for smu with at least one reception mordecai to play fake over the medal boy does he love calcutta his tight end a gain of nine you take advantage of every moment looks like a jason whitton starter kit first and ten outside look at the cut by singers he is getting yards in big chunks rakestraw brings in robertson they need him healthy and playing well for the back half of the schedule and he's really started too mordecai in third and ten what a shot across the field calcutta automatic gain of 12. caught too far inside that smu's 11th first down of the night two-lane none footwork out of the backfield flag on the play that roderick daniels on the reception you see the face mask there 21 uh kerr the guilty party first and goal again out of smu big plays to this point mordecai to the end zone got the tara wants the flag he's not getting [Applause] dual threat uh not quite all right so we'll put that a little bit ball play rod i mean the the fake on the back side jojo dorsius is gone 30 plays to six 216 yards to 17. wayne's got to get it going and you said it they are going to fight they like this player that's taj spears it's really got some juice that they're going to have to try and contain at the first first down for the green wave ball spotted at the 40. pratt has time gonna look downfield has a man caught by jaquan jackson [Applause] by michael pratt so here goes tulane with the temple shot at the end zone it is caught and just like that tulane scores shay wyatt [Music] [Applause] first down gain of 15. kind of loosened everything up you're talking about the throw again having a look to make sure that it was caught possessed stand as it did merrick glover on for the extra point 22 seconds left here in the first quarter three games i'm addicted that kick's gonna be able to be returned that's massey massey has some space stays on his feet brian massey like he did in the opening kick giving smu remarkable field position casey glover the kicker had to go forward when you're going to the left and the ball's on the inside they absolutely will second and seven for mordecai crossing route you mentioned the tight ends here's another one touchdown smu tommy mcintyre [Applause] but it doesn't matter he's able to move up and then watch the throw drops it right over the outstretched defenders hands that was kevin henry the linebacker gets down to mackay extra points [Applause] 24-7 everybody talks about better than their record but ultimately when you have a record like that and you're playing against them you got to blow them out so third and eight what can pratt and tulane do they call a run what a play call that spears off the left side and chip long dials up a run on third and eight in a game of 13. left side so first and ten ball spotted at the 40. that's going to be spears again off the left side boy he can make a cut and get out there quickly two consecutive runs crossley brings him down again at 15. yeah and that time first episode of the hilltop on espn plus let's just say he likes the cameras how about the defense look at crossley call his name he's not just a db he'll get in there in the traffic and tackle bring it up a fourth down evan haven't stopped smu yet in mustangs territory pratt quick throw had a man wide open and he missed him fat watts was wide open would have been an easy first down and it fell into get a hail mary in there it is worth it you get the emotions get the limit i mean you're getting all access to calcutta mordecai gain of 13. young rising stars in the coaching profession also looks a lot like lincoln just like him mordechai third and ten what a throw off his back feet [Applause] rasheed rice on the reception flag on the play let's see what gets called offense number 11. 15 yards from the previous spot still third down rice on the reset defensive understanding which is why sonny dykes comfortable with him as the offensive coordinators are here third and 25 out of the backfield to roberson that's gonna be a gain of nine and bring up fourth down for smu so someone you trust to evaluate a player here mazza on for a 47-yard attempt snap clean kick left no good so for the first time tonight to lane he just put on eliza chapman and robinson missed the tackle now third and two and wouldn't you figure and all all-world 20-yard run has to get two for the first down and he's stopped [Music] ball spotted at the 30. mordecai climbs the pocket does a good job avoiding the rush and mordecai big game good presents 16 yards and a first down well the block same kind of thing it's a different kind of transfer portal for smu because they're bringing in a lot of texas kids stated texas kids third and nine mordecai does a good job keeping his feet that is a veteran quarterback right there reggie got an smu in some third and long some second and longs seems like more often than not the mustang's able to convert pressure again mordecai against dan to the pocket that's rice over the middle misses a couple of tackles gets out of the way all the entire first half 19 minutes so far picks up the rush that's another good slant pass get in the end zone reggie roberson touchdown smu 22 yards and as i said a second ago that play puts the ponies on 400 for the first half the scrimmage johnny kerr puts his hand on him and then just loses contact you get a missed tackle by the safety kerr just dies for his here's the breakdown 100 even rushing 300 even i can do the math there that's cameron carroll keeping it to the outside of the louvre that was absolutely that's just stunning to look at down the hairy line tough sledding as they tried to go downfield you cannot go three and out here and that's cam carroll off the right side he's gonna pick up a gain of five and at this point i wouldn't be stunned to tip long and willie fritz come out the chip long wanted one backed off it it's a good shot there his view on the sidelines fourth and two pratt to throw has time to the sidelines and it's gonna be a first down for two lanes shea wyatt on the reception could not afford to go at that point no four and out he went forward he had to get some momentum if you're gonna stay in this game pratt play fake sets his back foot gonna take the shot down field has a receiver and that's jackson who caught the 50-yarder earlier the only tight end in the game right now [Applause] pratt looks left fades one to the end zone wyatt goes up and gets it and that's a good start for tulane first possession second half seven plays 75 yards two tight ends in the game both of them to the bottom of the screen see kids you learn watching football pratt looks right throws right another pass at wyatt that falls incomplete so wyatt his second touchdown of the night tonight six plays see if smu they or tulane rather just went down the field and scored showing pressure see if they can get off the down early tanner mordecai designed run and that's gonna be fourth in shorts dorian williams on the stop stay on the field fourth and one they go for it singers trying to oh second effort ball popped out they're gonna rule him down short of the first down after further review the