158
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,039
I've spent many many meetings and dinners with him, hanging

159
00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:55,759
out and picking his brain, and he's a great builder

160
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,679
of culture and character. And so it was really impressed

161
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,440
with Texas Tech and their entire group, all their players

162
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,879
that they brought to the media day this summer and

163
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,559
carried themselves. We were really respectful and carried themselves with

164
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,000
a lot of confidence, and you can see a lot

165
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,159
of that working through what they've done this season, what

166
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,600
they've accomplished. So congratulations to them and their fans. We're

169
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,200
in there and be victorious. But I'm just focused on

170
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,200
the prep this week and focused on what we can

171
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,919
accomplish and how much better we can get become as

172
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:34,240
a team between now and by the time we get

173
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,480
there on Saturday morning before kickoff. So looking forward to

174
00:09:38,519 --> 00:09:43,960
the matchup, excited, super respectful to Texas Tech. I mean,

175
00:09:44,639 --> 00:09:46,879
you've talked to a lot of BYU fans and myself

176
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:49,840
I'm a fan too. We've always had a connection to

177
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,039
Texas Tech because of coach Leech and so we always

178
00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:56,519
found ourselves cheering for them and their success, especially with

179
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,759
what he's been able to do there for so many years,

180
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,159
and then now see and how it all works out,

181
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,679
and that they have a great man at the head

182
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,840
of their program with Joey McGuire and seeing the things

183
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,240
that he's been able to accomplish in his coaching career.

184
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,600
They have a great staff, a lot of people that

185
00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:13,679
we know on their coaching staff, and a lot of

186
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,519
great players that obviously have built that they've bought into

187
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,360
and and and and have built around that culture that

188
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,600
that coach McGuire set there. And it's not a coincidence

189
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,039
or or a chance that they're successful. So looking forward

190
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,320
to the matchup and getting ready to make sure that

191
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,799
we're at our best. We can we can give it

192
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,159
a shot.

193
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: All right.

194
00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: Our first squestion will be from John Kune.

195
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:42,799
Speaker 4: All right, so let me delve into this matchup real quick. Okay,

196
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,200
it's gonna be on ABC. It's a high profile game

197
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,159
at a high profile time. Twelve noon kickoff Mountain time,

198
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,440
ten am Eastern Time, So a lot of eyes. Okay,

199
00:10:54,440 --> 00:11:00,159
this is where you start off your college football watching experience. Okay,

200
00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:03,679
there's a reason why this game had been teased as

201
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,679
a game day destination there in Lubbock. I think over

202
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,679
a week ago, a week and a half ago, Rhys

203
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:17,799
Davis was talking about Tortilla's tortillas and prognosticating that this

204
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,480
was going to be the place the Texas Tech was

205
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,559
essentially going to be able to take care of business

206
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,159
and BYU versus Texas Tech would be of the featured

207
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,679
game for College Game Day. Remember Pat McAfee went on

208
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:37,480
his show after the big noon kickoff that BYU received

209
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:45,080
that visit and guess what, Sorry, ten am Mountain in

210
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:52,279
noon Eastern. I apologize for inverting that, but Pat McAfee

211
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:55,559
stated he tried to convince the executive the administrators of

212
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,679
the decision makers to head to Provo for the Holy War.

213
00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:04,399
That big new kickoff couldn't convince them. Pat mcafeel only

214
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:10,360
has so much power within the ESPN, Disney Hulu co conglomerate,

215
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,000
the power brokers of the sports world.

216
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,279
Speaker 5: So didn't happen.

217
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 4: But now they're taking Game Day to love it in

218
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:26,159
a very high profile game in which BYU once again

219
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,919
is not even the favorite. They're eight to oh number

220
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,679
eight in the country, five to Ohero and Big twelve play.

221
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,559
Obviously in Texas Tech eight one, five and one. In

222
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,000
Big twelve play, they lost to Issue on the road

223
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:42,759
by four points on the road, right that was That

224
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,159
was a devastating loss to them, But they've bounced back

225
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,519
and they've looked really good since then. ESPN Analytics gives

226
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,080
Texas Tech a sixty point nine percent chance of victory.

227
00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:59,840
Not a surprise okay and Vegas Okay is also fa

228
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,559
foring the Red Raiders even more so than what I

229
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,080
thought it would be ten and a half okay, with

230
00:13:08,159 --> 00:13:11,240
an over under a fifty three and a half, so

231
00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:16,120
more points scored in this game. But Texas Texas offense

232
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:23,080
is in my opinion, being heavily weighted in this particular spread.

233
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:30,679
I went into other data points, and it looks somewhat similar.

234
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:37,240
I would say to the BYU Utah matchup, where you

235
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:41,159
know Utah's offense and defense both were pretty good heading

236
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:45,759
into that game that BYU Holywar game, as was BYU's,

237
00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:49,480
but the difference was actually that BYU Special teams unit

238
00:13:49,919 --> 00:13:54,960
was significantly like forty slots better than the University of Utah's,

239
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,919
and I see a same similar situation here. Both teams

240
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,879
have good great offenses in defenses, Texas Tech comes in

241
00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:09,320
at nine in SP plus in the SP plus metric,

242
00:14:11,039 --> 00:14:16,519
number eight defensively, so offensively other ninth defensively. Their eighth

243
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,720
Their special teams unit, though, is eightieth, whereas BYU is

244
00:14:21,759 --> 00:14:26,799
twenty fifth in offense, sixteenth in defense, and number six

245
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:34,480
overall in special teams efficiency. Their strength of schedule is

246
00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:41,120
very similar. BYU's strength of record is slightly better, so

247
00:14:42,679 --> 00:14:47,480
very interesting side by side metrics. Yet Vegas in the

248
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:53,480
betting game, albeit favors Texas Tech. BYU and Texas Tech

249
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,240
are facing off just for the third time in the series,

250
00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:00,720
with each team winning a game apiece one and one

251
00:15:00,799 --> 00:15:04,879
Texas Tech one back in nineteen forty crazy while the

252
00:15:04,879 --> 00:15:08,559
Cougars won the last matchup twenty seven to fourteen in

253
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,320
twenty twenty three while playing in Provo, and that particular

254
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,399
game was the Spitgate game.

