over the pirates. about 110 miles separate the two campuses. north carolina goes to 3-0 for the first time since 1997. they finished 11-1 that year. so carolina north wins it, 31-17 over east carolina. "college football scoreboard" is up next on espn2. this has been a presentation of espn, the world wide leader in sports. for ray bentley and our entire entire, terrific production crew, i'm pam ward. we say so long from chapel hill and send it back to bristol. >> pam, thank you very much. we take you straight out to minnesota, where the gophers are hanging around, number six cal, though, leading 28-21. jahvid best with four touchdowns this afternoon. that brings his season total to seven. >> only one running back this decade has won the heisman trophy and that's reggie bush. so maybe a second win. >> an early vote? >> early vote, yes. >> again, cal leading early, but

minnesota tied it up twice and -- not the stadium opener, this is their second week in the new stadium but still the gophers are refusing to go quiet. >> they've dropped nen a row against ranked opponents, this obviously will be a huge win for minnesota. they're hanging around, down seven points. but cal trying to break a four-game losing streak on the road as well. so couple of streaks going head-to-head here. cal, who jumped out early, looked very good. but sloppy mistakes. muffed punt, one of their best players at cornerback. and return specialist. they have let minnesota back in the game but a chance here it the game but a chance here it looks like to put things away. captioning provided by espn, inc. ricky stanzi and his iowa club getting set to face arizona.

his career record, 10-3. that's coming up right here on espn2 at the bottom of the hour. the rest of you will see a top 20 matchup. zac lee and number 19 nebraska at number 13, virginia tech. we'll certainly know a great deal more about both of these teams at the conclusion of this one. we welcome you, everybody. robert smith, todd. i am wendi nix. glad you are with us. hyping a game at the horseshoe, the usc trojans came calling on the buckeyes and it was ohio state that came up short. it did live up to the hype. this week, however, ohio state trying to shake off the rush, terrelle pryor and company putting behind them looking to bounce back. pryor deep over the middle to stanz stanz sta stanzenbacher. >> he scored the same later nerst quarter.

deja vu. to stanzen bacher. 18-yard touchdown reception. >> ohio state led 14-0 that the point. 38-0 with just under three points to play in the first quarter. terrelle pryor you can see his numbers barely in on the ground. 12 rushes for 110 yards. >> anyone else play on offense? >> and a touchdown. there's been some discussion about jim tressel and his conservative play-calling. the fact that he was playing it close to the vest. as robert said earlier, pun intended. this week, though, robert you felt that terrelle pryor was given a little bit more of rope to work with? >> i think that he loosen said up his game a little bit too. young players, just don't read your press clippings because you are never as good or bad as you say you are and i think that what you find with the players who get that label of running quarterback, they try to prove to too many people that they can throat football. so they throw the football below they do have opportunities to run it. i think when you looked at terrelle pryor today i think that he took advantage of those situations and he put a little bit more pressure on the defense

because he was able do that. he's a duel threat quarterback. don't worry about what anybody has to say about what you're supposed to be as a quarterback. go out and play the way you know that you can play. >> speech from robert smith. >> yes, a soap box time. >> yes, i like that. >> stand up, did you hear, robert smith on his soap box. meanwhile, let's check in with number four alabama. north texas is the opponent this afternoon. nick saban fired up, and why not? later in the first quarter alabama up 7-0. greg mcelroy the play-action fake here. fires down deep downfield to marquis mayes. >> one of the north texas defensive lineman is trying to rush and he just gave up and laid down. >> i don't blame him. >> mcelroy dumps out a pass to mark ingram. he will move, jive. >> the jive ihear you. >> a whole lot more of where that came from. >> mcelroy is sharp.

