You know, he was in that 35 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.960 breakfast club that I work with. I'm sure he had fun, and he 36 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.319 said he had fun and he loves to do it. He says, you 37 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:23.759 need to take some more days off.

Well, I do appreciate him because he d worked the board. 42 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.919 I have no idea what the board is.

Did you put it up on it's like it's on it's 47 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.879 on heart website, It's on the I heart website. I did. I 48 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.520 did not get a chance to read it on all the all the uh. 49 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.080 It was entertaining and yet frustrating all of the same. It was pretty funny. 50 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:15.439 It was I gotta crack I cracked up a lot anyway. But I'm 51 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.360 glad to be back Steve, you know, with what happened over the weekend. 52 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.400 Uh, you know, I wish I'd been here yesterday so we could 53 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:24.240 break it down. But I mean we could get some of that. And 54 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.080 you watch a game, right, yes, So let me say this. 55 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.919 I tried to say this yesterday that I learned more yes in Saturday's game than 56 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:36.639 I did the week before, given the circumstances. And I went to the 57 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.520 press conference yesterday and I wanted to ask this question and my goal thursday to 58 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:46.039 shout to Jet again and and and the kid justin asking questions about Jim Laura, 59 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.319 right, I wanted to phrase it a different way. It was kind 60 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.280 of like, uh, what's your name last night? Alan? Right? 61 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.599 Yeah? You get what you get. You get a gunslinger, You got 62 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:58.400 a guy who can make plays, and you got a guy who kind of 63 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.039 screw up every now and a get well and that and that's the thing. 64 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.719 That's the realization I think that that we came to this week with with what 65 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.439 with Jad, with what what Jed said, he said, that's who he 66 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.120 is, that's who he's gonna be. Exactly. Now, what you hope 67 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.399 is that way more often than not, he's not the guy saw in the 68 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.720 first quarter. That's a scary part, Jay, right. I mean, 69 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.560 if you're gonna live like that, you should die. Like how how nervous 70 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.319 do you be every time? Can you be when he's doing something? You 71 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.480 know, after the first quarter, I was a nervous the rest of the 72 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:30.839 game. Every time I went back to pass, I thought, you know, 73 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.879 he was gonna throw another pick, and then he had a great game. 74 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.879 Now then he throws that pick that your thought ended the game. In 75 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.920 the fourth quarter, defense steps up, gets a three and out, they 76 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.560 go back, they tie the game. So yeah, what I think, 77 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.000 what I think I learned, what I think I know is that Arizone's a 78 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:53.480 pretty good team. They can play, but they can also you know, 79 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.240 if he goes off and throws four interceptions again against you TEP, they could 80 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.560 lose this time. Well, well it's gonna be the better teams Colorado, 81 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.920 or you go do that against Stanford? Do you go do that against any 82 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:08.879 packed any pac twelf team, you could lose. You know, they couldn't. 83 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.639 And the thing of it is is that they could have won that game. 84 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.680 They could have won it. Surprisingly, right if if, if, 85 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.879 if a team act doesn't you know, get you know, step out about. 86 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.399 I mean he got you know, he was hopping over. The guy 87 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.120 steps out about, he goes into score. They win the game. So 88 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.560 in spite of all that, you know, they had a chance to win. 89 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.000 And I'm like, okay, so you know, I mean the conversation 90 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.360 is they're good enough to they were good enough to win a game like that. 91 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.600 They could have won that game in a tough situation. They put themselves 92 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.079 in in a in a deep hole with what they did in the first quarter. 93 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.920 They was they still had a chance to win that game. But if 94 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.879 they keep digging that hole, they're gonna be times they can't climb out of 95 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.160 it. Well, that's the problem. Every game is gonna be different, 96 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.160 right, I say this, Every game is a season. Uh and you 97 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.240 you have you can't this is obvious. You can't have that happened, and 98 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:04.040 it's not gonna happen. Rookie last year Washington State. You're thinking, Okay, 99 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.319 they're gonna pull that off. Bad Jaden as you call it, bad 100 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.199 Ja shows up and there's a chance, maybe a twenty five thirty percent chance 101 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.480 that bad Jayden shows up for any game here and what what you know? 102 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:21.079 I listened to Jed's press conference from yesterday. What's clear to me is that 103 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.920 he'll he'll, He's gonna go down believing that Jade Delord gives him their best 104 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:32.240 chance to win right right, that his ceiling is way higher than North Fafitus. 105 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:38.319 His his floor might be lower than No Fas, but his ceiling is 106 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:44.759 so much higher that he's willing to risk all that risk the floor to have 107 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:49.879 that ceiling. Because if Jade plays a flawless game, you can imagine that 108 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:55.040 they can beat us. They can beat Washington, they can beat Oregon. 109 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.279 But if he plays like he did in the first quarter against against Southern, 110 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.360 against Fissippi State, they can lose by fifty to They can lose by fifty. 