00:00It's lining it up. We're just about set in Vegas
00:08Underway and it will be Thomas getting the first touch and he had a crease but a good job by the Trojan special team
00:17That's Meyer will throw quickly and that's Kyra Lacey first play of first down for LSU
00:22So like we said you're gonna see him right rely on that running game
00:26That's on a little half ball, he'll fire again and Lacey, I think he got a foot down again, so two plays
00:38They're Alexander and they stuck with the rest see they protect him and they get it out to the tight end Mason Taylor Taylor
00:45All the way down to the 20 yard line and he's got another first down for the Tigers did as he takes the all-american
00:51Tackle instead of blocking right there. He's gonna slide to the outside
00:54That corner is picked up nicely gives him time goes the opposite direction to big Mason Taylor
01:00Who's now in his third year makes a great now first and ten just outside the 20
01:05Back to the ground and running with the ball is Jackson and Caleb Jackson showing up
01:11I checked that 18 not 28 is the goal for Ness Meyer
01:17He'll throw the slant he's got it complete when his receiver will be stopped short
01:21It's Kyle Parker and it'll be fourth down
01:27Pressure coming there on Ness Meyer. He gets away and he has to throw it away and the Trojans get a stop
01:38Moss to throw he has a man down the middle finds his tight end and late McCree makes his second catch
01:44We just I think his defense has really responded to him very well. We'll see how they do tonight
01:52As he's setting it up and there is Brad's branches electric
01:57He's across the 45 and dances out of battle just short of midfield
02:01listed at 6 7 3 20
02:04Bigger than that. I made a big block there and lost buys a little time
02:10Did he pull that down Kyron Hudson, oh my goodness what a catch
02:15Let me throw my hand up and give it a shot that's between two defenders then if they loses the ball
02:21I'm sure they're gonna take a look at that to see if he held on to it. I say just
02:27One hand ball comes out two hands I'm pulling for him. Hold on to that ball
02:34Play stands in a 24-yard gap
02:37He's got the ball he's got the ball he's got the ball he's got the ball he's got the ball
02:40He's got the ball he's got the ball he's got the ball he's got the ball
02:4424-yard gain from Kyron Hudson kid out of modern-day and watch the left arm forearm
02:49I think it prevents the ball from hitting the ground the right hand had firm control
03:00The first touchdown of the season for USC
03:06Starts as a double team watch him stay on that block and the back gets right behind it
03:12Look at our full-length stand for LSU against LSU
03:15Now that 1,400 pounds shouldn't be confused with the weight Lincoln Riley feels to get this thing going
03:21USC after a disappointing year last year and two times it kind of gets it out to the flat there
03:27Kirk had to pick up a few inches for the first down and Williams will get him more than that
03:32He's out close to the 45, you know in the Holly's point Eric is one of the guys who's gained some weight
03:37We've seen him play linebacker at barely 200 pounds
03:40Quit completion in Zabian Thomas
03:45Street closed tonight. They expect to get him back later in the season Nussmeier back to work another completion this one to CJ Daniels
03:52It's a first down for LSU
03:56Lacey in motion Nussmeier looking that way now on the wheel throws it up Lacey caught it
04:02Did he get down this time he did touchdown?
04:11These defense you want to get a safety on your best receiver and that's what they do with that motion
04:16You get the safety down. Look who has to try to cover that best receiver balls there
04:20He's in position just doesn't make the play doesn't finish on the play
04:24He was in position, but the ball gets away from him almost cut away from Lacey
04:29But he does get a hold of it and gets a foot down for that touchdown. Remember the opening drive Lacey was
04:36Offense number two
04:40Like foul of the game the foul will be enforced on the kickoff Akariya Branch
04:44You really don't want to give him the extra room to work with
04:52Here is Branch
04:54Looking for room
04:59So he had to be couldn't want to play by the kickoff man to get him college game and that penalty by Lacey
05:06Gave Branch a chance to have more space Pat McAfee if he's watching very proud of that kicker's effort
05:13RWLasVegas.com
05:16They kicked off return from Branch Moss tries to pay it off immediately and he does he's got Deuce Robinson for the big game
05:24and the sack
05:27They've backed all the way up to the 24. Here's Moss this time a screen
05:32Flips it out. There's Branch. You have the kickoff return
05:35Zachariah Branch gets down to the four-yard line, man
05:39Is he fun to watch? Ball away from it. It sure looked like that was a really good play by
05:44Stamps a 22-yard field goal attempt is true for land ways
05:48But these two defenses the last couple of years have been very sieve like and not the case
05:54They're working for it in this one another strike from Nussmeier to Lacey
05:58He's inside the 35 and down to the 32. He is swinging darts and 36 Ramos
06:08And we are tied at 10
06:14Moss
06:16Getting some heat they tried to send it up to the back
06:19One tackle, but not the second one a lot of white shirts there
06:22You have to be able to try to get after Miller Moss
06:29Right down the middle and right on the money finds McKay lemon
06:32That'll be a first down to the 36 and based on pregame warm-ups