255
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 5: Ronald, you remember the spit Gate? Do you not? I

256
00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:22,360
do remember this spit Gate? I sure do. They were

257
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:23,559
attacking you personally too.

258
00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 4: Been all because I posted proof video evidence of Texas

259
00:15:29,639 --> 00:15:33,840
Tech players spinning on the faces of BYU football players.

260
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,840
They attacked my Google reviews at orthor Pros, one of

261
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,879
our sponsors here, Orthropros of Utah, the medical device company,

262
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:47,600
the medical distribution company, medical device distribution company that I

263
00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:50,639
own and operate. It was pretty crazy, but albeit the

264
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,759
virtue and grace won out. Amongst the Texas Tech red

265
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,360
Raider fans, the lowest, the dregs of the fans.

266
00:15:58,960 --> 00:15:59,159
Speaker 5: Were.

267
00:16:01,559 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 4: They ultimately lost the day because Google stepped in and

268
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,240
took away those reviews, and Texas Tech fans also tried

269
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:11,559
to flood my Google ruse. I said no, I don't

270
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,240
want any fake reviews, but they tried to give me

271
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:15,279
some five star reviews. At the end of the day,

272
00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:18,759
it all worked out, but Spitgate was crazy. Man and

273
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:23,000
Joey McGuire, by the way, Joey McGuire, the head coach,

274
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,799
after this, this is what made it so crazy, Like

275
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,279
we have video evidence, not only the TV copy, but

276
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:33,639
the All twenty two okay, of players spitting on BAU players,

277
00:16:33,919 --> 00:16:36,720
Texas Tech Red Raider players, and even one number fifteen

278
00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:39,480
got kicked out. Their tight end got kicked out for spitting.

279
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:44,360
So the ref saw it and obviously the player denied it.

280
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,720
But this is what Joey McGuire said the following Monday.

281
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:53,000
I believe, after reviewing the All twenty two and the

282
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,279
TV tape, pretty crazy.

283
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,919
Speaker 9: Jane York said he did not do it. I've seen

284
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,480
every video TV copy. I would ask you all to

285
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:03,960
go back and.

286
00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:07,319
Speaker 10: Review the TV copy and and see that if there

287
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,680
is a I thank you, if I spit in your face,

288
00:17:12,039 --> 00:17:15,240
that would be in a reaction, and the reaction is

289
00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:17,319
that you either wipe it off or you hit me

290
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,720
in the mouth. So go back and watch the TV

291
00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:23,480
copy and see what everybody believes.

292
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 9: Just watch the TV copy. It's nothing against.

293
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,279
Speaker 10: Officials, there's nothing against ninety two, it's nothing against Jane York.

294
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,599
They slow it down. Go watch the TV copy and see, like,

295
00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:37,400
just as a logical human being, the conclusions that you crawl.

296
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, pretty pretty insane like that. You could

297
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,279
watch the TV copy and the All twenty two. Look,

298
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,559
I'm all for protecting your players. If he said he

299
00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:52,599
didn't do it, you have to stand by your players.

300
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:55,440
But then if you go back into you re review

301
00:17:55,519 --> 00:17:57,720
the TV copy and the All twenty two, like you

302
00:17:57,839 --> 00:18:04,559
see like a a concerted neck jerk as if you are,

303
00:18:05,759 --> 00:18:09,799
you know, spitting right like that. The biomechanics of spitting

304
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,559
is not just through you know, lip propulsion, right.

305
00:18:14,599 --> 00:18:15,759
Speaker 5: You don't just kind of stay it.

306
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,279
Speaker 4: You have to you know, you gotta cock back and

307
00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:22,279
get after it right in order to put out that projectile.

308
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:25,079
I know this sounds weird that I'm breaking this down,

309
00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:27,960
but like there's no way physically possible that you can

310
00:18:28,039 --> 00:18:32,720
just kind of just let the spintle just just come

311
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,279
out of the mouth without projecting with your neck and head,

312
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,440
Like it's obvious.

313
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,759
Speaker 5: How could you deny that, Joe anyway? I digress.

314
00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 6: Eddie Hecker said he spit on them.

315
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 4: Two Now that as I'm saying, Eddie said, Eddy and

316
00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:48,599
Tyler Baddy both confirmed it. So who do you believe?

317
00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:51,839
We all know who we believe cougarnation. But let's get

318
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,400
back to the sound. I don't think Kilani addresses spitgate.

319
00:18:56,279 --> 00:18:58,119
I just wanted to take some time to like break

320
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,440
this game. This is gonna be a great game. This

321
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,160
is gonna be We're developing. I don't want to go

322
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,640
Kyle witting Have here, but we're developing our out of

323
00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:11,960
state rivalry games, right, not just the in state game

324
00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:15,559
in state rivalry. This is our inn state rivalry. We're

325
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:18,400
getting our out of state rivalry games going. Because ames

326
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:22,519
was lively, it was tenacious, it was awesome, and the

327
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:25,880
fan base was tremendous. I got a ton of reports

328
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,200
right now. I did not go out there, Okay, I

329
00:19:28,279 --> 00:19:30,680
was at I was at home watching it from the

330
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,400
comfort of my home in front of my flat screen.

331
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:33,079
Speaker 5: He was glorious.

332
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,759
Speaker 4: But the fans, I was told, were just so gracious,

333
00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:39,839
so respectful, and it was great. But they they it

334
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,200
was like a friendly kind of like the Baylor experience

335
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,200
when we went out to Waco a couple of years ago.

336
00:19:44,759 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 5: They really enjoyed the experience.

