THIRD TACKLE ALL THIS POSSESSION BUT NOT BEFORE BUFORD PICKS UP A FIRST DOWN HE TALKED TO HIS COACH TREY ON THURSDAY AND ASKED HIM ABOUT JD JD AND HE IN THE FIRST THINGS THAT CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH HE

CALLED BY GAINESVILLE FIRST TIME OUT OF THE GAME WITH 324 TO GO IN THE FIRST QUARTER DEAL LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE BUFORD RESUME WE COULD PROBABLY PUT THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT SCREENS WORTH OF GRAPHICS

OF THE GAME FOR XAVIER GANTT WHO'S ACTUALLY LISTED AS A BACKUP CORNERBACK WE DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE HIM ON OFFENSE AND THAT'S ONE THING THAT COACH SIMPSON IS GONNA TRY TO DO HE DID SAY HE PLAYS FIVE OR SIX GUYS BOTH WAYS AND THE WAY TO KEEP THOSE GUYS FRESH IS TO BEND SPRINT SOME OTHER GUYS IN WITH SPEED IN THE BILLY GANTT IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHEN YOU DO A GREAT JOB IN ROTATING YOU KNOW THAT SPEAKS A LOT ABOUT CHANGING DIRECTION ALSO CHANGE OF OPPORTUNITIES AND WHAT GOES ON IN THE ENDING SIDE OFF THE SIDE THE BALL DEEP AND THAT'S TERRENCE WILSON INTENDED FOR AT THE 10-YARD LINE WE'RE GONNA GET A

NEED SOMEONE TO STEP UP ON THE DEFENSE SIDE OF ALL TO MAKE A MAKE A TURNOVER TO MAKE IT HARD HIT JUST TO CHANGE THE MOMENTUM HE HATE THIS DEFENSE IS HOLD THIS DEEPEST IS HOME THEY REALLY HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THIS CROWD BACK INTO THIS BALL GAME SO AFTER THE HOLE THAT'S ONE WAY TO SHIFT MOMENTUM THAT'LL BACK HIM ALL THE WAY UP TO THE 40-YARD LINE AND THAT SETS UP ABOUT A FIRST DOWN IN 18 19 YARDS TO GO MAN IN MOTION IS NEAL THEY'LL ROLL OUT TO THE NEAR SIDE VAN GORDER LETS IT FLY TO GET A BIT LOW INTENDED FOR NEAL AND IT'S INCOMPLETE AS A LATE INCOMPLETION CALLER TO LEAVE THAT BALL

START OF THE SECOND QUARTER ALL BUFORD TEN TO NOTHING AS THEY HAVE ALSO JUST FORCED GAINESVILLE INTO A PUNTING SITUATION AND KILLING IT HAS BEEN A HARD-FOUGHT BATTLE BUT I DON'T BELIEVE WE THOUGHT THAT BUFORD WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE THE BALL THAT THEY HAVE WAY I HAVE AGAINST GAINESVILLE TIME OF POSSESSION WELL IN THE WOLVES YOU SEE THAT FEW FOR EIGHT MINUTES AND 19 SECONDS KINGSVILLE THREE MINUTES 41 SECONDS YOU KNOW IN THE GAINESVILLE DID HAVE A TURNOVER SHARABI THAT GOT IT TO GET ON BUFORD'S TERRITORY AND HAD A HAD A NICE LITTLE TURNOVER THERE BUT AT THE END OF DAY BEUTLER HAS PRETTY MUCH HOLD A NUMBER THIS FIRST QUARTER SO FAR MAKING SURE THEY DO WHAT THEY DO BEST STICK TO WHAT THEY KNOW AND THAT'S THE RUNNING GAME BABY WELL THEIR PLAN COMING TO THE GAME WERE THE BEST WAY TO NEUTRALIZE WATSON WAS TO KEEP HIM ON THE SIDELINES AND THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO I THINK THEIR BIGGEST ATTRIBUTE SO FAR TONIGHT HAS BEEN ABLE TO STOP TO SHAUN WATSON WHEN HE'S CALLED HIS OWN NUMBER YES THE WATER SOUND WATSON I THINK IT'S RUNNING A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH RIGHT NOW I THINK HE REALLY NEEDS TO GET INTO A RHYTHM OF THE PASSING GAME WHAT HE DOES BEST HE PASSES THE BALL WELL THIS GUY IS ARGUABLY ONE THE BEST QUARTERBACKS IN THE NATION SO LET'S SEE HIS ARM COACH PUT THE BALL IN HIS HAND SEE WHAT HE COULD DO ON THIS DRIVE BECAUSE HE IS A GOOD ONE AND HE'S GONNA STAND IN HIS OWN TWO AND A HALF YARD LINE TO PUMP FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT IT'S A VERY GOOD SNAP AND A TEAR CAUSE IT GOES STRAIGHT UP THE CHUTE BARELY CROSSES THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE TAKES A VERY MODEST GAINSVILLE BOW TO THE BUFORD IS GOING TO GET PHENOMENAL FIELD POSITION AT THE 34 YARD LINE PUNT JUST NET OF 16 YARDS KELA YEAH IT'S THE PUNT OF 16 YARDS IT'S KIND OF RARE YOU SEE A QUARTERBACK PUNTING THE BALL HOME BUT HE IS AN ATHLETE AND IT'S SHANKED IT YOU KNOW PICK YOUR HEAD UP GO TO THE SIDELINE GET THE COACHING GET WHAT YOUR RECEIVERS GET WHAT YOUR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN AND MAKE SURE YOU CAN HAVE A GOOD DRIVE ON THE NEXT GO-AROUND WELL WE'VE GOT TO MENTION THIS GAINESVILLE TRAILED LAST WEEK TO WEST FORSYTH 21 TO 10 IN THE SECOND QUARTER AND THEY CAME BACK TO WIN THAT FOOTBALL GAME BY A SCORE OF 58 TO 28 SO THEY'RE CUSTOMED TO BEING DOWN BUT THEY'RE GIVEN A COUPLE OF GIFTS TO BUFORD HERE IN THE EARLY GOING AND BUFORD MOVING THE BALL WELL AND THEY'LL RUN IT HERE AS MITCHELL HANDS OFF THE HOXSEY ON THE FIRST PLAY AND HE PICKS UP NINE YARDS ON FIRST DOWN AND HE'S TACKLED BY LINEBACKER COREY ROGERS WE'LL HAVE TO SAY ONE THING ABOUT THIS GAINESVILLE DEFENSE AS YOU CAN SEE THIS FREE PLAY HERE BECAUSE

GOOD JOB GREAT JOB BY THIS OFFICE A SENIOR A LEFT TACKLE AT HARRISON MORGAN BY LEADING THE WAY AND THEY GO WILDCAT AGAIN HERE IT'S THOMAS WILSON IN THE WILDCAT AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO GO FOR THE 10TH SWEEP BUT A BAD EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE CENTER AND THE WILDCAT QUARTERBACK AND THEY'RE FORCED TO POUNCE ON IT AND THAT WILL TAKE AWAY A LOT OF THE YARDAGE THAT HOXSEY GAINED ON FIRST DOWN LOOK AT THE REPLAY SOMETHING THAT DRIVES COACHES CRAZY HEADS-UP PLAY BY THE RIGHT DEFENSE IN JAMEL DUBE DUBONNET BECOMING IN IS THE FUMBLES MAKING THE TURNOVER RIGHT THERE SECOND TIME TONIGHT WE'VE SEEN THE WILD

YARDAGE SHE PICKED UP EIGHT YARDS ON FIRST DOWN AND THEY CAN'T PICK UP A FIRST DOWN WITHOUT SCORING THEY'VE GOT TO GET THE BALL TO ABOUT THE TWO AND A HALF YARD LINE AS THEY RUSH TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND GIVE IT THE WILSON AGAIN AND HE BOUNCES OFF A COUPLE OF TACKLERS AND LOSES HIS HELMET AND BY GEORGIA RULE WANTS HIS HELMET COMES OFF THE BALL IS DEAD HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE A FOOTBALL

DEFENSE WE GOTTA WATCH THEM GOING OUT IN THE FLAT TO BIRD THEN LOOK AT THE LITTLE MAN TURN ON THE SPEED FIVE FOOT FIVE AND A LATE PENALTY COMING IN WAY OVER HERE ON THE NEAR SIDELINE IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THAT CALL IS BUT A 910 YARD RUN ON FIRST DOWN BY BYRD [MUSIC] THEY GIVE GAINESVILLE THE SIDELINE WARNING WHICH MEANS THEIR GET BACK COACH HAS GOT TO SNAP INTO ACTION AND WALK THE SIDELINE UNTIL THE YOUNG MINDA GET BACK AS YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE YOU CAN SOUND US IT'S A LITTLE FRUSTRATION BY THE COACHES THEY'RE ON LINE ON THE FIELD TRYING TO MAKE SURE THE GUYS ARE WANT IN THE RIGHT POSITION THEY HAVE THE RIGHT PLACE FIRST DOWN PASS TO JAY GUARD LOCK HIS FIRST CATCH OF THE GAME YOUNG MAN HAD 10 CATCHES LAST WEEK HE WAS BY FAR THEIR BEST PLAYER AND HE RECEIVED OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS HERE AT GAINESVILLE HIGH SCHOOL AND IT'S HIS FIRST TOUCH AND HERE COMES WATSON LOOKY BANKS SOME OPEN AREA KNOBLOCH BREAKS OFF HIS RAP THAT'S HIS ONE OVER THE MIDDLE LAYS OUT AND MAKES THE CATCH AT THE 40-YARD LINE DEFENDING ON THE PLAY STRONG SAFETY TRAINED EEL NICE SO FAR FOR THE RED ELEPHANTS THAT'S WHAT MAKES HIS SON WALKS IS SO ELECTRIFYING HE HAD NOTHING AND HE ALSO MADE SURE HE KEPT LOOKING LOOKING DOWN THE FIELD AND MAKES HE FOUND HIS RECEIVER ONE HIS FAVORS FOR A NICE PITCHING CATCH AND THEY GO EMPTY BACKFIELD HERE AFTER THE 24 AT 4 YARD LINE FIRST DOWN PLAY THERE INSIDE FUTURE TERRITORY AND THEY'RE DRIVING THEY GO SIDELINE TO RAGLAN AND RAGLAN SLIPS DOWN AS HE BACK PEDALS OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 32 YARD LINE AND THE OFFENSE WILL HAVE TO RESET THE SID SEE IF GAINESVILLE CAN GIVE THIS GET THEMSELVES A TYPE OF RHYTHM WITH NO PENALTIES THEY HAVE THAT LEADER ON HIS TOES RIGHT NOW HE'S GETTING A CALL FROM HIS COACH ON THE SIDELINE THEY HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT FORMATIONS TRADE THAT WORKS FOR THEIR BABIES WE'LL HAVE TO FIND WHAT REALLY REALLY STICKS WATCHING REALLY ORCHESTRATING THINGS BACK THERE THEY GO MEET UP AND HE GETS FLUSHED OUT OF THE POCKET AND TURNS ON THE WHEELS AND THERE IS A VERY VERY LATE HIT OUT OF BOUNDS BY LITTLE LINEBACKER DION KING THEY'LL TACK 15 YARDS ONTO THAT THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY A LATE HIT AFTER THE FIVE YARD RUN BY DESHAUN WATSON YEAH THIS DEFENSE KNOW THAT THAT WAS THIS A BAD BAD BAD BAD MISTAKE BY THE DEFENSE SIDE BY MR. DION KING YEAH HE WATSON GETS OUT THE