>> north texas hoping to get this one away i'm assuming. under five points to play in the fourth quarter. >> when you are playing in virginia tech you are able to play north texas a couple of weeks later. >> rule book. >> would you quit knocking north tex texas, what's wrong with you. >> talking about quitting. >> so nice see joepa back on the sidelines this year. darrell clark uses the play-action fake. finds, who is that, mickey schuler in the end zone and the nittany lions strike first. clark, again, his intended target this time is deric moy. penn state up 21-3. 31-6. now the score, darrell clark, 16 of 26. 167 yards. two touchdowns and an interception. but apparently, ladies and gentlemen, guys, for todd, you have some concerns about the quarterback. >> no, seriously, he played well at time. he just saw the highlights. but when you look at his game

and what he did today, i think it shows the frustration that the young wide receivers and not being in the same page sometimes. some of the throws he made, i think he believed the receiver was going to turn outside when he was going to turn in and expecting wide receivers to cut open and you just didn't see consistently that he understood what was going on with his wideouts. there you see the throw. maybe it was an overthrow. bottom line is he didn't seem like he was in a rhythm. here, trying to run the ball down. his wide receiver's not actually his running back not following what he's looking to do and so it doesn't matter in this game. they're winning 31-6 and he's obviously thrown a couple of touchdown passes but when you start to look forward to the big ten schedule and tougher opponents i think something that they need to clear up in order to get to that next level of their offense. >> do we have a good read, robert, on penn state that the point? >> i really don't think we do. and looking at their schedule, there was no reason to believe that we would have a good read on them at this point. the one thing that i will say though in watching this game closely today on a few occasions

was able to see that the defensive line of temple seemed to be getting a little bit of push into that offensive line of penn state. few starters being replaced there on both the offensive line and the defensive line of penn state. that's got to give you a little bit of concern and bill cosby has a lot of great things to say about temple. strong defensive line they're not known for so has to be a little bit of concern if you're a penn state fan. >> cal, as indicated earlier, averaging 55 points per game. that's third in the bcs. jahvid best, huge in this one. best, the run. and 33 yards later, he'll have a touchdown to his credit. another one. cal up 7-0. >> go ahead, knock the cameraman again, robber. >> couldn't keep up with him. it's more of a compliment to best plan a knock on the cameraman. >> weber to eric decker. now watch this hit. you have to be tough and he certainly was. holding onto the football. decker would get stitches but you know what, he returns. there's no crying in football. >> boy i tell you, just a great

job of body control, field awareness and he knew that hit was coming. that's a man's man! >> weber pitch to decker, throws the pass. and marquis gray for the touchdown. game tied at 21 right there and the gophers sticking around. jahvid best. this would be his fourth score. he runs it right on in. he now has seven touchdowns on the season. again, bit of an issue with the cameraman. 25-21, it appears as though with just under three minutes in the fourth quarter cal will hang on and survive this game. >> if cal went for it fourth and one around the 35, 40 yard line and got it. but they had to go and review the spot. there's a huge play. because minnesota would have gotten the ball back with an opportunity to go score and instead, cal capitalizes. they get the first down, go down and score and now they're up two touchdowns. >> they're not being outshined. they're looking california and feeling california. >> some bonus coverage right now as we go to espnu. kentucky leading louisville, two minutes to play in the fourth quarter. the score, 31-27.

>> justin berth, the louisville quarterback, has a tip and intercepted! sam maxwell. flags come in late. >> referee: after the interception, clipping, number 55 on the return team. hampt half of the distance to the goal. >> evans tipped it. sam maxwell caught it. >> you'll see again throat ball. tip at the line of scrimmage and you will see maxwell, number 50, to make plathat play. they call him a playmaker. they say some the greatest

instinctings on that defensive side of the ball and sometimes when you're a playmaker you have to be at the right place at the right time and there's maxwell to capitalize on that opportunity. >> second louisville turnover today and it comes at a critical time. >> again, 31-27, kentucky trying to start 2-0 for the third consecutive season. they won 11 straight nonconference home games. the last loss 2005 against, who else, but louisville. meanwhile, duke and kansas, mark mangino, the number 22 jayhawks facing duke. tod reesing, how many times did we say this last year? reesing to kerry meyer, the diving catch with the score. kansas with the 27 lead. >> so intelligent in terms of his reads and how quickly he gets the ball out. good wide receivers too who knows where to go on the field. >> batius lewis here but i'm

