00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:12.599
fourteen fifteen, powered by Nova Insurance
Services. Hey sure, your most prized

3
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:17.960
possessions, kat z R two SAD
and iHeart Radio Station. Hey, good

4
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.160
afternoon, everybody. Welcome to I
on the Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen

5
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:25.120
fifty I'm Steve Rivera, He's Jakin
ZoZ. We're by ourselves today. We

6
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.239
got fifteen minutes if you'd like to
give us a quick call to start the

7
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:32.600
show. Five two zero four one
six seventy four forty A lot of football

8
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.000
today. Yeah, we had a
fun shot, I think. Yeah,

9
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.399
Well, Justin Spears he's always fun, right, He'll tell us some things

10
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:42.479
about what's going on in his brain
about the game. But the young brain

11
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:48.119
of his, you know, I
was just thinking, oh, yes,

12
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:50.640
I know it could be dangerous sometimes, but I'm just thinking, I don't

13
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.679
think Justin was born ninety two and
when I was going to be Washington and

14
00:00:54.759 --> 00:01:00.359
nine. He's like to say,
he's even not even a glimmer in his

15
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.000
parents' eye. So if it didn't
happen when you were board, did it

16
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:10.599
really happen? Well two kids today? Yeah, yeah, I almost no.

17
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.680
You know, they have the most
recency bias of any generation ever,

18
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.519
no question, no sense of history. You're exactly correct. I hope I

19
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.760
was listening to this. I told
you about the time that I was sitting

20
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.000
in front of some guys at a
volleyball match. You have a volleyball match.

21
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.680
They were talking about the greatest cards
in Arizona history. Mike Bibby was

22
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.879
the furthest back that they went.
You know, they didn't go any anywhere

23
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.959
before that Mike. You know,
nobody. It was everybody after Bibby.

24
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.680
Yeah, well was pretty good.
It was good. But what I'm saying

25
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.719
there were a bunch of guys before
Bibby that were really good. Of course,

26
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.680
I said, did you guys know
that? I turned around, I

27
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.760
said, you guys know that the
all time assist leader to Arizona was Russell

28
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.599
Brown, who played in nineteen seventy
eight, And like, who the hell

29
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.719
is Russell Brown? And exactly exactly, no idea. It's like the bo

30
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.799
did get off my lawn. It's
like when they had the vote, I

31
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.959
don't know, six seven, eight
years ago whatever, it was the most

32
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.159
the all time best mccale moment.
Yeah, Derrick Williams, Derek Williams,

33
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.400
that would be a register of the
top ten for old guys like you and

34
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.560
me. But anyways, uh,
speaking of ninety two, George Maloo was

35
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.919
going to join, which is great, great get for us today. I

36
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.199
found him, I thought him.
He took me, took forever to call

37
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.800
him. He's he works like on
the docks in la in the long Beach.

38
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.280
Are you he says, I'm gonna
be calling you from We're gonna be

39
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.439
talking to you from the some kind
of bucket somewhere, some bucket on the

40
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.439
on the on the shore or somewhere. So he said, okay, cool.

41
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.719
Yeah, but you know he's he
was the quarterback in that game.

42
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.840
And you know remember, you know
Heath Bray talking about this yesterday. They

43
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.520
got he physically got the hell beat
out of him two years in a row

44
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.080
against Washington where they put up fifty
four in Arizona, two years in a

45
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.159
row in Seattle and then comes down
and turns it around on him and beats

46
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.840
him here. So I would love
to get some of his thoughts on what

47
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.800
that was like that right, those
who are right after our times together with

48
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:02.919
the team. But George was a
freshman I think when we were covering him,

49
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.000
him, Ronnie Biale, he was
a he was a redshirt freshman,

50
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.680
and then he played as a he
was a freshman and then a red shirting

51
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:15.879
and then he was a redshirt freshman
eighty nine, and then you know,

52
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.159
he was ninety nine one ninety two. It was the starting quarterback, right,

53
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.400
Okay, So I look forward to
that. We'll talk a lot about

54
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.919
football obviously. What else is going
on? We have basketball started yesterday,

55
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.039
softball started yesterday. Uh so there's
a lot of things going on right now.

56
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:35.000
It's the busiest time of the year. Kind of rights a second a

57
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.439
second level, a second season of
sports is is about to get started with

58
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.639
you guys, you said, you
know, well you got the fall sports

59
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:46.719
baseball and softball getting going. Then
you've got uh you know, basketball practices

60
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:51.479
are starting started with the Red Blue
game. Yeah, man, Steve,

61
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.520
I know it gets the day closer, you know. Artily, I got

62
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.800
I got told last night I'm on
the stat crew again for this next all

63
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:00.680
seasons. So you just got told. Well, it's kind of like,

64
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:02.840
you know, it's almost one of
those things were it's kind of assumed,

65
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.439
but then you don't hear anything.
So you go, am I on the

66
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.280
crew and then oh yeah, you
guys are on the crew though the second

67
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.560
tier you guys are, well they
are not. And that's the thing.

68
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.920
Well, there's the second group of
guys I could do. The sister was

69
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.199
like my son Adam, who's who's
one of my side kicks. You know,

70
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.839
he he knows how to run the
computer. So if I, you

71
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.279
know, you know, if I
if I go down during the game,

72
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.959
he's there to do it. So, but there's another there's another group and

73
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.959
then I you know obviously do the
women as well. So it's gonna be

74
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.439
interesting to see how that works season. But it's gonna be fun. I

75
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.360
think it's gonna be fun season for
both seasons. Yeah, no question,

76
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.000
it's gonna be a lot of a
lot, a lot of fun. So

77
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:44.720
jed not today, but the coordinators
weren't today. I think that he talked

78
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.240
about any who's who's out, who's
ou who got hurt last week? Who'll

79
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:53.560
be back? Justin flow? Just
he got back. I thought there was

80
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.040
another guy too, Well, there
are a bunch of guys got hurt on

81
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.839
the defensive. Uh, there was
somebody on the saw fix with one of

82
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.839
the being main guys. It wasn't
money money, it was a minute.

