MILES vs BENEDICT 2021

trying to get back on the win column and to do so they're gonna have to do it with two young quarterbacks absolutely we have two new starters this season so let's go to benedict's college first of course the tigers are looking at a freshman in zay foster now he is this is his first start granted for benedick but he comes with quite the pedigree from spartanburg south carolina a quarterback who they're looking to run their spread offense one who's done so in his high school days listen to wayne this guy is something special 12 touchdowns six of which were running six of which were passing and get this in his senior campaign no interceptions on the year wow on the other side reginald ruffin's miles club they're coming off a very disappointing 28 point loss to albany state he'll have to do it with a newbie himself yeah absolutely jaylen carter someone who is a transfer highly touted at uab highly recommended from uab he comes into the miles college program just days before the start of the season so he's now getting his first start hoping to get those guys back on track because of course they have a high-powered offense as well and with jalen carter the good thing is he has had some experience this season so he'll be someone who just as coach ruffin said will bring to the table his ability his run mobility and he'll bring to the table so much for that team just in terms of what they're able to do with their rpo as well all right so stay tuned we come back we'll have the starters plus the opening kick when we return you're watching siac football only on espn plus georgia

everybody to miles college where this afternoon the golden bears will host the benedict tigers dwayne walker along with tanitra batiste kickoff just seconds away and in case you're wondering it's a beautiful night for football benedict actually won the toss but they've elected to defer benedict will kick off moving left to right both teams will don nike jerseys this evening nike is the official apparel company of the southern intercollegiate athletic conference the miles golden bears will be dressed in their home purple jerseys with white larry and for benedict they've got white jerseys with purple lettering number 61 roberto tanoka tanoko excuse me we'll be kicking it off and back deep for miles will be number 11 la anthony robinson and my darius trijilo and there she blows it's going to be taken at the 7 yard line up to the 30 maybe the 35 yard line fantastic return on that play for miles that was number 81 colin woods on the return [Music] they'll mark this football at the 32-yard line so tanitra 24-yard return to get it going for this miles college offense and they're coming out with a new starter jalen parker he's thrown 11 times this year six for 11 66 yards including two touchdown passes yeah and you'd love to see them get that kind of good field position for this opening drive so let's see what parker's able to do in his first start of the season shotgun formation for miles college moving right to left parker will hand football off to the first man through and that is parker will hand the football off to the first man through and that is number 20 on the carry kingston davis davis with a quick hitter up the gut credit hunt with that tackle but not before a 14-yard gain first down in 10 for miles college at their own 47-yard line and that's what you want to see from the michigan transfer by way of uab by way of lane two miles who's starting the day for miles college there's an errand step and all parker can can do is go back and wallow on the football parker does recover that football and it's going to be marked at the 30-yard line that's a loss of 17 on that aaron snap and that's a tough one to start today at center four miles so hopefully they'll be able to get some of that yardage back in this next play second down in 27 twin receivers to the top of the formation as well as the bottom parker looking to the sideline to get the play booming crowd out here at miles college today such a pleasure to see second down in a long way 27 yards and they're gonna whistle that one down and let's see what we've got miles college that is their first time well a quick time out and we're just a minute and 28 26 seconds into the game but we'll keep it right here and tenisha so far a little miscue there by the miles college offense and i see coach reginald rough and he wants to clean that up right away yeah there were a number of plays early on in the game last week for miles where they had some snafu's that were pre-snapped so i do believe that coach ruffin wants to minimize that and kind of settle his guys down early in this game no question about it hey while we have this opportunity the siac is excited to let everyone know about the new brand logo rollout the league has announced a re-brand in coordination with strategic time for the league and by the way that new tagline is leaders rise here jay leaders rise here jalen the quarterback he's got second and a long way second and 27 triple cedars to the left he'll go for the downs looking for rashaan incomplete pass just out of the reach of the tight end on that play big number 89 rashad nelson the six foot four incher nelson stretch out just a little bit for that big play but what i'm liking is the fact that miles is going for it parker the opportunity to go deep third down in 27 trip wide receivers to the top of the formation parker waiting in the gun formation and now he'll give the offensive line the call and we'll set the starters here for you in just a second for miles college parker back to pass they'll throw a screen with it that's number 20 kingston davis cross midfield let's see where they mark this football just a little bit shy of the first down it's going to bring up a fourth down let's see [Music] miles college they come out with some explosion here big play fourth down we'll call it six yards from the benedict 47-yard line [Music] now they're looking to the sideline to get the count to get the play excuse me is there more confusion starting running backs today now we have another what do we have here benedict was indicating that there was a penalty on that and there is a delay of game on the part of miles maybe they wanted to give their kicker their punter excuse me a little bit of breathing room to punt that football will be number 41. [Music] let's see what are we doing here looks like there's some confusion on the miles college sideline they're looking for somebody to get in there and they send in number 21 my darius trojillo jackson spradlin will be doing the punting there's the snap there's the punt taken at the 21-yard line that's a 32-yard punt and grabbing that one was david grice no return on that play but that's where benedict college will take over the football led by their youngster making his first career start in zay foster number 14. and this is what you want to see from special teams on the part of miles college jackson spradling with a beautiful booming kick there but still good good field goal position or good field position from benedict for their opening drive first out and 10 from the 22-yard line foster with it scrambling now he'll run with it and he'll be dragged down at no gain on that play may have actually lost a yard number 54 coming up from his linebacking position from miles college that's jalen mcwhite the 510 junior out of phoenix city no gain on that play second down and 10 from the 22-yard line taking a look at the offensive starters for this benedict cal benedict college will get it after this play omarion coleman is the running back he just carried that there he's the starter at running back the wide receiver court chris williams is the ex senior jayden thomas is the y taven bryce is the h in the spread pro offense rashad mccain who had a touchdown last week he gets the start to tied in brian mcneal anchors that line the guards are a ron witherspoon dejuan duncan and the tackles are derrick jenkins jr and anthony crowley after this play we'll take a look at the mile starting defense third down and six after that four yard gain from the 26 yard line waiting is foster the lefty he steps up in the pocket has a notion to run he can get the first down he's up to the 30 35 up to the 40-yard line before diving out of bounds and that's exactly what you want to see from zave foster like we talked about earlier he has the ability to give benedict something on the ground and in the air and he's able to allow benedict to see those chains get moved on that uh that particular play that down 14-yard scamper by foster up to the 40-yard line and that's where benedict has it first down and 10 at their 40. moving left to right there's the snap option right and the pitch is going to be the coleman and he gets bumped aggressively out of bounds and check that that was number 25 griez on that carry a pickup of five second down and five for the miles defense kedarius robertson roosevelt thompson in the middle jalen thomas and cameron steed of the defensive ends hardy gayler and mcwhite are the linebackers rodney coleman is the leader of the defensive secondary trey giles mitchell smiley and james sawyer round out the defensive core for the golden bears 10 minutes 11 seconds to play no score you are watching siac football on espn plus zay foster will scramble out to his left on the second and five play and is complete to number 25 that's none other than tavin grice the six foot freshman out of lake charles give him a gain of one as we take a look at that replay to the far side of the football field mick white bumped him out of bounds but not before a meager one-yard game third and four from the 46. foster claps his hands twice now here comes in motion is phil young pass is complete oh enemy out of the hands correction he had it for a quick second and the football ricocheted off of his paws and that's darius phil on and that's one of those situations where you kind of feel that pressure coming duane and you anticipated so before you grab the ball you you see the pressure coming from miles college and that's the kind of pressure that makes you drop that ball yeah took his eyes off the football there momentarily nice coverage by number two rodney coleman and to do the punting for benedict that's jared eubanks and that football is going to roll out of bounds [Music] where they mark it [Music] that's a 40-yard punt yeah there's a time-out on the field we're going to take a timeout too with 9 21 to play in the first quarter play our score miles college nothing benedict college nothing and welcome back everyone to sloan alumni stadium on the campus of miles college dwayne walker along with tanita patrice no score with nine minutes and 21 seconds to play first quarter miles college has the football they'll give it to kingston davis up to the 20 25 30 35 and tripped out of bounds they're going to mark it at the 37 yard line so a quick 23 hitter there for kingston yeah and that's what you expect to see from miles college they are the team that are going to look they're the team that's going to look for that run to set up that pass the o-line giving kingston davis an opportunity there and then he pushes to the side and pushes that ball up the field first out at 10 at the 36 yard line that handoff again to kingston minimal gain call it a gain of one it'll bring up second out of nine for the tiger kingston davis taking over the rushing duties for an injured dante edwards second down to nine actually we'll call it no gain second and ten from the 31 yard line and now we have some motion and a flag is going to fly [Music] and we'll see what the call is from our referee alan murray prior to the snap false start number 52 offense five yard penalty remains second down unprovoked error on day five at the offensive lineman four miles college it'll set them back five yards second down and fifteen i'm excuse me denisha [Music] hand off to kingston davis he'll creep up to about the 32-yard line and dave is able to get a couple of those yards back he's of course averaging nearly four yards a carry this season and so you see him just kind of turning those legs a little bit so that they're at least in position on third down to possibly get a conversion here and keep the chains moving third down and 14 from the 32-yard line and once again quarterback number 10 jalen parker getting his first career start out of hoover alabama a transfer from uab and as we mentioned in the pregame first african-american quarterback to start at quarterback at hoover high school that pass is complete to the big tight end that's a shot on that reception russia nelson not nearly enough for a first down it's a gain of about eight yards it'll leave them six yards shy of the first down [Music] spradling in to do the putting for miles college and you're really seeing on these first couple drives where those we'll call them the first time starters and even a freshman in zay foster you're seeing kind of shakiness in terms of putting the offensive scheme and the game plan together so just looking to see these teams settle down a little bit and maybe see benedict make some moves on this next drive 38-yard punt by spradling and that's where the benedict tigers will take over their offense first and ten from the 23-yard line looks like they're getting some fresh footballs in there and here we go twin receivers to the right of the formation zay foster claps his hands in repetition four five straight times and now we'll get a little motion from the tight ends shotgun formation they'll hand off to oc coleman 30 35 40 45 50 yard line before being bumped out of bounds james sawyer number 38 the 6-2 defensive back out of fairfield bumped him out of bounds and i like the play call i thought there was an aggressive play call on first down giving omarion coleman the opportunity to show his burst to speed up that sideline 27-yard rush first down and 10 at midfield for benedict college moving left to right 6 25 to play no score dwayne walker to nietzsche batiste on that first down carry it's o.c again oc dragging the d with him gain of about three yards so coleman who by the way is just a freshman getting the starting duties today he's a freshman out of tampa florida looks good thus far and coleman of course looks good on and off the field as a 4.0 student since his days in high school excellent