111 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:09.680 Watch they can lose by fifty to Oregon. So I think it sounds 112 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:15.120 to me like Jed is decided. I'm gone with him regardless. Let's his 113 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.399 writer died. I was thinking that when less listen to him yesterday, Let's 114 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.600 his writer died because he has no choice. Maybe he does have a choice 115 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:25.439 him, but he's he's let me say this is who posted this? Maybe 116 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:31.759 Brian Peterson on Twitter. Kerr and Jaden pictures. They're the same people you 117 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:36.160 live in, isn't it? So Yeah, Jo Tommy Lloyd Rhode Or died 118 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:43.040 with Kerr and we eventually know what happened there. And and but you and 119 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.000 I was this is the question I would ask and maybe ask again and no, 120 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.120 no disrespected, justin you know what you get. You know what you're 121 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:56.120 getting from Jason Jadeja. He he's a guy who loses confidence, right, 122 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.279 which is a good thing, right and a bad thing right. Well again, 123 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.120 you know, and and I know it's a it's a it's kind of 124 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:09.160 an over over the top comparison. But I think Sami legit comparison. How 125 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.920 we talked about bred five, right, that bred five would do the stupidest 126 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.439 things, but he did so many spectacular things. You couldn't sit that on 127 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.639 the bed. Sure. No, last night's Aland game was exactly that. 128 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.560 Three interceptions. You think this guy's good, this guy's really good, and 129 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.680 didn't get you into field goal range to tie the game, all right, 130 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.240 and you think, okay, he's back again. And then yeah, so 131 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.600 I like, I guess, I guess what what? You know? What 132 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:41.200 fans are gonna have to do, I think is understand the right that understand 133 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.399 that this is who he is. That there's gonna be getting, you know, 134 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.759 times that you want to pull your hair out and go, what the 135 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:54.840 hell is going on? But that's gonna either be offset or even over ridden 136 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.440 by the times that he's spectacular, because he was great over the last three 137 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.919 quarters. Jay, here's the problem though. The schedule, The schedule after 138 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.399 this week gets tough. Right after this we get stuck. There's eight pack, 139 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.919 twelve teams in the eight people. So if you get normal good Jaden 140 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.399 this weekend, you really don't need normal good. You need him the rest 141 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.600 of the year. Not if Andrew Butts you need him. Yeah, and 142 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.080 look, and you gotta imagine that in spite of the fact that Jed is 143 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:31.519 one hundred percent behind him, and to a degree I thought in the press 144 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.879 conferences they really overprotected him saying that that those those throws weren't that bad. 145 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:41.080 Yes they were, see see, And I don't I don't recall them being 146 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.360 bad because maybe I didn't pay attention. You probably paid attention more to it. 147 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.559 A lot of them tip to ball. You probably know more about that 148 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.360 than I do. But they're probably in tough spots. They're probably put in 149 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.320 tough spots. But that's what he When you're a dude who has confidence and 150 00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.360 you think you can walk on water and and that's kind of too much, 151 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.600 but think you can do anything, you do that. Yeah, you do 152 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:09.240 that, and plays no, I agree. I mean what I saw was 153 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.120 that the first interception, he was late, the tight end was open. 154 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:15.960 He threw it too late. The guy had time to get there. Jed 155 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.120 mentioned something about somebody ran a route and the guy who was defending him was 156 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.759 in the neighborhood and made the play and the ball ricochets and somebody catch it. 157 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.440 You know, normally that Paul maybe hits the ground right. The one 158 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.679 he threw for the corner of the cornerback, you know, made a great 159 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.080 guy. He threw it. You know, his receiver was between two guys, 160 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.159 he was not open, and he threw it. And and yes, 161 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.879 the guy did the guy make a great play, He absolutely did. But 162 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:45.440 he never should have made that throw because because the guy, you know, 163 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.600 his receiver had a guy on each side of him. If he'd have pulled 164 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.360 that down, that would have been a spectacular play. You can't put yourself 165 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.960 in a position where guy's got to make this spectacular play or it's going to 166 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.960 be a turnover. You can't do. That's a smart dude. He's not 167 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.399 gonna he's not gonna rug on his quarterback because he needs his quarter He needs 168 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.799 his quarterback. He wants him to have confidence. Yeah, and so that's 169 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:13.519 that's just what I'm Arizona fan, I'm talking to you.

Hey, welcome back to On the Ball here on 277 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:59.240 Fox fourteen fifty Chickens off now wonderful. We have Adam Queen from Ange Desertsworm 278 00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:02.920 dot com. Adam, how are you doing? I'm good? How are 279 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:04.400 you guys? We're doing? Fight? Hey, we were just talking about 280 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:08.400 the football team and I learned more about this team this last weekend than I 281 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.279 did the first week, and it's pretty pretty favorable in my mind, what 282 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:17.680 about you? Yeah, I agree, Obviously there's not a lot you learn 283 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.599 from beating NAU other than Arizona taking care of business the way they were supposed 284 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:23.720 to and he was a little closer than the first half and people would like 285 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:27.240 but you know, eventually, Arizona's talent was supposed to win the day and 286 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:33.519 it did pretty comfortably, whereas going to Mississippi State game, Arizona wasn't supposed 287 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.000 to win by the oddsmakers standards. And obviously Arizona didn't play a great game, 288 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:41.799 at least offensively. Jaye and Delora had you know, his classic Jadeen 289 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.920 had some of his worst moments and also some of his best. But through 290 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.960 it all, Arizona's defense played well enough to give him a chance to win. 291 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.680 The offense made some plays late to put a position to win. They 292 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:53.839 didn't get it done ultimately. But yeah, I feel like, if you 293 00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:59.000 know, if you were pretty optimistic about Arizona, nothing happened over Mississippi State 294 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.640 game that should changed that, right, Like they looked pretty good in that 295 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:04.680 loss. I agree. Yeah, you know, I was reading your call 296 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:10.160 him yesterday and you know you talked about how yet clearly Arizona is showing some 297 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:14.400 progress, but also clearly showing that that