I'm an mpath I love. 40 00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:51,239 I love you know a little ideation synergistic empathy, I 41 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,239 guess you know. 42 00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: Conversation that's good. 43 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, Saday was tough. That was kind of a 44 00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:04,680 nasty all we put on the board, and and it 45 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:10,120 really started early with you know, with a shake pot 46 00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:12,680 which didn't cost us anything, but then a muff punt 47 00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:17,159 after after that that, I mean only even gave up 48 00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:20,080 three points. But it just, man, we just kind of 49 00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:25,800 we really need to start, uh way faster than than 50 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,560 we did. And you know, the defense grind as much 51 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,800 as they could, and I mean by field goal, that's all, 52 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,919 that's all they gave up. 53 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,439 Speaker 3: We just couldn't do anything offensively. It's just we were 54 00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:39,000 out of sync. 55 00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: And yeah, they were good and they're defensive line was 56 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,520 great and they spent millions of dollars and uh n 57 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,240 I L money and and getting those guys and they're good. 58 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,479 Don't get me wrong, they're good. But you know, it's 59 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,680 hard for me because Texas Tech. It's it's still Texas Tech. 60 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:03,159 It's just that that was that was a tough one. 61 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,560 But the puzzles that came out of it was obviously 62 00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:09,639 the defense is that's kind of where we're hanging our 63 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,639 hat this year. And that's great because defense was championships. 64 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:19,360 Everybody understands that. And gets that. But again, I think 65 00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:24,039 this is where I still have more confidence going into 66 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,800 this next game. Like I go back to the Iowa 67 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,560 State game and beating our rivals and going across the 68 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,319 planet to go play a good Iowa State team, and 69 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,360 how we responded. 70 00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, after the first half let down. 71 00:03:41,759 --> 00:03:45,759 Speaker 2: Hangover maybe, but then we turned it on and kind 72 00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:49,919 of put it on them in a big way. And 73 00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:57,840 I expect that same turnaround and response from a very 74 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,840 mature football team on Saturday night, Lovella Edwige Stadium. 75 00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:05,479 Speaker 3: I look for us to bounce back. 76 00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:07,919 Speaker 2: Don't know if it's gonna be in a big way, 77 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,159 but I think it's gonna be a comfortable and out 78 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:18,879 comfortable enough amount to where kuon Nation's like, Okay, this 79 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,839 is we're back on track because we still have a chance. 80 00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 3: Obviously we got you gotta win out, but you gotta. 81 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,199 Speaker 2: Focus on the horn Frogs first and foremost and in 82 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,959 pro tomorrow. 83 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,319 Speaker 4: Steve Klements from the BAU Quarterback Talkings for BAU Football, Yeah, 84 00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:36,759 the lessons learned. What lessons can be learned from the 85 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,720 Texas Tech game that can help you to finish the 86 00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:40,600 season out right? 87 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I think we got to do a better job. 88 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: On the well on special teams K Pop's I'm not 89 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,279 worried about there. 90 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 3: They're gonna He's gonna have that figured out. 91 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,759 Speaker 2: The three turnovers were unfortunate, and I think we talked 92 00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:03,279 about it last week. 93 00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: We have to win the turnover battle, and we didn't. 94 00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: We were we had three turnovers, had zero, And yeah, 95 00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:16,120 that was a factor in the game. Absolutely, when when 96 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,639 two good teams play, you're gonna look at turnovers, You're 97 00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:22,279 gonna look at first downs, You're gonna look at efficiency 98 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,439 on both sides of the ball. 99 00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:27,879 Speaker 3: Uh special teams really really struggled. 100 00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:33,639 Speaker 2: But I think that was I think it's an anomaly. 101 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,839 I think offensively it's an anomaly. We had some drop passes, 102 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,319 we had some things that didn't typically. I don't think 103 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,000 that's that's buy A football. I don't think that's the 104 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,040 buy U offense. 105 00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:52,519 Speaker 3: Uh LJ had thirty five yards for ten carries. Could 106 00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:55,319 he have got the ball a little bit more? Yeah? Probably, 107 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,000 I mean three point five yard to carry. It's not bad. 108 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,759 It's not awful, but it's not bad. We just got 109 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,600 too far in the hole too quick in the game. 110 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,959 Speaker 2: But you know, it's defense gives up nineteen points through 111 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,240 three quarters. Yeah, we got to do something on offense. 112 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,399 I'd like to see a Rod throw it more than 113 00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:23,160 probably he's maybe used to throwing it. Go you go 114 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,959 back to Iowa State type game plan. Yet you still 115 00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:29,360 got to run the ball. That's still your bread and 116 00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:31,879 butter with Bear and LJ back in the backfield. 