QB Quarterback Sciences formed by you great.

32
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:29,519
Speaker 1: We got John Beck on the line. John, how is

33
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,280
your weekend, buddy?

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 4: It was a good weekend, Ben, a lot of all

35
00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:39,959
good big win at the high school. But Popwasher games

36
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,400
didn't go quite as good.

37
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 5: But you know what, you learn a lot of lessons

38
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,280
from the tough ones as well. So the back boys

39
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,560
are growing and learning through all the experiences they're going through.

40
00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: How much cross pollination is there in your in your

41
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,280
playbook and your game planning from high school to the

42
00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:58,640
Pop Warner level? I mean, are you are you strategically

43
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:06,239
creating personnel groupings and schematics for your your Pop Warner

44
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,560
team that also extend to the San Clementy team as well.

45
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:16,599
Speaker 4: No, not necessarily, Like Dennis Pitt and I, actually we

46
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,719
both coach on Pop Warner teams that actually practice on

47
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:21,520
the same field. So he and I go from the

48
00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:26,159
varsity practices and we walk right over to the fields

49
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:27,520
where our kids do the Pop Warner.

50
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 5: We always talk about like, you know, you have.

51
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 4: To build a game plan that is going to give

52
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,639
your team an opportunity to move the football.

53
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:36,439
Speaker 5: But we also one of.

54
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:38,479
Speaker 4: The reasons why we're doing it is because we want

55
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,639
to help our kids have a really good football foundation.

56
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,360
And so when you can build a base level of

57
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:50,039
understanding of foundational plays, a lot of offensive football builds

58
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,159
off of that foundation, off of those understandings. And so

59
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,120
if you can create that at a young level individually

60
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,159
for you know, our own kids, but then all so

61
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,400
as a team that then if that group can stay together,

62
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:05,719
it just builds on top of each other.

63
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 5: So we don't necessarily run like, oh, hey, we're going.

64
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,039
Speaker 4: To do exact things that the high school is doing,

65
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,080
But we always talk.

66
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 5: About we are structuring kind of the foundation of our

67
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,120
playbook in a way that when our.

68
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: Kids do get to that high school level. They should

69
00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:23,520
feel advanced. They should feel that they have a great

70
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,520
understanding week to week, anything that comes up in a

71
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,800
game plan, any little tweak that.

72
00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 5: You want to do, they understand the where and the why.

73
00:03:32,039 --> 00:03:33,319
And so I've always kind.

74
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 4: Of prided myself on pushing the kids when they're young.

75
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,879
And maybe some people that have been on my teams

76
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,560
might say, man, it seems that John you know, really

77
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:45,680
kind of does a lot offensively for young kids. But yeah,

78
00:03:45,719 --> 00:03:49,319
I do, because I believe that football is like a language,

79
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,360
and if you can get a young kid to learn

80
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,319
how to speak a secondary language by just speaking it

81
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:56,280
all the time in your home and really pushing them,

82
00:03:56,719 --> 00:03:58,840
that can happen in football as well. And then when

83
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:01,520
they get to those upper now you can get more

84
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,400
out of them.

85
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,919
Speaker 3: John Beck, Ladies and gentlemen, talk to some football. How

86
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:08,759
did the Beck fam compete this weekend? What was the

87
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:09,639
win loss record?

88
00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 6: You know what?

89
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: It was one and two. Probably the highlight was the

90
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,800
varsity team. My son got to start for the varsity

91
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,560
team in a big game and we had to play

92
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,600
an undefeated Los al Amidos team, and it was it

93
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,519
was a huge win for our team, huge win for

94
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,199
the program for the seniors as well on Senior Night,

95
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,120
and it guaranteed us a playoff spot, and so it

96
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,319
was a big one. That was kind of the highlight

97
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,879
of the three games. Family came into town to watch,

98
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,879
so it was a lot of fun.

99
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: Love that.

100
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 3: Man, Well, everyone thinks that a former b YU rate

101
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,600
NFL that you know, second round draft pick, et cetera,

102
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,759
they win every single game that they coach in and

103
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,439
that that's not that's not accurate.

104
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: That's what I thought.

