 Taylor Field on the campus of Lakeland University where today the muskies will host in-state rival Concordia of Wisconsin alongside the coach Chris Wright. I'm Mike Martin. Chris, two in a row for us. We did that south game last night. We're out here at Lakeland University today. Both teams come in two and one. First conference game of the year. And a lot going on on the university today. It's homecoming for the muskies and it's their 25th annual cheese bowl. Concordia leads in the series 14-10. How do you see this game playing out? Well, if anybody has intentions to see the whole Badger game today, I don't think that's going to happen. I think both teams are going to play a lot of nickel and a lot of dime defense. I think they're going to be thrown around the park. I don't know if that's the best idea with the weather. If you were with us last night, the weather was horrendous. And because of the results of last night and this morning the field, as you're going to see today, is very beat up. So it's going to be, as you mentioned yesterday, I guess the sledding is going to be difficult. Even though we're on October 16. As you look at your TV screens and look over on the right side, Concordia was doing warm-up drills along the lines. And that's why the dirt is showing instead of grass. The field was actually in pretty good shape prior to the teams coming out and warming up. But with the weather being so bad the last couple days, the field is really, really soft. I mean, we saw a lot of kids slipping in warm-ups. Well, I'm happy to be out here. It's been a few years since we've been out here to see this in 2009. I can't believe that. I know it's been a few years, but I can't believe it's been that long. But glad they asked us to come out. I know they talked to the office. And we're glad we came out here. Maybe we can do a basketball game or two. We used to do the management of women's teams as well. You know, we'll probably do a UW Sheboygan basketball. Oh, that'll happen for sure. And that's only about two months away. I was looking at the stat sheet and Chris had mentioned that both teams like to pass a lot. To my surprise, Lakeland has run the ball 118 times this year. They've passed it 114. So they're pretty balanced in that regard. Concordia does pass more. They've got 104 passes attempted to 97 rushes, which isn't too overwhelming. But they still like to throw the ball around the yard a lot. Well, the thing with... I did stats and we come out here and they have all the stats on the program for us. I'm glad I took the extra half hour to get this done. The one thing better to do anyway, right? Right. Well, the thing I noticed about it, it is through three games, but you said they kind of a little bit of bounce, but not a lot of success for Concordia on the ground. I mean, their leading receiver is only averaging about 55 yards a game, Marty. Desmond Morris has 13 catches for Lakeland. And if you look at Concordia, they have three guys in double figures. Dante Edwards, Kevin Faulkner, and Derek Espen. So you're right, they do like to throw it. We mentioned that both teams come in two and one. Both teams going into last week were two and oh. They both lost last week. Concordia lost to Alma 31 to 28. And Lakeland got crushed by the number 10 team in the nation, Platteville 56 to nothing. And just to show the disparity in conferences, Platteville is the only ranked third, I think, ranking wise, ranked third in the conference. So you mentioned Whitewater and Oshkosh are ranked above them. Yeah, Mount Union, the defending national champs, and perennial champion, you know, one of the powerhouses in all division three football, ranked number one. And Whitewater, who's won a few championships, not two years ago, they are ranked number two. Oshkosh, who won their league last year, is ranked number four in Platteville 10. So that's just to show you how good football is in our state. But for today, let's talk about the NACC conference. Lakeland coach by Colin Burton, Concordia by Greg Etter. All spotted on the 35-yard line for the kickoff, and we are off. Not a very good kick, picked up on the 26 and knocked down on about the 32. Well, and most of you have been watching us do high school football the last few years. It's a little bit different in college. One thing, of course, will be the 15 minutes per quarter, and, of course, stopping on first downs is the same, but it's a little bit different. So we've got 12 extra minutes of game time. And we'll see if Lakeland decides to throw it. Are they going to put it on, start to put it on the ground here. All right, that quarterback for the Muskies is Michael Whitley. A little bit of a jet sweep action. Whitley keeps it, and he gets stopped right at the line of scrimmage. Not much going on there. Second and 10. There you see Whitley with the carry. He's actually their leading ball carrier, the 42 carries. Second down. Muskies got three wide receivers off to the right and off to the running back, who has a good game. That was Desmond Eddie. Eddie comes in with 118 yards. Eddie, the ball carrier. It's going to be third in about three. Give him a game of about seven yards. Desmond Eddie comes all the way from Louisiana, Marty. Wow. Freshman. Another handoff to Eddie. He's not going to get it stacked up right at the 40, maybe picked up a yard at best. It's going to be fourth down. Well, one thing I noticed, Marty, that Lakeland only punted 10 times a year. Making a stop was Robert Woods the third, by the way. They're going. All right, going for it on fourth down. First big play of the game. It's fourth in about two. See if they try to draw him offside. Nope, they're going for it. And Muskies can't handle a snap. Eddie falls on it for a loss, and it's going to be incendiable. Unfortunate circumstance there, Marty. Just a drop ball. The ball's going to be slippery. It's coming out of the mud. For sure. Okay, first down in 10. Ball spotted on the 37 yard line, is it? Cordia blew a fourth quarter lead last week. Otherwise, they would be three and all. Dropping back, looking deep. Good coverage by Lakeland. And picked off by Chris Dixon. Yeah, the senior DB from Griffin, Georgia. That ball just kind of hung in the air there, and the wide receiver slipped. And that was probably a pre-play plan. This is the first play we're going to run from scrimmage. And, you know, in the slippery turf, the wide receiver has a big advantage, but when you just kind of run straight down the field, not a lot of cuts or anything. Right, yeah, exactly. Good point. And that's kind of where we had those long plays last night. Those wide receivers, for the most part, were just heading down the field, not making a lot of sharp cuts. Whitley back at quarterback for Lakeland. Wow, seven seconds ago we were here. Whitley looking the left-hander. Plotted up the throw, and then put it back down. Now he's running, and gets knocked out of bounds. After a pretty nice game. Boy, I hope we can see the jerseys by the time the game is over with the mud. I was telling the guys, if we had a black-and-white monitor by the end of the game, both teams would look like they're all together. Yeah, it is sloppy. Okay, pickup of about four. I thought he gained a little more, but not. Whitley calls for the snap, hands it off to his running back, trying to cut it back, but gets up very little, if any. Meeks on the carry. Number 15, Orlando Meeks. Running sophomore, running back. Third down, and long six, or a short seven. Take your pick. Looking nice pass by Whitley. He's got his receiver. Good pass and catch. Desilow Smith on the catch. First and ten for Lakeland. First Smith, that's his ninth catch of the game. Our exceeding of the season, Marty. Yeah, ball spotted right on the 35. Second in yards. Third and catches on the team. Five wide receivers this time. Whitley looking. Goes short, but his receiver could not hang on. It was a pretty easy pass and catch, but it goes in complete. Michael Whitley also comes from Louisiana. I was reading, those coaches bio or some information on the Lakeland website and they said they do like to recruit down from down in the southeast. Not the southeast part of the state either. I don't know. And off the Meeks, bounces it to the outside. He's got good yardage, gets knocked out of bounds. Close to the 50 yard line. Meeks just a sophomore. You see him gets a pretty good blocking right at the line of scrimmage. Gave him running room to the outside. Ball is spotted on the, about the 48. He's just 5'5", 145, Marty. Well, hand off the Meeks again, tries to bounce it to the outside, but gets hit for a loss all the way back to the 46. Sometimes you got to hit the hole that's called for. Bouncing it to the outside isn't always going to work. 11-15 left in the first quarter. No score. They are right up at the line too, Marty. They are fast paced team. Left handed. Not a very good pass, but the catch is made by Jody Harrison. Jody pass completed to Jody Harrison. It's going to be third down, and about 7. Here's 10th catch of the season. Ball spotted on the Concordia 49 yard line. Whitley sends Meeks in motion off to the right. Not a very good snap, but Whitley able to gather it in. He's not going to get the first down, but a lot of bounds. It would be interesting to see what they do here, Chris, because... Penalty. Holding. Back a little bit further. Can we see if there's any holding anywhere? He's going to grab 79. Yeah, 79. It might have been on pushing the guy down from behind. See what the call is. Terry Verstrotti is our official in the White Hat holding on Lakeland. And Penalty is declined. Give Whitley maybe a yard of a gain at best. It's going to be fourth and about 6. Oh, third and... Oh, fourth and sixth. They're not taking a penalty now. Fourth and sixth, yep. Actually give them no gain. Now I would probably... Ball spotted on the 49th. I'd probably punt here, Marty, but... They like to go for it. I know a lot. No wind at this point. Flag is just on the pole hanging limp. Had rain all morning. This is in bad shape. Just like the last time we were on fourth down. Whitley looking. Then we got a flag. Oh, wow. And Whitley is tackled on the 40 yard line. Loss of 11. Pushing the back. Block in the back, Marty. You're going to take a look. Give me the ball. Right there. We did get to pass away in complete. Okay. Klauski there, pushing him there. And, you know, it's so slippery, Marty. It's tough to establish anything. Okay, first down for Concordia. Again, they