they're jus Juniors so this Douglas County Team figure to be really good and a stat championship Contender for a while to com maturity and size and attitude that i what this offensive line brings i communicating and then you add in their thre star day uh quarterback that dual threa aspect that he can bring at any poin and you just have an explosive offens yeah I think that's one of the othe

quarterback can make tha throw down the field take advantage o that play action fake and with th explosive receivers that they both have i should be a big time game Dougla County all in blue you see

down and we're going to have movement encroachment defens 5yd penalty be a first down Greg Hoggle is our referee tonight the officials for thi game provided by the Atlanta are football officials Association and that should give th Panthers a first down across the 45 yd line so both these teams so fa have kind of been true to thei colors here and that they're going to ru the ball both feel like they have t establish the run to set up the pla action let's be honest when you have thi kind of size and these kind of downhil backs you got to try to wear out o these defenses and do what you do bes which is run the ball both team average almost 350 yards rushing pe game Langston Hughes has two fourstar offensive tackles Wiggins On Th Run gets driven into the ground a the 50 yard line that

Carson Baker down to the 20 yd line great job there on tha left side Glover Harris Patience by Bake that track speed there just comin off the left side read option there b Langford who gives him that Dimensio with the speed that he has at quarterbac that defensive end is really in pickle on those handoffs 18yd pickup firs and 10 from the 20 Langford to the ai and touchdown in the corner of th end zone as he drops it in the Brea Basket of javanni McGee playaction fate great jo up front solid pocket to throw from an what a laser throw there by Kriste Langford to javanni shy McGee look at the protection n pressure step into the throw the laser t the back of the end zone there t McGee beautiful playaction fake ther Lanford for McGee for the touchdow langford's sixth touchdown pass of the season and for me McGee it's hi third touchdown reception Alex Brock is on fo the Pat and McGee who just caught th touchdown pass is the holder and the kic is up and good in a seven three lea for Langston Hugh six plays 65 yd and it took him just two minutes al about the play action protection goo punch there by the left tackle Glover an then leading beautiful ball righ there to McGee from Langford we talke about Langford so much talent 62190 look at that throw righ there to that young man he's bounce around but right there shows you th Brilliance of his ability so Langford we sa him in 2022 when he was a sophomore a East CA you threw those five touchdow passes against Lou in a big upset tha night and we all thought this youn man is going to be a huge quarterbac by the time he gets to his senio season but then he transferred to Bufor looked like he was going to be th starting quarterback there until Dyla riola showed up he left Buford went t Collins Hill left Collins Hill went t weslake and now it looks like he' landed on his feet with Daniel Boone an Langston Hughes and a system where think really favors his ability a play actio big quarterback dual threat that ca throw the ball deep down the field an it's just good to see him finding home here to show his talent for the nex level yeah I think he's got a chanc to really blow up this season and reac that potential that we thought we sa in him as a sophomore got derailed as junior but he's completing over 70% o his passes here as a senior Big Tim arm and coach raved about him knowin when to check down when to run cerebra game for lanca ball is going to kick ou of bounds we'll see if that wa touched before it went out of bounds i looks like a flag comes out s apparently it was not so Douglas County is goin to take over the 35 yd line so Langsto Hughes makes an immediate statement i this game and says look you ca settle for field goals we're scorin touchdowns they understand the pace of thi game they understand the opponen they are mirror images of each other tha can run the ball eat up free kick i fraction on the kicking team the ball wil be placed at 35 yd line first down an when those big plays can be defined lik that on that last touchdown you got t take advantage of them and Langsto Hughes did on that drive so ball spotted down a the 35 yd line as we see Douglas Count going offense and they drove 65 yard before having to settle for a fiel goal on their opening possession Wayne Lindley in there runnin back he's going to get the hand off an Lindley is going to get stood up at th line of scrimmage and driven back by host of Langston Hughes Panthers Marcus Lenley has had a brilliant season so far 22 yards last week right there a little to much dancing in the hole when yo talk about the team speed of Langsto Hughes not the biggest of fronts a lot of a aggressiveness and Team Speed o that defensive side of the ball Javon Beckford the defensive tackle transfer from Cedar Grove was the firs guy there and drove him back and there's j Griggs who's been offered b Arizona Junior linebacker for Langsto Hughes having a great season he