POCKET NICE PRESSURE RIGHT THERE AND HE'S TRYING TO FIGHT FOR MORE YARDS AND INCUS SEES HIS LATE HIT JUST TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR NOW NOW KEELING WHEN YOU PLAY A QUARTERBACK THE CALIBER OF WATSON YOU'RE PLAYING DEFENSE YOU'RE JUST ITCHING TO GET A HIT ON HIM HOW HARD IS IT AS SOMEBODY THE DEFENSIVE BACKFIELD COMING UP AND RUN SUPPORT TO HOLD BACK AND NOT MAKE THAT BIG PLAY RIGHT THANK YOU CLEARLY OUT OF BOUNDS YOU KNOW SOMETIMES YOUR EMOTIONS GET THE BEST OF YOU SOMETIMES YOU GET LOST IN THE GAME BUT YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS A BIG TIME GAME YOU KNOW FLY TO AMMAN BELL RINGS IT THIS IS A BALL GAME YOU SEVEN TO YOU UP 17 NOTHING YOU HAVE TO PLAY SMART YOU THAT'S JUST THAT TOTALLY UNCALLED-FOR NOT A GOOD PLAY SHIFT OUT OF THE TRIANGLE FORMATION BROKEN PLAY AND ONCE AGAIN WATSON IMPROVISING IT ALMOST BREAKS FREE AT THE 20-YARD LINE GOING DOWN FALLING FORWARD TO ABOUT THE 17 YARD LINE HE ONCE AGAIN MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING AND THIS IS WHAT HE DOES BEST LOOK AT THIS LOOK AT THE TIME THAT HE HAS BACK THERE HE'S BRUSHING HIS TEETH HE'S GETTING KEEPING SOME COFFEE AND IT REALLY SIGHS TO TAKE IT IN THERE TAKE YOU TO FOR HIS OWN CALM AND I LIKE THAT RIGHT BACK HE'S GOING TOWARD THE ENDZONE HE'S GOT A MAN AND LOOKS LIKE HE WAS INTENDED FOR A GOD LOCK BUT THERE IS A FLAG DOWN ON THE FAR SIDE ABOUT THE 18 YARD LINE [MUSIC] AS WATSON WAS GOING FOR HIS PRIMARY TARGET JAY GARLOCK ONCE AGAIN [APPLAUSE] AND THIS ONE WILL BE ENFORCED AGAINST THE RED ELEPHANT SO IT'LL BACK THEM UP AND KILL THEM THEY CAN ILL AFFORD TO HAVE PENALTIES HERE BECAUSE THEIR OFFENSES HAD A HARD TIME GETTING MOMENTUM AND THIS IS HONESTLY THEIR FIRST DRIVE OF THE GAME WHERE THEY'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO MOVE THE BALL AND AFTER THE LAYTON HIT OUT OF BOUNDS OF THE 15-YARD PENALTY HERE THEY FIND THEMSELVES BACK ALL THE WAY UP TO ABOUT THE 23 23 AND A HALF YARD LINE AND THEY WERE DOWN NEAR THE 15 YARD LINE BEFORE EXACTLY THIS IS JUST HEY YOU KNOW THIS TYPE OF OFFENSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MISTAKES LIKE THIS DO THEY YOU KNOW YOU HAVE DIFFERENT TYPE OF FORMATIONS THERE'S A LEGAL SHIFT THERE YOU GOT TO COMMUNICATE ACROSS THE BOARD THAT IS NOT JUST GONNA TAKE YOU SOME WATCH IT TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW IT BUT EACH PLAYER HAS TO COMMUNICATE ACROSS THE LINE SO THEY CAN MAKE SURE THEY KNOW WHO'S ON THE LINE WHO'S OFF THE LINE AND NOW THEY GOTTA BURN A TIMEOUT BECAUSE PERSONNEL WASN'T IT CORRECT YEAH ONE THING ABOUT GAINESVILLE THERE'S SO MANY MOVING PARTS THEY HAVE ABOUT 25 PLAYS IN THEIR PLAYBOOK BUT THEY HAVE EIGHT OR NINE DIFFERENT FORMATIONS FOR EACH PLAYS SO YOU DO THE MATH AND SO THEY HAD THE ILLEGAL SHIFT THEY CAME OUT THEY WENT AWAY THIS YEAR PEELING FROM THE ARMBANDS THAT HAD THE PLAYS ON HIM AND NOW THEY'RE JUST GIVING ARM SIGNALS FROM THE SIDELINES SOMETIMES THE YOUNG MEN HAVE A HARD TIME WORKING IT OUT JOHN NELSON WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT WELL THAT'S THE BIGGEST STORY SO FAR IT'S BEEN ALIZE AND STOPS AND STARTS WE FIGURED THAT BUFORD WAS GOING TO TRY TO ASSERT THEIR WILL AND THEY'VE DONE EXACTLY THAT LOOK AT TIME OF POSSESSION YOU GUYS DO THE MATH UPSTAIRS AND I KNOW FOR SOME OF US LIKE ME IT WOULD TAKE A LOT LONGER AND I'D HAVE TO TAKE OFF MY SHOES BUT BUFORD CYMA POSSESSION HAS BEEN HUGE AND THE MISTAKES THAT GAINESVILLE'S BEEN MAKING SO FAR HAS KEPT BUFORD GETTING OPPORTUNITIES TO GET THIS BIG LEAD SO FAR AND THAT PENALTY FOR GAINESVILLE'S PUSHING HIM FURTHER BACK YEAH IT'S DRIVING THE COACHES CRAZY AND EVEN HERE AFTER COMING OUT OF THE TIMEOUT THEY'RE HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING ON THE SAME PAGE COACH MILLER AND DESHAUN WATSON AS HE COMES OUT AND DELIVERS THE PLAY TO HIS BACKFIELD [APPLAUSE] SECOND DOWN AND NINE THEY FAKED THE REVERSE AND IT LOOKS LIKE WATSON WANTS TO THROW THE BALL LOOKING FOR RAGLAND AGAIN BUT HE BOBBLES IT AS HE FALLS OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 21 YARD LINE THAT'S THE SECOND TIME HERE ON THE NEAR SIDE THAT RAGLAN'S BEEN UNABLE TO COME UP WITH THE CATCH SEEMED LIKE THE FAKE AND REVERSED THERE TRYING TO GO A FAKE SCREEN TO THE LEFT AND RUN A BACKSIDE SHORT SIDE IN THE BOUNCY SCREEN HEY I THINK THEY DID A GREAT JOB BY THE CORNER BACK THERE THEREBY PLUS ENOUGH TO PLAY NO BACKS HERE'S WATSON FLUSHED FROM THE POCKET HE HAS TO IMPROVISE ONCE AGAIN AND THE WOLVES CLOSE IN ON HIM WITH A 40 TACKLE MADE AFTER A MODEST GAIN BY AUSTIN SMITH THE 63 220 POUND A JUNIOR LINEBACKER AND SEE WHAT THIS COAST DOES HE HAS A NICE THIRD AND SHORT A THIRTY THIRD AND THREE A THIRD AND FOUR THEIR FOURTH DOWN EXCUSE ME FOURTH AND ANOTHER SIDELINE WARNING FOR GAINESVILLE AND THEY HAVE DECIDED TO GO FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN HERE TREY YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD DO SOMETHING QUICK IN THE BOUNDARY OR SOMETHING TO THE OUTSIDE OF BOTH WATCH A BUBBLE SCREEN HERE OR A DRAW YEAH I THINK WITH THE QUARTERBACK LIKE TO SHAUN WATSON I'D BE SURPRISED IF IT DOESN'T GO DIRECTLY THROUGH HIM AS HE ROLLS OUT TO THE LEFT LOOKING TO THROW HAS A MAN OPEN AND IT'S LACKEY AT THE 10 YARD LINE AND THEY GO FOR IT ON FOURTH THEY GAMBLE AND THEY MAKE IT NICE ROLL OUT TO THE TO THE FIELD IT'S A NICE OUTLET SINK WELL I WAS GONNA SAY LIKE A 7 8 YARD OUT SOMETHING VERY VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE THROW THERE SOMETHING SAFE THIS IS WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING FUN TO JUMP I DON'T REALLY LIKE TO SEE WATSON RUN THE BALL BECAUSE HE HAS SUCH A GREAT ARM AND MULTIPLE RECEIVERS DECKING BALL STICK WITH WHAT'S WORKING RIGHT NOW MICHAEL BERG TRIED TO BOUNCE IT OUTSIDE AND THAT'S AND A HALF THAT HE GETS THIS BUFORD DEFENSE AND A LATE FLAG COMES IN LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF A HORSE COLLAR OR MAYBE EVEN A FACEMASK AND ON THE TACKLE AS QUARTERBACK THOMAS WILSON WHO YOU'LL SEE ALSO A LOT TONIGHT AT TAILBACK AS WE MENTIONED SIX OR SEVEN GUYS PLAY BOTH WAYS FOR BUFORD AND IS A PERSONAL FOUL FACE MASK ON BUFORD SO THAT'LL BE A HALF THE DISTANCE TO THE GOAL LINE FROM THE SPOT OF THE TACKLE WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE REPLAY THANK YOU SEE THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN BUT THIS BUFORD DEFENSE IS STAYING AT HOME MAN THEY DO A GREAT JOB BY ATTACKING AND RUNNING TO THE FOOTBALL THIS COACH SAID THEY GONNA HAVE TO DO A LOT OF WORK AND THEY DO A LOT OF CONDITIONING BECAUSE THEY DO A LOT OF SEVEN POSITIONS OWN STARTED TO SIT MAN THEY WEREN'T TO THE BAR EVERY TIME FIRST AND GOAL FOR GAINESVILLE FIRST TIME DOWN INSIDE THE 10 YARD LINE TONIGHT AND THEY PASS IT OFF THE PLAY ACTION AND IT'S GOT LOCK ANYTHING FOR THE TOUCHDOWN ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN FLIP DESHAUN WATSON HE HAD 49 OF THEM LAST YEAR HE JUST PICKED UP HIS FIFTH OF THE SEASON THAT'S A VERY NICE SAVE OPPOSITE HIS PAST GONNA FAKE THE DRAW THERE AND NICE READ IN THIS NICE LOOK FLAT PASS AND PLAYS A LOT OF SLOT NICE ONE-ON-ONE MATCHUP WITH THE LINEBACKER THERE YOU CAN SEE WHY WATSON LIKES JAY GOD LOCKS SO MUCH EVERYTHING HE DOES IS VERY CRISP AS WE SAID HE WAS THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK LAST WEEK WITH 10 CATCHES 183 YARDS AND HE SCORES HIS FIRST TOUCHDOWN OF THE SEASON NAMES ARE DOING A GREAT JOB BY DRIVING THE FEEL YOU KNOW COUPLE FLAGS WENT THEIR WAY NOW THEY'RE BACK IN THE GAME IF WITHIN 10 GAUGE TURNER WITH THE POINT THROUGH AND WE GOT OURSELVES A BALL GAME HERE WITH 704 TO GO IN THE SECOND QUARTER 17 TO 7 COOPER AS THE DEMAND FOR POWER GROWS GEORGE'S NONPROFIT MEMBER OWNED ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING SAFE AFFORDABLE AND RELIABLE ELECTRICITY TO OUR MEMBERS WE'VE BEEN DEDICATED TO BUILDING STRONG COMMUNITIES FOR MORE THAN 70 YEARS AND ARE PROUD TO JOIN THE GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION AND GEORGIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING IN SUPPORT OF OUR STATE'S STUDENT-ATHLETES [MUSIC] HERE AT CITY PARK STADIUM BOBBY GREENFIELD BUFORD LEADS 17 TO 7 BUT GAINESVILLE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF MOMENTUM AND LET'S TOOK TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR RESUME IT'S ALSO AN IMPRESSIVE ONE 12 AND 3 LAST YEAR STATE CHAMPIONS STARTED PLAYING FOOTBALL HERE IN 1905 WOW THEIR ONLY PREVIOUS STATE TITLES BACK IN 1925 IT'S KIND OF AN UNOFFICIAL TITLE THEY DIDN'T KEEP VERY GOOD RECORDS BACK THEN BUT THEY'LL TAKE IT AND THEIR RECORDS SINCE 2008 IS 61 AND 928 REGION CHAMPIONSHIPS THEIR FORMER COACH BOBBY GRUNE WHO THIS FIELD IT'S NAMED AFTER 254 IN 104 AND YOU SEE A SHOT THERE OF JAGO LOCKE WHO JUST CAUGHT A TOUCHDOWN PASS FOR 8 YARDS 10 PLAYS 81 YARDS 2 MINUTES AND 9 SECONDS THAT'S WHAT GAINESVILLE FOOTBALL IS ALL ABOUT THE GOAL FOR OFFENSIVE DRIVE IS EIGHT PLAYS OR MORE ON THE SCORING DRIVE TO REACH TIM PLAYS AND MORE 5MIL FROM THE CLUB IS EVEN BETTER BABY SO HIS BIG BUILDUP IS HIS STARTING TO GET TAKEN THIS IS A GREAT FOOTBALL GAME HE GAVE THE ROBE CHRISTIAN ESCALA KICKS THE BALL OFF IT'S TAKEN BY THOMAS WILSON AND HE HAS A HARD TIME PICKING IT UP OFF THE TURF AND HE GETS TACKLED DOWN AT THE 15 YARD LINE AND COMING IN TO PLAY QUARTERBACK FOR HIS SECOND SERIES OF THE GAME IS MONTGOMERY VAN GORDER IN AQUILINE WHEN VAN GORDER WAS IN THE GAME FOR THE SECOND POSSESSION OF THE GAME THAT LOOKS LIKE THEY LEANED A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TOWARD THE PASS THEY DID WHEN TAYLOR MITCHELL WAS IN WELL YEAH AS VAN GORDER DEFINITELY HAS GREAT FEET HE HAS HIS NICE STRONG ARM YOU KNOW THIS GUY HE'S A HIGH-SPIRITED PLAYER YOU CAN SEE HIM GETTING THE TEAMMATES HYPED UP BUT HE'S NUMBER 1 HE'S A PLAYMAKER AND THAT'S WHY COACH IS JUST SO HARD TO FIND THE STARTER AND STICK WITH HIM TO GIVE HIM THE GAME AND NO PLAY-ACTION HE'S GOT NADA OPEN BUT HE CALLS HIS OWN NUMBER IN THE CRACK BACK BLOCK BY NOT IS DEVASTATING IN THE 15-YARD LINE HE SAVES HIS QUARTERBACKS LIFE I THINK IF HE HAD IT TO DO ALL OVER AGAIN HIS HEAD COACH WOULD RATHER A MONTGOMERY VAN GORE JUST THROW IT TO THE BIG SIX SIX TIED IN BUT INSTEAD HE HAS A FIVE YARD RUN THERE ON FIRST DOWN AND THEY'LL SPOT THE BALL RIGHT AT THE 20 NICE NICE LITTLE ROLL OUT THERE DID YOU SEE THEM LAY THE WOOD AT THE END OF THE PLAY BY RUNNING OVER ONE OF THE SAFETIES ME OH MAN OUT HIS FATHER WAS WATCHING IT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD JOB BABY THAT'S WHY IT STUCK THAT'S HOW HIS FATHER TUCKS HANDOFF UP THE MIDDLE TO THE FULL-BACK AND SUCCESS AGAIN THE SIZE ADVANTAGE OF THE BUFORD OFFENSIVE LINE VERSUS THE GAINESVILLE DEFENSIVE LINE HAS BEEN VERY APPARENT HERE VERY EARLY IN THIS FOOTBALL GAME ARE ONLY A QUARTER AND A HALF THROUGH THE GAME AND ALREADY IT LOOKS LIKE THEIR DEFENSIVE LINES GETTING WORN DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT LOOK AT THE FANS UP HIGH THEIR TRADE THIS IS A FOOTBALL GAME MAN THIS REMINDS ME OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITH PEOPLE ARE HANGING OUT ON THE FENCE AND YOU HATE IT THEY DON'T NEED TO TAKE IT TO GET IN THE GAME THEY WANT TO WATCH THE GAME UP ALONG THE BRIDGE THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT MAN THERE'S A HIGH SPIRIT BAD DAY LADY'S SHIRT HE'S IN THE SECOND LEVEL DOWN THE SIDELINES IS JOSHUA THOMAS ONE MAN TO BEAT [APPLAUSE] BUFORD 77 YARDS TO THOMAS ON A THIRD AND THREE PLAY ALL THE WAY BACK AT THE 20-YARD LINE [APPLAUSE] RUN GREAT RUN BY TESSA WITH THOMAS MANN YOU CAN REALLY GET A CHANCE TO SEE THOSE BURNERS GOSEI WHEN HE GETS UP AN OPEN FIELD NOBODY'S GOING TO CATCH THEM THEN THERE'S GREAT VISION BY MAKING SURE GETTING TO THE EDGE THIS THIS IS A TEAM BY RUNNING BACK BY COMMITTEE YOU NEVER KNOW WHO'S GONNA STRIKE OUT GREAT JOB BY JOHNSON WILL THOMAS WHAT A TOUCHDOWN BEAUTIFUL ANSWERING BACK IMMEDIATELY AFTER GIVING SOME MOMENTUM BACK TO THE RED ELEPHANTS AND BARNABY'S IN TO ATTEMPT TO POINT AFTER AND IT IS GOOD JOSHUA THOMAS WITH SIX CARRIES FOR 44 YARDS AND A TOUCHDOWN LAST WEEK HE AVERAGED 7.3 YARDS PER CARRY LAST WEEK I THINK THIS IS GOING TO IMPROVE THAT AVERAGE IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO PROVE THE AVERAGE LOOK AT HIS UP AGAINST WAS UP FRONT IN HIS OFFENSIVE LINE HE JUST BASICALLY JUST WHOOPED THE SAFETY CHANDLER NEWTON TO THE OUTSIDE AND THIS PUT ON THE BURNERS AND WHEN THEY CROWD THE BOX LIKE THAT ON SHORT YARDAGE SITUATIONS ALL IT TAKES FOR A GUY WITH THAT KIND OF TALENT IS JUST TO GET OUT INTO OPEN SPACES IN THE OUTLAND THE REST OF THE GAINESVILLE DEFENSE THE YOUNG MAN IS NOW WITH THAT RUN GONE UP OVER A HUNDRED YARDS 104 TO BE EXACT HERE IN THE EARLY GOING AND WE STILL HAVE SIX MINUTES TO GO IN THE SECOND QUARTER YEAH BUFORD'S POWERFUL MAN THEY DO A GREAT JOB OF MAKING SURE THEY RUN I TALKED ABOUT THE NORTH/SOUTH FOOTBALL GAME THAT THEY HAVE IS THIS SPECTACULAR TONIGHT TO SEE IT'S REALLY GOOD BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF FOOTBALL THAT WAY THAT'S LIKE THE OLD SMASH MOUTH MY GUYS BURNING YOUR GUY I'M GONNA HIT YOU RIGHT IN THE MOUTH AND THIS GUY'S SEC GUYS YOU CAN SEE THEIR OFFERS FROM EVERYBODY 6-FOOT 202 POUNDS JUST A JUNIOR AND 55 SECONDS ON THE TCSG SCORING DRIVE THAT'S NOT GOING TO IMPROVE THEIR TIME OF POSSESSION STATS BUT I DON'T THINK THEY CARE AND A NICE KICK BY BONAD EASE THROUGH THE END ZONE IT'LL BE A TOUCH BACK AND ONCE AGAIN DESHAUN WATSON IS TASKED WITH GETTING HIS TEAM BACK IN THIS FOOTBALL GAME THEY SEIZE MOMENTUM AND THEN THEY GIVE IT RIGHT BACK ON THE SHORT YARDAGE SITUATION 77 YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN BY JOSH THOMAS IT'S BEEN ALL BUFORD TIME AND THEY'VE GOT TO FIND SOMETHING ON OFFENSE DO THE RED ELEPHANTS THAT ACTUALLY WORKS KEY TO A GREAT LEADER OF THE TEAM IS WHEN IT'S TIME WASHINGTON HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO DOWN TO AFFORD ANOTHER CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE AND DRIVE THEM DOWN THE FIELD AND ANSWERING AND TALKING BEAUTIFUL STUFF DOWN IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO DROP THE BIRD BUT WATSON'S GOING TO TAKE IT HE'S GOT A FIRST DOWN AND A LOT MORE HE TRIES TO FIND THE SIDELINES AND WISELY SKATES OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 43 YARD LINE EASILY HIS BEST RUN OF THE NIGHT ON A BROKEN PLAY HAD LOOKED EARLY IN THE PLAY LIKE THEY WERE GONNA TRY TO GET IT OUT IN THE FLAT TO THE NEAR SIDE TO MICHAEL BIRD BUT IT'S A 20 YARD RUN BY WATSON THERE YEAH JOHN REALLY LIKE HOW YOU KEEP HIS EYES DOWN THE FIELD FEMALE HE HAS SOME PLAY MAKERS OUT THERE THAT'S WHY HE WANTS TO SIT IN THE POCKET DEPICT HIS DEFENSE APART BUT HE CALLED HIS OWN NUMBER FOR THE FIRST JOBS BACK STRAIGHT DROP LOOKING FOR BIRD WHO 44 YARD LINE IT'D BE A LOSS WOULD BE BID JUST SIMPLY SICKNESS IT COMPLETELY [APPLAUSE] AND IT IS AN INCOMPLETE PASS WHICH IS ACTUALLY A GOOD THING FOR GAINESVILLE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOSS OF THREE NOW EMPTY BACKFIELD ON SECOND DOWN AND TEN TRAILING TWENTY FOUR TO SEVEN WITH FIVE AND A HALF MINUTES TO GET HERE IN THE SECOND QUARTER BEAUTIFUL CATCH OVER THE MIDDLE AND A NICE RUN AFTER THE CATCH DOWN TO THE 50 YARD LINE AND INTERVIEW FOR TERRITORY AT THE 49 IS CHASTON NEWMAN THAT IS DEFENSE THEY'RE RUNNING LIKE A ZONE TO THE LEFT AND A ZONE TO THE RIGHT BASES HIS QUARTERS AND OF THE ALL BALL GAINESVILLE OF DOING IS ATTACKING THEM IN THE INSIDE THERE'S AUSTIN'S LINER GOING OUT TO THE RIGHT WITH THE SCREEN THIS CLASS HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL EVERY TIME THEY RENT IT TONIGHT AND THEIR GAINESVILLE DOING A GREAT JOB AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY IN A CERTAIN CERTAIN COVERS ON THE DEEP INSIDE THE BALL AND RUNNING THAT TICKET TO THAT PLATE AND THEY'RE GONNA COME OUT AND TAKE A MEASUREMENT HERE FOR THE FIRST DOWN CHEST AND NEWMAN LOOKS LIKE HE'S GRABBING HIS LEFT WRIST OR HIS LEFT HAND AND FAVORING IT A BIT SO FAR HIM AND JAKE GARLOCK HAVE BEEN THE PLAYMAKERS ON OFFENSE BESIDES DESHAUN WATSON AND THEY'RE GONNA AWARD NEWMAN THE FIRST DOWN THEY'LL MOVE THE CHAINS AND THEY'LL MARK THE BALL JUST BARELY INSIDE VIEW FOR TERRITORY SO A GOOD START TO THE DRIVE FOR GAINESVILLE AND WATSON TAKES THE CALL FROM THE SIDELINES OF COURSE HE HAS CARTE BLANCHE TO DO WHAT HE WANTS BACK THERE HE CAN CHECK IN OR OUT PLAY AT ANYTIME AND HE'S GOT ALL DAY THE THROW