105
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, this is completely not accurate.

106
00:04:56,879 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 4: I think one of the toughest things is, here's one

107
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,079
of the toughest things.

108
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 5: When you coach the very youngest kids.

109
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 4: You can see everything that will work, but it's it's like,

110
00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:11,639
it doesn't matter what you.

111
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,519
Speaker 5: Know football wise.

112
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter what you could scheme up or any

113
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,240
of that like that goes out the door. It matters

114
00:05:18,439 --> 00:05:22,240
what those kids can do, what they understand. You know,

115
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,959
you'd to have Dennis Pitta on the show and see

116
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:26,759
what he's going through his team. I mean, I think

117
00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:28,879
they've only won one or two games, and it's just

118
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,639
you can know all the football that you want, but

119
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,480
it's about who you have on your team, their capabilities

120
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:37,319
and what they understand, and quite honestly, you could have

121
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,319
a coach that doesn't know that much football, but if

122
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,879
he's got guys that can outplay your guys, he can

123
00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:44,920
keep it very simple and win the football game.

124
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:46,519
Speaker 5: And so where I feel like my.

125
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 4: Experience comes into play is when we face teams that

126
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,279
are evenly matched or we're slightly below where can I,

127
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,240
through coaching the kids throughout the week and throughout the season,

128
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:01,560
give us a little bit of a schematic advantage where

129
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,839
now we can play a little bit above our actual

130
00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:07,720
level and compete with some of the teams that maybe

131
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,439
if it was just straight up we wouldn't get a

132
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,560
chance to compete with. And then I really try to

133
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,360
do a good job of just overall throughout the year,

134
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,240
building the kids understanding of what sports is really like

135
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,720
and how it relates to life like ups and downs, challenges.

136
00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:24,879
Sometimes you're having a great run, sometimes you gets your

137
00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:29,279
freaking butt kick, sometimes things work out for you, and

138
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:31,800
other times you can't seem to get anything to work,

139
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,160
and just building their resilience, building their belief, building also

140
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,120
a better relationship with losing and not having them compare

141
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:40,800
of like.

142
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:42,639
Speaker 5: Well this team lost to this team, and we should

143
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:44,279
beat that team. And if we lose to this team,

144
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,399
then that means we're not as good as this team.

145
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,759
Like all of that, I'm trying to teach these kids.

146
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 4: Just toss it out the window. Be the very best

147
00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:53,879
version of you you can be right now in this moment,

148
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,759
and then learn from it and then improve going forward.

149
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,879
And I try to really just hone in on those

150
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,360
things so that when the kids older and they face

151
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,160
whatever challenges they're going to go through, whatever high schools

152
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,639
they're going through, they're better prepared for him.

153
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,439
Speaker 1: It brings up an interesting point.

154
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,639
Speaker 3: Honestly, it segues into the topic that that is most

155
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,800
intriguing to me right now.

156
00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:15,279
Speaker 1: The national pun is many.

157
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,959
Speaker 3: That even that that that maybe contrived some of their

158
00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:24,399
their conclusions off of objective metrics. They think BYU is

159
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:29,639
not winning UH due to merit. They're winning doing due

160
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,600
to luck. They're finding a way to win in different ways,

161
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:40,240
be it special teams, creating turnovers, et cetera. And and

162
00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:43,000
I wanted to get your your perspective on how BYU

163
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,279
is winning UH since arriving the Big twelve. I remember

164
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:49,399
in twenty twenty three, we did discuss, hey, are are

165
00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:51,399
these wins? It was like BA was like five and

166
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,680
two at the time, and they were on the brink

167
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,360
of getting Bowl eligible. It is like, are these are

168
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,160
these these ways in which BO is winning? Are they sustainable?

169
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,680
And they had a not being sustainable and then bahead

170
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,639
an eleven two season completely overachieving, maybe versus their talent,

171
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,879
maybe versus the hype, and they found ways to win.

172
00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:10,839
Once again, they're finding ways to win. And you have

173
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:14,079
to wonder, Okay, is this just who BYU is is

174
00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:17,519
or is there some lack of associated with it that

175
00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:21,519
not all the analysts right now are giving b what

176
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,120
you credit for.