this is you know, they still 298 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:15.599 got some stuff that they got to do, and you know, you can't 299 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.440 make the mistakes that you made they made and win a game like that, 300 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:23.240 even though they still had a chance to the very end to win that game. 301 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:29.039 You know, I mean, we're sitting here talking about what we'd call 302 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:32.559 him bad Jayden, and you know, bad Jayden shows up and he does 303 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:34.400 what he did in the first in the first quarter. He showed up at 304 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.759 times even in the NAU game. The classic one from last year was the 305 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:44.680 Washington State game where he just does bad things. You know. I mean 306 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:47.799 we're talking about the fact that Arizona fans may just have to deal with that, 307 00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:52.400 that that's who he is. You're any thoughts on that? I think, 308 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.839 I mean that's Shaden Delore, right, we from all last season and 309 00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.920 you know, for all he had a few really bad games last season, 310 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:02.759 for the most part, he was very good and certainly an upgrade Overla Arizon 311 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:07.559 had in recent years. I don't think you accept you know, five turnovers 312 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.279 or you know, the interceptions like he had against Mississippi State. But at 313 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:14.559 the same time, you understand that that's not going to happen every single game 314 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.640 that Mississippi State has wanted better to evens I'll face and I know je fishing 315 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.200 as press turns talking about maybe you know their routes weren't run correctly or some 316 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.680 great place by Missippi States. They're linebackers, and yes, there's there's going 317 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:27.480 to be said for the fact that falls can be bad at away. You 318 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:30.799 can throw into coverage and they fall harmlessly and complete. Not every single bet. 319 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.519 You know, bad red turns into a deflection that's picked off by a 320 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:38.319 linebacker, So there might have been some bad luck involved there. But I 321 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:41.839 think you mean, Jenny Lore is more good than bad, but his bad 322 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:45.359 is spectacularly bad, like we saw against Misissippi State. But you know, 323 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.559 you could argue that they lost the game because of Delora, but at the 324 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.839 same time, you could make the case that they were in the game because 325 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.599 of Delores. So you know, it's a little bit a Jecklin Hyde situation. 326 00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.000 But I think he's gonna be good farm more than he's gonna be bad 327 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.960 at and we saw that last season and I imagine we'll see that this season. 328 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.640 So hopefully he settles down a little bit. Hopefully what Arizona saw on 329 00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.039 Saturday was a case of playing just a very good defense that has experienced linebackers. 330 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.200 Maybe got a couple of bounces, but you know, I wouldn't even 331 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.039 think about benching Delorer. I wouldn't even think about going in another direction. 332 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:19.839 We know what he can do. We saw that last season, and I 333 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.400 imagine it's gonna be a lot more good Jadean than bad jade and the rest 334 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.240 of the season. Okay, so let's move on from him, because we've 335 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.960 already solved his problems, right, So what else did you like about the 336 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.440 you know, the team of the receivers and running backs, defense, of 337 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.519 course, defense, linebacker. Yeah right, it would have to be. 338 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:40.880 And it's only two games, and Arizona's defense, I remember last season was 339 00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.880 pretty good against San Diego's State, and there are reasonable questions of how good 340 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.960 missip State's offense is given the change in systems and what happened with the late 341 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.279 Mike Leach. But yeah, the defense putting up a fight. No one 342 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.200 was expecting them or even requiring them to be really really good. They don't 343 00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.759 have to be a top half of the PAC twelve in defense or Arizona to 344 00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.720 be bold team, they just have to be average in LBA decent, keep 345 00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:06.279 the team in the game, and give the offense a chance to do what 346 00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.599 it has proven it can do. And they didn't have the last couple of 347 00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.400 the first two games. So you know, it's one thing to against, 348 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.839 like a really good offense when they play USC when they play Washington, I 349 00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:21.039 wouldn't expect that. But if they're facing league average offenses and holding them to 350 00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:25.920 onwenty four points in regulation or whatever it may be, that boats pretty well 351 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:27.359 for them the rest of the season. So yeah, the defense has been 352 00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:30.960 very good, about as good as one could have hoped, I think, 353 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:33.920 up to this point, with a chance to improve a little bit. But 354 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.839 the running backs, I think the versatili they have in that room. It 355 00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.119 wasn't a great running game against Mississippi State, but I know that Missisesate was 356 00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.119 trying to load the box and make airs on a throw. But Michael Whytt 357 00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:47.200 looks every bit the guy who was last season. Jonah Coleman looks even better. 358 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:49.119 B D. Luke, EJ. Williams like that is a really good 359 00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:52.519 rotation that Arizona has in the backfield too, So you know, there's a 360 00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.079 lot to like a lot of things that happened with the first two weeks and 361 00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:57.880 even last sire to make you think they're in pretty good shape. But I 362 00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:00.119 think it does start with a defense. It's like you said, you know, 363 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:04.720 I think as the game went on on Saturday, it's I felt I 364 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:08.960 felt a little more like a confidence about the defense that they could get a 365 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.039 stop. Like you when you threw that that pick in the fourth quarter, 366 00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:15.559 you know, four minutes left or whatever whatever time was. They thought they're 367 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.160 still four minutes left, Arizona, can you know they could get a three 368 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:21.920 and out and get the ball back. And I actually thought they might get 369 00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:23.599 a three and out, And