43
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:55,680
a little bit of basketball. Look, I mean when you're

your school plays him and he runs you like one

46
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,719
hundred to like forty. I think I know a little

47
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:05,040
bit about ball and watching tape and being like I

48
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:07,200
wasn't good enough to get on the court that much,

49
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:08,719
but I watched a lot of people. I think I'm

50
00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:11,280
actually on Tyler you List's highlight tape. I think I

51
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,800
might have to go find it JT. But look, I

52
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,280

53
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:17,919
a little bit about ball. Appreciated with you, But let's

54
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,280
start here. I got to get your rent in at

55
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,960
the beginning rather than the end. Thanksgiving is this week?

56
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,520
What are you thankful for? And what piece of food

57
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:28,439
food item I guess at Thanksgiving is overrated? What would

58
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:31,039
you take off the menu?

59
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 4: Can I tell you Barry sauce is a waste of

60
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:39,560
space and so it's a naver on my menu? So

61
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,960
you know there's nothing to remove because it's already gone,

62
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,879
and so that would be mine.

63
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,479
Speaker 3: Okay, ALRIGHTY said it is already removed. Hey, I like short, simple,

64
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,360
to the to the point. I always asked that esqucially

65
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,240
around this week, what do you not want? What you

66
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,479
want off the table, and like, hey, it's not a problem.

67
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 4: I got a question for you, like, what what's the

68
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:01,840
perfect things getting played for you?

69
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 5: For me? You know, mashed potatoes. I'm not a gravy guy.

70
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,159
Uhshed potato really creamy? And then uh from there, I

71
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,199
like stuffing.

72
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,319
Speaker 6: And then let's see. I I like some My wife

Speaker 5: So we have those.

77
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 4: And then I'm gonna say, you know, turkey is always there.

78
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,199
I'm not a turkey guy. I'm a ham guy.

79
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: Ay man.

80
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,039

Speaker 3: I'm in charge of cooking the turkey this year. Shout

00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:00,400

89
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:03,000

90
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:05,759

129
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,120
I'm over here, like I need some food. I might

130
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,839
have to pull up to your house Thanksgiving for show.

131
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,560
You can put them out.

132
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:01,959
Speaker 2: We could train.

133
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: Actually, let's do what we would do in the hood.

134
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,399
That's what we would do where I'm from in Chicago.

135
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:08,639
We give each other a plate. We passed plates around.

136
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,439
That's what you do, exchange plates in the hood that houses,

137
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:12,920
that's what you do. Whether they be pies and go

138
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,720
mac and cheese, whatever it would be. So I'm gonna

139
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,839
bring you a plate, and i'might have to get a

140
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,720
player to you, especially if the twin is cooking up

141
00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:18,720
you know some stuff.

142
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, already know, man, you'd be pulling out of my

143
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,879
house dirt and Avinsky playoff style.

144
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 3: Baby, Hey, I just pray, I just pray my knees.

145
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:31,439
Hold up, you know, JT is like, let's get to basketball.

146
00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:33,279
We've talked of food, but it is the week of

147
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,920
giving b yu JT.

148
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:37,199
Speaker 2: Have they gived? Have they lived up to the expectation?

149
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 3: Know that they didn't get the game against Yukon, but

150
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:41,800
the way they battle back was phenomenal. Then they put

151
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,120
a they took Wisconsin behind the shed and just kept

152
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:46,879
laying on them over and over. And that was with

153
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,399
AJ having four fouls. What did you like about this

154
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,120
last victory?

155
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 4: Well, so, so I always say this is ron, you know,

156
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,839
and and I'll make I'll make a statement, and then

157
00:06:57,439 --> 00:06:58,639
I'll make a statement and.

158
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 5: Then I would love for you to got to it.

159
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 4: And this statement, this statement to you is BYU played

160
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Wisconsin seven months ago, roughly or so, in the NCAA

161
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:17,439
Tournament has Byu improved And it's my question for you Ron,

162
00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:24,399
has Byu improved drastically in that period or did Wisconsin just.

163
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 5: Get bad in that period or is it a little

164
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:27,519
bit of both.

165
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:28,399
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.

166
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,079
Speaker 3: I mean, look, John Tanjay's playing for the Jazz G

167
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,079
League team, so we got to give credit. Anytime you

168
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,959
drop thirty seven in a game and you score thirty

169
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:36,720
six in the first half, he got to tip your

170
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,480
hat to that guy. Look phenomenal basketball player. But they

171
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,879
still got John Blackwell, who's averaging about twenty a game.

172
00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:43,759
Spoke to Rob Right in the post game. They got

173
00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:45,800
Nick Boy, who balled out in San Diego State. They

174
00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:48,199
brought him over. He was he's been playing phenomenal. So no,

175
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,279
I don't think Wisconsin got bad. I think the team

176
00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:52,319
looks different, but they still are talented team. It was

177
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:53,680
a top twenty five team, So I don't want to

178
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,639
hear that argument from fans are from Badger fans of whoever.

179
00:07:56,759 --> 00:07:59,279
So I think Bay you got tremendously better aging and

180
00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:01,519
Rob Right alone is the end of discussion.

181
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,759
Speaker 2: So yes, be what you got better well?

182
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,319
Speaker 4: And I say that because you know, in the span

183
00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:11,279
of seven months, Buyu went from being neck and neck

184
00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:13,920
with Wisconsin to beat them by a thirty two at

185
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,879
a point now, you know, And.

186
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 5: So I think my point of asking you that is.

187
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 4: You know, can we say that this team has already

188
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,759
arrived and that.

189
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:30,839
Speaker 5: Their ascension is done? I certainly hope not.

190
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 4: Because it is the end of November and you don't

191
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,559
want to peak in November. But it is scary to

192
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,759
think that these guys have twenty five more games left

193
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:45,879
ahead of them and they're already peaking at this time.

194
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,960
Can you imagine if they keep this up, where they're

195
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,399
going to be in in the beginning of February?

196
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,039
Speaker 2: Goodness?

197
00:08:51,039 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 5: Can you imagine where they can get me, you know,

198
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,000
in March? Like are we are we?

199
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,159
Speaker 4: You know, are we starting to see what a dynasty

200
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:06,840
looks like? Of a Gonzaga esque run or a Baylor

201
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,200
esque run of sweet sixteens and Elite eights and final

202
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,360
fours all led by Kevin Young and co.

203
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 5: You know, like this is insane.

204
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 4: I mean to your point, you know, to see you know,

205
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,039
at the at the Wisconsin game and to see you know,

206
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,279
like Ritchie Saunders come to life and to see you know,

207
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:33,080
Dawson Baker and be effective and Robert Wright, you know,

208
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:37,039
just a little bit shy of a triple of a

209
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:38,240
triple double, and so.

210
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,279
Speaker 5: I think it's fantastic, right and you know.

211
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,399
Speaker 4: A j with a quiet eighteen points right, and so

212
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,120
a quiet eight t and six. And so you know,

213
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,919
I think just going out of the conversations that we've

214
00:09:53,919 --> 00:09:56,039
had round some of the things I want to touch

215
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,960
on is, uh, you know, offensive rebounds. You just it's

216
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,240
not doing a good job this year on defensive rebounds.

