>>> IF YOU DO, YOU GOT TO LOVE THIS GUY, CHIEF OSCEOLA. RODE IN ON RENEGADE. A THREE AND A HALF HOUR DRIVE AWAY FROM THE SEMINOLES' HOME. TO HOLLY. >> Holly: HEY, COACH, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE IMPORTANT TRAITS THEY WERE DEVELOPING. WHAT TRAITS ARE YOU MANAGING FOR SUCCESS. >> THE CROWD, AND YOU'RE GOING HAVE TO DO THE LITTLE THINGS THE RIGHT WAY. CAN'T HAVE TURNOVERS LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR IN THE OPENER. WE'VE GOT TO MAKE THE LITTLE PLAYS. LONG THEY SETTLE INTO THE GAME, DO THE LITTLE THINGS THE RIGHT WAY, WE'LL BE FINE. >> JADEN DANIELS, HE DID WELL, HOW HAS HE EVOLVED AS A PASSER? >> I THINK CONFIDENCE AND POISE. THOSE THINGS TAKE SOME TIME, AND HE KNOWS OUR OFFENSE SO MUCH BETTER. >> Holly: THANK YOU, COACH. >> LAST YEAR'S GAME IN THE SDOEM W SDOE THE SUPERDOME WAS VERY COMPETITIVE. VERY SLOPPY. BOTH TEAMS EXPECT THEIR TEAMS TO IMPROVE ON IT. >> FITZGERALD DRIVES IT TO THE END ZONE. AND LSU WILL START FROM THE 25 YARD LINE. HERE IS JADEN DANIELS. GOT BETTER AS THE SEASON WENT ON, KIRK. A LOT MORE FROM THE STRUCTURE OF THE OFFENSE. HE PLANS TO STAY IN THE POCKET. DOESN'T MEAN HE CAN'T GET OUT AND REALLY HURT THE NOLES WITH HIS LEGS. >> Kirk: BY THE TIME HE GOT TO THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON HE HAD SETTLED IN AND BECOME A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT QUARTERBACK. ALSO THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR ADJUSTED TO HIS SKILL SET. DLO >> Chris: DOESN'T MAKE MANY MISTAKES. PLAY ACTION ON FIRST DOWN. FLIPPED OUT OF THE BACKFIELD. AND THE CATCH IS MADE AND RUNNING FREE IS TRE BRADFORD, HUGE GAIN, STILL ROLLING DOWN NEAR THE 20 YARD LINE. DEM BRO DEMBROCK DREW UP A BIG ONE. >> Kirk: SEE THAT LINEBACKER TIED UP WITH MASON TAYLOR. NOBODY TO PECK UH TICK UP THE B. >> Chris: DANIELS ON THE MOVE. FLIPS IT SHORT TO TYLER, AND BANG, DOWN INSIDE THE 5 YARD LINE. >> Kirk: LOVE THIS AGGRESSIVE LOOK BY LSU, ATTACKING HERE. GET THE BALL INTO THE PLAYMAK MAKEMA MAKER'S HANDS. WEIGH SAW WH WE SAW WHAT HE COULD DO LAST YEAR. NICE EASY READ NFOR DANIELS. >> Chris: FIRST AND GOAL, A MINUTE IN. THEY'RE PRETTY DEEP IN THAT AREA. RIGHT AWAY, HE MAKES THE BIGGEST PLAY OF THE OPENING SERIES. >> Kirk: MIKE DEM BROCK SAYING THEY HAVE THE TRANSFER FROM PENN STATE, WITH LOGAN DIGGS OUT, THEY'RE GOING TO RELY ON TRE BRADFORD. STARTED AT LSU, WENT TO OKLAHOMA AND CAME BACK. AND YOU CAN SEE HOW FAST HE IS IN SPACE. >> Chris: THIS IS JOSH WILLIAMS, THE 200 POUNDER IN THE GAME NOW. DANIELS MAKES A CAN CUT. HE IS WRAPPED UP IMMEDIATELY ON THE EDGE BY PATRICK PAYTON. AND A FLAG COMES OUT ON THE TACKLE. DID THEY GET OVERAGGRESSIVE? >> Kirk: THAT WHISTLE BLEW, AND THEY TOOK HIM ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND. THE HEAD REFEREE THROWS THE FLAG. >> Chris: DERRICK ANDERSON IN CHARGE AFTER BIG 12 CREW. SAME THAT WORKED LAST YEAR'S CONFERENCE IN NEW ORLEANS. >> Kirk: PAYTON MAKE AS GREAT PLAY. DID NOT STOP. >> Referee: AFTER THE PLAY, PERSONAL FOUL. UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS TO 11. DEFENSE. AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN. >> Chris: INSTEAD OF THIRD AND GOAL AT THE FIVE, THEY GET A FRESH SET OF DOWNS AT THE TWO. >> Kirk: THIS DEFENSE AWARE OF NOT THE BACK, BUT THE QUARTERBACK DOWN INSTHIED TIDE N YARD LINE. NOT THAT IT WAS PHYSICAL, MALICIOUS, BUT IT WAS JUST SO LATE THEY TO MAKE THAT CALL. >> Chris: POWER FORMATION. THERE IS NO FLAG, AND WILLIAMS GETS NOTHING. >> Kirk: HOW ABOUT FLORIDA STATE BOWING UP HERE. THEY'VE GOT TO DO IT TWO OR THREE MORE DOWNS, DEENDING ON WH DOOEPDING ON WHAT LSU DECIDES TO DO. HE'S GOT THE DECISION TO RUN IN IN OR FIND AN OPEN >> Chris: DANIELS SURVEYING, PLAY CLOCK DOWN TO SEVEN. GOT TO HURRY HERE. STILL MOTIONING, AS IT'S THREE, TWO. DOES HE SEE IT? I DON'T KNOW IF HE GOT IT OFF. THROW IT IN THE END ZONE. IT'S INCOMPLETE, BROKEN UP OVER THERE, INTENDED FOR MALIK NABERS. >> Kirk: I THINK HE DID GET IT OFF. HE DIDN'T PUT ENOUGH AIR UNDER IT. AS SOON AS THE BALL'S THROWN, HE POINTED UP AS IF TO SAY "GET THAT UP IN THE AIR, GIVE ME A CHANCE". HE JUST THREW IT TOO >> Chris: NEIGHBORE >> Chris: DANIELS, DELIVER INTO THE END ZONE. CATCH MADE, BUT OUT-OF-BOUNDS! IT WAS NAY BERS. AND NOW AN EARLY DECISION. >> Kirk: FOOT'S ALREADY OUT OF BOUND. A GREAT CALL BY THE OFFICIALS. THEY'RE GOING TO GO FOR IT. >> Chris: MARCHED RIGHT DOWN THE FIELD, BUT IT HAS BEEN TOUGH TO GET THE LAST COUPLE OF YARDS. WILLIAMS IS THE BACK. TIME RUNNING DOWN, AND THEY'LL HAVE TO SPEND ONE. DID NOT LIKE WHAT THEY SAW. MATCHUP AGAINST FSU'S DEFENSE. WE'LL TAKE A BREAK. EARLY DRAMA HERE IN ORLANDO. MA . DE >> Chris: FOURTH DOWN FROM THE TWO YARD LINE, DANIELS, SCANNING, TRYING TO CREATE, HE'LL BE DROPPED BACK AT THE 15. THE SACK IS MADE BY DJ LUNDY. TWO YARD LINE, DANIELS, SCANNING, TRYING TO >> IT WAS FIRST AND GOAL AT THE TWO. THEY WENT BACKWARDS FROM THERE. >> Kirk: SIX PLAYS INSIDE THE FIVE YARD LINE. THEY BRING THE BLITZ. ADAM FULLER SAYS, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE GOING TO BE AGGRESSIVE. WATCH THIS JOB OF COMING AFTER HIM. JOSH WILLIAMS STEPS UP TO ACCOUNT FOR IT. HE GOES RIGHT OVER TOP OF HIM AND GETS UP OFF THE GROUND. SHOWS THE ATHLETIC ABILITY AND DESIRE TO COME UP WITH THAT SACK IN A CRITICAL MOMENT EARLY THIS THIS GAME. GREAT PLAY BY LUNDY. >> Chris: HE'S AN AMAZING ATHLETE. THE SACK KEEPS US SCORELESS. WHAT A STAND. AND THE BAYOU BENGALS CAME OUT THROWING HAYMAKERS IN THE FIRST COUPLE PLAYS. JORDAN TRAVIS AND HIS FIRST PLAY OF THE SEASON, ZIPS IT SHORT. AND THE CATCH IS MADE BY JAHEIM BELL, THE DO EVERYTHING TRANSFER FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET HIM INVOLVED IN EVERYTHING EARLY. THEY WEREN'T KIDDING. FIRST PLAY. >> Kirk: THEY'VE GOT TO BE ECSTATIC ABOUT HAVING A TALENT SHRIKE BEL LIKE BELL. HIS 47th START TONIGHT. IT'S HIS COMPOSURE THAT GOES ALONG WITH HIS ABILITY TO MAKE QUICK PLAYS AND ALSO BE ABLE TO IMPROVISE. >> Chris: ON THE RUN, WHERE HE'S SO DANGEROUS. ZIPS IT HIGH, TRIED TO GET THE BALL TO KEON COLEMAN. A LITTLE TOO MUCH ADRENALINE THERE. >> Kirk: THE FIRST TRANSFERS, WHEN YOU TALK WITH THE FLORIDA STATE COACHES, THOSE ARE THE FLAMES O NAMES OUTSIDE JORDAN TRAVIS THEY WANT TO BRING UP RIGHT AWAY, WHAT THIS OFFENSIVE PRODUCTION CAN DO. >> Chris: 214 COMBINED STARTS, BY FAR THE MOST. WHO'S GOING TO WIN THE BATTLE UP FRONT. THERE'S A FIRST CLUE HERE ON THIRD AND FIVE. TOA FEELY. AND HE SQUEEZES THE BALL IN TO JOHNNY WILSON. THE GUY WITH THE BIG WINGSPAN. A RED ZONE WEAPON GOES DOWN LOW AND MAKE AS TOUGH CATCH. >> Kirk: GOES IN MOTION, CREATES MAN, FIND AS GOES LOW TO MAKE THE CATCH FOR THE FIRST DOWN. >> Chris: COLEMAN COME'S CROSS THE FORMATION, AND THEY HAND IT OFF INSIDE. HARD YARDS IN THERE TONIGHT. PERKINS MADE THE HIT. >> Kirk: TOA FILLI. THIS IS BASED ON THEIR ABILITY TO RUN THE FOOTBALL. THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET THEIR SAFETIES DOWN IN RUN SUPPORT, CREATE THE ONE ON ONES AND ATTACK DOWNFIELD. >> Chris: TRAVIS, YOU SAID, SECOND NATURE. KNOWS SO MUCH ABOUT THIS OFFENSE. VERY CALM BACK THERE. PICK UP THE PRESSURE, AND, AGAIN, FINDS WILSON IN SPACE, AND THAT'S A SECOND FIRST DOWN CATCH FOR THE BIG FELLA. BALL MOVES TO THE 46. >> Kirk: WATCH HIM LOOK LEFT. MOVES TO THE DEFENSE. HE KNOWS HE'S GOING TO COME BACK TO THE BIG MAN AT 6'7". SOFT SPOT IN THE ZONE THE AND, AGAZONE. BUT HE SITS IN THAT POCKET, MAKES QUICK DECISIONS AND GETS THE BALL OUT. >> Chris: THEY FAKE IT TO WE BENSON. IT WAS COLEMAN, BUT THERE'S A GL FLAG DOWN. THE THROW WAS OFF TARGET. >> Kirk: I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN DOWNFIELD, WHERE THERE WAS HOLDING BY LSU. >> Chris: I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN OFFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE. >> Referee: PASS INTERFERENCE, NUMBER 14, OFFENSE. 15-YARD PENALTY. REPLAY FIRST DOWN. >> Chris: TRYING TO CLEAR OUT SPACE DOWN THERE FOR HIS BUDDY. >> Kirk: LIKE YOU SAID, HE'S TRYING TO BLOCK. HE THOUGHT THAT BALL MAYBE WAS ALREADY OUT. I SAW THE REACTION ON THE BACKSIDE. WATCH AS HE RUNS RIGHT THROUGH HIM RIGHT THERE. I SAW THE DEFENDER GRAB ON, BUT I DID NOT SEE THE INITIAL CONTACT THAT WILSON CREATED. >> Chris: OFFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE ONE OF THE MOST DAMAGING PENALTIES, FIRST AND 25 NOW. BENSON, FOLLOWS SOME BLOCKERS, AND TREY BENSON, ONE OF THE TOUGHEST GUYS TO TACKLE. ONE OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY, KIRK, AT YARDS AFTER CONTACT A YEAR AGO. >> Kirk: AND IT'S BECAUSE OF THAT LOWER BODY. HE'S ONE OF THE MORE PHYSICAL BACKS IN THE ACC AND THAT TIME HE HAD GREAT BACKS UP FRONT. A BETTER OFFENSIVE LINE. >> Chris: THEY GOT 11 ON THE FIRST RUN. SO SECOND AND 14. BENSON MOVES TO THE SLOT. TRAVIS. ESCAPING, TRYING TO CREATE. FLIPS IT DOWNFIELD, AND GOING UP TO TRY TO MAKE A LEAPING CATCH WAS DESTYN HILL, THE SLOT RECEIVER. COULDN'T QUITE. >> Kirk: THE PICK THIBIG THING TO SEE, HAROLD PERKINS, THEY'RE TRYING TO PLAY HIM ALL FALL. HERE HE IS UP TOP TRYING TO GET PRESSURE. PRETTY GOOD JOB BY ROBERT SCOTT, TRYING TO JUST PUSH HIM, KEEP HIM UPFIELD TO GIVE HIS QUARTERBACK TIME TO THROW. PRETTY ACCURATE THROW. NICE JOB BY BROOKS, GETTING THAT RIGHT ARM IN THERE. >> Chris: PERKINS BECAME A PASS RUSH MONSTER. THIS TIME LAST YEAR, HE HAD A BAD PERSONNALTY. BLOSSOMED INTO ONE OF THE MOST AGGRESSIVE DEFENDERS. TRAVIS FLUSHED. LOOKING FOR HELP, DELIVERS UNDERNEATH. IT'S WILSON AGAIN, AND WILSON HAS NOW MADE THREE CATCHES, ALL OF THEM FOR FIRST DOWNS. FOR THE LSU 40. >> Kirk: THIS TIME YOU WONDERED WHERE THEY WOULD PUT PERKINS. HE'S NOT GOING TO BRING HIM HERE ON THIRD DOWN. HE'S GOT TO TRY TO KEEP THAT QUARTERBACK, AS HE COMMITS TOO FAR, LETS JORDAN TRAVIS CREATE. AND THEY FIND THAT OPEN MAN. YOU SAID POTENTIAL DRIVE KILLER, AND THEY GET THE FIRST. >> Chris: TRAVIS HAS BEEN DIALED IN. CATCH MADE BY COLEMAN, DION COLEMAN, HIS FIRST TOUCHDOWN AS A SEMINOLE! 40-YARD STRIKE. WHAT A SECRET FOR LSU. THE GOAL LINE STAND AND THEY SCORE IN THEIR FIRST POSSESSION. >> Kirk: FLORIDA STATE FANS, THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED TO CEMESEE. KEON COLEMAN, A HECK OF A THROW RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO MAKE THE PLAY AFTER THE CATCH. YOU CAN SEE HOW NIFTY HE IS, WALKS INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. >> Chris: RYAN FITZGERALD FOR THE P.A.T. HE CHOSE MICHIGAN STATE BECAUSE OF TURMOIL IN TALLAHASSEE. BUT WHEN THINGS HAD SETTLED DOWN, HE CAME TO MIKE NORVELL AND MAKES AN INSTANT IMPACT. . >> Chris: MIKE NORVELL SAW JORDAN TRAVIS WHEN HE WAS ANYTHING BAUGH ESTABLISHUT AN E STARTER. GO DOWN AND LOOK AT THE THREE HEISMAN TROPHIES. THERE'S NO REASON WHY YOU CAN'T DO THAT. HE HAS BLOSSOMED INTO EXACTLY THAT, A CONTENDER. 