00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.120
Eye on the Ball here on Fox
Watch fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera here,

5
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:28.359
jagon Zalis. Welcome to Monday's show. How about them Cowboys? About

6
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:33.759
the cowboys? How about them buffalos? How about them wild cats. We're

7
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:39.600
gonna get to all of it today. Uh, let's start with Let's start

8
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.000
with the cowboys. Gonna be a
quick conversation. What the hell? This

9
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.880
is why I think every game is
a season. Jay, They come in

10
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.079
as twelve point favors to going to
Phoenix, a horrible team, right,

11
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.920
or two Phoenix to the Cardinals,
horrible team, and they get their butt

12
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.679
beat. It made zero sense,
Yeah, right, exactly, made zero

13
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.000
sense. It made no sense whatsoever. Zero sense is so accurate. Yeah,

14
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:00.840
you think, okay, they're gonna
you know, lolly gang for a

15
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.840
while and then they'll put them away. Well they didn't them along with the

16
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.400
Ravens. The Ravens, you know, before you picked it and we picked

17
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.719
on Fridays sometimes earlier they were missing
a lot of people. Wow. Yeah,

18
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:19.840
but the cults were missing their quarterback. Oh you over talked that overreaction

19
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.040
Monday terms into over reaction the Sunday. The cults were missing their quarterback.

20
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.760
And who is your who's your quarterback? Who will end up being Gardner?

21
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:32.599
Minshew? Oh you never the must
dash man the master. They beat the

22
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.879
Baltimore is good when the heather be
really good, when the heather people and

23
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.480
they started out good, they went
out right. I thought they were gonna

24
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.319
run all over these guys. Happened
to them? Yeah, Boom and Dallas

25
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.760
Jouse looked bad. Whatever everybody anointing
them. Yet yet enough two games,

26
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.840
two games once again proven you can't
ever annoyt Okay, now let's go to

27
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.640
the Buffaloes. Although we'll talk about
this, a lot, uh got humbled,

28
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.560
not just a little, but a
lot. They were like And this

29
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.920
is my problem with the whole situation
with Dion and whoever. And I don't

30
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.280
have very many, but it seems
like it's only one sided where you can

31
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.360
talk a lot of crap. And
if you get a lot of crap talked

32
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:15.000
about you, you keep your receipts. Jay, there's a lot of places

33
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.240
where don't take receipts after ninety days. Yeah, you know, you can

34
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.879
have receipts, but it don't matter
if you don't have any place to take

35
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.360
him exactly. And you know,
and you know, Dan's been doing a

36
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:29.759
lot of talking, because that's who
understandable, that nanable. But you know

37
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.599
he can't. He can't take offense
when somebody talks. And I thought,

38
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.360
and in this particular case, he
just got his ask. And I thought

39
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:40.319
that the landing stuff before the game
was fan fantastic. You know why we

40
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:46.360
know about that because it showed us
if do you remember the Rich Rod when

41
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:47.960
they played in the bull game way
out wherever. It was his last,

42
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.719
his last ball game, and he
talked a lot of crap, and it

43
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.919
was you He probably didn't know it
was his last game. He was a

44
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.159
pretty good speech. It almost seemed
like he cussed a lot in that thing,

45
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.319
which was not a surprise. But
he got them fired up. What's

46
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.080
your job as a coach, You
get your team fired up. However,

47
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.400
means possible, means possible. Well, like you said, the surprising thing

48
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.199
though, the thing that's unusual is
that they're showing that the right. They

49
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:14.680
showed us Dan Landing's pregame speech where
you know, they're after clicks, were

50
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.759
after wins, right, you know, and and that kind of stuff.

51
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.520
And so the fact that we're seeing
all that there was there's been a lot

52
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.800
of conversation about that social media podcasts
and stuff like that, where you know,

53
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:28.479
these coaches are it's it's sort of
a different breed of coach, right,

54
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.919
they're younger, they're more aware,
they follow social media. They watched

55
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:38.159
TV. You had you had a
Ryan Day going off on on Blue Holes,

56
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.039
you had fantastic. They had Jake
dickerd at Washington State going off on

57
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.560
lead course So because he watched Game
Day, which he got it all wrong.

58
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.840
Lead Corso didn't say what what Dicker
thought? He said, Dicker thought

59
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.719
he said the no one's gonna watch
ball. What he said was the no

60
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.560
one wants us ball, which is
true. Okay, all right, And

61
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.840
he went off on course I'll say
nobody's gonna watch your game. That's not

62
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.479
what course I said. Okay,
you know, and then he even went

63
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.439
so far as to say, well
we all know that, you know,

64
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:10.439
Leaves an old guy. And they
put notes in front of him and he

65
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:14.680
just reads them. I'm like,
well you can't. You know, you

66
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.240
can't go on, you can't go
after the old guy. So let's say

67
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.680
this, let's say this. Uh, we're living a time where let me

68
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.160
say this, we're living at a
time where we can't say anything or it's

69
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.959
going to be attached to something,
right and it comes back to bite you

70
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.759
or not? Then why now,
how are we on the show? Exactly?

71
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.319
Why is anybody having a show because
you well, you remember when you

72
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.000
said black and yes, because it's
what we do. That's what coaches do

73
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:39.360
exactly and for and for Ryan Day
in the in the immediacy after the game,

74
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.920
instead of just talking about how great
his team played when it was,

75
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.519
he goes off on Lou Holtz.
I'm like, dude, did you know

76
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:48.800
what he was talking about before?
You actually said? I had to google

77
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:55.319
and Lou Holtz you know he's a
good old boy, YadA YadA, and

78
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:00.600
he was just whatever an Order Dame
coach who just said this is why I

79
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.360
think Notre Dame's gonna win. What
is wrong with that? Now? Again,

80
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.800
guys can use that for however they
want. You know, we all

81
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:12.759
remember the old the one when Arizona
in the eighty eight uh uh basketball tournament

82
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.160
before the Seaton Hall game. Uh, Dicky Teal or somebody I think was

83
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.560
Dick Vitale said that was behem.
No, no, no, Dick Vitell

84
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:26.720
said that he thought he thought Seaton
Hall would be at Arizona, and and

85
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.040
and and he even said he just
thought Seaton Hall. Would you know,

86
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.639
give Arizona a tough time. They
were in the Big East. It was

87
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.480
the Big East, and I guess
some one of the guys came running out

88
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.680
of the lock out of their hotel
room saying, Dick Bytell said, all's

89
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.120
gonna kick our asses. And then
they want to be true? The hell

90
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.360
what you heard? What you?
Well, didn't Beeheim say this at the

91
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.720
beginning of year. They're not gonna
get any They're not gonna get any better.

