2020 NCAA Football West Virginia at Oklahoma State

offense and the quarterback run aspect it's not surprising if he can't move play the young freshman that looks so composed last week in the comeback so sanders with the sprained ankle last week illingworth boy did he have a composed second half and what really was a bit of a slog of a game for oklahoma state they found a way to get by tulsa although oklahoma state won the toss an option to defer their option to the third quarter so it will be west virginia with the football [Applause] underway at boone pickens stadium austin wright brings it out and gets brought down right about at the 20-yard line well jared daggie lubbock texas he calls home now he's at west virginia a transfer from bowling green was a two-year starter at bowling green went to the manning passing academy last year as well and when he was in quarantine dan he found a very interesting way to stay in shape mom and dad both helping him out i think this is great how cool is first of all his mom's got better feet than me when i played but this is just so cool i'd imagine as parents years ago thinking what could be many years to come probably a nostalgic moment lenny brown he picks up a yard on first down letty brown and alex sinkfield both with 123-yard rushing games a couple of weeks ago for head coach neal brown and what was a lopsided opener as you would expect against eastern kentucky now we find out what the mountaineers really are all about as they open up on the road here against oklahoma state empty backfield for daigy little pitch and catch he finds bryce forward wheaton and that's good for a first down i love the use of the empty personnel or empty formation for west virginia spread oklahoma state out and get an easy throw for dagi on second down 13-yard gain now it's lady brown picking up about two and a half wrapped up a lot of scrimmage by sione tyler lacy there to help on the tackle as well really good job i see of just keeping his shoulders square at the line of scrimmage watching that letty brown committed to the football and then going to make that tackle lady brown again lost a half yard and now we've got third down and at least eight trey sterling came up to help out aubameyang on the stop third down in law if you're west virginia even early in this game you've got to be thinking here comes some pressure that's what oklahoma state defensively loves to do they just did it on second down you gotta have an answer for the blitz that's going to come your way here comes that blitz hagie will loft one down the seam left and it's incomplete as he was looking for winston wright so it will be a punt for west virginia and they brought it there's all out zero blitz everybody's blitzing someone takes a guy that's your man-to-man west virginia had the answer sterling did an outstanding job of kind of colliding the receiver at about five or six yards and not giving him a run down the field west virginia is going to have to come back to that because oklahoma state will continue to bring that pressure tyler sumter forcing a fair catch on about the 24-yard line by dylan stoner well it doesn't matter at times who's playing quarterback for oklahoma state you give this guy the ball uh what i love is two things best understanding patience behind your blocker allow that linebacker to scrape over the top set it up put your foot on the ground go get yourself another four or five yards and then this vision the understanding of how the backside flow will affect your run press downhill see that flow's gonna go over the top to your right cut back and then you get yourself another eight nine ten yards his vision is probably his greatest talent and that's saying a lot because he's got great feet and long home run speed play action though for illingworth on first down and he's going to look deep one-on-one is the officials say that ball hit the deck that close to a deep ball for dylan stoner beautiful throw by the young freshman stoner lays out a lot of hand fighting downfield you'll love the effort that ball just looked to clip the ground maybe man that looks close to a catch ty smith was there in coverage stoner's over on the sideline hoping that replay will take one more look at whether or not he did have control of that football and it looks like that is what will happen we'll step aside and check on dylan stoner's would be catch when we come back back in stillwater and a moment ago replay did confirm and it was announced at boone pickens stadium that this was indeed an incomplete pass for dylan stoner as he did not have complete control of the football when it hit the deck and so the officials on the field with the correct call it's now second down and 10 for oklahoma state at their own 25 yard line bob schuzin alongside dan orlowski chris button with us as well play action illingworth quick out route to brayton johnson and that looks to be good enough for a first half bob these players are sacrificing so much just to be able to play this season especially chuba hubbard he's from canada and with the strict regulations at the border he can't go home his family can't come to a game so it will be an entire year before he sees them he even became an uncle during that time his sister gave birth to a little boy he hasn't been able to meet his nephew yet wow everybody has a story about how covid has impacted them long throw to the sideline into double coverage intended for tylan wallace is incomplete for millingworth it'll be second down and 10. and imagine chubba hubbard this is a guy that grew up in a suburb outside of edmonton playing canadian rules football so he's a track star on a bigger field in a game that allows you to get a running start at the line of scrimmage now try and cover him and bring him down with a head start i probably would have been a pretty good canadian high school football coach within then wide receiver screen to braden johnson it'll be third down for oklahoma state interesting so far gundy and offensive coordinator casey dunham decided to come out and be aggressive right play action shot first play two quick throws on the next two consecutive plays now they got third down west virginia not a team that loves to press you on third down they want to keep the ball in front allow their pressure just from their front four to get home another hitch wrap short of the first down is tyler wallace shawn mahone came over to help on the stop as he combined with taiki smith and so both teams get a third down stop mctroy fortune was there as well for the mountaineers the australian sophomore tom hutton to kick it away andover and kick alex sinkfield cut down at the 12-yard line field position on the side of oklahoma state when we come back college football on abc is presented by playstation 5. play has no limits well even in the era of coronavirus teams are trying to keep the traditions alive as best they can only 15 000 people or so allowed at boone pickens stadium today so not many on campus no tailgating and yet the pokes still did their walk across campus into the stadium we've got a socially distanced crowd and let's take a look at our chick-fil-a impact players for west virginia offensively bryce ford wheaton really big physical receiver that can go make some of these contested catches and then defensive lineman trace forward for oklahoma state but i love watching before the snap he will move around a ton to try to mess with the offensive line broken tackle for letty brown and he picks up 14 on first down that's a way to change field position one snap from deep in your own end and it's a fresh set of downs for west virginia neutral zone infraction looks like a free play and dagi's going to take a shot why not a jump ball that floats for sam james out of bounds but that looked like a freebie for west virginia that's all tied to the movement of trace ford all tied to his pre-snap movement with a guy that you know wants to try to create havoc for the offensive lineman mentally before the snap something you can do to control that is the changing of the cadence make sure we're not going to allow you to just dance around the town you got to be ready when we're ready so i love that out of west virginia early in this game lady brown shoves a man down at the line of scrimmage and gets to midfield boy will that fire up the sideline the block by the tight end tj banks number 85 comes from the right side of the formation back across and just totally sealed off the pursuit huge run for lady brown right back to letty brown for three yards this time he's bet by malcolm rodriguez so what oklahoma state loves to do on their defense defensive front is slant you can attack that with the zone run game last season lady brown led west virginia with 367 yards rushing for the season at this rate he's gonna have 367 yards under his belt by week three [Applause] slips through the arms of a tackler at the line of scrimmage here and comes up about two yards shy of the first down brought down by rodriguez so this will be third down and a long one close to two and i would imagine jared parker west virginia's offensive coordinator neil brown are planning on going for this on fourth down so you can be aggressive with your play call here you're getting push at the line of scrimmage maybe you try to take a shot in some man-to-man coverage they keep it conservative but lettie brown gets the job done the push inside right now for west virginia's offensive lineman baron brown gummiter the two guards in tackle are just totally changing kind of denting that defensive line and getting great push alex sinkfield now in the game he'll be the faker on play action hit as he throws it's a jump ball and it's broken up down near the five-yard line by radarius williams doing his best impersonation of his brother greedy who played at lsu and was a high draft choice of the cleveland browns it's a big shot on degree right here here comes the prep that's those are the worst the midsection are the worst from a linebacker who's got some speed built up to you into that midsection when you're jumping those aren't fun man who's the worst to ever give that to you i got one in mind i had that exact play versus jonathan vilma except he picked me up and slammed me on the ground when he was still legal play action dagi off his back foot incomplete that looked like a miscommunication with reese smith the true freshman so now the run game gets you from inside your own 15-yard line all the way out here midfield two in completions now it's third down to ten and this is again the situation you don't want to be in versus an oklahoma state defense last third down in seven they brought zero blitz so you have to have an answer there's the all out pressure if you're west virginia find one of those one-on-one slots on the inside and give him a chance on an outbreaking route and they stay very conservative and hand it off to alex sinkfield on third down and 10. and cameron murray he blew that play up right at the start calvin bundage was there to help as well so now it's fourth down at 13. don't love the sequence of play calling there listen i love being aggressive on first down and taking your shot but then on second down you've got to do something to allow yourself to have a chance on third down so it's a quick game throw it's a screen you try to punch a run because once you get into third and 10 versus this defense you're you're just not set up for success so i don't love the play call sequence there out of west virginia tyler sumter punted for neil brown at troy and now we've got whistles and this play blown dead as the play clock wound down before sumter was able to get the snap play game offense sometimes there are drives that can be successful right even if you don't score and even though west virginia stalled starting from deep in their own end and now punting from midfield see where sumter is able to kick this ball to as stoner with a fair catch at the 10-yard line so at the very least for west virginia a very good job of flipping field position scoreless early up lamar jackson on chiefs ravens monday night but tomorrow on sunday nfl countdown before mahomes and lamar jackson face off all access with the nfl's last two mvps plus one-on-one with russell wilson randy moss ranks the best catches for college football it's countdown 10 a.m eastern on espn tomorrow as chuba hubbard is brought down and thurman thomas by the way there is thurman thomas's old buffalo bills jersey as we get set for sunday countdown at 10 a.m tomorrow morning and thurman thomas is going to be the first ever inductee into the new ring of honor a tradition they are starting today at boone pickett stadium at oklahoma state and a guy that someday is going to end up in that ring of honor was just brought down at the line of scrimmage by darius stills so chuba hubbard can't get it going it's third down to 10. what a career over 5 000 rushing yards for thurman thomas a two-time big eight player of the year and not only in the nfl the pro football hall of fame but the college football hall of fame as well might be a free play for illinois takes a shot down the sideline tylan wallace all the way out across the 40. there is a flag down but it looked as if west virginia jumped defense number 55. that pendulum is declined the result to play is the first down how about the young freshman using his cadence on third down again but i love tyler walsh here watch he's gonna get that squat corner get past him left arm swim gets ready for the football sit in that zone stiff arm just an awareness as a receiver the physicality off the release i love the settling that zone illinois doesn't look like a freshman no pretty good throw by a true freshman to say the least and there's broken tackles and spinning for a first down as cuba hubbard no one ran for more yards last season in fbs than chuba hubbard or scored more touchdowns in any power five league last year illingworth will try and take off and take a hit as he starts to slide met by alonzo adai we check in with kevin nagandi bobby's studio update brought to you by att 5g our first top five upset of the season taking us to norman blake lynch 50 yards