IT IS COLD HERE.

WE HAVE TWO TEAMS THAT COME IN AT 10 AND WONDERS.

LOOKING AT AN EXPLOSIVE GAME WITH A LOT OF STARS ON THE FIELD.

>> Matt: IT IS COLD, INDEED.

NOT LIKE CLEVELAND BUT IT IS COLD TONIGHT.

IT IS GREAT FOOTBALL WEATHER.

LET'S START WITH BUFORD IN THE SECOND ROUND FOR THE 25th CONSECUTIVE YEAR.

THEY HAVE WON IN AN ACTIVE --IN A ROW.

LED BY DAYTON RAIOLA.

HE SIMPLY HAS GOTTEN BETTER AS THE SEASON HAS GONE ON.

>> Wayne: HE HAS SHOWN A LOT OF LEADERSHIP FOR THIS TEAM.

HIS ACCURACY HAS BEEN KEY FOR THEM LATE IN THE SEASON.

WE KNOW HE HAS ALL THE TOOLS IN THE TOOLBOX.

BIG ARM, ON THE EDGE, MOBILE, HE CAN RUN THE BALL.

TONIGHT WHAT HE WILL TRY TO DO IS GET THE DEEP SHOT DOWN THE FIELD TO HIS BIG PLAYER RECEIVER, JORDAN ALLEN.

>> Matt: THAT SETS UP THE RUN WHICH THEY DO ALLOW FOR 231 YARDS PER GAME ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE, BRYCE PERRY-WRIGHT, THE NUMBER THREE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN FOR THE CLASS OF 2026.

THIS YOUNG MAN OFF THE EDGE.

A DEVASTATING PASS RUSHER.

THEY WILL NEED THAT TONIGHT TRYING TO CHASE DOWN JAYCE JOHNSON.

>> Matt: 11 TFL ON THE SEASON AND SEVEN QUARTERBACK SACKS FOR THE LOUNGE TEAM BACK IN THE STATE PLAYOFFS AFTER MISSING OUT LAST YEAR.

WHAT A TURNAROUND BY ADAM CARTER.

NIKI NOTO PALMER WILL HAVE MORE ON THAT IN A FEW MINUTES.

THE SOPHOMORE, JAYCE JOHNSON, 10 OFFERS AND MARVIS PARRISH, THEY MOVE HIM ALL AROUND AND GET HIM THE BALL IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

HE FLIPPED HIS COMMITMENT FROM NAVY TO WESTERN KENTUCKY IN THE LAST 24 HOURS.

>> Wayne: A TRUE DYNAMIC DUO.

YOU LOOK AT PARRISH AND JAYCE JOHNSON.

6'4".

A BIG ARM TRYING TO GET IT TO PARRISH WHO PLAYS EVERYTHING THAT HE THROWS TOUCHDOWNS, CARRIES THEM, RUNS THEM, AND INTERCEPTS.

THIS DYNAMIC DUO IS THERE OFFENSE.

>> Matt: JAYCE JOHNSON, HE WILL BE A BIG-TIME QUARTERBACK IN THE NEXT THREE SEASON.

THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL, LORENZO MUNETON WAS A BACKUP LAST YEAR.

HE STEPPED UP AND SAVED THEM THIS YEAR.

50 SOLO TACKLES.

AFTER THE START LINEBACKER, WILLIS, DECIDED TO GIVE UP FOOTBALL TO CONCENTRATE ON BASEBALL.

>> Wayne: IT WAS HARD TO FIND HIM ON THE DEPTH CHART LAST OF IT PHYSICAL ON THE INSIDE, CAN COVER ON THE INSIDE.

HE IS THE KEY AND THEY WILL HAVE TO TRY TO STOP HIS RUN GAME.

HE WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE THAT TONIGHT.

>> Matt: THE DEFENSIVE START OF THE GAME IN THE LOWNDES CLASSIC VICTORY OVER VALDOSTA A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

LET'S SEND THIS TO NIKI NOTO PALMER.

>> LOWNDES HAS HAD INCONSISTENCY.

THE CAROUSEL OF COACHES EVER SINCE McPHERSON LEFT.

HERE COMES HEAD COACH, ADAM CARTER.

WHAT HE BROUGHT TO THE PROGRAM WAS HIS RESUME AND STABILITY.

TWO THINGS THAT THE PLAYERS REALLY NEEDED.

LAST YEAR HE WENT 4 AND 60s.

HE KNEW THAT THEY NEEDED TO PUT THEIR NOSE DOWN AND GET TO WORK.

THAT BEGAN WAS SHOWING UP FOR THEM CONSISTENCY WISE AND EARNING THEIR TRUST COACH CARTER HAS DONE THAT AND MORE.

LIKE YOU SAID, THEY ARE 10 AND WONDERS.

THEY ARE BATTLING A HEAVYWEIGHT WITH BUFORD.

ONE OF THESE TEAMS WILL ADVANCE TO THE THIRD ROUND OF THE STATE PLAYOFFS.

THE COACH LAUGHED TOO AND ALLUDED TO THAT HE THINKS THEY BOUGHT IN -- HE GOT A LITTLE SOFFIT HE TURNED 40 AND HIS LITTLE GUY TURNED FIVE.

ON THE PERSONAL SIDE I HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE SOFT BUT I TAKE IT UP A NOTCH AT PRACTICE.

THEY STILL KNOW I'VE GOT IT.

TONIGHT WE WILL SEE WITH THE VIKINGS HAVE AND WHAT BUFORD HAS.

ONE OF THE TEAMS ARE GOING ON TO THE THIRD ROUND OF THE STATE PLAYOFFS.

>> Matt: THE RULE IS WHERE THE BALL IS CALLED.

IF IT IS CALLED OUTSIDE, IT IS STILL -- NOW YOU GET THE SHORT RETURN.

YOU GET THE PENALTY ON TOP OF THAT.

LOWNDES DEALING WITH POOR FIELD POSITION FOR THE SECOND POSSESSION.

THE BALL IS BACK AT THE EIGHT.

>> Wayne: TOUGH SLEDDING EARLY FOR LOWNDES.

YOU HAVE TO STICK WITH THEIR GAME PLAN.

YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO RUN THE BALL, ESTABLISH THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

THAT IS KEY FOR THE OFFENSE TO WORK.

YOU HAVE TO GET THE RUN GAME TO SET UP THE PLAY ACTION.

>> Matt: FIRST AND 10 FROM THE EIGHT.

THE TOSS WILL GO TO BROWN.

STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS.

PICKED UP ABOUT FOUR ON THE PLAY.

THE SECOND ONE ON THE PLUS SIDE OF THE 50.

THAT WAS THE 28.

>> Wayne: HIS DEFENSE GOES ON THE FIELD.

TWO DRIVES GIVES HIS OFFENSE THE SHORT FIELD TO START THIS GAME.

TO BUILD MOMENTUM EARLY ON.

YOU CAN ALREADY SEE LOWNDES AND THE DEFENSE HAS THE WEIGHT OF THE GAME EARLY.

>> Matt: FIRST AND 10 FOR BUFORD.

ALL AT THE 42.

NUMBER 32, QUARTERBACK IN THE COUNTRY FOR 2026.

THE HANDOFF GOES TO TIE GREEN.

ONE OF THE FOUR IN THE STAPLE OF RUNNING BACKS.

>> Wayne: AT BUFORD, REGARDLESS WHO IS STANDING IN THE BACKFIELD, THEY ARE DANGEROUS TALENTED THEY ARE DANGEROUS TALENTED PLAYER.

BOUNCING OFF THE INITIAL CONTACT.

LUNGES FORWARD CLOSE TO A FIRST DOWN.

THIRD-DOWN ANSWER.

NOWHERE TO GO ON THIS.

YOU CAN SEE HIM GRABBING HIS LEGS.

LETTING HIS TEAMMATES, PARRISH, AND WRIGHT, FINISH THE PLAY BUT A LITTLE UNDERSIZED BUT GREAT AT HOLDING THE PLAY AGAINST THE RUN.

>> Matt: THEY BRING NICO MAGGIO TO BLOCK IN THE POWER SET.

FOURTH-DOWN AND ONE FOR THE WOLVES.

THIS IS THE EXACT SITUATION THEY SCORED THE TOUCHDOWN ON IN THE PREVIOUS CHART THAT THEY WILL THROW OUT A FOURTH AND ONE AND GO FOR THE HOME RUN.

MR. AJ HOLLOWAY, THE LINEBACKER, WENT DEEP ON THE PLAY.

DAYTON RAIOLA MISSED.

>> Wayne: SLIPPING OUT LATE HERE.

ONE OF THE BIG-PLAY GUYS OUT ON THE EDGE.

LOOK FOR HIM TO TRY TO GET THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD AS THE GAME GOES ON.

>> Matt: JAYCE JOHNSON STARTED THIS GAME.

4 FOR 4, PASSING.

AFTER SEEING HIM DOWN ON THE FIELD PRIOR TO THE GAME, I AM CONVINCED HE WILL BE A BIG-TIME QUARTERBACK IN THIS STATE IN HIS JUNIOR AND SENIOR SEASONS.

OR TO GETTING THERE IN HIS SOPHOMORE SEASON.