337
00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 4: It was very it was not petty competitive, it was

338
00:19:50,519 --> 00:19:53,640
it was it was gracefully competitive. You know, they want

339
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,440
to get after it a little bit, but just within

340
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,200
the field of play, within the whistles. Okay, So anyway

341
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,200
I want to get back to this. This could be

342
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,359
an out of state Rillygan. This one's a little bit

343
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,559
more I would say passionate. It could be even though

344
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:11,599
we've only played once in the modern era. But judging

345
00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:14,039
by space A, this could get very lively, could get

346
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,359
really crazy out there in Lubbock. And because we have

347
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,160
a little bit of that Mike Leach history, as Kolani

348
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,400
pointed out, now there's there's other connectivity here. There's other

349
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,119
intrinsic fibers that connect both of these squads. And furthermore,

350
00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:31,039
I'll say the other common theme, at least from an

351
00:20:31,079 --> 00:20:36,039
outside of its perspective, Kyle Whittingham stated in his press

352
00:20:36,079 --> 00:20:39,160
conference leading up to the Texas Tech game that the

353
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,000
reason why Texas Tech was winning is because they were

354
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:45,000
spending the most money. It's all about that that filthy luker.

355
00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:49,799
It's all about the cash money and Kyle's football. Is

356
00:20:49,839 --> 00:20:52,400
it more money, more problems, I don't know, more money,

357
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,720
more wins is what Kyle Whittingham states. And there's a

358
00:20:56,759 --> 00:21:01,680
growing trend of commentators analysts, especially with BAU basketball being

359
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,319
at the forefront of all these that BWA football is

360
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,400
also at the forefront of great nil distribution. Now we

361
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,279
don't have confirmation of that, but yeah, I'm sure they're competitive.

362
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 5: They're going to be competitive.

363
00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 4: The competitive man will passion college football. Anyway, Let's get

364
00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:23,519
back to the sound because Coladdie pontificates on a number

365
00:21:23,519 --> 00:21:23,799
of things.

366
00:21:23,839 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 5: Let's continue to break it down.

367
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 8: Alannie, with the bioe week, you've had a chance to

368
00:21:31,599 --> 00:21:35,119
get maybe get some guys held out there.

369
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 3: We're struggling with injuries. Where are you at in terms

370
00:21:39,279 --> 00:21:44,960
of health going into this game, specifically how horor l J.

371
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,240
Martin and Jack Kelly doing.

372
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're doing great. I mean, we'll see how they

373
00:21:50,279 --> 00:21:52,960
progress during practice this week. So they're not out, they're

374
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,079
practicing and and we'll see by the time Wednesday. Hopefully

375
00:21:57,279 --> 00:21:59,880
it works in our favor, but the fact that they're

376
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:00,960
not out as a good sign.

377
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,279
Speaker 11: Next question from Jakatch, Wellnie, this is the first time

378
00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:09,880
in BAYU football history as have played a top ten

379
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,279
opponent also being ranked in the top ten.

380
00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 3: You make anything of the significance of that matchup.

381
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,839
Speaker 8: No, I'm just trying to get the team ready. I

382
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,599
mean I'm not a voter.

383
00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: In the polls or any of that stuff. So all we.

384
00:22:24,599 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 8: Know is that when we saw the schedule and we

385
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,720
knew that we're gonna go out to Lubwick around this time,

386
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,000
that we had to prep for that opportunity to play

387
00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:31,359
that game.

388
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: And I'm looking forward to the matchup.

389
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 8: I mean, they haven't an awesome fan base there and

390
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,519
obviously not gonna be cheering for us, but it's a

391
00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:40,440
lot of fun to go see these places that you've

392
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,880
never been able to play at before, So this will

393
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,880
be a first for all of us, and I'm looking

394
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,799
forward to the matchup. But yeah, I'm not concerned about

395
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:50,400
all that stuff with the rankings and everything. This is

396
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,960
an opportunity for us to get to play the game,

397
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:52,920
so I'm looking forward to that.

398
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,839
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you. You mentioned that you're good

399
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,039
friends with Joey maguire.

400
00:22:57,079 --> 00:22:58,759
Speaker 12: What do you make of just Texas Tech as a

401
00:22:58,799 --> 00:23:02,079
team to show Russian crowis this past we get in particular?

402
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they're a complete team.

403
00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:05,799
Speaker 8: They can do a lot of different things, and they're

404
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,920
they're very deep, and so you look at the talent,

405
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,759
not a lot to drop off from one to two

406
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:13,000
and that's in every position.

407
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: And then they're well coached.

408
00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 8: I mean, you look at all the things you have

409
00:23:16,759 --> 00:23:18,920
to be on top of your game because they can

410
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,279
do it in three phases and they played great compromary

411
00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:25,799
football and so we we like to try to do

412
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:27,880
the same things as well. And so there's a lot

413
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,400
of things that we see that they do really really

414
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,400
well that we we try to emulate ourselves. So, uh,

415
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,480
you know, we're hope hopeful that we can get the

416
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,480
work done. But hope is not a great strategy. We've

417
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,119
got to get We got to actually get to work

418
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,240
and uh and put in, put in some time. We

419
00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:42,559
did it last week. Felt great about that and the

420
00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:44,400
progress we've made. And now now I gonna see if

421
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,799
we can if I can do my job as a

422
00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:47,359
head coach and make sure that we're ready to roll

423
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,039
by the time we get to get their Saturday.

424
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 13: Next question from Mitch Harper, Alanie brought up the company

425
00:23:56,759 --> 00:23:59,319
football with with Texas Tech, what are some of the

426
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,240
you know, area is of their strength that that really

427
00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:05,920
stand out that phil will be key key aspects of

428
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:06,559
this matchup.

429
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 8: Well, they're opportunistic and they can they can hurt you

430
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,440
in such a short amount of time, so that's always dangerous.

431
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,599
Speaker 1: And then you could think it's.

432
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,839
Speaker 8: Going one way, and then they could just next thing,

433
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,960
you know, and and in a matter of three to

434
00:24:20,039 --> 00:24:21,400
five minutes they.

435
00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: Could really take over.

436
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 8: So, uh, that's that's gonna be difficult because they do

437
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,759
that pretty easily. It seems like with teams that when

438
00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:30,440
they play. But I like the matchup, man, I think

439
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,160
it's gonna be great for us. We see it on film.

440
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,480
We've been seeing it for over a week already. We

441
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,359
saw it all last week. We've been prepping for it,

442
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,960
and uh, you know this is this is a it's

443
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,640
easier said than done because a lot of teams have

444
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,400
tried to do that and not not very many teams

445
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,519
can put them on their heels, and so we're gonna

446
00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:46,200
try to do something that nobody else has been able

447
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:46,400
to do.