177
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: Give me your perspective on this.

178
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:27,959
Speaker 4: Well, I think when you talk to football people like

179
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,039
toss the analysts out right, Like, first off, analysts love

180
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,000
to create, right, whatever can cause a story. Are are

181
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:38,840
they really watching every snap of BYU football?

182
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,399
Speaker 5: I doubt it.

183
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: Yeah right, They probably are watching kid bits here and there.

184
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,000
They're probably calling somebody, Hey, are you watching that football

185
00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:47,000
team over there in Provo?

186
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 5: What do you think about them?

187
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,639
Speaker 4: Give me your Most people aren't analyzing everything. They're trying

188
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,039
to gather information quickly so that they can say something

189
00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:55,919
that grabs attention.

190
00:08:56,039 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 5: That's the truth of it. If you talk to football people,

191
00:08:58,759 --> 00:08:59,399
Let's go back.

192
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 4: To that twenty twenty three year, because I remember having conversations,

193
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,159
you know, with Keeton Slovas to get Cleyton, Keeton Slovis

194
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,159
to BYU and what what it was believed that BYU

195
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,200
was going to be able to do that year twenty

196
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,480
twenty three, things happened that nobody could have anticipated with

197
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,399
the run game, the past protection. They're like, there were

198
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,720
so many things and there were some changes made, right,

199
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,559
There were some changes made to the staff. Those changes

200
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,000
were believed to have a great impact, which they did.

201
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,159
You go to BYU last season where people would say, hey, well,

202
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,759
ye had this Voa football team overachieved? If you talk

203
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,519
to the football people, they had seen the foundation that

204
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:39,320
was being laid, and twenty twenty three was like this,

205
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:42,159
you know, unique anomaly. If we didn't expect that, this

206
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,039
is what was out of our control, but we're going

207
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,279
to get better because of it. And so those little

208
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,519
tweaks kind of catapulted BYU to.

209
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 5: A due place.

210
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,919
Speaker 4: If you got around the football people going into the

211
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:56,039
twenty twenty four year, could they have predicted that hard

212
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,960
of a start, No, but they all would have said,

213
00:09:59,039 --> 00:10:00,919
we know we are very good football team.

214
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 5: We know we're going to be able to do a

215
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,039
lot of things. And even in.

216
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,159
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty four, they were already saying, twenty twenty five

217
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,039
has the chance to be a really special team, probably

218
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,360
the best team that we've had in the last decade plus.

219
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,919
That's what the football people were saying. And so I

220
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,039
think what you're seeing is you're seeing a lot of

221
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:23,159
years of hard work of building something. It's what you

222
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,200
Why do they say build a program, because you do

223
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,360
build towards something. You build a foundation, you grow upon

224
00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:31,960
that foundation. Then you bring in all of these parts,

225
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,080
and in today's era, adding coaches with the experience that

226
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,240
they brought in absolutely helps. Getting to bring in a

227
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:42,519
tight end coach that has the NFL experience that he has,

228
00:10:42,799 --> 00:10:43,919
you can see an impact.

229
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 5: The old line in a way that the O line.

230
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,159
Speaker 4: Is playing, you can see an impact. So you see

231
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,679
all these pieces come together. The football people have understood

232
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,879
it for a long time. The non football people, they're

233
00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:57,000
the ones that are going to have to find reasons

234
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,840
for why doyus winning. They don't want to just say, oh,

235
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:03,120
this is a really good football team. You win football

236
00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:05,799
games a lot of different ways. You're never going to

237
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,679
be able to go out and dominate in thirty two

238
00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:11,360
quarters on one side of the ball for all thirty

239
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,360
two quarters. It is impossible. You just don't do it.

240
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,799
Between field position, the luck of calling good plays. Sometimes

241
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:21,840
plays look amazing. Sometimes you can make a good play

242
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:22,720
call based off.

243
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 5: Of the off the study you've done throughout.