06:37They're right on the edge of field goal range already vacation until 15 seconds on the play clock
06:43Go on the ground Woody Marx has a seat much inside the 20 knees knocked down clock will stop to move the change
06:4912 seconds left SC still with the timeout
06:52I
07:02Said I'm not real happy with the split decision in o3 even 21 years later
07:08and change things up after that and
07:11There was a miscommunication and that could have very easily been disastrous Ashton Stamps was there
07:17Empty backfield no loss
07:20Got time firing down a minute this time. No one knocks it away from Ford Ford across midfield
07:26LSU territory before he's finally knocked down
07:30Jordan Allen stops him and a huge play from off to Ford picks up 41
07:36Zachariah branch
07:38Zachariah branch actually I think was the intended target they end up going to for Ford cut in front of that
07:44And
07:48Moss
07:49Throwing the fade throwing deep and flags coming everywhere
07:53Is there going to get PJ Woodland the youngster the freshman from Hattiesburg, Mississippi for interference and never located the football
08:02It's tough thing to do especially for a true freshman
08:05Going up by the way, this young freshman is going to be a superstar in the SEC. He's a great player this time
08:11Just out of position you see his head never turns around good job by Deuce Robinson
08:21Moss under heat down he goes
08:26Pressure in there coming from Savio
08:28And he should be the first one to go over and high-five the secondary because of the coverage that they played zone coverage
08:34Good job of taking away all the potential on the miss he had
08:3829 this one from 35
08:40And this time he does not flinch and he puts USC on top clear that aided that previous field goal drive for the Trojans
08:48Nussmeier over the middle. There's Mason Taylor. Taylor's got the catch again. They'd be next weekend in Tampa man to be able to play
08:57Look who's loose. It's John Emory back at LSU and the
09:02Highly talented high school running back who's had a during Jones. Yep, Holly. Tell him. Thank you
09:07That was awesome to hear from him
09:08But what a good job here getting upfield by Emory
09:11Waited patiently for the box to clear and then right away being is able to get
09:16North and south with that speed and what a great job to see him
09:20You know, he had the ACL last year against Florida's worked his way back and you know, they need running back with you
09:28Back to Emory. Why not Emory slamming inside the 20. He's got an LSU first down it would appear
09:38Well, he's got Aaron Anderson Anderson has a path to the end zone and LSU's back on top late in the third
09:47On these third and shorts to cushion which opens up and man coverage a quick out the timing is perfect by Nussmeier
09:54But after he makes his throw watch the collision by two USC defenders
09:57I mean, there's a chance they're very very good chance that he's not going to get to the end zone
10:01Maybe a chance to try to keep him short of the first down
10:04But after the ball is thrown nice ball nice catch and then the two defenders run into each other makes it very easy by four
10:14They fake a little trickery and the balls on the ground and man-o-man is USC
10:20fortunate to come up with that as Elijah page
10:23was
10:26Living in motion
10:28Moss throwing the glass finds McCree and late McCree's had some big plays tonight
10:34Makes the grab Jordan Allen the blitz the blind linebacker on one side see his eyes kind of looking out this way
10:40What a call by Lincoln Riley to then slip the tight end right behind him
10:44So the action of the receiver lemon draws the eyes of the defense practice came back quickly
10:50So good to have the pads on he's made an impact and I bought boxes feeling all kinds of heat and how in the world
10:56Did he get that in there Jacoby Lane with a grab?
10:59It's off. They brought 40 again on his blitz and he gets in clean
11:03Well, I thought he did a very least get a hand on this
11:05He's falling backwards to make this throw and he splits the corner in the safety to big number eight
11:12It's that last carry second and six
11:14pressure off the edge
11:18Still up there and diving for an almost intercepted this is with these backers
11:23So they bring Perkins they bring Penn and then Womack off the edge. Okay, they keep trying to put Mason Murphy
11:29They keep trying to isolate him
11:39For down territory
11:41But into the backfield to make the stop is with weeks and now it'll be fourth and long and it may still well be four
11:47Territory, but now it's a difficult fourth down right now SC needs nine yards on fourth down and LSU territory
12:02Went weeks again had it in his hands and it was stripped away
12:07It continued to be who he is and trust his players
12:10Brings that blitz Davion Thomas eventually Savion Jones eventually came free to knock it loose
12:16It looked like weeks had possession just for maybe a step or two
12:21That's that's gonna be the question here Kirk occasionally. He could be a superstar and just continue to get more and more reps
12:29That's Meyer on second down fires underneath they've got it complete and out there to a tight end
12:35They're very high on Camorra young Pimpton quit
12:38He's
12:44Hit in the backfield he didn't get there
12:47Both of these defenses standing up and making stops in the fourth quarter
12:51Which would give the Trojans or LSU another stoppage should they need it Miller Moss back to work firing?
