a pickup of 12 by ben state. auburn down by a field goal. >> bob: look how deep ben tate is in the backfield? >> bob: here's tate again. the point i was making, mark, they have deepened that tailback up. look, he is behind the quarterback right here which gives you more of a north/south downhill run. that's really kind of like an i-formation run and people talk about the 'tpistol. putting them in the shotgun to have this kind of effect. >> mark: todd keeps it himself. this is an offense that they want to get the ball to the. immediately after the play ends and get up to the line of scrimmage and snap it. they want to try to get 80 to 90

snaps in per game. an average is how much? >> bob: probably 65 a game. >> mark: tells you how fast they're going, third down and four coming up. todd to pass. under heat. a missed tackle and incomplete. avoided a sack, though. got away from j.t. thomas and lazear. >> bob: running backs learning how to pass protect. onterio mccalebb was in there as tailback and could not block the outside linebacker from west virginia. notice tate back in the football game as they'll go to a quick

quit right here. >> mark: start out of the shotgun. incomplete. and the mountaineers take over on downs. so this funnels us to perhaps the questioning of the play calling for arguably the first time tonight. a pivotal point. >> bob: i have to wonder as we look at this formation. both running backs up in wing positions and tight end. i thought they would pooch punt the football right there. you wonder if the quarterback automatic based on one-on-one coverage to the passion. i really believe that was a pooch punt formation. i believe i mab be wrong but that was an odd-looking formation. >> mark: first and ten for the mountaineers. brown downfield incomplete intended for his roommate, alric

. is this a state trooper that made the grab. >> bob: a lot of back snapping. somebody what is to bring law and order to the gridiron. >> bob: that's a west virginia state troop their came down tonight. >> mark: second and ten. intercepted. take ricks. >> bob: that's the third turnover that will lead to points. watch again. run this little shovel pass underneath. there he flipped it over the top. how about big jake ricks.

>> mark: big hands by the fellow. >> bob: you never thought him interaccepting a shovel passion may be the key to this football game. >> mark: from the hands of devine and first down and ten working with a short field. from the 19 yard line. ben tate beside chris todd. tate drops it. appeared to be thrown behind him. it'll be second and then. >> bob: mistakes by west virginia. they have shown their potential and explosiveness but their vulnerability. >> mark: playing without reed wilson and scooter berry. both starters.

>> bob: i haven't really felt this super fast tempo of auburn like i would to be quite honest. >> mark: see what they do on second, todd, unloads. caught and stopped immediately. eric smith brought down by s sidney glover. why do you think they haven't gotten to the tempo they want to. >> bob: i don't know. they do have different tempos. call is pace plays and a have a fire alarm where they huddle real close and splint up there. i haven't felt them quick snapping west virginia all night. a lot of this similar to last year's auburn offense of looking to the sidelines getting the checks. >> mark: offense initiated by tony a year ago under tuberville. third and eight. todd. touchdown! the third of the night for adams.

>> bob: first lead of the night, mark, for auburn. >> mark: what a night for darvin adams and after every play, as gus malzahn tells his players to do, you must hand the ball to the official. >> bob: auburn has come back and scored. hi, it's jimmy football here. nobody likes number 2. so we just upgraded you to number 1. introducing the bud light foozie!

it's a foam finger. it's a can coozie. boom. whoa. s-stamp. it's the foozie! we love the foozie. thanks, bud light.