was i on that tackle as well the pass i complete at the 43 and Diving forward to th 45 with the catch was Devin Carte another transfer from Cedar Grove spee 6217 D Junior to fourstar Great athlete impactful player tha has come over here and and giv anothe Target to BAU down the field consensu fourstar Rivals has him ranked the numbe two wide receiver in the country i 2026 he is the son of former Florid State and San Francisco 49ers standou Dexter Carter so you can see Florid State's at the top of his list Douglas County running th ball to the 48 yd line that was Lenle who rushed for over 225 yds las week against n a special back tha can run behind his pass instincts bi thick and patient just makes it hard o the defense always bouncing off o bodies inside is Lindley team leadin rusher with 392 yards this season fiv carries for 34 yds so far tonight second down and seve one with a heart count trying to get th defense to declare right there as BAU defense stays settled no n one jumping off sides Bordeaux going to the ai looking for the home run and overthrow his man double coverage here on Aaro Gregory number four who's one of the to rated wide receivers in the countr and that's the kind of attention that Aaro Gregory gets right there Spencer an Barner both going down the field just tryin to get it and force it in sometimes s your big time receiver your top u reception leader and Gregory 63 180 only junior what what a great career he' going to have Bordeaux has started th game one for four only eight yds passin so [Music] far Bordeaux to the air and it's complete out here on the edge and that's Ellison with th catch just his second catch of th season but he's been offered by Gardner we and Miles College nice read here by Bar get the ball out quick to Ellison out in the open fiel just enough to pick up that firs down AR the web miles on his radar bi reception right there for that pick up fo his team first and 10 ball i sitting on the 45 hand off goes to stree streer runs it straight ahead picks up abou four or five on the play just pushin and shoving on that right side Eddi Alford Julius Dumis 310 330 Junior on that right sid just bodies pushing and aale Josh Sa aale at 6 I'm just laughing looking a this guy six sophore just incredible I mean he is I mea that's a big offensive line and he dwar him he looks like a giant next to th big offensive line results on first down the thing I love I love t go before the game to really see i the size is what we see on you kno when we look through and and hear al the clips and to go down there and reall see these young men are big thic physical they are legit 68 and 65 tackles so first and 1 following the infraction for going deep for Gregory Gregor holds it in and incomplete apparently h was not able to hold on to [Applause] it flag down on the field a well will check that call he went out of our line o vision so I don't know whether h dropped it or he just didn't get his feet down one-on-one coverage out her Gregory on Spencer recognizing the rout and just trying to drop it in yea he's out of bounds looks like he's out o bound interfer on the defense 15 y penalty results on the first down he was able to catch it bu he was clearly not even close to being inbounds but a 15yd penalt against the Panthers will give the Tiger the ball at the 20 yd line first and 1 good recognition there by BAU he sa that one-on-one match up when he ge Aaron Gregory out there against anyon he's want to go try to go up top D Bordeaux rated a three star quarterbac got offers from Auburn Old Miss an George Georgia Tech among his 26 an that's rocki Kelly on the run so th third different running back tha they've used here tonight back after back afte back we haven't even talked abou Michael Hasty who Clips over sometimes fro line backer Lin Lee this time roc Keith Kelly with the spin move to stay i bounds to pick up a couple of yards so second down and six a we approach two minutes to pla here in the opening quarter Lindley back in there a running back he's going to get the Roc and Lindley crashes in there bas making the tackle going to bring up thir down and short nice job there by Bass the middle linebacker true middle linebacker 5 10 stepping up in that hole is one of those guys yo got to get into his wheelhouse early to tr to get him down seven offers fo Lindley Boston College Georgia Southern an Ball State among them brings up third down here' a dangerous down here if you lin and here you got to keep your eye o Bardo remember the kind of ability h has to scramble can't let him out th pocket Bordeaux that's complete and that's going to b a catch by Ellison let's see if he's go the line to gain there he's right o the 10 going to be close somethin tells me that they're they got it there' first down on that offered by Garder we and Miles Ellison's also used in th Run game they've thrown to him twic now here in this opening quarter o this drive down under a minute 11t play of the drive coming up they've ha two long