have excellent field position. First offensive play resulted in an interception. At the controls is Aaron Nixon, number 11. He threw that interception. There's another difference, Chris, between college and high school. Once you step out of... over the line in high school, the play is dead, and they call a five yard penalty. In college, you can go over the line and then... and still get back and run the play. No play, no gain on that play. Second down and 10. Aaron Nixon from McGwanagall. A one time power. They play one of the toughest leagues in the state. The Classic Eight. Conference in high school. Jet sweep, they hand it off. And a great tackle made. The ball carrier was Isaiah Tennant. But... Dante Ruel making the tackle. Sorry about that. Tennant from Concordia there, number one. He's from Sacramento, California. Tough, tough going today. Field position turnovers going to be maybe a key here. 8-53 in Coney. Core number one. Third down and 10. Second down and 10. Core number one. Third down and about 14. Oh. Hand came across the face mask, Chris. I wouldn't have been surprised if they threw a flag, but they didn't. And Nixon got sacked. Yeah, they sent... a corner off the side here. Lewis is going to come. Wasn't on the receiver and... What the hell did he do? I got this one here. Kick is away. A high wobbler. And of course, when it hits the turf, it's not going to bounce anywhere. Reminds me of the battle at Waterloo. You hear about that, Adam? We had our cannonade at the beginning before the troops started to engage, but didn't do any damage. Cannonball just landed in the mud because it rained the night before. I was a fired major, by the way. What were you talking to, by the way? You want to introduce him? Not you. You want to introduce him? That is Aaron Gotchek. He's the SID here at Lakeland University. Aaron does a hefty job. Adam. Adam. Adam. I knew that. Sorry, Adam. They couldn't hear you. Another shot for Lakeland. A little better field position this time, Chris. Third time at the ball and we're under eight minutes. Yeah, that's a lot of possessions. Pretty good block on the edge. Are they going to get holding? Nope. Making the edge block was Michael Wyatt. Michael Wynn, pardon me, spring in the ball carrier. I didn't catch a number of that, kid. It was Desmond Eddy, number 22, our freshman from Louisiana. Okay, good. Picks up nine yards on the play. Motion because of the mud. Yeah, exactly. No footing. Gale Serres was a real good runner in the rain because he ran flat footed. And that helped him a lot. But Whitley gets hit back at the 35 in the lose yardage on that play. The Kansas Comet. The Kansas Comet, right? Who did he play for, by the way? Gale Serres, you know? I don't know. I know they're doing well this year, Murray. That's all I know. Hey, watch it, buddy. I won't be your friend anymore. And off. And hit right at the line of scrimmage. Maybe picks up a yard at best. Eddy on the carry again. I have to tell you, Marty, watching the Bears play the other day, they're not a very good team. They're a bad team. They're struggling. Their starting quarterback is out besides. Yep. Third down and about four. And the rain is starting to pick up. 14, pardon me. Changing balls here. And you mentioned something really good last night. Not just the ball. Only one thing? Well, it's not just throwing a ball, but you made a good point when you have to grip the ball. Exactly. And it's going to be the same here, too. When you're talking about two teams Whitley bounces through the line of scrimmage, picks up a few yards, not much, gets it up to the 40. This time, they're going to punt, Marty. Yeah, I think they should, too. A little bit farther than... a little too far. Punters Brandon Pribinale. He's from Brilliant. I got him averaging 32 yards per punt this year. Tenet is the lone return man for the Falcons. He's down. Scooped it up, but his knee was down. He's going to be called down at the 26. And that's going to be a loss of nine. Now, we saw this last night. Marty, problems with snapping on fumbles and in college football or in high school, once your knee is down, you're down. It's not like the pros. Where you can get up and run, you're right. So a really good field position from Concordia now. Inside a 30. What are they at, 26? Richard Martson running at top camera. Scott Maloff in the truck is our director today. Mario Mendez is our student assistant. And Nixon's pass is incomplete. Chris Wright is our play-by-play guy and I'm Mike Martin. Chris is our color guy. I'm the play-by-play guy. Good pressure by Lakeland that time forcing Nixon to just basically get rid of it. Getting hard to read the numbers, Chris. It is. On some of the guys. Nixon straight back passes woefully short incomplete. Well, it's just not going anywhere. If you're an offensive coordinator, Chris, what are you running in this kind of weather? Misdirection. I'm running football more too. I'm running the ball. Short passing game. Short passing game. Concordia looks pretty big in the offensive line. I wonder if they could line up and try to overpower and runs up the middle and off tackle and stuff. Nixon has had a receiver wide open through it behind him and goes incomplete. There's a go for it here. Unless they got a field goal kicker. Their field goal kicker, Marty, and zero field goals. I think we'll run a play then. I think we'll run a play then. See, Carol Grice in the backfield with Nixon. Three wide outs to the right. Good snap. Nixon looking and it passes way off. Nixon passing completes. You gotta thank Chris. He's having trouble gripping the ball too. I mean, just the way those passes are coming out of his hand. Well, he came in at throwing 65 percent, which is a pretty high rate. Whitley on the other hand is at about 48 percent for when you think of an accurate passer like that, not to complete anything, obviously something's wrong, Marty. Right. Boy, that series took 23 seconds. Five, 20 left in the first quarter. No score. We're out here at Lakeland University playing at Taylor Field. Meeks out into a slot position. Whitley short pass. He's got his receiver kicks up a little bit of a block. No flag. Slips through on his out of bounds near the 40 yard line. Making the grab was a Kessilow Smith. There you see. Short pass right over the middle. There he goes. Watch his block on the bottom right there. Well, we mentioned before with Smith, he's only got eight catches coming in today, but it was for 196 yards. So he's a big, big game gainer. 34 yard play. Is that right? 34. Okay. He's got to check with the official stats person. Keeper. Yeah, Whitley on a keepers. Chris is right. Tried to take it inside and then bounced it to the outside and picked up pretty good yards. Well flipped the field and Lakeland for the first time has an opportunity to score here. Nice big play. I like that short passing game and idea. Keep that in the back of our minds here. First down Whitley takes a snap looking down the field. He's got a man short and over through the intended receiver Peyton Peterson. Peterson was open and that was one of those short plays again, but Whitley just couldn't get on the ball Marty. Right. Same type of route. I watched that kind of work and Peterson was there and he just misfired on it. Too bad. Ball on the 31 yard line. Left. Hands it off to Meeks, bounces it back to the inside and picks up about five yards. We got a flag on the plate. It's going to happen up near the top of your screen. I think we got a block in the back. Look like Smith might have did the illegal block holding on Lakeland. Happened right near the line of scrimmage. I got the wide receiver. It was over on that side. It's too bad too because it was a nice little gainer. Right. You're right. Absolutely. It's still going to be second down, but now it's going to be about 20 yards. Actually, the ball is spotted on the 39. So it's about 18. Bad snap. It was at Meeks. Meeks just ran right in front of his ball off the ground and ran with it. Watch this. Oh, there he goes. Might as well pick it up. It's going to come to me anyways. Albert Gorlitz. From Concordia, number 21 from Owen with the he laid a big hit there on Meeks. He mentioned before Meeks, not a big big ball carrier. It was 5'5", 145. The referee is saying oh, nice catch. Very nice catch made by Peterson. It's going to be fourth down in about 5. Peterson came in with three catches for 21 yards. 250 and running. This is the deepest penetration either team has had so far in the game. Whitley looking trying to get the edge. Can't do it. Picks up a real nice block in the back field. And then he slips down and it's going to be a big loss all the way back outside the 40. Well the idea was right Marty but you don't go to the part of the field the 40 there where it's the muddiest. He should have seen that backtrack this way. Really? Not really good with his GPS identification there Marty. That was good. Well look at the field right there. You know what it looks muddy all over to me. I don't know that 40 right there looks like where Concordia did most of their warm ups. It's now fake handoff. Nixon put the ball in the stomach of the jet sweep man but then he pulled it out and he didn't get a couple of yards. The fake was to number one Isaiah Tennant. Nixon carried the ball now that he had 80 yards coming in. Lakeland a little too early trying to time the blitz but didn't do it very well. I don't think the turf helped him either Marty. He's going to creep up whoops already giving him the first down pretty close I guess they're not going to do it. I would say it's going to be about a half a yard short. I don't even think it's going to be that far Chris. Okay. Adam was very happy. He didn't have to move his computer too much. Now they're saying maybe not. Oh come on Terry. You know they wouldn't be pulling this if it was raining out. It is raining out. It's not raining out. So get your shit out. We're back at Lakeland College. Nixon in the backfield they're going to call it second and one. Look like they had a first down but not quite on that penalty. And in motion is Tennant. They fake to him. Nixon spins away, throws and it's short but when you're third second and short maybe just get the first down. Because you might just slip here on third down and now things are a little more difficult. It is raining in isn't it? The window open didn't work so good. The only reason why it's probably not too bad Chris is because they do have third down to run the ball up the middle. The other thing is another thing I was never too sure about when you need six inches and you're still going out of the shotgun Marty. Yeah I know we've talked about that before. You've mentioned it before. See now he's going to maybe not. Offside Lakeland, they want to throw the flag and get it dirty. Even the officials have a hard time running on the field it's so muddy and unstable. I think it's offside on Lakeland. Now here's what I think it was. I thought it was offside on Lakeland but the quarterback just walked up to the line and didn't become set. That could be. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with. You are right sir. Illegal procedure on Concordia. I actually see. All of a sudden you've got your second and half a foot to five and a foot. Five and a half a foot. Court number one. Here we go. Looks like Lakeland's coming. Sent two. The receiver tenant made a nice catch, got it in Lakeland territory. All depends on the spot again Chris. Nice little simple pass into the flat. Something I think both teams are going to throw the ball and need to do. Oh marking it way back at the 50. What? It's going to be fourth down and one. What? Yeah, I'm with you there. He was way over, he was on like the 49 or 48 and the shotgun. Ducking under center again. Ah, trying the old Aaron Rodgers. Now we get a plague. Delay a game. We'll take the penalty and punters 41.8 seconds left in the first quarter. I think that was a smart play Chris. How about you? I don't. I mean if they jump you get the first down, right? I would have just gone for it there Marty. I would have just gone for it. You're half a foot away. Your team can't get you half a foot with the quarterback. Quarterback controls when he can get the ball to him. A good catch in the left footed kicker. There you go. Does not get any kind of a ball. It's got a real tough break there. Jacob Mason was the punter. Just nothing happening there. You know what you just gained? 11 yards Marty. Well, I mean the punt was 16, but because of the 5 yard delayed penalty. It's first and 10 for Lakeland again. 1, 2, 3, 4, their fifth possession of the first quarter. How do you even keep a ball like that halfway clean? Ball is inside the 40 at the 39. They had the controls. And we have a fumble. Concordia is running off the field Marty. Concordia got it. Couldn't see what happened. The ball never cleared the line of scrimmage it looks like. I wonder if it hit one of the linemen or maybe just didn't clear the center's rump. 29.3 seconds left in the first. We are at the bottom of the page Chris. Ball spotted on the 38. If they run it here Marty you get to be one play. If they don't it could be three plays. The last possession was 23 seconds. One of their possessions was 23 seconds. Nixon on a quick pass out to the side. Big receiver making the catch that time was Dominic Saragallia. Spock is running. Could be yet. At the end of one quarter play at Taylor field on the campus of Lakeland University it's Concordia Wisconsin zero Lakeland zero. I guess sometimes things just happen. Devastating things. Your whole world changes in an instant. That's what happened to me. The day my mother had a stroke. I'm Paul George and I want you to spot a stroke fast. F. Face drooping. A. Arm weakness. A speech difficulty. T. Time to call 911. Protect the ones you love. Spot a stroke fast. You're doing great. Let's just we're going to try this again. Okay. Wheels pedals handlebar break. Sit up straight. Keep your eyes on the road. Hands on the grips button. Just keep pedaling. Good girl. All about balance and steering. Steer with your hands. Steer with your body. Steer into the corners and you stay out of trouble. The bell is your buddy so go ahead and ding that. Pedal honey. Pedal. Go your bike rider. Pedaling is hard to do in just two minutes. But two minutes twice a day making sure they brush is easier and it could help save them from a lifetime of tooth pain. Back at Lakeland University at second down in eight for Concordia. We start the second quarter action. No score. Nixon looking down the field. Lakeland getting a good rush. Nixon avoids one tackler. Gets his pass off and it's complete. Big gainer for the Falcons making that catch was Tyler Mageski. Mageski on the reception. Tackle by Lewis. Boy oh boy. They had him in the back field Chris and they couldn't get him down. Well the traction again there and Nixon had more time. The old ball spotted on the nine yard line. First real threat. Threat inside the 10. Concordia was down here before. Time to get him. Good sack made that time by Eris Hargrole. Hargrole with third sack on the season and a big time for them fish to get one there Marty. Going to be second down in goal but the ball is spotted all the way back at the company. Two wide receivers on either side. A little swing pass out to his running back Bryce and he gets nailed. He got popped hard and knocked down at the 15 yard line pick up a five. Hard five I might add. It's going to be third down in goal. Calling it the 16 yard line. The widest on the right side is Dominic Serragalia. Big kid 6'4 Nixon. Boy it's one tack. Picked up a good block. Passed into the end zone is touchdown. This is a tenet. Watch this block down at the bottom boom right there. Great footwork there by tenet. He was in the corner of the end zone. At for Nixon is his fifth touchdown of the season. Touchdown pass. I thought he'd have more than that. They're looking to kick it all up on the tent Chris. Let's see if he can get it up there. Mason. Snap is there and the kick is up and good. I was offside Lakeland so they just went ahead and kicked it and went through with the play. We're Stradi asking the Concordia sideline you want to accept the penalty and I think they're not going to accept it. They'll take the extra point with the 13-01 left in the second quarter at 7-0 Concordia. Hi may I please have an application? The drama. Get your diploma.

Back at Lakeland University where Concordia took over in a great field position on a Lakeland fumble and were able to march in. The key play of the drive was the 15-yard scoring pass. There was also I thought a long pass down actually. Right here. So right here. 84 for 27-yarder. That was the one we were missing. Before that they only had 7-yards passing before that drive. No first down. They got a first down and a touchdown on the same drive. Well taken on about the 24-yard line and a return man gets it out near the 40. So good field position to start off at Lakeland. Well up until this point Marty it's just kind of been back and forth back and forth. Look at that field right in that area. There's hardly any grass. Back and forth and back and forth. Now there's a little pressure put on the offense here. Just under 13 minutes according to number 2. Now they're trailing. Let's see what the old left hander can come up with. They hand off the meeks. He's on that plate. Smith on the carry. We talk about him catching passes but made an excellent run that time. Got it into a Concordia territory at about the 47. He's only carried the ball twice before on the season Marty. Holy cow. It's not very much. Maybe give it to him more often. Trying to bounce it to the outside. He gets around the corner and gets knocked out of bounds. Into the mud. Looks like near the 40 yard line so he did pick up positive yardage again. It's going to be second down for Lakeland. Getting a gain of about 6. Well they don't play out here Marty for 3 weeks so the field is going to have a few weeks to get back to normal but it's going to take a while after today. This is really getting tore up and we're not even halfway through the second quarter. Smith again. Bounce has kept his balance and got it up about to the 35. He's got a first down I think. The game has been played basically between the 30 and the actually a lot of it's between the 35 and the 35 and that's where it's just a mess. To get down inside the red zone area the footing will be a little easier for you but you got to get there boys. A lot of whiteouts. Three of them down at the bottom of your screen you can see two of them almost over Whitley's head he made a great catch and gets nailed back and that looked like a dangerous hit. Watch him get bent backwards. Good catch. Right there. This might have been a case where something that it was slippery out there. Exactly yeah, good point. Second down at 10 went in the slot on the left side joined over there by another bad snap Whitley dodging gets it to his receiver the short guy who's actually pretty tall Richard yeah he's 6'4 Marty that's the kind of stuff I like when they're kind of dragging that trail receiver across the middle there let him do the work gaining the yards for you third down and one third down and reasonable but again out of the shotgun Marty that's what they do Whitley's wobbly pass is complete to Desmond Morris who made a nice catch Morris going with the short pass Morris from the Delz made a nice catch number 11 first at 10 ball spotted on the 14 yard line about a 12 yard gain Whitley keeps it spins off a tackler and lunges forward near the 10 yard line the old Xbox move there it looked like a miscommunication was Smith supposed to go in the same direction 7 only giving him 3 yards on that pickup good drive here ball spotted on the 11 Whitley in the back feel that quarter back Keselow Smith is running back alongside him and oh he gets by a tackler I wouldn't be surprised if Smith gets the penalty yep I agree with you offensive watch this here boys tries to do the stiff arm but may have got some face mask right there oh jeez that's what they're gonna get Morris has number 11 on the front of his jersey nice and clean but when you look at the back you can't hardly tell they're giving a face mask on Concordia oh my yeah really first and goal they got the wrong guy you can see it on the replay as well Marty you were right on that call I think they saw it correctly they just saw the wrong watch it right here the flag went out already that was before that was before on the face mask earlier in the play face mask happened earlier on good job on a replay Scott uh oh now what are we doing redo they're not gonna redo it'll be first and goal Lakeland on the nine, the eight five yard line seven yard line first and goal on the five Adam trying to fix his computer before the play gets run Whitley bounces to the outside has a receiver in the end zone and it falls incomplete there were about three different