rivalry week, this Holy War tomorrow at Lavelle Edwards Standalis.

50
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,879
Welcome in the gm ant Brandon Seagerty Listen, g man.

51
00:02:49,759 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 4: I've been doing well. I've all my articles there are in,

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,599
I've broken down the game, I've transcribed all the necessary information.

53
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:00,159
I am well informed about this what is going to

54
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:01,439
happen off Saturday.

55
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: Plus I've been thinking thoughts. I've been thinking a.

56
00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 4: Lot of thoughts the way here, and I think there's

57
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,360
some key ad tips. There's one player on b Wau's

58
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,719
team who I believe needs to have the game of

59
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:17,240
his career and I think he can do it. And

60
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,599
to me, this is going to be the biggest expector.

61
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:20,800
Do you want me to reveal.

62
00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:22,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna do the intro and then I'm

63
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:23,919
gonna have you pontific eight.

64
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: That's called Teams.

65
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,319

66
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,520
in Hambertime show Brett Always bringing the Hamberts on Amazon.

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,199
Speaker 5: It's been an interesting rivalry week for me. We had

68
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:38,680
Nate Ritchie and Keenan Pooley yesterday. We got to interview

69
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:41,000
them in a little post show, which was a ton

70
00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:43,199
of fun, and what I enjoyed most about it was

71
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,120
getting to sit with someone who's on the side of

72
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,319
Utah and just have a fun conversation.

73
00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 6: Lots of good jabs, but like.

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 5: Nothing spiteful, her ful, Like he's talking about what he

75
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,280
likes about BYU, and we're talking about like where we

76
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,240
think Utah can win some things. I had some Utah

77
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,639
accounts a dm me on Instagram because they had some

78
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:03,479
they didn't like.

79
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:04,439
Speaker 6: Some of the things that I said.

80
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:06,759
Speaker 5: And we went and chatted about the Kyle Whittingham press

81
00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:08,919
conference on Monday and they're like, Okay, I understand where

82
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,400
you're coming from.

83
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 6: You understand where I'm coming from.

84
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 5: So I just think, like, if you just have conversations

85
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,560
with people, you realize that you don't hate people as

86
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:18,279
much as you think you do. So I'm really grateful

87
00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:21,000
to have had these conversations heading into the Holy Words.

88
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 4: Can I interject something here and I mean this with

89
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,279
all sincerity, and I'm reminded about of this fact once

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,839
every single year Utah Twitter, you guys need to raise

91
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:36,519
your game. They're not good funny takes. They're not witty.

92
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,839
They always try to shock you and go for the profane,

93
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:40,959
as if that's gonna offend me and all that I

94
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,480
have been inundated with just the dumbest mossophomoric tweets. And

95
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:50,560
it happens every year from the Utah fanbase. I don't

96
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,079
get it. I don't understand why this stemmed from though.

97
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,199
Speaker 3: Why is it that it becomes so bitchline rudimentary, almost

98
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,319
like neanderthalic shock and awe profane commentary. It's it's a

99
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,319
it's the antithesis of what they deem as the self righteous. Yeah, exactly,

100
00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:11,160
the individuals that can't hear a curse word without But

101
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,839
what's funny is without being a gashed and taking back

102
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,040
oh you, oh oh, the profane, the the immoral, like you.

103
00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 4: Know, they're completely ignorant to what I am and what

104
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:25,160
offends me, which is nothing right, and they just come

105
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,000
at me and it's it's really dumb. And every time

106
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,079
I think of shut no, I'm not going to respond

107
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,560
to this, but I would like to encourage you Twitter,

108
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,120
for the fourteen fans listening to us right now, raise

109
00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:41,000
your level of Twitter, inter your ability.

110
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,959
Speaker 1: It's it's dumb. And guess what the rest of the

111
00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:45,120
Big twelve is seeing it.

112
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:51,399
Speaker 4: Their team deserves better acumen put forth by their fan

113
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:52,600
base because it's terrible.

114
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,879
Speaker 1: It is. I'm just gonna say it.

115
00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:57,879
Speaker 4: It's really really bad. And every year it seems to

116
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,279
be getting worse and worse and worse.

117
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: So it's I'm not getting any better, fandom.

118
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 4: Just raise your game, be intelligent, don't go to the

119
00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:07,079
stupid hole of all I'm gonna.

120
00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: No, that doesn't play. No one cares, and and.

121
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,199
Speaker 4: And as working against you is working against your entire program.

122
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: Which is a great football program.

123
00:06:19,439 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 4: That's what drives me eternally crazy about Utah football.

124
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: There is a lot to admire about that team.

125
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:31,319
Speaker 4: They've done an amazing job stealing the recruiting scene, UH manufacturing,

126
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:36,839
NFL talent, but that fan base is just bad, at

127
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,399
least the bulls on social media, at least the vocals.

128
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:40,759
I know a lot of good you guys. I mean

129
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:43,360
my brother in law, who I steem very high.

130
00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:45,199
Speaker 3: You're talking specific about their Twitter game.

131
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm talking about the social media Twitter game.

132
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 3: And I'm not on Instagram as much so Brett, I don't.

133
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,800
I don't know what you say. It's about the same X.

134
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:57,199
Speaker 5: But again, what I've been reminded of is not the

135
00:06:57,319 --> 00:06:59,959
morons on X and on Instagram and on social media.

136
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,279
They don't represent though, the average YOU fan, because you'll

137
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:05,879
meet so many who are just like the nicest people,

138
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:06,759
they're just as nice as me.

139
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 6: But you also meet plenty of dumb BYU fans.

140
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I do fall into that trap.

141
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:13,959
Speaker 4: You tend to define a fan base by the loudest,

142
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,399
most obnoxious voices.

143
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,079
Speaker 1: I do understand that. But there's enough of them on Twitter.

144
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: Guys.

145
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:24,399
Speaker 1: Just stop stop it. You're not funny, you're not shocking.

146
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:28,360
No one cares, no one really, it's white noise, that's

147
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:28,759
what it is.

148
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 4: It's like, oh yeah, it's a stupid U bench trying

149
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:36,079
to be profane a fan. It's it's stom stop anyway,

150
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:39,279
I'm saying this now and for the I think we're

151
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:44,480
reaching sixteen Utah fans that maybe I want to be eternalized.

152
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:47,600
Come back next year and give me a funny take,

153
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,560
give me good smack that I can actually laugh at

154
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,439
and like, yeah, that was good, because I don't get.

155
00:07:53,319 --> 00:08:01,879
Speaker 3: Those get have the same creative levity down your timeline.

156
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,399
Speaker 4: I should say none of them do, but I'd say

157
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,639
ninety percent of my responses for me fans have been terrible.

158
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:12,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, not funny, not clever, just really dumb.

159
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:16,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well, I appreciate that. Shout out to Vic

160
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,360
Cram on the data aggregation. Also, Zach Robinson producing for today,

Speaker 7: I am doing good And I have been sitting staying

163
00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:28,959
off Twitter all week because I know how bad that

164
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,960
Twitter can get when it is rivalry week. And I've

165
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,679
been talking about this all week with the down Dirty

166
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:37,240
with Scott Mitchell.

167
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 6: I've been producing for him all week and.

168
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,639
Speaker 7: Like, there's a lot of respect for this rivalry and

169
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,840
I don't get I have been working under you guys

170
00:08:44,879 --> 00:08:47,399
for like a year now, getting into the BYU scene,

171
00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:49,279
knowing what's going on. With the Utah scenes that I'm

172
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,399
on a lump from the University of Utah. It's it's

173
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,759
interesting to see how much respect there is between the

174
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:58,600
two schools. Somehow, in some way, the fans definitely get

175
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,559
again get on my Utah fans can on my nerves.