MAKING CHASE BY BRYCE PERRY-WRIGHT.

THROWS OFF HIS BACK FOOT.

OUT OF BOUNDS.

BRYCE PERRY-WRIGHT HAS BEEN VERY ACTIVE THE FIRST QUARTER.

BURNING A TIMEOUT WITH 59 SECONDS LEFT OF THE FIRST HALF.

LOWNDES, ONLY ONE LOSS THIS SEASON.

COACH CARTER SAYS HE FELT IT AFFECTED THEM.

THE ONLY LOSS BY A LAST-MINUTE FIELD GOAL.

THEY ARE CLOSE TO BEING 11-0 ON THE SEASON.

HE FINISHED 4-1 IN REGION ONE.

GET THE TWO SEAT BECAUSE OF THE LOSS TO COLQUITT.

GIVING UP ONLY 13 POINTS PER GAME.

>> Wayne: WHAT A TURNAROUND FROM LAST YEAR.

COACH CARTER IN HIS SECOND YEAR.

CONSISTENCY HAS BEEN THE KEY FOR THIS BIG TURNAROUND FOR THEM.

BASICALLY FLIPPED A WHOLE SEASON AND BECAME A DOMINANT TEAM.

SO CLOSE TO A PERFECT SEASON FROM LAST YEAR.

>> TO ADD ON, HE ALSO SAID THE BIGGEST THING THAT YOU DO, EVERY DAY WITH HIM AT SCHOOL.

IN HIS SEAT AND OTHER HEAD COACHES SEE, YOU WILL GET PULLED INTO DIFFERENT PLACES.

I HAVE GOT THEM THE WHOLE DAY.

COACH CARTER DECIDES TO PLAY THE FIELD POSITION GAME.

NOT A BAD DECISION TO MAKE .

>> Wayne: SMART DECISION THERE BY COACH CARTER.

FOURTH AND TWO.

CALLING THE TIMEOUT.

CHANGING HIS MIND.

A DANGEROUS DOWN TO GIVE BUFORD THE BALL BACK.

LET THEM RECAPTURE THE MOMENTUM.

YOU GET A GOOD PUNT.

NOW THEY HAVE TO START INSIDE THEIR 10.

NOW YOU PLAY LITTLE PHIL POSITION AND LET YOUR DEFENSE SO TO GET INTO A GROOVE.

>> Matt: NIKI, FINAL THOUGHT?

>> HE SAID THE GUYS LET THEIR GUARD DOWN AND IT CAME WITH DOING SENIOR DINNER THINGS.

THEY WOULD GET PIZZA AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES.

DURING THE STORM A BUNCH OF THEM STAYED AT COACH CARTER'S HOUSE.

FROM DAYTON RAIOLA.

>> Wayne: GREAT JOB HERE .

PLAY ACTION FAKE WITH A QUICK STRIKE.

THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN ON THIS BUFORD TEAM.

YOU CAN SEE THE COMFORTABLE STRIDE THERE OF ALLEN.

VERY COMFORTABLE IN A FOOT RACE HIT A BIG PLAY FOR THIS OFFENSE.

THAT IS THE THING THAT THEY FEED OFF OF.

THE PLAY ACTION FAKE.

THEIR ABILITY TO RUN THE BALL, THAT'S WHAT IT SETS UP.

BIG PLACE.

>> Matt: NIKI NOTO PALMER AND MATT STEWART AND WAYNE GANDY WITH YOU.

THE KICKOFF COMING DOWN AT THE FOUR.

RETURNABLE FROM THERE.

THE SIDELINE, PARRISH, ON THE RETURN TO THE 24.

THE VIKINGS GOING OFFENSE FOR THE THIRD TIME TODAY.

LOOKING TO GET SOMETHING STARTED HERE.

THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE BALL INSIDE THE 50.

THEY HAD TO PUNT IT AWAY.

>> Wayne: BRYCE PERRY-WRIGHT AND THE DEFENSIVE FRONT CAN TRY TO STAY OUT OF THE THIRD AND LONG SITUATIONS.

THE ADVANTAGE GOES TO BUFORD IN THOSE SITUATIONS.

THEY CAN STAY PATIENT, CONTINUE TO TRY TO ESTABLISH THE RUN TO GET THE PLAY ACTION AND GET THE BIG PLAY DOWN THE FIELD.

>> Matt: YOU SAW THE NUMBERS FOR JOHNSON THIS SEASON.

HE IS GOING TO TOSS THE BALL TO BROWN.

COMING TO THE NEARSIDE.

RON, TILL THE 33.

NICE RUN BY BROWN.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB OF BLOCKING .

NICE JOB.

>> Matt: NOW MARVIS PARRISH IS THERE.

HE GOT HIT IN THE MIDDLE BY MAGGIO.

MIGHT'VE LOST A YARD ON THE PLAY?

>> Matt: WORKING OFF THE BLOCK.

MAGGIO LOOKED LIKE A BLOCKER.

VERY ATHLETIC.

A TREMENDOUS SEASON FOR BUFORD.

>> Matt: FOUR TFL'S AND A QUARTERBACK SACK FOR THE BUFORD DEFENSE IN THE FIRST 13 PLUS MINUTES OF THE GAME.

WE KNEW THAT THE LOWNDES OFFENSIVE LINEMAN WOULD HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL WITH THE FRONT SEVEN.

THE BALL GOES TO PARRISH AGAIN.

DOES NOT GET THE FIRST DOWN.

>> Wayne: ONCE AGAIN, AJ HOLLOWAY.

THE DEFENSIVE FRONT SEVEN, CAME OUT WITH A COMMITMENT TO STOP THE RUN.

THEY ARE DOING IN A BEAUTIFUL WAY.

PLAYING ON THE OTHER SIDE.

NO CALLS THERE BY ADAM CARTER.

THINKING ABOUT GOING FORWARD ON FOURTH AND SHORT AND YOU CAN SEE BUFORD KEEPING THE DEFENSE OUT ON THE FIELD.

>> Matt: ANDREWS GETS IT OUT OF THERE.

IT IS GOING TO TAKE A LOWNDES BOUNCE , FINALLY ROLLED IT AT THE 28.

39th PICK BY ANDREWS.

39 YARD KICK BY ANDREWS.

HE HAS HAD A ROUGH NIGHT ALREADY.

A SHANK AND NEAR DISASTER.

>> Wayne: TRYING TO ROLL OUT BEFORE HE CAUGHT THE BALL.

A BIG RAKE FOR LOWNDES.

HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE BALL AND GET IT OFF.

NOW WHERE DOES THE DEFENSE GO?

WE HAVE SEEN HIM NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE RUN EARLY ON WITH BAKER.

WE SAW JORDAN WITH THE BIG PLAY.

THE HAVE TO SETTLE DOWN.

IN EXPLOSIVE OFFENSE.

IT STARTS WITH THE RUN.

ANOTHER CHANGE AT RUNNING BACK.

NOW DYLAN McCOY IS IN AT THE TAILBACK POSITION.

>> Matt: FOUR POSITIONS, FOUR DIFFERENT RUNNING BACKS.

THE DEEPEST BUFORD HAS EVER HAD.

THEY HAD A LOT OF DEEP ONES.

McCOY GETS THE HAND OFF.

HE WILL LUNGE FORWARD TO PICK UP A COUPLE YARDS.

LET'S LOOK AT THE REGIONS BANK STARTING LINEUP FROM BUFORD OFFENSE.

HOUSTON IS THE BIG JUNIOR WHO HAS A LOT OF OFFERS.

BURTON CLARK, MAGER, NIXON, BUT HE HAS BLOWN UP WITH 15 OFFERS.

YOU HAVE THE BACKS , WIDE RECEIVERS, AND TITAN.

VICTOR PLAYING THE FIRST.

AS WE POINTED OUT, FOUR DIFFERENT BACKS WITH EACH NEW POSSESSION.

>> Wayne: GREAT JOB BY RAIOLA.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ASSERTING TAILBACK SCORE ON A BIG TOUCHDOWN AND HAS NOT BEEN IN THE GAME SINCE.

AN OFFER BY REINHARDT.

THIRD DOWN AND EIGHT.

THE HANDOFF.

IRVINE.

UP TO THE 49.

THAT WILL BRING UP ABOUT FOUR AND A SHORT THREE OR A LONG TWO.

LET'S SEE WHAT THEY DO?

LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL PUNT.

>> Wayne: RUN THE BALL IN THAT SITUATION.

FOURTH AND ONE, YOU IMAGINE THEY WOULD'VE WENT FOR.

THEY DECIDED TO PUNT THE BALL.

>> Matt: I BELIEVE THAT WILL BE KYLE CARPENTER TAKING THE PUNT.

IT IS.

THE SHORT KICK WILL HIT UP A 24.

BOUNCING BACKWARDS AND COVERED BY BUFORD AT ABOUT THE 27.

6:39, TO PLAY.

6:39, THE PLAY OF THE SECOND QUARTER.

COACH APPLING.

HIS SIX SEASON.

THREE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

HIS 21st SEASON WITH THE COACHING STAFF.

LONGTIME ASSISTANT BEFORE HE FINALLY GOT A SHOT TO BE THE HEAD COACH.

