Florida A&M vs. Bethune-Cookman -- Football (2019)

about tradition but really it's about who is better some rivalries are superficial but for Florida a in it epitome could be this one goes to the phone spans generations dating back to 1925 making it Florida's oldest college football rivalry but we know the game extends beyond the game clock it is those sacred moments at halftime the countless hours of tailgating and trash talking and the 364 days of pure bragging rights don't like to see walk with a bethune-cookman Wildcats in to Camping World Stadium as they go head to head with the 13th ranked Florida A&M Rattlers hassey it's about to go down folks for the 40th annual Florida classic as we welcome you to ESPN college football presented by McDonald's this is the end of the season for both teams as J Walker and Tiffany green here with you and we know that this has such great significance it's not only in-state rivalry but it's also to maybe see who has the in-state bragging rights for the next 365 days bragging rights are there in abundance in this game it always has meant something special to these two teams down here Florida however this year it takes on added importance I think for Florida A&M they call it the millennium 2.0 well we'll lynnium 1.0 was pretty good but they did not finish the job a season ago getting eliminated from postseason play this year they have an opportunity to possibly become the HBCU national champions they're the number one team in HBCU football right now but Bethune Cookman head coach Terry Sims he could care less about that but those Cookman is trying to right their ship in the right direction not too long ago they were cruising with the six in one record and control their own destiny however they come into this game with a three-game losing streak knocking off Florida in can help Ford erase all of that - well the Rattlers have the number one passing attack in the MEAC led by their signal caller 5th year senior Ryan Stanley Bryan Stanley strength is his ability to distribute the football - the strength of his office which is the wide receiver core they've got a thousand yard wide receiver Ryan Stanley's done a lot of great things he has to play within the system and continue to make smart decisions with the football in order for the Rattlers to have a chance at winning this game campy was all time career leading picture in yards on the other side you have a key vyas Williams who has not lost in the sport classic they have been a little bit of a disappointing season statistically for Williams but Williams has to play big today his threat his strength is his ability to run the football he's the fastest guy on the football field from the quarterback position that's scary if he can put together the right combination of running and throwing this Wildcat offense can put up some numbers today to learn more about these seasoned quarterbacks we send it down to the third member of our team Larisa Harris well Tiffany just like you said these guys year seniors but we have to remember and 2016 that's when they first experience the flora classic as retro freshmen will I spoke to both of them and they told me that finishing was their primary focus today for T vs Williams it's about not losing to the Rattlers because he's never done that on the other side for Stanley it's about defeating the Wildcats if he wants to be considered the best quarterback and it's also about not reliving the experience last year well I'll tell you larysa that but Phil Kirkman has owned this series for most of this decade winning in a row they're coming in feeling confident that they can pull off win number nine in this Florida classic against the Rattlers and the guy to help them get there as we mentioned a key via sweetums he can beat you in a number of ways but really with his feet that's that balance he needs to throw for two touchdowns and a run for touchdown or two today for the Wildcats that have a chance so they start inside their own 25 on the first throw to the outside it was Troy Hilton on the coverage the intended target was number one Jimmy Robinson they're going to force the ball to Jimmy walk to Jimmy Roberts and if they can you have to be encouraged by Lord Amen when you talk to head coach Willie Simmons what's the difference from last year to this year our secondaries gotten so much better linebackers are the same but in the secondary those guys have really stepped up to the challenge [Music] 14 seniors for Florida am on second down the carry the head and the ball carrier wrapped up near the 30-yard line as Isaac Washington with a gain of about five give it an opportunity this is when Williams a quarterback has to make this right decision if you give something to your priest that read where you can find a receiver with some cushion take it if it's not there look for a running Lane and pick up four yards to get the first back third and four from the Wildcats 30 and there was to throw that icky vyas Williams was looking for an ax penalty marker on the field [Music] office number 70 ba-gawk penalty thank you're gonna see that's number 70 Javad camp de Lobos moving a little bit early and it's things like that they've really hurt this football team you're in a football game early you can't control third for me because they show a little bit of pressure you jumped offsides an offensive lineman gotta get those jitters out of the way Jake you mentioned that bethune-cookman started the season strong for knowing the MEAC and since then they've dropped three straight here on third down once again the pass is outcome just short of the marker believed by the government look at that now they're gonna go for that second effort given to that's a rivalry right so you make the catch in the flat you're three yards short you see two morons helmets coming up you gotta get through them to get the first down Lord his helmet and picked up the first down good job basic Washington good for nine and its first intend Williams throwing the ball again this time across the middle and the pass complete to step on Francois the redshirt sophomore out of Miramar Florida that was good for 11 so move the chains again and I really like it because one a net has been blitzing off the edge if you can complete the ball burst the Blitz they're gonna stop doing that their challenge have been through Cooper they're saying yes you've been able to complete the ball gets on blitz but they are continuing to bring the pressure Terry Jefferson is coming in every time number one cover on that right side trying to get to the backfield call some disruption to know that if you want to bake them into it and hit more big play [Applause] started off as bethune-cookman career as a backup quarterback and then moved out to wide receiver you see the tape down the middle on the helmet those companies known for their stylish uniforms and you look at this season that the third Cookman has had they were predicted to finish second in the MEAC and again they lived up to those expectations for the first four weeks of conference play but since that time they have tailed off Jimmy Robinson though always threatened for Terry Sims Jimmy Robinson you get them in space watch out Robinson and that what your fine player who is a show time any time he touches the ball he's gonna probably pick up some positive yards good four five there that can hurt you in special teams and this shit's really involved as a receiver you see the numbers ere 12 yards a catch and he's a bark man but a lot of times they throw him the ball behind the line of scrimmage if he brushes forward so him averaging 12 yards a carry lets you know he's really doing it himself third and short for the Wildcats nice play of this Drive coming up Williams looks to the outside and once again completing the pass it was Riley once more then the continue with that same look what's in the safety from the outside great job you're gonna see if they're trying to they're gonna bring pressure from here and they're gonna bring it from here they're not let him get a couple there he recognizes it get rid of the football that was a previous play there with Williams but if you can continue to pick a park like that Florida names gonna have to make the defensive adjustment and you have to think if you're a wildcat fan where was this offense last weekend against a NT you have to get on the board but continuing to march down the field on the carriers Ladera and wilson so the third different running back we've seen in the backfield for the Wildcats and they're continuing to pick a positive yards the impressive start to the football game the field Cookman offensively then we averaged 23 points a game and this is a team that normally Stanford almost 30 31 points one of the top offenses in the conference has been this year but again they're getting the ball they're opening possession and then parks it down the field Bethune Cookman has won eight MEAC titles a water stretch of four since 2010 Williams on this Drive six of seven for 41 yards the hand [Applause] but they figured it out I am so eager barking pressure the banks up that they found a crease going up tackle opposite side from where the Blitz is coming from great recognition by this Wildcat the rattler defense its first and goal for bethune-cookman the pressure [Applause] right there but you saw the pressure coming up from the middle by the Rattlers they brought pressure but as you mentioned wide open receiver if he had stepped into this throat this is the touchdown they're bringing the pressure to try and hit the quarterback when he misses the open receiver I thought they should have been involved signs on Florida ever possibly a free play [Applause] Williams and the Wildcats put to the sideline they get the signal [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] checking it but he's worked up with nowhere to go portes read the true freshman along with Derrick Mayweather on the stop this is where I'm kind of questioned but through Cookman change what got him down here on the field they went to a two tiny information' trying to muscle floridated off the ball they were able to move the ball but haven't put the ball or the Kiva's williams had run it off tackle not using the to tighten formation williams checking out and Marcus Riley who we mentioned starting his career as the backup quarterback is gonna look easy now he's a white receiver now motley gives himself Butthead just near the five-yard line stopped again by read and that'll bring up fourth down that what a great job by de montreuil more number 93 the defense attack two plays in a row he's won his battle recognize the play forced the quarterback to change directions from his nose tackle position good child by the senior from Tampa Florida TBS Williams trying back over to the field fourth and goal for Bethune Cookman and they're deciding to go for it on the reverse y'all like the fact that they finally spread them out down here in the red zone Williams you gotta watch out for him he holds on to her try to look for man the pusher coming he stopped coming out after the play was Cameron Burton who was giving chase to Williams [Applause] wory Bernard and this MEAC officiating crew will have a chance to talk it over we saw Williams had nowhere to go and he was heading for out of bounds and then the flag came out afterwards yep on the fourth down though they're same as after work so that means Florida it may maintain possession and then you penalize them after the play lets us have arrived it becomes an automatic first down and you keep possession but I thought the flag came in well after the put the technically after fourth down they become for an A&M football if it's against the Rattlers the result of the play is the runner was short of the line the game after the play personal defense number 15 listen to the goal it will be first to that person's head Alijah Richard Simmons the one who is the guilty party but the defense from Florida mm holes though how cats it saw his team come up short as the score still remains zero bit playing right here to pursue yard-line bringing pressure from bethune-cookman Florida and better expected looking to get the endzone able to get it away but no flags marques Hendricks coming in no no this should be intentional grounded because he gave the ball away as a runner you're no longer the quarterback he gets outside the pocket but he gets the ball foot back to him so that's the part they they sensed it they were aggressive a very aggressive call flea-flicker back to the quarterback saying he's outside the pocket [Music] second and ten so the Rattlers have to keep their eyes up as Bethune Cookman looking to pin their ears back and go after Florida am the handoff up the middle and someone gotta lay it on like that that was tied arias Peters who was delivering the blow and then some whistles good