excellent in motion they option back that's christ up to down to the 45-44-43 before being tackled on that play the first man to hit him was number nine nick floyd third down and three tight formation now foster's clapping those hands again and now we have a jump and that's going to be a free play foster goes for the distance it's a long pass down and it's going to be caught at the six yard line and on top of that to boot there is a flag down so let's just hold the phone that pass complete to number 85 stephen campbell and a beautiful pass by zay foster beautiful read up for the defense as we get a look at the replay there you see the jump by number nine nick floyd ill advised and you see right there the past interference from trey giles on that play so first and goal first the opportunity offset offside number nine pass interference number thirteen those penalties decline first down all right so both of those penalties will be declined as you heard from our white cap referee allen murray and as a result that 35 yard pass play will stick to number 85 stephen campbell it'll be first down and goal from the six yard line but wait a minute we've got a quick break here and it looks as though they have a flag to pick up some laundry to pick up at the 43-yard line and we'll be back in business in just a second all right here we go murray blows his whistle first and goal from the six yard line foster with it now in motion now they'll option back the other way phil johns foster on the quarterback keeper touchdown bennett did college so zay foster with a little trickery on that option decides to keep the football for himself and he scores a touchdown and foster just if you look on that play does a nice little fake handoff to his running back fakes jukes and goes in for the first score of the day very very nice and for the extra point attempt for the benedict college tigers rick roberto tanoco and that extra point is good and with four minutes and 36 seconds to play in the first quarter of play st foster a six-yard quarterback keeper has his team leading miles college seven to nothing wednesday [Music] so [Music] as a global bank our game plan is to help clients manage their money we're a team of

strike first colin woods is back deep for miles college and what i liked on that drive to wayne was just a mix of run and pass and that foster was able to keep the tempo for benedict to be able to get the score coming back with that football [Music] and being driven out of bound there was number 11 la anthony robinson just a seven yard return actually give him eight yards on that return and that's where mal's college will have that football that last scoring drive for benedict college five plays 77 yards in two minutes and 16 seconds capped off by a six yard run by quarterback zay foster it'll be jalen parker's turn for miles college they have it first down and 10 at their own 18 yard line moving right to left fake handoff parker will throw the near side of the football field and sails that one into the miles college bench coach reginald ruffin in his 10th season at miles college has his hands on his hips right now as his offense trying to get on track here second down and 10 from the 18. twin receivers to the bottom of the set now they'll hand this one off and scampering up to the 20 25 up to the 30-yard line that's number 20 the ball carrier kingston davis 11-yard rush [Music] for davis and again you're seeing miles o-line give davis the opportunity to really just break free there and he's just a bruising back who's going to do what he has to do keep those legs turning to get those extra yards first down and 10 from the 29 yard line that carry is to number 30 who just checked into the game that's zerious keys and he'll get up to the 32 yard line running back by committee right now would you say tenetra is coach reginald ruffin trying to get that offense going yeah and for them that's what we were gonna we expected for this day dwayne because they of course are run first past second offense four yards on that carry up to the 33 they'll hand off the keys again maybe a gain of one it'll depend on the spot nonetheless it will bring up a third down situation miles college so far this season [Music] 35 on third downs coming in 24 of 68 on the season this is another one of those situations third down we'll call it five from the 34-yard line parker waiting for the step keys off to his left parker in the pocket going for the downs looking for a man it's going to be just out of the reach of number 17 jay andrews the freshman wide receiver from birmingham alabama and benedict really stacked the box on that play so it looks like the quarterback was just a little rushed the timing was just off and just out of the hands of the receiver jackson's presley number 43 will check into the game to do the punting for miles college and back deep for benedict college will be number 25 haven greiss he's the freshman out of lake charles louisiana and you look at the replay and jay andrews certainly wants that one back here's the snap oh tremendous rush they almost blocked that punt as a result it's going to be touched down at the 49-yard line and as a result that's just a 15-yard punt so very uncharacteristic by jackson spradling the junior kicker out of dora alabama but he was under tremendous pressure yes and it looks like benedict got just enough of a hand on that ball to be able to affect that kick and benedict who of course scored the first points today at midfield already and about to drive for possibly the second score of the day they have it two minutes and 47 seconds to play dwayne walker along with tanisha batiste you are here watching siec football on espn plus they option to the right foster with it and he's going to be dragged down he's going to lose some yardage and coming up from his linebacking position is number 54 jalen mcwhite the 510 junior out of phoenix city alabama we'll call it a loss of two it'll bring up second down and 12 from the 49-yard line and dwayne foster gave it a thought for a moment to pitch that ball off decided to hold for that and so was only able to get a couple yards on that but at least was able to retain possession jalen taylor number 28 checks into the benedict college lineup he's just to the right of zay foster who claps his hand in repetition four times he'll fake the foster foster looking into the corner and it's incomplete little mix-up maybe on that route as that pass was intended for number 85 stephen campbell campbell has already caught a big hitter earlier a 35 yarder from foster third down it is a triple receiver set to the top twins to the bottom foster by his lonesome in the backfield waiting for the snap it's third down and 12 from the 49-yard line play clock's running down waiting for the snap there it is foster in the pocket now rolling to his left has some room if he decides to run he does 50 45 40 35 yard line first down benedict college tigers so well well well he got on his horse and wrote it for 16 yards and you look at foster just being mindful of what the defense has given him all of his receivers downfield covered well so foster just takes off down the sideline got a little bit of a spring from his o-line and a little bit of a block there from his receiver as well to be able to get some big yardage for benedict on that last play first down in 10 at the 35-yard line of miles college once again benedict college threatening with a buck 23 to play first quarter in motion comes phil young they give it to him down to the 32 and he's going to be tackled from behind excellent coverage on that play by number nine coming up from his linebacking position that's nick floyd the 511 linebacker out of phoenix city gain of three however second and seven number 28 in the backfield jalen taylor just off to the left of zay foster getting his first career start here at benedict college in motion goes foster they'll throw it in a flat and it's incomplete that pass intended for jalen taylor from foster but it's sales incomplete and then we get a look at the miles college defense they have their hands on their hips could they be tired at this juncture of our ball game denisha yeah i think so because you look at what benedict's been able to do in terms of up tempo they keep that offense moving and so yeah those guys on miles defense are getting a little bit winded [Music] all right foster waiting in shotgun formation going in motion is tucker foster steps up in the pocket decides to run and he's going to smartly run out of bounds at the 31-yard line so maybe a pickup of one smart decision on foster's on foster by not forcing the issue there yeah absolutely and also not taking the second you look at miles defense they seem to be a little bit ready more prepared this time for foster to take off so they're able to at least hold on third down and maybe even hold benedict to a field goal well miles college has 12 players on the field right now they need to get somebody off let's see 2 4 6 8 10 12. let's see if the referee catches it they've got 12 men on the field all right so in to do the punting is eubanks let's see if miles college slides somebody up they've got 12 on the field coach reginald ragland he sees it and motions and now he has a conversation with this special teamers and as a result there's going to be a time out on the field because it's our quarter break and after one quarter play our score benedict college seven miles college no score you're watching siac football on espn plus [Music] and welcome back there you go look at one of our bands here today both bands will be performing today we'll tell you who they are give you all the intricate details before halftime second quarter of play set to go benedict college with the football on fourth down and five that pass is complete down to the 12 yard line it looks like but that's complete that football complete to number 19. taishan presley and again i love the aggressive play calling coming out first play of the second quarter from offensive coordinator eric heisman to move the chains for benedict football the 13 yard line 23 yards on that first down and 10 from the 13 yard line now the tight ends shift to the left side of the field and that football is going to be carried flip number they give that football to tenisha having a the sun is shining a beautiful day don't get me wrong but there's a bit of a glare yes as the sun is shining and it looked like number 24 coleman on that carry number 24. yep you are absolutely right and it looks like there was some motion on the play and then omarion coleman takes that ball but looks like miles college was ready for for that particular run and was able to stuff him on first down shelton on the stop for miles college not before a two yard gain second down at eight from the 11 yard line of miles college foster the quarterback waiting and now we have a timeout [Music] all right so benedict college will use their first time out of the half there's a time out on the field with 13 38 to play in the second quarter our score the benedict college tigers seven the miles college golden

career with ubs [Music] welcome back to sloan alumni stadium benedict college they have the football and they are threatening they have it second down and eight at the miles college 11 yard line zay foster has a notion he'll find an open man for a touchdown for benedict college a quick strike to number 82 that's eddie mcneal eddie neal excuse me the tight end out of okeechobee florida and so far rashad watson's defense just hasn't had an answer for zay foster and company you'll see right there the quick snap and you'll see the fake handoff and right there just easy money for benedict tanoko in to kick the extra point attempt kick is on the way and that kick is good well my oh my there's 13 33 to play in the first half and our score the benedict college tigers 14 miles college no score after the 11 yard hookup to eddie neal and welcome back everybody take a look at some of our dancers here coming up at halftime the benedict band of distinction followed by the miles purple marching machine but marching that's just what the benedict college offense they've been doing they lead it by a score of 14 nothing collins will take the football after 10 after the kickoff up to the 20 and he's going to be cut down at about the 22 yard line first man on the tackle there for benedict college is number 39 daequan bloodsaw the running back out of sanderville that last drive for benedict college nine plays 45 yards and four minutes and 14 seconds capped off by the 11-yard touchdown as you see there foster to neal but should we be surprised coach janice berry he's known for putting points on the board absolutely the former offensive coordinator from southern university that's what he does and he hasn't said foster a weapon 4-7 completion so far 57 percent of his completions this game parker on the quarterback keeper he'll get up to the 27-yard line as well they'll mark it that's a pickup of five yards second down and five second down [Music] fakes it to davis but decides to keep the football himself and he just almost got out of the grasps of number five joshua hayward coming up from his defensive back position second and five to carry davis right up the gut and he is going to trip ahead to the 38 yard line but that's 37-yard line and as a result that's a 12-yard pickup enough for first down and that's a play that's been absolutely working for miles so far this game trip wide receivers and now parker tries to keep the football himself but he's got to be tackled behind the line of scrimmage number 51 dietrich starks coming up from his linebacking position the freshman out of columbia south carolina and there's a flag down coach janis perry is not happy our officials will discuss it along the 33-yard line and we'll hear from referee allen murray in just a second our officiating crew doing a fine job this afternoon on a beautiful afternoon for football or late late afternoon i should say dwayne walker along with tanitra batiste and i know we haven't had an opportunity to go into each of these coaches reginald ruffin in his uh 10th season and janice berry it is really arguably his first season uh both guys have made immediate impacts in their communities and it's such a beautiful thing to see especially off the field absolutely and