176
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,399
B Why you fans can get on my nerves. It's

177
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,080
gonna happen. That's just a natural response. But I do

178
00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:09,320
think it's stupid that, like all fans in general, just

179
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,240
do the dumbest takes and put them in like our

180
00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:15,399
our comment section, where we're just trying to do.

181
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,039
Speaker 1: Our jobs right.

182
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,279
Speaker 7: And I really think this is gonna be a great game.

183
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,200
I think it's gonna be a close game. It's gonna

184
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,639
be a defensive battle. Both of these defenses are really

185
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,799
really good, but both offenses need to start clicking if

186
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,759
they want a chance to win. At this game, Bears

187
00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:31,480
are making some misreads. There's been a lot of miscues

188
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:33,840
on the offense, and that's the same for Utah. So

189
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:35,759
it's gonna be a really close game this week, I think.

190
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:39,759
And it's just it's the holy world. There's a respect

191
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:40,399
for this rivalry.

192
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:40,799
Speaker 6: I've heard.

193
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 7: I heard Coloni Satake say there's a lot of respect

194
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:46,440
in this rivalry, so I'm curious and how how these

195
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:49,320
two teams are gonna respond to each other this on tomorrow.

196
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, many storylines will break them all down here

197

206
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,120
from Connor pay, former Bway offensive lineman Body Schoon over

207
00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:28,279
current BYO defense from Limon kindlau fonohema Nate Ritchie of

208
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,080
the University of Utah. She he's out this game, unfortunately

209
00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:35,480
sustained an injury that is impactful. I do think Nate

210
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,360
Ritchie was the quarterback of that defense. Nate Ritchie was

211
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:41,879
not only the safety, but he was the guy communicating

212
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,120
to make sure everybody else was in position. I think

213
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,600
that's a huge loss for UTAH, A massive loss, quite honestly.

214
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,639
Who can replace him? I'm not sure they have anybody.

Speaker 4: I have two takes and one free each side of

234
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,080
the ball. And when you look at matchups, everyone's being

235
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,799
drawn on the fact that it is very very even

236
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,240
from a coaching perspective, personnel perspective, every perspective.

237
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:11,759
Speaker 1: All the way around.

238
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:13,919
Speaker 4: In fact, the only thing that Kyle Winningham would say,

239
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,120
and he presented it, we're really across the boards statistically,

240
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,799
there's very very little differential, right a Rod versus Morgan

241
00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:26,879
scally wash Right. I loved a Rod's quotes. It's like, well,

242
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,639
we know what that you know that, we know that

243
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:34,240
it's But what he did say is you can't smart yourself.

244
00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:36,759
You gotta stay with what you do and what you

245
00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:40,159
do well and let players be players. And the tendency

246
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,240
to doubt smart yourself is something maybe he's done in

247
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,519
the path that he's seen and maybe he's gonna rectify that.

248
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,720
I think that that was the message. I think that's

249
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:51,039
exactly what you do. So anyway, b what you offensively,

250
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,000
you look at what Arizona presented last week. I think

251
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,559
Arizona is very similar defensively to Utah, especially with how

252
00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:02,879
it boys. It's coverages. What did we see with those coverages?

253
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:03,639
Speaker 3: We saw.

254
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,159
Speaker 4: Very physical application. They left guys on Islands. I think

255
00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:10,679
they were very good. I think they were the best

256
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,799
cornerbacks people he's faced all year. But Arizona did not

257
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:16,720
stack the box. I believe Utah will be stacking the

258
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,720
box and they're going to be at least as physical

259
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,360
as the Arizona defensive backs. And I do not know

260
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,759
if he does defensive backs are quite as good as Arizona's.

261
00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:27,519
Speaker 1: I don't. I think they're good.

262
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 4: But because of that, who didn't really have a good

263
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,120
game relative to the opportunity.

264
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: It was Number two Chase Roberts.

265
00:13:36,799 --> 00:13:41,879
Speaker 4: He struggled right, He was getting covered as tightly as

266
00:13:41,919 --> 00:13:43,000
I've seen all year.

267
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:45,919
Speaker 1: They were physical with him. He dropped to pass. I

268
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,960
think if you talked to Chase, he's probably angry.

269
00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:51,799
Speaker 4: He loves his boy, Parker either they're good buddies, but

270
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:54,120
I mean, these guys are competitors.

271
00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 3: They're seeing Parker Bear just throwing it down not even

272
00:13:57,039 --> 00:13:59,759
looking his way. It's like, dude, I'm over here, come on,

273
00:13:59,879 --> 00:14:00,600
I'm the guy.

274
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm the one you guys wanted back. I'm the

275
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,799
six to four guy with every tool in the box. Right,

276
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:13,720
Chase Roberts needs to be very, very big in this game.

277
00:14:14,159 --> 00:14:16,919
He needs to have a career game. We've said it

278
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:17,559
all this year.

279
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:19,639
Speaker 6: Just give it to the guy.

280
00:14:19,799 --> 00:14:22,039
Speaker 4: He's six y four, He's got amazing speed, he has

281
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:24,840
really good ball skills, and I'm not seeing a cornerback.

282
00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:28,840
Even Smith snowden that that Chase Roberts cannot compete with.

283
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,840
You're going to see at least as physical a matchup

284
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:33,200
as you did against Arizona.

285
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,759
Speaker 1: You have that work on that.

286
00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: I think that that aids him knowing that, man, I

287
00:14:38,159 --> 00:14:40,159
didn't have as good as a game as I should have.

288
00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 4: ES gonna largely be doing this. I'm gonna show something.

289
00:14:43,639 --> 00:14:46,519
I'm gonna show why I came back for my senior season.

290
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,759
I'm going to make plays. And this is where BWAYU

291
00:14:49,879 --> 00:14:53,399
has a big advantage over Utah. Utah doesn't have a

292
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:56,279
Chase Roberts. They don't have someone that can beat you

293
00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:59,159
at any point of the field, that can do everything

294
00:14:59,200 --> 00:14:59,960
as a wide receiver.

295
00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: Use that. Go to it again and again and again.

296
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:04,519
I've said it.

297
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 4: I swear to say this every time I owned the program.

298
00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:11,679
Chase Roberts needs ten targets per game. Ten Yeah, ten

299
00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:14,200
targets against Utah. I'm going to be counting them. If

300
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,440
they're not a route's gonna hear about it. I'm probably

301
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,799
not gonna go there, but but I'll be angry. I'll

302
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,480
be angry about it. Chase Roberts needs to be a guy.

303
00:15:23,919 --> 00:15:26,080
They're going to be stacking that box. He's going to

304
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,519
be afforded single coverage.

305
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: He can beat that.

306
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 4: And he needs to have the game of his career

307
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,399
in this game because that's where Bee we might have

308
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,879
that advantage. Side is Devin Daan Pierre can't complete a

309
00:15:37,919 --> 00:15:41,840
pass over twenty yards. He can't do it, and B

310
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,919
way he's gonna be making him do that.

311
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,159
Speaker 1: U is gonna be doing the same for Bayu.

312
00:15:47,039 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 4: Plus Bear has had to make plays when he absolutely

313
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,200
had to. He he had to do against Colorado, he

314
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,559
had to do against Arizona. He responded, I don't like

315
00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:00,720
that he threw two interceptions last week. That gives you pop, certainly,

316
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:04,759
But Devin Tampier really hasn't been forced to make a play.

317
00:16:04,879 --> 00:16:07,919
Speaker 1: He has not been in that situation. He was against

318
00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:10,879
Texas attack and guess what he didn't. He's going to

319
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,200
have to make plays in this game.

320
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 4: He's going to have to have that situation where he's

321
00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:19,000
got to throw a dot on a third and eight situation,

322
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:20,840
and I don't know if he can do that.

323
00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:23,759
Speaker 1: I don't know that he can't do that. Maybe he can,

324
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:24,279
I don't know.

