[fans chanting]
We are Penn State!

MAN: There's so much that goes
with being a 5 Star.

COMMENTATOR: Are you kidding me?

- MAN: There's plenty of good.
- COMMENTATOR: Touchdown!

COMMENTATOR 1:
Touchdown, Bryce Underwood.

But there's plenty that
the 5 Stars have to navigate.

In week seven,
they dealt with adversity

and what happens with your team
when things don't go the way

you expect them to go.

COMMENTATOR: And Northwestern
comes to Happy Valley

and wins 22-21.

COMMENTATOR 2: Well, now
you have to really regroup.

Boy, I tell you, that
Indiana defense is for real.

COMMENTATOR 3:
So far, Dakorien Moore,

the sensational freshman
wide receiver,

has pretty much been shut out.

COMMENTATOR 4:
Dante Moore throws,

gets hit, and now is picked.

Intercepted, and that's
going to be the ball game.

COMMENTATOR 3:
So Oregon's going to fall

from the ranks
of the unbeatens.

It is danger time for Michigan
here in Los Angeles.

COMMENTATOR: Underwood.
Sideline. Intercepted.

And the freshman
makes a huge mistake.

COMMENTATOR: Michigan dropping
to 4-2 on the season.

MAN: For the 5 Star,
when their team loses,

that increases the expectations,
the responsibility,

the pressure that is on you

to go out
and deliver and perform.

And the 5 Stars that flourish
are the ones who learn

how to navigate it for their
particular set of circumstances.

COMMENTATOR:
Indiana clips Oregon.

INTERVIEWER: Are you
reconsidering what Oregon is?

We can bounce back. We determine
how our season goes.

COMMENTATOR: Michigan is now
in elimination game mode.

MAN:
It's kind of do or die

for postseason hopes
and dreams.

Of course
I can't bring time back,

but prepare the best I can
for next week.

NEWS ANCHOR: We've got breaking
news out of college football

where Penn State has fired
head coach James Franklin.

It was like, wow. We were
all upset, mad, you know.

MAN 2: Here we are now,

and I wonder what direction
they turn to.

MAN 3: In this portal era,
a lot of the guys

that are back up
on the depth charts

are going
to be asking themselves,

do I want to risk
this new staff coming in

and bringing in their own people
and recruiting over me?

It does feel like,
wow, this is crazy.

This could be a sign from God.
I don't know.

MAN 4: If you can handle it
in your own set

and still be
the person you want to be,

you're going to flourish
on the field, off the field,

everywhere,
and continue to be a 5 Star.

NEWS ANCHOR: James Franklin
has been fired from Penn State.

To underperform
this significantly

by losing to Oregon

and then falling asleep
against UCLA and Northwestern

is exactly why James Franklin
had to be fired.

COMMENTATOR: Suddenly,
it's such a pivot point,

such a moment of change,

and it's only
the second week of October,

and yet
you look at the calendar,

they're going to Iowa for
a primetime game in Iowa City.

You wonder, okay, well, how
do they respond against Iowa?

GOODMAN: When I was coming
into Penn State,

I did want
to make the travel squad.

When you're on the travel squad,
you travel to the away games,

and then if you're not
on the travel squad,

you just don't travel
with the team.

We traveled 12 people
of the O-line group,

so I was disappointed
that I had just missed, really.

But the travel squad
could change.

If the coaches are
seeing improvement,

I could possibly jump
in front of guys.

So that's definitely the goal.

But with all that's going on,
I feel like football

is definitely real heavy
on your mentality.

So if I'm in a slump
or something,

to get out of it,
I'm going to go back home,

talk to my mom, friends, just
to get my mind away from it.

- LOPER: Mal!
- GOODMAN: Yes?

What are you doing?

Come on, come help me cook.

When he came through the door,

I'm standing there,
and I'm like...

He's like, "Mom, really?
You just saw me last week.

Like, really?" [laughs]

And I'm like, yes, really.

Now, he would probably tell you

we talk like every other day,
but we talk every day.

If he's going to vent
or lash out,

I'm the one that's
going to get it,

and I'm okay with that.

If you keep all that bottled up,
it can come out

in other ways that's not,
you know, healthy.

- Oh, the man.
- What's going on? Good morning.

All right,
so how about you want to do

the sausage,
the turkey bacon?

You put the turkey bacon
in that pan.

I'll do the pancake mix.

I'll probably end up
doing the bacon.

LOPER: All right.

That works.

With everything that's
going on around, I think family,

just being around people
who lift him up and love on him,

definitely important to him.

Morning, morning.
How are you?

- Hello.
- Oh, you in here cooking?

- Yeah.
- Turkey strips.