217
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,720
They gave up eleven offensive rebounds. That's another game of

218
00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:11,639
double figures on offensive rebounds. Giving up I'm that to

219
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:14,080
me is definitely a number that they need to work

220
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:20,639
on now. Conversely, eight turnovers, right, that's incredible. And then

221
00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:23,799
with shooting, with shooting breakdowns of forty eight from the field,

222
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:26,080
forty one from three, with seventy six from the free

223
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:28,679
throw line, it's going to be difficult to b B

224
00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:32,240
I U when they shoot you know, almost fifty percent

225
00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:35,159
from the field, over forty percent from three, and close

226
00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:36,799
to eighty percent from the three throw line.

227
00:10:36,799 --> 00:10:38,399
Speaker 5: And so you know, you look.

228
00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 4: At the Wisconsin game and you know it's a thirty

229
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,519
point gap. For lack of a better explanation and my gosh,

230
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,440
b I used to have a few things to clean on.

231
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,720
But you know, that's a scary team if you are

232
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,240
Houston and you are Arizona and Baylor, and you know,

233
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:57,279
and you're looking at like, well, you know, how are

234
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,080
things going?

235
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,639
Speaker 5: And you know the conference ranking and all of that.

236
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 4: You know, you look at Houston and you're like, oh, man,

237
00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:08,279
I don't know if this BYU team is beatable. And

238
00:11:08,639 --> 00:11:11,240
you know, and again, Houston under Ralph Simpson has been

239
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,799
a powerhousing. So lots to talk about, you know, in

240
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,559
regards to this YU team, but you know, the future

241
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:18,080
looks bright.

242
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:20,799
Speaker 2: Nonetheless, the future definitely is bright.

243
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: And look, what did you like from the bench specifically

244
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,919
you mentioned Dawson Baker. I've kind of got, you know,

245
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,240
got on board with you. Whatever the the the development

246
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,240
staff has done. Dawson Baker's shot looks amazing, Like I

247
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:37,399
can't even I don't even know what to say, Like

248
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,279
it looks more silky smooth than it did before. And

249
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,600
he just seems to be extremely confident now that he's

250
00:11:42,639 --> 00:11:44,799
fully healthy. But the bench, though, and that could include

251
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,759
Dawson of course, we know he's started in place of

252
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:47,720
Cannard who's still out.

253
00:11:47,759 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: No timeline yet. Maybe we'll hear something soon.

254
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 3: I'm still overly optimistic about what actually will all come

255
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,559
of this, and that they'll get Canari back sooner rather

256
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,120
than later. Bone stuff to wait for BYU to say something.

257
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,840
The point is JT. Dominic, d Monday Kadema boop. Look

258
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,080
when your best players on the on the bench with

259
00:12:04,159 --> 00:12:06,440
four thousand, Kevin Young says, I was scared.

260
00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 2: I didn't know actually how that was gonna go, and

261
00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:09,320
it worked.

262
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 3: Well, what did you like about who stepped up on

263
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,240
on Friday?

264
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 4: Well, so you know, I think it goes back to

265
00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:19,279
the conversation round then you me and de Hammer have

266
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:20,440
have been having.

267
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,799
Speaker 5: You know, doing basketball season and even a little bit before.

268
00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:26,399
Speaker 4: You know that the big three are going to get

269
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,960
about sixty percent of the points, right and so on

270
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,960
the night where they were at about fifty five percent,

271
00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:35,080
if I if I, if I remember the math correctly,

272
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,080
I actually loved the fact that you know that Dawson

273
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:42,240
stepped up big time. I love the fact that the bench,

274
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,360
you know, if you include Dawson, uh, the bench had

275
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,240
you know, forty points, which is you know, just looking

276
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:50,960
at they had they had pretty much the rest of

277
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,039
the points and so you know, proud of the way

278
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,639
that proud of the way that the bench stepped up.

279
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,720
And you know, I think it was you know, aside

280
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,360
from AJ four files and aside from kevas uh, you know,

281
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,159
only playing fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes because these are.

282
00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 5: Covering, right.

283
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: But I think that's as close to a perfect game

284
00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:18,039
for this squad, for this roster as you can get.

285
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,919
And uh, you know, I I'm I'm, I'm very satisfied

286
00:13:21,919 --> 00:13:26,039
with what I saw. And statistically, you know, again, when

287
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,399
you score, you know, when you outscore your opponents, you know,

288
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,360
by twelve and then by you know, almost you know,

289
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,480
for for for sixteen, it's difficult to find flaws.

290
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 5: But again, I think if BI you can figure it out.

291
00:13:40,919 --> 00:13:43,519
Speaker 4: The offensive rebound situation, they're gonna be set.

292
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're definitely gonna be set. Figuring out the offensive rebounds,

293
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,399
no doubt. I think that's the biggest thing. How do

294
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,480
you correct that, JT. I think it's easier said to zone, well,

295
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,919
just go box guys out, just be more physical. Look,

296
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,960
that's easier. It's not the symtom no. Right after the

297
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,399
last use one of the last u C l A Games.

298
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:04,759
The coach had a press conference. I said, you know,

299
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,799
I said, rebound is effort. It is you know, and

300
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,799
I forgot what he said.

301
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 4: It was here.

302
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 5: Let me let me make sure that I don't I

303
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,559
don't watch.

304
00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:19,919
Speaker 4: This, but he said, you know, rebound is effort, rebound

305
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:24,240
is hard work. And uh, and then he goes and uh,

306
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:26,200
you know, and.

307
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:28,399
Speaker 5: And God help if you don't have any of them, right.

308
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 4: I mean, at that point, you just braying for for

309
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,360
things to fall on your lap. But I thought, was,

310
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,159
you know, rebounding is one hundred percent effort. You're either

311
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,200
too cool or too salt or too lazy, you know,

312
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,200
God forbid, you're all you are all three at the

313
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,639
same time. And so you know, I I don't think

314
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:48,559
that it's a lack of effort. I just think it's

315
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,639
a lack of you know, being. I don't think, well,

316
00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:54,639
let me take that back. I don't think that they're lazy,

317
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,360
and I don't think they're acting acting cool. I think

318
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,480
it's a matter of can they be locked in at

319
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,720
every single and that is difficult to do. I get it,

320
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,080
I totally get it. But man, if this b YU

321
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,759
figures out how to give up. You know, around six

322
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:13,519
of less than five offensive rebounds a game.

323
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 5: Man, this comes to as close to.

324
00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 4: A perfect roster and execution and stats as you can get.

325
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,559
And so you know, to me is you know again,

326
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:29,000
it's a little bit of a detail, but it can

327
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,919
be a detail that hurts you, especially at a one

328
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,159
and done game, you know what I mean?

329
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, a one and done game definitely can know, definitely

330
00:15:37,919 --> 00:15:38,279
hurts you.

331
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,759
Speaker 2: So you gotta be gotta be careful.

332
00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:42,519
Speaker 3: Got to be on point here with Jonathan Tavinari, former

333
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,320
BAU basketball great our ESPN the Fan College of Basketball

334
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,919
analysts catching them every.

335
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: Tuesday throughout the football season.

336
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,519
Speaker 3: And we'll move to Mondays want to basketball season starts

337
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:53,240
to ramp up a little bit more. Let's turn our

338
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:57,840
attention now JT to the Terries Chocolate Invitational BYU plays Miami.