close t it at the 11 yd line DJ BAU showing that dua threat ability he does have some spee a big quarterback 62190 look like it was a little indecision though between hi and the running back decided to pull i but he has that kind of ability to mak up for those bad stes so first and 10 ball is a the 11 yd line James Jackson now i there take the snaps as the backu quarterback and the Wildcat they do this a lo once they get in those Red Zone situations going to run it fla out Johnson turns the corner an down to the two flag up top most likely a false start by the offense this is the second tim they put James Johnson in there and thi has happened and you taking the snap illegal formation offens 5yd penalty replay first [Applause] down we saw this earlier on th the goal line play he had a infractio like this when James Jones came in as wel but you can see right there the talen the speed that he has the to affect th defense in that situation committed to US a week ago last Friday committed to th Trojans over 50 other offers includin Georgia Tech and Georgia he's accounted for 4 touchdowns in his career passing runnin and catching it's first and 15 no going to take the snap again and run th same play again this time cuts insid and gets tackled inside the 15 y line that was Jakari Freeman the safety wh came up and hit him first James Jones just love playing football he's a guy quarterbac running back slot receiver wide receiver cornerback Nickelback anythin you need he wants to play football h wants to be on the field yeah we aske Johnny White what position does he play a USC and he said I think he plays defens but if they ask him what position h wants to play he'll just tell him I jus want to play football I just want to b a football player put me on th field coach second down and 12 now Bordeaux back in ther going for the corner of the end zone and incomplete try and connect i that far corner with rock Keith Kelly an it's going to be third down and 1 you saw Terrence Brown who's thei Nickelback they call it a panther he wa running step for step coverage ther nice route here by Kell little stop doubl move move right there to to get t the open and just couldn't come up wit the catch but beautiful move Rocky Kell put there on Terence Brown out of tha slot position another long drive thi is a 13th play coming up for th Tigers in this [Applause] drive BAU now going to run i now going to throw it in the middle an deflected by the Panthers in the end zon it's going to be fourth down let' see if they try another field goal attemp wo filling the read fin the pressure saw the void here as h steps up in the pocket nice jo stepping up out of the pressure trying t deliver the ball and jus miscommunication there maybe a hand on that ball b poppy Jones to knock it away so poppy comes up big ther in the end zone they bring Boris o again he's already kicked field goals of 3 and 23 yards tonight still a little indecision abou whether they're going for missing th holder's not theer toxil was not reall sure can we kick the ball without th holder in this situation now we got a timeout time out blue smar timeout right here the last thing yo want is a rushed holder to Bobble the sna and have it blocked and go back th other way play so Johnny White decides let's be cautiou here and make sure we got all our PS and q's just miscommunication there typically wherever the kicker i the holder is they they o combination they should be attached in the bel right yes they are let's check in wit John Nelson couple of things Matt looking a that field goal attempt by the tim the holder got out there they wer really only about five maybe 5 and A yards from the line of scrimmage s that might have been cut into a littl close and giving Langston Hughes a chanc to go for a block closed quarter there when the holder finally did get ou all right web game getting close to th half right now it's 26 to7 in a battle o three and O's North Cobb putting a numbe on Cass right now we'll keep an eye o that Wy ballot on the Bark for that on also tombs leading Rome 14-6 secon quarter in Northwest Georgia more wit you upstairs all right appreciat that thanks for keeping us up to dat on those scores and now let's se they spaced it off now they've go more than five and a half yards from th line of scrimmage 31 yd kick now the backed it up a [Music] yard kick is going to be off th mark this time so bores had hit hi first two but misses from 31 right here a he hooks it and once again Douglas Count is kept out of the end zone they'v racked up a lot of plays and a lot of yard weighing but they have not been able t get the ball in the end zone no finishing Drive it will kill you in big game especially when you're dominating at th line of scrimmage as Douglas County i you can see the fustration on Coac White's face that they're doing so man things right offensively driving the ball and defensively limiting uh Langsto Hughes but just cannot punch the bal into the end zone yeah this is th Douglas County team that was averaging 41.7 points per game and was th fourth highest scoring team in 6 through the first three weeks of the season Wiggins in there running bac and Wiggins up to the 31 yd lin Laren Williams downfield helping in o that tackle good job right ther Wiggins getting to the outside that lef side behind Glover and Harris ove there and then getting up field picking u that big chunk of yardage so firs and 10 following a 14 play 5 minutes 6 yd drive that netted nothing for the Tigers and that' Wiggins catching the ball out of th back field as he runs it up to the 40 