I love you keep saying bacon
and ain't is bacon.

- GOODMAN: Turkey bacon?
- It's bacon.

It's turkey strips.
Bacon is pork.

- It's turkey bacon.
- Turkey strips.

- Just like you have--
- Beef strips.

- ...turkey burgers.
- Bacon. It's pork, right?

- Of course.
- Chicken burgers.

- I'm saying.
- All right.

We're trying to be healthy and,
you know.

I hear you.

GOODMAN: Especially, like,
with the Franklin situation.

My mom, I mean, she's been very
supportive, her and my family.

Just being genuine,
just caring and all that,

this is like, the trust
factor ability, really.

LOPER: Wow.
I'm reading a quote.

"James Franklin's goal of
winning a national championship

hasn't changed,
even if he wasn't able

to accomplish it in Penn State
before getting fired Sunday."

You know Saban,
how he does the broadcasting?

- Okay.
- Before the games now?

So that's what Franklin's
going to be doing?

- He's going to be up there.
- Well, today.

- When does it come on?
- When does it start?

I think it's on now, is it not?

- Is it?
- Is it on now?

They usually do it
a few hours before the game.

Okay, I got it.
I think I got it.

- Let me see.
- LOPER: Ooh, that's hot.

FRANKLIN: We were a practice
Sunday team, Coach.

We have a team meeting at 1:45.

About 1:30,
the AD walked in and said,

"We're going to make a change.
I'm sorry."

I was in shock, obviously.

Really took the next 15 minutes
to let my kids know

so they wouldn't find out
on the Internet.

And then walked down and had
a super emotional meeting

with the team
to tell them I was leaving.

GOODMAN: We had a team meeting.
He came in. It was with the AD.

Just telling us
that he loves us.

All that stuff.
All the good stuff, you know.

I was upset.
The whole team was upset.

We were all upset.
Mad, you know.

I'm very, very grateful
for the time I had

and most importantly
for the relationships

I was able to build.

I'm a player's coach.
I always have been.

So that's the hardest part.

It's walking away from all those
young men in that locker room.

There's no bad nothing
to say about Franklin, ever.

And what he just said
is bigger than football.

Like, those are his babies.
Those are his kids.

Those are his boys.

GOODMAN:
After that day, I mean,

they didn't really talk
about it, to be honest.

It was like, it happened.

People were upset.
Just moved on.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank you.

I thank you for this food
that we're about to receive.

I thank you for allowing
my baby to get home safely.

In your name we pray, amen.

Amen.

GOODMAN: I would say even
if this stuff wasn't happening,

it's always nice
to step away from football.

Maybe not like football,
but just how it's football.

[energetic music]

I feel like a regular human
being going back to high school.

Like, high school,
it's always nice.

GOODMAN: It was good
being back at PC.

It was a good amount of people
that I was excited to see.

All the coaching staff,
of course.

What's up, man?

The football team itself.
Excited to see my old friends.

- How are you?
- I'm good. How are you?

You look like a man.
Get away from me.

You're not Malachi anymore.

- Who are you?
- I'm Malachi.

I did not expect
that many people to remember me.

Looking good, huh?

You look like you're in shape,
actually.

I've been in shape.
I've been in shape.

My strength coach, he's great.

It's definitely a task.
He's yelling at me, lock out.

I'm like, I'm already.

And after every bench,
after every rep,

he makes us hold at the top.

And then, when I was here,
I just go like, go into it.

You guys have off this week
or not?

- No, we have away game.
- You have away game?

Yeah, I'm not
on the travel list yet.

So, I'm running
like with the threes.

I just missed the cutoff.

I'm not really tripping
because when I came here,

I didn't start my freshman year.

Yo, that's
how it usually should be, bro.

Yeah, yeah.

ANNOUNCER: It is time
for Paramus Catholic football.

Ladies and gentlemen, the 2025
Paladins of Paramus Catholic!

[fans cheering]

GOODMAN: Me being
on the sideline every day,

it felt great.

But obviously, I was upset
'cause I couldn't play

another high school game.

But, you know,
I was happy for them.

I was happy for the seniors
out there playing.

QUARTERBACK: Go!

[whistle blows]

- How tall are you?
- 6'5", 6'8".

- How much you bench?
- GOODMAN: Stay focused.

I need y'all to stay locked in.
Y'all need to have a game.

Barely got to watch the game.

I think I watched
like two quarters max.

Where you gonna be?
Oh, right here?

- MAN: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- When's my cue?

ANNOUNCER: We direct your
attention to the 20-yard line.

Because on senior night,

a proud son of PC
has returned.