GOES OVER THE MIDDLE IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PASS AND IT'S DROPPED BY JAY GOD LOCK THE SURE-HANDED JIGGLED LOCK AT THE 31 YARD LINE THAT WAS A BULLET HE SAID IN THE POCKET NICE AND TALL HE LOOKED THE SAFETY OFF WITH A NICE PUMP FAKE AND LOOK AT THIS PASS STRAIGHT THROUGH THE LINEBACKER IN TO SAY IT WAS A LITTLE BIT BEHIND JAY GARLOCK HE HIT YOUR HANDS BABY BUT IT HIT HIM RIGHT IN THE HAND YOU GOTTA CATCH THAT WATSON ON THE STRAIGHT PEOPLE AROUND THE LEFT SIDE AND HE DELIVERS SOME PUNISHMENT AT THE 45-YARD LINE AND GOES OUT OF BOUNDS AND WHAT THAT DOES IS SETS UP A MORE MANAGEABLE THIRD DOWN AND KEALING YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING EARLIER THAT YOU REALLY LIKE HIM WHEN HE HAS THE RUN-PASS OPTION OR IF HE'S JUST A STRAIGHT DROP BACK PASSER MORE THAN YOU DO WHEN HE GOES FOR THE STRAIGHT SNEAK YES I REALLY LIKE THAT YOU KNOW GIVES HIM AN OPTION TO GO THROUGH HIS PROGRESSION SAYS RUIZ WHAT NUMBER TWO'S DOOR NUMBER ONE RECEIPT WAS GOING ACTUALLY WHAT THE THIRD DOWN CHECKED OUT THAT UNTIL THEY BLITZ IT HE GOES UP TOP LOOKING FOR LAFAYETTE IT'S PICKED OFF THEN THE DEFENSIVE BACKFIELD AT NUMBER FIVE STEPHEN REIS AND ANOTHER TURNOVER THE SECOND OF THE GAME BY GAINESVILLE AND FOR THE SECOND TIME TONIGHT THEY'VE DROVE THE BALL NICELY AND THEN TURNED IT OVER TO THE WOLVES THEY'RE ALREADY DOWN 24 TO 7 WITH 436 TO GO AND IT'S A NOT SO ACCURATE PASS BY WATSON TAKE A LOOK AT IT HERE THANK YOU YOU CAN SEE THE DEMONS IN COMING OFF THE EDGE WITH THE PRESSURE HE JUST GOT HIT WHEN HE PUT THROUGH THE BALL HE KIND OF SHORT ON THIS THROW A LITTLE BIT THERE VERY NICE PLAY BY STEPHEN REIS BY CATCHING THE BALL AT THE HALF

JUST MADE A BIG PLAY ON DEFENSE FOR BUFORD THEIR OFFENSES REALLY HIGHLIGHTED THIS FOOTBALL GAME BUT WHAT WILL GO UNNOTICED UP AT THIS POINT IS THE TWO BIG TURNOVERS THE DEFENSE IS CREATED YEAH TAKE A LOOK AT BUFORD SINCE THE YEAR 2000 THIS IS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE GRAPHIC I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE KILLIN CHAMPIONS FINALS CHAMPIONS CHAMPIONS CHAMPIONS CHAMPIONS QUARTERS QUARTERS FINALS CHAMPIONS CHAMPIONS CHAMPIONS FINAL THAT'S EIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 12 YEARS THAT IS UNHEARD OF YEAH THEY THEY DO A GREAT JOB HERE HEY THIS IS A MACHINE YOU KNOW THEY GOT A FEEDER PROGRAM THEY GET ALL THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THEY COME IN THEY RUN THE SAME AS THAT PLAYS THESE KIDS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE GONNA RUN WHEN THEY BECOME A SCENE SO THESE KIDS ARE AHEAD OF THEMSELVES AND ALSO AHEAD OTHER PROGRAM SO LET ME PLAY THESE FUNNY YOU KNOW SOME FIVE SCHOOL BUT WHEN THEY FLED PUBLIC SCHOOLS THEY HAVE THE ADVANTAGE BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHERE THEY NEED TO BE VERY WELL COACH AND AS YOU CAN TELL THIS COMES DOES A GREAT JOB MAKING SURE THIS PROGRAM IS RUN EFFICIENTLY ABSOLUTELY YOU MAKE A GREAT POINT WITH THE FEEDER PROGRAM AND THE CONTINUITY IF THE COACHING STAFF DOESN'T HURT AS SIMPSON'S BEEN AROUND SINCE 95 TAYLOR MITCHELL COMES INTO THE GAME AT QUARTERBACK THEY'LL CALL SWEEP UP AT THE NEARSIDE FOR A MINIMAL GAME DOWN TO THE 27 YARD LINE CARRY BY XAVIER HOXIE TACKLE MADE THERE BY NUMBER 55 AND THAT'S G DARIUS OWES BJ DISO'S B WHO'S BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE SO FAR TONIGHT HE'S HIM AND DEVON STRINGERS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT ON DEFENSE FOR GAINESVILLE SO FAR [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC] [APPLAUSE] MICHELL GIVES AND STACKED UP IMMEDIATELY AS WELL AS NUMBER 22 DAVID CURRY ONLY HIS SECOND CARRY OF THE NIGHT AND A WONDERFUL TACKLE THERE BY JAMEL DABNEY THIS IS BRICE FOR BAT-TRAP DAY OH MY GOODNESS BIG BOY ADMIT HIM UP THE MIDDLE THAT BABY HAS TO TASTE IT THAT YOU NEED THEY NEED TO MAKE PLAYS IN THE BACKFIELD TF FELLS MAKING SURE THAT THIS CROWD GET BACK IN THE GAME THEY HAD TO CROWD IN THE GAME FOR LUA AND IS SLOWLY TRYING TO STEAL THE MOMENTUM BACK BY BUFORD DAVID CURRY THE 50 RUNNING BACK TO TOUCH THE BALL SO FOR TONIGHT FOR HUBERT AND HERE'S MITCHELL ON THE SHOTGUN ON THIRD AND 10 [APPLAUSE] AND HE TAKES A TIMEOUT DOESN'T LIKE WHAT HE SEES EITHER FROM HIS TEAM OR THE DEFENSIVE FORMATION AND DEVON STRINGER AND THE RED ELEPHANT DEFENSE COMING OFF THE SIDELINE TRYING TO GET THIS CROWD WHIPPED UP SOMETHING YOU MENTIONED A FEW MINUTES AGO FEELING THAT WE'VE GOT ABOUT 10,000 IN THIS STADIUM PROBABLY SIX OR SEVEN OF THEM ARE WEARING RED AND SO FAR THEY'VE BEEN SITTING ON THEIR HANDS YEAH THEY REALLY HAVE NOW I'M JUST LOOKING AT THIS MAN YOU HAVE FANS ALONG THE SIDE OF THE GOALPOST YOU HAVE FANS ALONE UP ON THE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE THERE IT'S JUST A LOT OF CITEMENT HERE THEY NEED SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF LET'S HEAD DOWNSTAIRS TO JOHN NELSON MELLIE LET'S TALK ABOUT THINGS TO BE PROUD OF WE'VE GOT REIGNING STATE CHAMPS HERE BUT WHEN IT COMES TO BUFORD THEY GOT ANOTHER ONE LAST YEAR TAKE YOU BACK TO 2012 AND THE GEORGIA DOME LET'S KIND OF SHOW YOU HOW IT HAPPENED HERE TORREY RODGERS WE TALKED ABOUT HIM HE WAS A BIG HITTER IN THE DEFENSIVE SIDE FOR BUFORD BUT THEN STAYING IN IT WAS ST. PIUS BEHIND JACK SPEAR BASEBALL PLAYER TURNED SENIOR STARTING QUARTERBACK BUT IT CAME DOWN IN A TIE GAME LATE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER DON TRAVIS WILSON TOSS PITCH ON A FOURTH DOWN HE'S GOING TO HIT THE EDGE AND GO THE DISTANCE PICKING THEM UP AND PUT THEM DOWN ON THE FAR SIDE SO BUFORD GETS ANOTHER TITLE TO WIN IT IN TRIPLE-A TO GO UP AGAINST THE 5A CHAMPS TONIGHT IT'S A FUN BATCH THAT WE'RE SEEING GUYS AND WE JUST SAW ANOTHER NUMBER ONE RUMBLE DOWN THE FAR SIDELINE FOR A BUFORD TOUCHDOWNS LIKE DEJA VU AND THEY GO VERY VERY CONSERVATIVE THEY'RE ON THIRD AND SHORT GREAT JOB BY THIS DEFENSIVE GANGUBAI MAKING SURE TO HAVE THE GAIN TAP AND KEEPING THEM FROM GAINING SO THEY RIGHT ALONG REALLY THAT WAS THE BEST DEFENSIVE SERIES OF THE NIGHT FOR GAINESVILLE THEY FORCED A TIMEOUT ON THIRD AND LONG AND AND BUFORD CAME OUT AFTER TAKING THE TIME OUT AND DECIDED TO GO PERC CONSERVATIVE WITH THOMAS WILSON AND NOW THEY'LL HAVE TO PUNT THE BALL AWAY FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT SPECIAL TEAMS IS A HUGE PART OF A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL WHY DON'T PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT PUNT RETURNERS KICKOFF RETURN WE HAVE YET TO SEE SOMETHING SPECTACULAR AND ESPECIALLY INSIDE THE BALL TONIGHT LET'S SEE WHAT GAMES THEY'LL CREATE FOR A KITCHEN AWAY THAT'S A LOW END OVER END KICK TAKES A BUFORD BALANCE AND IT'S FILLED THAT DANGEROUSLY AT THE 30 HARDLINE IT'LL SAVE GAINESVILLE SOME FIELD POSITION BUT A NICE PLAY MADE IN TRAFFIC FOR GAINESVILLE TODRICK TURNER 42 YARD PUNT TAKE A LOOK AT THE RUSHING TOTAL SO FAR TONIGHT AND THAT'S NOT REALLY SURPRISING WHEN IT COMES TO GAINESVILLE BUT IT DOES TELL THE STORY OF THIS FOOTBALL GAME 180 YARDS TO 31 ON THE GROUND OBVIOUSLY WE'VE SPOTLIGHT AT THE TIME OF POSSESSION WHICH IS DRASTICALLY IN THE FAVOR OF BUFORD BUT A LITTLE BIT OF MOMENTUM ON THE RED ELEPHANT SIDE FORCING THE THREE AND OUT FOR BUFORD OFFENSE FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT GOES FOR THIS GUY HE TAKES THE TAKES THE PASS OUT OF THE BACKFIELD ON AN EIGHT-YARD GAIN DOWN TO THE 39 YARD LINE IT'LL BE ABOUT TWO YARDS SHORT OF A FIRST DOWN IN GAINESVILLE QUICKLY BACK TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE YOU CAN SEE BIRD THERE YOU KNOW COACH TALKED ABOUT HOW GOOD HE IS IN SPACE HE'S VERY SHIFTY SHORT VERY FAST ON THE NEAR SIDE IT'S A COUPLE OF TACKLES IT'LL BE A FACE MASK IN THERE TRE NEAL GOT HIS RIGHT HAND IN THERE JUST BRUSH THE FACEMASK OF HEARD BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A PENALTY NONETHELESS THE PITCH AND CATCH WAS ALMOST GOOD ENOUGH FOR A FIRST DOWN BUT THE PENALTY WILL SURELY GIVE IT TO HIM [APPLAUSE] AND THAT'S A FIVE-YARD FACEMASK SO IT MOVES THE CHAINS FIRST DOWN FOR GAINESVILLE BRUCE MILLER AND COMPANY WILL TAKE IT AGAIN AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE RED ELEPHANT OFFENSE IS STARTING TO CLICK HERE AS THEY MOVE INTO BUFORD