y line and close to a first down just ou in the open space creating that matchu with a guy like Wiggins against a linebacker right here just easy throwing catch nice job gettin up field showing you the speed acceleration gexler hanging o trying to get him out of bounds quantaviu wiggin six offers including Georgi State pass thrown by by Langford be a 6yd pickup as th ball goes to Jabari Jones play action fake righ there nice job leading Jones with the pas there is Langford jari Jones one of thos guys as we talked about miss th versatility similar to James Johnson jus kind of lines up anywhere on the fiel to make plays second down and fou Langford right there in the middle an broken up at the 39 yd line great defense and that's Jame Johnson didn't we say he plays anywher just and he does or was that him oh that' Aaron Gregory AAR Gregory free safet another guy that plays anywhere make impacts no no matter where you put him jus reading the quarterback eyes breaking o the ball with that Big Frame 6310 Jr can cover a lot of ground a you can see on that kind of play thir down and four now they do have two timeout remaining as we're down to 90 seconds lef in the half lot of motion here a lot o pieces moving here for LS and the Hugh keeper by Langford and h picks up the first down at the 48 yd lin just kind of skipped his way throug traffic picked up the first down h looks looked very uncomfortable right ther with that play didn't really seem like u the guys offensively knew the Personne where to go lford doing the smart thin of just skipping up the field an picking up the first down we're down to 75 second left in the half first and 10 at the [Music] 48 probably get got to get th ball inside the 25 for them to be i field goal range flag out might have ho lanford's in trouble he's goin to take a sack at the 49 yd line an that was Jaylen Ray I don't know tha they'll count that as a sack but it's a quarterback drop at the line of scrimmage the 48 yd line early flag right there Ray gettin around D tril Glover but flag looked lik it was already out on the play befor that happened illegal shift offens 5yd penalty replay first down Wayn knows his shifts and his holding righ you know the timing of those flag you immediately knew that can't b holding that flag's too quick I canno be holding that how is it alread on the ground can't have that on m resume you're done tril Glover ' committed to Georgia one of the top offensiv linemen in the country you've seen hi play on the defensive line too Daniel Boone Williams think he's just as good if not better o the defensive line than th offensive line pass to The Far Side and nearly intercepted at the 43 yd lin and this time it is James Johnson M Johnson deciding to make an impac defensively nice read here low snap to Langford and then just grea read There by James Johnson breaking o that ball so dangerous if he comes up wit that interception so now second dow in 15 with 44 seconds to play the probably got to pick up at least 30 yard from here here to have a shot at field goal if that's what they're thinkin they do have two timeouts remaining jus not looking comfortable in thi drive in this four receiver set that' been this offense of Langston Hughes that was Jones in motio laner is going to step up and run tryin to turn the corner going to step out o Bounds at the 47 yd line and that's going to brin up third down and long stops the cloc with 36 seconds right there showing you th ability to make something with his feet a Langford the spread offense in this se of downs has just not been clicking fo Langston Hughes that time just tuckin the ball getting a couple of yard keeping his team in a shorter down in distance third down and nine th line to gain is the [Applause] 38 Wiggins in there running bac we'll see if they hand it off to hi or pass Pro he's just going to pass Pr Langford heavy rush and he gets away fro the pressure at least from now Hast drags him down at the 41 yd line it' going to be fourth down and the cloc continues to run and now a timeout ha been called stopping the clock I'm out White and the Panthers have on timeout remaining great job there b middle linebacker Mike Hasty big physical no linebacke 63 225 showing that kind of open field explosion to bring down a athlete like Christian lford in tha situation yeah Johnny White feels like Wes Virginia getting a steal in Mike Hast who stands 63 225 you know thinking that he' maybe 25 for 30 PBS away from being defensive end yeah I was about an inch an 20 lbs and he'll be coming off the edg with his kind of athletic ability and physicality just a grea linebacker in the making still hasn't reache his potential yeah they really lik him on the outside but he's so valuabl for them playing that mik positio because of his communication skills an his you know his ability to to call th plays on that defensive side of the bal got to have that constant communicatio inside for this kind of defense and h is the one who provides it and thos kind of talents it plays shows you wh he's a three star so fourth and four 24 seconds to play in th half they risk giving up a little bit of short field here if they don't conver but Douglas County does not have any timeouts remaining we'll see if they sna it or try to draw them off [Applause] sides