83
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.079
No, Jake Minder didn't get hurt, but Dustin Flow got hurt. I

84
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.800
didn't know that. I can't think
who else. But they had like seven

85
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.920
or eight injured. That's good.
That's not good. Well, it's not

86
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.680
good, and it's okay. And
the fact that they still won the game,

87
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.839
oh yeah, you know the quarterback. That game's past. I'm talking

88
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.879
about looking for No. Look,
this team can score, well, you

89
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:30.120
know you look, just I keep
going along and and I'm getting Washington's not

90
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.000
only I think the best team in
the fact, well they're one of the

91
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.519
top two or three teams in the
country. No course, what do we

92
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:40.879
talked about before the season started,
realistically that if the defense could hold teams

93
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:46.600
to x the errors the offense could
score. That's totally oppw totally opposite.

94
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:53.360
Now you're hoping Ken the team hold
teams to thirty defensively and Ken they score

95
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.959
the right That's that's the thing.
The only chance Arizona has to win on

96
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.959
Saturday. They can keep under thirty. You don't You don't know that that

97
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.720
can happen. But if they do, they still got to score more than

98
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:09.040
they score score right, right,
if you were a gambling man, if

99
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:15.759
you were a gambling man, who's
starting, I think off Fafita is starting

100
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.959
well. I think you know when
look, Jaden Philora walked off the field

101
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:25.079
in a boot, so that that
reeks of you know, high ankle sprain

102
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.199
or something like that. They've said, no, they've not said word one,

103
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.160
but I bet it's like sixty forty
though. You know, yeah,

104
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.680
I'll go the other way. I'll
go the other way. Why is that

105
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.800
just because you think they they're gonna
do everything they can to get him out

106
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:43.800
there. Yes, and no disregard
to Fafita, but go with the guy

107
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.240
who's brought you to this point.
Yeah, and then if you can't go

108
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.720
bring it through that, that's it
would be a tough spot for a Fafita,

109
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:53.120
right to guess, first start against
the top ten teen you know that

110
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.560
that that's a tough go. But
you also got to have a quarterback that

111
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:58.519
you know, if you're playing against
Washington, he's gotta be able to go

112
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.079
around. Yeah, uh, that
that's part of that's part of Jaden's game.

113
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.959
He's got to be able to run
around a little bit. And if

114
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:09.480
he's hobbled at all at all.
I don't know that you can throw him

115
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.519
out there. It's like Burrow last
night, did you see him? He

116
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.240
kind of and they were terrible.
That won the game. You know,

117
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.639
Yeah, they're bad, so,
you know, and especially and with Delora,

118
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.720
it's you know, it's his right
foot. It's just it's his push

119
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.480
off foot to throw. So you
got to take that into consideration. There's

120
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.160
only so much that tape can do
right right, especially we're a quarterback running

121
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.920
you know, we've seen what you
know, what happens when when a quarterback

122
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.680
who has to use his feet like
that has has an ankle. Is that's

123
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.480
not good. We're four games in
and they have are doing nothing on the

124
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.319
running back as well. They've said
nothing about any of the end the world

125
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.399
no more Thursday. Well hopefully here's
something on Thursday. But I don't know

126
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:54.399
how much. If you're a jet
fish, are you gonna tell Washington Jade

127
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.720
Delores starting, No, You're you're
gonna say something like we're hopefully he's gonna

128
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.839
play. Well, that's what makes
them prepare for Well, what do we

129
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.680
say yesterday? Coming off when we
left the press coverage? Uh, they

130
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.800
kind of got saved with the information, say we have no new information,

131
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.759
right, and they could stay with
that and then still be saying that they're

132
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.439
being honest. Not do that with
pretty much all the guys. You Yeah,

133
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.079
why give up the information if you
don't have to. Yeah, And

134
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.800
I don't blame and don't blame him
that. I'm sure Washington the same.

135
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.879
Put whoever you want out there,
and good luck. Your game plan is

136
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.800
still the same. We're gonna we're
gonna throw the ball. And and and

137
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:35.000
Jed did say that they're very you
know, when we had from very similar

138
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.360
corders, just one way more experience
than the other. And he said that's

139
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.679
the main difference between the two,
right, you know, right, because

140
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.320
I'm sure you know, Ifafitt is, I'm sure he can run around as

141
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.080
well, sure, you know,
And we just haven't seen him have to

142
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.519
do it, No, we haven't
in practice. And he looked impressive to

143
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.759
us. Again, it gets Arizona's
defense, But I like him. I

144
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.080
think I have no qualms with him
coming in and being the replacement because we've

145
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.639
seen him. We've seen him in
action and even in the you know,

146
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:05.399
he threw four passes on on on
Saturday, but his decisiveness, which is

147
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:11.519
what was missing the entire game from
Jaden de Laura. He lacked decisiveness through

148
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.960
the whole game. Right, he
was going back and then he was fading

149
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.519
back further, or he was scrambling, and he was going he just was

150
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.879
not finding guys and and and for
some reason, No Offa Feeta got in

151
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.799
there and he found guys right away, and he threw four nice passes,

152
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.639
completed all four of him, and
you know they got him to win.

153
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:35.039
So look, I have a belief
that Jetfish is gonna put out, put

154
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.440
the guy out that thinks they can
win with, no matter who it is.

155
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.759
Right, if he thinks to Laura
can't do what they need him to

156
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.480
do, whether it's because of his
ankle or because of just the way he's

157
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.960
played this year, then they're gonna
throw No off A feet out there because

158
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.759
well, he feels comfortable with this
is his program, and in order for

159
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.840
him to be a good at what
he does, he's got to do that.