out under man kansas state they scored 24 unanswered for the second year in a row they knocked off oklahoma 38-35 that is unbelievable hillingworth they'll be sacked that result it's like deja vu looks familiar i think you and i have brought back some memories we were last year in manhattan to see the upset well we can't get blamed for it this year now like last year it was our fault not our fault hey klatt enjoy third down and 14. by the way a big cheer went up at boone pickens stadium when they flashed that score up in front of the oklahoma state fans no surprise you should get two safeties here out of west virginia's defense split safeties so really the goal for broken oklahoma state should be can you get it two on one two guys going at one of those safeties vertically hillingworth well protected now you've got a decision to make if you're oklahoma state stoner two yards shy of the first down fourth down and two at the plus 40 yard line too far to try a field goal but probably too close to punt so it looks like mike gundy's going to go for it i i've got to go for this if i'm mike gundy like let's let's look your offensive line struggled last week right you've got a decent drive going let's see if we can rely on our all-american tailback to go get these two yards and just as you say mike gundy's making the right move letting chuba hubbard run forward on fourth down and two he plays field position and you could hear the boos in the background from the crowd they wanted oklahoma state to go for it but it will be a tom hutton hunt instead fair catch at the four yard line by singfield for shane illingworth last week when he got to come in as a third string quarterback his mom has actually moved here from california but she hadn't seen him since christmas and she got a chance to see him on the field afterwards he talked to her and she said come out here standing here on the field he goes out she's in tears she gets to hug her son for the first time in nearly eight months what a special moment and for anyone who's a parent to understands the emotion getting to watch your kid and hug them for the first time well chris you can watch moments like that and others every thursday all access with the cowboys our time oklahoma state football unprecedented footage sound from players and coaches including mike gundy and schuberth are streaming exclusively on big 12 now on espn plus you can download the app or go to espn plus dot com first down run right up the middle and that was quickly met by eamonn obama behind the line of scrimmage maybe a gain of a yard and a half so it'll be second down and a long eight for west virginia lady brown on the carrot i thought that was a really cool moment moment with illingworth and his parents i mean my son in flag football today completed like a three yard pass and i was gonna cry so i can't imagine watching your true freshman son do that [Applause] quick pass over the middle t.j simmons spins to the 20-yard line he picks up 13 and a first down i like that play call after the run you get that hard run action and make it easy for jared daggy hey if you like something pre-snap on this run pass option throw if not let's get into the play and if that second level linebacker commits to that let's just replace him with that slant i love that for this west virginia offense that's a four-yard hookup [Applause] sam james on the receiving end you know it's interesting for jared daggy he transfers from bowling green yeah last year they only played him in four games so that maintained his red shirt eligibility and everyone's got a red shirt eligibility this year as letty brown has turned back so he could actually because if you so choose playing football this year the ncaa has already said you get another year of eligibility they're not going to be charged for this season it could be a three-year player at quarterback for west virginia if he stays the whole time third down at six oklahoma state's showing pressure west virginia looks to the sideline changing their play let's see if oklahoma pops out and plays zone coverage they're showing blitz five-man rush right at the sticks it's a first down catch by the true freshman reece smith the show pressure they drop out and play two man two safeties deep man coverage underneath reese smith the true freshman is outstanding patience wise off the line he's got a five-yard outro get to your depth don't allow the defender to tell you where to go and then separate at the top of your route true freshman winning off his release check down to letty brown it's a nice one-on-one tackle made by jared bernard converse yeah but i don't mind that one bit because as a play caller you're calling that play to get three or four yards at worst hey give me a completion here let's make sure that this gets out of your hands we'll get to second and seven like you're calling certain plays for certain results as a play caller if you're jared parker so i love that decision out of daegu now this is the empty empty package empty formation you're trying to spread out oklahoma state and make sure that they cover all that 53 in the third sideline to sideline only a three-man rush and dagu's going to take off he will be hit as he slides and that should take us to the end of the quarter devin harper made the stop so it will be a third down for west virginia to open up the second quarter west virginia and oklahoma state scoreless after water and we'll be back after this message and a word from our abc stations the sec is back alabama missouri college football prime time presented by playstation five tonight at 7 eastern on espn and the sec of course 10 conference games this season six divisional opponents four non-divisional opponents and a two-week bump of the championship game for december 19th and all that dan arlovski is fine with us if it means we get sec football back to go along with the big 12 as we open up the second quarter and whistles at the snap before third down and four for west virginia trying to snap false start offense number 57 five yard penalty still third down so now it's third down at nine in these third downs west virginia loves to work the slot winston wright right here this slot receiver try to give him a match-up where he can work on a less recovering defender oklahoma state shows blitz slow snap here they come they've got a free runner danke one on one down the sideline broken up well defended by radarius williams that was the first incompletion for dagi on that drive he was four for four before that miss here comes that all-out pressure again bundage absolutely lights daggy up great job getting the ball out and giving sam james a chance downfield roderis williams just right there and i can't express to people how hard that is those corners are by themselves at the line of scrimmage you are one on one and the offense has the whole field to work with you better have a ton of trust in your guys that they can go do that and oklahoma state defensive coordinator jim knowles does fair catch by dylan stoner and once again an opportunity to check in with kevin bob studio update let's go to lubbock and texas is sam ellinger 9 of 10 so far to joshua moore here 31 yards out 17-7 texas in the first quarter updating also our audience ucf continues to roll 51-28 at the final dylan gabriel 408 four touchdowns tulsa next weekend back to bob dan and chris well tulsa gave oklahoma state all they could want yeah in their opener it was a low scoring kind of a slog of a game that shane illingworth was able to manage 13 second half points that earned him the start today but this is a negative play on first down a little slip to the tight end jilani woods that goes nowhere loss of two west virginia defensively just daring oklahoma state to throw the football daring them to push the ball downfield play action slam a yard shy of the first down to tay martin [Applause] talk about the confidence of illinois they didn't even know if he would suit up last week because he missed 14 days of practice due to contact tracing was only able to practice two days heading into the tulsa game you watch him on the sidelines he is laughing with his teammates always smiling that's what the coaches will tell you he's a kid you never know if they're winning or losing by the look on his face and his attitude they said it was a close race between he and ethan bullock as to who was going to be the number two hard to believe when you watched them both play last week as breaking three as l.d brown go watch the left side of your screen number 61 number 89. give that crease springfield jilani woods and then ld brown is a home run hitting back home state all the publicity goes to chuba hubbard l.d brown is going to be on some trapped boards as well and if he keeps making plays like this long speed for the sooners but the cowboys up 7-0 welcome back to espn college football presented by playstation 5. as we continue dr pepper's championship drive game of the week bob wishousen here with dan orlowski chris button alongside as well oklahoma state strikes first l.d brown takes it the distance and winston wright will take a knee well it is the first ever inductee into the brand new ring of honor for oklahoma state thurman thomas why not that's a terrific first inductee and he spent some time in the locker room and in the hotel last night meeting with these oklahoma state players showed him the old cabbage patch dance that he used to do when he would score so what does l.d brown do oh there's a little thurman thomas tribute but all the way back in the 80s yeah he got it started that's sweet i like those old linebacker shoulder pads the pads and then the face mask right i mean thurman thomas wore the greatest face mask ever because most people who wore that weren't good at football and thurman thomas wears that face mask and you're like wait you're unstoppable trust me growing up as a jets fan he was unstoppable or so it seemed that offense when they got it rolling seemed unstoppable who wasn't against the jets thank you and now we've got a flag right after the touchback that is not making the head coach very happy neil brown's team marches back five and we're having a tough time with the referees microphone so i'm not even sure what it was they got penalized for and a tunnel screen only goes for about three yards on first and 15. it may have been a delay of game penalty after the kickoff on west virginia sam james was brought down almost immediately only a two yard gain on first down so second down to 13 for the mountaineers when you run screens they should be successful unless the defensive line is willing to run cam murray for oklahoma state there made that play just by turning and running back to the football levi brown breaking tackles first down and more out to the 40-yard line maybe the 41. that's a pickup of 18. it's a perfect example of when backs don't stop their feet just continue to run continue to run continue to run and force people to tackle you early in the season practices are weird off season's different training camp has been different forced these guys to make tackles on you flag down however the result of the play is the first down after the play unsportsmanlike conduct offense number four that is his first for spinning the ball that 50-year penalty will be enforced it will be first and 10 west virginia so letty brown picks up a first down a 19-yard gain that is an unsportsmanlike conduct foul though so in the end it's a four-yard net gain for west virginia they do get credited with the first down however wait that's unsportsmanlike conduct yes listen if he did it in someone's face to taunt them i'm okay with that this is an emotional game only all he's doing is getting up and like having some emotion like to me that's there's no way that's a an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty [Music] wheel route sink field pushed out of bounds trey sterling came over to bump him out it'll be second down at 10. ball is kind of drifting him out and then sterling's right there west virginia is trying to use some motion some play fake to confuse oklahoma state defensively but they're in man defense they're doing a great job being disciplined having their eyes on their receiver or running back rather than watching the football over the middle making the catch t.j simmons gets a block breaks a tackle all the way down to the oklahoma state 35-yard line before he has finally run out watch the eyes of david stare to your left his right hold that middle linebacker number seven and then bring that crosser into that window talk to neil brown about dagi i said man i think he does a great job with his eyes he sees windows not defenders when you're playing zone coverage you've got to be able to see windows not defenders move those people certain ways to create throwing areas dega does that at a very high level perfect example right there play action slam to winston right that's good for 10 yards and another west virginia first down take advantage of pressure pressure comes from the field you run that rpo that outside linebacker comes replacing with the slant and trying to play with tempo and maybe a little too much tempo for west virginia part of the snap false start offense number 74 five yard penalty still first date that's the left guard james committer you know that oklahoma state's going to come up and play man coverage and daria to throw the football or to take a chance downfield you got to earn your paycheck here as a play caller allow your guys to give some look at this you got man coverage up top man coverage on the bottom man coverage in the slot one of those guys you got to help win with their routes here comes the blitz and rushing the throw was danger so now it's second down at 15. it's there it's there winston wright did a great job again setting his defender in man coverage and slipping inside dagi just be a blink more patient because that run fake is getting those linebackers to step up again you're in man coverage the middle of the field completely vacated if you put that ball on winston right he's probably going to cross that safety space and go score jared daggie made three starts last