325
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,039
Speaker 4: But Bear has that advantage, and he has number two

326
00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:31,159
that can be in the ultimate bailout. That needs to

327
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,240
be a connection, that needs to be He needs to

328
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,519
be afforded more targets than any time of this year

329
00:16:35,519 --> 00:16:36,919
because they're gonna be stacking that box.

330
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: LJ. Martin's not going to have the running LANs he

331
00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:41,919
did last week against Arizona. It's not gonna happen. It's

332
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,519
just not gonna be there. I'm not saying they can't.

333
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,279
Speaker 4: I think they can run it somewhat effectively, but it's

334
00:16:47,279 --> 00:16:49,360
not gonna be what Arizona did because they're not gonna

335
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,200
be because they will be sacking that box. Chase Roberts

336
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:55,960
needs to be a guy ten targets minimum for number two.

337
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: Respond game of your career. Make yourself memorable. This is

338
00:16:59,279 --> 00:16:59,759
the game to do.

339
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,679
Speaker 4: But Chase Roberts, I'm looking at you. That is my

340
00:17:02,879 --> 00:17:06,799
number one X factor on this BAYU offense defensively.

341
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:09,559
Speaker 1: That's what I said before.

342
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: Can I just chime in on your offensive side of things.

343
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,079
Speaker 1: Well, it's your show.

344
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,519
Speaker 3: Well I'll just tell you I know, but I'm I'm

345
00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:19,079
not a tyrant, and I don't just take over the

346
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,720
show when someone is on a on a tyrant. Tyrant

347
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,039
was a tyrant. It was awesome BYU has won the

348
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,359
last two and you wonder, okay, well why is it

349
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,839
they won the last two? I would say under Fesci,

350
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,799
we have had more wide receivers come through talent wise

351
00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:40,480
that can win in one on one coverage than we

352
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,880
ever have before. And we've had some good quarterbacks too

353
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,640
to be able to distribute them even like look at

354
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:51,359
at Home versus Utah in twenty twenty one. Now Kyle

355
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,799
will say they lost the trench warfare battle. I agree

356
00:17:55,799 --> 00:17:58,279
with that. Tyler ale Year was able to milk the

357
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,160
clock late and that offense line blocked at Stremewell. There's

358
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,680
a talented offensive line, but there was also one on

359
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:05,839
one coverage that was one and so there's a balance

360
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,079
of a good run game with one on one beaters

361
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,839
with talent, whether it was Samson right Puka. Now you

362
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,000
have Parker Chase, you expect them to be able to

363
00:18:17,079 --> 00:18:20,400
win in press coverage. You have to have them win

364
00:18:20,519 --> 00:18:24,559
in press coverage Carson Rank and he win versus these safeties,

365
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,440
linebackers or nickel corners. That's also an intriguing battle.

366
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 4: Continue my other mismatch, and I think this one's rather obvious,

367
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,799
but I think it's worth pointing out. As I just mentioned,

368
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,440
Arod Scaley wash whatever, maybe even an edge to Morgan Scalley,

369
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,440
even though A has been absolutely tremendous.

370
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,319
Speaker 1: I think the way your fans are finally realizing just

371
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,599
how good he is.

372
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 4: On the other side of the ball, you have Gary Anderson,

373
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,720
you have Sion Pua, you have Kelly popinga. Jay Hill

374
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:58,640
obviously justin Enna versus Jason Beck, MICUs Simon, and I

375
00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:01,039
like those guys. I think Jason Beck a talented guy,

376
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,240
but not having the framework going into this game relative

377
00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:09,960
to what Gary Anderson and Jay Hill have that is

378
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,200
a potential mismatch. I won't say it's a definitive mismatch

379
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,559
because I think Jason Beck is a smart guy. I

380
00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:20,319
think he's capable, but potentially you know that Jay Hill

381
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,519
has something. They've done advance work. They understand these concepts,

382
00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:29,240
they understand this game and the fact that Utah has

383
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,039
not been in a tight situation where it has to

384
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,680
make plays that could be a thing, that could absolutely

385
00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:39,319
be a thing in this game. And I take Jay

386
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,920
Hill and his defensive staff any day of the week

387
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,880
with game prep, execution, and just formulating everything that needs

388
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,960
to happen against Utah every time over Jason Beck and

389
00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:54,480
his staff. That's the one mismatch I'm seeing and it

390
00:19:54,599 --> 00:19:59,200
could be glaring, and I don't see any argument against that.

391
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,519
Who's not going to take Gary Anderson and Jay Hill

392
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,359
over a brand new, first year offensive coordinator, a quarterback

393
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,240
that hasn't been on in the raucous road environment.

394
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:10,759
Speaker 1: That's the thing.

395
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: I mean.

396
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: Everyone's talking about Bear all, how's Bear gonna handle it?

397
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,119
I know how Bear's gonna handle it.

398
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 4: He's gonna handle it well, he's been there, he's his

399
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,039
I don't know how Devin dan Pier's gonna handle it.

400
00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: Bear has proven himself.

401
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:26,039
Speaker 4: More at this level in tight situations, situations where he

402
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,839
has to make play going against adversity, than Devin dan

403
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,880
Pier has up to this point. Yeah, I'm not saying

404
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,079
it saying Devin dan Peer has it can't do it.

405
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,400
I'm just saying I haven't seen it until I see it.

406
00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:38,880
I'm not gonna believe that that he can do it

407
00:20:39,799 --> 00:20:43,359
because because they're gonna have something for him. They're gonna

408
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,079
have something he hasn't seen before. They're gonna have Jack Kelly,

409
00:20:46,319 --> 00:20:49,039
They're gonna have Isaiah Glasker. So anyway, as you can

410
00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:52,079
maybe note from my comments, I've become more and more

411
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,680
confident in b Way's ability to win this game as

412
00:20:54,759 --> 00:20:56,680
the week's drawn on. I'll be honest with you, after

413
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,400
that Arizona game, I'm like, dude, you just gonna hand

414
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:04,359
it to him. Utah's ready, They're rare to go. Monday,

415
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,000
I was kind of in the same line of thinking.

416
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,319
Speaker 3: Tuesday, I was like, I don't know, because I've been

417
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,440
thinking thoughts. I've been thinking lots and lots, Babe, Yes,

418
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:14,279
I have. I like Bwayu in this game because it's

419
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,400
going to be tight. I like Bway's ability in a

420
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,559
tight game more than Utah's, and I think Bau's gonna

421
00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:23,519
win this game probably something seventeen to sixteen, seventeen to thirteen.

422
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 4: It's going to be low scoring that favors Bayu. Bway's

423
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,039
going to control that clock. They're going to be using

424
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,039
every second of that play clock. Because that's the team's strength.

425
00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:35,400
They know what they're doing. I think the identity stronger

426
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,799
on b WAYU sided the ball, especially on the offensive side.

427
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,480
And I haven't even mentioned special teams, which I think

428
00:21:41,519 --> 00:21:44,440
will come into play as well. Bway's going to win

429
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:48,960
this game. I'm kind of confident. The one thing that

430
00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:52,839
gives me pauses. Utah's offensive line is really really good,

431
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,880
really yes, really good. And if they if they can

432
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,079
find that gash and just go and five six yards

433
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,440
per carry, that's that's gonna change everything. And Utah's offensive

434
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,440
line is absolutely capable of doing that. Can be way

435
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,960
you withstand that b where yous front seven. The play

436
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:14,759
is a lot better this year that they can stand

437
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,799
up to a certain degree. But you're going to go

438
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,680
up against the best offensive line of the country.

439
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,039
Speaker 1: I believe it. They're very, very good. But you mitigate

440
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,720
that to even any.

441
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,039
Speaker 4: Degree, and I like the way used chances. But if

442
00:22:28,079 --> 00:22:30,119
you're Utah, you rely on that offensive front.

443
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 6: You get behind him.

444
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: That's what they did last week against Arizona State.

445
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 4: I think during the bye week they you reevaluate a

446
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,200
lot of things, and I think that was part of

447
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,039
the reevaluation.

