwell in [Applause] 96 cecil caldwell a senior out of newberry south carolina ron you're going to see derek green the freshman center they're going to try to give him some help early john fletcher the guard double teaming on cleveland pinkney trying to help the redshirt freshman out here a little bit give him some confidence his head coach had some good words about green he said physically he played it with boggy but mentally it was just beyond it because he's so fresh so young so new barnett with the shotgun they roll the pocket and pass overthrown looking for coleman you could see two defenders out there with him but that's jamie's fault it looked as though it slipped off his hands yeah in this kind of weather the ball's going to get wet it's going to slip out of the quarterback's hands but jamie barnett needs some confidence michael caine talking to him there hadn't didn't have a good game against texas was frustrated but uh expecting big things this week earwood his first punt 40 yards we found out they changed his steps 10 days before the texas game and he really adhered to it nicely not a particularly good kick but into this gusting win uh actually pretty respectable he did a good job on enron to get it off 32 yards on the kick will take a timeout still no score 7 38 left in this opening quarter look back up at the lights you can see that rain blowing through the lights mike south carolina came close on that last punt they had it had a very good shot chris coleman outside on the punt team needs to block the inside receiver but a great job by earwood he needs to block him he's got a further way to go to get the punt but look at the job scott earwood did let's moved up his sped up his steps punted the football saved a punt block well they said as i mentioned just before he kicked that 10 days before the texas game they changed him to a step and a half kicker and he adapted very nicely he liked it but he can get it away quickly high formation watson in the ball game didn't know if we would see him tonight or not that's going to be a loss of a yard derek is a freshman from williamston south carolina has had problems with a hamstring and lou holtz and his coaches really really like this young man ron mr football in south carolina had 88 touchdowns in his high school career so he's a pretty fair back south carolina working with the wind in this opening quarter they have about 708 left on the clock with which to work again an eye formation that's d smith at fullback he gets the kick out blocking here's watch 5 10 15 20 yards cut it off at about 28 29 yards in the carry as adrian wilson finally made the stop and he says round it off to 30. enron you and i were talking to the defensive coaches from north carolina state jeff snipe said he's the best high school running back i've ever seen they recruited him you can see him just he's benefits because he gets great blocks great hole gets in the secondary mike if he's been having problems with a hamstring on a night like tonight i'm sure he is going to have to be very careful ron you made an interesting point when you're an offensive coordinator and you know you've got two quarters with this win you want to make sure you put points on the board 643 left and that's going through lou holtz's mind so you've played more conservatively going into it you play more conservative going into it and you let it air out a little bit when you got it and it's back well south carolina had an opportunity a moment ago but following a loss they went for it on fourth down and they fumbled the ball but right now they have it first and ten at the 41 and a half yard line still no score first man through it's a full back knee smith with the hand on and he's still fighting his way down close to the 35 and now here comes a late flag i think that's going to be a personal foul on south carolina because i think a blocker came in late may have been scott brown number 50. steve shaw the referee tonight dead ball foul personal foul on the offense 15-yard penalty that's a deadpool foul so it's not going to come from the previous spot it'll come from the run which was good for about six yards so not quite as bad as it could have been second down here's the replay you're going to see a late hit right here yeah number 50. so scott brown the junior from jacksonville florida is the man who was flagged and now the rain coming about twice as hard as it has all night this is really a deal delay not much there for derrick watson jeff fisher on the tackle and let's check with mr kenny back in the studio all right ron we can't say fisher de berry didn't warn us wyoming putting up a good fight against the defending national champions aaron elling 52-yard field goal and wyoming leads tennessee 10-7 meantime colorado state leading colorado 14-0 in the return for gary barnett ron boy colorado state jumping out on colorado that pass is intercepted just stared him down and lloyd harrison the all-american can't do that on his side of the field actually on either one of those corners on two turnovers now to a team that's used to making turnovers beating themselves that's two turnovers in good field position carrie hood was the intended receiver lloyd harrison who says if i do my job i'll be at the jim thorpe bank with being honored as the defensive back of the year that's a good start for him well mike your point is well taken because that's twice that they have had the ball over midfield with the win under horrible conditions and they have turned it over twice one fumbled and now an interception 5 25 to play opening period straight up the middle robinson with an opening and robinson is going to take this one to around the 43 before kenneth harney stops in ron as a head coach when you take over a new job and you look at this 1998 13 fumbles 15 interceptions if you just talk talk to your team and say let's don't beat ourselves let the opponent beat us if they're going to beat us but not beat ourselves and that's what's frustrating to lou holtz lou letting the official know that he is right there but that was a good call on the camera it was late under five to play rob is a nice defensive stop at the line of scrimmage i mean he could go nowhere it's john abraham the senior out of timminsville south carolina coming from that outside linebacking spot he hit robinson before he really got started and the one thing about this south carolina defense they're good up front now they've got some players caldwell pinkney edwards abraham's now being moved to a linebacker position he's on the butkus award list seven quarterback sacks last year three wide receivers for nc state and they need to move the chains on third down the quick looking pass coleman did a good job defensively as harney makes still another tackle we have him unofficially for four tackles in this opening quarter ron now what's going to be important whether chris coleman learns from his last time out there and blocks the right man otherwise south carolina has a chance to block this punt if they so choose to do so let's keep an eye on the bottom of your screen because that's where they came from last time that's coleman right here at the end of the line of scrimmage 40 and 32 yards on his first two punts tonight for earwood hold up oh what a dandy kick into this win that is incredible all the way back to the 11 yard line a missed tackle and now here he goes out over the 40-yard line boo williams came very close to breaking it 45 yards and a kick which is virtually impossible into this win and a 30-yard return ron one thing when you do well in the first game in special teams the other team puts a target on your back so there is a commercial coming your way as we take a break with 311 left in the opening quarter and still no one on the score and mike got freddie 3 11 left in this opening quarter that's all they have left with the win and you look for south carolina to air it out here here's where ron i would expect a long pass in this next three minutes to try to take advantage of this wind so we'll see in fact the rain has lessened just a little bit the wind is still gusty and it is very strong at south carolina's back here comes the reverse hood back into the short side of the field cuts it back on a secondary that is very tough to outrun brian williams makes the stop and he is all the way down inside the 30 and it's a gain of 33 and that is as good as carrying it out that's as good as a long pass a reverse where you get a fast blowing defensive football team look at the linebackers move to the left carry hood off and running on the left side puts south carolina in great field position again you could see the veteran lloyd harrison hollering to the rest of the defense watch for the reverse because he saw his man vacate and head behind the running backs they come back to the open side of the field boo williams and that is a great open field by tony scott i'll tell you williams scott wilson and lloyd harrison i think they are a tremendous foursome excellent defensive backs and ron you talked about harrison saying it's a reverse reverse but when you get a team of blitzes as much as north carolina state they're blitzing all the time and you get that traffic caught up inside the reverse is a great call on a particularly on a field like this because those big guys in there they don't have the ability to be direct that's right can't redirect and on a night like tonight it's hard to redirect anyway we're glad to see this rain is subsiding some here's an option play this time to the open side boo williams tries to get a block from his full back and nixon gets taken out of the play and a check on the sideline with adrian karsten adrian ron honestly i don't know what's more difficult for the players to compete in 100 degree heat like we had last week in austin or in storm conditions like this i'm up underneath the north stands at carter findlay and i've discovered a live shot on a weather monitor i want to show you it will illustrate the fact that yes things have calmed down a little bit this is tropical tropical storm dennis about 300 miles in length we're right here you can see a little bit of a break in there maybe some more break come into the first half and then more storm to come down here athens georgia i'm going to go ahead and predict the fair skies for next saturday night's game now stay tuned for your local fans nice job with that south carolina had no retorts so they decided to call a timeout and we'll take it with them 121 left of the first quarter no score and south carolina is threatening and i mean that thing just took off on him hood is the guy he wanted now ron here's the problem you have another problem south carolina had last year they missed three field goals against vandy these are all four teams they lost by less than a touchdown they missed two field goals against kentucky one against marshall one against ole miss they were four out of 12 in field goals last year and as courtney levitt comes on in his career he is eight of 21. his longest is 47 and that came against vanderbilt ball is loose is picked up by levar fisher the linebacker number 44 and a flag is down at the line of scrimmage and i told you we're going to see some strange bounces of the football tonight it is so