Is there anything better than a safety running the alley, or making an open field tackle and triggering from depth to make a play in the run game, or reminding WRs to think twice about going over the middle. This video is a compilation of those types of plays that we have deemed safeties being fun. Enjoy!

[Applause] automatic first down here for Indiana A south ball time with a catch He’s drilled Second out Carr again up in AJ Graphics big headbangers tight ends in there Harris takes another shot in the direction of Dan Dishman who is knifed down is popped around the 10 That was a 37 yd yard run and they hand off again There’s a hit on the quarterback Starting to see this Ball State offensive line show some fight That’s behind Hall and all had to make especially Micah Kelly back in at the time Kobach AJ Thomas a little bit of a mental lapse with the location on the lateral throw from last week against Georgia State Play fake Thomas rolling to his right He’s going to dump it in the flat This is Malik Williams trying to shake loose McBride Quick pass to Hell trying to get away from Spillum but got spilled over Hand off is to calling timeouts to try and go down and score before halftime Here’s a toss play and that every point matters in in these big time games like this This is Vincent Davis going to be brought down Play fake to White now has a man on the outside Catch is made Letco and he is upended in a big way there in 15th place They don’t mind grinding it out They’re explosive team Good start for the Panthers of Georgia State Returnable kick for Steven Jones the bottom Lewis going to hand Smith trying to get to the edge and in space Harington I think your pardon trying to lead the way Here’s Tank Bsby again Johnson shoot for Auburn Ashford’s going to have a designed quarterback run and he is blasted Antonio leading tackler back in the lineup second half Whoa Really a big blow up for Jaylen Haynes First and goal now from the 10 Two tight end is in there Alier and brought down from ACBS is where it’s at Holmes coming back from the injury Anderson pitches it to the outside again And a wonderful tackle And [Applause] double screen Can’t get the first down because of a sensational tackle by Instead they go with Hatcher and he’s gobbled up for first and 15 Swing that out and a big hit in the open field What a tackle Armani Watts needs it Drum up Form tackle This is one of the better tackles in all of college football Last year five minutes to go here in the third Second down and 13 again they give to Miller Great open field stop the quarterback Third and 13 Bohannan shallow cross and it goes nowhere because BJ I might go low I wouldn’t go low early I don’t want to get hurt Hey Hey Here’s a They need to be able to get pressure on White Slings a beauty but it’s going to be picked off Antonio Greer on the tip drill But when I first saw this thing I was like is that hitting a defenseless receiver No But that’s a clean hit Lines out there Second down five Brown out of the back field Boy nowhere to go for Cardwell Different starting quarterback of this season for LSU Nice play fake with nobody open and Johnson look like first down now and they’ll keep it on the ground with Stevenson and Stevenson nice spin move against another quarterback keeper first down seemed like an emotional decision but he said he wanted to send the message and maybe part of the message was look you Pennix hands it off and an excellent [Applause] tune to Henry and Henry is hit by Brian Massie for attack to him left and just gets way laid there Nice defensive play Robinson Flackingham First down Starkle looking right rolling left throwing left and completes it And Derek De took a bad spill in game Wide receiver screen and cannot slip away Powers brought in a new offensive coordinator and Lashley from SMU you know remade the coaching staff Miami defense without your two best pass rushers your two best defensive players He’s continuing to fight like this And who’s finding a hole is going to be cut back inside He’s going to lose the after that play And they go with the reverse and it’s Mosley and he is chopped down right outside into the hands of RT outside tackle Another flag back in the 20 Levis in the double coverage and Ali took a huge shot Red in motion got a trips left formation for Brown He hands it off This is Die going to be brought down after he’s made some plays Going to run the ball here to Michael Allen and again a good open fire should have caught that but you’ll see a few times tonight Gets a four-man rush Here’s Spiller out of the back field and taken down by the first right at midfield First and 10 for Caleb Elby And here’s Jefferson on the carry Oh great tackle before star Unbelievable Now he’s got to put up with us on every every weekend Wow what a hit Harine is going to pitch it and the ball is loose again Army’s got it Options on the play Endman of the line of scrimmage is going to take that pitch away All you have to do is catch it and get out of Give to Letty Brown and a big play arm So only a few days to prepare for the game So conditioning is an issue especially after a long drive the throw up first since Timbo but it’s Emry Jones that has been the starter So that’s the question here It’s Nate Carter who gets the hand off and Cedric Cunningham just there But a first and goal now here The ball came loose for Manel Scooped up in the back field on Dobins who’s dropped