then they did, and they got the ball 370 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.400 back, went down and scored. We there, yeah, and we haven't 371 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:32.440 had that in a long time, no how many times last season was And 372 00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:34.640 I think like the Cal game, for example, where Arizona just needed a 373 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:37.480 stop in the second half and they couldn't get it. You know, when 374 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:40.680 a team, whether they were going to run the ball down their throats or 375 00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:44.039 just find success through the air, whatever defense or offenses wanted to do, 376 00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:45.359 they pretty much got it done. Even the a SU game to end the 377 00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:49.039 season, the Arizona got the turnovers, gave it back and like the first 378 00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.880 turnover the sacks fumble that happened in the red zone O case, he was 379 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.240 marching down the field to possibly take the lead there. So the defense made 380 00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.279 a couple of plays late, got turnovers, but held on. This was 381 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.920 different. This was a defense needing to get a stop and doing exactly that. 382 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.559 When it'd be easy to be dejected, you know, they've had a 383 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.680 good game, they've played well, and here it goes the offense turning the 384 00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:11.720 ball over again and sending them back onto the field. But they went out 385 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.119 there with a confidence. They went out there with a plan and said, 386 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.079 probably think they could get that stop and get the offense the ball back, 387 00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:19.640 And obviously they got to stop, got the offense the ball back, and 388 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:22.880 the offense when and scored the tying field goals. So yeah, I feel 389 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.960 like there's a level of confidence in that defense that hasn't been there before, 390 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.039 probably, you know, definitely from a fan perspective, from a media perspective, 391 00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:33.799 but imagine from the defensive perspective too that hey, they're getting those stops 392 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.720 when they need to that the offense can put them a bad situation, and 393 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.799 it doesn't mean there's gonna be a seven eight nine play drives in a touchdown 394 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:44.480 that you know what they're on the field and they can make plays too. 395 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.880 You will to assume that you're gonna give credit to Nansen, maybe better players, 396 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.359 maybe the endem understanding the scheme better, all of the above, or 397 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.680 what it has to be all of the above. Like, there's reasonable questions 398 00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.640 about Johnny Nanson and his abilities to be a defensive courier are very play color. 399 00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.319 But similar to Jet Fish in his first season, the question was does 400 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:06.680 this guy know how to coach offense or does he just need players who can 401 00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.279 play offense? And the second season they got you know, quarterback on some 402 00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:11.559 receivers, the running backs, and all of sudden the offense is good. 403 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:15.440 It's like, oh, maybe Jetfish doesn't know how to coach an offense. 404 00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:18.400 Maybe he can call plays offensively. I think Manson deserves that benefit of the 405 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.400 doubt. Two, where Okay, get him better players, because you look 406 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:25.400 at the roster last season, they played hard, but was that a good 407 00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:27.039 defense? Was that a group of players that were going to get a lot 408 00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:33.079 of stops against pretty good offenses? And no, that's simple answers. So 409 00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.200 they went into the off season upgraded that side of the ball. I forget 410 00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:40.519 what the transfer portal number was, but it's like all defense that they basically 411 00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:44.519 got other than Montana monious Craig and I thought was, okay, if these 412 00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:48.079 guys can play Johnny Manson system, if there's an upgraded talent, now we 413 00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:52.000 get to see what he can do with that type of rotations. So you 414 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:55.039 know, again it's only two games, and maybe the offensive they faced weren't 415 00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:57.559 particularly good, but I think you have to give credit to Johnny Manson for 416 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:02.720 so far maxim rising the talent he has, which is now better talent than 417 00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.799 he had last season. But we saw Justin Flow come in and be the 418 00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:11.920 Justin Flow that I think a lot of us expected to see anybody else, 419 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:15.640 or the kind of sticks out that you've seen on the defensive side that you 420 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.720 know says this is why the defense has been pretty good the last couple of 421 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.960 weeks. I mean Bill Norton, I think it starts up front with someone 422 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:26.440 like him. He's just been like in the backfield, is making plays involved, 423 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.839 like you see him breaking down the offensive line. Manoah, I think 424 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:33.200 has been pretty good. One guy that I was thinking about just the other 425 00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:36.359 day. I was talking to Brian Peterson, my owner at asydesertsworm dot com, 426 00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:40.200 was Ephesians Price Sock, because we haven't really heard his name called that 427 00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:41.400 much. And I'm like, is this because teams aren't throwing at him? 428 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:44.759 Or is he just making you know? And if they're not throwing at him, 429 00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:47.559 why is that his coverage really good? Or what's going on there? 430 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.839 And him coming in as the number one cornerback replacing Christian Roland Wallace. I 431 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:56.440 know the fumble on Mississips State's opening possession, Priceock got the leverage on the 432 00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.880 outside, forced the receiver back inside, and Herbie was able to force the 433 00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:02.960 bumbles. So, you know, it's tough with corners because if they're not 434 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:06.319 getting interceptions and not getting pass break, and it's hard to know that they're 435 00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:08.240 doing a really good job unless you watch the film. But I imagine the 436 00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:11.839 Phesian's Pricelocker is doing a very good job as a number one cornerback, which 437 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:17.519 is obviously huge for them. Yeah, I guess we gotta cut you loose 438 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:21.480 here real quick. So next couple of weeks, you know, you know, 439 00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:26.440 you figured they should be utap Stanford obviously not very good. But you 440 00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:29.240 