2019 MEAC Football: Florida A&M vs South Carolina State

[Music] welcome to Orangeburg South Carolina you're watching ESPN college football presented by McDonald's and all importantly and match up from the Palmetto State a couple of undefeated in conference play going head to head for the am taking on South Carolina State as we say hello and welcome in how would a University former Howard University of NFL quarterback Jay Walker I'm Tiffany Greenwald today is loaded with significance as buddy Pugh is on the brink of becoming South Carolina state's all-time winningest coach not only that you add to it a very important and pivotal conference game day HBCU program which South Carolina State is the very first African American head football Division one coach was Willie Jeffries he came from South Carolina State he's the school's all-time winningest coach buddy who has an opportunity to break his record today and as a coach there's nothing more meaningful than winning a game like that that's historic with the key crucial conference big there is a lot that sells this game today in addition to that quarterbacks I know you'd like to talk about that they're coming off of great performances but we'll see to QPS with contrasting styles absolutely starting off with Florida A&M signal caller Ryan Stanley he's got the ability to make all the throws needed on the football field but the key thing for Stanley his decision-making he goes the right place with the football at key times in the game ten touchdown only two interceptions on the day if he plays Ryan Stanley like football today look for the Rattlers gonna have a great opportunity they're walking away with a victory now the Bulldogs have the develop signal caller and Tyrese Nick the most improved passer in the Mid Eastern Athletic Conference is to having the ability now to hurt defenses with his arm but make no doubt about it he's the hardest-working person on the South Carolina State football team when he gets it going throwing the ball and running he's a true dual threat quarterback had a school record five touchdowns and last week's win over Delaware State also picked up 105 yards on the ground Stanley also did his thing as well with four TVs so this one should be an interesting quarterback battle but again one of the big story is coming out of today's game Oliver buddy Pugh in position to become the all-time winningest coach at South Carolina State currently sitting at a hundred and twenty eight wins tied with Willie Jeffries for that top spot of Orangeburg South Carolina native through and through he's been through this program and for decades more than that here with the Bulldogs the Dean of all coaches in the Mid Eastern Athletic Conference the longest tenured coach in the MEAC going against one of the young young up-and-comer and Willie Simmons on the opposite side line where Willie Simmons in his second year of the will lynnium taking it to Tallahassee and look he brought a winning season to the capital city of Florida a year ago again his team is off to a really hot start for and one overall and as I mentioned undefeated in the conference [Music] this is all the makings Jay we've been talking about this game we've been looking forward to this game and I think black college football fans have as well this is a must-see matchup this weekend it isn't we talk about just the elder statesman going against one of the young guns well these are two contrasting football teams South Carolina state notoriously likes to beat up on their nests with Willie Simmons as the head coach and the offensive coordinator he likes picking apart defenses and I know he's looking forward to your challenges all right George Webb feels it after this kickoff across the 20-yard line and that's where the Rattlers will get going as Ryan Stanley this year signal color for Florida AM is closing in on history as well could be the all-time sir 27 yards away from doing so that would break when the Braves record so we'll keep an eye out on that first play from scrimmage for the Rattlers the handoff to Bishop Bob Oh Bob it is Aloha back hello welcome George Burke's at Carolina Thank You Dwayne Nichols what did I say I gave this guy report but here South Carolina State has been able to out physical their team and that's a reason why you come into Orangeburg you expect hard hits even from back when I played trying to spring this outside and Duane Nichols lowers the boom on Richard's sophomore out of Lakeview South Carolina hometown of Darius Leonard second play the hand off once more bonnet spins off and again hit hard and driven down into the ground a pickup up one the Kobe Durant was in there on the stop along with John L brown prime establish controlled the lines prematurely the Bulldogs are playing throwback South Carolina State football well that was one of the conversations that we had with both of the coaches that this game could potentially come down to home wins it in the trenches and that offensive line at the Florida A&M has to do a good job of not only protecting Ryan Stanley but also opening up holes for Bishop on it and Stanley just falls down on that snap as Jalen Spady the sinner starting before the Rattlers and not the way they would have wanted to start a loss of 10 there that brings up fourth down and you see the snap just never comes up and spade it was a last-minute substitution at that center position there and Stanley fortunate enough to get to recover his own fumble given opportunity first team ap all-american a season ago Christopher do him out of Tampa Florida that area and he gets it boots in a booming leg for him on the return South Carolina State is readying you Robinson just near the 45 yard line [Applause] Tyrese Nick we've told you about him in the open we'll get a good chance to look at him out of Johnston South Carolina six passing TDs on the year you said he's much improved that throwing game yeah just as Delaware State v you start you get it going everybody knows he can run it's got to work on this completion percentage though to see the rushing numbers anywhere close to what he did last week this office becomes a potent LeBron Bors joins them in the backfield montrezl burrows man in motion top of your screen watch out for him as Morris trying to find a little bit of Running Room was able to pick up anything there is dick decides to tuck it and run again that's what he can do so well but I think all eyes will be on him as the Rattlers defense will try to throw wild different looks at him today the defense called Nick was able to take something and pick up some positive guard on third down this is well defense nowhere to go look out there's on the Jets Terry Jefferson was the first man to get to him and grab that jersey third and seven now and jumping off sides where the Rattlers here's that free play and the incompletion but it will likely go in favor of the Bulldogs can't afford to make these type of mistakes when you're on the road and playing a very good football team think about it and seven I'm not gonna make it tonight give them 30 short and by them crossing the 50-yard line this becomes four down territory advantage of the miscue by the 44 yard line loses the line to gain for South Carolina State right there at the point of attack and there's the defense of bam you Derrick Mayweather the junior out of Fort Worth Texas Texas was the first agreement a loss of one what a great job of timing a snap by Derrick Mayweather coach described him as an old-school linebacker run stuffer he finds a crease shoots the gap and makes a tackle for a loss huge play [Music] he felt like he was doing for a breakout year now for three cliff Benjamin Han to punt for the Bulldogs back to receive as in de ray standing at just near the 10 yard line short punt but takes a friendly bulldog bounce inside the 10 yard line and will step aside quickly after that 37-yard punt we'll see you back here in Orangeburg because fastest network for iPhones more for your thing that's our thing ESPN college football is presented by McDonald's we're interestingly enough today we talked about great quarterback play between these two teams and yet neither has attempted to pass yet but Ryan Stanley back on the field as a rattler offense starts inside their own 10-yard line the first pass attempt incomplete on the outside to David Mann ago and I like that gotta get him going no you're not gonna win this football game if Ryan's family doesn't have a big day get them going Paul a 3-step drop the short pass then let him make a quick decision just a little bit inaccurate but you want them to get the jitters out now whereas the more books he sees of the South Carolina statements more company 300 yards of that win over North Carolina Central Drive homecoming we should bonnet was shipped on his way outside and again good team defense from the Bulldogs Simmons saying think he recognized early we can't run north-south again South Carolina State they're trying to spread the field east-west sideline the sideline looking for crease Simmons the play caller for the Rattlers now third and 11 we see if South Carolina State can disrupt the pocket the three-man pass rush or do they bring pressure from the outside big number 91 Roger Perry instead flinging it away was Ryan Stanley with pressure and his face and just as you mentioned Jay yes they were able to do so successfully they showed him the three-man look but they had no intention of only rushing three defensive linemen at Ryan's down when they brought to my back he did a great job of shooting the gap DJ Davis they're excited about freshmen a little bit of Darius Lynn it will be scary for the rest of accomplished padule back on the field this time out of his own end zone gets it away near pressure from the Bulldogs but this one falls in the hands of burrows and burles still on his feet until he's dragged out of bounds so great field position starting field position on the second drive for South Carolina State take away one floor day men's best weapons which has been crisper door we talked about the ability to change the bat of field position well the duel with a nice kick with an even better return montrezl burrows the burrows is a guy who's been all over the field is senior for this group but he's really stayed through the highs and lows of his programs with his head coach bud Eve used you know seeing some good days and some bad days but now they're on the uptick I would say something about Burroughs he stands out on field he can play his senior year he's been riding up defensive secondary make with pressure and his face able to get away from a few defenders but not able to outrun marques Belle Belle a guy that Willie Simmons and this staff really high on pachuco transferred and he could do everything he's that dude they love myself you know he's an all-american he's only been on campus for about four weeks he said second and 11 and thus far it's been a good defensive battle between these two teams [Music] Nik trying to find his man on the outside and targeted Shaq Davis Davis for those freshman that buddy few is really excited about the inking impasse and Eric Smith was there on the coverage this school does deep into the six yards to get here on this third down either defense has given up much got a working on everything here today in this bin little conference matchup Nick surveying the field with time and now rush eke out stutter steps and he's brought down by Elijah Richardson Richardson and on the tackle fifth year senior out of Port Saint Lucie Florida range Nick did just enough to pick up some yards to 13 position go for it on fourth down so Jay if people believe it's just over eight and a half minutes into this game and already a big decision with a big play here from orange birth 4/6 on thorns downs this season for the Bulldogs and right there and absolutely nowhere to go as Tyrese that could not avoid the rush the white jerseys kept coming his way Isaiah land was right there with them the speed of Florida A&M defensively is given the offensive line from South Carolina State trouble they cannot protect their quarterback it's good an athlete as he is you see them slicing in red jerseys on the ground not a good sign up front the South Carolina State turnover on downs and for FAMU they have to look at how they get going on off it's six plays thus far negative ten yards once they get it going they're gonna get it going and hurt and I still think I'm forcing the passing game right now we're on Stan [Music] Stanley tries to go from an ago and almost picked off that way just off the hands of man ago Cornelius Walker I was headed off the deflection this is one of those games where Stanley may have to throw a 45 50 times it's gonna be that hard to run the football there and good coverage in the secondary three receivers to the top of your screen Stanley looking to his right and going back left once more David man ago and pinball man still holds on to the football across midfield and a first down and that's confident to the quarterback same the same defense but this time Stanley anticipated a little bit sooner able to thread that needle with a big first down completion twenty yard catch keeps this drive going for the Rattlers is Ryan Stanley we mentioned inching in on the company all-time leading passer terms of yards for Florida am quick sling out once more to the left side Duane Nichols is there to stop David man ago from going too far that was a huge breath it's gonna show up as a small completion but they brought the cornerback blitz from the weak side Stanley saw it got rid of the ball right away instead of taking a sack they would have get a completion for five yard pickup and that's what things really Simmons talked about that he's been able to fight better decisions as he's matured from the quarterback position the pitch out to Devon Kendrick with Kendrick with not much room to run Jacoby Durant was right there trying to cost the field thanks man Robert for sure this completion puts him over the top but this one is whistled dead after because knee was down but that does it Ryan Stanley now the all-time leader in career passing yards surpassing went grave high school congratulations to Ryan's family I'm a thrown shout out so I know it's quarterback coach so I'll be giving a shout out to Ryan Collins former quarterback competitor of mine train line stands congratulations to those two or getting it done job well done now let's see if he brought into the W screen he's got a man wide open but hung up there a little bit too long and the pass broken up great recovery in that secondary for the Bulldogs all right Stanley this is one you missed got a call like I see it this was great separation by the slot receiver let this ball go and you'll see he's behind the secondary not when you get the safety back far in front of you and there was a guy that was deeper than him that was the intended target that I thought he saw late was Stanley now with 7300 and 84 yards that is a program best you'll see what he's able to add to today gets the ball away quickly as pressure coming up the middle just gets rid of it now third and 10 for Stanley coming up from Pembroke Pines Florida which is getting closer to that South Florida area making his way to the Panhandle and is really coming to his own in Tallahassee he's seen a number of different head coaches but Willie Simmons who is a former quarterback himself at Clemson was able to really take him under his wing [Applause] Stanley stays and tough Kendrick is right there Devon Kendrick able to pick up the first down and the Rattlers keep going this is how you play quarterback right you can show me some guys I can throw the football but I want the guys gonna stand you're tough and deliver a catchable ball with the blitzing linebacker coming you know they say he stared death in his face he knows he's gonna get hit watch this that guy's