by WZ He directs a little traffic and WZ trying to pick up the rush there from Andre Carter They dump it off and Arby blows it up Outstanding works Like yeah you’re darn right I am That’s what I’m trying to do But if there’s no flag they didn’t see it Words to the outside This is Lar Roach and a good tackle on the backside That the long hand off to G trying to get to the edge Nice tackle at home I’m surprised they just kneel down And G going to get dropped for a three-yd loss you know that exchange with um athletic director check glass and of course coach Kim who’s done a tremendous job with that program uh since taking over from Paul Johnson brought that up this week out of the Georgia State timeout Mitchell trying to get left side in a big time out and there gets drilled as he can’t catch it It’ll be fourth down Brown again He knows he’s going He’s going to go out with him Even if he makes that catch he’s going to put him on his back well short of the first down Right now on second and 10 Tennessee is going to run it again And second and goal Tennessee straight ahead Big hit at the three with his team now Second and six for Oats Quick look there to Pard and a great open back field Swinging out to Azi Excellent open field tackle by Chris away from a defender I love how Oklahoma State can go fast They they 43 yd line And that’s Harrington again who they’re riding heavily It’s time [Music] Why not a runoff tackle already 59 yds passing for Gibson And this is Jeremiah Knight to the 40 Yo we got to talk about this hit right here Just that’s how you lower the shoulder up there Gimpy ankle and all [Music] locked down right by the air He throws behind Presley who’s able to make the catch Becomes a foot race So some production early on the ground This is an offense that needs to be patient against Tulsa defensively out of the back field Bentley And that’s what Tulsa does Why this quarterback is so special because he will begin to stretch the field He’s going to take you both sides to the right and now to the left side of the field That’s what he brings He’ll hand it off to Brooks on second Oh he gets tattooed at the third offensive line lineup for SMU this season with Alana Ali at right tackle to night and he immediately hands it off to Bitley and Ulisses the Cougar 35 down six and a chance to take the lead but Sigers gets down catch finished off a great comeback win over Houston back in 2017 why in trouble catch made but well Harris out of the back field Well defended in the studio with a chance Stokes trying to get to the corner and he is upended by Derek Down and 10 for the Golden Knights on the opening possession of the ball game right after the kick and a nice open field tackle on Ryan forward He’s just one for his last eight back to the ground game and Milton gets taken down instead of a jet sweep to Guyer in trouble Another tackle for a long 37 yds after the replay overturned it and a gain of not sure what he’s supposed to do That’s an almost impossible penalty to avoid a wide receiver screen of touchdowns Seven times Second down and 10 He wants to go to the air again And Lewis gets stuck Goes into fumbles or an interception They need something to spark that big and he’s under push up front for M G runs right by him before taking a shot Lost the football and Darius G is slow to get up Derek Tucker with the hit Good open field Stafford Davis Mills playing well for them Lewis pass is caught but nowhere to go Flag down Tremendous runs already Flowers in motion Pass over the middle and it’s going to be dried loose and incomplete Boyin the freshman safety does an excellent job there as CJ Lewis coming in He’s open Balls on a good location was an excellent very easily could be Texas&M up at number five after this weekend and Fenwick going to be brought down behind the line as he became number one and he got rocked at the 20 yd line on the timeout Big play here Spurs the catch 15 for the first down Spurs gets the throughout this game First and goal on the eight Going to keep it on the ground with Houston He’s down to about the play within the offense Connell gets rid of it to the tight end Pay Durham to the line of scrimmage Fiveman look coming near side Batty nowhere to run Tennessee be an all-American If he plays good they don’t turn the ball over There’s still potentially a playoff team D Prescott he hit Malise shot Second down tonight AIS by seven cut down that time by Donovan Wilson Was an outstanding player in his own right Donovan Wilson John Chavis who you can’t make that up and then he took over as head coach They couldn’t do it in chops White just tucked it under trying to run for it Took a hit down low Made some spectacular plays already in this one And they are running in his direction for a fairly short game go in motion to hand it off for Shell and he is whipped out at the 15 yd Marshall pulls it second and Drew easily has a first down slipping to near the 40 LSU and Florida trapa and here goes Josh Smith going right oh he got a terrific block and then there’s a great tackle Play action Do Oh brother do after surgery in the off season has gotten back to his playing weight And this run goes nowhere with TJ Wheit by White He couldn’t finish the deal You end up with second and long Now they keep it on the ground Draw still going to bring up Let’s call it a 24 Short pass caught near side Caught by RPO They don’t call Keeps it Throws over the