2019 SWAC Football: Southern vs Arkansas Pine Bluff

[Music] you are watching college football on ESPN 3 tonight we come to you from Pine Bluff Arkansas where the Golden Lions from Arkansas Pine Bluff are getting set to host the southern Jaguars from Baton Rouge Louisiana hello everyone I'm butch elsinore along with college football analyst Jorge Vargas thank you for joining us tonight and we think we have a great ballgame for you of course this is kind of like the old guard versus the new guard because coming into this one for Southern University actually one of Western Division championship last year Arkansas Pine Bluff comes in on a roll they are three and one winners of their last three consecutive games and you know what Jorge we expect to see a lot of offense between these two squad if you like offense you want to sit down and grab some sandwiches to relax and enjoy this game we expect probably upwards upwards of 70 points of offense I would say today these off its want to prove a lot when it's conference game they're ready to let things roll they're warmed up now ready to go this is their first conference game so they've they're ready to show out and coming into this one both squads have a lot of explosive players let's take a look now at the visitors from Baton Rouge we start with number eight but Darius Skelton and the thing about this guy he's very familiar with this area he's a good quarterback but this is a homecoming for him he played his high school ball at my high school and he won an awful lot of games there yeah no question about it speaking of winning seventh grade till his senior year the man only lost seven games that's impressive to find Bluff high school to three consecutive 6a state title games winning the last two his junior and senior year and then if that wasn't enough he took the basketball team to a state championship as well in his senior year this guy is everything about winning that's how he gets it done what did junior college and guess what you want another championship there so he is certainly ready to roll on the other side the Golden Lions can do it through the air and they can do it on the ground and usually the ball goes to that guy number two Taylor Porter the defending rushing champion in the sweat but when you average a little over five yards a carry that's how you get things done six touchdowns our season already 336 yards he is the hammer he is the man that they are going to try to loosen up that Panther defense and then use all their weapons and get them rolling to attack well we're getting set for a good old-fashioned catfight tonight here in Pine Bluff as the gold Alliance hosts the Jaguars from Baton Rouge kickoff is coming up next on ESPN three we've got your back 24/7 glad you could be with us tonight for this wax showdown between Arkansas Pine Bluff and Southern University here at Simmons Bank feels southern has won the toss they have elected to receive the football so Arkansas Pine Bluff will be kicking to Southern to start this game off tonight and we expect a really exciting ball game and let's talk a little bit while we have a chance about the coaches first we will start with the visitors from Baton Rouge Dawson Otis is entering his eighth season at Southern University and during that time he's never ever had a losing season and with a home standing Arkansas Pine Bluff Golden Lion Cedric Thomas is entering his second year and as I mentioned on the top his team is off to a three in one start and now Austin Chris Minsky will get us underway his kick goes deep and into the end zone Christopher Chaney follows it in but that will be a touchback so the Jaguars will start on offense first and ten from the 25 yard line and with that you will see the guy I talked about right on the top number eight ladarius Skelton will come out to play quarterback you know hurry talked about his history he's from Pine Bluff he went to high school here won a lot of games at Pine Bluff and now he comes back so you know he has to be motivated for this one and his families that probably confused or used to wear black glove colors and ethical heather southern blues right that's got to be a little confusing so Skelton that quarterback puts a man in motion he hands it off and a big game for the Jaguars on the first carry of the day that is number two Devon been on the carry and he makes a nice pickup there last week been carried nine times for 39 yards that they hand it to Ben again and he powers forward front other big gains and a first down for the Jaguars tell you the pace of the southern right now they are certainly putting Pine Bluff on their heels right now they're trying to keep that pace up getting plays off with about ten seconds Blake Connor on the stop for the Golden Lions first down now for the Jaguars operating at about the 39 yard line motion Skelton tries to throw the other way wide receiver screen it was crowded but look at Bedford working his way through the traffic and he comes up with another first down for the Jaguars him once again number 14 Blake Connor hoping out on the tackle now let's Kelton did a great job that ball the snap he looked hard left looked like it was gonna throw it left and went right back to the right for that wide receiver screen nice job there good job by Bedford it didn't look like they had a lot there but he made something out of nothing and it's a first down for Southern University operating now in Golden Lions territory so Skelton calling out the signals he's a good runner also this time he hands inside again been looking for some room but there's not much going on there really good defense by that truck for from the Golden Lions coming up there Jakari McKinney one of the guys there and number 58 Jalen Stewart the 64 240 eight pounder from Memphis helping out on the tackle yeah Pine Bluff saying look you can do a lot of things but you're not gonna run it off our gut that's just not gonna happen who talked to coach earlier this week and that's exactly said they stopped the run before anything so the Jaguars on the move Skelton with a pass and he overshoots a man who was wide open there he's trying to hit Jamar Washington and he was open right there the seam he just don't were shot him yeah just a little inaccurate there but a nice play call and again southern really working on the pace they slowed down a little bit and started looking to the sidelines for extra calls but I liked those first four or five plays just boom boom boom they had them scripted and ready to go big third down here third down coming up for a ladarius Kelton he calls Pine Bluff Arkansas his hometown and wait love to get a win tonight at some time throws one out near the sidelines good catch right there by number 81 today beyond Davis with a catch right there for the Jaguars Shawn Steele number 12 making the stop with the Golden Lions got it four yards but there's another big fourth down right here yeah fourth down coming up for the Jaguars fourth and about five and so far that Southern offense is still out on the field so an aggressive move coming up on the Jaguars early in this ball game Stilton skelton calling out the signals he's looking to pens has a lot of time in a man is why it opened out there in the flat that is Bedford he falls down before number 21 jaylen Thigpen would come in to touch him down but he was wide open on that play Jorge Bedford was wishing he could have got his feet underneath them because that could have been six easily no question about that but what he did even though he was stumbling he made sure he made the catch how about coach Odom's rolling the dice early in this game as the Jaguars convert on fourth and about five so first down for southern and the handoff goes inside to Finnegan and he just powers his way forward picks up about three yards inside you know he has been last year he was their leading rusher with 707 yards so he's the guy that Jaguars like to go to for that tough yardage inside I he's got 228 yards before this game hi girls summer continues at the VSU homecoming concert on Wednesday October 16th starring Megan Dee stallion and a steal for the golden Alliance of 511 178 pound junior from Arlington Texas they mark just shy that first down while I thought he I thought he kind of got that so a tough spot there but what happened the receiver fell down he was just about to throw that ball and realize the receiver was slip and then just pulled it down around great move by Skelton keeping his poise on the play this time he turns and he hands inside and it's not going to be much from going on there a short gain for the Jaguars and the stop will be by Jalen Thigpen yeah the Jaguars are gonna come up with another big down that's the first down though he picked up the first down so southern converts again Skelton on the keeper and we have whistles on the field and the officials are going to stop the play yeah it looks like big Jonathan Bishop moved a lil he was he was pulling on that play it looked like he got a little bit too excited that Jorge that was Jonathan Bishop the 6-2 300-pounder from Birmingham and it's interesting because when we talked to Coach Dawson Odom this week that's one of the things he specified that they wanted to get off to a quick start he said we must get out of the gates quickly and that's what the Jaguars are doing tonight yeah I think he put the alarm clock on with the cotton going first and 15 now Skelton looking to pass throws the screen the opposite way and it's almost intercepted by the golden alliance boy I tell you what someone sniff that one out because he tried to go back with the screen and I think it was Sean Steele number 12 who was out there to break that one up yeah you can't get there put your hands up that's exactly what he did ricocheted the ball up and they almost got underneath that for an interception so got to be more careful with the ball solid defense by the Golden Lions on that play is going to bring up a second and long as the Jaguars motion to the left it's guiltin hands it inside the been on the draw play and Ben is dragged down inside by number 21 Jalen Thigpen nice tackle good solid tackle there looked like he might have gotten a little more on that play but Thigpen got him down yeah it's a good tackle because that could have been a lot more dangerous and it was an interesting drop plague skeleton did it I was a real fast take it to the back and stick it underneath your running backs arms there usually draws her a little bit more slow developing this was a quick draw think Ben had nine tackles last week for the Golden Lions in their win over Tennessee State and now we have an official timeout on the field so the timeout is charged to Arkansas Pine Bluff and they want to do something to try to tighten up that defense and see if they can do something but let's talk a little bit about it you put your finger on it the pace of play by the southern Jaguars they've come out with that up tempo and it's really paid some big dividends yeah when you put put them on their heels and again I don't think Pine Bluff got a chance to sink themselves into the game at all and I think it's a great strategy of for southern they talked about getting off to a fast start coach Dawson did and and when you do that you set the pace and you kind of set a scrub for your team and then they executed well I think that's the other ingredient right you can set all the pace you want and if you don't execute it really well it doesn't matter what your script says you've got to be able to deliver and that's exactly what his team did a nice job by southern getting off big third down here third down in about 12 yards for another Jaguars first down skelton at quarterback he started really slowly last week in the game at FAMU but you know what he's come out today and he is focused on his homecoming here in Pine Bluff Skelton in the pocket that's nice protection throws up it oh and it's almost intercepted number 21 jaylen Thigpen he's been in the thick of it early in this ball game and he almost came up with a huge turnover for the Golden Lion well skeletons gotta thank his receiver Jamar Washington Jamar washed it pulled that ball right out of from being an interception there so he is very lucky not to watch the defensive play by Washington they're pulling that ball out not letting the interception happen that's huge so since our baraja will come on to attempt the field goal it will be a 40-yard attempt and it's going to be blocked and it's blocked by the Golden Lions so the long drive is for long as the Golden Lions come up with a great defensive play on the 40-yard field goal attempt by saison baraja number 29 Jordan Brown appeared to be the guy in there to put the pressure on ya seas are just had it looked like it was a little bit low taking off out of there he needed to get that Paul up you see it didn't get too much beyond helmet high and you got to get that ball up in the air yeah Jordan Brown was the guy that picked it up as the block was somewhere in the middle of the pile but you right or hey it wasn't a lot of altitude kicks and it's kind of tough to get it over that big line and you got a defensive lineman that are six something you better you better kick it up so now the Golden Lions will take over on offense with Skylar Perry at quarterback Perry that lefty throws one out into the plats has a man and a big pickup by Taylor Porter away with an impact way to start the game for the Golden Lions as kena Tate came over to make the stop of the Jaguar yeah we talked him about being a powder well that's a great showcase of how he can do things to the outside getting volley outside made some great moves cutting it up and speaking of up tempo the Golden Lions are coming out pretty quickly themselves this time the handoff goes to Porter again and he doesn't have much room inside he's going to be brought down by the KB on champion the big guy Spring Texas went to the KT high school I say big guy he's six nine 290 pounds humongous I think we have to go with that he's still growing man yeah baby still grow but he made two yards out of that and that really should have probably been no gain at all so good job by Porter second down for the Golden Lions Skyler Perry under pressure and he goes down and that is Lumpkins Calvin Lumpkins number one who was shot out of a cannon and made that stop in the backfield a great job look he just comes barreling right through the back picks the wrong guy you can't let him go clean and he had no time to make a decision therefore Skyler