afraid that's a mistake. interception. it is returned 48 yards for the touchdown. kansas will take a 27-7 advantage. the score now 37-16. 5:51 to go. coming off of the big win against notre dame, number 25 michigan with a chance to start the season 3-0. that would match their win total from 2008. forcier the starter, carlos brown rushes up the middle. they're in the big house. the nine-yard score. wolverines leading 12-3. >> absorb that statement for a second. matching total. >> in week three. >> absorbed this run, too. >> how exactly, 90 yards. that's going to help the cause. >> and like i've said tait forcier's gotten so much attention that it's opening up things on the inside game for michigan. >> forcier here drops back to pass. he gets hit pretty hard there. he stayed down and it was actually pretty scary. he did not move i would say about two minutes but he did and was able to walk off of the field on his own.

45-17. this is a final. michigan, who broke into the top 25 with that win over notre dame, how big is this. >> well, it's huge that they're able to hold on and it's huge also that forcier just had the wind knocked out of him. will not miss any time moving forward but certainly a scary moment in the big house. >> it's good also for denard robinson who got a few snaps. >> good point. >> thank you. yeah i proved that point. >> disappoint, approved by todd mcshay. >> it is good. we have agreement and certainly if you are rich rodriguez you have to be breathing just a tad. somewhat of a sigh of relief, given all of the turmoil, everything that happened last year, and at the start of this year with the practice hours and all of the hubbub about that. what do we been this michigan team, how good could they be. >>. >> we obviously than they've beatane very good notre dame team. the quarterback position is in great hands. they're getting better and seeing more diversity from the offense every week and we also

know that the defense have holes. they've given up a lot of rushing yards. 129 rushing yards to the half at eastern michigan. will achgt them. indiana's on the schedule next. should be 4-0 to start the season. that's a huge improvement. as you said two wins a year ago. what a turnaround for the wolverines. >> yeah what a turnover. what we know, wendi nix, happy birthday to you. >> thank you. you had to do that didn't you. >> old enough to rent a car on her own. i wanted to say that that. >> 25 great years, thank you. >> i know. off of what todd said, given up all of those rushing yards you look directly that the defensive line, so it's a problem not just because they can't stop the run but they're not able to generate much of a pass rush. and i think apart from brandon graham really on that defensive line, there aren't a whole lot of players back so that's something they're going to have to work on as they get into the heavier part, the heavier lifting in the big ten schedule. >> i'm more of a happy birthday off-of-the-air type of guy. >> we don't want to put under

the bus just yet. >> the we want everybody to send you cupcakes. >> i got plenty. right here on espn2 we'll see nebraska and virginia tech. it is this time of the year week three where we get to sense who is headed where. a great game coming up at 3:30. the mcdonald's mcdouble. it's a double for a single. on the dollar menu everyday. that's what we're made of. ♪ ba da ba ba ba

kirk ferentz big 10 coach of the year getting set to take on arizona. game coming up 3:30 eastern right here on espn 2. butch davis getting his number 24 unc tar heels ready to face the east carolina. t.j. yates drops back and launches one. jheranie boyd makes the tough catch. 59 yards later, 14-7, north carolina. >> a big concern for north carolina, losing those great receivers from last year. and as you saw in this game today, some of those young guys really starting to step up. >> next, east carolina possession, dwayne harris takes

snap. runs it in for the score. tied at 14-14. ryan houston takes the handoff. fights his way into the end zone. 31-17, and that would be the final. and robert, you talked about the kicking game. we did, speaking of off-the-air conversations, what is your concern with in in one? >> i think it can be the forgotten phase of games so many times. there are hidden yards and hidden points really in special teams you know what i look back into that first half, there was a play where east carolina had an opportunity to block a punt here. guys got to get to the block point. you don't go for the block where the punter is. you have to go where the punt will come off of his foot. he only got a 28-yard punt out of that but they ended up turning the ball over. north carolina goes down and scores and then on this play here, you can see they get the kicked bro eed blocked. when you look at special teams it's so crucially important to be in control of the game in special teams because you never know what that play is going to be that at the end of the day