339
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,679
I mean, depending how football goes, b A, you might

340
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,240
play Miami in basketball and football. I guess we'll just

341
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,440
have to wait and see on that. Football fans are

342
00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:06,279
not liking that I'm saying that, but it doesn't matter.

343
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,759
What is your prediction of this game coming up on Thursday?

344
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:12,679
Give us a quick scot of report on Miami, Like

345
00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:15,120
You've already mentioned an offensive rebounds regardless of who the

346
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,799
team is, But how do you see this one playing

347
00:16:16,799 --> 00:16:17,639
out on Thanksgiving?

348
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:20,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so I will say this right, I mean,

349
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:22,320
you look at Miami, who they played.

350
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 5: So far, hadn't really played anybody.

351
00:16:25,159 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: You know, all of their games have been blowout So

352
00:16:27,279 --> 00:16:29,720
this is their first real test, back to back games

353
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,120
against buy U and O Miss, and so you know

354
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:35,759
Miami is going to have a rude awakening, and so.

355
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 5: It will be interesting to see how they step up.

356
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,399
Speaker 4: The only matchup that they've had that's been a real

357
00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:46,200
matchup has been against number ten Florida, and so you

358
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,000
know it will be it will be to me looking

359
00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:51,960
at the way the team is. You know, they have

360
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,639
a couple of forwards that are really really good guards

361
00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:59,720
that are lightning quick and so, but you know they

362
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:03,159
also have a big three, almost a big four that

363
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,839
they have four guys on double figures, and so you

364
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,799
know that their team is spread out and they have

365
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:16,200
they have a solid player. I think it's uh uh yeah, Renaut,

366
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,880
like the car brand, and so I think you know

367
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,400
it's gonna be a fun game, a fun matchup.

368
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,319
Speaker 5: I think AJ is gonna have a really good.

369
00:17:24,519 --> 00:17:25,839
Speaker 4: It will be good to see a j on the

370
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:30,000
defensive side of things, along with Richie, along with Dominique,

371
00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:33,400
you know, having to step up and play some defense.

372
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,559
Speaker 5: You know. I think Dominique fits a little bit of that.

373
00:17:36,759 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 4: Mag role that we're talking about, you know, And I

374
00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:41,880
said it, you know, I think Canard is a great player.

375
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,759
Speaker 5: We all know the value. He was a starter, you know,

376
00:17:45,319 --> 00:17:46,359
but if there ever was.

377
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 4: Someone that you were like, oh geez, who could we

378
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,319
make it without?

379
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,559
Speaker 5: You know, again, take this as a grain of salt.

380
00:17:54,599 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 4: I'm not I hope he doesn't come across his criticism wrong.

381
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,240
And again, you know, the kid is is dealing with

382
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,720
the things as he's dealing. But d y U has

383
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:10,240
all the pieces to replace canards impact in the game,

384
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:15,720
right with Dominique and with Dawson and that sort of thing,

385
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:17,640
you know.

386
00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:21,519
Speaker 5: And so I I see a big game for Dominique

387
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:22,119
where he's.

388
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 4: Gonna have to step up defensively and we'll see how

389
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,319
that's gonna pan out.

390
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're definitely gonna have to step up. Yeah, I mean,

391
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,680
if other pieces are able to step up and start performing,

392
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,640
that just is gonna prove the Kevin points point of

393
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,440
everybody we brought here for a reason. In the Wisconsin game,

394
00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:39,839
right now, the Canard Davis junior piece, you know you

395
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,079
it's not showing that you miss him yet. I hate

396
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:43,680
to say that that sounds really rude. I hope people

397
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,799
don't fel like I awesome and harpin. But you've been

398
00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:47,680
able to do it and it will showcase more this week.

399
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,240
But if you come out to and oh it's like okay,

400
00:18:50,319 --> 00:18:51,960
well you might be able to play with them for

401
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,240
out a while, and obviously want you to get the

402
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,799
conmerce play, we'll see. But right now they're they're cooking,

403
00:18:56,519 --> 00:18:58,119
cooking with you know, with gas. A lot of people like,

404
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,400
why did you say gas? It's oil peanut oil. Not

405
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,000
gonna get into that. That's a conversation for a different day.

406
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,400
But no, you mentioned it is Miami team formidable. Malik

407
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,720
Renot he averages twenty one and a half and then

408
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,559
Trey Donaldson's behind him with seventeen and like you mentioned

409
00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:14,680
offensive rebounds, you better rebound this. This Miami team grabbing

410
00:19:14,759 --> 00:19:18,160
forty one boards per game. But the guy you talked about, AJ,

411
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,119
let's get you out of here on this because we

412
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,000
do have to end turn it over to UVU basketball

413
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:22,640
and I'll get.

414
00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:24,519
Speaker 2: Killed if I go for a time. What does that

415
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,039
say about?

416
00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 3: AJ was three of eight but finished with eighteen points,

417
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,160
eleven to twelve from the freakent line, drew eight fouls

418
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:30,839
JT in that.

419
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 4: Game, Dad, he probably sleeps in the hyperbaric chamber because

420
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,759
if he is able to do Dad night in and

421
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,920
night out, his body's.

422
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:44,279
Speaker 5: Gonna take a toll. But you don't see it, you don't.

423
00:19:44,319 --> 00:19:46,559
Speaker 4: Like you look at him and you're like, I'm good,

424
00:19:46,599 --> 00:19:48,119
I'm ready to go what you need me to do.

425
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,559
Speaker 5: And so what a phenomenal young man. You know, great parents.

426
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 4: You know, I haven't had a chance to meet eighties personally,

427
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,759
but I hear wonderful things about him. And you know

428
00:20:01,759 --> 00:20:04,400
everything about AJ is doing the right thing.

429
00:20:04,759 --> 00:20:07,839
Speaker 5: You know, knows how to move, and you know on

430
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:08,720
and off the court.

431
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 4: You know, just again, you know, everything we see it

432
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,079
from AJ we've never seen before. With View all your hoops,

433
00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:16,559
I don't care who you are, I don't care what

434
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,440
you did. And it's rarefied air, and you know every

435
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,960
day is a new piece of history that he's riding

436
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,079
for View all your basketball.

437
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely a new piece of history, no doubt.

438
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 3: So look, if they're on their way slowly, but sure,

439
00:20:29,799 --> 00:20:31,759
like you said, don't play your best basketball now, But

440
00:20:31,799 --> 00:20:34,440
a couple of wins do matter if I was looking correctly,

441
00:20:35,079 --> 00:20:37,799
over the next month until non conference is an opportunity

442
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,960
right now, currently about four or five Quad one wins

443
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,359
and about one or two Quad two wins. So you

444
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,480
take care of business even with that Yukon loss, and

445
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,119
depending where Yukon is and how Arizona's looked, you go

446
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,039
into conference play JT. I think they're setting themselves up

447
00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:53,839
directly as we talked about, for a top four seed

448
00:20:54,079 --> 00:20:55,200
come March, no doubt.

449
00:20:56,279 --> 00:20:58,039
Speaker 5: Well at minimum, I will say that.

450
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 4: You know, I think it will be difficult to see

451
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,799
by U as not one of the top sixteen teams

452
00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:04,359
come March, and.