117 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: But I'm hoping to see a lot more play action 118 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,800 pass and. 119 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,319 Speaker 2: A lot more three and four and five route combinations 120 00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:46,600 offensively in the passing game rather than a max protect 121 00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:48,279 and a two receiver. 122 00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:53,199 Speaker 3: Route combination that we had really the majority of the 123 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,439 game on last Saturday. 124 00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:56,759 Speaker 1: Love that breakdown. 125 00:06:56,759 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 4: Steve Klements from boor quarterback talkings would be why you football? 126 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: The TA see you game. 127 00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 4: Right and at the Texas school you're well familiar with, 128 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,000 having played ball in Texas coach high school ball in 129 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,079 Texas for a long time. TCU, What do we know 130 00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:12,800 about TCU? What's your scattering reports say about the horn Frogs. 131 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: Oh, they're gonna try to air the ball out. 132 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: That's just they've been really good in the passing game 133 00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:28,439 for a long time. Traditionally, I believe the same quarterback 134 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,439 had born in fifty or some midd yards when we 135 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,079 got beat got destroyed by them down in Fort Worth 136 00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:36,399 a couple of years ago. 137 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,319 Speaker 3: It's the same kid as Hoover kid. He can play, 138 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,560 he's good. I think he's. 139 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: Ranked top ten nationally in passing offense, passing yards so 140 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,360 and only a few interceptions. So I think they'll try 141 00:07:52,399 --> 00:07:54,560 to do the same thing. They're gonna test us on 142 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,639 the back end, which I don't believe no one really has. 143 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 3: Up to this point. I know Jay hill Is is 144 00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:05,680 leary of that. 145 00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: Obviously, he spoke to it as much this week about 146 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,879 their passing game and how they got to have a 147 00:08:14,279 --> 00:08:16,759 coverage and they got to be tightened up and but 148 00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:19,879 probably more importantly, they've got to get to the quarterback. 149 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,319 Having played that position, it is very, very difficult to 150 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,600 throw to be comfortable when you got guys running in 151 00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:31,879 your face and you don't know where a blix is 152 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,440 gonna come from and disguise up front, or you just 153 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,679 have four dudes that can rush the passer and get 154 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,759 to the passer and you can drop seven in a 155 00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:44,840 zone or play some games with you know, a half 156 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,320 zone half man look in the back end. But man 157 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,840 if if you as a quarterback, you start looking down 158 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,440 instead of up down the field. 159 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,639 Speaker 3: You're screwed. You're in big trouble. 160 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,799 Speaker 2: And so hopefully we can get that get to the 161 00:08:59,799 --> 00:09:03,600 court back before he has a chance to get comfortable, 162 00:09:03,639 --> 00:09:06,639 because well, you had a kid like who were comfortable, 163 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,600 you could be in for a long night. 164 00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 3: So and don't see that happening. 165 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 2: I think we're good enough upfront and in the back 166 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,159 end to get to the quarterback to at least make 167 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,519 him uncomfortable, just change his platform a little bit, make 168 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,840 him throw from different vantage points in different areas in 169 00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:28,440 the pocket. 170 00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:34,279 Speaker 3: And I see this playing really well Saturday. 171 00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 172 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 4: Are you confident in BYU's secondary right now? In their 173 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:46,200 pass coverage versus Texas Tech? Baron Mooreton, who was hobbled, 174 00:09:46,639 --> 00:09:50,200 was able to sling it connect and he was able 175 00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:53,320 and capable of moving the ball down field against the secondary. 176 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,759 What do you make of what what happened versus Texas 177 00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:00,679 Tech and and what can be modified or or ultimately 178 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,279 change heading into TCU game. 179 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,039 Speaker 3: Well, I think. 180 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:16,759 Speaker 2: Because I have so much confidence in Jay to come 181 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:22,080 up with something for TCU, specifically because Texas Tech didn't 182 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,879 throw it. Traditionally thrown the ball all over the lot, 183 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,399 but not as much I think with a defense that 184 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,240 they have, they that Morton kitt didn't have to throw 185 00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:37,120 as much to win a lot of games. But yeah, 186 00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:41,360 we were definitely tested, and we'll be tested again this week. 187 00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:45,919 Speaker 3: I think, ja he's gonna have a pro you know, 188 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,639 he's gonna have a. 189 00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:51,159 Speaker 2: Way in which to probably bring in a nickel, maybe 190 00:10:51,159 --> 00:10:52,559 a dime every once in a while. 