TERRITORY OH MY OLD BALL COACH ALWAYS TOLD ME HEY YOU TAKE WHAT THEY GIVE YOU AND THEY JUST TOOK A NICE CHUNK OF SEVEN YARDS BUT THIS DUBUQUE IS DEFENSE IN THE SLOT GUY AT T CATCH HIS LAST GAME HERE'S BIRD ON THE DELAY HE'S GOT THE FIRST DOWN THE SPEEDSTERS DOWN THE SIDELINE AND OUT OF BALANCE AT THE 38 YARD LINE ANOTHER FIRST DOWN AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING KEALAN THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO DO TOO MUCH THEY'RE TAKING WHAT THE DEFENSE IS GIVING THEM AND THEY'RE LOOKING VERY CRISP ON OFFENSE REALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT BESIDES THEIR TOUCHDOWN DRIVE A LITTLE OR SO DELAY DRAW THEY'RE JUST PICKING IT HOLD FOR BIRD IN THE BACKFIELD IS MAKING SURE YOU SEEING SOMETHING - MOODY CHAINS NICE RUN AND THEY FLEX BIRD OUT THIS DIVE TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND BACK FIELD NOW FOR ROBSON UNDER TWO MINUTES TO GO BEFORE HALF-TIME THIS IS A DESIGN QUARTERBACK SNEAK AND HE'S TACKLED IMMEDIATELY BY NUMBER 77 HUNTER HOLLAND THEY'RE GIRLS THAT FIRST CHOICE RUN-RUN DRAW FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE HIM BEFORE THIS IS A NICE PASS THAT IT HAS DROPPED BY RODNEY LACKEY AT THE 10-YARD LINE THAT WAS THE BEST THROW OF THE NIGHT BY FAR FOR DESHAUN WATSON YOU CAN SEE WHY CLEMSON IS SO EAGER TO GET THEIR HANDS ON HIM WATCH THE CRISPNESS OF THIS THROW LOOK AT THE TIME HE HAS HE SETS HIS FEET IS THIS AN ICE BULLET PASS THAT'S THAT'S A CATCHABLE BALL NO EXCUSES BABY HE'LL BE DOING PUSH-UPS ON THE SILO RIGHT NOW NEXT TO ME IF I WASN'T RECEIVE THE COACHING THIRD DOWN ABOUT 11 YARDS TO GO THEY GOT TO CONVERT HERE TO PRESENT THIS DRIVE FROM STALLING OUT BEFORE THE HALF THE LONG DEEP DOWN THE SIDELINE RAGLAN AND LACKEY ARE BOTH THERE AND SO IS WILSON WHO IS DEFENDING IT BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM AND IT'S WELL OVERTHROWN IT'LL FORCE FOURTH DOWN AND A LIKELY PUNTING SITUATION AND ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND HERE KEALING IS COACH MILLER IS NOT AFRAID TO FAKE PUNNETT BECAUSE WATSON IS HIS PUNTER I WONDER IF THIS IS A GOOD SITUATION TO DO THAT INSIDE BUFORD TERRITORY AT THE 40 YARD LINE WITH A MINUTE 25 TO GO BEFORE HALF TRAILING 24 TO 7 IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO GO FOR IT BUT ONCE AGAIN HE IS THE PUNTER IT MAY BE A NICE LITTLE POOCH PUNT HERE YOU NEVER KNOW THERE IT IS THERE IT IS GOOD CALL AND NO ONE BACK DEEP TO RECEIVE SO GAMES WILL TRY TO PIN IT INSIDE THE 5-YARD LINE AND THEY WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL DOING SO [APPLAUSE] CHECK US OUT NEXT FRIDAY WITH FOOTBALL FRIDAYS ALL-ACCESS PASS SHOW LIVE AT SEVEN O'CLOCK FOLLOWED BY THE GAME OF THE WEEK WE'RE AT NORCROSS HIGH SCHOOL WHERE THE BLUE DEVILS WELCOMED IN THE NORTH GWINNETT BULLDOGS FOR A SPECTACULAR GAME FRIDAY NIGHTS IN GEORGIA WERE NEVER MORE FUN IT'S GPB SPORTS FOOTBALL FRIDAYS ALL-ACCESS PASS SHOW FOLLOWED BY THE NORTH GWINNETT NORCROSS GAME OF THE WEEK THAT'S SEPTEMBER 13TH NEXT FRIDAY AT 7 O'CLOCK RIGHT HERE ON GPB SEE IF WHAT KIND OF DEFENSE A DRIVE THAT THEY COULD PUT TOGETHER HERE IS A NICE STOP NICE BIRD DOWN FOR BERT STOCKING ON THE DRIVE THE LAST TWO NEWS BUT GIVE THE BALL TO CAMP WHO'S BEEN PLAYING A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH WAYS HE'S THE BACKUP QUARTERBACK JUST A SOPHOMORE AND SO FAR TONIGHT WE HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL BUT HE HAS CARRIED THE BALL A FEW TIMES AND A MINUTE 8 SECONDS TO GO BEFORE THE HALF WE'VE GOT AN INJURED PLAYER IN THE OFFENSIVE BACK FIELD FOR GAINESVILLE THE MAN DOWN IS NUMBER 47 JACK KAMINSKI'S OUTSIDE LINEBACKER AND HE WAS SLOW TO GET UP AFTER THE LAST PLAY AND REMAINS DOWN AND KEELIN WITH A MINUTE 6 TO GO BEFORE HALF UP 24 TO SEVEN YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING UP AGAINST A HIGH-POWERED OFFENSE THAT CAN PUT UP 30 40 POINTS LIKE THAT SO WHAT DO YOU DO HERE WITH A MINUTE TO GO PIN DEEP IN YOUR OWN TERRITORY YOU TRY TO RUN THE BALL YOU TRY TO RUN OUT THE CLOCK THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO I WOULD IMAGINE IS GIVE THE BALL BACK TO THE OFFENSE WHERE IN THE RED JERSEYS WELL YOU KNOW THE PERSON WHO'S ON THE FIELD LINE NOW YOU KNOW BUFORD THERE'S NOT LIKE THEM THEY COMING OUT SLINGING THE ROCK THEY ACTUALLY BEEN AROUND THE BALL YOU KNOW TRYING TO GET THE LOADS ARE LARGE HERE A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE THERE THE GAMES THEY'VE BEEN DOING A TERRIBLE JOB ON DEFENSE BY TACKLING TO RUN THE BALL SEE WHAT THEY GIVE YOU IF YOU POP A BIG PLATE THAT'S MORE POWER TO YOU THERE'S A FLAG DOWN ON THE FAR SIDELINE AND MONTGOMERY VAN GORDER GOES OVER TO DISCUSS WITH HIS COACH WHAT THE PLAY IS AND IT'S A 5-YARD PENALTY ON GAINESVILLE SO THEY GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE BREATHING ROOM TO THE WOLVES WITH A MINUTE THREE TO GO AND I AGREE WITH YOU FEELING I MEAN HERE SO FAR THE RUNNING GAMES BEEN YOUR BREAD AND BUTTER WITH A MINUTE TWO SECONDS TO GO THE CLOCK RUNNING YOU'RE ABLE TO GET INSIDE GAINESVILLE TERRITORY YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO TROT THAT FIELD GOAL KICKER OUT AGAIN HE'S ALREADY GOT A 47 YARD [MUSIC] AND BORDER WITH THE GIVE BEGAN HIS SECOND CARRY IN A ROW PICKS UP ANOTHER NICE CHUNKY YARD ON FIRST DOWN AND THEN HE GETS A HELMET TO THE CHEST AT THE 40-YARD LINE THEY HAVE TREY ON THE LAST DEFENSE DRIVES FOR GAINESVILLE THEY'RE STARTING RUNNING BAD JOSHUA THOMAS WENT IN THE BACKFIELD TO TRIED TO MAKE A PLAY ON WATSON AND GOT HURT SO IT'S THINK HE'S MOVE THINK HE'S MOVING A LITTLE BIT ON THE SIDELINES NOW THERE BUT PAY ATTENTION TO HIM BECAUSE HE'S BEEN A BIG FACTOR IN THE RUNNING GAME TONIGHT AND THAT LAST GRAPHIC WE SHOWED YOU 250 YARDS TO 177 THAT'S NOT THE NORM FOR GAINESVILLE THEY'RE USED TO PUTTING UP 40 50 60 POINTS ON THE BOARD BUT REMEMBER THIS GAME LAST YEAR WAS JUST A 19 TO 15 CONTEST GAINESVILLE THE NEWPORT AND THEY'LL HEAD TO HALFTIME HERE TRAILING IN THIS ONE AT HOME 24 - 7 BUFORD HAS LOOKED AWFULLY GOOD ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL WE'VE SEEN SOME SPURTS FOR THE GAINESVILLE OF WHAT THEY'RE

AND FIND OUT WHAT THE SECOND HALF STRATEGY IS FOR THE RED ELEPHANTS IS JOHN NELSON STANDS BY WITH COACH BRUCE MILLER NELLIE THANK YOU TREY AND DON'T GET HIT BY THE FOOTBALL DARRELL NICE JOB IS STANDING STILL FIRST QUESTION LET'S TALK ABOUT IT YOU WERE LAST WEEK TO WEST FORSYTH YOU CAME BACK DOWN 11 NOW YOU'RE DOWN 17 AT THE BREAK WHAT YOU TELL THEM JUST GOT TO KEEP FIGHTING I MEAN WE'VE DOWN WE JUST GOT TO KEEP FIGHTING AND FIGHTING WE'LL GET BACK IN THIS THING WE'LL GET BACK IN THIS THING IF WE DON'T IF WE DON'T QUIT FIGHTING AND THEN OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE KEYS TO KEEPING DESEAN IN CHECK IS CONTAIN THEY HAD A LOT OF THAT IN THE FIRST HALF WHERE THEY DID AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE WINNING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND WE NEED WE NEED TO GET IT BACK AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PLAY HARD - SECOND HALF THANKS BRUCE ALL RIGHT SENATE AND SEND IT UPSTAIRS FOR STATS AND STUFF THANKS NELLIE WELL FIRST WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE STATS AND THEN THE STUFF ANYTHING THAT STICKS OUT TO YOU I KNOW I SEE THE RUSHING YARDAGE BANDAGE FOR BUFORD THAT'S WHAT STICKS OUT TO ME WHAT ABOUT YOU DEALING NOW I'M LOOKING AT THE TIME OF THE POSSESSION THERE TRE BUFORD HAVING 14 MINUTES AND 12 SECONDS OF TACKLE POSSESSION THAT IS IMMACULATE YOU LOOK AT GAINESVILLE 9 MINUTES AND 48 SECONDS YOU KIND OF KNOW THAT GAINESVILLE IS GONNA HAVE TO HAVE THE LOWER HAND WHEN IT COMES TO BUFORD OF TIME POSSESSION JUST FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT HEY WE RUN THE BALL GAINESVILLE YOU PASS THE BALL SO YOU'RE GONNA SCORE A LITTLE BIT QUICKER THAN US BUT HEY GAMES WILL HAVE NOT PUT POINTS ON THE BOYS BUFORD HAS PUT POINTS ON THE BOARD AND THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE THE ADVANTAGE BARNABY IS AND IT'S NOT HANDLED WELL BY HOLDER FIELD INSIDE THE 5-YARD LINE IT'LL BE A TOUCHBACK ONE THING THAT JUMPED OUT FOR ME ON THAT STAT LINE IS EACH TEAM HAS EIGHT FIRST DOWNS IT'S THEY'VE