and you know Jane there's gonna be some he's the guy that brings that tough for them so you think you see a crease if he's coming down hill he's in the pitas very aggressive hitter the senior from Mississippi delivers a big blow bishop Barnett picked up four it's third and six to go be a big stop with the food cook we can force a pup in this situation to get the bar back to their offense [Applause] Oh Vince couldn't get the ball here fit get it done in the end zone defense says get out the way let us jump on the bar Bethune Cookman defensively not only getting the three now but getting the next six together team to leave Xavier MacDonald on to attempt the extra point and a flag comes out before the ball is snapped to the delay of game offense five-yard penalty we played the chalk I hate that one there but that's a rivalry put me right there you excited you get to pick six all the officials don't care they're gonna start that 25 second clock and now they make the extra point a little bit further back five yards back let's see if they can convert and it's Jonathan Thomas who's on to attempt the extra point the junior wideout [Applause] put the Thune Cookman it's up and it barely gets through he's got just enough loads excited about that to the point they knew that was 50/50 the pick-6 for 23 yards and bethune-cookman it's early [Music] ESPN college football is presented by McDonald's [Music] this is a rivalry that dates back to 1925 between in-state rivals Florida A&M and Bethune Cookman I love those throwback photos but in the present day it's been all through hooping they have won eight straight and they had the early lead over 13th ranked Florida A&M Ryan Stanley and this senior class looking for a perfect season in the MEAC but more importantly they're trying to notch their first win in nine years against the Wildcats and Willie Simmons in his second season as head coach says look this version this year's version of the Rattlers and that's how he's trying to play into the psyche of his players to get them ready for today I was trying to figure that out like what do you think you never lost in a wrap when he saying hey no we're the new mean this is millennia of 2.0 2.0 is zero and zero gets the fool Cookman trying to start fresh and right that is going to be this quarterback to have a short memory off of that pick six the squib kick mishandle and then just fell apart by the rat let's go back to that interception though territory this is how you play the safety position Trevor managed right here I don't have much to draw for the watch him watch the quarterback I've been watching you watching me he's looking he's looking he's looking oh you did gonna throw the ball over here you don't see me looking dead in your grill it makes the interceptions better stop the run that's how you play the safety position nothing gets behind you and the quarterbacks eyes in many cases will take you where he's gonna throw the football Ryan Stanley who we've mentioned has had a tremendous career the best passer to ever wear a Florida A&M uniform yes [Music] with pressure and this has to get rid of it but all-time leading passer in yards attempts I think when you talk to a lot of the legends that I have to see Quinn green last night as well who loose Emma senses he leads in the tips he's only my four-year starter they've had in the passing era so his success has done a great job went into football games throwing up some numbers but he's going to be judged like Larissa said earlier if he can win this game this is your legacy game of your right Stan Stanley swinging it out to Bishop bottom bottom you're still on this became out of the backfield and the redshirt junior with a good game brings up third down the zone cook the defensive line playing a little bit quicker than we've seen him play all season long Norma they're loaded with team speed but they've been neutralized cyber woman this football season but now we're really starting to see some get off on the ball and the Florida A&M coaches are well aware of that watch number 19 Florida and bottom of your screen if they give him in a one-on-one battle that's Xavier Smith the dynamic receiver going back the other way his Y and Stanley and the pass is caught by Marcus Williams another dangerous target for this rattler office this is a great job of going back to get this football you see a watch and reach back on the opposite side from the defender bring the ball into his chest Williams a fifth year senior knows what's at stake that game-winning catch against North Carolina in overtime a few weeks back [Music] [Applause] the carryin up the middle spun around and finally dragged down bonnet saw Marquis Hendrix and a number of maroon jerseys as we'll send it down to Larissa with more well when we spoke to head coach Willie Simmons earlier this week he told me that Bishop bonnet was one person that a lot of people would consider a sleeper and he really wants him to have a great game today why because he can help open the office because he's explosive he was injured a little bit now he's back healthy and he's hitting his stride and we've seen him hit his stride in the past few weeks so Bishop bonnet is one but the Wildcats need to watch out for today every passing game needs a running back if you've got a running back it opens it up for the passing game so Willie Simmons knows that if we define good body going drone lanes are going to be that much better for right Stanly second and having to heave it abounds the pressure continuing to come up front from the Wildcats and Marcus Ford getting a good push and Marcus for came in preseason all-conference but we saw we've seen between several times this year many times we didn't call his name but they were starting to see his final football game is a rock showing some get off on the ball see if he can continue to be a force to this football game for the walk when you watch Ford on the field encounter him face-to-face you don't man among boys yes yeah that's grown man with grown man strength Stanley so far two four five and yet to get going the trusted zip it down the middle and the pass complete across midfield and the Rattlers keep marching when it's a big time throw by Ryan Stanley watch how quickly he gets rid of this football as soon as the receiver comes out to break it's all you've got to see it recognize that Stanley no a lot of pressure and Bishop bonnet with the caring lorisha talked about just how he's starting to come on very quick and explosive type of bat also very strong 600 pounds quarter second and four quick step Stanley just throws it over the head of a zip and now a marker is out Trevor Merritt was on the coverage [Applause] [Music] [Applause] holding defense number 20 ten-yard penalty from the previous spot automatic they bailed them out with the holding call because the bar was clearly uncatchable how that rep it's a holding it's a holding they say right they're grabbing them around the waist [Applause] call for the holding and this flora in the first day of getting close to the red zone remember Trevor Maher and responsible the only points of this game with this pick six on that last rattler drive zipping it in there once again this time complete to David Mann ago manner go all the way you keep going to hear a whistle and the redshirt freshman from Decatur just kept going 17 yards he was he was spun around but let's take a look to see he's down elbows down [Applause] with the contact they're gonna review this that's a good job you're playing football your mana go you're supposed to go to you hear the whistle quickly as they review it for 25 remaining in the first board [Applause] the ruling on the field wasn't the touchdown turned the review they saw man ago was down so first in tandem [Applause] so what is the review for the wrestlers to get back into the endzone and he was wide open in the back of the endzone Bryan Stanley Rosa bullet Marcus Williams another big catch in his career Florida A&M get the Rattlers on the scoreboard you hear Ali on to attempt the extra point [Applause] able to get it through this game is tired early back to that 12 yard touchdown catch from Marcus Williams watch right stand we take a look and you always know the quarterback you've got a backpack that runs the end of the goal line we call back to you Joe wrap is always going to be a Crouch across the guy you kind of tell your quarterback throw it up towards the goalpost where he's the only one that can catch it he was so wide open to find a nice pass away and deliver the strike you know this game it means a whole lot to Ryan and you have to like the response your season of your fifth year senior after giving six points over to Bethune Cookman you come right back and answer he had to and that's the key at the short memory we took me to gate like this but that's his personnel he's not gonna salt ball he's more of a free spirit type quarterback there what's his nickname they call America you know but you gotta rebound it nicely we got ourselves a football game here early here comes Jimmy Robinson low back to receive the kit for Bethune Cookman it's one of the duties to Robinson because fantastic speed and you [Applause] but you're going back to that 50-yard line you see [Music] and look back there was a double-team block and lockers flip somebody remember it was unfortunate that the dignity you leave a block in the back return team number 19 first there so after a fantastic return from Jimmy Robinson instead of being in the red zone or near it Terry Sims team will start from the 30-yard line in their own territory and that's a tough break because when I saw the penalty flag go I thought he was setting him up right there there were two guys that were there on him and they got the first line there a little bit too soon so awful we see a guy make it lock in the back when he didn't answer Jimmy Roberts and an already sized up the would-be tackler was gonna make a move bad play for the food cook them would have been 85 yards but a key vyas Williams trying to get moving marquise Bell drags him down a short gain [Applause] and Williams is gonna need to turn on the Jets in this game it's been a while since we've seen him use that 4.3 speed then this time football game where you've got a defense it has a lot of speed on in Florida A&M you're supposed to prove here the fastest guy on the field excited Jimmy Robinson well Williams has come back so strong after going down with a season-ending knee injury a year ago still got the Jets in them we'll see if he'll bring the matter Williams looking deep and overthrows everybody its third down [Applause] and what I'm curious about or we're gonna follow this I want to see how many targets they give Jimmy Robinson you just saw what he could do on special teams I know that Terry Sims a head coach said we need to design plays for him now he's coming in the game if you can wait why would you call the pass and play without your best player on the field that's something that does not please come Sims and he said we're gonna work on that and if you don't have touches by the first corner I'm gonna call plays Williams and the black get to the tail Powell and Terrell Powell with a nice pickup good for nine and another first down for Bethune Cookman the six-foot porec wide receiver from Deerfield Beach Florida Jimmy Robinson on the perimeter picks up the first down when the Wildcats desperately needed it do you like already what you're seeing from offensive coordinator coordinator super giving more full Williams to handle putting more trust in his fifth year senior like is something I just think that I need more Jimmy you know like that don't skid on seven I live I need more cowbell that I need more Jimmy Jimmy should be in the game he's a senior it's his last Florida classic Florida A&M proved that they can tackle Jimmy Robertson first then the Kiva's Williams second way Sean bird in the backfield the cousin to Jimmy Robinson who also can flash off some Florida speed as well that's one thing that you come to know and expect from the Sunshine State Williams going forward and step on Francois may have got a hand on it but overthrown as Cortez Reid was on the coverage that was a nice route this that's kind of been the story of the Cubist Williams this year you know opportunity there to make some big plays but hasn't quite been able to finish off the big play with a little bit better throw play their football up in this game but he's going to need to complete some passes like that four wide receivers set Jimmy Robinson to the bottom of your screen on third and seven hands with time and just missed by ears - Marcus Riley its fourth down need to complete that pass keep protection up front a little bit of pressure but as a quarterback complete the ball this is Jimmy Robinson on the bottom double cover look at they've got two jerseys