season as they preserved his redshirt one of those starts was against oklahoma state it was in morgantown and west virginia lost the game by seven down by seven again here again it's a crossroad this one's incomplete again rice ford wheaton couldn't hold on christian holmes helped knock it away third down at 15. the run game has got things going downhill for west virginia but they have stalled either with shot plays that have been incomplete or penalties have hurt them the last thing i want to do is call a play where diggy's got to hang in the pocket here so i'm going to call something even if it's to this soft zone up here you got a soft zone up there give me five or six yards and i'll kick my field goal four-man rush biggie has it knocked away that might be a loose ball after it and picking it up oklahoma state to the house [Applause] tyrone irving takes it the distance for a scoop and watch the bottom of the screen ford right here a little dip inside now watch the right hand come by whack on that ball daggie's trying to climb the pocket three or four hitches fumble return for oklahoma state that's exactly why i said do not call something to have him hang in the pocket 94 is too good yeah tyron irby gets the scoop and score touchdown but it is trace ford you said it right at the start if there is an x factor in this game yeah it's going to be whether or not west virginia can diagnose where trey's ford is lined up and do they have a plan to block him and especially on third and 15 you're getting one of the country's best pass rushers certainly in your conference i know pass is coming and i'm going to beat my guy one on one that's why i just wanted that ball to get out of dagi's hands we just wanted a nice drive let's go get some points oklahoma state scores on offense oklahoma state scores on defense and the pokes have a two-touchdown lead college football presented by playstation 5 on abc is brought to you by pacific life more than 150 years strong trust in your tomorrow well so far this century neil brown the fourth head coach at west virginia his second season as the mountaineers head man last year one game below 500 but he was a winner at troy three straight 10-win seasons at troy and was the sun belt coach of the year three seasons ago helped develop that nascar offense under tommy tubberville when he was the offensive coordinator at texas tech and he was the oc when texas tech delivered one of the all-time crushing losses to west virginia all the way back in 2012. so he'll come out to the 25-yard line as winston wright takes a knee bob schussen dan orlowski and chris budden and now it's a bounce-back opportunity for west virginia after they had driven down to the point where they were at least in field goal range and allow a scoop and score touchdown the other way and this is when great leadership needs to show up because you moved the football right you've just gone on a couple drives and this is time in a huddle where you guys hey let's regroup we're fine let's stop hurting ourselves we're fine we'll go right down the field and get ourselves back into this ball game one play at a time and it's got to start with your quarterback jared daggy just operating this offense west virginia's got two more total yards so far than oklahoma state but that turnover became seven and they've also given up one big running play on the touchdown run by l.b brown and now sinkfield is caught behind the line of scrimmage by malcolm rodriguez so it's a negative play on first down you know virginia something that oklahoma state has become synonymous with defensively is negative plays and it's a fine balance with jim knows their defensive corner like how aggressive do i want to be to create these bit negative plays because you expose yourself for the potential of a big play by the offense just because of numbers and slanting but he always says i don't ever want to regret not being aggressive enough there's a first down catch winston wright i'll hook up with diggy that's the match-up for me winston wright and rhys smith those slot receivers i truly believe if they continue to give those guys option routes they will win dagi with a swing pass to sink field little dead leg in the flat first down and more west virginia's moving the football can they finish a drive with points we call that by sink field we call that the eager that's a move i make occasionally at the media buffet when the opportunity arises there's a negative play again a jim knowles defense creating a minus on first down that'll be second down and 11 israel antoine there to make the tackle and the negative play again is because of all the pre-snap movement guys are just they start in one spot and right before the ball move to a different spot but the thing they do well is once the ball is snapped they all consistently get where they're supposed to get so they're gap sounds another pass defense for radarius williams he's got something to say about it afterwards third down at 11. i might stop throwing at eight right now it's just he's not allowing these receivers off the line of scrimmage so if you're west virginia stop thinking outside start thinking inside continue to try to work in between those numbers third down so far oklahoma state has brought zero pressure and then played coverage you've got to anticipate you're going to get a zero blitz here again work one of your slot receivers on an outbreaking route well timeout's going to be called by west virginia 908 to go in the first half two touchdown lead oklahoma state the national championship trophy presented by dr pepper has made its way to boone pickens stadium here in stillwater and whose hands will that trophy end up in after the most unusual college football seasons got a long way to go and a long way to go in this game between oklahoma state and west virginia bob wishousen alongside dan arlovsky chris budden with us as well big play here for the mountaineers third down and 11. three-man rush dagi on the slant he's got a first down hookup winston wright able to wall off the coverage and that's a big one for west virginia work those slot receivers 16 will win for you saw the drop down by the backside safety got that ball out on time now a timeout call defensively by oklahoma state oklahoma state is called their first time out of the half 30 seconds in lane winston wright only had 19 catches all of last season but he's playing a much bigger role for west virginia this season let's take a look at this week's college football rankings brought to you by playstation 5. clemson has the week off alabama and the rest of the sec getting their year underway as we speak but certainly the one you're going to circle oklahoma for the second consecutive year goes down at the hands of kansas state and this year it happens early 38-35 the wildcats get it done this could be a really fun day for the cowboy fans oklahoma loses you're at home true freshman starting up 14 nothing i'd imagine they could have a really good saturday afternoon if they continue to play well the rest of this game tipped incomplete just off the fingertips of t.j simmons looks like a pretty good throw from but they got something right they've got something there where they believe if they just line up with three wide receivers and sell some run fake downhill and bring that slot receiver on a slant behind those linebackers that's routinely been there so oklahoma state's going to have to figure out how do they want to answer those inside slants four yard shot of a first down for letty brown so another third down coming here for west virginia and this is the prime time when oklahoma state's gonna go okay we're gonna shut this drive down and pressure's gonna come do not throw at number eight williams you've got this punch down here look for some kind of crossing mesh pick out of that trip set with the man coverage off his back foot finds the crosser short of the sticks and now the decision again to be made for west virginia sam james stood up after a gain of a couple it'll be fourth down and three well within field goal range do you take some points here and maybe start to get your team feeling good about themselves or do you go for it it looks like they're going to try and get some points yeah i think this is right again you've you've had some drives eventually these drives got to lead to some points evan staley has missed his only attempt so far this season the former walk-on trying to get west virginia on the board for 39 yards and they left the snap and don't even get a chance to get the kick off [Applause] grayson malashevich the holder could not come up with the snap and a muff on special teams continues what has been a frustrating first half for west virginia snaps right there and malicious hands just does not get the transition from catch down to the ground oklahoma state 14-0 we talked about all the places that trace ford the sophomore would line up well let's show you the different variations first of all off the ball over that left guard okay where is he going to end up after the snap now i'm off the ball over that right guard and how about in the passing situations by himself off the edge watch the right hand come over the top right there he looks a lot like demarcus ware the ex dallas cowboy great right there physical over the top swipe away sack fumble touchdown they've got playmakers on defense and of course they've got playmakers on offense as responsible for that touchdown on the swipe out fumbles forward roughing the passer defense number 50 contact to the head 15-yard penalty added to the end of the play first down and jared bartlett just roughed the freshman shane illingworth after the tylen wallace reception so that becomes a big play that's a people at home's probably not gonna look much like much right not egregious you come in contact with the quarterback's head the quarterback's face it's getting thrown that's just the state of football right now and it's the right call it was a 15-yard completion tack on another 15 yards for the penalty and just like that it's a first down in plus territory and here's chuba hubbard getting to the outside picks up five good job by oklahoma state they put their formation into the boundary they put trips into the boundary west virginia has to match those numbers into the boundary that leaves the whole field where you put thailand wallace out there they leave a safety over the top you can hand that ball off to chewbacca and he's got the hole from the right hash all the way to that field to be able to run here it is again formation up into the boundary look at all those numbers up there so to the bottom of your screen there might be some more running room for hubbard instead he's gonna go right up the middle pick up a first down but you only leave at the line of scrimmage two defenders to the from the left hash to the right side of the ball that that allows the up the middle or towards that right side of the run there's so much area for those defenders to cover west virginia to this point has 20 more yards of total offense than oklahoma state even after that last play covered again bouncing it outside gets waffled after a gain of three but the mountaineers are on pace for a 500 yard day potentially in terms of total yards they've got no points on the board nice job by jelani woods there wrapping around from the left side of the right and a cutback three more yards for hubbard chandler samito made the stop for west virginia it will be a big third down third down and medium third to about five for oklahoma state and i think you got to be very selective with your play call here right third and five you're already somewhat in field goal range do not be surprised if chris casey dunn and mike gundy decides to run the football here and play two down four down territory that diamond formation full house backfield and a run for illingworth and a throw incomplete knocked down by the troy fortune so now it's fourth down in five well within field goal range for mike gundy there is a flag down it looks like on the play there's no foul for an elven man down football across the line of scrimmage fourth down so now mike gundy will attempt to make this a 17 point advantage as he'll have his field goal unit out to try one from about 41 maybe 42 yards alex hale they'll line this one up from 40 yards out he was three for three on opening day and now he's four for four 17-nothing oklahoma state and chris budden bringing you football from stillwater conference opener for west virginia and oklahoma state and west virginia has moved the ball 190 yards of total offense but a defensive scoop and score touchdown for oklahoma state an l.d brown big run up the middle and with 502 to go before halftime it's a three score lead for the pokes you've done everything you've wanted to do if you're west virginia offensively you just one had a crucial mistake in two didn't get the field goal attempted you just got to continue to tell your players we're fine we're fine let's go and go out on another drive and let's one percent better let's not make that one mistake for us and we will get into that end zone you just got to keep your energy up too i want to see derek daigy bring that energy for your offense right here oklahoma state has won five in a row in this series the last time west virginia managed to win against oklahoma state was here in stillwater all the way back in 2014. and they'll pick up four yards on first down on the dive by letty brown second down and six four and a half minutes to go in the opening half and it's about a one yard gain so it will be third down and five for west virginia well if you'd like to keep watching our game we are about to switch over to espn news but right now we're going to send it to abc news in new york for a special report now on espn news third down and five for west virginia in stride a big play winston wright breaks free just what the doctor ordered for the mountaineers touchdown look at slot right here winston wright watch the patience okay come up set to safety get over the top of that corner and let's go long game run away from malcolm rodriguez the patience squared that safety up got that