5 Star recruit,
now a Nittany Lion.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Malachi!

- Woo!
- [fans screaming]

GOODMAN: I don't really
see myself as a celebrity.

But my mom always tells me,
like, this is what it is now.

Whoo!

You know, they see me
as a celebrity, a role model.

But I always see myself
as a regular person.

But I definitely do
appreciate all the love

that they give me
when I go back.

[cheering]

I wish I could have this again.
Just one high school game.

- Of course.
- All right?

- Good seeing you, man.
- Likewise.

Be good.

Looking ahead, I'ma see
who the new head coach is.

That's, like, a big thing.

But I'm in the present,

trying to get developed
as much as I can.

I'm not worrying about
all that stuff down the line.

Of course. Thank you.

- Love you, buddy.
- Love you too, Coach.

COMMENTATOR 1:
Number 7 Indiana

smacked number 3 Oregon
in the mouth, 30-20.

Oregon's offensive grade
in this game

was its worst for the season

and the worst receiving
grade of the year, too.

COMMENTATOR 2: A half where
your offense is only generating

three points, you're not gonna
beat these high-level teams.

COMMENTATOR 3: They're still in
the playoff picture, obviously.

And they're still
in the Big Ten title race.

DAKORIEN: I don't really
think far down the line

when it comes to playoffs
and the Big Ten Championship.

I just think about
winning each game.

Ultimately, if you win every
game that goes in front of you,

you win
the national championship.

So, you know,
I'm just being, you know,

in the present,
where my feet are.

- Four. Five.
- [players clapping]

All right, I'm gonna
start off here with Cory.

Right, obviously got work today,

got work tomorrow,
so, lock in this morning.

Let's make sure we can
pull something from it.

Cory, thank you.
Appreciate you, man.

CORY: All right, morning,
fellas. Morning.

We have to be deliberate
and intentional about

continuing to ask,
"How do we keep getting better?"

So, where are
those tiny little 1% gains

that don't require
a ton of effort and energy?

Where can we grab those?

DAKORIEN: After
the Indiana game,

Dante talked to
the whole team, you know,

being the leader that he is.

Now we see that we could be beat
when we not on our P's and Q's.

DANTE: Of course I was
depressed about the loss,

and we're just human
and that happens,

but you got to learn from 'em.

Go back to the-- you know,
everybody say the chalkboard,

and, you know,
just learn from those moments.

DAN: Your Indiana game.
Who scored first in this game?

Indiana.
Who won the game? Indiana.

Right?
That's a big separator for us.

What's our record
when we score first here

at the University of Oregon?
Anybody know?

Undefeated.
We've won every single game.

How important
are openers, right?

So we'll have
an opener period today.

It's not scripted, right?

It's offense versus defense,
which means what?

We don't know how exactly it'll
play out, but what we do know

is it will reveal the what?
Truth, right?

You earn it or you don't, right?
This reveals the truth.

Feed the rat.
Feeding the rat is us

being honest with ourselves
and walking into hard.

Best thing for us is just to
stay connected, stay together,

and make sure that in the future
it doesn't happen again.

DANNY KANELL: This is a critical
moment in the season for Oregon.

And Rutgers,
they're a feisty team.

This'll be a good test for 'em,

going across the country
to play against Rutgers.

But I'm a big believer
in seeing them bounce back.

[air horn blares]

DAN: Here we go!
Here we go, here we go.

I remember every loss
a lot more than every win.

I mean, that's just
always the way I've been.

Field, fields, fields, fields.
Here we go.

It's a lot of stress. It makes
me uncomfortable, and I don't

like being that uncomfortable.
It's something you wanna attack.

Your 1%.
Are you attacking your 1%?

How are you gonna
reveal honesty?

What you attacking today?
What's your 1%?

Okay. Let's process today
one of these moments.

Moments where you give me this,
that means we got to push.

'Cause you ain't gonna get
to this point unless you push.

You with me?

As a coach, you're trying to
find a million different ways

to say the same thing
over and over again.

But it doesn't matter
until the player recognizes it.

So, how do you create
self-awareness?

Attack the ball, Kori.
Attack the ball, Kori.

He's early on you,
but, hey, here, what do I see?

You can come this way
towards the ball more. Right?

So, hey, negative angles, right?

Negative angles.
Negative angles.

You know, I'm getting 1% better,
like, every single day.

Just, like, actually,
you know, buying into that,

I feel like I got way better
prepared for Saturday.

DAN: Come on.
Run out of there. Good!

That's a good route.

Dime is at 9 and stops at 12.

I understand. You probably
won't get nine yards.

Just learning different
coverages every game and,

you know, the way that different
people can design 'em,

I think that's, like,
the biggest thing

that, you know,
I've been focusing on.