could have turned the tide. >> i'll focus on the positive real quick. you mentioned the wide receivers, erik highsmith, number 88 -- >> feisty today. >> i am a little bit. highsmith taking over his number 88. had a huge game, over 100 yards receiving. a true freshman that nobody thought would contribute this year, takes over the starting job and now he's become the go-to receiver for t.j. yates. an offensive struggle against uconn last week but found its rhythm today. impressed with yates and the north carolina offense. >> yeah that highsmith kid he looked really -- you could tell he's a young kid. very tall. spinnedly guy but he will fill out in that frame. he'll look like hakeem nicks a few years. with excellent hands and something that you love to see out of young receivers is actually getting their hands extending from their body, catching the ball cleanly. >> every week they get another game under their belt, the learning curve continues. 3:30 on abc it's a battle of top 20 teams when virginia take hosts nebraska. the hokies have won 31 straight

home games against nonconference opponents. that dates back to 1998. nebraska by the way have owned the past nine. beating texas a&m. here's holly rowe. >> reporter: i'm holly rowe with blacksburg, virginia, where virginia tech takes on nebraska. now the last time the hokies faced a defensive front this physical, was in game one against alabama. and they came away with just 64 yards rushing. virginia tech coach frank beamer told me friday he saw a spark last week against marshall with his two freshman running backs. he said we might have something here. ryan williams and david wilson combined to break 21 tackles and wilson went on to rush for 165 yards. just how fast is the true freshman? wilson told me that he actually ran down a rabbit right down here on the practice fields. for nebraska coach bow pelini said last year after the five-point loss to tech, he felt

like hand the game on a silver platwer costly penalties and turnovers. he said, i left that game fil g feeling like we're the better team. they'll vey chance to prove it today in blacksburg. >> holly, thank you very much. let's talk a minute about tyrod taylor. the quarterback, came into this season, i wouldn't say defensive, but almost about his ability to though the ball. he wanted to throw it more. he said i know that everybody's asking that question. of course he's thinking about his future in the national football league. and todd, as you say, he's almost been hesitant to run the ball. what's important for him to do today? >> i think it's just that. he has to get back to being a duel threat quarterback and that's what made him a great player in high school and showed flashes of being a great player early on in his career. you look at this defense for nebraska, they're outstanding up fronts. big number 93 will do a great job versus the traditional run. last year taylor rushed for 70 yards and that's biggest difference. the leading rusher he will have to run and throw today if get a win. >> dance with the girl you're brought as they say. >> thank you. >> back out to espnu for the

final play. >> louisville and kentucky. >> in trouble. heeves it down field. complete. game over. kentucky wins. what a wonderful football game and it comes down to the final play and the governor's cup goes to -- >> so it is a final, 31-27, kentucky over louisville. >> and mike hart loin from klin efficient passing. >> governor's cup and it will stay with kentucky for one more season. robert, we'll get your thoughts now on virginia tech. nebraska, we talked about the hokies' quarterback. what's critical for you in this game? >> i think when you look at this

nebraska team, a lot of people think that now it's been almost exclusively a running team. but zac lee, he's done just an incredible job there at quarterback. but the running game is also dangerous and that should be a concern for virginia tech. they gave up 268 yards rushing against alabama earlier in the year so they've had some problems on their defensive line so this nebraska offense, a lot more balanced than people would realize. >> picking up what i'm putting down with the upset special or what. >> picking up with what i'm putting down! what? >> i don't know if it's an upset special but -- >> yeah, i like them. >> so then it is? >> yeah. i agree. i wouldn't say i agree with you but -- >> no. >> no upset special in austin? >> no. >> not going to happen again. it is a rematch. the red raiders looking to upset the second ranked longhorns and claim their first-ever win on the road against a top five opponent and then a whole blood match thing.