160
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.919
He's got to make those decisions.
Yeah, he's getting paid pretty well

161
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.879
to make those decisions. Us.
You know what gets me though, a

162
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.360
little bit is all the you've got
to play No Fafita like guys, I

163
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.519
mean he I know, he looked
good on Saturday, but he hasn't done

164
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.240
all that much, right, you
want to throw him out there against the

165
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.159
top ten team. I don't assume
he's going to be better than Jade de

166
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.960
Laura. I see the same things
you do, buddy, from different people.

167
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.799
The thing is that said, with
that tone that you said, I

168
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.440
think they're just tired of Jaden people
are. That's what it is. They're

169
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.159
just enough of it. We've seen
enough and we don't like what we've seen.

170
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:31.120
Let's try to go with the other
guy. Well, he said,

171
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:37.360
like you said, four games in, I know, and nothing's really changed

172
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.960
right, Well, and you know, and they've got three wins and you

173
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.000
and that's what that's what Jas defendsing
me. But the three wins against who

174
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.440
the worst team in the pack get
you? You know, you're tepping nau

175
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:54.440
and they weren't they beat those guys
you know handling well not but you know,

176
00:10:54.559 --> 00:11:00.279
but not not. The offense didn't
dominate, hasn't dominated any team,

177
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.039
you know. Look at you.
You're evaluating like I do it. I

178
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.840
like it because because if this was
a horse and you're picking trying to figure

179
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:11.120
out the forum. This horse of
the forum, middle of the pack.

180
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.000
Middle you can find better horses probably, And here comes the here comes secretariat

181
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:22.879
right right right. He could get
lap you by twenty laps the stretch lane.

182
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.840
And you're gonna say, you know, what are you gonna say?

183
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:26.240
Okay, well, not there yet. Oh we know you're not there yet.

184
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.360
But what are you thinking about the
eighteen points? Oh? I think

185
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.720
it's gonna be more. But let
me tell you. I don't think it's

186
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.120
gonna be more than eighteen. But
let me tell you. I thought Arizona

187
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.679
was gonna cover no problem again Stamford. But then we were talking to the

188
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.960
kid from Stamford and we the history
of the game, how Arizona's are We

189
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.200
struggled again Ken beating them, and
then I then I said, what the

190
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.399
hell you know? Because you know
and then Washington's got Washington's got a bad

191
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.240
history in the gate of Arizona.
So then there's that. There's that.

192
00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:01.360
So my my advice is stay away
away from the game, which I will.

193
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:07.159
Soone just takes me who is the
new Jay who he drank something he

194
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.799
should not? Haven't had a n
app today that it might early do you

195
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:18.159
bet quick. How you're on the
R and I and the ball. Hey

196
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.799
you guys, Richard, Richard,
Hey you got jay. You're saying,

197
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.240
you know, washingtonity think's the best
team in the conference. Uh, but

198
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:31.600
you know last week Colorado playing Oregon, I overlooked Oregon. Yes, and

199
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.919
I'll tell you I thinks overlooked him
again at this point would be a mistake.

200
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.600
Uh. Their coach. I learned
a lot about him. I think

201
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.240
he all did too. Steve you
might have mentioned it, but man,

202
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:45.279
his pregame speed, He's a maniac. I loved it. I loved it,

203
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.960
loved it great. Yeah, Well, Richard, you know, I

204
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.960
mean, did I noticed he hid
himself in the forehead? Did you notice

205
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.600
that? No? Not miss that? Yeah, he slammed himself in the

206
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.480
forehand like it was a beer can. He was smashing it his head.

207
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.759
Well, Richard, I will tell
you that after watching Oregon, and I

208
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:09.039
watched the whole game, I might
you know my order of those top four

209
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.279
it goes Washington, Oregon, Utah
USC four games. I don't disagree with

210
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.919
you, Washington, Oregon, Utah
US I got us USC in fourth place.

211
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:24.200
Who's third? Utah? Well,
it's amazing to digress what I su

212
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.759
kind of went a holl over USC. That was pretty amazing. But I'm

213
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.879
digressing. But you know, anyway, Oregon and Dan Lanny and that guy,

214
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.039
I think we got to factor him
into this. You know, Richard,

215
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.879
Richard, you've been around a long
time, do you. Doesn't matter

216
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.240
about those pregame speeches. You know
that everybody doesn't. This one just happened.

217
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.200
Doesn't matter. Sometimes it depends who's
giving it. Dion's really good at

218
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.519
it. But I gotta tell you, Dan Lanning and mentioned Hollywood in his

219
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.320
speech. Did you notice there?
Yes? He did, Yes, he

220
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.960
did. I have not heard that. This is how old I am,

221
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:05.679
though, since nineteen seventy three with
Switzer invoked Hollywood when we were getting ready

222
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.120
to play USC. They were number
one in the country. We were number

223
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.440
seventeen in the country. We had
a great team. We knew we had

224
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:16.440
a great team, and swift to
seven before the game at USC. I

225
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.840
don't like Hollywood. They're arrogant.
They're over there, shocking and jive,

226
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.720
and we're gonna go beat these guys. Yeah, he fired the team up.

227
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:30.960
Man well with the seven seventh tie
actually five yard line, we beat

228
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.240
him on every statistically, but we
should have won the game. All right,

229
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.200
Hey, Richard, thanks a bunch. We got to hit the road

322
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.160
Hey, welcome back to all about
here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty.

323
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:19.079
I'm Steve, He's Jake. Got
a guy Jason Spears from Covin Day.

324
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:22.920
Just what Jason? You know that
guy? Just you don't you know what

325
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.559
the foot about it? I didn't
want to screw up his last thing because

326
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.720
I always joke with him what his
last thing? Right? Just justin call

327
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.279
me mister Pierce, mister Pierce,
justin Pierce. Are you doing today?