players that could have had it two of them were defenders but it does go incomplete here's that play Marty right there looks like the first and then he comes up with his hand and grabs our face mask I would call that a horse a piece that's alright we're playing at home we'll take the call process overload Smith trying to get to the outside too many defenders he gets knocked out of bounds near the 10 the third and goal he's outside the 10 even Chris it's gonna be the 13 yard line the eight oh my Whitley looks pretty comfortable rolling to his right throwing does he know which ones are his blockers and the defenders oh good defensive play out there by Concordia Whitley looked like he had a man open but the defender came in and knocked the ball away you see it and the defender comes up and passes it away I just saw with the jersey colors I know when he was scrambling who's my guy who's blocking for me and who's trying to knock me down you know they both have white helmets so you can't distinguish that way Whitley looking standing in the pocket fires to the end zone passes incomplete nobody was open Marty and he tried to squeeze it in there but well covered by Concordia the first opportunity for the fish to score and they come out empty eight minutes left in the second quarter homecoming here at Lakeland are also playing for the cheese bowl 25th annual cheese bowl Lakeland offense trudging here to their two benches that was one of the last two of those cheese bowls Marty really I'm a big fan of cheese Colin Burton their head coach undefeated in cheese bowls pass goes out to the 20 yard line passes to Edwards second down and one clean jersey in the backfielder Chris Nixon on a fake handoff got me Marty yeah he got me too I was following that white jersey I was flying a Haas there and if he would have been carrying the ball he would have had a nice game loss of four just kept it himself fooled me Nixon looking down the field goes through the short man and making the catch and run was Logan Haas he gets knocked down outside the 25 yard line little catch kept his eye on the ball boom he's the lower of the boom but play from tackler gets him it's going to be first and 10 the ball is spotted on the nine they're going to put that ball down Gary Klein walking the sidelines from the press I saw him already today Marty I saw him at the Wiener races it's Alan Owls for German Fest October Fest pass is behind the intended receiver was Eric Esson lagged down so I get Son Concordia Terry Verstrati talking to the Lakeland sideline illegal procedure on Concordia is declined so it'll just be an incomplete pass got that Adam we're working together up here they didn't know we were coming Chris everybody claimed their spot up here so we asked Adam to slide over a little bit he was more than willing to do it that's what he'll say today but wait until Monday at the office yeah let me know what's going on cram the SID out here nobody tells me anything okay the pass again was complete to Haas for just a very short game not much there I don't think that's the way to go with a short pass and that time he just couldn't get his footing but that plays work before for the Falcons completed pass but for no yards that guy with the down marker finally moved going deep he's got a receiver out there but he was double covered the pass goes incomplete that's what we thought we were going to see today nice throws down the field all right to a nice ball here but not maybe the best decision in the double coverage like Marty said number four for the Packers from years gone by Mason on the punt you know who I mean right oh yeah big fan of mine big but far fan third punt for Mason oh we got a roll that time I got it there we go with the pants the wash those Kelvin Trammell on the downing the ball he's a freshman from Riverside and you know what's going to be the best part about that film session with the team they'll have a good time with that one let's watch the freshman Kelvin Trammell here down the ball what I don't know if he's in any relation to Allen we're at 518 Lakeland with this high potent offense he's been stymied by the turf today I think Marty more than anything you're exactly right stymied by the turf makes wings out to the right side really short pass right through the hands of the intended receiver Desmond Horace see and that's the play that's the play that's been working just got to catch the football I know we have to be somewhat forgiving Chris but that one's not that one's too easy you've got to catch those walls that one's got to be made second down in 10-5-14 left and off running back we had a big hole but it closed up pretty quickly let's spot it right at the 40 Maxwell Fisher I think made the tackle some of the best turf excuse me the best mud right here this is prime territory right here look at that yuck I've used that word twice now Marty I know that's okay oh good hard run quickness when you don't have to make cuts you can just run north and south it makes a big difference Meeks having a lot of success on the ground success maybe he's a mutter Adam what do you got for maybe his mother was a mutter his mother was a mutter yep as Kramer would say all spotted on the 46 yard line another 6 yard gain another Meeks probably that's about 25-30 whoa bad snap this is going to hurt that's going to be about a 12 yard loss I believe whittly making the recovery all spotted back inside the 35 right at the 35 that's what you run into either when you have to make sustained long drives at some point you're more apt to have a miscue of some sort that's that many yards that's really tough they're only rushing 4 and dropping 8 that's why I gotta do this short pass complete up to about the 42 linebackers drop back and defenders drop back you just gotta go between the line and take your small chunks that was a good decision there got part of it back still going to set up 3rd and 15 clock stop 258 till half time new ball good shot new ball as we get back to the 40 here Richard wiping off the monitor not the monitor is the camera get those raindrops out of the way see what's happening look at that area there bad news Whitley makes a nice catch goes short and as a receiver again dropped the ball that time it was Michael win two drops on this series Marty gonna force the muskies to punt and you gotta punt it don't want to give him a good field position with such a little time and they've had struggles here on the memory put his knee down before again we saw this yesterday last night in the high school games they actually put the punter real close to the defender here sorry about that there's a good snap and catch and we got some roughing of the punter just look at the ball just hit and stop and he's hurt the Lakeland punter is down that'll be the big 15 yarder it will be close to the first down ah yes yes you are right it will be very close could be automatic automatic first down we were talking after the game about cleaning uniforms and Mrs. Rice Scott Rice's wife, Jacobs mom was saying that each player is responsible for taking their uniform home and washing it I wonder if Lakeland does that no take it back to the dorm it would create a a mess mom down in Delavan hey mom can you drive up wash my uni first down for the fish they got 235 left and they got all their timeouts Marty all spotted at the 44 all the umbrellas are out nothing like yesterday Marty that was just a torrential consistency it rained very hard it was raining like that on this field as good a shape the grass just wasn't as lush as it was on south but it had to be bad Smith leaning forward one of those short plays you could see it on replay I like this see right in front of the linebackers get your little chunks you know it's one thing you know you say well you got to be hurry up well they already play fast Marty so this isn't something on common for Lakeland let's see if this time Morris is going to come across number 11 he's way down here Whitley it was Morris that kind of a pass by Whitley leaves his wide receiver wide open to a big hit you got to get the ball down jumping up in the air to make a catch and there are two defenders right there and I think they're going to get a targeting on this we're a little bit behind on the time here with the clock there you go there we go see what the call is personal foul on Concordia that's something they look a lot especially in college there's Pete Barth down there too does stuff down here at Lakeland and former sports editor at the press I know they do that a lot though that targeting thing at the college level and lead to an injection as well yes I think it could a similar type infraction on sportsman like type thing that could be an injection you're right trying to bounce it to the outside but it does get down to sideline before finally being tackled was Desmond Eddy looked like there was nothing here and then he goes to the outside and like I said he knows where he's going but the defenders don't okay there's a great head shoulders fake there's still plenty of time and second chance inside the red zone in the quarter for the muskies let's see if they can get in there this time time is not a factor ball on about the 14 yard line quickly hands it off again running back at the down near the chin ball was on the 14 going to be second down whistles blowing we got a time out 141 left Terry Verstrati signaling up to the press box for the timer to put 135 on that was Dennis Semf running o'clock Dennis a little quicker next time please haha could be banged in the fumble I think he's down he fumbled it when he hit the ground which makes him down first here's the replay right up the middle now he was down landed on the two and the running game is working for the muskies something he's going to put in your back pocket at halftime is success ball is inside the 5 near the 1 or 2 yard line call it the 2 fake on the jet sweep and Whitley takes it in for the score there's your misdirection Chris I like the running on the series Marty yeah me too and there you see it nice big opening on the right side of the line Lakeland taking it from the 34 66 yards for a score well there Conrad Foss is their extra point guy but he's only three of six this year Marty which tells me that they go for it a lot this is not a good day to be attempting extra points either now they're going to talk about it here time out Lakeland looking at going for 2 left in the half big score to come back after they trail there Marty it