92
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.959
They're as good as they're gonna get. They're all seniors. But every

93
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.759
they're entitled to. Let's say whatever
they want to say. Again, if

94
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.519
you want to use that to motivate
your team, fine, But well,

95
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.000
R Ryan Day looked stupid. Okay, I thought I thought he looked dumb.

96
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:08.680
I the whole world is against Ohio. Come on. I thought it

97
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:13.920
was fantastic because I didn't know the
context. Whatever you need to get motivated,

98
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.759
Okay, more power to you.
We hear it all the time.

99
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.040
But if you're gonna talk a lot
of crap, and I wish I could

100
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:23.040
use the right word, you better
expect crap to be thrown back at because

101
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:28.399
it's the way it is, exactly
exactly. Okay. Now we have a

102
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.839
lot of time now Arizona, and
let me set this up this way,

103
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.959
Jay, and you can answer it. However, we've played four games,

104
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.120
or they played four games. We
watched four games. What have you really

105
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.920
learned about Arizona to this point?
To this point, I think I've learned

106
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.240
that they've got a pretty good defense. Okay, okay, And in fact,

107
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.800
I think I think unless something dramatic
happens, right and in the next

108
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:55.560
few games with Washington and USC coming
up, I don't know how much they

109
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.800
can they can do, how much
you're gonna be able to do against it.

110
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.240
The offense isn't with the offense was
right right, and I don't know

111
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.800
how much of it is just attributed
to Jane Dolora. They seemingly have a

112
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:10.519
good offensive line. We already got
a call. Oh, let's take this

113
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.240
right, let's take this. Hi
are on the RNA on the ball.

114
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:20.040
So, uh, how are you
guys doing Gabriel, We're doing good?

115
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:27.879
How are you? Is this upset
Gabriel or happy Gabriel? Medium? Till

116
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:35.759
like Gabriel? Go ahead? Wait, I wanted to talk about Arizona's when

117
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:44.000
on Saturday. So why I basically
take from it was when I was watching

118
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.560
the game, I was I was
really concerned that it was like this.

119
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:55.600
It was the cow game from last
year. But luckily Arizona got a important,

120
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:01.879
big important when. But let me
address Uh, there's still the elephant

121
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:11.040
in the room. It's still Jaden, little Laura struggled. Was the offense

122
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.639
and there is a couple of plays
that that he could have easily got a

123
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:22.480
first down. And and let me
ask you this question. Has an offense

124
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:31.720
gone down here points compared to last
year? So you don't have to go

125
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:33.200
see it again you broke up ale
of bits. Let's say that again.

126
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:43.480
Well, what that was? Has
the offense, uh costensuscy rate went down

127
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.519
compared to last year? No question? Yeah, I mean you just look

128
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.000
at the points they're scoring, right, Yeah, they're not even exciting.

129
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.919
Yeah, they're not. They're they're
just yeah. I mean, he's just

130
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.639
they're just not making the making plays
that that you know that they were making

131
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.720
last year. And and I think
get at this point it is I don't

132
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.039
know if you call it a concern, but you know, they don't have

133
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.919
enough offense to be Washington. No, what they're gonna tell you, Jay

134
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.360
is that they're three and one.
That's all that happens, and that's all

135
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:18.639
that matters, is it? Really? I don't know, can I can

136
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:24.080
I add on to what you guys
are saying. Yes, So I think

137
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:30.919
the situation going in Hawaii has has
made him, has made Jaden de Laura

138
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:37.960
very distracted because because Hawaiian scene hasn't
gone away, he shows keep keep coming

139
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.399
back, keep coming back, And
I think for him, he's he's he's

140
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.679
focusing on that he's not basically,
he's not last year's Jayson de Laura and

141
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:58.559
so a fish, I would kind
of explore explore Noah Fatidas as Eric Pennant

142
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:05.159
as apparent to the offense, even
he did a pretty good job on Saturday.

143
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:11.080
So and more. Unfortunately, Arizona
is a calm out swing against Washington,

144
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:18.320
USC and the seventh seven other Patrol
games that Arizona have Yeah, obviously

145
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:24.759
the obviously thanks to the dumb asses
who run the past twelve, Arizona got

146
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:31.120
a heart heartest schedule, even though
the last year of the Patrol so takes

147
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:37.759
a lot. Takes a lot the
PAC twelve. So hopefully Arizona can stack

148
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:46.879
some wins, but I'm very I
hope as a quarterback, but I don't

149
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.279
know. What do you guys think? Well, we'll talk. We'll talk

150
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.399
about that here, just sinking.
So, okay, thank you for calling

151
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.960
Gabe. We're about to address that. Go cap. So we did get

152
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.960
happy game and unhappy game. There's
a lot a lot there. I think

153
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.879
that he's reading too much in the
into the Dolora thing my thing, and

154
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:07.120
I wanted to ask this, he's
just not playing well, he's just not

155
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.000
No, He's as simple as that, right, Jake. You can overthink

156
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.240
things, and maybe the Hawaii than
Yeta yet, I'll think one thing.