Perry he's just too fast Lunt kids just blew that whole play up you know he's the guy he's been on the Dean's List for four consecutive years and he wears number one because he has the top GPA on the team so I'll give him number one too especially when he can make plays like that oh really so a big third down coming up now pass over the middle is almost cut and then almost intercepted by the Jaguars they're Lumpkins had a chance at trying to intercept that two to pick two Panthers had a chance to intercept that ball yes myth Rory Smith had a shot at the interception late but he could not hang on to it so now that will bring on the punty team for the Golden Lions as Miles piney will try it on to the field to kick the ball back to the southern Jaguars big defensive stop by the Panthers stepping right up getting the ball back to their offense here so Piney gets the kick away and it goes deep in it's going to be fair caused by number 24 Brandon Hinton and that is where the Jaguars will start first and ten with the ball resting at the 18 yard line but while we have a chance over here you had lankans on that big sack he's been one of the leaders on the team for the Jaguars last year you know he had led the team with 82 tackles and he's one of their Star Wars oh yeah he's got 19 tackles already going in there seven of those solo tackles offices which tell me he's a guy that moves around a lot we will pause for a timeout here in Arkansas Pine Bluff with no score for twist they must never have tasted win the new low rider s classic look and welcome back to the Simmons Bank field everyone no score between the Southern University Jaguars and the Arkansas Pine Bluff golden lions and that is ladarius Kelton on the keeper for the Jaguars with a nice gain he's going to be taken down by number 12 Sean Steele the 5-11 178 pound junior from Arlington who's made several plays early in this ball game this time Skelton passes out to the outside to Bedford he has it and he fights his way up feel for another nice gain of about 10 yards for the Jaguars once again Steele is there to make the stop last week he had a career-high three pass breakups and that game against Florida A&M so steel is being tested early in this ball yeah notice how quick they get that ball off in those first two plays they are moving so it's guilting with another first down for the jaguars they moved the ball well on their first possession and he's picking up right where they left up this time he flares it out - Cameron Mackay and Mackay turns up field before he's finally carried out of bounds but it's another nice gain on first down by the Jaguars Rico Meriwether also number nine over there to get him out of bounds Jaguars done a nice job of mixing up the offensive sets and mixing up the play call and keeping the Golden Lions on the peels second down in about three now for the Jaguars offensive coordinator chinna's Berry has come in with a really good looking game playing so far in this one Skelton turns hands to Bend and he's going to be wrestled to the ground by number 91 Jakari McKinney you know football is a game of being predictable and knowing what you're gonna get with Ben you know you he's gonna always fall for it he's gonna explode once he sees any kind of space he just takes off he doesn't hesitate it also as a as a coach you can plan on that so far in the game Skelton five of eight for 42 yards passing this time he rose to his right has a man again and he's finally gonna have another first down again that is Bedford TJ Bedford and number 35 Paul Reeves closes in in a hurry the 510 192 pound senior that doing a great job of making himself you present your numbers to the quarterback show me a wide-open real fast and your quarterback and pull the trigger it's guilty this time hands it to been a good job I so really and bad is going to be very close to another first down for the Jaguars it depends on the spot who's gonna be very close and this is one of the things man again Dan salmon showing some patience before just going right up the middle and he's gonna be backing up that push down for the jack is the secret officials put it down side warmers over 71 one of the defensive players on the spot practices some confused of the beast you have got the country

16 man might get and we come right back down the line team with the funniest to know school between the southern Jaguars and the Golden Lions from Arkansas pipeline but the super big Samsung QLD TV is made for football number 28 on the carriers and welcome back to Simmons baked for you whether Jaguars are on the move Christopher Cheney just had a nice run inside for about eight yards for the Jaguars so they are almost in the red zone again as he turns and hands to Cheney and Cheney just carries the defense forward showing some power on the bliz that southern offensive line continues to open up the bowls Joshua Wallace making it the stone oh yeah averages over five yards of carry he shows you why how about I'm going to carry some guys through there southern in such a hurry and great pace they can't even wait for commercial breaks can they so first down and tend to go put the ball resting at about the 16 yard line Skelton turns hands inside again and it's another big gain inside by the Jaguars and Xavier Mitchell quickly to make the stop you know we haven't mentioned it that once but I'll tell you that the offensive line is giving those seams and allowing those backs to be able to make that room there Skelton again big hole inside and it looks like Christopher Chaney again number 28 on the carry and a nice pickup for him he has very quick feet and he's one of those guys that can make something happen last week he only carried the ball two times but he was very impressive in those two characters too so good you remember him right he's hard to hit really has the quick feet in does a good job of dancing inside but southern trying to see if they can finish off this Drive Jani in motion Skelton Keith he's in for the touchdown a great move by ladarius Skelton good job on the fake kept it and then he showed some patience before he ran it in for the touchdown yeah you know and that tells me that there really trust our offensive line right you have a running back you have a quarterback that is patient enough to look because they can they expect their offensive line to clear some room for him that's exactly what happened and great cutback against the grain everything going right he pauses there in the middle and the confusion does a nice job picking the hand off there and then just cuts it right up in for the touch since our baraja on for the extra point of tips and it is good and just like that the southern Jaguars have jumped out at pride here in Pine Bluff welcome back everyone 346 to go in the first quarter and the southern Jaguars are leading the Arkansas Pine Bluff Golden Lions seven to nothing after that incredible Drive that took them down for a touchdown Skelton had a four yard TD run to cap that drive to put southern out in front it was 12 plays 83 yards and we have a touch back on the kickoff but the drive Jorge 12 plays 83 yards and it took him four minutes and 20 seconds to put it in the end zone that's exactly what you're looking for I mean and again they're so the southern offenses looked really solid the first drive they had they weren't able to get the three but they come right back under skirts pace at the beginning of the drives and then they slow it down and get more methodical towards the end they had some great running and again at the end of the day just just a great job by the offensive line grady holds darius Skelton taking it around on the counter kind of played by the heat by him into the end zone Cedric Thomas the second year head coach for Arkansas Pine Bluff he went to and nine last year but a lot of those games were extremely close and his team is off to a quick start this year and the give goes to Taylor Porter and he goes nowhere he's knocked down after a short gain the Jaguars tightening up on defense Joe Davis number 42 is there to knock him down well when you have a defense that knows your offense is gonna hold on the ball for a while they go hey we don't know how many plays we're gonna have so it actually gives your defense more energy because they feel like hey if we get a good three and out our offense is going to go there and drive so it's amazing how that kind of system works and so the officials have a flag on the play we will hear what they have to say so that's a bonus you like to get a defensive holding and you get a first down on the penalty for the Golden Lions whatever works right if you get your team going that's what you're looking for some Alliance not Golden Lions now operating first and ten skyla perry's passes complete a diving reception made right there went over thirteen the one Miller last year's freshman of the year and the SWAC did a great job getting his hands on that one for the catch he did he went down low to get it his job and that time Perry's gonna air it out but we do have a flag on the play a little contact and we could have passed it appearance on the play as Jordan eastling was one of the defenders on the spot for the Jaguars man I'll tell you interference calls nowadays are just hard to come by I mean if you breathe on someone you've got a call coming your way and it is it is it is incredible so all of a sudden just like that penalties have jump-started it was Chase Foster the guilty party although pass interference call but penalties have jump-started this Golden Lions offense and they're now in southern territory and they're moving the football skyla Perry still a quarterback left-handers looking deep has a man down there and he just overshot him because he had an open receiver Henry Ballard the 6-3 205 pound junior from st. Louis was kind of coasting all by himself yeah Harry was a wide open they're about as good as it gets I just don't too much arm too much arm there he couldn't run underneath it they'll definitely kicking themselves effort play on tape so Skylar Perry who started at quarterback today I need to mention the Golden Lions do use two quarterbacks the other quarterback Shannon Patrick actually led the game-winning drive last week with four seconds he threw a 17-yard touchdown but this is Perry on the attack fires it inside and it's intercepted and the Jaguars have the ball Joe Davis read that one all the way and he stepped in front to make the interception for the southern Jaguars you see a big man make that move watch this right there I mean he just read that ball jumps right out in there and I love it you almost switched your arm like a good running back there there it is switched it takes it up the field great job it doesn't fires up a defense like that well you know what that means it means someone did a great job during film study this week they saw that play on tape he was waiting for it and when it happened in the game he just reacted that's that's coaches giving your players great reads and then those players executing those reads and following through politically what that is putting them in position to make the plays so a big turnover in this ballgame as ladarius Skelton and the southern Jaguars get the football back in a big hole this time in cipher number 21 Craig Nelson and he's gonna pick up four or five yards inside Rico Meriwether hustling and to make the stop so that offensive line for southern doing a great job early in this ballgame yeah they're dominating and if they keep up at this pace it's just gonna wear down we see these kind of effects in the fourth quarter Craig Nelson again on the tackle carry not much room working there as a see Gilliam came in to make the stop for the Golden Lions [Music] [Music] and there's a flag on the play the

hands inside and again their group to run inside for Nelson before he is wrapped up by a Merryweather we made a couple of plays here in the first quarter for the golden vials and what's your second is continuing to play at that up-tempo pace the handoff goes to Nelson teaches powers are just University gossip region nifty granny would excite ribbon and the world renowned Virginia State University

designs box office 84 carries 428 and now we see Nelson getting into the mix and the Jaguars run it in for the touchdown the gift was tip number 42 Joe - excuse me that Joe Davis see we don't have that on our roster but obviously it was the big fullback number 48 taking it in for the touchdown - rod Sims with a touchdown for the southern Jaguars I can't say enough about the offensive line for the Jaguars just just fantastic job opening they ran like a little stunt in there created the seam and he went right through it Martel fought to no odds to add the extra point and he does and just like that with 40 seconds to go here in the first quarter the southern Jaguars find themselves out in front 14 nothing here's a look at that touchdown right here look at him a nice little leap there but look at how many guys from Pine Bluff are on the ground as he goes in there and that just shows you how good that offensive line created the room there for him to go right in untouched and Jorge what a job the Jaguars are doing spitting spreading the wealth around you've had so many different people touching the football here in the first quarter well I think as a defensive player when you don't know who's getting the ball and you get different sets and they keep mixing it up it's run it's a great balance of run and at the end pass that's just so that's hard to stop get on your heels and it's hard to stop roll well and so far I mean we know my bluff the Golden Lions can put up some offense they were averaging 37 points a game and we're going to see some of that coming up right here as another kickoff sails through the endzone so the Golden Lions will start with the football on their own 25-yard line looking to put some points on the board [Music] it's been it's been Jaguars been very impressive so far and I think Pine Bluff you watch they're gonna come out there they're swinging I can see the mother sidelines in there their coaches are very vocal and it looks like that offense is ready to roll here number 10 Shannon Patrick checks in at quarterback this time for the Golden Lions he's 62 190 pounds he's a junior from West Palm Beach as I mentioned before he let the winning drive last week for the Golden Lions this time he turns and he hands to Porter and he's tripped up in the backfield and not a lot of room going on right there you know