448
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,079
Speaker 1: We got these dudes, let's just go off tackle, right,

449
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,079
I'll tackle Levet.

450
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 3: Just do what we do.

451
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 4: And I kind of thought that's what Utah would trend

452
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,079
toward at the beginning of the season. That's absolutely what

453
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,640
they're gonna try against. Be way you and we'll say,

454
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:54,920
I'll be where you with stands.

455
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,319
Speaker 3: It, bred I know you delved into this. What's the

456
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,640
weakness of the University of Utah that BYU can't expose

457
00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:05,359
at Lavelle Edwards this Saturday.

458
00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 5: It's so interesting when you look at almost every Big

459
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:12,839
twelve matchup at Big twelve stat whether it's scoring, offense,

460
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,119
scoring defense, pass defense, like even the ones so BYU

461
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,200
and Utah are elite in Big twelve.

462
00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:20,039
Speaker 6: Ranks at almost everything.

463
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 5: One of the things that Utah is not great at

464
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,880
in Big twelve ranks and neither is BYU is passing

465
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,680
offense both. I think BYUS twelve and Utah is thirteen

466
00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:30,880
or either way. But like they're neck and neck at everything,

467
00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:36,279
including offensive efficiency, defensive efficiency. Like nearly everything, these guys

468
00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:39,839
are neck and neck. The one place in terms of

469
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,680
Big time stats in Big twelve ranks.

470
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 6: Where they differ is rush defense.

471
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 5: Utah is the ninth best big twelve rushing defense BYU

472
00:23:50,079 --> 00:23:50,880
has the second.

473
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 6: And what's interesting is the one team that.

474
00:23:54,279 --> 00:23:59,559
Speaker 5: Both BYU, that's one team BYU and Utah share so

475
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,240
far this season is West Virginia. And in that game,

476
00:24:03,319 --> 00:24:05,559
b WHATU gave up one hundred and fifty six rushing

477
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,160
yards to West Virginia Utah. I know lots of Utah

478
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,240
fans wanted to say, oh, well, we beat West Virginia

479
00:24:12,279 --> 00:24:14,160
by more points than you did, and you guys didn't

480
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,200
score as many as we did. Well, you know what's funny,

481
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,440
Utah gave up two hundred and sixty one yards on

482
00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:24,519
the ground in a game they claim to have dominated.

483
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,440
If BYU's offensive line gets Bear and LJ going and

484
00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:32,799
they have big days, you could see a similar situation

485
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,759
to Texas Tech where, look, I know the score of

486
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,079
Texas Tech says that the Red Raiders blew out Utah.

487
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 6: If you watch the game, you know that the score

488
00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:43,279
was close for a long time.

489
00:24:43,599 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 5: Texas Tech just exploded in the last six minutes because

490
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:48,720
Utah had given up at that point.

491
00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 6: I think you could see something.

492
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 5: Similar where if Utah wastes the first couple possessions and

493
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,720
Jay Hills defense shows up like we think they will.

494
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,920
BYU finds a way to lean on this run game,

495
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,920
because if they have to get into a pass game,

496
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,599
I think the Fano and John Henry Daily could cause

497
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,680
some problems in the pass rush. They're one of the

498
00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:10,799
best pass rush is one of the best pressure rated

499
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,920
defenses in college football. If BYU finds a way to

500
00:25:15,039 --> 00:25:17,480
run the ball and just own time of possession and

501
00:25:17,599 --> 00:25:19,960
own the line of scrimmage from that point, they could

502
00:25:20,039 --> 00:25:22,559
steal a couple of sessions from Utah and really keep

503
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,799
them out of it for a long time.

504
00:25:24,079 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 4: You mentioned John Henry Daily. The guy's phenomenal. Yeah, absolutely.

505
00:25:28,519 --> 00:25:30,119
Every game I watch is like, how did be?

506
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 3: What you do?

507
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,079
Speaker 1: I know? Did my goodness?

508
00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 4: I thought he was going to be amazing. I'll be honest,

509
00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:37,680
I did not think he'd be this good this soon.

510
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,839
Isaiah Jada is going to make or not make his

511
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,039
money in this game. If he can put on film

512
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,519
that he can stop a talent like John Henry Daily,

513
00:25:47,599 --> 00:25:49,319
it's going to be a big, big thing for him.

514
00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:52,160
This is the biggest game for Isaiah Jada. He's going

515
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,759
to be on that island. Utah doesn't rotate. It's defensive

516
00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:56,599
ends at least not from what I've seen this year.

517
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,359
It's going to be Isaiah Jada versus John Henry Daily

518
00:25:59,519 --> 00:26:02,119
all long. And John has been very good this year.

519
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,000
He's gonna have the toughest test of his career. I

520
00:26:06,039 --> 00:26:08,160
don't think it's even close because John Henry Day is

521
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,599
an absolute monster on that side of the line.

522
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: And that's going to be a big, big matchup in

523
00:26:13,079 --> 00:26:13,440
this game.

524
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I do think one of the more intriguing matchups

525
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,319
is Isaiah Jatta and Andrew Gentry versus Logan Fano and

526
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:26,119
John Henry Daily. Like that's that may make or break BYU, right,

527
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,960
if you're able to protect Bear and give him a

528
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
little bit more time and give him some opportunity to

529
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:33,920
get through his progressions, et cetera. Because I mean, Andrew

530
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,440
and Isaiah have been really good this year. Yeah, they've

531
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,160
been great in the run game, and I think for

532
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,160
the most part, they've been pretty good in the past game. Yeah,

533
00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:43,039
you know, I think they've been I think there you

534
00:26:43,079 --> 00:26:45,680
can make an argument that they're better than even last

535
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:49,039
year's duo cayleb TN and Briton Khim, who I thought

536
00:26:49,079 --> 00:26:52,319
were great tackles for BYU. Very talented tackles.

537
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 4: You know how I said that, I want by you

538
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:58,000
to use its seniority and just field twenty six year

539
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,799
old grown men on that offensive line. Andrew Gentry is

540
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,640
the template for that fifteen Andrew Gentries in the program.

541
00:27:04,839 --> 00:27:08,160
Just rotate them in and out. The guy can grow

542
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,599
facial hair since he was probably ten years old.

543
00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: Just the ass man.

544
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Andrew, anyway, that's kind of a side note, but

545
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,519
that's what I'm envisioning for Bay's future on that offense line.

546
00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:19,839
Speaker 1: Anyway.

547
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 3: Sorry, love it man, a little bit of a tent.

00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:33,400
is it that the national media favors Utah in this game?

569
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,960
Vegas favoring Utah in this game. We're gonna hear from

570
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,559
Joe Klatt. This is his justification for why Okay, Utah

571
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,279
should be favored in this game. You're gonna hear it

572
00:28:44,319 --> 00:28:46,119

Utah game, the Holy War. But yeah, tn G a

c D band and Shong of the Day uh G

602
00:30:20,119 --> 00:30:22,799
man is gonna be It's gonna be lively. It's gonna

603
00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:25,480
be dynamite down there in Provo on Saturday.

604
00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:26,559
Speaker 1: It's gonna be spectacularly.

605
00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 4: And I feel it's redundant to say this because I

606
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,759
think I say this every year, but the stakes have

607
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,119
been raised. It's going to be physical. Utah is going

608
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,559
to be out for it. They want this game. They

609
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,319
want to take back that narrative big time. Bayu has

610
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:43,200
the narrative right now. They're winning the recruiting battles. B

611
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,119
Yu is the premier destination in the state right now.

612
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,319
Utah needs to change that. They need to get that

613
00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:52,519
back because Utah, because not b Ways afforded the same staff,

614
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:57,960
the same uh uh even more resources than Utah has

615
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,079
as far as nil goes. That's a thing and Utah

616
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,000
needs to get that back, and they need to get

617
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,400
it back pretty fast because Bwau has a lot going

618
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:06,759
for it.