DAN: We wanna continue
to evolve our playbook,

adapt to the teams
that we're gonna play.

So we wanna put
a lot on his plate

and see how much he can eat.

DAN: What will it look like
on a Saturday, Kori?

ROSS: Good! Chest in tight!

[whistle blowing]

Here we go. We got team openers.

Going towards the big board.
Give me green up.

It's the beginning of the game.
How we gonna handle openers?

ANNOUNCER 1: Right now, a great
afternoon for Ducks football.

DAKORIEN: You know,
the Indiana game,

first drive out there, you know,
we came out there, got sacked.

ANNOUNCER 2: Step up
and get sacked.

DAKORIEN: And then just
coming back, you know,

they kicked the field goal, they
just had momentum at the top.

ANNOUNCER 2: Kick on the way.
Long enough.

ANNOUNCER 1: There's the first
score of the ballgame.

Bad plays are gonna happen,
you know, so we just

got to have that relentless
mindset to come out there

and do it again and do it right.

Who's improving their 1%?
Who's improving their 1%?

Ultimately, I think
Dakorien would tell you,

"I got to get myself into shape
to play an entire game."

You know, that's part
of what practice is about.

You have to strain at practice
to strain at game.

ANNOUNCER:
It's a line of scrimmage game.

Line of scrimmage game.

Here's this kid that if there's
not one kind of highlight play

made in practice,
you're kind of wondering, like,

"Damn, like, Kori, you okay?"

- Where's Kori at?
- WOMAN: Right here.

DAN: We go third down,
third down, third down.

ROSS: You good? It's all good.

DAN: A player like Kori,
you realize that

there's a lot of
intrinsic motivation.

Here we go, DA!

If you wanna be great
and if you wanna be

one of those guys
that's considered the best,

you have to push yourself to
a level that nobody else would.

ROSS: First to 10.
We're green up, green up.

MAN: Kori! Kori!

ROSS: 22, GB's in. This is it.

It's on!

DAN: Can defense get the stop?

Can defense get the stop?

[whistle blows]

ANNOUNCER: Touchdown, touchdown.

DAKORIEN: Big games
are gonna depend on,

you know, the receivers.

Yeah! I know!

When we got the team on our back
and stuff like that,

we gonna go out there
and make plays.

DAN: The more he can handle,
the more we can put in. Right?

And I wanna see him continue
to be the guy that we expect.

[whistle blowing]

Hard work
doesn't guarantee results.

It guarantees the truth.

All right, let's be the team
that's fighting for the truth.

This Saturday, we get
another chance to attack

and say exactly who we are.

What will it say
about the Ducks?

2025, dot, dot, dot.

What's it gonna say about us?

All right,
love the work we got in today.

Let's keep building on it.

- MAN: Connection! Growth!
- ALL: Connection! Growth!

- Toughness. Sacrifice!
- Toughness! Sacrifice!

MAN: Family on three!
One, two, three!

ALL: Family!

- DAKORIEN: Mom.
- MJ: What?

DAKORIEN: I can't even see you.

MJ: You can't-- Oh, my bad.

- I got it turned off.
- I'm so tired.

- You said what?
- DAKORIEN: I'm too tired.

They just had us in a meeting
for, like, an hour.

And then they come in
to look at our apartments

- and stuff like that.
- What's that about?

I guess to make sure we're
living right or something.

Okay.

DAN: We talk a lot about
the way you do anything

is the way
you do everything, right?

And you're not gonna be
a successful football player

if you're not able to take care
of business off the field.

Don't tell me that you're gonna
be a guy that's organized

and committed to the things
that are required in life

to be successful, but you
don't have a clean house, right?

Guess what. 18- to 23-year-olds
need reminders every once

in a while, so we might
just pop up on 'em and check.

- DAKORIEN: Yep.
- MJ: Keep up the good work.

- Love y'all.
- All right, love you, too.

MAN: Hey,
will y'all just let Osman in?

[Dakorien laughs] What?

MAN: You guys gotta
let Osman in. I'm leaving.

- You leaving right now?
- MAN: Yeah, I got to go.

No, bro. I don't wanna
be attending to that, bro.

Just tell me to do it.

MAN: Looks like there
he is right there, so. Yep.

MAN: [laughs]
What'd Shedeur say?

Perfect timing. Perfect timing.

Oh, man.

[groans]

[groans]

Man, I was not feeling
none of that,

so I was trying
to hide in the car.

'Cause they was gonna ask me
to come in the house,

probably ask questions
and stuff, and...

tell me to do things,

and I didn't feel like
doing none of that.

OSMAN: Y'all are all freshmen,

living on your own
for the first time.