453
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 5: So I think they're ceiling. I think their potential is

454
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,000
much higher than that.

455
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,319
Speaker 4: And so but again, you know, if you know, if

456
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,319
if if if some butts were candy and nuts, all,

457
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,160
what a Christmas we would have, right, And so it's true,

458
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,599
you know, potential has to be materialized, but I think

459
00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:24,359
it's by your team has a chance to do it.

460
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,319
Speaker 3: Hey, like Andy Retail, Patrick Holmes said, when is grim

461
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,519
be the grim Reaper a j It's okay to be

462
00:21:29,599 --> 00:21:32,119
on the buyu's nice list, but hey, if you got

463
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,200

464
00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:36,839

480
00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 4: I wrote a piece for the Salid Tribune a couple

481
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,559
of years ago after I became a naturalized and they

482
00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:35,720
you know, I wrote something there that there really shows

483
00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:39,200
my love for Utah, and I said, you know, Utah

484
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,279
is my Ellis Island and the Rocky Mountains. My lady

485
00:22:43,319 --> 00:22:45,759
Liberty now tell me that that doesn't sound poetic.

486
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 5: My brother, that.

487
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: Does sound sound poetic, no doubt.

488
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 5: And so it's and so I appreciate. I just want

489

Speaker 4: Vic.

550
00:25:16,759 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 3: Don't know if you heard the comments in the opening,

551
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,440
but Kalani Sataki addressed us yesterday the media a couple

552
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,640
of recaps for the fans. Bear was grimacing on television.

553
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,839
Took some hits. He said, I think the biggest thing

554
00:25:28,839 --> 00:25:30,920
out of everything that was said, he liked the physicality

555
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,720
and Bear said, Bear's fine. But Chase Roberts right, amstring

556
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,960
injury when you're a wide receiver, those soft tissue injuries

557
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,640
is not what you want. Brandacy Gurney who joined us

558
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:42,920
in the first hour, him and I are both of

559
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,000
the same opinion. I'll get your thoughts on the matter.

560
00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:47,599
We believe Chase shouldn't play. You have enough in the

561
00:25:47,599 --> 00:25:50,920
wide receiver room with LJ with Bear. Look, I've said

562
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,160
the Parker Kingson is evolving and emerging and you know,

563
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,240
solidifying himself as a BONAFI wide receiver number one. He

564
00:25:57,559 --> 00:25:59,759
with Tiger Bachmeyer, even though him and Bear haven't really

565
00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:02,119
can acted the way you would have liked, maybe them

566
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,480
to have hoped with Carson Ryan, with Cody Hagen, with

567
00:26:05,599 --> 00:26:09,720
Josiah Phillips, Reggie vershant not gonna play. Remind people's playing

568
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,359
in four games. They want to preserve their red shirt.

569
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,839
That should be enough, VIC should be should be yep,

570
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,680
So so you gotta get your I'll ask you the

571
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,599
clarative question, should Chase Roberts play Saturday?

572
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:21,559
Speaker 2: Yes or no? Why or why not?

573
00:26:21,839 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: No?

574
00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: I don't think you should either.

575
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:27,279
Speaker 7: Think you should rest it, get ready for Texas Tech

576
00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:28,759
and uh get.

577
00:26:28,759 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 3: Which is what everybody's expecting, right, expecting to be Tech

578
00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:33,319
that they got to take care of business against West Virginia,

579
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,240
right right, right, And again, you just want to keep

580
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,079
the nature of that because the Red Raiders shocked the

581
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,839
world when Kansas State fumbled the bag two years ago.

582
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,519
Remember no one thought that, So it can happen, but

583
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:45,880
least likely to happen.

584
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,839
Speaker 7: Or whoever they play, Yeah, because they're gonna win this

585
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,119
game and they all need Chase. They need Chase in

586
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,200
the in the Big twelve championship game.

587
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: They need all.

588
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,559
Speaker 7: Their big players to play well in that game to

589
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,599
beat oh whoever they're going to play, but also to

590
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,359
show the country in the national media that you know.

591
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:06,039
Speaker 2: They're for real.

592
00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look they are for real. But the national

593
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,599
media likes the style points. They want to say they

594
00:27:11,599 --> 00:27:13,359
got dominated on both sides of the ball. They want

595
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,720
to add all these things whatever they want to it

596
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:19,279
to justify their reasoning of getting more SEC and Big

597
00:27:19,319 --> 00:27:21,680
ten teams. We know that they run the place. We

598
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:23,319
know that they have the TV odds. They want to

599
00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:26,039
see entertainment, competitive nature, that's what they want to see.

600
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,799
They want to see all of that. So we'll find

601
00:27:27,839 --> 00:27:29,480
out more letter. But let's get back into the sound.

602
00:27:29,599 --> 00:27:32,759
Let's get to number ten. I believe it is Kalani.

603
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,039
In addition to getting seniors that will be playing their

604
00:27:37,079 --> 00:27:40,160
last game at UCF, how are you going to balance

605
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,839
as well getting guys that plan on red shirting as well?

606
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:49,759
Speaker 8: The red shirts, I mean, they're given the four games,

607
00:27:49,759 --> 00:27:52,599
and so we have some guys that are already at

608
00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:57,200
their four game max. So you know, those guys will

609
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,519
will honor their red shirt and then you know, if

610
00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:04,400
we are able to we can they can play in

611
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,240
in you know, in the postseason. So so that's what

612
00:28:08,279 --> 00:28:10,480
you know, that's what we're gonna be doing. Everything's been

613
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,799
you know, we've been just strategic about how much we

614
00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:17,400
want to use them and win and and we'll continue

615
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,880
to do that. There's a number of guys that fit

616
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:19,680
in that category.

617
00:28:20,279 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: There are a number of guys Victor f the category.

618
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,519
I named one toll keep naming it. Reggie Frishnek one

619
00:28:24,519 --> 00:28:28,599
of those guys. Look be what he wants to be,

620
00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:30,599
able to redshirt you and they want you to be

621
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,839
to get that development, get that extra year. So I

622
00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:34,440
don't think you're going to see him against c C. If

623
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,119
I could be wrong, very well could be. But they

624
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,640
liked that red shirt year. They've done it with a

625
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,000
lot of people, did it with Jake, right, they will

626
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:41,880
So did.

627
00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:44,759
Speaker 7: I just hear Colonie say that the guys who have

628
00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:48,519
played four games throughout the season, Uh, they can play

629
00:28:48,759 --> 00:28:51,599
if they played for they can't play in the champion Yeah.

630
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 3: So what has been communicated across pretty much all of

631
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,039
college football is that's not the regular season, So gotcha

632
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,519
big to championship game not a part of the regular season, right,

633
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,680
that's your award for getting to the conference championship game,

634
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,960
even though it's still in your season. It's not a

635
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,079
part of the regular season. The twelve games that you're given.

636
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,839
Anything outside of that is considered extra conference championship. All

637
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,720
the bowl games, college football playoff extra does not count

638
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,000
against it. What's been communicated to Jay Hill. We heard

639
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,599
from that sound two weeks ago. He said the same thing. So, yes,

640
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,880
all of those players can play. So this is gonna

641
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,640
be phenomenal for those BAU players. Absolutely, those don't count.