you look at this offensive line for the Golden Lions and Jorge that this has been one of the best offensive lines in the SWAC last year they only gave up ten sacks the entire year and from that standpoint so far this year they've only given up 5 SEC's yeah that's impressive when you can do that and we'll see if they can put it together right here I mean you know Patrick has six TDs on the season 63% of as a passer so he can certainly be accurate and he's got some weapons I would look into find Ballard or Wilkes to start to open things up here and once again that is the end of the first quarter and as we head to break the Sun and Jaguars find themselves with a 14 nothing lead over the Golden Alliance from Arkansas Pine Bluff we'll be right back in just a minute [Music] [Laughter] [Music] there are testing the major Ezra's accepted stop by and see doctor to be saluted I will success we are southern [Music] [Music] and welcome to Pine Bluff Arkansas where the Golden Lions from Arkansas Pine Bluff are playing host to the southern Jaguars and Swack action and the Golden Lions actually have the football operating second and eight as the handoff goes to Taylor Porter and he is spun out of bounds after picking up about six yards over there for the Golden Lions here's something interesting Pine Bluff you know in the second quarter they outscore their opponent 54 to 15 so this is exactly what they've been waiting for the second quarter and then they're ready to unleash the Beast shall we say so second quarters where they'd like to get it done well they have a lot of weapons that one of their weapons is not available tonight running back Keyshawn Williams he's out with the knee injury of course he's a major part of that offense he and Porter have a nice one two points this time the pass goes to Porter the corner it's a good race now and Porter is going to be spun down by Benjamin Harris as he grabbed him he threw it down and that's going to be a horse collar on the plate so you're gonna take on it's in that big game yeah no question about it so the second quarter they're ready to rumble unleash the beast that's exactly what they did beautiful play southern read it but just a little bit short of that plate and said that turns into a huge huge pickup right here well when you look at Taylor Porter - he's one of those guys he has that speed to get to the edge and that's what he did right there you know that was as good as a handoff the way they just flipped that ball to him like that and then the rest was up to him to use his speed to get around the outside first and then I wait off coaches and said I'm going back in there they were trying to keep him out for at least two play and he said no put his helmet back on ran right back in there late hit was the penalty called on the play and that will set up the Golden Lions with the first and ten with the ball resting on the 16 yard line and once again Porter gets the call and he works his way forward for a nice gain inside he said coach if I'm gonna be in here give me the ball but is it amazing how it looks like the light just went on for Pine Bluff well they're capable of scoring a lot of points and we see it happening right now as they start to move the offense Kyle McGregor one of the southern Jaguars on the play second down coming up for Shannon Patrick and the offense floats one deep and is underthrown and intercepted in the end zone a fine play by that's southern defense and that was interception by number 26 that is Smith some more to Maurice Smith with a fine defensive play to take that one away yeah he didn't put enough air underneath that ball and in the one place he couldn't miss was short and that's exactly what happened and the defender did a nice job of coming right back to the ball and defenders I always say sometimes just wait for the ball he actually went got it as well so that's a great job by southern there well and that was one of those plays where you know they've done it a hundred times you want that ball high and out you want it to be fading out to the side and he hung it up a little too far inside and Smith came away with the interception for the Jaguars so once again Skelton with some room to operate flag down as he goes over to register on the play hunter register with the nice catch and run number four for the Jaguars Sherwood the flag is four looks like it's against the Jaguars yes southern is walking backwards it had happened right after he caught the pass it might have been a block near the line of scrimmage illegal of God number nine outfit for the gold that was Cameron Mackie the guilty party and you know you come back and you cut back on someone and apparently camera Mackey did something that the officials thought was that he probably shouldn't have done that situation well you know it's all part of safety right trying to trying to keep players a little bit more healthy and again I'm sure Jaguars fans don't like it but uh and you got to keep people from the low blocks like that especially you don't see him coming Skelton with a handoff again he goes to Ben and he's gonna be yanked down I think he's gonna be yanked down for a short loss by Xavier Mitchell get some help from Blake Connor you can see the defensive line of Pine Bluff actually shooting the gaps more on with their stunting more but they're certainly more aggressive or now they settled into the game they're starting to see what southern is doing but they were certainly off the ball a lot quicker than the gap 13 15 to go here in the second quarter southern leading at 14 nothing Skelton with some time in the pocket looks around ball is up chips up still up and I think it's intercepted what a play by number 14 play Connor that ball must have been tipped up three or four times before it ended up in that I was a game of hot potato there I thought it hit the ground at some point I really did I can't believe it actually stayed up in the air the whole time and didn't hit the ground but what a play and how about not giving up on a play like that one watch it it looks like at least three players actually touched that football you can see right there the offensive guy had it and then it is tipped over - oh yeah beautiful play absolutely great job don't give up on the play nice job Blake Connor how about those hands so as they take a look at that one over here I think they're going to come back and glyph give that interception to play Connor yeah I don't see anything conclusive in there that would overturn that they call it a deception anything to say that it's done nobly Connor played a whale of a defensive game for the gold Alliance last week he had nine tackles and six solos and he's already making a big impact in this game this year let's take another look yeah good slow-mo here pops up obviously it's clear their defender right on it yeah yeah you get to see Skelton fired over the middle he had plenty of time and I think he was trying to hit Cameron Mackay and a second tip actually had his hands on it yeah when Mackay went back to grab it couldn't haul it in bounce right at the defenders hands and there's certainly nothing there at all that could show you it hit the ground at all well from every look we've seen so far there's nothing conclusive that that ball hit the ground I mean that it looked like it went right there in Connery there's made of fine the pits of play migrate this should this should and and what of what if we were to play for Pine Bluff right puts them right back into the end of their situation they threw an interception a minute ago probably got down just a bit now they are basically right back in business deep and Jaguars territory and looking to score well you know the office that just misfired and here you go with the defense coming up with a big play to give you the football right back and that's the whole thing why coaches always say you never give up on a play never stop till the whistle blows and it's one of those things right there and you never do it in the game you just win each play when he's play and you look at the scoreboard later right you know you have to keep going and I tell you both these teams are so relentless if you look at how it unfolded last week they both had big comebacks in the fourth quarter Arkansas Pine Bluff won their game in southern came up just a little short and theirs but neither team has any quit in them no doubt Shannon Patrick back at quarterback I huge home for Taylor Porter the 510 202 pounds senior from Florida he was the first team preseason all swag player coming into this year because he was all sweating last year and we mentioned before that he he led the conference in rushing with 1220 yards last season and he's off to a big start here in the second quarter yeah goes to Porter again and this time he's going to be stopped after a short game yes are both had the previous play though I think what he showed so well there was an absolute explosion he saw a hole that he just blew right through like Porter's lost his shoe there so he's coming out his shoe can't keep up with him so Porter goes out to take care of the shoe and OH Allen number26 checks in and that is because Keyshawn weaves will not play in this game tonight he has a knee injury the handoff goes down how about that his first carry the five nine 180 pounder from Pine Bluff home or gala the freshman takes it in for a touchdown he gets his chance going there Porter loses a shoe and Allen comes in there says I got you man I'm gonna go right into this book I'll take care of this one that worked out pretty good for Baltimore Alan you know Porter carried the mail all the way down there until you get close and then Omar Allen the freshman from Pine Bluff takes it in for the touchdown Zach his Niska is on to attempt the extra point and his kick is up and it is good but check out Omar Allen slipping tacklers and he's in for a touchdown for the Golden Lions we got a boss for a timeout 12th 14 to go in the second quarter we have a ballgame 14 to 7 only pay for what you need 14 to 7 the seven Jaguars leading the Arkansas Pine Bluff go tonight here in Pine Bluff Arkansas where's my bluff came into this game winners of three consecutive games southern at one in three Pine Bluff was three in one that last touchdown drive by Omar Allen his touchdown three plays twenty-five yards for the touchdown after the turnover and once again the kickoff sales over and through the back of the endzone so the southern Jaguars will take over the football Jorge if you do coach Dawson orders what do you tell you quarterback can you come back after the interception that led to a touchdown I think you just say you know one play at a time I mean I think that's exactly what you have to do you can't get caught up again exactly what pocketbook did right they threw an interception they went back got a turnover and then scored so you just got a win each play win each series and that's how you have to take it so we have 12 14 to go here in the second quarter [Applause] the Darius guilted turns and hands inside and the Jaguars get a nice game by Christopher Chaney picking up the first down before Blake Connor could come on and make the stop that's a nice hard run and he's uh it looks like his hands hurt just a little bit there well and christen Frattini had gotten off to a really good start for the Jaguars now changing 47 yards rushing yeah five carries on that plays averaging nine point four a carry but southern has run the football very well here in the first half Skelton is going to throw this town has some time Prince Adeeb has a man out there and is going to be picked up again Shawn Steele number 12 Steele still on his feet coming back the other way weaving his way through traffic before Steele is finally knocked down but Shawn steel gives the Golden Lions two consecutive interceptions and that ball might have been just the underthrew yeah it was Ellis Skelton actually on the tackle here a 5 Bob correct I think what he was to me it was a ball that was put up there the receiver kind of he was trusted his receiver to position his body enough to be able to body up that ball he kept drifting long they thought that ball was going to go longer and therefore the defender was able to get underneath it pass was intended for TJ Bedford and as you can see he was drifting a little bit and it was a little under throw him because Bedford was behind the defender but Shawn Steele I mean that's what he does and he leads the conference coming into this game and passing breakups first time and coach Cedric Thomas is not going to be happy about that call his team just made a huge turnover the second consecutive turnover you have the ball and now you're penalized for excessive celebration yeah that's where you got to keep your keep your cool and again I'm not sure what they did as far as except what was too excessive about that but but I guess the rest were tight to tighten up on this game but I didn't see too much excessive there going on there we go [Applause] so Arkansas Pine Bluff has the ball Schuyler Perry back in and that pass will be incomplete but a really good play by number 10 Jordan easly on the play for the southern Jaguars you know trying to get to Harry Ballard just the timing was just a little bit off in the defense right and again I think I think southern is doing a great job whatever the coaches were teaching them this week you can definitely see they were coached well and they're ready and they're well prepared because they're reading their keys pretty aggressive here so Skyler Perry started the game for the Golden Lions this time he turns in hands inside and it's number 2 Taylor Porter on the carry Calvin lumkins is there for the stop of the Jaguars he just he's a smart player coach talked about him and you mentioned it earlier he's a smart player you could just tell he has a nose for the ball and he just goes at it he is if he's not making the tackle he sure is the first one there to pick the guy making the tackle now this is a big drive for that Southern University defense also you know you try you're trying to come in and bail the offense out don't you right exactly and you want to squash it we don't have pine bluff to get too much confidence Skylar Perry look in the past blitz on the way he's hit as he releases as a man wide open that is a nice catch by Kobe McNeal TV escape number five was trying to cover for the Jaguars I'll tell you what scholar Perry got lit up at the end of that play but he stood in there absolutely strong and tall threw that