got a beat on all the way I'm still gonna deliver the thrill of my running back check down he picks up the first down that's playing the position the right way big potential NFL scouts and that are out there you're willing to take those types of sacrifices on your body after five ago here in Orangeburg the Rattlers driving in to the red zone trying to put some points on the board the handoff to as in they ran rain continuing to stay on his feet inside the five and one of those speed guys that we heard about coming in who could just make you miss you talk about going sideline to sideline and rage the speech they want to get him on the perimeter but it was a fantastic job by the left tackle Jalen Brayboy sealing his block on the edge take a look at the block right there in the edge once he seals them then you've got a big play pickup of ten yards and now first and goal for Florida A&M just throws this one away may have gotten out of off the hand of Stanley so that'll bring up second down lose Johnson also drawn up lots of pressure problems for de NIM and you're relying on running the football you know side wins each sweat a little bit when you get down here on the two or three yard line have to be able to find a crease that you're looking for Terrell Jim Akers would be perhaps the closest thing to it bonding in the backfield Stanley finds his man and touchdown Xavier Smith on the score he has to go ahead touchdown catch last weekend at homecoming and one swore he's able to put the Rattlers on the board just will rubber out send them in motion and see if you can get leverage and once he's out plates the defensive back that becomes a touchdown a little bit late getting there with Jalen barb got caught up in the wash nice throw nice catch nice drive Florida AMM and the ollie on for the extra point attempt and it is good you mentioned the drive j14 plays more than four minutes gone by and a three yard touchdown catch from Xavier Smith as the Rattlers on the board of the road [Applause] [Music] [Applause] get the most from your amazing new iPhone 11 Pro on AT&T America's fastest network for iPhones more for your thing that's our thing South Carolina states marching 101 trying to get the fans inside Oliver see Dawson back in this one as a big touchdown and an historic drive for Ryan Stanley and the Rattlers picking up a score to lead here on the road I would say South Carolina State you got a problem the kind of make that look easy it made some nice throw the offensive line was able to protect them y receivers were running open offensively the Bulldogs need to get it going in a hurry Wolverine picks it inside the five room up ahead of him and will marine with a solid return and penalty flags come flying out at the end of that play a 37 yard return for Wolverine [Applause] [Music] who are we putting our din his crew discussing it will get the call to shortly you see the referee cry and drop that flag at a certain yard line is proud to let you know where he saw the infraction occur probably against bulldog [Music] so that block and the back will push the Bulldogs back in the gate of huge return yeah that was a nice return by Vereen you see a football one I want to talk to him saw the official come in from 18 yards away and he was talking he picked up his flag was like I was trying to throw it to the 20 it was a yard or two short and said it from the 20 then he becomes after this and that's why they had the ball in the 10 the Bulldogs trying to get something going off it's nice move there by Wolverine we saw all the returned actually good for 18 yards I would say we talked about nip running the football but he's got some you had to see I watched them play Burl's his special green we saw what he can do it Shaq Davis is who they rave about if he can get the ball to those guys in open space tough day on the defensive secondary of a few now to bring up SEC 730 jefferson it hardly stop well this has been a solid start to the season for south carolina state coming in at three into one fresh off the ran over delaware state a handoff up the middle for just a little bit more nearing the 35 yard line talk about NFL prospects I talked about Alex Taylor a little bit earlier but 68 310 and he's got the ability to reach you as a basketball player coming out of high school basketball football whimsical play football an Appalachian State decided couldn't South Carolina State because you want to play basketball and that was playing football again and NFL scouts are grueling at that size already Alex Taylor pitch out to Morris and Boris able to get up the first down this option football South Carolina State used to run the office a guy named Arthur Marshall but you're gonna run the option you always option off the in-band of the line of scrimmage the hard part is identifying who's the end man on the line of scrimmage it was Elijah Richardson hold him hold him hold him Ben pitch good job from the option by Therese niche first and 10 they try to go at it once more this time the ball comes loose and it looks like it's recovered by FAMU marquise Bell was to do who laid the hit jaunt the ball loose and coming up with it fan you the mantra Moore comes up with it but coach Simmons said that guy Bell can play it's a call from an all-america right away said he's just the ball hawk and he comes up and delivers a blow they run the same play with the option but you see number 5 he knows he's responsible for the running back shoulder pad on football first down Rattlers we'll be back with more from the orange bird we've got a big one [Music] [Applause] Florida A&M back in Bulldog territory after that fumble recovery and that's what we'll see the Rattlers offense get going once more 148 to go in this first quarter FAMU on top seven nothing one-on-one coverage across the board get the ball to one of your playmakers they like Xavier Smith who was able to catch that touchdown and go my beam off to - Robert Krauss is there so we got a chance to actually talk about him in on a play Jay yeah look at me don't run the football when he's in the game that's what he's in there for to stop the run you'll see you can't miss it right here in the middle of screen when they have the pile this job is just to stands up pops you see all the white jerseys trying to move he gets low makes the tackle that's what a run stuff are supposed to do we're talking with his d-line coach David Blanchard said kind of reminded you of of its wolf work a little bit yeah just go take space and then take spacing one thing about Vince worker whenever he wasn't out of breath he was a difference maker and again nowhere to go in this running game has just not been able to get kick-started Bishop bonnet was wrapped up very quickly think they have to continue to run the ball to the outside I really don't think you try to cache South Carolina State with their defensive front their foul is how firm and physical they can be you have to run off tackle look at this big fella Crouch is gonna get an opportunity to pass rush he doesn't see many paths rough opportunity to see if he can collapse the pocket and you see from that graphic FAMU relied heavily on that pass game just under 100 yards rushing they're trying to get a little bit more balanced Stanley right there - Xavier Smith Smith able to hold on to the football spins off and inside the red zone once again that's how you play quarterback position if they want to play a type of cover - you've got your best receiver running down the middle call the middle of the field open attack moving quickly the snap off just before the end of the first quarter Bishop bonnet up ahead a pickup of about six and that'll do it from the first frame here in Orangeburg South Carolina big Nia matchup between Florida and ever Carolina State the Rattlers up 7m [Music] [Applause] 11pro on AT&T America's fastest network for iPhones more for your thing that's our thing ESPN college football brought you by Allstate reminding you that football season is mayhem [Music] we're at the home of the Bulldogs here at South Carolina State Florida am leading 7-nothing Willie Simmons want to see his crew put up another score on this Bulldogs defense at all important Road Conference game for the Rattlers for a white receiver set instead Stanley holds on to it and Tyrell Goodwin just falls on top up until they're struggling running the football when you've got to have your quarterback it's so valuable to you as a pastor doing quarterback crawls down here in the red zone now that's not what you want to do you got running back to new they're supposed to eat to the hard tough yard that shouldn't be coming from Ryan Stanley I don't think we're gonna see that again well again we talked about them being a little bit banged up and realist moved over to defense Eddie Tillman is out for the year so they're pretty thin in that position [Applause] Stanley rolling to his right cuts back upfield just gets it away and picked off along the sidelines nobody's gonna catch BJ Davis he's got plenty of real estate and just like that world back in this ball game Bulldogs with the score 88 yards on the big six and if you stay here Oliver see Dawson Stadium and they're dancin they say BJ Davis is little Darius Leonard look at the football instincts but here Bryan Stanley wishes he just want to throw in the ball the way he gets turned around trying to get the ball out there to the fat lake and BJ Davis with the athleticism to finish the play and give the Bulldogs an opportunity to tiles football game where a piece [Applause] BJ to the house [Music] we'll talk about a shift in momentum Rattlers in the red zone with an opportunity to score but instead they hand it right over to Bulldogs that championship belt BJ Davis hoisting it high for the first big six of the season for Oliver buddy pews defense [Applause] and the kickoff on the return the speedster from the five taking off flags coming out and this one good comeback as Marcus Williams in all the return he's their fastest guy on the team but we see a penalty marker on the field he's one of those guys who's a straight up burner out of South Florida Miami and they use him to make an impact to scratch out the defense over the top and you got speedy guys put them back there in the return game well that's a way to answer depending upon what this call is but still any kind of lift that you can find to give your team a little boost after that deflate I guess that would be just as deflating you negate a 62-yard kickoff return from Marcus Williams with that type of speed which I saw there I want to see him on some offensive sense I'll see why we put him out there X and see who can run with them that was some legitimate Florida speed oh yeah they say he runs ten 310 400 [Applause] we'll see how Ryan Stanley responds the handoff here they run for a couple but just not much success on the ground J it is not their Florida and them running the football 11 attempts for yards 11 attempt for yards that's like four more yards and a gross pointless game but we're not even playing they are having trouble on the offensive line South Carolina State is controlling the line of scrimmage with their interior defensive lineman and that's why I said Brian Stann this is gonna have to be the guy that's either going win this football game for you or lose it because I don't think they're gonna have the ability to have much success running the football the backfield now for Stanley is bonnet who's in motion quickly swing it out to him just trying to get him in space an opportunity because he's got some speed as well but again the Bulldogs not fooled and I like the play selection that's nothing but this an extended hand off because you can't run the ball just swing them out the backfield dump it off with the swing route pick up three yards there but that just lets you know the frustration right now starting to set in for head coach Willie Simmons the offensive coordinator with the lack of a running game and that's big boy Robert Crouch on the ground Crouch we mentioned senior out of Johnson bill South Carolina will step aside quickly we'll see you when we return iPhones more for your thing that's our thing crowds walked over to the sideline noticeably in pain getting that right knee checked out let's go back to that play yeah and this is Crouch right here watch him as the play develops as he gets pushed in the back and tried to jump over somebody to avoid contact you will see right there the right leg just kind of buckles underneath him let's hope he's okay back to play on the field Stanley goes back to pass and a dangerous one a late flag comes out just near where the receiver was standing [Applause] pass interference defense number 14 the ball being placed the spot of the foul automatic first down let me say this Jay the number two that I have on the roster for Florida in and is the true freshman quarterback Cameron sack couldn t have been point out as a receiver here's you see that pass interference call off of the kobe Durant [Music] [Applause] Stanley with the hand draw Kendrick Kendrick gets some good positive yards among the best ones today we've seen from the Rattlers yeah finally able to get something positive in the running game up the middle maybe that it has something to do with Robert Crouch being on the sidelines the run stuffer for South Carolina statement any type of running Vicki kid going running game he'll help out the court about Ryan Stanley Kendrick pick up of six there [Music] four to go FAMU averages now 28 points a game third best in the MEAC against one of the most injured offenses in the conference Leacock winding down just to warn and Kendrick once again finds a defender he's carrying him on his back of a pickup of two well that was a whole lot of in and out of bullying they're trying to play chess for just a simple handoff run for pickup however damn you will take it as they get it any type of positive daughter taking kid in the running game is a small victory for them [Applause] so forth and seven on third downs today for Florida nm Smith's in motion and the pressure coming from the outside but Stanley away and then tripping over his own feet as a receiver is tight in komori young that would have been a first down and more instead Chris padule will try not to the field and it was another great job of playing quarterback by Ryan Stanley your back is to the deepest which you hate as a quarterback get the head around quickly defender they're still able to get the football off but unfortunately the freshman young not able to keep his balance hold his feet and then comes Chris with old module has made a living hitting teams inside the 20 we'll see what he could do here on this punt the mantras burrows just fair catching it and this one is a touchback so very close 47 yards on the punt for padule if the duels looking like how could you guys knock down that ball and bounce but actually it was kind of poor play by Florida A&M on special teams that ball really didn't go into the end zone as you see it they went too far and they let their momentum carry them into the end zone trying to make the catch and didn't realize where he was on the football field in Kurt's image when we talked to him he said if I have fourth in short fourth and - I'm punting the ball I'm letting Christopher duel do what he does well which is win the battle field position that would have been a great opportunity and they've been able to pin him on the one-yard line instead special teams doesn't do their job and South Carolina State gets the ball back with decent position well Tyrese Nick after that five touchdown performance last week he's been kind of quiet here he tucks it and runs good enough for the first down and he's brought down by Marquis oh that's really good oh wow no flag coming out good for a dozen [Applause] I mean is to talk about this for you Tiffany said I'm being quiet okay well how