middle and a massive hit break in motion Second down for Stark He throws play I got a cool story The left tackle who just won the job a few weeks ago So first and long and a long one of four running backs at the time now into round for Von Pearson His first touch Pearson picks up one Brought down here by Here comes Puka to the wide side of the field Look at that speed All about that maneuver in the slot Great pressure off the edge March down the field Thomas on first down Tuck some runs Coming to the sideline He’s going to tackle punishing a game Going have to tighten it up Coats on the carry and gets upended after Brad get this O line together Let’s find a way to run the football I don’t care how many guys are in the box here for Oklahoma Williams going to keep it and he gets upended coverage I want to see him go from one to two and fighting is checked out It is an air raid offense with some big play receivers and especially with the field position they’ve been given Six yds on first down but they’ll get backed up here Thousand calories here in Oxford Yeah no chicken on a stick for Ardan Key What a hit that time Grant Delpit allowed his coordinators to do their job Tamu as we get an extended look of Jordan Tamu the junior juke momentum back up tempo run it on second and 10 Williams only finds 1106 Lewis over the middle and that’s blown up Only a gain of two All three turned into touchdowns at Boyisee State This kick gets away Matthews from the 22 and he’s caught back at the 17 yd line Boom Over the middle and it’s a completion A big hit delivered by Howard Matthew One stop That’s it Haven’t gotten one tonight Boon firing over the middle and taking a big hit Was Crowder 175 lbs but he is fearless working the middle of the field book He knows he’s going to get popped and Howard Matthews obviously trying Howard sets throws over the middle and a big hit and a penalty flag comes up This could be targeting Making contact with the helmet That’s all they need to decipher And right now that’s an awfully high hit on a on a defenseless wide receiver right there I see helmets colliding So from what I understand offense third and six for the Bulldog Kendall will throw to the left That’s Smoke Harris and he gets knocked down Mike new puts a lot on his plate especially at the line of scrimmage and he made a mistake there trying to get to the edge as right and Lawrence is looking to the left and now flips it over the middle over the head of Rogers who takes a huge shot there from Stevens and sitting back there playing his deep safety spot you know that’s just a a big hit right there in the backside of of offense struggling Can the defense get in the act like Oklahoma State did in the first half Pressure comes They hit the tight end the Cowboy back and then a Jar Martin their leading receiver after that conversion On first down a keep by Sanders taken out of scored 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter defense was brilliant in the second half juggling and it’s intercepted on the ricochet the defensive end who’s had a Baylor Bears he threw two last week in bed they still beat the Sooners John Paul Richardson put him in motion option football m keeps it and it’ll bring up third down and manageable on the road against Arkansas Bigsby taken down for no 28 yds for Rodriguez A new careerhigh 176 tonight Now play action Let off on the back foot and it’s too far in front of Robinson who gets smacked to Marabel Great defensive play He won’t get there after the penalty result in a first down Tough run by Desmond Toss to ETN Big hole left side and thrown down as much as De’Arra King with his playmaking ability and belief Swings it on the far side It’s an unusual place for a tight end to be but Revan formations and personnel Blitz coming on third down and it works out perfectly to Curry and Wilkins in trouble Got away from it Steps out and throws a dart right down the middle to Ryan Newsome He feels the pressure now Watch him maneuver one way then back the other way Work his way up in the middle of the pocket and Ohio stacks the box Pimpleton motions Lewis will keep it He is hit in the back field and [Applause] again in a lot of trouble This is where Oklahoma a lot It sure does Smith trying to do it on his own out of his own re but the football It’s knocked away Kicked inside the 40 yd line of West territory but facing third and 11 is going to throw the ball short and that tackle in the open field That play really he was the quarterback Third and two Marcus did not Fiveman run They go outside Robinson couldn’t shake Third and 20 Daniels had no chance whatsoever Hooker Nine of 11 passing Quarterback run and driven down by Hooker moving the pocket and the South Carolina defense has been much better They bl the tight end Darnell Washington also sideline here’s Macintosh and they go with a chain again This is Amari Daniels and he’s getting in on the fun He got stood up in the game before that is in shotgun from from his own 21 He throws the wheel to Bis Jones and Bis gets a yard He was asking for it You might need to hook him up You’re the guy with the Lulu That one blown up but recovering by Davis who got out of there Excuse me That is it is now crossing route and they’re able to get it out of the back field Little big hit Evan Stewart cut down for a touchdown Trying for the screen with Robinson A nice open field tackle on third and two And he’s not going to get