both of these coaches talked to us earlier in the week about their commitment to not just the excellence of their players on the field but off the field they are both in fact you look at what benedict college is able to do and you look at coach barry saying he's about the a's b c's and d's chasing those in the classroom c's for championships and d's for chasing degrees all right second down from the 36 second and 10. who is that is that kingston davis with the football beautiful carry by davis as he scampers ahead into benedict territory that's a 15-yard pickup and a first down for miles college indeed and davis has really been the offense for miles college so far this afternoon you'll see right there just the direct snap and then the handoff and davis just looks for some daylight his o-line is giving him some room and he gets to that second level once again on benedict's defense first and ten from the benedict 48 that pass is complete and it goes down to the 28-yard line 28-yard pass play and the football was complete to cohen hudson the graduate student out of charlotte north carolina and we're seeing that quick toss to hudson that's that kind of tempo that miles is going to need to be able to get back in this game credit him 19 on that play first and 10. parker lofts that one in the into the bench for myles colley and wisely because he was under duress yeah that was absolutely going to be a sack for benedict's d-line but makes a wise choice there to just toss it just throw it away cj swann was in hot pursuit of parker and parker did the wise thing and got rid of the football second down and ten from the 29-yard line of benedict for miles college moving left to right 11 22 to play in the first half of play trip wide receivers to the near side of the football field waiting for the snap patiently there it is now they'll go to the left it's going to be davis and davis is going to be corralled by a host of benedict tigers and grabbing him there at literally at the feet is number 95 luber donales he's the six footer out of naples florida we've heard a lot of fantastic things about him coming out of southeastern university and ayelet jeter also there to meet him because they're making sure this time benedict college was ready for the run loss of one on the play third down and 11. parker waiting now he has some room down to the 25 he keeps the football and he's going to what do you call that what do you call that when you jump off to the side a car he cartwheels out of bounds i like it we're going to call it a car call it a cartwheel as we get a look at our replay and you take a look at what parker's able to do there and just alludes what could have been a tackle in the backfield and a tackle for loss he he eludes the defense and is able to at least make something out of that play seven yards on the play fourth down four miles they are seven of eight coming into this game on fourth down efficiency let's see if they can capitalize on this fourth and fourth down play at the benedict 23. they'll option off to the right they're giving it to davis tries to step on one man he's not going to get it he's not going to get it number 20 coming up from his defensive back position elajoe smith out of weight cross georgia wow and you look at the secondary for benedict college and those guys don't mind tackling you see that they come up looks like almost a face mask there by number 20 but gets away with a little face mask and was able to stuff them and get this ball turned over on well well well benedict takes over after the fourth down stop fourth first down now for benedict and they're all white going from right to left in motion comes number 81 rashad mccain there's a snap to foster under pressure but he lose one man and and he'll gain the 20 eight yard line two yard pickup second down at eight and you look at that plane you think back to last week's game uh for miles college against albany state and there were some opera some missed opportunities on the field goal but you see right here another smart play by the freshman to just keep the ball and just get a couple yards on that play i got to tell you i'm really impressed early by zay foster's performance showing such uh uh leadership for a freshman guy's getting his first start the option to the right foster keeps the football 40 44 yard line that's where he will step out of bounds but not before gaining 16 yards on the play and zay foster looked there once again he had the opportunity to pass it off but he saw the lane opening up for him and he just takes off to the big yardage big gains on that last play big number 66 dejuan duncan six foot three inch offensive lineman out of milwaukee wisconsin he is down on the field and they are going to see about them and while they do that we're going to take this time out with our score benedict 14 miles no

[Music] welcome back to live action ladies and gentlemen benedict college they have a football first down and 10 at their own 44-yard line they'll hand the football off to the first man through that's bloodsaw number 39. and he's going to be brought down quickly by that miles college defense led by number 57 jalen thomas the graduate out of silica alabama and you see miles there a little bit more aggressive in terms of stopping the run and they get him in the backfield to lose a couple yards actually on that play loss of two it brings up second down and 12 from the 42-yard line foster waiting for the snap he will option now he'll bring her back and for the pass gonna be picked off mistake there back the other way for miles college who is that number 13 trey giles down the 10-yard line so that's the turnover that the miles college defense was looking for but let's hold the telephone horse cellular phone there's a flag down and you look back there and zay foster with the direct snap and he throws but he does not see the defender the defender just cuts off the lane and takes this all the way back but like you said we got to see where that penalty marker is what that penalty parker was thrown for depending on the call here if it sticks it'll be a 44-yard return let's hear from alan murray intercepting team number eight it's a [Music] as we get a look you'll recall that benedict scored their first touchdown on play on a fake handoff and they rifled one to kneel excuse me their second touchdown but on this particular play number 13 trey giles the defensive back out of columbus georgia he jumped that route and returned the football 44 yards but unfortunately there was an infraction on the interception return and as a result miles college will have the football first and ten from their own 46-yard line yeah when you're down 14 to nothing you hate to see those kind of penalties push you back when you're so close to the opportunity to score but let's see what miles is able to do on this possession parker gets no we have a new quarterback new quarterback in the game for miles college as they they grieve him rather rudely on his first play of the game welcome octavius griffin welcome my goodness or let's say jacob milhouse number 16 the quarterback the six-footer out of birmingham alabama correction yes it is milhouse on that play and welcome to this game in the rudest way wow there you go look at that replay as a host of tigers gobble them up there you see geron kilpatrick out of auburndale florida in on that tackle second down 10. stuttering through there is davis and he's going to wrestle his way down to the 46-yard line into tiger territory let's give that tackle and with the new quarterback coming into the game you give the ball to kingston davis and let him move the chains for you that was an eight-yard rush into tiger territory third down and two from the 46-yard line of benedict new quarterback new quarterback jacob milhouse waiting for the snap high snap he'll option he'll keep the football and they're dragging him down is geron kilpatrick the five foot 11 inch red shirt patrick at about junior 49-yard line and that's going to bring up a loss and such a great opportunity there duane with that interception that could have had miles in the low red zone but instead they're now at midfield there's a three and out from benedict's defense and they get the ball right back so we'll have a change of possession here for miles college jackson spratlin five foot nine 190 pound junior out of dora alabama will do the honors from the 49-yard line number 25 back deep that's tavin greiss waiting the party a little trickery and that trickery will yield a first down however there is a flag down there is a flag down it's laid at the 48-yard line as we get a look at that tradicary watch this spraglin has it and then he throws the football to number 17. that's jay andrews and then jay andrews dies for what appeared to be a first down for miles college but will have to find out the call on the field five yard pass play field number 40 it's a five yard penalty from the previous spot replay fourth down they're going to repeat the play and also we had an injured benedict college player who they just helped off the field it looked like number 48 il jeter will check on that number for you and i doubt we see that trickery again but this at least gives miles the opportunity and spradling the opportunity to potentially have more space to pin benedict deep in their own territory all right so spratlin will attempt again this time from the 46-yard line [Music] and it's going to be down at the 7 yard line so that's a 47 yard punt that's where the benedict college tigers will take over the football not only have they taken over football they've taken a commanding 14-point lead with 5 30 to play in the half all eyes on the western division as the champion will earn the chance to host the annual siac football championship on november 13th fans visit www.thesiac.com for official conference and championship gear first down in denver benedict college at their own eight yard line omari and coleman with it he'll get up past the 10 yard line maybe the 12. let's give him four yards on that carry second down and six so ladies and gentlemen do not adjust your set that is the correct score benedict college leading miles 14 nothing to nature is this a bit of a surprise to you it is a little bit of a surprise i expected miles to come out a little crisper and cleaner but zay foster the freshman is the one who's really dominating this game and really dictating this game along with omari and coleman second down and six from the 12 yard line foster rolls out to his left and he will complete the football at the 14 14-yard line to number 85 that's steven campbell the six foot four incher out of fountain hill one-yard pickup second correction third and five now let's see if benedict tries to work this clock here trip wide receivers to the far side of the football field off to foster's right he now looks checks off to the right making sure everybody's lined up [Music] foster waiting patiently here comes the snap foster looking right now looking left under pressure he's going to run with the football 15 20 25 30 35 40 and bumped out of bounds at the 44 yard line well oh well 29-yard rush and there's a flag to boot at the end of that play and for a freshman you just gotta love his eyes and you gotta love his quick thinking so foster sees that all of his receivers are covered downfield so he just takes off a couple missed tackles on that play and he's down the field but we'll see what this penalty is and whether or not this comes back man oh man again i can't say enough about this performance of zay foster the five foot 11 incher out of roebuck south carolina hello roebuck offense oh man and you hate to see that chris williams the wide receiver for benedict with the hold on that play to spring foster so of course that's coming back so they'll mark it at the 35-yard line so net result a 22-yard gain all right so here we go this benedict college offense they have the football first down and 10 at their own 35 dwayne walker tanitra batiste bringing you the call from miles college 3 minutes and 40 seconds remaining in the half 14 nothing our score foster he'll give it to coleman and coleman stays on his feet i thought he was going to go down but he fights his way or at least tries to fight his way back to the line of scrimmage number 46 on the tackle that's andrew gaylor the six foot inch linebacker out of dora alabama and you see coleman right there as foster takes the direct snap and coleman just kind of bounces back off of his alignment but like you said dwayne he was able to keep his feet and at least not lose yards on that play no gain second down and 10 from the 35. twin receivers to the bottom of the formation and now in motion comes number 82 eddie neal and now there's going to be a time out for chenis berry and the benedict college tigers all roads lead to rock hill for the 2021 siac volleyball championship from november 15th through the 18th follow the siec on social media at the siac for full coverage of the tournament also i'm delighted to pass along details of the ubs siac partnership which has been specifically constructed to invest in students attending siac's 15 colleges and universities across six states the initiative will focus on delivering a financial literacy and wellness curriculum to siac students and to introduce students to the opportunities available to them in the financial services industry students will also gain to ubs's recruiting and development programs including ubs's tomorrow's talent program a virtual accelerator aimed at increasing college and career success for diverse college students speaking of diversity that's exactly what the benedict college offense has been displaying this first half of play they lead it by a score of 14 nothing and they have the football second down and 10 from their own 35. it's going to be pitched out to taven up to the 45-50 into miles college territory so again they continue to churn up the offense 17-yard rush by number 25 taven greis the freshman out of lake charles louisiana and david greis getting a critical block on that play from amari and coleman to spring him for the extra yards speaking of coleman he's in the backfield just off to the right of foster benedict college has it first and ten at the miles college 47. taven in motion he will get the sweep sweeping right 45 40 and he's going to