244
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: The week, and it looks like absolute crap on game

245
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,360
day and you're like, that was not how we saw

246
00:11:29,399 --> 00:11:33,080
that playing out. I think that it's a testament to

247
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,120
Killanne his staff, the players buying in the belief that

248
00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:41,360
they've cultivated throughout the year so that when they face

249
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,080
tough times they are becoming a good football team by

250
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:48,399
a phase, stands up and wins the game. Like you

251
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,679
look at this last game, was BAU playing bad football

252
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,200
in the beginning though they weren't playing bad football, but

253
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,679
Iowa State was making some big plays and they got

254
00:11:56,759 --> 00:11:57,320
him down and.

255
00:11:57,279 --> 00:11:59,279
Speaker 5: BYU was having a little bit of tough time offensively,

256
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,919
but it wasn't bad football.

257
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, boom, a turnover happens

258
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,679
deep in Dius that backed up and it completely changed

259
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,960
the game. And then what happens. The offense gets an

260
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,639
opportunity to go down on a two minute drive, they score,

261
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,799
and they get the ball right back and then they

262
00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:14,480
drive again.

263
00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 5: That's the mark of a good football team.

264
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,399
Speaker 4: You don't have to knock a team and say, well,

265
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:20,240
if they were that good, they never should have been down.

266
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,759
I truly believe the best football teams when things aren't

267
00:12:23,799 --> 00:12:26,399
going their way, they find a way to come back

268
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:29,039
when they're down. And that's maybe what the outside of

269
00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:31,840
football people don't understand that that is the mark of

270
00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:34,200
a good team, not a lucky team.

271
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 3: How much of this also has to do with the

272
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:43,080
anomaly of special teams creating turnovers and also scoring touchdowns.

273
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: This year it's creating turnovers.

274
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 3: They haven't really scored touchdowns, but they've also flipped fields

275
00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:51,159
and they've been able to you know, I think the

276
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,399
return game has been strong, and also their punt cover

277
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,879
and kickoff cover has done a great job of limiting

278
00:12:56,919 --> 00:12:59,519
big plays. But more so than anything, they're creating turnovers

279
00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:01,879
on special and we saw that in twenty twenty three,

280
00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:03,519
we've seen it in twenty twenty four, and we're seeing

281
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:04,799
in twenty twenty five.

282
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 4: Dude, it is huge when you can have special teams

283
00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:13,639
contribute in that way, it is gigantic.

284
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 5: I think when you go back to some of the

285
00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:18,360
metrics of last season and.

286
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:22,919
Speaker 4: The punt return and kick return yards, I mean, that

287
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,440
was a huge thing in field position for for BYU

288
00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:28,759
and in some really critical games. And you look at

289
00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:31,360
this last game the special teams play where a very

290
00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:33,519
heads up play to push his guy into the ball.

291
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 5: I mean, and it came at a critical moment.

292
00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: Like all of those things are so big again, and

293
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:40,039
I know you and I have said this for years,

294
00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:43,720
whenever you try to string together an undefeated regular season,

295
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:46,759
you have to have some things.

296
00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 5: Happen in critical moments that go your way.

297
00:13:50,759 --> 00:13:53,919
Speaker 4: Like again, it is just impossible to dominate every quarter.

298
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,279
And there's going to be critical parts in a game where.

299
00:13:57,519 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 5: You need a ball with that at the opponent kicks

300
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:01,360
hit the upright.

301
00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 4: You need a punt to bounce off somebody and you

302
00:14:04,159 --> 00:14:04,720
recover it.

303
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,279
Speaker 5: You need a tipped.

304
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,399
Speaker 4: Ball off of a defender's hands to landing your guys's

305
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:12,519
hands for a completion like I've just seen it. I've

306
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:15,600
seen really good football teams where hey, they have one

307
00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:18,759
or two losses in the regular season because a few

308
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:21,279
of those things didn't go their way. And whenever you

309
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,600
go and you point towards the undefeated teams a lot,

310
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,639
And I'm not talking about the like the Ohio States

311
00:14:27,679 --> 00:14:30,080
that are sitting at the top the entire season and

312
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,000
they just go out and they run through everybody into

313
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:32,919
the playoffs.

314
00:14:32,519 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 5: And I'm not talking about them.