on the bottom finding him you complete that pass he can turn make one defender miss pick up the first down but he's Williams a little bit confused by the coverage of the secondary but to your point everyone is well aware of the showstopper Jimmy Robinson and you see the respect that Florida A&M is giving to number one in the world right scoured our two-part for bethune-cookman as in day ray back to receive it and the whistles come in late game practices head delay of game office five yard penalty for cap and you can't have that I see what Terry said is upset it's a seven seven ballgame could come down to a battle of field position in this first half you can't afford to give up five yards or get some offense like Ford al [Applause] rain standing near zone I think it was blocked it was partially blocked by Florida a.m. and it still takes he's somewhat favorable bounce for bethune-cookman [Applause] special teams for Florida am getting a hand on it they'll have decent field position when we return [Music] [Applause] hey Justin heartburn and the number six organ ducks look to keep their college football playoff hopes alive against her networks and the Sun Devils out in Tempe the Ducks have won 7:30 Eastern on ABC and the ESPN every organ game takes on additive porks now think with Alabama if I want to see how they're gonna play without to it I'll look at that hey Jim when you see that what do you think that that's the mascot venom venom I like Vin what you know about dinner well you know I used to Don that costume for Florida in orange and green and I used to be [Laughter] it was for football it wasn't that uniform [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] this is how you do it you keep your arm free one hand see the ball in Savior Smith isn't it a secret just receiving on the year he's been the breakout player for them and guess what he was a walk-on let him get away from nearby Haines City in Central Florida Bishop bonnet on the carry on first down and we'll send it down to Larissa Harris with more on Xavier Smith well Jake you were talking about how such a special guy Xavier Smith is Ryan Stanley I know that those sentiments rather saying that every day after a camp excellent and stay about 30 to 40 minutes late just to practice and get a few catches about 32 for extra catches to ensure that he can do those things like we just saw that one hit a catch or something after this play Larissa don't go too far C will take place here on second down second and a and once again some hard hidden right at midfield I was Marcus for once more delivering a blow so that Larissa Gopinath viewers may not know this you went to the food cooked and Tiffany with the fam you and we just learned that Tiffany was venom I was appreciated a girl hosted I like the one cooking Wildcat he's down little he's gotten yoked up over the years he's got a little buffer he used to be kind of slender danced a lot but I think you know sins and the Brian Jenkins here he kind of became more muscular and that will take us to the end of an entertaining the first quarter before Cookman and Florida A&M that's seven all at this quarter [Applause] welcome back to Camping World Stadium we're tied at 7 all as we're about to start the second quarter for joining us now the new ad and the youngest in Florida am history Courtney Gosha joining both Jay and I Courtney welcome in this is your first quarter class this is my first Florida classic and it is an experience I can tell you that much all right so you don't have to deviate too much from the colors because you were used to some orange and you know they had a little different shade of green Desilu University of Miami but in your mind what drew you to this job at Florida A&M you know I think the unique opportunity to represent our student athletes you know our student athletes get its opportunity for a world-class education and you know really when you look at the potential of athletics department it was you know having second-guess of a back we can talk very politically correct all day long one of the challenges that face floored a them because you're a blueblood program one of the most historic HBCU athletic programs in the country what are some of the immediate challenges you're gonna address you know I think it's efficiencies in process you know we haven't really had a lot of stability in the ADEs chair and so obviously the university's made a long-term commitment for me to be there and to really put a plan into place for us to have sustained growth things are you know our best days you get to come it is gonna be a lot of challenges and things that we have to address but we can do it that's the fabric that makes our family I just learned something today if you guys want to have some like mascot auditions and mascot trainers it used to be really good but you know the sense of pride and passion if mu is second to none when you look at what Willie Simmons has done in just his second season with the program how do you make sure that sports are on par with the championship type of effort that they've given this year so I think it's about building the culture we're winning a championship culture and coach Simmons has really demonstrated that to the best of his bed y'all can't see it but we can't in the booth Courtney came ready with these foreign shoes he was he was ready to go on second and six Bethune Cookman off the carry and they get just a few and he's breaking a rule you know I always say when you're in my booth I'm always gonna be the sharpest dress to them from the booth he came in their style and all me man that's the easy way not to get invited back when you're my size you know almost six five you know big dude it's hard to look good just to look like an average dressed guy so I think when I look at Ridge so tie goes to the big dude good luck to you and all that you have [Applause] [Music] don't wiggle side to side make them come catch you fortunately for Florida and they have enough team speed to catch Washington keep them at the end zone [Applause] ball on the 21st and that one getting a hand on it was number 41 for Florida am Doyle Grimes they have this play was perfectly designed they're bringing the Blitz two white jerseys there if you complete that pass that could possibly be a touchdown good defensive awareness for Florida native just to tip that ball they disrupt the pads Courtney goes should the new athletics director at Florida A&M University kids but unique opportunity and obviously Tiffany thank you for having us you are a rattler [Applause] phenomena kiyose williams going for jonathan thomas and overthrows him troy Hilton was side by side with them in that situation now I'm sure offensive coordinator outlets uber you called the double moon with Florida and doesn't fall for it keep the ball and play that sin 50/50 jump ball situation don't overthrown receiver for long and completion throw back shoulder allowing him to come back and make a play for you well this drive was set up after a 22 yard punt from Florida A&M then Isaac Washington with the 51 yard run CBS Williams looking for the bonds right Lord tracks him down and that's when he turned on the Jets and that's a good run from him and by him doing so we know that bethune-cookman struggling with their kicker so they're gonna go for it on fourth down you see the spin move here and he's run it hard [Music] and doing a good job not taking the sack giving them offensive coordinator and opportunity to call the short yardage play and these are the situations when you have three four or five yards to pick up that are so tough to defend when you have a dual threat quarterback really more of a runner like you do on the key B is Williams Williams [Applause] 14 yard scamper [Applause] give credit to the offensive line for bethune-cookman the initial surge before look how huge the running lane is get up to the second level there is no second level defender goes into the end zone just like that cats Jonathan Thomas stretching it out to a 14-7 lead 4,000 Manor we can't kick it don't worry by the coach action zone to give the prism [Applause] [Music] Orlando Florida at Camping World Stadium where the 2019 Florida Classic is underway what we just saw Jonathan Thomas who is actually a person who usually doesn't kick for the Wildcats well he's a man of many talents he also played soccer he played tennis as well for the Wildcats this past year and we know that Florida brother football is one of his another many talents as well all right thanks so much Larissa he's handling the kicking duties well so far on the return is Octavia Smith who we saw make a dynamic one-handed catch earlier in this game but to put a bow on Jonathon Thomas a three-year starter for the Wildcats a terrific young man a dual major in business administration and accounting a couple summers ago traveled two down under and a Special Olympics internship just a fantastic young man and what we always like to highlight Jay is the student student student first and second be more than it ever was tell young man right there gets hit 36 yard line that's where the Rattlers will start and it's Bishop Potter who's on the boom spent moving his boat down huge hole by the offensive line particularly big number 77 Keenan Forbes a rock guard pilot sees daylight dick game to Florida now bought it once again a couple of maroon jerseys Darius Clark was one of the dragon that I think the food cook means doing this wrong they started out this football game with the three-man defensive line game Florida in them a little bit of trouble they went to the forum and offensive line taking a line backer out to stop the run but that's allowed Stanley to pick them apart there in the passing game I would go back to that three-man look to call some confusion on the green because hit the park to the top ii intend this is complete Xavier Smith and Smith is flipped over and just about a yard short of the marker [Applause] [Music] this bethune-cookman defense giving up just about 26 points a game as Terry Sims likes to say it's a bin but don't break unit they struggle stop with the rug but in this game I'm not worried about the room I'm worried about direct snap to Terrell Jennings and Jennings the true freshman also from Duval County team picks up the first down short yardage situation they go directly to Jennings that's just lower you lower your shoulder pads and pick up the first down good tough running by the freshman [Music] [Applause] c'mon young emotion moves to the other side quickly the hands any targets number 81 the tide in from right out of Tallahassee Florida and the true fish freshman picks up six it's a vanilla coverage it's a pop pass okay you're gonna play that off you're going with four defensive linemen you rarely see that against a sprint off it's trying to stick to your tradition a four-man front to go with some type of three three five look this is too easy Brian Stann keeping it on the ground with Bishop bonnet bonnet with the couple but he saw on that graphic flash already more than a hundred yards through the air for the number one dancing profits in the MEAC if Florida head doesn't run the ball well they only averaged 105 yards per game that's one of the worst rushing attacks in the country not worried about that strike we'll just say in the sign that jersey says strike that strike from Ryan Stanley so bethune-cookman should give up a little bit of rushing yards don't worry about that battle I'm worried about plays like this which are he is past situations trying to confuse the pre-snap look that you show right Stan Staley's to ray-ray quickly lift up several bethune-cookman players were there Tiberius Peters that secondary you know he always like to come up and make a play yeah he's Oscar when he gets there because he's a safety and he's like well if I have to get involved is gonna hurt I'm gonna bring that bump come in with 15 yards of momentum lowers the helmet he's a finisher Bryan Stanley Noah's time Darius Peters all too well how to pick six last year in the Florida Classic - in the hopes of getting back to the celebration ball for FAMU the three men kept trying to cause some confusion with the look Stanley you see the confusion Stanley had all day to throw but he didn't know what he was looking at he's looking wait and wait I think I see something but once again Merritt goes up with one hand that should have been another interception that's the type of look you have to give rides down [Applause] who is always active from her strong safety position and before fam you can attempt the field goal birth um Cookman calls a timeout [Applause] first off the mediator [Applause] this Florida classic means so much they first got going back in 1978 here from the Florida classic but it dates back to 1925 but that was a Jake Gaither error that was pretty special and straight and when it