- You look in the sink?
- DAKORIEN: Nah.

- Come look in the sink.
- Don't ask.

- Come look in the sink.
- I don't want to.

- It sound bad.
- Come look in the sink.

- NATHAN: What is it?
- Come look in the sink.

I'm not looking,
I ain't gon' lie.

Kori, it's your crib. I want
you to see why I'm over here.

You guys can't live
like this, bro.

In your sink.

That's foul.
This is part of being an adult.

- That's crazy.
- OSMAN: Know what I'm saying?

- Hey, Ryder.
- Yeah.

Y'all need to fix that [muted].

Who's "y'all"?
I don't use any of the dishes.

Whoever be in here,
'cause y'all know damn well

I don't use the dishes,
'cause I DoorDash.

OSMAN: Listen,
this is another lesson.

Y'all gon' live together, right?

So everybody got to
pull their weight. And Nate.

Y'all got to designate
who's gonna do what.

Take out the trash,
do the dishes.

I don't care,
but it's got to get done.

These men and women here
on the staff who help with

building these guys
to be able to have

that "team over me" mentality,
because that determines

how much you love
your teammates on Saturdays.

OSMAN: Hey, listen, though.
You can't live like that.

You gon' get sick.

That's why we're over here
doing these type of checks.

Again, this is a part
about living together.

Y'all all gotta pull
your weight, yo.

NATHAN: That's crazy.

DAKORIEN: I'm going upstairs.

DAN: Yeah, everybody
needs guidance, right?

It's not gonna happen
on accident, and, you know,

I was no different
when I was 18, right?

If somebody would've
popped into my dorm room,

there would've been
a big stack of laundry and

a lot of other things going on
that needed to be taken care of.

The grind don't stop.

I think these guys
just need accountability,

and that's part of what they
sign up for when they come here.

PODCASTER 1:
Michigan goes into USC,

and this was a splattering.

PODCASTER 2:
Yeah, they didn't play great.

Bryce Underwood was
under duress quite a bit.

PODCASTER 1:
Can they bounce back here

after having two early losses

and find a way
to continue to win here

and find themselves
in the playoffs?

DOOLEY:
All right, roll it.

SAMPSON: Okay, so here we go,
Bryce, USC game.

COMMENTATOR:
Shotgun here for Bryce Underwood

with three receivers, two
split right, one to the left.

And they'll go left
quickly down the sidelines

as he's looking for
Donovan McCulley, incomplete.

Looking like from the defense,

he's getting some
sort of quarters look.

DOOLEY:
He's got high access here.

Just get the ball
to Marsh right now

to be second and manageable
versus taking a hunger shot.

I just think that's
being him being him.

SAMPSON:
Let's watch it from the back.

I think he has a good match
with the running back,

but you can just tell he has
his decision made pre-snap here.

A private quarterback coach
dives into the small nuances

of the quarterback position.

I don't believe
you play quarterback.

I believe you live quarterback.

What a private
quarterback coach does

is basically give the evaluation
on the quarterback

and make his weakness
his strength.

Obviously, he gets a lot
from the Michigan staff,

so we don't want to be too
overbearing during the season,

but always
give constant reminders.

Okay, second play. Second and
10, full field progression here.

COMMENTATOR: Three receivers
split to the right.

Now, they put Marsh in motion
from right to left.

Haynes in the backfield.

Back to pass is Bryce Underwood.

He's going to dump it down
to Justice Haynes.

Has to make a man miss
at the line of scrimmage.

Gets a yard.
Call it two yards.

Run that back. You can tell
he got a little antsy there.

You know, he sift

and got over the backside B-gap
for no reason.

He could have stayed
in a harder protection

and just got that ball out,
but we'll clean that up.

The big thing,
what we do with Bryce

is obviously cue up the plays
that we identify as issues

and making sure that he does
not duplicate the mistake

game after game.

A lot of people look
for instant gratification

when it comes
to the quarterback position

and truly don't understand

that this position
has to continue to evolve

and to continue to be developed.

You know,
next play is your best play.

SAMPSON: Third and eight here.
Obviously, big time.

Need to convert here.

COMMENTATOR: Bryce Underwood
trying to change the play here.

Now claps his hands.

Takes the snaps.
Going to fire it out to Haynes.

That might be a lateral.

USC picks it up.
Has there been a whistle?

They're saying incomplete.

SAMPSON:
They're a smart football team.

They're well coached.

Lincoln Riley has these
guys coached up well.

So they saw Bryce kill it
to a different play.

They said,
"Hey, let me do the same thing."

I think I will count that
as a miss for Bryce, you know.

