The Walk of Champions!

The Most Exciting 25 Seconds in College Football!

Full version:

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:05:41

It's almost a packed house! XT, Mascoll, Collins and Helms are the captains tonight.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:05:59

Tigers will kickoff first. Owls will have the ball in front of The Hill.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:06:33

Gunn gets a touchback.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:06:59

It's LOUD in here already!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:07:34

Yikes 15 yard run on the first play.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:08:37

Freshman Khalil Barnes with a TFL! 3rd and 13 coming up.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:10:26

PICK-SIX WIGGINS!!! Thompson escaped the sack and rolled left out of the pocket, then Wiggins jumped the route!

TIGERS LEAD 7-0 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:16:42

WHEW! Tigers dodged a bullet. Barnes got beat deep for what should have been a TD, but luckily the pass was barely overthrown. 3rd down coming up!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:17:27

Barnes PBU! They're picking on the freshman, but he was ready that time. He also had the TFL on the last possession. Owls to punt!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:20:12

Complete to Antonio for 5 yards.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:20:26

Shipley runs for 4 more to make it 3rd and one.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:21:03

Complete to Antonio for a first down!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:21:53

Completion to Briningstool makes it 3rd and 4 at the 48.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:22:16

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:22:33

Cade runs for another first down!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:22:51

Shipley runs for 5 more.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:24:58

TD TYLER BROWN!!! First career score for the true freshman! Beautiful throw by Cade down the seam! Gunn missed the PAT off the upright, though.

TIGERS LEAD 13-0 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:31:33

Big 3rd and 17 coming up for Owls!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:31:45

Tigers force a 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:32:17

FAKE PUNT! Barnes missed a tackle, but Spector knocked him out of bounds short of the line to make. Tigers take over on downs!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:32:36

Mafah runs for a first down at the Owls! 17!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:32:59

Run by Mafah makes it 3rd and 7 at the 14.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:34:05

Ugh pocket collapsed and Cade throws it away. Gunn out to attempt a 31 yard field goal.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:34:28

Good grief Gunn misses from 31! Having another terrible game already.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:39:23

INT BARNES!!! Lol like I said, they are picking on the freshman! He has a TFL and a pick-six already. Barnes had the game-winning pick-six in the Orange and White Game!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:39:54

Tigers have 2nd and goal at the 7.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:40:57

TD BRININGSTOOL!!! First of the season for the tight end!

TIGERS LEAD 20-0 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:46:27

That's the end of the quarter! Owls will have 3rd and 21 at their 14 to start the 2nd. They're lucky the clock ran out so they didn't have to run the play right in front of The Hill.

TIGERS LEAD 20-0 AFTER ONE.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:51:21

Tigers force another 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:51:48

Brown shouldn't have fair caught that punt. He had room to run. Good field position though!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:52:15

Shipley runs for a first down!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:53:39

Ugh holding call on Leigh.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:54:05

Refs just missed an obvious targeting call. Shipley got hit helmet to helmet.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:54:39

Ugh Stellato just got clocked on a hospital pass over the middle. Hope he's not hurt again!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:55:15

Big 3rd and 13 coming up!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:55:40

Randall wide open for a first down! 28 yard completion to the 19!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 19:56:19

TD MAFAH!!! 19 yards for his 3rd TD of the season! Thank goodness, Gunn makes the PAT this time.

TIGERS LEAD 27-0 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:02:36

FUMBLE!!! Khalil Barnes having a game! He almost returned it for another score! Who needs Mukuba?? Lol

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:03:08

Ugh they reviewed the play, and the ball hit the sideline after Barnes ripped it out and before he recovered it. Huge break for the Owls!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:05:22

Big 3rd and 5 coming up at the Tigers' 35!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:07:46

Good grief Tigers drop an interception and are called for roughing the quarterback, giving the Owls and automatic first down. They've gotten two big breaks on this drive now! Will probably cost the Tigers a shutout.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:08:12

Thompson is still down on the field. The Owls are really gonna be hurting if he can't play.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:13:45

SACK PARKER!!! He keeps this up, the freshman is gonna steal Mascoll's starting spot!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:14:03

Tigers force a field goal attempt.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:14:18

NO GOOD!!! The shutout is in tact!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:15:01

Completion to Randall on a tip by Antonio! Lol someone ran the wrong route, and Antonio almost caused an incompletion.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:15:18

Tigers have first down at the Owls 33!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:15:43

Pass interference! First down at the 18!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:16:22

Yikes bad pass to Collins on a throw back. And he dropped it anyway.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:16:34

Cade runs for a first down at the 2!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:17:31

Shipley comes up short. 3rd and goal coming up!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:19:34

TD CADE!!! Quarterback sneak under center, and they push the pile over the goal line. Don't see that much anymore! Glad he didn't fumble it. Lol