>> mark: regardless of age it's all about war eagle here in auburn, alabama. though really are passionate about their football here in town. and jordan-hare stadium stadium. packed tonight, over 87,000 on hand witnessing pretty high-scoring football game. 34-30, the tigers with their first lead of the night. rodgers at the 7.

and the alley quickly closed down at the 23 yard line. you see what jarrett brown can get going here after the turnover which led to that score a moment ago. auburn with 17 points off turnovers by the mountaineers. >> bob: two of those by defensive linemen from auburn. . >> mark: from the 25, first and ten. twine actually ran into his own man picking up a yard on the play. trooper taylor getting his

players amped up. he should be wearing equipment out there. >> bob: energetic, energetic guy. >> mark: on second and eight, incomplete. intended for arnett. as for taylor, itt the way he begins every one of his days, look up. >> give me one of those. i'm with you. i'm with you. this is my new dog here. let's go get him, baby boy. >> i'm sitting on g waiting on o. you know i'm ready to go. agh. let's go, baby. let's go. >> bob: you don't think those recruits lover that.

those were recruits standing on the sideline. >> mark: that coach taylor is pretty cool. brown with great escapability. picks up the first dunn to quiet the crowd. stevens making the stop after the 13-yard run. >> bob: go back to what jeff mullen told us. it quickly turns into a quarterback draw if he doesn't get what he wants to get. >> mark: he told him he doesn't have to be pat white to be successful. doing a good job of being himself an a flag thrown. arnett being covered by walter mcfadden. mcfadden seemed to have that db lean going on into the wide receiver arnett.

>> referee: pat interference, defense, 15-yard penalty. >> bob: -- was is it questionable? >> mark: just what you said. >> bob: let's look at a couple things and see at the end if this football was catchable. close, close. that's a tough one. no question mcfadden extended the arm on him. that's a cuff call right there to make in that situation. >> mark: mcfadden, one of the voices. jimmie johnson racing for a fourth straight championship at new hampshire. coverage beginning sunday at 1:00 p.m. eastern time on abc. it was interesting. we had a chance to meet with antonio coleman. he said that walter mcfadden was

really the speaker box on defense. guys, listen to them. boy, jarrett brown with a lot of machinations, runs for four yards. looks like he's dancing by himself. ball fakes, pump fakes. fake handoffs, face passes. >> bob: antonio coleman back in at defensive. out early with a hand injury. >> mark: on second and six. john sanders, got a nice block on the edge. and he doesn't need much help. sanders with a first down at the 28 yard line. nice block by the lanky 6'7"

inch wes lyons and picked up 14 on the play. out near fans happy and amped right now. >> bob: if you don't walk out with a linebacker and cover down on these spread receivers they jauz raise up and throw you the football. that's become a huge play in college football. >> mark: there's the reverse. sanders and there's going to be a flag, looks like antonio coleman was held on the play right in front of the official at the 38 yard line. >> referee: holding, 32, offense, ten-yard penalty, first down. >> bob: you saw it all the way, ryan clarke, the freshman running back held antonio coleman. you can read bill stewart's facial expresses pretty good,

too. >> mark: you talk about him being the favorite uncle. favorite uncle just got a little mad. devine, boy, when he gets to the edge people start holding their breath. devine pushed out of bounds at the 29 yard line with 9:15 to go in the fourth quarter. got back nine yards after the pen i. >> bob: opened up a whole game for the are'7" guys, recruit the smurfs and find ways to put them out on the perimeter. >> mark: second and level. boy, look at this. an i-formation. decline brougand devine brought. >> impatient.

should have hit it north and south. went to the cutback almost immediately. >> mark: pivotal point of the game. >> bob: number 82, their receiver not much action tonight. >> mark: brown, intercepted at the 12. mcfadden. there's a flag down back at the 10. and mcfadden is still on his feet, one man to beat. >> bob: there's another flag down. >> mark: a flag back at the 5 and also one near midfield. >> bob: the fourth turnover of

the night for west virginia. >> referee: during the return, illegal block in the back, number 90. that penalty is declined. holding, number 14, that penalty will be enforced. ten yards, first down. m. remember, it was walter mcfadden that was victimized on that pass interference a little while ago. >> bob: this communication between wes lyons, the receiver and jarrett brown, the quarterback. let's take a look. look at the bottom of your screen. jarrett brown thought wes lyons was cismesia to did an out and up for the fourth turnover for auburn tonight. you can see right there the miscommunication. >> mark: each time they have turned it over auburn has been i believe to turn it into points

and mcfadden upset after his interception just a few moments ago. first and ten from their own 3 yard line. >> bob: very exclusive player but protected that football and didn't turn it over. right now that is the difference between jarrett brown and pat white. >> mark: tate hit immediately and made it back to make a yard on the play. second down and 9. clock running with 7:45 to go in the game. rematch of last year's game in which the tables were turned. west virginia trailed by a couple of touchdowns, 17-3 and rallied to win up in morningen. town.