be chopped down to size at the 38 yard line but who took the brunt of that as number 38 is still wallowing on the ground and that's number 38 james sawyer the sophomore out of fairfield alabama here in town and he's going to need some medical attention while they take this look this injury break we'll keep it right here and just let everyone know that academy sports is the official sporting goods and outdoor retailer of the siac this partnership was constructed to build meaningful community initiatives with a focus on grassroots programming that includes youth outreach and mentorship programs the new partnership provides academy an opportunity to elevate the hbcu experience and expose juror to a passionate siec fan base that is located in established markets we invite our viewers to stick around for the upcoming halftime show which will feature fantastic performances from benedict band of distinction followed by the miles purple marching machine so we invite you to stick around for that and i'm definitely here for dwayne there's nothing like the pageantry of homecoming at hvcu and of course we see there that um james unfortunately james sawyer is being taken off the field with some help hopefully he'll be okay but and he's limping off and it'll take up a minute to get to the other side and i know coach reginald ruffin has some concern there both of these coaches they do such a tremendous job in the community and i know speaking of which coach ruffin coming up in the summer miles college and the alabama minority coaches association they will be hosting a football camp at miles college during this upcoming summer it gives hbcu players an opportunity to try to make it to that next level two minutes two minutes to play in the first half benedict college with the football second and one foster fakes the hand off the coleman going long he's got a receiver and it's going to be just out of the reach of the intended receiver on the play number nine christopher williams no not that christopher williams and you see there foster with plenty of time to set launches that ball deep but it's just out of the hands of his favorite receiver chris williams christopher williams a six foot four wrencher out of gainesville florida [Music] third down and one from the 38 directly out of miles college and now we've got some confusion and chenis berry is going to call a timeout so benedict uses up their final time out of the hast as you see christopher williams not able to run under that football and you look at that play markel shelton got to save foster right as he was releasing that pass so maybe that pass was thrown that ball was thrown just a hair early which was why they weren't able to connect on that pass and i know tanisha were talking to coaches earlier talk about what the impact they've made on the community janice barry in his first year he has the slogan goat tigers for his benedict tigers faithful you know he actually had a football camp in which they had over 200 kids attend i mean that a prospect came that's tremendous and they're looking to actually up that amount to maybe 250 this upcoming summer in june when they hold it again on the benedict college football campus yeah and this is kind of a hotbed because earlier this year as well there was an hbcu combine where i was able to see some of these players for miles and benedict like you said just to give them the opportunity to present their case for making it to the next level third down and one let's see if the tigers offense can get to another level there's oc omari on coleman and he has enough for another benedict tigers college first down first down they are just controlling all aspects of this game aside from a miscue by zay foster an interception that was returned 44 yards but then taken back a bit by trey giles other than that he's played a pretty flawless football game yeah you look at the fact that benedict is able to use their run to set up the pass not afraid to throw the long ball not afraid to take it on the rpo as well foster with it and he's going to be stacked up and brought down but he gained four yards on the play and let's give him second and seven let's adjust that let's say three yards as we get a look at the replay and this is going to be critical you see here some motion there on the offense but the defense was a little bit prepared for it but zay foster is just that elusive to somehow with that play that could have been a loss in the backfield he was able to get a couple yards on it brought down on that play by number 94 that's ken i mccoy second down seven foster going for it looking for campbell campbell readjust and a jump ball situation as it was intended for number 25 tavin grice but he was covered quite nicely on the play by number five mitchell smiley yeah that was tight coverage by the former linebacker turned strong safety right there almost a little bit of contact that was on the borderline of a pi but a good play nonetheless it forces the third and seven i love the aggressive nature of mitchell smiler the former linebackers you mentioned before he actually leads this club in interceptions with two on the season just 29 seconds to play in the first half third down at seven from the 32-yard line of miles for benedict foster steps up in the pocket has room to run if he decides but he'll launch the football towards the end zone and it's going to be marked incomplete they were trying to negotiate an interference call down there to no doing as number 19 tessian presley the intended receiver yeah no flag on that play and foster steps up in the pocket and releases that ball and you're for miles college you're absolutely getting a little to get away with a little something there by rodney coleman but it's important that they do because you'd rather go into halftime down 17 to nothing versus maybe 21. you got it number 61 rigoberto tanoco will attempt a 49-yard field goal there's a snap there's the hole there's the kick it's on its way but it's going to be blown down and it was actually good as it ricochets off of the goal post delay again offense five yards penny from previous spot remains fourth time might be a little gift to miles college right before halftime maybe so after the penalty they'll move them back and a 49-yard field goal will turn into a 54-yard field goal if they attempt it but will they that's the question make sure you stick around for our halftime performances both bands will get at it the benedict band of distinction followed by the miles purple marching machine so fourth down in 13 and the benedict tigers decide to go for it foster in the pocket now he'll roll out of pocket miles college begging for a holding call foster throws the football wisely out of bounds and there is a flag on the flight we may have an intentional grounding or a hold just an area of go ahead uh tanisha i think about that dwayne is the fact that benedict college even with less than 10 seconds on the clock are able to be aggressive in this case but let's see what the call is on the field holding office number 72 that penalty is declined the ball is and you'll see there the right tackle anthony crowley with the hold but again i like the call because it's aggressive and you really don't have anything to lose with 10 seconds left in the half and you're up 14 to nothing if they had done that a plate earlier than that it would have brought up a fourth down they would have ran 10 seconds off the clock and we would be at halftime right now all right so miles college they have it first out and 10 at their own 40 38 yard line they'll hand the football off to keys number 30 off to the left and he's going to be dragged down and not nicely i might add and the flag comes down as smith brought him down but may have also caused the penalty yeah looks like a horse caller on that play let's see so you see number 30 getting out to the sideline and you see him getting slowed down a little bit there you're right on it to nietzsche now dwane we talk about the aggressiveness of benedict college's offense let's see what miles is going to do with this last play before the first half listen this is the two-time defending siac champion it would not surprise me if they score here that's how potent these guys are they are back to back champions so you can't count them out let's just see how it plays out 2.2 seconds remaining in the half miles college has it first in at benedict's 38 yard line and now miles college will utilize their third and final timeout of this second stanza all right so check this out i know we talked about coach chenisberry and what they're doing over there with benedict college and coach reginald ruffin on the miles college side we'd be reminisced if we didn't talk about october being breast cancer month and sadly coach reginald ruffin lost his wife four years ago after 17 years of marriage to breast cancer and i know it's a very important subject to him yeah absolutely and this community this fairfield community has rallied around him with his young children including gabe ruffin who of course is a part of the miles college team but yeah when we spoke to coach ruffin about that he spoke lovingly of his wife and just such a supporter for breast cancer awareness and for myself as a breast cancer survivor certainly it means a lot to me that he sees the importance of the awareness there especially with the loss that he had four years ago all right this may be the last play and the official has his arm out let's see here we go final play of the quarter two seconds left they're gonna milhouse toss the football it's gonna be picked up by kilpatrick number zero back the other way it comes 20 25 30 35 and he's tripped up at the 40-yard line and that is how the first half is going to end there you see the pick by kilpatrick and he returned that football 27 yards but we're at the half with our score benedict college 14 miles college golden bears no score when we come back we'll have both bands performances from the benedict band of distinction as well as the miles purple marching machine [Music] okay [Music] what you are about to witness is nothing short of breathtaking smooth sensational captivating and breathtaking ladies

before the tigers as well and to the tigers defense they were able to hold miles with just 72 yards rushing and they held it here just 42 yards casting so really it was the game that surprisingly was outdated quick scoring recap benedict got it started in the first quarter zay foster's six yard run quarterback keeper to put benedict college up seven to nothing and then in the following quarter foster to eddie neal on an 11 yard hook up and that's where we stand 14 to nothing as we are moments away from third quarter action still a gorgeous evening for football homecoming weekend here at miles college as you saw the halftime festivities just beautiful both bands were tremendous as well the benedict band of distinction and the miles purple marching machine absolutely that halftime entertainment is just always amazing for me it kind of takes me back i don't know about you duane but it takes me back to my college days when i see the dancers and the band just absolutely put on a show for both schools jackson spratlin tees it up and the second half is underway taken there by tavion at the seven yard line up to the 20 25 30 and he's going to be tackled at the 33-yard line 26 yards on that return by number 25 that's tavin grace and i see dwayne we have a player down on the field on our first play of the second half one of the golden bears is down at about the 25 yard line and i got to tell you tenets entries have been such uh uh an ordeal for both of these clubs i mean for example today freshman orient omari and coleman got the start for benedict because of an injury to their regular guy and then you look on the other side four miles college their main gun was out as well yeah you're absolutely right for benedict college eric phoenix was banged up last week at the quarterback position so they certainly are feeling it and then you look at the fact that uh darius vallant he's back but he was out last week hurt and jaden mcclouds hurt so yeah a lot of on both sides of the ball and for both teams you're seeing a lot of injury at this point in the season the big gunner for miles college that was out at running back dante edwards and there you go look for miles number 87 getting to his feet anderson aldridge the six foot three inch tight end out of rock hills south carolina as the staff may help him off of the field there's a time-out on the field with 14 minutes 54 seconds second half just underway benedict leads it 14-0 [Music] [Music] for all the ways you love to play academy sports and outdoors makes it easier than ever to get what you need and have fun out there get free shipping on your favorite brands at academy.com or get free curbside or in-store pickup at your academy store [Music] benedict benedict college has the football at their own 35-yard line they are moving right to left in the second half benedict college dressed in their white uniforms dark numerals miles college in their home purple with white numerals it's a second down situation second down at the 35-yard line second and seven in motion comes taven they give it to coleman the second man throw and he's going to be tackled at the line of scrimmage [Music] and he was brought down for miles kedaria jones there number 45 then you can look at him on your screen kadarian jones sophomore out of donaldsville louisiana it brings up a third down to six situation for zay foster and this benedict college tigers offense they're taking their sweet time twin receivers to the left and right of the formation coleman off to foster's right there's the snap foster in the pocket he throws looking for taven incomplete just off of his right hand and he was covered on that play by number five mitchell smiley and mitchell smiley making his presence felt on that opening drive of the second half and that's what you want to see from the miles college defense you want to see it three and out and there's a foster with a nice pass but you'll see there may be just a hair overthrown and out of bounds but again that third and out that three and out is critical for that miles defense to get off the field and see if maybe their offense can get a little something going in the second half fourth