the leg game offense 5y penalty fourth down well now most assuredl they will bu and just not a well execute drive in this situation this whole driv for Lon Hugh some miscommunication some breakdowns and protection the seem a little rattled here running thi series of downs for them five penaltie 55 yards in penalties on th Panthers so far here tonight they had 1 penalties called on them last year i their loss against Douglas count so i looks like they're still going for i unless they pooch kick here fourth dow and eight they're going to drop bac and pass flag comes out Langford i trouble scrambling and he's going to ge dropped at the 42 yd line ball goes ove on downs but let's check th penalty flag looks like a man might hav been shaken up for Douglas County o that tackle as well that's Aaron Gregory now sitting up an getting up some Friendly Fire Mike Hasty I think took som Friendly Fire there at the end as th bodies went to the ground referee noticin that maybe he sustained a concussio threw his hat down to protect him w got two fouls on the play we got a illegal shift on the offense we got personal foul on the defense thos penalties off set replay fourth down wow well that's a great brea for Douglas County because otherwis that would have gifted Lang Hughes 1 yds and a first down and put him clos to being in field goal range instead it' going to offset and they'll repeat th down with 15 seconds to play in the half Mike Hasty the middl linebacker able to walk off hopefull that's a good sign for Douglas County in tha second half just not a good sequence o downs here for Langston Hughe Langford scrambling to his left up an running to the outside with real estate th gain steps out at the 33 and that's going to be th end of the half well that was a quick 1 seconds that burned off right there bu that is the end of the half with Lithi or Langston Hughes pardon m leading leading Douglas County 76 toug physical half of football as we expecte in this kind of game two teams tha mirror each other play a physical Bland o run football very comfortabl playing each other just som miscommunications Douglas County trying to didn' finish some drives that could have pu him up on the board bigger in this game so halftime and a 76 lea for Langston Hughes in this battl of state championship contenders one an 5A the Panthers the 5A team team i Douglas County the

both sides but I mean bot teams well coach both team fre fight w just got to keep working we got to put couple of these in the end zone I think w left 21 points off on uh on the boar the first half we left so we just got t keep working so he's going to kee working and I'm going to send i upstairs that man is running about 900 mile an hour man all right thank you Nell appreciate the interview and here's a loo at our lone highlight scoring highligh that is touchdown highlight from th first half and it was uh on the Langsto Hughes first drive they capped it o Christian langford's 20-yard touchdow pass to javanni McGee just a beautifu play action fake beautiful deliver there Langford to Shai McGee in th back of the end zone for our only score of the first half Langford five o seven passing for 49 yards and als five for 37 rushing and look at this w talked about the rushing games for bot these teams right at 350 for each tea per game and here they are after two quarters they are dead even a 112 a piece rushing yards they bot came in established the run up front an the thing you love too is zer turnovers as well clean game as for a turning the ball over in the passing yar have you ever seen I've never seen tha many stats that even wow it's jus been a great game so far and I know w came here for the the explosiv offense but the defense has showed up in th first half they made key crucial play at moments yes there was som mental errors and some some bad situations bu you have to take your hat off to th defense who are clawing and clawing a these offenses so who's the team tha finally Breaks Loose here and gets thei offense going and that's really kind o a misnomer we've had offense i just keeps getting stopped by the defens in the critical and crucial situation I think it's the team that can focus i those situations especially down i the Red Zone kind of just let your character and you personnel take over and stop trying to b creative and just let them do what they d opening kickoff is brought to you b heads up Georgia park your phone whil driving it saves lives and the thir quarter is underway with a fair catch a the 30 yd line and that's where Langsto Hughes will go on offense to start thi third quart only one yard separating thes two teams in the total offense in th first half and only one point separatin the two teams on the scoreboard a Christian Langford brings his team bac out here to begin the second half both teams didn't have t play a lot of plays in that first hal Langston Hughes only 23 plays so the should be fresh and rearing to go here i this second half Wiggins will not ge get the hand off instead it's an RP read and the ball goes to Javari Jones o the pass from Langford and Jone back pedaling down the field get across the 50 nice job there playactio fake been able to run the ball in th first half now getting the ball to Jaba Jones here little RPO game out in the ope