Georgia team bus was literally walking as the Bulldogs arrived a few hugs for aaron murray and his teammates as they made their way in and a former teammate Zach Mettenberger now the starting quarterback at LSU back home he grew up ten miles from Athens it's the LSU Tigers undefeated against the Georgia Bulldogs this [Applause] we welcome you to the home depot sec on CBS LSU and Georgia

true big boy football game it really is when you're talking to all the guys and the coaches sometimes players in Mardin football have to try to find the action well the actions gonna find them it is really measure yourself out here against a really great competition and we do have two of the best quarterbacks in all of college ball going head to head they will once roommates here at Georgia it's Erin Murray for the Bulldogs starting his 45th game Zach Mettenberger coming back home as the leader of LSU will develop that story throughout the day but talk a little bit about their respective talents certain these games are always high pressured for quarterbacks but I think it's even more pressure in this football game you know both of these guys they came here to Georgia together you know the pressure is going to be on each one of them to try to show they're the guy I mean for Zach and Erin Murray in this one where Zach grew up watching football and Erin Murray is now the quarterback for Georgia it's going to be pressure packed and which one of those two guys is going to make the plays in the fourth quarter you know it's going to come down in every sense this is going to be a heavyweight battle in fact live at Sanford Stadium and coming on the field first the Bulldogs of Georgia they won 14 straight in mark Rick's 13 years 65 and Sanford Stadium behind them led by Les Miles JC Copeland first out the Tigers of LSU 29 straight wins in September and make note of this all-time LSU has won seven and lost only six here against the Georgia Bulldogs let's go down to Tracy we just talked about how this is going to be a heavy weight fight how did you prepare your team for the physicality that we're about to see well we just practiced that where we try to play that while we try to think that way but we know they do too it's going to be a great battle we appreciate it thanks a lot yes [Applause] no hiding like we've said I mean mark knows he's been telling us all week that he's been preaching to his team that if you don't want to stand up there and be a man unless she's gonna run right over you the first team that smells any weakness in Windows - well Tracy Wolfson just one run ran the 53-yard desh she's live with less that's right we talked about it before how you keep Zach Mettenberger 'z emotions in check what did you say to him before he took the field he need not worry about anything other than playing quarterback for LSU as a man's and size job today just play like he's supposed to we'll be fine we appreciate it good luck today thank you well done Tracy ninety two thousand plus on hand at venerable Sanford Stadium just a brilliant late September afternoon as LSU takes on George they have won LSU that is the last two games just perfect 75 degrees a slight breeze and continued sunny skies James Harrison will kick-off Reggie Davis true freshman about to make his first kickoff return of the year he did catch a 98-yard pass last week that was Erin Murray's 100th career pass touchdown Hairston for LSU this will be his 31st kickoff 20 of them have gone for touch backs LSU won the toss and deferred [Applause] and he chases this one all the way through the end zone and so the Bulldogs will state a start on offense Aaron Murray making his 45th start every game he's played since his first game is a freshman here at Georgia was out of practice Thursday burn and he had a brilliant day was like watching a Drew Brees practice many years ago the ball really never hit the ground every checkoff was sound he was in complete focus on Thursday for this game already with two undergraduate degrees he was in graduate school and dropped the course load because he was taking 12 hours it was just a bit much [Applause] that's his outside he's chased an Alabama substantial game on first down start starting lineups presented by chick-fil-a [Applause] gates Leandra's burnett and houston go back his hips and Colton Houston will develop his three-year battle to become eligible here this is his first year to play a complicated book has a nice and here's girl to the 40-yard the 15 yard pass cats from Erin Murray defensively Rascoe Johnson Eagle Ferguson the Neal hunter Guan Alexander starts for the injured toss Jones and we'll talk a little bit more about the honor of wearing number 18 this year it goes to limine Baro it's a tradition that goes back to the year that Matt Mauck wearing that number led the Tigers to the NCAA Championship [Applause] Marie across the middle perfect pass Justin Scott Leslie well you can see the gameplan from Mike Bobo to start this game he's going to start trying to soften up this LSU defense by the way that has nine new starters from a year ago is a very young defense and they've got the experience Murray starting to dictum with the short passes to begin [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Arthur Lynch the tight-end out of Dartmouth Massachusetts Arthur Lynch caught four passes last week and he is a real threat that tight in right there he gets a little stop and then into the middle of the field in its goes left breaks the tackle on Alexander picks up on that visual four yards after that miles still a placid demeanor this is the first drive of the game girly really running well early on the Verizon red zone offense 19 trip so far 13 touchdowns national average is 63% it's a great combination an experienced quarterback and a load of tailback get the three watch to the right side [Applause] stiff-arm Alexander who attempted to make the tackle eagerly is brought down after for pound pound pound play-action that was made they DJing welter number 31 the middle linebacker for LSU [Music] plenty of tights and Michael Bennett in the slot one of his favorite players to go up top with number 82 Chris Conley is the wide man bottom of the screen [Music] there he is the Michael Bennett Georgia [Applause] Michael Bennet missed most of last season with a torn ACL he was injured in the fourth game of the year marshal Morgan to the extra part it's just Verne not only did they have their best tall receiver that Erin Murray loves to go to Bennett and he's got a matched against a safety in craig'll Austin I mean this is basically checkers