Safety, flat-footed safety, nobody guarding the middle of the field, and we're off to the races if you're ECU on offense, and the little post, corner post, from Anthony Smith, and then Speed does the rest, answer for answer, bombs away, here in Greenville, North Carolina. As much as they can, to the play clock, still at 28, when the ball is snapped, Caden Hauser to throw for the first time, down the sideline, Anthony Smith's got it, right along, stuck inbounds, according to... High production, cannot high production. Anthony Smith in motion, takes the handoff, surges around the end, and the Speed's...

This Temple defense is so used to having things run through the middle, that once it gets to the outside, there's nobody out there. He follows his blocks, and like I said, a pre-work for this ECU receiver room, you've got to be able to block, and he got a great block.

4.15 to go in the third quarter, Pirates on the march again, it's third and two. Hauser throws to the outside, and...

...arms, and Speed off the edge, that's a big-time play. It's the 10th sack of the year for the 49ers. They play to the sideline, one-on-one coverage, reception is made.

Third reception already for Anthony Smith. Again, it's off coverage. Play 65 yards, first score, had to convert one-four down. Anthony Smith had three catches, here's his first of this drive. As he dances toward the sideline, and he'll pick up about nine-plus on first. Still in the backfield, fourth and goal for the Pirates.

Going for the big shot early. Hauser flushed, back in the end zone, caught! In from the... By offensive coordinator, J.D. Baker, you get a motion across, and then Smith is just going to come across the end zone, what you'd call... Heading to the Big Ten, and now to ECU, a second down. A lot of time yet again, coming back to the ball past the 35-yard line. That'll be a first down for ECU. Anthony Goodyear's in the Carolinas. Loves the area. A mutual friend of his, had worked with Tim Albin, had great things to say about Coach Albin, and wanted to be part of that. Bill Young Program.