down funding situation and that's gonna be a very short effort by eubanks not his best effort and depending on where they mark that football looks like they're going to mark it at the 50-yard line so that's a 14-yard punt let's count it up yeah from the 36-yard and unfortunately for him he shanked that one off of his foot and it managed to go only 14 yards and that's one of those where you can see miles special teams putting pressure on him so that he gets that kickoff just a little early then it has a little bit of a mild bouncer let's see what they can do with just half the field to go first down and 10 at midfield now the golden bears moving from left to right as the sun sets off to the west that handoff it went to keys number 30 correction number three that's bill on the lawn on that curry [Music] no wait a minute excuse me i am correction on that is that number three dante edwards in the lineup for miles college that is dante edwards correction on that kerry so the regular starter who we did not see in the first half of play is in the game now for miles college on the quarterback keeper is number 16 that's jacob billhouse who took over for parker he is in the ball game now and on that quarterback keeper he gains 11 yards on that keeper so coach coach reginald ruffin is doing what he feels necessary to get back in this ball game edward's on the carry and he gets down to the 34-yard line so a minimal gain however you've got to think that this offense is going to be uh charged up because of his presence right and dante edwards a little bit more potent on the ground than kingston davis averaging about 5.4 yards of carry and that could be the spark spark that the golden bears need he has over 500 yards or creeping towards the 500 yard mark for the season speaking of which play action they throw to the far side that football is complete to lodge number 80 lodge on that reception and close to a first down will credit critical house with a nine yard pass play it will bring up third down and one and you get a couple of solid runs from edwards and then you're able to let that run set up the pass for you just a little quick throw to the flat and marcus lodge gets out there and helps the golden bear through the chains third down and one free play four miles they'll throw to the end zone milhouse looking for west west goes up west comes down with it for a touchdown a malls college touchdown jay andrews the six-foot freshman receiver from birmingham alabama and up to now dwayne jay andrews has been pretty quiet for the golden bears but on a critical play where they needed to take advantage of excellent field position they were able to do so it's a free play so you're able to get millwood to toss it down and then it's a jump ball and jay andrews wins the ball and sometimes it's just about who wants it more and it looks like on that play it was andrews there is a flag down behind the play as well as an injured player number 50 a little banged up window bing got banged on that play right there and he's down on the turf as edwards picked him up on the block in protecting milhouse the quarterback alan murray will give us his call in just a few moments all right here we go [Music] all right so there you hear it from alan murray letting you know the deal watch dante edwards pick him up right here and to protect the quarterback right there and what a job by andrews to go up and grab that football he just wanted it more as you mentioned he went up for it along with number four fern romero and uh andrews won that battle as bradley comes in to kick the extra pointed tip and the two-time defending miles college golden bears they're on the scoreboard with 11 minutes and three seconds to play benedict college leads it 14-7 but the golden bears have the momentum [Music] [Music] and welcome back everybody with our score miles college getting on the scoreboard posting us seven points benedict leads at 14-7 after that 26-yard touchdown reception milhouse to jay andrews there's an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty assessed against miles college which backs them up 15 yards so spratlin will kick off from the 20. and it's going to be kicked out of bounds and benedict should have the football the 45-yard line if i'm not mistaken to start their drive let's see will they mark it because the football was kicked out of bounds and now we've got a flag on the play alan murray will give us his call with the white cap and if i'm not mistaken also bombs kicking team 15 five yard penalty excuse me the ball be placed on the 50-yard line first down okay the 50 excuse me and that's one of those costly penalties dwayne that goes back to the last play the last drive where you're literally pushed back in terms of where you're starting to kick the ball off and now you've got a five yard penalty on the kickoff so you're giving benedict that much shorter feel to work with as you were just now gaining the momentum all right so they've been moved back now benedict college let's see if they can take advantage of this opportunity first down in 10 at midfield working right to left foster's your quarterback in motion is phil young the option right phil on with the carry no gain he's going to be swarmed under by that miles college defense led by number 14 cameron snead on that tackle the redshirt junior out of macon georgia you look at that play and you're really seeing the golden bear start to figure out slowly but surely this benedict offense especially on the ground game so let's see where they go on this second down 88 yards rushing in that first half of play for zay foster the quarterback he's wearing number 14. foster fake handoff he'll throw to the near side of the field it's going to be complete and into miles college territory is eddie neal number 82 who caught the first touchdown in the second quarter for benedict to put them up nothing and that's one where he's just able to keep his feet which is good because with neal keeping his feet that actually allows that to be third and manageable for the tigers third down and six from the miles 46 yard line benedict has been potent in miles college territory two for two in the red zone tonight foster under duress now he spins out looks a little like fran tarkin to there throws across field and it's complete to number 19 taishan presley so presley comes down with the reception but there is a penalty on the play personal foul roughing the passer defense number 49 15-yard penalty from the previous fight automatic first down and that's a tough one because zay foster spins out of a would-be tackle gets the ball to his receiver and they're able to already convert that penalty will be added and that of course is added to the end of the reception and that was quite a blow from cadarius roberts so you're literally giving benedict the opportunity to now they're already in field goal range foster to presley and foster was temporarily all shook up first down and 10 for benedict at the miles college 23 yard line [Music] there's the motion there's a snap they'll throw backside it is complete and immediately brought down on the play is jalen taylor number 28. how about andrew gaylor from his linebacking position the sophomore out of dora alabama coming up with that stop yeah and even though foster throws to his check down receiver that's one of those where you got to get rid of it quickly so you appreciate the fact that foster's able to think quickly on that when he sees the pressure coming dumps it off to his receiver and he's able to at least salvage something on that play loss of two second down and 12. football resting at the 25-yard line triple motion to the right side of the set taylor foster excuse me now to taylor taylor's sweeping right down to the 20 15 yard line and there's a quick hitter for 10 yards and close to a first down and you see just the quick toss there the o-line tight ends everybody pulling right but giving just enough of a window to like you said get a third down and very manageable for the tigers mitchell spiley number five made that tackle from his safety position eight minutes remaining in the third quarter eight minutes and some change dwayne walker tanitra batiste we're here at miles college and we have some movement on the offense and this should move him back five [Music] yards number 82 five-yard penalty remains down [Music] neal was bent over and unfortunately for him moved and those are the type of errors you want to avoid and now it will be third and eight from the 21. motion again by number 81 rashad mclean and eddie neal foster throws to a wide open coleman coleman out of the 10 he spins down to the seven yard line before being brought down on that play number eight on that tackle darius brown and that's a great bailout play and a great call from the tigers just in terms of being able to move the chain again eric highsmith not afraid to take advantage of what his quarterback is able to do and what the miles college defense is able to give them 21-yard pass play gives sumrall credit on that tackle as well but first and goal from the seven yard line for benedict there's some motion action foster on the quarterback keeper foster donald five four three two one touchdown touchdown save foster if it stands there's a penalty on that play well let's hold the phone again and see what the call is so watch here they fake option right foster elects to keep the football let's see if we uh depending on who that flag might be a hold yeah and you could see the holding action you see where that flag comes from came from from the back judge when the back judge flo throws the flag you're almost automatic to get a hold watch the back judge back there watch him go reach to his pocket watch he's frozen right there watch him grabbing on that pocket right there that's what he's got and brian mcneil costing benedict a touchdown on that play so we'll hold the phone move it back and it's first and goal from the 17-yard line after the 10-yard penalty in motion comes mckay foster will hand it off to number 28. that's jalen taylor the freshman out of carver ranches florida gaylor on that stop for the miles college golden bears second and goal from the 15 now two yard pickup and this is where the golden bears are starting to get some penetration and almost actually got that tackle in the backfield so let's see what happens here on third down check that second down and goal rather foster being chased ooh what a move is he alludes one man now he throws across his body i don't see a receiver there is he outside the tackle yeah it falls innocently incomplete the officials are gathered around let's see if they slide a flag out of their pocket let's see there's no file for attention or grounding the quarterback was outside the pocket you can see just got that ball off just outside of the pocket to avoid getting that penalty and loss of down third down and goal here third and goal from the 14 yard line omari omario coleman is in the backfield just to the right of the quarterback number 14 zay foster getting his first career start this afternoon waiting for the snap he has it straight back he fires towards the end zone the football is just too high and it's going to bring down a fourth down situation intended for number 25 taven greis but just out of his reach and what you like about that in in that man coverage you see foster try to throw it on the back shoulder of his receiver but just a little bit too far but also you see that miles defense being able to affect foster to get that ball off just a hair too soon tanoko in for benedict attempting a 31-yard field goal the snap the hold the kick is on its way and the kick is through the uprise [Music] so there it is 31-yard field goal by tanoko and with five minutes and 38 seconds to play the benedict tigers with a surprising the newest members of our league these two teams will battle it out at the end of the season while the siac championship game between east and west who will be serving as this year's host and you can catch both of those games on saturday november 13th live on espn plus and espn3 respectfully be sure to check your espn capably amazing out here just as the sun goes down just a beautiful scene here and also a beautiful thing on that last drive for the golden bears because they were able to hold benedict to a field goal a 31-yard field goal by tanoko to put benedict up 17-7 sunoco will kick off and there it is it's going to be taken at the nine yard line that's robinson up to the 30 35 40 and up to the 42 yard line and now there's a little bit of a strum tackle as number 11 on that return that's la anthony robinson and that's a name we hope to hear more of we haven't he's been a little bit quiet this afternoon he was out for a couple of games due to injury back four miles so hopefully he'll be able to give them a boost as well yes and robinson on that return a 35-yard return donning some pink in his uniform as we celebrate breast cancer awareness month yeah it's an absolutely beautiful thing to see and you see a lot of peak here in and around uh sloan alumni stadium here in fairfield alabama so just good to support breast cancer awareness and let's kick cancer's butt you got it first down and 10 and that football is going to be interception number 20 that's smith back of the football and smith with the pick a pick smith if you will so milhouse throws that int and it's going to be a turnover [Music] and dwayne that's a mistake that the golden bears could ill afford again the defense held the tigers to a field goal on that last possession this is a great opportunity for miles midfield and yet number 20 right there midfield waiting read the quarterback's eyes the entire way millwood throws the interception and now it's right back to benedict at midfield although aloha smith his first interception of the season he's out of weight cross georgia it gives benedict college a first out at 10 at the miles college 49-yard line there's the snap to foster he'll give it to coleman and coleman will borrow his way down to the 48-yard line small gain on the play maybe two second and eight [Music] benedict college they look over to that sideline and you got to give benedict college credit that offensive unit they're getting the job done this evening this early evening rolling out foster throwing towards the 11 yard line and that