burns in the ball game in motion. tate. >> bob: two key plays by defensive linemen. with the strip. you look at jake rich here with the interception, two dead turnovers by a defensive linemen led to two scores by auburn. but the four turnovers is the story of this football game. >> mark: he said, we need a couple takeaways and they ha've gotten some. todd with a great ball fake of his own. completes the pass. that's going to be a first down, eric smith on the catch. and they keep the chains moving on the gain of 7 yards. >> bob: the little foot action, eric smith sneaking out of the

backfield. >> mark: both teams with three time-outs remaining. >> bob: here's where it is. one of the reasons he got the job he focused on auburn football, running, physical. nice to see burns in the uniform. >> mark: we talked about it. the transition gene chizik a staff is making. started a year ago under tony franklin. bob,er in the spread last year, had a lot of bumps and problems but better football team now because of that. i promise you. >> mark: here's chris todd. that was dangerous for the tigers, sidney glover almost had a chance to really sell the

history of this rich aush and made the reciphers to get to know the creed of auburn pen. i believe in auburn. i love it. jay jacobs knew what he was getting because gene chizik coached here. he didn't have to interview him. he knew exactly what he was getting. >> mark: todd, the pass ruled incomplete at the 27 yard line. tommy tried. >> bob: now auburn will hurry up so it want be reviewed. they will do this quickly. see that -- >> mark: not quite. they tried. >> bob: they call in the fire alarm. let's get up and snap it. mark?

tommy trott who wee weren't sure would play tonight because of injury tore his acl last year. hurt his knee a little it. let's take a look good at this one. this is a key, key play right here. >> mark: is a better angle. >> bob: mark, i think it hit the ground. >> mark: looked like he didn't get his hands underneath it. the evidence has to be conclusive to overturn it. i think the nose of that football was on the ground. >> mark: we'll find out and in the meantime, back to gene chizik, some of the changes he's made. son-in-law significant, some cosmetic. he talked to us how he switched up the meeting rooms for the

offensive and defensive units. he said i'll give you everything you need to do well and want our players to understand how special this place is while they're here. not afterwards. >> bob: following a guy with a great run. great success. now, he was 5-19 at iowa state. lost his ten games but have to the athletic director a lot of credit. he knew the firestorm would come. but my record, jean chizik coached. >> referee: after further review the ruling on the field stands, as called. >> bob: probably not conclusive evidence. >> mark: the tigers keep possession. fir first down and ten. announcer: "it looks like nothing else on the road right now,"

going to talk about this a little bit. >> referee: personal foul, face mask. number 43 on the defense. 15-yard penalty. first down. >> mark: casey vance gets called for the face mask. puts the ball on west virginia's side at midfield for the tigers. >> bob: boy, it really helps to help tate late in these games.

>> mark: tell me why the spread offense is a misnomer. they talk about -- >> bob: it still comes down to the running game. keep in mind here, look at ben tate almost in. i-formation there he's so deep. >> mark: this time only picks up two yards as we go back to wendi in the studio. >> wendi: texas and texas tech, this one in the books in austin. this will be the final score, the only touchdown, colt mccoy threw that to dan buckner, final, 34-24, florida over tennessee. usc falls to washington. byu upset by their opponent. >> mark: second and eight. >> bob: using all of that clock because it's down to five seconds. >> mark: changed gears on this offense.