wet and so windy and they never were able to handle the snap and get it down sec officials tonight and they are discussing what the flag is and who has an option three turnovers for south carolina illegal formation on the offense that penalty has declined first time lamar fisher made the recovery and the ball is down at the 36-yard line i snapped never could get it down levitt started too soon white caused the fumble clayton white [Music] keith nag beholder [Applause] so nc state again in their own territory they go with the running play and trying to bounce it outside pinkney is there to make the tackle but robinson could not find much running room pga tour action tomorrow on espn2 final round of that two and a half million dollar air canada championship from vancouver the leader after three rounds is fred funk at 13 under bar coverage at three eastern tomorrow in the deuce for more live at espn.com part of the gold network go.com [Applause] robinson in motion flag is down that pass is underthrown two men moving at the same time for north carolina state so that's going to be a penalty on them where we're going with the golf tomorrow in vancouver that would work but this is not canadian football so you can only have one looked like coleman was trying to move at the same time there was motion to block abraham there's a motion man corn robinson going in motion and there's the also the motion by coleman well coleman could see that they were going to come off the corner with uh with abraham on a blitz he knew that was his assignment yeah 21 seconds left in his opening quarter but jamie barnett will be glad when this quarter's over put that wind at his back instead of in his face now the wind continues but the rain has picked up again now lou holtz may want to use a timeout here if they could stop him to make him punt into the win good point third down and they've got to take it they decline that penalty and it is out to the 46 they need to go to keep this drive alive barnett sets deep in the pocket flag comes down that's going to be holding and barnett is tackled at the 40-yard line and a time-out being called by south carolina tennessee having a tough time there's appalachian state rana talked about appalachian state had 10 defensive starters back auburn has trouble on offense everything was right there tough ball game dennis erickson is down 27-7 in their opening ball again clemson having trouble with marshall that's no surprise marshall one of the better one double a right outstanding team division one during the mid-american chad pennington as good at quarterback as there is this year in college football lou holtz took a timeout he's going to force the punt into the wind this is a fourth time three and out for nc state 12 ticks left on that clock well jamie barnett brown when you look at his statistics he's passed for more than 200 yards and 21 of his 30 starts had a bad game against texas when i say a bad game bad offensive game their offensive team just has not begun to click yet they're having problems in the offensive line torrey holtz going into wide receiver wet field tonight they're not running the ball very well [Music] they were going to throw some some simpler passes tonight quick screens the quick screens uh you know get coleman coming in on the slips they had just a moment ago but uh anyway it is uh it has not been the thing of beauty the offense in the first five quarters for them this year let's see if south carolina tries to go after chris coleman again with two on the outside here and put a little pressure on scott earwood williams is the deep man as you look at earwood waiting for this snap back at the 25-yard line two games he's the most valuable player so far for nc state he really was last week and it has been here tonight as well it's a good pass and again south carolina with a return wobbly spiral but it bounces away from williams and this is going to go out of bounds at the 23. ron another another nice job by scott earwood because he kicked away from boo williams so just a marvelous punting job yards on that kick and now four seconds that's what south carolina has left in this quarter to have the wind and rain at their back [Applause] teddy high school option quarterback 4-5 speed [Applause] play action wanted to go on time the pressure was there oh my goodness what a hit and coming up out of the secondary brian williams and i'll tell you if you're going to catch a pass or run the football against this secondary you better wait and button your chin strap that's the end of the first quarter no score we'll be back with the second 15 minutes after this time up in the raptors and because of the wind and rain hard to see him up there he is the offensive coordinator an assistant to the head coach and he gave up a lucrative situation as the head coach at uconn and had done an outstanding job really did a good job at uconn and he wanted to be with his dad [Applause] inside handoff white was there to spoil the play tries to bounce it outside and a flag is down at the 20 as watson is tackled finally by wilson but it was clayton white who came in got by his man and just disrupted the timing of everything [Applause] mistakes again by south carolina penalties turnovers and i don't care what kind of plays skip holtz calls if you have these things happen to you you're just always digging out of the world on the offense the penalty has declined standing on the sideline talking to his head coach as this probably is going to be declined and he will bring in the play from the sideline that's interesting ron because they they lost three yards so they probably figure with the loss let's spend it down make it third down let's get the football back well the stats in the first quarter you can see the total yards heavily in favor of south carolina but they had the wind within the entire quarter pressure is on he is hit ball is loose that is alive it is recovered at the 10-yard line by nc state as jameson makes the recovery brian jameson's having a big ball game here in the first half he's been all over the football field he makes the hit another turnover by south carolina [Applause] [Music] no i think that was eternal fumble by kenny [Music] [Applause] well as we mentioned off the top of the telecast we might see some strange things tonight but that's how bad the conditions are blitz coming up the middle robinson hit behind the line of scrimmage by pinkney and there's nothing there [Music] well mike if they go for a field goal if they're not able to get it into the end zone here ken passingham does not have a career field goal he didn't try one last week so you know it's one of those things where there are still many many questions to be answered by both of these football teams for their head coaches ron this is where jamie barnett's senior leadership has to come through here houston get his team in the end zone second down at about 11 and now barnett wants to call timeout south carolina's up and applauding because they had confused him with their look we'll take the break 34 remaining until halftime and still no score espn's presentation of prime time college football is brought to you by the all-new 2000 lesabre by buick re-engineered to be safer than ever and by lowe's home improvement warehouse when it comes to home improvement lowe's knows we are back in raleigh and michael what do you look for here ron ryan hambrick is six foot three number 22 like the fade down here to ryan hamrick now let's see as he breaks the huddle he is to the top of your screen and that is the open side of the field shotgun for barnett only a three-man rush gets his pass away and it's hammering that they went for but he was unable to hold on and let's check in with brian kenny brian all right ron start off wyoming in tennessee wyoming had the lead in this game you might remember but t martin taking care of that puts this up in the air to cedric wilson oh he's got a 55 yards for the touchdown 21-10 the defending national champions meantime wow at mile high colorado state leading colorado 28 to nothing mcdougal already over 100 yards [Music] i'll tell you what brian gary barnett is not surprised because he was at colorado before and he knows how good the rams can be third down and now the rain is really coming down hard they go with the running play robinson big opening in the middle he's down to the four and a half yard line atkins put a stop on him passing him is coming into the ball game we did a thursday night game last year where he was down on the depth chart he did not have his name on his jersey and he came in and booted about three quick field goals so they ran for the letters hamrick is the guy who's holding and this ball is going to be spotted down on the left hash mark folks it is raining like you cannot believe we can hardly see the stands across the way this will be difficult it's a good pass ball is down the kick is up and he got it and i'll tell you right now three points in this weather may seem like 14 or 21. anytime you can score in this kind of weather you put the other team on the defensive they've got to move the football passing him with a big play we'll take a time out our new scores north carolina state three south carolina about how hearty these fans are this is the hill to the south end zone of people sitting and standing out in this unbelievable weather and i'll say that they are some hearty and faithful fans to nc state they are all in that end zone and these are some i'll tell you the ducks and geese won't be out tonight this is this is a rough night those guys they're having them they're having a great time we've only seen adrian once more to kick it off for nc state they've gone on top three to nothing passing ham with his first career field goal and this is fumbles the ball that did not go on the sidelines so it's still alive and he is going to be tackled as he crosses the 15. mike if that thing had gone out of bounds at the seven yard line and they had to start there disaster on the brink they're in trouble enough where they're at now looking into the wind and you see he can't hold on to that wind and rain blowing right into his face it was close to the line wow good no call by the official he was right there and could see that he didn't go out of bounds so the gamecocks will scrimmage from their 16 and a half yard line [Applause] watson not much there scott coming up from the secondary tony scott a senior out of lawndale north carolina and has been well documented those two corners started as freshmen just as the two safeties williams and wilson did last year ron an unbalanced line by lou host just two linemen over here everybody else on the other side again trying to show north carolina state in the first game a lot of things they haven't seen before they didn't know what to expect from south carolina that they've adjusted [Applause] second down play action teddy running for his life and he is going to be hit from the bottom and also the top dips in the first man along with white let's check in with adrian carson adrian in a conversation listening to phil petty last night he described the fact yes i've got college football playing experience but i've never started a game until tonight what he misses here ron in summer ball