328
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:38.319
You're busy? Are you busy?
Just a little bit, just a little

329
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.559
bit. I'm in the kale right
now, getting more done, and then

330
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.640
I'm gonna go on over to football
practice and see how many guys are in

331
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:51.920
booths and who's practicing and whatnot.
So boots were made for walking, they're

332
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:53.799
made for not walking. Yeah,
all right, So justin, b when

333
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:56.519
we mentioned that you were coming on
the show, we were mocking the fact

334
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:03.559
that you were not a blip on
the radar when Arizona beat Washington in nineteen

335
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:11.960
ninety two, uh two or three
years away from from blowing up on Yeah,

336
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:17.960
I was a little less than three
years away from being born. That's

337
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:21.519
that's here, because here's here's the
other part of that is that my sports

338
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:26.559
writing career was already over by that
time. So that's wow. Wait wait,

339
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:29.680
justin we hold on, hold on, that's to assume that it began.

340
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:34.839
So, you know, Steve and
I being the old guys and old

341
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:37.799
guys in the room, you know, we've been talking about this game,

342
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.079
you know already the last couple of
days at George Malulu coming on this afternoon,

343
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:44.920
he's going to talk about it.
But as somebody who wasn't there,

344
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:49.160
what what do you know of?
What are your impressions of what happened that

345
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:56.599
day? Good question of what in
nineteen ninety two, right, so I

346
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.920
know that Arizona was, uh,
we're Washington, excuse me? Was ranked

347
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:06.200
number one in the country. They
were coming off their national championship season.

348
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:12.759
I believe that the year prior to
that, they absolutely waxed Arizona fifty four

349
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:18.960
to nothing up in Seattle, and
in Arizona had a losing season, if

350
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:23.359
I'm not mistaken in nineteen ninety one, So you know, Arizona was certainly

351
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:30.640
on the come up. They were
a rising program. And earlier that season

352
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:36.880
they had in nineteen ninety two,
they had tied Oregon State, and Oregon

353
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.839
State was just a bad football team, so the fact that they tied them,

354
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:42.359
Arizona was like, what the hell
are we doing here? And then

355
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:48.839
they went on the road to Miami
and almost beat the Hurricanes. They lost

356
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.200
eight to seven. And then you
know, we had Lamont Levin on the

357
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.000
show today and he was actually talking
about that game and was talking about how

358
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.640
they went into that locker room after
was really lost in Miami and everyone was

359
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:08.079
crying, and then Brandon Sanders comes
in and tells everyone We're not losing another

360
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.759
game. And then Arizona went on
to win. I believe six in a

361
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:17.519
row right after that, including beating
number one Washington. And you know,

362
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:19.880
everyone I talked about Washington, how
they were going to beat Arizona. You

363
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.640
know, they were going to come
in and take care of business. And

364
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:29.079
then right before Arizona ran out of
the tunnel, Dick Tommy comes over to

365
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:36.799
the team inside the locker room and
says, let's kick their bleeping asses.

366
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.119
And next thing, you know,
all the guys get all riled up.

367
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.759
They run out onto the field and
Arizona takes care of business against Washington.

368
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.920
I know, I think Washington might
have been shorthanded, if I'm not mistaken.

369
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.039
There was something going on with their
quarterback right right, Mark Brunell started,

370
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:56.079
but he was not the starting quarterback
who was going into the game.

371
00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:03.640
God, I can't remember, but
there was a their starting quarterback. He

372
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.160
had had taken an illegal benefit or
something like that. He's done something.

373
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.880
Yeah, he got suspended. Yeah, so I remember, you know,

374
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.799
they were a little bit shorthanded.
But he's still the number one ranked team

375
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:22.000
in the country. They were,
they were the flagship program of the conference

376
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:25.960
at that time, and you know, beating Washington was such a big deal,

377
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:32.119
and that was kind of like the
the coming out party for Arizona's Desert

378
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:36.319
Swarm defense, not like specifically that
game, but just that season, that

379
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:40.640
stretch. Rob waldro Of, Teddy
Bruski, Brandon Sanders, all those guys.

380
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:45.079
That nineteen ninety two season was so
instrumental to the rise of Desert Swarm

381
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:47.519
as we know it. Well,
wow, you did homework? Yeah,

382
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:51.880
well good, yeah, Like that's
like an eight plus he had La montagu

383
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:57.000
I listened to you this morning,
going home, going home this morning.

384
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:02.079
Yeah, I see. The cool
thing is is, fortunately I was able

385
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:06.039
to talk to a guy who gave
me the answers to the test. That

386
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:08.599
always helps the other cube notes cool, cool, cool. So how do

387
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:11.079
you look into it? I mean, you've been doing this a little while

388
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.240
now, especially coming this team covering
a big game like this. How does

389
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:21.039
it feel for you? It's awesome, you know, and I think that

390
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:23.680
you know, the PAC twelve having
four teams rank in the AP top ten,

391
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:27.359
you know, add so much excitement
to this season. The PAC twelve

392
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:32.599
is so exciting and Arizona is going
to be facing a lot of talented teams,

393
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:33.599
a lot of highly ranked teams,
and this is one of them.

394
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.079
And you know, this team might
be a little bit different than some of

395
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:42.039
the others, with the exception of
maybe USC because man, Washington is so

396
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:47.599
good and everyone wants to talk about
their offense and Michael Pennox and all the

397
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:52.799
great receivers that they have, but
their defense is also really good too.

398
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:57.160
They have really solid edge rushers.
Their defensive line will certainly test Arizona's offensive

399
00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:03.279
line, and getting the ball out
quick is going to be a very important

400
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:08.640
thing this week. Whether it's Jaden
Dolora and his health in his ankle,

401
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:12.880
we'll see if he's healthy and ready
to go, or if it's Noah Fafita.