642
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,119
So you can. Tommy Prass I believe, will play.

643
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

644
00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:33,519
Speaker 3: You know, look, Jay Hill said he was one of

645
00:29:33,519 --> 00:29:36,480
the guys that gonna red shirt. He is, and look

646
00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:38,480
he's gonna be like Tommy's gonna be back. He's gonna

647
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,000
play in the big toev had a game. The question

648
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,960
is where they gonna play. And they're gonna play them a

649
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,119
little bit of Nickels safety because that's not gonna count.

650
00:29:44,279 --> 00:29:46,359
Same thing depending where ba he goes, because they're gonna

651
00:29:46,359 --> 00:29:48,119
get a bowl game, if not go to the college

652
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:48,920
football playoffs.

653
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,319
Speaker 2: So that and more so this that is gonna happen.

654
00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 3: I just want people to be aware of that does

655
00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:57,119
not count towards any status, which is huge. I think

656
00:29:57,119 --> 00:29:59,319
it's a great thing that you're doing this for college football.

657
00:29:59,319 --> 00:30:02,720
This should be allowed for or honestly any sports that

658
00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:05,720
want to take away eligibility because it's not the regular season,

659
00:30:05,759 --> 00:30:08,480
it's extras the postseason. This is why tail fans when

660
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,200
they're like, oh, well you won that game you were

661
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,960
twelve and one, I mean, yeah, it's a bowl winning

662
00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:14,720
it counts, but like, no, like the double digit win

663
00:30:14,839 --> 00:30:17,200
season is like the season that you have. Granted, you're

664
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,720
gonna count that and put that in there because you're

665
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,319
still playing. Any counts. But to me, that's why I

666
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:23,359
don't count it also as a win. Does that make

667
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,759
sense in my book, because like, okay, if it's not

668
00:30:25,759 --> 00:30:27,960
gonna take away the eligibility and it's extra sows that

669
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,200
bowl game, that bowl games extra even though you're gonna

670
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,440
add it onto the resume, which I understand. I totally

671
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,000
understand why, even though I have my difference of opinions

672
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,920
about it, but not here to argue. Let's get back

673
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,400
to the sound though number eleven Kilane, you had the

674
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,480
chance to coach a lot of good running backs in

675
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:46,640
your time here at byu L. Jim Barton also on

676
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,920
the list, and he's the latest. What has been the

677
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,599
biggest change as he's leveled up from last year to

678
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:52,000
this year.

679
00:30:55,599 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 8: I think you know he's still young. I mean he's uh,

680
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,200
he's a true junior. So it didn't red shirt. He

681
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,599
played right away, and so I mean, and so when

682
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,119
you're you know, you've coming along and the biggest thing

683
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,720
I've seen is at this comfort level with the offense

684
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,519
he I mean, it's not not he's not learning anymore.

685
00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:20,279
This is stuff that he knows really well. And then

686
00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:23,920
he's also giving you know, some advice on what he

687
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,640
wants and what he wants to do and type of

688
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,079
runs that he likes. I mean, it's nice when we're

689
00:31:28,079 --> 00:31:30,480
in time out and we can sit there and look

690
00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:32,160
at him and say what do you like and he's

691
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,240
kind of like, I like everything, but this is, you know,

692
00:31:35,359 --> 00:31:38,079
what we're good at, and so he's it's it's nice

693
00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:40,880
to have him, you know, be part of that. And

694
00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:42,720
when you're brand new to it, I think a lot

695
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,200
of times you're still trying to learn it and you're

696
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,880
just trusting it. Now he's owning it, and he has

697
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,920
a he has to say on what he wants to

698
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,960
do and when he wants to do it, you know.

699
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,480
So you know, he wanted to run the ball a lot,

700
00:31:55,519 --> 00:32:00,240
and we gave him what thirty two runs, So I

701
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,240
think we can trust him. He's a he's a team leader.

702
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:05,759
It's floted captain by all his peers, and so to

703
00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:09,440
see the growth that he's been able to make from

704
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,079
when he first got here as a true freshman and

705
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,000
to where he's at now it has been awesome. And

706
00:32:14,039 --> 00:32:16,519
then he keeps growing in begetting better every day.

707
00:32:17,559 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: I think it's a huge vict look. And here's why

708
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,960
I'm going to point this out. When you're in huddles

709
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:23,640
right and this is where the game starts to slow

710
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,519
down for a lot of people. Ben would say this

711
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,920
probably I can speak this from playing rugby, having played

712
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,400
against Saint Mary's first year. Will you play right away?

713
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,559
Or if you're red shirting, still sped up, still learning,

714
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,119
But once you get further into it, it does start

715
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,640
to slow down. When you're able to go and say hey, no,

716
00:32:38,759 --> 00:32:42,200
let's run this like and I remember this was like okay,

717
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,079
it clicked for me and rugby when I saw what

718
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,880
other teams are running, like, oh they're running this sword

719
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,359
or when this one team had its sword, they're running sword.

720
00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:50,839
And when I could beat you to the spot in

721
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,960
the pattern started to play in my brain and I

722
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,759
started to pick it up and I started to know, okay,

723
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,759
now I can do this. Now the skill set comes out,

724
00:32:56,799 --> 00:32:59,119
you can freelance. So for them to say that, LJ

725
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,960
can go to huddles and say, well, like everything, I

726
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,039
don't have a problem, but we're good at running, you know,

727
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,519
behind Bruce Mitchell and Austin Leus and you know, and

728
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,839
Kyle Safarchok, like, let's do that. Let's run in between

729
00:33:10,119 --> 00:33:11,799
the center and the guard and let's run people. And

730
00:33:11,839 --> 00:33:13,640
if we need to run out off tackle, we can.

731
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,000
And once I get to the second level, I'm very dangerous.

732
00:33:16,039 --> 00:33:18,240
Now he's probably thinking that, or he's been humble or not.

733
00:33:18,319 --> 00:33:20,640
But the point is he's able to go now like

734
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,039
KLINI just mentioned in that huddle and do that. And yeah,

735
00:33:23,079 --> 00:33:26,519
he is still young like age wise, but like experience wise,

736
00:33:26,599 --> 00:33:28,359
LG has been playing since he got it.

737
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: He's a vet like he's not. He's not young like

738
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:31,960
experience wise.

739
00:33:32,079 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 5: LJ.

740
00:33:32,319 --> 00:33:34,559
Speaker 3: Martin has played three years of collegiate football. And if

741
00:33:34,599 --> 00:33:36,319
you have to think this, vict I'm not saying he

742
00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:38,880
would have had it, but how close could he have

743
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,200
been to maybe three thousand yard seasons if he didn't

744
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,960
get hurt. Now, I might not do it in that

745
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,359
first season, but he might get to it in that

746
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,680
second and he definitely got to it in that third

747
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,759
and that's why I think when you see how physical

748
00:33:49,799 --> 00:33:52,000
of a runner he is. And RG three says something,

749
00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:54,400
I need to go find it on Twitter. But basically

750
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,680
he said, and you might have it, Vic and if

751
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,359
you do, put it up. But he was talking about LG. Martin,

752
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,839
the way he's running, how he was impressive to the

753
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,200
thirty two scouts like to have that quote like you do,

754
00:34:05,359 --> 00:34:06,279
like I'm gonna read that right.