officially became known as the plural of classic fans flocked in nearly two million have attended this game over the years but you have to give hail to the Wildcats as they have had an eight-year dominant run over their in-state rival when you go to Florida and when you go to the throw Cookman in its classic week windy off certainly when do y'all start when do y'all start preparing for that the richard wilson you start prepared for the Florida classic at the beginning of the year you talked a little bit about it each week and build up especially if your team is winning and doing their theme it's a constant continuous motion but it really hits when that's Sunday before the actual Saturday that's under par that's when the tarnish off and everything really gets me I'll chime in in just a second first the 32-yard attempt from [Applause] special teams defense that's Paul clicking here in this horrid place and what you have to give credit to give credit to McCool Koopman head coach Carey sin he called the timeout to set up the field goal block they block the field goal great execution on special [Music] City Beautiful Orlando Florida as we welcome you back to ESPN college football presented by McDonald's in just about five minutes away from downtown bethune-cookman with a 14-7 lead over Florida A&M here's Marcus [Applause] and guess what there's a gibbet [Music] the tips didn't own anything passes for the field picnic they're gonna become a wide receiver threat he has the speed to outrun a couple of secondary defenders to Florida [Music] of flat [Applause] [Music] go against right despite the ball a little bit Terry Sandy's given to him on the sidelines come on it's the classic man porcelain kinda fits number two we're spiking the ball that's number two's Bernard when you see that Marcus Riley is like that make me feel some time away he is excited to be competing contributing in this Florida Classic we have been looking with a difference there down inside the five yard line they've got the ball on the 35 yard line he gave away almost 30 yards on that [Applause] that's a little severe though the greatest wife is under farther were here because he ended up inside the five how to get to the 35 the spike is a 15 yard building while they saying he stepped on the bound closer to the end zone well that's what they won't discuss let's see it once more he was near that right there that's about the 20 yards and that's why they put them on the 35 good job by the official but catching that and think they've got the spot in the right place well Terry Sims in his fifth season as the head coach up a film clip in his first as a head coach 2015 film a classic you go back to that season and how special it was for them me a coach of the year but cook but that was the last time the conference crown this persevere could have been an up and down season the high expectations of faltered a little bit Macy's talk to a baby just put on the team don't that's selfish when you spike the football right there to celebrate [Applause] not a man to do that yeah I want to go back to this we talked about being classic weekend we asked Larissa what did classic start for her while you were at Florida and it was a student when did your classic preparation take place I would say yes we cared about it [Applause] at the 22-yard line the 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike would be enforcement a spot [Applause] please reset the clock [Applause] and so for me though we really start to dial in at the start of football season right we really cared about it and it ramped up just about two weeks beforehand because you know you're gonna feast on the Wildcats I know you're gonna break bread with your family and you know where there's going to be a fun time so this rivalry means so much because you know I always tell the story of my grandparents had but Mary McLeod Bethune hanging in there helps but she didn't allow more than gold especially during classic week Jimmy Robinson showstopper all his feet picks up the first down that matter where you are on the field you always have to Zone in on number one it's almost like just catching well this is what Nick they should do more of this catch have given the ball in the middle of the field they can catch him one way or the other he's got pickup positive yardage he is daring direct lers defense to do so they hand it off and just tripped up and a loss on the carry from Kwai Shan bird backs him up a couple great play by the defensive end Isaiah land the freshman from Loganville Georgia he's really been an impact player that they're trying to do that little read option off of him but he's quick enough to change direction six feet 4 inches 195 pounds so that's a small defensive end but he has that flexibility to be able to possibly catch the pedis waves but react to what he's doing it he did a good job of fooling the senior on that last play [Music] second in a dozen Williams surveying the field step step forward reshma says give it to me give it to me yes this is the fantastic kisser Francoise makes it we've seen him do it they've got great hands secures the ball let's see if he gets into the end zone given a channel given its own made the catch and watch him extend me does not hit the ground [Music] tremendous by Francois 28-yard score for Bethune Cookman [Applause] and Thomas puts the Wildcats up by two scores but the cook fence offense is clicking it's because of the extra effort plays like this Mira [Applause] for a year this game is important but we'll break down a little bit further on what it means to both sides for Terry Sims crew they've done the kick in a row they're trying to make it nine straight over FAMU meanwhile Florida AM is seeking their first undefeated conference season since 1996 the one team that's been the thorn in their side over the last eight years though have worn those colors right there and Terry Sims has been apart the lowly really taking over this rock Ariba 1996 that's that's back in that that's that [Applause] I've been that long since bamboos gone undefeated when the MEAC going on defeat in this conference is very very tough that you do Marcus Williams on the return going to the opposite side of the field and after the pooch kick from Thomas the Rattlers will start at their own 43 yard line but J I think that brings up the larger conversation right Florida am 13 and FCS North Carolina ANC in the top 25 as well and South Carolina State and a heated missile right now with Norfolk State and they get an opportunity to walk away with the win you have to put them in the conversation for an FCS playoff spot just heard that South Carolina State bunny pew Bulldogs won in overtime trailing by three the last minutes of the game send it into overtime and congratulations buddy Pugh they put themselves in position that's a strong resume at 83 for them they have 2-1 loss to an FBS programing she wants us to top 25 when things Stanley looking downfield Highsmith and that was an easy pitch in catch from Stanley to Smith I mean he saw was a cover to looki that was gonna cover - you wanna tag between the cornerback and the safety from the slot receiver dissing smash route size up the safety that's too easy take about 25 moves of approximate field Devon Kendra luring his shoulder and he stopped by Devante lawrence and they're going back to that form and offensive look again in Ron Stanley we'll pick them apart whenever he sees that and at this point I'm questioning why they're doing it because they're not even really given pressure on the quarterback you go for defensive lineman to pressure the quarterback they're not getting there and I think part of the reason is he's able to see what defensive coverage you're doing in the secondary so he's getting rid of the football by time you get there [Applause] he is picking them apart when they go with the conventional look look how quickly he gets rid his football one two balls off even when he gets hit the ball is gone he knows where he's going with the football than a great job now finishing off the play by man ago those fans are certainly in for a treat for this 40th edition of the Florida classic extra point is good no good excuse me is an incomplete extra point of two but that doesn't erase with David Mann ago did right here he was thrown into the fire she was classic this he scores this is from last night's battle of the bands at Amway Center and several thousands were on hand to watch the incomparable marching 100 and the marching Wildcats hear that that is like deep indigo - I've never gone I've heard that is unbelievable they have like four or five high school bands and then they bring in the varsity squad that you of the marching Wildcats and the food come from the varsity and then the JV team of the marching 100 the nation go get them y'all handle on is the thinner imitated March today so - and I think you notice there without question Florida A&M is the kiyose ban I've seen in the country reason to be because actually doing it longer and better there's been years where I've seen but II couldn't blow them up but they look like abuse in the family the right they never lost a halftime performance that's just not true now would agree that if that is not true because marching cats have been coming Robinson bird on the return but you're right Jane the marching Wildcats they bring it and I remembers probably from the time they really started this eight-year streak of dominance on the football field the marching Wildcats were also winning at halftime good every year I look forward to this halftime I call this veto this HBCU game in the country by a plastic fans don't don't even question me on that both these bands are bigger than southern and Grant was banned and it is more [Applause] begin their and stop by Eric Smith Smith with the NACA lots of too trying to get the ball to the playmaker in space and Jimmy can live with that thing sometimes they get the better of y'all equates a game of football but don't let that deter you here Bethune Cookman continued to force-feed the football to Jamie Robinson [Applause] five minutes to go in the second and 12 a key Vyas morgan's feels the pressure and he's wrapped up still on his feet Monika's Riley that is tied by Marquis Bell this is how you play when it's your last collegiate football game Williams steps up he's wrapped up I'm not going down look at the vision finds an open receiver coming back to the quarterback for the big play for the Wildcats when although flowers was there to him first but he got it away [Music] gets the first down but a yellow flag out on the field [Applause] holding office number 63 10-yard penalty that's on the two-year starter on the offensive line Jamal Savage [Applause] how rare is that on third and one on a running play you see a holding call Smash Mouth football that's rare so instead of [Applause] picking up the first ow [Applause] yards too natives more chasing him down to the outside let go and he [Applause] markers [Applause] that's a toughie what a play bites out of the Thomas ineligible player downtown number 63 the five yards away from the free turn that's on 63 again Jamal Savage not a good series but look at this good job the kicker /y receiving with great concentration he called that DISA rattler captain let's see downfield down there eight yards and anybody picking is going run I'm fortunate for Terry Sims the to cook the Wildcats yeah they keep shooting themselves in the breath they're wanting to engineer a drop to perhaps put up up loose on the floor before going into and it's they keep marching back Williams with throws it in the middle where nobody can get to it but you saw Cameron Smith nearly up and bring down Williams the big stop by Florida A&M with the assistance of a couple of penalties but now they've got an opportunity to get this football back in pretty good field position and it's a chance to tie this thing up before that [Applause] I scour Australia set to punt it away [Applause] Brahe and the Rattlers watch that one bounce will kick off here Sunday with NFL countdown or Andy ball swings the best catches that one would have been a great one from Jonathan Thomas had it stood from this week's college football action plus all-access with that Prescott Tom Brady don't miss countdown Sunday morning at 10 a.m. Eastern on ESPN and this is a big game for both teams in week 12 of Monday Night Football as Lamar Jackson and the electrifly quarterback leaves the Ravens into LA to take on Aaron Donald and the Rams the AFC dork leading Ravens have won six in a row they'll go head to head our coverage begins with Monday night countdown at 6 p.m. about Lamar jacks oh my gosh changing the office to try to make things work Lamar Jackson it's worked very well and quite honestly for many black quarterbacks around the league he's not the only one yeah took this and