even in two a days is the real speed that he's seen tonight from nc state he considers himself a perfectionist self-described and granted the elements aren't helping him but when all you do is stutt up and you're in shorts and shoulder pads and just hitting blocking dummies you don't see the same kind of look he's getting from nc state you don't get the speed of the college football game well this crowd is wanting blood third down at about 11 as petty delivers the ball and it is knocked away and here comes the flag kelly the intended receiver and that's going to be on lloyd harrison [Music] lloyd's gonna not gonna like that call lloyd had seven interceptions last year and uh with dre blind poindexter gone he's the air apparent to be the best back defensive back in the acc passing appearance on the defense penalizes the spot of the foul automatic first down keeps the drive alive for south carolina phil petty rolling out to the right expected blitz camille kelly the receiver lloyd harrison over the back a little bit too soon [Applause] so a new set of downs and they do fail out south carolina somewhat that was a third down and 11 for an asterisk [Music] [Applause] running play this time it's brewer and he breaks it out out over the 35 to around the 37 as harrison comes from his cornerback spot and a gain of about eight yards well adrian was talking about phil petty he started last year at 55 out of 112 completion 642 yards but the timing has been disrupted tonight because of the nc state defense they get after petty cause the fumble there pull his arm away from the football caused the interception right here get him rolling to the right interception by lloyd harrison so a very active nc state defense wayne comes down harder and harder ball is on the ground and very lucky to recover his own fumble phil petty the sophomore at a boarding screen south carolina almost think that he saw the blitz come in there and pulled out a little bit too soon he saw north carolina stayed coming he tried to cheat a little bit to get out away from the center just pulled out a little too soon lnc state was all over that one and now it is going to be third down and they need to take this ball out to the 39-yard line to keep the drive going three to nothing nc state 110 to play in the first half don't forget nc state would like to force a punt here if they block punch pretty well here comes the blitz off the corner kenny is going to be hit and he is sacked by corey lyons the third time that nc state has gotten to him tonight now terrence holt time here for nc state number nine he's predicted to his teammates last week that he would block the last punt pressure from the outside before he lions with the sack mike would you have a return on here or would you come after him do anything scares me about trying to block the kick is sliding into the kicker a little bit right here so i think i'd return this one coming harder and harder at carter [Music] findlay i don't see how you can see the snap they come after him and this is a marvelous kick coleman runs away from it but i think he lost it and the ball rolls dead at the 30-yard line that is a 45-yard kick and that is one heck of an effort in this weather and you know this punt team of south carolina the coaching staff john fabrice is the special teams coach he got their attention all week terence holt number nine coming from the outside robinson block the inside guy let the personal protector block the outside mike there is a flag down and at the 25-yard line we're gonna make him come back again and punt it again [Applause] so this is two penalties that bring first downs to the gamecocks and really continue to bail them out of a tough spot iran those are two big penalties that keep drives alive personal foul on north carolina state and it just keeps raining i'm telling you this is just it does look like the remnants of of a hurricane a tropical depression tropical storm which it has now turned into and is headed in this direction and those pictures actually to be here and see it you can't believe there's no lightning so these kids are safe but just deplorable conditions as far as being able to hold on bounces off one type of brewer and he'll take it straight ahead and brewer with fresh legs has come into the game and had a couple of nice runs they got some good young backs brewers of freshman derrick watson a freshman boo williams a senior that they tried to move to wide receiver in the spring so they've got a collection of backs that they can keep a healthy back and and as you say fresh legs coming at nc state all the time so the situation we have just gone under eight minutes remaining until halftime and it is second down a two second time that brewer has come up with an eight-yard gain on first down [Applause] wolfpack leading by a field goal straight ahead with the fullback knee smith hit by goodson and he didn't get the first down now it's third down when i watched goodson play last week against texas he's very quick six foot three 267 pounds southport very difficult to block and they move him a lot ron they'll slant him one side or the other very difficult guy to block from roxboro north carolina same city that his quarterback jamie barnett is from jamie barnett said five no seven stoplights they added two last year small town third down they need to take this thing to the 50-yard line straight ahead and i think he's going to have it on a second effort and lean nixon fell forward at right tackle behind the blocking of paige and philip jones and south carolina is going to hold on to the football no it's fourth down ron they i saw when the spot came in from the side whoa that uh they spotted it he did not make it well mike i was looking through the glasses look down his knee mustered now they're moving the ball on windshield wipers right now yeah now they have moved the ball way back now they're going to measure yeah because they need windshield wipers i spent a lot of money for these glasses neither my eyes are gone i'll tell you what let me have them i'm gonna throw them out of the press please don't do that one day cost about two dogs two bucks oh my god look down there and i saw where the ball was you said it's four thousand wait a minute i'm losing it here it is fourth down they're still making it fourth down south carolina taking the time out gonna have to because as he ran to the sidelines as he ran to the sideline the 25 second clock had already come down to around 12. and will take the break with him 6 13 left until halftime nc state three to nothing and these people are still here and they're holding up banners and i don't know if they're going to be here in the sun right there's your glasses that uh you thought they had a first down south carolina's going to wind up punting the football and it looked as though he had picked it up obviously his knee touched down before he crossed the line to make it to 50. second punt by the gamecocks tonight courtney levitt the punt and coleman is the man who's backing off the side of his foot but takes the south carolina bounce to the 18. that 32 but coming up thursday night on espn new head coach rick newheisel leads the washington huskies into provo to face quarterback kevin federick and the byu cougars coverage begins 7 30 eastern with college game night presented by gateway for more log onto espn.com part of the go network go.com ron franklin mike godfrey and adrian carson coming to you from a very soggy raleigh north carolina this rain is the tropical storm comes through tonight dumping a lot of water here in raleigh run eric lee can tailback now he made some things happen at the texas game he's a guy who has fun with the game had a great scrimmage up here three weeks ago and they're just gonna see what he can do and right now can do nothing as defensively and harney are in the backfield with that much penetration hard to make plus yard yeah cleveland pinkney's having his way with derrick green the redshirt freshman center he played two seasons in junior college and in the junior college league they compared him to cortez kennedy so that's pretty good comparison one of the things also that you get with a young man like leak moving him from wide receiver he catches the ball well so to circle him out anyway just to get his hands on the football and working against the linebacker can be a good combination for nc state without a doubt [Music] [Applause] bounces this one out across the 10 and he's down to the 13. and brian kenny let's check with you again all right thank you around western michigan in florida gary darnell head coach for western michigan former defensive coordinator at florida putting up a good fight here but doug johnson hits alex willis willis nice moves he's going in for the touchdown right now 38-26 florida up on top ron [Music] a lot of people said that florida was going to have to outscore people because they might give up some points this year a little surprised to 26 on the board western michigan is picked to win their division in the mid-american so a pretty good football team but not that good they roll the pocket barnett throws that one high and a chancy pass to coryn robinson off his fingertips boy that thing's picked off it's in the end zone again pinkney was after jamie barnett they're going to have to find a way to slow pinkney down at that nose guard position [Applause] right now south carolina's winning the field position battle they really are and into a win as we mentioned that is gusting over 30 miles an hour earwood this is the fifth hunt for him tonight [Applause] andover in away from williams and good heavens this thing is going to roll all the way down to the 32 over ran it and just as he picked it up levar fisher on the special teams is down to make the stop it's a 55-yard kick at only two on the return he does a nice job of directional punting he punts away from boo williams and he does an excellent job of placing the football [Applause] now watching mike he starts to pick this thing up and it is hard to pick up because the ground is so wet and every football regardless of how dry they try to keep it is wet [Music] [Applause] [Music] d smith and boo williams the two setbacks and then back in the slot to the left is bull williams he comes over to pick up the blitzing linebacker pass got a man wide open that's knee smith cuts it back into the middle and white will finally make the stop lions is there the ball comes loose but play is dead south carolina football after a gain of 49. ron what lou holtz did there at skip holtz on the play call they put anton nesmith number 40 is going to be on a linebacker so he's he's over here facing the linebacker number 35. william pennell and a mismatch for south carolina excellent play call [Applause] you get some spots in the ball game where you line up in different formations and you get a linebacker on the back nestman's going to win that every time under four minutes left until halftime that's pulled in motion they go with the running play boo williams puts the head down and he will barrel inside the 15 as brian jameson makes the tackle adrian what do you have for us partner ryan let's talk about the win first throughout the second half the team that's going to have the disadvantage