755
00:34:06,279 --> 00:34:08,079
Speaker 2: This is what RG three said. He said, LJ.

756
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 3: Martin has established himself as one of the best running

757
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,679
backs in the country and a player NFL scouts have

758
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,480
told me, and I think he meant to say NFL

759
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,440
scouts a players, that's what he's saying, have told me

760
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,159
they love Capital with the word love LJ. Going Bismoke

761
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,039
Capital with Bismode for two hundred and twenty two yards

762
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:30,519
on thirty two carries and being BYU's leading rusher and

763
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,480
receiver against Cincinnati only solidified that even more.

764
00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 2: He is special. Robert Griffin the third.

765
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,039
Speaker 7: You know that from when we saw him at first

766
00:34:39,079 --> 00:34:42,159
in camp, numbering man he prepared for this season?

767
00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:45,159
Speaker 2: Did he got right? But off he remember we saw

768
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,119
him and go, oh he looks good.

769
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 3: No, he did, like when I saw him, like, man,

770
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,840
he looks like an NFL running back, not that he

771
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,039
didn't before, but you know, again, that's the body eighteen nineteen,

772
00:34:54,119 --> 00:34:56,119
So I can't even imagine what bear's gonna look like

773
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,400
right at eighteen or not.

774
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:58,559
Speaker 2: Like you have to think, like, all right, what's that

775
00:34:58,599 --> 00:34:59,079
going to look like?

776
00:34:59,079 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 3: And this is the nature because a lot of guys

777
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,400
come back from missions right vic the body's already defined

778
00:35:03,679 --> 00:35:04,119
other things.

779
00:35:04,159 --> 00:35:06,079
Speaker 2: But I'm like, wow, what is what does this do?

780
00:35:06,199 --> 00:35:06,760
Go look like?

781
00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 5: Man?

782
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 3: Eighteen nineteen to twenty, Like you're like, oh, man, this

783
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,679
is gonna be good. So look, at the end of

784
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,679
the day, learned it because he went to work. He

785
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,159
did what I mean. And it's gonna go back to

786
00:35:16,159 --> 00:35:18,760
Ben's Ben's first interview. You'd have to find it on

787
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,760
Ben's page, but it's out there and it's on the podcast.

788
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,480
But Tommy Prass has said LJ. Martin he's a really

789
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,280
hard worker, like everybody. When I asked him, and when

790
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,480
Ben asked, when we were down there, even when you asked.

791
00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:29,559
Speaker 2: In the general.

792
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,199
Speaker 3: Availability sessions to players and coaches, LG. Martin has been

793
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,400
one of the toughest, if not hardest worker. I can

794
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,840
get my tap to the hap to him and it's showcasing.

795
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,079
Now you're seeing that one and thirty four yards in

796
00:35:41,159 --> 00:35:43,400
counting and age Russ touched a beau.

797
00:35:44,119 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 2: That's why he's voted to captain.

798
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, and they kept on saying, you know, when we'd

799
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,760
ask him about LJ, they kept on saying, he worked

800
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,079
his butt off. We saw him you know in the uh,

801
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,800
Jim working his tail off, and uh, let me tell

802
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:03,000
you that. Hell that helps when they're his teammates see

803
00:36:03,039 --> 00:36:05,639
him work that hard. And now see what he's doing

804
00:36:05,679 --> 00:36:08,719
on the field, I'll tell you that that sets a

805
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,000
precedent there.

806
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 3: It definitely does. It definitely sets the president and everybody's

807
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,719
gonna see it. Everybody knows it. So shout out to

808
00:36:16,119 --> 00:36:17,159
LJ Martin working hard.

809
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 2: Guys.

810
00:36:17,519 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 3: Look, I wasn't saying it because I don't want LJ

811
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,440
back selfish. Leave me to be at a cover of

812
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,440
good running back for this to see that with my

813
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,400
own eyes, I would love to see LJ for another year.

814
00:36:25,559 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 2: Yep.

815
00:36:26,119 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 3: Use the word love like RG three is, but from

816
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,039
the standpoint of production and how well he is and

817
00:36:31,079 --> 00:36:34,039
it's his time his time is now like Johnson, and

818
00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:36,679
my time is now like Michael Jordan. The last dance

819
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,400
is coming. Hey, LJ, my grace shush with his presence

820
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,039
one last time at Lavell. Look, I'd be surprised if

821
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:45,719
LJ was not honored. So something tells me that. And

822
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,760
again teasing what I teased earlier, Let's get to number

823
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,719
twelve for guys like him, Kalina. You know that he's

824
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,519
a junior. He might have a decision after this year

825
00:36:54,519 --> 00:36:57,719
to make. Do you, coach Unga Roderick, talk to him

826
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,840
now about that or do you wait until after this

827
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,320
Heason's over to have that conversation.

828
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 8: No, we've been talking about about him and his situation

829
00:37:05,599 --> 00:37:10,519
the entire year, so we weren't. If you're gonna be

830
00:37:10,519 --> 00:37:12,719
a there's there are phases and when you want to

831
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,280
do that. But we know he's the next level player,

832
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,239
and we you know he he doesn't even want to

833
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,320
take or care about that right now. He wants to

834
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,159
win this week, and that's what I appreciate about him.

835
00:37:23,159 --> 00:37:27,320
But yeah, we we have to as a head coach

836
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,480
and as coaches for us, we want what's best for

837
00:37:29,519 --> 00:37:33,920
our young men. And you know, if if guys feel

838
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,400
like there's a chance that they may be able to

839
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,000
go uh to the league early. Then we want them

840
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:42,599
to walk this weekend and and worst case scenario they

841
00:37:42,639 --> 00:37:46,119
get they get two senior blankets.

842
00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 3: Worst like we said earlier, right Vic, worst guts Inario,

843
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,320
they get to give them to give him to of

844
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,280
course you're gonna be suffishould say give me two. Look, Vic,

845
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,760
it don't always go the way to always give what

846
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,760
we wants, even if you've been even if you haven't

847
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,119
been naughty and you've been nice, that's just not how

848
00:38:05,159 --> 00:38:09,119
it gives. We can be grateful for him, You can

849
00:38:09,159 --> 00:38:11,760
be grateful. You better be grateful now for LJ. For

850
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,400
the four star at l Passo, because you might not

851
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,800
get him back.

852
00:38:17,039 --> 00:38:21,679
Speaker 7: With those kids who have committed to Stanford and have

853
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,000
decided to come to BYU have sure helped this program.

854
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,519
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, you bring up a good point, Vic, and

855
00:38:28,559 --> 00:38:30,400
I'm glad that you brought that up. Let's actually talk

856
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,519
a little bit about that right now. Shout out to

857
00:38:32,559 --> 00:38:33,320
you on that point.

858
00:38:33,639 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 2: LJ.

859
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 3: Bear Tiger Noucy even was recruited by Stanford. And that's

860
00:38:42,519 --> 00:38:44,000
why going back to way earlier, and this is why

861
00:38:44,039 --> 00:38:45,760
you bring everything full circle and shout out to you

862
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,079
and bringing that. That's why the game against Stanford was

863
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,559
you know, it was imperative that they got that win.

864
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 2: It was.