runner was down the line league game baldy plays at the 39-yard line first down wow close to going down until later in the spin so tulane does get that defensive stop after scoring on their first possession see what they can do here good field position taj spears the buntak nothing called but a couple of plays going their way they got to capitalize brat second and three has the room to run he's gonna keep it himself in a slide and that will get a flag that's gonna get a flag seven days a week that's a slot looking like he's gonna come he's got trips right spears in the backfield pratt quick throw tips and avoids the interception that would have been hayley the two lane to climb back in this one they're gonna split out lined up for a fake smu doesn't appear to call a timeout what are they going to do rolls left throws to the end zone has a man incomplete intended for will wallace so third and five they can get the ball back here if they stop smu plenty of time for mordecai has all and day takes advantage of it calcutta had been busy early on hadn't called his name in a while that's gonna be a gain of eight in the first down feels like he's open for about 10 seconds watch 88 in the middle of your screen he's just hanging out still open still open making myself available to the quarterback he does a great job nine consecutive completions from mordecai brings up a third and long low snap mordecai going to take a shot has gray and the huge night for danny gray continues another third and long for this two-lane defense siegers in the backfield in motion leaks out to his left mordecai time over the middle boy is this guy tough on third down [Applause] that caught by dylan gaultney [Applause] he's been replaced by alan ali [Applause] touchdown smu a missed tackle by dorian williams 14 carry 78 yards and two touchdowns shuffle on that offensive line but number 77 alan ali kicking out to right tackle able to team up with justin osborne the right guard driving the defender back a 91-yard drive again that came after the trick play these fake field goals change then you get smu some third and longs and you're not able to convert she's been really demoralizing in a lot of ways for tulane second at six another big gain for cameron carroll so they're going to be on the field the rest of the way in that offense carroll out of the backfield that's going to be a first down carol's got more takes it inside the five and a big play at a michael pratt gain of 44. right away one back big gain inside the 10. first and goal green wave to the end zone deuce watts count it touchdown tulane down 19 points so trying to cut it to 17. nice job on the back shoulder deuce watts pratt stays on 38 to 19. [Applause] pratt pressured over the middle could have been picked off falls incomplete richard moore again on the qb pressure it remains yeah tulane lining up for that onsides kick and it's gonna bounce around green wave look like they've got it [Applause] they do ronnie you can tell by the way they were lining up that that claw your way back into the game under 10 in the third they give smu's defense steps up loss of one how many times have we seen a call like that as we start the fourth quarter fourth and eight for two lane down 38-19 pratt has to scramble can't get away what a series for richard moore [Music] he was all over the yard on that careers elsewhere and have found their way back home here to dallas third and seven incomplete intended for gray he's good out of harry but with a banged up shoulder was playing fearless against houston third and ten to run off the left side to cameron carroll that's gonna be a gain of two [Applause] so now fourth and eight training on on madden goes up they said he's got good hands too yeah best hands on the team when's the last time a player that had a neck roll had good hands 70s tom rathman tom rathman have good hands there's calcutta on the field calcutta has been his guy in these situations mordecai pocket gets hazy he's able to step out of it look at that cut he slides they're gonna want the flag mordecai gets up mouthing off got to have it 38 yard field goal attempt by mazza there's more points for smu now 41-19 decision they came back that's how it's supposed to work i would applaud everyone all around our replay official michael stevens and everybody involved on that one to get it done in a correction third and nine taking a shot has a wide open deuce watch coverage bust for smu watch by smu on other shows you'd be fine a dollar yeah sure cracks [Music] absolutely pummeled by gary wiley it's called yeah i'm with you there matt i i understand why it was called the late slide i mean if you're a quarterback you've got to be smarter look i'm with you it's tough to be a defender but it was clear he was slightly i don't think it was clear not for a guy that's running full speed at a quarterback you can't assume it so two lane punches it in for the touchdown taj spears [Applause] meanwhile nice play by tulane opening up a lane on that left side [Applause] so now 41-26 i don't think that went 10 yards [Applause] we have had some things happen in the last year is the most defenseless position you can be in a football field going head first is safer obviously running is safer in a lot of ways oh here goes tyler levine clear eyes full hearts can't lose everything but your neck roll 44 yards catching that football fairly easy you know what if you're gonna score i'm gonna take that oh by the way for the call for the next two and a half years yes sir completely agree with that that was the backup quarterback ty horton was in after richard moore applied the pressure there's pressure in the face of horton like you said he's just trying to dump it to the back doesn't it count for slade talked about earlier in the show four star kid out of dallas texas went to paris is in it quarterback sonny dykes is really fired up about that though there's brandon epton lowering his shoulder and hit the player in the chest love it because we've been talking about it all night right some of these these targeting calls on quarterbacks and there you see stone over the middle so let's let's show it again and now that's acting up the middle and another touchdown for smu boy has this offense been electric tonight [Applause] 612 [Applause] it's it's been so evenly spread throughout the offense too epton now getting in them you talk about smu now at the beginning of the show beginning of the game in texas going to the sec and that starts everything third and one cameron carroll is going to get the first down between us it'll likely be a topic of discussion going forward hope that michael pratt's all right for their game next week [Music] that's so the struggles continue for tulane smu stays perfect on the season now 7-0 we are going to learn a lot about this team here in the coming weeks roddy final thoughts on what you saw out of the mustangs tonight that guy was fantastic tanner mordecai was excellent especially on third and longs he had an excellent game a helmet sticker worthy game matt but but it was a complete team effort to buy smu the defense