is going to be a drop number nine christopher williams could not come up with a football and boy oh boy zay foster rolls out and he sees his guy all the way streaking down the sideline and that's one of those where dwayne if chris williams iii was able to haul that in boy it was a perfect football i mean it was it was very nicely placed and it was just it was just a drop point blank yeah it's where you want it right on the back shoulder of your receiver and just off the fingertips of chris williams he's got to come up with that football nonetheless it brings up a third down situation third down and eight from the 47-yard line of miles waiting for the snap is foster he's got it in his grasps he's looking and he's going to be sacked sacked on that play by number 36 for miles that's marquel shelton and on the season that's his third quarterback sack to go along with two tackles for loss and this is exactly what you needed to see from miles college you needed to see the golden bears confuse and stuff save foster and potentially get that ball right back so at least on that turnover from the previous possession no harm no foul and right back into miles hands and hopefully their offense will be able to do something with the ball hr loss and then you've got to look at a smiling face and here comes the pot let's see what they're gonna mark it at the 29 yard line 28 yard line that's just a 26 yard punt 26 yards and that's where miles will take that football over looking to get some momentum here denitra yeah and another favorable bounce for miles so that's some decent field position for them hopefully they've shaken off what happened on that last possession with that interception and millwood's able to drive this miles offense down the field all right so here we go let me see if i'm getting a number is that 16 or 18. from our vantage point wanna double check it looks like an eight so maybe that's octagonal in the game quarterback see my mind my eyes do not beseech me on that carry number 20 kingston davis [Music] davis rushes the football up to the 31 yard line 31 on a three-yard carry three-yard pickup second down and seven to nature i'm proud of myself on that one being able to see that far oh i am loving i am loving that you were able to see that i'm admiring that from a distance good eyes good second down at seven four miles college moving left to right griffin oh it's tipped it's up in the air and wisely i think smackdown by marcus lodge number 80. i think he had the presence of mind of at least knocking that football down so no one could catch it and that's what you want to see from lodge you want to see that kind of heads up play because again you've now got octavius griffin in the game and he gets the direct snap and he's tossing it and right there is a tip ball and just off the hands of benjamin college but it's really about lodge batting that ball down at the right moment smart triple wide receiver set to the near side of the football field third down and seven griffin being chased off to the right he'll throw the football down the field incomplete pass and it'll bring up a fourth down situation he tried to connect with number 87 on that route orlando doss the sophomore automobile alabama and on that direct snap griffin really with a nice roll out there but boy the tiger defense on the pursuit and then he just has to toss it and kind of throw it away what i am loving about this for miles college is that their head coach reginald ruffin he's going to do whatever it takes we've seen three quarterbacks so far in this contest for miles college and we've also seen moves at running back as well changes at the running back all right back deep taving grace now we have a penalty offense five yard quality remains fourth time so they're going to move them back [Music] and that could be a costly penalty because really we've not seen from the punters on both sides of both teams long punts and really lengthening the field for their offenses so we'll see if that affects has any effect for miles college all right it's bravlin doing the punting it's going to take a bouncing miles college bounce [Music] that's going to be a 40 that's going to be a 50 yard pump right there and actually that was jay fitch on that punch so he really got a lot of good hang time and got a nice bounce for the golden bear so kind of benedict back a little bit they're going to have to go a little further not quite the length of the field but nice job by fitch had an opportunity to talk to the young man before today's game and had some uh a real cool conversation that i'll share a little bit later in the broadcast from their own 24. and now we hear a whistle and let's see what allen murray has offense number 85 five yard penalty remains first down i've got to say while the sun has gone down and you see the the backdrop and the stadium this is one of the most beautiful scenes i've seen on an hbcu campus as far as a football contest is concerned this is incredible yeah this is an absolutely beautiful campus my first time having the opportunity to be on miles campus and it's been amazing all right here we go on that first down to 15 carry that's number 39 on that gary daiquan bloodsaw the running back out of sanderville 5 foot 10 inches smiley came up from his safety position to make that tackle and to run him down along the sideline [Music] but he was able to at least elude the defender on the first level and still get some yards on that first down get some of those yards that they lost a penalty second down fourth coming second and five from the 30. double tight in motion to the right side of the formation foster waiting for the snap he'll get it blood saw again saw down see blood saw down bloodstock let's credit number nine with that tackle who are they giving they're gonna say jones i got nick floyd on that tackle number nine right there and the motion from the tight ends gave the running back a little room to work with but again golden bear is ready for that getting the tackle to force a bit of a third and long belt third and maybe a long one or a short one depending how you look at right they're gonna give the football to coleman coleman's got the first down as he alludes one man gets across 35 and stumbles and bumbles his way to the 39 however there's a flag down at the 32-yard line and depending on who threw it that'll give you a good indication of what the call is might have been a hole by the tight end number 81 holding off [Music] that's two in the same quarter yeah and that's one of those situations where like you said depending on how you look at it could be a third short one third long one now it's a true third right i meant two for me because i said it was number 81 that made the penalty come on tanitra you gotta keep up with me you know what broke you know broken clocks right twice a day so i gotta get credit for that right now shout out to dwayne on that with everybody third down at 11 for benedict college let's see what they can do here foster looks to the sideline to get the play from their offensive coordinator mccander dia donna free snap penalty yeah it's killing them [Music] you know and coach janice barry talks about his club being disciplined not showing discipline there because they've had a couple of self-inflicted penalties that that's hurting your program yeah and that's one of those where we're now in a third and feels like forever and if they don't convert on this you give this ball back to miles college and they could potentially score we're under a minute to play and there's a quarterback sack right there there's that guy again number nine nick floyd 190 pound senior out of phoenix big play by that defense a quarterback sack and that was one of those where you see just the all-out blitz from the golden bears and he makes them pay big time for floyd that's his first sack on the season as we get a look he had a direct angle there at the quarterback and brought him down [Music] so it almost looks like this game is slowing down a little bit for miles college eubanks kicks it to the 50-yard line 40 yards on that punt by robinson they'll call it a 39-yard punt as robinson fair caught it there and that's where the miles college golden bears will take over on offense let's see who the quarterback will be on this exchange let's see is that a 18 or 19. i see it oh 16. now they're going back to milhouse so they're going from griffin back to number 16 jacob milhouse yeah it's interesting to see how the back and the fourth this is some kind of chess match between barry and griffin on that first down carry a guy who we didn't expect to see that's dante edwards and he pulls his way down to the 40-yard line that's a nine-yard rush for dante edwards [Music] edwards on the season has now passed the 500-yard mark on the season there's a timeout on the field let's take a timeout too because it's the end of three quarters of play with our score benedict college 17 miles college no score we'll be back [Music] and welcome back to the atkins second down and one the handoff to edwards down to the 35-30 25-20 15. there is a flag down on that play but edwards had a chance to get off there he got more than first down yardage it'll depend on the call here but preliminarily a 29-yard rushing play and you see miles walking back as if they know that that penalty is on them and you hate to see that because miles defense quietly has been dominating in the second half the third quarter benedict with one run holding office number eight centennial penalty from the spot of the foul after the enforcement it's first down and wayne that's exactly what i was saying you hate to see that because the miles defenses held benedict to 35 yards four yards and minus 14 on that last drive so they're giving their offense every opportunity golden bear has got to take advantage of this possession all right so miles will have a first down after all but man they lose some yardage after that tough carry by edwards first down and goal at the benedict 34-yard line quarterback keeper milhouse he runs out of bounds at the 27 yard line so that's a sizable gain that's a gate of eight yards [Music] call it seven we'll we'll make it second and three 28 yard line is where they will set the football mill house number 16 he didn't get the start they went with parker then went to mill house then to griffin now back to milhouse and to throw a little miles college surprise in there dante edwards is playing here in the second half edwards is at the 35-yard line directly behind milhouse he'll get the football up and cut 20. plows over a man that's romero and it's going to be a miles college first down yeah and you'll see on that play that once again miles college understated o-line gives him all of the room that he needs to run and romero nearly broke that big for a touchdown 15-yard carry first down and 10. waiting for it as milhouse they give it to edwards stutter steps now through the gap five four and he's brought down at about the two yard line a touchdown saving tackle by number 94 john hannibal well wait a minute there's a flag down could have been that that thingamajig you called before to nietzsche maybe the grabbing up by the showbomb pads yeah i'm thinking so let's wait on the call from alan murray and his officiating crew here we go as if miles needed any with them already being deep in red zone territory so now it's just a matter of a couple yards so miles college they're threatening in the red zone 80 percent this year first and goal they give it to edwards and he's going to step into the end zone for a miles college touchdown [Music] one yard carry [Music] as you get a look number three dante edwards and jacob milhouse you really got to give him a lot of credit as well for being able to really manage this particular possession and get miles right back in it now if the extra point attempt is good it's a three-point game kick is up by jackson spradlin and the kick is good and with a little over 13 minutes to play miles they have an answer with 1302 to play in the fourth quarter after the one-yard carry by edwards his third touchdown of the year there's your score and then there was light perhaps at the end of the tunnel for miles who scored 14 points in the second half they've i've scored benedict college 14-3 in the second half of play jackson's brother look at him he's all pumped up the kicker had an opportunity to speak to him before the game had a chance to talk to him his brother the long snapper eddie and their punter jay fitch as that football is kicked into the end zone that touchback will give benedict college the football first down and ten at their own 25-yard line but i was talking about how i was talking to those those young men uh the spratlin brothers as well as fitch the punter and eddie the long snapper and they are actually considered against the minority at an hbcu school eddie of mexican descent the spratlin brothers caucasian men young men and they talked about their various experiences and how it's been all positive here attending an hbcu and i what a tremendous opportunity it was to share stories back and forth with them yeah and you can see the appreciation for the hbcu college experience as well and just being able to immerse them in a different culture and to understand a different culture no question about it at first down kerry coleman is tackled right there and on that stop number 45. [Music] that was kedarian jones on the donaldsonville right and this is one of those situations where coach watson the defensive coordinator talks about it being a ben don't break type of defense but this is looking to me like just a don't break defense and the fact that they are working this base 4-2-5 defense to perfection the golden bears are can never count out a champion miles cowles trailed this game 14 to nothing heading into the halftime and since then they scored two touchdowns second down and 12 for benedict college moving from left to right foster in the shotgun he'll hand it to o.c coleman coleman's going to be dragged down by mitchell after a short game mitchell smalley tackling him from behind there you go to look at him the grad student and what you're seeing is smiley who's playing at strong safety today is you're seeing that linebacker instinct really help him to be able to help the golden bears with their rush defense so