Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm not quite sure how to describe this one. It's
a win and they get to nine. I guess it's
all that matter is at the end. But boy, a
game that took nearly four hours, featured twelve hundred and
eighty seven yards of offense over a close to one
thousand yards passing, and in the end it comes down

(00:22):
to a missfield goal one of my t shots on
the eighteenth Twin Hills, big time hook and the Husky
survive forty eight forty five. I'm not sure where to
go here, but let's just make this easy. Let's go
and tell you how this game all came together, just
like a beautiful kitchen from Dean Cabinetry and Bolton, built
to impress from start to finish. And the start was

(00:45):
really good for Yukon. Way back when at three to
zero two and we kicked this thing off, it was
a weird route, left a skylar bell for forty yards
right away to the FAU thirty five cam edwards for
twelve to the twenty. Huskies couldn't get any further. Chris
Freeman on the kick the field goal and get Yukon
on the board.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Snap is good.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
The kick by Freeman is up and the kick is good,
and Ukon scores in its first possession, going from their
own twenty five yard line down to the twenty of
FAU when they score on a thirty nine yard field
goal by Chris Freeman.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Seven plays fifty four yards and two point fifty two Husky,
scoring the game's opening drive that put Freeman over one
hundred points for the season, as he is back to
back one hundred points seasons. He is at one oh
eight after one oh nine in twenty twenty four. FAU
then matches it at Easton Messer a ten yard catch
Dayshon Platt sixteen and twelve to Kyle boylst into the

(01:45):
Yukon thirty five entered Garrison Smith from forty nine to
tie things up.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
It's the kick, it's high end over end, and it
is good.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Split the uprights and f IU FAU guys, you gone
up in their first drive with a field goal.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
We're even at three apiece.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Longest field goal of the season for Smith nine plays
forty four yards and we were tired at three. Huskies
on the march again from their own twenty three to
nineteen yard past the Skylar Bell seven in seventeen to
the FAU twenty four where Bell was shaken up, but
he did return. Huskies faced a third and ten where
Finnano hit the former walk on John Knider for the

(02:27):
game's first touchdown.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
And Finnano prepares for the snap third and nine takes it,
looks down the field, throws up top, he has a man.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Nier, and Nier.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Makes the catch for a touchdown.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Our dime of the game.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
What a throw by Finnano, What a pattern by John Knider.
He rolls up and caught it in the right corner
for six.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
And our dime of the games brought to you by
Dime Bank Community Banking lives here. Seven plays, seventy seven yards,
two twenty and a ten to three Huskies lead. Second
TD of the season four nighter. Mike and Wayne talked
about this in the pregame. Fau goes for it on
fourth down a lot on fourth and one at the
yukon thirty eight aside with seam lost two yards and

(03:11):
a wide receiver screen, so the Husky's got the ball
back after a four yard mel Brown run. Back in
the lineup today, Finano and Schamar Porter hook up here.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
From the empty backfield. Man in motion is brown.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Fano looks to his right, throws in the flat to
Ramelo Murphy. He eludes a tackler and he's losing up
the right sideline and he is gone. Ramelo Murphy for Porter.
Pardon may it's number five, not number six. Porter eluded
a tackle at about the thirty yard line.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
And he skip roped all the way to the end zone.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Gave you kind of seventeen to three lead, and then
the defense made a play.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
The snap looks to his right. Now he try to
step up. They flush him, trying to run with it.
Nowhere to go. He's up the right side. He looks downfield.
He does throw downfield and its intercepting. Oh I want
to play.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Donovan Branch made that play.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
He first forced him out of the pocket and the
quarterback moved off to his right and Branch tracked him
down from then and he was hitting him as.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
He threw the ball. He forced that bad pass.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Malachai mcclan with the pick is first of the season,
coming off his dazzling effort last Saturday against Air Force
so Yukon from their own forty five. So Cam Edwards
run left for twenty three and then it was back
to the air for Joe Fignano m Huskies.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Man in motion Porter Vinano play action, looked back to
the left, throws man open tight end, not her Churchy,
not her Churchy. Touchdown on the left side. Great play
or is it Honig? It might be Honig? Now it
is Honig. Pardon me, Alex. Honick made the catch. His