you got your best receiver on a safety King me [Applause] [Music] [Applause] well that was impressive for love seventy-five yards in eight plays it took 320 giorgia by seven everybody wearing red feeling pretty good about things right now most impressive opening god for Georgia and kicks it to the 1-yard line Dell Beckham jr. a dangerous return man counter punches out across the 30 to the 34 and now one of the main themes of this afternoon's game Zach Mettenberger he grew up ten miles south of Athens Watkinsville signed first in the class of the spring of 2010 they suited guilty to two misdemeanor counts of sexual battery was dismissed from his team and his Jimmy has brought him back here with the first carrot Leonard Floyd number 84 makes the tackle also Jordan Jenkins burn took it on right at the point of attack he's the one Jenkins that had to take on Copeland that'll be a story all game can the linebackers [Applause] Goten slotted behind his left tackle Mettenberger back to pass for the first time goes into the flat jeremyhill and let's give you the chick-fil-a starting lineups [Applause] thank you and here they are at four LSU Collins Alexander Porter Turner JC Copeland is a Georgia lad we talked with linebacker Jordan Jenkins they knew of each other close by high schools and now copeland is two wide receivers now the tight end comes way wide to the left Mettenberger as Jarvis Landry that's his 25th catch in four games in one possession that's good for a gain of 10 well we talked about the use of the LSU defense this is not exactly a senior Laden team one three two freshman starting one of whom is trained Matthews at a safety position this time bill is cut down Jeremy Hills coming off a career-high rushing effort 184 yards in that rain-drenched win at Tiger Stadium last Saturday night second down and seven and burn on his drive for LSU it's a little different for this season this is they were one of eight teams that had it trailed all year that's the first time that LSU has trailed in the season 2013 play-action Mettenberger rolling right being chased by Jenkins and that one intended for Beckham this tipped away by Damien Vaughn number five [Applause] did he get his arm on Beckham well oh I think so I think I'm interesting at the LSU bench very and let me get all the way down there to argue with that side because was correct sir they're down seven this LSU team has played so well on the road as you saw with that graphic here comes the Blitz Mettenberger across the middle got a man it's Katherine Boone of all people and he strolls in untouched 48 yard touchdown only his second catch of the season [Applause] so much emphasis on Beckham Junior and Landry and here comes Catherine Boone who is a senior and has played a lot but not so much apart listen you've got a ex NFL coach and Cam Cameron who's - don't bring the quarterback Zach Mettenberger and in this case Georgia just gave away the coverage it was way too easy Cody say kicks the extra point inside the right upright another look Damien Swan had the coverage but it was tipped off early right here with the safety coming up way too early he knew it from the get-go Babb technique by Swann taking an outside technique and real real slip simple there are these guys are too good even with mugger coming in there on blocked he knew he had a touchdown pass the whole way [Music] now that was impressive got it both seems impressive on their opening possessions offensively both quarterbacks impressive in their initial possessions in this games fun football watching this stuff I'd say well coached players high-level players you make a mistake it's like serving one of those 93 miles fast balls arm it felt either other team is going to hit James Hairston will kick off Reggie Davis again the deep back for the Georgia Bulldogs [Applause] [Applause] find us one hopper picked up short and back out to the 27 yard line Kyle karelis Georgia with three wide to the left side of one bottom of the screen across the middle the geysers sent it picked off by Anthony Johnson who dropped back into coverage that Marie is picked off and LSU has great great field position well LSU only rushed three players on this play and then one of the three who rushed Anthony Johnson dropped a tronics punch Anthony Johnson they're only going to be three of um excuse me I tried to Center that up Anthony Johnson comes in says he's Kia kiddo when he goes over all I might as well pack up trying to get the ball to Marshall and he backs right up into the play and so here's LSU at the 34-yard line in a 7 7 ballgame and off jeremyhill bangs over the left guard ronique Wilson who leads this team in tackles made that one 2006 going through Zach Mettenberger head after that touchdown pass just think how long he's waited to throw a touchdown passing this Stadium I mean probably since he's been six seven year old kid he saw his first game here as a seven-year-old and I think most of you know that if you're a casual college football fan perhaps you don't his mom Tammy has worked in the Georgia athletic department for 14 years here's Mettenberger rolls out he's tough to bring down [Applause] from onine here is the Georgia scene photo Erin Murphy Murray Zach Mettenberger Mettenberger signed first out of Oconee high school then Marie from Tampa sign second they were actually roommates for one semester along with offensive guard Dallas League Verizon red zone Josh Harvey Clements cut through wasn't walked and brought down Jeremy hill [Applause] Harvey's Clemens reads this boat playing quickly knifes in accelerates you just make it bounce out get credit to that defensive line forcing the hill out of his primary hole on that play second goal from the five Hill slamming inside the five nice piece of defensive work again Josh Harvey Clemens and Hiller stop short but you can see that the LLC coaching staff believes that to fall inside on Georgia [Applause] the receivers are yes they're to go it's opening quarter Landry Boone and Beckham are the three wives mrs. Travis Dixon right here a tight in lining up why that forces a linebacker to go out with them meet Wilson has run out there with Dixon Mettenberger no pressure touchdown Catherine Boone's second of the ballgame [Applause] all set up by the interception from Anthony Johnson that was great I controlled by Mettenberger he had 3 players covering - - when with one pretty easy Vern who would you throw the other guy right yeah I think there's della loosing on for the extra point and that little sliced or didn't it as it did if Ishaq Wiggins a freshman safety who