619
00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:07,799
Speaker 1: And when you look at.

620
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 4: Utah's roster, imagine this Utah team without Logan and Spencerfano,

621
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,400
without Smith Snowden.

622
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting some guys Jared comp.

623
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,279
Speaker 3: Starting to singer in this game, which was a big

624
00:31:22,359 --> 00:31:22,839
loss for them.

625
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,839
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, guys, if those the same guys were

626
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,119
recruited right now, they're going to BYU. They are going

627
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,160
and Utah needs to keep those type of guys with

628
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,880
the in state recruiting going to Utah right now, those

629
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:37,920
guys are going to b WAYU.

630
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,839
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, And I don't know about Utah.

631
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 4: Win necessarily flips that on a dime, but it certainly

632
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,079
helps Utah get back in.

633
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: That regard because b WAYU has credibility.

634
00:31:46,359 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 4: Now that it did not have when those guys were

635
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,960
being recruited the way you need to maintain that.

636
00:31:51,039 --> 00:31:53,599
Speaker 1: They need to stomp on that. John Henry Daly's absolutely

637
00:31:53,599 --> 00:31:54,680
staying up. B Wait you right.

638
00:31:57,359 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 5: You.

639
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,039
Speaker 1: That's a big, big thing. That's a big component in

640
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,079
this game getting that recruiting back.

641
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 4: And that's why I believe that Bway's on a more

642
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,680
productive uptick than Utah is. Because you look at the

643
00:32:10,759 --> 00:32:13,079
recruiting classes. B way you starting to win those battles

644
00:32:13,319 --> 00:32:15,960
and getting those guys. It has to change for the

645
00:32:16,079 --> 00:32:16,759
University of Utah.

646
00:32:16,839 --> 00:32:19,599
Speaker 1: They know this. They want this game. Hey, we're the

647
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,440
big boys. It's back. It never left. We're still there.

648
00:32:24,279 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 4: They haven't won a game since twenty nineteen. That is

649
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,319
a long time, and b WAUS controlled that narrative. They're

650
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,400
the sexy school. They have the coach that everybody loves,

651
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,680
everyone wants to play for. They're putting dudes in the

652
00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:39,240
NFL that are winning recruiting battles. You want that to continue.

653
00:32:39,359 --> 00:32:41,599
So obviously, I'm always going to be concerned about the

654
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,319
recruiting aspect. Working with two four to seven sports I

655
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,559
was my foundation, That's how I started with all this.

656
00:32:46,759 --> 00:32:49,920
But that's a huge component in this game, and Utah's

657
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,160
got to flip that narrative.

658
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: What's interesting is, like I would say, Vegas and the

659
00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:58,839
national media and we'll see what Game Day says, what

660
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,440
Big Newton kickoffs says, But the favorite in this game

661
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:06,440
is Utah. Yeah right, And what's the justification for it?

662
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:08,480
This is the justification. Bard Let's get into a Joe

663
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:12,880
Klatt on his show on Fox Sports pontificated on why

664
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,720
he believes Utah is gonna come out victorious versus the

665
00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:17,880
Bayu Cougar's Let's listen in.

666
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 9: This is a huge Top twenty five matchup and really

667
00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:24,319
is going to separate the top end of the Big twelve.

668
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,359
The winner of this game inside track to go and

669
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,920
play for the Big twelve championship. And when you look

670
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,160
at Utah, they've gotten back on track. I know that

671
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:38,119
we saw them on Big Noon Saturday and they really

672
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,839
failed down the stretch. They got tired and Texas Tech

673
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,519
took it to him in the fourth quarter, and that

674
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,680
was impressive for the Red Raiders. But now you look

675
00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:49,839
up and Utah has two dominant performances in their rearview

676
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,599
mirror since that lost to Tech. Devin dan Pierre looks healthy.

677
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,839
He was not healthy in that Tech game. He last

678
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,920
week against Arizona State rushed for one hundred and twenty yards.

679
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:03,480
So dan Pierre being healthy makes me believe that this

680
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:08,559
Utah offense could be explosive in particular run in the football,

681
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:09,480
and that.

682
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 6: Does not compute for Byu.

683
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,119
Speaker 9: I know BYU's played well on the defensive side, but

684
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:17,000
this is an offense that I just don't think is

685
00:34:17,039 --> 00:34:18,519
going to be able to score a ton of points,

686
00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:22,079
even as well as they've played. And I'll give Bear

687
00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:24,960
Brockmeyer a lot of credit because as a true freshman,

688
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,880
he's come in and played really well and allowed them

689
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,000
to run the football well.

690
00:34:29,079 --> 00:34:29,559
Speaker 6: With LJ.

691
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 9: Mortin, that's kind of a two headed monster there, LJ.

692
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,239
Martin averaging over one hundred yards per game. I do

693
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,039
think they're a bit limited on offense, and that's a

694
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:40,719
problem going up against Utah because of the scheme that

695
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,280
they use. See, Utah runs so much man coverage that

696
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,760
the box is always heavy with run defenders. And if

697
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,239
you can't get away from that man coverage or find

698
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,960
explosive plays to get them out of that man coverage,

699
00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:55,280
then where do you go. You see Tech was able

700
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,360
to throw the football down the field in one on

701
00:34:57,519 --> 00:34:59,199
one situations in the fourth quarter.

702
00:34:59,559 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 3: Is by you going to be able to do that?

703
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 10: I don't think so.

704
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,199
Speaker 9: By the way, BYU's linebacker on their defensive side, he

705
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,800
missed last week's game. His name's Jack Kelly. He had

706
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,800
an upper body injury and so he's a bit uncertain

707
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,880
for this one. And you're going up against a Utah

708
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,000
offense that can run it really well, in particular with

709
00:35:18,079 --> 00:35:21,679
their quarterback Devin dan Pierre. I think Utah keeps this

710
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,039
thing rolling. I think they put themselves back on track

711
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,119
to get to the Big Twelve Championship game. This was

712
00:35:28,199 --> 00:35:30,719
my dark horse to go to the playoff from the

713
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,440
Big Twelve. I think they still have a great chance

714
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:35,920
if they keep playing the way that they have the

715
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,519
last couple of weeks to get to that Big Twelve

716
00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:42,239
Championship game with only the one loss to Texas Tech. Now,

717
00:35:42,679 --> 00:35:44,840
then you'd start to have to consider yourself like, well,

718
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,960
hold on, is the Big Twelve gonna get two teams

719
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,880
in this thing? Because eleven to one with maybe a

720
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,639
loss to Texas Tech for a second time, eleven and two, Utah,

721
00:35:54,199 --> 00:35:56,599
do they have a good enough resume to potentially sneak

722
00:35:56,639 --> 00:35:59,840
themselves into the College Football Playoff. There's a chance, there's

723
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,519
a chance. And so in this one, this is a

724
00:36:02,679 --> 00:36:05,559
massive game. I don't see BYU scoring many points in

725
00:36:05,639 --> 00:36:07,800
this game. I like Utah to cover the three and

726
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,920
a half. I like them to win this one something

727
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,079
like twenty one thirteen. It's going to be nasty, defensive

728
00:36:13,159 --> 00:36:16,400
oriented early in this game. That is as nasty a

729
00:36:16,519 --> 00:36:21,800
rivalry as there is. Right there you go, that's Joe Clapp.

730
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,679
Speaker 4: With all due respect to Joel Klapp, his diagnosis of

731
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:30,440
the respective offenses is completely wrong, completely wrong. Who's been

732
00:36:30,519 --> 00:36:32,760
multifaceted in their offensive attack?

733
00:36:33,039 --> 00:36:35,119
Speaker 1: B way you were? Utah? B what you has?

734
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 6: B way?

735
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 1: You have shown that ability to beat you down the field?