space nice job of corralling that bal making a man miss there to pick u those big J big chunk yards ends up being 27 yd game for Jabari Jones again Douglas County o that play trying to tackle the footbal rather than the football player short gain by Wiggins a he gets down to the 39 yd line littl counter pull out to the outside wit Harris and Glover creating space there fo Wiggins to get downhill both teams as w talked about established the Run the can get three or four yards or carry ca they finish drives as key as they go into this second half quantavius wigin six offer including Georgia State Miami of Ohio an new Mass Panthers head coach your forme teammate Del McGee was down on the fiel prior to the game taking a look at al the talent he was excited to be in th building he he said he had to come over an it was just too much talent in thi game you know you might not be able t catch all the four and three stars bu it's a lot of good talent to take righ over a couple of miles to Georgia Stat stadium and they'll have their hom opener tomorrow night 7:00 agains Chattanooga I'll be calling that game o ESPN plus hope you'll join us for that third down and four ball i at the 37 yd line Langford going to swing i out here to Baker baker has the firs down Carson Baker skipped through a tackl and still on his feet down to the 10 y line Carson Baker exhibiting grea balance picks up 27 similar is the firs half here just clean throw and catc between quarterback and running bac open field nice stiff arm right ther balance all the things you would expec Carson Baker to have in his bag of tricks h showed on that play they're leadin rusher in the first half six carries fo 47 yards dantrell Glover goes to th sideline there Mammoth left tackle migh have lost his helmet and had to go t the sideline can this lsen H offense finis the drive that is key early in this gam to establish their focus and finis this drive first and 10 ball goes t gleeton first time he's touched the ball tonight and the Speedste Maurice Glon inside the 10 yd line coac Williams says that maybe the fastest gu in the state is gleeton right here jus a speed option read option to th outside look at the foot speed right there t get to the corner out running Jayle Brayson he's just now catching up on his football spent the summe competing in the junior Nationals an Langston Hughes gets in the end zone for th touchdown but there is a flag out on the play going to have two flag personal foul there at the end a littl jawing between some players Helm's off physical run to get th touchdown and Coach Boone signifying he want to just take the extra point still waiting for th officials to tell us what it's all about Johnny White wants to kno too all right we got two fouls o the play we got illegal substitution o the defense that penalty bein forced on the kickoff then we got a dead bal personal foul on the offense that penalt also being forced on the kickoff s that all came well the substitution cam before the play it seems like tha would would ex out any anyway they're going t count it as a touchdown the touchdown i going to stay and I'd like to get som clarification on the sequence of thos penalties right there because the substitutio is a pre- snap penalty not a pre-ap in tha it's a procedure or a shift but it i happened before and during the play an then the personal foul was after the pla as Brock puts the p through an Langston Hughes has a 14-6 lead Wiggin takes it in and the Panthers score on thei first possession of the third quarter football Fridays i Georgia on GPB is brought to you in part b siga Healthcare siga

Douglasville 10:04 to go here in the third so Mat the explanation on the penalties i is it is an option of when you'd like t enforce it both times and so the firs option on the illegal substitute tion the waited and took the second option ther then once again the dead ball fou they wait for the kickoff and so fiv forward 15 back and that's where we ar gotcha so they'll kick from the 35 or the 30 40 you're having me do mat on a Friday man it's going to be th 30 it was a six playay 70 yard Driv the governor's Red Ribbon campaig scoring drive for Langston Hughe they're now at eight to point eight point they've scored two touchdowns an Douglas County has kicked two field goals her tonight good execution on that driv play action fake get the ball to the back in the in the flat real quick and and le him pick up some yards a little differen wrinkle than the first half for langso Hughes so Alex Brock who just kicke the Pat is going to kick this one off an sends it into the End Zone on the bounce and so Douglas Count will come out to the 20 yd line to star their first possession of the thir quarter coach white talked about hi team executing between 20s now he' has that pressure of doing it trying t get back into this game running the bal has not been a problem from Dougla County it's just a little particulars whe they get into the Red Zone can they clea that up well we saw Langston Hughes the cleaned up their issues they were abl to drive the length of the field and no stall inside the Red Zone and put i in the put it in the end zone bord five of 11 passing for 48 yds in the firs half [Music] and the handoff goes to Lindle and Demarcus Lindley is going to ge about