ball and I'll tell you what it always feels better when you take that huge hit it's a big huge Jay cuz he jump right up excited yeah and I think that was we've checked that I think that was Jeremy Brown number 6 instead of number 5 the big tight in with a nice catch so this time Harry dances away from trouble but he can't get away from everybody and he's finally going to be pulled down by Joe Davis Davis you may remember had that interception earlier yeah Joe Davis 6 for 255 so whenever you you're 64 you get an interception that day that's pretty good he's pretty active too defensively I mean he's from a senior from New Orleans so he's been in the trenches the defensive ends don't get it to keep interceptions a whole lot of offenses second down and long for the Golden Lions and the handoff goes to Porter slips the tackle and then he runs into several white jerseys they're led by blumpkins and company also in on the play Devon cotton a 6-foot - 180 pound freshman from Shreveport yeah the last three plays southern has done a lot of stunts on the defensive linemen and linebackers shooting gaps and that's disrupted the place for pine pine love and again even on the long play they were real close to stop in that play but just a great great pass by in the pocket 855 to go here in the second quarter for the golden alliance Scylla Perry looking to throw and here comes the white jerseys with the pressure and he's going to be taken down in the backfield and it's Joe Davis the senior again causing trouble in that Arkansas plain love back fat he is having a whale of a game right there I mean look at the speed he showed to close down on the quarterback right there as we take a look they did it with a three-man rush too but Davis just blowing through everybody so just like that the golden lines are gonna have to give the ball back to Southern number 48 miles Piney will be on the Punnett and there's pressure on the punter but he gets his kick away it hits around the 30-yard line and it's gonna bounce dead right around the 27 yard line I think southern was lined up offsides there is a flag down on the play so we will see what the call is if it's southern offside I guess they'll take the penalty kick it again yeah but I think they were I think they were lined up he certainly was in the neutral zone Myles pine he is averaging 41 yards that kick for the Golden Lions nobody's asking southern if they won't accept it or not so it must be on Pine Bluff it looks like illegals here number 28 and number for the kicking team that popular to be added to the end of the cake time to keep the ball first now so southern will keep the ball and they will get a little extra yardage for that illegal motion penalty so the Jaguars find themselves with a 14 to 7 lead with 746 to go here's something I big job for summer beer that they have now they got on 746 in the second quarter here and can't they make that defensive just dance stand by getting some points on the cylinder to the Darius guiltin is gone all the way at quarterback for the Jaguars he is in the backfield again Skelton turrents enhance it over to Ben who cuts back in that Arkansas Pine Bluff defense is strong inside Paul Reeves number 35 one of the black jerseys there to make the stop Jaguars wouldn't mind taking a little time off of that clock as it ticks down from 7:22 to go here in the second quarter handoff inside to Ben and he just keeps powering his way forward then picks up another nice gain and a first down for the southern Jaguars Coby Wyatt's what's over there to make the stop but for Arkansas find blood he had a scene to his right he could have taken it instead he just created his own City and just ran over some people to get the first out so that's going to be that one will go against the southern Jaguars and that will put it back five you know both these teams that play despite the penalties and their turnover the turnovers they played with a lot of poise because they have not left those turnovers get them down they've come back and both teams have responded after turnovers yeah they bate they made them made them pay I think that's important it's guilt and again hands inside and it's been again and before there's a whole lot of black jerseys there - yeah that was a don't tread on the defense right there they were not gonna go up that middle they were trying to run right up and go off of the guards tail on the right side and there was no room at all Jakari McKinney and Rashad Clayton in there to make the stop for the Golden Lions so now it's second down and long for southern second in about 14 yards to go for the first down Skelton looking to throw comes back the opposite way and you talk about a fine defensive play by Kobe Watts you know we've we've seen it happened on the southern side a couple of times and now you see it on the Arkansas Pine Bluff side where they read the play what they're going to run on offense and they're right there on the spot back in and you have as a coach you just love those moments because it's exactly what your coach you've looked at the film and now your guys are doing exactly what they're supposed to do respond boy it's going to be a third down in about 15 yards to go looked like it might have been a loss of one on the play we got four five 41 to go here in the first half as the officials try to line them up again must be allowed to match up so no penalty on the play so southern will come up and they will have that third and long to deal with and we'll see what ladarius Skelton can come up with so far you'd have to say his homecoming has been all good for him oh yeah he showed up like I said we set at the top to show this guy's a winner he finds ways to win and he certainly has done it here skelton looking to throw it has some time and he has a man open slips the tackler and he gets downfield that is number 14 TJ Bedford with again and he has the first down for the Jaguars as they continue to move the football 514 to go here in the first half as the clock ticks down his guilt Engedi back at the line of scrimmage hands it off to bins sweeps to the left side and he's going to be taken down but we do have another flag on the play you see that game after bid was near the sideline yeah we've had a pretty clean game up to the last few minutes here a lot of flags but flying Jeremiah Abbey the six for 325 pounder from Atlanta was the guilty party on that one so that will back the Jaguars up yeah that's an alka-seltzer moment for the sidelines southern there well because they were on the move so they haven't you know that's gonna back him up a little bit and bring up a first down in about 20 to go for another first down so Skelton looking to dump off the screen pass he has been then has some room to go nice move there as he cuts inside and that's how you get a big chunk of that penalty yardage back as Isaac now watch Jonathan Bishop here the offensive guard he pulls around look at him stays on his block that is hard for a big man to stay on a guy like that that's what allowed that play to progress for you 100% right about that cuz usually it's a big guy pulling around the corner trying to get a little defensive back and but he showed some great feet on that play so a nice game is gonna bring up second and eight and this time no room to roam inside at all Christopher Chaney but he's met in the backfield Elin steward one of the Golden Lions there for the stop the chains had certain today not right there in the fourth was 47 yards on the day so Skelton looks to the sideline for the play and up to this point chinnis berry the offensive coordinator is called a whale of a game for the Jaguars I mean he's done a good job of moving the ball up and down the field he's guilty looking to pass has some time now he does it throws it and it's going to be incomplete had an open man over the middle he would have been very close to the first down that was hunter register but he could not hang on to the pass Blake Connor cover and look at the look at the pocket the linemen provide for Skelton and again actually Skelton just got nervous he couldn't believe how much time he actually had now it did start collapsing right there at the end what they gave them the nice when you're a quarterback you want that front of you clean that's exactly what they did the lineup for the blunt hair saves our baraja on the punt the 6-1 225 pound junior from Florida in to punt Tyron Ralph number seven goes back to return and the ball goes Ralph lets it bounce and it will travel into the endzone and that will be a touchback for the Golden Lions time for us to pause for a timeout with the southern Jaguars leading the Golden Alliance from Arkansas Pine Club 14-7 with 321 that go we've got your back 24/7 we have three 21 to go here in the first half and Pine Bluff Arkansas southern leading Arkansas Pine Bluff 14-7 but Pine Bluff on the attack Shannon Patrick with a complete pass over to the outside and that is a nice game right there by the Golden Lions on the attack they're gonna be in a hurry but they don't need to be in too much of her you got plenty of time they didn't heed to make sure they're deliberate in execute that was Josh loops in his first game this year in a long time he's at a hamstring issue and he made a nice pickup on the play and the past once again goes out to the sidelines back to Wilkes again and a coach told us expect to see Joshua on the field making some big plays yeah and then they shows trust in them to a key moment of the game you go right to head all season you give the ball real quick so that's going to move to change up feel for a first down for Arkansas Pine gloves so just like that the Golden Lions are on the move with 253 to go and it goes back to the same play again and the ball comes out but it's out of bounds and so that was it would have been a fumble but it was they use the outside trying to see where they marked the ball out there they did give him catch about a four yard gain so I could just doing a nice run there a nice quick run not much time goes up Patrick a quarterback bobbled the snap a little bit got it over near the sidelines again this time they Henry Ballard and I think the go balloons have found something over there that they want to work with munchkins and East Lane over there to make the stop for the Jaguars roof doesn't have but one time up correct here they used to earlier in the game [Music] that is correct so coach Cedric Thomas trying to use the clock wisely as he works at down field using that sideline to his advantage that's big third down and four here this time Patrick turns hands inside and a good run forward should have picked up the first down for the Golden Lions he's very close Deb all the stop for the Jaguars but they will move the chains and nice move by coach Cedric Thomas and his staff frosting up the Jaguars and I think that was a big first down too and I think you'll see Pine Bluff to get more aggressive now they've got that first down clock continues to roll 155 to go here in the first half Patrick with a fake to the outside throws down the sidelines and it's incomplete he was trying to get it over to Josh whoops again number three Casey on the plane number 16 for southern route now tell me they weren't excited to get him back in the lineup keep on one of the game the end of the half and you find them what four or five times you're easier target Wilkes is 6-3 184 pounds junior has been bothered by hamstring injuries but he looks pretty good so far tonight they're testing him out he looks really good three catches 17 yards second down and 10 for the Golden Lions Shannon Patrick looking to throw on the slant route and it's going to be dropped by Ballard he had a lot of room to roll right there and that might be just the loss of concentration inside because I put it on him yeah that's one of those things receivers coach is uh not very happy with that you got to bring your hands to the ball he did the worst and let it get to his pads and it just kind of bounced off there you know he's one of their best receivers to last week seven catches for 112 yards and even had a rushing touchdown in that ball game so he doesn't drop me listen up yeah he's leave it up drop the ball it's a rare occasion it's like one of these Eclipse things because he if he doesn't drop the ball at all and he dropped that one so that will bring up third down for the Golden Lions Patrick under pressure ducks inside has a man open and it's a completed pass to Aaron round nice edge by Ralph inside and a big first down right there for the Golden Lions he did a great job stepping up into the pocket his line gave him some room forward so he threw that ball going forward not off his back foot he was very accurate with that that's a very good call because Ralph is not that big down there he's 5-8 161 kind of a tough guy to find in the secondary but he had that clear line of vision right there where he could pick him out and again most people won't give a lot of credit to the offensive line there but but when you create that packed pocket and you're able to clear defenders around you so your quarterbacks got a clear shot of the receivers that makes a huge difference and he's able to step forward follow through with the pass so the clock is ticking down we're down to 128 125 as the Golden Lions try to get set on offense waiting for the play to come from the sidelines longtime coordinators remain Gayle's Shannon Patrick in at quarterback puts a man in motion dumps it off to Porter again he juggled it for a second and he doesn't go out of bounds he had an opportunity to stop the clock but he did not go out of bounds the KB on champion made this down but that's going to allow the clock to continue to take 48 seconds and counting yeah he'll be he'll be will be happy with that move later because you only have one timeout you got it you got to save it you can't waste it well there's taking a long time to get to play in from the sidelines and I'm sure this is not what coach Thomas wanted to see the clock continues to tick 30 seconds to go here in the first half Patrick's going to throw looking deep and it's going to be knocked down did he make the catch yes he did it's intercepted but we're telling Jordan Easley and coach Thomason is Stephen some problems with the clock there and that may have contributed to the whole situation but another interception by Patrick his second interception of the first half that ones in the end zone so that's going to be a huge turnover right there now you can feel the tension before