was a great drive extended 60 I got it out about 60 they kept pushing it down I like your comments too about the running of all more just difficult to establish drives now each team has won and that's why we're basically not it also the pass plays at Lakeland attempted almost all of them were reasonably short within 10 yards of the receiver catching the ball and then letting them run looks like they're sending out the go for 2 team don't you just wish you could be playing football out there now well I wish I was younger I could play football like that not at my current age I don't think I alrighty here we go looking for 2 to take the lead right now it's 7 to 6 and Cordia a little swing pass nice move after the catch I think that was Meeks hard to tell we apologize Keaslow Smith I don't know how you can see those jerseys until they come over here Marty you're tracking them as he comes in you can see who it was it was number 10 Keaslow Smith so we'll go with that what is it Keaslow we got it like that Chris we got the lead getting ready to kick off they have the lead hopefully they'll be able to carry that lead into half time it's homecoming here at Lakeland University and it's also big game day the cheese bowl we picked a good game come out and cover Chris just not a good day the weather is although the players are playing hard and certainly interesting seeing them try to navigate the mud a lot of white jerseys on this kick off coverage team nice kick carries back inside the 20 at about the 18 taking it to the outside but not getting very far unless they don't tackle them ball carrier takes it outside the 30 there's Grice on the return oh that was a good one school of muskies well 50 ticks left see if the Falcons decide to attack here with all their timeouts it certainly wouldn't hurt to take a shot deep also could be concerned you know you don't want to have a turnover and have the fish get the ball back we'll get the kick off in the second half I don't know if you're watching that very close it was a wide receiver screen and the non-receiving wide receiver the guy in the white shirt engages as a blocker before the catch is made and almost could have been called for an illegal block Alexander number 80 on the catch not much there 25 seconds they're going to have to run some type of play Marty can't run it out now they're same play basically only on the other side and that time they do pick up a couple of yards Lakeland calls timeout Marty I don't like that, I don't either let it go play nice pick up up about four yards our next game will be next Friday when Depeer heads over to south in the south zone coming we look forward to covering that game Depeer wasn't really that good that means Salt has a bit of a chance they got a couple wins they're not they're not like they've been last year they were a juggernaut this year they got about two wins, two or three wins they're not what they've been you're not what you've been either me either alrighty we got reset the clock to 15 minutes oops 13 seconds we're getting ready for half already except I think half for the longer nap 13 seconds left it's third down in 6 Lakeland leads it 8 to 6 they got a two yard run from their quarterback Michael Whitley and now we've got the two point conversion by Keyes Low Smith and that's the Lakeland scoring in the first half come on are we having a good time yet there was a timeout on Lakeland so they must have two left up on the board says two for them three for no three for Lakeland two and two there it is not quite sure I guess they're hoping that there's a turnover of sorts Nixon Handoff Bryce on the carry it looks like he got the first down and gets knocked down outside the 45 and now you call a timeout and now if Concordia wishes to use a timeout when the chains get set they can and they can throw a hail Mary or they're just going to they're going to pass pass is incomplete and that is half time incomplete pass from Concordia's quarterback Aaron Nixon at half time can't see it

Martin Chris Lakeland leads 8 to 7 they had a late scoring drive Michael Whitley on a 2 yard run and then he passed the tequila smith for the 2 point conversion your impressions are the first half well obviously the conditions are just horrific the place you walk around here and just went to the restroom saw Dave Gallinetti by the way just horrible playing conditions and both teams struggling to get anything done each team basically with a drive and that's why they scored and it's 8 to 7 I like the fact that Lakeland started to run the football late in the second quarter they actually did run the ball a little more than they passed it with 18 runs and you look at the flipside the first quarter ran it just for 7 and 4 of them was by the quarterback a lot of that is just loss loss of yardage so Tina makes the fewest mistakes and maybe tries to run the football might win this one and right now that's favoring the fish it's been an entertaining first half not always the best played and a lot of that had to do like Chris mentioned because of the field conditions it's pretty bad out there we'll see what the second half brings the area you can see it right where the kicker is setting up the tee from the 35 to about the 30 and out fully chewed up that's probably the worst part of the field inside the 20 on the south end of the field is probably the best conditions teams like we mentioned are 2-1 coming in in the first conference game Lakeland once the conference last year Chris they went undefeated Colin Burton in his second season out here has had a lot of success I believe he was he's 10 and 4 in his career and the team did make the playoffs they got beaten in the first round but just getting to the show the dance is the ticket in this conference Greg Etter is the head coach over at Concordia here he's had a pretty good run it's going to be an interesting second half hopefully the defenses for both teams with the help of the field have done pretty well we're ready to go the only thing I don't see is officials Marty somebody locked the bathroom why are the officials not on the field this is interesting doing an all call for Terry and his five friends okay why don't we wait a little longer just in case the rain decides to come yeah really we know what's going to happen about quarter to four when we should be just about winding this up when we're putting everything away four o'clock yeah we do well as our viewers probably know we only have a one camera set up again today camera number two is not functioning properly we got out last time pardon me last night at South oh getting new footballs a little bit but anyway that camera not working so uh we're limited to a one camera setup which for the crew is kind of nice because then you have less or you have half the equipment to put away wow today today that second camera along the mud would just not be good they're Dave over on the right side staying out of the mud I mentioned I said how about the Lakeland show again locker room show hey why not bring it back let's try this now with still an official coming out not good little slow start to the second half Lakeland received the opening kickoff I think I mentioned that they would receive the second kickoff obviously that's not going to be the case they had that opening drive and turned it over on downs and then Concordia got the ball threw the first ball up in the air and was intercepted and then again Lakeland had a chance to drive down and they decided to go on fourth down again and they didn't get it again and Concordia punted and then finally a stop by and fourth down by Concordia and that's when we had that punt where the punter went down to his knee I was going to say I mentioned this in the first half but the field is obviously in terrible shape it's quite treacherous actually when I watch the officials move around it's very difficult for them to get any footing to alrighty we got Roll kicking off carries down taking out about the 16 yard line by the return man Tenet looking and he's not going to get very much picks up maybe a couple on that return it's going to be first in ten for Concordia and the rain is kind of just like a sprinkle right now Marty it's not like really raining but it's just a mist a mist of rain hopefully that'll stop one thing I'm pretty sure we're not going to do is see the sun doesn't look like it I think you're a pretty good predictor alrighty ball spotted on the 22 Nixon remains at quarterback for Concordia he was 10 out of 19 in the first half keeps it and he's going to get pushback he tried to run a couple times but he's four according to the stat sheet here he had four carries for four yards he had a net loss of net loss of 16 cases he didn't do much on the rushing side you're right those are stacks yeah exactly and off to the running back he picks up maybe a couple at best not much ball carrier for Concordia this field is unbelievable Marty just looking at it holy cow third down and eight three wide receivers off to the left at the bottom of your screen there you see him Nixon no time he's going to be sacked inside the 20 good play that time making the sack was mason ross there goes some more of that rushing yardage Chris Ross came into the game fourth leading tackler mason from Pulaski but what dash won on high school a former chain kick is away return man has it and tackles right away Michael win on the nice catch in the short return yeah but great field position the only negative is it's right on that 3540 section you mean that muddy section where would that be that's some of the worst right there that was a quite a field position advantage for muskies wow not a good pun all spotted on about the 36 they have the win there's not a lot of win but they have it breaks, bounces through breaks another tackle broke two tackles on that run and gets the first down down to the 25 Eddie the ball carry pardon me number 22 there you see it Eddie with 7 carries and 40 yards at 6 yards a carry all their backs are averaging about 4 or 5 yards a carry more of the reason to run the football today on the left side of the defense hey 3 or 4 Eddie again short game we get the whistles blowing in the stoppage of the clock somebody hurt where's their penalty hey we got a speaker now Trader Strottie's speaker wasn't working in the first half trotting out for Breyland from Texas under 12 minutes after this play Michael Whitley there's a penalty you can see the left tackle moving prior to the snap that'll