448
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 3: Well, you bring up the film.

449
00:24:49,599 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 12: What did you guys accomplish during the bye week?

450
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 3: You know, how intense was it for practices? What what

451
00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:56,799
do you feel it was accomplished ding this past week?

452
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, we accomplish everything we wanted to, so we wanted

453
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,480
the bye week. That was great for us. If anybody

454
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,640
wants to know, but we got to work in and

455
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,160
and you know, we we did game day stuff on

456
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,079
Saturday and had some practices and so yeah, we feel

457
00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:09,640
good about it.

458
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 13: Next question from Jay Cash, Annie, what do you make

459
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,640
a Baron Morton is a quarterback?

460
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 3: Where's he stacked up in your opinion?

461
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's complete quarterback. He can hurt you with his legs.

462
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,759
Speaker 8: He throws a ball real nice, got a quick release,

463
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,599
super smart, and he's he's complimented by all the I

464
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,240
mean an aggressive old line that's really stout and strong,

465
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,119
and then they have skill all around running back, at

466
00:25:33,519 --> 00:25:36,799
tight end and receiver. They're their complete team when you're

467
00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:40,359
looking at offensively and then defensively same thing, and then

468
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,319
special teams. I mean, Joey's done a great job coaching

469
00:25:43,319 --> 00:25:45,079
that team and getting him ready is the reason why

470
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,119
they ranked the top ten.

471
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,319
Speaker 6: I also want to ask you about David Baileies leading

472
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,240
the nation in sacks coming off the edge.

473
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,759
Speaker 3: How much of the challenge is they prepare for a

474
00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:53,319
guy like that.

475
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:54,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's difficult.

476
00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 8: I mean that that's there's the reason why he's so

477
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,680
so effective. And you know that's a that's another thing

478
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,039
that we have to be aware of. But you know,

479
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,119
it's takes eleven guys on the on the field to

480
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,160
get it done. So as much as you want to

481
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,920
just focus on one, we got to make sure that

482
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,359
all all eleven guys are doing the right thing and

483
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,359
and he we may do all that and he may

484
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,160
still make plays. It's okay, but we got at least

485
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,440
do our part and not not give up some freebies.

486
00:26:21,839 --> 00:26:24,799
Speaker 13: Next question from Mitch Harper Golani.

487
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 12: How helpful is it in preparation for a week like

488
00:26:28,039 --> 00:26:32,799
this that you your program experience being undefeated in November

489
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,839
high stakes games. Does that help it all going into

490
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,640
a matchup that's, you know, expected to be.

491
00:26:38,599 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 3: A really good one.

492
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,039
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know.

493
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,559
Speaker 8: I think the UH our approach is the same every time,

494
00:26:44,599 --> 00:26:47,279
whether we win or lose, and regardless of what our

495
00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:50,079
record is. I like to think that we approach every

496
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,640
week and every opponent differently with the same mindset though

497
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,680
that that our focus is completely on that, not on

498
00:26:56,759 --> 00:26:59,200
anything in the past and and any experience that we've

499
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:01,759
done before. I mean, there's some great lessons that you

500
00:27:01,799 --> 00:27:04,880
can learn, but the truth is this is a different beast.

501
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,279
Texas texts different than they were last year and we're

502
00:27:08,279 --> 00:27:11,359
different than we were last year too, So although there

503
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,119
could be some similarities and some things that you can

504
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,519
learn maybe as a head coach, and then some things

505
00:27:15,519 --> 00:27:17,839
that you did with strategy, but when it all comes

506
00:27:17,839 --> 00:27:19,039
down to it, every week is different.

507
00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 3: What's impressed you the most too?

508
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 12: I wanted to ask about Bear Bachmeer his passing ability.

509
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,880
We've always known his ability to run the football. It's physicality,

510
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,759
but have you seen Bear evolve as a passer and

511
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:32,279
what do you attribute that to the success?

512
00:27:32,759 --> 00:27:34,519
Speaker 1: Well, we always knew that he could throw the ball.

513
00:27:34,599 --> 00:27:38,079
Speaker 8: It's just a matter of can we be dependable to

514
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:39,799
be in the right spots when he's throwing, and can

515
00:27:39,839 --> 00:27:43,200
we get the timing right? Him being just being here

516
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,319
for a short amount of time before we started fall camp,

517
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,160
all that stuff we had the factor in and that.

518
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: That's what Ayrod did. I thought he did it brilliantly.

519
00:27:50,519 --> 00:27:54,079
Speaker 8: And we're still still work. There's still work to do though.

520
00:27:54,079 --> 00:27:56,759
He hasn't arrived, and there's still some things that he

521
00:27:56,799 --> 00:27:58,759
can he can accomplish in the next little bit and

522
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,920
he knows that. But he he's a he's a great

523
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,319
learner and he's a student of the game and he's

524
00:28:03,319 --> 00:28:05,079
always trying to get better, and so when when you

525
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,440
have some of that work ethic, it will make it

526
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:08,839
a lot easier for us to get him where he

527
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:09,319
wants to be.

528
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 3: Next question from j Dreel Wennie.

529
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 11: With the release of the college football playoff rankings coming

530
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,240
out tomorrow, have you or your staff put any thought

531
00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:24,200
whatsoever into the Have you have you broached the subject

532
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,319
with your team?

533
00:28:25,799 --> 00:28:26,759
Speaker 3: What are your feelings on.

534
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,319
Speaker 1: That with the with the.

535
00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:33,799
Speaker 3: You say that again with the release of.

536
00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 11: The college Football Playoff rankings coming out, No, it's important

537
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,559
obviously for your you know, postseason. Have you put any

538
00:28:42,599 --> 00:28:45,359
thought into that at all of or we'll talk to

539
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,119
your team about it.