I use this his barbershop talked and went to mom when I was getting my faith who would you take we're at MIT I would say Lamar tonight nobody back in here I'm like oh yeah then I was like the shot and he's cold like the older spell the Statesmen to that group there who's having an MVP caliber season and I get to call Games weekend in a week out with the former NFL quarterback as well Jay Walker Devon Kendrick on the carry on second down and he picks up about seven that's a time where you have for the film Cookman defensively you guys you got the pick-6 you've got a good job there hold on Italy going to the halftime hold and I'll call it Florida and that's a trail that they can only take a feeling well it's fine but it's crucial for the food cook man to hold on to that lead going into the locker room this will be a bit little third down to try to close out the first half [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] was there long as well like and every time they give him that in silent look she Stanley doesn't know what is good dude normally he would sit there and settle because he doesn't know where the pressures coming from or the secondary decides to escape a little bit early comes up short on the first down and just have to wonder like if you're really Simmons then is playing well but they're gonna start seeing that look more and more you got to go coaching and likely a discussion just a reminder to our viewers how we got here it was that big six by Trevor Merritt that got Bethune Cookman on the board first they also have a black field goal to throw in there as well penalties have really hurt the wildcats especially on that last offensive drive equipment we're doesn't show up there they've been played from a hit homey they went up sevens in baby time it's seven they went up 14 so they continued to hold on to the lead and force Florida A&M to play in that trail position Chris module on to putt kicking specialists from Tampa Florida on American one of the best in all FCS [Applause] got a good leg on this one inside the 10 and really know where to go for Terry Spain and a flag is on the field although I don't know if I see when I may have missed smoke there what a weapon that padule has been though any time to coach him in his life football if its fourth and short punt because for dual changes gained with his legs best kicker in the country a season ago in terms of distance per punt this year he's only gotten better with the ability to pin tins inside their 20-yard line [Applause] Bethune Cookman will start from their own 11 with the minute 50 to go the middle and you see the speed from Jimmy Robinson but now there's the flat on another run play but I want to get the ball Jimmy box number 76 [Applause] it's going to be the right guard Cedric Jackson who's going to come here and win look pull they're gonna say top dog somebody that's a the end that's close that's a spin around it's like was he gonna make the play we talked about Isaiah and land making an impact in this game that's where you need Cedric Jackson that have better technique anticipate where the defensive line is going to be and just shield them off the race is a big play from generality while four dams defense has gotten some pressure up front you got a credit bethune-cookman old wine for a holding strong [Applause] Jay I think it's important because we always talk about Porter back to the impact that they have on games and the key piece Williams has really done a nice job bouncing back from last week's loss I think last week might have been his most disappointing performance since he's been the quarterback he almost feel he was more fun today he had to play better he's taking advantage of it we've seen the mobility on display we've seen to make some good decisions in the passing game those numbers last week he just could not get it going mus victory against North Carolina A&T and then just alone against your in-state rival your final game your career already with 159 yards and two touchdowns do you see that not like that centers like that you talk to me and that's smart because he's probably gonna say the wrong thing they don't even talk about I'm done talking to y'all he's had some questionable calls here especially you don't run game plays wit flags out there first and 15 Robinson gets it once again Jimmy Robinson - about the 17-yard line brought down by the other number one and Terry Jefferson that that still take your time here we see Jimmy he can turn on the Jets and accelerate that's a nice big hole there so you got a nice run there but you still gotta pick up this first down I like this they're being patient you don't want to get foreign a them an opportunity to get that firm that football back with any time on the pot so if you put Robinson and one into the background of what's like picture boys [Applause] Robinson remains back there the handoff once again the Jimmy Robinson and Robinson wrapped up and Florida A&M does have a couple of timeouts and they spin one here was taking their time on the previous play which I thought was smart and so that pretty much in Floyd ain't in he forced but cooking over running this football on third down and Simmons who is a former quarterback at clemson knows he's got an excellent passer and Ryan Stanley and so you give up just one or two plays he could by the end zone and I thought what was so crucially Willie know what his attack mentality was there at South Carolina State South Carolina State gets the lead with a minute to go and then that kicker kicks the ball out of bounds and Willie Simmons gets the ball down by three on the 50 yard line if his mindset change we're not playing for the time we're going for the W got that victory in like 47 seconds later it was over so he's an aggressive mindset with the Pasig attack likes to throw it you can tell he and stand there just in sync with each other the thought process run the football here run the football here don't let the timeout fool you pass over to Jimmy Robinson and closing quickly from Jimmy Robinson I think may have gotten the first down I like each one to play started to get the ball around so you running it you're gonna run some clock get it to your playmaker we say he's gonna make the first guy to miss picks up that first down and what that does is that secures that you're going to go into a locker world pretty much with the lead doesn't give up watch him get loan they're trying to strip him then he picks up the first down type of playmaker skill guy and he gets the four yards needed but more importantly tilting the balls are the hands of the Rattlers they will get the ball to start the second half it's been a good one through the first 30 minutes here from Camping World Stadium Bethune Cookman has dominated the series and so far they're up 21:13 over Florida am Tereus in was cruel started strong and the head coaches join execution was huge for you and so far this from one Wildcat to another thank you so much Larissa the ban from Florida am marching 100 already taking the field will be an entertaining half it's been a great game we expect a thrilling second half with us [Applause] [Music] shout out to the marching Wildcats finishing up their halftime performance the bethune-cookman football team up 21 13 over the 13th ranked the Rattlers will you look at that first half and it always goes back to the quarterbacks in your mind Jay hunter Ryan Stanley do then the Stanley do this pick six but like a great quarterback you knew he was gonna respond back but the touch brothers we've seen from Ryan Stanley's been when he gets an exotic formation he's struggled but they give him time they played traditional beat meant he's having a field day back there in the pocket they have to continue to confuse him a little bit but Ryan Stanley showing you what he's given the time to protection he's the best path through his compost on the other side of capias Williams the other fits years he stepped up his plaintiff that what we said when in Xanadu ones you have to make the bed with his legs and his arm so we're seeing him keep the play alive there when the key before you had the ability to throw the ball deep he's got the touchdown in the first half he needs to continue to play in that level that the Wildcats want to hold on to and just moments ago our Larisa Harris talked with head coach Willie Simmons coach what more needs to be done to get that passing attack going patina execute at a high level some things have been there you know we miss a couple but is the rank it's a run game both concern about right now and how do you neutralize that run game and guys like Jimmy Robinson well we start playing Simon football you know right now when I will get that gap guys are trying to do too much defense based on being assignment perfect and little excel the guys down and get back better playing Simon football thank you so much thank you thanks so much Marisa coming into the season the playmakers that bethune-cookman had coming back on off [Applause] among the difference makers in today's game against Florida A&M Marcus Williams on the return and he's trip that loses the football but the wrestler is able to fall on top of it George Webb recovers it for Florida A&M the first couple of minutes are so important you see losses couldn't slip great job recovering at football the key moments are always coming back home but I think it's very important before they get mister because as I mentioned before they've been playing from behind the whole game it seems like now you can get the ball tie it up then you put a little bit of pressure on that bethune-cookman off mix to produce [Music] and we'll see the type of Drive that Lyon Stanley can engineer coming out of the locker room you heard coach Willie Simmons tell Larissa that he wanted to try to run game going [Applause] first time that's not the way you want to start seminar lock really can't do that there was an extended half time already because of the size and the length of that time show doesn't really hurt a porn a.m. swap is it gonna throw the ball quarterback can make up the five yards you need by throwing the football and get this J Florida A&M had 154 yards in the air compared to a hundred and sixty one for Bethune Cookman Bishop pocket bought the carry wanna try to get around the corner stopped by Jamar look here browse an area where they were prove just 53 yards on the ground whether hecklers they've got to do it but they aren't at this point you're not gonna reinvent yourself right you're not a relative you are passing teeth you are trying to play for HBCU national championship ranking you throw the football the second half Stanley throwing 30 times he was 12 of 18 and the first half through a couple of scores as well the delay just being patient but really know where to go for bonnet as Marquis Hendrix one of those suckers from that line back and all the staff that store down this is what you need if your bethune-cookman his past in situations now he could go to the exotic front now they're going to three defensive linemen they bring in an extra secondary defender try and create a little hobbit let's see if Marcus for the before t8 can get there from his defensive in position consistent pass rusher live holding up and Marcus Williams was there but just maybe some miscommunication on that round yeah this don't think Stanley feels confident enough when he doesn't just recognize the coverage from his priest that breathe so he's looking out there playing man it's a man-to-man look this cover one would see it safety help deep metal but because of the blitzing linebackers coming they had protection and after thrown brings on a punt so their first drive yields a punt and fedone sends it back Tyree Spain had three wrestlers coming in but he stayed on his feet and has finally wrapped up cook many has won eight straight against Florida A&M they're trying to make it a nine in a row but for the 13th red Rattlers they're seeking their first undefeated season since 1996 they open the 2019-20 campaign [Music] at UCF suffered a loss but since that time they run off nine straight wins Terry Sims and his group don't care anything about that they don't but the hookman needs to pull away because if it continues to stay closed advantage florida and then they've worn a number of close football games this season I think you need to get a little separation if you're a wildcat fan right now because as long as the Rattlers stay close I think the momentum will go towards him even if their trailer and you heard coach Sims tell IRISA before or just about felt like they weren't executing to some degree but he needed to see a little bit more and I walked him back to that first drive from the field Cookman and then met any points but they moved the ball effectively and efficiently down the field [Applause] with the IMG and now great