three yards on the play you can see a littl chippiness in that last drive and this firs play here of the second half as well that physical play start to change the attitude a lot of pushin and shoving up front yeah that wa Antonio Jones number 51 in there on tha tackle and you could hear the official they're yelling at him you know let' let up let up let up second down and seven little more spread here DJ Bordeaux hard counting trying t get the defense to declare pass whipped out here complete and knocked down at th 25 yd line catch made by James Johnson nice thir Bryce Barne coming up from that linebacker positio forcing Johnson to the inside nic tackle there by Griggs Z Griggs th middle linebacker real linebacke always around the ball yeah it's interesting he' been offered by Arizona connectio between the coaching staff and thei coaching staff and looking for som smaller type linebackers not you know not th big 230 240 guys the 195 guys who go some speed and so Griggs picks up an offe from the Arizona wild cats it's going t be third down here bordeau out there on the edg and the turn back inside gets him th first down first catch of the seaso for Dre reading just throwing catch her between BAU and reading trying to work to the outside soften up this defense they been King on th Run game this time just getting on th edge picking up the first down bordeau the 59 or make tha reading the 5965 Jor wide receiver firs and 10 hand off goes to Marcu Lindley and Lenley going to get wrapped u and dropped short gain on the play that was Quon Pitts th senior defensive end making the tackl one thing about uh DJ Bardo on thos read options he's going to have t come off of that point just a little bi try to see if he can get the eyes o those defensive ends to follow hi take a little pressure off of Lindle having to make those cut backs 11 carrie 58 yards for Linley tonight he's up ove 400 yds rushing for the season Bordeaux pump fake bein chased got to get it out of there run out of there and picks up the firs down Bordeaux had three guys al around him is's able to pick up the firs down but there is a flag laying on th field back at the 33 in that vicinity of holdin back there by the white hat everywhere you want to see flag down just improvising there wa Bordeaux trying to find that open area right here good initia pocket trying to step up left in jus grabbing right there holding offense 10y penalty from previous spot replay secon down I think it was the the left tackl the sophomore left tackle Joshua samel Josh samel 68 sophomore got to keep thos knees bent when you're that tall guys ar going to try to work that rip mov underneath you those long arms and sometime get outside of the frame 45 yds and penalties called on the Tigers bordo in the middle nic catch by Aaron Gregory knee never hit th ground or did it and the ball is out a the 50 let's see who's on top of i the Panthers say they have it still waiting to get a signa from the officials as to whether h was down or not and Aaron Gregor kind of casually felt like he was dow on the ground never really fought fo the ball kind of walked away from it nice throwing and catch good jo stepping up beautiful arm there by BA taking the hit knee was down knee was dow early but right there if you'r Gregory you still have to keep possession o that ball they ever want to leave i up to the official first and 10 righ up the middle Jakari streer 20yd burs to the 30 explosion right there th young man's Street are 59 170 right up th heart on left side the vision look at th kick out block big hole to ru through this kind of explosion in th secondary is just not what you want if you'r the Panthers Keon Spencer perhaps a touchdown saving tackle righ there and I think Spencer's the one stil sitting down after making that tackle you can see streer kin of got lost in the shuffle of those bi bodies kind of hiding behind that bi offensive line there Julius Dumas 64 i middle my as well that might be a cramp fo Spencer he got up and started to run an then went back down again hopefully that's all it is looks like he'll be able t walk off the field under his own power jari streer the Speedster of th group right there just running tough downhill that height you can ge lost behind the big offensive lin pops out of there with a big chunk pla for his offense streer had seven carrie for 46 yards in the first half no eight for 65 in the game seventh play coming u Bordeaux three for three 35 yds passin on the drive and once again Dougla County moving the ball well between th 20s can they finish the drill streer man he got sho down in a hurry by Javon Beckford nice job of readin that play by Beckford working down th line of scrimmage undiz but is good a getting off blocks watch how he come underneath makes that play good job gettin into streer legs and getting him dow second down and 10 streer Again running har streer down to the 25 yd Line running into and partiall over Bo Jacobs pass there as well ru there by streer just getting up fiel taking advantage of The Blockin sometimes just let the o line do your job fo you picking up five yards streer carries 70 yards he's been a big part o this drive as has been bordeaux's arm brings up third down an five critical third and five right here this is where they'v stalled