12:58Got Kyron Hudson Hudson into LSU territory inside the 45 just went over 300 yards for the night
13:04He's trying to give his team the lead pressure off the edge, but they get loose
13:08It's Woody March March bouncing off tacklers inside the 30 and down to about the 28-yard line
13:14Another explosive play for the Trojans inside the 30
13:21Free play I thought major burns offside Moss gonna try to make him pay
13:35Because he put it up and over the receiver let him run underneath it
13:40It's a heck of a job of using his body by Jacobi Lane there and it pushing off late because the ball's thrown over that
13:47Outside shoulder gets that late separation for the touchdown. What a throw by Moss with last year
13:56The toss
13:57Keep it on the ground as a big hit from the Trojan defense
14:01Stop him short of the first down these defenses play clock getting on top of Nussmeier gets it off
14:07He's to pick up the first down here. He's got a wide open Anderson and he's in the USA territory
14:12They're an Anderson knocked down inside the 30 and Nussmeier comes up with a huge play to Aaron Anderson
14:18It takes away Mason Taylor. That's what look at nuts fire. He's looking right here. He wants to throw Pete's taken away
14:24No problem keeps his poise looks backside and it eventually intend backfields empty
14:30That's Meyer stands in fires to the outside
14:34And it catches made by Xavier and Thomas for a first down look at it here. It is upper-bodied land
14:40No, does he have possession while that right foot is down?
14:45Elbow down. That's it. I think that's a catch Billy. It looks like to me elbow down said elbow down quickly
14:50You've got it. Yeah, first of all, the back foot was down in bow. Okay, that's what I was wondering first started to control
14:56Secondly, even if that wasn't he came down with the elbow first after further review
15:02The ruling on the field is confirmed first down
15:06Just as we thought in a sizable third down Trojans have one red zone stop against LSU the opening drive of the game
15:13can they get another flag flying Nussmeier throwing and
15:18Ball is broken up intended for Kyron Lacey
15:21Illegal shift offense number 18 and number two
15:25The penalties declined brings up fourth down. It looked like Kyron Lacey to me was
15:33On the way and right down the strip here in Las Vegas and we are tied at 21
15:4147 to go first half similar time
15:44At the easy completion out to marks marks up across the 25 to the 30
15:49He'll be stopped there clock continues to run is not doing anything crazy here
15:55LSU would like to get pressure to keep everything in front of them
15:58They're able to do so but that'll be a first down to call that green line down about the 36
16:03Where as he needs to get in Zachariah branch is open now branch goes down a little bit
16:09Get the first down they tried to do that in the first half to stop the clock and they didn't I'm sure they're thinking see if
16:15Moss can make up for it throws back to Kyron Hudson who smartly stepped out of bounds with 22 seconds to go
16:26Second down and 15 got to get it into field goal
16:29He's got to get it into field goal. He's got to get it into field goal
16:32He's got to get it into field goal. He's got to get it into field goal
16:36Second down and 15 got to get it into field goal range Moss throwing the Hudson Hudson takes a big hit
16:41But he got the hot what a catch again
16:45That's two spectacular catches and there's a flag down
16:48This may put them right on the doorstep for field goal range if it's targeted the result of the play is the first down
16:56personal foul targeting
17:05He just likes to make the crazy catch make it hard
17:10We saw man he's made two big catches now they called targeting of course
17:14they're reviewing it and replayed officials to make sure and
17:17That it stands after further review the ruling on the field of a catch is could it stands the ruling on the field of?
17:25Targeting is confirmed
17:27Number two is disqualified for the remainder of the game
17:31Half the distance to the goal automatic first down to the transfer from Georgia Southern
17:38Woody March might make it a move
17:42Talk about all the field goals and Woody March
17:46Rumbles into the end zone and USC is on top with eight seconds of play
17:51He follows the tight end and instead of being able to fill that hole still would have been a nice game
17:56But it wouldn't have been a touchdown. So he eyes are in the backfield
18:00Good job at the left side
18:02Predominantly pregnant on that left guard just drilling down in that big powerful
18:07LSU defensive 55 to 60 yards away from the line of scrimmage
18:12Nussbauer
18:13Throws an interception and that's how it's going to end Mason Cobb
18:18Picks it off and the Trojans will have a victory and what a way to christen
18:24USC
18:26Then with a victory over LSU here in Las Vegas
