DEF
6:08

OFF
4:25
1-10: QB keeper but he could not outrun Left DE
2-6: Bubble screen goes nowhere
3-6: Bad decision by QB to pass to out route as the outside receiver was open on the longer fly route; Pass Interference was not called as defender clearly had his right hand on #6 receiver’s back before ball arrived
4-6: Punt resulted in a “targeting” call which was legit; Returner interference should not have been called as Maybin was at least 1 yard away when ball was caught

3-18: Center misses easy block on NT who gets pressure on QB; incomplete pass to RB
2nd Quarter

DEF
14:53
1-10: Left DT gets turned around = poor effort, Right DT allows the cut block to push him back 2yds and he takes bad angle on RB who goes by him, Right DE scrapes down the play but rather than pushing up he drifts back and allows himself to get blocked by TE but Right DE still makes the tackle 6 yds downfield, Right DE penetrates at a slant angle inside but over runs the RB and takes himself out of the play, Left OLB blitzes the outside gap and has a shot at the RB who runs out of his poor arm tackle, Strong Safety blitz gets picked up by FB, MLB covers for blitzing SS and is out of the play, Right OLB fights off a poor block by OL and makes tackle on RB along with an unblocked Right Corner, I never saw what the FS did
2-4: Right Corner gets blocked by TE, Right DE gets
blocked by Left OT, Right OLB gets slightly blocked by Right OG but still makes
the tackle after a 1st down is gained, MLB gets blocked by Center
and is too late to make the tackle on a run to the outside left.
1-10: Right OLB has no clue where the ball is, Right DE
gets sucked in and misses the end around by the receiver, the Slot Corner
releases the motion man to the FS as he should, FS is too late picking up the
end around, Right Corner rather than engaging the end around WR decides to run
backwards and give up ground
2-1: Right DE fights off his block to make end around
tackle, Right Corner avoids Upback blocker and makes the end around tackle but
WR end around gains a 1st down
1-10: Offensive Left Guard falls down as he was trying to