191 00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 3: The guy's so freaking smart. The game plan is gonna 192 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:56,519 be there. 193 00:10:56,919 --> 00:10:58,639 Speaker 2: It's gonna Yeah, we're gonna have to rely on our 194 00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:00,960 talent and our back end, which we haven't really been 195 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,320 tested all that much until Texas Tech, but even not 196 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,200 as much as we're gonna be tested on Saturday. 197 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 3: So I don't feel like he's gonna be a track meet. 198 00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:14,399 Speaker 2: I still think our front seven gets to the quarterback 199 00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:20,120 before he has comfortable enough time to throw. But yeah, 200 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,279 we're gonna be tested, and it's gonna be that first 201 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,000 half is gonna bo. I think have a lot of 202 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,120 questions answered in that first half and see how we 203 00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:32,399 do in the front end get into the quarterback. If 204 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,240 you don't get to him early, boa we could get 205 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,240 into a track meet, no. 206 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: Doubt about it. 207 00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:42,279 Speaker 4: Any questions looming, questions about the health of L. J. 208 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: Martin. Did he seem like himself? Do you think he's 209 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,639 gonna be okay down the stretch? 210 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 3: Oh, I think he's gonna be fine. I don't. I 211 00:11:51,759 --> 00:11:55,399 don't have any qualms about him whatsoever. 212 00:11:56,159 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be He's such a big, powerful 213 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,720 and I think, you know, I only got the ball 214 00:12:04,799 --> 00:12:05,399 ten carries. 215 00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 3: I don't see. 216 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, he might have some, naight, I mean, but everybody 217 00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:12,120 is going to at this point in the sea. 218 00:12:12,159 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 4: Youon. 219 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,799 Speaker 3: I mean, you're in week ten. You're gonna have the 220 00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:17,039 bumps and the bruises, and your. 221 00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: Backup is gonna have to come in and spell guys. 222 00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:24,399 I think our depth is gonna be just fine, even 223 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,639 though we're kind of thin there and that behind him 224 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,919 having to bring over Rex over but from the defense, 225 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,159 but so, I no, I think he'll be fine. 226 00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 3: I think our offensive line would be great. 227 00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: I think we get back on track on Saturday and 228 00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:44,639 look for a win by I'm gonna say about ten 229 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,080 points in twelve points. 230 00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:46,799 Speaker 3: Love that. 231 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:47,639 Speaker 1: Love that. 232 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,039 Speaker 4: Steve Klements here on ESPN The Fan, a little keeping 233 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,840 up with the Cougar S form, review your quarterback, talking 234 00:12:51,879 --> 00:12:55,200 b YU football and what's in store down the stretch, 235 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,519 you have a good team coming in TCU six and 236 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,360 three BA. You're slightly favored in this game. It started 237 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,759 out as I think four and a half point favorite, 238 00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:07,679 now three and a half money maybe going a TCU's 239 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,000 ways right now at these points on the spread. ESPN 240 00:13:11,039 --> 00:13:15,440 Analytics likes b YU as a seventy percent probable or 241 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:16,960 probability of winning. 242 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,399 Speaker 1: And then you take on Cincinnati on the road. 243 00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:22,399 Speaker 4: Is there a game that you're most concerned about on 244 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,879 this final stretch TCU at home, since you away UCF 245 00:13:25,919 --> 00:13:26,279 at home. 246 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: The only concern and the biggest game of the year 247 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,240 is always the next game, and that's TCU tomorrow. Yeah, 248 00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:39,600 that's the biggest game. That's the biggest concern. We've got 249 00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:44,799 to take care of business at home first tomorrow, and 250 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,720 I think we do because we're playing in provo and 251 00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:49,240 I'm telling something happens. 252 00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 3: It's magical. 253 00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: And again I go back and I harp on this 254 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,519 freaking game with Utah and then and then beating the 255 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,120 Iowa State. 256 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,399 Speaker 3: I think this a lot of time. You need a 257 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,279 loss to refocus. 258 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,279 Speaker 2: And my hope is and I really do feel like 259 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,600 this year that one loss is going to be a 260 00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:14,720 good thing and a positive thing and something that we're 261 00:14:14,759 --> 00:14:20,039 going to build upon. Because we went to Lubbock, Texas 262 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:23,120 got beat by now the what fifth or sixth rink 263 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,159 team in the nation. They have a great defense, they 264 00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:29,840 have a great overall ball club. Game day was there 265 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,679 and something you say it was a blowout. Yeah, I 266 00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:37,080 felt like forty points actually at one point. 267 00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 3: But it's not. I mean, I don't know. 268 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,559 Speaker 2: I just I don't feel as bad as I did 269 00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:47,639 after the game now now that you have time to 270 00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:49,399 reflect and look at the film. 271 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,759 Speaker 3: I know. My dad is an old high school football coach. 