86-YARD DRIVE IN NINE PLAYS AFTER THE FOURTH DOWN STOP BY THE SEMINOLE DEFENSE. LSU HAS EMBRACED THIS SUNDAY OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND. OF COURSE THE MATCHUP WITH THE NOEL NOLES. AND CHECK OUT WHAT'S COMING UP A YEAR FROM NOW. SUNDAY LABOR DAY. I LIKE THAT ONE. USC OFF TO A GREAT START. CALEB WILLIAMS, HE MIGHT THROW FOR A HUNDRED TOUCHDOWNS THIS YEAR. AND THEY MIGHT NEED A LOT OF POINTS TO KEEP WINNING, BY THE WAY. >> Kirk: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? HOW MUCH FUN IS THE PAC-12 GOING TO BE IN THEIR LAST YEAR THIS YEAR. WHAT COLORADO DID THE OTHER DAY. OREGON LOOKING GREAT. WE KNEW THEY A GREAT TEAM. YOU HAVE SEVEN TEAMS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE LEGIT. >> Chris: SAW UTAH BEAT THE GATORS. UNDEFEATED SO FAR. DANIELS ESCAPES. MAKES A CUT, AND SOMEHOW ELUDES TRAFFIC. THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO GET KNOCKED DOWN BEHIND THE LINE. HE MAKES TWO BEFORE PATRICK PAYTON GOT HOME. >> Kirk: PRETTY GOOD PUSH UP THE MIDDLE, JOSHUA FARMER, BIG FELLA SHOWING SOME STRENGTH. LSU GOING FAST HERE. >> Chris: DANIELS GETS IT OFF JUST BEFORE HE'S HIT, AND THE CATCH IS MADE THERE BY BRIAN THOMAS. YOU'RE REQUESTING YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE YOUR EYE ON DANIELS TO SEE IF HE HANGS IN THE POCKET MORE THIS YEAR. >> Kirk: ONE THING THEY LEARNED ABOUT HIM, THEY LOVE TO SPREAD DEFENSES OUT AND JUST LET FIVE PLAY IN SPACE. LET HIM MAKE QUICK READS AND EITHER HAS THE OPTION TO MAKE A GOOD THROW. OR WITH ALL THAT SPACE, CAN HE TAKE OFF AND RUN. >> Chris: THE FORMER NITTANY LION IS IN THE BACKFIELD. RUNS RIGHT INTO A GARNET WALL. THE KNOWLNOLES ARE SENDING A ME, IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGH TO RUN THROUGH THE MIDDLE. THERE'S BRADEN FISKE. YOU GOT HIM, FABIEN LOVETT FROM MISSISSIPPI STATE. TATUM BETHUNE COMES OVER FROM UCF. HE'S BEEN A STALWART LEADER. >> Kirk: FISKE A MONSTER. >> Chris: THAT'S BETHUNE FILLING THAT TIME. AND IT'S GOING TO BE THIRD AND LONG. >> Kirk: WHEN YOU HAVE FISKE AND LOVETT AND YOU'RE ABLE TO ROTATE INSIDE THERE, YOU TALK ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE THEY HAVE AT LINEBACKER, ADAM FULLER, TALKING TO HIM, IN THEIR FOURTH YEAR AT FLORIDA STATE, YOU CAN SEE THE INTENT TO TRY TO BECOME MORE PHYSICAL. NOT JUST THE ATHLETIC ABILITY ON THE EDGE AND DEFENSIVE BACKS. IT'S WHERE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE THAT MAKES THEM A REAL THREAT AT THE DEFENSE. >> Chris: PACKAGE ON THIRD AND SEVEN. DANIELS AGAINST A FOUR-MAN RUSH DOES HAVE TIME. GETS THE BALL OUT APARTMENT CATAND TH AND THE CATCH IS MADE. AND THE CATCH IS MADE. THOUGH IS A REDEMPTION GAME FOR MALIK. >> Kirk: NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, HE'S FIRED UP ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY. THERE'S THE TIMING >>> THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN LSU A YEAR AGO WHEN THEY PLAYED IN THIS GAME AND WHERE THEY ARE NOW. ALL THOSE REPS. THE TIME THAT JADYDEN DANIELS HS HAD TO WORK WITH. COULD YOU SEE THAT TIMING WAS PERFECT. >> Chris: JOSH WILLIAMS. HE TOOK A LOOK AT THE BACK AND SPRINTS UP THE MIDDLE. AND DANIELS KNIVES INTO THE SECONDARY, FIRST DOWN. INSIDE THE 35. HOLLY? HOIPE. >> Holl >> Holly: THEY WERE FIRED UP. LOOK FOR THEM TO KEEP ATTACKING ON THAT RIGHT SIDE. VERSE AND LUNDY POINTING THAT OUT TO THEIR TEAMMATES. >> Chris: JARED VERSE IF GIVEN A CHANCE COULD BE A GAME WRECKER. HE WAS A MONSTER A YEAR AGO IN THIS GAME. DANIELS, CALMLY IN THE POCKET AND DELIVERS A POOR THROW OVER THE HEAD OF JOSH WILLIAMS, WHO HAD A LOT OF A LITTLE BIT KEYED UP. THAT WAS A POTENTIAL BIG GAINER. BRADFORD IS THE BACK. DANIELS, LOOKS AND FINDS A RECEIVER ON THE EDGE. AND THAT'S KYRON LACY. AND HE WEAVES HIS WAY DOWN NEAR THE GOAL LINE. STOPPED JUST SHORT. DYNAMIC WITH THE FOOTBALL! MADE THAT A MUCH BIGGER PLAY THAN IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE, SLIPPED THE TACKLE. >> Kirk: SHOWED GREAT BALANCE AND WHAT A THROW THERE BY DANIELS, AND THE EFFORT, THAT HEEL STAYS UP. >> Chris: THEY PLAY FAST AND SCORE. TRE BRADFORD, BARRELS IN. AND THE BAYOU BENGALS ANSWER WITH A 75-YARD DRIVE. >> Kirk: I THINK WE WERE TAKING A PEEK JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT HEEL WAS UP. AND TO ME ON THAT ROW PLAY EPLA. THIS TIME THEY'RE ABLE TO PUNCH IT IN. BUT WHAT AN EFFORT. LET'S REMEMBER THAT EFFORT THERE BY KYRON LACY, WHAT HE DID TO, NOT JUST KEPT THE BALL BUT FOUGHT FOR THOSE EXTRA YARDS TO TAKE HIM DOWN BY THE GOAL LINE. >> Chris: THE RECEIVING CORPS OF LSU. MINUS KAYSHON BOUTTE. THEY'RE LOOKING FOR BETTER POSSESSION GROUP. >> Kirk: I LIKE THAT GROUP. NABERS GETS MOST OF THE HEADLINES. THEY'VE GOT A TRANSFER IN ANDERSON. YOU THROW IN MASON TAYLOR AT TIGHT END. >> Chris: DAMIAN RAMOS WHO THAT THAT. >> PAT A YEAR AGO. >> Kirk: THIS TIME THE OFFENSIVE LINE OPEN UP ENOUGH ROOM TO >> Chris: IF YOU'RE ABLE, WE HOPE YOU'LL CONSIDER HELPING FOLKS AFFECTED BY HURRICANE IDALIA, DONATE AT RED CROSS.ORG/ESPN TO HELP THE RED CROSS RESPOND AND HELP PEOPLE RECOVER. TONIGHT'S WEATHER, 81 DEGREES. PLEASANT, COMPARED TO WHAT THESE TEAMS ENDURED IN TRAINING CAMP. THIS IS ALMOST LIKE ARCTIC CONDITIONS, RIGHT? >> Kirk: THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE SAYING DOWN THERE BEFORE THE GAME. "THANKS FOR BRINGING THE COLD FRONT IN." MEANWHILE, I'M SWEATING. >> Chris: THERE WERE TWO RUNS AND SEVEN PASSES BY TRAVIS. >> Kirk: A HECK OF A JOB OF WHAT FLORIDA STATE D GETTING THE BALL TO BIG JOHNNY WILSON. WHEN HE NEEDS TO EXTEND IT. FINDS WILSON AGAIN, AND THEN THE TOUCHDOWN TO ANOTHER BIG RECEIVER. THE TRANSFER FOR MICHIGAN STATE, KEON COLEMAN MAKING THE SAFETY SAM MISS AND INTO THE END ZONE. >> Chris: WILSON, COLEMAN AND BELL WERE FEATURED IN THE DRIVE. NONE OF THEM BEGAN THEIR CAREER AT FLORIDA STATE. BUT THAT'S THE NEW NORMAL IN THE SPORT. >> Kirk: A LOT OF IN-BREAKING ROUTS, DIGS, CROSSING ROUTS. >> Chris: DELAY, AND ZIP AND DROPPED UP THERE. THAT'S BEEN ONE OF THE KNOCKS ON WILSON. HE'LL MAKE THE ACROBATIC TOUGH CATCHES AND WILL SOMETIMES DROP THE EASY ONE. HE'S WORKED A LOT ON THAT IN THE OFF SEASON. >> Kirk: IT FELT LIKE THEY KNEW THE BALL WAS COMING. GOOD JOB BY JORDAN TRAVIS, ON THE SAME PAGE. I THINK HE STARTED TO PEAK A LITTLE BIT. STARTED TO LOOK DOWNFIELD AND STARTED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT SAFETY COMING TO HIT HIM IN IN MAJOR BURNS. >> Chris: TRAVIS, SCANS AND ROLLS AND PUTS IT SHORT. THAT'S BENSON OUT OF THE BACKFIELD, WHO WAS SPUN DOWN TO THE 33 AFTER A SOLID GAIN SET UP THIRD AND FREE. FORMER BEAVER MADE THE TACKLE. >> Kirk: HE WAS VERY CLOSE TO BEING ABOUT A YARD DOWNFIELD. HAD OFFENSIVE LINEMEN TO SET THAT UP. THEY WERE TEN, 12 YARDS DOWNFIELD. SO THEY CATCH A BREAK THERE. >> Chris: KEEPER! AND TRAVIS LOWERS THE SHOULDER, BUT HE DIDN'T GET THERE. STOPPED ABOUT A YARD SHORT OF THE MARKER BY GREG BROOKS AND HAROLD PERKINS AND IT'S FOURTH DOWN. >> Kirk: A GREAT JOB BY GREG BROOKS ANTICIPATING THAT. THAT WAS A HECK OF A COLLISION. THE SAFETY COMING TO MEET HIM, BUT GETS THERE BECAUSE HE REACTS SO QUICKLY, RIGHT THERE, GOES IN LOW AND PREVENTS THE FIRST DOWN. >> Chris: NOLES FANS GOT EXCITED FOR A SECOND. THEY THOUGHT NORVELL WAS GOING TO PUT THE OFFENSE ON THE FIELD BUT NOT FROM THE 34. MASS TRA MA KNOW, DIDN'T HAVE MUCH WORK LAST YEAR. NOLES WERE SO EFFECTIVE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO PUNT IT TOO OFTEN. GREGLY CLAYT GREGLI GREGORY CLAYTON IS BACK TO FIELD IT FOR THE BENGALS. >> Kirk: NABERS LAST YEAR HAD ISSUES. THAT'S A SORE SPOT. AT LEAST HE CAUGHT AT THAT. BARELY, BUT HE CAUGHT AT THAT. >> Chris: 51-YARD PUNT. YEAH, THIS IS A NABERS LOW LIGHTS. RIGHT IN THE BREAD BASKET. DROP ANOTHER ONE. AND AFTER THAT THE JOB WENT TO OTHER PEOPLE, AND HE WENT TO THE JOB OF CATCHING TOUCHDOWN PASSES. >> Kirk: BUT, AS YOU SAID, TO HIS CREDIT, HE DIDN'T GO IN THE TANK. HE USE THADD AND REAL HE USE THADD AND REALD THAT ANDN THINGS AROUND. >> Chris: A FLAG COMES OUT. THAT WAS NABERS RUNNING A ROUT AND DEFENDED BY GREEN. >> Kirk: HE LOOKED LIKE HE GOT AHOLD OF MAYBE THAT LEFT ARM. >> Referee: PASS INTERFERENCE. NUMBER 8, DEFENSE. BALL WILL BE PLACED AT THE SPOT OF THE FOUL. AND DRAW THE FIRST DOWN. >> Kirk: RIGHT THERE, THE HAND ON THE JERSEY, OH, YEAH. GOOD CALL. GREAT CALL BY THE OFFICIAL. >> Chris: AND VERY EASY TO SEE. >> Kirk: YEAH. REMEMBER THAT PLAY IN THE BACK OF THE END ZONE. THAT'S GOING TOOK GREAT MATCHUP. EIGHT ON EIGHT. >> Chris: GREEN, THE SENIOR FROM RIGHT HERE IN ORLANDO. BIG NIGHT FOR HIM. THROW IT TO THE SIDELINES. AARON ANDERSON IS A SPEEDSTER A VERY SMALL GUY TO NEW ORLEANS. THEY KNOCKED HIM DOWN. LSU WANTS THE FLAG, AND NOW IT COMES IN LATE. KEVIN KNOWLES SHOVED THE NOLES. >> Kirk: I THINK THOMAS HELD ONTO HIS GUY, AS THE BALL STARTED TO BREAK TO THE OUTSIDE OF HIM. >> Chris: THIS GROOU CRCREW, DE ANDERSON, THEY WORKED A GAME HERE THURSDAY NIGHT. THEY'VE GOT OUR SCHEDULE, THURSDAY, SUNDAY. >> Kirk: I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A HOLE THERE OR NOT. MAY HAVE OFFSET. >> Referee: THERE'S ONLY ONE FOUL ON THE PLAY. AFTER THE PLAY, PERSONAL FOUL, LATE HIT OUT OF BOUND, NUMBER THREE, THE DEFENSE. 15 YARDS ADDED TO THE END OF THE PLAY. FIRST DOWN. >> Chris: GOT A GREAT NAME TO PLAY FOR FLORIDA STATE. BUT THAT IS A COSTLY PENALTY. AS IT'S GOING TO MOVE THE FOOTBALL. >> Kirk: BRIAN THOMAS, TO ME, WHEN YOU SAW HIM WORKING OUTSIDE, WHEN THE BALL BOUNCED OUTSIDE OF HIM, POTENTIAL HOLD RIGHT THERE. >> Chris: LET THAT GO. >> Kirk: YEAH, THEY LET THAT ONE GO, BUT THEN HE GETS HIT OUT-OF-BOUNDS RIGHT HERE. >> THE OFFENSIVE HOLDING CALL U IT WAS BORDER LINE. DIDN'T HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE PLAY, SO I'M OKAY WITH THEM PICKING THAT FLAG UP. >> Chris: WOULD HAVE BEEN OFFSETTING IF THEY HAD CALLED IT. >> WOULD YOU HAVE HAD A LIVE BALL FOUL AND A DEAD-BALL FOUL. >> Chris: BALL NEAR MIDFIELD. LACY, THIS TIME CAN HE NOT ESCAPE THE TACKLE. MADE BY GREEDY VANCE. CO >> Kirk: NOLES DOING A GOOD JOB. YOU CAN SEE THEY HAD A FEW WORDS TOWARD THAT LSU BENCH. LANCE LOOKING AT KELLY HAD A FEW WORDS. >> Chris: KELLY'S NOT AFRAID TO GIVE IT BACK. DANIELS THROWS ACROSS THE MIDDLE. AND THAT'S BRIAN THOMAS. NOT GREAT TACKLING SO FAR BY THE SECONDARY AND NOW ANOTHER FLAG COMES OUT. THIS THING IS OVERHEATING QUICKLY. >> Kirk: THOMAS MAKE AS GREAT EFFORT. AND THEN YOU HAVE THOMAS WITH THE BIG HIT >> Referee: PERSONAL FOUL, UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS. NUMBER 54, DEFENSE. AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN. >> Chris: THEY GOT BYRON TURNER, SO A SECOND PERSONAL FOUL ON THE SERIES MOVES THE BALL INSIDE THE 25. >> Kirk: YEAH, IT'S ACTUALLY NOT ON THE BALL CARRIER. IT'S RIGHT THERE. >> Chris: YEAH, HE JUST THREW LACY TO THE GROUND. >> Kirk: YEAH. THREW HIM OR RAN THROUGH HIM. >> Chris: WOW, LACK OF POISE BIT SEMINOLES IN THIS SERIES HAVE JUST GIVEN LSU QUICK SCORING POSITION. 30 YARDS IN PENALTIES. THEY GAINED 33 WITH THE OFFENSE. PLAY CLOCK AT FIVE. DANIELS STILL HAS IT. STILL HAS IT. TRIES TO JUMP OVER PEOPLE! AND GETS ABSOLUTELY HAMMERED TO THE GROUND! MET IN MIDAIR BY BETHUNE, WHO JUST DROVE HIM DOWN. MAYBE NOT DO THAT AS A QUARTERBACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. >> Kirk: I KNOW HE'S AN ATHLETIC GUY. THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO, GO AIRBORNE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT DEFENSE, RIGHT INTO THE ARMS OF THE MIDDLE LINEBACKER. TIMES IT UP PERFECTLY AND GETS A GREAT HIT. A FREEBIE ON JORDAN DANIELS. >> Chris: WAVING OFF KNOW TALK OF A TARGETING. >> THERE WAS NO CROWD TO THE HELMET. >> Chris: SECONDS RUNNING DOWN ON THEIR EVENTFUL FIRST QUARTER. SEE IF THEY GET THE PLAYOFF, JU JUST. LOOPING THROW, INCOMPLETE. NO CHANCE TO MAKE A PLAY. DOUBLE COVERAGE THERE. NABERS, A LEAK OF HECK OF AN EF. SO LSU THREATENING SEVEN APIECE IN ORLANDO. GOOD FIRST QUART >> Chris: TIME FOR THE SECOND QUARTER. ESPN COLLEGE FOOTBALL ON THE CAMPING WORLD KICKOFF. GOOD YEAR, MORE DRIVEN. SEM KNOWL SEMINOLES HAVE NEVER LOST IN ORLANDO IN THEIR HISTORY. BOTH TEAMS ENDED THEIR SEASON IN BOWL GAMES, SEPARATE BOWL GAMES PLAYED ON THIS FIELD A YEAR AGO. THIRD AND SEVEN FOR DANIELS IF THIS PENALTY-AIDED DRIVE. >> Kirk: FIVE PENALTIES, 53 YARDS AND A QUARTER. I KNOW MIKE NORVELL IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT. >> Chris: THREE, KIRK, ON THIS DRIVE. WILLIAMS HAS IT IN THE HOLE, AND THEY RUN FOR IT AND ALMOST GET IT. DID HE GET KNOCKED DOWN SHORT? BRADEN FISKE RIGHT NEAR THE MARKER. THAT WILL BE SPOTTED. IT'S GOING TO BE SHORT. >> Kirk: LEFT SIDE OF THAT OFFENSIVE LINE OPENS THAT UP. REMEMBER HIM LAST YEAR AS A TRUE FRESHMAN CAME ON TO HAVE A GREAT YEAR. NOW JUST OPENED THAT HOLE UP AND GIVES THEM A CHANCE HERE ON FOURTH AND ONE. >> Chris: HERE WE GO, ANOTHER FOURTH AND SHORT. THE SACK BY LUNDY SNIFFED OUT THE FIRST THREAT. TWO TIGHT ENDS TO THE LEFT. INSTEAD IT'S DANIELS WITH A KEEPER! AND THEY SWARM HIM! ANOTHER FOURTH DOWN STOP BY THE SEMINOLES, SHAHEEM BROWN MADE THE TACKLE. THEY WERE READY FOR THE KEEPER. >> Kirk: NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, AND, AGAIN, THEY HAVE PREPARED ALL SUMMER, CONCERNED ABOUT THE QUARTERBACK'S ABILITY RIGHT HERE TO GET TO THE OUTSIDE. AND WATCH FLORIDA