315
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,559
Speaker 4: I'm talking about the teams right below them that are

316
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,159
sitting at like six to twelve rankings and they're stringing

317
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,679
together undefeated seasons.

318
00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:43,159
Speaker 6: They have to have.

319
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 4: Those plays in moments of games that turn things and

320
00:14:47,799 --> 00:14:49,480
it's just not all dominant.

321
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,639
Speaker 5: And that's what I see. That's quite honestly what I

322
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:52,600
see BYU doing.

323
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 4: Like, yes, I know they've had to come back in

324
00:14:55,399 --> 00:14:58,399
a number of these games and win, But isn't that

325
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,600
what people say they want to know if their team

326
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,720
can do. How does a team play when they're down.

327
00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:06,240
When you're recruiting kids, I tell you.

328
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,759
Speaker 5: What, you don't want to just have a bunch of

329
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,519
kids that have dominated everybody all through high school and

330
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:12,679
have never been down in games to be the makeup

331
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,759
of your football team. That team will fall apart in

332
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:17,000
critical moments you.

333
00:15:17,039 --> 00:15:19,879
Speaker 4: Got to find some kids that have been in tough situations.

334
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,240
They know how to pull together and make plays in

335
00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:24,320
critical moments when they are down.

336
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:26,159
Speaker 5: And so that's where when I look at this BAU

337
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:28,360
football team. Is it a guarantee that they're going to

338
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:28,960
be undefeated.

339
00:15:29,159 --> 00:15:32,159
Speaker 4: No, but they should definitely have a resolve and a

340
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,039
confidence and a faith right now that when they're down,

341
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,279
they can find a way to.

342
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 5: Come back and win.

343
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 4: And you know, we don't know the situations of these

344
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,120
next few games. We don't know about LJ, we don't

345
00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:43,720
know about certain guys in the team if we're going

346
00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:47,039
to be fully healthy. But Texas Tech, even though they've

347
00:15:47,039 --> 00:15:49,320
lost their quarterback, it's going to be a dog fight.

348
00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:52,120
You can go down to other games and say it's

349
00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:53,879
going to be a dogfight, going to be a dogfight,

350
00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:55,960
going to be a dogfight all the way to the finish.

351
00:15:56,159 --> 00:15:58,480
Are we going to be winning every single quarter? Is

352
00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:00,320
BYU going to be up in every moment?

353
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,639
Speaker 5: Absolutely not. So we better hope we have.

354
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 4: A makeup of kids that know how to come back

355
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,799
from behind, and right now, that's what they showed and

356
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,360
I think that everybody should be proud of that.

357
00:16:09,559 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 5: And yes, the outside.

358
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:12,559
Speaker 4: World is going to point too, well, maybe they're not

359
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,519
as good as they think as people think.

360
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:15,279
Speaker 5: They are, so be it.

361
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: Let them think that and then DYU just focuses on

362
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:19,600
doing what they're doing.

363
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,759
Speaker 1: I've said this time and time again.

364
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: I was handing out my game balls for this game

365
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,399
versus Iowa State, and my first game ball actually went

366
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:32,480
to Aaron Roderick for his play calling, for his ability

367
00:16:32,559 --> 00:16:36,799
to scheme wide receivers open. People don't really realize that

368
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,320
they want to give all the credit to the quarterback.

369
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,399
I'm like, guys, these are schematic, like, these are linear

370
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:45,960
schematic executions, and he's allowing bear Bachmeyer to make an

371
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,840
easy throw sometimes many times in this game, to go

372
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,919
over three hundred yards because he didn't have a running

373
00:16:51,919 --> 00:16:53,600
back in this game LJ went out in the first

374
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:56,159
quarter or you know, at the end of it, I believe,

375
00:16:56,639 --> 00:16:59,840
and I just I felt like a Rod deserved this

376
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,639
game ball. Wanted to get your perspective on this because

377
00:17:02,679 --> 00:17:06,519
there hasn't been a coordinator in BYU football history, minus

378
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:08,839
Doug Scolville, who was only with us for like four

379
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,839
years in the seventies that has been applauded as being

380
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,279
a good play caller. And I'm like, guys, like, we've

381
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,200
had some great play callers per dollar spent in our

382
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,279
illustrious history, and no one's been perfect. But a rod

383
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:27,440
deserves a bit of his flowers right now. In my opinion,

384
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:30,279
all things considered, one of the toughest schedules in boa

385
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,480
football history with a true freshman quarterback. He lost his

386
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:36,599
regro freshman redshirt senior excuse me, and then he just

387
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,519
lost his running back in this game versus Iowa State.