field position paternity for theater strike is heinous this is the wide open receiver running down the scene and you dismissed through it right [Applause] and who has an Aegis interception he probably happened [Applause] you almost wanted to feed the head with the ball off that center of mass option a way huge turning Stanley ago traffic it's his third interception of the season he brought it back 30 yards and the Rattlers start from bethune-cookman 20 yards [Applause] feels depression steps up tucks it in Lawrence he can do a little we don't see it then but he moves the chains the senior leadership they traveler trick play looking for the time and in the middle of the field it was covered to the football take off running picks up a first down the railroads were the opportunity to put some points on the board here early in the second half Sandling who only had 35 rushing yards coming into this game for the season picks up a critical one Bishop bother trying to go behind his tacklers and he stopped jean-marc to Marquis Reeves and Devante Lawrence we're there to hold and this is why they have to throw the ball bishop button is their runner but he weighs 165 pounds so even when he gets a full head of steam and momentum if you get an arm on him around the waist you stack them in his track so now they're making the adjustment if going to Terrell Jennings number 23 in the backfield the 225 freshman [Music] better suited for these types of situations the hand [Applause] Jennings just deliver the up to die Darius beat it if you're going to be a big back run like a big back died play down the middle collision in the hole quickly the snap on third down they get and he stopped short [Applause] Jerome Hauer was there took around and now what do you do 1/4 down Brian Stann to the sideline decision time poor Willie Simmons looks like they're going for in the 2-yard you got the handoff rinsing the tech near the wakeful mines down there going with a Wildcat formation that's as if day ray the direction [Applause] the high school that converted to wide receiver [Applause] his escape ability skills like bethune-cookman just gave up on the foot he was there he finds away the and what a huge fillet on the fantastic individual effort from as in day race why don't you go for two you - now you down by one it was all set up by the Andrew Hines interception converting into points [Applause] [Music] backyard camping world Stadium just one point separates these two in-state rivals it goes back to 1925 Florida Am is trying to get their first win nine attempts against Bethune Cookman jaywalker tiffanygreen here with you and thank you all for tuning in a girl ball coach Bill Parcells even taking a look as well this every time to step up my game to get hit in the second half [Applause] that lets you know when you get an opportunity you're talking FCS football you're playing on the national stage you never know who's watching opportunity for records down to show what he can do and talk about Xavier Smith about Jenny Robinson get the ball to Jimmy Robinson he's your NFL prospect with the Cookman difference maker [Music] a little kid [Music] balls people into 35-yard it's nitpicking but Jimmy Robinson calls that he's a kick returner they want to kick away from him so he gives his team an extra 15 yards by being fast they're in a game that's a 1 point that says field position becomes king take advantage of mistakes that are made in special teams who can alter your plans keep coaches on the opposing team late at night because he has got speed and more speed at EVs Williams with the quick pass and there's Robinson must Benson gets the first down and a little bit more on the senior out of Palm Coast here's why so special watch how quickly he goes from zero to 60 he's four feet five yards he's going full speed he can step on the gas pedal one step you make one more move he will hurt you remember and he was an excellent runner in high school for I believe that the normal you hear people saw they ran track in high school this is that Jimmy looks like he ran like he could still get their anchor your about 110 three receivers to the bottom of your screen the handoff to Isaac Washington and Washington with those quick moves to the outside pushed out by Derek Mayweather and Isaiah layin Washington who has been an all-purpose back is really improved throughout the season and they expect him to continue to grow in their program [Applause] from the Rattlers 45 on second and 3 Williams finds Robinson again at all some space in Jimmy to create space I'm telling you sometimes this game just not that difficult get the ball to your best football player this is good defense by Florida amen it's just better on offense on display by Jimmy Robinson you can't tackle him one-on-one in the open field he is in the edge of your seat tight player every time he touches it you have to be on the ngse cuz something big canal special player for sure when Sean burger tried to go up the middle and he was stunned by Cameron Smith Smith the junior out of Decatur along with Isaiah LAN [Applause] this is Ray just once your senior quarterback to make smart decisions with the football ball security if we call it the interception Williams sticks never complain about completed passes for three for four to forty and nobody's open you're gonna catch me I thought he should have run the football right up the middle probably would have picked up the first down instead they have to the game and the Wildcats trying to create a little bit more separation here Florida an intra role with Dyson blitz bethune-cookman because we know they're not going to go for a field goal it's two down territory I'm trying to set up for fourth down Robinson in motion the key vs Williams able to swim through there and he's down here the motion to the right as a distraction you open up the runway for your quarterback Williams on the left again we talked about Williams one of the fastest on this team this young man who's his fifth year graduated already with his bachelor's whooping on his master's and trying to close out his bethune-cookman career with the win over fam you the handoff and a few netted as Marquis fell stops Robinson for your gain of really wasn't much there but you don't complain pick it up for yards on first down that keeps you ahead of the chains really like a big force in Jamie Robinson into this game play again remember you go back to that first drive for pursuing cook men they took their time walked down the field [Music] didn't walk away with any points but since that time they put up 21 no we're going for a GPS Williams as he's wrapped up what a great decision so you're taught when you're doing that then read option if anybody's gonna jeopardize disrupted the quarterback running back exchange so watch this he knows he's going to give him bullet he pulls it you can hit him I'm gonna protect the football and almost pick up a first down that's a great job by Kiva's williams in the running game williams who entered into today's game as the wildcats leading rusher with six carries and 26 yards to go along with a score on the ground third and short [Applause] didn't anybody deceptive quarterback they practices fooling the defense making you think you gave the ball away and you pull it in that case they're accuse Williams's fool Tiffany great what a nice responsive drive from Bethune Cookman after the Rattlers made it a one point game Baku marching down the field in the red zone the drive across the goal line they're taking their time on this drive first and goal handing it off to the darién Wilson and a flag comes out on the far side [Applause] illegal formation in the backfield foie gras take a look what do they call they say five men in the backfield you've got one you've got two three four that's easy one of these white receivers has to get up on the line of scrimmage before bethune-cookman penalties even though that's just a five-yard variety have fun [Applause] ille opportune times perhaps this game we've been stretched out a little bit wider not been for one or two still first the offensive line has to protect better however you have to get rid of this football throw it away you're completely out of field goal range now you've got a backup field goal kicker in there that's what when you just get rid of the football you still on the 10-yard line you spill the field goal range huge first of the baby for either team and it's now second and goal this time from the 18-yard line [Applause] and Terry Sims ran over to call a timeout we'll step aside as well second a goal when you come back [Applause] [Music] it's breaking the flavor brought to you behind McDonald's [Music] [Music] oh yeah this 40th edition of the Florida classic has given us all we've wanted a key vyas Williams on second and goal sucks it tries to find some room and Elijah Richardson there the deliverer blow and now it's third and goal you gotta give a shout out my man gave me one of the Wildcat turnover change he gave me one so get my shot and I appreciate that yeah third and goal what's the decision what do you do here you gotta put in Williams that's been your guy first Reid should be Jimmy Robinson if he gets one-on-one I'm Akitas William if he picked up three or four yards you can probably go for a field goal Williams quickly fling set out in Isaac Washington he's brought down by Marquis Bell was that enough Jane we're gonna find out the decision it's warm down here on the 10 I think we've seen just enough leg for him to make a field goal from this distance keep in mind good Thomas is a wide receiver and Marcus Riley goes down seems to be cramping and that short break may allow an opportunity for bethune-cookman to discuss their strategy to think about it remember Jonathan Thomas a backup kicker stepping in alright here's an injured player down the concerned about a little bit they're using this like a full-fledged time I think this is calm you have a clamp you don't want to bend that leg you keep that big strength each step was less you see at the top you scream he's there what are you doing jump it all wait a minute take away from Marcus Wright that he made crabs but it just seems like it came [Music] water gutsy performance Papa food cook become of this game they don't have their kicker available no they have to go for it on down [Music] football deflating four cores gonna be Kiba they got a cohort on fourth down [Applause] on a3 blame slide coming into today's game but this is one of their best offensive outputs in a few weeks devious Williams looking try to get [Applause] [Music] and Derek Mayweather along with Cameron Smith were able to slow Williams and a turnover on downs [Music] [Applause] the Florida a.m. defense holds second sack of the game the Rattlers will get the ball [Music] the six ring Oregon Ducks go to Tempe Arizona to take on farm Edwards crew at Arizona State 7:30 Eastern 4:30 Pacific on ABC and the ESPN take a look at Justin Herbert you don't know he could be the number one man call for the upcoming NFL Draft the quarterback from Morgan he can throw it Florida A&M signal caller Brian Stanley can throw it as well we'll see what they can do starting deep in their own territory the hands of Komori young as we send it down to Louie Harris well the guys on the sideline are trying to exude a lot of energy especially the defense as they traded places with the offense the model that they were yelling protect the crib protect the crib I know Elijah Robinson Richardson rather told me that was a model that they were trying to implement they're making Orlando their home celebration ball or not they plan on winning aka protecting the crib appreciate that Richardson's crib is Port st. Lucie but right now trying to get comfortable inside Camping World Stadium the pass delivered and a bullet to Marcus Williams the Williams come up big for the Rattlers today that a good football game got a touchdown made some catches and going across the middle I'm afraid to go across there full-speed Stanley hit subscribe picks up the first down for the rally he's repping the crib from Miami 305 out of Miami northwestern high school first and ten Bishop bought it and he was quickly met by Jerome Howard remember to roam Howard had that block punt earlier in the game pickup of zero none this is what's ironic to me whenever they use three defensive linemen they seem to get more pressure on the field of Florida in content to the traditional form and offensive front so defensive coordinator yogi Jones stick in with three down linemen and that seems to be given the Rattlers trouble like they were expecting it [Applause] stepping up we see them do this [Applause] the three years started who quarterbacks the defense for Bethune put the scoop score [Applause] Stanley gets a little bit indecisive towards the end of the run that balls knocked out that