know Arizona winsay the next two games, then they got Washington coming in. 441 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:30.839 Well, what do they have to do these next couple of weeks to be 442 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:36.440 ready for that? It's certainly they're for Washington. It certainly feels like just 443 00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:38.559 play well, stay healthy, and then you have that big game. But 444 00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:41.519 obviously you have to win these next two games to make the Washington game not 445 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.079 much bigger. And you know, for Arizona, you get past the laws 446 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.920 of Misisippi State, you're kind of you win the next two year where you 447 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.400 probably are supposed to be yet at uh, you know, re and one 448 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:55.880 going into the Washington game, that's not a bad place to be for them. 449 00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:57.680 So I mean, ideally you see Delora cut back on the turnovers and 450 00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:02.000 the offense start to look like it did last season in the good games, 451 00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:06.599 and the defense continue to play well and get guys like Justin Flow more comfortable 452 00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:08.319 in the defense. All of a sudden, they're more dynamics. So you 453 00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:11.079 know, you stay healthy, win the next two games, and play well 454 00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.240 doing so, then yeah, you're still going to be an underdug against Washington. 455 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.279 I guess, no, pun intended, but you know, you'll feel 456 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.079 a bit better about your chances with them coming to the desert. So you 457 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:23.440 know, it's, yeah, they should win the next two weeks, and 458 00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:26.960 if they do, then it kind of outed. So we've seen the last 459 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:29.400 you know, the first two weeks. But if you trip up against you 460 00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:32.279 Pepp or go to Stanford and lose, then you start to wonder, Okay, 461 00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:34.680 what's going on here? So stay healthy, play well, and then 462 00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:37.400 yeah, when the next two games and then you have a big one against 463 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:41.000 Washington in a couple of weeks, right, Okay, Adam, Hey, 464 00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:42.599 thanks a whole bunch man doing this on short notice. We do you appreciate 465 00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:45.359 it, then we'll be we'll keep reading your stuff. Easy desert swarm. 466 00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:51.200 Thanks a bunch all right, thank you? Cool, no good observations. 467 00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:53.200 I mean it's kind of instep with us. Yeah, yeah, I mean 468 00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:57.519 I always like people who agree with us because that makes that makes us really 469 00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:02.119 smart when some smart guy can and talks about all that stuff. But he's 470 00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:04.920 right, you know, And and again, if there's a lot more good 471 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.759 Jaden than bad Jaden than you know, they'll get to where they should get 472 00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:12.400 to. What you want is if the bad Jaden can completely go away. 473 00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:18.559 They might win home bunch of game. Yea easier said than done, right, 474 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:19.519 you know, the one thing that he mentioned and the gay, I 475 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:25.119 don't know if you mentioned him justin flu right, we've been asking where's he 476 00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:26.160 been or what's up with him?

A 558 00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:17.639 game called yesterday, game called yeah, and and I thought, yeah, 559 00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:22.360 yeah. Some good calls up. Obviously, I think Don called he was 560 00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.880 siding with with my guy Chris. Don I don't know what your sanity, 561 00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:29.920 yes though, yeah, you know, I do have a beef with what 562 00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:32.360 Chris said when he said they were supposed to win that game. You know, 563 00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:37.119 they weren't. No, they weren't. That was my That's exactly what 564 00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:40.400 I couldn't convince. It was just simply wrong. They were not supposed to 565 00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:43.880 win the game. You understood, you heard my firstation, right right. 566 00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:46.800 They could have won the game. You might even argue they should have won 567 00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:50.400 the game if they don't play as bad as they did in the first quarter. 568 00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:53.559 But going in, they were not supposed to win the game. No, 569 00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:59.719 and I and they were near to Chris's point that this is these are 570 00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:02.039 the game they need to go over the hump. Don't disagree at all totally, 571 00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:06.639 but he was going tangentially in a bunch of directions. I couldn't stop 572 00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:07.760 him, you know, at the end of the game. But here's the 573 00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:10.159 here's the picture of high I saw the game. Oh we got a call. 574 00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:15.719 Let's take this callack callback. We missed you, Sorry about that. 575 00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:21.400 You know, it's my wife's birthday. We're in San Diego. Where where 576 00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:24.039 at this house? That we've rented in Mission Beach. We're watching the game. 577 00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:28.079 We keep pushing back our dinner. Oh, here we go. Let's 578 00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:30.920 take this. Hi, you're on the air and I on the ball. 579 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:34.840 How's it going today? What's up? Brian? Brian? How come you 580 00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:39.599 can call me yesterday and get this sanity in order? Couldn't save me? 581 00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:45.199 I'm listening to me and going, man, you got some problems to say? 582 00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:52.159 You need a Jake. I told you. I don't know how to 583 00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:53.400 take that. Bran. I feel like i just got punched in the gun, 584 00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:55.920 and I'm supposed to feel good about it, all right, So what's 585 00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:00.280 up? That's exactly but you know, you know, watching the game game, 586 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:05.199 you know we should have won, but we didn't. And now we 587 00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:08.480 have to kind of move on in life and say, Okay, we should 588 00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:12.440 win this weekend. If we don't win this weekend, his whole season shot. 589 00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:16.119 But we should win this weekend, and we are exactly where everybody thought 590 00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:20.079 we would be. Two and one. Yes, yeah, you know, 591 00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:24.639 I'm the hardest part is to watch that game knowing that we could have won 592 00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:29.840 and should have won, but we didn't, and so everybody's going to pile 593 00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:34.079 on you know, Jane Delor, he's just one of those guys that either 594 00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:37.079 he's really good or he's really bad. And we