157
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.399
And I wanted to ask this question, but I didn't because he already said

158
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.440
he may not. We don't know
that his interviews, so there's no point

159
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.759
in asking until we get to Thursday. Maybe, but maybe that he's trying

160
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.279
too hard to do too much because
he's not doing stuff that he used to

161
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.120
do, right, he's not.
And that's and that's one of the things

162
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.960
that that you know, Jed Jed
was asked, you know what what is

163
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.279
I don't remember what the exact question
is. Basically, Michael, that's what's

164
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:39.759
going on with Jade Delora and and
he had you know, he had he

165
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:46.559
never he didn't ever say he's playing
poorly, but he just talked about how

166
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:48.960
he's doing some of the things that
he did in the game on Saturday he

167
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:54.360
shouldn't be doing. Here. You
know. The beautiful thing about Noah is

168
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:00.279
here we go. Yeah, I
talked to him about the same thing.

169
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:01.919
You know, we just can't hold
the ball, don't We don't need to

170
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.879
do that. We need to trust
our reads. We need to get the

171
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:13.600
ball out there quicker. There's plenty
of opportunities to not hold the ball and

172
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.639
not have to. Now there's a
couple of times that he did have to

173
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.879
for one reason or another. But
uh, you know, I think there's

174
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:22.519
part of the game as you've got
to play with great rhythm and timing,

175
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.840
and if you're not playing with great
rhythm and timing, and you're late,

176
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:28.240
or you're holding the ball, you're
waiting for things to happen. You're gonna

177
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.840
miss things. It's gonna feel like
it's lasting forever. Obviously, you know,

178
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.600
there's no excuse forever drifting back thirty
yards to throw the ball away on

179
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.159
a third and ten on the plus
thirty six yard line and risk the possibility

180
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.039
of a major negative play. We
wound up throwing it away, but that's

181
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:48.960
nothing that we would ever coached nor
permit. But otherwise I would say,

182
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.200
you know, I think that there
are probably some plays that he would like

183
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.600
to have back. I think there
were some plays that I would like to

184
00:12:54.639 --> 00:13:01.440
have back that probably didn't give him
the best possible a play to be successful.

185
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.679
On the plays that he was successful
on, we were able to get

186
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.559
the ball out of our hands quickly. The ones that we were able to

187
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.960
get it out, you know,
I think maybe we had a chance of

188
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.039
cowing on the sideline on the second
third down play probably just went off his

189
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.039
fingertips. That was a heck of
a throw. We hit that first.

190
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.960
The next third down to Jacob on
a short yardage we hit Tanner over the

191
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.440
middle. But for the most part, I thought we were not as Christmas

192
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:33.080
as we normally are. And he
said normally are right right? Doesn't make

193
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.360
any sense. I think when he
says normally are I think he's thinking about

194
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.840
last year, right right, And
we're four games in right right, I

195
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.200
think, And this is me just
observing. He's overthrowing. He's throwing the

196
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.240
hell out of the ball, throwing
hard and trying to do too much when

197
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.480
he used to just do things last
year, right, just trying to do

198
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.360
too much. And I don't know
if it's is he projected to leave this

199
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.399
year no matter what. I don't
know if they say no matter what.

200
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.799
But he can leave, he can't
leap. So the thought is if he

201
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:00.679
has a good year, he would
leave. Well what I him to a

202
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.840
little take when he started to get
this grand gild, I don't know.

203
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.000
That's the thing. You can start
doing things, that's something that's gotten into

204
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.720
it. Maybe, well, you
know you're talking about trying to do too

205
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:15.639
much. I rewatched some of the
game today and there was a play where

206
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.399
he kind of scrambled around. Then
he got he got loose he was and

207
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.879
he was he moved up in the
pocket. All of a sudden, he

208
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:24.879
had all kinds of time, and
instead of just finding a guy over the

209
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.399
middle or something like that, he
throws a ball deep into the end and

210
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:35.120
almost throws it out of the no, because I think I don't think it

211
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.600
would have been a first down run. But all of a sudden he had

212
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.399
time somebody, you know, and
and he just launches one and he almost

213
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.039
throws it out of the stage and
stuff like that. I remember, that's

214
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.000
the stuff that that that's happening that
we're seeing. That that's not that's not

215
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.000
the guy that that we've been we've
been seeing. So all right, hey

216
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.200
do we want to keep doing this? For sure? We got into Tommy

217
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.200
Lloyd. We told we told our
listeners we're going to do Tommy Lloyd at

218
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.799

always come back. Okay, so we're

219
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:03.159

220
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.559

some really interesting stuff to say. He's

221
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.759
just kind of from the hard kind
of stuff, right, Yeah, Yeah,

222
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:13.639

ask, gonna ask those my stories

223

day. Uh yeah, because it was

226
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.799

313
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:47.680
Ball on Fox Sports fourteen fifty Hey, welcome back to twenty of the Ball

314
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:49.880
here on Fox Sports fourteen fifteen.
Come Steve Romeo, here, Jakin's awesome.

315
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:52.599
Get about fifteen minutes for this segment. Here, A lot of fun,

316
00:21:52.839 --> 00:22:00.119
a lot of nice comments. Yeah, opening cover, very candid candidate

317
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:04.079
can comments from Tommy Lloyd to day
at his press conference, the first practice

318
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.960
of the season. It's only September, right, you know, Steve,

319
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:14.200
there's a Red and Blue game on
Friday. Table talks about this. Yeah,

320
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:17.519
but uh, you know Tommy,
you're just talking about getting ready and

321
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:22.319
what you know this day means to
him in the program. Yeah, we're

322
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:23.839
excited. I mean, it's the
first day of practice. I know,

323
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:27.240
maybe you know it's kind of lost
a little bit of its luster, you

324
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:30.960
know, because back in the day, you know, October fifteenth was such

325
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.759
a date that was you know,
burned and fixed in everybody's mind and and

326
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:38.400
now it's it's a little more fluid. So yeah, what it means to

327
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:42.720
me is it's the first day of
our journey, you know, of our

328
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:48.880
new journey. I think we've laid
the foundation to you set the table pretty

329
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.160
good. And uh, it means
that we're forty two days away from our

330
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.160
first game. I think, is
that's how the formula works. I mean,

331
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.319
I honestly don't think it. It
means maybe what it used to you

332
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.839
know now, I mean there's the
ENCLA has really grown, you know,

333
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.440
with how you know, they've let
players and coaches interact in the off season

334
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.359
and so you know where we're allound
around our players a lot more than we

335
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:15.119
used to be, and you know
we're able to you know, you know

336
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.599
basically practice. You can have you
know, eight weeks of stuff you can

337
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.079
do in the off season, and
that's quite a bit, you know.