we send you out now to austin. >> reporter: i'm lisa saltners austin, where the red raiders of texas tech will be without two of their defensive starters saturday fight. defensive end raison henley and safety franklin mitchell did not travel with the team. henley has a right ankle injury and mitchem's arm has been in a sling all week. the raiders will have their service of their number one receiver ke receiver detron lewis. lewis did makethe trip and fully participated in practice the last two days. >> lisa, thank you. taylor potts who stepped in for graham harrell and performed admirably, 430 passing yards per game and nine touchdown passes. on the flipside, colt mccoy we know what he can do. todd, do you expect to see anything different tonight against this texas tech defense. >> i report into see a different colt mccoy know that the colt mccoy that we saw last year in

lubox, texas. really out of his own game plan in terms of being stuck in the pocket and having to throw the ball down the field. texas tech did a great job. they rushed 3-4. dropped seven into coverage. played a lot of zone. bottled up mccoy and made him throw down the which he doesn't like to do. this year we're seeing more of these underneath throws. quick dump-offs. he's got kirkendall. young wide receiver. i just think that they have better receivers, in terms of their elusiveness. i think he's going to have a big game. >> yeah and this texas tech defense, they've lost a couple of guys from last year and got somebody hurt this year on the defensive line, also one of their safeties out in this one. so i think texas has a much better chance and some those young rshs have started to step up, mcgee and newton, d.j., mon row, fazi, whitaker. all of those guys are doing better. texas the interesting thing for me is sergio kindle.

ten sacks a year ago. in the first two games this year only five tackles. no sacks yet. i think it's going to be important for him to get pressure on taylor potts. now you don't generally sack texas tech quarterbacks a whole lot but you can disrupt their rhythm by getting some pressure on them. >> history is not always the best indicator of what it is to expect but if it is the texas tech defense has a few things to worry about. they do not fare well in austin. they've lost the last five games and they travel to austin by an average of 28 points per game. i won't get it done tonight i believe. >> they've been brutal on the road. >> they've been brutal on the road. coming up 3:30 eastern, tyrod taylor and the

well, the university of

southern equal fresh off of their win over ohio state, getting set for washington. that coming up at 3:30. >> reporter: friends find themselves on opposite sidelines today. pete sarkisian, pete carroll. start with you, steve, in seven years together, what was the defining characteristic of your friendship. >> for me it was just a learning curve. how much information could i take and just try to be a sponge all the way through it. not only on the field but off of the field and off of the things that go into it an i was very lucky to have them. >> reporter: when he took the washington job, what was some friendly advice you offered. >> just telling him about being himself. that's alwayses case. he's got system and stuff in hand but you have to be yourself to pull this thing together and get working right. >> reporter: what trait that he has shown, do you want to emulate here at washington? >> relentless. everything we're doing, pete's been relentless in recruiting. he's been relentless in his ability to stay on the competitive edge so far as schemewise and conditioning and that's the same mentality we're

taking here. >> reporter: the friendly banter continues. this week, how would you best describe the communication between you two. >> none. >> reporter: not really? >> we didn't talk much at all. >> reporter: conference rivals going forward, how does the friendship survive? >> well, we get to play them once a year. recruit a little bit. it's one game in week. >> reporter: you've said that competition among friends is most meaningful to you. why is that? >> it just always has been i think because of the respect and how much i like the guys. i would like to beat the heck out of them and i know they feel the same way about it and it's, to me, a sign of respect towards them. >> reporter: gentlemen, thank you. good luck. >> it's easy, i suppose, to describe your communication when in is none. that about sums it up. we do want to address the quarterback situation at usc. ostensibly anyway, it's a game-time decision. matt about,ly suffering from a bruised shoulder from last week's win over ohio state. it appearance that aaron corp will get nod at least to start.