in the past in the first half streer stays in ther running back they've been going with him th hot hand Bordeaux is's going to pas delivers incomplete and a flag ou Gregory was the Target looks like we migh have a DPI on Bo Jacobs oneon-one match up at th bottom of your screen Gregory against anyone in one-onone situation it's a good choice by Bordeaux protection he sees th the hot route to the outside and right there just go there early on the back pass inter defense half the distance to the goal gets first down hey and a great job by Langford or pardon me a grea job by Bordeaux on that play to ge that ball out of there cuz he took a hi as he delivered felt the pressur coming off of that slot taking the hi stepping into the throw first and 10 streer runs right into th teeth of that defense bass and dantrell lover that meanness that Glove likes to display offensively as shown and prove this year so far for lsten Hug defensively and they're going to need tha from him he brings the size and the powe to just destroy plays inside committe to Georgia during the summer ove 18 other offers including Florida Stat and Georgia Tech that young man i in tremendous shape he's playin both sides of the line of scrimmage tonigh and playing well at a high leve coach s's up there at Georgia quite sur is trying to make sure he stays on th offensive line Second down and bord beckford's got him and drops him at the 1 but you saw the strength of Bordeau right there to carry the defensive linema for a couple of yards 62190 impressive sizes Bard right there Javon bford workin underneath didn't like what he saw just trying to will himsel to the end zone finisher drive here i you're Douglas County Beckford bee offered by Georgia State UAB and Jackson State it's third down and seven hand off goes to Lindley Lindley the mor powerful back from a build standpoint that i streer and he gets it down close to th five maybe the six it's going to b fourth down let's see what they do her once again getting off the bloc there was bford working underneath th tackle big decision here for Douglas Count in this situation we've seen them Mis on a field goal hit a couple righ now keeping offense on the field D DJ BAU always danger scrambling in this situation fourth down and [Applause] three trying to get the defens to declare no pressure coming fro the slot at the moment by the defense play clock down to four hand of to Lenley Lindley down to the one converts on fourth down set him up first and goal to go nice job here just readin the defensive end getting it to you big back getting down heel i Lindley first and goal Lindley gets it agai and Lindley big bear hug by Glover and touchdown wow what a bull battl right there between Lindley and Glove kind of a Greco Roman wrestling matc right there and Lenley won it Glove trying to keep him out of the end zon grabbing him by the ways here good jo working down the line of scrimmag Lenley just keeping those legs driving jus could not find the leverage to pul him out of the end zone in time and we hav a player down down there that's u Jaylen lint pardon me he's 26 white that's going to be Griggs GGG got hurt linebacker looks lik he's down maybe cramping hopefully so you're going fo two here right take the momentum swin and go for two in this situation early on way at your line is blocking u front Lenley is running behind his pads DJ bordo always dangerou in this situation to pull the ball of the edge how about this thir quarter both these teams they went to th locker room at halftime Wayne I'm sure th coaches talked him about finishin drives Langston Hughes comes out an goes 70 yards for the touchdown and the Douglas County answers with an 80 yar touchdown drop focus and finish you'v done all the work you're getting down th field you just got to get the bal into the end zone right out on the fiel trying to get his players going and look like d lover as well is down so they got them both up o their feet and this is big right no because Glover comes off that defensiv line as they get ready to run two-point conversion yeah he's th penetrator he's the big body that can hold the point in these situations no you go to a smaller body inside with bford maybe Edward trying to hold that point against thi big offensive line oh wow the they've said no touchdown yet so now it' going to be second down and goal and Lindley he does scor the touchdown this time I though they had signal touchdown the first tim this time there is no doubt about [Music] it so Lindley puts it in to mak it 14 to 12 Demarcus Lindley all abou the vision all about the ability t make the jump cut pressing the line o scrimmage here to your left jump cutting bac to the right

Hughes waven pits coming off of that in position right there I mean that's a gam saving or you game extending play I should sa by Quon Pitts right there because i Kelly picks up the first down it's game ove and it's the penetration of dun tri Glover 58 right there that makes Kell have to bounce that ball to the outsid into the arms of Pitts not sure wh Lenley wouldn't be in in that kind o situation for do County this will be th first punt of the night for the Tiger John couple of other updates down i south Georgia winners tonight kro bi Brooks County over Worth County Mille County a