338
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.640
So yeah, okay, so he
just kind of you know, sets it

339
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:30.920
up. He sets it up,
and so you know, right out of

340
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.440
the box, asked him because he
talked a bit a little bit about their

341
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.160
their their their overseas trip and a
whole bit. So you know, the

342
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.720
question to you know, obvious question
to me was did you learn anything that

343
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:47.400
you was unexpected? Was kind of
surprising at about you know, about your

344
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:51.400
guys having you know, ten full
practices and then the games that you had

345
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.400
here was the answer. I mean, I don't know if anything unexpected,

346
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:56.759
you know. I mean, obviously
you learned a lot, you know,

347
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:59.839
and and uh, you know,
but the one thing that you know,

348
00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:03.240
I'm really being mindful of is you
know, not you know, not you

349
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.359
know, putting people in boxes or
a corner in them or anything like that

350
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:12.799
and kind of you know, letting
their development and evolution as a players show

351
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.039
and you know, and then from
there, you know, we'll start making

352
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:19.119
decisions how we're going to mix and
match lineups and things like that. But

353
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:22.799
what I tried not to do is
get ahead of myself, you know,

354
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:27.240
because I think these these these boys
are working really hard and I think they're

355
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:30.759
making great progress. So you know, I want to I want them to

356
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.039
continue on that path, and I
don't want to be the one to stunt

357
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.960
their growth, right, Yeah,
which he's very careful and when he says

358
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:41.160
about people right when he don't.
When he went down the list of rosters

359
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:44.759
without going through the roster, he
wanted to make sure, he listed everybody

360
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.759
or talked about it everybody, which
which learns that he has a lot of

361
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:49.559
people to talk about death. Well, let's let's go to the depth because

362
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:52.200
you ask this question about it depth
and you know, he said the good

363
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.720
news you said your question. The
good news is you got a lot of

364
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:59.440
depth. But is it also a
dilemma? And uh, and which is

365
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.400
an interesting because again, ten guys
that look like they can all play,

366
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.039
and who's gonna get And it's not
so much about keeping them happy, it's

367
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:11.119
just keeping them. It's about keeping
them. Yeah, there's not even a

368
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.079
word for it. It's about keeping
them you know, the guys get get

369
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:15.559
to play enough, get the ball
enough that should say okay, I'm gonna

370
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.039
keep doing to be here. Yeah, here's what he said. Well,

371
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:21.200
it's not a dilemma, you know. I mean, I feel like last

372
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:22.480
year, you know, when I
kind of you know, I mean,

373
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.680
you know, self assess. You
know, maybe maybe I sliced the roster

374
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.160
a little too thin last year,
and you know, which which can work?

375
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.599
And it certainly has worked for others. And you know, I've been

376
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.400
on teams where it has worked.
But you know it maybe last year it

377
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.839
was a little bit. Okay,
it kind of showed itself at the end,

378
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.119
and I thought, I felt,
like, you know, he just

379
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:47.880
I owed it to the program to
increase our margin for air, and you

380
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:51.200
know, saying one of the ways
was, you know, adding more depth.

381
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:55.000
And I'm excited. I mean,
I think we have great guys that

382
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.519
are, you know, about the
right thing. And you know, I

383
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:00.480
mean, you know, managing you
know, a lot of good players is

384
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:03.839
a good thing. But but but
more importantly, you're managing great people.

385
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:07.599
And you know, I mean great
people that are part of a great organization.

386
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.839
Understand they'll probably be some sacrifices to
come along the way. But getting

387
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.640
back to the response I had earlier, I'm not like overthinking that too much

388
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:19.079
right now, because I don't want
to, like, I don't want to

389
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:25.440
like predetermine or you know, kind
of slice people off a little bit just

390
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:29.680
to make my job easier. My
job doesn't need to be easy. The

391
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:33.839
players are ultimately going to get what
they deserve opportunity wise, in front of

392
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.200
their teammates and what they're going to
earn, and and and they're aware of

393
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.119
that, and and so I know, I'm excited. I'm excited. I

394
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:44.240
think it. I think it definitely
is the deepest team, you know,

395
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.559
in my three years here. But
saying it and utilizing it and having that

396
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.160
showing the quarter or different things so
that they know that's going to be my

397
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.759
job, in the player's job,
to to utilize it and take advantage of

398
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:59.200
it. Yeah, he said some
things in there that we're very interesting.

399
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.839
He said lt year he may have
sliced the roster tin last year, No

400
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.240
coach, I will admit that,
right, because you know, Sean had

401
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:08.240
his talent, you know his talent, right, and then he went to

402
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.400
seven, who went to eight?
Maybe a little, but he played very

403
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:17.039
few guys even though we thought we
had we thought they had pretty good talent.

404
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:21.319
Yea, every every every coach does
that. I don't think he'll have

405
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:23.359
that luxury this year because he's got
talent. He's got guys. Yeah,

406
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:26.759
yeah, I know, he's got
guys and and and you know, and

407
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:32.279
then and and well this next this
next response talks about that about having guys

408
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:36.039
that you're good. You're gonna have
enough guys, you know, if somebody's

409
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:37.839
not playing well, you got another
because he is that My depth question was

410
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:41.279
this was this was a follow up
question I remember if you asked it,

411
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:47.400
But here's what he said. Well, they're good basketball players, and you

412
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:48.920
know, I mean we we like
I said, I mean, you know,

413
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:52.319
one of the you know, I
was had a lot of great experiences

414
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:55.759
this offseason, you know, personally, and you know, one of them

415
00:27:55.839 --> 00:28:00.480
was being able to you know,
be around Steve Kerr and USA basketball some

416
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:02.640
and he just you know, he
said something to me in one of his

417
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:04.920
first meetings with the team that really
struck me. And it's just really simple

418
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:10.200
but profound. It's talent makes talent
better. And you know, I think

419
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:11.880
when you get talented guys that want
to play with other talented guys, I

420
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.759
want to make each other better.
It's a powerful thing. And so you

421
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.480
know that that's what I think we
have in those guards, and you know,

422
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.119
I'm excited to watch it play out
over the course of the season.