todd, how do you compare these two quarterbacks. >> with corp you've got more mobility. we've heard everyone talk all week about more mobility. what does that mean, it does not mean that they will change their offense. usc when they get out boot and the waggles the plays that they like to run you will see the quarterback take off and run and rather than just throw while on the move and i think that's a positive that he brings and don't count on corp from having a great game because you have to understand this is a guy wo expected this to be his turn. he got injured in camp after going head-to-head with matt barkley and now all of a sudden, he sits back, watches the success barkley has and now he gets a shot. i think he's going to come up big for usc. >> when i look at this washington team, they've got five coaches that were on that usc staff and it's not just steve sarkisian, the head coach. you have nick holt, who was a defensive coordinator at usc. now talentwise, they don't match up very well, but no team in the country will have a better idea of what to do schematically against this usc team. and i think something that's huge for this game to watch for is the fact that ronald johnson

isn't in there, really damion williams is really the only proven receiver that you have. what that means defensively for nick holt i think that you need to drop one of those safeties down into the box, and for me i would rather have that guy on the weak side because way have a lot of times with joe mcknight and the runs he does, he likes to cut those things back and you also talked about aaron corp on those boots and waggles and coming out on the backside, you bring that safety down to the weak side of the formation, and take some of that away. >> the other big game today, lane kiffin will coach his first conference game as the head coach of the tennessee volunteers. oh, and what a game it is. he travel little to swamp. quickly, todd, what does he have to do to keep his tennessee around. >> get a quarterback to not turn the football over. jonathan crompton struggled, three interceptions a week ago. he's got to get more efficient play out of that quarterback position. >> yeah and when you talk about the offensive line which lane kivhinmentioned part of the problem and put the blame on some his own shouldperse hooeer. he does call the plays there for

tennessee. have to do a much better job and obviously his father, monte kiffin, the defensive coordinator there for tennessee, has to come up with some sort of scheme to slow down this florida offense. you're not going to stop them. >> they've been talking about this game since his introductory press conference. >> he's going to say rocky top tonight. >> he hopes to sing "roke top." send you out on your game. some of you will see iowa orars.

iowa hawkeyes and arizona wildcats. somebody's perfect record will be tarnished today. hi, everybody, mike patrick. craig james, great to have you with us. both teams 2-0, they've beaten the clubs they're supposed to. today we found out what they have. >> both coaching staffs, this is the game they want to show up and prove what they have. i think the winner of this ball grahame ended the top 225. mike stoops said it's the most athletic team he had. kirk said he wishes it was october. he has work do do withe.c+fñ>b

running attack at arizona today. they have to be diversified in

multiple presentation. >> mike: sell-out field in iowa. iowa won 39 of 47 here since 2002. kick-off minutes away. in iowa city.

what is cloud computing? a cloud is a workload optimized, service management platform enabling... ...new consumption and delivery models. it's what? my cloud does email. lowers my energy bill. shares pictures. we collaborate on our cloud. i develop software in my cloud. i want a cloud that understands risk. ...compares patient histories... ...predicts traffic patterns. my cloud is... everywhere. my cloud is secure. simple. powerful. flexible. that's what we're working on. i'm an ibmer. let's build a smarter planet.

iowa city, a great place to

visit. getting nicer here today. it's in the mid 70s. no chance of rain. light winds. a great day for college football game. arizona's won the toss. they deferred until the second half. so iowa will receive. the black and cold will send out amare spievey. and they're teed up at the 30. 70,000 plus, a filled stadium and we are under way. high and short.

he'll get a chance to meet the number two rusher in the country this afternoon. krrg second and ten, robinson, up to the 33, gain of eight and a nice run by robinson, a redshirt freshman who will share the running back duties today as cory hall made the tackle. check out the starting line-ups on the top of your screen. >> mike: you see mike stoops wins the toss. defers, they call him a no-name defense. no weakness in this defense. he's trying to put the strength of this team to start. >> mike: only giving up 415 yards, craig. third and two. incomplete. crowd wants a flag and they get it late.