LOADS YOU TO SLEEP A LITTLE BIT HAS GAINESVILLE WITH THEIR ABILITY TO MOVE THE BALL BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT CONSISTENTLY BUT KEALAN YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING IN THE FIRST HALF THAT REALLY STUCK OUT TO ME THEY NEED TO GO BACK TO WHAT THEIR STRENGTH IS AND MORE OF A HIGH PERCENTAGE YES YEAH BECAUSE SOME OF THE OTHER STUFF THAT THEY WERE DOING WASN'T WORKING WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO GET A LITTLE I'LL SAY CUTE FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD THEY HAVE SOME TOWN ON THE SOFTENS THEY'VE JUST GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WORKING THIS DEEP WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT A TOOTH TRADERS FIRST HAS A LOT OF DROP BALLS BY THE RECEIVER SAY AND THAT IS NOT NORMAL FROM THIS BALLCLUB IF YOU HAVE SOME OF THOSE CATCH BALLS THIS THIS GAME WOULD BE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STORY AND THERE'S ANOTHER PASS BEHIND J GUARD LOCK AND THAT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT WE'VE SEEN A LOT TONIGHT BUT I WILL SAY THIS KEEL AND YOU MENTIONED IT THEY BOTH PLAY FOOTBALL AND WE'RE USED TO HEARING CODE TO SAY IF YOU CAN TOUCH IT YOU SHOULD CATCH IT MOST OF THE PASSES BY WATSON HAVE BEEN BEHIND HIS WIDE RECEIVERS BUT YOU BELIEVE THEY SHOULD COME UP WITH THOSE MOST SPECTACULAR CATCHES SLITHERS IN A FAIR COLLEGE BIG TIME PLAYERS MAKE BIG TIME PLAYS THERE IT IS INSIDE SCREEN IS SUCCESSFUL AS IT CUTS BACK AGAINST THE GRAIN IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR A FIRST DOWN CATCH MADE BY JOSH HOLDER FIELD DO WE NORMALLY SEE BACK RETURNING TIPS HE TOUCHES THE BALL ON OFFENSE FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT IT'S A BIG RED ELEPHANT FIRST DOWN THIS BALL CLUB IS HIGH ON HIM AND HE DOES A GREAT JOB HE HAS A LOT OF SPEED WE TALKED ABOUT WHO STRETCHES TO FEEL 4 AND 1/2 WHO STOOD OUT IS JOSH AS YOU CAN SEE THEM STEPPING UP MAKING A BIG-TIME PLAY THERE YEAH SOME PEOPLE YARDS RECEIVING THE TOUCHDOWN LAST WEEK BUT THIS ONE'S GOING TO COME BACK BECAUSE AND THEY'LL BRING IT ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE 15-YARD LINES TO THE NICE PIGEON CATCH FROM WATSON THE HOLDER FIELD IS ALL FOR NAUGHT AND ONCE AGAIN BUFORD IS BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL A LITTLE BIT AS WATSON PEERS TO THE SIDELINE FOR THE CALL KOTAKU BY SHOOTING YOURSELVES IN THE FOOT HERE YOU WANT TO START OUT RIGHT THEY JUST COME OUT FIRST BLADE WE GOTTA PROVE IT AND THEY LOOK FOR MIKAEL THIRD FLARE OUT BLOCK ON THE OUTSIDE AND THE FIVE FOOT FIVE TAILBACK GETS OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 20-YARD LINE AND THEY GET BACK TO THE ORIGINAL LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AFTER THE TOUCH BACK BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR GAINESVILLE IT'S THIRD DOWN AND LONG THE ONLY THING THAT GAINESVILLE HAS WON FOR THEM THAT THEY CAN WIN FROM BEHIND THE MASK WHAT THAT'S WHAT GIVES THEM UPPER HAND IN THE SECOND HALF WHAT DOESN'T GIVE BUFORD UP A HAND IN THE SECOND HALF THEY ARE PLAYING LIKE EIGHT GUYS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL AND THAT'S NOT GOOD THAT'S A GREAT POINT WE'LL SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT AS WE GET INTO THE LATTER MINUTES OF THIS GAME WATSON GETS AWAY FROM PRESSURE UP FIRST BUT THEN CAN'T GET AWAY FROM PRESSURE THE SECOND TIME AND HE HAS DROPPED BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE FOR A SIGNIFICANT LOSS SEVEN-YARD LOSS TO BE EXACT SECOND TIME WATSON'S BEEN SACKED TONIGHT AND IT'LL BRING UP A PUNTING SITUATION FOR DESHAUN WATSON AND GAINESVILLE DOES GREAT JOB ABUSES BEAUTIFUL DEFENSE THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB BY CONTAINING HIM NOW'S ONE THE KEYS GOING INTO THIS GAME YOU HAVE TO CONTAIN - SHAWN WATSON HE CAN KILL YOU WITH HIS ARM AND THEY HATE GIVING HIM ENOUGH TIME AND GET SOME PRESSURE BACK THERE THAT'S A GREAT JOB SACK BY RYAN COLEMAN AND HERE'S THOUGH WATSON PUNT AND IT'S A REALLY GOOD TIME HANDLING AT THE 30 YARD LINE PICKS IT UP TRIES TO RECOVER AND HE'S GOT THE SOLDER ON ANOTHER PIT BOX ACROSS MIDFIELD GAMES NET TERRITORY AT THE 48-YARD LINE A 55 YARD PUNT IN A 15 YARD RETURN THAT IS AWESOME MAN I SEE WHY THEY GOT THIS GOT FUN PUNCH I THINK YOU DO A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING TRE WELL SOAK IN THOMAS WILSON THIS GUY WE'VE SEEN HOW THE BACKFIELD TONIGHT WE'VE SEEN HIM AT STARTING CORNERBACK OPPOSITE HIS TWIN BROTHER TERRENCE AND HERE HE IS RETURNING KICKS THAT'S THE SECOND KICK HE'S HAD A HARD TIME HANDLING BUT YOU CAN SEE WHY THEY PUT HIM BACK THERE IS PRETTY DYNAMIC ONCE HE GETS THE BALL ON THE SAME VAN GORDER BACK IN AT QUARTERBACK AND HE'LL ROLL OUT TO PASS AS HE'S DONE FREQUENTLY TONIGHT HE'S 20 TRYING TO GET SOME BLOCKS ON THE OUTSIDE GETS WON BY THE TIDE IN COLEMAN PICKS UP A BIG-TIME FIRST DOWN AND I LIKE WHAT I SEE HE HAD A VAN GORDON HEY MATT PLEASE THAT'S THE SAKE OF TIME I SEEN HIM TONIGHT DROPPED HIS SHOULDER AND WE'RE HUNTING'S OVER A SAFETY AND A TIP LOOK AT THAT RIGHT THERE HEY YOU GOT A HALF AS YOU LEADER PULLING OFF INSIDE THE BALL YOU GOT A NICE BLOCK BY SENIOR CAMERON POOLE CAUGHT AN 11 YARD TOUCHDOWN EARLIER IN THE GAME IT'S A FIRST DOWN FOR BUFORD AND HERE THEY DO GET THE BALL INSIDE TO THOMAS HE'S BEEN A LOAD TONIGHT OVER A HUNDRED YARDS AND HE PICKS UP THREE ON FIRST DOWN AND RIGHT NOW BUFORD DOING A GREAT JOB HE'LL AND OF GOING INSIDE OUTSIDE INSIDE OUTSIDE AND KEEPING THIS GAINESVILLE DEFENSE ON THEIR HEELS WELL THAT'S BEST APART THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF A GOOD OFFENSIVE STRATEGY KEEPING THE DEFENSE UNBALANCED YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN'T GET INTO THEIR COMFORT ZONE THEIR NORMAL THREE-FOUR DEFENSE YOU GO YOU KNOW THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THE MEET UP FRONT BUT YOU'RE TESTING THEM ON OUTSIDE BUT THERE'S ACTUALLY A WEAK POINT OUT THE DETAILS 74 [MUSIC] AND GAINESVILLE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE PEELING THAT THEY'VE COME OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM WITH THE PURPOSE THAT COACH BRUCE MILLER REALLY WANTED THEM TO HAVE WHICH WAS DON'T QUIT DON'T GET UP DON'T GIVE UP NOW THEY MAY NOT HAVE QUIT OR GIVEN UP BUT RIGHT NOW THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT HUMPING THEIR CALLS WITH PENALTIES YEAH BILL IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO YOU WANT TO STRAY AWAY FROM SAYING THAT IT'S CLOSE BALLGAME YOU KNOW YOU'RE DOWN RIGHT NOW IT SEEMED LIKE NOTHING NOTHING CAN REALLY GO YOUR WAY I'M DEFINITELY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THESE PERIOD TOSS SWEEP THOMAS RIGHT SIDE AND HE BULLDOZES HIS WAY FOR A BIG BUFORD FIRST DOWN HE'S TACKLED BY STRONG SAFETY LUIS COUSINS AND TWO QUICK PENALTIES FOR GAINESVILLE HERE IN THE THIRD QUARTER HAVE REALLY KILLED HIM SO FAR ON THE NIGHT FIVE PENALTIES FOR 35

CARRIE NICE INTO THE OPEN DEFENSIVE BACKFIELD ONCE AGAIN BEFORE BEING SLAMMED DOWN AT THE 27 YARD LINE ANOTHER FIRST DOWN AND FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT ON THIS DRIVE RIGHT NOW WATSON HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET IT DONE WITH HIS LEGS SOMETHING HE COULDN'T DO IN THE FIRST HALF OF 21 YARD CARE WHO'S GONNA BE ON WHICH I SEE A DIFFERENT LOOK IN HIS EYE AS I SEE HIM RUNNING IT RUNNING THE BALL HE'S DETERMINED HE WANTS TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN FOR HIS TEAM AND RIGHT NOW THEY ARE NOT HELPING HIM THEY'RE JUST REALLY NOT HELPING HIM BY DROP BALLS I MEAN IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE AND IT'S KIND OF FRUSTRATING TO BE THE LEADER OF YOUR TEAM WHILE YOU'RE TRYING TO PUT THIS TEAM ON YOUR BACK SO YOU CAN GET THE W BEFORE TONIGHT THERE'S J GARLOCK DROPPING HIS SECOND BALL THE NIGHT BY MY COUNT KEEL AND THAT'S THE SIXTH DROP TO PASS BY GAINESVILLE AGAIN A LITTLE BIT BEHIND THAT HE'S NOT HITTING ANYBODY IN STRIDE THAT'S FOR SURE BUT THEY'RE CATCHABLE PASSES AND THEY'RE REALLY NOT HELPING THEM IN IT COMES WITH THE DRIVE STALLING OUT AND BUFORD NOT BEING FOOLED RIGHT THERE THEY KNOW WATSON HAS BEEN THE BEST WEAPON WITH HIS