is the team moving from your right to left that 40 to 45 mile per hour wind now comes over the top of the north end of the stadium dips down in so any team who tries to punt or kick or throw that high and that deep is going to have trouble the rain here's the stat of the night since pick off two inches as i throw my boat from sideline to size remember agent you do not have a north carolina fishing license two wide receivers to the left that's hood with movement the man at the top of the eye blue williams big hole 5-10 into the end zone and folks the flag has been thrown by the umpire and you know what we normally say next that means holding maybe that's the reason for the huge hole holding gamecocks continued mistakes frustration on the sideline [Applause] holding on the offense 10-yard penalty talking about it repeating nc state's defense in their winner workouts worked a lot with wrestling and they said what would happen is they'd put two players and let them wrestle get ready for the offensive teams and and they said that really helped them in their winter workouts because everybody was watching the two guys wrestling so uh got him a little tougher in the off-season conditioning program well this man right here and his wall club dodged a big one because that was a touchdown but with the hold the penalty has been moved the ball has been moved back to the 26-yard line [Applause] second and 17. now petty trying to get his running back watson to reset has to use a timeout this may be uh i don't know if this is a penalty on the sideline or not or whether the 25 second clock where that penalty came from it may be a sideline [Applause] dead ball foul delay of gain on the opposite five five-yard penalty and that's what lou holtz was upset with petty that he couldn't get the play off in time so there is no time out called and south carolina breaks the huddle with 307 to play in the first half they're down three to nothing and the new line of scrimmage is now the 31 of nc state blitz coming off the corner on the reverse hip ball is loose norman makes his own recovery as the pressure coming from jameson and also in the vicinity clayton white was about to pounce brian jameson's having a highlight reel here in the first half number 20. he goes after petty no sees the reverse coming makes the play on norman causes the fumble and again sets south carolina back further an excellent play on a wet field by brian jameson number 20. then you could see as i mentioned clayton white number 15 coming in to pounce on the football just got to hang this one up to petty third and 29. under pressure again petty gets it away tipped incomplete boo williams the intended receiver and that was jamison again when lou holt skip holtz watch this tape they're going to see enough of number 20 brian jameson to know that he wrecked their entire game plan in the first half [Applause] weld south carolina a moment ago until a holding penalty brought the ball back had rambled into the end zone apparently to take the lead the penalty pushed it back then another penalty and then a fumble and right now they're punting as the liner scrimmage is the 38. [Applause] love it's kick this one is going to hang up at the 10. and it is going to die at the 10-yard line well a lot of talk about lew holt's turning the south carolina offense over to skip is slightly exaggerated but lou's not completely ruling that out i've always felt if somebody can do it better than i can then i'm all for it and right now he took the offense we had and he's expounded on it and he's done a great job but by the same token to say that i'm not involved or i'm not going to make some calls or anything else or i'm going to stand on the sideline and say we're going to do but would be a mistake well as you can watch him move up and down the sideline he's a long way from being uninvolved in the barnett gives it to robertson has five has 10 and counted off at about 12 yards on the carry before sheldon brown with the tackle ray robinson had a high ankle sprain the fall camp lost his job to kj stone but came back in that texas game he ignited the first drive and scored a touchdown acc rookie a year in 98 [Applause] see his average 29 yards is just over four per try we are under two minutes until halftime nc state's still leading three to [Music] [Applause] nothing robertson he's trying to bounce him outside crosses to 25 and then gets smacked pretty good ray green one of the first men up out of the secondary and brian kenney let's check with you again all right ron coming up on the buick halftime report the gators having a bit of a problem with western michigan we'll talk about that colorado and colorado state a shocker there and we'll check in with chris fowler and the gang in ann arbor talk about notre dame and michigan that's coming up i'll be here with rod gilmore back to you okay brian as uh as mike and i talked with the first hand i'm not sure how much of a shock that colorado state score is first year transition year coaches it's a difficult first game while sonny lubick is one of the best and he is a veteran of that war big opening robinson he's loose in the secondary and he's going to take it to the 43 sheldon brown again making the stop derek roberts number 42 with an excellent block nc state's going to take a timeout and that opened up ray robinson number 42 the fullback 6-2 244 pound derrick roberts so we'll take the break with them three to nothing nc state under a minute remaining until halftime we'll be right back so we are back roberts with a nice block on that last play ron watch a tackle todd boyle on that play he's gonna block down and then roberts picks up the linebacker that just opened up a natural hole that was well blocked by both those young men [Applause] from the 43. barnett pressure from the backside loses the ball and recovered by south carolina cecil caldwell got on the loose ball that was caleb edwards who caused the fumble that's when you look at south carolina everybody's going to play them knows that they have a nice front four they are very active pinky gives them strength inside columbia edwards number 55 6-6 245 came off the corner now south carolina's got a shot at getting on this board nobody blocked him on the backside nc state's offensive line have had bust all night and they did the texas game also [Applause] another 37 seconds left a great opportunity for south carolina petty rolls to pocket waits a long time and now just throws that one away ron bad routes by south carolina's receivers there's no place for phil petty to throw the football both wide receivers kind of uh gingerly ran down the football field there was no place to throw the football there's no timeouts for south carolina 30 seconds to go they need a big play [Applause] got to take advantage of this opportunity because they had some earlier and uh [Applause] [Music] there's the freshman d'antonio burnett from warner robins georgia third time that they've been sacked and they quickly get back to the line of scrimmage [Applause] [Music] you know without a timeout they've wasted some time outs here in the first half because of the 25-second clock [Applause] he's not gonna i thought he was gonna ground the ball he's gonna try to throw it does deep over the middle complete to scott and incomplete and with that the clock has run out and we're at halftime with our score nc state three and south carolina nothing and now the buick halftime report let's rejoin brian kenney and rob gilmore gentlemen all right thank you very much uh you know skip holtz lou holtz they haven't scored in the first half and their comeback but i don't know what you can tell there in those conditions i think skip hold that's a toss-up to me the most disappointing thing is jamie barnett the high expectations he could become the most prolific passer in acc history last week and now this week he's gotten off to a miserable start ronnie's frustrated number one he's not getting any help they don't block for him in the offensive line the receivers can't get away last week he's 9 out of 26 65 yards and interception 2 for six and the weather conditions play a big part of that also on the other side south carolina penny the quarterback having a tough night turning the ball over here then they get a touchdown but it's called back on a holding call then they come back with a reverse fumble that get out of field goal range and then lou holtz giving his quarterback petty some instructions on the second half so when you look at the stats in the first half the turnovers by south carolina huge but i'll tell you a time of possession well in their favor and because of that it's only a three to nothing ballgame yeah now north carolina state big here in the third quarter they got to make some hay with the wind at their back if they don't south carolina's got a good chance of winning this game in the fourth quarter moore with the kickoff and all the way back one yard deep into the end zone is brewer [Applause] door tries to get to the outside going to be tackled at the 26 by the kicker bobby moore let's check on the sideline with adrian who's on lake karsten exactly right now neither george is willing to allow these weather conditions or the field conditions become an excuse for the way they've been playing football in the first half however because the rain has obviously saturated this field there is something to be said in the kicking game when you're receiving a punt even call for a fair catch and let it drop because the ball is just going to sink into the mud secondly if you're one receiver spit and run a proper route especially if you're in south carolina gamecocks on the other side of the field because it's nc state defensive backs don't know what's coming okay adrian good work tonight partner we are not envious of uh of your position this evening out there in the elements didn't his mother ever tell him to not stand in the water well his microphone was shorting just a little bit there and in fact we we say thanks to all of our guys on the crew we always have an outstanding crew it's the same group every week and guys yeomans work tonight to be out in these kind of conditions and continuing to just make it look like that's the way it's supposed to be our hats off to you we really appreciate it and we love you for it right up the middle nothing there bounces to the outside that is a great run by watson and he's off needs one block cut from behind by the all-american lloyd harrison wow i see what they mean about this young fella jeff snipes said he was the best runner he'd ever seen in high school he is really a talented looking youngster 88 times he ran for touchdowns in high school he bounces off he skates to the outside breaks another tackle of brian williams then gets in the secondary and you're right lloyd harrison makes a touchdown saving tackle lloyd harrison really working hard to get him [Applause] harrison very speedy picks him up but they scrimmage inside the 25. this time it's lions who will hit him from behind and make the stop at the 20. ryan brewer the carrier there he was mr ohio football so lou holtz and his staff doing a pretty nice job getting derrick watson uh and ryan brewer as freshman in this class ron this is big for north carolina state