HE'S GLAD THEY GIVE HIM THE SHEPHERD PLAYED HIGH SCHOOL BALL.

YOU GAVE HIM A GREAT COMPLEMENT WHEN WE TALKED TO HIM THIS WEEK.

WE TOLD HIM THAT YOU THOUGHT HIS PROGRAM REMINDED YOU OF THE PROGRAM YOU PLAY FOR WITH THE STEELERS.

>> Wayne: THESE GUYS ARE WILLING TO COME HERE AND PLAY HARD.

STAY ENGAGED.

PUT THEIR EGOS TO THE SIDE.

THE FOCUS MORE ON WINNING THAN STATS.

AS WE TALKED ABOUT WITH GUYS LIKE JUSTIN BAKER, WHO CAN EASILY BE IN A GAME AND RUNNING THE BALL 30 TIMES -- BIG PLAY HERE.

JOHNSON, DOWN THE FIELD TO HIS BIG PLAYER, CARTER.

TO BE WILLING TO ROTATE IS A TREMENDOUS JOB BY THE COACH.

>> Matt: 38 YARD COMPLETION.

JOHNSON COMPLETES TO CARTER.

JOHNSON IS A DIG FOR A DIG, PASSING.

CARTER HAS HAD AT LEAST FOUR OF THE CATCHES, MAYBE FIVE?

FIRST AND 10.

JOHNSON WILL THROW THE BALL.

AIDAN WILL PICK UP EIGHT ON THE PLAY.

>> Wayne: GOOD-LOOKING YOUNG MAN.

6'5".

210 POUNDS.

LONG.

EVERYBODY IS LOOKING AT A HYBRID TIGHT END/RECEIVER.

YOU CAN SEE THE OFFENSE TO OPEN A. CARTER OPENED IT UP.

THE BALL DOWN.

>> Matt: ABLE TO RUN THE BALL.

JOHNSON HAS HAD THE HOT HAND.

HE HAS BEEN IMPRESSIVE TO START THIS GAME.

JUST 15 YEARS OLD.

GOING TO RUN IT HIMSELF.

PICKING UP THE FIRST DOWN.

JAYCE JOHNSON, DOWN TO THE 20.

I LOVE WHAT I SEE FROM THIS YOUNG MAN.

>> Wayne: GREAT JOB BY THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

THE PUSH THEY GOT ON THE LEFT SIDE IS TREMENDOUS.

BROWN, LEADING HIS QUARTERBACK.

THAT IS WHAT MAKES THE DUO OF PARRISH AND JOHNSON, EITHER ONE HAVING THE ABILITY TO RUN THE BALL .

THE ATHLETICISM ON DISPLAY BY JUNTA.

>> Matt: FIRST AND 10.

BALL AT THE 23rd 10 OFFERS INCLUDING TENNESSEE, MISSISSIPPI STATE AND FLORIDA STATE BUT YOU CAN SEE THE TEAMS ARE ALREADY LINING UP.

JOHNSON, GOING TO FIRE.

OFF THE HANDS OF HIS INTENDED TARGET.

NEARLY INTERCEPTED BY POPE ABOUT 15 OR 20 YARDS OUT.

>> Wayne: CARTER, AND SIDE.

LEAVING HIM A LITTLE FASTBALL.

THE GRAB BY CARTER.

THIS YOUNG MAN, WE WERE IMPRESSED WITH HIS HEIGHT.

HE IS TALL AND GOOD-LOOKING WITH A BIG ARM.

HAS TO PUT A LITTLE MORE TOUCH ON THAT PASS INSIDE.

>> Matt: THE PLAY OF THE DRIVE COMING UP.

RUNNING IN REVERSE TO PARRISH.

HE MIGHT THROW IT.

HE WILL THROW IT FINALLY.

CAUGHT BY AIDAN SEFA.

HE WILL BE IN BOUNCE.

AIDAN SEFA TOOK A BIG SHOT AND GET HIS FEET ON THE 14.

>> Wayne: THE REVERSE PASS BY PARRISH BUT YOU CAN SEE JAYCE JOHNSON TRYING TO STEP OUT.

AIDAN SEFA CAME IN, ON THE EDGE.

STAYING IN BOUNCE.

HE HITS.

RIGHT THERE HE IS NOT IN BOUNCE ON THAT PLAY.

THAT HIT KNOCKED HIM OUT OF BOUNDS.

JAX POPE MAKING A NICE PLAY.

THIRD AND THREE.

>> Matt: THE ALFA INSURANCE RED ZONE.

THE SNAP GOES TO PARRISH.

A RUGBY SCRUM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.

IT PUSHES DOWN TO THE 11.

FOURTH DOWN AND ONE.

>> Wayne: THEY WILL KEEP THE OFFENSE ON THE FIELD.

THEIR ABILITY WITH PARRISH AND JOHNSON AROUND THE BALL, YOU CAN PLAY ON 11 IN THESE SITUATIONS.

>> Matt: DIRECT SNAP TO PARRISH.

HE GETS THE FIRST DOWN.

TO THE NINE.

FOURTH DOWN IN ONE.

THEY CONVERT.

WILL BE FIRST AND GOAL, TO GO, VIKINGS.

>> Wayne: NICE JOB BY PARRISH SPEEDING UP.

GETTING UP INTO THE OFFENSIVE LINE BEFORE THE ENDS COME OFF THE CORNER TO GRAB HIM.

A HUGE FIRST DOWN HERE.

TO SET UP THE FIRST ANGLE.

>> Matt: NIKI TEXTED ME AT 8:00 THIS MORNING TO TELL ME THAT MARV IS FLIPPED FROM NAVY TO WESTERN KENTUCKY.

COACH CARTER SAID THEY TALKED ABOUT IT LAST NIGHT WHEN THEY WERE CAMPING IN ATHENS.

THEY MADE THE TRIP TO THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.

THEY HAD THEIR WALK-THROUGH AT GEORGIA.

YESTERDAY.

THEY LIFTED WEIGHTS AT CLARK CENTRAL TODAY.

A TIMEOUT CALLED BY BUFORD.

WE WILL STEP ASIDE AS THE VIKINGS ARE TRYING TO CLAW THEIR WAY INTO THIS GAME.

DOWN TWO SCORES WITH FOUR MINUTES TO PLAY IN THE HALF.

> >> THE SECOND QUARTER OF LOWNDES VERSUS BUFORD.

COMING UP IN A FEW MINUTES ON THE REGIONS HALFTIME SHOW, WE WILL BREAK LIVE SCORES TO YOU FROM ALL ACROSS THE STATE.

THE SECOND ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS.

WHO WILL ADVANCE AND WHO WILL NOT?

WE ALSO HAVE THE MAKE THAT KID AND OFFER SEGMENT PLAYER SPOTLIGHTS AND MUCH MORE.

WE WILL SEE YOU IN A FEW MINUTES.

>> Matt: COMING OUT OF THE TIMEOUT, FIRST AND GOAL, TO GO FOR THE VIKINGS.

AT THE NINE.

THIS DRIVE STARTED WITH THE BIG 38 YARD PASS FROM JAYCE JOHNSON ANN CARTER.

>> Wayne: DECIDED TO GET THE BALL DOWNFIELD TO OPEN UP THE OFFENSE OR THE RUN GAME WAS STAGNATED.

WE HAVE SEEN SINCE THAT BIG PLAY, THE RUN GAME HAS OPENED UP A LITTLE BIT.

>> Matt: JAYCE JOHNSON, AT QUARTERBACK.

>> Wayne: TOO MANY MEN ON THE FIELD FOR BUFORD.

THE COACH GOT THE TIMEOUT CALLED BEFORE THE BALL WAS SNAPPED.

WE DID LATE TO CHANGE PERSONNEL.

HE WAS WAITING TO SEE THE SET THAT LOWNDES WAS SETTING IN.

COULD NOT GET THE DEFENSIVE PLAYERS OFF THE FIELD.

>> Matt: ANOTHER TIMEOUT CALLED BY BUFORD TO AVOID THE PENALTY.

THE SCORE HEREBY LOWNDES WOULD BE HUGE FOR THEM.

GETTING THEM BACK INTO THE GAME.

THE GAME IN WHICH UP UNTIL THIS DRIVE THEY HAVE BEEN DOMINATING.

>> Wayne: YOU FEEL THAT EVEN THOUGH IT IS 14-0 AND THE FIRST HALF, COACH CARTER IS IN THE FOURTH DOWN MENTALITY.

AGAINST THIS DEFENSE, WHENEVER YOU HAVE A CHANCE, YOU HAVE TO GO FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

YOU CAN'T COME INTO A BIG GAME IN THE PLAYOFFS ON THE ROAD AGAINST THIS TEAM AND THINK FIELD GOALS GIVES YOU A CHANCE.

>> Matt: ADAM CARTER, AS NIKI TOLD YOU.

HE TURNED 40 IN SEPTEMBER.

I CONSIDER HIM ONE OF THE GREAT YOUNG COACHES IN GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

75 AND 23 .

28 TEANECK CREEK VIEW.

LED THE GRIZZLIES TO THE QUARTERFINALS.

WENT 12 AND WHAT IS.