423
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:27.039
That that was where he was asked, Okay, how the guards the front

424
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:33.519
court? I know who's the one
coming back? I mean buzwe Kylin Boswell,

425
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:37.160
Yeah, and saying how how you
know how he kind of messed with

426
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.559
all these new guards shore here.
Sure that that was the initial response,

427
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:44.400
but there was just time bout you
got good guys, they should make other

428
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:48.960
guys better. It was choice question
and how simple he's fantastic because he quoted

429
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.960
Steve who's fantastic, And it's simple, right, he said, Boy,

430
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:53.799
once he said that, I said, that's lout. Let's lute. When

431
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:59.680
when Gilbert Arenas is facing Ruben Douglas
and Richards facing Luke and and all these

432
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:03.960
guys, you're facing a guy that's
gonna be better than the guy you're gonna

433
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.720
play in the game exactly. You're
playing against guys that are better in practice

434
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:10.720
that's to be facing later in the
week. Yeah, all right, So

435
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.799
you got into the schedule a little
bit, which is we've been talking about

436
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:17.559
the schedule for a while and what
a great schedule it is. It's gonna

437
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:19.400
be obviously a very tough schedule.
They're playing a bunch of games that nobody

438
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:23.400
else is playing I think, as
many great games as Arizonians. But it

439
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:27.160
was asked about how that whole thing
came together. Well, you know,

440
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:30.200
I mean, I don't want to
act like there's some crazy master plan,

441
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.640
you know, or anything like that. Obviously, the schedule, you know,

442
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.799
when when when you kind of you
know, drill it down, it

443
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:40.720
looks daunting, you know, but
but I think it's something this team is

444
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:42.640
going to be prepared to do,
and it's a challenge I feel like we

445
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:47.559
need as a program. And you
know, a lot of these were just

446
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:49.720
maybe opportunities that came up, and
you know, as we as we you

447
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:52.960
know, I spent a lot of
time with TJ, you know, kind

448
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.680
of talking about this stuff, and
as we kind of you know, slice

449
00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:59.480
and dice the schedule, we just
felt like these were the right moves.

450
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:03.200
And I'm excited about it. You
know. Maybe it's you know, got

451
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.799
a maybe a little heavy lean to
some of the neutral games, but I

452
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:10.400
think if you think about, you
know, you play your Maui, you

453
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.480
play your Bahamas. So those are
three neutral games, and so we're kind

454
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:15.640
of doing that, you know,
but all the games are one offs,

455
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:19.960
and you know, and so I
mean if you looked at a field where

456
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:25.920
you you know, at any neutral
tournament where you played you know, Purdue,

457
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.599
Alabama and in FAU and yeah,
in Michigan, Stay, I mean

458
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:34.680
as the fourth one, I mean
that that that would be a pretty awesome

459
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:37.839
draw. So I mean we're just
separating those games kind of out a little

460
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.480
bit. So I'm excited. I'm
excited. Yeah, as it should be.

461
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.079
I you know, if you if
I was a ticket holder like some

462
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.039
of the people I know, I
would be thrilled to be going to games.

463
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.119
I mean, come, it hasn't
been like this in a long,

464
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:55.000
long, long, long And if
you're spending good money on this, you're

465
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:56.680
gonna get your money right. You
know, you get Duke here again next

466
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:03.279
year. You know, some of
these games are gonna they're the what you

467
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:07.839
what we have to feel is that
there's a really good future for the schedules

468
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:11.039
coming up because he's doing this right. I mean, we don't know what

469
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.640
the whole non conference schedule is for
next year, you know, the season,

470
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:18.960
but what we do know is that
he's not going to be afraid to

471
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:23.799
schedule great games, whether the home
and homes or you know, playing in

472
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:26.440
Phoenix or Vegas or wherever. They're
gonna play all these games. And that's

473
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.079
what he's doing. World Red clip
that we really need to play a couple

474
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:32.599
more, but that we really need
to play was he was talking. He

475
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:34.759
was asked about how he You asked
him it this lot, you know,

476
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:38.920
the six months since I went going
in this is the question I want to

477
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.000
ask, because it's one hundred and
ninety four days really three days from the

478
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:45.799
since the last time we saw him
a podium. We've seen him on a

479
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.240
podium, but it's like a new
game. Yeah, and I wonder how

480
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:53.359
he feels and go ahead, Yeah, here's uh, well we'll just play.

481
00:31:53.400 --> 00:32:00.240
It's been an awesome long six months
for me, and you know where

482
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:02.640
I was able really able to you
know, you you experience highs, you

483
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:07.559
experience lows and and and the lows
sometimes can be your greatest teaching tool.

484
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:10.759
And and so that's how I took
this offseason. And I feel like I've

485
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:14.920
you know, worked as hard as
I've ever worked at trying to grow as

486
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:20.400
a coach and and and and help
and you know, make impactful changes to

487
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.680
our program. And so I really
rolled my sleeves up and put a ton

488
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.359
of time in. Like I said, I've had a lot of great experiences,

489
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:29.559
and a lot of the experiences are
centered around trying to grow as a

490
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:34.119
coach, you know, taking numerous
trips, you know, whether it's to

491
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:37.599
be with other coaches, have other
opportunities, or family vacations, or to

492
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:40.920
hang out with Bruce in the Middle
East. So I mean I've done a

493
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:45.000
lot. Yeah, I mean,
obviously we've had lots of conversations about that

494
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:47.240
stuff, and and and at the
end of the day, we own it.