about this nick says i'm gonna show you what i can do it good open field tackle by marquee smell but look at the late hit there by number 75 falling on the pile whoo that's a stick back right there good hit deliver once more by Bell Bell has been all over the field in this first half again there was a guy that really sent me and said keep your eye on these planes digital style football that we're used to seeing South Carolina State defense play Nick misses his man the mantras burrow now third and six well the first three drives for South Carolina state is netted 29 yards this Drive they've been able to gain a little bit more than that more than half of that and then you got one-on-one coverage pick a matchup that you like and get it to one of your receivers again Nick trying to avoid pressure able to get it away but Rodriguez Thomas could not hold on to it it's a quick three and out yeah a little disappointing three anafi normally if you're gonna play you don't want to play man-to-man coverage verse a mobile quarterback because you have to turn your back to the pocket but give credit to the florida A&M defensive line they've been able to keep tain tyrese nick in the pocket frustrating yeah I mean I would be licking my chops if you come out play there playing straight cover one we call it safety hi man the man across the board all you have to do is get the ball out here handing you a receiver or the quarterback take off and run line drive kick as in de ray with the fair catch will step aside and come back here for this big reaction from one foot using new iPhone 11 Pro on AT&T America's fastest network for iPhones more for your thing that's our thing [Applause] Willie Simmons in his second season as the head coach of Florida A&M and his team is ticking it out right now in this MEAC battle Wolfe Simmons is kind of returned home but he first started out at Clemson as a quarterback graduated in three years also played an additional year at the Citadel and then moved on he had a coaching opportunity at Middle Tennessee State Alcorn State before taking over as the head coach at Prairie View and him let the Panthers to three winning seasons and then back in 2017 he was hired as the head coach taking over for Alex wood and again the Gaston County native is happy to be back in the Panhandle one thing I could say about Willie Simmons wherever he coaches he put points on the board and that's the key when he went to Prairie View and all of a sudden took that program the new heights and started becoming an offensive power in the conference you came before it a.m. and had an immediate impact with a six and five finish five and tuna a little bit of a disappointing five and to finish because they lost those last two conference games in the year which knocked them out of the celebration bowl but good thing I like about them their expectations again once again in Tallahassee yeah snapped a seven-year losing streak upon the highest of seven hills with that six and five record last year off to a great start once again you know Lyon Stanley and this team would love to deliver a win for him all coach's birthday would be a great birthday present until they figure out a way to get this running game going there so completely one-dimensional that's been the biggest snag and their rides fairly strong some good passes like that pick six the reason that allows South Carolina State to tie up this football game third and long for the Rattlers standing looking down as man and overthrows as an attempted target as in day rain what would you call for Damien you said it broke his freakin home eat some determine off the highest of what seven hills the highest of Seven Hills Doubleday call for dinner yes the school actually sits on the highest of Seven Hills and Tallahassee top education there for you Jake Walker bison in their degree though I don't know why you would have to count the Seven Hills I don't think it's our house is being hilly it is very low oh that one block good special teams play by the Bulldog picked up and returned for the touchdown kalique Anthony got a hand on that one Jayden Brunson able to run it into the end zone so we're seeing the different phases come through for the Bulldogs first their defense and now specialty teams if the offense ever gets it going to be a long day for 40 mm Wow there were several church that was a punt block they were selling out for the block which makes sense don't try to set up a return against a punter that leads the nation in punt yards they came after him and we rewarded it's a pub block for six the belt not normally for defense special teams getting some love Brunson and to put the Bulldog sir [Music] you know the cues like to stake the min of Omega sci-fi happen in the end zone at South Carolina State takes the lead for the first time today Jaden function with that recovery for a touchdown and let me tell you defense and special teams coming through right now part of the aspects of the game you have to have particularly if you think you're a championship quality team and South Carolina State thinks they may have a championship quality team the defense seems good enough the offense going to the big play on the special teams a short kick there and his end day rain turned around a little bit and then just a number there's a whole pile just came in and converged in on ray and good will scrap you down there I like those cues that were happening yeah are they the only for turning that house like I think they like have the trademark others may do it but they had Vegas on fire they see them hop you know like Malcolm Butler was doing it and like about Jenkins inside that's another group you see I don't know what they're doing they're spinning but then once you start to see the hop I'm assuming that's cute yeah I'm assuming the cute can't tell by the color if Darius than it is is watching you know he's doing business the former Bulldogs linebacker now with the Indianapolis Colts last years and a fellow rookie of the year or defense [Applause] so Ryan Stanley trotting back onto the field after a pretty solid start for the Rattlers a couple of big plays and again the Bulldogs defense starting to fill and pick up that momentum Roderick berry was right there the junior out of Raleigh North Carolina Oh lots of three Robert Perry ended up here at South Carolina State as a referral from lat Collins Hall of Fame quarterback Doug Williams comes here and they say it's probably the most talented of our defensive line very versatile can play interior d line as well as defensive end Stanley with one-on-one coverage on the outside and David Mann ago way to go up and get it and bring it in it's a guy who they feel like has good ball skills continuing to develop on the outside 17-yard pickup nice throw the time and that's what you call that bat shoulder throw and the throw like that is all about the timing and the rhythm and you can tell the little connection between Stanley and mana go get rid of this football with that location run down fields turn your right children I'm gonna drop a dime on [Applause] so just over six minutes to go in this second half Stanly once again trying to find his man and an ill advised pass right in the hands of the co p Durant couldn't hold on to it but again a very dangerous throat it should have been picked off there I always say there's a reason why they play cornerback and not wide receiver one of that's normal don't catch as well as a wide receiver there well coming into today's game Stanley only has thrown two interceptions on the season you go back to that 88 yard interception return for a touchdown that evened it up and then that pump blocked for return trying to go to that left side of the field once again it's Xavier Smith and Smith picking up the first down Xavier Smith how they describe him unbelievable and you saw what makes an unbelievable receiver the guy that doesn't go down with the first would-be tackler can run great routes get in and out of brakes quickly showing us something there while he's there go to wide receiver for the Rattlers the team in receptions and yards a season ago and he's come through with some clutch touchdowns late in that win over southern again over North Carolina central last weekend the ball was there and just through the hands of Kumari young so second and 10 for the Rattlers and the coaches have talked about just the type of leader that Ryan Stanley is developed into not only on the field and put off the field as well as a player that the guy has really rally around they listen to him they don't mind going out and doing battle within week in and week out [Applause] this would be a family house their leadership and Stanley throws that one away [Applause] and this is Carlo mental era and I call this an illegal ship will await the call for Rory Bernard offense too many motion prior to the snap snap you know these decline result of the play look you're gonna see a second French here he comes in emotion math to stop it was one of these two guys that did the flinch earlier we will see it as we run it you'll see them readjust right there that move and there was no motion guy starts to move too soon without stopping had he come to a stop position then it wouldn't have been an illegal ship but because he never came set you can't have two guys running the motion at the same time [Music] [Applause] trips to the bottom of your screen Stanley looking to the sideline to get direction and then calls a timeout when you look at this Florida A&M team who was picked to finish third in the MEAC behind the two-time defending Conference champion North Carolina ante Aggies and then of course their in-state rival Bethune Cookman coming in to finish at second and the preseason we saw the Wildcats earlier this week they took on North Carolina Central what kind of race do we expect choice the end of the season J well I'm gonna say if it comes down to the Florida classic I'm betting on between cooking because a woman the last eight okay they won the last eight but depends on what happens here a lot will determine what happens in that race I mean the film Cookman jumped out they've take care of their business they've won three early contests which is great but this has been the first big test game that we've had in this season right now Florida and then taking on South Carolina State two teams that are ranked up there in the top ten and eight to be seen football and but like we always say everybody's chasing A&T the question everybody asks me where I go is who do you think can knock off an T and that's a that's the million-dollar question t with the five get some rest they had a big back by the name of Jermaine Martin's a Batman third and ten eight plays on this Drive ninth one on the way Stanley will seize the snap stands in the pocket has a man wide open it's Smith Smith once again and again they talk about just the great rattler is the wonderful receiver he is he is an all-in-one package that pickup of 27 my coach used to say in sweet he ran a route they will show you probably after this plate - they're gonna hurt get to the line of scrimmage that was an NFL style route they say he's got the goods they target him once more Xavier Smith I'll get a little chippy down there DJ Davis in the face take a look take a look at this okay he's gonna be your slot receiver watch him spin him around you're gonna see the guy here defending them in the break my time we come out the frame that dude is eight yards away he spun him around like a top I was a big time corner out my Savior Smith they don't say good they say great when it comes to rattler for Smith just one-on-one matchup man ago in the end zone coming out and throwing up his hands at the last minute was the defender for South Carolina State burning Grier excuse me the r3 Daniels [Applause] I wonder what took so long on that there was a lot of contact the whole time the ball was in the air Daniels was draped on him holding defense number 20 half the distance to the goal automatic first down and the balls in the air he's all over them could make the question but you see they called holder they'd call pass interference holding is holding pass interference it has to be a catchable ball however its first and goal right yes I still don't know how Florida anyone's gonna score when you're running game is being negated they've got to take some high risk reward tight plays down here they may try a jet sweep or something like that to the outside but when the running game is not there how do you score in these short yardage situations [Applause] Jennings is in the backfield they hand it off to Terrell Jennings Jennings a downhill runner and here's all for the score so just when you thought how are they gonna do it been one-dimensional today but the running game comes through to try to tie up this ball game yeah this is a great place to matically drawn up by Willie Simmons I'm thinking how can I score you know they can't run straight at you what do they do they fake the jet sweep and give it to the diag man just an update light see the reaction when he comes across with that fake jet suite that freezes the defense just long enough to allow the running back to find a crease to get to the end zone [Music] [Applause] the point after attempt from ollie [Applause] and it's good we've got a tie ballgame Jennings the true freshman out of Jacksonville Florida the 4 yard touchdown run and maybe that will help to establish the ground game for the Rattlers what say you just win baby win you said that about Mattoon cooking I didn't realize fans in the same boat postgame just but at the end of the day they've walked away with double use they've all been very the Close Encounters of W that's right and I think you go back to that southern game that was really the spark for they had a season-ending law excuse-me season opening loss to the University of Central Florida and since that time they've won four straight but all those were closed on the southern half the ball on the opportunity score North Carolina Central tried to come down there and ruin the Rattlers homecoming and winning games right now and this would be a big test so norm you say close losses help you because you can learn from them and you learn how to finish out a game and not give up and the close them out we'll see if that pays off for when you come in here playing the very game South Carolina State team on the road the mantra is Burroughs collecting that one and Burroughs big number one up past the 40-yard line but a little bit of laundry on the field [Applause] so we'll see who that goes against the way it's been going it's been against South Carolina State yep and they gave me some big returns holding the turn team number 16 ten-yard penalty from the spot in the files first name [Applause] that one goes against Tim Ewing South Carolina state finds themselves not only in the hunt of this ballgame but in the conference overall they're looking for perhaps a react i lo there could be in contention for it and one one since 2014 but buddy Pugh closing in on history time for the most wins here at the school with Twitter Jeffrey's at 128 when we put him over the top today with battle going will Vereen on the catch and sure tackling from the Rattlers that was Elijah Richardson and that's another one those plays where schematically it was a great call good execution by South Carolina State but the speed of Elijah Richardson able to come up in the gate a play that would have been a big play possibly a first down and limited to just a three hour game Nick feels the pressure avoids it being chased out launches the ball lets it go and then that little push in the secondary from Bell and you see the penalty flags on the field they're a couple I see three pieces alive be on the field I think one of them may be a late hit another one may be a hold [Applause] [Music] thank you good yeah for the