GOT THE JOB WITH GRAYSON.

45 AND 19.

IN THE 2020 STATE TITLE.

ONE OF THE GREAT TALENTED TEAMS.

LOWNDES AT THE SECOND SEASON.

TRYING TO CUT BACK AND SIDE.

SLIP DOWN TO THE -- >> Wayne: WALKER, STEPPING UP AND MAKING THAT PLAY.

GOING BACK TO THE INSIDE.

A LOT OF GREEN GRASS FROM THE OUTSIDE.

HIS ABILITY TO KEEP THE OUTSIDE LEVERAGE FORCED THE PLAYBACK INTO THE INSIDE.

>> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND GOAL FROM THE SIX.

>> Wayne: ONE THING THAT JAYCE JOHNSON AND PARRISH HAVE, THEY CAN BOTH BE ON THE FIELD AT THE SAME TIME.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THIS DEFENSE HAS TO KEEP AN EYE ON.

BOTH ARE CAPABLE OF MAKING PLAYS AS RECEIVERS.

>> Matt: JOHNSON LINES UP AS A WIDE RECEIVER.

PENETRATION BY BRYCE PERRY-WRIGHT.

PARRISH WAS ABLE TO DIVE FORWARD AND GET HAPPIER.

NOW IT'S THIRD-DOWN ANGLE.

>> Wayne: OFF THE EDGE RIGHT THERE.

THE HIT RIGHT THERE BY BRYCE PERRY-WRIGHT.

THAT SHOWS YOU THE STRENGTH THAT THE YOUNG MAN HAS.

>> Matt: SOMETIMES GUYS ARE RATED HIGH LIKE THE NUMBER THREE THIS AND THAT.

HE ALWAYS BRINGS THE AND LIVES UP TO IT.

PARRISH, UP THE MIDDLE.

HE GOT INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE VIKINGS TOUCHDOWN.

SIX YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN.

>> Wayne: WHAT A SEASON THIS YOUNG MAN HAS HAD.

QUARTERBACK DRAW.

DECIDING TO GO BACK TO THE BACKSIDE.

TAKING HITS AND POWERING HIS WAY INTO THE END ZONE.

CAME INTO THE GAME WITH 20 RUSH TOUCHDOWNS.

PUTTING NUMBER 21 ON THE BOARD.

>> Matt: ANDREWS, THE PAT.

LOWNDES HAS FOUGHT THEIR WAY BACK INTO THIS GAME.

14-7.

>> Wayne: GOING WITH THE COUNTER TO THE LEVERETT CUTTING IT BACK AGAINST THE GRAIN RIGHT THERE.

PARRISH.

SHOWING YOU PHYSICALITY AND ABILITY TO RUN BEHIND HIS PAST.

WESTERN KRISKE -- KENTUCKY .

>> IS GOING TO WESTERN KENTUCKY AS A RUNNING BACK.

HE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF QUARTERBACK IN HIM.

THE COACH SAID HE IS SMART AND CAN HANDLE A LOT OF INFORMATION.

THAT IS THE KEY TO DO ALL OF THAT.

HE SAID HE IS TOUGH.

A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AT VALDOSTA, HE HAD TO GET STITCHES AT HALFTIME FOR THE COACH SAID THAT HE WAS RETURNING THE KICK OFF.

HE HAD STITCHES ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF HIS NOSE AND HE WAS OUT THERE COMPETING.

HE WANTS TO GO OUT TO COMPETE.

MOST KIDS WOULD'VE SHUT IT DOWN THERE.

HE TOLD THE COACH IT IS VALDOSTA AND HAS TO BE OUT THERE.

A SOPHOMORE QUARTERBACK OUT THERE WHEN HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN.

NOW THE SENIOR CORE REGION PLAYER OF THE YEAR.

TREMENDOUS YOUNG MAN AND RUNNING BACK.

>> Matt: HE HAS BEEN MARVELOUS.

THE BALL IS COMING DOWN AT THE 17.

THE RETURN UP TO THE 37.

YOU FOR IT HAS SOMETHING TO WORK WITH HERE.

THAT WAS BAKER ON THE RETURN.

NICEVILLE POSITION WITH 2:30, LEFT OF THE HALF.

>> Wayne: GETTING BAKER BACK IN THE GAME.

THE RETURN GAME.

LET'S SEE WHAT BUFORD ANSWERED IN THIS GAME?

A LOT OF MOMENTUM THE FIRST COUPLE OF MINUTES.

NOW IT SEEMS TO BE SHIFTING OVER TO LOWNDES.

>> Matt: THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE COACH TOLD US ABOUT HIS RUNNING BACKS.

THEY ALL HAVE A ROLE ON SPECIAL TEAMS AND OR DEFENSE.

>> Wayne: THEY ARE ALL VERSATILE.

THEY CAN MAKE PLAYS.

THE SECONDARY POSITIONS.

THEY ARE TREMENDOUS RUNNING BACKS.

SO UNSELFISH TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THE WAY THEY HAVE.

>> Matt: TIEBREAK GREEN GETS THE HAND OFF AND BASH US IS ALIGNED.

GET 10 YARDS UP TO THE 47.

>> Wayne: ONE OF THE TOP ATHLETES IN THE COUNTRY.

GREEN.

195.

A JUNIOR.

THE ABILITY TO MAKE COMMITS AND SHOWING THE POWER THERE.

INITIALLY THE RUN TO PICK UP A FIRST DOWN.

>> Matt: BOOGIE GREEN, AS HE LIKES THE CONCEPT.

BALL AT THE 47.

FOUR AREAS.

19 YARD , SO FAR.

LOBBING UP TOP.

IT IS CAUGHT BY GREEN.

THE THING WAS ALMOST INTERCEPTED.

GREEN WAS ABLE TO GET UP.

>> Wayne: MALIK REDDICK, FALLING BACK.

FALLING INTO THE SCREEN.

GETS A LITTLE TOUCH ON HIM.

HE BUYS ENOUGH TIME BY CHIPPING THAT BALL FOR HIS DEFENSE TO RALLY TO THE BALL.

>> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND A.

THE BALL IS AT THE 49.

CLEAN POCKET FOR RAIOLA.

IT IS CALLED AT THE 29.

THAT IS SAM, HE'S BEEN OFFERED BY --CAME UP WITH A 22 YARD RECEPTION.

>> Wayne: THE PLAY TOOK A LITTLE TIME BUT NICE JOB FINDING HIM IN THE SEAM.

>> Matt: THE HANDOFF GOES TO BAKER.

HE SCORES ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN.

29 YARDS.

SECOND TOUCHDOWN RUN OF THE HEIFER JUSTIN BAKER.

20-7.

>> Wayne: JUSTIN BAKER, TELLING US --I KNOW THAT YOU MISSED ME ON THE FIELD.

LOOK AT THE BALANCE.

LOOK AT THE STRENGTH THERE TO GET OUT OF THE TACKLE.

HE GOT ANOTHER BIG TOUCHDOWN HERE FOR HIS TEAM.

JUSTIN BAKER.

THE FOUR STAR TENNESSEE COMMIT.

FOUR >> Matt: IVAN MALONEY, FOR THE PAT.

HIS NAP IS DAWSON.

21-7.

AS SOON AS LOWNDES SCORED THE FIRST OPTION, YOU FORGETS IT BACK ON THE 29th TOUCHDOWN RUN BY BAKER.

>> Wayne: A GREAT CUTBACK.

GREAT VISION.

DOWNHILL WITH SPEED.

GREAT POWER THERE TO SHOW YOU THE BALANCE .

GUYS PULLING AT HIS LEGS.

RUNNING THROUGH THE TACKLES TO GET ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN ON THE NIGHT.

>> Matt: JUSTIN BAKER, THE TOUCHDOWN MAKER.

ANY OTHER SCHOOL HE WOULD GET 35 CARRIES A NIGHT.

THAT IS THE TRADE-OFF.

COME HERE AND HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS OR GO TO ANOTHER PROGRAM AND GET 35 CARRIES AND GET KNOCKED OUT EARLY.

>> Wayne: THAT'S WHY THE 10th SEASON , 26th STREET SEASONS WITH 10 WINS.

THAT IS WHY THE COMMITMENT OF THE YOUNG PLAYERS TO COME HERE AND PUT THEIR EGOS ASIDE AND BE ABLE TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO CARRY 35 TIMES, YOU MIGHT GET A GAME WITH ONLY 12 CARRIES AND HAVE TO FLIP OVER TO PLAY SAFETY OR LINEBACKER TO BE IN THE REST OF THE GAME.

>> Matt: LIKE THE COACH SAID ABOUT HIS RUNNING BACKS, SHARE THE WEALTH.

THAT IS THE MODEL OF THAT RUNNING BACK.

RETURNABLE FROM THE 12.

PARRISH.

THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE HIM THERE ON PRETTY MUCH EVERY PLAY.

RETURNS THE BALL TO THE 30, TO HAVE A SHOT.

PARRISH HAS BEEN FUN TO WATCH.

ON THE LAST DRIVE, HE HAD SIX TOUCHES , FIVE RUSHING, ONE PASS.

>> Wayne: HE HAS A TREMENDOUS SEASON.