was defeated on the play [Music] Mettenberger is now throwing two touchdowns in this game you take a guy with a lot of talent and you teach him take the gray out of it a lot of people can do what Zack and who could imagine him blessed old Tracy all he has to do is do his job nice job so far I think and Cam Cameron in his first year as offensive coordinator told us last night he's given too much credit for Benton burgers fantastic start to this year but it's hard to ignore that coming into this game the fourth game and five hits came two years ago Mettenberger has thrown four touchdowns two interceptions is Reggie Davis sandy [Applause] with the two touchdowns he's 12 touchdowns one interception now if you're a Florida fan you're saying okay since the Florida win two years ago in 2011 we have been on fire at home scoring points they've averaged since that game 45:17 scoring more than 40 points all the two games they should be now they've got barely a tailback and he's pretty good speaking of Georgia Craig lost him that's a game of 24 this time Dias is in number 71 replacing coal from used to number 75 you're gonna shift around keep their guys very fresh in this football game long game first down 10 two and a half to go on the opening quarter where he finds Michael Bennett oh yes [Applause] andddd coming back from a in Jersey lasted surgery missed those last half - last year you can tell that he is the guy that erinmarie feels comfortable with throwing that ball in the middle of coverages [Applause] there's been a getting in the slot top of the screen goes deep [Applause] might have been victimized for the second time [Applause] you're seeing two players that will play on Sunday Marshall Morgan with the extra card Marie answers [Applause] Kris Gartland the touchdown pass beautifully thrown for very nice piece at the end of the end zone and to reiterate the Mettenberger signed first in the recruiting class of oh nine Murray second and you know a known I an interesting story that's that you're Joe Cox was the quarterback remember Georgia started out one and for that year the suspension of AJ green and Mark Britt was telling us that you know Mettenberger was a little gangly R at that time not ready Erin Murray would have played but he had a sore arm right was not ready to play so they went the whole year with joke out that Murray's playing this year because they didn't burn the red shirt until now I got Beckham if kickoff return he's got some across the 27 and then rudely that journey is interrupted by Costa Bob les who has been a special team standout for Georgia flora final minute first quarter back-and-forth 14:14 Konnor neighbors is in it pull back that's neighbors coming bottom of the screen that burger across the middle gray [Applause] Wow this hates say it I mean it's almost unfair I mean right now cam Cameron is de Brabant plays from the Baltimore Ravens ship the full-back out against the deeps don't see the two deep safe please drop it off to the running rack and Ray Rice I mean Jeremy takes that ball and goes for it well train Matthews made the mistake of tackling here there's cam Cameron in the middle of the screen brilliant play calling boy they're games with their quarterbacks he'll cut and tackle what we talked a lot about Metin burgers his shoes Les Miles had a team vote as to whether that getting back on the team allowing I'm surprised they said yes [Music] we're back for the second quarter Verne Lundquist gary Danielson Tracy Wolfson Georgia and LSU this one has lived up to its billing great play by the quarterbacks great play by the running backs good tactical plans by both coaches and we start number two second down five Louisiana State from midfield No well with the exception of that ploy we've seen a lot of offense today seems to me Gary we've come a long way since LSU 9 Alabama 62 years ago how do you explain the profusion of points in the SEC the chip well I just think better play and more coaches dedicated to offense but experienced at quarterback like this game I mean you've got too many fell quarterbacks for NFL receivers coaches would believe in their quarterback and they're willing to call the plays I mean it's a perfect storm and then tuck that off the two defenses last year they had 15 players combined drafted in the NFL exactly Flitz up the middle same place yes parents McGee spelling jeremyhill and running back he bore the brunt of the first tackle and then this one because of the Blitz it was Leonard Floyd that put the pressure on and forced that ball out before he wanted to Navarro was the guy who defended it very nicely Jamie Keane is the new putter for LSU everybody across the country grew familiar with the awestruck when he's gone this guy can check too huh yes fair catch taken at the 9 yard line by Damien Swan this LSU team is allowing 1.2 yards per punt return [Applause] [Music] there's one point there's another nice Barrera all right Tim thank you it's 14 all let's go down to Tracy Wolfson well guys you saw it it was that left ankle they took his shoe off they looked at it they taped it with a little black tape and then he jogged into the locker room which was pretty good news except I was just now all right tres thank you and jogging with a noticeable lift Keith Marshall will carry the load gift and john chavis doing his signature bear front three alignment inside defense rock it defends he loves to go to when the other team is able to run the ball and Georgia is the first team that's been able to run the ball in this game they're now over a hundred yards rushing you look at the rushing game for LSU nothing so far when you factor in the sacks they're what four yards rushing the whole game so LSU has not been able to hunt first sense of a weakness in the game tell us you can't stop - huh kid natural and he goes over the left side my co Eugene of the 34 makes the stop but they'll move the chains again inside following the big fullback Merritt Hall that time second level before anybody even got a hand on him heat marshall out of Raleigh North Carolina [Applause] come left with a cost gets a break back and marshallers pushed out of bed with a first and goal Georgia Dallas Lee also helped clear the way same place that Georgia has been running since Vince Dooley was coaching here black down follow the fullback it worked 25 years ago and it works today [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] zone diving try incomplete Justin Scott Wesley did he start to slip before the ball got there on his break let's see if Scott Wesley stumbled out of his cut that time