495
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.640
I mean, I think I think
the only way you can truly write

496
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:57.119
the next chapter to your story is
if you own own everything that came before

497
00:32:57.160 --> 00:33:00.519
it. And and that's good things
and bad things. And there's no excuses.

498
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:04.640
I mean, we we just you
know, I mean it comes down

499
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:08.839
to our culture probably wasn't strong enough, and and our our effort wasn't good

500
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:14.400
enough, you know when we needed
it most. And and you know,

501
00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:16.720
for whatever reason, you know,
I mean those two things were kind of

502
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:20.640
where I've came down to. So, you know, my immediate thought after

503
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:24.519
we lost that game, you know
what was, you know, I've got

504
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:29.400
to increase our margin for air and
how do I do that? And so

505
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:34.079
that that's the mission I've been on
this offseason. He was very candidate,

506
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.799
in fact, one of the most
candid answers I've ever heard. Well,

507
00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:42.880
give you some insight real quick,
Jake. When we were in Sacramento watching

508
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.279
the game, and there he kind
of hinted to that, you know,

509
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:47.160
it's on me. I need to
be better he said, this than the

510
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:51.599
Pudium when they lost I know perfect. He said, this is a few

511
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:54.079
places over the summer to two groups
that he speaks to. I've owned,

512
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:57.759
I'm gonna own this. I'm gonna
make sure that it doesn't happen again or

513
00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:00.519
whatever. You know, you can't
promise that, but you you're hoping it

514
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:04.400
doesn't happen. And then he went
again today. So I was hoping he'd

515
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:07.359
said that, hoping so he could
make my story, and he did,

516
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:09.920
and he went beyond that. You
know how the last year's culture was not.

517
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:14.840
Culture was not there. The effort
was not the effort was not.

518
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:19.519
Okay, the games they lost were
exactly the same. They had leads and

519
00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:21.800
then we'll except for the watching the
Stead game. They had these leads and

520
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:23.280
then they lost them. Yeah,
they kind of quit playing. It was

521
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:28.679
who they were kind of yeah,
and that that was the culture that team,

522
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.400
right right, like we didn't have
to finish or something whatever. I

523
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:35.639
don't know. It was just a
weird situation when I went back and I

524
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:38.760
think think about Princeton game. They
were the number two seed in the country.

525
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:43.519
We've been here before, we've been
here before, right, Yeah,

526
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:47.119
it wasn't It wasn't good. It
did ye no, no, and fans

527
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:51.280
weren't happy. Fans weren't happy,
you know, questioned him. How many

528
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:53.639
people said, Tommy lays not the
guy for the first for the first two

529
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:58.480
months, and he's not gonna get
any guys, you know, But come

530
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:01.719
on, that's over action, Monday, serious overreaction, all right. So

531
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:07.719
that's our tom Lloyd stuff Red the
Red Showcase. He is on Friday night.

532
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:12.519
Tickets are still out there. Well, if we get a chance later,

533
00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:15.559
we'll play this clip that you talked
about. You know, this is

534
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.039
a really meaningful thing to him,
the Red and Blue game. A lot

535
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:21.559
of people it's it's kind of a
throwaway kind of thing, the scrimmage.

536
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:23.679
Let's have fun, let's not be
serious. He it's a serious thing to

537
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:25.440
him, and it means a lot
to him. So we'll play. We'll

538
00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:29.440
try and play that clip a little
later, maybe during breaking news or something

539
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:31.199
like that. But we gotta reminder, but Keith Heath Bray is coming on

540
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:37.360
at four fifteen. We're gonna get
a start to the Washington game coming up

541
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.960
on Saturday. Heath was in the
ninety two game when when Washing number one

542
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:45.599
Washington game down here and got beat, So we'll talk to him about Washington

543
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:50.119
Week that week, and as we
get started on Washington Week here or their

544
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.559
prayer zone. So stick around.

book, Lessons from Loot. It was

548
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:06.920
a labor of love through the eyes
of twenty five former players, coaches,

549
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:09.280
and friends to give insight to the
coach and the man who led them,

550
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:14.119
competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for his twenty five

551
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:17.320
years as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons
from Loot is an insight to how he

552

Wham, This is I on the
Ball with Steve Rivera and Jay Gonzalez on

608
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:39.280
Fox Sports fourteen Fiftay, Hey,
welcome back to What the Ball you know,

609
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:43.440
Fox Sports fourteen fifty on Steve,
You're Jay gotta buy eleven minutes.

610
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:45.000
If you guys want to join us
on the conversation, go ahead, five

611
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:49.280
two O four one six seventy four
forty. In the meantime, we're gonna

612
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:52.320
go to some jet clips, right. So obviously, the quarterback situation Arizona

613
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:55.239
is yeah, a little bit of
blux Delora came out of the game,

614
00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:59.760
Fafita came in, saved the day, had a nice drive for a touchdown,

615
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:01.440
but the winning touchdown. So you
saw the game, you see the

616
00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:06.639
complete game. Again, I don't
watch the okay, So and what I

617
00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:14.000
liked and I don't like anything,
was that Laura was plugging and congratulating Fafita

618
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:15.960
at the end. You know,
he was he was happy for he was

619
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:20.400
happening, engaged from right. Yeah, sometimes you don't see that well.

620
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:22.400
And you know, and and Fafita
was interviewed right after the game, he

621
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.559
said the same thing about Laura.
So that's you know, it's great that

622
00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:29.079
you feel like, Okay, these
two guys are rooting for a sch other

623
00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:32.760
instead of one hoping the other gets
hurt or whatever. But so just basically,

624
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:36.840
uh Jed would just ask basically,
okay, what are you thinking,

625
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:43.280
no Fafita, what you saw on
Saturday? You know. The beautiful thing

626
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:46.760
about Noah is we've had him for
the same amount of time as we've had

627
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:52.480
Jaden. They both got on campus
the exact same day, which would have

628
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.280
been January of a year ago.
They've learned the offense the exact same way.