402
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:18.079
So the defense for Washington is really
good in the teens. That's crazy

403
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.000
about Washington is like they've scored one
hundred and ninety nine points in the first

404
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:27.640
four games of the season, and
one of those games they're playing against Michigan

405
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.440
State on the road. Now.
I know that, you know, Spartans

406
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.119
we're dealing with, you know,
all their issues with melt Tucker and and

407
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:40.640
having a lot of turmoil there.
But to go to East Landing and put

408
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:45.119
up that kind of performance and just
killing Michigan State, I think Washington State

409
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.079
has shown that they are one of
the better teams in the country. I

410
00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:52.400
thought that they were going to get
more first place votes for the AP Top

411
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.319
twenty five. I think they only
got one this week. But if they

412
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.039
continue to play at this level,
it would not shock me one bit if

413
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:04.240
we're talking about Washington and the CFP. So you brought up an interesting point.

414
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:10.640
You talked about getting the ball out
quick, which, as we've all

415
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:14.920
observed, that's not something as Jaden
Delord has been doing this year. You

416
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:17.920
know, I know, he only
threw four passes nor fa feed and dead.

417
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.119
But if that's if that's a key, you know how you know,

418
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:25.319
how is Jaden Delora going to fix
what he's been doing all season long?

419
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:29.680
Dude? That's gonna be the tricky
part about it. And you know,

420
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.519
Stanford, this is probably going to
be the worst defense they're facing all season

421
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:41.119
long, and pactwelve play and for
Arizona to not have the rhythm and the

422
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:47.599
timing against a team like a Stanford, that's that's a little bit concerning,

423
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:49.079
because now, what is it going
to be like when you go up against

424
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:55.400
Utah or Washington or you know,
I know USC's defense is a little wonky.

425
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:59.359
This season, but there's still a
much better decent than what Arizona's faced

426
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:03.799
this past We can I guess Stanford
Arizona's offensive line couldn't have done a better

427
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:08.720
job. I mean they gave they
gave so much time for Jaden Dolora.

428
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:14.880
He could have had a picnic and
wash the dishes. That's how much time

429
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:19.160
he had to throw. You're not
going to get that with Washington. And

430
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:25.839
I'm a little more critical of it
now because you know, like the offensive

431
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:30.720
line is better, the weapons around
you are more experienced, they're better.

432
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.680
You guys have all been in the
system now for a little while. The

433
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:38.319
offense is totally set up for Jaden
Dolora to win, but for some reason

434
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:45.319
he maybe gets out of assignment a
little bit and starts backing up too deep

435
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:49.880
into the pocket and risks, you
know, huge loss of yardage. There

436
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:55.160
are so many things that Jenny Delora
is doing that's just not I feel like,

437
00:29:55.400 --> 00:30:00.119
is not within his responsibilities. Now
that being staid, he's probably the

438
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:07.359
best playmaking quarterbacks they have, but
he's also a guy who's prone to turn

439
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.599
over the ball quite a bit.
So, yeah, if if Jaden Delora's

440
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.960
ankle is good, to go.
I think he's going to play on Saturday,

441
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:19.279
but you know what, it's going
to be very interesting if Noa Fafiza

442
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:26.039
gets thrown out there and all of
a sudden arizon his offense starts to show

443
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.319
life in the first quarter and starts
to get into a rhythm and get into

444
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:34.759
a flow, and consistently over the
course an entire game, they're actually in

445
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:40.799
sync and it doesn't feel like everything
is being forced. And if that turns

446
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:45.160
into the case on Saturday and jet
Fishing to be put in a very tough

447
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:49.400
position, because yes, no Fafiza
is the future, but if he's showing

448
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:55.799
you that, yeah he's moving the
ball, then maybe you look to make

449
00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.119
a decision moving forward and put Noah
in at the guy. I think Jayden

450
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:06.119
Dolor is capable, But again I
look at what I saw on Saturday,

451
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:11.720
and in sixteen plays, the only
two negative yardage plays for nolaf Afizza were

452
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:15.640
the kneel downs at the end of
the game to steal the win. Sather,

453
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.359
than that, they're getting fifteen yard
games, sixteen yard games, nine

454
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:23.279
yard runs. There are no negative
plays when nelfa pizzas at quarterback. So

455
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:27.759
that's that's something to pay attention to
if he's the guy on Saturday. So

456
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:32.640
the quarterback was Billy Joe Hobert.
Oh there it is. Yeah, that's

457
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:36.640
just for that. So justin I
want you to put on your columnists hat

458
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:40.440
now and and I'm gonna ask you
this question. So through four games,

459
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:45.279
through four games and the games they
played against the opponents they've played, what's

460
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:52.559
your assessment of this team? I
think that the offense is almost like a

461
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:59.200
like a Ferrari right now. The
offensive line is playing so well. Kenna

462
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:01.920
McLaughlin at tight end is improving.
We got you know, the Arizona has

463
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:07.799
t mac Jacob Cowing, Montan Aelimonis
Craig is getting better. Running backs are

464
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:12.079
versatile, you know, Michael Wiley
goes down, he saw what Jonah Coleman

465
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:16.160
can do. So the offense is, like I said, it's almost like

466
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:21.799
a Ferrari. But it just depends
on the kind of guy who's who's driving

467
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:25.519
it. And Jayden Dolora has been
a little too reckless driving the Ferrari from

468
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:31.480
time to time. Were show Afita, you feel very you feel very confident

469
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:35.279
that you're going to give him the
keys the Ferrari, and he's not gonna

470
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:39.759
return it with a couple of scratches
on the rims or the door. You

471
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:45.759
know, I think the offense a
lot better, and I think the defense

472
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:49.599
has been so much better than we
all thought it was going to be.

473
00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:52.680
And they've been put in some very
tough situations this season on the road,

474
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:58.200
you know, first with Mississippi State, yet all these you know, turnovers

475
00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:04.480
with with Jaden Laura, and then
on the road against Stanford, you know,

476
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.000
the offense kind of struggled to get
into a rhythm, and then what

477
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:12.079
was the common denominator. It was
the defense stepping up, getting tackles for

478
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.359
loss, putting the offense in a
position to keep them in the game.