big place that we've had in this game we've also seen it kind of slow down here late in the second quarter [Applause] and always think the three to four minutes going into the half are so important how do you close out a half with momentum or do you lose momentum both against the offense ineligible player downfield offense number fifty that can lead to climb passing affair office number one 15-yard penalty from the previous spot first down Wow so that pushes South Carolina State back deep into their own territory but like you said Jay this is a very important crucial minutes in this first half South Carolina State will get the ball coming out of the break and I think they have to worry that the offense hasn't scored a point I mean they've got to get it going they've had the ball in pretty good field position a couple times I just think Tyrese Nick needs to get it going one way or the other either throwing the ball and completing some short passes to let these wide receivers go to work or he has to do it with his legs with second down but for him to be the dual threat weapon he is he's been kind of as you said I'm gonna say Wyatt hasn't made an impact get too talented to do that and then the mental miscue is here for South Carolina State not helping their calls at all remember they went on the road to Tallahassee last year and put a 44 against the Rattlers [Applause] Nik with the completion Davis with the catch and then quickly the stick button from Dell this is one word if your marques bill you had the big hit but don't make the senses pilling and give South Carolina's state a first down with the late hit well unsportsmanlike conduct but you saw Shaq Dave is absolutely climbing the ladder to go get that football I didn't think this was a catchable ball we watch him climb up behind him and go get in the stick Ruby Marquis Bell very fortunate he made that tackle with the crown of his helmet that is a that's a no-no got away one there [Applause] two and a half to go [Applause] in this first half from Orangeburg nick finding his man on the outside waiting right there was Troy Hilton to tackle de mantras burrows that brings up fourth down and so now you still have time and perhaps pretty decent field position for Florida A&M to put some more points on before the head yeah and I would take my time punting this football right now big coach Simmons realized we can call a timeout get this ball back with two minutes left instead now you're gonna get the ball back with about a minute 30 at 30 seconds difference could make a difference I would have called the timeout once I saw the punt team come on the field let me go with eight seconds to go on the play clock isn't they raved watches this one bounce favorably out of bounds well coming up at the half we've got gimme five for sure but coach buddy Pugh currently tied with the former South Carolina State head coach Willie Jeffries we'll hear from him he's always fun to talk to you Jay you gotta talk to coach Jay he's gonna make you laugh are you gonna make you smile then he'll make you cry but quality guy grodd's needed all the accolades and curious to what he has to say about buddy pupil attention becoming the women's coach here at South Carolina State pew played for Jeffries Ronnie was an offensive lineman here did you know you know that Coach J also coach with a mother-to-be see you in the conference yes he did for five years time to school in Washington DC the pitching catch is good to David man ago good job good time here now for Florida and then you steal this lead going back into the half and you have to like their chances of putting some points on the board with two timeouts and Ryan Stanley the senior quarterback crosses midfield [Music] second and short [Applause] and just know where to go quickly bottled up that defense once again coming in hard and fast that was Wilson they continue to struggle to run the football I thought they were to come out just passing bombs away let the Stanley try and put some points on before the half Stanley is 14 to 26 151 yards and TD strike to go along with an int the handoff the bonnet Bonner trying to work on the outside but absolutely nowhere to go and Tyrell Goodwin was all over him the senior out of Columbia South Carolina State does not call a timeout so interesting both teams willing to go into halftime tide guess if you're coach Jeff coach soccer coach pew you're saying I get the ball to start the second half so we'll do our damage after we go in the locker room time make some adjustments 30 seconds and counting here nobody deep for the Bulldogs [Applause] good matchup here in this first half I mean it's giving us everything we thought it would be J start timeout of the half then the Rex on the second charge time I know what I've done in session I would have called timeout let them think I'm setting up for my offensive scheme and then I'll put that pump block back outfit they've already blocked one point I would have gone after the punter again and see if we can come up with another one if maybe they haven't figured out what we've been doing to him with our special teams pump block but who am I to question no but accused forgotten more football than I'll ever learn and he's been around this is he didn't even seem fazed he's been in these type of content contests for years just to catch our viewers up of how we got here and was spam you got on the board first touchdown catch from Xavier Smith then South Carolina State answered with two big plays on defense and special teams a pick six in the puck block return for a touchdown he was able to run it in that's how we get at 14 all and that's likely will to stand going in to the locker room [Music] I swear bounces into the end zone with four seconds to go here in this first half it goes like that's the second time I've been hiding where the balls bounce at the tenant you all can't stop it from going in the end zone but duel we mentioned the all-american punter out of the Tampa Bay area of Lebanese descent and he was also an excellent soccer player as well in high school said now South Carolina State will trot back on the field and likely run this last play after that 52 yard punt after the first 30 minutes we still don't know who's the better team it's still up in the air and it seems like it's gonna be a very exciting second half and both teams going the la Kelin is red the great coaches earned their money halftime adjustments how do they come out to third quarter it's been a good one so far as a big test in the ba floor at South Carolina State all even 14 here that [Music] welcome back to South Carolina State well it's only fitting here at the half as we're the home of one of the legends Willie C Jeffries a tribute to one of the HBCU cogent legends historically black colleges and universities around the country are known for producing some of the best talent to come through the college ranks and on to the National Football League what many may not know is the fact that those talented student athletes were coached by legendary coaches who not only change their lives but help change the landscape of college football the Mid Eastern Athletic Conference is proud to document and showcase some of these football coaching legends including today's feature on a man who was a pay setting coach at both the HBCU and predominantly white college levels his name is Willie Jeffords I believe not not the advent of being the first african-american head coach at a major university I would think my contributions would be in the field of graduation rates we had a high graduation rate at South Carolina State Wichita State and Howard and believe it or not at all three locations geographically we got respect so sometimes when you you're trying to eat brown how're you gonna bring in different cultures into your daily lives if you just if you do those three and we also would do the 3s Faith Family and good future those were the things that that carried me I'd like to be remembered not by the trophies because they lose their luster the cheering and applauding in the stands will cease and it all boils down to the person you know the College Football Hall of Fame entrain so above all of those abut when you speak of home at a South Carolina State if you're able to get into that Hall of Fame and from there to the mere our conference hall of fame those two I hold dearly [Music] honored to be sitting next to the legend Willie Jeffries field that's pretty special as look I got to give you some some shot off their coach Jeffries because you look as good as you do now as you did in those coaching pitchers when you were in South Carolina State Wichita State and Howard Oh Thank You Tiffany that's how you must be running for office thank you so much I've always been a workout buff when when most of the coaches went to lunch I'd come right down here and run this track we had a track in the stadium at that time so I kept in shape pretty well you know obviously everybody knows the greatest respect out that's why was clapped when you came on great piece there we saw I don't think I've ever asked you this what do you miss about coach I miss that mr. young hand I missed the young men because when you get up in the morning you need to have something to go and do now don't have that but back then I had those young men that and it was sometimes their exes would be better than your hoes but you coach the holes build up your graduation rate and to show them because 80% of our boys was they were from a one parent home and we the we were the daddies to those young and I miss that in terms of when you look back to think about Donnie shale and Harry Carson and charge it up so many greats that have come through here how proud do you feel to know that you have a hand in that well then proud of all those guys Tiffany and you know sometimes they have not fully matured academically and otherwise but they could rewrite drawing trace that's what I was concerned and they could spell Bob backwards and we were able to get them going academically because I always told them if you get behind academically and you're not doing the proper thing you've got to build good habits and those guys are hairy Donnie Robert O'Shea Dexter Clinkscale a guy we miss talking about those guys became great students and they were already good football players coach today you know what I talk about the good old days HBCU football the game's changed a whole lot allowed case for the better but I remember when we come down here play South Carolina State when y'all just have a grass field what did you do in a team like power or Florida A&M came in with all that speed well tell our viewers we'll choose to do admit it on camera the way you had too much speed first of all the grass we let it grow up over your fuse in about 4:00 a.m. we have water to feel down and then you'll start the circle during the game yeah and one night we didn't know that if it rained anyway so it was a quagmire but you know I'm just so happy that you remember those days day because you know I told them we would blitz but don't hurt it they don't do for that your corn Jeffrey's 19 seasons a couple of stints here at South Carolina State you help this program garner a lot of success but to watch then your player and buddy cue being able to not only tie you but a chance to break your record and all-time career wins what does it mean oh it means a lot to me you know parents want their children to do better than they and buddy is one of mine he he's like a son and he majored in mathematics so he's smart the team was so bad when buddy came here one of the players through his helmet at the coach and that got intercepted but so that shows you what a great job buddy has done with this football team and I'm so happy for him he's homegrown he lives eight miles west of year and he's happy his wife Josie she's happy and we're happy for buddy because he deserves this I broke somebody's record and I hope that today that he breaks mine we appreciate your time the comedian but also the legend as well really Jeffries thank you so much for joining us here at the Hat backward for when you return when you return [Applause] [Music] welcome back to south catalyst beyond tied at 14 between the Florida am and South Carolina and it's everybody's favorite time of the broadcast Jay's give me five all right well the campus the South Carolina State these Bulldogs remember me they saw that dude right there they stopped me to put some mama achieve David Blanchard all the time about one of the worst weapons that Howard ever delivered to them was delivered by me and the boys but let's talk about five things you need to know about South Carolina State the football legend the list goes on and on is in 59 people that have gone off to the National Football League you got three NFL Hall of Famers and Deacon Jones very a motley Harry Carson today NFL Defensive Rookie or Darius Leonard they played deepens down here they've been playing football for a long time number four the marching 101 love the name love the name because when a march of 100 is not enough you have to have a hundred and one that's plus one they put on a good show if they're rocking the house right now number three how about this in today's landscape we're gonna go to number two with Carl McCullough imma give it up to Miss USA not too many colleges out there period can say they produced a Miss USA South Carolina state has produced a Miss USA number three of course Jim Clyburn the congressman so we had a chance to sit down with the legend it's only fitting J then he tops your list I gotta say that I'm just gonna jump the gun oh now it's Tiffany's give me five give me five a we agree on our number one gotta be number one because he was the first african-american coach at a division 1 football program Willie Jeffery synonymous with South Carolina State two reason why's the winningest coach in school history thus far but coach J paved the path for a lot of people to prove he to get it done coach days always gonna be number one when you talk about things you need to know about the South care on the state university all right looking at that one through five Liz who makes it on the bubble on the bubble get a little upset here but Claflin University Clavel University I say that because I've never been to any two schools that are that closely connected the AUC the schools are closed with Spelman in Atlanta Spelman Morehouse at Clark Atlanta Claflin and South Carolina State is separated by fence and in some places it's a chain-link fence so please people this anonymous sorry state band you want to give me a hard time about it hit us up on social media black pilots live but you know I know what I'm talking about clack landed in 1890 South Carolina State 1896 the court the fan it's in full of back here from Orangeburg [Music] welcome back here to Oliver's see Dawson Stadium in Orangeburg South Carolina we're at the half of this be a battle first-half stats it's all the way but we return 11pro on AT&T America's fastest network for iPhones more for your thing that's our thing [Music] you're watching ESPN's College Football presented by McDonald on hand here at the half we're just about ready to start the third quarter as South Carolina State and Florida A&M University and a tight one year Ryan Stanley and Tyrese Nick a good quarterback battle between the two pretty decent thus far it hasn't really been able it hasn't been able to really get going thus far I think the Florida A&M defense has done a really good job of containing him but the skip that's good news but the flip side is a player of his caliber you know it's a matter of time before it starts to settle down and make some breakout plays Holly on the kickoff back to returnest his Vereen Vereen tackled to the ground so you take a look at those first half highlights again we mentioned FAMU getting on the board first it was