safety to set his feet run across his face huge win for winston right in his mountaineer offense only a sophomore that's the first career touchdown for winston wright and boyd did it come at a time where west virginia desperately needed it they've got 265 yards of total offense now here in the first half they get the ball back one more time they could potentially be on track for a 600-yard day moving the ball they finally score i just want everyone to watch danke here watch him peek to his right real subtly right there shoulder turn that little shoulder turn and peak got malcolm rodriguez that underneath linebacker to freeze we talked about earlier in this game how you can create windows as a passer playing zone defense or playing against his own defense you got to move people the shoulder turn and the peak at the same time by dagi throws that linebacker you trust your receiver to win across the safety space that is perfect pitching catch from 2 to 16. these next three minutes and 48 seconds could be pivotal in terms of the outcome of this game because if west virginia can get a stop the way they're moving the ball there's no reason to think they couldn't be in position for more points before halftime and now they get a mop on the kickoff return were they gifted a possession down deep in oklahoma state territory who's got it it looks like the cowboys have avoided disaster as braden johnson coughed it up that's a panic moment that's a panic moment if you're oklahoma state when that ball is bouncing around right there ball slips right through braden johnson's arms looks like jason taylor the safety was able to come up with it and you're sick to yourself if you're west virginia because you got six guys near the football three and a half minutes to go before halftime l.d brown picks up four yards on first down and these two teams really only know one tempo and that is go go go although now we'll get hillingworth to look over see all these numbers up top for west virginia you've got you've got space here off that defender off this defender right here you've got space for the run game gillingworth well protected he's going to take a shot and well overthrown intended for tylan wallace how important is this play now especially if you're west virginia you have a chance to force a three and out with plenty of time to get the ball back before halftime and maybe score and look at you dominated the football game i mean just statistics wise you've dominated the football game so to your point bob this is huge because you get off the field right now you're feeling great if you're west virginia here we go we're going to have the ball with 2 45 left and we're going to go right down the field again and oklahoma state has not shown a ton of confidence on third down in illinois today oklahoma state has not had a three and out today and they won't have one here tame martin picks up the first step good job using some pre-snap motion to change the formation strength they went from the two receiver side to a three receiver side basically had too many people over there versus that west virginia zone l.d brown with a cut back three yards on first down each team has two timeouts left and it's certainly conceivable that both could be in a position where they're going to want to call them during this possession oklahoma state taking their time which is what they should do right now you want to play with a a thought process of going to get points but you also don't want to play so fast where you give the ball back to west virginia's offense with a ton of time nowhere to go for l.d brown and now you might want to call the timeout if you're west virginia dante stills gets a stop with two minutes to go in the half west virginia is called their second time out of the half much stills right there let's watch the big fellow second watch the swim please [Music] if they look similar they should 56 is darius 55 as dante the brothers stills darius stills is the pre-season big 12 defensive player of the year his brother dante he was second team all big 12 last season that is one big time combination to have in the interior of that defensive line and dan that really as we move through this game might be the difference-making match-up between oklahoma state and west virginia if the stills brothers can make plays and control chuba hubbard not give up big plays in the run game there's no reason to think west virginia can't come from behind and that's what they want to do scheme wise they want to allow those two to control the football game you guys go make the plays and allow us to play our umbrella and coverage keep the ball in front of us watch the brothers when one does something another one will follow coaches say jealousy it's what feeds these guys one does it another one once to one of them and why not darius only one year older than dante but it's almost like coaching twins according to jordan leslie the d-line coach here goes chuba hubbard and now i want to call that last time out of your west virginia preserve as much time as you can for your offense as you force fourth down and they will that's good clock management you know you mentioned this in a game we've worked earlier you as a quarterback would much rather have a minute and 57 and no timeouts and allow that clock to wind all the way down 40 seconds and maybe have a minute 17 a minute 10 or whatever and one time out no doubt because i control the clock when i'm on offense essentially i can control it by spiking the football a deliberate incompletion getting myself out of bounds so give me the time because i could control that stuff i'd rather have the opportunity for snaps than just having a timeout so if you're west virginia here right now what you're doing first of all on fourth down i think they should come after this punt right this punt's gonna get snapped from the 29-yard line so i'd come after this punt to see if i could get something on the block punt but offensively you're making sure your guys understand hey if we're near the first down marker go get it go get that first down but if you don't dance around if you're outside the numbers get out of bounds let's preserve clock and we've got plenty of time to march down this field and at worst-case scenario we're getting a kick to end this half alex singfield back for the hunt and punt and over end fair catch at the 30-yard line that's pretty good field position for the mountaineers as they will begin at their own 30 or just across no timeouts left but a minute 52 to go here in the first half and again this mountaineers offense they've got 265 yards of offense but not only did they have a fumble that resulted in a scoop and score for oklahoma state that 10-play drive that stalled and ended on downs well that was a muff to snap on a field goal attempt where special teams left three points on the field exactly so you're you're totally confident in everything that you've done offensively i'll continue to harp this point work the middle of the football field to winston wright or reece smith that's right in motion it's a screen instead to sean ryan and he is bumped out of bounds by christian holmes good start offensively now the big thing for jared daggie is to understand that oklahoma state can bring their pressure they're all out zero blitz at any point you always have to have a plan for that what is the plan and who are you going to go executed with is it a shot is it a slant is it an out route you just have to know what the plan is and who what the plan is and who's going to be a part of it here they come look at all these bodies up near the line of scrimmage you better have a plan for that pressure chunk cut in the backfield by sick field and it looks like he is very close to a first down and if he gets the first down that should stop the clock but the clock is running and that's why they're going to mark them about a half yard shot i wanted to get to the line of scrimmage let's get some line of scrimmage good quick quarterback sneak there is the quarterback sneak but flags fly were they set this may have been a false start for west virginia we'll see all 11 players never got set prior to the snap false start offense 5-yard penalty still third at the end of the day that's on the quarterback you always get told in those hurry-up situations your number one job is to make sure that everybody is set before the ball gets snapped so you want to play your you want to get to the line of scrims you want to play with tempo you got to make sure that everyone got set here's winston right right here in that slot third down and five after the penalty and a lot of time is coming off the clock down to 108 to go in the half and a next point blow up in the backfield for calvin bundich boy this drive for west virginia going nowhere and now will oklahoma state call a timeout they should before fourth death it's one of those zone reads where bundage has decided i'm just going to go try and blow up that mesh point and dagger's going do i give it do i take it time out of the half 30 seconds in lane that but that play call is probably a perfect example of why it's really difficult to game plan and prepare for a defense like jim knowles because you always have to have an answer for the pressure and the thing is when you don't have an answer for pressure bad things usually happen right so on that situation 104 please maybe we'll just hand it off we'll hand it off i don't want anything bad to happen here just because of the fear of what that pressure puts into your mind as a play caller so now a chance for oklahoma state with a timeout and a minute four on the clock to possibly add to their lead before halftime tyler sumter will kick it away to dylan stoner fair catch at the 32-yard line 59 seconds college football timing rules so a first down stops the clock and you've got a timeout that's all the time in the world for oklahoma state the the question is how much time has shane illingworth had reps wise running their two-minute offense right because two weeks ago he was their third string quarterback and he was in quarantine correct so that's the biggest question for casey dunn is they're offensive coordinators how many reps has he actually run operating this two minute offense and maybe it's a three or four play package where you go you know what shane we're gonna run these three or four plays here and let's just see what happens on first or second down chris budden talked about this when we came on the air illinois missed a couple of weeks of practice towards the end of camp because of contact tracing out of the pocket here and a check down intended for jelani woods is incomplete that'll stop the clock with 53 seconds to go in the half you know me usually i'm all for let's go be super aggressive this would not be the moment for me i i'm i'm up 17-7 i got a true freshman right now the other team doesn't have any more timeouts i'm gonna get this ball handed off and go to halftime and oklahoma state of course will start the third quarter with the ball there's a free 15 yards dante stills grabbed chuba hubbard's face mask so just when it looks like oklahoma state is trying to just play for half west virginia another penalty and this is going to flip field position enough you'd have to think it's going to change oklahoma state strategy right now you're going to be aggressive you're going to try for points now my mind is totally changed because personal foul face mass defense number 55 15 yard penalty and automatic first down because you're going to see the face mask from 55. he's just reaching out right here stills is just reaching out that's just an unfortunate break he knows it that's not something that's intentional but now if you're oklahoma state offensively my mind is totally changed i'm going okay i need another 15 20 yards and i got a shot at a kick they'll still keep it on the ground with chuba hubbard and they'll probably have to call that one time out here a lot of times going to come off the clock after only a six yard gain on an up the gut run play down to 30 seconds to go in the half hillingworth long throw to the sidelines stoner picks up a first down and stops the clock with 23 seconds to go just i love the patience by illingworth this is a big moment right now a lot of pressure things are moving fast he's hanging in that pocket hanging in that pocket climbs get that ball out to stoner and again now you need another 10 yards so you're calling a play with that in mind okay i'm gonna make this an ultra safe play call i've got a timeout in my back pocket i can continue to call my run plays there's another run stood up and now you have to call timeout tony fields noah guzman are there on the tackle and a couple of up the middle runs for chuba hubbard with under a minute to go you're in field goal strategy now and obviously you've kind of taken out any chance to get to the end zone second table by running it the way they have yeah so here's the situation no timeouts are on the clock and you've got a true freshman in the game at quarterback so my goal would be to get rid of 10 seconds here as a play caller so i would tell illingworth hey we're going to try to take a shot one-on-one down the field if it's not there i want you to throw this ball 10 yards over that wide receiver's head i want you to go one two three hitch up throw the ball downfield if you love a one-on-one if not it lands 10 yards out of bounds we burn five seconds i'm all about just burning clock right now because here's the thing you don't want to complete a pass you don't really don't want a completed pass especially behind the line of scr behind the first down marker and the last thing i want is you to hold the ball for a second and a sack happens because you're not prepared for it well it's only second down and three you would i would think have time even if you come up short of the sticks to spike the ball on third down and get set let's see if they do use the middle of the field here in any way they're just going to run it and chuba hubbard's gonna pick up the first down so that will stop the clock they weigh they need it to be stopped and they can spike it and still get their field