cost muskies 5 you would have to go ahead and mention his name Chris hey these are college kids you're a mean guy they can handle it see him in the dark alley see if he can handle it I think that's his second penalty today too just to rub it in a little bit a little salt in the wound he had a block in the back too you know it would really be a bummer if he didn't really have another penalty he's a whole dig Reynlander whole digs and off to Eddie still a tackler still on his feet and lunges forward I think he's got the first down see any flags on the field they just keep pounding that side going behind from we'll give him a little love there for his blocking looks like it's on about the 14 yard line I think right there's one tackler two tacklers three tacklers and finally two guys get them down good blocking on that side whoa Eddie what a move keeps from losing a lot of yardage I don't think he's going to gain much but boy he made a minus four carry into a zero yard carry twisting and turning clock running 11 minutes left in the third quarter graphics are up Lakeland on top 8 to 7 Whitley on a quick pass over the middle couldn't get his receiver pass goes incomplete third down I don't know running the ball was doing so well Marty I agree with you I think sometimes you got to change it up a little bit it's just that it's really tough when that first down run doesn't gain anything that time Concordia able to plug up the hole and stop Eddie I think they'll throw it now this is the third time today Marty they've been down here disappointed that they couldn't get something with points here we got ball on about the 13 yard line it's going to be fourth down and nine they are going for it we've done this plenty of times in the first half so nothing new splits from the left side of the defense and then the pass is knocked down incomplete bring in pressure Chris yep on the outside there wasn't anybody to block there and had to get rid of it quickly and another turnover on downs long possession just couldn't get points out of it ball is on the 13 yard line it's first and 10 for Concordia there's 9.51 left in the third pass is complete that one going to Devin Miller Nixon was just 10 of 19 in the first half 78 yards most of it on that one drive second down pickup of 5 yards on the play another nice short pass gang tackling pushes them back at the 20 that should be enough for just short of the first down by about a yard or so who made that catch Chris Edwards, Dante Edwards got a number on that boy he's from 3rd and 1 Arizona sure he loves the mud really they don't get a lot of this probably down there that's for sure not much going there that's the other thing that makes it really tough is trying to trying to grind out a yard you can't get any footing for your alignment trying to get a push on the defense makes it really tough fourth down Lakeland should have good field position again win back deep had a nice catch a short return last time pitches punt is up in the air high not much of a bounce so seeing that all day with field in such terrible shape ball is going to be dead on the 47 win made a good decision there too it's not going to bounce or carry a lot of holes so you might as well instead of taking the chance let it hit and stop as you've mentioned before kind of like a professional those cannonballs from Waterloo Adam liked that one do a shout out to Adam thanking him for providing us with stats at the end of the first quarter and at halftime makes our job a little easier inside handoff Whitley keeps it but just is able to get back to the line of scrimmage he actually got it into the ball carrier's gut he wanted to clamp down on and all of a sudden it was gone Whitley kept it and tried to go off left tackle picked up a yard on the play it's going to be second down and nine Whitley looking trying to get his receiver Morris but passes off the mark it's hard to be accurate in weather like this and I was thinking it's timing we were thinking the same thing because that's just a timing route you drop back and where he normally would probably be is that would be a good pass but today you got to counter for it being a little slower learned long Whitley looking looking dancing dancing he loots one tackle he's got some room to run he should get the first down here put your head down boy there you go I think he's got it it's going to be very close Whitley making a great decision see how his feet keep moving that's what they teach you at quarterback camp keep those feet moving good job I didn't think he was going to make it there Marty a little happier when he kind of reached out there right across ball is going to be spotted at 48 oh they're going to call him short Marty whoops wait a minute we got first down and then at the Lyre there he goes he just changed it over I thought he got a first down not much but that's okay that's alright keep that clock running that's alright tough part of the field here the 45 to the 35 here worst part of the field 635 and counting all spotted on about the 43 Whitley tucks it down look like he was going to pass and then he pulled it right down and ran it up the middle for a good in well Concordi did that right the end kept him in but there was no defenders for the Falcons in there and Whitley is rubbing on his hand hopefully oh it's just wet that's good look at him he doesn't kind of like bending over a little bit let's watch what happens on this play here I tell you the resolution of our cameras is great that's exactly what it looks like out there when we're looking at it from the booth first back gets hit at pushed back I don't think they got the first down they're going to get a personal foul here Marty roughing the passer after the handoff yeah they just drilled him unnecessary that is called unnecessary roughness that is unnecessary watch this late hit Marty handoff way after not even close that was a killer that was the right call and now that flag is not yellow anymore it's brown you know who's happy about today's weather conditions the laundry service I wonder if they charge by the amount of mud on the uniform it's just a flat rate I want to watch this stuff twice I think they're putting the ball down right at the 20 that could have got that quarterback Michael Whitley hurt yeah you're right nice short pass and get knocked back right after making the grab that's what you got to do though and you know you're going to get hit there long distance throws are just not going to be there for you today gain a three on the play ball on the 17 yard line clock running at five minutes left in the third Lakeland on top eight to seven it's been a struggle for both offenses today given the field conditions but your announcers have been battling through those conditions modeling modeling through I think that's an appropriate term for today right time out is called by Concordia I know we mentioned it before but we'll mention it again our next broadcast will be next Friday when the pier comes to Sheboygan to play Sheboygan south in their homecoming game and I also believe on the north side of town next week Friday is north homecoming I think you're right so both teams will be at home with their homecoming we will be at south we will be back out here to Lakeland University on October 22nd I got it right here who Lakeland is going to play that day they're going to play Wisconsin Luther another holy war okay we got second down seven yards to go ball is on the 17 yard line Lakeland trying to keep the drive alive Eddie has done quite a bit of damage from his running back position Whitley sends him in motion and Whitley on a short pass he's got his receiver for the first down that was Payton Peterson Peterson nice catch he's in the first half that's another big clutch one first down okay it's going to be first and goal it looks like they're spotting the ball on the seven yard line so it's a ten yard pickup on the pass play Whitley oh they run the old off tackle play you can see the I don't know if it was the garter the tackle pulled and led through the hole and a big hole for Whitley and he takes it in for the touchdown good call there Marty we get a replay look on the right side of the line I believe it's the guard there he goes got a good block just enough great block out there by the wide receiver also Kuzlowski I think that was Marty cause senior he's got to get a job next year that's kind of scary I'll go in for two again empty back field faking the jet sweet Whitley keeps it and takes it in again good blocking on the left side of the line and I think Chris you mentioned in the first half they did a lot of running off the left side afterwards Marty there's a little extra curricular activity so somebody's going to get a penalty forced on a kickoff that's overrated I think there was just some some little pushing and shoving looks like it's going to be on Concordia official is looking right at the kid I'm going to call him off setting he pushed me first he pushed he's touching me Chris there's 422 left in the quarter but seems like a bit of a meltdown by the Concordia defense they can't stop the run I wasn't thinking that two big penalties oh that too that personal foul they're not going to get very well I should say this but there's a good prospect of them not getting good field position on this kickoff hopefully the kicker can keep his footing it sounds ironic I'm going to talk about a kicker and feet but again the last thing you want to do is give up like you said turf to the enemy because it's so hard to score a game now nine point lead good kick carries down here the goal line oh it looked like he had an opening to the outside now he's going back the other way trying to get to the outside he's going to get a pretty good return here Chris that was a nice run back by Tennant I'm tired just watching him really I think he ran about 45-50 yards I take it all back Isaiah smart running on your part what? I'll tell you that number 23 for Concordia is just picking off guys left and right he must have thrown at least two maybe three blocks and we don't have a number for that kid well we tried 10 ball into 25 give it to him again couldn't make the magic I'm never a fan of that Marty I'd never like it in the pros or in college a guy runs about 50-60 yards give it to him again on the next play show me what kind of shape you're in all that shake and bake cost him one yard the shake and bake on the kickoff return netted him about 15-20 yards mixing back being pressured