now they're getting manhandled a little bit on the last two plays now they missed tackles that's the reason watson broke away for the long run well what a bonus if they could pick up a score into the wind before they get the win at their back in the fourth quarter first man through short yardage knees trying to cross them up a little bit on second down jeff fisher with the stop well yeah you need an inside attack and that's what they're trying to do with knee smith they're trying to attack inside inside outside pass and you want to get all those things going but this is a big third down for them because they've had problems kicking field goals lou holtz and skip holds want to pick this first down up they do not want to go for a field goal situation third down and five they need to take it just inside the 15-yard line south carolina trails three to nothing option petty down the line of scrimmage he'll keep it turns it up and he'll have the first down plus about five more goodson tripped him up let's see where they spotted i think it is going to be just outside the tan anytime you're a blitzing football team and your blitz up inside the options the neutralizer because the option once that gets outside and you're in man coverage you got a nice block out of the fullback knee smith with a good block petty shows some strength running the football snipes jeff snipes told us the other day when they watched the tennessee film last year that he ran all over the football field and they showed he showed how good an athlete he was in that ball game who williams is the tailback as they line up in the eye nc state creeping up at the line of scrimmage it's william fit behind the line clayton white or those linebackers for nc state really playing good football early this year top returning tackler from last year clayton white 101 tackles where's that number 15 goes back to biddy ball with that number he just will not play without it mike cocaine kind of the forgotten guy tonight with all the emphasis on lou holtz and everything going on his ball club 1-0 and trying to become two-and-oh as they return home to play this one this evening watson yeah a little stutter step on the delay and with that he got bumped at the line of scrimmage by goodson looked like he just slipped his feet coming right out came right out from under him now ron do you think option play here possibly again trying to get phil petty on the corner wide receivers have been quiet for south carolina and they've got some good wide receivers hood number nine kelly number 84. some big target so here's the situation as he comes to the down in lineup this is the eighth play of this ride they're splitting out to tight end trade pennington 6'5 so he's got a real height advantage on tony scott kenny under pressure they throw the screen [Applause] [Music] pennington as a decoy really did do a nice job with pennington outside get the screen now a decision for lou holtz nope no decision it's coming back ineligible receiver downfield down field you expect mistakes in the first ball game you really do because no exhibition game in football this is your exhibition this your first time out but south carolina's made too many mistakes [Applause] see if we can find out i think the ball was thrown across the line of scrimmage right penalty from the previous spot repeat third down what happened ron on that is the ball was thrown by phil petty enough to take the receiver downfield lineman downfield so it's going to come back and as you suggested that the play was designed to be caught behind the line the line of scrimmage and as it turned out those linemen were trapped so it's third down [Music] [Applause] swings it out that's a nice catch by watson he fumbles the football and jamison is the man who knocked it loose and recovered by brian williams flag down too ron how many times can you give the football up now i know the weather conditions are like they are tonight but just keep making the same mistakes that they made last year coach holtz coaching on the sideline on the offense penalty is declined first down we've talked about this young man the game he had last week brian williams is off to a just superb start in 1999 mike the dangerous thing on the pass that actually was a lateral it was thrown away from the line of scrimmage a great job by watson just to hold on to the football that could have been a ball that was alive you're very right impressive young freshman backs for south carolina big opening on the right side for robinson and he will take it out to around the 19. harney comes over to make the tackle ron last year remember 110th out of a 112 in turnovers they're they're minus 13 they're minus four tonight that takes time to overcome that that's a lot of it's mental a lot of it field position tonight but you can't make those mistakes and win and you have to team up with a big play like the run they had a moment ago and come away with no points and last year lost four games by less than a touchdown [Applause] [Applause] the cornerback south carolina's winning this quarter with the wind at their back nc state they better get a first down be close no no no no wind continues to blow the rain continues to fall not quite as hard as what we had in the first half some people went home at halftime but there are a lot of hearty souls that are still here i guess most of them figure they can't get any more saturated than than they are right now [Applause] where he got a small quarterback in jamie barnett six foot but you may still elect not to take the ball off the line of scrimmage and let him quarterback sneak here but cleveland pinkney has been getting penetration at the nose guard so that affects how you call the play derrick green the freshman out of charlotte comes out over the football [Applause] barnett with the quarterback sneak and it would appear that he has the first down and edwards is the man who struck him first you gave up on your glasses and it kept raining on it hard to see well starting on tuesday catch the early evening sportscenter at its new time 6 eastern 3 pacific all the latest sports news information and highlights 30 minutes earlier sportscenter now at six o'clock every weekday evening for more log onto espn.com part of the go network go.com ron jamie barnett's going to have to throw the ball he's got to get the defensive backs off of him here comes the pressure off the corner and that's where they run and robinson hit on a nice open field tackle by harney if harney misses him a little running yeah what's what's happening now for south carolina charlie strong the defensive coordinator just creeping defense he backs up closer linebackers up closer blitzing jamie barnett because they're not able to get him off and somewhere along the line you got to throw the ball down the field at least to get them off of you we saw that similar situation last week between nc state and texas texas just came creeping up carl reece just brought his defensive backs up closer and closer as the game went on robinson tries to bounce it outside he will and just picks up as much as he can before he's knocked out of bounds around the 38-yard line house is the man defensively for derrick roberts with a good block i was going to say derrick roberts again with a nice block he was on abraham the big defensive outside linebacker this is the kind of game ron coaches they always earn their money but they really earn their money tonight because you're always looking for a little edge in this weather condition something to try to spark it south carolina had the little pass where the back gets the line back [Applause] third down they need to take it to the 39-yard line or this is going to be delay of game they just got it off and they got a big opening and they also got the first download that is spikes rashad spikes first time we've seen him carry it tonight and those fresh legs showed their worth well michael keane told us the other day when we met with him he said i got to get rashaan spikes back in the game he fumbled on the first carry against texas but he had 176 yards rushing last year in the micron pc bow so he's a very strong back and you mentioned a good point he's got fresh legs in this game three to nothing nc state leads we are about to go under six minutes left in this third quarter [Applause] south carolina says they have the football no confirmation from the officials as [Applause] well yet got blasted at the line of [Applause] scrimmage but he got hit and ron a lot of that uh he didn't get much fall practice he had a groin pull in the fall practice and kind of lost his job didn't get a lot of work but that was caused by harney number 44. cleveland pinckney making the recovery as we go to break south carolina football three to nothing wolfpack leads it presentation of primetime college football is brought to you by chrysler engineered to be great cars [Applause] and we are back you see a few empty spots there a few people at halftime just said we're giving it up but these folks are right here whether they're cheering for south carolina or nc state total yards 173 for the gamecocks only 73 for nc state in this ball game remember last week they were held at 37 in the second half by texas there's an opening boy this young man watson as he learns and matures he ron the week after nc state with the big wins last year was florida state then they lost to baylor beat syracuse and came right back and lost to georgia tech so they had the big win against texas ranked in the top 25 and now they're in the top 25 and they got to protect it tonight [Applause] you know here's the fumble and that ball never had it never had it [Applause] watson saw that that was about to be closed up just went airborne and he's going to have another first down anderson tackled him i'm sure lou holtz on the sideline has challenged the offensive line because this is going to be one with the offensive line someone is going to be able to knock the other team off the ball get enough yardage and get in the end zone one time to win this football game and right now south carolina's got the edge in this game even though they're behind 3-0 they had a huge edge in time of possession in the first half and they're headed that way here in the second half as well watson hit in the backfield that's great penetration by burnett now we're talking about watson as a freshman that shows tremendous potential d'antonio burnett a freshman who was playing high school ball last year number 45 out of warner robins georgia boy the coaches at nc state love him and they always said they said last week at texas it's hard to keep him out of the lineup edric smith gets hurt hurts his knee burnett right there to fill in option play teddy well i say an option play he did have the option could have thrown it or he could have later the ball and let's check in on the sideline again with adrian ron for the first time in his 28 years as a college football coach lou holtz told me he was ready to take a hands-off philosophy with the offense well i got to tell you at this point he really has let skip do his job i've been sticking with him yard by yard here as he moves up and down the sidelines even though he has the headsets on he's letting skip run the offense he is not