629
00:41:55.280 --> 00:42:00.679
They've been in the exact same meetings, and they have very similar skill

630
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:05.760
sets in a lot of ways,
so nothing changes, And the only thing

631
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:13.559
that would potentially change would be practice
reps based upon Jaden's health. So if

632
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:19.760
the practice reps go more to Noah
and less to Jaden because he's unable to

633
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:22.679
go, that would be the only
difference. But in regards to game planning,

634
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:27.000
regards to preparation, regards to what
we would do, zero difference.

635
00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:31.119
I don't even flinch with Noah.
Noah has never once given us any reason

636
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:35.679
to not call the what we want
to call, execute we want to execute.

637
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:42.199
He's an extremely talented player, He's
extremely confident and poised. So we

638
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:46.599
wound up I think, handing the
ball off on second down and then breaking

639
00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:50.679
off a good run, you know, or first down, second down,

640
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:54.760
and then he wound up doing a
beautiful job on a little naked bootleg hit

641
00:42:54.840 --> 00:43:00.639
the over route, and then had
two passes there in the final series on

642
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:04.320
second and long and third and short
to secure the win. So Noah did

643
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:07.239
a great job, great job handling
everything, and I would have no concern

644
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:13.440
whatsoever if if he is starting for
us on Saturday night, but really waiting

645
00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:17.440
to seeing how Jaden's ankles. So, Jay, we've been to practices before

646
00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:20.920
the when they allowed us to go, right, we didn't go a whole

647
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:23.119
hit a while, but we went
to a few. We were pretty impressed.

648
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:27.440
We've always been impressed. Right,
nothing's waver even last year. That's

649
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:30.519
when it started because he was mobile. And what's the only concern that we

650
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:32.800
have. He's not tall enough.
But you don't really have to be tall

651
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:37.679
enough, right right, which is
still we can still be concerned. Yeah,

652
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:43.800
but he's delivered. Yeah, Well, he came in and he immediately

653
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:45.960
throws a complete path. You go, okay, everything's gonna be just fine.

654
00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:49.719
Right now. They had to go
down and score because they were behind

655
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.199
when he when he came in,
but he just took him down and it

656
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:54.760
was like nothing. Did you get
a sense and this happens all the time

657
00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:59.360
or a lot, Jay, and
you guys comes in and the team seems

658
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:02.679
energized. Did you keep that feeling? I know I did that. You

659
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:07.719
played they played harder. I don't
know if I saw that go back and

660
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:10.679
be what. Yeah, I haven't
like what I was watching. I watched,

661
00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:15.519
I was watched it up until like
right, I hadn't gotten to the

662
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:17.599
point where the lord got hurt.
Okay, I when I watched the rest,

663
00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:20.599
watch the rest, and we'll talk
about it tomorrow. But I got

664
00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:24.159
a sense that they was just it
might be just where they got in and

665
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:29.559
this new guy, and they had
some added life to themselves. Well they

666
00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:32.159
needed that though they well or it
also just maybe as simple as Okay,

667
00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:36.440
guys, we got the backup quarterback
in. We gotta be gotta be a

668
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:39.280
little better. Could be that.
Let's take this call. All right on

669
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:43.440
the air and I on the ball. How's it going today? What's up

670
00:44:43.559 --> 00:44:49.239
Ryan? Well, I've had some
really terrible things happened to me Saturday night,

671
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:53.039
Like besides, that's barely winning and
not covering at eighteen points. I

672
00:44:53.119 --> 00:45:01.920
thought we'd get I became Steve on
Saturday night. Congratulations, Congratulations, I

673
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:08.079
almost did. I almost didn't get
out of bed Sunday. You can't handle

674
00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:12.920
the climb or what was it?
Oh man, I'll sit in there going.

675
00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:15.119
Don't tell me Steve can be right
about something. That was the worst

676
00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:22.159
part. I've been right more often
you've been in denial. Their son right,

677
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:28.920
obviously, No, it was It's
like these teams have forced the Laura

678
00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:31.840
into making decisions and he just can't
make that decision past him. Good quest,

679
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:35.920
good point, good point. Yeah, you know, I think the

680
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.000
defense said, Okay, we're not
going to give the big play away,

681
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:43.079
so we're gonna make him beat us
by having to think. And that's where

682
00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:45.480
we're in trouble. So I asked
Jay this question to begin the session.

683
00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:52.000
Through four games, Brian, what
have you learned? We're not as good

684
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:57.239
as offensively we thought we were.
And do you see anything do you see

685
00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:01.639
any hope of that in the future. Nope? And unfortunately, you know,

686
00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:05.320
I'm sitting there, I'm looking at
the schedule. I'm trying to figure

687
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:08.280
out what we're going to get three
more wins. You are turning into me.

688
00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:15.199
I thought you've got never called.
I may never call the show again.

689
00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:20.320
I thought Steve had got in your
phone Brian when you texted me at

690
00:46:20.360 --> 00:46:22.960
the end of the game. But
all honestly, I said this during the

691
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:24.360
game that if they lose this game, there's no way they're going to win.

692
00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:30.840
Right, Okay, but even now, even now, let's not forget.

693
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:36.599
But the thing is, you have
to look at unless this offense figures

694
00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:39.519
out a way to improve me in
our defense, is fine? You know,

695
00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:43.119
and it's going to be it's gonna
be a tough game Saturday night,

696
00:46:43.159 --> 00:46:46.320
no matter whether Delora is playing great
or not. We understand that, but

697
00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:51.639
we don't know who the quarterback is. And one thing that Washington is going

698
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:55.039
to be able to do now is
work on their defense as if we have

699
00:46:55.480 --> 00:47:00.679
the other I can't remember his name, the second screen quarterback. Yeah,

700
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:05.480
yeah, so you know Stanford winningto
that game, thinking which Delora. So

701
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:07.639
Delora gets hurt and all of a
sudden the feat that comes in and they

702
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:12.159
have no idea how to play him
the same way. I think they have

703
00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:15.760
a lot of the same qualities that
you don't scramble. I don't I don't

704
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:20.199
know what's going to happen, but
enjoy enjoy being me, Brian. And

705
00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:23.360
the next three weeks are not going
to be easy. Oh I know,

706
00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:25.760
it's you know, what do you
mean three weeks? I think the next

707
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:29.239
night. I don't know. If
you watch any of the AU game,

708
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:35.639
Luckily the luckily USC does not look
at impressively impressive defensively at all. Yeah,

709
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:38.880
okay, you know, and and
then that that could be our benefit.