AS NIKI SAID, PLAYER OF THE YEAR IN REGION ONE.

IT IS SO DANGEROUS NO MATTER WHERE YOU PUT HIM.

QUARTERBACK OR RUNNING BACK.

ON THE EDGE FOR THE DEPOT.

>> Matt: JAYCE JOHNSON, HEAVY RUSH.

GETS RID OF THE BALL.

DUMB SYDNEY BROWN.

BROWN, THE FIRST DOWN.

OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 48.

JAYCE JOHNSON SHOWED A LOT OF STRENGTH.

>> Wayne: HE KEPT HIS HEAD UP .

HE FOUND BROWN.

HE WAS FLOATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.

GETTING AWAY FROM THE PLEASURE.

ENOUGH STRENGTH TO KIND OF FLIP IT OUT .

NICE JOB BY BROWN TO GO DOWN TO THE TURF TO GET IT.

>> Matt: INTERCEPTED AT THE 50.

OR DID HE HOLD ONTO?

THEY DODGED A BULLET.

HE NEARLY HAD THE INTERSESSION.

>> Wayne: BIG SENIOR YEAR.

VARIOUS NAVY.

HE HAD SEEN THE STOPPER OUT EARLY.

TRYING TO GET THE BALL TO CARTER.

NICE JOB BREAKING ON THE BALL.

MISSING ON THE INTERCEPTION.

>> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND 10.

JOHNSON, 10 OF 12.

IT'S BEEN A GOOD FIRST HALF.

HE HAS THROWN ONLY TWO THE ENTIRE SEASON.

THAT'S AN EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER FOR THE SOPHOMORE.

>> Wayne: SO GOOD WITH THE BALL.

UNLEASHING PARRISH TO MOVE AROUND THE FIELD.

THE KEY QUARTERBACK COMING INTO THE SEASON.

THIS YOUNG SOPHOMORE, HIS ABILITY TO GET THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD ALLOWED COACH CARTER TO MOVE PARRISH WHEREVER HE WANTS YOU TO BE A BIGGER WEAPON.

>> Matt: OPENED UP THE ENTIRE OFFENSE.

NOW YOU HAVE JAYCE JOHNSON, A TWO QUARTERBACK, HE CAN GUN IT ALL OVER THE FIELD.

BACK THERE TAKING THE STAFF.

YOU HAVE PARRISH, YOU CAN USE HIM AS A WILDCARD PIECE.

IT ALSO OPENS UP THE PASSING GAME SO CARTER NOW DOES NOT GET DOUBLED ALL THE TIME.

>> Wayne: YOU HAVE THE GAME PLAN FOR ALL OF THAT THERE.

WHERE IS MARVIS PARRISH?

THAT'S WHAT THE DEFENSE OF BUFORD HAS DONE ALL WEEK?

THE ABILITY AS WE KNOW, JOHNSON WILL GO ON THE EDGE.

YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THAT HE DOES NOT GO OVER THE TOP.

WE KNOW HE IS A GREAT ATHLETE.

>> Matt: JAYCE JOHNSON, HAS A CHANCE TO BE AS BIG A RECRUIT OF QUARTERBACK AS BROWN WAS.

HE WENT TO MIAMI.

NOW AT UCF.

HE'S GOT A BIGGER AND BETTER ARM WITH REFINED PASSING ON.

NOT QUITE THE RUNNER THAT BROWN WAS BUT A BETTER PASSER.

THE BALL GOES ON THE TUNNEL SCREEN TO CARTER.

CARTER, DOWN TO THE 45.

5.

THE CLOCK STOPPED WITH HER.

NOW IT IS RUNNING AGAIN.

>> Wayne: I'M NOT SURE THAT LOWNDES IS AWARE?

PLAY IS COMING IN LATE.

>> Matt: I BELIEVE THAT HAVE TWO TIMEOUTS REMAINING?

I'M SURPRISED THEY HAVE NOT BURNED ANY HERE.

JOHNSON, GOING TO DANCE AROUND THERE.

HE WILL THROW OUT OF BOUNDS.

7:00 WITH EIGHT SECONDS.

THEY HAD PLENTY OF TIMEOUTS WHERE THEY COULD'VE BEEN A LITTLE MORE JUDICIOUS IN THE TIME MANAGEMENT.

>> Wayne: NOT SURE WHY COACH CARTER DIDN'T CALL A TIMEOUT?

PLENTY OF TIME.

THE ABILITY WITH CARTER AND PARRISH TO WORK THE BALL DOWNFIELD -- HERE, NOT EVEN GETTING THE FIRST DOWN.

NOW PUNTING AND GETTING NO CHANCE TO PUT POINTS ON THE BOARD.

>> Matt: THEY DO NOT HAVE A PUNTER.

ANDREWS, HAD A DIFFICULT NIGHT.

THEY LINED UP IN PUNT FORMATION BUT DID NOT HAVE ANYBODY TO SNAP AT TWO.

>> Wayne: I'M NOT SURE THAT THEY KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO PUNT THE BALL?

HE CAME OUT OF THE BODIES ON THE SIDELINE.

VERY UNAWARE THAT THEY WERE PUNTING.

JOAN FOURTH DOWN AND THREE.

EIGHT SECONDS TO GO.

LOWNDES IN A PUNTING SITUATION HERE.

ANDREWS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST KICKERS IN THE STATE THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.

18 FOR 23 ON HIS FIELD-GOAL ATTEMPTS.

NOW ANDREWS IS NOT GOING TO PUNT HERE.

LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL LET SOMEBODY ELSE PUNT.

IT WILL BE, MALIK.

NO.

THAT IS A DIFFERENT 24.

I WILL GET AN ID IN A MOMENT IF I CAN.

THAT IS HARRIS COOPER.

THEY HAVE 224'S.

HARRIS COOPER PUNTS THIS TIME.

KICKS IT OUT OF BOUNDS WITH TWO SECONDS AGO IN THE HALF.

THEY WILL PUT IT DOWN AT THE 25.

THAT WAS A 24 YARD KICK BY COOPER.

>> Wayne: VERY INTERESTING THAT ANDREWS CAME OUT TO PUNT.

THEN THEY SENT SOMEONE ELSE IN.

HOPEFULLY HE'S NOT HURT.

>> Matt: MAYBE HURT FEELINGS THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

HE WASN'T READY TO DO THE JOB.

IT WOULD APPEAR THAT CARTER SAID, YOU'RE NOT READY AND WE WILL GET SOMEONE ELSE.

MAYBE THAT WAS NOT THE CASE?

WHATEVER IT WAS, WE ARE AT HALFTIME.

21-7.

BUFORD, ON TOP.

>> Wayne: BUFORD'S ABILITY TO RUN THE BALL AS WE SAW, TWO BIG RUNS BY JUSTIN BAKER.

THE BIG PLAY DOWN THE FIELD OF JORDAN ALLEN.

>> Matt: HALFTIME INTERVIEW DELIVERED BY JOHNNY'S PIZZA.

YOUR ORIGINAL NEIGHBORHOOD PIZZERIA.

>> WE SAW A BIG TOUCHDOWN BY BAKER.

THAT WAS THE MOMENTUM YOU NEEDED.

YOU GET THE BALL BACK TO START, HOW DO YOU GENERATE MORE OFFENSIVE OPPORTUNITIES?

>> KEEP RUNNING THE BALL.

WE GAVE UP THE DRIVE THERE LATE.

WE HAD A CHANCE A COUPLE TIMES TO TACKLE BUT DIDN'T MAKE THE ONES WE NEEDED.

RUNNING THE FOOTBALL, KEEP IT ON THE GROUND A LITTLE BIT TO FIND A WAY TO GET IN THE AIR TO GET MORE YARDS.

>> THERE IS A LOT OF REMINDING AND TALKING ABOUT, NOT A LOT OF ARGUING, WHAT IS THE CONVERSATION GOING TO BE LIKE WITH YOUR GUYS?

>> WE'VE BEEN PLAYING GOOD OTHER THAN ONE DRIVE.

WHEN THE TWO PLAYERS ON OFFENSE.

WE HAVE TO TURN IT UP, OBVIOUSLY.

ANOTHER COACH AND WHAT THEY WILL, WITH A WE CANNOT COME OUT THE SAME WAY OF THE FIRST.

WE HAVE TO COME OUT BETTER.

>> YOUR DAUGHTER SAID YOU WORK A LOT -- TALK A LOT ABOUT WORK ETHIC.

IN FINISHING THE DRILL IS PART OF THE DEAL.

NOTHING IS DONE YET.

WE HAVE 24 MINUTES OF OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY 24 MINUTES.

WE WILL TRY TO PLAY BETTER THAN WE DID.

IN GO BACK WITH YOUR TEAM.

ALL RIGHT.

WE WILL HAVE MORE FOOTBALL COMING UP.

IN THE MEANTIME, THE REGIONS HALFTIME SHOW IS ABOUT TO KICK OFF.

WE WILL SEND IT OVER TO THE STUDIO TO MY PALS, HANNAH AND JON.

I'M A LITTLE SURPRISED WITH THIS SCORE.

BUFORD IS BEATING LOWNDES ARE FROM.