goal unit out there with plenty of time on the clock and i would think unless you want to run another play here and spike it again just to take the clock down you might just kick it now feel comfortable kicking it here there that's that's a dicey play call on second down though because here's the thing if chuba gets held up if chuba gets held up and he's behind that first down to gain marker that clock will continue to tick tick tick tick and you could not get that snap off so really good execution by the oklahoma state offense this would be a career high for hale if he knocks it through this is first season kicking and that is comfortably through from 44 yards out so alex hale stays perfect he's now five for five on the season three seconds to go before halftime and oklahoma state has pushed the lead back up to 13. and they also start the third quarter with the football that those three points are really part of the face mask right i mean it's unfortunate that happened to dante stills but it's just part of that face mask i remember listening to bill parcells a lot growing up in new york and watching the giants then the jets being in press conferences when he was the head coach of the jets he always talked about hidden yards and you just saw them right there a hundred yards of hidden yards in a game is worth seven points so if i have a hundred yards worth of penalties against me and you have zero even though that hundred yards doesn't show up statistically anywhere in any player's individual numbers or total yards in the game that hundred yards is worth seven points well in the first half west virginia has 70 yards of penalties oklahoma state has five there you go that's about a four-point differential just in penalty yards and then what did you throw in the fumble the scoop and score and the muff where west virginia should have been able to kick a field goal and they mopped the snap i mean that 13 points shows up in mistakes by the mountaineers as much as it does in execution by oklahoma state so with only three seconds on the clock and no timeouts this should be a kneel down you would think for the mountaineers and it will be a 13-point lead oklahoma state will take to the second half against west virginia a team that they have a five-game win streak working against mike gundy is six and two in his career against the mountaineers and that will take us indeed to halftime 20-7 oklahoma state over west virginia at the half kevin nagandi and booger mcfarland in studio with the state farm halftime report after this short timeout welcome back to the dr pepper championship drive game of the week welcome back to espn college football presented by playstation 5 and the big 12 conference on espn just about set for the start of the third quarter of the oklahoma state ball with a 13-point lead over west virginia bob schussen dion orlowski chris button in stillwater and you know the numbers say that this game should basically be dead even but it goes to show you how much total yards necessarily mean yeah i mean west virginia's got to feel okay about itself though because they've been able to manufacture yard to stop beating yourself essentially then for oklahoma state i really believe they're going to have to try to get some points on the board by their offense to try to win this game in the second half the cowboys deferred their option to the third quarter and opted to kick off so they will start the third with the football and it'll come out to the 25-yard line let's take a look at our pacific life game summary well it started with l.d brown the huge touchdown run behind the block of springfield and jelani woods a little celebration at the end and then watch jace trace ford at the bottom of the screen that swipe over the top that gives that sack fumble huge play for this oklahoma defense and then how about this to winston right the slant over the middle great eyes by the quarterback dagi and then the ability to run away to get the mountaineers on the scoreboard does that heighten the importance of this drive to start off the third quarter and can west virginia get a stop to begin the third ld brown brought down behind the line on first down chris button well spoke with neil brown at half and he basically went on for about 60 seconds of every mental error that his team made in the first half focus on the word discipline he liked the way that his team has been able to move the ball found it positive that they were able to do that despite all the errors and mental mistakes they made things that this is a mature enough team to be able to move that and put that in the past they're about to lose a defensive player as vandarius cowan was brought down on that last play and they're working on his left knee cowan's an important part to this defense especially on third downs like to move him around as a rusher he comes through the line of scrimmage there you just see that leg get whipped around on that offensive lineman goes through it right away you just hope just hope he's okay he's an alabama transfer he had a knee injury last season and was only able to play in two games hopefully he will be able to walk that off neil brown's defense gets the negative play that they needed on first down here to begin the second half so second down at 12. blitz off the edges picked up illingworth steps up in the pocket just shy of the first down line to gain as dylan stoner i love the composure again we've we mentioned it from the start of this game the composure by illinois in the pocket again on display there and then how about the job by dylan stoner of coming back to the quarterback coming back that's called being friendly come back to it keep yourself in between you and that defensive back give the opportunity for that completion l.d brown is the tail back he'll try and pick it up and i don't think he got there it will be fourth down and about a half yard inside oklahoma state's own 35 yard line the rolling on field was short of the line to gain fourth down this is textbook run defense by west virginia bartlett kind of squeezed to that puller that shut down that gap and then darius stills the big defensive tackle swam over the top swim over the top and met the tail back right in the hole previous play is under further review the winner on the field was short of the line to gain so the replay booth is going to take a look at where the ball was spotted as darius stills did wrap up l.d brown and it appeared he was a half yard shot had to get to the 35-yard line to pick up a first down and again the only thing that matters is the ball and boy with his back turned i don't even think his back got to the 35-yard line which certainly means the ball didn't get to the 35-yard line it's a great angle right here it's a great finish i don't think that there's any way that you can sit there and say that ball did get to the 35 and you have to see not only a clear vision of the football right so indisputable video evidence where you see the ball and you see it get to the 35-yard line this should be a very quick confirmation from the replay but this actually one of those where i'm surprised this even goes to review and you have to go through this yeah i told you i can fix replay at the snap of a finger right never tell you my my theory here we go my philosophy give it to me the moment that any game and i don't just mean football basketball baseball whatever at the further review the winner on the field is confirmed again fourth down and they actually did it here i think we should put a 60-second clock on television it's got to get done and that's it yeah when that clock goes to all zeros it's on tv and it's up in the stadium by the time that close clock goes to zeroes you have to make a decision and if you can't make a decision in 60 seconds to me by definition it means it wasn't clear-cut enough to obviously overturn the call made on the field anyway and then let's go let's keep the game moving do you try to do this with your wife think that you can solve everything as well well i give up in 30 seconds i we actually have an even quicker system in our house i just say yes i just say yes fair catch by sinkfield inside his own 20-yard line 13-point lead for oklahoma state but west virginia just forced to three it out for the first time back here in stillwater with our aflac trivia question oklahoma state has won five in a row against west virginia that's their second longest active win streak against a power five opponent against which power five school to they hold their longest active win streak if you know anything about the big 12 and big 12 football this couldn't you ask this question for basically everything should be a pretty obvious answer breaking tackles is lady brown and he grinds out about three well how yards west virginia have success offensively it's working those inside receivers i love this this is winston wright you're going to see the tape safety at the top of the screen drop down win on that slant get the ball out on time big gain on third down for your offense how did we get in the end zone watch davey right here move that underneath defender winston right again set that safety cross his face get that ball out in front equals that big play i think that's really going to be a focal point for this offense for success in the second half and oklahoma state's got to answer how are they going to start defending it four and a half more for letty brown third down and two what would your plan be well you got to continue to treat inside leverage as an important thing is your match up the right guy defensively you know is winston right too quick for a safety maybe you bring a corner on the inside but you got to maintain your leverage and then for west virginia to counter it hey if they take that away give winston right the option to go in or out allow him to win off the leverage of the defender third down at three they'll keep it on the ground right at the first down marker just that extra little bit of push from letty brown moves the chase we've seen that though from lady brown today just those feet keep moving and moving the big powerful back the coaches say it's personal when he runs the football team and it shows off play action dagi's going to take a shot he's got a man behind the defense but he overthrows bryce ford wheaton that is a touchdown if dagie can put it on boardweed it's a beautiful job that safety's got his eyes in the backfield ford wheaton wins give me some speed go get that ball and it's just out in front that's the one that's the one but here's the thing now it's in oklahoma state's defense's mind right maybe those safeties play a little bit higher it helps pop a run but don't be surprised if west virginia goes back to it again because it's there lenny brown for a half yard third down and a long nine close to 10. i said it all first half this is when you got to have your plan for zero pressure oklahoma state decided a little bit back into that first half they wanted to play some coverage empty it out clear the picture like an all-out pressure coming from on top no deep safeties in the middle of the field now they drop back there's the slam broke it out tanner mcallister knocked it away there's a flag down personal foul rough from the passer defense number one late with contact to the head 15-yard penalty in an automatic first down alvin bundage he commits the 15-yard foul coming off the blitz up top you said it earlier dan even if it doesn't look like big time contact if it's late and it's to the quarterback's head officials will throw that flag yeah and so to me as a football player and a fan like i sit there and go there's absolutely no right way but that is that one that one rule black and white that they will not compromise on you you contact that head it's going to be a flag betty brown right up the middle that looks to be good for another first down and you know that penalty it doesn't go down as a turnover in the box score that's like a turnover that's gonna be fourth down you're about to get the football back you commit that penalty and you extend this drive for west virginia absolutely huge and now west virginia's got a little bit of new life again continue to pound this football it's all about the safeties it's all it's all about the safeties if it's if you're west virginia watch these guys if they're too close to the football you go over the head if they're down close you take your shot downfield betty brown that's four yards on first down you know there was a conversation we had with neil brown and their offensive coordinator jared parker for west virginia the run game and he said our interior needs to be better gummitter and behrend and brown need to be better and they've had a lot of success running between those three offensive linemen i continue to pound the football here make them stop the run eddie brown's been the workhorse three more yards he's up second down at seven because here's the thing jim knowles is an aggressive defensive coordinator of play caller for oklahoma state defenders do not like to get the football run on them so eventually he goes that's not going to happen anymore and you stop the run by two things numbers or pressure and when you're a play card as an offensive guy you know at some point he's going to dial it up and that's when you take advantage of it when they commit those numbers or pressure look it there's no safety in the middle of this field chance to throw the ball downfield if you want that's the ninth play of the drive and the eighth carry by brown out of the nine plays we've seen so far that's on trey sterling though no longer fooled he was up here the line of scrimmage and run support and brought brown down so now it's third down at six okay so last third down was that zero blitz where everybody's bringing that pressure and you're playing man-to-man coverage on the outside the only guy that has won for you right now is 16 winston wright or reece smith so the big thing is given 15 and 16. these slot the receivers giving them chances to win in the slot there's winston right there's ree smith here comes the blitz daggie the true freshman couldn't hold on to the football as reece