I think the decision was great.
The idea was great,

and I obviously wish
he had a throwback.

He does a heck of a job
here with this fake.

Good. Love the action here.

- DOOLEY: That was a great job.
- SAMPSON: Yeah.

DOOLEY: I've been impressed with
his ability to weather storms.

Once you're known as a star

and people expect you
to put on your cape every game,

how do you deal with that
at being 18 years old?

Yeah, you hear
the glitz and glamour,

but you're still looked at
in a fishbowl,

and you're being evaluated
every second.

Comes at an ultimate sacrifice.

You sacrifice your childhood.
You sacrifice friendships.

You sacrifice time.

You know, and those are things
that you can't get back.

BRYCE:
For the USC game,

I feel like I could have
prepared better for the game.

Football is really a game of
time, a game of seconds, really.

Every second count. I prepare
the best I can for next week.

As a team, we still got a lot
of things we need to work on,

but just not taking time
for granted, you know.

We have game prep this week.

I do a lot of studying.

I'm watching their film.
There's countless hours.

I'm up late every night,
basically.

It's nerve-racking.

At times, some people
give up on themselves

because they don't have nobody
to resort to or speak to

or communicate with, and I have.

I feel more than that.
I got a support system.

Coming back home,
it's only a 20-minute drive, so.

I have somewhere
I can decompress and everything.

Get away from everything.

JAY:
It's already 10:00, man.

I got to whoop you real quick
and get you--

Send you home, man.

Something to think about.

Here we go.

BRYCE:
I like being at home.

Just being able
to be comfortable here.

13 in the left one--
in the left one over there.

Oh, you almost got
the yellow one in.

I'm going to shoot for fun
until you knock something down.

BRYCE: My dad is somebody
that's been pushing me,

motivating me,
coaching me my entire life.

We got to call these
pockets out, man. Every shot.

Everything better be on point.

JAY: At home,
while he's trying to relax,

he's always getting coached.

With Bryce,
college is almost a step for you

to find out who you are.

I know you can overcome failure
with no problem,

but I don't want you to fail

and not have nobody
right there to pick you up.

All right, man.
We got to play for real.

All right, cool. Here we go.

BRYCE:
One thing that was big

coming from my dad, of course,

that I'm really just
not understanding

probably like,
these last couple of years is

taking things for granted.

Give everything,
leave everything on the field

because not everybody
had this opportunity.

At a very young age,
I was upset at times

because I felt like I wasn't
getting the recognition.

And now that I am, it's like,

this is what
you've been asking for

your whole life, you know, so.

Pressure only strives me
to be better.

Yellow one, corner pocket.

Five, corner pocket.

Seven, corner pocket too.
Here it comes.

Oh, I hit the other ball.
My bad.

It's quiet in here.

BRYCE:
I learned from my dad.

You've got to be
mentally stronger than them

and physically stronger
than them.

Of course
I didn't want to hear that.

I did not want to hear that.

But, well, it got me here
to where I am today,

so I'm nothing
but grateful for it.

JAY: Oh, that was nice.
That was nice.

Yeah, it wasn't like that.

Eight ball, corner pocket. I'm
going to get it in that pocket.

That's how
I'm going to do it now.

Oh, bitch.
That's not a good shot.

That's not a good shot.

Something wrong with the ball.

Do you want to play again?

JAY:
Absolutely not. I lost.

REPORTER: Several Wolverines
billed last week's game at USC

as a playoff game.

And with the loss, Michigan
is now in elimination game mode.

Washington comes in
with just one loss.

The Huskies boast one of
the nation's best quarterbacks,

running backs,
and wide receivers.

And they knocked off Michigan
last season in Seattle.

For there to be
a November stretch run

and a chance to make the game
as meaningful as it can be,

this is a must-win.

Obviously,
it's an important game,

coming off a loss,

but ultimately,
the biggest thing for me,

for him today, is just to
be confident and remain himself.

Take care of the football.

PODCASTER: It's 4-2 Michigan,
coming off that loss at USC

against a 5-1 Washington team.

Head coach there,

former Michigan passing
game coordinator, Jedd Fisch.

Very well coached team
offensively, the Huskies.

MAN: I think their quarterback
is really talented.

Yeah. You know
what's actually surprising?

There's some
talented quarterbacks

in the Big Ten this year.

Like, the quarterback play in
the Big Ten is elite right now.

COMMENTATOR 1: Now it's up
to Michigan to figure out

how you're going
to crack the code

against a dynamic quarterback
in Demond Williams.

They're very good
in the red zone.

They're very good at putting
the ball in the end zone.

COMMENTATOR 2:
Now it's kind of do or die

for postseason hopes and dreams.