LOWNDES IS AVERAGING 38 POINTS PER GAME ON OFFENSE.

WHAT YOU THINK IS HAPPENING?

?

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT WITH LIFE IN THE TRENCHES.

YOU SAW WHAT BUFORD WAS DOING.

RIGHT GUARD AND TACKLE, ONE TOUCHDOWN AND THEY PLOW THROUGH ON THE FOURTH DOWN.

LOWNDES SOLD OUT ON THE SHORT YARD SITUATION WITH THE LONG TOUCHDOWN RUN FOR BAKER.

THE SAME PLAY, REGARD, RIGHT TACKLE, BAKER, THEY ARE SEEING SOMETHING THERE.

ATTACKING THE LEFT HAND SIDE.

LOWNDES, NAPPING ABLE TO RUN BETWEEN THE TACKLES WITH BUFORD.

YOU ARE SEEING THE PASSING GAME.

THE PASSING GAME FROM LOWNDES.

WORKING THE OUTSIDE, TO THE SIDELINES FOR GETTING YARDAGE AND PLAY FOR THE TOUCHDOWNS.

INTERESTING STYLES, THE DICHOTOMY WE HAVE.

RUNNING AGAINST FOLKS THAT ARE SMALLER THAN YOU , PASSING AND OPEN AREAS.

IT WILL BE A FUN SECOND HALF.

COACH CARTER MAKING ADJUSTMENTS NOW.

HE HAS OVERCOME AT ALL.

HERE IS HIS STORY.

I'M A FIRM BELIEVER THAT HARDWARE CAN BEAT OUT TALENT ANY DAY OF THE WAY.

YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN AND IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO GET IT AND WORK FOR.

IN SOME SCHOOLS WAS AN ISSUE.

THEY TOLD US HE WAS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO PLAY.

>> NOT EVERYBODY IS RECRUITING .

THEY JUST ARE NOT.

THAT IS NOT THE NORM.

I HAVE FAITH THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE HOPES THAT HE COULD PLAY AND IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT HIS SIZE WAS.

>> THERE WERE SOME TIMES WHERE I FEEL LIKE I'M DOING ALL I CAN AND I'M STILL NOT GETTING THE OPPORTUNITY.

>> WE WERE TRULY BLESSED THAT GEORGIA TECH DIDN'T CARE.

HE IS PRODUCING AND PUTTING UP THE NUMBERS AND DOING THE THINGS THAT KIDS BIGGER THAN HIM RENDERING.

I BELIEVE IN THEM.

THEY CAME TO FAR TO SHUT IT DOWN.

WE HAVE TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN ON THE FIRST TRY.

THEY HAVE A DISTINCT SIZE DISADVANTAGE.

THE DEPTH DISADVANTAGE, PLAYING BUFORD.

THAT HAS NOT CHANGED GOING INTO THE SECOND HALF IT HOW CAN THEY OVERCOME THAT?

>> Wayne: THEY HAVE TO CONTINUE TO STAY ON LOCKS.

THE BIGGEST KEY AS WE TALKED ABOUT, DOMINANT DOWNS FOR BUFORD HAS BEEN THIRD AND LONG.

THEY HAVE TO WIN FIRST DOWN MORE OFTEN IN THIS HAVE TO GIVE THE TEAM A CHANCE.

PARK YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING.

IS SAVES LIVES.

LOWNDES HAS TO GIVE THE BALL TO BUFORD TO START THE SECOND HALF.

THE DEFENSE HAS TO COME UP BIG RIGHT AWAY.

TO BEGIN THE THIRD QUARTER.

>> Wayne: CAN THE DEFENSIVE FRONT HOLD UP THE OFFENSIVE LINE?

HOUSTON, HIS OLD-LINE MAKES UP FRONT DOMINATED THE FIRST HALF.

THIS IS WHAT I MEAN WHEN THEY GO INTO THE FOUR-MINUTE KIND OF MENTALITY.

THEY WALK THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD.

NOT ONLY DO THEY PUT POINTS UP, THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW THEY HAVE TAKEN SIX MINUTES OFF THE CLOCK DOING IT.

TO THEM THEY HAVE TAKEN THREE OFF THE CLOCK DURING THE QUARTER.

SECOND DOWN AND FOUR.

McCOY GETS THE HAND OFF AGAIN.

HE GOT THE FIRST DOWN.

KNOCKS JORDAN ALLEN OUT OF BOUNDS.

TREY THOMAS WAS THERE ON THE STOP.

>> Wayne: YOU CAN SEE HIS RIGHT ARM THERE.

AS A GOES TO THE GROUND.

SEE HOW THAT ARM IS OUT TO THE RIGHT?

THAT IS A SIGNAL A LOT OF TIMES OF A CONCUSSION.

WHENEVER YOU SEE GUYS GET A CONCUSSION YOU SOMETIMES SEE THEM PUT THEIR ARM UP.

GOING FOR THE BIG HIT ON THE EDGE.

TRYING TO MAKE A PLAY, TRYING TO KEEP JORDAN ALLEN OUT OF THE END ZONE >> Matt: WHICH HE WAS ABLE TO DO.

NOW THEY REALLY DO.

>> Wayne: YOU HAVE TO FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO GET VERTICAL.

THEY'VE HAD 25 SEASONS , THIS BEING THE 26th -- THIS IS THE 25th HERE, WHERE THEY HAVE GONE AT LEAST 10 WINS.

THIS WILL BE THE 11th OF THE SEASON TODAY.

THEY HAVE BEEN THE BEST PROGRAM IN THE STATE THIS CENTURY.

>> Wayne: THE YEARS THAT COACH APPLING HAS BEEN THE HEAD COACH, THEY HAVE WON A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

THEY ARE THE SYMBOL OF WHAT HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL LOOKS LIKE IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA AT THIS TIME.

NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO, AFTER THREE YEARS PEOPLE WERE ASKING WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT WON A STATE TITLE.

>> Matt: WILL THEY WIN THIS YEAR?

THEY'RE HAVING A FIGHT WITH THE RAMS.

14-10 IN THE FOURTH.

THERE ON A COLLISION COURSE TO PLAY THE TEAM THAT IS RANKED NUMBER ONE IN 6A.

CARROLLTON.

>> Wayne: WHAT A GAME THAT WILL BE.

THAT IS ONE OF THE GAMES YOU GET TO EARLY.

THE DOMINANT DEFENSIVE LINE THAT THEY HAVE.

THE ONE KEY THAT I SEE ABOUT THE BUFORD TEAM THIS YEAR AND OTHER YEARS, THEY ARE HEALTHY.

THE GUYS LOOK FRESH AND LIKE THEY ARE PLAYING WITH A LOT OF BEINGS.

EVERYBODY IS IN A GROUP.

THIS TEAM REALLY WANTS THAT CHAMPIONSHIP.

>> Matt: THE GUY THAT WILL LIKELY BE THE COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME TONIGHT HAS BEEN THE TOP STATS PRODUCER TONIGHT.

10 CARRIES.

THREE TOUCHDOWNS.

>> Wayne: A GAME HE HAS PUT ON FOR US.

AND AGGRESSION YOU WOULD NOT EXPECT THIS LATE.

IF I GET 12 CARRIES I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH THREE OR FOUR OF THOSE.

HE DID THAT.

>> Matt: THERE ARE NO TAKING PLAYS OFTEN YOU ONLY GET IT .

I HANDFUL.

IT'S GAUGED ON HOW WELL YOU PLAY WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE AND PRACTICE.

WE HAD A DISCUSSION WITH THE COACH ON OUR CONVERSATION WITH HIM WHEN WE MET ON WEDNESDAY.

THERE IS BAKER, RIGHT THERE.

GET READY TO WHERE THE TOWEL AT THE END OF THE GAME.

THREE STAR RUNNING BACK COMMITTED TO TENNESSEE.

HE SAID A LOT OF KIDS TODAY FEEL LIKE THEY HAD A GOOD PRACTICE.

THEY SAID THEY FEEL WELL BUT THE COACH SAID YOU HAVE TO DO IT MANY WEEKS AND SOMETIMES THE ENTIRE SEASON BEFORE GETTING AN OPPORTUNITY.

>> Wayne: YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS EVERY DAY THAT YOU HAVE THE KIND OF COMPETITION THAT THIS TEAM HAS BEEN -- CERTAIN PHYSICIANS YOU HAVE FOUR STARS RACKING UP FOUR STARS.

LOOKING AT THE PROSPECT SHEET YOU NEED A WHOLE PACK OF PAPER TO PRINT IT OUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MUCH TALENT.

WHEN YOU HIT THE FIELD IT IS NOT JUST ONE DAY OF PRACTICE.

EVERY DAY, EVERY PLAY.

YOU HAVE TO PROVE WHAT YOU CAN DO.

>> Matt: THEY HAVE FOUR STARS THAT ARE NOT EVEN ON THE DEPTH CHART.

THAT MEANS AT LEAST 13 IN THE FOUR STARS.

UP TOP.

JOHNSON.

CARTER.

IT IS BROKEN UP AT THE 44.

>> Wayne: GREAT JOB GETTING HIS HEAD AROUND TO CONTROL.