STATE'S DEFENSE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB HAVING AWARENESS. TIGHT END TAYLOR COMES AROUND, BUT NOBODY IS THERE ON THE OUTSIDE TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THAT EXTRA MAN, THE SAFETY HAD LOCKED HIMSELF UP. SHYHEIM BROWN, YOU SEE HIM THERE? BIT TIME YOU WA BY THE TIME YOU WANT TO THROW IT TO TAYLOR, THE DEFENSE HAD HIM DOWN. >> Chris: LOOKED LIKE A SELF-DESTRUCTIVE DRIVE. BUT ANOTHER FOURTH DOWN STOP. THEY'LL TAKE OVER ABOUT THE SAME POSITION THEY DID AFTER STOPPING THE TIGERS IN THE FIRST QUARTER AT THE 15. BENSON FROM THE PISTOL. THEY FAKE IT TO HIM. DANIELS IS CLOBBERED! JUST GETS THE BALL OUT, AND THE CATCH IS MADE BY KYLE MORLOCK. MIKAI WINGO IS THERE IN A HURRY! WOO! >> Kirk: WITH MAASON SMITH OUT, YOU HAVE THIS BIG GUY IN THE MIDDLE RIGHT HERE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A LOT OF PLAYS. WINGO WAS AN ALL AMERICAN LAST YEAR. STEPPED UP WITH SMITH. SO QUICK OFF THE BALL, 6'1", 295 POUNDS, NOT THE BIGGEST, BUT SHOWS YOU THERE HOW QUICK HE IS IN THE MIDDLE. >> Chris: BIG FELLA WEARING 18, AND THAT MEANS A LOT AT LSU. BENSON KNOCKED DOWN. IT WAS JACOB HESTER AND IT'S KIND OF GIVEN TO A GUY THAT HAS GREAT EFFORT AND OUTWORKS EVERYBODY, AND THEY GAVE IT TO BIG WINGO THIS YEAR. >> Kirk: WITHIN THAT PROGRAM, THAT'S AN INCREDIBLE HONOR, THAT AND NUMBER SEVEN. HAD A CHANCE TO SEE MATTHEW ON THE FIELD BEFORE THE GAME. AND HIS FAMILY. SO PROUD TO BE A GREAT FORMER PLAYER FOR THESE LSU TIGERS. EVERY TIME HE GETS A CHANCE, HE'S HERE. >> Chris: THIRD AND FIVE. COLEMAN MOTIONS OUT TO THE RIGHT. TRAVIS SCANNING, FLIPS IT UP UNDERNEATH AND THE CATCH IS MADE BY TOAFILI, WHO'S NUK OSNUCK OU BACKFIELD IN TRAFFIC. >> Kirk: THEY DO SUCH A GOOD JOB. IT BECOMES BACK YARD FOOTBALL. INSTEAD OF TAKING OFF, HE GIVES YOU THE THREAT. KIND OF THROWS HAROLD PERKINS, GIVING UT THREA GI GIVING YOU THE THREAT AND DIVISION DOWN THROW. >> Chris: YOU'RE HAPPY TO SEE NUMBER FOUR IN COVERAGE WHERE HE'S JUST AVERAGE. GETTING AFTER THE PASSER, HE'S ALL WORLD. TOAFILI DRIVES FORWARD FOR ABOUT THREE. >> Kirk: I BET A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CURIOUS TO SEE HOW THEY'RE GOING TO UTILIZE PERKINS. LAST YEAR HE WAS ELECTRIFYING. HE HAD MADE SO MANY BIG PLAYS. KEEP IN MIND, LAST YEAR HE WAS BEING AN ATHLETE AND LEARNING THE SYSTEM ON THE FLY. THEY KEPT HIM ON THE EDGE. THAT'S A GUY WHO PLAYED HIGH SCHOOL RUNNING BACK. DEFENSIVE END. SO HE'S LEARNING HOW TO PLAY THAT POSITION. THEY'LL STILL PUT HIM DOWN ON THIRD DOWNS WHEN THEY CAN. >> Chris: AND HE IS INCREDIBLY EFFICIENT. >>> HE DIDN'T HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF PASS, BUT HE MADE AN IMPACT. THERE WASN'T MUCH THERE, GET ABOUT A YARD. IT WILL BE THIRD DOWN AND MEDIUM AGAIN. AND NOLES FANS WANTED A FLAG THAT TIME. >> Kirk: THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR OUTNUMBERING THEM THERE ON THAT PLAY ON SECOND DOWN. GREG BROOKS CAME DOWN FOR THE THREAT OF THE QUARTERBACK, COMING OFF THE EDGE, AND THE BIG FELLAS IN THE MIDDLE TOOK AWAY THAT INSIDE RUN. >> Chris: THEY WERE 39% LAST YEAR. NOT BAD, BUT THAT DIDN'T MEET HIS STANDARD. COLEMAN MOTIONS ACROSS. TRAVIS, OH, ANOTHER DROP! OH, MY GOODNESS, JOHNNY WILSON FOR THE SECOND TIME TONIGHT HAS HAD AN EASY CATCH, AND HE HAD SPACE THAT TIME TO MOVE THE STICKS. >> Kirk: YOU SEE PERKINS FORWARD, THEY ARE NOT RUSHING HIM, THEY USE AGA / HE'S TAKING HIS EYES OFF THE BALL, MAYBE WORRIED ABOUT GETTING HIT. A LITTLE BIT BACKWARDS THERE, TRYING TO MAKE THAT CATCH. >> Chris: COMING UP TO MAKE A FAIR CATCH! A SCRAMBLE FOR THE FOOTBALL! LSU THINKING OH, NO, NOT AGAIN! RECOVERED BY AZARIA THOMAS. BUT THAT TIME IT WAS ANDERSON TROUBLE FIELDING THE PUNT >, WOW! >> Kirk: YOU TALK ABOUT SOMETHING TO A POINT WHERE IT BECOMES SOMETHING YOU START TO MENTALLY WORRY ABOUT. I KNOW THE FANS AND THE MEDIA KNOW ALL ABOUT IT, BUT INTERNALLY, I'M SURE BRIAN KELLY'S TRYING TO PUT THAT BEHIND THEM. BUT LSU, THE MISCUES FROM A YEAR AGO COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM HERE AND GIVE FLORIDA STATE GOOD FIELD POSITION. >> Chris: WE TALKED ABOUT GREGLY CLAYTON LAST TIME MAKING A VERY RISKY CATCH. THEY TOOK HIM OFF AND PUT IN ANDERSON WHO ALSO HANDLES THE KICKOFF RETURNS, AND THAT SETS UP TRAVIS AT THE 22. TRAVIS HAD THE PUMP FAKE, BLOWS IT INTO TRAFFIC AND GIVES IT RIGHT BACK TO LSU! POOR DECISION, AND THEY MADE HIM PAY. >> Kirk: THIS PLAY GOT BLOWN UP BECAUSE BROOKS BROUGHT A BLITZ FROM OUT LEHERE AND CREATES HESITATION. HE WANTED TO GET THE BALL OUT QUICKLY. BUT I DON'T THINK HE AND THE RECEIVER ARE ON THE SAME PAGE. HE PUMP FAKED. BIT TIME T HE SHOULD HAVE THROWN THAT BALL AWAY OR EATEN IT INSTEAD. >> Chris: BOTH STARTING QUARTERS, FROM THE PORTAL. CHESTNUT FROM SYRACUSE. A FIVE-STAR TRANSFER FROM A&M. DENVER HARRIS IS STILL TRYING TO FIGURE SOME THINGS OUT. HE WAS EXPECTED TO WELL, HE HE'S N WELL, HE'S NOT WITH THE TEAM. BACK TO BACK TURNOVERS AND THE TIGERS HAVE IT AT THE 26. KYRON LACY COULDN'T COME ONE IT. TRIED TO TURN UPFIELD AND LOST THE HANDLE. >> Kirk: NOBODY HAPPIER THAN AARON ANDERSON THAT THAT INTERCEPTION'S MADE BY CHESTNUT. GET THE BALL BACK TO JADEN DYDE DANIELS. >> Chris: DO YOU THINK THEY WILL CALM THE TEMPO DOWN? >> Kirk: I THINK IT WILL BE A MIX. IT WILL DEPEND ON THE FLOW OF THE GAME. >> Chris: DANIELS, HE'S GOT A BLOCKER. HE'S GOT SPACE AND THAT'S EASY YARDAGE FOR THE QUARTERBACK. SPRINTING OUT A COUPLE YARDS SHORT OF THE MARKER. >> Kirk: AGAIN, THAT'S THE THREAT THAT HE BRINGS. ANYBODY WE'VE EVER DEALT WITH THAT TRIES TO DEFEND H ALWAYS TAHIM, THEY TALK ABOUT THE OUTSIDE EDGE. WE DON'T WANT TO LET HIM BREAK CONTAIN BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH DAMAGE HE CAN DO ONCE HE GETS OUTSIDE. >> Chris: DANIELS WITH THE MOST PRODUCTIVE PASSING HE'S HAD IN HIS CAREER. 151 YARDS, ALSO ABLE TO RUN FOR 13 YARDS THAT. TIME IT'S BATTERED UP AND FALLS TO THE TURF. BUT PASS RUSH RIGHT IN THE FACE. AGAIN, ONLY FOUR. >> Kirk: THAT TIME PATRICK PAYTON, WITH HIS LENGTH, GREAT LENGTH, 6'5", GREAT ATHLETE, ABLE TO TIME THAT PERFECTLY TO KNOCK IT DOWN. >> Chris: AND THE NOLES COME UP WITH ANOTHER STOP. TWO FOURTH DOWN STOPS, KNEW THI NOW THIRD AND TWO. IMPACT PLAYER OFF THE EDGE, HE'S MIAMI NORTHWESTERN, A GREAT HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM. JAY BRAMBLETT TO PUNT IT. NOT PARTICULARLY GOOD. IT'S GOING TO BOUNCE AND GET A NICE LSU ROLL, AND IT'S COLEMAN WHO DID NOT COME UP AND FIELD T HE WAS NOT A PUNT RETURNER AT MICHIGAN STATE, NEW TO THE ROLE, AND THAT WAS NOT WHAT THEY WERE HOPING FOR, AS IT ROLLS DEAD ALL >> Chris: THIS IS A UNIQUELY COOL MOMENT. HE WAS PILOTING ONE OF THE F-15s. LOOK AT THE PRIDE IN HIS FACE. THAT IS AWESOME. WE KNOW IT'S YOUR BRO. >> Kirk: THAT'S GREAT. DON'T SEE THAT VERY OFTEN. FLYOVER WITH THE REFEREE. >> Chris: HAROLD PERKINS, IN THE OPINION OF THE OFFICIATING CREW, TOUCHED THAT PUNT. THEY SPOTTED THE BALL DOWN. THEY'RE CALLING IT DEAD THERE. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S SUPER CLEAR THAT IT HIT HIM IN THE LEG. BUT IT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ONE YARD LINE AND ABOUT THE EIGHT YARD LINE. THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE IT. >> Referee: REPLAY HAS LOOKED AT THAT AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO TOUCHING. THE BALL WILL BE PLACED AT THE ONE YARD LINE. IT WILL BE FIRST DOWN FLORIDA STATE. >> Chris: I DIDN'T GET THAT. GOOD USE OF REPLAY. >> Kirk: THAT'S A BIG DEAL. YOU STARTED TO REFERENCE THAT. THERE'S A REALLY GOOD SHOT THERE. THE FIRST SHOT, YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU REALLY COULDN'T TELL. THAT ONE YOU COULD TELL. GREAT JOB BY THE GUYS UPSTAIRS CALLING THAT DOWN. IF YOU'RE LSU FAN DEAL. >> Chris: SO TRAVIS GOT TO BE VERY CAREFUL. >> Kirk: THREE TIGHT ENDS HERE IN THE GAME. >> Chris: HAVEN'T HAD MUCH SUCCESS INTERIOR RUNNING GAME SO FAR. BENSON GETS ABOUT A YARD. >> Kirk: I MEAN, WE HONESTLY COULD JUST KEEP A CAMERA ON MEKHI WINGO THE ENTIRE GAME. HE IS GETTING A PUSH. AND WHAT I LOVE IS, HE S'S DOIN IT WITH HIS GET OFF. WATCH BIG NUMBER 18, HOW QUICKLY HE GETS OFF THE BALL. PUTTING A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE INSIDE HERE OF THIS FLORIDA STATE OFFENSIVE LINE WITH MAURICE SMITH IN THERE AT CENTER. >> Chris: HE'S ALWAYS GOOD, BUT I THINK EXTRA INSPIRATION, WEARING NUMBER 18 FOR THE FIRST TIME. QUICK STORY ON HOW MEANINGFUL THAT IS, BY THE WAY. TOAFILI, BLOCKING, AND TRAVIS GETS THE BALL OUT QUICK LIMIT HOWIE ROSEMAN, THE GM OF THE EAGLES SAID THEY ACTUALLY DRAFTED BENNY LOGAN IN THE THIRD ROUND IN PART BECAUSE HE WORE 18. THEY FIGURE WHAT HE MEANT TO LSU, THAT'S THE KIND OF GUY YOU WANT IN THE LOCKER ROOM. NOT THAT HE COULDN'T MAY, BUT THAT WAS A FACT FOOR. >> Kirk: THAT'S DNA OF THESE PROGRAMS. I THINK THAT SHOWS YOU THE RESPECT, WHAT THAT 18 REPRESENTS IS NOT JUST A GREAT LAYER BUT KRES PLAYER, BUT A GUY WHO BRINGS A LOT TO THAT LOCKER ROOM, AND WINGO IS THAT GUY THIS YEAR. >> Chris: SLOT AND LEFT. THEY HAVEN'T INVOLVED HIM SINCE THE OPENING PLAY, AND ONE OF THOSE PRE-SLAP DELAY OF GAME, THEY DIDN'T GET IT OFF QUITE IN TIME. >> Kirk: THEY GOT THE TIMEOUT I THINK. >> Chris: DID THEY? >> Kirk: YEAH. MIKE NORVELL FROM THE SIDELINE. KF. >> Referee: TIME OUT ON THE FIELD. >> Chris: PENALTY SAVES ABOUT FOUR YARDS. >> Kirk: WHENEVER YOU HEAR THAT FAST CLAP. THAT MEERANS HURRY UP CENTER. BRING IT. BOTH TEAMS HAVE SOME CRYSTAL BALLS IN THEIR TROPHY BUT THIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY IS THE COVETED PRIZE THIS YEAR. LSU'S LAST THREE HEAD COACHES HAVE WON NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. NO PRESSURE ON KELLY AT ALL. NOTE THE TIMEOUT. SOME TIME TO THINK ABOUT THIS THIRD AND FOUR. EMPTY BACKFIELD. LSU CROWDING THE LINE, WILL LAY IT BACK OUT. THEY RUSH FOR. TRAVIS ON THE END ZONE. POCKET COLLAPSING! AND HE LOFTS IT INTO THE AIR AND GREG BROOKS HAD A GREAT CHANCE TO PICK IT OFF. AND THE USUALLY POST QUARTERBACK HAS MADE A COUPLE OF SHAKY DECISIONS TONIGHT. >> Kirk: WE SAW THE INTERCEPTION IN THE LAST SERIES. YOU GOT TO ADMIRE HIM. HE WANTS TO MAKE A PLAY, BUT THERE'S JUST NOTHING HERE. THE PRESSURE COMES FROM HIS RIGHT. INSTEAD OF THROWING THIS BALL AWAY, HE THROWS IT UP INTO THE AIR. AS HE'S GETTING HIT, IT'S JUST KIND OF INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE DEFENSE. THEY'RE ABOUT TO INTERCEPT THAT BALL AT THE TEN YARD LINE. SOMEHOW IT FALLS TO THE GROUND. >> Chris: LATE OVER THE MIDDLE AND SOFTLY THROWN. THAT'S THREE KNNO-NOS. BOOTS IT. CLAYTON BACK, RETURNING PUNTS. THEY EXCUSE AARON ANDERSON FROM >> Chris: BOTH DEFENSES HAVE STEP UP, KIRK, SINCE THE OPENING TOUCHDOWN FOR THEIR OPPONENTS. >> Kirk: WHAT HAS BEEN AMAZING IS THE FLORIDA STATE DEFENSE. HAD A HECK OF A FOURTH AND GOAL AND THEY ENDED UP BLITZING HERE WITH DJ LUNDY. GOOD JOB THERE. AND REALLY JUST BEEN LSU MOVING THE FOOTBALL. BUT FLORIDA STATE SHORT YARDAGE BEING THE DIFFERENCE. >> Chris: THE ONE TOUCHDOWN, NOW THEY TAKE OVER NEAR MIDFIELD. AND HE ESCAPES, AND TDANIELS RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. MAKES A MAN MISS AND IS FINALLY DRAGGED DOWN AT THE 11! HE'S ELECTRIFYING. >> Kirk: UP TO THAT SECOND LEVEL. HE CUTS RIGHT BEHIND THAT. REALLY GOOD NATURAL FEEL THERE BY JAYDEN DANIELS. YOU CAN SEE WHAT HE CAN DO IN THE OPEN FIELD. >> Chris: MORE RUSHING YARDS THAN ANY OTHER FVS QUARTERBACK A YEAR AGO. NOW FINDS MASON TAYLOR. AND DON'T LOOK NOW, BUT LSU'S CLOSE AGAIN, INSIDE THE FIVE. >> Kirk: JAYDEN DANIELS MAKES A PLAY WITH HIS LEGS, MASON TAYLOR OUT IN THE FLAT. POSITIVE YARDS. WE JUST SHOWED YOU A PACKAGE ON THAT FLORIDA STATE SHORT YARDAGE DEFENSE, WHAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO TONIGHT. SEE HOW IT PLAYS DOWN HERE. >> Chris: SECOND AND THREE, KAIN CAIN IS IN THE GAME. IT'S FIRST AND GOAL BEFOJONES STOPPED HIM. >> Kirk: WORRIED ABOUT HIS LEG, GOOD TO SEE HIM UP. THEY GET THAT FIRST DOWN. INSTEAD OF RUNNING THE BACKS, THEY RUN THE QUARTERBACK. GET AT THAT EXTRA BLOCKER. >> Chris: THEY GET IT TO CAIN, AND HE'S HIT IMMEDIATELY. THAT SEMINOLE DEFENSE STOUT ON SHORT YARDAGE. OMAR GRAHAM STOPPED HIM. >> Kirk: GOOD SMASHIN SUBMARI SUBMARINING. >> Chris: THIS TIME HE DIVES INTO THE END ZONE! AND LSU TAKES THE LEAD, MAKING USE OF THAT GREAT FIELD POSITION. 