736
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,159
Utah has not. You has been very very good.

737
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:42,559
Speaker 4: When it goes back to what it does, well, get

738
00:36:42,639 --> 00:36:46,199
behind that massive offense line, go you have a dynamic quarterback.

739
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,559
Speaker 1: They can do that very very well, beat you down

740
00:36:48,599 --> 00:36:49,800
the field. When has Utah done that?

741
00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:50,199
Speaker 3: What?

742
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 5: What?

743
00:36:51,039 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: Which game did that happen? Did I miss that game?

744
00:36:53,559 --> 00:36:54,039
Speaker 6: You must say?

745
00:36:55,039 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 3: I think I've watched it in the Texas. I've seen

746
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,000
it connect but it was uh I think it was

747
00:37:01,039 --> 00:37:01,920
called called.

748
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: Back Okay, one play, one player, Okay, good on.

749
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 5: You, But I mean it went so far because they

750
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,639
were illegally blocking downfield. So therefore the safety didn't realize

751
00:37:10,679 --> 00:37:12,199
that he was supposed to be in past coverage that

752
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:12,920
I came back.

753
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,559
Speaker 1: You're taking Utah's receivers over Chase Roberts and Parker Kings.

754
00:37:18,199 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 5: But this is why he has to because if you

755
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,559
remember during the off season. What did Joe Clatt say

756
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:26,599
top five teams I'm buying sock in this season? Was

757
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,639
Utah was one of those. Guess who was on the

758
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,239
top five listed? He was selling this season. He needs

759
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,880
BYU to not do well in the game because he

760
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,519
already made the take that and he's already looked bad.

761
00:37:37,559 --> 00:37:41,159
Speaker 6: Because that's why he's saying, oh, well, seven looked that good.

762
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,039
Speaker 3: Not only that, he's a Pack twelve acolyte. Yes, he's

763
00:37:44,079 --> 00:37:45,079
a Colorado.

764
00:37:44,639 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 5: Colorado Maybe you know he's like Colorado's all time greatest

765
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,719
I guess besides Schador, but he hold he held the

766
00:37:50,119 --> 00:37:51,280
records at Colorado.

767
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: And you're saying he might be biased.

768
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,159
Speaker 3: Wow, No, no, I would say that a lot of that.

769
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,880
But that being said, like Vegas is lean, Okay, I've

770
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,519
want to give this Vegas. I want to get this

771
00:38:01,559 --> 00:38:04,079
out of the way. Las Vegas is not in the

772
00:38:04,199 --> 00:38:06,679
predictive game. The game they're in.

773
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 4: They want to make ball games. They're in the making

774
00:38:09,559 --> 00:38:13,199
money game. Utah, what did Utah do last week? They

775
00:38:13,639 --> 00:38:17,000
put stopped Arizona State, a team that oh wow, that

776
00:38:17,119 --> 00:38:20,119
team almost took Texas down in the college football play.

777
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 5: Wow.

778
00:38:20,559 --> 00:38:21,119
Speaker 1: Utah is good.

779
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,039
Speaker 4: They're winning forty two ten the way you wow, they're

780
00:38:24,039 --> 00:38:26,880
struggling to get past Arizona is not that good. So

781
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,719
it's all perception is perception from the public that are

782
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,239
sitting in that sports book that are placing the money down.

783
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,280
They want to get same equal amount of money on

784
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,239
both sides of the ledgers so they can live off

785
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,159
the ten percent big That's what Vegas does.

786
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: That's they're very, very good at that.

787
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 4: I cannot stand the phrase, and I heard it right

788
00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:48,599
after the bway Arizona Ga. Vegas is really good when

789
00:38:48,679 --> 00:38:52,360
when the when that spreads like right there, okay, is

790
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,639
Vegas good? When the spreads off by forty points, which

791
00:38:55,679 --> 00:38:57,679
happens all the time, happens.

792
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,199
Speaker 1: Vegas is not in the predictive game. They do not care.

793
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 4: They care about attracting money and making money on both

794
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,360
sides of the ledger. It tries me crazy when they

795
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,559
put up that Utah is going to win by three

796
00:39:08,599 --> 00:39:10,360
and a half points. It's not because it's some sharp

797
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,280
Oh yeah, I've broken down the tape and all this,

798
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,000
and yeah, you tell is that much about?

799
00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: No, that's not what it's about. No, what's the perception

800
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:17,880
all this and all that.

801
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 4: They put out initial lines and the initial money comes in,

802
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,760
it moves the line one way or the other, and

803
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,039
the money came in for Utah.

804
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: There you go, three and a half. They're very good

805
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,559
at what they do. But I just wanted to ran

806
00:39:29,639 --> 00:39:30,880
on that because I think a lot of.

807
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:35,039
Speaker 4: People misunderstand what Vegas really does and how wines are set.

808
00:39:35,679 --> 00:39:37,599
Speaker 3: Four or two against the spread this year, the last

809
00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:41,679
two weeks they didn't cover. I'll tell you what.

810
00:39:42,039 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 4: I'll tell you where Vegas is wrong that forty nine

811
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,880
and a half. Take that under all day long, Take

812
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,440
that d dark well. I don't want to advocate highway.

813
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,239
I don't want to advocate taking the dark desert highway.

814
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,039
But if you do, yeah, go to that sports but

815
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,840
play some money on that game. Is not over fifty points?

816
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:01,519
Are you kidding me?

817
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 3: No?

818
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:02,119
Speaker 1: Way?

819
00:40:02,519 --> 00:40:06,519
Speaker 3: No interesting is ESPN analytics does slightly by zero point

820
00:40:06,639 --> 00:40:11,599
six percentage points favor BYU the advanced analytics, which is FPI,

821
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,760
et cetera. And I didn't see Bill Conley's analytics. Did

822
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,440
Bill favor I think Bill may have even picked I

823
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,039
think Bill may have favored BYU slightly too there, But

824
00:40:23,159 --> 00:40:26,760
there is sp plus metric quite interesting as you pull

825
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,960
it up, Utah is a slightly better team from an

826
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,360
efficiency standpoint. Through this year, sp plus has Utah is

827
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:41,199
the eighteenth best team I believe. Let's see here, let

828
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,559
me double check on this BYU's at twenty three and

829
00:40:44,679 --> 00:40:47,960
then Utah, I want to say, is right there. I

830
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,599
mean they're pretty close. Sixteen So Utah sixteen BI twenty three.

831
00:40:52,599 --> 00:40:55,679
Utah's offense thus far the season thirty third, their defense

832
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,760
six special teams forty eight from sp plus, which is

833
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,679
a predictive efficiency metric based off of what they've already

834
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:10,880
been produced and its opponent adjusted for BYU's offense fortieth

835
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,199
their defense fifteenth. But check this out, special teams are

836
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,280
sixth in the nation. So the biggest disparity is actually

837
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:24,119
the special teams units BYU. Special teams units significantly better

838
00:41:24,199 --> 00:41:27,159
than Utah's. That's not always how it's been in this

839
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,159
rivalry game. In fact, it's been the opposite. BYU has

840
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,800
lost games due to special teams. YU won their game

841
00:41:34,039 --> 00:41:37,000
last year due to special teams. Oh for sure, Kewen

842
00:41:37,039 --> 00:41:39,199
Mary doesn't return that kickout there and the game winning

843
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,519
field goal. Now, so that to me that no one

844
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,880
like Joe Klatt's not talking about that any of the

845
00:41:47,599 --> 00:41:52,480
the superficial analysts out there, They're not going to discuss

846
00:41:52,639 --> 00:41:55,199
those things. He's gonna say the old adage is of

847
00:41:55,559 --> 00:42:01,840
pressman coverage, pressman coverage, pressman coverage, b why you can't

848
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,079
beat press man coverage. And that's what I'm saying, Like

849
00:42:05,159 --> 00:42:08,760
that's changed over the last five years. It has why

850
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,760
VESI has brought in wide receivers that have played in

851
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,679
the NFL. Dax Milne, Pukakua Sampson was a borderline NFL guy,

852
00:42:17,039 --> 00:42:19,840
was in camps right, he scored a touchdown in this game.