540
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,799
Speaker 8: No, I haven't talked about it before and probably won't

541
00:28:50,799 --> 00:28:54,079
talk about it again anyway. So we just focused on

542
00:28:54,079 --> 00:28:56,640
one thing, and that's being being at the right mindset

543
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,240
and making sure that we avoid all distractions before get

544
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,799
to that game. The focus this entire week is going

545
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:05,400
into that game against Texas Tech in Lubbock.

546
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,279
Speaker 9: Thanks question much for Jake catch.

547
00:29:13,559 --> 00:29:16,079
Speaker 11: That's plenty when it comes to playing on the road

548
00:29:16,119 --> 00:29:18,039
and environment like we expect down there in Lubbock.

549
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 3: What's the biggest challenge in your opinion.

550
00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 8: I think everybody's to always talking about the noise factor,

551
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,880
but I think we've been in some noisy arenas before,

552
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,599
so that's always going to be a challenge. But I

553
00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:32,599
think we can work through that. And when you say that,

554
00:29:32,759 --> 00:29:36,720
it's just it's hard to simulate being in a hostile

555
00:29:36,759 --> 00:29:39,519
and noisy environment. But we've been through that already. This

556
00:29:39,599 --> 00:29:41,160
is in game one for a lot of these guys

557
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,079
and they've been in a situation where it's been loud.

558
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,279
I think that's gonna be It adds to the excitement

559
00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:48,599
in the fun of the game, and so we're just

560
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,240
on the other side of it. We're used to being

561
00:29:50,279 --> 00:29:52,559
at home and being loud, and now we're also used

562
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:54,559
to being on the road and it being loud. And

563
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,559
you know, our job is to try to you know,

564
00:29:57,119 --> 00:29:58,960
put points on the board and try to get get

565
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,640
everything that we can so we can find a competitive event.

566
00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:03,599
Is knowing that they are at home and they're how

567
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,839
the noise factor would work out in their favor.

568
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,119
Speaker 5: All Right, there you go.

569
00:30:09,119 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 4: That's Kalani Satake from his media availability. I'd say one

570
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,839
of the biggest nuggets from the sound from early today

571
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,400
is the injury report Jojo Phillips wide receiver who went

572
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,200
out in the Stanford game. I believe it was the

573
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,119
Stanford game, right or yeah, it was the y Stanford game.

574
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:33,440
Stanford game had to undergo surgery for his shoulder. He's

575
00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:34,839
nearing a return.

576
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:35,839
Speaker 1: I think A.

577
00:30:36,079 --> 00:30:39,839
Speaker 4: Rodd also had stated last week that he felt confident

578
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,359
that Jojo would return for the Texas Tech game. But

579
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,799
he's been practicing and his nearing return to the lineup

580
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,279
big news for b Yu running back. If we got

581
00:30:50,279 --> 00:30:52,960
to go to the inverse, the bad side of things.

582
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,960
Running back to ony Moa remained sidelined and it's still

583
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,880
a ways off from returning.

584
00:30:58,279 --> 00:31:01,039
Speaker 5: Per Kalani running backs LJ.

585
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 4: Martin and linebacker Jack Kelly are not ruled out, both

586
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,759
on the depth chart, both rehabbing getting back into game

587
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,000
day shape if you will. They're expected to practice this week.

588
00:31:14,119 --> 00:31:18,559
Their game status will be determined following further evaluation later

589
00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:19,240
onto the week.

590
00:31:20,119 --> 00:31:22,119
Speaker 5: It's good news, okay.

591

00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,599
What were your main takeaways from the shund bites and

645
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:16,679
the media availability Ronald the three man Weaver, What did

646
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:17,199
you make of it?

647
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

648
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,079
Speaker 6: I think the biggest thing Ben is that Kilanie's not

649
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,679
letting anybody media member, parent family, baby child, as kids,

650
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,960
anybody deter him publicly or even maybe behind the scenes

651
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,599
about this being the top ten matchup between him and

652
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:34,000
Texas Tech those teams. He's not buying into the storylines.

653
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,360
They're treating us like another game. There's a lot of

654
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,599
hype around it, and they're trying to cast out anybody

655
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:41,159
and everybody is trying to make it a big deal.

656
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:45,039
Speaker 4: That's the biggest takeaway I got. This is a massive game.

657
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,119
From a publicity standpoint. Game day will be there. Look

658
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:51,480

football landscape. To tell everyone that's been doubting you, to

667
00:35:23,199 --> 00:35:26,519
tell everyone that has called you a nice little program

668
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,480
since nineteen seventy two. A program that can compete with

669
00:35:31,559 --> 00:35:33,480
the best but can't beat the best.

670
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 5: Is how they view BYU, A.

671
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:40,079
Speaker 4: Program that when b Y's winning, right, they say, oh,

672
00:35:40,159 --> 00:35:42,039
they're they're winning.

673
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,119
Speaker 5: Because they're older, because they're mature.

674
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 4: Are they going to be able to do that when

675
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:53,000
by if BYU beats Texas Tech? Probably not? Why because

676
00:35:53,039 --> 00:35:56,599
bear Backmeier is like eighteen. A lot of their key

677
00:35:56,679 --> 00:36:02,400
players are young, okay, and they're not the traditional maybe

678
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:07,480
BYU Cougar football player that has you know, led YU

679
00:36:07,599 --> 00:36:15,280
to ten top ten in the last sixty years. Total

680
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,039
wins that put you in the top ten of all

681
00:36:18,039 --> 00:36:21,400
of college football. It's impressive, averaging eight wins a season,

682
00:36:21,599 --> 00:36:24,719
so not too shabby. With all of the individual awards too, right,

683
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:33,599
the Heisman's the balls, the dokes, right, these iconic individual

684
00:36:33,679 --> 00:36:36,800
wards and you have many conference championships as well in

685
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,000
the Whack Mountain West, and you made your way through

686
00:36:40,039 --> 00:36:45,159
independence with some of the best I think top twenty

687
00:36:45,199 --> 00:36:51,039
five TV viewership during that time being in the Mountain right,

688
00:36:51,079 --> 00:36:54,679
being the Mountain time zone. So now's the time. Now's

689
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,719
the place to solidify your footing in the college football landscape,

690
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,519
to let everybody know that the free market, capitalistic, no

691
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:08,800
guardrails college football society and landscape and competitive field that

692
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:13,320
we're competing in now BYU because they weren't the ones

693
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,119
cheating before, but they were still winning. They just couldn't

694
00:37:16,119 --> 00:37:18,320
get over that hump get to a BCS. They couldn't

695
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,960
get to maybe the College Football Playoff as an independent.