smith ran right into contact dagi ends up flat on his back as well and we've got a flag down we think this might be a chop block on alex singfield and mike gundy's being given his options personal foul top lot offense number 20 and number 74 15 15-yard penalty replay third down let's watch singfield as he's going to go this way on this block him and gunmen are 74. that left guard he's going to cross cross cross cross cross engage and then down that high low when that offensive lineman is engaged you can't go down as a back there and hit below the waist so rather than making it fourth down and six mike gundy is going to give west virginia another crack at it on third down now granted it's third down at 21. right they weren't quite in field goal range yet i guess he's thinking if i don't take the penalty it's fourth and six west virginia probably goes for it and they're going to run it with letty brown and he'll get bottled up and the decision for mike gundy pays off and this will be a no doubt about it hunt now for west virginia as colby harvell peel came up to cut down letty brown kind of evens out you had the unsportsmanlike the personal foul hit on the quarterback and then you get that chop block because oklahoma state had deserved play-wise to get off the field and so they get that extra opportunity west virginia does offensively and they can't capitalize off of it really because of the turnover or the penalty dylan stoner lets it bounce and it takes a west virginia role well ugly but effective down to the 12-yard line oklahoma state has the football back and a 20-7 lead midway through the third now the fcc is back and the duck is back as well it's time to answer our aflac trivia question oklahoma state has won five in a row against west virginia that's their second longest active win streak against the power five opponent who's their longest active win streak against well if you followed big 12 football over the years probably not a shock it's kansas hubbard into a a mashup of variety in this oklahoma state offense how about the big touchdown run by l.b brown watch jalani woods and springfield seal off that gap touchdown big hole for numbers here how about a little bit of a zone scheme ball in the right half let's give it to an all-american trouba hubbard one guy out in space you're not going to make that tackle more often than not versus the versatile back and then again zone to the left follow that tight end rap vision where's the hole you cut straight downhill there he is again once again west virginia has forced a third down seven minutes to go in the third quarter last season oklahoma state's third best in fbs as a team in yards after contact a lot of it was chuba hubbard yards after contact they're playing with two high safeties west virginia's got two safeties deep only seven guys in the box this should be a run look for oklahoma state off the right edge there it is plenty of room cruises into the secondary with a third down pickup the same look they're getting up there they're doing that clap okay safety's here you gonna give us us any any indication there's an umbrella look and if you play those safeties high we're going to continue to run the football we don't think your seven guys up front can stop our run game they stay with the heisman candidate and this time he's bottled up at the line of scrimmage may have lost a half yard freshman the big thing is remaining patient with that as a play caller because you get so anxious to go okay we got to take your shot here you got to remain patient and trust that your numbers had on a hat seven on seven will continue to give creases to trouba hubbard robert again close to five yards tony fields tripped him up so another big third down coming now for oklahoma state's offense and you feel great if you're west virginia defensively right here because oklahoma state hasn't been good on third down against you offense to be today they're gonna force you to throw this ball all the way to the boundary on a one-on-one receiver right after chuba hubbard goes over 3000 yards for his career hillingworth with a flag down trying to keep the play alive and he'll get stood up and shoved out well shot of the marker so if this is a penalty and you would think it probably is for holding against oklahoma state west virginia can decline and they'll get the football back yeah jenkins held dante stills coming on the edge right when illinois broke the pocket stills is going to be right there and jenkins their right tackle just held them up holding offense number 73 that penalty is declined fourth down watch the right side of the screen 55 right there on the right edge you see it right there jenkins holding him up holding him up still just trying to fight through and just that right arm gets wrapped around without that he's gonna be right in illinois face this one might be returnable for sinkfield he's going to let it hop and it turns into a good gamble it reaches the end zone so it will come out to the 20-yard line for west virginia when we come back we're back with today's crunch time brought to you by cheez-it these teams have played some great games over the years west virginia back in 2013 rallied to beat number 11 oklahoma state then in 2016 osu upsets number 10 west virginia from my gundy's 100th win and oklahoma state a couple of years ago scored two touchdowns in the final five minutes to upset number nine west virginia so in spite of the fact that the pokes have won five in a row in this series there have been plenty of close ones over the years and now daegu wants to take a shot into double coverage and it's incomplete intended for winston wright i don't think first down is the the down for west virginia to take their shots i think it's second down i would have pounded they're on there because now second and ten you haven't had great success throw in the football and even if you call a run and you get a good run play of five yards you're in third and five i'd love for them to be aggressive here again in the past game trying to get some guys crossing the field to work against this man coverage incomplete on the slant winston right got a hand on it but there may have been a hand on him as well and now it's third down at 10. yeah i think harvey harvell peel got away with one he wrapped winston right right there on the hit all right i've brought it up a ton third and ten jared thank you you better have an answer for the pressure and who's the answer because right now against zero blitz you've had zero success against it so you have to expect for it to come and then adjust if it does not with your progressions it doesn't look like oklahoma state's gonna bring it they're gonna bring some coverage go through your progressions steps up out of the pocket runs right into a sack and gets thrown down by calvin bundick and it'll be a three and out for the mountaineers watch daily climb the pocket that's fine stay right there stay right there don't run into a sack so often in a three-man rush quarterbacks have way more time than they think and they run themselves into a sack because you see more color and more coverage and you think no one's off open and you're clocking your head's going i gotta get rid of this football i gotta get rid of this football you still have to just get through your progressions and run that play fair catch is made by stoner and we're coming back to stillwater in 30 seconds look at that scuffed up wall embarrassing you that wall is your everest but not anymore today let's paint bear exclusively at the home depot that's a steamy day in stillwater but in the second half these offenses have been anything but hot a little stutter step for l.d brown and he picks up a first half zero 12 i feel like he's looked more explosive than chuba hubbard and that's saying a lot i get that but he has looked more decisive and explosive seven carries for 77 yards hillingworth has all day throws an interception to tony fields tony fields with blockers in front dodging tacklers a huge take away from west virginia the grad transfer from arizona flips the script one hitch two hitch three hitch you've done such a good job of protecting the football once you get into three hitches in the pocket get it out of your hands tony fields just hanging there hanging there and the ball gets thrown right to him great job of making that catch and you see the athleticism on the run back and now west virginia's got some mojo italy worth has done such a great job of valuing that ball once you're in that pocket three four hitches move on the play's not working take off and run great play by tony fields now dylan talker he was listed as a starting mike linebacker a couple of weeks ago tony fields though ended up getting in the game making 10 tackles he was all over the field earned the number one spot on the depth chart and now neil brown's not happy maybe again a little sluggish [Music] 30 seconds in lane coming out for west virginia after the takeaway that's a bad time out for the mountaineers you're down by a couple of scores in the second half you might need those timeouts later in this game to call one on a change of possession that's a waste and i think the head coach knew it you got to get your team into the right mindset and play call though you know i i totally agree with you but at the same time this isn't a waste down off that turnover you know like if you don't like the the philosophy of your play call right there you don't have the right people on the field calling that timeout to get them exactly in the mindset of exactly what you're looking for is worth it that's a sunshine state rivalry tonight's saturday night football match up diera king what an impact he has had for the 12th frank keynes they host florida state at hard rock stadium 7 30 eastern on abc and the espn app point the eric gig talk about an impact transfer to say the least the numbers he has put up they've been looking for a quarterback at miami it feels like forever and now they've got one and they got a play caller rhett lashley comes over from smu big time play caller that offense is going to be fun to for a watch now we've got two minutes and 40 seconds to go in the third quarter and jared dage has not completed a pass yet in the second half so they're behind the sticks now second down at 10. looking for his first completion off his back foot throws it up for grabs incomplete right off the chest plate of bryce ford wheaton and on the stumble he couldn't haul it in and again i said it before it's all about where those safeties are those safeties came so close down to the line of scrimmage and you've got those one-on-one matchups as long as the receiver wins defense number 24 15-yard penalty at an automatic first down but he does draw the pass interference flag you got to tip your cap to daigy because he has hung in there and made some throws that is a tough decision for a quarterback okay here comes that pressure i got to give my guy a shot and ford wheaton fighting downfield for the football gosh you'd love to see him make that catch you got to go to him as a quarterback hey i'm coming back to you i'm coming back to you i'm going to need you to come make a play here soon for our offense again oklahoma state shows blitz on first down look at all those people down near the line of scrimmage take your shot again broken tackle bottling the football t.j simmons and he holds up and he's got a first down first and goal for west virginia these slot receivers are going to keep west virginia in this football game continue to win how about the the hand-eye coordination the focus through that contact good job ref getting out of the way little fleet of foot better than bob doesn't say much freddie brown submarines for a couple of yards this is the first red zone possession of the game yeah for either team the touchdowns have all been big plays broken plays even one on defense for oklahoma state you know what i would love to see here is you've done so much ball fake and in-breaking routes i'd love to see a very similar look by your backfield and give my receiver kind of like a slant and corner i want him to do something where he'll come break in and then get back to that front pylon to that back corner well now it's going to be third down and goal from the nine trey sterling with a tackle behind the line of scrimmage oklahoma state's not going to let you run this football right there it's not going to happen you got to be proactive in anticipatory on second down you're more than likely going to get pressure here jim knowles is not going to let you sit back and hang on to the football you're thinking find your best matchup and it's got to be a route that breaks towards the sidelines blitz coming looking for the back left corner incomplete reece smith the intended receiver and here comes the field goal group that's the right play that's the right look that you want when you're playing zero pressure when you're seeing that those defenders are inside leverage and so you love to get something that breaks away bree smith just wasn't able to wiggle enough to separate 26 yards away for evan staley got it so west virginia off of the turnover able to get three and now it's a 10-point game late here in the third quarter and this season for every field goal an extra point made by participating universities allstate will make a contribution to the university's general scholarship fund thank you to allstate it's a really good job though again by that oklahoma state defense dealing with sudden change for the first time in the game one of the two teams gets into the red zone they stiffen and as you said they are loading up and not allowing the running room for letty brown who's not even averaging three yards of carry in the second half and he was averaging about five yards of carry in the first half well when you have probably four guys in your secondary they're gonna play in the nfl you feel pretty good about that like williams is going to play in the nfl mcallister is going to play in the nfl sterling's going to play in the nfl harvell peel is going to play in the nfl bernard carver converse might as well so like they got some guys back there