865
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 3: It was so important because that win against Stanford solidified

866
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,880
to those who are high level, high and election to

867
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,320
the Jews and that are extremely athletic and that can

868
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,320
play football at high level, that are P four material,

869
00:39:05,519 --> 00:39:09,840
three four five stars. Hey BYU is the place that

870
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:14,880
can non Stanford contributed like Noosy contributing. He had a

871
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,719
little bit of a needed recovery surgery on the achilles

872
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,719
that was per what his interview, what he told Ben right.

873
00:39:21,199 --> 00:39:23,440
But ever since the hadn't been a stud ce Alias

874
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:24,679
Aerra has been playing phenomenal.

875
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,119
Speaker 2: Bear has been phenomenal.

876
00:39:26,519 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 3: Maybe Tiger hasn't performed the way you want, but look

877
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,119
at that LG has been phenomenal. So at the end

878
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:33,400
of the day, like you said, those Stanford recruits that

879
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,519
have come in, I've done that. So a shout out

880
00:39:36,519 --> 00:39:40,199
to look, that's all I gotta say is just shout

881
00:39:40,199 --> 00:39:41,000
out to LJ.

882
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:41,559
Speaker 2: And what he's doing.

883
00:39:41,639 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 3: Let's go to number thirteen, Kilanie, last two questions before

884
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,199
we let you go out of here.

885
00:39:45,519 --> 00:39:48,519
Speaker 2: LJ had thirty two carries. Is that the limit you

886
00:39:48,559 --> 00:39:53,599
can give him? Or can a guy like him do more? Kilanie?

887
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,119
Speaker 8: No, he could do more. He knows that too. We

888
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:04,559
just the question is when and how? And his body

889
00:40:04,599 --> 00:40:07,039
is feeling great. I mean, when you run that much,

890
00:40:07,039 --> 00:40:09,400
you're gonna get and and he just didn't just run,

891
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,920
he was physical. So yeah, you're gonna get a little,

892
00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:16,559
you know, a little sore and all that, but it's

893
00:40:16,599 --> 00:40:19,400
gonna feel good. And nobody was happier than him after

894
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,320
the game, you know. So, Uh, if you give him

895
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,480
the ball that many times, he's gonna do things with it.

896
00:40:25,519 --> 00:40:29,039
That's that's unique and special. And and he's in the

897
00:40:29,119 --> 00:40:34,360
right mindset and right I guess right feel with his body.

898
00:40:34,079 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: That he can do that right fit right Phil?

899
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,199
Speaker 3: For his body? Is that the right one? Do you

900
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,639
want him doing that? I mean it sounds like that's

901
00:40:41,679 --> 00:40:43,880
the it's going. Okay, that's what they want, So we'll

902
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,800
find out. We'll find out if I'm just gonna get

903
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,280
the same low carry this Saturday, Vic, You hope not.

904
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,280
You know, you want him to rest up, but he's

905
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:53,719
gonna be up for it. He's not gonna say no

906
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,920
to thirty thirty plus carries, ask the kid. But sometimes

907
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,920
you want to. Again, I always say, you want when

908
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,199
you got those dogs the room, you want to be easy,

909
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,079
easy here, easy, totect them little bit well, and you

910
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:04,760
want to protect them.

911
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 2: But you want to see. What I'm saying is you want.

912
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,159
Speaker 3: To Hey, hey, I gotta pull you back. I know you,

913
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,079
I know you want to. I know you want to smoke.

914
00:41:10,119 --> 00:41:12,800
But relax, my friends. So that that's That's more of

915
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,199
what I'm saying. But yeah, look, b why you even

916
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,679
without Chase, this game should be wrapped up by the

917
00:41:19,679 --> 00:41:21,480
fourth quarter. Yeah, you should be able to blow you

918
00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:24,440
CF out before the third quarter. And I'm serious after

919
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,119
the first driving the fourth quarter, all the starters should

920
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:29,079
be pulled and McKay hill's stead in the backup should

921
00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:30,039
go in an expense.

922
00:41:30,159 --> 00:41:32,639
Speaker 2: I think our defense is going to lay the way

923
00:41:32,119 --> 00:41:33,400
they should.

924
00:41:33,639 --> 00:41:36,079
Speaker 3: Like, if you're the defense, you should be like, we

925
00:41:36,159 --> 00:41:39,159
need to outscore the offense in the first half. I'm serious, Like,

926
00:41:39,159 --> 00:41:41,559
if you're the defense, you're like, scoop and score, ye

927
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,239
strip sacks, scoop and score and pick six. You gotta

928
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,079
be like, we're putting fourteen points on the board. We

929
00:41:46,159 --> 00:41:48,360
either are going to score more or match the offense.

930
00:41:48,639 --> 00:41:49,639
This game should be put away.

931
00:41:49,639 --> 00:41:50,079
Speaker 2: I'm serious.

932
00:41:50,119 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 3: And that special team from special team, maybe one from

933
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,519
special teams, you know, like if you're special teams in

934
00:41:55,559 --> 00:41:58,079
the defense, you're looking at this uc of game of saying, Okay,

935
00:41:58,159 --> 00:42:01,519
we got some guys banged up, valid, but this game

936
00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:02,800
is gonna be put away in the in the in

937
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,719
the second quarter early too. We're gonna be up twenty

938
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,360
eight to zero, maybe even thirty one to zero. You

939
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,679
needn't make it like the TCU game. Yeah, you see,

940
00:42:10,679 --> 00:42:12,840
have his nose business being in here. It doesn't matter

941
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,320
if it's gonna be early, kickoff sunny for the Florida boys.

942
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 2: Let them know.

943
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 3: And like Gurney said in the First Star, I believe

944
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,920
that this game is twenty one nothing, twenty four nothing,

945
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,119
twenty one, twenty four to three. They're like, yeah, that's

946
00:42:22,119 --> 00:42:24,039
it been a good season. I think they tapped because

947
00:42:24,039 --> 00:42:26,639
when you know you're on the brink, it's like and again,

948
00:42:26,679 --> 00:42:28,760
it'd be different if they had this game at home, right,

949
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,079
it's not Alabama traveling to all burn and iron Ball

950
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,960
you need that one, by the way, Yeah, it's if

951
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,199
you when you're on the road in a hostile environment,

952
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,440
two time zones away against a team that is a

953
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,760
one win away on their senior day from going to

954
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,960
the Big Teal title. All odds are against you. So

955
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,199
we'll find out last one to Kliney, we'll get you

956
00:42:45,199 --> 00:42:48,159
out of here on this number fourteen. Assuming you have

957
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,840
this game and control on Saturday, would you give thought

958
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,679
to resting guys and as you get control of the

959
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:54,840
game or letting the backups play.

960
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,519
Speaker 8: Well, you've been around me long enough. Now you think

961
00:42:58,559 --> 00:43:01,400
I'm gonna rest guy and give the backups a chance

962
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,599
to play, or that's what you've seen from me right

963
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,719
that that's so yeah, that that's uh. But let's take

964
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,599
care of the game. Let's let's get to the game first.