as he throws his receiver fell down passes incomplete you'll see good pressure closest closest person to that pass was the defender and again Lakeland sending guys from different directions different people and different looks for the Falcons so it's very difficult I believe for Nixon to pick up where exactly that blitz is coming from a little bit behind the receiver and got to catch the ball first I like that play though that was a good idea let him get it out and open and run get the back out of the back field there wings to the spot they forced Concordia to have to at least line up like they're going to punt it and again some good decisions made you had mentioned it by win last punt let's see what happens here kick is away a real nice punt that time and again not much of a bounce it dies on the 40 it'll be 1st and 10th Lakeland from there maybe almost you'll see the punt and the plop about a 36 yarder he almost better Marty did not even have someone return it I understand what you're saying somebody back there you know what I'm saying just in case something goofy happens you know those balls are so dirty and wet if one flew in the stands I think I'd throw it back wouldn't even want it I don't want that dirty ball alrighty 1st and 10th Lakeland they had an extended drive the last time netted them a 7 yard run for a touchdown handoff I'd tell you who it is for all I could tell 15 Meeks 15 on the carry 2nd down very difficult to pick up numbers really it's tough with Lee's the quarter back Meeks in the backfield splitting the running chore is Chris keeping those running backs fresh and Meeks gets hit in the backfield nothing new in there again nothing wrong with that keep the clock running nothing else just the risk of the passes with it being slippery your receiver can fall down you got a nice 9 point lead on something like an interception for a touchdown or a sack and a fumble I'm not saying don't throw the football Marty I'm just saying don't be afraid to run on a couple downs under 2 minutes left 3rd Lakeland on top 16 to 7 it's been a slog out there passes he had a receiver win wide open just overshot him see now is one of those cases where you overshoot him and next seeing all the safety sitting there whoops that could be trouble but that one I didn't disagree with that pass play and it was a good pass play something that they've had some success with I think this is the first punt for Lakeland in the 2nd half Brandon Pruberno mentioned his name he's brilliant he's doing the punting he's got remember Jacob Pruberno he got a late hit before he had one where he had to pick it up off the ground yeah the knee don't actually of all the punts today that one bounced the furthest kind of had a little side spin on he aimed for the hard mud or maybe it's getting colder the mud is freezing but in either case it was a nice punt it's like 60 degrees Marty but it feels like about 35 just a dampness in the air all spotted right on the 20 October 1st too September is coming gone Chris only about 10 more months of school left we have another year in it's got to be pretty exciting no handoff to the running back who found a big hole against 10 yards Grace Grace had a 10 yard run in the first half that's the biggest chunk of Russian they've had fake handoff gets it out to the wide receiver puts his head down picks up a few yards that was Kevin Fulker pick up a five on that play makes it second down and five ball on about the 35 yard line clock is running 36 seconds left Nixon getting the signals from the sideline he keeps it running it up the middle short he might have the first down he got it up over the 40 he needed to get it to about the 40 yard line so he should have a first down they didn't give it to him yet Marty they're going backwards the officials kind of going the umpire there's going to the side now he's coming back out to the regular and now clock ran out while they were making all those adjustments one so not quite a first down that time taking care of a family member can lead to plenty of questions fortunately there's a place to get the answers for them and for you find articles tips and tools from experts and others who

show solidarity as a parent there are no perfect answers but you don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent thousands of teens in foster care will love you just the same alrighty third down in less than a yard Nixon's got a dirty helmet Chris take the jet suite keeps it no way good play by the Lakeland defense and I'll tell you there was a lot of defenders around in that time watch this fake the jet sweep keep it and the initial hit stopped them Pribirnall was in there that was Pribirnall making that hit Chris fourth down they're going to go for it look at the mud on those jerseys and it's a tough part of the field for Concordia he's got his receiver avoids one tackler and gets the first down it's blowing up right at the 50 what a hit interesting call but it worked Bryce on the catch number 34 to be first in 10 could have got a stop there but again with this turf it's hard this isn't necessarily all bad because they're doing it little bit, little bit, little bit they're chewing up the clock like crazy we're in the fourth quarter there's 14 minutes left in the ballgame just don't let them get a big play maybe eventually you can stop them wide receiver 3 out to the left going the other way and woefully short of the wide receiver Kevin Holcker watch this throw Marty he can't get a grip it's a quick timing pattern as you've mentioned for two days now just to get a grip on the ball we've seen how he can throw a ball Aaron Nixon's got a nice little arm but it just doesn't work in this slop in the slot on the right side is Tyler Majeski Nixon spots an opening goes 40 to the voids one tackler and then his knee goes down at about the 45 if he could have held his balance he'd have gained more yardage but again the ground conditions are just terrible it's going to be fourth down and about five so the ball is in Lakeland territory 13 minutes left in the ballgame Lakeland sending the house and quarterback gets hit but he does complete the pass for a loss of yardage Chris Dixon makes the night play because you send a blitz you can send your D-backs up a little bit good read by Dixon makes the stop forces Concordia into another fourth down attempt got it last time but that was only on fourth and one fourth down and probably Chris mentioned that pass for zero yards a great defensive play Lakeland coming he's not going to get it he fumbles the ball trying to spin off tacklers but can't it's going to be Lakeland ball near the 50 yard line on a mob of Lakeland tacklers there good job by the defense you're right there Chris they were swarming well they held Concordia just 93 yards in the first half they don't have a lot here in the second half either watch this, watch the ball pop out I got it I got it and then look at all this Lakeland there had to be seven, eight Lakeland shirts right there I think based on the mud and dark color of the jersey nine play drive Chris had chewed up a lot of clock and they got nothing all in great field position besides yep well we're at the 1204 mark I like to take about four or five minutes off the clock here Jody Harrison is the wide out on the right side way at the top of your screen Michael Whitley handing off to uh, I think that's Eddie he gets thrown back flag, flag flag from without telling Marty yeah, came flying in yellow that's because there hasn't been any passing or frances because they haven't looks like they're going to get number eight on the penalty in the bronze jersey or the bronze jersey and we got them injured player Marty what's the call on first of all Terry has got a little bit of wash to do when he gets home tonight that Concordia player gets up and walks off the field that's always good to see baseball season two days left Marty yeah, it's well I like watching baseball, I like box scores and always follow it and all that stuff and then when it's not there oh you miss it for a while that's for sure you got the playoffs which will last another three or four weeks but you got a little dig on Bob Wetzin this morning with his Cardinals they're in a little bit of hurt and the Fridge family yeah, Ed's not too happy about that I'm sure for Tom first down in 20 Whitley on a little swing pass, nice catch by Eddie but yeah, he's not going to go anywhere that's okay tick, tick, tick, tick, keep the clock moving 11.34 still a lot of time this was high school, we'd just be starting the fourth quarter staying bounds no running clock today just don't turn it over boys yep, look at him just trying to now the mud is so thick I mean it's gotten turf there's no, it's not just slippery it's like thick, like you're walking down in those deep mud, sinking I think we're going to have to call Scotty's landscaping on on Monday coming in to fix the field third down and long thinking about third and 15 Paul is spotted right on the 45 Whitley looking quick pass over the middle, he's got his receiver trying to get up a block he does, he's got the first down Smith spinning and is knocked down inside the 35, 25 yard line he's low with a great catch and run there you see it, spin off there we go first and 10 Lakeland big first down Marty again it goes back to running the clock for a couple more minutes he can run off the clock Concordia doesn't have the football 31 yard gain on that play inside handoff Meeks keeps his balance Steve Reagan freshman from Hobart, Indiana number 64 with a nice block pick up of about 5 on the run keeps the drive alive Paul is also deep in Concordia territory at the 19 Lakeland really grinding it out this afternoon Chris hasn't been pretty but certainly been effective handoff, ball carrier gets taken down behind the line a scrimmage, a loss of a yard you look at some of these players they look like they've been in mud wrestling really not football it's just solid mud I can't tell you the nose guard the two nose tackles up front Marty I cannot identify their jerseys, let's just put it that way Whitley throwing a high one and it's going to be intercepted they're saying it hit the ground first bit of a break there for Lakeland the idea was good the pass was short can't get a grip fourth down fourth down Paul's on the 20 pass over the middle incomplete, again a dangerous location for those passes they didn't deliver the knockout blow Marty so a little life left in Concordia not showing much except