LEGS ON THIS DRIVE AND THEY CLOSE IN ON IT IN A HURRY ON THIRD DOWN IT'S A NO GAME THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING AS A COMPETITOR YOU CARE ABOUT ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO THE GAME OF FOOTBALL YOU WANT TO BE THE BEST AT IT YOU EVEN SEE THAT IN WATSONS EYES RIGHT NOW THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL DEFENSE IS GETTING AFTER HIM THEY'RE HITTING HIM THEY'RE PUTTING HIM ON THE GROUND I MEAN IT I BELIEVE AT LEAST 60% OF THE TIME EACH PASS MADE TONIGHT A BUFORD DEFENDER HAS BEEN TACKLING HIM AS SOON AS HE RELEASES THE BALL WATSON DOES A GOOD JOB HERE GETTING RID OF THE BALL BUT LOOK AT THE HIT BY BEN WICKER CORNERBACK LAY IN THE WOOD THAT DISRUPT THE PASS THIS IS A GREAT BREAK AND DRIVE ON ON THE CORNERBACK THAT IS SOMETHING YOU REALLY HAVE TO HAVE THEM FROM YOUR SECONDARY BUT MAKING SURE YOU YOU SEE THE BALL AND YOU BRAKE ON IT MAKE THEM A GREAT ATTEMPT AND HERE IS GOD LOG MAKING A NICE CATCH ON THE SIDELINE WHICH IS SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH OR ALMOST GOOD ENOUGH FOR A FIRST DOWN LET'S SAY IT'S FOURTH DOWN AND ONE [APPLAUSE] SO IT'S NOT A FIRST DOWN THAT WAS A FOURTH DOWN PLAY SO IT'LL BE A TURNOVER ON DOWNS AS GAINESVILLE GOES FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN FOR THE THIRD TIME TONIGHT THEY WERE 1 IN 1 THEY CONVERTED ONE AND FAILED TO CONVERT ONE EARLIER IN THE GAME AND HERE THEY JUST ABOUT HAD ONE BUT GOD LOCK TAKEN OUT OF BOUNDS OF YARD SHY SO IT'LL BE 1ST DOWN AND 10 FOR BUFORD AND GAINESVILLE'S DRIVE ON OFFENSE STALLS OUT ONCE AGAIN TAYLOR MITCHELL IN HANDING IT OFF ON THE OUTSIDE - EVAN COOPER THIS FIRST CARRY OF THE GAME HE'S DOWN THE FAR SIDELINE ONE MAN TO BEAT HE'S OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 40 YARD LINE GET MAD ABOUNDS BY STRONG SAFETY LEWIS FUZZUMS WHO SAVES THE TOUCHDOWN YARDS FOR EVAN PEOPLE THIS IS A BIG-TIME PLAY BY BUFORD NICE PLAY CALLING JUST A NICE COUNTER COUNTER UH-OH COMING OFF THE BACK SIDE OF THE BACK COUNTER COME AROUND THE OFFICE ALIGNMENT JUST MAKING SURE THAT CLEARING UP THE OUTSIDE FOR HIM AND HE'S OFF TO THE RACES KEEPING THE BALL HIGH AND TIGHT FOR THE 33 YARDS AND EVAN COOPER SO FAR THIS SEASON IT'S EARLY THEY'RE ONLY A GAME AND A HALF AND A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO THE SEASON BUT COOPER WAS THE GUY THAT CAME IN LATE LAST WEEK AND RACKED UP SO MANY YARDS IN THE SECOND HALF HE HAD 93 OF THEM TOTAL HE ENDED UP BEING THE WOLVES LEADING RUSHER LAST WEEK AND HE COMES IN ON HIS FIRST TOUCH OF THE GAME AND DOES A GREAT JOB HERE AND IT'S THE PLAY PLUS THE PENALTY AS THERE'LL BE A 15-YARD PENALTY TACKED ON AFTER THE PLAY AND RIGHT NOW GAINESVILLE IS REALLY MAY GOING TO MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT IF THEY WANT TO COME BACK IN THIS GAME JUST 17 MINUTES AND 24 SECONDS TO GO IN THIS CONTEST AND THEY TRAIL 31 7 YOU KNOW I OBVIOUSLY YOU SEE SOME FANS GETTING READY TO HIT TO HIT THE EXIT HERE ON A GAINESVILLE SIDE PACKING UP SOME OF THEIR CAMERAS PACKING UP SOME OF THE CHAIRS IN THE STANDS AND GOOD THING THAT BUFORD DOES THEY HAVE TO RUN THE BACK SPOT TO ME TO HERE NOBODY'S SELFISH EVERYBODY IN THAT RENDER BACK CARD THEY'RE COMMITTED TO EACH OTHER AND THEY WORK HARD TOGETHER SO WHENEVER THEIR NUMBER IS CALLED THEY'RE PREPARED TO RUN AND MAKE SURE THEY RUN HARD STOP AND GO ROUTE 4 TRAINEE LAND IT'S OVERTHROWN BY MITCHELL WHO HASN'T HAD TO AIR THE BALL OUT MUCH WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN IN PASSING SITUATIONS MONTGOMERY VAN GORDER HAS BEEN IN THE GAME SO IT'S AN INCOMPLETION IT'LL BE SECOND DOWN IN 10 AT THE 31 YARD LINE MITCHELL'S FIRST INCOMPLETE PASS OF THE NIGHT HE'S DROPPED BACK FIVE TIMES [APPLAUSE] AND DON'T EXPECT TO SEE A SENSE OF URGENCY OUT OF THE WOLVES AT THIS LARGE LEAD WITH FIVE MINUTES TO GO IN THE THIRD QUARTER HERE'S A GIVE TO THOMAS AND HE FUMBLES THE BALL WE'LL SEE IF THEY CALL HIM DOWN THE BEANBAG GOES ON THE FIELD AND THEY'LL AWARD THIS BALL TO GAINESVILLE SO GAINESVILLE THAT THEIR FIRST OLIVER OF THE NIGHT BINFORD'S GOTTEN TWO OF THEM AWAY FROM THE RED ELEPHANTS AND NOW THE RED ELEPHANTS GET LAID AWAY FROM THE WOLVES AND IT COULDN'T COME AT A BETTER TIME FOR CREATING TURNOVERS NUMBER ONE GOAL FOR A DEFENSIVE GAME PLAN GOING INTO A GAME YOU HAVE TO CREATE TURNOVERS THIS GIVES MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR OFFENSE YOU KNOW WHAT TYPE OF OFFENSE GAINESVILLE HAVE THEY HAVE A REALLY HOT PROFILE OFFICE NICE SPREAD OFFENSE AND THEY'RE QUICK MOVING MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR MR. TAYLOR TO CREATE FOR HIMSELF STRONG SAFETY LUIS COUSINS THE ONE THAT DISLODGED THE BALL AND HERE'S A PASS OUT IN THE FLAT AND YOU DROPPED BY BERG AND I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT WATSON HAS ACTUALLY HIT A GUY IN STRIDE AND BIRDS PROBABLY THE BEST GUY TO HIT IN STRIDE PROBABLY THE FASTEST GUY ON OFFENSE AND THAT'S THE SEVENTH DROP PASS OF THE NIGHT I DON'T KNOW IF THEIR GLOVES ARE WET YOU KNOW BECAUSE I KNOW SOMETIMES IT'S HUMID AT NIGHT ON FRIDAY NIGHTS BUT THIS IS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR YOU KNOW DROP BALLS IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY HAS HURT THIS TEAM TONIGHT IF THEY WOULD HAVE COMPLETED MOST OF THOSE PASSES THAT THEY HAD TONIGHT FROM FROM MR. DESERT OF THE CHANTAL LAST THERE WILL BE IN HIS BAKLAVA A LOT MORE AND HERE GOES BIRD AGAIN THEY RUN THE SAME PLAY AGAIN AND JUST THINK ABOUT IF THOSE PASSES THAT HAVE BEEN DROPPED TONIGHT AND THERE BEEN SEVEN OF THEM HAD BEEN COMPLETE RIGHT NOW DESHAUN WATSON JUST 122 YARDS AWAY FROM TON THOUSAND CAREER PASSING YARDS HE SET THE RECORD LAST YEAR IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND NOW HE'S TRAILBLAZING THAT'S 122 YARDS THAT HE COULD HAVE ACHIEVED ALREADY BY NOW IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE DROP PASSING GREAT POINT RAY THERE GOES WATSON FLUSHED OUT OF THE POCKET AND HE TESTS THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AGAIN GETS VERY VERY CLOSE TO A FIRST DOWN HE NEEDED TO GET TO THE 34 YARD LINE HE GETS TO THE 35 AND THAT'LL MOVE THE CHAINS FOR GAINESVILLE [MUSIC] HERE IN THE PISTOL FORMATION HERE TREY DO A LOT OF VARIETY OUT OF THIS YOU CAN DO A LITTLE POWER OLD YOU DO SOME OPTION OUT OF THIS YOU DO SOME COUNTERS OUT OF THIS GAAAH BLOCK MOVES FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT THEY GO TO BIRD EXCUSE ME THAT'S CHASTENED EVEN ON THE FAR SIDELINE THEN ON ONE AND HE'S KNOCKED OUT OF BOUNDS DEFENDED ON THE PLAY BY CORNER SOPHOMORE CHRIS BERG THAT'S JUST A OVERTHROWN BALL YOU KNOW HE TRIED TO DO A LITTLE BACK SIDE SHOW THE FATE BUT THE BALL WAS JUST LOOKED A LITTLE BIT TOO HARD FOR THE RECEIVER CORNERBACK WAS REALLY REALLY OFF OF HIM BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO GO DEEP I THINK THAT'S EXACTLY WAS SOMETHING THEY REALLY NEED TO ATTACK THE CORNERBACKS OF PLAYING EIGHTHS TO EIGHT TO NINE YARDS OFF OF HIM AND THEN STILL TRYING TO GO DEEP AND THEY GO TO HOLDER FIELD THEY TRY TO RUN A TUNNEL SCREEN AND IT'S INCOMPLETE SECOND TIME THEY'VE TRIED TO DO THAT THE FIRST TIME ON THEIR FIRST POSSESSION OF THE SECOND HALF WAS SUCCESSFUL TO HOLD THE FIELD AND YOU MENTIONED IT EARLIER IN THE BROADCAST HOLDER FIELD IS A SPEEDSTER FORM AND IT'S WISE TO TRY TO GET HIM THE BALL IN A HIGH PERCENTAGE PLAY BUT THEY GOT TO HANG ON TO IT DEFENSIVELY THAT'S COACH WELL THEY'RE PICKING UP ON THOSE TENDENCIES RIGHT NOW THEY REALLY SEE IN IT THIS TOO CITY COLLEGES PERISH THIRD TIME THEY'VE RAN THAT PLAY SECOND TIME FOR A COMPLETION IN THIS DRIVE BUT THE STAR OF THAT PLAY WAS JOSH HOLDER FIELD WHO MAKES A DEVASTATING BLOCK ON THE NEAR SIDE AROUND THE 45 YARD LINE NUMBER FIVE GOT IT DONE RIGHT HERE CAN YOU SEE MICHAEL BYRNE GETTING THE BALL OUT IN THE FLATS NICE PASS HE'S VERY SHIP IS WEAK AS WE AS WE KNOW HIM THERE GOES ANOTHER TURNOVER AND THAT'S THAT'S ENDO GRANDVIEW AND THAT ONE WAS PUT ON THE GROUND AND IT WAS OBVIOUS WHO RECOVERED IT SO BUFORD ON THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THREE GAINESVILLE TURNOVERS TONIGHT ALL THREE OF THEM COMING WILD GAINESVILLE'S DRIVING THE FOOTBALL AS YOU SEE THERE FUMBLE THERE MR.