caught it out of the corner of my eye I think he's right here is the guy that Bennett's gonna come inside and he tripped over the legs that time of Ronald Martin I thought I that would have been a touchdown had he not stumbled over the legs of Martin that brings on Marshall Morgan 1 of 2 for the year low snap good hold kick is up Adam Erickson was the holder did a nice job but take another look at that stumble good catch a perfect read again Bennet comes inside taken by the linebacker you got an easy throw to the back line should have been a touchdown but little stumble cost you four points the mayor 17:14 here as you look down on Sanford Stadium constructed in 1929 for a former president and Chancellor dr. Steadman v Sanford it was his idea to construct the stadium was also his idea to install the hedges jhooth did you study all that now just that one okay I was stuck in traffic go trying to do the elephant to the team last night he wanted to talk firstly to cancel camera nice kid yeah words yeah don't you wonder thirty-four five wine stunts defensively Mettenberger across the middle caught first down Odell Beckham jr. we saw this firsthand when Zach Mettenberger basically turned his career around that time he threw in traffic he was getting rushed inside by Ray Drew that time Alabama fans remember him making those third down throws courageously just like [Applause] off the shoulders of jeremy hill fourth and seven I wonder if they'll just go for downs here rather they hunt [Applause] Vauban hi baalbek quick be about a 48-yard field goal from here they are going to bring on dela who see now he's get for this year but they have been from 23 28 23 and 25 yards now free Shay the holder hasn't injured me so I don't think we're going to see him up on a fake 48 yards snap is very good the kick is on the way it is good [Applause] to watch less with his patented hand clap and we have a tie game a good football game both defenses adjusted a little bit quarterbacks are still playing and the coaches got a right where they want the most important thing is his Todd Gurley in the house and he's coming is he coming back here on the field to play these last three or four minutes over they hold them to the second half or leave me able to play at all well he is back and still limping it look like he's gonna play and you could always see them already the ramifications Brendan Douglas is carrying the ball instead of Keith Marshall in that situation as a sub James Hairston will kick off Reggie Davis again the deep back [Applause] davus moves over he's three yards into the end zone bring it out if he gets open but he does not and does not get back to the 20 [Applause] play-action he goes deep less there's often it's karma yoga Chris Conley born in Turkey raised for the most part in Southern California matched up with Jalen Collins on the bottom of the screen number 32 back shoulder throw that time perfect throw Chris Carly's dad was a 20 year Air Force vet and I must say we spent time with Chris Conley yesterday he is about as impressive a college football player as any of us have come across wonderful young man Jesus [Applause] really don't know what was happening here corner takes the short man gives up the outside receiver way too quick that time and Reggie Davis gets a gift nice read by that via Erin Murray but that time Ronald Martin just you know did not play it well you got to stay deep and come up on the short pass spotted at the to keep in mind Todd Gurley is on the bench with an injury Marshall gives the running back swinging left including Bret McGowen number George has a timeout they can run the wall [Applause] surges forward did he get across he apparently did not plenty of time they can keep that in their pocket and run one more quick play if they can get off they kid and if they do that quickly they still have a run pass option here 26 seconds to go giorgia heck of a draw see if they used the time up there they can't really run the ball again it's too dangerous to half put in but by getting up there quickly and running it they had the run pass option beautiful drive by Murray and Georgia we John theists did a nice job number 71 that time John pious marshal Morgan 9 plays 82 yards [Applause] 24:17 that last 82 yard drive critical let's go down to Tracy with Les Miles thanks a lot certainly coach not the way you wanted to go into half what can you say about the breakdown there by your defense well we got to tackle those backs through there they're really catching this a little bit in tempo Levin the catching this not ready we got to make sure that we get our calls and quickly and get ready to play if we do that we'll tackle law how about you our backs just 15 rushing yards in this first half how do you get that corrected and how important is it well very important I think there's some adjustments that we need to make it half time certainly in come out and see if we can rush the ball a little better second half thanks a lot all right Tracy thank you that's the end of the first half our score 24 17 Georgia now let's go to Tim Brando in our New York studio and so we're getting set for the third quarter 24:17 moments ago Tracy with coach Mark Richt coach can you give us an update on Todd Gurley and his status I sprained his ankle I don't know how bad it is I'm not sure he can go we'll just have to see what about this last Drive very impressive going into the half how do you keep that momentum going going into these last 30 minutes well hopefully you start out playing good defense they're giving us good field position and you know getting us in a position where we can keep the momentum offensively as well but you know those Darrent they're a championship team over there they've won SCC s and national championships in the last a little bit so they're probably exciting the ride over there they're Locker them so we better get ready appreciate it thanks so much well these two teams have met three different times in the SEC championship game in Atlanta most recently I think marks a good poker player because girl he's gonna have a tough time playing with a pad yeah you're right well he'll provide a little enthusiasm for his teammates remember LSU won the toss and deferred they do get the ball to start the third quarter [Applause] and fix it [Applause] about it and then decided to pull up two yards short so it'll be a touchback thoughts on the first half 13 13 yards rushing for LSU come on not gonna do it it mean they need to help Zach a lot more than that at quarterback we talked about this game both coaches believe this