is a clear fumble great reaction by middle linebacker David James gets aggressive the games from defensive player to running back along the sideline with some help with a lead blocker in the end zone it was marquise Hendricks who freed the ball and then Devin James picked it back up and ran into the end zone this is going to be a quick review you see it he's getting ready give himself up but he changed his mind as you mentioned Hendricks on the tackle backs the ball away Devon James does the rest [Applause] is that Devon James also from Port st. Lucie you have Marisha talk about a Richardson who's from the same place trying to pump up this but it's Deb and James who comes up in linebacker playing Port st. Lucie to premier players in this conference indeed but Devin James got the best Bryan Stanley and the Rattler outfits if the coal floats on the field which was ruled a fumble only thing they could be looking at this lawn would be did he step out and I going to return [Applause] what is and J as they review this as the third turnover by Ryan Stanley in this game see does he step out of what's that bumpy 11-yard wine but in this type of game that could be huge we know that kook McKinnon kick field goals do they will have a field goal kickers they've been going for it would that be a field goal range so this would be an opportunity for that Warner deepest to make a stand this will be a really important call Barnard still trying to get the final word they're still trying to sort it out up in the replay booth meanwhile Orion Stanley these games have always been so important but getting a win against bethune-cookman has yet to come for Stanley and they know how to get to Ryan Stanley [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] football's a game of inches to give credit to the pursuit by Sidney number three for fluid am making exist enough of an impact to force the brother to glad about well the ball is placed at the 11 yard line I'm curious to know what more could they be discussing but maybe looking at the clock to see where the flop should be with go back to your point on Stanley [Applause] [Applause] when truck operator please reset the game clock clock will start on the snap we kind of saw that coming but you know I think Marissa talked about you dis alluded to it you got all those numbers some people say numbers are at quarterback you mentioned by guns and I think I would be disappointing in his career with the victory Oh the instinct Rockville Florida the team took the laptop [Applause] [Music] [Applause] first and ten the handout that Derrick mayweather was the most to get to the ball carrier and then Eric Smith came over to seal the deal and south of Washington in the red zone the most successful food Cookman has had has been running the football with the Kiva's wood they try to display smashmouth run downhill they have not had success he gets this Florida defense I've looked at ever trying to get millions on the perimeter three trips to the red zone the Wildcats one touchdown to show forward [Applause] just look like a ball star on top of your screen Paul story number 63 five yard penalty second deck [Applause] that backs him up I had more yards plot still running in do you get the playoff before the end of the quarter wants them to lighten up a luncheon in this case book seem like they're getting set to go they did bring Jimmy Robertson back into the game it's a smart move and Williams who satellites around in the red zone because he's had success and goody yardage there picked up on that second down carry good for a third quarter in the books final period all the way Florida classic can we get it done [Applause] [Music] football fans what more could you ask for one point separating in-state rivals here from the Florida classic bethune-cookman on 3rd and 7 and stopped wobbly by Ronaldo flowers Isaac Washington really has nowhere to go and on fourth down we've talked about all day long no true kicker but they will try on to the field and perhaps we could see a field goal attempted here with Jonathan Thomas the receiver / kicker he's been able to make the extra points apparently can he make a field goal it should get through a little bit more cushion five yards really have enough leg he's able to get around eternity he had to pull that a little bit the ball is on the far right hand you talk about clutch it's good job by John katanas the sophomore says where there is a will there's a way he gets his team nearer by formed [Music] while the Wildcat can cook right now the Wildcats have won in a row and they're looking the snap of three game and close out the year with the W you have to give credit to the field cook with specialty knowing they don't have to kick it up to kick the ball screaming deep they've got a good to put minimize in the return yardage Marcus Williams those silver estate across the 40-yard line could return as she stopped by then stoves to turnovers tonight for Ryan Stanley go back to that opening drive that was the big sits and that started the scoring for Bethune Cookman gave them the early advantage [Applause] last drop very fortunate on this fumble we thought it was a touchdown instead we saw the James stepped out of bounds at the 11 yard line and only cost the Rattlers three points instead of seven for defensive linemen in the game this is when stan has had success throwing the ball when he can dissect the coverage before snap [Applause] the lamp game [Music] the second time they're gonna be picking us up [Applause] first time that would have been the second time that we had seen a delay of game coming out of the pork but really Simmons wisely call the timeout his first down you got a quarterback that can throw I think the time made food more viable than the five yards [Music] stop the clock at certain point if you can't get the lead back you need to get football so much more viable the second half and so the aggressive second year head coach sends his offensive unit back onto the field we'll see what he doctored up for the Rattler offense number one passing attack in the MEAC second overall and scoring putting up 33 a game today they've got 20 so far against Bethune Cookman Devon Kendrick face mass may have been grass lamb to the crown that was Tiberius Peters one yard he got twisted turn a couple time prophets to the face password did he catch him as intimate changes direction and then it gets not see that's why I should be quiet sitting for my part of you it looked like when he was turned around he may have got a piece of it but dip his Xavier Smith in motion Smith to the light side and he's near the chains going deep out-of-bounds into his own now big up third and short enables his speed and we talk about Xavier Smith the receiver but there we'll chat sweet but that's how you get your best players involved offense kind of line woven this game with a trans upstart had their big play wide receivers had 11 receiving touchdowns on the year thousand yards and showing you the speed able to get to the edge up we saw that word [Music] [Applause] with the first down [Applause] the food cook Minh took it hook line and sinker the freshman Terrell Jennings the big back piece of down here elevates just enough to get the pass off for the huge [Music] 27 yards freshman to freshman Kendrick on the carrion Devon Kendrick into the redzone it took Devante lords and Devante Hampton to bring him down [Applause] the handoff again finds a hole and is tripped up just near [Applause] they'll spawn at the two quickly to the line may have seen some movement up top the 50-50 ball and it's thrown out of bounds hurry up no huddle what's the time he wasn't there just got rid of it [Music] as close was it a jump or not but they didn't call it Stanley that go change anything not trying to do too much we've got the ball a great position throw it away let's go third down and go go downhill run the ball with twenty three I will to keep twenty three in the game he's out there now we'll keep the big running back back there we've had success running directly [Music] don't go sideways [Music] Smith trying to find two blockers still on his feet [Music] [Applause] and that by Jerome Hauer landmark these entrance floors down they went sideways why go sideways he had success running the Big Bang and napping knocks images dharna kick the field goal they just had a good stop on you get it to a one-point game the only points on the board you're chasing this year down by four a little bit surprised at the news in two yards [Applause] he was a former guns going for it on 4 [Applause] firstly gutsy call he's trying to win the Florida classic throw your punk quarterback get the time and Ray has been that multi-purpose wide receiver for them all season long [Applause] a little bit late with the tech club coming up was Hampton gets it in in this football game [Applause] before Yahoo continue with the test camcorder the previous play another further review that review must be coming from up top at the replay booth and so Laurie Bernard will sprint to the other to confirm for overturning the call seemed like pretty clear he placed the ball inside these not dating places it is ball lands inside broke the plane [Applause] the main tables and that's a touchdown and what looks to be pretty cut-and-dry they'll look at over just to make sure [Applause] as in de Reagan's rattler nation something to cheer about leave before Yahoo I'll be there in the previous blank is that a further review that review must be coming from up top at the replay booth been so wory Bernard will split to the other in field to confirm by overturning the call seem like pretty clear he placed the ball inside these not dating places it is ball lands inside the pylon broke the plane [Applause] main table dance it lets a touchdown [Music] and what looks to be pretty cut-and-dry he'll look it over just to make sure [Applause] moving on the field testing as in de Reagan's Butler nation something to cheer about Yehia on for the extra point [Applause] and it's good 27:24 as in deranged with the couple of touchdowns today coming up in cleave off it's for his Rattlers [Music] ESPN college football is presented by McDonald's look you put some fuel on that fire Thurs continuing in this fourth quarter they took their first lead of the ballgame that they want this win better than anybody else they have yet to beat the Wildcats but right now with the three point lead 1101 remaining in the this one is gonna be one for the history books it feels harder tougher days Jimmy Robinson [Music] and he strolled down to the ground he is special he is special he accelerates so quick he wants it the blockings not there but he's not giving up I'm he's just looking for a crease accelerate stop change directions keep your balance accelerate stiff-arm and just one tackle away from getting to the outside again [Applause] while I was fun to watch play you said it edge-of-your-seat type of runner and he's one of 16 seniors for the food cooked them that wants to keep the street going Williams pulls it down and it hung in the air and marques bell almost had an opportunity to get to it that's the adjustment that was made by defensive coordinator Ralph Street for Florida A&M bring the pressure anticipate the slant route coming in behind so they brought Terry Jefferson from the outside they knew that Williams was gonna pull it try and connect with the slant pattern and they had to safety they're ready for an interception almost a big play they're gonna get the same look they're gonna bring them along from up top in the face [Applause] but number 41 Doyle Grimes the 5th year senior of Miami brought the pressure and one of the witnesses from cocoon Cookman I believe this season has been their offensive line a really good group but you see how many white jerseys are there to offer they just don't do a satisfactory job of protecting their core and that puts Williams under so much stress they need to figure out a way to this block there's three main defensive line to float in [Music] Terry Jefferson from the side he's gonna come and bring pressure but that can't disrupt what you're gonna do he showed a lot coming up stays on his feet good for this is just Florida football running around changing direction so much speed at the quarterback position it gets the bottle Washington to change directions find the first down quick snap Williams looking back finds Marcus Wiley for the quick completion he steps out of bounds [Applause] heba's williams covers up for an offensive line that struggles to protect the quarterback that mithoon Cookman they haven't given up any sacks to me they've had to sex today giving up to sex today on the carry up the middle a quaint songbird [Applause] is a gain of about just enough for the first down either way [Applause] that bastard's Pikachu and I've said it before in their