479
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:21.400
So I think the defense has been
so much better than we all thought it

480
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:23.440
was going to be, especially those
those guys in that front six with the

481
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:29.000
defensive line and also linebackers like a
Jacob Manu who leaves the Pac twelve in

482
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:34.039
tackles. We're starting to see now
the blueprint. You know, Arizona wanted

483
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:37.160
to get all these bodies on defense
and get a good rotation going so that

484
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:40.440
way the linebackers can go to work, and they have been able to go

485
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:45.960
to work and Arizona's defense. While
they don't have any interceptions this season,

486
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:49.359
which is kind of concerning, I
think they've been really good at stopping the

487
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.440
run and also not allowing a lot
of big plays. So you talk about

488
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:58.279
this team offensive that's been for our
actually more like a tesla that needs to

489
00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:02.279
get charged in Wilcox because it can't
it can't move. Yet it hasn't really

490
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:06.319
got any Really, we haven't seen
the offense that we all thought we would

491
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:10.960
and and I'm not sure we will
given the circumstances. Are you saying that

492
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:17.199
Arizona's head coach is Elon Fish or
Jed must you pick? You pick him?

493
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:23.280
We'll write this state together on Fish? Well it, we'll write this

494
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:27.880
together. But Steve, you're right, you know, because I think that

495
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:30.360
with what we saw last season,
you know, being the sixth best passing

496
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:36.760
offense in the in the country,
and then everyone is coming back like,

497
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:40.360
man, this offense can be really, really freaking good. Now. Granted,

498
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:45.199
tacksball was really good this year offensively, so you know, there are

499
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:50.039
so many good units on that side
of the ball. But again, the

500
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:54.719
slow starts, that's what's the most
concerning for me, is the slow starts

501
00:34:55.239 --> 00:35:00.840
the turnovers against Mississippi State. If
Arizona, if they fixed those up,

502
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:05.360
I don't think we'd be having this
conversation. We'd be talking about Arizona being

503
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.639
four and no going into this game
against Washington and having a chance to win,

504
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:13.119
because after what I saw last week, I don't see you know,

505
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:16.519
it's gonna It's gonna something very unusual
has to happen for Arizona to win this

506
00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:21.079
game. What I saw last week, I'm talking about what I've seen Washington

507
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:23.199
do and then what I saw what
I've seen Arizona do. I you know,

508
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:27.519
I say, I only think they
could. The only chance they have

509
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.039
to win is because they're playing.
But you know, if Washington just comes

510
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:32.639
in and does what it does,
I don't think Arizona has gone much of

511
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:37.760
a shot. No, and see
that. The thing is Stanford. You

512
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:43.360
know, they lost the Sacramento State. They also got boat raced by USC.

513
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:50.960
They beat Hawaii, but Hawaii is
probably the most laughable team in FBS

514
00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:55.119
right now, like they are so
bad, And for Arizona to kind of

515
00:35:55.159 --> 00:36:01.239
look like that and barely squeak one
out against a very very bad Stanford team,

516
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:07.519
it would not shock me one bit
if we see Arizona just get absolutely

517
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:14.440
killed. But you know what,
for some reason, I have a weird

518
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:20.119
feeling that Arizona might have some tricks
up its sleeves. Again, We'll figure

519
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:23.360
out what's going on at quarterback.
We'll see what happens there. But who

520
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:27.480
knows, You never know. I
thought USC was going to go in and

521
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:32.199
beat ASU by seven touchdowns last weekend, and the Sun Devils, to their

522
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:37.599
credit, they stepped up and made
it an interesting game. Maybe Arizona can

523
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:43.840
do something like that against Washington.
But this Huskies team at this is this

524
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:46.440
is one of the best in college
football. This is a very tall task

525
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:51.679
for Jet Fish, and one could
make the case this is arguably the biggest

526
00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:54.840
home game of the jet Fish era. So times, very very true,

527
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:59.920
very true. Justin, thank you
very much. Just get some sleep,

528
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:04.360
yeah, get a nap or two
before the game on Saturday. Thank you,

529
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:08.239
guys. I always appreciate the time
man Justin Screws like him. Yeah

530
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:09.920
you know what I mean. Yeah, I mean, you know he's got

531
00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:14.639
a good a good sense of you
know, he's seen what we're seeing,

532
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:17.000
right, Yeah. Yeah. I
don't know what the Ferrari though, because

533
00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:20.559
if it is and he's it needs
to go to the shop. Well,

534
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:22.320
what would he saying? It's a
nice car, but the person driving here

535
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:27.320
just driving over the debts. I
use that analogy with Sean and he had

536
00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:30.280
a he had a Ferrari and he
drove it like a prius. Yeah,

537
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:31.880
I mean that. And that's the
issue, is that you got a guy

538
00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:37.000
who's just not not doing a good
job maneuvering with it. And so that's

539
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:40.400
sort of a good analogy. So
so so if that's the case, don't

540
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:46.039
you change the better driver or a
different driver just to see Yeah, we'll

541
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:49.679
see. Okay, all right,
we take our break, will take your

breaking news the top of the hours.

544
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:57.559

Arizona men's basketball fan, you know it's

Now take a look back at the Ludolson

546
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:02.960
era. In my new book,
Lessons from Loot, it was a labor

547
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:07.079
of love through the eyes of twenty
five former players, coaches, and friends

548
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:09.920
to give insight to the coach and
the man who led them, competed against

549
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:14.840
them, and inspired them twenty five
chapters for his twenty five years as Arizona's

550
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:17.840
beloved coach. Lessons from Loot is
an insight to how he built the program

Hey, welcome back to on the
Ball. I'm Steve, you're Jay.

609
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:44.840
This is some right in the ball

to call five two O foe seventy four

611
00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:51.559
forty. We'd appreciate your call.
I'm I've been a little fired up about

612
00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:57.320
this game Saturday, partly because you
know it. You know, we feel

613
00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:00.760
like we've learned a lot about this
team, you know, and the fact

614
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:05.400
that they're not playing as well as
you expected them. But you know,

615
00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:07.360
now they're up against your backs against
the wall, so to speak, you

616
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.039
know, playing a team that should
come in here just beat the hell out

617
00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:15.559
of them. But interested to see
how they handle that. Do they come

618
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:21.159
out and play well, play better, you know, stay with them.

