11:30 pm
if he gets one-on-one he's got a ridiculous vertical, he's a great basketball player, a heck of a receiver. if he got a chance to get one-on-one, we're going to let him get it. >> samantha: how much pressure was there by ryan on that last drive after a rough start. >> samantha: pressure is imagined. it's not a real thing. we run the plays that we know. he went out there, executed. i have a list of plays that i know he's comfortable with and we try to get completions. we ran the ball a couple times. irwin came through big in this game. we knew we had a chance to win it. >> samantha: obviously you got the win that's most important but how would you describe what you were up against tonight? >> this is what we expected. as i said at halftime, we have a young team, not necessarily young but inexperienced. this is a new environment for these guys. we tried to warn them you're going to get ucla's best shot.
11:31 pm
this is a very good, talent football team. i'll say on national tv, jim mora doesn't get the respect he deserves. you look at the program. these guys are physical, play hard, they got a phenomenal quarterback. they're probably going to beat him up for this game but his kids played extremely hard. we tip our caps to ucla. >> samantha: a classy response. coach, we appreciate your time. >> chris: a tradition harbaugh brought back as they hail stanford in the corner. >> kirk: this last drive set up by this. they were going to start at about their own 15 yard line. instead at their own 30 yard line. then you see burns make some plays, finding open receivers, showing great poise. he said david shaw, everybody talks about practicing this. it's one thing to practice it. it's another to hit the rose bowl and have to execute it and make that throw right there to a receiver that for the most part has never made a play like that in his career.
11:32 pm
he steps up at a crucial moment and makes the play to give the cardinal a victory. >> chris: he said pressure is imagined but burns who had 8 completions before that drive had five on the drive. here's the hit of rosen. picking the ball up and scoring a touchdown is solomon thomas. it's two touchdowns in the last 24 seconds. that defensive score will be taken note of in the desert. they have a short week to recover from a physical game and face a series challenge in seattle friday. they're not worried about that at the moment. sam has christian mccaffrey. >> samantha: you're uniform shows it. this was a rough night in terms of physicality. how would you describe what you were up against? >> we knew they were going to be extremely physical. it comes down to just penalties and inefficiency on third down. and inefficient plays.
11:33 pm
marcus la trel said you're never out of the fight and we never gave up. we came in down, a tough place to play. knew that we had to do a lot. you got a young receiver that comes out at the end and makes a hell of a play and that's the kind of stuff that great teams have. we have to bounce back and be a lot better. >> samantha: what is it about this team that stays even keeld when at the end it didn't look like it was going to finish this way? >> that's how we were trained throughout the off season. our strength coach trains us for times like these, times of adversity. we stick to our training and our gut and what we know. >> samantha: congratulations on a great win. the streak remains. >> chris: it does. 138 yards rushing. you say ho hum when you see that, mccaffrey and how productive he typically is. his streak of games with 200 yards all purpose or more, 8 in a row, he had 165.
11:34 pm
it was that kind of a night. >> kirk: this is a huge win for stanford but i think it's also big for them for the big picture. it's only their third game of the year. think about what they've done here in the early going. they've played a kansas state team, usc and now ucla. they've been challenged. i think as you look at this team as a threat to maybe win a pac 12 championship and maybe a playoff team, you actually need these moments. there are a lot of players that are playing as we saw in that final drive that have never been out here. when you make these plays, it gives you such confidence when you can face adversity and come through. not only did they beat ucla on the road, it gives them incredible confidence and momentum going into next friday in seattle which will be another tough conference game against the huskies. >> chris: another big challenge for that guy right there who's all smiles.
11:35 pm
burns comes across the country. touchdown pass to that guy as mccaffrey and the cardinal win it 22-13 with a triple zero defensive score at the end. for our entire crew here, we hope you enjoyed this throwback saturday football game as the cardinal extend the win streak against ucla. next saturday night, lamar jackson and louisville taking on clemson in death valley. hope you'll join us then. stay tuned for the full wrap-up show and cassidy hubbarth. >> stanford keeping their winning streak alive. welcome into the ford wrap-up. i'm cassidy hubbarth. it's officially the first saturday of fall and just like the changing of the leaves, tennessee losing to florida has become routine. the vols riding an 11-game losing streak to the gators heading into the day. it looked like it was going to be a 12th straight loss after trailing 21-0 not first half.

at this scene. a lot of hugs between firefighters and, again, just a day that's been filled with tragedy. for now, reporting in wilmington, bob brooks, channel 6 action news. >> walter: new developments tonight in the deadly police-involved shooting that sparked a continued unrest in charlotte, north carolina. just hours ago, the police department released videos from dashboard and body cameras taken during the confrontation with keith lamont scott. they also released pictures of the gun they said he was holding but his family insists he was not holding a gun. action news reporter jennette reyes is live from the satellite center with the latest in the investigation. >> reporter: charlotte police said releasing this video could jeopardize the ongoing investigation. that was met with backlash by community activists. today, police did release what video. many are saying it still fails to answer some crucial questions. the videos are just over three minutes long, but they give insight into the fatal officer-involved shooting that