710
00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:42.239
I guess, I don't know.
It's hard to figure out, so

711
00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:44.639
well, again, we just don't
know from one week to the next what

712
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:47.119
they have and that's it. And
yeah, all right, Brian, Hey,

713
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:52.159
thanks about man. Okay, talk
to you later. Well, you

714
00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:55.480
know he makes a point right that
you know, who do you prepare for

715
00:47:55.639 --> 00:47:59.960
and all that kind of stuff because
we didn't play this clip right the comparison,

716
00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:04.800
no, no, okay. So
Jed was asked to compare his two

717
00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:09.119
quarterbacks. I depend on what happens
going into going into Saturday. Well,

718
00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:13.719
I mean, the simple answer would
be experienced. Jaden started thirty two games

719
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:19.760
in college football already this year,
where this would, if Noah happens to

720
00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:23.440
be starting, would be his first. So experience wise, what they've seen

721
00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:30.079
over time, what he's seen regarding
let's call it, all the different looks

722
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:35.079
that he's had to deal with,
and where he is able to kind of

723
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:37.440
pull back from the memory banks of
this is where I would have gone versus

724
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:43.199
this defense. That makes a difference. I would say, I don't think

725
00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:50.840
anybody that I've ever coached has the
unique ability to make some of the splash

726
00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:57.280
plays that Jaden can make, where
he is avoiding sacks, getting out of

727
00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:02.760
bad situations using his to his advantage
and then keeping his eyes down field to

728
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:07.239
hit an explosive play. But we
haven't seen that from Noah yet. He

729
00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:12.920
hasn't had those opportunities yet where you
know. But for the most part,

730
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:16.719
when you look at both the players, they both, you know, are

731
00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:20.559
able to control the huddle. They're
both able to control line of the screamage.

732
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:22.719
They both have understanding of the offense. They both can make all the

733
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:25.360
throws on the field. You know, you don't have to worry about is

734
00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:29.800
that too far of a throw?
Is that something that we don't feel comfortable

735
00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:32.760
throwing outside the numbers? You know, all the things for our offense.

736
00:49:32.960 --> 00:49:37.360
Both of those guys can execute.
So Jake, is it? Yeah?

737
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:40.639
So let me ask you a question. Okay, if you were to pull

738
00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:45.320
the fans of too Soon the rezone
the Wildcats, where would they lean for

739
00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:50.599
the next starter? Oh? They
went Fafita exactly exactly. Okay, if

740
00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:53.039
you pulled the jet Fish, who
would he start. He's gonna look at

741
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:58.800
the film and he's gonna start jading. He's gonna experience. He's still believes

742
00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:00.280
in it. He's got his bias
to Jaden, right, don't you think?

743
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:02.280
Well, he still believes in him. Steve, Sure, Well,

744
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:07.000
what we're seeing is doesn't look good
from where we sit. Sure he,

745
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:09.400
You know, none of us analyze
film the way. Sure of course.

746
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:12.440
Let me this is where I want
to go with it. So you have

747
00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:15.239
a few kids, You have a
couple of kids through kids, right do

748
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:17.679
you some of your kids say you
favor one over the other. They say

749
00:50:17.800 --> 00:50:21.800
favor one over the other. My
point is, because you have right,

750
00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:24.400
they see you have a bias.
Everyone thinks one of the other ones in

751
00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:30.360
the favorite. So would you think
that coach Fish has a bias with what

752
00:50:30.519 --> 00:50:32.960
it is with his quarterbacks? Yeah, but I think it's more based on

753
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:38.400
long term. We've already said that. You've already said that Jaden's his right

754
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:43.599
or die. Yeah, it was
takes to the detriment of Lloyd with Kerr,

755
00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:45.719
Yeah, because but it's like he's
come this far with Jane Delory.

756
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:51.039
He's not going to kick him to
the curb this quickly. Right it not.

757
00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:53.599
Look, here's the hypothetically we're run
out of time. Go ahead,

758
00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:57.079
let's say no, if Fita comes
out, it has to has to play

759
00:50:57.119 --> 00:51:00.280
Streday and Jane Delord doesn't play at
all. Let's say they win. Yeah,

760
00:51:01.800 --> 00:51:07.360
you go with it. Man,
this is the Clinton Longley of the

761
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.800
Dallas Cowboys. You remember that.
You don't what I refer yea? Yeah,

762
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:15.719
absolutely, you go with the guy
that beat Washington or even played well

763
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:19.039
against him. Jam. It's a
tough decision fight. And as that,

764
00:51:19.159 --> 00:51:21.559
you know in the oak cliches that
you know who's the most popular guy on

765
00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:24.159
the on a football team, the
second string quarterback when the first string quarterbacks

766
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:28.679
playing like crap? And then and
then look, James Delord's not played like

767
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:32.119
the Jamee Delard we were all expecting
to see through four games. Four games.

768
00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:35.679
I mean, he played pretty good
against you, Tepp didn't do anything

769
00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:39.000
stupid. He was awful against Mississippi
State for a quarter. He was so

770
00:51:39.159 --> 00:51:43.920
bad in a quarter it wrecked three
quarters of good football that he played.

771
00:51:44.159 --> 00:51:46.320
He didn't look that great against the
NAU you know, and and now he

772
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:51.519
did. He wasn't looking good on
Saturday. How many near him? How

773
00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:53.599
many games you do you give him? Right? Yeah, Okay, we

774
00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:55.840
just gonna take the break. All
right, let's get out here. We're

775
00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:59.280
gonna take a break. We'll be
back there. Some breaking news and they

776
00:51:59.280 --> 00:52:02.159
don't have heathy to talk about Washington
Week. Uh so stick around