treven wade for the second time broke up a pass but he may have gotten there early. >> referee: dan capron, our big ten referee today. >> referee: pass interferns number 24 on deet fence. first down. >> mike: wade only has a couple interceptions. >> craig: see right away the speed in the arizona defense. covering up. it's the right call and he was being held. but he's got to work that. receivers got to work hard to get open today. nice play fake by stanzi. what a catch by mcnut.

shortstop reached out and plucked that one out of the air. >> craig: talk about mcnut. back into the vision, see his play changed. jumps into the route. gives a quarterback an out. that's working to help your quarterback out there. >> mike: mcnut, a converted quarterback has the hands and size to play wide receiver. excellent start for this iowa offense. stanzi again, pump fake, wants to go deep. mcnutt, great coverage by robert golden, strong safety. who has corner skills. that's where he started. >> craig: look and study and look at iowa offense. it's a pro style offense. you're in there. seeing the tight end. power game, running game.

you have to respect that and put men up in the box. key to the football game for arizona's defense, whether or not secondary can handle plays just like that right there. one on one, they're committing plays inside to stop the iowa ground game. >> mike: stanzi completing only the one throw. he had an interference call on another. good protection. throwing on the sideline and incomplete. that went through the hands of trey stross. the word written down for him is dependab dependable. ball through his hands not dependable there. but at least he turned. ball is in the air on the way. rickie stanzi is one of those quarterbacks, he gets hot, he can find you. >> mike: offensive line playing

so far out the starting left tackle. he's got an underlying medical condition. stanzi. incomplete. got another first down. sandalman, gain of 20. first down for the hawkeyes. >> craig: interesting. five passes. you see sandeman doing what happened earlier. he worked extra time. you have to work harder, keep going. they're on the secondary, stay with the receivers, great job as you pointed out just a moment ago, mike. this offensive line has some shoveling up there. giving stanzi plenty of time to throw the football. >> mike: that time the middle linebacker, vuna tuihalamaka

tried to make the carry. he's pretty solid, isn't he? well, this, as a freshman will earn you more time to run the football. one of the things they find themselves on in arizona, is a good tackling team. terrible job tackling right there. two guys, including cam nelson, number 20, missed the tackle. he was tripped in the backfield. someone managed to get his balance back. avoided another tackle and got to the sixth. five-yard line first down. robinson this time. cam nelson came up from the strong orb or, from the weak safety spot and had a lot of help. ricky elmore from his outside defensive end spot. was also in on the tackle. so it's third down and a yard. that's the first play that hasn't had an opening.

>> craig: iowa red zone offense. 14 touchdowns, that's impressive. get down here and play attention to the tight end play action pass. and that's a first down, inside the three goes robinson, rich reed, number 42, was in on the tackle but then iowa offensive line moved him out of there that time. >> craig: talk about offensive line with adjustments and tweaking. brian bullock, left tackle, starter. he's not there. riley reiff comes in. has to play. he's got a big responsibility. big shoes to fill up front. >> mike: this will be the tenth play of the drive. they have an extra tackle. they're playing -- robinson dives, lost the ball. but iowa has it in the end zone

for a touchdown. robinson may not have been across the goal line but the fullback was there anyway. >> craig: that's why it's good to have a fullback who stays in the game. i think that's a fumble before it crosses. good thing morris was playing the game. >> mike: played the whistle and then some. now they'll review this. >> referee: play is under further review. >> mike: the call on the field is a touchdown. the only thing they can say, it was fumbled forward. he did not cross the goal line before he lost it, so it's got to come back to the one-inch line.

you know what, this is a freshman running back, and freshman runner. this is one of the things you learn, you can't leave with the football exposed like that h from that far out of the goal line. looks like the ball did come out before he hit the goal line. >> mike: cam nelson, number 20, is the guy who got a piece of the tackle on the way in. i don't think there's any question that he was knocked down. >> referee: after further review, the ruling on the field is confirmed. touchdown. >> mike: what an impressive opening drive. only question is going to be, who gets credit for the

touchdown? >> craig: how about both? >> mike: three apiece? daniel murray will come on for the point after. and if you're iowa, against what the coaching staff call ed best 11 on the field during your tenure in arizona that opening drive says a lot. robinson will get credit for the touchdown, again murray will get credit for the extra point. a ten-play drive. results in seven points. for iowa. great.