that ball was snapped they knew they needed to move the ball quick and I think they once they just call the play and they just just didn't take their time through the play through it short got intercepted and then they had such a good Drive going there now we have 20 seconds to go here in the first half and do you expect southern just to take a knee and take this one to the house to share your deep twenty seconds left you just take a knee well of course you're not under center so you're gonna add welcoming forward Skilton hands it off to Ben and he finds a hole and crawls into it and the clock is gonna tick down we have ten seconds to go here in the first half and the Jaguars have the lead so they are in no hurry to get another playoff to one and that will do it for the first day and what an exciting first half it was we saw just about everything as the southern Jaguars finds themselves out in front leading by a touchdown but we know Arkansas Pine Bluff is explosive what how about that turnover a lot of exciting plays at the first half we will pause for a timeout now in return second half action [Applause] [Music] and welcome to a beautiful night in Pine Bluff Arkansas beautiful country here you know I I really enjoyed the drive to the stadium today butch Elsinore Jorge Vargas and we're watching the southern Jaguars who made the trip up from Baton Rouge Louisiana to take on Arkansas Pine Bluff Pine Bluff a team that have come into this ball game winners of three consecutive games and the first half was not disappointing at all when you look at it one of the things coach Dawson Odom's told us when we talked to him earlier this week the southern head coach he said we must get off to a fast start and they did yeah whatever the medicine or the remedy he said we were he told us he was trying different things each week to figure out how they could get out of the gate quicker and they certainly did but I want to say some of both teams I think both teams have done a really good job of execution and it shows really well to the coaching staffs of both schools that they have done a lot of preparation because you can tell several parts of the game offensively and defensively that they're good reads being made whether it's a running back making a great cut or a quarterback making a great throw and certainly defensively you've seen them snuff out of play and say that's a screen I'm God so you're not coming here so I think coaching wise you've really seen some great preparation on both sides of the ball and both teams had their opportunities in the first half we want to mention just a little bit talk about ladarius Skelton because this is a homecoming for the southern quarterback he went to high school in Pine Bluff you know he won a lot of ballgames in Pine Bluff and he would love to come home and win tonight right now his team is leading 14 to 7 at the half oh yeah he's not used to you look at the Pine Bluff and if that doesn't get your blood flowing I don't know what does I think we're gonna check some of the sound let's go to break right yes sir 14 the seven southern leading we'll be back with more in just a minute the a a wild card game Wednesday at 8:00 on ESPN [Music] we are at the half here in Pine Bluff Arkansas where the southern Jaguars are leading the Arkansas Pine Bluff Golden Lions 14 to 7 after a very exciting first half so let's go and take a look at some of the action from the first half if we can Butch Alcindor along with Jorge Vargas and we showed a little bit of everything here in the first half including ladarius Skelton who was coming back home and ran that 4 yard touchdown great job again we talked about it earlier relying on your offensive line patient it's a little cut back there then look at this one and that was Jerrod Sims banging in for another touchdown for the Jaguars 14 nothing at that point and then the defense turned things around the Pine Bluff Shawn Steele with the interception but Shannon Patrick gives it right back on the other end his pass into the end zone is picked in and this is a great play that's living right that's living right the ball comes right back in it as a defender you're playing well the ball comes right back and you don't let it touch the ground Dwayne Connor with the interception and then it's the freshman Omar Allen taking in for a touchdown for Pine Bluff and that takes us to where we are 14-7 Shen and Patrick knocking on the door had another chance for points and it's another interception in the first half if you look at it Arkansas Pine Bluff had three interceptions in the first half and that hurt their ability to get points yeah it drives coaches absolutely nuts when you get turnovers and we have five in the game all of them are interceptions three for southern and Arkansas Pine Bluff of actually the other way around to look at the rushing attack southern has done a great job rushing the football passing yards go to Arkansas Pine Bluff fell yeah a lot of offense you know what we didn't see is as many smudged scores as we thought we'd see right we thought we'd become the evolution of like 770 points I mean we got a tight game here and again and that's because we talked about earlier both sides of the ball on both teams are executing in different levels right and that's the interceptions giving the ball back to their offense so that's it's been a nice game it's been a nice game with the southern Jaguars leading 14 the seven at the break as the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff van marches on we will pause for a timeout and come back with second half action southern leading 14 to 7 [Music] as the reaper Australia's own Robert Whittaker isn't just coming home he's coming to defend the middleweight title by it on ESPN Plus calm / PPV [Music] for the coach yourself this on airs from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the 14th lab normally the social come be a part of our live audience and enjoy a great food and beverage specials if you can't join us it's person this is live in Pine Bluff one 99.3 the beat or the line at UAB beer is worth our own the TV version of the show here is Wednesday and we're just about ready to get the second half underway between the southern Jaguars and the Arkansas Pine Bluff Golden Lions we're sitting with southern with the 14-7 lead and in Horry as you look at some of the scoring drives in the first half first drive something goes 12 plays in 83 yards in four minutes 20 seconds then after the turnover it was a gift six plays 34 yards in 215 and then the Omar Allen touchdown the 13 yarder for the freshmen that came on a what was really a nice drive for Arkansas Pine Bluff three plays 25 yards also after eternal yeah I think the big key for really both teams quite frankly is take care of the ball quarterbacks right you've had five interceptions right Pine Bluff at three southern throne - you've got to take care of the ball the penalties that they've had both teams got a little sloppy somewhere in that second quarter but it didn't really hurt the teams of teams intended to overcome those but these interceptions can obviously really cost you and for Pine Bluff it was twice you know in the in deep in southern territory you throw an interception like that and the ball was short you got to be more careful with the ball and as receivers you got to challenge your receivers through the receivers coach saying look that ball is short you got to come back and get it knock it down you've got to play defendant tell me a little bit about ladarius Kelton in his homecoming 10 to 16 for a hundred yards his top receiver was TJ Bedford who had six catches for 62 yards I think boys I mean you know she talked we talked so much about him being a winner he just has poise he looks confident in there whether it's and what I like is he's always looking down the field despite him being an incredible athlete that can run the ball right he's a great thrower that can run the ball not I'm a runner that happens to throw a ball and I think it's a big difference in the way he handles himself you can tell the team has a lot of confidence in them you know certainly a very talented quarterback are you surprised at the success southern had running the ball when you look at the stats and you see Ben davon VIN number two he had 13 carries for 56 yards and then Chaney comes off the bench six carries for 47 yards yeah it's impressive and again a lot of that credit goes to that offensive line I mean though the backs are obviously getting it done but you've got an offensive line that's really creating some seams and when it's not there those backs go ahead and make it they truck it right you know no there's no hole boom I just go into get my one yard and be done with it but the offensive line for southern I think had been really impressive quite frankly in the run game and then also in the passing game because in the passing game they've done a nice job of creating a good pocket for the quarterback and we're gonna take a look at ladarius Skelton because as I said he had a lot of success here in Pine Bluff so he was excited to come back home but you see how calm he looks right there and you see right there he shows you strong ball it got tipped and still went right to his receiver right I mean he just got a strong arm and he knows his receivers can do something with it he looks confident stands ball right he's not shying away backing out he didn't throw off his heels a lot even when he's got some pressure on the front but again his offensive line is in a nice job of not allowing anyone in his face I'm surprised that we didn't see more of Jamar Washington in the first half for southern the 5-7 165 receivers a pound receiver last week in that loss to FAMU he had five receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown and he was a big threat and I think maybe we didn't see him you know see what you think about this because they had so much success running the football they really didn't have an opportunity to to spread it around past maybe they're trying to just dull - take him not not be aware till the second half but they've been spreading the ball around real nice and again I think Pine Bluff is done a nice job as well I mean I think you know they're off it besides the turnovers they've moved the ball they've had some success so we'll see what both teams bring to the table but again turnovers are gonna hold they're gonna it's gonna win the game or lose the game for you here and of course it's just a seven point game we we already talked about it on the top but with four seconds to go last week in that game against Tennessee State Shannon Patrick took his team on a drive and tossed the touchdown pass a 17 yard TD pass for the game-winning score and they came back and won it on the last play of the game so you can never count that team out and they will get the football first to start the second half okay they'll be no quit by either team in this game and again it's a great competitive game what a way to start off the SWAC for southern and Pine Bluff they get this win either team this is a huge win I think most people don't you know may not realize I mean these conference games they matter a lot in this and you take care of your business say Sabah raha and we are underway in the second half and once again these kickers are doing an outstanding job on the kickoffs putting that ball in the end zone with setting up a touch back we we have not seen much going on on the kickoff return yeah I don't want to take a chance in college put it back there we'll start at the 25 so Arkansas Pine Bluff will start first and ten from their 25-yard line and it looks like Skylar Perry back in the ball game he started for the Golden Lions so they start first and ten from the 25 yard line Perry hands it inside it's Porter and Porter picks up about three yards and he is knocked down right there by Lunken and Harris Benjamin Harris number 18 assisting on the Tech so right away Arkansas Pine Bluff goes to the run and it was Porter picking up pretty close to four yards on that carry coach Cedric Thomas I mentioned at the top he's under in his second year two and nine last year but for those games were losses by a touchdown or less so this team was very capable last year and they're off to a great start this year handoff goes to Porter again breaks a tackle and he's up ended by calop Carter he brought some wood on that 6-1 220 creditor big hit that's running into a wall right there caleb was just flying around there BAM it takes the wind out of you just watch it nicely that's going to bring up third down for the Golden Lions third and short about two yards to go for the first down skyla Perry turns hands to Porter he tries to move it forward but lankans and stare and I don't know if he got there Jorge I don't think he did and again those LOM calvin lankans the six-foot 235 pounds senior leading the charge also there's CJ Bryant helping out in that apparently will force the Golden Lions into a punt on to kick it away miles Peavy to kick it away you know he leads to SWAC and getting the punt down inside the 20 is going to be tough to see if he can do it here Branden Hinton back to return the punt and it's have up the side of his foot down near the sideline it does take an Arkansas Pine Bluff roll before it's going to be touched down at about the 27 yard he's averaging 41 a kick so that wasn't necessarily his best effort on that well he did a nice job of scooping that ball up that snap was extremely low actually hit off the turf a little bit he picked it up and kind of got that little rugby style punt style of his going there and what what souther did a great job was is a get away from the ball was it good to be returned get away from it run away so the jaguars with their first possession of the second half Skelton on the option and he bounces that he was trying to pitch it off right there it looks like it was register over there Blake Connor provided the defense it was actually Washington Jamar Washington the young man we talked about who did not get involved in the first half and they tried to get him busy early in the second half [Applause] second down coming up for the Jaguars Skelton with a low half roll to his right tosses that Houston to sidelines he has a man that's BJ Bedford and Bedford is going to be taken down by Shawn Steele caught him and hanging on there for dear life good short sit great tackling there you just don't let up he got some help from his other teammates pretty much also assisting so