00:00Uh, I just want to get your reaction first to this kid Warren.

00:04I know they didn't win the game, but when I was watching him play, you know, in the

00:09games with SMU, the games with Boise, I mean, this guy, he's got, he's got a future at the

00:16next level, the way this guy plays and how big he is sturdy.

00:20He's involved in so many different aspects of their offense plays.

00:24He can do it all.

00:25He can run the ball.

00:26He can catch the ball.

00:28He's dependable in a fourth down and one, you can draw him a slant and he gets the yard

00:33because he's such a monster.

00:34What did you think of watching that guy turn into a superstar?

00:37Well, it's kind of like was a Bowers for Georgia last year.

00:40He's a difference maker.

00:42You know what?

00:43When you've got a great tight end, your office can be balanced.

00:45He can block, but more likely he can catch it.

00:48He can run with it.

00:49Uh, when you great, great, great quarter, a great tight end is going to be a short yardage

00:53or a guy closer to the quarterback.

00:55It's going to be your opposite throws.

00:57And when you get a great one like that, you can hit him on the deep flag.

01:00Just, just, I see it coming back.

01:03Now the teams that know how to utilize that, Ted, and of course, Penn State, you remember

01:06Ted Qualic, you that old, that's way back, but the tight end has, has always been pretty

01:12important.

01:13Warren's a special player and he'll be a special player in the next level.

01:17What did you think of a Bowers going to the NFL and being an all pro in his first year?

01:23Well, it's kind of like Warren when you, when you watch him in college and they, they just

01:28are so much better than everybody else.

01:30You know, they just, this guy's going to be something special.

01:33Bowers, I didn't realize he was going to make that much of an impact so fast, but with the

01:37way Warren plays, he's at least as athletic or more athletic.

01:41And so you got to think that he has a great future after college.

01:45So I'm sitting here watching this game last night and Riley Leonard goes down and the

01:49kid Angeli comes in and he played up here in North Jersey at Bergen Catholic.

01:55And I had seen him play high school football.

01:57I've seen him play Bosco.

01:59I've seen him play St. Joe's.

02:01I've seen him in big Thanksgiving games.

02:04And there he was coming into that game and knocking six of seven with immediacy and getting

02:10them into field goal position to get that three before the half.

02:13What a difference that kid meant to that win last night.

02:17It wasn't all about Freeman.

02:19It wasn't all about Leonard.

02:21It wasn't all about this.

02:23That kid had a couple of paragraphs in the story.

02:26He deserved them.

02:27Well, you know, and think about it now motive.

02:29I mean that the, uh, all the momentum was on the other team.

02:33They were down 10 to nothing, uh, and they didn't look very good.

02:36Notre Dame, Penn state was, had everything going for him.

02:39He comes in great drive, leads them to a field goal to get out of that dead gum, uh, zero.

02:45They come back the next half, come with a score.

02:48All of a sudden it's 10 to 10, 17 to 10.

02:50Now I know the other quarterback Raleigh got back in the game and did a great job of finishing,

02:55but they couldn't have done it without that backup quarterback and how he kept them in

02:58the game and even moving toward a victory.