league is won by winning the line of scrimmage Georgia has won the line of scrimmage with their defense and their offensive line defense yeah I think LSU Shaq you know usually we have a lot of shots of JC Koch from the fullback hitting guys we haven't had one point like that in this football game well they do aren't up in the eye to start the second half that copeland is the full-back Mettenberger goes deep left side nice defensive play out there Wow that's the freshman Brandon Langley [Applause] times out right and that was that time a perfect play to the outside that's how you play defense Langly one a three true freshman starting defensively from suburban Atlanta the city of Marietta Georgia see the stats on Mettenberger 10 of 16 it's going to be tough to see I mean Zach Mettenberger is it going to be up to him to do the whole game on his back they will run the draw this time up the middle big hole and kill gallops for 11 yards and a first down let's take a look Gary at first after Trev well you know there's been a little bit of pressure on Zach Mettenberger he's nothing but some nice plays Aaron Murray had that great last Drive to finish over off the first half the rushing game has been the start they're really been able to run the ball Georgia being able to run the ball and as I said 13 yards that I mean when you factor that if you're LSU earn the tapes that LSU watched was the Alabama game last year SEC lbm rushed for 350 Nebraska in the bowl game 204 clemson to open 197 in South Carolina losing rushed for 226 13 yards that's not going to get [Music] the wanna scrimmage and is inside the 35 yard line [Music] a true freshman on the too deep and 12 players made their first career start both of these squads have relied on the freshman class LSU has played 14 so far Georgia 13 third and two hello she's done a good job on third down six for nine Alfred blue this split wide right just don't think that George's lined up right again this day pan overthrown fourth and two he Swain again is porting like where's my safety to start play watch Swain over here he's going where's the good right back here he's pointing pointing on the other side of the fields you see Langley say what's going on definitely a busted coverage and they got away from it got away with it excuse me that rings on della Lucy who had a long one earlier in this ballgame set through che is the holder and reap Ferguson will snap at this from 39 they made one from 49 five four the longest of his career this one looks good it smoking but it looks after it goes through the uprights well that was a successful drive for LSU because they showed they can run the ball yes Georgia gotta stop but for Les Miles he said I got to get my quarterback some help Aaron Murray your balls 24:20 Georgia still leads the school down to Tracy Wolfson thanks burn we heard Margaret telling me that Todd Gurley is out for now with that left ankle scream he's out here on the sidelines though in a booth with notepad so it does not look like he is returning anytime soon but it does seem it is just a precautionary measure he is out here he is laughing and he's telling his teammates I am fine I am that's the king all right tres thank you I was an effective Drive for the LSU Tigers to open they had to settle for three instead of seven but Reggie Davis is back to return James Hairston's kickoff if he is given the opportunity davus this will be returnable from the nannies after the 21 [Applause] [Applause] Chris Conley how about Stephanie's in time how about that today via swipe number 16 the true freshman has good coverage on [Applause] exactly the way you're taught when that pose in the air you're supposed to slide your rear end right in front of the defender and keep them on your back [Applause] course Marshall inside the 40 wave on Hicks with one of the key blocks it's a gain of seven coming right out to the outside that time following that fullback again was at hall merit Hall number 43 again excuse me visit Hicks quick nod Hicks 48 good fullback play if you're gonna run the ball from the I formation you got to have a fullback both teams do an old-fashioned football Ignis and they're in the eye again - why is the handoff to Marshall he's not good call here now for mark Brittany Johnson yes get me over a 50-yard field goal or will they go for will they punt he close to what 55 yard field goal attempt allowed well the career long for Marshall Morgan is 52 [Applause] look who's back there at the field goal returner heaves he's listed on the depth chart is Odell Beckham has missed field goal returns vessels because he had one of a hundred yards earlier here [Applause] my goodness [Applause] morgen I made that flipping by 10 yards [Applause] [Music] [Applause] check for helium but del Beckham said I don't have a chance on this one my gracious now I'm just reminded looking around Gary that Mark Richt did call for the fans to all wear red here they listen they did my gracious [Applause] except for the purple and gold folks Odell Beckham jr. he'll return it [Music] and a hurdle a defender to get out of bounds while Alice you proved they could run the ball last series let's see if they're going to try to get Beckham and Landry and Boone back in this football game Kenny Hilliard is making his first appearance number 27 so we've seen each of the quartet period is the last to make an appearance they do use all four though the featured back now is Hill and just an interesting footnote at some point in their career Hill blue Magee as each run over a hundred yards in again second and seven Crossing Rowdies yeah the 50-yard line [Applause] and the formation into the salad line and then just cross underneath one of those undercuts off play-action pass get the ball to your playmakers you're up against linebackers and you have one of those big linebackers chasing a time Jake first in ten just inside the 40 million from a Mettenberger going it's incomplete most by catering boolean who's got two touchdown receptions today and then three Matthews at safety [Music] it's been nicknamed already by his teammates trigger great yeah it was a great throw great defense and I didn't get it a free shot on him it wasn't the defense's player I think he went through the ball he wasn't trying to lay them out good play by everybody Georgia mixed up defensively now nobody's covered the guy up to the top of the screen that's amazing Mettenberger goes down the middle perfect let's the tackle touchdown giorgia again discombobulated on defense I don't think they had any idea what defense they were running on that