50 YARDS IN FOUR QUICK PLAYS. THE 40-YARD QUARTERBACK RUN SETS IT UP. >> Chris: THIS TIME THE FLICK OF THE AT&T 5G. WATCH, THEY'RE ABLE TO GO UP AND OVER. COLLAPSE DOWN, PUSH HAGIVE HIM GO UP AND OVER. FINALLY LSU ABLE TO GET SOME POINTS, BEING INSIDE THAT FIVE YARD LINE. >> Chris: THEY LOOK TO CAIN, SCORED TEN TOUCHDOWNS A YEAR AGO. AND LSU WITH 6:02 BEFORE HALFTIME AND HAS TAKEN THE LEAD FOR THE WAY. 14-7, LSU, GOOD AS ADVERTISED SO FAR? >> KEY O WE HAVE A MONSTER MATCHUP. BACK TO YOU, CHRIS. >> Chris: BOOTS IT AWAY. GET THE AFLAC TRIVIA QUESTION FOR YOU. >> AFLAC! >> Chris: LAST SEASON OPENING WIN VERSUS A TOP-TEN OPPONENT. SO SEASON OPENING WIN. >> Kirk: VERSUS A TOP-TEN YOI OPPONENT. >> Chris: LSU WASN'T TOP TEN A YEAR AGO. THEY HAVE GOTTEN JORDAN TRAVIS A LITTLE RATTLED, KIRK. THREE FOR SIX, AND THAT SECOND QUARTER, AFTER A VERY EFFICIENT START TO THIS GAME. PRESSURE OFF THE EDGE AND THE COMPLETION HIT BEHIND THE LINE OVER THERE, COLEMAN, DUCE CHESTNUT WITH THE TACKLE. >> Kirk: THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT. LOOK AT ALL THESE PLAYS LSU'S HAD IN FLORIDA STATE TERRITORY. 19. OF COURSE WE'VE HAD SOME GOAL LINE STANDS. FLORIDA STATE ONLY TWO. >> Chris: BEHIND THE SIX ON SECOND DOWN. TRAVIS HAS TIME. NOW CHOOSES TO USE HIS LEGS. HE'S NOT GOOD SPEED, TOO. SLIDES DOWN. NOLES FANS WANTED A LATE HIT. BUT THERE IS NO FLAG, BUT THE TACKLER STILL DOWN ON THE FIELD. >> Kirk: A GOOD JOB OF NOT FORCING IT. T I THINK HE'S A LITTLE HESITANT OF TRYING TO FORCE THAT THROW. THAT'S WHAT THE FANS ARE EXCITED B THEY WANT THADD LAED THAT LAT. WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> I'M GOOD ON PASSING ON THAT. >> Chris: IT WAS CHESTNUT WHO GOT SLID INTO. A GUY WHO'S BEEN SO EFFECTIVE AT CORNER IS BEING LOOKED AT BY ATHLETIC TRAINERS. I THINK IT'S PROBABLY A SURPRISE FOR MIKE NORVELL. WE TALKED ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE OF JORDAN TRAVIS, HIS 38th GAME, PLAYED SIX YEARS OF FOOTBALL. 28 STARTER, AND AFTER A SHARP START TO THIS GAME. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE DECISION MAKING APPEAR AS LITTLE FOGGY FOR HIM RIGHT NOW. >> Kirk: HE'S LOOKED GREAT EARLY, PLAYING THE WAY WE EXPECT HIM TO PLAY. NOW I WANT TO SEE HOW HE REACTS TO A COUPLE MISCUES. HE HAD KEON COLEMAN BREAKING FREE TO THE OUTSIDE. INSTEAD OF MAKING THAT THROW HE HELD ONTO IT. JUST A VETERAN GUY, 27 CAREER STARTS, PLAYED A LOT OF BALL. I'D BE SHOCKED IF HE DOESN'T SETTLE IN. BUT BIG PART OF THAT, YOU HAVE TO RESPECT WHAT THEY'RE DOING DEFENSIVELY. >> Chris: A TRUE PRESSUREMAN FR FOR CHESTNUT ON THIS THIRD AND SIX. LSU BACKS OUT. NOW LATE PRESSURE OFF THE EDGE. IT'S PICKED UP. AND A DART ACROSS THE MIDDLE. THAT TIME, BIG FELL HA MAKES THE CATCH AND WILSON DRIVING FOLKS INTO TERRITORY. >> Kirk: A GREAT JOB FWHI OFFENSIVE LINE. THIS TIME, FORGET THE DUAL THREAT. THE LINE HELPS HIM OUT. GOOD READ AND A GOOD THROW. >> Chris: THERE'S A FLAG PRE-SNAP. THEY GO BACK TO WILSON, WHOSE TWO DROPS HAVE BEEN PART OF LSU'S OFFENSIVE DROPOFF. >> Referee: OFFENSE. FIVE-YARD PENALTY, FIRST DOWN. >> Chris: I'M GOING TO HAVE TO FEEL GOOD AFTER A COUPLE OF EASY ONES GOT AWAY FROM WILSON. CHESTNUT BY THE WAY, QUICKLY BACK IN THE GAME. THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR LSU FANS TO HAVE THEIR STARTING CORNER. >> Kirk: YOU PICK UP A BIG FIRST DOWN LIKE THAT AND GET A LITTLE MOMENTUM U AND THE CENTER FLIFR FLINCHING NOW. IT'S FIRST AND 15. >> Chris: TRAVIS FLUSHED AGAIN, RUNS TO HIS LEFT, MAKES A THROW ACROSS HIS BODY! AND THAT'S ANOTHER DROP. THIS TIME IT'S SHAHEEM BELL WHO HAD A LOT OF SPACE. WINGO WAS AFTER THE QUARTERBACK AGAIN. >> Kirk: BELL IS A PLAYMAKER, EYES DOWNFIELD. HE'S ABOUT TO GIVE UP ON THE PLAY, AND AT THE LAST SECOND HE SEES BELL, AND HE JUST, THIRD DROP, THESE ARE THEIR BETTER PLAYERS, AND JAHEIM BELL GROP WHAT IS WOULD HABELL DROPS WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FIRST DOWN. >> Chris: THEY FAKE TO HIM. TRAVIS GETS AROUND THE CORNER. AND WILL JUST DART OUT-OF-BOUNDS AFTER A SHORT GAIN. NO ONE OPEN THERE. CHESTNUT FORCED HIM OUT. THIRD AND LONG. >> Kirk: YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT DEFENDING THE RUN IN THE MIDDLE, THIS LSU DEFENSE AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING WITHOUT MAASON SMITH, WINGO LEADING THAT CHARGE. IT'S FORCING FLORIDA STATE TO MOVE THAT LAUNCH POINT. SO WHEN YOU MOVE THE QUARTERBACK YOU TAKE AWAY A ROFT TLOT OF TH FIELD. THEY'RE DOING A GOOD JOB OF TAKING AWAY THOSE RECEIVERS AND FORCING HIM TO RUN. >> Chris: NEED 12 ON THIRD DOWN. LSU RUSHING ONLY THREE, PLAYING COVERAGE. TRAVIS HAS PLENTY OF TIME AND DELIVERS A SHOT IN THE MIDDLE TO WINSTON WRIGHT JR., THE TRANSFER FROM WEST VIRGINIA. THEY DIDN'T COME AFTER HIM AND MADE HIM PAY. >> Kirk: THEY RUSHED THREE. SIT BACK WITH EIGHT IN COVERAGE. NICE JOB OF HAVING THE TIME. AND THERE'S A REALLY GOOD JOB BY TRAVIS. TOOK SOME TIME THERE, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO HIT IT. >> Chris: SHOWS HIS POISE AND EXPERIENCE, WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT THERE. 18-YARD GAIN TO CONVERT THE THIRD AND LONG. ON THE MOVE GOESBAAING TO H GOES MORLOCK PICKED UP ABOUT SEVEN. WINGO'S AFTER HIM AGAIN. THEY CAN'T BLOCK HIM. >> Kirk: HE'S A HANDFUL FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. BELL GETS MOST OF THE ATTENTION. SIX FROM FLORIDA STATE, BUT MORLOCK COMING OVER FROM SHORTER. >> Chris: HAPPENS TO BE IN GEORGIA, DIVISION TWO. >> Kirk: THE COMBINATION OF THOSE TWO TIGHT ENDS CAN REALLY HELP THIS OFFENSE. >> Chris: BENSON. STUTTER STEPS AND PLOWS FORWARD. HE'S SHORT OF THE MARKER. THAT WILL TAKE US DOWN INSIDE OF TWO MINUTES IN THE FIRST HALF. THIRD AND ABOUT A YARD AND A HALF NOW. >> Kirk: TOUGH SLED IN THE MIDDLE WITH WINGO INSIDE THERE. HE'S LINED UP RIGHT NOW ANYWAY OVER THAT RIGHT SIDE. >> Chris: SNEAK, TRAVIS FIGHTING, SECOND, THIRD EFFORT DOES GET THE FIRST DOWN OF THE 21. HE DIDN'T HAVE IT AT FIRST. >> Kirk: NO, WHAT AN EFFORT HERE. AGAIN, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ROOM THERE. HE'S JUST DETERMINED, JUST BOUNCING OFF OF GUYS. REMEMBER INSIDE TWO MINUTES WITH THE NEW RULES. THE OLD RULES COME INTO PLAY WHERE THE CLOCK WILL STOP AFTER A FIRST DOWN. >> Chris: LSU, WINGO JUST TRYING TO GET LINED UP HERE. THEY'RE PLAYING QUICK LIMLY. TENTH PLAY OF THIS DRIVE. MAYBE WEARING DOWN THIS LSU DEFENSE. >> Kirk: SHOWING PRESSURE TO THE LEFT. >> Chris: HOOPING THROW FOR THE END ZONE, BATTLE, COLEMAN, TOUCHDOWN! WENT UP AND GOT THE FOOTBALL OVER MAJOR BURNS, AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE EXCITED TO HAVE HIM ARRIVE FROM EAST LANSING. WHAT A PLAY! >> Kirk: I SAW THAT BRING THE TO THE LEFT. NOBODY THERE, STHREE RECEIVERS, ONLY ONE DEFENDER. IT WORKS OUT. YOU CAN SEE HIS FAMILY'S FIRED UP. MAJOR BURNS HAS PRETTY GOOD SIZE. HE'S 6'2" HIMSELF. THAT'S JUST SAYING, HEY, MY GUY'S BETTER THAN YOURS. HOPEFULLY HE'S OKAY. LOOKS LIKE HE MAY BE CRAMPING UP. HE'S GOING TO WIN THEIR 50/50 BALL. HE GOES UP AND HIGH POINTS FOR A TOUCHDOWN. A TRANSFER FROM MICHIGAN STATE. >> Chris: FROM 40 AND 21, THAT'S WHY HE WAS ONE OF THE MOST COVETED RECEIVERS OUT OF THE PORTAL. AND THE MINUTE HE GOT ON CAMPUS HE KNEW HIS REPUTATION. BUT WHEN HE STARTED TO WORK WITH HIM, HIM, HE'S LIKE, AH, I GOT A WEAPON. >> Kirk: HE GOES TO THE RIGHT, AND HE SAYS, YOU KNOW WHAT? I GOT THAT CUSHION. I TRUST THAT COLEMAN'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS PLAY. LOOK AT THE OFFENSE OF LINE. GIVING HIM JUST ENOUGH TIME, AND HE PUTS IT UP INTO THE AIR WHERE COLEMAN CAN HAVE A CHANCE TO ADJUST BACK EVEN THOUGH IT'S UNDERTHROWN A BIT. A TOUGH PLAY FOR A SAFETY. ONE ON ONE AGAINST A RECEIVER, EVEN THOUGH MAJOR BURNS, A LEADER, SECOND YEAR IN THIS DEFENSE. HECK OF AN EFFORT THERE BY COLEMAN. >> Chris: YOU SEE THE STRENGTH OF COLEMAN. TWO-SPORT ATHLETE AT MICHIGAN STATE. PLAYED SOME HOOPS FOR TOM IZZO. HE'LL HEAD TO THE LOCKER ROOM A LITTLE BIT EARLY TO GET THOSE LEGS CHECKED OUT. THE CRAMPS DEALT WITH. BUT TRAVIS IMMEDIATELY IMPRESSED. HIS TEAMMATES WOWED. THEY KNEW OF HIS REPUTATION AS A RECEIVER. THEY WEREN'T SURE UNTIL HE GOT TO TALLAHASSEE EXACTLY HOW EXTRAORDINARY OF AN ATHLETE HE WAS. HE WENT TO MIKE NORVELL'S HOUSE. HE'S WEARING JEANS AND THROWS DOWN A WINDMILL DUNK, AND THEY'RE LIKE, WHOA. ANDERSON, KNOCKED DOWN. THE AFLAC TRIVIA QUESTION, SO MUCH GOING ON, I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO THINK ABOUT IT. >> Kirk: I WAS GOING BACK TO JAMEIS WINSTON, THAT ERA MAYBE? I REMEMBER THEY HAD A HYPED UP GAME WITH ALABAMA, BUT IT DIDN'T GO WELL. >> Chris: I WAS GOING TO SAY MIAMI. IT WAS A LONG TIME. I DIDN'T KNOW THE QUEEKNOW THE R KNR A SLUGFEST. >> Kirk: BOUNCING BACK TO BE ABLE TO TIE THIS GAME UP. SHOWS YOU REALLY WHAT HE'S ALL ABOUT. >> Chris: HE'S BEEN CLUTCH ON THIRD DOWN TONIGHT AND PRECISE WITH HIS THROWS. SEE WHAT LSU DOES HERE. A MINUTE TO GO. THEY'VE GOT TWO TIMOUT. THEY'LL WORK THE SIDELINE. NABERS COULDN'T QUITE ESCAPE. THE CLOCK WILL STOP AS THEY MOVE THE STICKS MOMENTARILY. GREEN ON THE STOP. THEY CERTAINLY TRUST INTEREST QUARTERBA THIS QUARTERBACK TO OPERATE THE TWO-MINUTE DRILL. LONG THROW, DROPS OUT OF HANDS OF LACY. >> Kirk: THOUGH IS GOING TO AND REALLY GOOD CHAMLE FOR NCE FOR SEE. THE QUESTION IS NOT JUST TONIGHT. PEOPLE WANT TO SEE HOW FAR THIS OFFENSE HAS GROWN AROUND JAYDEN DANIELS. CAN GUYS LIKE LACY AND THOMAS HELP OUT NABERS. HERE THEY ARE, JUST TRYING TO GET THE FIELD GOAL RANGE WITH A COUPLE TIMEOUTS. >> Chris: LONG-RANGE FIELD GOAL KICKER. BLIND SIDE HIT! THE BALL IS LOOSE! A SCRAMBLE FOR IT, AS DANIELS GOT POUNDED BY THAT MAN, JARED VERSE, WHO WAS A NIGHTMARE A YEAR AGO HAD THIS GAME. >> Kirk: IN THIS MATCHUP. WILL CAMPBELL'S A GREAT PLAYER. JARED VERSE WENT UP AGAINST HIM. VERSE WAS A TRANSFER, AND HERE IT IS THAT SAME MATCHUP A YEAR LATER. KEEPS HIS HANDS OFF OF HIM. USES THAT SPEED AND THAT BEND TO BE ABLE TO GET THERE ON THE BLINDSIDE OF THE QUARTERBACK. HE IS A STUD. >> Chris: HE'S MOCKING THE BREAKING THE ROCK, WHICH IS THE TRADITION THAT THE SEMINOLES HAVE. BOY, HE GOT THAT NFL STYLE. THE ARM BAND, OUT, OF THE HANDS OF THE QUARTERBACK. >> Kirk: A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT HE MAY HAVE GONE OUT LAST YEAR. HE DECIDES TO COME BACK AND WORK ON HIS GAME. IF HE'S NOT THE TOP PASS RUSHER IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL HE'S RIGHT THERE IN THE DISCUSSION. >> Chris: HOLLY, WE TALKED TO VERSE. IMPRESSIVE GUY. GOT TO LOVE HIS WORK ETHIC. >> Holly: HIS WORK ETHIC IS IMPRESSIVE. I TALKED TO HIS PARENTS, ERIC AND JANINE. WHEN HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL HE DID A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. BASKETBALL, BASEBALL. BUT HIS PROUDEST ACHIEVEMENT WAS HELPING HIS SCHOOL WIN IN THE 4 X 4. THIS KID HAS ATHLETIC BACKGROUND. HE PLAYS THE SAXOPHONE. HIS PARENTS RAISED A GOOD ONE. >> Chris: THEY'RE GOING TO REVIEW IF IT WAS A FUMBLE OR INCOMPLETION. VERSE, YOU MAY KNOW HIS STORY, HE PLAYED AT ALBANY, WEIGHED LIKE 200 POUNDS. AT ALBANY, HE PLAYED WITH A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER, NO MATTER WHO HE WAS GOING AGAINST. HE PLAYED POSSESSED. AND A BUNK OF TEAMS SPOTTED THAT AND SAID HE CAN HELP US. ANOTHER LOOK, AS I SAID, THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK TO SEE IF IT WAS A FORWARD PASS OR FUMBLE. THEY'LL BRING IN BILL TO SIWA SEE WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT IT. >> I SAY THE CALL STANDS. > >>>. >> Chris: YOU THINK THE BALL WAS OUT OF HIS HANDS BEFORE HE MOVED THE BALL FORWARD? >> I HAVE A HUMBLA FUMBLE. >> Chris: HE STILL HAS A GRIP ON THE BALL. >> CAN YOU HAVE AN ARGUMENT, BUT I SAY HIS ARM'S COMING DOWN AND FORWARD BECAUSE HE WAS HIT, NOT BECAUSE OF HIS THROWING ACTION. >> Kirk: HOW YOU DO THAT STUFF, HONESTLY. >> Chris: DON'T CONGRATULATE HIM YET. RO >> Kirk: WE ALL KNOW THE RULES, BUT SUCH A GRAY AREA THERE. >> THIS ONE IS RIGHT ON THE EDGE. >> Chris: HERE'S A SPOILER ALERT. THEY MOVED THE YARD MARKER BACK. I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO RULE IT INCOMPLETE. >> Referee: AFTER REVIEW THE QUARTERBACK'S HAND WAS GOING FORWARD BEFORE LOSING POSSESSION. IT'S AN INCOMPLETE PASS. IT WILL BE THIRD DOWN AND TEN. FLORIDA STATE WILL NOT BE CHARGED WITH TIMEOUT. THIRD DOWN. >> THAT'S A GOOD ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE REFEREE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THAT TIMEOUT. BECAUSE THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN THE TIMEOUT IF IT HAD BEEN RULE ADD INCOMPLETE PASS. >> Chris: WITH 25 SECONDS TO GO, AFTER WHAT HE J U.UST SAW, DOES KELLY JUST RUN THE BALL AND GO TO HALFTIME? >> Kirk: YOU HAVE THE TWO TIMEOUTS. THIRD AND TEN. >> Chris: LONG WAY TO GO TO GET IN FIELD GOAL RANGE. WE'LL CEMENT. >> Ki SEE. >> Kirk: YEAH, YOU'D THINK THEY'D JUST KILL THE CLOCK. >> Chris: SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MOVE TO THE BACK END. GIVE IT TO WILLIAMS. HE'S GOT SOME SPACE. HE GETS OUT, AND BARRELS WAY INTO FLORIDA STATE TERRITORY. HE'S KNOCKED OUT WITH PLENTY OF TIME TO OPERATE. A CONSERVATIVE CALL, BUT A HUGE PLAY. >> Kirk: WELL, BECAUSE THEY HAD THREE RECEIVERS LINED UP ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT, PLAYING MAN COVERAGE, ALL THAT SECOND AND THIRD LEVEL OF THE DEFENSE IS ON THE OTHER SIDE. AND EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE JUST TRYING TO KEEP THE CLOCK MOVING, MAKE FLORIDA STATE USE A TIMEOUT, THERE'S NOBODY LEFT ON THAT SIDE. LOOK AT THE FORMATION. LOOK AT ALL THESE DEFENDERS. THERE'S NOBODY LEFT ON THIS SIDE. SO BY USING THAT FORMATION, NOT A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO BE BLOCKED, THE RECEIVER ENDS UP GETTING TO THE SAFETY. LACY MAKES THAT CORNER HAVE TO MAKE THE TACKLE, AND THEY PICK UP HUGE YARDS. NOW YOU'VE GOT 30 SECONDS, NOW YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT A FIELD GOLD. >> Chris: 35 YARD GAIN ON THE GROUND ON THIRD AND TEN. HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF HUGE PLAYS FROM THE RUNNING GAME TONIGHT EXCEPT BY QUARTERBACK DANIELS, BUT THAT WAS POTENTIALLY A THREE-POINT PLAY, IF THEY CAN GET RAMOS JUST A LITTLE BIT CLOSER. RIGHT NOW. GOT TO GET ABOUT TEN MORE YARDS FOR HIM TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. MAYBE SIX YARDS TO GIVE IT A SHOT. >> Kirk: STILL HAVE A TIMEOUT. I DON'T, DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS HERE, YOU WANT TO HOLD ONTO THAT TIMEOUT. PROBABLY GOT A COUPLE PLAYS HERE TO TRY TO RUN A COUPLE QUICK ONES. >> Chris: CAIN IS THE BACK. DANIELS. POCKET COLLAPSING, HE ESCAPES AGAIN, AND WILL BE DRAGGED DOWN AT ABOUT THE 36. SO KALEN DeLOACH STOPPED HIM. NOW THEY'RE RIGHT AT THAT FIELD GOAL LINE >>>. >> Kirk: BUT A GREAT EFFORT BY DANIELS TO GET OUT-OF-BOUNDS, HOLD ONTO AT THAT TIMEOUT. AND INSTEAD OF GETTING SACKED OR LOSING YARDS, HE'S ABLE TO PICK UP THREE YARDS, GET OUT-OF-BOUNDS AND HOLD TUNE T O THAT TIMEOUT. PLAYING MAN-TO-MAN HERE, STRAIGHT UP. AND THAT TIME HE PASSED HIM OFF. >> Chris: NABERS COMES ACROSS GO MOTION. A LONG THROW, AND WIDE OPEN IS BRIAN THOMAS! THEY LOST HIM. NOW HE'S DOWN IF THE RED ZONE WITH 17 SECONDS TO GO. NOW THEY'RE THINKING TOUCHDOWN. >> Kirk: I WAS SAYING MAN-TO-MAN. IT LOOKED LIKE A LITTLE BUILT OF CONFUSI BIT OF CONFUSION. NOBODY IN COVERAGE THERE ON BRIAN THOMAS. >> Chris: SO THE THINKING HAS CHANGED FROM MAYBE RUN A SAFE PLAY AND PUNT. ANOTHER THING, END ZONE. >> Kirk: TAKE A SHOT. >> Chris: STILL HAVE THAT TIMEOUT. DANIELS, FROM THE POCKET, THROWS, AND IT'S INCOMPLETE. LOOKED LIKE MALIK NABERS MAY HAVE RUN OUT-OF-BOUNDS ANYWAY. CANTRELL CYPRESS, THE FINE TRANSFER FROM VIRGINIA IN COVERAGE. >> Kirk: THEY CONTINUE TO BRING PRESSURE. INSTEAD OF PUTTING A SAFETY OVER THE TOP TO HELP OUT THE CORNER, HE'S LEAVING HIM ON AN ISLAND IN THAT LAST PLAY. IF I'M JAYDEN DANIELS AND YOU GET THAT LOOK AGAIN, I'D GO RIGHT BACK TO HIM. IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HELP WITH THAT SAFETY, TRY TO TAKE ANOTHER SHOT. SEE WHAT THE SAFETY DOES AT THE SNAP OF THE BALL. >> Chris: A LOT OF TRUST IN CYPRESS, ISN'T THERE? BE HE'S LOOKING THAT WAY BUT MISCOMMUNICATION. HE THREW IT SHORT. NABERS DIDN'T BREAK THE ROUT OFF. >> Kirk: YOU SEE NABERS COMING BACK JT THERE'S BACK. I DON'T THINK THEY WITH QUITEERN THE SAGE PAGE. THAT'S MATCHUP YOU WANT. AGAIN, THIS IS WHAT DANIELS IS CONCERNED ABOUT. AND IF HE GETS THAT ONE ON ONE, JUST PUT IT UP INTO THE AIR IN THAT CORNER, GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO RUN UNDERNEATH IT. >> Chris: AND THEY FLINCH? NO. FLORIDA STATE SPENDING A DEFENSIVE TIMEOUT AFTER GETTING A LOOK AT IT. LSU, KIRK, HAS LIVED IN THE RED ZONE. FIVE OUT OF SIX POSSESSIONS THEY'VE GOT DOWN IN HERE, A COUPLE TOUCHDOWNS TO SHOW FOR IT RIGHT NOW, AND HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS SEQUENCE, WITH LSU WAY BACKED UP. THEY'VE GOT THAT REPLAY REVERSAL WHICH HELPED THEM. SAVED THEM SOME YARDAGE. SEEMS LIKE FO. >> Kirk: THIS GUY IS ELITE. AND YOU'RE HEAVING HIM OUT THERE. CYPRESS, A TRANSFER, 14 STARTS AT UVA. COMES OVER AND PICKS UP THIS SYSTEM VERY WELL. BUT THEY TRUST HIM ON THESE LAST COUPLE PLAYS. THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH IT. I PERSONALLY WOULD GO RIGHT BACK TO HIM. I'M GOING TO CIRCLE IT AGAIN. IF THIS SAFETY'S NOT COMING OVER TO HELP OUT. >> Chris: DANIELS DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE A SACK HERE AND JUST THROWS IT AWAY. CLOCK WAS TICKING DOWN. ALMOST A MISTAKE. DOES GET RID OF IT WITH FOUR SECONDS AS DENNIS BRIGGS BROUGHT THE PRESSURE. >> Kirk: REALLY GOOD CORNIVERAG DOWNFIELD. EVENTUALLY THE PASS RUSH AFFECTS THE TIMING. ALL CAN HE DO IS THROW IT AWAY. >> Chris: DAMION RAMOS COMES OUT. HIS FIRST FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT TONIGHT. NORMALLY VERY RELIABLE INSIDE OF 40 YARDS. 8 OF 11. AND MIKE NORVELL WILL SPEND A TIMEOUT. THE FINAL ONE OF THE HALF HERE. TIMEOUT. THE FINAL ONE OF THE HALF HERE. ON THIS BEAUTIFUL NIGHT IN ORLANDO. AERIAL COVERAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY GOOD YEAR. ROAD TESTS AND GAME READY. ARE YOU READY FOR THE ROAD? GOOD YEAR, MORE DRIVEN. >> Kirk: SOMETHING ABOUT THESE TEAMS GOING HEAD TO HEAD. FLORIDA STATE DEFERRED. THEY WILL GET THE BALL TO START THE SECOND HALF. >> Chris: A CLEAN FIRST HALF FOR LSU, OPENING GAME, THEY DON'T HAVE A PENALTY. THEY'VE HAD THE ONE MISTAKE ON SPECIAL TEAMS. BUT DANIELS AND THE OFFENSE HAVE EXECUTED BEAUTIFULLY. AND NOW RAMOS WILL TRY TO GIVE THEM A THREE-POINT LEAD AT THE BREAK. NO PROBLEM. LSU IN LESS THAN A MINUTE BEFORE HALFTIME, DRIVES IT 67 YARDS IN TEN QUICK PLAYS. AND WE DO HAVE■ A GOOD ONE. THESE TWO HEAVY WEIGHTS COLLIDING ON A QUOTE, NEUTRAL FIELD. ALTHOUGH FSU CLEARLY HAS THE CROWD ADVANTAGE. >> Kirk: PK NEVER MISSES AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO THE OFFICIALS ONE MORE TIME. >> Chris: DANIELS DOESN'T HAVE A TOUCHDOWN PASS. HAS BEEN SACKED A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT HE HAS A 40-YARD RUN TO SET UP A TOUCHDOWN. HOLLY? >> Holly: GOOD DEMONSTRATION THERE TO THE OFFICIATING CREW, WHAT WERE YOU TRYING TO MAKE YOUR POINT? >> THEY'VE GOT BIG OFFENSIVE RECEIVERS, AND THEY'RE GETTING OFF THE LINE. WE'VE JUST GOT TO DO A BETTER JOB. >> Holly: YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO THE RED ZONE, MOVE THE BALL UP AND DOWN THE FIELD, BUT HOW CAN YOU BE MORE EFFECTIVE? >> WE GOT TO BE MORE DECISIVE IN WHEN WE GIVE THE BALL OR PULL IT. AND I THINK WE'VE GOTTEN AWAY FROM, YOU KNOW, WHAT, YOU KNOW, OUR READS ARE. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH. WE'LL SETTLE DOWN HERE, WE'LL GO THROUGH IT AGAIN AND JUST BE MORE DISCIPLINED WITH OUR READS, AND WE'LL BE FINE >>>. >> Holly: THANKS, COACH. >> Chris: I APPRECIATE BRIAN KELLY'S HALFTIME INTERVIEWS. SIX RED ZONE TRIPS, THEY COME AWAY WITH TWO TOUCHDOWNS AND THAT FIELD GOAL. ♪ ♪ >> Chris: WHAT WE EXPECTED IN ORLANDO, A GOOD, WELL-MATCHED COLLISION BETWEEN THESE HEAVY WEIGHTS. APARTME APARTME AND THE CAMPING WORLD KICKOFF. FLORIDA STATE'S TOUCHDOWNS CAME OUTSIDE THE RED ZONE. THEY'LL GET THE FOOTBALL BACK TO START THE SECOND HALF. HOW DO THEY GET JORDAN TRAVIS GOING AGAIN? >> Kirk: I THINK THE WAY YOU GET JORDAN TRAVIS GOING, LIKE ANY QUARTERBACK, YOU RUN THE FOOTBALL. FLORIDA STATE, IF YOU WATCHED LAST YEAR, IT WAS ABOUT BALANCE AND WINNING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT TONIGHT. THEY'VE GOT TO BE ABLE, I'M SURE, TO GO P THERE AT HALFTIME AND TALK ABOUT GUYS, WE'VE GOT TO FIND A WAY. THEY'RE LOSING THE BATTLE AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. IF THEY CAN RUN THE FOOTBALL, THAT CAN REALLY OPEN SOME THINGS UP. THE QUESTION IS, CAN THEY DO THAT? DO THAT? >> Chris: A VERY EXPERIENCED OFFENSIVE LINE. HAVING A HARD TIME KEEPING TRAVIS CLEAN. THE LSU PASS RUSHER WAS A FACTOR. LET'S IF TO HOLLY, PRESENTED BY VISIT ORLANDO. >> Holly: COACH NORVELL SAID HEY, WE HAD UNFORCED ERRORS WE HAVE GOT TO CLEAN UP. AT ONE POINT HE GATHERED THE ENTIRE TEAM TOGETHER AND REALLY GOT ON THEM NOT BEING OVERLY AGGRESSIVE AND LETTING THIS ENVIRONMENT GET TO THEM. HE ALSO SAID THEY'VE GOT TO CLEAN UP SOME MISTAKES, AND THEN THE DROPS, HE WANTED TO ADDRESS WE'RE RIGHT ON TRACK. COLEMAN KRAMTED CRAMPED UP AND EARLY, HE CAME BACK DRINKING GATORADE AND EATING A BAG OF PRETZELS. >> Chris: GOT TO GET THAT SALT UP. NOW WE'RE GOING TO CREATE A WHOLE LOT OF SPACE AND SET ASIDE A THROW. HERE COME THE FLAG, TRYING TO COME BACK TO THE FOOTBALL. WILSON THERE AND DUCE CHESTNUT. >> Kirk: UNDERTHROWN, RECEIVER WORKING BACK. >> Referee: NUMBER 22, DEFENSE. THE 15-YARD PENALTY. AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN. >> Kirk: LSU'S FIRST PENALTY. YOU CALL IT PLASTERING. YOU'RE TRYING TO STAY WITH HIM. HE'S ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND THE FOUL HAS ALREADY OCCURRED. IN FACT, IT WASN'T WHEN HE TRIED TO WORK BACK TO THE BALL. TRAVIS IS BACK THERE RUNNING ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND YOU'RE OUT THERE ON AN ISLAND. THAT'S A TOUGH THING TO DO. >> Chris: THEY HAMMER IT TO TOAFILI AND GET EIGHT ON THAT RUNNING PLAY. >> Kirk: THERE KBU. YOU TA YOU GO. THEY MOVE BELL, KIND OF A VERSATILE GUY. GET HIM IN THE BACK, LET HIM LYDE T LEAD THE WAY. >> Chris: AND THEY TRUN TO TRUNE LEFT. >> Kirk: I'M SURE THAT'S WHAT MIKE NORVELL AND THE OFFENSIVE STAFF WENT IN AND TALKED ABOUT, WE HAVE TO AFFECT THE EYES OF THESE LINEBACKERS AND SAFETIES, MAKE THEM THINK ABOUT THAT INSTEAD OF JUST RUN THROWING THE BALL OR JORDAN THOMAS MAKING PLAYS THROUGH HIS LEGS. THAT'S A BIG PART OF WHAT THEY LIKE TO DO. >> Chris: THAT'S BENSON BACK IN THE GAME. THIRD CONSECUTIVE RUN. AND BENSON TO THE LEFT. KIND OF RUNS DOWNHILL. DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MUCH, BUT GOOD PUSH GETS HIM ABOUT THREE AND A HALF YARDS. >> Kirk: SAW JORDAN TRAVIS TAKING HIS TIME. YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT LSU WOULD COMMIT TO. ANYTIME A QUARTERBACK IN THESE KIND OF OFFENSES SEE THAT, THEY HAVE A CHECK TO THROW IT OR RUN IT. THEY'VE GOT THE NUMBERS TO THEIR ADVANTAGE. HIT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. TRY TO RUN THE FOOTBALL WHEN THE NUMBERS ARE RIGHT. >> Chris: BELL WHO COMES IN MOTION. TRAVIS PUTS IT UNDERNEATH AND IT'S KEON COLEMAN WITH BELL AS A BLOCKER. NICE RHYTHM HERE FOR NORVELL AS A PLAY CALLER COMING OUT OF HALFTIME. >> Kirk: BECAUSE IT'S A QUICK THROW, IT'S AN EXTENSION OF THE RUN GAME. GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT JAHEIM BELL CAN DO FOR YOU. A GUY WHO BROUGHT IN A LOT OF FANFARE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. HAD SOME BIG GAMES, A GAME YOU AND I CALLED IN COLUMBIA AGAINST TENNESSEE. COE BE A TIG HE COULD BE A TIGHT END, RECEIVER OR BLOCKER. >> Chris: HE'S IMPROVED AS BLOCKER. GOTTEN MORE PHYSICAL. THAT'S NOT REALLY WHAT MADE