696
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:26,280
But now when byus on equal footing with the rest

697
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:32,760
of college football, they are able to compete and beat

698
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:38,360
the best with everybody watching. And Kalani's trying to keep

699
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:43,119
everyone humble and hungry, stay on task, not let them

700
00:37:43,599 --> 00:37:49,559
buy into the hype, not let his team be distracted

701
00:37:50,119 --> 00:37:53,639
by things that don't impact his team.

702
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 5: They just don't.

703
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 4: The task at hand is before you go and execute

704
00:37:58,199 --> 00:38:04,960
that play, that that series, you know that that practice,

705
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,880
you got to take care of your body, all the

706
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,039
things that are most important are being present and shout

707
00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:17,480
out to the the The mental performance staff of BYU,

708
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,880
Branden Brown, I think has done a really good job

709
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:27,840
and an unheralded job of keeping the most important things

710
00:38:28,079 --> 00:38:30,599
at the forefront of the minds of these college football

711
00:38:30,599 --> 00:38:39,519
players right keeping first things first and the most important

712
00:38:39,559 --> 00:38:43,800
things as the priority right now for BYU Cougar football,

713
00:38:44,119 --> 00:38:48,519
stay hung humble, and staying hungry right now. It takes

714
00:38:48,519 --> 00:38:52,559
a village within a program to buy into a culture.

715
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:59,400
Many times there's like these offshoots within a football program

716
00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:04,480
are offshoots because individuals, the falling state of men, the

717
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,719
Homo sapiens that we are, you know, we tend to

718
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,199
do what we think is best for us as individuals

719
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:15,119
rather than the collective the team team first. At BYU,

720
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,320
I feel like they've done a really good job under

721
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:26,559
kilane of limiting, excising, dis discarding those that are individuals

722
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,440
from a talent standpoint, personnel and from maybe coaches or

723
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:36,199
administrators or you know, technical or administrative staff. And that's

724
00:39:36,199 --> 00:39:37,960
why we're seeing kind of the fruits of the labors

725
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,760
and the great return on investment within the college football

726
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,199
bull BAYU football program.

727
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 5: I'm excited.

728
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 4: All eyes on BYU this weekend and it'll be actually,

729
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,159
what type of numbers this pools? We went into the

730
00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:01,079
TV data last week with BYU being on a bye week,

731
00:40:02,639 --> 00:40:06,559
and BYU has been competitive in their time slots. They've

732
00:40:06,559 --> 00:40:12,119
been good to great when they're in the best time slots, right,

733
00:40:12,159 --> 00:40:16,159
because more people watch. And much of this is geographically based, right,

734
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,239
much as this has to do with you know, Fox

735
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,199
and ESPN determining just how you know where the game's

736
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,519
being played and who's playing, and that will determine due

737
00:40:26,559 --> 00:40:30,199
to population density who's watching these games.

738
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,199
Speaker 5: But BYU has been very.

739
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 4: Very competitive, averaging about one point six million viewers per

740
00:40:38,039 --> 00:40:43,079
game across all these different platforms, Fox and ESPN, ESPN two. Okay,

741
00:40:43,639 --> 00:40:48,039
they've done well, Now what type of viewership will we get?

742
00:40:48,039 --> 00:40:52,280
The most viewers? BYU has been able to acquires two

743
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,800
point six million and it was the most recent game

744
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,599
by versus Iowa State on Fox, not even on the

745
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,320
ESPN mothership. ESPN other ship will be down there obviously

746
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,360
the game day, at least Game day College game Day

747
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,719
will be there, but it'll be broadcast on ABC. As

748
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:17,199
I mentioned with Herbie and Fowler and of course a BYU.

749
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,079
I believe she's an alum. Holly Roschie also was an

750
00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:25,599
alum of Utah. She's a house divided with her schooling. Anyway,

751
00:41:25,679 --> 00:41:29,400
this is a This is an important game obviously, one

752
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:34,840
that I think will will receive viewership, not akin to

753
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,760
what we saw in the Alimo Ball BYU versus Colorado,

754
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,000
Travis Hunter, Shodor Sanders, Primetime, et cetera. But I could

755
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,679
see this eclipsing maybe four million viewers more or more

756
00:41:46,679 --> 00:41:49,679
than that, five million viewers. What's the what's the viewership

757
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:50,920
do you think it's going to be in this game?

758
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,039
Ronald the three man Weaver? What are you putting it at?

759
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, this viewership, I think BA is gonna get I

760
00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:57,480
can say there's Ben confident. I think you can see

761
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,440
this game get into the three four may be even

762
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:03,920
five million ranges the primetime ABC game. And I think Ben,

763
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,079
everybody's intrigued. The national media is intrigued.

764
00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:07,639
Speaker 5: They want to know.

765
00:42:07,679 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 6: They've maybe looked at BYU and heard about it, really

766
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,840
haven't caught on. They're gonna be people watching it, don't

767
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,320
want to watch that, don't want to see it, and

768
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,159
they're gonna be those that are like, Okay, are you

769
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:17,599
actually as good as you say you are?

770
00:42:17,639 --> 00:42:18,519
Speaker 5: Like I could tell you this.

771
00:42:18,559 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 6: The College Football Playoff Committee definitely will be watching and

772
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,119
seeing this. This is a great game for BAU. Tout

773
00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:27,239
silence everybody because if you defeat Texas Tech, this is

774
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:28,880
where I said you can earn your money because they

775
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,639
have nothing to say at that point. They can't deny

776
00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:34,519
you as the prime time morning game. So I think

777
00:42:34,559 --> 00:42:37,079
you see this game between four to five million, no doubt.