play you see him even after the play talking to each other della who see ought to tie this one up with 342 go third quarter what a throw just as good as the throw that was broken up before [Music] we're not at 27 we gave trach Clemens the credit for defending the play before he's back here this is Josh Harvey Clemens right here right in between them but there was such a mix-up to the other side of the field and I don't know if Georgia knew exactly what they were doing on the play now let's take a look from behind Zach Mettenberger we can throw the ball candy a 35-yard dart right down the middle of the Landry we wondered when LSU figure out a way to get Beckham and Landry in the game they did that was third and nine and LSU is now seven out of 11 and third down conversions very reminiscent of the performance that Zach put out against Alabama tied at 27 [Applause] Reggie Davis third and seven here in contrast to LSU Georgia Nuttall men effective on third downs not effective August that is not good it wasn't cold there jaelyn Mills this time doing the defendant [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they're hitting but they're not calling it you just gonna have to go through it well come on this has not been cold all day we're not saying it's not gonna be called but it hasn't been called went to Sanford Stadium in a wrestling match more than seven well that's two or three examples of what [Music] call up a Benton burger head 1ls we had one early George's guy indeed [Applause] your surest player on the field it hits his facemask opportunity to get the football there but didn't come up with it and Beckham misses it and Connor Norman grabs you see who hit him 69 threat Fritz the snaps but he but he missed it before that thought he dropped that ball freely wasn't on the hip he'd moth to punt and so after 20 [Applause] 247 that's daniil hunter number 94 verne well that was unexpected yeah a little bit of karma there as you were saying that should have been passed interference on the place I did I would not assert myself not saying you weren't right it's just that pitch has not been called a strike all that there you go Marshall and limine barrel makes the stop [Applause] following the two big guys inside Li barrel comes across sorts it out makes the play this trips formation has been giving LSU trouble all day [Applause] Georgia touchdown [Applause] LSU is the most defensive backs in the NFL they could use a few [Applause] that's about as easy as you can do it Marty in the slot nobody covers him what are you doing me to Eugene he just let some are on right fire well the sea of red has sent waves lapping over the stadium yes I concur [Applause] beckham again [Applause] [Music] first down at the 30 way clock down to three just dude beat it here's Hill between left guard and left tackle well we started the day talking about these two one-time roommates and for the day now 15 of 23 for 234 Mettenberger 14 of 25 each his phone for three touchdowns you know what I want to say pretty good recruiting by Georgia a few years ago rock that's right hear them both those guys second down five now we set in the open burn it's going to come down to the fourth quarter with the quarterback said he sure isn't Hill breaks the tackle at the line of scrimmage and fauces the 40 sterling daily is the fellow who missed the tackle number 58 bounces this one way outside play was designed to go between the cards I believe and he bounced it all the way out left side that's really what that I formation gives you the jeep tailback both Schembechler would love that one wouldn't Mettenberger right side brings him down from behind five Damien's 117 yards on that one as the troops formation has really helped Georgia the stack twin formation where both Landry and Beckham are together has given the Georgia defense problem now that'll be the end of three [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 3427 we're back at one of the best scenes in all of college football Sanford Stadium on a Saturday afternoon we begin the fourth Verne Lundquist gary Danielson Tracy Wolfson with you we had hoped for a close encounter guess what we got one yeah but just about everybody called this high scoring offenses are better than the defenses and been just about what everybody thought yeah and so it comes down to the fourth quarter first out of ten LSU [Music] this is this tight twin formation that has given George a little trouble Beckerman Landry that's fixing the tight-end McGee is the running back now play-action Mettenberger again no passwords [Applause] it's a great play by the safety coming in frost that time I think it was Harvey Clemens [Applause] ball was put in the right spot Harvey Clemens comes right into the midsection doesn't sheep shot him good defense he had a second down and 10 mentioned at the opening of the afternoon telecast LSU has won seven and lost six in Sanford Stadium one of the few teams who's coming what's that Mettenberger he thought he was too [Applause] turning Jenkins have gone didn't yes [Applause] he roomed with Jarvis Jones he tweets Jarvis Jones and Jarvis Jones woulda made that's on 3ds that's the text he's going to get tomorrow yeah he'll hear from Jarvis Jones third would have been the stop for one defensive stop to make a play both receivers nearside three-man rush Mettenberger deep in the middle what a play Wow Jarvis Landry came off does he have to leave for one client depends of the defender knocked it off but even if he does it's worth it the ball again put in a perfect position you can't throw it any better Cam Cameron calls it throwing the receiver open that's exactly what happened that's a 25-yard gain and a first and goal Kenny Hilliard is back in what a beautiful play Jr for the tea maybe the one [Applause] [Music] [Music] Hilliard still the tailback JC Copeland is to pull back on second down this is the 11th play of the drive for a touchdown hotel yes you untouched and celebrates with his teammate JC Coplin how about that third down throw that catch great execution a delete quarterback play for the athletes LSU old sir [Applause] the leaven plays 70 yards for 16 who sees extra-point ties it up 34 thirty-four [Music] that third down play is worth another look okay brilliant yeah actually Todd Grantham that time had a trick defense on sack thought it was too deep but to shift this way he throws the ball into between three Georgia defenders watch the ship to the middle of the field he has the defense on that he wants but he throws a perfect ball we'll return to Sanford Stadium with the Djokovic