YOUNG, HE'S THE GUY THEY LIKE TO GET THE BALL TO. GET DOWN CLOSE. HERE COMES THE BIG ONE. ZIAIRE ANDREWS, GUY COACH TOLD US HE HAS TO HAVE A BIG GAME. HE COMES UP WITH A BIG RUN TO ANSWER THAT TOUCHDOWN. GET IRWIN COUNTY INTO THE END ZONE. THEY MAKE THEIR POINT AFTER. THEY COULD BE BIG LATER ON. YOUNG NUMBER 3, IN FOR THE SECOND TOUCHDOWN MISSED EXTRA POINTS. LET'S SEE IF THEY GET THEM IN THE SECOND HALF, TOMMY. >> A LOOK AT FIRST HALF STATS. TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE. >> SEE THE YARDS, NOT MUCH OF THE PASSING YARDS. TEN YARDS PASSING FOR EITHER TEAM. EVENLY MATCHED. PENALTIES FOR IRWIN LATE OVER THE FIRST DOWN. A TURNOVER. THAT STOPPED THE SCORING THREAT. THE INTERCEPTION BY JERVONTA JOHNSON INSIDE THE RED ZONE, A BIG OPPORTUNITY. >> THE THING THAT THEY WANTED TO AVOID WAS THAT BLOCKED PUNT. THAT STUNG THEM PRETTY GOOD. CAME BACK WITH 93-YARD RUN, THAT GOT THEM BACK INTO BUSINESS. READY TO PLAY THE SECOND HALF. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE SECOND HALF, FOLKS. WE'RE OFF WITH THE SECOND HALF OF ACTION. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL SEE AN AERIAL SHOW BUT WE'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH RUNNING.

YOU'RE IN A DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE. FIRST TIME ALL SEASON YOU PLAYED WITH A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD. GET USED TO ALL OF THAT. THEN YOU GET DOWN AND JUST LIKE THE COACHES SAY, IT'S STILL 100 YARDS, STILL PLAYING FOOTBALL. HERE'S ANOTHER KICK. >> PETTIS, KICK IT OFF. AND DOWN TO THE 15. BACK UP TO THE 31-YARD LINE. >> CHARLES McCLELLAND RUNNING BACK THE KICK. >> THAT'S NOT UNUSUAL. McCLELLAND, YOUNG.

IF YOU WILL TAKE A LOOK AT IT. >> WORKED THAT ARM. >> LOOK AT IT. >> THE RIGHT SHOULDER A LITTLE SORE AFTER THAT. PROBABLY WAS, TRYING TO DEFEND HIMSELF A LITTLE BIT AND REAPS UP AND GETS A HANDFUL OF THE FACE MASK. >> A HANDFUL OF HELMET RIGHT IN THE SHOULDER BEFORE HE PULLED IT DOWN TO RIGHT THERE. >> HE'S BEEN FLEXING THAT ARM EVER SINCE THAT PLAY. >> CLINCH ON THE MARCH AGAIN.

COACH DICKERSON WANTS TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAS EVERYTHING RIGHT.

YOU OUGHT TO SEE THE TWO GUYS WHO DOUBLE TEAMED HIM. IT WAS ABOUT 450 POUNDS. >> AGAINST 170. THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THERE. >> YOUNG -- LOOK, BOUNCED OFF THE BACK SIDE OF THE CENTER. BOUNCED OFF HIM. WENT FOR YARDS. >> DEFINITELY DID. CLINCH ON THE MOVE HERE. >> REMEMBER, WHEN THEY PLAYED IN THE REGULAR SEASON, THE YARDAGE, BOTH TEAMS RAN UP A LOT OF YARDS IN THE GAME. IRWIN HAD 354 TOTAL YARDS. CLINCH HAD 254 TOTAL YARDS. IN THAT GAME THEY PLAYED. LIKE WE SAID, WAY BACK IN SEPTEMBER. >> THAT WAS ALMOST A YEAR AGO, WASN'T IT? >> IT SEEMS LIKE IT. >> FOOTBALL SEASON IN GEORGIA. >> FOOTBALL SEASON. >> ALL RIGHT. CLINCH, DOWN AT THE 5.

AND THAT WAS A METHODICAL DRIVE. >> WHAT A WAY TO COME OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM TO START THE SECOND HALF. >> THERE'S YOUR TOUCHDOWN. >> BUT THE WOES CONTINUE ON THE POINT AFTER. IT'S IN THE AIR. TWO-POINT CONVERSIONS HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. THEY JUST DROPPED THAT ONE. >> YEAH. HAD EVERYTHING GOING, STUDENT BODY LEFT ON THE REVERSE. AND DROPPED IT OFF THE HIT. SEVEN PLAYS, 68 YARDS, 2:12. CLINCH IS UP 18-7. IRWIN COUNTY'S GOT TO GET IT GOING HERE TO KEEP PACE. >> A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE GAME EARLIER IN THE YEAR WHEN THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE LEAD AND COME OUT AND GOT THE OFFSIDEKICK ON CLINCH THAT HELPED PUT THEM UP AND GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY. SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY GET THE BALL. OF COURSE ANOTHER STRONG DOSE OF DJ POLLARD. WE'LL SEE. HE WAS BIG IN THAT GAME. >> WHEN YOU LEFT NUMBER 7 HAD AS MUCH RESPONSIBILITY, HE HAS TO BE AN EXCEPTIONAL FRESHMAN. THIS GUY'S GOING TO KICK THE BALL OFF NOW. MARSHALL'S GOING TO KICK IT AWAY TO IRWIN COUNTY. THEY'VE GOT ALL OF THE GOOD HANDS PEOPLE RIGHT THERE. ARE WE GOING TO SEE ONSIDE HERE? >> NO. HE LEANED INTO THAT ONE. >> DRIVING KICK.