HIS REPUTATION BUT YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT ALL. BACKWARD PASS, NOW TRYING TO CREATE, FLIPS IT OVER THE MIDDLE, AND THE CATCH IS MADE BY WILSON! WOW! A LOT HAPPENED THERE, AS DEUCE SPANN, THE RECEIVER, LOOKED LIKE A QUARTERBACK ON THE PLAY. >> Kirk: A GREAT JOB OF IMPROVISING, A HECK OF A JOB BY THE DEFENSE FROM LSU. YOU SEE THIS. THEY WANT TO GET THAT DOWNFIELD. IT'S TAKEN AWAY. RATE THE RIGHT THERE I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD. I THOUGHT HE MIGHT RUN IT, BUT HOW ABOUT THE ATHLETIC ABILITY ON THE RUN. THAT WAS AN ABSOLUTE DIVE FOR A FIRST DOWN FIRST DOWN. >> Chris: THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. >> Kirk: THAT WAS A GREAT PLAY. DON'T FORGET THAT PLAY FOR HIGHLIGHTS ON SPORTS CENTER. THAT WAS A GREAT PLAY. >> Chris: YOU'RE THINKING OH, NO, WHEN THE RECEIVER'S RUNNING AROUND WITH THE BALL IN HIS HANDS. THOSE TRICK PLAYS F IT'S GOI, IG HAPPEN T'S GOI HAPPEN, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY. >> Kirk: USUALLY A RECEIVER DOESN'T MOW WHAT TO DO. HE IMPROVISES. THE ILLINOIS TRANS OF, >> Chris: FIVE RECEPTIONS, ALL HAVE RESULTED IN A FIRST DOWN TONIGHT. TWO BACK LOOK AGAIN. >> Kirk: THIS TWO BACK LOOK HELPING THEIR RUN GAME OUT ON THIS DRIVE. >> Chris: ONCE BEGIN, IT'S BELL AS A BLOCKER, BUT NOWHERE TO RUN. >> Kirk: IT'S PRETTY EASY. NOBODY SETS HIM UP. BY SHOWING THAT BLITZ MAY HAVE AFFECTED MORLOCK, THE TIGHT END TO RELEASE TO THE OUTSIDE. NOBODY PICKS UP SWINSON. VERY EASY PLAY TO DISRUPT THAT. >> Chris: THAT MAKES IT A THIRD AND 13 FOR TRAVIS NOW. DOES HE HAVE SOME MORE THIRD DOWN MAGIC? WILSON IN WILSON'S IN THE SLOT. THIS TIME HE DOESN'T GET QUITE ENOUGH FOR THE FIRST DOWN. STOPPED BY ALEXANDER AT THE 15. HE'S THREE YARDS SHORT. >> Kirk: THEY'LL BRING THE FIELD GOAL, NOT ABLE TO GET THE DISTANCE HE NEEDS FOR THE FIRST DOWN. MAKES THE ATTEMPT FOR THE FIELD GOAL MUCH EASIER. >> Chris: JARED A GUY WHO WANTS TO GET HIS MOJO BACK. LAST YEAR WAS THE LEAST-ACCURATE SEASON HE'S HAD AT HIS THREE SEASONS AT FLORIDA STATE. THIS IS HIS FIRST ATTEMPT THIS SEASON FROM 33. AND HE KNOCKS IT THROUGH. SO FLORIDA STATE MOVES MOST-ANTS IN THE OPENING MONTH OF THE SEASON A THRILLER IN AUSTIN. BRICE YOUNG AND THE TIDE HELD ON. NOW JADEN MILL ROW TAKES OVER THAT JOB AGAINST THE HORNS. >> Kirk: ALABAMA TRYING TO GO BACK TO PLAYING FIELD POSITION AND RUNNING THE FOOTBALL. THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ELEMENT IN THE ARMS AND LEGS, GOOD COMPLIMENT TO WHAT THEY DO ON THE GROUND. SPECIAL ATHLETE. >> Chris: TRYING TO BRING IT OUT HERE IS AARON ANDERSON, WHO HAD TROUBLE FIELDING A PUNT EARLIER. HE'LL BE STOPPED SHORT OF THE 20. SO THE FIRST POSSESSION OF THE SECOND HALF FOR JAYDEN DANIELS, IS HE ABLE TO CREATE THREE EXPLOSIVE PLAYS. ONE REALLY EXPLOSIVE RUN OF 40 YARDS TO SET UP A TOUCHDOWN. MATCHES THE TOTAL A YEAR AGO. THAT WAS A BIG EMPHASIS FOR THIS OFFENSE. BRIAN KELLY SAID JUST NOT GOOD FUF FOR T ENOUGH FOR THE PLAYMAKERS WE HAVE TO BE ANYTHING BETTER THAN AVERAGE. >> Kirk: THEY NEED TO BE EXPLOSIVE AND PLAY TO HIS STRENGTHS. I KNOW THEY'RE WORKING ON HIS POCKET PRESENCE. THAT'S IMPORTANT. HE'S REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN HE STARTS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE PLAYS WITH HIS FEET. >> Chris: HE HAS BEEN TONIGHT. HE'S GOT THE BALL STILL. GETS IN SPACE. JUST WANTS RATE IGHT BY JARED V. AKEEM DENT BRINGS HIM DOWN. >> Kirk: HE' GOT THE OPTIOS GOT. THE INSIDE LINEBACKER IS REALLY SCRAPING FROM THE INSIDE. HE HAD ROOM TO RUN. >> Chris: CHUNK OF 15 YARDS. SHORT ROUT, CATCH MADE BY NABERS. NABERS, NOT A HUGE FACTOR IN THE FIRST A ONE OF THE ELITE RECEIVERS IN THE SEC. >> Kirk: UNABLE TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN AGAINST COVERAGE TO GET BY CYPRESS. >> Chris: SECOND AND SHORT, LET'S SEE IF THEY DIAL UP FOR HIM. TAYLOR'S GOT IT. GET GETS A BLOCK. THERE'S A FLAG. IS IT ANOTHER PERSONAL FOUL ON THE NOLES? AND A COUPLE OF THEM IN THE FIRST HALF, AND ONE POSSESSION. VERSE WAS A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE OVER THERE. AND NORVELL POINTING TO HIS HEAD, SAYING THAT WASN'T A SMART PLAY. >> Kirk: I MEAN, HE'S HUSTLING, TRYING TO MAKE A PLAY. AND THEY PULLED IT OFF. BUT, AGAIN, I LOVE THE PLAY CALL. I JUST LOVE TO SEE DANIELS. THAT WAS A TRIPLE OPTION. THAT'S BASICALLY, HE CAN HAND IT OFF. HE CAN PULL IT OR THROW IT AROUND THE EDGE. WATCH THE COLLAPSE DOWN. 44 TAKES IT. THEY TAKE HIM AWAY FROM RUNNING. YOU CAN'T COVER ALL THREE OF THOSE OPTIONS. ONE OF THEM'S GOING TO BE OPEN. GOOD, QUICK DECISION THERE BY DANIELS. >> Chris: THIRD CATCH TONIGHT FOR TAYLOR. BRADFORD. PICKS HIS WAY FOR ABOUT FOUR UP THE MIDDLE AS THEY CROSS BACK INTO FSU TERRITORY. THE WHOLE NIGHT THEY'VE BEEN ON THE MOVE IN NOLES TERRITORY. IT'S JUST HOW EFFICIENT CAN THEY BE ONCE THEY GET DOWN THERE. >> Kirk: FIVE OF THEIR SIX DRIVES HAVE ENDED UP IN THE RED ZONE. THEY HAVE BEEN MOVING THE BALL BETWEEN THE 20s PRETTY MUCH AT WILL. >> Chris: HERE COME THE LOUDEST TOMAHAWK CHOP OF THE NIGHT AS THE CROWD TRIES TO MAKE IT TOUGHER ON THIS OFFENSE. EMPTY BACKFIELD. NABERS ON THE EDGE, BUT A VERY SURE TACKLE IS MADE RIGHT THERE BY JAIRION JONES. NOT EASY TO CORRAL HIM IN SPACE. >> Kirk: THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN, IF YOU REACT QUICKLY. YOU RECOGNIZE THAT THEY'RE LINED UP WITH THREE RECEIVERS. YOU GOT TO GET UNDERNEATH THE BLOCK OF MASON TAYLOR, WHICH HE WAS ABLE TO DO, BUT REALLY GOOD QUICK REACTION THERE. >> Chris: GRABBED THAT FOOT, WOULD MOTT LNOT LET GO. HERE COMES A THIRD AND SIX. >> Kirk: NABERS AWAY FROM THE THREE RECEIVERS AT THE BOTTOM. >> Chris: NOW DELIVERS ACROSS THE MIDDLE. BOTH OFFENSES, CYPRESS WAS IN COVERAGE, AND IT'S FOURTH DOWN. HERE COMES THE PUNT SEEM. >> Kirk: PRETTY GOOD JOB BY DANIELS, WORKING ALL THE WAY BACK, PUTS IT RIGHT ON THE MONEY, COULD NOT WORK THAT ANYBETTER. CAME AANY ANY BETTER. ANYBETTER. CAME AANY ANY BETTER. >> Chris: THE DROPS ON BOTH SIDES, SOMETHING WE DID NOT EXPECT. YOU'VE GOT SOME ELITE RECEIVERS ON THIS FIELD. BRAMBLETT TRIES TO PIN THEM BACK. IT'S A VERY HIGH PUNT. COLEMAN COMES UP AND MAKES THE CATCH SEM KNOWL . >> Kirk: GO BACK TO THIS THIRD DOWN. THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THE BALL THROWN TO THE RIGHT TO NABERS. LOOK AT THIS DROP BY LACY. IF HE CATCHES THAT BALL RIGHT THERE, THINK ABOUT ALL THE ROOM HE HAS TO RUN OUT THIS WAY. A FOOT RACE MAYBE TO THE CORNER OF THE END ZONE. >> Chris: HE KNEW THAT, THAT'S WHY HE TILTED HIS HEAD. >> Kirk: COULD HAVE BEEN. MAN COVERAGE AND A DROPPED MA B MISSED OPPORTUNITY THERE. >> Chris: RODNEY HILL BE RUSTLED DOWN. THEY STILL CANNOT GET THIS RUN GAME GOING. THAT'S HIS SPECIALITY. MAKES PLATE BEHIND THE LINE. >> Kirk: THE LAST DRIVE, WE SAW A LOT OF TWO BACKS. A COUPLE GUYS POLLING. THE BIG GUYS ON THE INSIDE. YOU SAY JORDAN JEFFERSON AND LSU, SOME NAMES COME TO MIND. THAT TIME SHOWING QUICKNESS ON THE COUNTER PLAY. >> Chris: LOSS OF FOUR. TRAVIS AGAINST THE THREE-MAN RUSH. SHOULD HAVE TIME AND LAUNCHES OVER THE MIDDLE. COLEMAN, GOES UP AND MAKES A CATCH! A BEAUTIFUL PITCH AND CATCH. HE BEAT CHESTNUT OUT NEAR MIDFIELD. HE HAS MADE A MONSTER IMPACT IN HIS FIRST GAME. >> Kirk: THERE'S THAT MATCHUP AGAIN AGAINST CHESTNUT. HE'S COME UP WITH A PICK. THIS TIME A PERFECTLY-PLACED FOOTBALL BY TRAVIS OUT IN FRONT COLEMAN TO COME UP WITH THAT BIG GAIN. >> Chris: AND THEY HAND IT OFF TO HILL. BANGS FORWARD. WHEN YOU GO GOOD ON GOOD IN THE SCRIMMAGES, COULD YOUR DBs COVER COLEMAN AND JORDAN SAID, NO, NOT REALLY, HE'S HARD TO GUARD. THAT GETS COMPETITIVE IN THOSE SCRIMMAGES. >> Kirk: ABSOLUTELY. THERE'S SOME BOOS COMING DOWN. THE CROWD REACTING. THEY THOUGHT HE NEVER WENT DOWN. >> Chris: THAT'S WHAT HILL THOUGHT. STILL UP. TOAFILI IS THE BACK. PITCHES IT ON THE EDGE. AND THAT TIME NOTHING DOING. COLEMAN CAUGHT THE BALL. THEY HAD SENT A TIGHT END OVER THERE TO BLOCK. BUT OMAR SPEIGHTS. >> Kirk: SPEIGHTS CLEANED IT UP. IT WAS THE SECONDARY DOING A GOOD JOB FORCING THAT BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE. LOOK AT THAT EFFORT RIGHT THERE. GOOD JOB BY MAJOR BURNS, AND SPEIGHTS COMES IN. >> Chris: TOAFILI IN MOTION. THEY HAND IT TO HIM. LOWERS THE SHOULDER, DIDN'T GET THERE. AND NORVELL HAS A DECISION. IT WILL BE FOURTH DOWN AND ABOUT TWO AT THE 42. ANDRE' SAM MADE THE PLAY. >> Kirk: THAT FELT LIKE A PLAY CALL SETTING UP THE POTENTIAL TO GO FOR IT HERE. CAN WE PICK UP THE FIRST? AND IF NOT, HOW CLOSE CAN WE GET? IT HAD THAT KIND OF FEEL, AND THEY ARE GOING TO END UP GOING FOR IT HERE. >> Chris: IT WAS A BIG MOMENT. LATE STAGES OF THE THIRD QUARTER IN A TIE GAME. CAN LSU GET A FOURTH DOWN STOP THIS TIME? TRAVIS AS A RUNNER IS ALWAYS A SERIOUS THREAT. BUT THEY TRY DRAW HIM UP. FLIPS IT OUT AND WIDE OPEN IS TOAFILI WITH A CONVOY, MAKES A CUT! STILL GOING! SLUNG DOWN AT THE ONE, BUT A HUGE FOURTH DOWN CONVERSION PUTS THEM ON THE BRINK OF CLAIMING THE LEAD. >> Kirk: THEY BROUGHT EVERYBOD. YOU SEE A GOOD EFFORT AND A LEK OF A BLOCK BY JOHNNY WILSON. >> Chris: NOW PLAYING FAST, WALKING IN THE END ZONE IS JORDAN TRAVIS. SO NORVELL TRUSTS HIS OFFENSE. BEAUTIFUL PLAY DRAWN UP. AND FSU BACK ON TOP. >> Kirk: AND A LOT HAPPENING THERE. >> Chris: WHAT A DRIVE, 87 YARDS, KIRK, IN SEVEN PLAYS. >> Kirk: AND THERE'S JORDAN TRAVIS, WATCH THIS READ. FIELDS IT FROM THE BACKSIDE. IT ENDS UP WALKING INTO THE END ZONE. LSU SELLING OUT TO TRY TO GET TO TOAFILI BEFORE HE CAN GET THE BALL. GOOD JOB OF JORDAN TRAVIS PULLING AND SENSING THAT. PULLS THE BALL OUT OF HIS ARMS. KEEPS IT HIMSELF FOR AN EASY TOUCHDOWN. CLI >> Chris: THAT'S THE THIRD TOUCHDOWN ACCOUNTED FOR BY TRAVIS. HE'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF >> Kirk: CHRIS, WE GOT TO GO BACK TO THIS. HE'S READING PERKINS, BUT HE FEELS BROOKS ON THE OUTSIDE. HE'S READING TO HIS RIGHT. AND OUT OF NOWHERE SENSES THAT THAT COLLAPSE, BLITZ FROM BROOKS AND PULLS IT FROM WHAT WAS THE BLIND SIDE AND ALLOWED HIM TO WALK INTO THE END ZONE >3. REALZONE. >3. REALZONE. REALLY A RARE PLAY. >> Chris: ANDERSON UP TO RECEIVE THE SHORT KICKOFF, KNOCKED DOWN TO THE 24. SO FLORIDA STATE'S OFFENSE, TOUCHDOWN, FIELD GOAL, TOUCHDOWN IN THE LAST THREE DRIVES. CURTIS WILSON IS KEEPING US UP TO STATE. WHAT'S YOUR ALLSTATE GOOD PLAY? >> Kirk: COLORADO MAKES THIS PLAY. BIG DAY FOR THE ENTIRE SANDERS FAMILY. HOW ABOUT TTHE PERFORMANCE. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM NEXT WEEK AGAINST NEBRASKA. >> Chris: DANIELS ON THIRD DOWN. THEY PICK UP THE LATE PRESSURE. NABERS ON THE LONG THROW, MAKES THE CATCH, COMES BACK TO THE BALL AND STEPS OUT AT THE 37. >> Kirk: HOW ABOUT THAT. RIGHT HASH. THE COLLEGE GAME. THAT IS A LONG THROW FROM THE RIGHT HASH. THROWS THIS BALL ON A LINE. ABSOLUTE ROPE. AWAY FROM THE DEFENDER. NEAR THE BOUNDARY ON HIS LEFT SIDE. GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE ARM STRENGTH OF JAYDEN >> Chris: NOLES BRING PRESSURE AGAIN. DANIELS CANNOT ESCAPE THIS TIME. REACHIN'I REA REACHING UP AND GRABBING HIM WAS DENNIS BRIGGS, WOULDN'T RHETT H LET HIM GO. >> Kirk: IF HE GETS OUT OF THERE, HE'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF ROOM TO RUN. WHAT AN EFFORT TO HOLD ON BY BRIGGS. >> Chris: DO YOU APPRECIATE THE STRENGTHS, FOLKS, OF WHAT IT TOOK TO COULD THAT? IS HE A POWERFUL RUNNER. HE JUST WOULDN'T LET HIM GO. FOUR-YARD LOSS. HAND OFF INSIDE. FLYING DOWNHILL WAS TATUM BETHUNE TO SLAM INTO WILLIAMS THAT TIME. THIRD AND LONG. >> Kirk: IF YOU COULD TELL AT HOME, THIS IS A HARD-HITTING GAME. I MEAN, THERE ARE GUYS FLYING AROUND OUT HERE. AND THERE ARE SOME BIG HITS LIKE THIS. BOOM, RIGHT THERE. GOOD JOB THERE BY BETHUNE. HE'S FEELING IT RIGHT NOW. >> Chris: AGAIN, THIRD DOWN HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. 