now a critical third down an opportunity for those golden bears once again to have the tigers go three and out as i mentioned before mitchell smiley leads this club with interceptions with two and in his final year of eligibility and and certainly enjoying it and making a difference here he is on the rush let's see if he can get back at the quarterback mitchell giving a chase mitchell oh had him but lost him foster eludes the rush and throws across his body complete down to the 49-yard line it looks like number 19 tayshawn presley what a good luck charm he has been and you see on that play that smiley almost gets home for foster but somehow just a step ahead just enough to evade smiley he runs across the field throws a little bit across his body and gets his guy right there on the inside for a huge play to midfield 24-yard pass play first down and 10 at the 49-yard line for benedict college up the gut is o.c o.c gets to the 45-yard line as we get a quick replay of that completion to presley brown and gaylor on the tackle for the golden bears and while we were away a six yard carry there by omarion coleman and now he'll be substituted for by number 25 tavion grace check that coleman still in the game as he puts his towel behind himself and that's one of the longer runs from amarion coleman this half [Music] twin receivers top of the formation now grice in motion they'll give it to oc better ramming through the line and a two yard gain this offense will have about three yards to go for a first down they need to get to the miles college 41-yard line right when you talk about him being a bit of a battering ram there that's the kind of play that will continue to wear down that golden bear's defense as benedict is clinging to that three-point lead in this final quarter dwayne walker tanitra batiste 10 minutes and eight seconds to play in the fourth quarter and counting benedict college trying to get on that scoreboard again foster looks has a notion to run and he's going to be tackled he's going to be tackled on that play so heads up by number 27 that's jamarius brown the linebacker the freshman automobile alabama and brown just sniffed that one out and just comes almost unabated and is able to take down foster on that play and really possibly save well actually in that drive-by show down provided there's no track deep number 11 four miles cough corner and the ball is going to take a roll out at the seven yard line so it will be the 9 10 yard line it's going to be a 37-yard punt 37 yards on the punt and that's where the golden bears will get another opportunity nice job by eubanks angling for that corner and gets it and not only angles for the corner but you'll see dwayne the ball takes a nice little bounce a couple yards and pins miles back just a little bit more so that they are starting pretty deep in their own territory first down and 10 from the 10-yard line for this golden bear's offense they have been methodically moving the football on offense and playing stern defense as well milhouse the quarterback number 16 waiting for the snap he'll get it he'll give it and that football is carried by number 20. that's kingston davis [Music] who ran for 17 yards in that first half and that's the kind of play we've seen the golden bears call on first and maybe even second down kind of letting that run set up the pass and kind of getting them out of the shadow of their own end zone so i'll be interested to see what this play call is on second down for the golden bears correction 77 yards in that first half for kingston davis before exiting the building and speaking of which that's davis again and he's slow to get up i got to tell you miles college they've been decimated with injuries and that's not an excuse at all they still find a way to battle back and they still have guys that are that are playing to be honest nicked up yeah and it's the heart of a champion i mean this is a team that last week did not have a good game against albany state and they really want to bounce back and do something here on their home field for homecoming dante edwards he's the lone set back behind milhouse twin ride receivers to the near side of the football field as they pause to get a look at the sideline for the play bill house waiting now hand no he'll keep the football mill house gets away from a defender and crawls his way up to the 17-yard line correction let's see where they mark that i said the 17 that's the 22 yard line and that's good enough for a first down for miles college and miles college able to do that on the ground for the first couple of plays on this possession just to give them a little bit of breathing room that'll be interesting to see if they go back to an aerial attack first and ten now 22 yard line [Music] looking near side he throws the football looking for lodge and the lodge ain't open sails into the miles college bench and they do decide to air it out on that first down like you said just a little bit far and wide kind of sails out and lodge isn't able to get there joshua howard number five you get a look at him did a nice job of shadowing his man forcing him out of bounds and maybe a little bit of tangling up there right at the end of that play the officials have been consistent tonight on this second down run second down and 10. kingston davis up to the 30 35 cuts back 40 44 yard line so kingston davis some nifty moves there and this is the kind of play you want to see from davis and you want to see from miles college as they continue to keep it on the ground and just kind of grind it out they're watching the clock as well because they know they're getting close to field goal position 25 yard run play first down and 10 from the 42. [Music] and pushing the powell ahead [Music] was number 20 davis davis over the 100 yard rushing mark so far tonight kingston davis and that's amazing and a lot of that has to do with what he was able to do in the second half of the game just kind of grinding that out and slowly but surely wearing out that benedict defense second down seven from the 46-yard line four miles milhouse waiting single receiver set to either side dante deante on that carry and he loses his balance before stumbling ahead to near midfield it's going to be about three yards shy of a first down but it's still manageable they'll call it the 49-yard line third down and three and more importantly you're starting to see those tiger defensive players really hands on hips hands on knees kind of wearing down in these waning minutes of this game five minutes 28 seconds to play in regulation dwayne walker to nietzsche batiste bringing you the action hope you're enjoying it third down and three milhouse waiting handing edwards and he with that extra effort i believe he has the first down what an effort by number three dante edwards a six foot 225 pound red shirt from mobile alabama and you'd love to see him just churning those legs because he knows exactly where that marker is he knows where he needs to get to continue this drive for the golden bears and that should be a first stop yes it is a first down mile extraordinary effort there by edwards to get that first down and that is probably why offensive coordinator cedric pearl inserted edwards back into this lineup for the second half definitely has given the offense some spark first down and 10 at the benedict 48.9 milhouse rolls out to the right looking for tinge just a bit outside boy milhouse took a hit on that play so did edwards as edwards flexes his right knee as he gingerly walks back to the huddle and he's taking a look at that left knee watch tinch [Music] along the right sideline try to get open and just out of tench's reach second down to 10 from the 48 twin receivers this time to the near side of the football field milhouse ball fakes now he throws deep looking for a man and he's got a touchdown miles college christopher downtown brown with the touchdown oh my 48 yard strike and you see there the beautiful fake perfectly timed by milhouse and you see him go with all he has to get that ball into brown's hands and brown right there in perfect position to take that ball in and give miles their first lead of the game and the first touchdown pass for mr millhouse in the season spradling in for the extra point attempt the place the kick the hold is up and the kick is good and for the very first time tonight the two-time defending champion miles college golden bears they take the lead for the very first time they're up by four in the fourth quarter with 4 30 to play [Music] welcome back everyone dwayne walker to nietzsche batiste the miles college golden bears they've struck back with three touchdowns in the second half to take their first lead of the game 21-17 denitro and i tell you hashtag mchc 2021 is officially lit this place is going bonkers as octavius griffin on that 48-yard touchdown pass to chris brown to give miles their first lead of the game bloodsaw wisely lets the football roll into the end zone for a touchback and benedict college will have the first down at their own 25-yard line and such a balanced attack on that particular drive tim plays 90 yards miles took four and a half minutes off the clock at the critical juncture in this fourth quarter so we'll look to see we've been talking about this dewayne how dominating this golden bear's defense has been in the second half let's see if they can hold just one more time to give these golden bears the win for homecoming benedict college they started out with a 14-0 lead at half but in the second half miles college with three straight touchdowns mill house to jay andrews for 26 yards dante edwards for a one-yard rush in the fourth and now a mill house to chris brown 48-yard strike and that's where we stand 21-17 benedict college with the football oc omarion coleman takes the handoff but he's going to find little yardage as number 49 on the tackle that's kedarius roberts [Music] and we've seen that over and over in the second half where the tigers are trying to get their ground game going but finally finally the golden bears have had an answer for that ground game every single time in the second half second down and nine foster waiting in the pocket now they'll throw the screen pass complete the coleman coleman 25 30 35 40 45 48 yard line so just like that give them credit they respond with a 23 yard screen that gets up to the 48-yard line and you're right we got to give benedict college the credit for being committed to the ground game and understanding that although it hadn't worked sometimes you got to just keep grinding until you can get what you got off of that particular play now you're at midfield and you have the opportunity to potentially take this game back and get your first siac win of the season andrew gaylor on that tackle there's an injured player on the field and while they tend to him we will take this time out with our score miles 21 benedict 17 we'll be right back welcome back to live action three minutes and 36 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter miles college they have the lead and the football they are at correction near benedict has the football with their own 48 yard line moving left to right i see them all the time after that change of possession and a tough one on that last play as well with damaris brown going down of course he at the same position for the golden bears and not just to have sack this game but also just bringing a lot of pressure on that qb so let's see what what the golden bears will do to have an answer for what benedict is doing on this drive i said miles college football because they they've just owned this second half so far true only right max foster back to pass he's going to go through the downs looking for a man intended for phil young and that football is incomplete number 27 on the of 26 on the defense there that's wilson on the coverage and dave foster getting all the time in the world to toss that ball but he lets it air out and it's just a little too long for his receiver so it'll be interesting to see what happens on this critical down for benedict second down and 10 from the 48th eyeline foster with it he looks he throws it's complete the fill yard down to the 42-yard line and that's close to a first down depending on the mark and this time phillian is foster's checkdown but a nice little toss there that gets the tigers to move the chains 11-yard pass play tigers once again in miles college territory zay foster for all intents and purposes has played a solid game today other than a costly interception i've been quite impressed for a first time starter here yeah absolutely foster has made like you said other than that mental error he's really played a great game for the tigers foster in the pocket has running room down to the 35-30 25-20 right on cue 21-yard scamper by the freshman is there a flag down there is not let's keep her moving and foster once again just pulls that ball down and just runs for daylight and he just knows you got to do what you got to do to get your team in position to possibly win this game grossly he is over the 100 yard mark rushing 77 yards in the first correction 88 yards in the first half rushing and on 10 carries in that first half so his team has the football now first down and 10 at miles's 22-yard line he'll clap his hand three times trip five receivers to the top of the formation foster with the football there's a flag down and so is foster he'll go down but there's a penalty on the play let's hold the phone is number 54. that's jalen mcwhite brought the quarterback down and we're watching the penalty duane we're also watching the clock here and you look back on that play and you see that zay foster's trying to decide who he's going to toss to and then he just loses the football but is able to recover it you need a substitution defense five yard penalty from the previous spot so it'll be first down and five after the five yard penalty and that's the kind of thing that curtis watson can't be pleased with because you really can't afford to have those types of miscues when you're in the high park really in any part of the red zone but definitely when you're in the high red zone with time winding down and we talked about the red zone benedict college two for two in the red zone today 14 of 20 coming into the season on scoring touchdowns here they have it phil young