(04:58):
Fignano rolled to was right and threw back to his
left for six.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
First touchdown pass for Honigs since the Delaware game in
Week three. At this point, Finiano had one hundred and
sixty four yards passing and three touchdowns and Yukon led
twenty four to three after one. But the Owls, well
as we all know, would come back. They answered plat
a fifteen yard catch eleven for Westcien to the Yukon
forty five, and then two plays later enter Easton Messer.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Quickly they go on a pitch right on a sweep
and a first down up the right sideline and all
the way down the.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
End zone for a score. Did he step on the sideline?
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
It looked like he did, but it looks like Eastern
Messer has scored on a sweep right here. On the
third play of the second quarter.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Seven plays, seventy five yards and two to oh three
quick strike ows their first TD of the day. They
get a stop after Joe Finnano lost the ball and
was sent for a loss. So back from the twenty
they overcome a here they come the Owls, I should
say thirty one yard pass play to a side was
seen to the Yukon forty two dom Henry for eight

(06:11):
on the ground before to get to the Yukon seventeen.
And then it was the quarterback that turned this into
a one touchdown game.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Belt Camp drops back to pass, got some time now
he's flushed, hes gonna roll to his left. On the move,
he's gonna run to the twenty of the ten and
leaps into the end zone for a touchdown. He went
horizontal and scored on the scramble and fau Is back

(06:41):
within one score.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Nine plays eighty yards and three h eight third rushing
touchdown for the transfer from Western Kentucky. The Huskies needed
to stop the bleeding with five point fifteen left and
the half fifteen yards to Nighter Edwards an eleven yard
run fifteen to lou Hanson Edwards a fourth and one
conversion at the ten, but the Huskies couldn't punch it in,
but they did get three from Chris Freeman.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Snap is good, the spot is good, and the kick
by Freeman is right down the middle, so U Khan converts.
The long drive took eleven plays in over four minutes,
and with a minute nine to go in the first half,
their lead is back to ten points, twenty seven to seventeen.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
So that was your score at halftime, and the fun
was just beginning. Fau opens the third with the Owls
on the move ten yards to easton Messer aside was
seen a thirteen yard catch and run tack on fifteen
after a late hit by Devin Pringle. Then after a
Donovan Branch sack, Fau gets Pringle in an offensive pass

(07:44):
interference penalty on fourth and seven at the Yukon thirty
on third and goal from the eleven, the Owls would
score on.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
The ground readjust running back to his right inside handoff,
run off the left side and into the end zone. Touchdown,
and Fau is Caden Shields Dutton found the end zone
on a handoff a little counter move and the Owls
ob struck first here in the third quarter.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Just three minutes in.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah nine plays seventy five yards twenty seven to twenty
four after the point after Shields dotton six rushing touchdown
cuts the lead to three. Three minutes into the third,
Connor Stutz pinned the Owls at the one after a
season long sixty seven yard punt, but it did not matter.
FAU faced a fourth and one at their own ten
and gamble and the result was a slamt play as

(08:35):
Dom Henry got behind Cam Chadwick who was guessing run,
and ninety yards later he was into the end zone
as the Owls took their first lead easily the longest
pass play of the season for the Owls, longest pass
play allowed by Yukon this season, and boy did they
need a response and they got it. Nine plays seventy
five yards, no third down plays, ra Mellow Murphy for seven,

(08:57):
Finnano to Terrence Smith on a wide receiver screen for thirteen.
Finano hit Lou Hanson for fifteen down to the twenty
and after a hold on Shamar Porter, a screen to
Cam Edwards to the one yard line. Then the Norwalk
native finished the drive.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yukhon now runs it edwards across the goal line for
six off the left side and Yukon has answered Fau's
touchdown with one.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Of their own.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Cam's thirteenth rushing TD. We had another lead change thirty
four to thirty one Huskies. FAU took it to the
Yukon thirty looking to retake the lead, but they would
give it away.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Takes the snap and side hand out. Paul's loose. It's
on the ground and who's got it? Huskies say they do.
I don't know, Yes they do.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Khn does so a faulty handoff the exchange and Yukon
catches a bit of a break as they come up
with a turnover and recover a fumble.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Caden Shields dut and mishandled the Caden vault camp transfer
Trent Joe the recovery. Huskies get it back and on
this drive the tight ends got involved Alex Honnick for
twelve and eighteen to lou Hanson his fifth catch of
the day. He hit five at Delaware Scylar bella seven
yard catch on third and four to get Yukon its
first third down conversion of the second half. Second and