778
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 4: Let me get in a few metrics here and some

779
00:42:40,559 --> 00:42:46,039
commentary in this segment. Heather Damage of ESPN makes BYU's

780
00:42:46,119 --> 00:42:49,719
case right now if they continue down this path, a

781
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,039
case for a seventh seed in the College Football Playoff

782
00:42:52,159 --> 00:42:55,960
right Bau's eight zer why they could be here at

783
00:42:56,039 --> 00:42:58,519
number seven. The crew's out a bye week, but will

784
00:42:58,519 --> 00:43:01,360
be the Committee's loan defeated. This is just start off

785
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:06,360
the College Football Playoff Committee rankings, but the Committee's loan

786
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,840
undefeated Big twelve team to consider. BYU's back to back

787
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,079
wins against Utah and Iowa State are collectively better than

788
00:43:13,159 --> 00:43:18,599
anything undefeated Georgia Tech has on its resume. Heading into Saturday,

789
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:24,000
BYU was ranked number five in ESPN Strength of Record

790
00:43:24,039 --> 00:43:27,440
metric ahead of number eight Georgia Tech. The more glaring

791
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,239
discrepancy is in strength of schedule though, where b YU

792
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,159
was number forty nine in Georgia Tech number eighty three.

793
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:39,199
Look at that discrepancy there with Georgia Tech versus BYU. Statistically,

794
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:43,119
BYU and Georgia Tech have been extremely even in most

795
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:48,800
major categories, but the Cougars have done it against better competition. Okay,

796
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:55,679
So with the CFP rankings soon to be unveiled, soon

797
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,719
to be referral to the nation, BYU should get their

798
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,280
flat power for what they've done up.

799
00:44:01,199 --> 00:44:02,039
Speaker 5: To this point.

800
00:44:02,519 --> 00:44:05,639
Speaker 4: Does it matter, No, it matters at the end of

801
00:44:05,679 --> 00:44:09,039
the season. But for us talking heads and for you

802
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:12,400
as fans, this is us as medium and we would

803
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:17,400
like to discuss these things perfectly kosher. But let Kilani

804
00:44:17,679 --> 00:44:19,920
and his crew stay focused on the task at hand.

805
00:44:21,079 --> 00:44:22,920
Couple other things I want to bring up here as

806
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,119
we get prepared for the BAU Texas Tech matchup. Texas

807
00:44:27,159 --> 00:44:31,920
Tech is eight and one with an average win scoring

808
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:37,079
margin of thirty four points. So when they win, they're

809
00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:41,079
winning on average thirty four points, they're putting up thirty

810
00:44:41,079 --> 00:44:44,159
four more points than their opponents. That is crazy. That

811
00:44:44,199 --> 00:44:48,039
is an insane number. Their one loss was by four

812
00:44:48,039 --> 00:44:51,360
points on the road to ASU. So here's a quick

813
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,079
look at all the win margins from smallest to largest.

814
00:44:55,639 --> 00:45:00,360
Their smallest win margin was versus Houston eighteen points, still

815
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:06,000
a convincing victory. Kansas State twenty three points, Utah twenty

816
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,239
four points, Kansas twenty five, Oregon State thirty one, Oklahoma

817
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,840
State forty two, that was a skunking, Kent State forty eight,

818
00:45:14,119 --> 00:45:18,400
and then Arkansas Pine Bluff sixty. Yeah, they did it

819
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,719
against some weak foes, but they've also done it against

820
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,400
I mean, three score wins. That's impressive. I don't care

821
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,800
who you are in college football. You're playing FBS opponent

822
00:45:29,079 --> 00:45:34,800
G six P four opponent like that is extremely impressive.

823
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,800
There's a reason why Texas Tech is a favorite. If

824
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,199
you're just looking at the metrics, I will continue to

825
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:48,239
die on this hill. College football metrics do not take

826
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:52,519
into account, and even Vegas does not take into account

827
00:45:52,599 --> 00:45:57,880
in a weighted format, the efficiency and effectiveness of special teams.

828
00:45:58,159 --> 00:46:02,599
They just don't off defence, and defense is heavily weighted

829
00:46:02,639 --> 00:46:05,559
in these metrics, and it's heavily weighted. I think for

830
00:46:05,639 --> 00:46:09,079
committees too. You get a committee with human elements in it,

831
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,960
they care about offensive defense. They're not looking at how

832
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,159
effective is the kicking game. How many turnovers has the

833
00:46:17,519 --> 00:46:22,159
special teams unit caused this year, force fumbles, muff punts,

834
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,960
whatever it may be. How many returns flipping of this

835
00:46:27,159 --> 00:46:32,599
field if you will, has has a special teams unit

836
00:46:32,679 --> 00:46:36,840
created total yards, yards per yards per return, et cetera.

837
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,159
Speaker 5: I don't know if they're looking at that.

838
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 4: There's very few metrics that wait special teams effectiveness and efficiency,

839
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,639
and that could be the difference once again in this

840
00:46:47,679 --> 00:46:50,199
game versus text steck to keep it close, keep it

886
00:49:12,199 --> 00:49:14,400
stats here. This is a top ten showdown. The game

887
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,639
between number A b YU and number nine Texas Tech

888
00:49:16,679 --> 00:49:20,679
will be the first time in AP top ten ranked

889
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,840
Cougar team has faced off against another team ranked in

890
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:28,199
the top ten at the same time. Check out that

891
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,360
stat of the day. The highest ranked teams BAU has

892
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,840
played well being a top ten team was number fourteen

893
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,800
Coastal Carolina and BYU was ranked number eight at the time,

894
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,480
and that was in the COVID year twenty twenty Number

895
00:49:44,519 --> 00:49:48,400
fourteen Kansas State was the other one BYU, ranked number

896
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,119
five in the nation in that post New Year's Bowl

897
00:49:52,679 --> 00:49:56,079
in nineteen ninety seven, the Cotton Bowl. It also marks

898
00:49:56,639 --> 00:50:01,440
the Big twelve's first conference game between two top ten

899
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:07,599
teams since twenty twenty one. That game pitted number five

900
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:12,960
Oklahoma State versus number nine Baylor. This is not only

901
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:18,199
a big game for BYU, but it's showcasing the best

902
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:23,119
of the Big Twelve this season. When I feel like

903
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:29,280
the Big Twelve has been showcased right, I think to

904
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,199
start the football season overseas, it was ioway stayed in

905
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,519
Kansas State. It was kind of an ugly, sloppy game,

906
00:50:35,559 --> 00:50:38,639
and no one really came away from it thinking, oh man,

907
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,039
those two teams are really good football teams.