on the sweep to the left phil young down to maybe the 15-yard line depending on the bar and it'll bring up second down and three here we get a look at that replay lead blocker oc omarion coleman you see excellent pursuit on the part of the golden bears defense to make sure and he wasn't that to get too much on that play andrew gayler number 46 chasing him down from behind and if you're benedict you're trying to really work with this clock as well you want to score a touchdown but at the same time not leave any time on the clock foster under hot pursuit rolling to his left what a wise decision there as he throws the football out of bounds to live for another day [Music] and that is one of those situations where you hope that you have an opportunity to toss the ball but and you don't want to stop the clock but that was a smart decision on foster's part to just toss it out of bounds and at least have an opportunity for another play on third down [Music] and there was no penalty on the play which means it's simply third down and three from the 15 yard line really two down territory even though it's third and three you know they'll use two downs to try to get the first here we go in motion is billion to the near side foster back to pass looking looking for phil young it's complete there's presley down to the five yard line first down benedict college tigers and that was absolutely clutch from xavier foster just waiting for that play to develop until his receiver was open so you see there he's getting good protection from his o-line he's able to just toss that ball right where taishan presley was able to catch it and now it'll be interesting to see if the tigers are able to melt the clock but also understanding that they've got to get that ball and punch that ball into the end zone number 19 taeshan presley has been a good luck charm for zay foster tonight wow there you can look at the golden bears huddle head coach reggie ruffin and miles college they are talking about it and while they're talking about it we'll take this time out the last one minute and some change coming up miles leading by four welcome back ladies and gentlemen miles college homecoming dwayne walker to nietzsche batiste it is first down and goal for benedict college at the five yard line they trail by a score of 21 to 17 and alan murray wants to do something with the clock here miles college has called a timeout while we have this opportunity the espn siac deal media rights deal in division two beginning this year espn will feature at least 22 football games across espnu and espn plus including the siec football championship in addition espn will have the exclusive rights to all men's and women's basketball championship preliminary rounds on espn plus and the siac men's and women's basketball championship games on espn networks this partnership will feature siac contests on espn through 2017. also while i have this moment the race to rock hill has returned for the 2021 siac cross country championship the siac cross country championship will take place in rock hill south carolina on october 22nd fans follow the siac on facebook instagram and twitter at the siac for all access coverage so as we get back to the action tanitra first and goal from the five a minute 20 seconds to play what are you looking for here well i'm it's interesting to see because i want to see what the golden bears are able to do the fact that benedict has to go for a touchdown is because of what this golden bear's defense has been able to do so far foster waiting for the snap in motion is presley foster quarterback keeper up the middle and he's going to be dragged down by smiley at the three yard line but tick tick tick tick tick a minute and 10 seconds to play but actually not a bad call on first and goal because you do need to wear that clock down and to be able to get a couple of yards on that play as well that's in benedict college's favor second down now we're under a minute to play 54-53-52 foster waiting for the snap in motion comes presley little stutter step coleman with it sweeping to the left coleman trying to find the end zone and he stopped short at about the one-yard line however 37-36-35 and now we have an injured player down from miles college which will stop the clock on this third and goal situation yeah and you hate to see that and you hope that players okay but certainly that was one of those where coleman was looking to bounce to the outside that lane wasn't there for him so he cuts back and he's still able to get a couple yards there but now getting to the final two dra final two plays to see if miles college or benedict rather is able to punch this end but dwayne i want to go back to the third quarter as well and that's really where miles college made this a game because they were able to hold benedict to a field goal and that might be the difference of the game and we have an injured ball player on the field for miles college will try to pick up a number here in just a second but while i had this moment you know earlier we mentioned about being breast cancer awareness month and we talked about coach reginald ruffin's wife sadly passing away and there has been you know tremendous i don't know if you want to call it pressure but it's been taxing especially on his son who plays on this miles college football team gabriel ruffin and and just sadly just last week today actually his best friend sadly passed away so we'd like to extend our condolences to the michael gibbs family who lost their son and who is also [Music] gabriel ruffin's best friend so so really condolences to both of these families yes and our thoughts and our prayers or are with both of those families as well and sometimes these players get out and they play with a heavy heart but oftentimes this is where they're able to take all of that out and put it on the field and just kind of let it go well i can tell you from our vantage point no one is sitting down everyone is on their feet in anticipation of this play and everybody's anticipating a run on this play but who's actually going to run this in is going to be interesting is it going to be oc is it zay foster and is curtis terry's d ready for this coleman the single setback behind foster in motion comes campbell here's the snap they give it to oc in the middle and he's going to be stopped it's fourth down fourth and goal the clock is running 27-26 and let's see if there's a timeout on the field there is a timeout on the field and this is one of those slowly developing plays for benedict which gave miles the opportunity to kind of set their feet and shut him down just shy of the goal line so chance barry and the benedict tigers they call timeout as we get a look at the replay there is no runoff in this situation because we have both teams have injured players on the field so in effect there will be 25 seconds left in regulation on a huge fourth down situation and when you see those players down on this final play of the game literally it tells you just how much of a battle that this has been oh yeah between miles and benedict this entire game and again we'll see that last play on the third and goal you'll see that it's really a battle in the trenches of whose line is going to make the play and really you got to give a lot of credit to miles college's d-line for stopping o.c just short of the goal line for this benedict college offensive line man they've got brian mcneil a ron witherspoon dejuan duncan zach spain anthony crawley this is for all the money literally right here and you know brian mcneil wishes that he was on the field for this play but yes as he glimpsed off of the field everyone is jumping around on a huge fourth down play both teams have two and three records coming in and now the line judge is going to spread out as miles college is going to call timeout so we will keep it right here man oh man it's homecoming here at miles college and speaking of which academy has everything you need to celebrate visit your local academy store today or shop online at academy.com to get all the top tailgate gear for the yard like coolers drinkware canopies and grills so don't wait pick up everything you need to celebrate at academy sports and outdoors and i know to nietzsche i had an opportunity to go out there and mix and mingle with some of the miles college faithful we caught up with buckville village baseball organization and augustus james and those folks out there they're a tailgate and i must i must tell you they invited us to come out after tonight's game and i know tanisha you you made the rounds too some of your sorrows yeah i was literally just kind of seeing what's going on because i've never been to miles college so i was able to meet some of the amazing stores of delta sigma theta sorority incorporated here in fairfield and they welcomed me with open arms so yes i may just make a pit stop after this game but boy oh boy it's earlier because you know china's barry said from the start former assistant head coach oc at southern university that at the end of the day this is the measuring stick for benedict college to see where they are in relation to playing the back-to-back siac champions here all on the line here we go fourth down in goal from the one yard line in motion is campbell foster waiting for the snap he gets it he gives the oc oc is he in for a touchdown it's a touchdown touchdown benedict college oh [Applause] [Music] and again it's just a battle of the o-line and the d-line you see the motion there and you see omari on coleman just with the legs churning and just continuing to stay up and he gets that ball it looks like he gets that ball to cross the plane well they ruled it a touchdown there is no replay so rick roberto tanoco will come in to attempt the extra point attempt as you get a look at oc they call him oc omarion coleman now we're back to the extra point attempt it's up it's on the way and that kick is good [Music] and with 19 ticks of the clock remaining and for all the miles defense was able to do to really shut down the ground game for benedict's college this half it all comes down to a handoff from dave foster oc punches that ball in and benedict is on the cusp of getting its first siac division or conference win of this season and we talked about coach janice barry and he just ranted and raved about omarion about they call him oc just a freshman folks a 4.0 gpa in high school and in college thus far so it couldn't happen to a more representative of the student athlete at hvcu absolutely and you know not only for the benedict side but miles also prides itself in being about the student part of student athletes so and miles has an interesting situation here i mean there's still 17 seconds left on the clock to see if maybe they can drive this down and send this game into overtime 19 seconds remaining we'll check back 12 presidential scholars on the miles college football scene all right here we go number 61 rig berto tenoco will kick the football off it'll go into the corner robinson he'll field it at the 10. robertson the 15. hurdles a man and he's going to be driven out of bounds oh don't bring him down too toughly as gries is that who was that number 25 on that tackle tavian grice yes on that tackle i thought they might have gotten them for a little extracurricular activity but that's an eight-yard return and another player down for benedict this time yeah it's been there's been some popping out there as you get a look at the repellate of that return by number 11. that's la anthony robinson and anthony robinson with a little bit of a heisman lead there if you will but wisely kind of leans to get out of bounds which is a good thing because that at least keeps 14 seconds on the clock and gives miles college an opportunity to maybe get a couple plays in and put themselves in field goal range 24-21 benedict college just re-took the lead on a one-yard rush by omarion coleman milhouse he'll pass over to andrews who makes the reception at the 29 yard line so that's an 11 yard pass play with 10 seconds to play but let's not mince words they've got to get in at least field goal position force bradlin to have an opportunity to at least tie this game milhouse and the miles college offense with the football first and ten of their own 29 twin receivers to the near side twin receivers to the far side milhouse looking looking still looking six seconds to play he'll toss it up and it falls errantly by the benedict college bench and it will bring forth a second down with four seconds to play tenetra and nearly picked off on that play as well but milhouse does his best to buy time he scrambles throws that ball to the outside but it's just out of the hands of his receiver and really that ball could have been easily picked off so this very well could be the last play of tonight's game we'll just see what has to happen here four ticks to the clock remaining twin receivers each side milhouse back to pass he looks he throws it's going to be picked off picked off by benedict college coming back up the other way and running out of bounds is number 22 key von ross kevon ross and there's no time left on the clock keyvon ross two pass breakups two pass defenses and one int to seal the deal tanitra and what a heads up play by ross just knowing that miles was going to throw that ball to the outside so that they could get out of bounds and then just the presence of mind to say hey this is game i'll just go out of bounds and end this what a tremendous contest benedict they led by a score of 14 to nothing at half however the champions that they are the mild college golden bears they storm back with 21 points of their own to take a 21-17 lead but how about the resolve of coach barry and the tigers from benedict college coming and how about that heads up play by the benedict secondary we heard so much about mitchell smiley and that secondary for miles college but when it counted benedict's secondary comes up huge no question about it as the teams they exchange pleasantries there you see coach janice barry off to the right of our screen getting congratulations from his assistant coaches and what a tremendous effort by both of these teams tonight you have been watching southern intercollegiate athletic conference football on espn presented by ubs with our final score the benedict college tigers 24 the miles