that you feel confident in that's why jim knows will always say i'm going to go be aggressive but to your point just an outstanding job by that defense of not giving up that touchdown you really think that you think all five of those guys but they basically just need to be nickel all five of those guys are going to be broke here's the thing especially in the nfl right now because of the space usage and the kind the college game coming up there if you can cover and you can tackle in space which all these guys can you're going to get opportunity at the next level and everybody on that secondary cam that says a lot well we've got game six of the eastern conference finals between the celtics and heat tomorrow night at 7 30 eastern nba countdown gets our coverage started at 6 30 on espn espn deportes and the espn app i had no idea that i would enjoy watching these games in the bubble as much as i have i have watched so much of the nba bubble and there have been some incredible games how about tyler here i was going to say me if i had to tell you my game is most similar to one player in the bubble right now it's tyler heroes really yeah that's at least humble and it gets covered up by josh sills the left guard well the play is going to net a two-yard loss it looks like for oklahoma state but it could have been back-to-back giveaways great cut initially and then from the back that ball gets punched out and that's another fortunate break for oklahoma state offensively that stills is there the ex mountaineer himself to fall on that football jared bartlett punched it out second down and 12. that should take us to the end of the third quarter before second down and 12. so we head to the fourth with oklahoma state on top by tech we'll come back after this message and a word from our abc stations welcome back to espn college football presented by playstation 5. as we continue dr pepper's championship drive game of the week we head to the fourth quarter here in stillwater and then tonight ufc 253 back on fight island in abu dhabi with two title bouts undefeated israel adasanya will defend his middleweight belt against undefeated paolo costa and then dominic reyes and jan blehovic square off with a vacant light heavyweight title spinning away is l.b brown to start off the fourth quarter by the way you can order the main card in english and spanish at espn plus dot com slash ppv the prelims tonight start at 7 30 eastern on espn2 espn plus and espn deportes the main card on pay-per-view at 10 p.m third down and 10 for oklahoma state to begin the fourth quarter smoke screen tylen wallace he's been quiet today and he won't get to the first down line again so west virginia gets another defensive stop down by 10. product of the young quarterback you're backed up he comes off a series where he just throws that interception is third and ten the last thing you want to do is give west virginia a short field by another mistake so i don't hate that play call by this oklahoma state offense make west virginia in this fourth quarter go score 10 points to at least tie on this big time oklahoma state defense st field with a fair catch at his own 29-yard line bob credit to daki's attitude on the sidelines he has been nonstop talking to his receivers trying to stay positive while they're sitting down kind of in shock and it's something that the coaches have told us he's a guy who's in his leadership has learned when to press and learn when to whisper right now would be a time to press and he said you know that's kind of hard when you got 10 wide receivers who all want to touch the ball but he's continuously doing that since the start of the second half yeah kristen they even told us that over the last three weeks he's really made a ton of strides in that this is something where as a quarterback you got to know yourself and you got to know the people around you but at the end of the day if it's the most important thing for your team is you got to go jump on someone you got to go jump on them off play action so it will be second down and long obama got through and helped bring down jarrett dagi let's check in with kevin nagandi bob time now for a protection spotlight brought to you by allstate where take a look at a great touchdown play in baton rouge kj costello has had the protection all day and in his mississippi state debut it's nice to have kylan hale to the house 75 yards costello 432 so far in the air bulldogs up 27-24 well would that be some kind of a debut for mike leach my goodness swing pass letty brown could you imagine i was going to death valley and winning the first time you're standing on the mississippi state sideline i got some friends marcus spears ryan clark mcfarland my text message will be coming through quickly if that's the case here's what i want to see i want to watch monday morning get up and how many different cowbells can you ring on monday morning i'm not above being being over the top you will be absolutely relentless i'm sure third down and nine three-man rush dagi still out of the pocket has to throw another one off his back foot somehow squeezes it in and it looks like flags are coming out this might be a head shot on t.j simmons by oklahoma state will this be targeting was there in coverage i think they're both going for the football as it's floating in the air great job by dagi of hanging in there shifting sliding in that pocket ball gets put in harm's way there's no doubt about it but man it both looks like they are both going for the football personal foul face mass defense number 31 15 yard penalty in an automatic first down number one may remain in the game due to his helmet coming off due to a foul i'm okay with that call because it's that first of all that's obvious call i love the fact that they don't call targeting or anything like that it's 100 a face mask it's a bad break for harvell peel because he's going for the ball and just hangs on to the face mask but that's the penalty i love the way the officiate officials did that first and ten now midfield after the penalty you've got soft completions to your slots if you want them will run vaniga meets them at the line of scrimmage and brings them down aiming amiga last year led oklahoma state and tackles for loss and sacks and he is making impact plays right here watch his patience okay diggy's going to go through progression patience patience and watch him shoot off the left screen right there once dega commits to being a runner he goes and hunts that's really good zone discipline as a linebacker chris winston wright has been your guy all game sink field with a cutback inside the 40-yard line cruising for a west virginia first down that was a sick cutback by syncfield because trey sterling the safety had dropped down he's going to be right there he just did a great job of understanding okay you're setting i'm going to go backside did they not get set again trying to play with tempo officials time out for injury to a defensive player that's why neil brown was upset obama bemiga is hurt we'll step aside back at boone pickens stadium with our pacific life game summary on terms of total yards to 325-260 for west virginia over oklahoma state and yet they trail by 10. that's because they've given up some big plays they gave up a scoop and score and also that l.d brown 66-yard rushing touchdown bloom's large yeah many ways they've controlled the football game they have just in cliche football terms hurt themselves but they're still in this game first and ten balls at the 39-yard line driving blitz and there is the big play threat winston wright that's his fifth catch and that puts him up close to 120 yards receiving but there's the answer defensive coordinators hate when they bring pressure and you show them you have an answer because then it's a one one-on-one open field tackle great job by the receiver and quarterback being on the same page sink field big play coming now down by 10. just barely you would think inside field goal range third down and three for west virginia this is when i think west virginia's gotta help their receivers out a little bit you gotta anticipate man coverage so can you get some condensed splits can you get a guy running and use a rub or a pick to force these defenders to run through a bunch of traffic a long three closer to third down at four here comes the blitz there's another slab a first down to sam james i love it they free release the tailback meaning he's got no blocking responsibility watch 13 at the top freeze williams has got his eyes in the backfield and just that one step slant underneath you cleared out the linebackers beautiful play design by west virginia out nears in the red zone with 10 minutes to go down by two scores you see this empty look again they like what they're doing they're spreading this oklahoma state defense out you got great numbers timing left corner of the end zone hauled in by ford wheaton but out of bounds i like them getting to empty watch ford wheaton here go up great tracking of the football here's the only thing daggy give him a chance to come down in play with that ball that's a safety that always makes you sick as a quarterback when you get your receiver on a safety trust your guy to go make that play keep him in balance how much more dangerous or difficult would west virginia be to defend if jared dagy was in any way a quarterback draw threat oh yeah because you can spread them out and use it numbers-wise no matter how many numbers oklahoma state lacks in the box doesn't seem like he's ever a threat to run and now he might have taken a delay of game in the red zone unless they got a timeout i think they got to let the official go from setting the ball to get back [Music] delay game offense five yard penalty still second down the offense substituted late in the play clock and the defense had an opportunity to match up in the play clock so gamecock expired now there's no there's there's no set time limit as to how long the defense has to sub if you sub late in the play clock so if you hurt yourself because the defense has the right to substitute if you substitute offensively when there's not much time left on that play clock and again it is hauled in by winston wright and it sets up another big third down another great job of working those slot receivers i go up to the line of scrimmage and i try to get oklahoma state to declare themselves because if they're going to play coverage i'm going to try and pop around sinfield's done a really good job of using utilizing running i'd anticipate some zero pressure see all these bodies down near the line of scrimmage again try to find an outbreak incomplete sam james couldn't hold on he was well short of the line to gain by at least a couple of yards even if he did hold on so a field goal here makes it a one score game with 905 to go and that will be what neil brown is forced to do he'll take the three good job by rodarius williams there fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me that was the same play he had just gotten beat on on third down before good job driving on the football this time 30 yards and he knocks it right down the middle so we've got a one score game with 901 to go step aside for just a moment college football on abc is presented by playstation 5. play has no limits and in part by pacific life more than 150 years strong trust in your tomorrow well mike gundy told us it's been a long time coming for oklahoma state to have a ring of honor they have debuted it today and the first ever inductee thurman thomas and there are worse names that you could start a rig about her whip than an all-time legend thurman thomas so he will forever be at top moon picking stadium number 34 and by the way if these uniforms look familiar if you're nostalgic for some folks football they're wearing the same uniforms today as they wore back in the sun bowl all the way back with thurman thomas played in stillwater so this is an homage to thurman thomas and his induction today into their ring of honor these uniforms are sweet i mean if i was a player i'd be like can we wear these everywhere returnable from the goal line for braden johnson and he's out of bounds shot at the 20-yard line kevin nagandi five hours after oklahoma lost texas in some trouble against texas tech and lubbock sam ellinger he's picked off here by alex hogan hogan down the sidelines he would be stopped in the red zone and here comes sir roderick thompson tippy toeing down that left side 42-38 texas tech in the fourth quarter longhorns no driving back to you good games in the big 12 right now texas texas tech and oklahoma state west virginia west virginia has made this a one-possession game who's got it at the bottom of the pile it looks like another bailout possibly and a recovery by an offensive lineman for oklahoma state way maze big number 99 and golden blue is trying to make a case that his guys got it underneath but that's another recovery covered by the offense second down jenkins comes up with the recovery from the back again the effort by west virginia's defense we talked about this before something just doesn't look right with chuba hubbard and i think it's fair right now from mike gundy and casey dunn to turn to l.d brown and rely on him for the rest of this game looks like that's what they're going to do at least for the time being now it's a slant intended for tylen wallace looks like a flag came out on third down and nine past interference defense number 11. first down at the spot of the foul it's the right call and the thing is fortune didn't need to do it he's in perfect position he's inside tyler and wallace tylen wallace is running an inbreaking route just stained your ground it's right there no need to drive on the football there and get there before it get before the ball gets there you're in position you know west virginia is going to continue to dare oklahoma state to throw the football with the numbers down in the box junior college transfer desmond jackson comes off the bench and gets an opportunity surprising that machuba hubbard coughing it up and heading to the sideline they don't go back to l.d brown and wonder if l.d brown is maybe shaken up