now just like that the Jaguars have their third down third down for the southern Jaguars Skelton has gone all the way at quarterback looking to throw has a lot of time now he doesn't Rose out dumps it up underneath to Ben and he's going to pick up the first down for southern so just a lot of patience on the play by Skelton what he was looking for it wasn't there but he came back underneath yeah and he just very common but he just rolls right he was going left if there was a lot of designed to the left and then he just comes right back to the right and takes his time throws an accurate pass gets the first down and bencher showing some skills right I mean he's shown some tough running inside did a nice job with the catch there yeah that was his second reception of the night he also has 13 carries and 56 yards rushing he's been the main go-to guy in the backfield Chaney he also has been in there Janey's rushed the ball six times for 47 yards Skelton though says the second leading rusher on the team so we haven't seen him take off much tonight Skelton turns and hands it off to Ben who just muscles his way forward I mean this guy can take a licking and keep on ticking right there Xavier Mitchell one of the Golden Lions along with Paul Reeves there to get the big fella down Ben is only five nine but he weighs pretty close to 200 pounds from John Curtis out of New Orleans that's a state championship powerhouse there John Curtis has had many many winning seasons they can play some football there for sure the southern just taking their time here to make sure they have the right play and over 16 big lion Parker what's up Josh and man Mike watch it right there the top of your screen he reaches out he just got a little piece of that football great job a great awareness for southern fall how do you like the Golden Lions dialing up the Blitz on a key third down and I guess what we need to do if you're predictable you get the trouble AHA to punt it away and that one may have been blocked I think it was tipped also it's gonna be a very short punt so the Golden Lions will take over with excellent field position but that's two plays in a row that Arkansas Pine Bluff came with the pressure and it appeared to pay off and now the officials are going to talk about something let's take another look for a yeah I got hit for sure that's hard to tell who that was but it certainly got hit and you could see the rotation change on the ball yep [Applause] so early here in the third quarter with 933 to go you see the Arkansas Pine Bluff defense stepping up with two big defensive plays the penalty against by Lovett look like must have been against southern because they just rolled off five yards down to the 25 it's at the 30 yard line I'm not quite sure what the penalty was but it was against southern upon bluffs taking the ball yeah the Golden Lions will start and excellent field position ball is at the 30 Skyler Perry still the quarterback 6-3 to 15 from New Orleans also passing out near the sidelines he completes it nice catch on the play he's thrown in a tight window for sure that stood on Diwan Miller the 6-2 183 pounds South will excuse me and now we have whistles again on the field we have an injured player one of the Jaguars is down and you know we didn't talk much about it it's out but it is a hot and steamy night here in Pine Bluff Arkansas there was Jalen ivy number 96 who appears to be suffering from preach it appears to be cramping up that's exactly love's like that cowboy orchid you know what we said it's just hot and no wind blowing at all when we started the game it was about 95 96 right now it's dropped down to about 81 but it's still pretty humid out on that appeal so we we may see more of this coming up here in the second half of guys cramping up and having to leave the field but that's the first one we've seen so that shows the conditioning of both teams as well though so I think that that's certainly the first time we've seen it so far this game so it shows how well conditioned these guys are it's going to be going to be a second and two for the Golden Lions now Skyler Perry at quarterback nice fake he has a lot of time going to crank it deep and he overshoots his man so bulk so far tonight both quarterbacks for the Golden Lions have been just a little bit off yeah and again I think that the tough part is as a quarterback you're gonna go back and look at the tape and say I had this guy open I could have you know a lot of times you want to throw a guy open these guys are open you just need to get it up there let them make it a little bit of adjustment it wasn't it just wasn't good enough just didn't get enough air under that one so skyler perry turns and he hands it off to porter and it's not much room inside Nutkins again up there quickly a senior from new orleans Calvin lankans making another stop so he got just enough for the first down wasn't a lot of room inside but enough room for Porter to pick up the first down so then Arkansas playing Pine Bluff go the Lions will start first in ten with the ball resting right on the 40-yard line yeah Porter 14 carries 49 yards [Music] skyla Perry has gone all the way so far in the second half again he has plenty of time throws it low and the catch is made by number 5 Coleman McNeil nice catch right there Jacoby Jones making the stop for the southern Jaguars [Applause] the Texans had a wide receiver named Jacoby Jones also a while back the Houston Texans did we remember him well yeah and then once again Pine Bluff the Golden Lions trying to run it up the middle and there is nothing they as Deb cotton and Jordan Lewis just would not give up anything it sucks yeah I was I'm open to squash 50 caliber now we're looking at a third down and by for the Golden Lions and then they've done a little bit of everything here in the second half they've had a good mix of run and pass so they could pretty much dial up anything they want on this one [Applause] Perry calling out the signals puts his man in motion looks for the quick pass throws it back to the motion man and he's going to be knocked down short of the first and number six Jeremy brown the big tight end just really could not get going Monta vyas Gaines makes the play for the southern Jaguars and you'll remember when I'll call it with Coach Odom's he talked about Monta vyas Gaines he said he wanted to see him have a big game this week well he obviously did his homework because again we've talked about this several times players on both sides of the field knowing exactly what's coming and being there and then making the play and so that just again reiterate that the coaches are doing a great job getting these guys ready and the punt is away and it's going to be short there was heavy pressure coming Brandon Hinton was deep but once again first it was the Golden Lions now is the Jaguars putting pressure on the cutter and that that punt didn't look good coming off his foot you know sometimes though when you dial up that pressure and you just sometimes you just have to get in their face to kind of disrupt things in the backfield and that may have happened we have six 28 to go in the third quarter and so far not a lot of offense going on both teams stepping up on the defensive end now it's impressive because we know both sides have some amazing offensive weapons and it just tells you how great these defenses are playing the Darius Skelton back for the Jaguars takes his time has a man wide open that's Bedford and he's dragged down from behind but a good play Sean Steele on the tackle you know that steal had an interception in the first half playing some solid defense yeah and I was going to say that just before that play is that both sides of the defense and stealing particulars made some great open field tackle he's been very consistent and that's why these offense haven't lit up normally they rely on some missed tackles and they blow up Skelton fakes it inside throws it near the sidelines that is complete right there to Mackay who slips the tackler and dives forward for some extra yardage on the play Rico Meriwether coming in to finish him off but a nice play by cam Mackay as help me goes off so he's got to take to the sideline and as we see the Jaguar is coming back up there and they they're starting to pick up that tempo again here in the third quarter they were going on a slower tempo when the quarter got underway but you can see Skelton getting his team back to the line of scrimmage this time he fires again near the sidelines has a man pass is complete to him it's rolled off now they were leading and now they're going to wipe it away you're right on that one Jorge was Isaac Peppers over there defending for the Golden Lions that brings up second down and see attack so at 528 to go the Jaguars will come out with the second and tenth after the incompleted pass it'll be interesting if you see an out and up come real quick because he's there been a lot of short passes on the side there tries to run the screen and it goes nowhere the pass to Jamar Washington but the Golden Lions were all over that way you talk about some film study at work he had no place to go Kobe Watts understand getting hit as you're catching the ball that that's just tough finding out where number six is and keeping him from being making a big play at this Bobby when you look at it last week Joe was one of their infant players it's show for tonight what's going on so Skelton again fiers has a man wide open and a nice completed first down number 24 Rondo what's up man and we comin right back nice fake by Skelton he goes the other way now he pulls it down he has nothing for daylight in front of him and he races home for his second area Skelton says welcome home Pine Bluff as he takes it in for his second touchdown impressive again you know he was really look in the past he wasn't looking to run he did two different tries look for three different receivers and then when he made his move was like three different moves that freed him up and then it was open sailing and once you saw that that Lane it was over well it all started with the fake yeah you know he faked our camera guy out there he faked that spin for everybody then he kept rolling around to the right as the extra point comes on and it is good and just like that the southern Jaguars adding to their lead we're in the third quarter at southern leads at 21 to 7 over Arkansas Mike we've got your back 24/7 and the southern Jaguars now lead the Arkansas Pine Bluff Golden Lions 21 7 we have 348 in the third to go the southern Jaguars just finished off a 7 play 55 yard drive took them 2 minutes and 40 seconds before ladarius Skelton ran 19 yards for the touchdown and second half kickoff is underway and the Arkansas Pine Bluff Golden Lions after that touch back will start first and 10th from their 25 yard line what about that drive Jorge I mean that was a pretty impressive Drive right there about a jack oh yeah I mean just like I said execution has been great and they were patient alright no time but they look rushed and again I mean you got a quarterback skeleton that just took what the defense gave him and then at the end again he was trying to throw the ball wanted running in it you know southern returns 16 starters this year from that team that were the champions in the West nine of those starters were on offense so they have an awful lot of experience on offense and you could tell they're comfortable with each other and I think that's what we've said a couple of times they look patient right and I think because you're familiar with your surroundings there you are patient because you know you can rely on your teammates so Shannon Patrick checks in at quarterback he has two picks in this game in he hands to Tyron Ralph and Ralph around the right side and he picks up a nice gain for the Golden Lions that will be a first down so he moves the stick right off the bat Monty biggest gains number 5 over there to make the stop for the Jaguars you can see the speed the attire and Ralph showing that speed to make the edge and that's a little wrinkled we didn't see that much in the first half from the golden lions and that's something that it was a good play to pick up a first down and a drive that they would love to put some points on the board and we have movement up front and it looked like the Jaguars jumped but were they drawn offsides that's the big play davon cotton was that guy that moved first that it gets on southern and on that reverse let's just talk a little bit about that I think what they're doing is because southern has been doing such a great job pursuing to the ball they want to slow them down a little bit so you run a counter play or reverse play where you make southern have to just take that extra second moment to to make sure the ball is going to serve he was just knocking on the door low do what is anyone here yeah it didn't look like Patrick had a hard count either I'm not sure what was going on I had a coach it always used to say if you're gonna do it do it full speed so he did he was coming hey you know if you gotta come come yep and there it goes the fires a strike from Patrick but a big hit by the jaguars southern defense making a nice play on that was trying to hit Ballard and battered he's been pretty quiet tonight we haven't heard a lot from him Smith on the big hit we get hit when you're not high in the air it's gonna hurt coming down but again defensive backs keeping the receiver in front of them making the short tackle both sides of the ball and done that well Pine Bluff has done it the southern has done as well Patrick hands it off the Porter has some room on the outside and Porter a couple of nice moves there before he's finally dragged down near the sideline number 50 Cal McGregor with some help from Benjamin Harris nice first down but the Golden Alliance moved the sticks go Cedric Thomas watching his team's navigate down the field back-to-back first dams on this Drive ball now resting near midfield around the 48 Patrick with a lot of time to throw dumps it off underneath and it's incomplete you know he was looking down feel the whole time trying to go back to Ballard and that's it probably good move by the golden lines because they want to go to one of their main guys Ballard almost made it over an incredible catch there and and again that throw was only where he could catch it so I like to giving your big playmaker to make that play you know I like it on first down as well Ballard the newcomer of the week and the SWAC this week it was