badgers. we have a two-pack for you. not a pack two. aflac trivia question. our second one of the night. which former washington state quarterback owns a winery in wall la wall la, washington? hey, man. if you get this one -- got a special prize pack for you. >> louis: ryan leif. >> mark: good guess. i'll say luke falk, heck of it. badgers have to get down to business. mordecai, clean pocket. and throws a bounce pass incomplete. at the 30. and now, let's answer the aflac trivia question. it's not real until the duck quacks. okay, who has the winery with the chardonnays and the malbacs?
8:01 pm
drew bledsoe. >> louis: oh, you know -- oh, man. >> mark: have to hit up drew for a few bottles. maybe after a cougar win tonight. who nknows? it's on the defense now. allen with the catch out of the backfield, out to the 31. it will be third down with 5:15 to go. gain of six on the play. third and four. >> louis: here in the second half, skyler bell has been getting loose. bryson green, too. let's not forget about will pauling. >> mark: keep an eye on jackson and stone off the edge. mordecai. delivers a strike in the middle of the field, pauling still on the move. and brought down at the 50 at midfield. first and ten, wisconsin. a pivotal critical first down on
8:02 pm
the pickup of 19. >> louis: they just lost him in the underneath zone. the three-deep zone they're running. you have to know where number 6 is at all times. >> mark: mordecai, 25 of 37. incomplete. big hit by who else, jaden hicks? he had smoke for the badgers. and pauling shaken up, still on the field. >> louis: textbook play by jaden hicks. this is cover four. this is what this is. he's going to read from weak side to front side, and that's what you're always taught. no work on your side, you're coming across the formation. and you're looking for number 3 coming across the field. look at his vision right here. perfect. and he makes a beeline, puts a clean hit on him. that is textbook safety play. textbook.
8:03 pm
>> mark: yeah, he said he put him to sleep. see, you're the safety and you came out right there. >> louis: this young man, he was another impressive guy that we talked to, we talked to these guys in person. didn't get a chance to talk to the wisconsin players in person. but jaden hicks, good-looking dude. 6'2", 6'3", 215 pounds. has ball skills, can hit. great communicator. just a fun player to watch. >> mark: sports broadcasting major. second and ten. mordecai. going to run it. and comes up a little bit short. and he was very insecure with the ball. andrew edson tried to reach for it. third down coming up. from the 46. they got to get to the 40. to pick up the first down.
8:04 pm
blitz coming. pass is -- incomplete. hicks there again. he is all over the field tonight. vinny anthony, the intended receiver. fourth and six coming up. a last gasp effort for mordecai and the badgers. >> louis: they just try to run a little rub route. watch him go over the top and then get his hands on the ball. this is a long, angular, rangy player who has cover skills, tackling ability, range in the back end. and he's still young. he's just a sophomore. >> mark: he had the big pick six last week. made some nice plays here tonight. >> louis: if you are wisconsin right now, you're saying, will pauling, come through for me one more time, baby. come through for me. tanner mordecai, find the open guy.
8:05 pm
>> mark: mordecai gets it out -- got a man -- incomplete at the 10, intended for green. and the cougars will take over on downs. lampkin there in coverage. and that secondary comes up with a huge stop. >> louis: just one-on-one coverage on the outside across the board. zero coverage. no safety help in the middle of the field. and you're going to see bryson green had this step. he had the step, separated late in the down. just off by a matter of inches. >> mark: he might have gotten away with a push there. >> louis: he did. he pushed off. there's always a lot of jostling. i know depending upon which way you lean in this game, you're going to be like, no, that was a pushoff, no, that was pass interference -- a lot of times, man, it's just football, it's just playing football, and it's just a game of inches. as you can see right there. >> mark: wisconsin with two time-outs remaining.
8:06 pm
53 yards rushing and a touchdown on the last drive for quarterback cam ward. who is looking for another signature victory against a big ten team. that was watson, picked up three. two espn prime time games next week. tennessee goes to florida at 7:00 eastern time. then deion sanders, coach prime, leading number 22 colorado against colorado state in the rocky mountain showdown. what a night of football next saturday on espn. and boy, what would a win tonight mean for washington state, louis? >> louis: they were trying to send a country a message, that, hey, we may not have a home for 2024 yet, but we can play with anyone. they're sending that message so far tonight. >> mark: got all three of their time-outs. ward dancing with the football. got to keep it secured.
8:07 pm
and falls down after a gain of about two. it will be third down and long coming up. they were able to regain their rhythm on that critical drive, which we saw the stats on a moment ago. and now, it's about finishing the game clean. third and seven. >> louis: we talked about it, mark. it was about cam ward and his coaching staff said, too, look, you're the best player. they told us that in the meetings, they said it to quint kessenich on the sideline. we're going to put it in the hands of 1 and he's going to have to lead the way, and he has done just that. >> mark: he is his own worst and harshest critic. hands it off to watson. picks up the first down -- and that really hurts the badgers' cause.
8:08 pm
washington state will earn itself a lot of attention, a lot of eyeballs will look at the score of this and think that maybe -- maybe there's a conference out there that might think, hey, let's take a closer look at them. >> louis: they play good football up here, man. they've got a fast-paced, aggressive offense, led by one of the up and coming offensive coordinators in football in ben arbuckle. if you don't know his name, you'll know it after tonight. >> mark: yes. 90 seconds to play. handoff to watson. >> louis: look, you sit down for five minutes with head coach jake dickert, you will be impressed with his leadership style, his football acumen, the way in which he relates to players. how he's not scared to go outside the box and just bring in good people here, whether or not he has a previous history with them or not. he said, look, i'm just trying to find good people, man. i'm confident enough in myself
8:09 pm
that i'll be able to form late a team, both in terms of the coaching staff and on the field. i didn't know very much about him before we got here and i left that meeting the other day, thoroughly impressed with his outlook on their situation, as far as the conference is concerned, and his football acumen. >> mark: let's hear what the community had to say about him. >> well, the pac-2? >> we're the last two standing, so, i feel pretty good. >> we don't feel good, but it's chill, because the cougs are still the best team in the pa pac-2. >> i think we have good lawyers that will tap the pot of gold that everybody else left behind. >> i like it. >> well, i'm pretty sure this cup says it all. cougs versus everybody. go cougs. >> mark: a spirited crowd showed up here tonight at martin stadium. and they're going to have a ranked opponent victory on their resume, should this pattern hold
8:10 pm

8:11 pm
up to wisconsin a year ago and win that game. >> mark: he had over 100 people at that game. >> louis: this is big-time for him. you love those kind of stories. mnls t mnls t . >> mark: third down and four. another first down. watson putting the final touches on this dub. you don't think they're excited. >> louis: this game doesn't mean a little bit more to him? that's cool to see. that's why you love sports right there. and that's why you love games that have special meaning. >> mark: cheese and beer run through his blood. looking like he's looking for someone to hug out there with the pirate themed cougar shirts in honor of mike leach. >> louis: you see the look on ben arbuckle's face? yeah, yeah, congratulations. i got some thingses to clean up with this offense. >> mark: and the athletic director patrick chung.