interfering very much at all i can tell you this adrian when the head coach puts the headsets on he's involved betty drills the pass and a really tough throw throwing across the body into the wind and into the ring and actually the play was well covered by tony scott when you put the headsets on as a head coach you most there are a lot of head coaches a lot of ways to do it uh you like to have your offensive coordinator make those calls but lou holtz is right now involved he knows they have given up so many opportunities tonight and here they are again rap rapping at the door and they got to come away with something mike they're going to go for it on fourth and 11. they need to take it to the north carolina state 22-yard line the wolfpack leads it three to nothing petty drills in the fact they have thrown it a little too hard white with the hit and it's going to be north carolina state football yeah and the choice you make you either punt them down inside the 10 hopefully you get them inside the 10 or you go for it on fourth down so let's take a break nc state holds they still lead three to nothing we'll be right back holds pace is the sideline and he has tried to warm up a little bit got a little bit cooler here in the second half mike what about the call that they made in fourth down just a moment ago i think the reason he didn't punt the football try to pin him inside the tent he's confidence in his defense his defense has really controlled north carolina state's offense so why not take one shot try to get on the board and he tried to get the first down they're old for three on fourth down conversions but it's been a situation where they have been just out of field goal range even if it were dry and now nc state jamie barnett somewhere along the line he's got to make south carolina pay for the 20-yard difference right here or 30-yard difference now is jamie barnett time he's got to get some help around this offensive line has to protect him [Applause] this time they roll the pocket barnett gets his pass away has it complete that's hambrick and hamrick will have the first down out across the 44. and let's check in with the studio with brian kenney all right ron first game at clemson for tommy bowden marshall on the attack doug chapman around the end all the way up and in and marshall up on top 13-10 chris campbell for clemson 33-yard field goal no good and marshall beats clemson south carolina fans might remember that same sort of situation against south carolina with clemson two years ago ron yeah two years ago marsha was one double a now they have moved into their new conference and they are good good football ron that's not an upset forget that being an upset misdirection here out to the 50-yard line robinson with a good head of steam and a nice hole that time this marshall football team i saw him in the motor city bowl a couple years ago with ole miss and they beat louisville good louisville team chad pennington is one of the highest rated quarterbacks by the nfl scouts they got 10 starters back on defense nine on offense believe me that's not an upset kind of team that you really don't and clemson only has five home games they lost one of them already so they only have four left at death valley spikes comes in a tailback they faked the handoff to him here's the reverse corn robinson nice job defensively as kalima edwards was right at home and just turned it back in where he had a lot of help that's a nice job to the 47. corn robinson is supposed to take torrey holt's spot compared to torrey holt 40-yard dash tory holt and a 4-3-6 robinson runs a 4-3-9 the vertical by holt 37 vertical 37 and a half by robinson so they eventually think robinson is going to be like tory holt if he gets anywhere close he'll be a great receiver dory is here tonight they retired his jersey at halftime under two minutes to play in the third quarter here you see the glitch coming and there's just not much there for spikes for the blitz they read it perfectly most exciting receiver i saw all last year big hands hands like a loaf of bread and uh made so many big plays and they miss him he was a single he was a dominating football player he was their go-to whatever they needed he was the go-to guy go two on first second third down here they are at halftime mike cocaine out of the locker room to say thank you to one of his favorites i know tory holt and they retired the number 81. ron now north carolina state similar situation they're going to punt south carolina try to pin him in the hole sixth punt of the night first of the second hand by nc state this is a damn high hangar and they let it go and it bounces just into the end zone 47 yards in the kick and it'll come back out to the 20. so we'll take a break 45 seconds remaining third quarter three to nothing willpeck still three to nothing as field position nc state's done a nice job and and you can't give enough credit to their young putter earwood last week and again here tonight the ball carrier and he will take it for about two maybe three yards run michael keane may want to use his timeouts right here after this next play to make sure he forces south carolina to punt into that win one more time yep he's keeping an eye on that clock 25 now down to 24. and lou holtz wants to run the football run that clock out and get the win because he won the third quarter [Applause] petty on the ground again watson hit at the lineus commitch and one second that is the end of the third quarter so let's take a timeout nc state on the strength of a 22-yard field goal is on top in this rainy windy [Music] welcome back for the final 15 minutes of play and i'll tell you what carter finley tonight has has withstood dennis so far situation is third down and they need to take it out to the 30-yard line but they have the wind to their back south carolina of course i'm speaking pressure teddy can he get away gonna be tackled at the 21-yard line gibson one of the first people to get there but now they get the kick with the win now also ron they face terence holt tory holt's brother i think they're going to go after this one all right so we will keep a very close eye inside the place that they came from last week is leak scored a touchdown he had two blocks number nine was from the right looking at the special teams from their back or to the center's left so see if that is the play or the stunt that they have on levitt waiting for the snap standing back at his own eight yard line and they're coming after him all right and they got right up the middle pick up and score [Applause] takes it in and it was williams who got the block brian williams ron what happens is when you an excellent punt blocking team like north carolina state you you block two punch from the outside then all of a sudden you change your punt rush up and it comes inside and that's what won the texas game and that's what gives them a nine nothing lead right here nine nothing and this weather is absolutely huge they're trying to make it 10. hamrick is the holder gets a good pass ball is down and his kick is perfect and a 10 to nothing lead by nc state with 1406 left to play in the ball game we'll take a break for a moment and we'll be right back those special teams for nc state boy are they special [Applause] [Music] espn's presentation of primetime college football is brought to you by infinity own one and you'll understand and by middle light taste a true pilsner ron a little bit of knowledge is dangerous sometime last week watching this side this side just went blocked in yes last week against texas but watch this this guard and the personal protector both go to the right right side which leaves brian williams just run free to block the kick and then court robinson but what they were doing is trying to help with tory holt's brother terence on the left side in the miss blocking assignment nobody picks brian williams up that's just a bust in protection well let me tell you what happened after the excitement because it occurred one play after the end of the quarter we looked up nc state was going to kick off with the wind south carolina had obliged and they were at the wrong end of the field the officials said wait a minute something's wrong here let's reverse this short kick and it's going to come down at the 15-yard line to boo williams and williams behind blockers out to the 31. [Applause] on that special team's first week of the season south carolina's facing it now sometimes you have the wrong people in there and you make some mistakes when live bullets are flying 13 55 left in our ball game 10 to nothing north carolina state south carolina with the wind and the rain to their back in this fourth quarter [Applause] bill williams well that could be a hold and if the tackle made after a gain of one i'll tell you they've got williams cedric williams just took him and bulldogged him they need to practice a little more wrestling north carolina state because cedric williams just brought him to the ground [Applause] 76 cedric williams right here well and he did a good job of it because there was no flag so it's a gain but let's call it four second down and [Applause] six watson in motion they think that to him good pressure on the outside but petty gets by him and then under throws the pass corey smith with the pressure mikey's just a little bit reticent instead of letting that thing fly he's waiting too long in that threat ron sometimes quarterbacks are bothered by what football and they try to palm the ball and they try to push it he's not throwing the football watch as he comes out he pushes the football first of all he has to get by pressure on the outside that's goodman number 17. backup quarterback but he's trying to push the football [Applause] goodbye that they think is going to turn into an awfully good one a kyle goodman here comes the option and one of the things he is very good at when he hurdles the man at the 40 and takes it to the 42 and that is good for the first down fischer making the stop we played notre dame when lou holtz was coaching and i was at pittsburgh and we got a 26 to nothing lead and broke a guy by the name of terry andrew jack's lake and all of a sudden a young kid ran out on the field tony rice and the next thing i know it was 26-24 and we got off with the win so maybe goodman can do what tony rice did for lou holtz at notre dame and give a little spark to this offense but phil petty the weather conditions had a lot of effect on phil petty tonight both quarterbacks goodman has the first down as a scrimmage at their own 42-yard line play action this time [Applause] well coming up tonight at 11 eastern sports center with under cohen and stuart scott their top stories tonight pedro goes for 20. versus the diamondbacks number 16 notre dame against the michigan wolverine that's tonight at sportscenter for 20 years your source for sports news and highlights oh we're told that petty is experiencing leg cramps and that's the reason that he is on the sidelines and goodman in [Applause] option play this pitch goes to brewer and the youngsters doing it all themselves now close to the first down ron you go back to that block punt we've talked about it every week the first week of the season you're vulnerable for a lot of reasons you may have