TIGERS LEAD 34-0 WITH 3:25 LEFT IN HALF.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:23:03

Looks like Thompson won't be returning to the game. I hope for his sake it's not a torn ACL!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:23:56

Tigers force another 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:24:30

Tigers take over at their 26 with 2:35 left. They'll also get the ball first to start the second half!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:24:58

Complete to Briningstool for 6 yards.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:25:32

3rd and 7 coming up.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:26:37

Ugh Tigers go 3 and out.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:34:48

Big 3rd and 2 coming up at the 50 with 1:21 left in the half!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:35:26

SACK JP!!! Safety blitz forces a punt with under a minute left in the half!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:36:03

Tigers are out of timeouts, so they're only gonna have about 30 seconds left when they get the ball. I imagine Dabo will take a knee.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 20:38:05

Hand off to Shipley, and that's the end of the half! Tigers will get the ball first after halftime.

TIGERS LEAD 34-0 AT THE HALF.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:11:11

Offense goes 3 and out to start the half.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:14:10

D forces a 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:14:22

Ugh Tigers go 3 and out again.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:15:06

D forces another 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:15:51

Good grief Tyler Brown muffs the punt. So much for a perfectly executed game. 2 missed kicks and a muffed punt. I guess the freshman is human after all.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:17:27

Penalty makes it 2nd and 16 at the Tigers' 34. Let's hope they can maintain the shutout!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:18:07

Holding call! That makes it 2nd and 26 at the 44!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:20:13

It's 4th and 21! Defense may keep them off the board after all!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:20:49

INT WOODAZ!!! He almost had his second pick-six in as many games but tripped at the Owls 21!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:21:09

First big play in a boring third quarter! That woke up the crowd!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:26:13

Tigers are going for it on 4th and one at the Owls' 4!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:26:49

Looked like they got the first down, but they are going to measure.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:27:26

Ugh they are short by a chain link! Owls take over at their 4.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:28:56

Good grief Pride called for PI on a terrible call! He was beat but made a great recovery and didn't make any contact at all. That gets the Owls out of their own end zone.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:30:08

Big 3rd and 11 coming up at the 17!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:30:20

D forces another punt!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:34:53

Tyler Brown returns the punt 44 yards to the 26! That's how you redeem yourself!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:35:30

Completion to Tyler Brown for 17 yards to the 9!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:35:59

Cade runs for 7 more to the 2!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:37:13

TOUCHDOWN BROWN!!! Second of the game for the freshman on a slant!

TIGERS LEAD 41-0 IN 3RD.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:43:21

That's the end of the quarter! Owls will have first down at the Tigers' 31 to start the 4th. Subs are trying to keep the shutout!

TIGERS LEAD 41-0 HEADED TO THE 4TH.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:49:16

Ugh Owls pick up another first down. Looks like they're gonna blow the shutout.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:49:41

It's now first and goal at the 4. Let's see if the subs can come up with a goal line stand.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:50:25

Pride makes a good tackle on the QB at the one. 2nd and goal.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:51:29

It's 4th and goal at the 2, and Herman is going for it!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:52:40

There goes the shutout. Owls punch it in the end zone. Good for Herman not taking an easy field goal to avoid the shutout.

TIGERS LEAD 41-3 IN THE 4TH.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:56:15

Helms in at quarterback.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:56:36

Complete to Sapp for 4 yards.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 21:59:34

Complete to Stellato for a 1st down and a late hit penalty!

Thomas runs 19 yards to the 29!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:00:26

Haynes funs for another first down! Ball at the 13.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:01:45

Haynes runs for 6 more! First and goal at the 2!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:02:25

TD THOMAS!!! Quadzilla punches it in!

TIGERS LEAD 48-7 WITH 8 MINS LEFT.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:10:14

Owls have 3rd and 4 at the Tigers' 42.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:10:34

Ugh Owls run for a first down at the Tigers' 22. They may score again.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:14:56

First down Owls at the Tigers' 11.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:16:22

FUMBLE!!! Recovered by Patterson at the 20!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:19:03

Tyson is in at quarterback.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:20:03

3rd and 3 coming up after a couple runs by Adams.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:20:40

Incomplete to Clay Swinney. Tigers go 3 and out.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:21:31

Yikes Jack Smith shanks his punt. Guess that's why Swanson won the job!

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:25:15

Good grief Owls score on a trick play with a minute left! Lol I wrote that I expected to see a trick play or two but not in the last minute of the game! It was a perfect pass too.

TIGERS LEAD 48-14 WITH 1:03 LEFT.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:26:06

Nice kick return by Jarvis Green to the 36.

CUTrevor 2023-09-16 22:27:48

Pearman makes his debut at quarterback and runs out the clock.

TIGERS WIN 48-14!!!

I'll have post-game interviews, highlights and notes posted shortly!