band plays no like any other school I've seen in the country when the band gets into it the football team starts to make it happen Williams on the hand late equation bird as Marquis Bell number five for the Riddler's he isn't it boo player he likes to lay that wound that Bell the first year transfer from Coffeyville Community College they were so excited about him after week one on campus they said he's going to be an all-american and I said how do you know that's it you'll know [Applause] I thought there no review display they're gonna check for targeting we'll see what they have to say whether we come back look here at this targeting on the marquee spell and you see him Lord his shoulder leading with the crown of his helmet and they have confirmed the targeting call is disqualified for the remainder of this game his season is done that's a tough one but that was an obvious target and that can do damage to himself as well no use for using the helmet of the hands of Darryl Powell I mean this was the play here and this is where you need to be a little bit more accurate as a quarterback in college football you're open by three yards ahead of your defender don't put the ball in position where the defensive back can come back into the play he was open for a while but a little bit of a late throw the lab equipment jumps off sides again self-inflicted wound number 75 second [Applause] I mean this thing back-to-back plays one you should have had touchdown to you jump off side you don't have a field goal kicker so now you're looking at second and 15 the little things just keep hurting the dual Cookman while the regular Bates is particularly the latter part of the season twelve penalties in this game for bethune-cookman Jimmy Robinson in motion the handoff and wrapped up immediately that was Cameron Burton he was there throwing up the hooks to graduate out of Ocala Florida only allows one yard all the scientists he goes unblocked [Applause] great recognition by camera Bergen making the tackle for loss third and 14 from the nineteen [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the handoff and going with the ground game he when you don't have the kicker J and you're down by three do you like that call because Cameron Burt says like the second guess coordinators too often but it just doesn't make sense to me doesn't matter you all get the ball down there it's in a close game and three runs in this field going to tie this questionable now because this has got to be the max extent of the rain from Jonathan Thomas he's already made this one pushback Tim more the 35-yard Oh you feel a chain in the stadium more than 55 special [Music] coming up tonight at 7:30 Eastern Oregon and Arizona State go head to head over on ABC as the Ducks have won nine in a row since their week one loss to Auburn back in August also manhandled Arizona State much like with the equipment has done to Florida A&M in this last decade but the 13th wrestlers Xavier Smith it's a first down will send it down to Larissa Harris Methuen cook McGraw Pierre McDonald he was a game-time decision because we were told I was told rather that he injured his kicking leg his right ankle during practice so right before the game it was a difficult time for him so they decided to go with Jonathan Thomas who we've seen on double duty tonight serving as a right receiver and has the kicking person thanks so much Larissa pick me up question all game long why that was so we knew there was something that happened to the kicker but you got to tip your hat to Jonathan Thomas in the effort that he's put in who she made this he was a quarterback Roxy receiver I mean we've seen some two-way players on all levels really but especially it tough to do it we are pressed into a role like that second in eight six thirty and ticking to go and this ballgame Stanley to the right and this one is they took Marcus Williams out of bounds it'll bring up third down just as a quarterback that's just amazing me like all I'm looking for in a prophet of war you sing the watch I'm looking to see how many defensive lineman Bethune Cookman has on the field and when they have four D lineman top quickly Ryan Stanley gets rid of the football when they go with an exotic look he holds it he tucks it he'll run it but when he sees these Rinella looks at the 4-3 defense watch how quickly he makes his decision third and eight he has time finds man that's the time in Komori young he gets rid of it quickly they realize they're just playing corner coverage everybody's off and we'll assume it's a little bit disappointed there well that first half Brian Stanley had a hundred 450 for passing yards a couple of TVs and an interception in this second half just 42 yards but in there he was able to find the endzone and watch this Chris module this is where he can have an impact on the game we kick from tadoule nowhere to go and the ball is on the ground some kick catch interfere terms yes yes to give the receiver a chance to catch the ball and collect it and look like the Rattlers may have gotten there too soon after that 49 yard park from Chris module kick-ass interference there's nicotine here's the keys they're closed it has to go to the ball hits the ground so once he catches it he still has to have an opportunity after the Bible to catch the ball before it touches the turf and you'll see right there that's an easy call for the official to make the food cook was going to be giving 15 yards a better field position [Applause] I think interestingly enough you have a quick series for fan use offense and saw their defense who Harold now comes back onto the field [Applause] keep these noises with the pressure he gets it away but I tell you the pursuit up front from Isaiah land was good as I mentioned he's the game changer for Florida and them that defensive man that's quick enough to spike eva's Williams and change direction to make some plays get back to getting Jimmy Roberts of the ball and simplify the game get the ball to number one for the thumb cooking TBS Williams on the roll Marcus Reilly [Applause] and Riley who came up with a couple of good catches first hand gets them closer to that 39 yard line excuse me 41 yard line that's the line the game short yardage Gussie Williams under center for the first time in this football game this is a big third down you see a number of white jerseys coming up the tops to the outside sweep right like my flag football class now play quarterback first I had to learn to do was turn and spin the ball I'm scared to watch the quarterback he got turned his back to the defense we don't like doing that good job getting out front they brought in the full-back Jeremy Beauchamp picked up the first down play Sean bird scary remains in the backfield the handoff again to bird and bird is stopped by the bond trail or the fifth year senior out of Tampa Florida sets the edge in the run game but there he said don't try to come through me and the bill needs an energy right now they need a spark it's a man come on man you guys are part of program down there Daytona Beach they need to get our man to their seats start making some noise and Adam szubin the offensive coordinator needs to figure out a way to get the ball to number one he's lined up in the slot right now second from the top Williams gets it out Jefferson along with Troy Hilton giving pursuit to step on Francois short game third down [Applause] [Music] crucial time here you don't need to pick it all up three minutes left I think this is four down territory Jimmy Robinson trotting back onto the field who's going to be in that slot position to the top of your screen [Applause] he's in motion they gained the carry and a strong ride bike way Sean bar and when they leave in him he's been able to confirm a couple of first downs on this Drive the cool showing a fight here in the fourth corner that's been missing a little bit been a tough year for the Wildcat faithful foot unit but they're the best racquetball this game Tiffany three minutes to go hear from the four classic Nikias Williams Elijah Richardson who nearly the set but Williams fortunate to get it away and this second down the sack so credit hours your Richardson with the sack Wow they call them in the grass he's gotta we see William to get away a couple times [Applause] [Music] [Applause] a close one meanwhile for Elijah Richardson in his final Ford a classic an outstanding young man in this program as de montreuil more has the attention of those trainers he's able to get off under his own power and truck to the sideline so bethune-cookman that is their third penalty in football games with that many penalties particularly not against the number one team an HBCU football right now Eliza Richardson [Applause] working on a separate degree with two kids let the team in tackles season hits a fan use third sack of the night now second way to go for the thing Cookman Williams [Applause] does that sipper combination describe the free safety run Francois down the sea kiba's Williams with the huge completion [Applause] the food cook then was able to convert a second and 25 they find themselves [Applause] I got two words Tiffany Florida class [Applause] [Music] and that does it 31 2017 remaining a 15-yard expired touchdown by Isaac Washington [Music] this is a career-defining bestie down for just over two minutes to go verse beaten bethune-cookman in the last eight drives damn you with a perfect all the last time they've gone nineteen [Applause] George welcome to to the 40-yard line and excellence started field for I instead we've talked so much [Applause] the ups and downs of the this team better back excuse me to the celebration bowl blacks came up short here [Applause] could be the final drive of the game [Music] [Applause] on the same page with as in de ray and J you and I have talked about maybe not the signature win in terms of big blow outs but they have come up with some all important key wins including taking down to the finding celebration bowl champs five victories for the Rattlers of Kumbha touchdown or less that's not leaving a lot of room for error they been in this situation before so far 2019 and come away victorious instance [Applause] to his right tomorrow young but a marker [Music] what [Music] [Applause] you second and now it gets a little tougher for Willie Simmons food this is gonna be on the fifty-four [Music] that's holding tough break [Applause] and now second and twenty man finds that soft spot the past complete to Marcus Williams and he gets wrapped up with the Bethune Cookman player near midfield that was a catch of 17 yards great job delivering the football by Ryan Stanley [Music] third and three Devon James he drops it spork down then your season is on the line with this play right now but Bronx flip the script you want this moment you want the ball again team trailer rather than being on the sidelines we have an opportunity to make the plane the submit your legacy take it step by step seize the moment don't run away can you tune for two Allport down exotic look from bethune-cookman defense change excited you have been confusing Ryan Stanley off football game Cookman is a minute 25 seconds away [Applause] devon james Fallows his eyes and makes the interception whoa turnovers today two interceptions in Stanley remember earlier I said they caught that timeout earlier on first down instead of the delay game this more important now those five yards that they would have lost or having that third time out with the minute 25 [Applause] go back to previous Florida classics [Music] has been in this position before Antigua Richardson habit and last year this one hurt and Peter's with the pick-6 the celebration old devil jams cookin [Music] remaining [Applause] [Music] who saw this coming only thing that bethune-cookman hand and their grass was the number eight and they could get number nine and they fought I mean think about the food cooked with season as a whole over the week they win the Man swag challenge but then there's a hurricane man to evacuate the campus they have to stay in Atlanta for an extra week the news Clark Atlanta's practice facility then they lose their locker room because of the mold and it gets destroyed because of that the Wildcats have persevered through it all it's been a long season what they like to say around there they tone as the end of the day they're gonna show the Wildcats did their finest hour and Terry Sims [Music] given his demeanor because made it's allowed them to get to this point where they are I know this victory they can hold off this is going to be extra special to him for him for the top of he's done know he's proud of that team right there they are minted 21 away a couple plays pulling off a huge upset on second and five to carry up the middle of the drum we have to credit not only Terry Sims and this bethune-cookman football team