run up the middle but makes a bad tackle as RB runs out of his arms, Left DE
Left DT and Right DT all do their jobs by getting some penetration, MLB guesses
wrong gap and gets blocked, Left OLB is too far from the play to make a
difference due to alignment, Right Corner and Free Safety do nothing
2-4: Right corner in man to man gets run off by WR, FS SS
and Left Corner are too far aligned out of the play, Left DE and Right OLB are
also too far aligned out of the play, Left DT Right DT and Right DE just push
back on their blockers and make no effort to find the ball, MLB fights off
Upback blocker and makes tackle along with unblocked Left OLB
3-1: Right DE gets double teamed, Right DT and Left DT
don’t really make a great pass rush in 1v1 blocking, Right DE gets the most
meaningful pass rush, Left Corner releases motion WR but doesn’t pay attention
to RB out of the backfield as an outlet, Right OLB finds the crossing route of
the motion WR and times his hit right when the pass gets there to break up the
play causing 4th down after an incomplete pass
4-1: Man to Man with Corners on outside, Free Safety over
the top, Right OLB gets blocked, MLB is responsible for RB out of the backfield
on a short pass that gains 2 yds and a first down…MLB just couldn’t get there
in time but really more of a good play call than bad defense, Left OLB went
with the other RB which was his responsibility
1-10: Both DT’s stuff the play and MLB fights off block
to stuff play too and makes tackle on RB up the middle but extensive pushing by
OL and RB gets more yards than where original contact occurred
2-5: Unblocked MLB makes great tackle on RB run up the
middle
3-2: Right DT fights off double team and runs into the QB
who is ball carrier but Right DT has no clue QB has the ball, Left DE does what
he should and that is to scrape down but runs into the “no clue” Left DT and
gets blocked by his own man, Right DT and Right DE both get blocked and taken
out of play, Right MLB gets blocked and pushed way back out the play, Left MLB
gets blocked but fights off his blocker and makes tackle only after 1st
down
1-10: Play action pass, Right Corner 1v1 with TE, Left
Corner 1v1 with Outside WR, Left Slot Corner blitzes and MLB covers Slot
Receiver 1v1, Free Safety is free, Left OLB does a twist stunt to rush up the
middle, Right OLB is in zone coverage (reading his RB key who never releases),
that leaves Right DE matched up 1v1 with Tailback who makes a catch over the
Right DE in coverage and scores a TD.
Even Jesse Palmer (announcer) mistakenly thinks it was a LB covering the
TB, App St exploited a weakness in UT’s pass coverage by isolating a TB
mismatched with a DE…bad coaching and poor execution by the Right DE in
coverage although I can’t really blame a DE for trying to cover a TB
TD, missed XPT (App St)
KO: App St kicker kicks it out of the
endzone
OFF
8:53
1-10: RB gets great blocking by OL but for whatever
reason decides to bury his head into the back of the pulling LG instead of
running off his right side to daylight…it basically tells me Hurd is more of a
tunnel vision runner and would rather give up on a play and go straight ahead
no matter what then using his vision to see what’s open around him, but he
still picks up 8yd in spite of his bad decision making with great OL run
blocking on this play
2-10: Run by RB off the right side, the Slot WR totally
misses his block against the Left OLB who makes the tackle for a short gain but
a 1st down
1-10: Right and Left Tackles don’t block anyone on this
running play where the RB slips by himself in the backfield but manages to pick
up a few yards on his own, Center misses his first block but manages to cut the
MLB downfield
2-8: Right Tackle just lowers a shoulder into his blocker
for a brief second, Right Guard does just enough to disrupt the NT, Center
tries to get to MLB but can’t hold him off and MLB makes the tackle on RB along
with one of the 2 deep unblocked Safeties, Left Guard and Left Tackle both do
an excellent job of blocking their responsibilities
3-3: Quick hitch route and good blocking and good throw
by QB to RB (split out like a WR) gives UT a 1st down on a 4yd pass
and catch play
1-10: Right DT makes the lead tackle on a QB keeper, Left
DE had the RB covered on a possible handoff so as to make QB keep the ball, the
reason the Right DT was available to make the tackle is that the Center missed
his block
2-11: Right Tackle doesn’t block anyone and leaves the
Left DE available to scrape down the line to make the tackle on the RB, Right
Guard doesn’t stay with his block which forces the RB back to the right where
the Left DE is waiting for him, Center misses his block, Left Tackle and Left
Guard do just enough on their blocks to keep their defenders from engaging the
RB
3-11: Center and Left Guard don’t block anyone and Right
Guard falls down while trying to block a LB (so Right guard doesn’t block
anyone either), all of that helps App St get a great pass rush on QB who
scrambles to his right and throws to a wide open Left Flanker dragging to the right
side of the play about 4 yards from line of scrimmage, but a penalty was called
on UT for the Right Tackle who held the DE as QB was scrambling
HOLDING PENALTY (UT)
3-21: RB screen play, inside WR misses his block who
misses the tackle on the RB but does enough to slow him down in order for the
safeties to come up and make the tackle well short of the 1st Down

St 8yd line
DEF

right over him to RB for a screen pass, but Left DT was just right there to
make tackle as he was getting blocked
4-6: Punt and fair catch at UT
49yd line
OFF
2:57
1-10: On a 3 man pass rush by App St, the Right Tackle
blocks no one, the TE and RB cannot block their 1 Def Lineman who pressures QB,
Left Guard, Center, Right Guard and Right Tackle all do a decent job of
blocking 2 Defensive Linemen, great “almost” catch by inside Slot WR on a low
thrown ball by QB actually hits the ground after replay
2-10: Left Tackle seals off Right OLB, Left Guard blocks
no one, Center gets a great block as does Right Guard who pulls to the left,
Right Tackle also gets a good block, Upback misses his block on inside LB who
makes tackle
3-5: OL gets great pass blocking and QB throws a great
pass to the inside Slot WR on a 10yd curl route for a 1st down
1-10: Left Tackle misses his block on Right DE and just
falls down and Right DE makes tackle on RB, none of the rest of the OL actually
stay with their block for more than half a second and all DL were ready to stop
the RB if need be
2-10: Quick hitch route to pick up 7yds on the quick pass
by QB
3-3: All out blitz by App St
gets QB flushed out of pocket and makes bad decision to just throw it up for
grabs and App St gets an interception
DEF
1:24
1-10: Front 7 all do their jobs and stuff the run up the
middle for 2yd gain
2-8: Right DT on an outside twist stunt darts in the
backfield making the first contact on RB for a gain of only 1yd as the clock
expires for the 1st half…on
the play, there were actually 8 men on the line of scrimmage and there was no
penalty called (there is a Tailback behind the QB not seen in picture)
END OF HALF!