Stanley connecting with Xavier Smith yeah a nice little rubber out there they had it going and then this was a big play right here with an opportunity go by to score Stanley gets disrupted throws an interception to be Jake Davis he takes it to the house the game and then the special teams from South Carolina State come up with a pump block and scoop and score for the touchdown to give them a lead if we're honest J it's been South Carolina's State's offense that's been pretty anemic thus far sixty-five total yards Nick were just 26 yards on the ground as well trying to go for that one all the way the home run long on the first play no penalty marker as Shaq Davis was the intended target and that's what I don't get necessarily so they're not going to say there was a hole and I know with his size and ability I don't see how you call that ball not catchable because he made a fantastic Kent earlier climbing the ladder I like this give him a chance to make a play that was a push not quite as magnified that seemed to be the first time we saw it I could live with the no call and Troy Hilton who is the guy that know we thought teams might be focusing in on because they may be picking at him a little bit that secondary position but the run up the middle nothing going here now it's third down quickly and I don't like that call like the call come out throw it but I want to see Tyrese Nick throw the ball three times in a row if I get the ball to your wide receivers to get him going see the 28 yard rushing 37 I mean 65 yards total offense they haven't been able to pick up first downs one of five on third downs that'll lead so you didn't beat bad in the time of possession they've got a full ten to pick up here you talked about in the open house Nick was a much improved pack sir this year he was definitely a threat on the ground here an obvious passing situation once more going for it again double coverage will Vereen was the intended target but two white jerseys around him once again number five marquise Bell we've seen him come up and lay the hammer he let me see him play the truth free safety position giving some help to the cornerback Troy Hilton but it looked as if Vereen had a step on them coming out locker room three plays in a punt for South Carolina Station as the offensive waters continues I think Jay that's always the interesting conversation that we have and weekend and week out we see these teams what adjustments will they make coming out of the locker room and there nothing going for South Carolina State meanwhile as in they raved on the return a pickup of a few so what did you see or that you like about Florida anims offense in that first half like I they gave up trying to run the football and they realize that ryan stands you have to be the guy and they put the ball in his hands they just didn't capitalize on a couple of drives didn't finish the drives but Willie Simmons is playing respect to the defensive line for South Carolina State and when the big run stuff with Robert Crouch got hurt then he decided to run the football you see ranking first in the passing yards per game inching their way up again as they have a hundred and fifty nine yards through the air you [Applause] should bond it in the backfield Stanley quickly out to David Mann ago man ago with the quick one and continuing to stay on his feet and because of that extra effort he's near the first down marker and I think it's good enough to move the chains and I know that Florida A&M is on offense but this is what I want to see South Carolina State just take the ball throw a 5-yard hitch route so your wire receivers where your best playmakers are the athletes and let them create something to help your quarterback get going and sometimes that's the difference when you've got a former quarterback as your head coach offensive coordinator he knows what it takes to keep his quarterback involved how to distribute the ball where as South Carolina State is struggling to get the ball their playmakers [Music] Sandling with a hand off the bishop bonnet body up the middle and you see just that quittin footsteps from Barney the redshirt junior out of Jacksonville brought down my jailing ball daelin ball with a touchdown saving tackle coming up from his safety position there they finally found that crease they've been looking for they faked like they were going for 15 yards on that one this last run of seven yards again quick simple offense here man out to the right that's mana go once more he's been favorite target of Stanley on this Drive so momentum continuing to roll to the right stepping on the gas pedal look how quickly they're getting this bossman they see a personnel South Carolina State that they like and they're going after right there save your middle Smith across the middle and Smith able to leap into the end zone or he launched his way in there got bit on the way down and FAMU with the score 24 yards from Stanley to Smith second TD of the day for the receiver was the Rattlers strike and the sprite and they struck again nice throwing ball and talk about Xavier Smith being unbelievable he knows where the goal line is this elevates leaves his feet to cross the score and give Florida A&M an impressive drive of their first possession of the second half [Applause] a couple of TV's last weekend for Smith once more he does it again the best wide receiver on this squad you get him the ball in open space one man can't take him down when he sees two at the goal line [Music] 14 to 19 for Florida in and that's how you draw it up and the X's and O's Ryan Stanley those eight years spent to make it 21-14 and it hasn't taken very long for the Rattlers to get on the board you look at that quick strike scoring drive coming out of the locker room in the number of plays I mean five plays getting it done halftime adjustments Simmons coming out there and striking a little fire underneath this offensive unit taking the lead here in Orangeburg South Carolina [Applause] and for the moment that's taken some of the energy out of the stadium for now but this has been a seesaw battle between the two Vereen who has had some nice returns negated by penalties here he goes once more airborne ball comes loose it's still on the ground shuffled and it looks like Florida am recovered it you have to take a look at this one he elevated that ball did it come out when he hit the ground or was a prior to him does the ball start to move prior to him making contact with the ground Ricky Henry lets the running back who converted the defense also playing on special teams is the one who runs away with it in elevates that's foam [Applause] I mean he elevated in the ball from the elbow hit the ground the ball came out we think they're doing that's a bang-bang play but I'm gonna say that is there enough evidence to overturn it you think yes is that oh yeah the elbows the exact control the football the toilet on the field was a fumble recovery by Florida A&M with the previous play is that the further renew the ball out didn't drop it and that's their time for they say these have the old rule that the ground can't cause a fumble well that's not true either but in all cases but in this case here he leaves his feet really tackle the elbow marks him down having the elbow down just like having them yet okay so his hand is down there so but in with the ball is even with the ball yeah he's got the ball you'll see one hand goes down the balls not moving and secure and then the pressure forces the ball off he pops that but you never know now they see them playing review the call on the field was that the footballers were covered by Florida A&M but based on what we see it may not be a fumble Lori Barnard is trying to sort that out right now and there's also as I'm evolving with theater with instant replay the views we have from a television production standpoint are not the ones that they're looking at in the official spoof of you they've got a different set of cameras they've got different angles they saw that in the game on Thursday to rediscover with North Carolina Central [Applause] I don't see that ball moving prior to him making contact with the ground now they may see a slight movement but I don't see it moving nobody hit the ball no it was hidden Lillis who came underneath it just clipped and sit for an airborne right there and that's why I'm seeing any movement on the ball [Applause] as they continue to review this Jay you also think though just about how whether this comment goes your way or not you see a different team coming out of the locker room for Willie Simmons they're bringing some intensity bringing some toughen if you can match the physical nature of South Carolina state you have a chance to compete and get into victory here but unfortunately for Coach Simmons I think whenever they start talking about stuff this long in the replay they're probably asking ok where did he make contact with the ground where do we place the ball with the time clock so I think if they were gonna call it a fumble then it would have been more quick bangbang not end up over turnabout pretty strong that they're looking to see where we place the ball spot the ball and time on the clock see if I got it right after further review the runners arm was down prior to losing the ball percent in South Carolina State at the 25-yard line [Applause] every time every now and then now if you're South Carolina State you take advantage of it let me you just we're facing a shotgun to get you down you're down it at you and now you have an opportunity gets second life and get the ball back this time to say sorry it's Nick let's go that's what you have to say you may need some of the senior leads to come up to him and challenge the junior quarterback Nick with time and wide open on the right side and Nick Taylor bit to the head but tuck bit there is Mark Eric Smith delivered a hard-hitting right to the head of Tyrese Nick Flags come out very quickly and that's a This Is It this is interesting because Tyrese Nick at the end showboating a little bit and Nixon but I thought there was a legal Horan hit Tyrese Nick didn't really give himself up personal foul targeting Oh neatness number eight the previous play is under further review and what it's all gonna come down to is do you consider tell me do you consider Tyrese Nick a defenseless player is he defenseless right now you see him slowing up but he goes straight for the head that's the thing about it like well I thought it's about to jump over I think you know simply he's gonna jump over him so if somebody's gonna jump over you don't know low you go high but right take a look and I think if we look at that replay again if any part of the crown of the helmet makes contact then that target group is going to stay okay so the question did you launch upward thrust severe strike you're saying yesterday okay the next is forcible hit by the crown of the helmet I mean it went helmet to helmet there you know what to just by [Applause] [Music] I mean you see him coming here and they're gonna identify he sees him he sees him clearing up but he's gonna try and jump over me are you serious but then you look at it again I want to see the definition again and I think that that targeting is going to sting because there's a launch and a thrust even when you realize he wasn't jumping over me trying to jump I think this right here dangerous yeah absolutely dangerous hit launching thrusting and he definitely did them yeah and you can't do this in today's college football when it's all about player safety you can't do it defenseless players cheap shots they're gonna get you ejected and for him he's ejected for the rest of this game and the first half of the next game is your starting corner in that Rattler secondary the heath is the best point of that it's the better of the two corners that say teams don't pick on him because they know it's a wasted cause they tend to pick on Troy Hilton on the opposite side but now Troy Hilton is gonna have to step up and make some place because I really don't think that they're gonna overturn that call [Music] [Applause] you five nine redshirt freshman out of Miami you could hear everyone in the stands feel like oh wow that was a big blow to the head [Applause] you really was thinking about jumping over yeah after further review their ruling for targeting is confirmed number 8 for Florida antium it disqualified for the remainder of the contest so Smith go ahead back to the locker room and like you said Jay when this the first half of next week at home against North Carolina AM T so now Courtney Cox the sophomore out of Decatur number 12 then white to the bottom of your screen coming in for Smith quickly there in the backfield was Terry Jefferson but the ball still going forward then marquise Bell there to tackle Wow you talk about a decision by Tyrese Nick to pull the ball he fooled me 100% me too Richard Terry Jefferson have blown this play up in the backfield cuz he did not have the football Nick able to pick up over five yards on first down that was making a little something out of nothing great decision there as you mentioned by neck Nik once again going on the outside Shaq Davis hands a man the position and unable to come up with it and the flat comes out and there's one downfield there also may be one at the line of scrimmage for late hit there's laundry on there I think this is going to be a neat to play they've been waiting to get the matchup they picked on the cornerback that came into game Courtney Cox got he and matched up against Shaq Davis they've been waiting for to explode and he's able to run by them [Applause] [Applause] so the officials continue to talk it over as you mentioned two different flags on teach of different parts of the field to fouls on the flag when he gets these team pass interference defense number twelve after the play unsportsmanlike conduct offense number 52 both files will be enforced it would be an automatic first down for South Carolina State the previous spot will be the spot of the foul will be the spot of the next snap first down [Applause] out of the step next down I don't know but I mean we saw this he couldn't separate from the receiver number 12 was holding on and that's what a good defensive back is taught to do they don't give up the touchdown give up the pass interference penalty they called that one but unfortunately for South Carolina State Jalen Payne number 50 to the right guard unsportsmanlike conduct after the penalty had been called you can see coach Simmons none too pleased there so it's first and 10 from the 38 [Applause] of Florida A&M the handoff to Mors and Mors still able to stay on his feet giving some extra tough yards just a couple there get back to throwing the football and we see the playmakers and we've seen Bulldog wide receivers able to get open against this Florida A&M secondary for the speed of Florida A&M is in linebackers with the secondary they've got some gaps there Nick holding on to it and Nick was brought down so now third and manageable Derrick Mayweather in on the stop and what do you call here first of all you just tell your quarterback I just need some positive yo we're wearing to down territory good right do not take a sack protect the football the interception we're yet to see Nick roll out one time and may because it's hard to do against a very speedy defense but look for a one-on-one matchup to take the shot Nick tries to roll out instead he's met by a bevy of defenders off of Florida am Derrick Mayweather was the first to get to him and then to Monterey Moore and Isaiah land was able to end that way I don't fault the call I thought the execution first time they decided to roll the pocket but they just get beat in one-on-one matchups on the offensive line which has been the surprise to me dis game South Carolina State has a very good offensive line but they have not been able to deal with