the wrong guy in the lineup and you don't know because you practice against your own teams and they do very well and then you get the game and they forget to go a certain way and you can do that in the defense or offense but if you're doing the kicking game at six points and uh it's tough to practice against the speed that you face in the first game your scout team is not going to give you the speed third down about a yard and a half boy nc state really crowding the line of scrimmage and movement right tackle movement by the right tackle that's going to cost him five melvin page number 72 is rockin [Applause] dead ball foul false start on the offense five yard penalty [Applause] that's the advantage of having a game [Music] you make a lot of mistakes in your first game but north carolina state had the first game south carolina just starting their season here so a new play called as they come to the line of scrimmage with the third down and about six and a half in a an entirely different situation option play goodman will hold on to it and he's going nowhere burnett one of the first men there to make the hit on him and also corey smith and burnett well they say he's a throwback he may be a freshman but he is a good-looking middle linebacker they're going to have a tough time getting him out of the lineup clayton white did a nice job on this last play round because he went right to the pitch man so he forced goodman to carry the football this is going to be a punch safe right here for north carolina state too close to the 50-yard line they figure there may be a fake so they're going to punt safe here good kick this one is driving and is going to hit into the end zone boy he kicked that thing about 70 yards in the air it's good for 55 and it will come back out to the 20. so there's a timeout 10 to nothing wolfpack leading ron there's the hero last week terrence holt because he blocked two kicks versus texas and what happens is you get the attention of the special teams coach here they come from the left side of the punt team they block this one now they come in and get the second one then they get a third one coming from the same the punt team's left side so what happens to south carolina tonight they get worried about that side they get worried about hope next thing you know both these guys are heading over there and they open it up for williams of free safety to block the punt excellent job and special teams by michael keane's team joe pate coaches those well i was going to say interesting talk with mike yesterday and i asked him i said you coached with frank beamer and he is so good at special teams is that the influence and he said not really joe actually traveled to syracuse and got a lot of the punt blocks from syracuse university [Applause] holds him in motion they keep it on the ground spikes nice job coming up the sideline harney finally pushes him out of bounds ron derrick roberts now there hasn't been a lot of offense tonight but what offense there has been by north carolina state is because derrick roberts blocks so well fullback is 6-2 on 244 pounds he's always at the ankles of the defenders and he's opening up the tailbacks he's had a wonderful night blocking for these tailbacks 10 to nothing as we have gone under 10 minutes left in our ball game the wolf pack that blocked kick just a moment ago they had a 22-yard field goal back in the first half that is all the scoring that we've had barnett again and defensively tonight if you're going to give somebody a defensive award harney has got to be right there he and pinkbe both have been outstanding ron the reason harney was successful there was because the receivers for nc state i was watching the route they couldn't get away from anybody so jamie barnett really had nowhere to throw the football risk an interception if he throws the football again the field conditions the way they are receivers don't look like they can make the cuts they need to make now the range starts to come back down very very hard here in raleigh this is supposed to happen all through the night as dennis is coming through now as a tropical storm bounces it to the outside and as you can see he's very close to a first down no checking it was uh the loss on the last play so he brings it back to the original line of scrimmage how about virginia today ron we watched that game braverman makes the 50-yard field goal he didn't have a job until this this week george welsh just decided against uh or decided on him he was in a fight for with green and he had a real tough sledding the last three games of the year against georgia in the peach bowl but team out big today [Applause] imagine that uh pep talk at halftime was uh was a little a little loud quarterback draw barnett is going to take it across the 36 to the 37 atkins is there to stop him because they are driving the football and through the interception what 86-yard return they give up a touch just before halftime and a game that they had control of but you like a guy todd braverman he stuck with it yeah things didn't go well at the end of the last season but he got his chance again in the opening game and he made the most of it seventh play of the drive coming up here with the punt madeira wood waiting for the snap back at the 22. you figure south carolina's coming after him too but he's quick getting the ball away [Music] [Applause] he barely got it away in fact i don't know how he got it away without it being blocked and south carolina has to run away from it kevin house almost got himself a block he gets my vote for the most valuable player of the game i'm he's just come up with big play that ball you're right it should have been blocked scott earwood knows he feels he knows when to kick the football when to shorten his steps let's keep let's keep a watch on it he's just fast ron i'll tell you he gets rid of it [Applause] whoever changed his steps did a nice job if you missed that story that we told in the first half ten days before the texas game they told him they wanted to change his steps make him a step and a half kicker he adapted to it extremely well and he's just never looked back rogers is at quarterback he's gonna go on top on first down and throws right into coverage in his fortune it didn't have it picked off by harrison josh is a sophomore from pittsburgh california and he played junior college ball at uh los medanos and now it's uh you can see his yardage he threw 420 touchdown passes now it's an audition for the quarterback position you could get a look at goodman you get a look at now rogers and uh carrie thorpe the sid told me that he thought kyle krabb would be the backup quarterback so they've got some depth at the quarterback position 7 16 left in our ball game 10 to nothing nc state [Applause] rogers still running trying to get out of bounds and he gets tattooed over there by clayton white adrian carson what do you have for us buddy well i have the fact that number 81 will never ever be worn here again at nc state because tory holt the man who had just about every single season single game and career passing and receiving record here ron has had his numbers retired and he joined the likes of roman gabriel congratulations tori thank you very much uh it's definitely honor come back to my university and have my jersey retired uh so i'm just taking out everything all in and just enjoying it tonight all right now don't shoot the messenger but here it comes younger brother terence has a little message it's about time you stand on the sidelines and watch him start for a change that's cool man i'm glad to be back here man i love my brother to death and it's fun to get back and support him and finish supporting my teammates so i'm loving it man and i'm wishing the best returns in his teammates ron terence's goal now is to be the acc special teams player of the year i'll tell you what he uh he's got a good shot at doing it because he's an extremely good athlete and in fact little brother was a better basketball player in high school but he didn't get the offers that that really he was that he thought what he should take came back to o'kane and said hey what about football he said i don't have a scholarship left you could walk on but everything's gonna wind up being taken care of he did walk on they're happy he did they're happy he didn't play basketball they may go after this punt again now let's see if they do seven minutes [Music] [Applause] good coverage kit very high no fair catch is called for it and he's fumbled and then the recovery made at the 37. [Applause] well coleman looked up into that rain dropped it for a moment let's take a break 6 51 left in our ball game 10 to nothing that clock running down now under seven to play and you can see some distant stairs on the part of south carolina on the far sideline kids have played extremely hard this one's not over but it has just been a thing of too many as mike has pointed out too many errors and what he said off the top of the telecast something they could ill afford to do spikes bounces off one tackler boy no place to go and it's going to be tackled at the 24. that's a loss about five yards pga tour action tomorrow on espn2 uh final round of that two and a half million dollar air canada championship from vancouver the later after three rounds fred funk fred is at 13 under par coverage three o'clock eastern tomorrow on deduce and for more log on to espn.com part of the build network go.com ron franklin mike gottfried and adrian carson coming to you from raleigh north carolina where the storm has well it started at around one this afternoon coming through the city and it really has not subsided players have done a good job of coping both teams have spikes again pull ahead of steam and he'll have about four yards over street defensively ron talked you talked about the forgotten man on the other side line mike o'cain but if he holds on here with a 10-0 lead and should he starts out 2-0 97 he was three and five had three games left one against east carolina les robinson the athletic director extended his contract helped him recruit a little bit more and my hat's off to les robinson because i think a lot of people don't make those moves as ads but he stayed with his coach and it's paying dividends [Applause] third down you see the blitz coming and boy no place to go green was the first man to get to barnett and i think jamie is just i know he's frustrated because he is a better quarterback than this but they're not all on the same page on offense there's not a quarterback in the country that can throw off his back he doesn't have much time believe me scott earwood better hurry here again too because south carolina's going to come after him they were close the last fun block got a good pass they are coming after him over in but he got it away and this is brewer nice job of coverage by mc state as they make the tackle at the 47. lamar fisher 30-yard kick and six on the return ron jamie barnett we saw him take a licking down to texas last week and wondered how he got up on sunday but tonight it's been the same thing here he tries to run scramble it takes a heck of a hit there and then gets plowed down here by pinkney and then rolls out to the right side just no place to go and ron i don't care