965
00:43:09,639 --> 00:43:15,000
I can never assume anything in any game. So I

966
00:43:15,039 --> 00:43:17,559
heard the questions. I mean, every game is close in

967
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,119
the Big twelve, and I'm not I'm not saying that

968
00:43:20,159 --> 00:43:21,800
we can't. We have to plan for everything, but we

969
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,559
have to plan for everyone's best shot. And if you

970
00:43:25,119 --> 00:43:28,840
don't focus on what's the task at hand, then you

971
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,239
get in trouble. And we saw that happen with a

972
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:36,199
lot of teams that that took others you know, didn't.

973
00:43:36,559 --> 00:43:38,320
I don't know if it didn't take them seriously or

974
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,880
they're they're best showed up and you had all these

975
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,320
tight games over the weekend, and that's happened all year long,

976
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,599
and we've had maybe people don't didn't take to take

977
00:43:47,679 --> 00:43:50,920
us seriously. I have no idea, but all I know

978
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,159
is I can control what we do and so nothing's

979
00:43:53,199 --> 00:43:55,800
going to be easy. I can't assume anything other than

980
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,239
we have to be at our best and and that's

981
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,159
my job as a coach. Get these guys ready to go,

982
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,719
get committed to playing physical style of football, and then

983
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,199
the rest takes care of itself.

984
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 2: Very true.

985
00:44:07,039 --> 00:44:11,039
Speaker 3: If you do, if you do not take UCF series,

986
00:44:11,079 --> 00:44:13,519
if you go around there and get too cute, YadA, YadA, YadA,

987
00:44:13,519 --> 00:44:15,679
I don't have to explain it. You will see what happens.

988
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,360
Not saying they did that last year, but they didn't

989
00:44:17,599 --> 00:44:20,199
perform on what happened. Yeah, Like UCF will come in

990
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:21,760
and step on your throat, on your neck. It's a

991
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,559
P four program. It's still the high level three star

992
00:44:24,599 --> 00:44:26,559
and four star talent playing in college football.

993
00:44:26,559 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: Don't get that twisted.

994
00:44:27,639 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 3: That's still a good football team over there, and Scott

995
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,599
Frost as a respected coach. You mess around or if

996
00:44:32,639 --> 00:44:35,599
you you know what in the pants, Well you know,

997
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,239
I'll just say it. You dick around on Saturday, I'll

998
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,440
just say, why am I running from the word you

999
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:40,800
do that?

1000
00:44:41,199 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 2: It would not work.

1001
00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 7: Hey, well I prepped for Cincinnati. I watched the UFC

1002
00:44:45,199 --> 00:44:49,400
Cincinnati game when the USC went into Cincinnati before they

1003
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,559
played Utah, when they were playing good, solid football and

1004
00:44:53,679 --> 00:44:56,840
everybody was healthy on the Cincinnati side. Hey, they went

1005
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,480
in and held Cincinnati to twenty points and they Cincinnati

1006
00:45:01,639 --> 00:45:03,119
only won twenty to eleven.

1007
00:45:04,159 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 3: So hey, they got a little dogging they do. They're

1008
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,679

report L J. Martin. That's right. For the third time

1063
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,639
during the twenty twenty five season, the BYU running back

1064
00:47:43,679 --> 00:47:47,599
has earned the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player

1065
00:47:47,599 --> 00:47:50,760
of the Week Honorable Mentioned recognition, this time for its

1066
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,400
performance and ba's twenty six to fourteen win over since

1067
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,280
Natty And if you missed it, which you probably didn't,

1068
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,480
but just to remind you, career high two hundred and

1069
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,559
twenty two yards, thirty two carries, six point nine yards

1070
00:48:03,559 --> 00:48:07,719
at tempo on the ground, and two tuddies against the Bearcats.

1071
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,280
His two hundred and twenty two yards rushing is the

1072
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,960
eighth highest single game production in school history, while the

1073
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,840
thirty two carries marks the fourth highest total.

1074
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 2: Ever at BYU.

1075
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 3: Dare I say we have not compared anybody to Tyler's year,

1076
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,880
and probably rightfully so, but this game was definitely Tyler

1077
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,679
Al's years now. Tyler obviously got drafted in the fifth

1078
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,039
round Atlanta Falcons, one of the greatest running backs in

1079
00:48:31,039 --> 00:48:31,840
BAU history.

1080
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:32,559
Speaker 2: LJ.

1081
00:48:32,679 --> 00:48:34,079
Speaker 3: I think we'll go down with the great with the

1082
00:48:34,079 --> 00:48:36,000
rest of them is Brandon Gurney said in the first hour.

1083
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,000
But this performance was definitely Tyler esque, no doubt. When

1084
00:48:40,039 --> 00:48:42,239
was the last time you've heard of a BAU running

1085
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,840
back running the ball twenty to thirty times? Tyler Ow's

1086
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,719
here and LJ might not be as thick as Tyler

1087
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,199
and his dentse but man, he can't beat that as

1088
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,800
given flashes back of that. The six to two, two

1089
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,400
hundred and twenty pound running back from our Passo Texas,

1090
00:48:56,599 --> 00:49:00,119
the four star going crazy and because of that, as

1091
00:49:00,119 --> 00:49:02,000
you guys know, he was a named the Offensive Player

1092
00:49:02,079 --> 00:49:05,280
of the Week yesterday. On Monday, the conference Announcedent not

1093
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,840
surprised him and Joe Johnson from Kansas State. Both of

1094
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,840
those guys were running all over the defenses that they

1095
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,280
were going up. The difference was BYU ended up getting

1096
00:49:14,599 --> 00:49:17,079
the dub and of course Martin leads to Big twelve

1097
00:49:17,079 --> 00:49:19,400
and carries with one hundred ninety five rushing yards were

1098
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,000
one one hundred and thirty four in yards per game

1099
00:49:22,119 --> 00:49:23,880
with one hundred and three point nine just about one

1100
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,440
hundred and four. That's crazy he's a guaranteed one hundred

1101
00:49:26,519 --> 00:49:29,800
yard rusher, and whatever game it is, it'd be nice

1102
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,480
to see and get that against Texas Tech and by

1103
00:49:32,559 --> 00:49:35,280
you were to punch their ticket to the college football playoffs.

1104
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,679
Speaker 2: So we will see, we will see.

1105
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,039
Speaker 3: He's also second in all purpose yards with one hundred

1106
00:49:40,039 --> 00:49:42,280
and twenty point three. Martin is seventh in the nation

1107
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,119
in rushing yards, eighth in all purpose yards, and ninth

1108
00:49:45,199 --> 00:49:46,920
in rushing yards per game. You know what that speaks

1109
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,320
to me, folks, That speaks to me. NFL running back

1110
00:49:50,599 --> 00:49:53,559
declaring for the twenty twenty six NFL Draft. Don't know

1111
00:49:54,119 --> 00:49:56,800
what Ljate's decision will be, but Kaline mentioned obviously in

1112
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,039
the sound that we played earlier, in the last segment

1113
00:49:59,079 --> 00:50:01,599
and in the first hour, that could be a possibility.

1114
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,880
So I don't think you'll see number four in the

1115
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,199
backfield for bou next year.

1116
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people know. Don't say that.

1117
00:50:07,199 --> 00:50:08,000
Look selfishly.

1118
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 3: You may want them, but if your stock is high,

1119
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,199
go when you have the most value.

1120
00:50:12,199 --> 00:50:13,679
Speaker 2: And that is right now.

1121
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,239