(10:18):
nine from the FAU forty four. The Huskies welcome back mel.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Brown Dinano with Brown behind him, high snap hand off Brown,
Brown spins loose at the forty is in the open field,
thirty twenty down the right sideline. One more cut Mel Brown, Downtown,
Mel Brown.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
How sweet it is.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
As he takes it all the way, he breaks it
and Brown gives the Huskies a forty to thirty one lane.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
That's what he can do, and he did it when
they needed it.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Most point after put Yukon back up ten seven plays
and seven twenty one yards in three thirty two now
second rushing touchdown of the season. His forty four yard
jaunt the second longest run of the season. His longest
was forty nine. But the Owls came right back ten
plays seventy five yards. Messer with two big catches twenty

(11:15):
one of the Yukon forty three, then facing fourth and
eleven at the Yukon forty three and a chance to
finish off the Owls. Big miscommunication in the secondary led
the six for the Owls.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
El Camp drops deep, looks to throw, he goes up top.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
He's got a man that is caught by Messer for
a touchdown. Eastern Messer, Oh, he hit him down the
middle of the seam route and it's good for six
and it's forty one to thirty.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Seven second fourth down conversion for a touchdown and the
Owls within three after the point after. With seven thirteen
left in the fourth, Owls gotta stop after a questionable
hold on Skyler Bell. So five twenty five left Owls
at their own twenty four. The question was could the
defense get a stop and the answer would be no,

(12:04):
But the Owls started running the ball and grinding down
the clock. Caden Shields Dutton with twenty four yards rushing
early in the drive. Jamari Sands had sixteen more, throwing
a pass play of twelve yards to Dom Henry to
set up first and ten at the twelve, and the
FAU quarterback took it himself for anotherly change.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
The snap and he rolls right with the football and
he makes a run into the end zone, across the
five and into the end zone for a touchdown. The
lights go on and off and FAU has the lead
back forty four.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
To forty one, eleven plays seventy six yards and three
fourteen fifty six rushing on the drive, and the Owls
back up four. So here was the scenario. Three timeouts left,
including the two minute timeout for you kind of they
had to goes seventy five yards to retake the lead.
It started with a sixteen yard pass to Lou Hanson

(13:02):
to the forty one to the two minute timeout seven
to bell eight to Hanson on third down at the
FAU forty four Brown a nine yard run on third
and ten is set up fourth and one at the
FAU thirty five. Cam Edwards with a beautiful move, bullies
his way for eight off the right side for a
first down. Two incompletions third and ten at the twenty seven,

(13:25):
Finano to Ray Mellow Murphy for ten to the seventeen,
and then it was Cam Edwards time seven to the ten,
third and one at the eight he goes seven to
the one, and then with twenty eight seconds left, it's
only appropriate the Norwalk native finishes off the.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Drive and it's Finnano on a pitch to Edwards and
Edwards dives to the end zone and let's say I
don't see a signal, where is it.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
A touchdown for you?

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Con Cam Edwards busted it in from the right side
and now with twenty six seconds left, Yukon's lead is
forty seven forty.

Speaker 1 (14:07):

(14:27):
But this game was not over yet. A kick return
that was returned nine yards in the end zone deep
was stop of the ten, but Yukon got called for
a face mass, so seventy five yards. FAU had two
big pass plays Plot for twenty seven and then Messer
to twenty nine to the eighteen with eleven seconds left,

(14:49):
the Owls at one time out left. They used it.
They could have gone for the win instead, thirty six
yards for Garrison Smith to try to tie it.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Is the snap is good, the kick is up and
the kick is wide left.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
He missed it.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Garrison Smith misses and the Huskies flood the field.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Scott Norwood, where are you?

Speaker 2 (15:15):
As Yukon wins it forty eight to forty five on
a final field goal miss.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Well.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Scott Norwood barely missed his in Super Bowl twenty five. Sorry, Luke,
but that was more Mike vander Jett against the Steelers
for the Colts way back when it was a massive
duck hook. It looked like one of my drives late
in a round of golf, and it never had a chance.
It was from the left ash Mark cooked that left
missed the net actually, and the Husky survived this one,

(15:44):
forty eight to forty five again, twelve hundred and eighty
seven yards of total offense and some big numbers that
we will discuss when we come back.