how good you are when they're chasing you like that you don't have much time to throw see that right there that just looked like a jailbreak nothing doing on that play as a result what their offense still doesn't have a touchdown there no and if they're going to be a boat team and they're off to a great start uh two wins and and they're obviously headed for a bowl season and headed to challenge in this league of course there's one team in this league that's set above everybody else this year but for them to be good they've got by the last two weeks but they're going to need this offense one of this one of these weeks because somebody's going to stop their special teams not going to make the mistakes on the other side of the ball and force their offense to win the game goodman pitches that one out watson on the receiving end he turns it upfield and wipe out another really nice gain on the part of south carolina because of fouls might have been on number 68 ron jim levandusky well they were pretty sure of it because there are three flags down in the area lebendoski has been a tight end they've moved him to tackle i think they may have threw one on the sidelines too thrown one well lou went sprinting down the sideline he was out running the play well who's welcoming the sec officials to his games [Applause] during the run flipping on the offense 15 yards from the spot of the foul sideline warning south carolina first warning now that's all that is this morning well that's and that's a nice yeah that's good they could have i just want them to back up a little bit watch watch the sideline you'll see somebody in the right of your picture and then after that flag or sony here comes lou into the picture i mean he was trailing the play down that sideline and as mike said he's uh you know i think what loose complaining about he thought that defender turned at the last second and may have had a uh a complaint there but the officials did the wise thing they just warned them instead of doing an unsportsman like on on the bench three minutes and 50 seconds left in this one 10 to nothing nc state continues to lead [Music] [Applause] watching spinning as he crosses the 50 but he won't get away from brian williams ron there's there's a lot of things for south carolina to build on in this ball game they made a lot of mistakes now if they didn't make the mistakes they made obviously they did but if they didn't they'd they had a chance to win this football game the holding on boo williams touchdown but these young backs and the offensive line i think has played well the defensive front for south carolina so there's some good things to build on well you can see lavar fisher there he forgot his cape and he went flying after after the ball carried [Applause] third down they need to take it to the 42 does get the pitch away but look at this stop breaking the tackle now reversing the field is watson and he's still going and will pick up the first down now here's a point i'd like to make mike going on a dry field in the next 10 games whoever the defenders are they better keep an eye on number 22 because this kid right here is headed for startup now he's tired here he's he's he's put on a show tonight derek watson freshman mr football in south carolina they've got some good young backs boy do they let's take a timeout 249 remaining 10 to nothing nc state and south carolina trying to this uh stadium over 50 000 in attendance tonight regardless of the just deplorable conditions winds gusting 40 miles an hour in a heavy heavy rain at kickoff time and still most everyone is is in this stadium hit just as the ball is handed off knee smith just got blasted by jeff fisher adrian carsten what do you have for us partner update on phil petty the quarterback for south carolina gamecocks the reason he's not on the field ron is because he is already in the locker room take her an intravenous solution because of leg cramping even on a night like tonight he just forgot to take enough liquids nothing serious but it's keeping him out of this game okay adrian good work there my friend we've seen a couple of other quarterbacks rogers also goodman and they come with the reverse he fumbled the ball hood and he will run out of bounds brian williams was the man right there ronnie well next saturday on espn college game day at 11 a.m eastern with chris fowler de corso and kirk herb street and penn state linebackers lamar arington and brandon short lead the fourth ranked nifty lions against the pittsburgh panthers game time at noon eastern and for more local espn.com we did a heisman show the other day and asked us to pick who we thought would win the heisman i picked levar erinson i think he's the best player in college football i'll tell you what now he uh if he maintains his current pace he'll get a lot of votes mike he plays it the way it's supposed to be played [Music] skip hopes calling plays tonight trying to work magic ron trying to to find a way to get this ball in the end zone and on side kick and get back in this football game made some nice play calls they just they've blown up with mistakes turnovers penalties third down and they've got to take it down to the 19-yard line to keep it going goodness pass well short of its mark that'll be fourth and they are what oh for three on fourth down tries tonight gonna try a long field goal [Applause] levitt his longest is 47 yards and this one is going to be an attempt well i think they're going to say 50. the ball just across the 49 from the near hash mark looks like he's got the leg on it nope it's going to be short was it was a defensive night and special teams made the difference for nc state nc state gets on the board kent passing him with the field goal he gave a three to nothing lead then the blocked punt by brian williams foreign robinson picking it up 10 points 10 points special teams mike he was so deep he had to wait i didn't realize until watching that replay he had to slow down to time the puck so he wouldn't overrun it that's how far he was beyond the line of scrimmage missed blocking assignment on the punt spikes will keep it on the ground a defensive night around in this weather defensive players they enjoy playing in this weather both teams defenses i thought nc state played very well and i thought uh charlie strong's defense on the other side really played well show a lot of good defensive front abraham's a very good player well pinckney has had a good ball he's been all over big cecil caldwell caldwell's been good so this defense will be heard from the georgia next week spike off start of the lineup tackle he may have lost a yard the whistles blow when a timeout has been called to stop the clock at 104 and we'll take it with him so we've got a commercial coming up 10 to nothing the wolf pack on top we will return to raleigh right after this are enjoying the weather mom let him stay out late let him get wet and uh nobody cares right now go home take a hot shower and then head under the covers 10 to nothing nc state just 103 away from winning their second game that ball is loose and no whistle a marker has gone down it is a fumble and recovered by south carolina spike's second fumble of the night ron what happens though when you've got a 10 to nothing lead late in the game you're going to run against 10 11 men you have to be able to hold on to football coaches practice that late in the ball game running against everybody because nobody's guarding against the pass south carolina got a quick turnover charlie strong again he has to be pleased with his defense the defensive coordinator spikes really didn't get the football they had too much penetration 55 seconds left josh rogers back in the ball game at quarterback south carolina seven fumbles they lost for nc state four fumbles they've lost three pressure is on oh my goodness he waited long enough he almost got his man killed and he almost got it picked off as clayton white was coming palmell fisher was the man with the pressure on the quarterback rogers got to be able to get kelly the this junior wide receiver and carry hood out there somewhere throw the ball down the field try to let him make a play [Applause] blue hols trying to get a touchdown on the board to cut it to a three-point margin under one minute to play in this opening ball game for him and that was just well that's stone out of bounds a good thing he put way too much air into that one lavar fisher with the pressure on rogers well coming up next residents in college game night brian kenny and rod gilmore are back in the studio for scores highlights and analysis plus chris lee and kirk from ann arbor in the aftermath of today's notre dame and michigan game that's followed at 11 eastern by sportscenter tough to throw to going to your left and never get your shoulders square because the pressure by nc state well even more difficult because of the slip slippery turf and they were about to get a five-yard penalty so [Applause] dead ball foul substitution infraction on the offense broke the huddle with 12 players five yard penalty third down something that is being watched even closer this year by the officials can't break the huddle with 12 men yeah why that is ron is because you're trying to figure out coaches are trying to get the defenses in for what you have lined up you have three tight ends or two tight ends and if you've got 12 they can't count exactly what you do have in there so they're trying to clean it up goodman back in a quarterback pass right over the middle boys slipped him out of the backfield and threw it just a little too far our beast of players of the game from south carolina derek watson 118 yards on 15 carries remember that name because you're going to hear it a lot and at nc state scott earwood the punter we don't often give it to punters but this young man two weeks in a row has been very very deserving he has really helped his team [Applause] next week over on the deuce we'll be in athens [Applause] not to see the parthenon but to see the georgia bulldogs taking on the same hog docks from uh south carolina yeah they've got

took a knee well the one dilemma about having your son mike as an assistant coach is it's hard to fire him if he's not doing his job but skip knows that that's really not an issue when i was in high school one summer i decided i was going to work for him i was going to do things around the house and i was going to work for him about my third day on the job some some of my friends came by in the car and said hey we're all going you know out to the lake go water skiing everything you want to go and i said sure i'd love to so i get in the car and i go and i'm figuring i'll make up my work on saturday and i got back and he fired me so i know he'll fire me faster he'll than anybody else on this staff ron this is an impressive young guy skip hopes and i can see why he did very well at

started going through their breakdown drills today and he's a football coach who is just you know he's not worried about the thrills the frills and all that kind of stuff and he's he's enjoying working and being with the kids i agree with you he'll do an outstanding job is they will go down on one knee and the clock now shows 20 seconds and 19 and this time there is not going to be a
