Yeah, I mean he's a talented football player. You're going to watch him here. He's going to come right over the edge. You got one guy to block him and I'm just telling you, a really good defensive end will not be blocked by fullbacks or tight ends. He defeats it right away and he's on Riola in an instant.

He's up against Deontay McMillan at the bottom of the screen. And Lavojevic steps away from pressure. The first time, but not the second.

Anthony Smith gets him. That's number six today. Six first half sacks. Right here, do your job. Right there. Anthony Smith, do your job. And the plays take care of themselves. Golden Gophers with a stop on fourth down. In the air, so if the ball is hit before it's in the air, it's not an interference.

Anthony Smith around the edge, wreaking havoc once again. Jason, we highlighted he was a problem. They just got home rushing three, so it was a drop eight coverage. They're playing a variation of Tampa two. They only rushed three players. Anthony Smith off of the edge takes on the left tackle and the left guard and makes a play. A player back from injury. He's in the backfield and shifting to the left of Caliak Maness. They're going to give it to him and he can't reverse field.