for one drive way back in the second quarter the 13 minute mark when they scored to take a 7-0 lead but since then they haven't done much of anything, they do have the wind if they want to call it that it isn't a factor like it was last night, that's for sure handoff to the running back trying to grind out some yardage and does, gets it up over the 20 8-28 6 or like you like to say again if the Concordia line can hold the front one of those receivers gets by one of the defenders who slips could score quickly so far the pressure by the muskies has been daunting they haven't been afraid to blitz today either good blocking up front Nixon gets the pass away and he's got his receiver he's hit immediately it's going to be a completion outside the 40 yard line there you can see again when he has time he's got a real good arm Marty look at that and he can get a good grip didn't catch who that receiver was number 5 thanks Adam that was Dante Edwards first and 10 ball on the 40 now we're getting to the slippery stuff between the 40 and the 40 talked about that all day oh he's knee down it should be down it should be down Terry come on look at that there's mud on his knee oh man I'm glad we don't have to walk home through that to our car it's muddy even walking to the to the truck the grass isn't dug up there it's dug up quite a bit third long look at that turf 620 and coning this is amazing the mud bowl not the cheese bowl Nixon sacked way back at about the 30 yard line no celebrating boys go call it the 31 I believe and they're going to punch Marty well you almost have to don't you I mean it's not like you know guys are open and you're missing them on your passes no but you're down to 4 minutes 45 seconds left there was a good kick and a pretty nice roll pick it up don't drop it he avoids one tackler but can't avoid the second and he gets it over the 20 yard line maybe the 21 they got what they wanted Marty they flipped the field it's up to Lakeland now to hang on to the football run some clock spotting the ball and I believe it's the 21 Lakeland has it I think Chris mentioned time is definitely a factor now two score game being 16 to 7 Lakeland and there's only 5 22 left throw it I don't like that idea I believe in running the clock especially when you're up by two scores in a close tough muddy running back breaks through gets it out to 25 and we get a whistle they're in a tough spot Chris you almost got to start calling them early you can't let the clock hope to stop them when there's 3 minutes left I don't like this call though personally I don't like a timeout on second down because all of a sudden get a first down you just gave one up I'd wait till after third down because there's still 5-14 left and you need two scores I just never liked unless it's under like 2 minutes where you start to have to call it there's still 5-14 I think the theory behind what coach is doing for Concordia coach Eder can serve as much time as possible because it's a two score game I just think you need it's a one score game I say you're probably more right in that situation but I think in this situation I just wait till one more down I just wait because what if Lakeland would get a first down here and now he just wasted it doesn't matter anyway and you still have your 3 in the pocket you've got to count on your defense you've got to stop and you need two scores I think pretty soon we're going to have to call the game because we can't read the numbers another inside handoff running back Meeks gets hit right away knock down just imagine Concordia too they have to get on a bus but they can shower first they'll let them shower here before they have to ride that too will be a mess what a mess in that locker room now they're not calling time out which basically is the same as they just did Lakeland is going to let it run down there's 20 seconds on the plate clock and running you should wait you should wait keep waiting you can see it the quarterback can see it right in front of him good job there Michael very smart play Whitley on a fake pass keeps it, tucks it down he depends on the box first down first down and that was big Lakeland 4 minutes 10 o'clock Lakeland with a 2 score lead looking good don't turn the ball over boys all out blitz by the Falcons and they're going to get Meeks in the run it's okay you're still up by 2 time out Concordia T.O. by them of course on second down come on Chris something's a negative 3 3 well you get a first down here Marty and it's pretty much over absolutely right they're out of time out last night we talked about the defenders not knowing where the offensive people were going especially when they were throwing passes you would think that'd be a similar situation here today with the rain but it seems like it's totally different I mean the offense has not gained any advantage in this not on this field anyway you'd think to be a slip or something or a receiver there has been some slippage and guys open and I I know the Lakeland offense is on the field but the Lakeland defense has provided a lot of pressure for Nixon right here Aaron Hick Nixon he's keep it on the ground get it under 2 minutes pardon me under 3 minutes and off Meeks slipped on the cut and then he gets a watch this replay as he's punching at the ball that's just not good football and that should be it that 15 yards help the cause 30-30 left mind it down 25 seconds so should bring it down to at the very least to about a minute and a half Dave Concordia that is has got key penalties during the second half that have resulted in Lakeland maintaining possession of the ball keeping drives alive and I understand the intent is to knock the ball out you gotta be smart about it everybody in the Lakeland stand saw it and it looked real good on our monitor too great replay Scott a lot of great replays today Richard Bartzen on that top camera doing a great job following all the action too he's had a day he's had a weekend 2 days already wonder if it's easier for him to follow the ball a highlight game versus an eighth game I would think so except with the brown ball with the brown shirts except for both teams are wearing brown jerseys under three and something we didn't count on coming in today is that running the football would be the key right Lakeland is going to be but we thought it might in the opening just because of the turf ball better a team that's going to come out on top do you think that maybe Lakeland will change their offensive philosophy even when it's a nice field no Minks trying to get the corner didn't quite make it don't run out of bounds loss of a yard on the play had a healthy opt Morris you're outside get back you're way outside you're way outside he's getting back up the middle gets it over midfield fourth down fourth and seven I'd just as soon run the ball I would risk yeah I won't risk a punt I won't even risk a punt he might call time out I wouldn't even do that well he could call time out with a second left on the play clock it's going to roll down under a minute there's seven seconds on the play clock and we are now under a minute left and Lakeland does call a time out just prior to the play clock running out so it will be fourth down I think they're going to send out the punt squad Chris but in the bay Chris Bartzen on the top camera Chris Maloff in the truck our director Miguel Mendes our student helper today Sarah Balzer was also here earlier helping with setup Chris Wright and I'm Mike Martin enjoy bringing you today's ball game it's always nice to bring home a winner to Chris I mean they couldn't have done it without us need a good snap boys get that kick away Concordia will be coming not a very good kick but it's alright 9.9 ticks on the clock coming on Concordia to get two scores and a defense that's been stellar today yes sir they certainly haven't been bashful about sending nope the blitz oh boy I'm going to add three seconds three seconds Dennis we all thought you were doing so great I'm going to add three seconds oh well we're going to spot the ball on 36 is that back your D backs up you don't want any slips here watch for a screen over to the side here to your right side Marty they're still sending blitzers ball is fumbled and Nixon gets it back to the line of scrimmage clock is rolling Marty here you'll see it I'll give credit to Jonah Carlson he's the center for Lakeland as opposed to the Concordia center Nixon makes a good move to avoid the sack but then he does get sacked and we're going to get a pull down by the helmet and that's going to be a big penalty on Lakeland Kevin Lewis Lewis made a good stop but then got to lay off the helmet bad thing is it stops to clock too but and that was your safety coming up Marty to make that play so again sending people from different directions ball is going to be spotted on the 49 after that penalty 26 seconds left I heard a whistle yeah me too Nixon looking down the field slips by one tacker and another then throws it up another grabs and the pass is knocked away it's incomplete second down 13.7 seconds left right there at about the 45 Marty 43 of Lakeland there's like a sod sticking out oh yeah I see that but probably two plays left even if they score you have to do an onside and a score and that's basically he could get a sack it's over yeah anything besides a first down or a touchdown and this is over pick it up and this one's over there will be no miracle finishes today you can't tell me that Dennis does a really good job so it's not like he's Dennis it's not your fault close to a illegal procedure and that pass goes incomplete it's going to be fourth down Chris any comments regarding the game because we'll wrap it up right after this last play defense defense thought the defense did a great job one possession is all that Concordia had a chance to score one can we give MVPs to the defensive coordinator because I thought he called a great game how many times do you say they're sending to house and from different directions only three rushers that time Nixon Boyd's one taper throws it up and it's incomplete and that should be the ball game no penalties Lakeland a winner in a slugfest on a sloggy field they went at 16-7 you done don't nod your head they can't hear you Chris is done so are we thank you for watching our next game will be next Friday when we're at Cheboygan South host Depeer for homecoming with that congratulations to Lakeland on a 16-7 win and we'll see you down the road thanks to the staff for their work