2 FOR 7. A TALL ORDER HERE, FINAL MINUTE HERE OF THE THIRD QUARTER. HERE COMES A FLAG. GETTING A LITTLE OVEREAGER WAS PATRICK PAYTON ON THE LEFT SIDE. >> Referee: OFFSIDE, IS 11, DE. >> Chris: THEY'LL NEED SIX. >> Kirk: MIKE NORVELL, HE'S GOING TO GO BACK TO TALLAHASSEE. HE'S REQUESTING TO HA HE'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF EXAMPLES OF GUYS PLAYING WITH A LITTLE MORE MENTAL TOUGHNESS. THEY'VE HAD SOME BIG PENALTIES. >> Chris: PICKING UP THE PRESSURE. DANIELS GETS IT OUCHT MAST, MAS TAYLOR MAKES THE CATCH. >> Kirk: TATE PENALTIIT'S THE P THEY'VE HAD THAT HAVE COST THEM. TAYLOR IS 6'6", 255. JASON TAYLOR'S SON. HE IS DANGEROUS. >> Chris: SECONDS TICKING AWAY. WILL THEY GET THE PLAYOFF? THEY DO. DANIELS TAKE A DOWNFIELD SHOT, OH, AND WIDE OPEN WAS BRIAN THOMAS! HAD TO WAIT FOR THE FOOTBALL. COULD NOT MAKE THE CATCH. >> Kirk: HE JUST GOT LOST IN COVERAGE. YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WHEN YOU PLAY MAN-TO-MAN, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S A MATCHUP ZONE OR MAN-TO-MAN, THERE'S JUST NOBODY OUT THERE. THOMAS LEAVES HIM ALONE. WATCH 20. JUST KIND OF HAS HIS EYES ON THE QUARTERBACK. FALLS TO THE INSIDE WITH LACY, LEAVING NOBODY THERE TO THE OUTSIDE AND THE NOLES VERY FORTUNATE THAT'S NOT A HUGE PLAY FOR LSU. >> Chris: WHAT >> Holly: WELL, COPACH, IT'S FOURTH AND TWO. >> WE FELT GOOD ABOUT THE CALL. MADE A GREAT PLAY IN THAT SITUATION. >> Holly: YOU JUST CALLED YOUR ENTIRE TEAM TOGETHER TO START THIS FOURTH QUARTER. WHAT WAS THE MESSAGE YOU DELIVERED? >> PLAY 15 MINUTES, PUT EVERYTHING ON THE LINE. >>> MAKE SURE WE'RE PLAYING HARD. PLAY SMART AND NOT HAVING ANY FOOLISH PENALTIES. LET'S GO FINISH THIS THING. >> Holly: THANKS COACH. >> Chris: HE'LL BE THRILLED WHEN HE LOOKS UP TO SEE RENALDO GREEN. >> Kirk: NABERS FALLS DOWN HERE. A GOOD JOB STEPPING UP IN FRONT OF THAT. GREEN WINS THIS ONE. NABERS SLIPS, LOSES FOOTING. BALL JUST A LITTLE BIT LATE OUT INTO THE FLAT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO BE A COMPLETION EITHER WAY. BUT GREENS IT A SEES IT. >> Chris: FIRST INTERCEPTION DANIELS HAS THROWN TONIGHT. GOING TO CHECK AND SEE IF HIS KNEE WAS DOWN WHERE HE MADE THE CATCH. >> Kirk: WATCHING IN REAL TIME, IF IT DIDN'T TOUCH, IT CAME CLOSE. I WAS GOING TO BRAG ON HIM FOR BEING ABLE TO NOT TOUCH SOMEHOW. >> Chris: DON'T BRAG ON HIM YET. >> WE GOT A KNEE DOWN. THEY'RE GOING TO BRING THE BALL BACK TO THAT SPOT. >> Chris: YOU COULD WANT TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF THE OFFICIAL, LETTING THE MAY GO. PLAY GO. >> WE SAY IF YOU KNOW THE CALL, MAKE THE CALL. IF YOU HAVE DOUBT, YOU'RE NOT SURE, LEAVE IT ALONE. CAN YOU ALWAYS BRING IT BACK. ASSUMING REPLAY DOES THEIR JOB. CH . >> Chris: FSU IS GOING TO HAVE POSSESSION. TRAVIS WAS STRUGGLING IN THE SECOND QUARTER. HE GOT HIS RHYTHM BACK. FIVE FOR FIVE, THROWING THE BALL FOR 98 YARDS. THIS BALL'S GOING TO BE MOVED BACK. >> Referee: AFTER REVIEW, THE DEFENDER'S KNEE WAS DOWN WITH THE BALL AT THE 43 YARD LINE. FOURTH DOWN, FLORIDA STATE. >> Chris: SO IT COST THEM ABOUT 40 YARDS, BUT THEY'RE STILL IN GOOD POSITION. >> Kirk: FLORIDA STATE HAS A LOT OF MOMENTUM. LOOK HOW CLOSE THEY ARE TO THEIR OWN END ZONE. >>> HIT A HUGE THROW DOWNFIELD. PUT IT RIGHT ON THE MONEY TO GET THAT DRIVE GOING TO KEON COLEMAN. WHAT AN EFFORT THERE ON FOURTH COUNSEL DOW DOWN. WHAT A HECK OF A READ AND FEEL THERE BY TRAVIS. THESE DRIVES GET MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT. >> Chris: DRIVE REPLAY BROUGHT TO YOU BY CAMPING WORLD. THEY'RE BEGINNING TO GET A LITTLE TRACTION WITH THE RUNNING GAME. >> Kirk: AND, AGAIN, HE'S NOT BLOCKING ANYBODI-TH BLOCKING BLOCKING ANYBODY ON THIS PLAY. THEY'RE HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING PENETRATION WITH THAT TWO-BACK LOOK IN THE BACKFIELD. >> Chris: A WRINKLE SINCE HALF IT TIME. THEY GO WITH IT AGAIN ON THIS SNAP. BENSON AGAIN. RUNS THROUGH TACKLES. THAT'S WHAT HE DOES. THE FIRST GUY THERE RARELY GETS HIM DOWN. TO AVERAGE MORE THAN FOUR PER CARRY AFTER CONTACT IS BIG. >> Kirk: ABSOLUTELY. THAT TIME THEY BROUGHT THE BLITZ THERE WITH GREG BROOKS. GOT TO GIVE FLORIDA STATE'S OFFENSIVE LINE A LOT OF CREDIT. IT'S BEEN A BATTLE WITH MEKHI WINGO. THEY HAVE HUNG IN THERE. SEE WHO WINS THIS FOURTH QUARTER IN THE TRENCHES. >> Chris: A DIFFERENT LOOK BAUGH TBUT A WOULD-BA TWO-BACK SET. ANDRE' SAM WASN'T HAVING IT. >> Kirk: THEY'RE STARTING TO GET INTEREST EYES IN T THEIR EYES IN THE BACKFIELD. THEIR APPROACH WITH HOW THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR IS TRYING TO DEAL WITH TRAVIS IS OBVIOUS. SEE IF YOU CAN DIAL IT UP TO GET PRESSURE. >> Chris: NOLES HAVE BEEN FAR MORE EFFICIENT THAN LSU. 7 FOR 12. THEY NEED EIGHT. TRAVIS TAKEN OFF. HAS BLOCKERS, AND JORDAN TRAVIS SKIPS OUT-OF-BOUNDS INSIDE THE 30. IT'S FSU'S TURN TO USE A DESIGNED QUARTERBACK RUN. >> Kirk: YOU'VE GOT THAT THREE RECEIVERS, FOUR RECEIVERS, AND JUST THE ENTIRE LSU DEFENSE TO THE LEFT. THEN THEY BRING THAT QUARTERBACK COUNTER BACK TO THE RIGHT. THEY JUST OUTNUMBERED THEM. >> Chris: MAN, HE'S BEEN PRECISE. NOW HE PICKS UP THIRD TEAM. WHEN THE QUARTERBACK CAN DO TWO DIFFERENT THINGS TO MOVE THE STICKS. >> Kirk: TELL YOU. WHAT MIKE NORVELL CALLED A HECK OF A GAME HERE. >> Chris: AND THEY FLIP TO COLEMAN. HE MAKES A NICE LITTLE CUT BEFORE JONES BRINGS HIM DOWN. A GREAT GAME IN DESIGNING PLAY HUH? >> Kirk: AS LSU'S DEFENSE GETS CLOSER TO THEIR OWN GOAL LINE, THE WAY JORDAN TRAVIS AND HIS FLORIDA STATE OFFENSE HAVE GOT MOMENTUM AND FIGURED OUT THINGS WORKING, A BIG DRIVE FOR THE TIGERS' DEFENSE. THEY LOOK TIRED. >> Chris: TRAVIS ON THE MOVE AGAIN, SCANNING DOWNFIELD AND FIRES ACROSS THE MIDDLE. AND THAT'S JOHNNY WILSON MAKING ANOTHER FIRST DOWN CATCH, FIRST AND GOAL NOLES. >> Kirk: I CAN'T FIGURE JOHNNY WILSON OUT. HE DROPS A COUPLE EASY ONE AND MAKES A COUPLE TOUGH CATCHES. ROLLING OUT. EYES DOWNFIELD. HAVING A CHANCE BECAUSE OF THE ACCURACY OF THE BALL TO GET DOWN TO PROTECT HIMSELF TO GET THAT BALL INTO HIS ARMS AND LOWER HIS SHOULDER BEFORE SAM HITS HIM. THERE'S 14 ON 14 RIGHT THERE. A BIG MAN THAT SAM HADTBALL NOT DONE AFTER THIS ONE. CLEMSON, CHART NUMBER NINE AGAINST DUKE. THEY FIGURE THEY HAVE A LOT OF TIGER FANS THERE. >> Kirk: A CHANCE TO SEE GARRETT RILEY, THE NEW PLAY CALLER. RILEY LEONARD FROM S IN A BIG DAYS, PAC-12 IS LOADED AT OREGON STATE THIS CONFERENCE OF THE. THEY'RE DANGEROUS. >> Chris: HERE'S A BIG SEQUENCE. SEM KNOWL SEMINOLES TRYING TO EXTEND THIS TO A TWO-TOUCHDOWN LEAD. THEY HAVE A FIRST AND GOAL AT THE NINE. TOAFILIS, CUTS IT BACK INSIDE. LOOKS LIKE ANDRE' SAM IS OKAY. TRAINERS LOOKING AT HIM. THAT DID GET LSU. YOU SAID THEIR DEFENSE WAS GETTING WORN DOWN, A CHANCE TO GET A BREATHER. NICE TO SEE HIM WITH THE HELMET BACK ON. >> Kirk: HE SPENT FIVE YEARS AT McNEESE STATE. MARSHALL LAST YEAR. SEVENTH YEAR OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND A PLAYER THEY THINK CAN BE VERY VALUABLE TO THEM IN THE BACK END OF THAT >> Chris: SHE WH >> Chris: SEE WHAT NORVELL IS THINKING OF HERE. GOT A LOT OF OPTIONS. TRAVIS IN THE POCKET, LONG, LOOPING THROW. KEON COLEMAN HAS A HAT TRICK IN HIS FIRST GAME AT FLORIDA THE EX-PSPARTAN SHOWING WHY HE WAS SO COVETED. >> Kirk: RECOGNIZING THE MATCHUP. COLEMAN, 6'4" CAN GO UP IN THE AIR, BEING A BASKETBALL PLAYER. CHESTNUT WHO'S HAD HIS HANDS FULL OVER THERE, THE SYRACUSE TRANSFER, 5'11", PUTS IT UP IN THE AIR. EASY PITCH AND CATCH THERE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN FOR THE NOLES. >> Chris: WE SAID BOTHLE TEA TED ADD TO THE ROSTERS. SOME THINK NORVELL PLAYED THE PORTAL GAME BETTER THAN ANYBODY OF THE. MAYBE EXCEPTION FOR COACH PRIME. >> Kirk: I WAS ABOUT TO SAY. >> Chris: JORDAN TRAVIS, THREE TOUCHDOWN PASSES, ALL OF THEM TO HIS NEW BUDDY, KEON COLEMAN. AND MIKE NORVELL SAYS SINCE HALFLE TYP >> Kirk: THREE TOUCHDOWNS AND A PICK. A COUPLE THROWS WERE UNCHARACTERISTIC. >> Chris: TLEECLAYTON WON'T LET GO. SO SOME URGENCY NOW FOR DANIELS, DOWN BY 14. CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS ONE. 40,000 EXTRA FOLKS. IT'S GOING TO BE QUITE A SCENE FOR GAME DAY DOWN THERE. AND OF COURSE INSIDE THE BALLPARK. >> Kirk: COLLEGE GAME DAY, GETTING YOU READY FOR NOT JUST THAT MATCHUP BUT ALL THE BIG GAMES. AND YOU AND I AND HOLLY HAVE A CHANCE AND OUR CREW TO BE IN THERE TO CALL THAT GAME. >> Chris: SOUNDS LIKE DOAK CAMPBELL STADIUM AT THE MOMENT. DRAGGED DOWN IS BRADFORD! GILBER EDMOND, ONE OF THOSE RESERVES, ROTATING IN OFF THE END. >> Kirk: A MISCUE THERE. UP FRONT. YOU SEE IT. UP FRONT THIS OFFENSIVE LINE H EMERY JONES, JUST UNABLE TO SUSTAIN THAT BLOCK. I DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS EXPECTING MASON TAYLOR TO HELP ON A COMBO BLOCK, BUT NOBODY THERE TO HELP OUT. MADE IT VERY EASY, EYES IN THE BACKFIELD, TO COME ONE A TACKLE FOR LOSS. >> Chris: SECOND AND 15. DANIELS, FLUSHED. AND HE'LL BE DRAGGED DOWN AT THE 11! GOING BACKWARDS. JOSHUA FARMER MADE THE PLAY. GOING CRAZY HERE NOW. >> Kirk: DJ LUNDY AGAIN. I TELL YOU, THIS LINEBACKER HAS BEEN ALL OVER THE FIELD. NUMBER 10 IN THE MIDDLE. WATCH HIM MOVE AND FLUSH JAYDEN DANIELS. THAT TIME THEY'RE ABLE TO FLUSH HIM, WITH BOTH, TO THE LEFT AND INTO THE RIGHT. >> Chris: FLORIDA STATE DEFENSE AND CROWD CAN SMELL BLOOD HERE. THIRD AND 22. A WHOLE BHUFRNGS OF NEW SEMINOLES CAME ON. IT WAS LIKE A HOCKEY LINE CHANGE. LONG THROW, CATCH BY TAMA THOMA. FSU UP FRONT, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE MISCUE, YOU SAID IN FIRST DOWN, THE MOMENTUM JUST BUILT AFTER THAT. >> Kirk: A BIG NEFOCUS. THE FIRST DOWN PLAY, THE FIVE-YARD-LAW SET THEM UP PERFECTLY. >> Chris: FULL VOICE, THIS FLORIDA STATE CROWD. CAME IN AS UNDERDOGS WILL THIN GAME. NEITHER FAN BASE WAS TERRIBLY CONFIDENT THEIR SIDE WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. AND THE NOLES FAITHFUL LOUD AND VOCAL. THAT PUNT WAS DANGEROUS. CAME CLOSE TO BOUNCING INTO A FLORIDA STATE PLAYER. ROLLS DEAD. EIGHT TACO BELL LIVE MAS. THE SEMINOLES DOMINATING, WOULD LOVE TO CHEW ON SOME CLOCK. IN YOU' NOLES FANS REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED A YEAR AGO. >> Kirk: IT ENDED UP BEING A ONE-POINT GAME. >> Chris: PICKING HIS WAY THROUGH IS BENSON AND JUST POWERING FOR A 12-YARD GAIN INTO LSU TERRITORY. >> Kirk: WE TALKED AT HALFTIME. WE SAID WHAT COULD GET JORDAN TRAVIS GOING? LIKE ANY QUARTERBACK, A RUNNING GAME. AND THAT'S WHAT MIKE NORVELL AND HIS STAFF HAVE COMMITTED TO. TRAVIS HAS MADE THE EXPLOSIVE PLAYS. IF YOU'RE A NOLES FAN, YOU'VE GOT TO BE REALLY EXCITED WITH THIS VETERAN OFFENSIVE LINE. THE ADJUSTMENT AND HOW IT'S OPENED UP THEIR RUNNING GAME. >> Chris: TALK ABOUT JAHEIM BELL, HE'S BEEN HELPING AS A BLOCKER TONIGHT. ONLY ONE CATCH, BUT HE'S MADE AN IMPACT IN THE GAME, IN THIS TWO-BACK LOOK. AND NOW IT WAS GOING TO BE A RECEIVER, BUT HE WASN'T LOOKING FOR THE FOOTBALL. TRAVIS JUST THROWED IT INTO THE GROUND. HOLLY? >> Holly: THEY HAVE DEVELOPED SOME SPECIAL CHEMISTRY TONIGHT. BUT IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. JORDAN STAYS AFTER PRACTICE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE SESSION TO GET EXTRA THROWS IN WITH KEYON. THEY'LL TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT TO FIX AND CHANGE AND HE'LL ENCOURAGE HIM. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT'S COMING EASY, BUT I PROMISE YOU, IT'S WEEKS AND WEEKS OF PRACTICE. >> Chris: HERE'S TRAVIS ON THE MOVE, AND HE FLIPS IT WIDE OPEN. BELL! A BUNK FLORIDA STATE MAY HAVE JUST STUCK THE DAGGER IN YOU SAID HE'D BEEN A BLOCKER, A DECOY, 44 YARDS. >> Kirk: WATCH WHAT THEY END UP DOING WITH HIM HERE. YOU'LL SEE, AS THE PLAY ROLLS ON, WATCH HIM. HE'S ACTUALLY SHOWING LIKE HE'S BLOCKING, AND THEN HE ENDS UP RELEASING. THAT'S WHAT AFFECTED THE SAFETIES. THEY JUST IGNORED HIM BECAUSE HE DID A GOOD JOB OF SHOWING THAT STEM BLOCK. THEY IGNORE HIM. HE RELEASES, AND RATE ON CUE, CHRIS, HE COMES ONE A HUGE PLAY. >> Chris: HE'S FROM VALDOSTA, GEORGIA. WELL AWARE OF THE NOLES. BEEN A PRODUCTIVE PLAYER AT SOUTH CAROLINA. YOU WONDER WHY HE TRANSFERRED? HE WANTS TO AND PART OF THIS OFFENSE. AND JORDAN TRAVIS, AND JORDAN, HE'S FEELING IT, SAYING BUH-BYE TO THE LSU F LAUNCHING A ROCKET. 