the quicker defensive linemen from Florida A&M so Benjamin arm to punt try to angle this one [Applause] wonderful opportunities squandered there the touchback after that 39 yard punt Florida A&M on offense when we come back well let's take a look at today's bring in the flavor brought to you by McDonald's [Music] we've been showing a lot of love today to the marching 101 under the direction of Patrick Moore and see if they can help get their team back in this one has floated a.m. with a 21-14 lead and here they come out swinging once again Stanley to Andrew Davis the retro junior out of Mount Dora pickup of 10 that moves the chains now you know I'm all about the flip bringing the flavor this game been all about bringing the hips you know before the game J you were bringing the hips you you were like one after the other I got skills to come up with the song my boys can't sing but I like music there's a bunch of formation at the top this happened it may be trying to set you up to go opposite side of the field nobody is there with a ding de lai lai with a quick move trying to show off a little speed as well and as in day rain the man 63 yards and into the red zone all the rappers Willie Simmons set him up nicely gave him that little funky formation it Dickens to set him up for a while receiver bubble screen double move and rain gets behind it becomes a footrace the handoff quickly to the left side Bishop bonnet absorbing some of that contact of the Andre Daniels pickup of two you look at that wide receiving core though more Florida A&M all the exhalations second and third team that got a lot of weapons on the outside ray is one of those converted running backs from high school on that wide receiver position and given space watch out and look at the contrast of passing yards 279 for Florida Anna just 37 for South Carolina State misdirection and you see there Terrell Jennings once more finding the endzone and Terrell Jennings pinchers the ball game for the Rattlers he's it downhill running one cut bigger back they have he's willing to challenge in between the tackles who comes away with the touchdown run this is one here he's going to run downhill somebody's in the hole he's the big back that can lower the shoulder six feet 225 pounds freshman from jeg vil florida and florida A&M is taking control of this football game back-to-back scoring drives of five plays and under two minutes and the Rattlers on the road trying to create some separation back here in Orangeburg and the fans traveled from Tallahassee and the Rattlers on top 28 14 you go back and look at that touchdown catch from azide they Rea how do you get open Jay you're gonna see great lineup here watch him stop block and then keep going and the freshman DJ Davis gets caught looking in the backfield number 15 he peeks ray runs by him for that huge play to put the Rattlers in scoring position and so now a little breathing room for the Rattlers here in Oliver see Dawson's Stadium you see first half the second half pair of touchdowns in that first half so far here in this third quarter as well as those numbers continuing to rise on offense montrezl burrows kills this one inside the 25 I mean excuse me inside the 10 fair catch ball will come out to the 25 so really Simmons all smiles right now up 28-14 on his birthday as well see I was going to talk about the fact that it has terrific programs and journalism now I want to say this journalism the school journalism immediately that the communication Jay schools are Pam Oliver Roy Wood jr. and myself give me another famous woman's not on that list okay Mick gets it out to his receiver and again another hard hit on the outside from Terry Jefferson but the pick up from Omar Cummings is near the first down a solid game on first down and coming out to throw it Jay that's what you're gonna have to do right now because of his speed and quickness and this little three-four defense of the line was really giving them confusion in their running game they're shooting the gaps Nick with a lot of space up ahead good blocking up front that old line well that's the play they ran last week where's Delaware State where Nick took a 57-yard the quarterback draw but that was a really good open field tackle again by Marquis Bell I mean tackle and tyrese Nick is not easy but he's making it look simple man again Lucas if I hurt time they ran it up first time it worked last two times he's blown up the pitchman and that's assignment football that's how you play the option he's responsible for the runner and he's putting some wood on it I mention high school Under Armour all-american signed with Maryland then became a top 20 JUCO player before landing that Florida A&M Nick just runs behind Cummings near the first down marker but Nick decided to try to take matters into his own hands a little bit more you don't have to that's what playing the quarterback position is all about and you're having trouble with reading the secondary and the coverages as they've given you simplify your offense rely more on your pre snap breathe if it's not there you need to get rid of it or take off running but he's definitely having trouble trying to pick up artists defense third and short but Nick able to have some success on third down is the second time they've been able to pick up a third down but across midfield now had just about the 46 yard line the speed they play fast like you think you see a big hole it's going to be a seven or eight yard game in it's only two yards right now South Carolina State is fighting for every arc they can get [Applause] nothing but fun of it love the plate call they set them up you know the moment you think option pitch the Marquis bells gonna leave the middle of the field that leaves you one-on-one with that matchup you've been trying to get to all day and Shaq Davis can keep his footing that's a touchdown no regret not getting in the end zone there Dave this out of Summerville see number 55 yard penalty first down that's why it's important to finish off that play to score because now you're looking at 1st and goal from the 15-yard line it was Michael Terry sit you're out of Duluth Georgia but you see that South Carolina State is trying to pick on that matchup on the outside is 6-foot Courtney Cox coming in for Eric Smith who got disqualified the pitch out once more and a big hit on Omar Cummings [Applause] their own level as Cortez read throwing the wood down there big Alex Taylor number 73 you would assume that we would see him more in the game plan that right tackle again pro prospect whistle before the snap false start offense number 12 five-yard penalty second down noon moving back without the big play yeah continuing to shoot yourself in the foot when you have the momentum you're trying to pick up something here that big catch by Shaq Davis and then here call for the false start now this is when it's a quarterback you show leadership you tell your offensive line hey that's okay that just gives us more room to operate you know when we talk when you're down there in the 8 yard line routes are limited move back a little bit be cocky say I've got more room to throw some passes now and this is where Tyrese Nick has become more dangerous nobody there Nick love you to get away with that we're now third and goal coming the Heatley struggling I just don't think he's seeing the coverages he doesn't understand my forte enemies attacking him there's a couple times in this game you've seen him to stow the ball up for grad and that's just a miss south carolina state still and striking distance for wide receiver second nick with time neck delivers and the ball jarred loose with that mitt big number nine Andrew Hines coming through the senior out of half there that's what we've talked about it's the speed when you got a fast defense they get their step sooner than you're used to you think you've got a receiver wide open it as soon as he catches the ball textbook job by Andrew Hines so the 33 yard field goal attempt Dylan bredesen is on and it's through the uprights so South Carolina State doesn't come up empty they walk away with three points now trailing by 11 we're looking around the MEAC we saw Central and Cookman and action earlier this week the Wildcats walked away with the wind how about Norfolk State spoiling me Howard's homecoming with a big win on the road 49:21 no comment of course you would have no comment of him Morgan State down in Delaware State 34 and three congratulations Morgan State head coach Tyrone Wheatley picking up this first victory as a head coach pursing the coach for a more distinct night we always have so much to say so job that you were speechless here as you see that score from how no comment definitely won homecoming if he just can win the homecoming game seems like [Music] as if de ray is on the sidelines he's still running down a CrossFit field but a penalty marker that one will likely come back that's a shame than how we're now going back today through all we can say is what homecomings better than yours they've had those times before we don't lose homecoming no we don't lose the homecoming game what is going on in Washington DC during the return personal foul blindside block on the return team Catholicism to the goal from the spot in the file first down so you've seen a little blonder penalty markers thrown on kicked off and punt returns to kickoffs especially in that blindside block Paul that's another one things for public safety where they're trying all that was hit right there defenseless guy what they're trying to say in college football now is when you have an opportunities to get in the way and shield them out like the box them out do that but when you take that shot you're gonna see it coming up you see it's coming right there I think you can sir show it to you but there's nothing they call that a defenseless tackler and there's no place for that in today's college football world not doing the right thing for safety reasons Stanley with the handoff to Bishop bonnet and bonnet picks up a couple meanwhile Bryant Stanley came in second on the list at all time career passing yards has now become the all-time leader he only need a 27 to make that move up the charts him he's got a another good game brewing 281 yards in the air with time and Stanley who can hurt you from time to time with his feet takes off and runs out of Alba picks up the first down all the way you see the end of that run he kind of told the guy like hold on there hold on like don't hit me I'm going out of bounds ever seen it take a look it's a good job of escaping right he got the protection nobody's open he steps up and then he weaves to the outside this is a senior quarterback he's going there's an easy easy man easy I'm going out they affectionately call him sunshine around the campus [Music] banach is quickly bottled up mother call them sunshine sunshine yes he couldn't need to be considered that if you have received remember the titans remember it was an all-black team and then it came in from California he was a white quarterback so in this instance at an HBCU Stanley is the signal caller [Applause] and you really embraces it did [Applause] stand and go on to the outside and the school and what a catch by David Mann ago man the go has come up with some really good reception dearly and he and Stanley Branca said that's the second time it's been that back shoulder go up and kidded type of throw and the timing and rhythm in which they're seeing eye-to-eye on that one that was great defense you right there with him it's just a better throw and cast where that's the only place that the ball could be cotton and they practice that fulfil closing in on three hundred yards on Stanley receive it looks downfield gets it away and in completely when you look at Bryan Stanley and a guy who has a lot of tools but he is really wrong in his position what you seen from the first time he stepped on family's campus so the quarterback he is that one his arm comes from before he's always been an accurate thrower but the balls is to float whooping hang he's got a little bit more than sitting on the ball not an overpowering arm but a strong on in the confidence I mean he plays with a certain swagger now maybe that's rubbed off on him being there FAMU but it's a certain type swag he's got now it's a term they like to use where he goes out there in aspects to attack [Applause] and Xavier Smith father brought down that's all I can say you know but but when you watch this BAM you team and you talked about the disappointing ending to their season last year what they like to say now the yellow sauce this year plan will chip-on-the-shoulder slump in his business I mean they were they were the kings of college football for a couple weeks last year when they control their own destiny all they had to do was win one of their last two games to make it to the national championship game they fell short Stan Lee calls his own number able to get it out snip to wedding dangerous pass but great defense there by Jalen bar to anticipate it The Citadel transfer is by T quicken he was right there to bat it away [Music] I'm out on the field for an injured player so Jarnell Brown won't linebacker he's down on the field [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and you talk about j-just continuing that conversation was Florida A&M you know they're unable to participate in any postseason activity self-imposed one-year bans in the NCAA and so they're still out to prove where there's still a lot to play for in terms of pride and this is it Gupta came back really re-energized now hold on Ratliff so that's a hold on rappers right the team's looking real good on TV right now you're doing well but I can promise you there's one team that don't care how y'all look then who with that team be your in-state rival and the Wildcats has a great punt they're a tough decision they're from the mantras burrows and he find himself deep into his own territory could have fair caught that one but Chris could do again such a vital weapon on Gus the end number 13 and that's media time a South Carolina State start over on the return [Music] yeah [Music] buddy pew time for the most wins here at South Carolina State with a hundred and twenty eight on his career when his group is trailing in the fourth quarter their offense has yet to really get going or score as we've seen a defensive pick six along with a pup block for return touchdown credit to Florida A&M on defense this South Carolina State offense was playing at a very high level coming off an impressive output first Delaware State a week ago when they put 38 points on the board but has not been the case today is they've struggled to find a rhythm and this is a series as of late that's been formed by South Carolina State they want the last 14 we talked about that shellacking back in Tallahassee 44 to 21 last year but still a lot of football remaining [Applause] can they get it going what adjustment there by de menthe says girls girls coming down with the catch yet two touchdowns and nearly a hundred yards last week and they've got to get nip going making up for making that poor decision on the punt return before but you'll see him go there to white jerseys but watch him readjust against the underthrown ball good play for the senior from Charlotte North Carolina Nick with plenty of time and that one was deflected and falls right into the hands of Derek Mayweather Mayweather coming up with it another great defensive play by the Rattlers South Carolina State was sad about this South Carolina State went to match protects now is a three-man route that means they're keeping seven people in the block and they still were able to get to the quarterback look at all those red jerseys here with the wall but yet they still allow somebody to win their assignment one on one have the block by Elijah Richardson from his line back position hits