PLAYING THAT SAFETY POSITION.

ALLOWED HIM TO HAVE MORE CONTACT.

>> Matt: CHECK IN WITH NIKI.

>> WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE COACH, HE WAS QUICK TO SAY THAT WE LIVE IN A MICROWAVE SOCIETY.

90 SECONDS ON THE MICROWAVE AND HERE IS PRODUCTION.

YOU TALKED ABOUT BEING PRODUCTIVE FOR A FEW WEEKS.

HE SAID 2 TO 3 MONTHS WE CANNOT HAVE GUYS MIXED --MISS PRACTICE EVEN ONE DAY.

OUR GUYS HAVE TO EARN AT PRACTICE AND HE WILL FIND A WAY TO GET THEM ON THE FIELD.

WE WILL FORCE IN A PLAY EARLY.

>> Matt: THEY RUN A TIGHT SHIP.

HE IS NOT A STRICT DISCIPLINARIAN WHO IS OVER-THE-TOP.

IT IS VERY KID FRIENDLY.

WE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM BEFORE HE SAID HE REMEMBERS PLAYING AS A KID , RIDING THE BUS TO THE GAME.

WE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE NOISE.

NOW I LET MY KIDS LOOSE .

I WANT THEM TO HAVE FUN.

AT THE SAME TIME THEY ARE DEMANDING IN WHAT THEY EXPECT FOR THE EXPECTATIONS .

>> Wayne: WHEN I ASKED IF IT WAS HIM OR THE PROGRAM HE WAS QUICK TO SAY THE PROGRAM.

YOU HAVE TO CHECK THE OTHER THINGS AT THE DOOR WHEN YOU COME HERE TO PLAY.

THIS TEAM AND SCHOOL IN THIS WORK, THEIR MINDSET IS SO INGRAINED IN WINNING.

THAT'S HOW THEY HAVE THE DOMINANCE THEY HAVE HAD THE LAST 25 YEARS.

>> Matt: STARTING WITH DEXTER WOOD, WHEN THE RUN OF DOMINANT STARTER.

HE CAME FROM MARIETTA TO BEAUFORT.

6:35, TO PLAY.

>> Matt: BUFORD IS GOING TO THE QUARTERFINALS.

THEY WILL BE BACK HERE AT THE STADIUM NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT PLAYING NORTH KORNET.

THE BULLDOGS DEFEATED NOON TODAY.

24-10 IN THIS CAMERA.

WHETHER BUFORD WINS OR LOSES, THIS IS THE FINAL SEASON IN THIS BUILDING.

THEY OPEN UP A $75 MILLION STADIUM NOT FAR FROM HERE IN THE 2025 SEASON.

I HAVE NOT SEEN IT BUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAY IT IS SPECTACULAR.

>> Wayne: LIKE A FOUR LEAF CLOVER.

YOU KEEP LOOKING FOR AND ALL YOU DO IS FINE THREE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS TEAM WHO ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE STADIUM, THE PRICE AMOUNT FOR A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT MUST BE A GLORIOUS PLACE.

RIGHTFULLY SO WITH THIS TEAM AND THIS PROGRAM.

GREAT FAN BASE.

IT REALLY IS FRIDAY NIGHT LACE.

YOU EXPECT THAT WHEN YOU COME TO WHAT IS STARTING TO BE KNOWN AROUND THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL WORLD AS THE UNIVERSITY OF BEAUFORT.

TIM WAS SECOND DOWN AND THREE.

THE CROWD IS DOWN A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT.

THAT WAS ANTICIPATED ACROSS GEORGIA.

A LITTLE SCHEDULING DEAL WHERE TODAY SCHOOL LET OUT .

FOR MOST SCHOOLS AROUND THE STATE YOU ARE OUT FOR ANOTHER 12 DAYS UNTIL THE MONDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING.

MIGHT HAVE DIFFICULT ATTENDANT STRAWS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAY AND THE LENGTH OF IT.

>> Wayne: GONE ARE THE DAYS.

THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING.

YOU HAVE THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE AND YOU ARE BACK IN ON MONDAY.

>> Matt: WE DID GET THURSDAY AND FRIDAY OFF.

NOWADAYS IT IS ALMOST A TWO WEEK VACATION.

WE WOULD WALK TO SCHOOL IN THE SNOW.

IT WAS NOT QUITE THAT BAD.

KEVIN BARNES, THE STATISTICIAN THERE.

HE WALKED TO SCHOOL IN THE SNOW.

>> Wayne: A LOT OF THE BACKUPS AND OFFENSIVE LINE --RAIOLA, STILL IN THE GAME.

THAT IS MOST LIKELY FOR BALL SECURITY.

THE YOUNG FRESHMAN , DORSEY, IS REPLACING HIM.

>> Matt: A NEW QUARTERBACK IN FOR BUFORD.

THEY'RE LOOKING TO CLOSE THIS ONE OUT.

THAT IS DORSEY, THE FRESHMAN.

THE BALL AT THE 47.

A HIGH SNAP.

THE HANDOFF GOES TO McCOY.

>> Wayne: A LITTLE HIGH SNAP BY THE CENTER , DORSEY.

A COUPLE INCHES SHORTER THAN RAIOLA.

NEED TO BRING DOWN THE TARGET.

>> Matt: THAT IS McCOY.

IT MIGHT BE A CRAMP?

HE IS REACHING FOR HIS CALF MUSCLE.

WE WILL REACH FOR THE TIMEOUT BUTTON.

WE WILL COME BACK FOR THE FINAL, RIGHT AFTER THIS.

>> Matt: 4:05, TO PLAY.

BUFORD ON TOP OF LOWNDES.

103 FROM BAKER.

52, GREEN.

28, ERVIN.

31, McCOY.

RAIOLA HAS GIVEN 19.

THE GOT McCOY OFF THE FIELD.

CANTRELL, JAMEER CANTRELL, BECOMES THE FIFTH RUNNING BACK TONIGHT.

>> Wayne: CAN'T READ ENOUGH ABOUT THESE YOUNG MEN.

THEY GET IN AND YOU CAN'T SEE A DROP IN PRODUCTION.

YOU CAN'T SEE GUYS SOAKING AT THAT POSITION.

YOU GET A COUPLE CARRIES.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN?

IS NOT LIKE BY QUARTER.

IT JUST AS THE GAME GOES, YOU GET INJECTED INTO THE GAME.

THEY DO A GREAT JOB PLAYING UNSELFISH FOOTBALL.

>> Matt: THEY HAVE A MORE TALENTED RUNNING BACK ROOM THAN MOST COLLEGES.

I'M TALKING ABOUT POWER CONFERENCE TEAMS.

THERE ARE SOME IN THIS COUNTRY, NOT GEORGIA OR ALABAMA, POWER CONFERENCE TEAMS, NONETHELESS, THAT WOULD KILL TO HAVE THE FIVE RUNNING BACKS THAT BUFORD HAS.

>> Wayne: AS A TEAM YOU'RE HOPING TO FIND TWO GUYS YOU CAN ROTATE IN AND OUT.

A THIRD ONE WOULD BE A LUXURY.

HERE, IT IS FOUR OR FIVE GUYS THAT GET IN.

EACH CAN SCORE.

EACH HAVE THE SPEED AND THE TALENT TO GO ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY AS WE RATTLE OFF SCHOOLS.

SOME GUYS UNDETERMINED WHERE THEY ARE GOING.

A LOT OF THE GUYS DO A GREAT JOB.

THE COACH TALKED ABOUT HOW EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THEY STUMBLE UPON A PLAYER THAT THEY CENTER THE OFFENSIVE RUMFORD MOST OF THE TIME IT IS RUNNING BACK BY COMMITTEE.

>> Matt: BROWN, OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 50.

THAT HAPPENED A COUPLE YEARS AGO WHEN HE HAD JUSTIN HAYNES WHO IS AT ALABAMA.

USUALLY IT IS RUNNING BACK BY COMMITTEE.

THEY USUALLY DON'T HAVE THAT RUNNING BACK THAT WILL GET THE BALL 25 TIMES AGAIN.

>> Wayne: THE THING ABOUT IT, WE HAVE CALLED GAMES WHERE YOU ARE NOT SURE THAT THE THIRD GUY IS NOT BETTER THAN THE FIRST?

IT IS THAT KIND OF PRODUCTIVE ROOM.

>> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND ONE FOR THE 49.

BROWN HAS A FIRST DOWN AT THE 50.

LOWNDES IS GOING TO FINISH UP AT TENANT 2 ON THE SEASON.

ALL IN ALL, A DRAMATIC FLIP OF THE SCRIPT FOR ADAM CARTER IN HIS SECOND SEASON THAT AFTER THEY WENT 4 AND 6 A YEAR AGO.

0 AND 4 IN THE REGION.

THIS YEAR FINISHING UP AT 10 AND 2.

CAME UP A FIELD GOAL SHORT OF WINNING THE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

UP TOP.

A JUMP BALL.

NEARLY INTERCEPTED.

FLAGS,.

WE WILL HAVE A DEFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE.

I BELIEVE THAT WAS GARLAND WHO NEARLY HAD THE INTERCEPTION.