853
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,599
One like he made that Utah defensive back look chilly

854
00:42:23,679 --> 00:42:26,920
on that whip route. Chase Roberts can win, Parker can win,

855
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:33,280
Cody Hagen can win. These guys can win versus coverage that. Yeah,

856
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,480
maybe in the independent era or in the Mount West era,

857
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,039
some of these wide receivers struggled with because you didn't

858
00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:41,320
have you have maybe one or two good wide receivers.

859
00:42:42,559 --> 00:42:45,480
Now they have three or four, five guys.

860
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,599
Speaker 4: And I'll have this and I talked to a lot

861
00:42:47,639 --> 00:42:50,000
of youth insiders. These aren't guys that are b way.

862
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,679
You homers that know things about Utah. These are rock solid,

863
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:58,119
you guys. I heard throughout the preseason that Utah's cornerbacks

864
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,639
they're okay, they're not really what we've had in the past,

865
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,159
and you Dodd really hasn't been tested.

866
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,119
Speaker 3: In the air at all this year When they were

867
00:43:07,199 --> 00:43:08,800
I mean Will Hannon in the back of the quarterback,

868
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,679
he shredded him, completely demolished.

869
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: He shredded them.

870
00:43:12,119 --> 00:43:15,519
Speaker 4: So you like that again. I go back to what

871
00:43:15,639 --> 00:43:18,599
I started the program with. This is Chase Roberts' game.

872
00:43:19,119 --> 00:43:22,760
This is where he makes himself legendary, where he shreds

873
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,039
that that man coverage.

874
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,119
Speaker 1: I hope he's angry.

875
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 6: I hope he's.

876
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: Outside of him something.

877
00:43:26,519 --> 00:43:28,599
Speaker 4: It's hard for me to imagine an angry Chase Roberts

878
00:43:28,639 --> 00:43:32,000
because he's just such a nice kid and just the

879
00:43:32,079 --> 00:43:34,360
kid every mom wants to see their daughter come home with.

880
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:35,119
Speaker 1: Right.

881
00:43:35,559 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 4: I hope he's angry. I hope he's jealous of Parker

882
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,920
that that on unhooked the trailer. Yeah, I'll show you

883
00:43:41,039 --> 00:43:45,440
on hooking the trailer. Let's go right, Arizona. Now, man,

884
00:43:45,519 --> 00:43:48,679
I'm six four, I'm a man. I am older than

885
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,320
these guys. I'm faster, I'm more physical, I nah ah,

886
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,480
it's not happening. Give me the ball, give me that target.

887
00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:58,280
I want him in thehuddle. Bear look at me, dude,

888
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,000
look at me right now. Get the Austin CALLI think

889
00:44:01,119 --> 00:44:03,840
Max Hall thing going because he's going to be afforded

890
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,800
one on one coverage. He's going to be open and

891
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,880
he's going to eat. I Bear, lets him eat. This

892
00:44:10,039 --> 00:44:12,559
is Chase Roberts game. I'm telling you, Chase Ropers is

893
00:44:12,639 --> 00:44:13,960
going to have a phenomenal game.

894
00:44:14,079 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: He's going to have career highs. I'm seeing a Mongers.

895
00:44:16,519 --> 00:44:19,039
I'm seeing this. He's going to be afford to ten targets.

896
00:44:19,079 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 4: He's going to have over one hundred yards receiving in

897
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,440
at least one touchdown. That's what Chase Ropers is going

898
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,559
to do come Saturday. This is going to be his game.

899
00:44:25,639 --> 00:44:27,159
I'm seeing it. I have foreseen it.

900
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 3: I love it.

901
00:44:28,199 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 1: Man, it's going to happen.

902
00:44:29,679 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 3: Let's go to break, we'll be back. I want to

903
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,280
get into some stats. Have you gotten stool president a

904
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,360

906
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I like it. I know, I know. Hammertime

00:44:43,639 --> 00:44:45,199
show love and you got to be young in him.

908
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 4: It's not that I dislike the Portinois. I really don't

909
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,280
have an opinion about him, to be honest with I

910
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:50,239
guess I'm too old for that.

911
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 3: He gives some ratings.

912
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,559
Speaker 1: I want his job. I do know that, I absolutely want.

913
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,599
Speaker 3: This is more of a jealousy thing that you maybe

914
00:44:58,639 --> 00:45:00,400
maybe a little bit that's the jealous a little bit

care that. No, we need all the sauces. I mean,

998
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:04,519
All right, let's get into this Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports. Okay,

999
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,880
he's in town, he's in Provo, this guy who's a

1000
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:13,000
bit of a controversial figure in sports. Why is that, Well,

1001
00:49:13,599 --> 00:49:18,440
Barstool Sports is viewed as kind of a bottom of

1002
00:49:18,559 --> 00:49:22,599
the wrong sports entertainment company. You know, it's kind of

1003
00:49:22,679 --> 00:49:26,840
like it's based off of the idea I think is

1004
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,960
just like a bunch of fans on barstools talking ball,

1005
00:49:31,679 --> 00:49:36,519
getting into the muck of it, cursing, spitting, drinking, eating

1006
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,639
and drinking and being merry. Right, would you say that

1007
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,360
that's an accurate picture that's Barstool Sports. Yep, it's a

1008
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:46,400
little bit controversial. It's a border their borderline, their habitual

1009
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,199
line steppers. Let's be honest.

1010
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:49,119
Speaker 1: Porno.

1011
00:49:49,199 --> 00:49:52,119
Speaker 3: He's a bit about habitual lines, so him being in provo, right,

1012
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,920
I think that's very very interesting. Now, there was an

1013
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,280
idea out there, there was a rumor that Barstool was

1014
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:03,280
banned BYU they would not allow barstool to be in provo,

1015
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,440
and Dave Porteno actually put that rumor to bed, which

1016
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,440
I think is great. Like maybe twenty years ago, b

1017
00:50:09,519 --> 00:50:11,679
why you would say here no evil, speak no evil,

1018
00:50:11,679 --> 00:50:13,880
see no evil, Like we can't be associated with anything

1019
00:50:14,079 --> 00:50:16,679
of any port, like we saw Connor McGregor at a

1020
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,679
BAU basketball game last year, Like we're welcoming. Like if

1021
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,159
you don't want to be weird, we were talking this

1022
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,079
off the ear. If you don't want to be viewed

1023
00:50:23,079 --> 00:50:24,960
as weird, then you got to invite more people to

1024
00:50:25,039 --> 00:50:27,239
your home. You got to invite more people to the community.

1025
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,039
You gotta have conversations, awkward conversations, show them your good fruits,

1026
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,239
and let them decide whether or not you're weird or not. Right,

1027
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:39,199
the YouTube campaign of I'm a Mormon, it just made

1028
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,920
us with weirder. The meat the Mormon's campaign just made

1029
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,840
a sli weirder. You're trying too hard. Just welcome people

1030
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,920
in you know, we had Jamal Williams on our show yesterday.

1031
00:50:47,079 --> 00:50:48,960
What a great interview that was. He's like, I didn't

1032
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,719
know what love was. I didn't know what a family

1033
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,519
was until I moved to Utah. And his mother's wonderful, right,

1034
00:50:54,559 --> 00:50:57,239
but he had no idea, Like this is him bearing

1035
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,199
his testimony about like how much he loves Utah, the

1036
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,000
state of Utah, and the families that adopted him, the

1037
00:51:02,039 --> 00:51:05,440
people that essentially adopted him embraced him. So that's how

1038
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,079
you do it, guys, this is how you do it.