272 00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 2: He always told me when I got into coaching, when 273 00:14:55,159 --> 00:14:58,879 you watch film after the game, and how you feel 274 00:14:58,879 --> 00:15:00,720 after the game is any different. 275 00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:03,879 Speaker 3: It's never as bad or as good as you think 276 00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:05,720 it is right after the game. Didn't you watch him? 277 00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:08,919 Speaker 2: You're like, oh, wait a minute. We had some turnovers here, 278 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,759 We had them a pump. We had a chap punk 279 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,559 especially team that play were like, we didn't. We didn't 280 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,879 necessarily we got beat. Yes, there's difference and get beat 281 00:15:17,919 --> 00:15:21,320 and losing. I don't think we did eat one. I 282 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,159 don't know if if if we play a clean game. 283 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 3: We beat them at home. I'm not sure. 284 00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 2: I think we had to play almost a perfect game, 285 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,159 but they didn't beat us either. I mean, at some 286 00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:39,960 point we lost, and so it was Yeah, there was 287 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:40,600 probably some. 288 00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 3: I'm sure Coach hill A. 289 00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 2: Rod Klane probably didn't get some sleep that night. But 290 00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:53,720 if it had been forty to nothing, they'd got plenty 291 00:15:53,799 --> 00:15:56,240 of sleep. If it had been ten to seven, you 292 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:02,360 don't get any sleep. So I don't know. Just I 293 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:08,240 go back to I'm confident in their ability to rebound, 294 00:16:08,879 --> 00:16:11,399 whether it's after a win or in this case, after 295 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,159 a loss, just because I think the mentality is different 296 00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:15,679 than it has been in the past. 297 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 3: I truly believe that, Steve. 298 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 4: I'm optimistic that where you can finish off the season 299 00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:25,559 and win all three of these games, they get into 300 00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:29,480 the Big Twelve Championship versus Texas Tech in Arlington, as 301 00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:33,639 Fansas media, we can discuss these things in prognosticate. If 302 00:16:33,679 --> 00:16:36,840 b Way loses to Texas Tech again in the Big 303 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,519 Twelve Championship game, they're a two loss team. Do you 304 00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:43,080 think they get an at large bid to the College 305 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,360 Football Playoff with you having lost twice to a top 306 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,960 five team at that time, Well, you. 307 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,679 Speaker 2: Would hope so, and you would think so as an 308 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:59,480 outsider looking in. But if I would say, we're Notre Dame. Yes, 309 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,000 we're a member of the Big Ten. Yes, we're a 310 00:17:03,039 --> 00:17:07,480 member of the SEC. Yes, but being independent for as 311 00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:10,240 long as we have been, or were up until a 312 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,519 couple of years ago, and playing in the Big twelve, 313 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:20,240 it's US Utah and well this year Texas Tech, and 314 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,400 I just, man, I just I don't know, Ben, I 315 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:30,519 think we should be because if your two losses are 316 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,519 away in a neutral site, and let's face it, I 317 00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:38,279 mean Dallas de Lovick is way further than that, are 318 00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:43,960 closer than Dallas to Provo, Utah, So that's really two 319 00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:48,799 away games, and then you get beat by a top ten, 320 00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:55,920 top seven football team both times. Boy, it's I don't know. 321 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,400 I'm optimistic, but I'm constantly optimistic. I don't know if 322 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,400 it happens, to be honest with you, on paper, yeah, 323 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,680 but a lot of times they don't do things on paper, 324 00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:12,240 and that's obvious. And some of the teams that rank 325 00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:14,720 and how they rank them, and who's in the playoffs 326 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,279 and who's not, and who's member of the SEC and 327 00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:21,200 the Big ten and who's not, it's I mean, eventually 328 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,279 we all see it. There's gonna be two Super conferences anyway, 329 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,799 and that's gonna be the SEC. It's gonna be like 330 00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:29,400 the AFC in the NFC in the NFL, and it's 331 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,960 gonna be SEC and Big ten whatever they're gonna call 332 00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:33,160 the Super Conferences. 333 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 3: At some point, there's just gonna be two. That's where 334 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,279 it's all going. 335 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:39,839 Speaker 2: I mean, everybody, the writing's on the wall, and so 336 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:43,160 you're gonna go from you've gone from P five to 337 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,559 P four, it'll be P two. Man, at some point 338 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,319 it's gonna be P two. I really do feel that way. 339 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,319 And so until that happens, man, it's I think it's 340 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,000 gonna be tough sledding for us to be a two 341 00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:02,920 lost team in the Big twelve and with and being 342 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,359 Bringham Young University. I think it's really difficult. 343 00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 3: Should we be? Yes? Will we be? I don't know 344 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,480 if we will be? 345 00:19:12,079 --> 00:19:16,079 Speaker 4: Unfortunately, Steve Clements, Ladies and gentlemen, Steve always appreciate our 346 00:19:16,079 --> 00:19:17,799 time together.