and the doll to this in the fourth quarter with a lot of time left I'm thinking back her early in the game we had those two sound bites from Zack and Erin Murray about each other right I remember Erin said we used we battled for about two years for this job well if today was a battle for the job between Zack and Erin I don't know how you choose between these tickets bring Joe Cox back oh that's not nice five minute search everybody loves you [Applause] Reggie Davis so here we are at 12 17 remaining heavyweight bad indeed [Applause] Connolly [Music] Flannery rules out he'll keep it he's got thirty-five yesterday he said did you guys notice that I had 37 yards rushing last week yes and without Gurley he might be the guy that gives Georgia enough Russian to keep that offense going [Music] [Applause] first and 15 Murray [Applause] [Music] dewayne was intended for Connolly very nice play that time wasn't by Quan Alex I line backer dropping back second and 15 in a tie game with under nine to play [Applause] no chance Gendron Alexander said who will step up and make a play number twenty-five said I just made two of them now he's enter getting the starting today because Taj Jones pulled a hamstring last week Alexander came into that game against Auburn and had ten tackles so Matt's third and 16 after 20 last time third an 11-2 gave up a touchdown they're much softer zone here is in the shop to the left intended to Bennet so now don't have to settle for the tribe for three with marshal Morgan after that first down there and it was first into ten from the 15-yard line that was pretty bad polly was ugly just ugly plays right in a row that one are lucky it didn't get tipped and intercept first high throw really bad throw that Erin Murray's made all day 38-yard er marshal Morgan she's gonna snap this that's perfect for Morgan [Applause] 37:34 Phil interesting time of the game LSU beckham he will bring it out from about four yards in these temples you know I don't think with 8 minutes to go in the fourth quarter you can really think clock I mean it'd be nice to rabbit a seven minute drive and score the touchdown but I think you also gotta balance that with maybe if we go a little faster we'll get the ball back I mean one thing they know if anybody's going to score next it's got to be LSU Georgia gets the ball back up three they might not get it back again interesting how quiet Georgia was on offense inside the 20 and now they start raising jeremyhill desert scene action in the last series of food this is somewhere not to be Jordan Jenkins with a sack I heard a whistle I think this was a messed up yeah nobody blocked on that time there was a lot of calls and check with knees and switching out fries before the snap and you mentioned out loud it was LSU obviously the offensive lineman and Collins did not hear it that is Jenkins first sack of the season well now they bother businessman nice ball think LSU recover remember we mentioned Gary how George Jones and Jenkins are quitting e-tailers Jarvis Jones is getting honey without those facts now look at Kenny Jr's recovered it now the noise [Applause] Louis units dismissed all that cannot take [Applause] have to take the time out I tried a ticket five-yard penalty they now remaining I mean what's the difference third and what is it twenty-third and twenty-three or third and twenty-eight I want my time out [Applause] usually here's in Death Valley on Saturday night instead of Sanford [Applause] if they make this this place of those stone 23 three daddy Mettenberger drills it right sides one side Beckham he's got it my gosh the news laws of offense I guess [Applause] how about that data's 23 got 24 I mean not only that the defense was lined up right at 23 yards and still let him get open rules to change everything's different now great throw great play and now they're in a position maybe run this thing out and put points on the board Mettenberger again the crossing [Applause] and now they're at the 35-yard line [Music] [Applause] same play as various one told you Sacha's looks at that outside linebacker to the left the ghost with the tight end he drops the receiver coming across under five same formation two receivers top of the screen play-action it's Beckham and he's down to the seven yard line [Applause] Berger's living out of a dream is in a Georgia helmet and colors but he's now doing it marilla's you 354 yards passing and Butch Jones told me that he thought he had Mettenberger signed at Cincinnati but Zach told them I want to play Georgia that's why I'm going to LSU I want one opportunity to play Georgia the hill she has gone on top and 23 yep same play they scored with before bouncing it out to the outside Hey look basically a walk-in think about how that drive started yes dela bruz a will hold [Applause] and the Tigers lead by four [Music] third and 23 well I'm back here saying the strategy should have been to save a timeout and they got that one but then they came to Beckham later to get it in position to score and then the pitch to come to the outside for the touchdown [Music] nothing to it third at 23 [Music] rather extraordinary drive by the LSU Tigers as for the fifth time they reclaimed the lead it's 41 37 there's the man of the hour Zach Mettenberger he's now thrown for 354 yards but Erin Murray is going to have one more chance in this renewal of a battle between the two whom as we said were once roommates for one semester this one Georgia has two timeouts remaining o'clock at 4:14 [Applause] [Applause] Justin Scott Wesley made the catch and then tiptoed out of bounds to stop the clock Jalen Mills went for the football got there just a bit late you know the three-man rush did not work for Georgia does not appear it's working for LSU let's see when Chavis decides to turn them loose whether this one is caught by Arthur Lynch [Applause] out to the 45 3:45 ago this is like when we last left you Georgia plane Alabama they had a joke just like this yes that's right second one [Music] [Applause] [Music] has the first down that'll stop the clock momentarily and ego Ferguson david andrews had a little push and pull the end of the play 41:37 [Applause] unless you would one timeout remaining in Georgia has to Mike Bobo says Mark Richt always stays calm his team follows that lead and he says that's why we were able to stay calm and these two minute drives three-man rush again Murray the time goes back to Lynch over the middle [Applause] I think you look better LSU's deep safeties are lining up 20 yards deep the linebackers are dropping to 15 yards and with you know