388
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: I think he'd needs some love.

389
00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:43,039
Speaker 6: Yeah.

390
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 5: You know what, here's the thing that I really enjoy

391
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,839
watching Aaron Rodgercks schemes is he does such a good

392
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,319
job of creating levels.

393
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,839
Speaker 4: Of throws that they mirror a concept that is a

394
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,160
staple concept. And then what he does is he create

395
00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:05,480
through formations, through motions, different ways to get to the

396
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:09,960
same foundational type scheme. You know, it's kind of like

397
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,240
what I said earlier in the show talking about building

398
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,000
a foundation, Like there are areas of the field that

399
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:17,799
he does a great job of attacking a variety of ways,

400
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,279
but when you look at where people get to on

401
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,640
the field, it makes the read simple for the quarterback

402
00:18:23,759 --> 00:18:26,680
because he has something to say, well, that is a

403
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,599
lot like this play. They're getting to the same spots

404
00:18:29,599 --> 00:18:32,359
on the field. I can read it the exact same way.

405
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,720
We're just getting there a little differently. The o other

406
00:18:34,759 --> 00:18:36,640
thing that he does well is he creates really good

407
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:37,640
stuff off run game.

408
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 5: You look at some of the actions that they have.

409
00:18:40,599 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 4: They have such a large variety of play actions that

410
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,400
they use off of their counter game, and he does

411
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,440
a really good job of also off of run game.

412
00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:51,599
I'm gonna have quick hitters that I'm gonna utilize space

413
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,119
and numbers. And if we have space and numbers, the

414
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,279
quarterback is going to not choose the run. He's just

415
00:18:56,319 --> 00:18:57,720
going to throw the ball out on the edge.

416
00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 5: And then he's gonna have these these mid level throws

417
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,440
where people are based off of the way that a

418
00:19:02,519 --> 00:19:05,440
defense reacts to the run. I can now get people

419
00:19:05,599 --> 00:19:08,359
right behind in those windows, and so you see Bart

420
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,720
come off of a quick action and he's going to

421
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,920
drive a ball right behind those windows. And then you

422
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,119
see those even deeper shots off of actions that are

423
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,480
hitting those throws.

424
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 4: You know, sixteen to twenty two yards down the field.

425
00:19:20,039 --> 00:19:22,160
That's where he does a really good job in his

426
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,000
game plans and those things. And you know, I'm always

427
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,880
reminded of a conversation I was having one.

428
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,599
Speaker 5: Time with Carson Palman.

429
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 4: We were talking about play callers in the NFL, the

430
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:32,000
job that it is to be a play caller in

431
00:19:32,039 --> 00:19:34,359
the NFL, and the word that he.

432
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,279
Speaker 5: Used was offensive coordinator is such a thankless job.

433
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 4: And it's so true because when your team scores points

434
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,920
and does well, most of the time people just say, well, yeah,

435
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,880
that's what he's supposed to do. He's the offensive coordinator.

436
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,039
He's supposed to go out there and put points on

437
00:19:50,079 --> 00:19:52,680
the board, and they don't realize how much goes into

438
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,759
getting those points on the board. Especially with some of

439
00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:58,599
the defensive schemes that people run. It is not always

440
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,759
easy because you a lot of the times are calling

441
00:20:01,799 --> 00:20:04,519
what you are anticipating. But when things don't go good,

442
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,319
it is so easy to just point the finger terrible

443
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,039
play calls.

444
00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 5: This guy sucks.