908
00:50:41,079 --> 00:50:43,079
Speaker 5: That was a great game. It just didn't feel that

909
00:50:43,159 --> 00:50:44,559
way the other game.

910
00:50:44,679 --> 00:50:48,159
Speaker 4: Like if we're talking about high profile games that received

911
00:50:48,159 --> 00:50:52,679
a ton of media hype, fan hype, and you can

912
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,519
disagree with me on this, Ronald, but I mean, it

913
00:50:54,519 --> 00:50:56,599
has to be the Texas Tech Utah game that was

914
00:50:56,639 --> 00:51:00,280
a dud, That was a twenty four point loss by

915
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:05,440
Utah on their football field. The Big Twelve when they

916
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,280
are featured, I don't think they've done very well in

917
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,599
front of the national spotlight. Agreer, disagree and tell me

918
00:51:13,639 --> 00:51:16,920
where they've done really well. If I'm missing something, I.

919
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:17,559
Speaker 5: Don't think you are.

920
00:51:17,599 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 6: I mean, when you think of Texas Tech Utah, somebody

921
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:24,199
with the bed Utah did right. Obviously, Texas Tech looked great.

922
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,400
Utah did not. That was supposed to be a premier matchup. Now, Ba,

923
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,079
you played Arizona with that same Fox crew. But at

924
00:51:30,119 --> 00:51:32,440
the same time Arizona we weren't thinking it was a

925
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,960
really good football team. Bay you demolished them. Know, the

926
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,079
Big twelve really hasn't had big lomost. The only game

927
00:51:38,119 --> 00:51:40,679
you could possibly say that when they're featured was the

928
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,559
Arizona State Texas game in the playoff. Arizona State looked

929
00:51:44,599 --> 00:51:46,880
really well and are. Honestly, you could argue they can't

930
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,280
scattaboo shit to play running back, quarterback, wide, receive a

931
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,639
tight end, defensive end. So I think that's the only

932
00:51:51,679 --> 00:51:53,880
game I look at in Texas was an old Big

933
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:55,679
twelve team as we know now in the SEC.

934
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 5: That's the only game I got. Will this game live

935
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,960
up to the high is the question?

936
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

937
00:52:03,599 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 4: I love that Game Days is going to be there.

938
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:12,400
I love that it's on ABC. When in BYU football history,

939
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,039
you know how they lived up to the hype. Well,

940
00:52:15,079 --> 00:52:19,960
it's recent, it's very recent. I think the hype surrounding

941
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,800
I know it's the Alamo Bowl, but that was the

942
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:30,159
highest viewed non CFP bowl game in college football eight million,

943
00:52:30,679 --> 00:52:35,400
and BYU lived up to the hype that surrounded that

944
00:52:35,519 --> 00:52:41,000
game destroyed Colorado. Shador Sanders is with his iPad on

945
00:52:41,119 --> 00:52:44,719
the sideline, inquiring. I don't even know what I'm looking at.

946
00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:48,960
I'm confused. My pre snap red is not my post

947
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:53,039
snap read. They're throwing things at me I've never seen before.

948
00:52:53,159 --> 00:52:55,039
And he didn't say all that, but that's what is

949
00:52:55,079 --> 00:52:58,880
his His wide eyed gaze was telling me, and he

950
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:03,000
did say some of that. So I would say, by

951
00:53:03,079 --> 00:53:06,679
You lived up to the hype recently in the Colorado game.

952
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:11,800
I think Big Neon Kickoff this season lived up to

953
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:12,480
the hype.

954
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 5: The form and fashion which by You won.

955
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:19,159
Speaker 4: I think that by You lived up the hype last

956
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,559
year when they faced U of a right, Big noon

957
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:28,719
Kickoff came to town, played well, showcased well. I think

958
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,320
you know in ninety six you know it is a

959
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:36,719
New Year's Ball, Kansas State. You won that game. Many

960
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:38,639
eyes were watching. I don't know what the viewership was,

961
00:53:38,679 --> 00:53:41,559
but that was a big bowl game. You're looking at

962
00:53:41,599 --> 00:53:45,239
these these bowl games. Look, they didn't show up, did

963
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,559
not show out versus Coast Carolina in a pickup football game,

964
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,800
two time zones away. They came a yard short, came

965
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,360
a yard short. Mormons versus the Mullets in that game,

966
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,679
Coast Carolina. That was not a friendly fan base, that

967
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,840
was not a Ki Graci's fan base, nothing like we

968
00:54:03,079 --> 00:54:05,440
experienced at Iowa State two weeks ago.

969
00:54:05,559 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 5: Gost Carolina. They were nasties, They're mullets.

970
00:54:09,119 --> 00:54:11,760
Speaker 4: Anyways, we didn't live up to that hype that pick

971
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:16,039
up college football game. It'd be nice to once again

972
00:54:16,639 --> 00:54:19,360
live up to the hype. And I know Kugarnation is

973
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:24,679
filled with anxiety right now they are. Do they feel

974
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,719
a calming presence heading into this game? Do they feel confident?

975
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,039
Do they feel like their team has arrived like?

976
00:54:33,119 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

977
00:54:33,519 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 5: I don't think they do.

978
00:54:34,559 --> 00:54:36,679
Speaker 4: I think they're still a little bit anxious about who

979
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:41,119
this team is. They're gritty, they're resilient, they're well coached,

980
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,960
they execute they find a way to win. They have

981
00:54:46,119 --> 00:54:51,639
superb special teams are elite, They're great at offense and defense.

982
00:54:52,079 --> 00:54:57,239
They have a true complimentary style college football team. This

983
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:04,119
is the first time in EYU football history that their

984
00:55:04,159 --> 00:55:07,920
team is ranked in the top ten and they're facing

985
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,519

986
00:55:11,079 --> 00:55:11,840