got to hope he's really 595 00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:42.400 good for the next ten games. So isn't that scary being a fan? 596 00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:45.360 Well, as you said, he's got to be more good than bad. 597 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:47.760 He's going to be bad, but he can't be so bad that they had 598 00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:52.039 cost them games. This is your starting right, right, this is your 599 00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:57.239 starting quarterback. Yes. And and one thing too that still impressment because they 600 00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:01.239 called an earry on the first game. The defense is so much improved that, 601 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:06.000 you know, with all those mistakes the offense made or the quarterback, 602 00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:09.280 whoever you want to blame, we were still in the game because of the 603 00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:14.599 defense. Yeah, which, and they've not been in the game because of 604 00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:20.159 the defense. And since three rich Rod, Yeah, yeah, it's it's 605 00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:23.559 you know to me, and okay, they should win utep, I don't 606 00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:27.400 know what Stanfords and the like, we don't know got to go there, 607 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:30.559 so that, you know, that makes it difficult, you know, And 608 00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:32.719 then we got to play Washington, you know, and then if we're if 609 00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:38.559 we're three and one going into Washington, we got to be very happy. 610 00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:42.519 Yeah, No, then just and just see how and see how the next 611 00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:46.360 eight games go after that. Well, and that's it. They're right where 612 00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:50.400 they're supposed to be in the in the end. As much as you think 613 00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:53.519 they could have or should have won that game on Saturday, we thought they 614 00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:55.719 were going to be one in one, or at least most people thought they 615 00:39:55.719 --> 00:40:02.000 were gonna be one in one. Right, And if if I can't we 616 00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:06.800 don't make a lot of mistakes in the next four or five games, I 617 00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:10.360 can see us maybe not winning all the games, but being there to have 618 00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:15.000 a chance to win the games. So instead of being you know, like 619 00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:19.400 last year we played great for three quarters, in every fourth quarter we just 620 00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:22.159 fell apart. Yeah, so, brand I think, Bran, I can't 621 00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:27.039 remember you. I can't remember you making the predictions. I think you had 622 00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:29.800 more than six. Yeah, I think you're the one that called Jacob kind 623 00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:32.079 of on drugs or something. Is that right? How many? How many? 624 00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:37.760 How many did you have them winning six? Did you still feel confident 625 00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:43.199 in six? Yeah? I do, I'm sure you have. I think, 626 00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:45.320 Hey, you know, I don't know about Washington, and Washington is 627 00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:50.239 a very good team. We all know that, and USC is I don't 628 00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:53.239 know about UCLA. I don't know about as U. I don't you know 629 00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:59.559 o Oregon State and Washington State are two different I guess animals. I guess 630 00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:02.320 you might say, only for the fact they're playing this season differently than we 631 00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:08.159 are. To me, I think they're playing your seasons. Is we need 632 00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:13.360 to get back of these other ten guys who are leaving us, and they're 633 00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:16.679 they're playing so somebody will keep them at somewhere in a power at a power 634 00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:22.079 five level, right, And the only problem is who's gonna take them right? 635 00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:24.400 Nobody? Right? Okay, Bran hey Man, thanks a Buch, 636 00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:30.440 appreciate it. Stay well, talk to you later. This is your cue, 637 00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:35.159 Brian. If anything, alright, suffer from you call in all right. 638 00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:37.920 So I was storytelling, Okay. So we're watching the game and we're 639 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.760 pushing our dinner. It's what's birthday, right, and it's her birthday that 640 00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:45.320 day, Saturday was her birthday. So we keep pushing back our reservation as 641 00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:47.119 the game is going on, so we can sit here and watch the whole 642 00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:51.440 game. Our dinner places like five minutes from when we're at We keep pushing 643 00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:52.920 back, pushing finally gets to you know, get to work and we said, 644 00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:55.480 we can't push it back one more time, so we watched it up 645 00:41:55.559 --> 00:42:00.760 until regulation ended. Then we all get in the car are and goes I'm 646 00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:02.079 having. I listened to it from Brian. I listened to Brian Jefferies, 647 00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:07.800 Uh, you know his call, you know on on the overtime, Like, 648 00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:10.599 now, I want to know did they get did they get ripped off? 649 00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:19.039 In in? But but then I realized the refs and and therefore the 650 00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:22.840 instant replay review was done by PAC twelve crew. So it wasn't they didn't 651 00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:25.639 get it. Wasn't they didn't get homered on that. No, it's the 652 00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:30.320 usual pack ten PAC twelve jobs. Everybody says. The one thing. The 653 00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:34.599 two things that I didn't get from the press commerce on or that game. 654 00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:38.039 There was no photo of where they placed it. There was no shot of 655 00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:42.519 it. How far were they? People said interest? People said there was 656 00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:45.079 no typically and they didn't use the yard markers. They didn't move the yard 657 00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:47.840 markers. Well, well they didn't because they knew he had to get to 658 00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:52.079 the line and he did. They started. Why didn't they show where he 659 00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:55.639 got to I don't know the fumble, the football was never shown. I 660 00:42:55.639 --> 00:42:59.719 didn't I didn't see it and that and then the second question, and I 661 00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:01.480 asked, justin this yesterday at the press conference, because you know, we 662 00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:06.719 get two minutes with Jed, who's the quarterback sneak call? Was that or 663 00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:09.239 was it? They said, no, who, Laura did it? Nobody 664 00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:14.199 knew he was doing the day? When did they say this yesterday? To 665 00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:20.039 where not today? Someone finally said brand Brand Carroll said, Brandon Carroll said, 666 00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:22.480 And then the players said, Okay, Jaden did that on his own. 667 00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:25.159 Nobody knew he was doing. That makes sense because that's how it looked 668 