the second time this year he's had that honor I mentioned last week seven catches for a hundred and twelve yards he even had a rushing touchdown so this guy has some skills Patrick with a guy wide open that's tired right there with a nice catch number seven Tyron Ralph hauling in the catch and moving the ball upfield put the Golden Lions should be a big third down and one here yeah it's good to set up a third and shortly he got close I think he's a yard and a half shy and they go right to the line of scrimmage but we have a whistle on the play and there's a timeout on the field so why this sort things out of the field we will pause here with the Jaguars leading 21 to 7 we're ready to resume axiom 1 and thank you for watching tonight you can see the southern Jaguars leading Arkansas Pine Bluff 21 to 7 but Pine Bluff is on the move they have the football and they have a nice little drive going Shannon Patrick dumps it over the middle and it was almost intercepted he and his receiver the big tight end Jeremy Brennan were not on the same page Brown never looked for the football watch Calvin lovekins he comes barreling through totally messed that entire playing rhythm up behind bluff because Brown didn't look back but you're right the pressure just destroyed the whole play if that back wasn't about to stop noon so a fourth down coming up now for the Golden Lions this may be the play of the second half Patrick gives it off and it's going to be going to be very close it's going to quite a thing it was a porter and he has the first down for the Golden Lions McGregor made the stop but not before Porter boy that's a huge play on portage though it is it is especially after getting that scare on third down right they just lined right up there was no hesitation on the Pine Bluff sidelines were going for it and they went there and executed well I like about Porter is he's leading the team and receiving and in rushing well he could do it all and you know he's not your bigger got the biggest back you know he's pretty small 510 to 200 pounds but boy he has a lot of heart and look at Shannon Patrick has a man open over the middle and it's another first down for the Golden Lions from Arkansas so one Miller the freshman of the year last year making a big catch luck kids again on the step and he put that ball right where it needed to be - we talked about him being a little off that was perfect was a fine line you have to drop that ball in there and that was a good pass from Patrick throw showed a lot of confidence on that one this time he throws it on a crowd and has his man again and once again it's number 13 though Ron Miller making the catch Jordan easily made the step but not in time to stop the completed pass by Arkansas Pine Bluff you want to say throw on the dime that's what that is well that was an incredible pass the margin of error was very small on that play but Shannon Patrick drilled it in there and it's another first down for the Golden Lions first and goal to go Patrick looking to throw it again passed some time trusts the loft went to the corner there no good on the play was trying to hit Kobi McNeil he just threw that one away and see I'm okay with that if he didn't see what you were looking for it go ahead and just get rid of the ball launch and get it out of there when you get too cute with the ball that's when you get in trouble well and the two interceptions earlier in the game from Patrick came with his team in scoring position so obviously he did you know he doesn't want to do that again it's a great move on the play this the guys not there throw it away that's what he did second down coming up for the Golden Lions Shannon Patrick is the quarterback he has Taylor Porter to his right Patrick turns gives the corner and he's going to be knocked down at the war yard line Porter just powered his way for a few yards up the middle now McGregor r50 is there for the stop so we will head to break now that's the end of the quarter with southern leading 21 to 7 in Pine Bluff [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it is a 21-7 southern lead here in the fourth quarter as Arkansas Pine Bluff we're in Pine Bluff Arkansas but the golden lions are on the move the ball is on the 4 yard line they are knocking on the door with a chance to make this a game it and want to tell the folks at home keep in mind they came from behind last week went on a long drive to win the ballgame so though no quiz see no quit in the Golden Lions and and now we got a third and 4 so you know it's two downs right you got two downs ago you got a guy named Tyler Porter has been absolutely fantastic tuna for you he's got 112 yards of total right rushing and passing so it means you can give him the ball either way look for them to try to either set him up or fake and make someone bite right and they've already gone for it one time on fourth down on this Drive so yuck you said we're in four down territory here oh yeah no question about it and I mean again this drive has been probably their most significant it's been very solid they've been moving the ball around and they're been aggressively passing the ball a lot more wind is attacking offense well they've been down here before and unfortunately for the Golden Lions they've had two passes intercepted so that's something that they don't want to think about right now as they come out of the huddle Shannon Patrick still the quarterback on this Drive and they're knocking at the door [Applause] it's going to be a third down for the Golden Alliance but as we said football resting on the four man in motion that's brown the tight end the handoff goes the corner and the Jaguars are right there or what a play by that southern defensive but we do have a flag on the field that'll stop everything yeah let's see what the officials are doing now they they're the down marker says fourth down so maybe there's not a flag because they're right back at the line of scrimmage so here's a big play fourth down goal to go for Shannon Patrick and the Golden Lions Patrick looking to throw on the sled pass and it goes off of the hands of his intended receiver Ballard inside on the slant and he could not bring it in pass a little high but a fine defensive play there you see Patrick gunning it it would have been a tough play but that Smith Smith has done a great job here in the second half of the southern Jack yeah sure is that was good defensive play but it was a good pass and it would have been a hard catch I mean it was a I like the play call and I have to say this to Porter did a great job we talked about him as a runner and a receiver or right there he did a great job blocking which allowed them to actually get that play off when you look at that on the replay though it's hard to say whether he would have even scored on that play had he made the catch it'd have been close so southern takes over at the 4 yard line and a big run by Christopher Chaney to start the second half so right away ladarius Kelton turns hands into Chaney and Chaney comes up with a nice run for the southern Jaguars as a big play for southern and again that offensive line created that room and Chaney just did a great job once he saw daylight he just ran to it [Applause] Jaguars on the attack again the handoff goes to Cheney again and looked almost like the same plane he goes down the sideline and a huge game for Cheney yeah they're running right off of that left tackles tail just cutting it right outside running inside out so right off the left tackle take correct to the sidelines just great blocking inside yeah yeah Cheney had a back-to-back rushes the first rush was for 16 yards came right back with a 22 yard run so the the Jaguars again flexing their muscles on the ground getting it done on the ground and you know what if it's it's not broken don't fix it before that run he had 85 yards he's gonna be pushing 100 yards here real soon Isaac tempers on the stop but Janie's getting his workout here in the second half and he's being very productive for the Jaguars nine carries 95 yards he's averaging 10 yards a carry and coach Dawson Odom's going to give him a blow as Ben davon bin checks back into the backfield Skelton turns hands to Ben and he dives forward for a nice gain so once again the surge from that offensive line they're moving the ball they're getting five six yards in the clip here yeah and Bishop sticks out again I mean I think he uh let's watch 65 here he he turns it that's 62 excuse me turns it right back up in there nice job as Dallas black well that offensive line for southern came to play tonight you know it sticks into my mind when we were talking to coach Odom's how he said we have to get off to a quick start he emphasized that several times and his team did tonight and another running play forward it's been again surging for another first down for the Jaguars well they like what they see off of left tackle Rico Meriwether on the stop and now the Jaguars aren't going to be in any hurry at all they have a 21-7 lead with 11 44 to go and the clock is ticking down so far this Drive has been all on the ground Skelton turns and hands it to Ben again and this time he runs into a blank wall there he is stacked up Paul Reeves one of the Golden Lions along with Joshua Wallace he didn't get much on that at all they were running right behind Carter the left tackle a redshirt sophomore 6 5 300 pounds where do you want to run I think I'll front behind him well that whole offensive line you could just go down the list Carter Jo Jeremiah Abbey Brinson Bishop Harris I mean they've had an outstanding game for the Jaguars you come out and you get that kind of push up front I mean maybe Ben and Christopher change to take those guys out for pizza this week I don't know if we can afford that now check that you know you have to change the athletic budget yeah maybe not yeah that's a budget changer yeah Kobe Watts helping out on the stop for the Golden Lions I'm not sure what this Flags about it [Applause] personal foul face mask number 12 defense that's a 15-yard that's Shawn Steele I'm not sure what happened there but I did see Jeremiah used to go flying and rolling and and so I don't know if he crapped it by the facemask and threw him down but you know you kind of look guilty when it happened so well that's a big 15 yards to tack on to what has already been an outstanding Drive mostly on the ground all on the ground it's guilt it again turns and hands it to Christopher Chaney again so both those guys are getting their work out in the backfield yep been 20 carries 80 yards and Chaney now 10 carry is probably just under a hundred yards about 98 you're actually 102 102 but the most impressive thing about Chaney is he's averaging like 10.2 a shot because that's a pretty good clip so the Jaguars again on offense with a second down coming up we have 946 to go in the ballgame and the clock ticks down [Music] Skilton hands inside again the cheney and he just muscles his way forward Blake Connor comes up for the stop with some help from Christian Brown number 27 I think this is the part where you hear the Southern offensive line coach you kind of have your sitting a little taller on that offensive on that side lines with a swell and say look at my line make some holes well you know this is the type of game where you want to put it in your offensive lines hands and let your running backs go to work you know they if you're an offensive lineman you live for this type of situation [Applause] Skelton hands inside and it's another big hole for Cheney he's tackled somewhere near the five-yard land yeah on that play you can see the entire offensive line takes a step with their left and they just connect whoever's in their way and drive on the left the running back starts left and kicks back and cuts back just just briefly right off the tail of that right tackle Cheney's up to 107 yards but his average is dropped it's now 8.9 but I think you'll take so this has been an acute keep in mind this drive started on the 4 yard line when Arkansas Pine Bluff went for a fourth and goal this time the Darius Kelton keeps in he hops him for his third touchdown of the ball game on the ground but Darius Skelton the Pine Bluff made if making his homecoming tonight a very strategic moment when he decides to run I think that's what's probably been a very impressive for me is watching when southern decides to run a play where he's going to run or not and obviously right there he was given that option Hey look you see you see green go for it and so it keeps that defense you got two running backs that are running really well then he keeps the ball martel Fontenot adds the extra boy 28 to 7 take a look at mr. Skelton he is familiar with Pine Bluff and he likes scoring touchdowns in his hometown southern over 28 jacket has to earn the right to be on your back just don't forget the tag rookie Carhartt we've got your back 24/7 [Music] [Applause] and we have 8 minutes and 17 seconds to go here in Pine Bluff Arkansas and the southern Jaguars have just taken two 28 to 7 lead as they kick it off and is going to be a short kick and the Golden Lions will have a chance to return it and it's going to be right where he would have gotten had he touched it down in the end zone out of bounds on the 25-yard line is Henry Murphy with a nice return for the golden lights it's the first return of the night right everything else has been in the end zones pretty much those kickers have done a great job of making sure that they have not been any returns in this game nothing close really and Murphy just said you know what we've every one of them have been down that was a short kick I'm going to take my chances in 20878 10 in the game in the fourth quarter I think we'll Pine Bluff needs to do is just just execute go out there attack I think you can't just stare up the scoreboard attack get your score then you start worrying about things but you got a move Golden Lions starting first and 10 from their 26 yard line Shannon Patrick back in has the quarterback again has some time to throw fires underneath that's Wilkes and he's going to going to be pushed out of bounds Josh Wilkes and he's pleased oh well on that play they've run that play several times since and right now if you're southern you give them that all day long right you don't have a problem with that you just stay back because what you don't want to happen is you suck in on that play and they run a double move and then you get burned Patrick looking to throw it again comes low has Ballard and