>> Wayne: TRYING TO GET THE BALL DEEP DOWNFIELD TO AIDAN SEFA.

THE BALL FLOATED OVER HIM RIGHT HERE TRYING TO GET IT DOWN THE FIELD.

YOU SEE HIM TRY TO WORK BACK TO THE BALL AND GETTING HELD AS HE'S TRYING TO DO SO.

BY THE CORNERBACK.

YOU SEE BOTH ARMS AROUND AIDAN SEFA.

>> Matt: NUMBER 43 THAT WAS OUT THERE COVERING AIDAN SEFA, JOSHUA ECHOLS.

HE HAS THREE OFFERS INCLUDING OLE MISS.

HE'S JUST NOT GETTING IN THE GAME ON MOP UP DUTY.

>> Wayne: MOP UP DUTY FOR A THREE STAR.

SO MUCH DEPTH AROUND THIS FIELD.

>> Matt: YOU HAVE TO FIGURE HIS DAY IS COMING.

HE IS JUST A SOPHOMORE SO HE WILL GET A LOT MORE PLAYING TIME IN THE FUTURE.

RUNNING A BUBBLE STREAM.

OH, GOODNESS.

JAYLIN CARTER, GOT NAILED ON THE PLAY.

>> Wayne: WORKING UNDERNEATH JAYLIN CARTER AND A BIG HIT COMING FROM THE SECONDARY RIGHT THERE.

>> Matt: JAYSON STACK.

HE IS NOT ON THE DEPTH CHART .

HE STACKED THEM UP, ALL RIGHT.

JOHNSON.

GOING TO GET DROPPED AT THE 38 FOR THE QUARTERBACK SACK.

TO TO KNOW WHERE TO GO WITH THE BALL.

TRYING TO GET THE BALL DOWN DEEP.

THE RECEIVERS ARE RUNNING THE GO ROUTES.

NO TIME TO GET THE BALL TO PLANT HIS FEET AND THROW IT.

WHAT A BIG CAREER.

WRITE HIS NAME DOWN.

JAYCE JOHNSON.

HAS A TIME POTENTIAL ALL OVER.

ONLY A SOPHOMORE.

60.

ABOUT 210.

BIG ARM.

THE ABILITY TO RUN.

SCRAMBLE.

KEEPING PLAYS ALIVE.

>> Matt: CARTER WILL GET HIS TEAM IN THE WEIGHT ROOM FOR ANOTHER OFF-SEASON.

THAT WAS A BIG FACTOR FOR THEM IN A TURNAROUND SEASON.

THE BALL ENDS UP ON THE GROUND.

THEY WILL RULE IT DOWN BY CONTACT.

THAT WAS A BIG FACTOR IN THE TURNAROUND THIS YEAR.

CARTER, WAS ABLE TO GET THEM IN THERE TO HAVE A FULL OFF-SEASON IN THE WEIGHT ROOM.

THAT WAS A BIG ISSUE FOR THEM LAST YEAR.

GET SOME HELP ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

THEY HAVE TWO BOOK IN TACKLES THAT WILL BE GOOD.

THEY BRING BACK THE OFFENSIVE LINE NEXT YEAR.

THE LEFT TACKLE AND EISENHOWER AT THE RIGHT TACKLE.

BOTH OF THOSE GUYS ARE COLLEGE PROSPECTS.

>> Wayne: HATS OFF TO THE SENIORS.

COACH CARTER RAVES ABOUT HOW THEY CAME IN TO SET THE TONE WITH LEADERSHIP.

THEY HELPED TURN THE PROGRAM AROUND TO GET BACK TO WHERE IT ONCE WAS.

>> Matt: THE PASS WAS THROWN, AND COMPLETE.

21 SECONDS TO PLAY IN THIS ONE.

THE VIKINGS BRING THE DEFENSE BACK OUT FOR THE FINAL TIME THIS SEASON.

BUFORD IS GOING TO IMPROVE TO 11 AND 2.

11 STRAIGHT WINS.

SINCE HE OPENED THE SEASON WITH A 13-10 LOSS TO MILTON.

THEY ARE RANKED NUMBER TWO.

THEY HAD A ONE POINT WIN OVER BENEDICTINE IN WEEK TWO OF THE SEASON.

SINCE THEN COUNTY TONIGHT, THEY HAVE NOW OUTSCORED THE LAST 10 OPPONENTS BY A SCORE OF 444 TO 82.

>> Wayne: TONIGHT, THE BEST THING I SAW OTHER THAN PHYSICALITY, YOU DID NOT SEE THE MENTAL LOW THAT THEY SOMETIMES FALL INTO ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY GO UP EARLY.

THEY PLAYED A COMPLETE GAME AS FAR AS ENGAGEMENT AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL.

>> Matt: BUFORD ADVANCES TO THE QUARTERFINALS.

THE 24th TIME IN THE LAST 25 SEASONS.

THE 36th TIME IN PROGRAM HISTORY.

THEY JUST KEEP ON GOING.

NEXT UP, THEY WILL PLAY HOST TO NORTH GWINNETT.

UNDEFENDED NORTH DAKOTA IN THE QUARTERFINALS.

NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT.

TO INTEGRATE DISPLAY OF YOU FOR FOOTBALL TONIGHT.

THE ABILITY TO WIN THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

ALWAYS RUNNING THE BALL AND STOPPING THE RUN.

THAT WAS WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO DO.

THE CONTROL, THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.

IT TURNED INTO A DOMINANT PERFORMANCE.

>> Matt: BUFORD HAS WON 12 STRAIGHT HOME GAMES.

DATING BACK TO THE 2022 SEASON.

THEY WILL GET A CHANCE TO PICK UP NUMBER 12 IN A ROW, NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT.

IMPRESSIVE WIN AGAIN FOR BUFORD.

THEY DO A GREAT JOB TO GET THE BALL AND FIND THE GAPS WHERE THEY ARE.

UNSELFISH.

THEY ARE SECOND TO NONE AND I AM PROUD TO HAVE ALL OF THEM.

>> IT SEEMS LIKE A DEFENSE SHUT DOWN THE OFFENSE READY QUICKLY.

HELD THEM TO SEVEN POINTS AT HOW DID THEY SUCCEED TONIGHT?

?

WE DID NOT DO A LOT OF CRAZY THINGS THIS WEEK.

WE WANTED TO GO OUT AND PLAY FOOTBALL.

WE FIGURED WE COULD DO THAT AGAINST THEM.

THE BEST THING FOR US WAS AS ATLANTIC AND ELECTRIC AS THEY ARE, WE DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE UP A SEAM WHERE WE SHOULDN'T HAVE.

WE PLAYED BASS FOOTBALL AND TACKLED.

WE DID NOT ON THE ONE DRIVE OTHER THAN THAT IT WAS PRETTY GOOD.

>> WE WILL LOOK PAST THE ONE DRIVE.

YOUR HOSTING NORTH KORNET.

THESE TEAMS HAVE NOT PLAYED EACH OTHER SINCE 1998.

HOW DO YOU BUILD UPON THIS WEEK AS YOU MOVE FORWARD?

IN THE BEST PLACE TO BE DEVELOPED.

A GREAT COMMUNITY.

GOING UP , I DON'T LIVE NEAR ILFORD, I ALWAYS HEARD ABOUT IT AND FOR A WHILE I HATED.

HE FEELS THEY'RE GETTING BETTER AND WE SAW THAT AGAIN.

THE THIRD TIME WE SAW THEM THIS SEASON ON GPB.

>> Wayne: IS SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE TOTALLY ENGAGED AT THE MISSION .

IT IS NOT FINISHED.

THE PHYSICALITY THAT THEY RUN IN THE OFFENSIVE LINE, AS BAKER SAID, YOU CAN QUOTE ME.

THE BEST RUNNING BACK ROOM IN THE STATE.

YOUNG GUYS WHO PLAYED WELL.

IT HAS BEEN GREAT TO SEE HIM PERFORM WELL AND BE ABLE TO DELIVER THE BALL.

JUST KEEPING THE OFFENSE GOING FROM WHAT WE HAD LAST YEAR.

>> WAS THERE A MOMENT WHEN THE LIGHT CLICKED ON?

HAS IT BEEN A GRADUAL THING?

TAKING OVER FOR JAKE, THERE IS A LOT YOU HAVE TO PROCESS TO BE THE QUARTERBACK TO UNDERSTAND THE OFFENSE.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO GET TO FULL SONG WITH A NEW QUARTERBACK?

>> IT TOOK A COUPLE GAMES FOR HIM TO GET A GOOD FEEL FOR THE OFFENSE , TO BE SETTLED AND CALM.

HE HAS BEEN STEADY ALL YEAR AFTER THAT.

AFTER A COUPLE GAMES, THE SECOND GAME WE DIDN'T PLAY WELL , DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE BULLETS.

NOT A GREAT NIGHT.

AFTER THAT, HE STRUNG TOGETHER NINE REALLY GOOD PERFORMANCES AT QUARTERBACK.

IT HAS BEEN GREAT TO WATCH THEM BEING STEADY AND CALM AND RELAXED.

HE HAS BEEN A CATALYST FOR US.

>> WE ARE BURYING THE LEAD.