00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:29.840 bad Jaden. Yes, because if theirs, because if they don't get that, 669 00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:34.199 there's your confidence. There's your confidence, man, if you think you 670 00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:38.000 have it, and you better make it. Baby, I saw I didn't 671 00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:43.519 you know, didn't didn't attend the coordinators press conference. That was all Jaen 672 00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:46.159 Laura. So I'm sure that Jed will be asked that tomorrow because we didn't 673 00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:51.360 have time to ask him on Monday. But but there's another thing. You're 674 00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:59.159 gonna get the good Jade or the confidence Jaden or the confident Jen I don't 675 00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:00.440 know, man, because that's not what he knows. I mean, we 676 00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:06.119 know those dudes dude, I'm trying to I'm trying to think if there's ever 677 00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:15.000 been a quarterback like that at Arizona that's been so Jed use the word aggressive, 678 00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:19.960 I'll tell you. I use the word uh. I don't want to 679 00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:23.760 say gunslingers. That's that's too cliche. He's just and and it's not just 680 00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:28.320 confidence. It's just like I'm gonna I'm gonna do this, and I'm not 681 00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:30.800 afraid to do it, and and and I think I can do it, 682 00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:36.599 but I may screw it up. Jay, Okay, those given the circumstances, 683 00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:39.960 what if he does, are there any ramifications? Are there any what 684 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:44.920 if he does screw it up? Are there any ramifications? Not for him? 685 00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:47.280 Because why? I mean why why? Why? Why? Because there's 686 00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:52.800 the number two guys not gonna take his Jed's jets decided he's the guy. 687 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:54.760 So if you if you have a guy, if if you have that guy, 688 00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:59.719 what you gotta worry about? Yeah, honestly, honestly, he clearly 689 00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:05.519 he clearly has. Based on on Jed's press conference, I say he clearly 690 00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:09.960 had Jed's approval to do what he does, because I feel like Jed really 691 00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:17.239 went out of his way to defend him and take the the glare off of 692 00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:22.880 him from what we thought were a bunch of glaring mistakes he made. There 693 00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:24.559 was in that game. There was something that was said Saturday in the press 694 00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:28.159 conference, and I didn't watch all of it. I just watched the snippets. 695 00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:30.840 And Jaden I think he was maybe justin or somebody local asked him about 696 00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:36.639 the interceptions earlinesss I it was the first quarter or there was the first quarter. 697 00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:40.519 Jed said that, ye had Jed repeated what he's saying. And I'm 698 00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:45.719 thinking, when would you ever say what? Would say that? There they 699 00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:47.960 are, and I think that's important to Jed. They are on the same 700 00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:52.800 page without Hey, if you lose, this is Kurr. If you take 701 00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:54.840 Kurr and put him on the bench and hopefully comes back, he's toast. 702 00:45:55.639 --> 00:46:00.199 He's toast, saying with Jade again and and and and again. As you 703 00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:04.320 said, clearly, you know Jed's taken the approach that he's gonna ride or 704 00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:06.840 die or die with him. He's gonna ride or die with him. No, 705 00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:10.400 Fafita is next year's guy, right, He's next year's guy. And 706 00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:15.960 and and you know I heard basically I heard, uh Jimmy Doherty in preseason 707 00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:20.679 and then late and then Jed Fish Jed last week he was asked about Fafita 708 00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:22.920 and both of those guys makes He said, no, Fafita is in a 709 00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:27.239 great spot. He's doing or asking him to do. He's you know, 710 00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:30.320 he going a great job. This is not his team next year's Yeah, 711 00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:35.719 well you listen. Did you listen to the audio of the game on Saturday? 712 00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:37.920 Well, did you just watch a game at someplace? I watched it 713 00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:42.840 at our at the household. What are the representatives? You know? Because 714 00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:45.840 the locals wouldn't say this, but he says he compared him to Mahomes in 715 00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:49.800 a Mahomespa. I don't want to go there, but he's got there, 716 00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:53.519 and he does have that crazy, crazy mentality. I can make you can't 717 00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:58.920 make any throw. You can make any throw that's scary but good, scary 718 00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:00.320 but bad. Yeah, if that he can't, let's take this call. 719 00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:06.079 You're on the air and I on the ball. Yeah. I appreciate your 720 00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:08.599 guys, show missus Robert, I just want to ask a question about the 721 00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:15.400 UFAs the way they start their games. But Michael Wiley up the middle of 722 00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:17.679 Michael Eiley up the middle of Michael Wiley on a Sween pass. Why is 723 00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:22.960 I think Fish is a good coach and we had a lot of weapons on 724 00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:24.519 the offense, but the way we started to get I know, the lawyer 725 00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:30.320 had the three interceptions, but why will we stow vanilla or whatever generic whatever 726 00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:36.360 with Michael Wiley? What is the fascination was running at plays plays for the 727 00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:39.239 first fifteen plays of the game on offense. You know, I'm not a 728 00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:45.400 coach, but I'm gonna guess that the Mississippi State defense dictated what they were 729 00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:49.840 doing running the ball, and they just weren't able to run the ball well 730 00:47:49.920 --> 00:47:53.599 or didn't feel like they had uh you know, whatever they tried, it 731 00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:55.719 wasn't working. I mean, you know, they didn't run the ball very 732 00:47:55.760 --> 00:48:00.440 well. I think we knew going in that they weren't going to because Missippi 733 00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:02.960 State, you know, they're an SEC team with a very physical, physical 734 00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:07.920 front, and uh, you know, I think it seems to me that 735 00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:10.639 they do want to run the ball. We'll see some more of that probably 736 00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:15.239 this week against UTEP and then see what they do against Stanford. But you 737 00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:19.159 know, Michael Wiley, to me, he's still the key to all of 738 00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:21.960 this. He's got to be able to run the ball. Uh, you 739 00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:23.760 know, all season long, he's got to be successful with it. And 740 00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:27.199 it just may have been MISSISIPI states defense was too good. I don't know, 741 