Ballard's board to go out of bounds number 10 eastling got him out of bounds quickly but that will move the sticks and it'll be a first down for the Golden Lions clock continues to move 733 to go Patrick with good protection fires over the middle and it's incomplete try to squeeze it into Ballard again but there were three white shirts right there that was a tough one yeah I think he wanted too much there he had his running back wide open and just needed to dump it down them get your six or eight yards and then just line up again and go well we saw they did a really good job earlier in the third quarter of getting that ball near the sidelines and stepping out excuse me leer at the end of the first half when they were trying to preserve time blitz is on he dumps it underneath and his Tyron Ralph tywin Tyron Ralph with a nice gain number seven what tired just looked scary way he he looks explosive well that's a good job of just dumping that ball underneath he read the Blitz coming did a good job of going to his outlet receiver before the pressure could get there Ralph 5/8 161 pounds he's a junior from New Orleans making that catch and picking up another first down for the Golden Lions Patrick operating with seven minutes to go dumps it underneath again he has Wilkes this time Josh Wilkes number three makes the catch for a short game on the defense Caleb Carter making the stop right there for the Golden Lions so they do it a nice job of keeping everybody in front of you and just making sure you make sure tackles both teams have done a nice job of sure tackling four right now if you're southern that's exactly what you want to do keep me in front of you don't let anybody get behind me yeah the clock is the Jaguars friend right now I mean they want that clock to continue the roll as Patrick fires one on the slant pass it is completed he has his man that's the Juan Miller again and Miller is going to take a little break has a pretty hard hit each other that's been the past that the Golden Lions have had the most success with tonight Kyle McGregor number 50 helping out on the tackle for the group for the Jaguars as the Golden Lions have moved the football all the way down to the 30 yard line with 556 to go Patrick again looking to throw under throws it again and it's picked off this time by number 7 Jacoby papillon and he has some room to go before he's finally tripped up but once again in Patrick spasm was a little behind the receiver it's intercepted and a nice return by the southern Jaguars with 544 to go yeah and again it's kind of been the same thing a little bit under under thrown ball and again the receiver that time he had no chance to come back and help Ballard couldn't have stopped that one well it kind of looked like the receiver in the quarterback weren't exactly on the same page it's kind of I think Patrick expected Ballard to come back to cut sighs Vallecano slid behind the play and it's an interception and it kind of summarizes what the night has been offensively for the Golden Lions because they have moved the football they've been in scoring position they've had opportunities but the turnovers in scoring position have really hurt them to them and you're right I think most of most of those turnovers have been deep into Southern's territory so those are ones you can't get back you do a great job over the ball and he gets stuck on that side look like Jordan blue as the defensive end came off a little slow after that play as well and the Jaguars come out with the pass and you see Shawn Smith steel pointing back at the southern ball club there he is something he didn't like on the play but that was a bit of a surprise with 540 to go I think TJ Bedford I saw him kind of looking shaking his head like man I missed it I think there was a little missed Skelton saw something and Bedford didn't see exactly what he saw but he realized where that ball went where he probably should have been looked like but it does stop the clock 5:40 in the fourth here [Applause] skelton at quarterback would been in the backfield and Ben is not gonna pick up much maybe two inside there but where you have to be impressed with the effort by the southern Jaguars tonight they lost a heartbreaker last week they didn't play a good first half came back in the second half made a big rally came back to take the lead and then they would lose down the stretch and to you know when we talked to coach this week he said my team is not down they have their head up this is where we're gonna find out what they're made of and that came out here tonight and they played extremely well not good I agree 100% and again I think the offensive line needs to have you were giving out game balls you have to give at all yeah you know like you said you don't want to do that free meal though unless you really have to hit with the balls of Cheaper skelton dancing around in the pocket now he's going to run and he just steps out of bounds after a short pickup say that's where he just needs to be laid out to people let that clock keep going yeah you know we mentioned some of these guys before you talk about the big fellas up front you've got corridor 65 300 Jeremiah a b6 for 325 Brinson 6:1 280 Bishop six to three hundred and Jodeci Harris 6 8 325 yeah joe does he's played well I've seen a lot of that remember when they were really moving that ball in the last drive at left tackle that's where they were running off of Jodeci and they obviously he's been he's been doing his work and that is van again on the handoff surging for Tyler Smith number 97 there to make the stop on Ben they're gonna have to backs over 100 yards in this game Ben's right at 99 well I mean that's you know you know you come out you you want to see what you made up and you come out and say we're going to run the football and you get two backs over 100 yards that's pretty impressive that's an impressive night and you look at Chaney with the 107 and like what he said Ben as 99 yep well actually his net dropped him down to 83 because he had a couple of loss play just lost yards there so but it's still a very impressive night for both those guys been with 21 carries and Cheney with 12 and it kind of flew under the radar and not really because he rushed for three touchdowns but if you look at Skelton he has eight carries for 52 yards and the three touchdowns very productive he picks the right moments and that's what I was saying earlier he picks the right moments to run you know he's dangerous you have to sit there and wait and write about the time you think okay these backs are gonna keep getting the ball he just keeps it himself and takes it in and he's got some great moves I mean it's not like it's just he has one or two moves that create that opening third down now coming up with the Jaguars about 307 to go Skelton fires a pass he gets his man that's Benford on the slant pattern Bedford with a catch and then he goes down but that'll be a first down for the southern Jaguars that's what your colleges trying to hoist the game put things away third and 2 late in the game they weren't conservative they went for the past that's trusting their quarterback trusting the receivers to go do what they need to do to seal the game well in that little slant class if you do read it right it's it's it's usually as good as run as far as protecting the football but that was yeah I agree it's the safer pass but it was a deeper yeah slant it wasn't a short one so but good play call call and all the Jaguars a guy got to be really pleased with what they've done here tonight is their opening game their opening conference game in the SWAC conference and they just came out and they said you know he told us on the phone we're the defending champs we have to go out and play like it and I think that's what they did tonight hi great and for Pine Bluff I mean for me watching them that's a really solid team a lot of good weapons they just had some key turnovers in the wrong moments yeah and the upcoming schedule you can see for southern and they're not going to face Prairie View A&M on October 12 followed by Texas Southern at Texas Southern on October 19th and then the big one coming up with Alcorn State on October 26 yeah it's a gauntlet yeah it is so it'll be good to see those guys when they come to Houston to take on Texas Southern and well you want to win the West you know what's ahead of you right at the end of the day you know what's ahead of you head coach Odom's has never had a losing season in his eight years at Southern that's impressive yeah that's an extremely impressive and in the land of the landscape of college football today to go eight years and not have a losing season and he got his team ready to play tonight there were opportunistic on defense and they did the dirty work on offense a timeout by Arkansas Pine Bluff so we're gonna pause for a timeout here in the booth with the son of Jaguars leading 28 to 7 125 to go in this ballgame pay for what you need [Music] 125 to go in our ball game tonight as you can see the southern Jaguars leading Arkansas Pine Bluff 28 to 7 jaguars with the football they have it a big third down coming up for Southern now as they've been working on the clock on this drive this time the handoff goes to Ben again and he's going to be taken down little or no gain on that play that Darius Kelton the quarterback tonight his night 17 out of 25 Arkansas Pine Bluff will use another timeout but Skelton 17 out of 25 with 157 yards but he also ran for three touchdowns a very impressive outing in his home come yeah I was going to say that the the passing yards don't relate they're not sure but a very strategic how he did it but again the rush is eight rushes 52 yards more importantly three touchdowns now we take a look at the at the Arkansas Pine Bluff schedule they will take on land college Knicks that's on October 5th then the Mississippi Valley State coming in here to Simmons Bank field that should be interesting and then a matchup versus the Grambling State Tigers on October 26 before they wrap up the season at Jackson State and at Prairie View ADM yeah so the next three games they'll be right here and get some home cooking after they'll take a look at some of the miscues they've had clean that up and they'll be ready to go so the Jaguars are gone I'm going to line up for a field goal here with 120 to go in the ball game Barajas kick is up and it is good so the southern Jaguars tack on three more as baraja comes on and kicks the field goal to make it a 31 to 7 lead with 114 to go left on the clock I agree with you Jorge you know it didn't turn out quite the way that Golden Lions would have liked tonight but they have a lot of skilled players this is a very very good team and we have not seen the last of them yet there's no doubt about that I mean I think when they look at the film right you look at you look at the video and you sit down and you see how close you were to certain plays and again you see where those turnovers happen those were critical spots on the field where they happen you can clean that up though those aren't things the rest of the execution of their team was really good I mean I thought they had you know some good runs early and again the passing other than the several of those are those plays that were intercepted we're pretty clean and good I mean but at the end of the day southern 426 yards of offense and the Golden Lions 289 so I mean the southern just really really controlled the ball it looks like it was Martel Fontenot on that field goal attempt good from 46 yards and that's where we are on the scoreboard 31 to 7 so the Golden Lions will get one more shot at it with a minute and 14 ticks to go left in this ballgame pick out about kicking pee number 30 always playing 35 yard line for sound really for Arkansas Pine Bluff tonight I mean it's just been a game of turnovers I mean they've kind of shot themselves in the foot I mean they've moved the ball pretty well when you look at it they've been down in scoring territory they just have not really been able to cash it in yeah like I said looking forward though those are the things that can be cleaned up and I think they'll move forward they'll be successful moving forward a [Applause] completed pass from Skyler Perry over near the sidelines as they're still playing hard to 1 Miller on the catch he's had a pretty good night look at the receiving and then Miller another completed pass this one goes to Ballard Miller so far on the night five catches for 59 yards it's a lead Arkansas Pine Bluff you Delta midfield you know Pine Bluff came into this game and this will maybe tell you a little bit about how well southern played defense tonight they were averaging 37 points a game and tonight they have seven yeah that that's a that's a huge huge stat there's no doubt about it but you can hold a team that's that offensively explosive and you got seven points on the board that ball that is impressive yeah Skyler Perry trying to get it down in a hurry [Music] well a first down so the Golden Lions take the play they do not want the penalty for offsides have 30 seconds to go on this ballgame [Music] Perry's gonna step up in the pocket he's gonna run it slide safely to the ground this is where you got to be careful you own guys just getting hurt well this was and we have another flag on the play so that will back to the Golden Lions up a bit with 24 seconds to go and they'll go back and they'll look at the tape and coach Thomas will say hey fellas we were right there we did everything except hang on to the football and the southern Jaguars can say well we were very opportunistic tonight they came in forced a couple of turnovers played some really good defense tonight very impressive they played a complete game really did and again even though Skelton had two first-half interceptions he took care of the ball in the second half we talked about the 16th starters that Southern had coming back well that experience show tonight they really came out and they played like an experienced team and that will do it right there as skyla Perry runs out of bounds and you can see coach towns getting his guys out there to go congratulate the southern Jaguars as we take a look our final score 31 to 7 so far Jorge Vargas I am butch ålesund or saying so long from Pine Bluff Arkansas where the final score is 31 to 7 the southern Jaguars knocked off Arkansas Pine Bluff all games airing on the ESPN networks are streaming live and archived on the ESPN app this has been a presentation of ESPN goodnight