Big opportunity
and a big challenge today

with this Washington team.

COMMENTATOR 3: Second down
and 12 here for the Huskies.

Oh, it's incomplete.

Should have been picked off
by Jyaire Hill.

And quite frankly,
that should be six.

He threw that well behind
his intended receiver, Boston,

and Jyaire
had a catch-and-run touchdown.

I mean, nothing but green turf
in front of him.

Let's win. Let's win right here.

COMMENTATOR 3: Back to pass.
Going to deliver to Semaj.

And it's off his chest
and he dropped it.

That might
have been a touchdown.

COMMENTATOR 1:
That ball hit him

right in the middle of the zero.

That was a bull's-eye.

Against a team like this
with an explosive offense,

you've got to take advantage
of every opportunity

to put points on the board.

And it could be up two
touchdowns, yet it's still 0-0.

BRYCE: The score
should have been way different

in the first half.

But good play, bad play,
next play, you know,

just being able
to focus on the next play,

no matter what the end result
of the last play was,

is really
what I've been preaching.

COMMENTATOR
Underwood takes the snap.

And it's McCulley on a slant,
caught from Underwood,

and he's dropped at the 41.

Underwood fires.
He's got Zack Marshall.

40, 35.

Zack Marshall. 30, 25.

Scoreless here.
44 seconds to go, first quarter.

♪ Let's go ♪

They got it to Andrew Marsh.

To the 10, to the 5.
Touchdown!

Great job by the offensive line
by stalling the pass rush.

You give that much space
to Andrew Marsh,

boy, he's just going to be gone,
which he was.

First and goal, Huskies.

Up the middle
and into the end zone

for a Washington touchdown.

Pound it!

Pound it all night!

Pound them!

♪ Let's go ♪

COMMENTATOR: Underwood.
Hand off to Jordan Marshall.

Running left. 10, 5.
Jordan Marshall to the end zone

and in for the Blue!

Touchdown, Wolverines!

And Michigan is back on top.

Washington has fallen behind
20-0 and 10-0

in their last two weeks.
They won both games.

Williams back to pass again.

Delivers over the middle.
And it's--

- Is it picked off again?
- Jimmy Rolder.

Jimmy Rolder comes up with it.

COMMENTATOR 2; Snap.
Wide receiver screen to Goodwin.

Across the 25 to the 30
and out of bounds.

Bryce Underwood takes the snap.
Here comes the blitz.

Underwood fires.
He's got Zack Marshall

on a crossing route.
To the 40, far side, 30.

And he's chopped down at
the 27-yard line of the Huskies.

Underwood under center.

Fakes a reverse.
Rolls out to his right.

He's got a man wide open
in the end zone!

Touchdown!

The best game of
Bryce Underwood's career.

Good job, baby!
Good job, baby!

COMMENTATOR: John, if you
told me this late in the game,

Michigan will have held
Washington to seven points,

I would have taken that
100 times out of 100.

Can they close it out
is the question?

Go!

Way downfield.
Looking for Boston.

Jump ball. And he drops it.

Did it get picked off?

COMMENTATOR 2:
It fell into his lap.

COMMENTATOR:
It fell into the lap

of a Wolverine
who was on the ground.

All the things that can go right
for you in that moment,

you make a bad play on the ball

and then end up
with an interception.

[fans cheering]

Wolverines are in victory
formation here at the Big House.

Final score,
Michigan 24 and Washington 7.

Hey, keep winning, boys.

Oh, yeah, bro,
Appreciate you, bro.

Oh, yeah.
Let me get some camera time.

- I came to say hello, bro.
- I love you, too, brother.

BRYCE: I worked a lot
throughout the week.

And we did what we had to do
to win the game

and that's all that really
matters at the end of the day.

[whooping]

This last one, young guy
keeps making plays.

21 of 27.
Efficiency off the chain.

230 yards and two touchdowns.

Number 19, Bryce Underwood!

[all cheering]

We gave Bryce the game ball
in the Washington game

because of his poise,
how he executed the offense

at an elite level,
making the great decisions.

Those are the things
that allowed him to be

the player of the game
in that game.

What a win,
fun win to be a part of.

We talked after the game
at USC about being all in

and trusting each other,
trusting the process.

And the response by our coaches
was outstanding,

but more importantly,
our players.

Our players played
with their hair on fire,

played with detail,
played with great fundamentals.

And, uh, you know, just really
proud of our kids, man.

Really, really proud of our kids
and how they played.

That's a really good football
team we played, Washington.

They've only lost to us
and Ohio State,

and they played
really good football.

So credit to them,
but credit to our guys

for competing at a high level
in those situations.

Felt like Michigan football.