00:48:27.239 --> 00:48:30.679 what do you think, Steve? No, no, no, I 742 00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:34.800 agree. It was kind of told me, yes, isn't it? Yeah, 743 00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:37.480 go up the middle, run the ball, told me yeah. But 744 00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:39.239 I think they were trying to, you know, run the ball, state 745 00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:44.519 just establish it that a little bit. They had a little bit of success, 746 00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:46.079 but not, you know, not a lot. And again, who 747 00:48:46.079 --> 00:48:50.920 has a lot of success running the ball against an SEC defense? In fact, 748 00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:52.679 Lamont asked him the second half because they opened it up in the second 749 00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:55.920 half. They moved around dinks and dunks and blah blah blah, and they 750 00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:59.519 moved the ball and you're thinking, oh, they have a chance. Yeah 751 00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:00.760 they should have. Don't go from the beginning of the game. And where 752 00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:04.760 was Williams. He's a big brutin back that can, you know, knock 753 00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:07.400 some people on their button. I didn't even see. I don't think he 754 00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:08.480 played it. I don't think he played. I don't know if that's that 755 00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:13.599 was an injury issue or something like that, but I don't believe he played 756 00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:16.199 at all. Well, yeah, hopefully, Well we shouldn't lose. It 757 00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:20.719 will be you tap and I think the team showed a lot of heart and 758 00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:22.519 we still have won that game. It's you know, sham. It came 759 00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:25.000 down to one inch at the end of the game. But it is what 760 00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:29.320 it is. And appreciate your guys show. And I think we're gonna win 761 00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:34.960 eight games this year. Guys, I'm not laugh I'm not laughing at you, 762 00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:37.639 Albert. I'm laughing with you because I love that. I love the 763 00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:40.360 fact that we got people out there who believe they can win eight games. 764 00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:43.639 So that's great. Hey, Albert, thanks for the calling, man. 765 00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:49.000 Do appreciate it. Thank you, Gay. That's that's I can't even find 766 00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:58.280 any games left of this team. Well there's eight brings and and and uh 767 00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:01.960 they let's say they fake all No. Seven of the eight teams that are 768 00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:06.320 currently ranked in the eight twenty top twenty five arizone has to play them. 769 00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:09.000 Yeah, so that's crazy, and they're legit, they're not kind of legit. 770 00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:14.559 The Washington States ranked UCLA's ranked Oregon States rank. We'll go through it. 771 00:50:14.599 --> 00:50:17.119 We'll go through the ranks. At the beginning of the whole season, 772 00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:20.840 and we were talking about this and I don't want to toot my horn because 773 00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:23.440 it's not ready to be touted yet. But you talked about winning games. 774 00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:28.800 I says, Okay, everyone is better, but everybody everybody's got better too. 775 00:50:28.920 --> 00:50:30.880 I mean, you know, all you're hearing about is how unfortunate it 776 00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:34.719 is that the PAC twelve is so damn good in the year that it's going 777 00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:37.199 to dissolve basically, and if they had, if they had been this good 778 00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:43.199 two years ago, they'd have a TV contract. Probably true, But isn't 779 00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:45.760 it everything about timing? Yeah, this is what it is. It is. 780 00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:49.599 It is all about timing because you just you just never know. But 781 00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:52.599 uh no, you know, the season keeps getting because all of a sudden, 782 00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:57.280 Colorado is not a not a sure win, right. No, UCLA's 783 00:50:57.320 --> 00:51:00.480 ranked, Washington States rank. Those teams you can lose. You can lose 784 00:51:00.519 --> 00:51:02.000 all those games. The good thing, it's gonna be fun to watch. 785 00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:07.880 People should go to the games. You don't know what team you're gonna see, 786 00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:10.360 and it should be fun. Well, this weekend's game, it's an 787 00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:14.119 eight o'clock game, so many people are not going to come. It's it's 788 00:51:14.159 --> 00:51:17.599 you know it's an eight o'clock game, it's an hour later, but you 789 00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:22.920 should want to go see what this looks like because we've been waiting for this 790 00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:25.199 since before you know, Kevin Sumlin got here. So let me ask you. 791 00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:28.599 We had a minute, a minute a half, so the line comes 792 00:51:28.639 --> 00:51:35.039 out on Sunday comes initially, what what did you think just initially that what 793 00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:37.400 would it be there there's on the line against your tape? I thought it 794 00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:43.880 was gonna be in the twenty I thought twenty four. Yeah, I think 795 00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:46.519 it is too. I wouldn't tell you where I'm going with it. That 796 00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:52.000 should the way they got they just got rolled by a horrible northwestward rolled by 797 00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:57.039 those guys. You know, I don't know, so I I you know 798 00:51:57.239 --> 00:52:00.360 again, you know, we know every day we've talked to Dana Demil, 799 00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:04.440 the head coach of U TAP. You know, he's a good coach. 800 00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:07.239 He had a good thing going there a couple of years ago. They're not 801 00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:10.000 very good this year. Seventeen points doesn't seem like very much you know for 802 00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:15.880 this No, no, especially with a team that's really pissed that they lost. 803 00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:20.880 Yeah, exactly exactly. So, I don't know, but I would 804 00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:24.639 think that there's enough going on that you'd be at least curious enough to go 805 00:52:24.639 --> 00:52:29.480 out and see what this looks like. You know, ye from games, 806 00:52:29.519 --> 00:52:31.280 go play U tap, you know, win a game. You know, 807 00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:34.920 you feel like you go to see. If you go, you're gonna go 808 00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:37.360 see a win. And and that's why you go to the games in the 809 00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:38.519 first place, which is what people want to do. They want to see. 810 00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:40.920 They want to see this team win, they want to see it half 811 00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:46.679 success. And and it's exciting football. They're exciting put up some points. 812 00:52:46.719 --> 00:52:50.440 I mean, Saturday's game was exciting. His hell. As much as I 813 00:52:50.519 --> 00:52:52.559 wanted to throw Amos shoot through the TV in the first quarter, it was 814 00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:55.519 an exciting game the whole rest of the days. It was you couldn't get 815 00:52:55.519 --> 00:52:58.719 away from it, really was. It really was, all right, we're 816 00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:00.159 gonna take our break. We'll be back with breaking news coming up, so 817 00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:02.199 stick around.