THE NFL KNEW AND WHEN THEY KNEW IT AND THE LEVEL OF DENIAL WAS JUST PROFOUND THE INSIDE STORY YOU CAN'T GO AGAINST THE NFL THEY'LL SQUASH IT ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOMENTS FOR FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA WAS IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WHEN NORCROSS WON THE 6A TITLE I INTERVIEWED ALVIN KAMARA AND THE QUARTERBACK JOSEPH WILBUR WE'RE JUST COMBINED ON THE GAME WHEN YOU TOUCH THAT WE KEPT PLAYING OUR GAME AND KEPT PRESSING ON AND WE CAME OUT WITH THE LINK IF YOU COULD BIBLE THAT KIND OF ENTHUSIASM YOU COULD LIGHT THE WORLD IT HASN'T SUNK IN YET REALLY NO SIR NONE AT ALL LOG ON TO GPB SPORTS FACEBOOK PAGE AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE MOMENTS [MUSIC] START OF THE FOURTH QUARTER BUFORD LEADS GAINESVILLE 31 TO 7 IN A BATTLE OF NUMBER ONE RANKED TEAMS B FOR THE NUMBER ONE RANKED TEAM IN 3A GAINESVILLE THE NUMBER ONE RANKED TEAM IN 5A BOTH DEFENDING STATE CHAMPIONS BUT THE WOLVES ARE HAVING THEIR WAY AND THEY'RE THREATENING ONCE AGAIN HERE'S THE GIVE TO XAVIER HOXSEY OFF TACKLE TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND HE PLUNGES HIS WAY AHEAD TO THE 6 YARD LINE AND KEALAN A LOT OF THE STATS THAT WE'VE SEEN TONIGHT HAVEN'T REALLY TOLD THE STORY ABOUT THE GAME BUT THE ONE I'M ABOUT TO EXPLAIN CERTAINLY DOES RUSHING YARDS FOR THIS GAME GAINESVILLE 132 BUFORD 350 BAILEY THERE'S NO SURPRISE GOING INTO THIS GAME THAT THAT BEAUTIFUL WOULD BE ON THE TOP WHEN IT COMES TO RUSH AND CUZ THAT'S WHAT THEY DO BUT WHEN IT COMES TO GAINESVILLE THAT IS DEFINITELY A SHOCKER FOR ME BECAUSE THEY'VE SPENT A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME IN THE AIR YC IS DEFINITELY HE'S 18 FOR 33 TO NIGHT FOR 168 YARDS NOT TO AVERAGE GAME FOR HIM AVERAGE GAME FOR HIM CORRECT EXCUSE ME HE HAS A HUNDRED 105 YOU KNOW PASS FOR 168 RIGHT HUNDRED FOR HIM PERSONALLY BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER YOU KNOW THIS IS A TEAM SPORT AND THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH POINTS ON THE BOARD WELL THE STORY I THINK AFTER THE GAME IS OVER IN THE LOCKER ROOM AND MAYBE THIS WEEK FOR GAINESVILLE IS GONNA BE DROPPED PASSES AND YES WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCHEDULE THAT'S COMING UP FOR THE BUFORD WOLVES AS THEY PLAY A HANCOCK CENTRAL AND THEN BANKS COUNTY YOU KNOW WEST HALL WHITE COUNTY DAWSON COUNTY THERE'S A REASON WHY BUFORD WINS THIS REGION A LOT AND THAT'S NOT TO DISPARAGE THOSE TEAMS COMING UP BUT WE SEE WHAT BUFORD IS CAPABLE OF AND YOU KNOW WE LIKE TO GET TOGETHER KEALING AND TALK ABOUT WHAT OUR THOUGHTS ARE ON THE GAME THE NIGHT BEFORE THE GAME THEN YOU KNOW IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN WHAT BUFORD DOES BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ONE GUY AS A MATTER OF FACT THEY HAVE A HITTER BACK ROTATION YEAH WHICH IS ALMOST UNHEARD OF FOR A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBER TEAM BUT IT'S NOT BECAUSE THE TWO QUARTERBACKS ARE BOTH WE YOGHURTS BECAUSE THEY'RE BOTH REALLY GOOD BUT THEY'VE HAD SEVEN BALL CARRIERS TOUCH THE BALL SO FAR TONIGHT SO THEY DON'T HAVE THAT ONE STANDOUT GUY ALTHOUGH HERE IS JOSH THOMAS PLUNGING HIS WAY TOWARD THE GOAL LINE HE'S ALREADY GOT A 77 YARD TOUCHDOWN ON THE NIGHT THE OFFENSIVE LINE OF COURSE THINK IT'S A TOUCHDOWN WITH THE MARKET JUST A BIT SHORT BUT BACK TO MY POINT SEVEN DIFFERENT GUYS TOUCHED THE BALL 11 GUYS TOUCHED THE BALL AS BALL CARRIERS LAST WEEK SEVEN DIFFERENT RECEIVERS SIX GUYS SCORED TOUCHDOWNS SO THIS REALLY IS TRULY A TEAM EFFORT FOR THE WOLVES THAT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR 10 YEARS YEAH YOU SEE THEY'RE JUST WHAT THOMAS IS BLEEDING LIKE THEY'RE OUT OF DESIRE BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THERE TREY THESE GUYS HAVE A STABLE OF RUNNING BACKS TO HAVE STABLE QUARTERBACKS AND THEY DO MULTIPLE THINGS REALLY GOOD AND THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE THE RECORD THAT THEY HAVE WILSON OFF THE RIGHT SIDE AND THAT ONE IS A TOUCHDOWN AS WILSON PLUNGES ANGELA'S HE SCORED THE LAST TOUCHDOWN THIS ONE FOR ONE YARD AND BUFORD IS IN FIRM CONTROL OF THIS FOOTBALL GAME LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE SIDELINES THE STANCE AND THE GUYS OUT ON THE FIELD AND BACK TO YOUR PORT ONE THIS FOOTBALL GAME IS WHERE MOST TEAMS WIN THE FOOTBALL GAMES AND IT'S NOT SEXY AND IT'S NOT FANCY IT'S AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE CHEF AND THAT'S HOW THEY'VE WON THIS FOOTBALL GAME MOST GAMES ARE WORN IN THE TRENCHES MAN YOU KNOW THOSE MANY HEALTHY GUYS GRITTY GUYS THOSE GENTLEMEN DON'T GET ALL THE CREDIT IN THE WORLD BUT THEY ARE MOST IMPORTANT YOU KNOW THE MOST IMPORTANT

THEY DO FROM HERE ON OUT IS GOING TO BE TOO LITTLE TOO LATE THEY MIGHT ONLY SPACE OUT PLAYS BY 10 SECONDS BUT THEY'D HAVE TO RUN A PLAY ABOUT EVERY TWO OR THREE SECONDS AND THEY'D ALL HAVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN ORDER FOR THEM TO COME DOWN FROM THIS MARCH AND THERE'S LAKME CATCHING UP AS A NICE THROW BY WATSON AND HE'S STILL ON HIS FEET I BELIEVE HE STEPPED OUT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE 40 AND 45 AND HE DID AROUND THE 41 AND A HALF YARD LINE BUT IT'S A FIRST DOWN FOR GAINESVILLE NICE KITCHEN CATCH TO THE OUTSIDE THEY'RE ON A NICE LITTLE OUT THERE TO LACKEY ONE OF HIS FAVORITE TARGETS [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC] STANDS TALL IN THE POCKET BUT OVERTHROWS GOD LOCKE AND THE FLAG IS DOWN ON THE FAR SIDE AROUND THE 46 YARD LINE AND MAYBE A PASSENGER FERRIES THAT TRAY SEE WE TRIED TO GIVE HIM A DOUBLE MOON YEP RECEIVER GAVE HIM A DOUBLE MOVING AND THE LINEBACKER THERE JUST BUMPED HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS ROUTE MARK THE PENALTY OFF AGAINST BUFORD AND GAINESVILLE HASN'T HAD A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS GO RIGHT TONIGHT JUST THE ONE TOUCHDOWN EARLY IN THE GAME THAT CAME BEFORE HALF THAT WAS AN 8 YARD PASS FROM DESHAUN WATSON TO JAKE GOD LOCKE AND THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY BRIGHT SPOT OF THE NIGHT SO FAR ON THE FLIP SIDE BUFORD HAS HAD FOUR DIFFERENT GUYS SCORE TOUCHDOWNS INCLUDING THOMAS WILSON WHO JUST SCORED HIS SECOND AND THERE'S MICHAEL BIRD OUT OF THE BACKFIELD HE SEEMS TO BE THEIR GO-TO GUY HERE IN THE SECOND HALF AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY WEEK WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION KAILYN THIS IS A NUMBER ONE RANKED TEAM IN THE STATE GAINESVILLE THEY'RE THE NUMBER ONE RANKED TEAM AT THE FIVE A CLASSIFICATION BUFORD AT THE THREE A CLASSIFICATION WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT THEY CAN TAKE AWAY FROM THIS WIN SILVER LINING STUFF AND THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO WORK ON FIRST AND FOREMOST FOR GAINESVILLE THEY JUST REALLY NEED TO LEARN TO PLAY CONSISTENT GAMES BILL IS A GREAT SPECIMEN TO THE PASSING GAME TO THE SPREAD HAVE HAVE A GREAT LEADER HAVE A GOOD QUARTERBACK THAT CAN LEAD YOU BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THEIR RECEIVERS FROM LEARNING POINTS FROM THIS GAME I REALLY NEED TO LEARN TO CATCH WITH THEIR EYES AND NOT WHAT THE FIGHTERS ARE NOT WITH THEIR HANDS YOU HAVE TO CATCH WITH YOUR EYES BECAUSE YOU YOU CAN'T SEE THE BALL YOU CAN'T CATCH THE BALL MOST IMPORTANTLY PENALTIES FOR THEM TONIGHT IT HAS BEEN RED BAT FOR THEM ON THE FLAG FELL THOSE GUYS WITH THE STRIPES WITH A THORN FLAGS ON THEM ALL NIGHT BUFORD THEY THEY KNOW THAT POTENTIAL THIS IS A GOOD TEST BECAUSE THEIR PLAN AGAINST THAT PLAN AGAINST PEOPLE THEY'RE PLANNING TO GET TEAMS AT 586 SAFE WHICH IS REALLY GOOD AND THEY'RE OUT PLAYING THEM SO THAT'S THAT LETS YOU KNOW THE HEARTBEAT OF THEIR TEAM THIS IS A GREAT PLAY BY QUARTERBACK THE SOPHOMORE XAVIER DAN HAS BEEN PLAYING BOTH WAYS TONIGHT HE JUST SAVED THE TOUCHDOWN BY GETTING HIS BIG RIGHT PAW UP AND DEFLECTING THIS PASS INTO THE FOUR TABLE THEY ACTUALLY BEEN PLAYING MAN TO THE FIELD WHEN THEY COME OUT TO THIS DOUBLE-DOUBLE SET DATE YOU KNOW THEY'VE BEEN TRYING

PENALTY AND EVERY INCH BECAUSE IT MATTERS BUT THEY CAN COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU IT CAN AND I THINK IT'S ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO DO THAT WHEN YOU'VE GOT YOUNG GUYS ON THE FIELD THAT ARE MAYBE THE SECOND THIRD OR EVEN FOURTH STRING GUYS THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE COUNTING ON IN A COUPLE YEARS SOMETIMES THEY NEED TO BE CHEWED ON A LITTLE BIT BY THE COACH TO TRY TO GET THEIR BEST OUT OF THAT YES AS A BUFORD

IMPRESSIVE GAME FOR THE BUFORD WOLVES BOTH TEAMS WILL MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS REGION PLAY HASN'T EVEN BEGUN SO FAR AND WE'VE SEEN SOME OF THE BEST TEAMS IN THE STATE ALREADY THIS SEASON YOUR EARLY THOUGHTS ABOUT BUFORD MYRON MARLIN THOUGHTS ABOUT BUFORD A THEY CAN PLAY A COMPLETE FOOTBALL GAME DO THAT IS THAT IS RARE IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL THEY'RE DISCIPLINED THEY'RE WELL COACHED AND THEY HAVE DONE THEIR HOMEWORK YOU KNOW WHEN YOU SEE A COACH REALLY SPEND THE TIME THAT HE SPENDS ON THE OFF INSIDE THE BALL AS WELL AS THE DEEP INSIDE THE BALL AND YOU'RE PLAYING BOTH SIDES ARE YOU PLAYING MULTIPLE PLAYERS ON DEFENSE IN OFFICE THAT SAYS A LOT WHEN YOU CAN GO OUT AND BEAT THIS CONSISTENT AND FOR THE GAINESVILLE RED ELEPHANTS TALKED ABOUT THE ADJUSTMENTS THEY HAVE TO MAKE IN SOME OF THE BRIGHT SPOTS YOU SAW IN TONIGHT'S GAME OH ONE THING ABOUT GAME GAINESVILLE THEY THEY HAVE A FAST-PACED OFFENSE THE ONLY THING THAT THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY HURT THEM WAS DROP BALLS AND INCONSISTENCY YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TURNOVERS THEY DIDN'T REALLY CAPITALIZE ON THAT BUT THEY HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE IF THEY WANT TO GO BACK TO THE DOME THEY HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE DISCIPLINED ON THE OFFICE SIDE OF FALL AND ON THE DEFENSE SIDE OF BALL AND WRAPPING UP IN COMPLETING TACKLES LET'S HEAD DOWNSTAIRS TO JOHN NELSON WHO'S STANDING BY WITH JESS SIMPSON THE WINNING COACH