Felt like what
it should feel like.

There's still things
you look through,

and offensively
we've got to be able to get

those third and ones,
fourth and ones.

So we'll go back
to the drawing board on that

and what we've got to do
to get better there.

But really, really proud
of our kids and how they played.

We have two more opportunities
in the Big House to play,

and you don't want to let
those opportunities falter.

Going into the next week
or into any upcoming game,

we've got to win.

That's dominate,

play our football,
win every single game.

COMMENTATOR:
Well, in life as in sport,

sometimes you get knocked down,

but it's not
whether you stay down,

it's how you get up and respond.

Last week,
Oregon got knocked down.

This week, they want to be
the team knocking down,

and it will be
the Rutgers Scarlet Knights

who will be the opponent
they try to take down.

SHERRONE: What we will never do
is let one game affect the what?

Next game.

It's going to affect our growth,

it's not going to affect
our reaction.

We have to go in here, take our
medicine today, and go attack.

COMMENTATOR 2:
This team is different.

The way that they focus,
the way that they prepare,

the way that they're able
to get this bad taste

out of their mouth,

and right here
at Piscataway against Rutgers

is the way to do it.

Oregon's going to have to play

some really good
quality football to start with,

offensively and defensively.

Oregon needs to take charge
in this game early

and throughout the game.

COMMENTATOR 1:
Dante. Back split.

Motion man. Pitch it back.
Going left.

Whittington
with a block up front.

Gets a first down and more.
Down the sideline.

50. A block. To the 40, the 30.

Down the sideline.
Speed to the 20, 10.

Touchdown, Noah Whittington!

COMMENTATOR 2:
Oregon has just come out

and looked sharp as can be.

They came out and really took it
to Rutgers right off the bat.

COMMENTATOR: Dante back to throw
off a little play action.

Wants to go deep.
Down the middle.

He's got it.

Diving catch. Sadiq.
Touchdown, Oregon.

And Oregon's offense

putting on a little bit
of a show here early.

I mean, at the beginning
of the game, you know,

we executed very well.

We hit a lot
of goals offensively.

COMMENTATOR: Way out
to the right, Dakorien Moore.

Ready for the snap.
Gonna turn.

And back to throw
off play action.

Going deep down the right side.
Catch made.

Make one move and go inside.

I think he stepped
out of bounds. No whistle yet.

Dakorien Moore made the catch,

and then he was going to try
to make a move inside.

Dan Lanning right there
telling him,

lock up that ball,
nice job, young man.

DAKORIEN: As far as
ball security, you know,

a couple of times
I put the ball in jeopardy.

It shouldn't have happened.

Since I am a perfectionist,
things would bother me so bad,

like I would beat myself up
about it.

So I got to go out there
and make it work.

COMMENTATOR:
Second down and five.

Shotgun again.

- Back to the air for more.
- Back to the end zone.

And this time it's
Dakorien Moore for the score.

What a great pass pattern
down there by Dakorien Moore.

I stuck,
sold the corner with my eyes,

made the safety think that
I was, you know, going that way,

and then got back to it.

- Look what he did to him.
- Perfect setup.

That was a perfect setup.

When I seen him deep,
I was like, goddamn.

Burned his ass. [grunts]

That's child's play.

[fans chanting]
Let's go, Ducks!

COMMENTATOR: 40 seconds. They'll
take the snap under this,

and that will be it,
the last play.

What a performance
by this Oregon football team.

56-10.

They responded the way

that the coaching staff
wanted them to.

After the Indiana game,

I think it just told us
how much we can bounce back,

how we determine
how our season goes.

We have this brotherhood
that nobody can break.

I think that's
bringing us so close

to where we're not going
to be beatable.

We're going to have
to beat ourselves

in order for other people
to have success on us.

First start against Illinois was
the moment I'm most proud of.

Learning early
in the week, like,

Zose's not playing this game.

"You going in. You starting."

Man, I'm in a rush. Gotta go.

We have some more people
entering the Moore house.

Everybody in this family
is competitive.

- Oh, no.
- I checked it first.

Oh, nope.

- Yeah!
- No, no.

DAKORIEN: That was the first
time I've actually played

a game on my birthday,
since I was like nine years old.

COMMENTATOR: ...throws,
where it is dropped.

He was covered by Devin Sanchez.

- Come on.
- Happy birthday, my guy.

Happy birthday to you.
All right.

DAKORIEN: Yeah, I damn tweaked
my knee at practice.

It was just me running around
and ball in the air.

Things happen.

It's like my first year.
I'm not trying to miss no game.

I'm trying to do
something historic here.

I want to come back
and help my team fight

for this national championship.