the arm ball goes up in the air and as you mentioned there may weather comes away with the interception so not the afternoon tyrese was hoping Forest Stanley trying to go for it still able to shake loose was Marcus Williams as he was tied up with the defender on the outside no penalty marker on the field and it's just an incompletion that was almost a tackle on the outside the kobe Durant was losing his footing and as he was going to the ground he started pulling on the receiver [Applause] so Marcus Williams tried to ask for the flag nothing coming out Durant who stumbled on that one appear to have injured himself he goes to the sideline but you have to like the aggressive play calling by Lily Simmons to continue to go for it even though they have leave that would you know that's what you know what we do after a turnover a lot of aggressive play Carla's go for it like let's go for the home run ball it wasn't our ball to begin with time reward the defense just nowhere to go converging on that one really quickly was Dominguez Wilson also for and you just asked me a defense one more stop to try and get the ball back to the offense if they can come away with the three and out right now that should possibly spark this office but right now offensively it's make or break time for the Bulldogs if they're able to get the football back [Applause] [Music] I'd watch out for number 19 Savior Smith [Applause] burden long Stanley surveying the field man ago bobbles it Helen hangs on to it and that's good enough to pick up the first down he read the covers off his priest not read they tried to roll the safety that gave one-on-one good some cushion to man ago on the outside he knows where he's going to ball right away look the safety to the left you know man it goes running the crossing route second level throw right off the brick walls gone that is timing [Music] Willie Simmons says he's an accurate passer and he can make all the broken yeah and he's just shredding up that secondary for the Bulldogs coming Brian Stann he's seen the coverage that's a difference you see Therese Mick he's not seen the ball the coverage the rhythm he knows what coverages given that ball is coming out in rhythm right now for North Carolina man ago once again after that 15-yard pick up gets another about six yards there the man who goes really stepped up his game a little bit they say it was a little bit flashy as a freshman tonight then was humbled when he got the play to Florida classic last year bursted cool cook knew he was thrown into the fire there for sure no huddle offense marks more for Florida what dangerous throwing why and double coverage and Stanley just tried to force it in there the int the second pick of the game for the Bulldogs defense this time it's Jalen bar huge mistake huge mistake you're in field goal range you're getting ready to put a team down by more than two scores you cannot afford to be careless with the football in the end zone a team that was getting ready to lose hope if you score now they're still just down by 11 they think they've got hope here you cannot make that play if you're Ryan Stanley and now but if you still has a chance he know he got lucky on that one you know he got away with one Nick goes outside and finds DuBose tray Quan DuBose first time he's been targeted today the 24-yard completion [Music] they won't go back miss intercept this is a little D crowd so they're trying to set you up there that's a deep route to get you to come up when it's not there you're trying to sneak somebody behind him but he forced it instead of maybe just going back to the little D crop they call it at the top now make you see starting to feel it picking up a little bit a couple of completions here good for eight that'll bring up second and short and I want to see them we haven't seen them do a bubble school yet but we they're giving you some room if you can do a little bubble screen a little rub play these wire receivers for South Carolina State if you get them the ball they can make the first night no miss Cory seals and at quarterback replacing Nick and right there on the money the will Vereen Vereen went up and got it and the change at quarterback also a change of pace they're picking on Cody cops number 12 backup quarterback he comes in the game and when they get that one-on-one match if they're telling them green light go for it and the Vereen just flew by oh and it's not gonna get easier for Cox they're trying to switch the side of the field now he's matched up one on one verse at Davis at the top of your screen fields once again called upon this time he targets the montrezl birth comes down with it outstanding hands by the mantras Burroughs and the 12-yard reception just like that brings up all the more closer to the records how did I describe that interception by Ryan Stanley huge thicket what do they do they come back and make you pink threads a needle in a very tight window but look at the concentration the whole run of the football that ball doesn't even touch the ground that's a big-time catch by the mantra is Burroughs Bulldogs capitalizing off the turnover putting points on the board they're down by four devices [Music] a turn of the tide here this wonderful MEAC batch up here from Orangeburg South Carolina the Bulldogs trailing by four we talked about it in the break chain the turn of events here fab you has an opportunity to go up big on the road instead throwing the interception creating the opportunity for kori fields the backup quarterback who comes in hold and goes for two for 80 yards and a TV I mean you know he's the hot hand he went with it and we have an opportunity to go up 17 points in the fourth quarter on the road in a conference game you have to do that can't afford to give them hope now all of a sudden South Carolina State you know the defense is going to come fire it up I've got to see hope come back this one a good return of likely going to come back as we see several penalty markers on the field as in de ray who's been electric he's got plenty of speed but we saw that flag travel hominid about 30 yards who was running light step for step with a for a while we got new it to during the return Pony return team number 40 ten-yard penalty from the spot of the foul first time well what was a 61 yard kickoff return is coming back just over ten minutes to go Jay Walker our tiffanygreen here wins you as both of these teams undefeated in conference play one will remain that way at the end of this one Brandon Stanley we'll see how he bounces back after that mistake thrown two picks here today and to stablish defense I will say this when he three to pick six earlier in the game he came back next drive and put some points on the floor - redeems himself can he find redemption once again here against South Carolina State you think about just how important this game is for both teams for Florida A&M they want to pick up this road win because next week they've got North Carolina A&T coming to their digs Stanley Wells to his right delivers it to manna Govan ago still on the bound the tough guy to bring down he gets a lot of yards after kids at first arm tackle is not gonna get him who keeps going 11 yards of a big big wide receiver six 385 pounds solid just talked about before his up side is tremendous work ethic improve during the offseason education where it's great eject [Applause] tighten in motion standard the handoff and again that one in game just has not been there today we've seen it in spurts but just not able to get that consistently that growling yeah and they want to run the ball but they really don't because they realize you're not gonna pick up positive yardage but you have to run the ball when you're up by four with eight minutes so you can't that's why I just can't abandon the running game because every time you throw a complete pass the clock stops and that would give South Carolina's state more time to try the nominal comeback Stanly fine Smith Smith turned around little crease you said you're Smith just tripped up near the 40-yard line Dewayne Nichols was able to just get a piece of him as Smith was about to say how much you boy an absence of a running game extended hand off to the wild receive on the outside where they've got a little bit more room to make people miss Jennings who already has a couple of touchdowns on a day but he moves ahead for just about a yard there but the clock is ticking see that clock ticking right there that's what you want me it's last play by Smith he's special get him the ball behind the line of scrimmage and he says I'll show you how to run the rock get the offensive lineman out there and the speed and Duane Nichols with the touchdown saving tackle then and that's a huge tackle there by Duane nickel team did you give your team an opportunity skill to try to limit them to just a field goal attempt and right now then he's not quite field goal range yet [Applause] on the handoff bonnet but not been able to really break through that second level of a defense not only today but throughout this season what's impressive about South Carolina State's defense they're not selling out making run blitzes you know they're not packing the box with eight people in the box because you can't because of the talent that uranium has a wide receiver at the quarterback position it's just their front for home in the line of scrimmage and they need their defensive secondary to come up with the stop now 5 to 12 bringing the pressure a Sindel a great adjustment bringing the ball and hauling in that catch and picking up the first down there have been some key moments here in this game after South Carolina State looks like they have them on their heels that they're able to convert and then all of a sudden Ryan Stanley just hooks up and finds a one-on-one matchup throwing something you really don't see much in today's college football the out wrap 10 12 yard out routes just over six minutes to go deeper into bulldog territory Bishop bonnet little bit more successful there on that first down sets up second and seven I'm starting to see the defensive line from South Carolina State get a little tired this is a fourth quarter this is when that condition he kicks in see those hands on that waist there to hit they're breathing hard heavy they may be able to maybe catch one of them taking a snooze on the play and hit a poor pick run bought it trying to go for it up the middle and he stopped I'll tell you this we've seen a combination of Xavier Johnson Bruce Johnson tyro Goodwin Broderick Perry Dominguez Wilson all those guys up front for South Carolina State can they get some more push as time continuing to wind off the clock and I think South Carolina State has to sell out right now they've been trying to play zone coverage and have the frontcourt get there it's time to bring pressure all right Stanley anytime you sit back in his own he finds a way to pick your heart there what deception bonad who's been quiet all season long finds the endzone for the first time this season 18 yard touchdown run finished it off there what a call here they go with the draw in shakes Cornelius Walker number 46 in the middle of the field and finds the endzone for him cap off to an impressive Drive by Florida A&M 10 play was 75 yards just over 5 minutes and all important one and one an answer from the Rattlers media timeout without their back against the wall the headman the football all day the moment Bobby saw daylight he capitalized rattlers up 3524 [Applause] 24 [Applause] [Music] rattlers on the road traveling and cheering on Florida A&M as there on top 35 24 just under five minutes away from a big rogue victory for Willie Simmons crew as they had gotten off to their best start since 2009 we talked about the Millennium the second edition of it and this year they're more and more excited down in Tallahassee and they are four minutes and 53 seconds away from ending off 15 years against South Carolina State I could not imagine you not beating South Carolina State in 15 this would be the 15th well Jay it's time for Power Rankings in just a little bit I gotta know that you know what you're looking at it now what do you think South Carolina state's five obviously that's in jeopardy right now number four we're gonna go to Southern University BAM you beat southern so they could be some leapfrog here this is an apprentice victory but through Cookman number three they're winning this as well number two is Alcorn never on the way with it number one is boring - that's North Carolina A&T they make it look easy but on the bubble I ain't FAMU how high will they jump I don't know let me know what you think this up at black college live and I'll tell you but remember it's a Jay's power yeah yes Jenny we all know well Drake Wanda bows with the reception for Jabba say this look if they win here a very important game tonight for you and him traveling to Baton Rouge to take all this other Jaguars I mean if prayer of you can cook pull off that victory there they may move into that top five I think they're one losses been through all on all core from play with anybody and look that was a close game we were there for that a 45:41 decision and favor of the Braves but Panthers were right there for those who missed kids field was in it going strike yes yes remember he played and was the starting quarterback last year something for buddy few six for six dollars for a field I'm not another reception this time again to trick Wanda Bose who was up in different lands on the street and this is what they should have been doing we said the strength for them with his wide receiver core they have the ability to get open they've got some play makers and fields is making quick decisions and throwing darts he's the better thrower of the two between he and Nick and this time finds another target this time is Wolverine and so you see the tempo the pace continuing the picked up first downs didn't chunks of yards that was good for 14 yeah I know families trying to play a little conservative defense but they're getting down the field in a hurry got them over the top and that was easy pitching catch right at the breadbasket for Shaq Davis who is this kid cornfields 21 yard reception buddy Pierre you see the two says let's go for it let's bring this one perhaps within a field goal this is the right read the place to go to the ball in the nice location in between the cornerback and the safety looks like a completely different offense when you've got fields in there five for five on that drive in a minute and 11 seconds Bulldogs going for two and fields just tosses it over and you can return this one as Andrew Hines is able to nap it out of the air [Applause] [Music] so South Carolina's state answering right back cornfields looking sharp Lucinda Dennis Davis [Music] [Music] this one could come down to the wire 3534 de m narrowly holding tight to that lead as Cory feels has really carved up the defenses been inserted into the game he's done a good job he's been on fire he came in throwing darts and he intercepts nails on the two-point conversion that one in completes it was a in the steps we're not going to count that but he scored so quickly he took him down the field I don't believe you have to go for an onside kick here you've got three timeouts I think you kick it deep in that way if you do get the ball back you have decent field position [Music] [Applause] the high bounce handled by Marcus Williams Williams just falls to the ground near the 25 whoo yeah this is set enough to be real dead folks and it's really gonna come down the 3rd day because first and set you down they're gonna run the ball right and they haven't been able to run the ball but you have to do it to eat up some of that clock and the key for Florida A&M they've been successful because on 3rd down Ryan Stanley's found the open receiver and able to keep the drive going he's gonna need