24 UNANSWERED FOR THE SEMINOLES. TOUCHDOWN, FIELD GOAL, TOUCHDOWN, TOUCHDOWN, TOUCHDOWN ON THE LAST FIVE DRIVES. FROM INSIDE, HARD, HIT DELIVERED AT THE 14 YARD LINE. WHAT A STATEMENT. YOU THOUGH TKNOW THE REMINDER WE NO DOUBT". THEY HAVE BEEN DOMINANT SINCE HALFTIME. >> Kirk: INCREDIBLE WHAT MIKE NORVELL HAS DONE IN THE FOUR YEARS. YOU GO TO THE END OF THE JIMBO FISHER ERA. 7 AND 6. THEN THEY'RE 6 AND 7, THE COVID YEAR THEY'RE 3 AND 6, 5 AND 7. LAST YEAR, 10 AND 3. THESE NOLES FANS HAVE BEEN DESPERATE TO GET A TEAM THEY CAN BE EXCITED ABOUT. YOU SAW THE BEGINNING OF IT LAST YEAR AND THE CONTINUATION THIS YEAR. >> Chris: NABERS MAKES THE CATCH AND USHERED OUT AT THE 37. THEY DOUBLED INTEREST WINDOW T. IT WILL GET EVEN LOUDER UP TO THIS GAME, EXPECT IT TO CHALLENGE AND MAYBE UNSEAT THE TIGERS. THEY'LL MEET IN DEATH VALLEY IN JUST A FEW WEEKS. CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT ONE. >> Kirk: BUT JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT MIKE NORVELL FACED. HE TOOK OVER A PROGRAM THAT HAD REALLY STRUGGLED IN THREE STRAIGHT YEARS, RIGHT? AND NOT ONLY THAT, IT'S COVID. ALL THE RESTRICTIONS THAT HE HAD TO DEAL WITH, HE TOOK A LOT OF NEGATIVE ENERGY AROUND THE PROGRAM. SOME PEOPLE, EVEN HIS OWN FANS QUESTIONED IF HE WAS THE RIGHT GUY. >> Chris: >> Kirk: THE BIG YEAR LAST YEAR, YOU DON'T SEE, '22, THOSE TOUGH YEARS, THEY LOSE THREE STRAIGHT, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR, THEY FINISH WITH SIX STRAIGHT WINS, INCLUDING THE BOWL WIN. AND NOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A TEAM COMING OFF A TEN-WIN SEASON, PLAYING LSU, AND THEY'RE UP 38-1. A L 17. >> Chris: THEY'VE BEEN DOING THAT ROUTINELY. 17. >> Chris: THEY'VE BEENENOING THAT ROUTINELY.. THIS MAKES IT SEVEN GAMES IN A ROW, KIRK. THEY'RE ALL WINS, OF COURSE, THAT'S LONGEST ACTIVE STREAK. YOU'RE GOING TO BEAT THIS TEAM. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO OUTSCORE THEM. THEY'VE SHOWN A LOT OF DEPTH. >> Kirk: THAT'S BIGGEST DIFFERENCE, THE DEPTH THAT THEY HAVE, AND THEY'RE PHYSICAL AT THE POINT OF ATTACK. >> Chris: DANIELS IS REQUESTI GOIGOING TO BE DRAGGED DOWN. >> Kirk: HE'S GOT THAT MOVE, QUICKNESS TO GO AROUND THE EDGE AND THE BEND. BUT THAT TIME HE JUST USED SHORT POWER TO PUSH CAMPBELL RIGHT INTO THE QUARTERBACK. >> Chris: BALL COMES OUT QUICKLY, AND A LONG THROW AND CATCH TO BRIAN THOMAS WHO'S SHOVED OUT OF BOUNDS, BUT, AGAIN, THE CLOCK HAD CONTINUEWI TO RUN. AND THEY SNAP THIS THIRD AND NINE. FOURTH DOWN AND FOUR. DANIELS, WHIPS IT ACROSS THE MIDDLE. CATCH MADE, NO FIRST DOWN! LACY, STOPPED BY TATUM BETHUNE, AND THE NOLES GET YET ANOTHER TURNOVER AND DOWNS, AND THAT SHOULD DO IT. >> Kirk: WHAT INSTINCTS THERE BY TATUM BETHUNE, HE AND DJ LUNDY HAVE PLAYED INCREDIBLY WELL IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS DEFENSE. HEAD'S ON A SWIVEL. SEES THAT CROSSER UNDERNEATH AND THEN THAT CLOSING SPEED. FLORIDA STATE FIRED UP. THEY'VE MORE THAN LIKELY JUST SECURED VICTORY. >> Chris: DEFENSE HAS DONE A GOOD JOB. GOOD JOB ON THIRD DOWN, IN THE FOURTH DOWN, STOPS HAVE BEEN ENORMOUS HERE THAT. ONE JUST ABOUT TURNING OUT THE LIGHTS ON THE TIGERS. YOU LIKE THEIR LINEBACKERS, KALEN DeLOACH. BETHUNE, JONES, GREEDY VANCE CAN COME DOWN FROM THE NICKEL AND CONTRIBUTE, TOO. HILL ON A DELAY, AND THEY HAVE FINALLY WORN DOWN THAT LSU FRONT, STEADILY DONE SO HERE IN THE SECOND HALF. GOOD YEAR PROVIDING AERIAL COVERAGE ABOVE CAMPING WORLD STADIUM. CELEBRATING THE CHALLENGE OF ROAD GAMES EVERYWHERE. ARE YOU READY FOR THE ROAD? GOOD YEAR, MORE DRIVEN. SOUTHERN MISS UP NEXT FOR THE SEMINOLES, THEIR ONLY SEPTEMBER HOME GAME. AT BC, FOLLOWED BY AT THE CLEMSON TIGERS. THE NEMESIS, THEY'VE BEATEN THEM SEVEN TIMES IN A ROW. ON HAROLD PERKINS, WHO'S HAD A QUIET NIGHT. HE'S CAPABLE OF WRECKING AN OPPONENT'S OFFENSE. DIDN'T DO SO TONIGHT. >> Kirk: YOU TAKE A RISK WHEN YOU PLAY THESE KINDS OF GAMES. WHAT'S IMPORTANT, YOU HAVE 11 GAMES. YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN FROM THIS LOSS. GRAMBLING STATE COMING UP. ARKANSAS, MISSISSIPPI STATE. THOSE ARE THEIR NEXT THREE GAMES. THEY'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE FILM ROOM. THEY THOUGHT THEY'D COME MOO TH INTO THIS GAME, BUT THEY STILL HAVE A VERY, VERY SPECIAL YEAR. >> Chris: THAT WILL BE THE MESSAGE, WITH A THREE-POINT HALFTIME LEAD JUST GOT COMPLETELY OUT OF HAND. FSU, MORE PHYSICAL, JUST BANGING AROUND, BULLYING ON LSU. >> Kirk: HOW ABOUT RODNEY HILL, ROED NIH RODNEY HILL SAYS CAN I GET IN ON THE ACT? HE'S SITTING ON THE SIDELINE, I'M NOT JUST COMING OUT HERE TO RUN THE CLOCK. I'M GOING TO ROWLOWER MY SHOULD. >> Chris: HE'S BEEN BANGED UP IN CAMP. BUT THEY BELIEVE HE HAS A BIG FUTURE. THIS IS NOT JUST A VICTORY. THIS IS A STATEMENT BY FLORIDA STATE. A STATEMENT BY THE ACC. A LITTLE END AROUND. NOW JUST HAVING A LITTLE FUN AS DEUCE SPANN KNOCKED OUT-OF-BOUNDS. YOU WATCH SOUTH CAROLINA, A PRETTY EVEN MATCHUP. NOW FLORIDA STATE HAS UNDERDOGS LAYING IT ON ANOTHER TEAM FROM THE SEC. THE VRBO RANKINGS. K >> Kirk: WHAT COLORADO DID CAUGHT EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION, IT SHOULD. AND WHAT THE ACC HAS DONE AS A CONFERENCE, MORE HIGH-PROFILE GAMES. NORTH CAROLINA LOOKED INCREDIBLY ATHLETIC AND PHYSICAL. I THINK MACK BROWN HAS A HECK OF A TEAM AT CHAPEL HILL. >> Chris: WHERE DO YOU RANK THE BUFFALOES? AFTER THE OPENING GAME? YOU GOT TO GIVE ME A LITTLE FUN. >> Kirk: YOU'VE HAD 20 YEARS OF MISERY. >> Chris: NOT 20 YEARS OF MISERY. >> Kirk: 2002 WAS YOUR LAST TEAM THAT WAS REALLY GOOD. >> Chris: COVID YEAR, OKAY. WE'RE NOT GET THAMGT. >> Kir THAT. >> Kirk: I'M GOING BACK TO 2002. WHAT WAS THAT GUY'S NAME. >> Chris: CHRIS BROWN. >>> I DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE 20 YEARS OF MISERY. THE LAST COUPLE HAVE BEEN BAD. >> Kirk: MY GOSH, CHRIS, IT'S BEEN TERRIBLE. THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU APPRECIATE WHAT COACH PRIME HAS DONE. 20 YEARS, WE HAVEN'T SAID COLORADO ON TV. >> Chris: NOT IN A GOOD WAY. >> Kirk: NO. >> Chris: DOWN INSIDE THE FIVE. IT'S FIRST AND GOAL. THEY'RE STILL HUNGRY TO TACKLE ON ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN. >> Kirk: THEY'RE NOT EVEN LOOKING AT THE SCOREBOARD. THEY'RE JUST OUT THERE EXECUTING. ALTHOUGH THIS SAYS A LOT ABOUT A QUARTERBACK. THE WAY HE MAYES THE GAPLAYS TH DOESN'T IT? THAT'S PATRICK MAHOMES STYLE, RIGHT? WHATEVER IT TAKES. WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO AND ATHLETE, USE YOUR QUICKNESS AND SPEED OR LOW YOU ARE YOER YOUR . THIS KID IS REALLY SPECIAL. >> Chris: HE'S RESILIENT. HE GOT BOOED AT HOME GAMES EARLY IN HIS CAREER. HE VOLUNTEERED TO CHANGE POSITIONS. AND THEY'RE BANGING INTO THE END ZONE. THEY TACK ON MORE. THAT'S JAHEIM BELL WHO SCORES AS A RUNNER AFTER THE TOUCHDOWN CATCH EARLIER. HELLO! >> Kirk: HOW ABOUT HOW HE WENT INTO THE END ZONE. RIGHT OVER ZY ALEXANDER. THE CORNER, WHO JUST HAPPENED TO ACCIDENTALLY GET IN THE WAY. JUST GOT TRUCKED BY THE BIG TIGHT END. >> Chris: THIS WILL BE T THE, WITH THE P.A.T., 31 UNANSWERED SINCE HALFTIME. NOT JUST A W, BAUGUT A RESOUNDI STATEMENT. FLORIDA STATE SAYING WE'RE BACK. WE'RE A PLAYOFF CONTENDER. THAT'S ONLY STRENGTHENED AFTER THIS GAME. >> Kirk: GO BACK TO THE ADJUSTMENTS AT HALFTIME WHEN THEY WERE TRAILING. THEY CAME OUT, MADE ADJUSTMENTS, AND IT'S BEEN A DIFFERENT GAME FROM THAT POINT ON. HUNDRED DOLLA HUNDRED YARDS RUSHING. THERE'S ALEXANDER GETTING IN THE WAY. BELL SENDING THAT MESSAGE. BEEN THAT KIND OF NIGHT, THAT KIND OF SECOND HALF FOR THE SEMINOLES. >> Chris: YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO AGAINST A LSU TEAM AND MAUL THEM PHYSICALLY. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO FACE THIS TEAM FROM BATON ROUGE AND RUN ALL OVER THEM. >> Kirk: GOOD LOOK FROM THE PROGRESSIVE PILE ON CAM. THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ENERGY AND BUZZ AROUND THIS PROGRAM. BY THE WAY, WE'VE MISSED YOU. IT'S GREAT TO SEE FLORIDA STATE AND THAT THE FANS, THE ENERGY AROUND THIS PROGRAM, AND AFTER WINNING AND BEATING NUMBER FIVE, IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN A LONG TIME. UP TO JORDAN TRAVIS AND THE OTHER LEADERS ON HIS TEAM TO JUST STAY GROUNDED AND CONTINUE TO JUST PLAY. HUMBLE. PHYSICAL. BRAND OF FOOTBALL THAT THEY'RE PLAYING TONIGHT. >> Chris: REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR. THEY BEAT LSU, VERY DIFFERENT KIND OF GAME. STARTED OUT 4 AND 0. LOST THREE IN A ROW, BEGINNING WITH A LOSS TO CLEMSON. THEN THEY ROLLED SIX STRAIGHT. SO IT IS JUST ONE GAME. BUT IT'S ONE REALLY IMPRESSIVE GAME. >> Kirk: SURE IS. >> Chris: YARDAGE EDGE AFTER HALFTIME. 285. 285 YARDS OFFENSE AGAINST LSU IN THE HALF. >> Kirk: I GOT TO FILM THIS, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS IN A LONG TIME. >> Chris: YEAH. I'LL SHUT UP SO YOU CAN GET THE AUDIO. THAT'S PART OF T THEY ARE FULL VOICE HERE. THERE'S A LONG THROW AND THE CATCH IS MADE BY BRIAN THOMAS, AND LSU IS GOING TO BREAK THE SCORING STREAK OF 31-0 WITH THEIR FIRST POINTS AFTER HALFTIME. 5 A 75-YARD PLAY. >> Kirk: YOU PUT BACKS, DEFENSIVE BACKS IN. A TRUE FRESHMAN. YOU LIKE TO SEE THAT THEY AT LEAST KEEP FIGHTING. THOMAS IS A GUY THAT YOU THOUGHT COMING INTO TONIGHT, HE AND JAYDEN DANIELS WOULD GET SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE BIG PLAYS. UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE TIGERS, IT COMES VERY, VERY LATE IN THIS GAME. >> Chris: FIRST TOUCHDOWN PASS TONIGHT FOR DANIELS E ONE INTERCEPTION, SACKED FOUR TIMES, HARASSED A LOT. THAT JUST CAME ABOUT IN TERMS OF CLOCK TIME, ABOUT 20 MINUTES TOO LATE. THIS QUARTERBACK DUEL, THE WORK ETHIC. THERE'S SO MUCH TO ADMIRE ABOUT THE WAY THEY GO ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS, NOT JUST WHAT THEY CAN DO ON THE FIELD. WE SEE THEIR TALENTS, WE KNEW ABOUT THAT. BUT WHEN YOU SEE THE COACHES AND TEAMMATES TALK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF TEAMMATES AND LEADERS THEY ARE, AND DESPITE ALL THE EXPERIENCE, STILL GOING TO WORK EVERY SINGLE DAY TO GET BETTER. I REALLY APPRECIATE BOTH THESE QUARTERBACKS. >> Kirk: COMMUABSOLUTELY. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THESE GUYS WITH THE MATURITY. HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK EVERYBODY IN THAT LOCKER ROOM TONIGHT AND THIS WEEK AND GET THEM TO REALIZE, SUCH A LONG WAY TO GO. YOU STILL HAVE SUCH A GREAT YEAR. THIS IS JUST A DISAPPOINTING SETBACK. >> Chris: TWO KICKERS. THEY DON'T EXECUTE IT VERY WELL AS IT'S FIELDED VERY WELL BY THOMAS. HERE'S TRAVIS WHO'S THROWN FOR FOUR. >> Kirk: PRETTY BIG NIGHT. THERE WERE MOMENTS WHEN IT LOOKED A LITTLE BIT ROCKY EARLY. BUT HE CONTINUED TO FIND BIG RECEIVERS. COLEMAN HAD A SPECIAL NIGHT. THEY CONNECTED. THEY'VE BEEN WORKING, HOLLY REPORTED ON HOW MUCH TIME THEY'VE SPENT TOGETHER OVER THE SUMMER. SHOWED YOU INCREDIBLE AWARENESS AND ABILITY TO PULL THAT ZONE READ. AND HE GOT BACK TO HIS ARM. BECAUSE THE RUNNING GAME, GOT GOING IN THE SECOND HALF. ABLE TO OPEN UP SOME EXPLOSIVE PLAYS. CHRIS BROUGHT THAT UP ON OUR CALL WITH MIKE NORVELL. ONE OF THE TOP TEAMS. NUMBER THREE IN THE COUNTRY >>> AND THEY'RE OFF TO A PRETTY GOOD START TONIGHT IN THE FIRST GAME OF THE YEAR. >> Chris: YOU WAIT ALL OFFSEASON FOR THE START OF THE SEASON. YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY FANS GET EUPHORIC, AND WHY THEIR IS SUISA SWEET MOMENT FOR FLORIDA STATE. IT IS JUST ONE GAME, A LONG WAY TO GO. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HANDLE SUCCESS AND PATS ON THE BACK. BUT THERE'S A LOT TO LIKE ABOUT THE ADDITIONS TO AN ALREADY-TALENTED ROSTER, AND JORDAN TRAVIS IS GETTING BETTER IN HIS SIXTH YEAR OF FOOTBALL. >> Kirk: WHEN YOU GO THROUGH MISERY LIKE THEY DID A COUPLE YEARS WAG TH YEARS AGO WITH THIS COACH. WHEN YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT, IT KEEPS YOU FOCUSSED, EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE GOING TO GET A LOT OF ATTENTION. THAT'S PART OF HAVING A MATURE TEAM. >> Chris: IT'S A SEMINOLE SMACKDOWN HERE IN ORLANDO. THEY STILL HAVE NEVER LOST IN THIS CITY S 11 WINS AND TWO TIES. JADEN DANIELS WAS EFFECTIVE IN THE FIRST HALF. THEY COULDN'T GET ANYTHING GOING IN THE SECOND HALF, THE DEFENSE COULDN'T GET A SDOP TOP AT ALL AGAINST TRA