445
00:20:10,319 --> 00:20:12,319
Speaker 4: And that's why it's so important to have a quarterback

446
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,279
that can also see and understand what is trying to

447
00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:17,799
be accomplished with the play call and get you in

448
00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:19,359
and out of the right things. And when it is

449
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,200
bad or when it's not what you thought, you know what,

450
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,039
Sometimes taking a sack is not a bad thing. Sometimes

451
00:20:25,079 --> 00:20:26,920
throwing a ball away is not a bad thing. Taking

452
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,119
the checkdown can be a great thing. And although it

453
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,680
doesn't look pretty, a coordinator that has somebody that can

454
00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:37,039
manage the decisions really really well, it helps the coordinator

455
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:37,960
so much.

456
00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 5: Because when you get in situations where.

457
00:20:39,759 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 4: You can't trust a quarterback to do that, you have

458
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,599
to be careful with your play calls. You have to

459
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,799
be careful that you're not talking him into throws by

460
00:20:47,839 --> 00:20:48,359
your play call.

461
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 5: And that's why we've seen it this year like this

462
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:51,400
is a.

463
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,839
Speaker 4: Very put together football team, very put together, with a

464
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,440
great understanding of the offense that these guys have been

465
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,000
in one offense the entire time.

466
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 5: And you insert this young but very smart.

467
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,039
Speaker 4: And good decision maker that can always bail us out

468
00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:09,279
with his legs, and you put that together.

469
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 5: And things are working really, really well.

470
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 4: But Aaron Rodgers has done a good job of taking

471
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,839
that foundation that he built with the players, recognizing what

472
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,960
they can do, bring in a young quarterback and managing

473
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:21,319
that and.

474
00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 5: Balancing it out so well. And that's the art of

475
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,599
being a coordinator. It's not always gonna just look great.

476
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,839
Every single quarter. But he has done such a good

477
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:30,559
job of in.

478
00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:45,039
Speaker 6: The things that he does, of how creative it is.

479
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 4: Because you don't get to back you like, you don't

480
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,079
get to go back and watch the full eleven on

481
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:49,799
eleven view.

482
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 5: You don't get to see how.

483
00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 4: Something from week three or week four is utilized, and

484
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,960
how he knows what a defense is going to do,

485
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,799
and how he's capitalizing off of back week seven to eight.

486
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 5: But he's done a good job of that.

did you make of Bear Bachmeyer's performance?

504
00:22:57,039 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 5: I thought Bear had a super solid day.

505
00:22:58,759 --> 00:23:02,079
Speaker 4: You know, playing those three three five defenses, it's not

506
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,440
easy because they based off of their rules, they're going

507
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:11,519
to get into looks that don't necessarily have defined coverage

508
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,119
where you would say, oh that's cover two, Oh, that's

509
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,160
cover four, Oh that's cover six. Like a lot of

510
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,079
the times you're going back there, you're going through your

511
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,680
reads and there is no defined coverage. They play very

512
00:23:24,759 --> 00:23:29,240
unique responsibilities sometimes three three five defenses based off of

513
00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:30,359
motions and different things.

514
00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 5: They can take themselves out of position. And so you.

515
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 4: Actually saw some of BYU's big plays were some busts

516
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,480
by Iowa State and a really good job of Bear

517
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,920
of recognizing them. That's either thing that's not easy to

518
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,440
do as a young player. It's not easy to recognize,

519
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,160
you know when they bust and all of a sudden,

520
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,440
your clear out go route that is literally there for

521
00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:55,400
what you call love of the game. He's just running

522
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,640
defenders off all of a sudden, that guy's who's popping open,

523
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,720
and Bear find Chase.

524
00:24:00,519 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 5: On the run, and Chase is really the clear out there.

525
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 4: So Bear does a really good job of staying within

526
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,440
the offense, even some of his sacks.

527
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,079
Speaker 5: Like, I know, it sounds funny to compliment a.

528
00:24:13,039 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 4: Sack, but Bear took a couple of really good sacks

529
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,880
because there was nowhere to go with the football.

530
00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:21,519
Speaker 1: And slid one time.

531
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 5: Great, yeah he did, Yeah, yeah he did.

532
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,519
Speaker 4: You know, young quarterbacks learned that when you start getting

533
00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:28,240
knocked around, you.

534
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 5: Learn how to sigh real fast. But he did a really.