1039
00:51:07,159 --> 00:51:09,199
You welcome in the Dave port knows that if the

1040
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,000
one to say, look, this is who we are, this

1041
00:51:11,159 --> 00:51:13,320
is how we live. And you know, if you want

1042
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,159
to curse or do whatever, it's like, all right whatever,

1043
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,559
like you know they'll be respectful, which he has been.

1044
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,159
But let's talk about stats. Here he gives a rating

1045
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,920
a review of the BYU Bookstore, which does great work.

1046
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:25,880
By the way, shout out to the BOU Bookstore. Let's

1047
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,000
get into it. Let's listen to Dave port Noy's review.

1048
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 10: All right bookstore review.

1049
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,599
Speaker 11: Here we go BYU Bookstore, and I know what everyone's

1050
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,559
asking me because Utah.

1051
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,679
Speaker 6: I gave a ridiculously high score.

1052
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:39,079
Speaker 10: I don't remember when I gave Utah.

1053
00:51:39,119 --> 00:51:42,679
Speaker 11: It was the first book nine to two, so me

1054
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:44,920
Cosmo BYU provo.

1055
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 10: First thoughts in the bookstore, which I'm told they got

1056
00:51:48,519 --> 00:51:51,159
dinged the point because parking was impossible. We had to

1057
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,599
illegally park there was nowhere to do it, so we're

1058
00:51:53,639 --> 00:51:55,599
walking in. It was also hard to find.

1059
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 3: It's like in the middle of the student union and

1060
00:51:58,480 --> 00:51:59,559
all that, so in.

1061
00:51:59,639 --> 00:52:03,159
Speaker 10: Start a little bit behind the eight ball. However, they

1062
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:03,880
have everything.

1063
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:05,679
Speaker 11: And not only do they have everything, they have like

1064
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:09,440
a giant TV that like scream with like stands that

1065
00:52:09,519 --> 00:52:11,159
people are watching sports highlights.

1066
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,079
Speaker 10: They had a little slide for kids. They have everything.

1067
00:52:14,119 --> 00:52:16,599
They also had little lemon which I'm wearing. They have

1068
00:52:16,639 --> 00:52:19,880
the starter jackets they taught me Bahama the hats. It's

1069
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,159
a gigantic store.

1070
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 11: They also have like homemade fudge, these cinnamon gummies.

1071
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 6: And chocolate.

1072
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 3: I definitely have never had this.

1073
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 1: Oh come on, I've never had this.

1074
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,280
Speaker 11: They're making ice cream downstairs, so there's a lot more

1075
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:35,199
going on now.

1076
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,079
Speaker 10: Utah may be like, well, they have a lot less

1077
00:52:37,199 --> 00:52:38,960
going on, so that's why they get a lot more

1078
00:52:39,039 --> 00:52:40,039
going on in the store.

1079
00:52:40,559 --> 00:52:44,559
Speaker 11: Regardless if Utah's Bookstore are nine to two, this is

1080
00:52:44,599 --> 00:52:45,960
gonna be close to ninety six.

1081
00:52:53,679 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 10: I'm just calling it as I see it. And this

1082
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,599
will be the fit for tomorrow for big new kickoffs.

1083
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,719
So there you go. There's bookstore. Cosmo even have a

1084
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:02,760
book about Cosmo.

1085
00:53:03,079 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 11: Now there is there is a rumor Cosmo does too much,

1086
00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:08,320
we'll see, but they had a great book on him.

1087
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,559
Speaker 10: So yeah, there it is. That's review nine to six bookstore. Yeah,

1088
00:53:15,079 --> 00:53:16,079
very good, very good.

1089
00:53:17,079 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 3: I think he also went over to the creamery and

1090
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:20,360
I think he gave it like a nine to four.

1091
00:53:20,599 --> 00:53:22,440
Is that what he gave with ice cream? Yes? Uh

1092
00:53:22,559 --> 00:53:26,760
so he gave the creamery on ninth uh a nine

1093
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,159
point four, given some high ratings, some high marks for

1094
00:53:30,679 --> 00:53:34,039
Provo the bookstore. And look he did poke fun at

1095
00:53:34,159 --> 00:53:36,039
us a little bit. Hey, they can't drink, they're not

1096
00:53:36,199 --> 00:53:38,280
gonna be partying, but they and they did, but they

1097
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,760
do sugar right, And look, let's be honest, let's embrace

1098
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,920
who we are. We love ourselves some sugar. Like there's

1099
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,480
no answer us about it. We got to embrace that,

1100
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,880
that weirdness, you know. And and and like my buddy

1101
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,760
makes fun of me all the time for the swigs

1102
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,400
and the cookies and all of that. He's like, you

1103
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:01,079
guys are addicted to to sugar. What's worse been me

1104
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,039
and my alcohol? Are you and your stugar? I'm like,

1105
00:54:03,119 --> 00:54:06,400
damn you, damn you, Steven. That's what I said him.

1106
00:54:06,559 --> 00:54:09,559
That's what argument. And I gave him. I act like

1107
00:54:09,599 --> 00:54:12,360
I was gonna backhand him. Don't you speak speak truth

1108
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,960
to me? But we we ended up, you know, you know,

1109
00:54:16,119 --> 00:54:19,920
figuring it out and impeaceably resolving our issues. But he

1110
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,280
brings up a very good point, and this is our

1111
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,320
vice and we do it extremely well and we should

1112
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,280
rejoice in it. Guys. Any thoughts on the reviews from

1113
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:32,000
Dave Portno, What I would love to know is.

1114
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 5: Because, like I've been to this the bookstore a number

1115
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:38,239
of times, there's some elderly people, some elderly BYU.

1116
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 6: Found shout out to them.

1117
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 5: I'm curious if they were like, why is there a

1118
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,599
mob of people just following this fifty something old guy

1119
00:54:45,679 --> 00:54:48,280
and why is he wearing this dumb Cosmo hat and

1120
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,800
sitting next to Cosmo? Like I'm sure those people had

1121
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,239
no clue what was going on whatsoever, which I find hilarious.

1122
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 6: He was saying that he goes so he goes.

1123
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,039
Speaker 5: To every bookstore when they do big nan but he

1124
00:54:58,119 --> 00:55:00,480
was saying sometimes he'll spin up to a thousand dollars

1125
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,320
in the bookstore and then never wear that stuff again.

1126
00:55:03,519 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 6: Just wear it's a big new kickoff, and then never again.

1127
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 5: So shout out to Dave Portnoy for given the BYU

1128
00:55:09,599 --> 00:55:13,480
Bookstore the true experience and finding out just how well

1129
00:55:13,519 --> 00:55:16,400
it rates on a national level compared to other schools, especially.

1130
00:55:16,119 --> 00:55:17,519
Speaker 3: University of You time. Yeah, I mean some of the

1131
00:55:17,559 --> 00:55:20,039
other comments he's made, like the he rated the hotel

1132
00:55:20,119 --> 00:55:22,159
he's at that's like right across the street from Lavelle

1133
00:55:22,199 --> 00:55:24,480
and you can see the wassat front backdrop and the

1134
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,880
y and he's like, hotel is not good, it's average. Whatever.

1135
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,519
But that view that I have that is not a painting,

1136
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,639
that is not a digital image, that is not anything

1137
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:36,679
that is a real pig and it does. It just

1138
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,119
looks amazing, And we take it for granted here in Utah.

1139
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,519
We take it for granted around this time in October

1140
00:55:43,159 --> 00:55:45,880
and when when the leaves are changing and we have

1141
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,960
clear skys, snowcapped mountains, it's a sunny day, clear skies,

1142
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,360
and we just kind of take it for granted, and

1143
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:57,239
like everyone's just in awe of our Wassatch front. So

1144
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,320
attitude of gratitude. He gives a whole lot of love

1145
00:56:00,679 --> 00:56:04,239
to our great state and the great city of Provo.

1146
00:56:04,599 --> 00:56:07,119