619
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:23.239
I think what you know, what
you saw as you do to you against

620
00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:28.639
USC on Saturday, gives you a
feeling like maybe they can. I still

621
00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:31.920
don't think they're gonna win, or
I certainly like to see them play well

622
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:36.599
and not get beat you know,
you know, fifty two to twenty eight

623
00:43:36.679 --> 00:43:40.000
or something, like that. Yeah, I don't see it that way.

624
00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:44.039
I don't see it your way.
I can understand why you see it that

625
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:47.880
way, because they ever so you
can never look at Arizona say this is

626
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:51.480
this team, because they're never the
team that you think they are. Right

627
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:55.400
and you know this better than me
because you've lived it every chance you say

628
00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:59.679
they're out to get in, every
time you say they're out to get in.

629
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:01.480
Last week, they should have killed
Stanford, honestly, well, they

630
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:05.719
should have beat him by more,
should have handled and they did. But

631
00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:08.679
that's that's kind of like the they're
the they're the Dick Tomy of college football

632
00:44:08.760 --> 00:44:14.159
or Arazon football be when he talks
to the media, he was opposite of

633
00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:16.960
what he should be right exactly,
Well again, you know, I mean

634
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:22.320
you know he's Bray brought it up. You know yesterday the week before they

635
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:24.119
went and should have beat number one
in Miami and their place. Yeah,

636
00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:29.719
they tied Oregon State. Yeah,
it's just weird how it happens. We

637
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:31.440
talked about this when they beat Oregon
here twenty and fourteen ish, I think

638
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:36.760
fourteen. They lost the previous week
to to who did they lose to?

639
00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:39.559
Watching the state team, they should
have never lost, right, you know,

640
00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:44.599
and so it's it's like you don't
know what. And that's what I

641
00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:47.039
like about this game. Though I
don't think Arizona's got a shot in hell,

642
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:52.199
they have enough of a shot for
me to be interested in going to

643
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:54.440
see this. I have a shot. I get it. I get it

644
00:44:54.440 --> 00:45:00.440
because it's it's unexplainable. Look,
and these games are fun, whether you

645
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:01.920
know you think you're gonna get your
ass kicked or not to bring a top

646
00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:06.039
ten team, you know, to
Arizona Stadium. It's a night game,

647
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:07.800
which is great for it. I
love the night game. I mean,

648
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:12.360
I love the day games too,
but a night game Washington in town,

649
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:16.800
the weather's gonna probably be pretty decent. That's fun as hell. You know.

650
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:21.639
I'm really looking looking forward to it. And apparently they're gonna sell out

651
00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:23.559
or be close to it. Well
yeah, well Jedi'll tell us more about

652
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:28.960
that on Thursday. But you know, I'm looking forward to, you know,

653
00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:34.880
a big game, you know,
because previous previous big games have not

654
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:37.079
really been a big game because you
knew they were getting their ass kicked.

655
00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:42.320
This time, you think they are, but something weird can happen, and

656
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:45.119
you know, you know that at
least Jed's gonna put a team on the

657
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:49.440
field that's gonna try and give themselves
a chance. Yeah, you know.

658
00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:52.559
And then this whole question Markham of
the quarterback, it makes it even more

659
00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:54.400
intrigued. Let me say something that
I probably shouldn't say, but I think

660
00:45:54.440 --> 00:46:00.559
that the FAFITA gives them a better
chance. He might, but I don't

661
00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:02.599
know that we know that. Well, that's the thing I'm not. I'm

662
00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:06.920
not going out on a limb here
because he might give them a better chance.

663
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:10.679
But he could get out there and
yeah, well you wouldn't expect that

664
00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:15.239
he would freak out. Sure he
could, sure, you know. But

665
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:20.760
let's let's let's assume for a second
that Justin's analysis is correct where they says

666
00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:22.960
they're gonna get after the quarterback.
Right, he's not gonna have very much.

667
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:27.559
Wouldn't you like your chances a little
bit better? With computer? Feel

668
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:29.920
like he got you know, in
the time, he got them all out,

669
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:32.760
and that, I mean, that
is flat. The one thing,

670
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:38.480
the one thing cannot noticeable. Did
you go back last night and watch then't

671
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:42.000
haven't gone back? Do you don't
do your homework? I don't do my

672
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:45.159
homework. Okay, No, And
I was just thinking about the energy that

673
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:47.840
they came with and that his to
me, he's just trying to do too

674
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:52.039
much and for whatever reason, Yes, I don't know, well that that's

675
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:54.440
exactly. It's it's like, there
may be that there, but I think

676
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:57.639
I got something better over here than
the next thing. You know, he's

677
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:00.320
got nothing, then he's got nothing
right, you know, try trying to

678
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:05.119
trying to do too much, as
they say, And he's been that guy,

679
00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:08.199
you know. And the thing is
that other times it showed its face,

680
00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:12.079
is that he's been where he sees
the guy and he makes the throw

681
00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:14.800
that he shouldn't make. This time, he wasn't even making the throw.

682
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:17.039
Yeah, he was just running around. Yeah. And let's say this.

683
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:23.159
I didn't watch the game like with
the surgeon's eye, but maybe Stanford played

684
00:47:23.159 --> 00:47:27.440
out of their mind and maybe they
did. And again, your teams do

685
00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:30.639
that, and maybe they were really
upset at the fact that they got beat

686
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:32.239
by Sacramento. I was just going
to go there because in my story I

687
00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:36.400
had this one line, did Stamford
lose it or did Arizona win it?

688
00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:39.360
Right? They missed two field goals? Yes they did. Yeah, they

689
00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:45.920
I'm sure they walked away thinking their
storyline is toty different storyline, story different.