about two legit completions to seal this game but they're not going to come easily yeah you think about that gets a third down call my last score you drive with you should bond it up the drop board am 74 14 on third down at a 50% clip you can win a lot of football games doing that man in motion that's the token mine Ronnie trying to make them use a timeout I wonder out eager there quick stop there whistles blown as injured player timeout for an injured player here appears to be Bishop bonnet the ball carrier very very interesting here yeah in Orangeburg now you've got your number one rusher and one thing about ball security see what happens here and it's twisted up sideways you know he's a lot of pain like that football go and his mouthpiece and bonnet out of Jacksonville has been one of the guys to help carry the load given the fact like we mentioned earlier they've already lost Eddie Tillman for the season not with a hip injury Ricky and Willis had to move over to defense and he's been the main guy Terrell Jennings we've seen a little bit of him along with Devon Kendrick but you hope for that young man is okay is he's still on the ground being tended to now being at least sitting up and it was his touchdown scored if he thought sealed the deal for Florida A&M the last possession South Carolina State responded with a quick strike a score of their own so he's okay but no man appears to be in a lot of pain and not putting a lot of pressure on that right leg you carry it off to the field see bonnets number numbers on the day [Applause] so whistle blows clock continues to whine the quick handoff and this time it's Kendrick and it comes down to this it's pretty interesting [Applause] buddy pew still has all three of his timeouts and I will take my time calming play because of that 40 not use much pot on this job as they couldn't have the South Carolina State finally roll the dice and try the Flitz grind Stanley you do this sit back and let them try to pick them apart under 10 to go on the play clock Stanley the pressure in his face rolling out nowhere to go there's no quarterback goes outside the pocket and the ball mandolin scrimmage the front four got after things got interesting here very quickly you got a red-hot backup quarterback that came in and gave the Bulldogs a spark and the defense able to rise to the occasion for one of the few stops in the second half sets up what could be a very interesting 227 and look we've already seen a block punt here today for score for South Carolina state's padieu receives it and markers go down false start offense number 45 yards Kennedy for County now backs up Florida A&M five yards [Applause] montrezl burrows back to receive it for South Carolina State [Applause] baby on the field but Wow second time today Jay the special teams have stepped up for South Carolina State in a big way [Applause] they'll be applied for a probably excessive celebration but I think those points are going to stand [Applause] won't take another look at that one once we get the call because [Music] [Applause] we saw it back in the first half with a punt block return for touchdown and here late South Carolina State does it again [Music] after the play unsportsmanlike conduct against South Carolina State for coming onto the field that foul is on the entire team number 52 is disqualified for the remainder of the contest due to an unsportsmanlike pile received earlier in the game that 15-yard penalty will be enforced on the key we will play the truck [Music] well a lot going on there but at the end of it all you go back here's a nice pump block I actually think they called off the bug block they said we're going to set up a return so everybody here is going to block their man but watch the individual effort that comes through when one guy doesn't get the signal the heat on our South Carolina State and they said it returned first rise to 30 secondly about the South Carolina State special teams there's McCray Terence McCray to block punts on the afternoon recovered in the end zone by DeAndre Daniels but give credit to McCray number 33 see cuz I saw on the field I saw coach run down there special team coach run down there and say off off off and they were telling everybody off off off unfortunate that message didn't get to Terence McRae reported hating him cuz he came through with the block the crane who came in from winston-salem Salem State transferred in and McRae with a huge block and now this is important as well they can get this two point conversion it'll give them a three point lead protecting for against the field goal and feels going to Shaq Davis Davis win at that 50-50 ball just pushing off six-foot-five Shaq Davis comes up with a big two point conversion about the decisions my field that's the right place to go with the football one-on-one matchup throw it up high enough we can get it pretty good covered by marquise Bell whose get 6-3 himself but Jack Davis went up and climb the ladder and came away the two-point conversion in the Bulldogs are winning by three points [Applause] yeah in the end zone then look at this is what's at stake right what's at stake besides Conference standings at supremacy but if he wants to win that thing did that he wants to break that record today and really that interception maybe maybe have been the biggest shift for a South Carolina state there and their mindset and wanting to you know they came into this game one to win it for buddy he you know that but then they gave themselves that hope the defense came up with the interception and the quarterback chain bringing Cory fields in here he came in throwing darts and the offense has been like unstoppable this one lands out of bounds so it was already a penalty assessed on the kickoff we went out there go 35 yard line or so we'll see whether we spotted but more importantly Jake it's 2:18 italy will kick out of bounds kicking team by ruled the ball would be placed on the 50-yard line first down Florida in that's huge Jay because you have to 18 remaining and despite those two picks Ryan Stanley has been throwing the ball relatively well all game long and you start with only passed the field to work with yeah you know 25 yards and they're going for a game-winning field goal that's just two first down so he said it before whenever there's a miscue by the offense Stanley's found a way to redeem himself now he finds himself trailing by three points on the road versus South Carolina State defense in a crowd that's now into the ball game Lord AMM has all three timeouts to work with [Applause] there appears to be a little confusion on the field as [Applause] Willie Simmons trying to get the call man no one really seems he's not thinking about fielder she's coming here on the road he wants his wings thinking about plays that are going to his team in the end zone an aggressive play caller the handoff to Kendrick and Kendrick up ahead still on his feet breaking tackles and Devon Kendrick with an impressive first down run to move the sticks well that was a Miss by Terrell Goodwin number 97 had him at the line of scrimmage he's a good job of escaping by Kendricks to keep the run going and pick up the first down [Music] the handoff once again they go back with Kendrick try to keep it in the middle of the field what do you think about this play co-op well it worked the first time the second time I don't necessarily understand it I think you know you gotta throw and get into that position do you have that much confidence that family's gonna be able to get you 15 yards we needed that you won't give South Carolina state back the ball with any time so when you make that type of play card you're thinking you're gonna kick the field goal to tie it then sit it to overtime but you're not gonna lie South Carolina State good ball back with time surveying the field I'm Smith hung up there just a little bit Jane and bar also got a touch it Fargo's down in this ball thrown behind and hung in the air a little bit there were some jerseys here could I see a penalty flag come in late as well as there's a player that's injured [Applause] so let's borrow these down there's no foul on to play for satellite interference so with this we saw Bishop bonnet go down when South Carolina State was driving guillain-barré down here in and all-important 3rd and 8th coming up what do you draw because they have had success on 3rd out yeah it's predicated but the way they run their offense they really take a look to see what the defense aligns in and if they've got the right play call then they will run it what we've seen all the time is whenever they come out with the zone type scheme that Coach Simmons can call from the sidelines he attacks the senior you don't see him throwing deep outside for attacking the scenes then the curls are taking the underneath stuff when they do bring pressure they like little wheel route with the slot receiver faking going outside then going up woman remember 85 David man ago who's been one of the big targets for Ryan Stanley along with number 19 Xavier Smith Stanley with time wide open finds this man Kendrick and Kendrick keeps going just near the 20-yard line so again another down conversion to keep going and it was a a 2 yard pass that ended up picking first down yardage and then some under pressure Ryan's family just moved around in the pocket and found the open receiver that one good for visiting Rattlers in the red zone see something here touchdown the big time and the true freshman Kotori on the 19 yard reception huge score with a mandate to go we knew the mindset they were thinking touchdown they wanted to touchdown and whenever they play zone I said they a stable unit Stanley attack seems attack the scene of the zone that is a touchdown great job by the freshman tight in from Tallahassee to extend over the goal line [Applause] the point after attempt is good and God be high as celebrating after that Kumari young touchdown reception here late for Florida A&M we talked about how the score right when they seed zone we sent this these are the weak spots when you see this cover three zone right here and right here with a one - there were two options open for him to throw the football you take a look look at both seen routes there's one at the top and there's one at the bottom safety can't win put them in a bind stuck the football in there to the tight end and that's where they've been getting them in that zone covers nothing outside they've always taken advantage of the seniors and that's one adjustment we did not see South Carolina State mate but again you go back to just some of the key moments in this game that interception that we talked about with South Carolina State giving them the momentum back put the cellar excessive celebration on the end of that touchdown which allowed and the kick out of bounds allowed them to start from the 50-yard line so they feel to work with and once that happen coach Simmons mindset change he went from I'm not worried about thymus football games I'm gonna win this football game you give me a quarterback that can throw and I only need to go 50 yards with two and a half minutes oh he was up in talent burro's watches that one bounce it to the end zone for a touchback and j-just a no-brainer just over three and a half minutes we've seen 29 points scored combined with these two teams I think it goes back and it begs the question of can they finish late thus far Florida A&M has answered yes to that question against the southern at home a big game that night then Norfolk State they want by - and then last weekend we mentioned beating North Carolina Central for homecoming and that's what we say winning those type of games lets you know you got a team that's not going to give up that can face adversity and we'll find a way to win and they find a way to hold on now play here from the Rattlers and the Bulldogs spend a timeout that was around Richardson right there chilly fields down showed up in that something where the freshman has to learn don't jeopardize taking a sack and you have an opportunity to get rid of the football see when you're in this type of a hurry-up situation look look look it's got to go you can't outrun everybody just throw the ball out of bounds and when you throw the ball to bounce the clock stops now you just have to use a timeout [Applause] now this really is Spurs some huge MEAC matchups that are on our way and on our air will be at Howard November 2nd and then Central and AMT that's always a big rivalry weekend the act eagle classic along with the Florida classic boat on November 23rd you can catch Lou when our ESPN networks still want to see them get back to getting rid of the football quickly you don't have to get all the yardage back a minute and college football there's a long amount of time especially the two timeouts giving the football second and 12:40 fields with nowhere to go and some pressure was coming once again in an incompletion now third and long once more Reynaldo Flowers has been flying around these last couple of plays up front for the Raptors what we're seeing from Florida A&M is playing that cover to two safeties high five guys underneath not even looking for the run they're trying to crowd the line of scrimmage to make it tough on the freshman to get his pre-snap breed tuck your honesty what can they do in and out of the hands of Wolverine Hillary the weather had the first down instead it brings up fourth and 12 so who saw the great consistency of cornfields when he came into the game on what could be the all-important final drive of the game he's not been able to connect yeah they changed up the defensive scheme to me it's kind of confusing look right now there are no defensive linemen in the game for Florida A&M well they got one but the rest they got beautiful linebackers rushing the quarterback not allowing him to get a look but this is high cover - you want to try and find something in the middle of the field but they've got a lodger Richardson number 15 their line back between 12 yards back looking to convert their first fourth down of the season field right there and just dropped and that'll do it right in the hands of date Ron James and James couldn't hold on to it he had no space in front of him and that spoils what would have been a historic day for buddy Pugh but he has another shot next week and for the remainder of the season to try to catch 1:29 a little disappointment on the face of the Dean of coaches in the MEAC on the other side Willie Simmons is celebrating a huge road victory for the Rattlers what a game and tell you what me at football in 2019 is gonna be wanting more interest in seasoned we've seen you got it still have three legitimate contenders at the top amt Florida and then Bethune Cookman and you may hear from the South Carolina State squad again keep in mind they still play North Carolina A&T we know whenever they get together with the Cookman it's always a war Willie Simmons can celebrate as his team gives him the best birthday present he could ever ask for a conference win on the road and the best start for Florida a.m. since 2009 the Rattlers win it late 40 to 38 and Jay your final thoughts on how this one ended fantastic football game a throwback game particularly in the fourth quarter the lead changes but you have to give credit for these Rattlers they've learned how to finish off opponents which was missing a season ago how long will it go we don't know but we've seen this act before but I think what do you call it with lynnium 2.0 that's right it's scary for the rest of the conference it may be better than the first rule in 5 & 1 as we mentioned overall still unblemished in the Mid Eastern Athletic Conference both these teams put on a show Florida coming out victorious for jaywalker and our entire crew just agreed saying so long the Orangeburg South Carolina the Rattlers strength and strength and struck again [Music] you