two and a half minutes three minutes to go in the game Erin Murray saying thank you very much I'll just drop it off and get it to the 50 yard line here's Murray JJ green the freshmen use alongside him still playing [Applause] database a nice call that time it's one of those calls but doesn't work everybody thinks what are you doing here [Applause] Dallas Lee the left guard lived away JJ green the number three back and out comes gates change at the left tackle that's a big change marked beard and Mettenberger can only watch now at the two-minute mark from 225 [Applause] Marie Justin stop Leslie [Applause] I did not think Gary that we would approach 49-42 that we had with the Alabama A&M game 85 points in this game Jalen Mills and Craig Mostyn great I controlled by the quarterback watch him all to safety in the middle and get the ball down the sideline Horner to safety hold the safety then throw it see how it broke lost and broke to the middle of the field and that was all the I control by Murray fusing that safety with his eyes and making the great throw to the outside but but too much timeless 147 [Applause] Maria's gone for four touchdowns today second is the beat man [Applause] the kicks short at the seventh brother he was oh so close to breaking that one in all of the dreams that Zach Mettenberger ever had going to junior college transferring working hard to get it do you ever think he dreamed this much this is a big dream have the ball down three and here he comes grew up in Watsonville played for Oconee County high school had three different head coaches in his three years now he's under the tutelage of Cam Cameron and he's facing a hostile team and a hostile environment giorgia brings four unemployed again the two outside bookends Floyd Jenkins when Jordan jaqen said you know what there come [Applause] we've ever treated together unless you took a time out I guess right what's that boy I wonder for they took the time out because zach was dazed [Applause] they have none remaining [Music] Oh point is he's flipped Swift with two offensive lineman and results in a loss of seven [Applause] well Jenkins had a sack earlier right and now Floyd gets a sack remember Jenkins earlier had that opportunity to make the interception just before the last touchdown didn't make it we wondered who would make the big play is that the big play we've already seen I'm not going there I'm just thinking and it's missed our Donny look at second 17 if they lose six more [Applause] obviously they got for chance they get three more downs to make the first down across the middle date clock by Beckham nope geez Wow two NFL receivers and a crossing route Terry Bradshaw's favorite play I do that right I didn't know about it sick yeah please Swan John Stallworth go across the middle I don't care if there's three guys there I'll hit you with the football there's the snap on first down across the middle incomplete is their flag there is they're not calling those two no there are not you have to admit that they've been consistent all day that was intended for Jarvis Landry and let's say we we talked about this being a heavy weight balance they are letting them work it out to the milk sticky check interference second of the Catholic Oh eight [Applause] and Beckham nearside hey dragoon top of the screen that's Dixon the tight end back to supply blocking Hill Mettenberger have one took back I think it was the rage room might have got his hand on that not sure I think it was penetration the Georgia defense is running stunts they're getting pressure into the pocket even when they don't get a [Applause] Delarue she is the placekicker for felicity [Applause] let's optimally Mettenberger across the middle incomplete is there a flag there is try to show a little bit I know it's just a towel down I believe I think was number 25 Barbie Clemens did and you know you've got to again the defensive bachelor not calling it he can be physical and he was to predict could be wrong again but I said anything Georgia will not crush three that's dictum oh my gosh Mettenberger humans incomplete enjoy [Applause] doesn't get the sack but he lays out on the play he could feel the pressure from the NA a Leonard Floyd number 84 as well and enforced the throw hi Jenkins and 84 Floyd Beckham's slipped on the play but I think the ball was too hot I don't think we had been caught no matter what [Applause] Marie will take a knee you cannot stop it we called it today that this is a game where you got to measure up and you take measure in this gang I'll tell you both quarterbacks measured up well the dream evolved into a bit of a nightmare for Mettenberger but boy what heart it was and the park there as well [Applause] and let's go down to Tracy who's with a couple of people who played a rather significant role in this game well guys a very emotional scene here coach I see you're tearing up what did you just say to Erin Murray they're still most proud of them you know booth those quarterbacks played their tail off very impressive but just so thankful you also had a great moment with Zach Mettenberger what did you say to him tell him the same thing out of him hell of a player this caps off a ridiculous September your team had what does it say about this team and where they stand right now I just love them a part of them the coaches these fans are unbelievable no one does it better than Georgia thanks a lot god bless everybody on this on this in this stadium thank you so much and these fans weren't really amazing and this is what quarterbacks dream of what can you say about your effort again that Mettenberger is effort today it wasn't me verse AK it was University Georgia versus LSU in and I just took five of our guys for fighting hard all day long on offense defense we've been through a lot this the season so far make it's hard to believe it's only been four games and and this is one tough tough team and I'm just so proud of my guys right now what does it say about your team though where you guys stand and and your hopes and dreams for the rest of the season we feel like we have everything in front of us still we just got to keep working keep getting better and keep winning we appreciate the time congratulations enjoy it thank you all right Tracy corvax really led their football team and those two guys you know they've gotten their share of criticism through their career they hung in together and that's why I think you saw that emotional Mark Richt with his quarterback and so it was the come from behind took a little over two minutes what a wonderful ballgame [Applause]
