Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yukon won the toss to third and air Force went
three and out, and then a very short punt by
the normally dependable Luke Freer, and you kind of had
it first and ten at the air Force forty. It
started with a wide receiver screen twenty yards of Skylar bell,
a big third and one conversion run by Cam Edwards,
and then third and goal at the ten. It was
(00:21):
the Yukon quarterback who called his zone number. Fernando takes
a snap, looks down the middle. He's going to keep it,
run it to the five. He's going for the corner,
dives for the pilon. He's gonna be short. I don't
all they gave him the touchdown touchdown Connecticut. This probably
will be reviewed. Finnyano reached out for the pylon. If
(00:44):
he got it, he barely scraped it, which he did,
and replay confirmed it. Seven plays, forty yards and two
thirty nine, but zach Chrishnitz's snap was high, Yukon couldn't
convert and it was six to nothing. Air Force down
on their second possession. Ten plays, seventy nine yards, nine runs,
one pass, lots of Owen Allen, one pass to Bruin
(01:08):
Fleischmann to set up first and goal at the ten,
and then two plays later it was the other fullback,
Dylan Carson, that got air Force on the board.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Let's see what Yukon can do defensively.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
They give it up the middle as posting the pile
towards the end zone, and in is a touchdown. I
think it's Carson, but I'm gonna wait to see that. Yes,
it is Dylan Carson with the touchdown. A six yard
run up the gut and air Force strikes right back
to get the touchdown to cap a ten play, seventy
five yard drive in five forty one and we're tied
(01:42):
at six point after minutes seven to six. Third rushing
touchdown of the season for Carson. Yukon's very next play,
their first play from scrimmage, something we hadn't seen all year,
an interception for Joe Finnano send Murphy in motion to
the rights. They give it to No Fernano keeps it,
(02:02):
rolls left, throws it down the middle, deflected in the
air and intercepted the first this season. It's intercepted by
must Tell and air Force gets it at the forty
five yard line.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
One thing the.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Air Force Academy did well last week was deflect passes.
They got an inflection of the line of scrimmage and
Joe Finnano has thrown his first pick of the year.
Jackson Adams with the deflection. Mechs must tell with the interception.
So Air Force was in business, or so we thought.
They faced a fourth down and two at the Yukon
(02:34):
thirty six, and like they have all season, they went
for it.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Three down linemen, two wings.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Zarka is gonna keep it up the middle Spins don't think.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
He got it.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Huskies get a stop, part them again. McClain, dia Monde.
They're all there, Paul Is at the thirty five. They
needed to get to the thirty four and it was
a turnover on downs for Yukon. Air Force. Then after
a Yukon punt, had it first and ten at their
own nine. They went nineteen plays, ninety one yards and
(03:09):
eleven point fifty a twenty four yard pass play Zarka
to Kate Harris first in goal with the ten for
air Force. They ran it a few times, threw had
a stop running to the right on third and goal
and then fourth and goal at the two.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
The play that changed the game. Allen in the.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Backfield, it's gonna be a keeper. Sarka doesn't get in
the end zone, offended by Malachi McClain, and the Huskies
get a home. Now, that's not a pass play because
we didn't have an exciting Yukon pass play all day.
But I'm gonna call that not the dime of the game,
but the play of the game, brought to you by Dimebank.
(03:53):
Community Banking lives here. And on that play, Zarka got hurt,
hurt his hand, he never came back.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Mcclan with the tackle.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
So four roh two left in the second you at
the Yukon forty nine. Air Force again a key play.
Kate Harris was dropped for a nine yard loss. Eventually,
Air Force took it to the Yukon thirty six and
Reagan Tubbs tried a fifty three yard field goal to
extend Air Force's lead. All right, this will be from
(04:23):
the left, hash mark the punter, free of the holder,
snap spot kick and overen it is no gun short
and a little right. Gave it the old College try
but just not enough and you kind of have good
field position, and they did the two minute drill to perfection.
(04:44):
A wide screen, a wide receiver screen to Bell for nine.
Victor Rosa a nine yard run, then a fifteen yard
catch of the.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Air Force thirty one.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
A thirty one yard touchdown pass play to Ramelo Murphy
was negated by a procedure call. The Husky's had to
settle for three to take the lead at the halftime,
Chris Freeman from forty eight yards thirty two seconds. They're
going a half good snap spot kick on the way
and over end.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And Yukon leads nine to seven.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
As Chris Freeman bangs in a forty eight yard field goal.
He's now nine for eleven from distances of forty to
forty nine yards. So at least they have points and
a lead late in the second all right, and that
gave you kind of a nine to seven lead at
the half. Start with second half highlights, yu Kond got
it first and they marched right down the field. Cam
(05:39):
Edwards opened with a thirty six yard with a run
right for thirty six on first and ten, and then
a big third down conversion Shamar Porter with a catch
thirty one yards of the Air Force ten set up
first in goal and on second and goal from the eight,
it was mister Edwards that who started the drive with
a big run, capped it with a touchdown, makes a snap,
(06:00):
gives it left to Edwards, cuts back into five kicks
off a tackle, He's in the end zone. Touchdown connecticuts
Cam Edwards big drive the start. The third is eleventh
touchdown of the season on that ground. Yukon goes seventy
nine yards and six plays and takes the lead fifteen
(06:20):
to seven off the Edwards touchdown run. But air Force
responded with an eleven play fifty six yard drive. It
took six minutes off the clock, a couple of big plays,
Carson a fourteen yard run, Allen for twelve this with
a new quarterback as Kempra Hodges took over when Liam
Mazarka got hurts and it was a lot of ground gaining,
(06:43):
but the Huskies were able to stop them defensively and
hold Air Force to a field goal. But they had
field goal issues early that cost them a game. At
Navy snaps spot kick on the way and the kick
is good, so Navy answers with a field goal.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
They get to more than.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Six eleven plays fifty six yards in six to oh one,
Huskies would come right back with a field goal of
their own.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
As we move into the fourth quarter, was a lot
of Cam.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Edwards and then a ten yard pass played a Porter
that set up first and goal at the your first
and ten at the air Force thirteen. The Academy held
and Chris Freeman made a chippy all right, this will
be a twenty seven yard attempt just inside the left ash.
Snap's gotta be good. It's a little high, but manageable.
(07:33):
Gets down. Freeman kicks good, and the Yukon lead back
to nine at nineteen to ten to cap a twelve
play fifty six yard drive in five minutes and fifty seconds.
All right, Speaking of Cam, let's get to the drive
that really put this thing away for the Huskies. After
(07:54):
getting a hold, they start at their own sixteen eleven
fifty two to go, and Edwards was a big part
of it. Runs of seven and one, a four yard
pass to Bell on third and two good for four yards,
and then Edwards busted off a thirty one yard run,
then a ten yard pass to Bell where he got
a little bit shaken up there on second and nine,
and that made it first and ten at the thirty.
(08:16):
A nine yard pass to Edwards first and he was
wide open on the right sideline. Then it was running
Edwards ten yards, six yards and here five for the score.

I believe Adam is downstairs and Victor Rosa, who played
(09:18):
a big part in the field goal drive just before halftime,
is with Adam.

working on bringing him over for a couple more questions
to ask them what kind of pizza is mag his
hands are full, hold on one. I'm gonna throw it
back to you for a second. All right, he's navigating,
all right.