because this is try and grind it out and win the game time potentially for oklahoma state you're going with a junior college transfer that hasn't played yet today and this is very difficult for a play caller now right you just mentioned junior college transfer back and your true freshman quarterback in his first start quarterback run hillingworth that looked like a broken play still came up about two yards shy of a first down how about that decision though that's a big time decision by the young man you go out and you call quick game and quarterbacks think okay this is just an easy throw i'm gonna throw it out there and it's not there don't take a bad play and make it worse instinctually just tuck that ball and go get his positive yards now you've given yourselves a chance on third down love that decision if i'm west virginia i'm thinking okay here comes run game i'm gonna play some man coverage on the outside and we're gonna go stop this run and now they've got ld brown in the game and they'll give it to him and he will get the first step so it turns out l.d brown not only is okay to get back in the game but moves the chains in a very important moment for oklahoma state just great patience just great patience behind his two tight ends logan carter and jelani woods delayed handoff and brown picks up two yards this is something that always infuriates me yeah about high tempo in the game and why do you want to snap the ball with 20 25 seconds on the playground when you're winning with six and a half minutes to go now here they are back at the line when will they snap the ball 18 seconds on the play clock and a wide receiver screen to tay martin and he's hit behind the line and brought down by alonzo adai you're saving time for west virginia you are extending the game for them and just maximizing how much more clock they will have if you have to give them the football back yeah you've left probably another 40 seconds on this clock you shouldn't be snapping this ball to likely around five minutes if you were running the clock correctly three-man rush hillingworth under pressure look at the athleticism first of all go up and make the catch and then get that left foot down by toddling wallace you want to know one of the reasons why he's a balitnikov award finalist that's pure outstanding wide receiver play there not only the catch but he felt the quarterback scramble break the pocket breaks off his right hand he gets to the sidelines a catch what part of this play would they feel like they would need to review unless they think wallace didn't control the football all the way to the ground we'll find out when we come back it's one of the best rivalry games in all of college football and it happens tonight saturday night football with the eric king and number 12 um taking on fsu at hard rock stadium 7 30 eastern the keynes and the knolls on abc and the espn app after what was thankfully a very quick and obvious replay confirmation of the call on the field oklahoma state has gone back to desmond jackson his first opportunity to play today with five minutes to go in the game trying to kill the clock if they can but inexplicably he is set to go again from the 38-yard line with the play clock this time winding down they heard us yep they are going to let the clock bleed a little bit quick game right about at the first down marker to tylenol a yard shot so here's a huge play now third down and one with four and a half to go just a big fan of tylan wallace's game i love his character i love his route running i love his hands i love his competitiveness you know listen i don't normally i go let's go quarterback sneak but with the stills brothers on the inside i don't love that i think something off the left side of your offensive line your right side is super young if you're oklahoma state let's go off the left side follow some of our tight ends and see if we can go get a first down the junior college transfer jackson gets the first down so given an opportunity rather than ld brown and then chuba hubbard who's fumbled a couple of times jackson moves the sticks take advantage of his opportunity there's a little crease there your job is to go north and south downhill don't dance good job by him just going to get those three necessary yards and now chuba hubbard is back in the game with 3 40 to go 11th play of the drive and hubbard secures the football and oklahoma state only had two first downs in the second half before this drive they have four first downs on this drive trying to milk the clock down predominantly been run game as well they've they've kind of relied on this offensive line they had the huge third down conversion from illinois to tylan wallace but they've decided to kind of okay offensive line this is when we need you guys to finish this football game now west virginia you're playing with too high safety still at some point here you're gonna have to go sell out a little bit and roll some dice because they're already in field goal range you can't play two high safeties anymore here comes the blitz and picks up a yard well this is probably the game here for west virginia they only have two timeouts remember they spent the time out earlier this half coming out of a break when the clock was stopped because they just couldn't get a communication of a a play in for the sideline after the interception that tony feels secure this should 100 be a run play you you run the football here force west virginia to take a timeout and then you trot your field goal kicker on and try to take this ten point lead with under two minutes left no need to throw the football here did west virginia jump or was a time-out called a flag is down [Applause] false start offense number four five yard penalty still third down the clock will start on the snap mike gundy he didn't see the false start you can read his lips he's saying what happened so now instead of third down and four it's third down and nine that also moves the ball back to the 30-yard line so right here you're looking at about a 47 or a 48-yard field goal that extra five yards could mean a lot if you're trying to ice the game with a kick if you don't pick up this first down that's a big five yards in many ways yeah i mean i just said previously i'm 100 running the football i think your quarterback has proven to you this game that you can trust him to make a good decision here and throw the ball draw play and it's a first down and more l.d brown that's a bad defensive breakdown for west virginia watch this offensive line there comes pressure off the right edge great job by l.d brown being patient then setting up that block by schneider and then you see that vertical burst again algae brown has been impressive this afternoon really good play call they spread out west virginia defensively and left him one-on-one that's center on that backer and allow your back to choose a side field goal is as good as a touchdown here if your oklahoma state makes it a two score game and so you'd have to think they will simply be setting up for that but that time they may have gotten a timeout called from the sideline because the play clock was winding all the way down so oklahoma state to avoid a delayed game calls timeout [Applause] oklahoma state is called their first time in the half 126 to go in the fourth quarter still one kevin gundy in studios so much history so many close games in the rivalry manny diaz in miami looking for its fourth straight win against florida state that's coming up prime time on abc tonight back to bob dan and chris kevin it is never a bad night of football when you're watching the canes in the knolls what will happen in the last minute 27 here how about a snap and covering it up is hillingworth and now west virginia has to call timeout well that's a gift as oklahoma state loses about 10 second time out of the yards 30 seconds in late [Applause] oklahoma state just pushing their fans buttons right now just making it as interesting as possible with a couple of these fumbles balls on the ground well west virginia oklahoma state runs their second down play however long it takes six or seven seconds you can call your final timeout right and get it down to maybe minute 18 minutes 17 somewhere in that range 40 seconds on the play clock west virginia is going to force oklahoma stage to do something on fourth down here right so this should be two straight runs the big thing you tell your your ball carriers are and i like these going towards the sidelines because you can burn another couple extra seconds one you do not go out of bounds two you cross cover the football meaning you cover it with both arms side to side three you do not score a touchdown if you get down to the one yard line you just go down there's no a score it is not beneficial to us right now so those are the big three things and it was if you're oklahoma state you also are prepared to just allow the clock to bleed out on third down and call a timeout before your field goal chuba hubbard has fumbled a couple of times he is back in the game if west virginia can get a stop right in this neighborhood yeah this is not a chip shot field goal the big thing for a play caller is you want to get it on the hash that your kicker wants is he a right hash or left hash kicker here's hubbard up the middle again [Applause] for the minute 17 to go it's a two possession game again beautiful cut back by chuba ones to the left the jumps cut and then back across to the right he's obviously playing fantasy football and decides to get that touchdown for all the well people who took him regardless of that decision at that point for oklahoma state you're probably winning the game you're up two scores now but if he lays down at the one-yard line then west virginia may never touch the ball again right and now west virginia with a minute 17 to go now look they've got one timeout they need two touchdowns but they are going to get the ball back i mean listen it's easy for me to be up here and say don't go score but at the end of the day the only way west virginia has any chance in this game albeit minimal is this if they get the ball back and this is college football crazy things can absolutely happen especially on a kick return if we had our espn analytics crew with us right now they would probably say that if chuba hubbard lays down at the one yard line west virginia is probably like .05 percent to win the game another point now they're 0.07 regardless of whether or not he chooses to score there it is going to take an absolute miracle for west virginia one way or the other but they are about to get their hands on the football with a timeout in a minute 17 to go but they need two scores and they want to probably start this with a return you know take a knee and bring it out to the 25-yard line and this will most likely be one of those film sessions if you're a mountaineer where there is going to be a lot of what might have been they've got 356 total yards oklahoma state has 340. and yet they've only got 13 points on the board down by two touchdowns that just goes to show you how many different factors in a game can result in that final score outside of the number of yards you put up a lot of times games like this you know they make you sick to your stomach but at the same time you look at them with the glass half full you go okay are these things we can clean up and if you do no you've got a chance offside defense number 94 entered the neutral zone causing the offense to move five yard penalty still first down i think for jared daggy you know that the reality is you're gonna have to put the ball in harm's way here a little bit little dink and dunks and check downs they won't do anything for your offense the ball's got to go down the field son and a drop on the crossing route by winston wright and you shouldn't be even really running crossers they don't do anything for your offense the ball has got to be big ends 20 yards downfield there's got to be steam balls you've got to throw some hole shots or go routes on the outside you've got to find a way to get a big chunk early in your downs yeah those crossing routes were very effective when oklahoma state was bringing zero blitzes they're not bringing zero blitzes up by two touchdowns with a minute 15 to go they're gonna be sitting back in coverage there's a little pick play to tj simmons and that's good for a first down the big thing for the quarterback here is those those those short completions just throw the ball in the dirt save time save time continue to give yourself snaps a check down in the field of play for six yards and they're gonna be forced i think to spend their time out here oh there's a flag receiver downfield offense number 68 five yard penalty free play first down [Music] wow they just can't hold their water and west virginia looks like we'll be again called for an offensive foul here with 57 seconds to go i think it's offsides upside defense number one unabated to the quarterback five yard penalty still first down the clock will start on the snap i missed the tablet was declined by west virginia rush goes down [Applause] that's why some of those offsides are i mean these pass rushers just have a complete jump right now in the clap knock down on the checkdown attempt trace ford batted it down so now it's third down at 15. so oklahoma state is going to beat west virginia for the sixth consecutive time and they're going to have two wins but probably if you're mike gundy you're not going to feel tremendous about how your team has played in either of the two games that you have won they really struggled against tulsa and today they gave west virginia a lot of opportunities to stay in this game but that will be the exclamation point calvin bundage gets the sack and will the mountaineers even snap it again and put dagi in harm's way down to five seconds to go and that will most likely end the game and it will so oklahoma state with a 27-13 win over west virginia and the big 12 opener for both of these two teams for dan arlovski and chris button i'm bob schusser we'll say good night from stillwater it's time for the college football scoreboard back to the studio and here's kevin nagandi