690
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:47.639
Yeah, how do we hit those
two? They win the game,

691
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:51.039
He win the game, and they
hit one, they win the game.

692
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:52.960
Yeah. Yeah, it was just
like the Mississippi State game. You play

693
00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:57.320
better, you win the game.
The thing is, you didn't know because

694
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:00.800
what they didn't turn it over,
right, Stanford had no over you know

695
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:04.440
what I mean. They played a
really good game that they could have won.

696
00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:07.280
Sure, and maybe then you look
at it always, Okay, Stanford

697
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:12.400
gave you their best shot at their
place, and you still won the game

698
00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:15.760
and to their credit, and that's
good. That's a good play. So

699
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:20.159
I don't know, it's just there
are a lot of I think, just

700
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:25.480
a lot of uh, we just
don't know what we're gonna see on Saturday.

701
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:30.800
I do think it's really important though, for Arizona to not get off

702
00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:35.960
to the slow start that they've gotten
off to every game this year so far.

703
00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:38.039
They got to get out there and
you know, even if they scored

704
00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:43.280
two touchdowns and give up two touchdowns, just to get the offense in some

705
00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:45.719
sort of a rhythm early, because
if they go, you know, no

706
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:49.280
score in the first quarter, they're
gonna be down twenty one to nothing,

707
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.159
you know, in the second quarter. By that time, you know,

708
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:54.400
the fans they're gone, they're gone, They're done. Yeah. You know

709
00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:59.079
another thing, and I'll just say
I mentioned it in our in our podcast

710
00:48:59.159 --> 00:49:04.280
post last night. You know Arizona
fans are notorious for showing up eventually.

711
00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:07.000
Yeah right, yeah, they eventually
get there. The place will be full

712
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:10.440
and in the middle of the first
quarter. But he's play talk about how

713
00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:14.320
important it is for this for this
game, and be full at game time.

714
00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:17.239
Get out You're right, you're wishing
to get you get out there,

715
00:49:17.599 --> 00:49:22.320
because it's not that it's not that
type of crowds. They'll take their time

716
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:24.239
to get in and then rush to
get the heck out. Get the hell

717
00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:27.119
out there. Yeah, come on, get out there, Come to my

718
00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:30.360
tailgate and then we'll go all go
into the same kombay. I'll get you

719
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:34.360
a chicken legs you get to the
game. Yeah, that'll be good.

720
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:36.920
That'd be nice to see, actually, because every time you take the pictures

721
00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:40.000
when they're doing the flags and the
thing, the stadium's three quarters full.

722
00:49:40.039 --> 00:49:43.679
If that well, and I still
hate the way the band walks on the

723
00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:46.960
field, if maybe the band would
do something give people a reason to get

724
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:50.360
there. Well, in fact,
you wish you'd get the band guy here.

725
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:52.880
Well we talk about this and the
Zoo people, right, Zoo people

726
00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:59.679
do something, damn game, Maybe
do that tomorrow, be high. Look

727
00:49:59.679 --> 00:50:02.400
at you, Luke. All of
a sudden you turn into Luke. Never

728
00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:07.880
cuss. I've been I've been railing
on this for twenty years. I know,

729
00:50:08.119 --> 00:50:10.320
well, you got the notchos fixed. There's that. Well, I

730
00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:14.599
know you've been touched to the wrong
people. Yeah, I have been.

731
00:50:14.639 --> 00:50:16.639
I have been. I do remember
bringing it up to I think it was

732
00:50:17.719 --> 00:50:22.719
I brought it up to James Francis
when James was and he said, it

733
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:27.400
has a lot to do with the
timing of what goes on pre game.

734
00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:30.760
What's in terms of when the team
goes on the field, off the field,

735
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:34.760
how much time they've got in between
all that kind of stuff. I'm

736
00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:37.559
like, fix it for the band, do you mean? Yeah, for

737
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:39.199
the for the for the band to
have time to do some sort of a

738
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:42.800
thing. I'm like, fix that. You can fix that. You can

739
00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:45.559
tell Jess, hey, Jed,
get off the field one minute sooner.

740
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:49.480
Right, We're gonna do a one
minute you know, band uh entrance.

741
00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:53.760
I don't think that that's not that
hard. It's not it's not that hard.

742
00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:58.559
Well maybe, but it doesn't seem
like I don't know, it doesn't

743
00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:00.639
seem that hard to me. I'll
know. I'm it up to Jed.

744
00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:02.559
Jed will get it done if he
thinks it's important. Okay, yeah,

745
00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:07.119
Jed. One last question you Jay
Jet can you get can you do something

746
00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:12.519
to get the band to do some
kind of entrance when they come on the

747
00:51:12.559 --> 00:51:15.800
field. That'll get the fans fired
up, that'll get the fans there early.

748
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:21.800
It's an I saw the Wisconsin one
in person. Yeah, I got

749
00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:23.960
goosebumps. This is more of us. Can I get you on the side

750
00:51:24.039 --> 00:51:29.280
question? Talk to you real quick
about something. I got goosebumps watching the

751
00:51:29.280 --> 00:51:32.519
Wisconsin band to feel back with Maca
Vicstein up there. I mean, I

752
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:36.280
got chills. Yeah, I've seen
I've seen the video of those things.

753
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:38.280
You know. Yeah, I got
chills watching that. And I've and I've

754
00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:43.400
watched the Ohio State Band entrance over
and over on YouTube, thinking God,

755
00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:46.920
if everyone could just do something like
that, people would show up, people

756
00:51:46.920 --> 00:51:51.159
would get there early. Well,
we'll just bring the grambling band back.

757
00:51:51.639 --> 00:51:54.920
Well, I don't think we can
do that. We don't have a lot

758
00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:59.079
of people stayed for they don't have
the same team colors, a lot of

759
00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:02.000
still a lot of people stay for
that band. Okay, cool, good,

760
00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:06.000

come back. You're gonna you're gonna