>> mike: 7-0. iowa. on a -- what is called a semi controversial call. did robinson break the plain? the ball came loose. i believe that had to be the official ruled on the field. the ball crossed the plain before it came out. has to be indisputable. that would be tough to call that indisputed.

a lot of speed. and traded up at the 44, the kicker, daniel murray got a piece. and that was enough to save the touchdown. for an update, times square studio in new york. hey, there, everyone i'm matt winer in new york to keep you on top of everything happening across the nation. versus taco bell update, usc off to a great start. washington a six-play, 80-yard drive. joe mcknight finished it off but the trojans have an early 7-0 lead. >> mike: matt scott the starting. >> quint: brings it to grigsby, and angerer will make the tackle on him. scott, the sophomore out of verona, california, has already

thrown for 352 yards this year but also run for 131. that's an average of 8.2 a carry. he's a very dangerous athlete. one the starting job. a great tight end, rob gr gronkowski who has a bad back. tackled by operator. nic grigsby. 8.6. i love to left this guy play. dean, he's got a catch in 28 games in a row. and sterling lewis on defense. we saw the opening series. lewis and his teammates better figure something out to slow down that hot rod offense. >> mike: third and about an

inch. 12 exchange, may have been stepped on coming out. he had to toss it, in stead of handing it off and spievey is one of the first iowa defenders in there. barely fortunate. because fastball does not mishand mishandle. >> mike: those lineman take the drop steph. they can fly. and it's well done at the 22 yard line. a 28-yard kick. everything, going the way of the hawkeyes right now at home. they are up 7-0.

>> craig:. >> mike: on campus, old capitol building. that building became the first permanent building, owned by the university. iowa in second position. handed away to number 3. a true freshman will get a chance to run from that tail back spot. playing the first game aweek ago. 15 carries and 101 rushes. comes over from across the 25 to the 26. bocked. hayden fry, legendary iowa coach produced a lot of prodigies out of this program. bill snyder, kurk ferrence and

stoops brothers, bob and mike. jim leavity, bo pelini, trying to resurrect the graduate program. bret bielema out of wisconsin. >> craig: see the consistency. like a blueprint for what they're trying to accomplish. it works. out of dakota dunes, south dakota. >> craig: follow mike stoops and what what he's done specifically out of arizona. he got players out of there. recruited heavily. got some speed and size and moxy, as they call it. he had a plan. this is a big season for him. this team, athletic as it is, this is a big game for him to start the season. >> mike: the arizona programs

have really fallen on hard times. stanzi, with plenty of time. it's picked off. right in the arms of trevor wade. touchdown! his third interception of the year. that one returned for 38 yards and stanzi would like to have that one back. talk about a late throw. late throw, bad route. terrible decision by stanzi. he has to make plays today, but he can't have negatives. >> referee: charged time-out. iowa. >> mike: this is tough. you have to take a time-out, because you don't have the extra point defense on the field? that hurts.

change of momentum is unbelievable. when you look at this play, and ricky stanzi, what they're trying to accomplish, just a bad job. poor decision, change of protocol. looks immediately where he's going with it. the receiver, he's bowed his route rather than coming down the line. he didn't give his quarterback or himself to fight off a defensive back. wade's eyes. he looked exactly where he was going to throw the ball. >> mike: big play by the arizona defense which is loaded with speed. and we are tied at seven. just like that. >> craig: just like that. watch the defense with the great angle to the ball. not nearly strong by ricky stanzi to get it to the final.