535
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 4: Good job of just, you know what, even though we're

536
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,920
down right here, even though it feels like we're having

537
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,640
a little bit of a tough time getting things going,

538
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,319
it's not worth it right here to chance it.

539
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,079
Speaker 5: And the thing that's cool, too, is with Bear is

540
00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:51,680
like the demeanor of staying the same guy despite the situation.

541
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:54,559
I think that that, you know, I'm going to go back.

542
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 4: To what I watched this kid do for three years

543
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,559
in high school, whether it was our games, sing him

544
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:04,839
on tape like he was involved in so many shootouts

545
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,279
forty seven to forty nine, fifty two to fifty seven,

546
00:25:09,799 --> 00:25:11,279
thirty eight to forty one.

547
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 5: I think Bear literally has.

548
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,559
Speaker 4: Just been programmed to just be the same guy no

549
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,079
matter what is going on, because that is just the

550
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,720
game that he's had to play for so long. And

551
00:25:24,759 --> 00:25:27,240
so when I look at this game, like, yes, Iowa State,

552
00:25:27,319 --> 00:25:28,079
it felt like.

553
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 5: They had a ton of momentum.

554
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,599
Speaker 4: I mean I was driving from one Pop Warner game

555
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,359
to the next Pop Warner game with my phone on

556
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,799
my car watching and Iowa States driving and I'm like,

557
00:25:36,839 --> 00:25:39,839
oh my gosh, like this is the first half, and

558
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,160
they if they put points on the board, especially a

559
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,559
touchdown right here, this is going to be a huge

560
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,680
gap that, like, you know, I don't think anybody expected that.

561
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,839
And then boom the interception happens, and then all of

562
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,039
a sudden, you feel this momentum shift. And then, like

563
00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:55,599
I said earlier, they score before half, they get the

564
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,880
ball coming out of half, they get the ball getting

565
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,400
after the over on the punt, like things start happening,

566
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,640
and the same old Bear just keeps chipping away, right,

567
00:26:06,759 --> 00:26:08,880
and he runs around. He finds guys open, you have

568
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,279
the other thing he did a really good job of

569
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,039
he recognized when the other team was in drop eight

570
00:26:13,559 --> 00:26:15,599
and he could feel, oh.

571
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 5: They're only bringing three right here.

572
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 4: That's a skill that, like you have to develop over time.

573
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,640
Most of time a young quarterback, you know, he'll he'll

574
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,039
force certain balls and then you'll watch tape and go,

575
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,240
oh man, they're.

576
00:26:28,079 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 5: In drop eight right there.

577
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 4: Like I really didn't need to try to throw that

578
00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:33,200
on time in such a tight window.

579
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 5: I can move a little bit.

580
00:26:35,079 --> 00:26:39,319
Speaker 4: Like you found him, find Parker Kingston on the backside.

581
00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:41,960
It was a little three by one front side, you

582
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,480
have an option route with a little rap incut and

583
00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:47,359
into the field backside concept you have a corner with

584
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:52,000
two double unders. Well, the coverage, yeah, the coverage would

585
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,279
not tell you to go backside.

586
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:55,519
Speaker 5: So he starts front side to the two receiver side.

587
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,039
Speaker 4: But he recognized that they were in a drop eight

588
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,039
and you see him just softly kind of move and

589
00:27:01,079 --> 00:27:04,000
stay behind the line, and he brings his eyes all

590
00:27:04,039 --> 00:27:06,920
the way back to the left sideline and finds Parker

591
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,160
Kingston sitting by himself.

592
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,319
Speaker 5: You know, like that type of comfort. You know, there's

593
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,960
like there's no panic, there's no worry. He just he

594
00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:18,559
feels it out again. I just go back to where

595
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:21,559
he has loads of experience, Like teams would do that

596
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:24,119
all the time. Uh to his high school team, they

597
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,119
would drop eight and they.

598
00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 4: Would say, well, we don't want to bring pressure because

599
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,200
I like, if we bring pressure and he sees the

600
00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:32,400
pressure well and understands where to go with the football,

601
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,400
he can gash us. The other thing is if we

602
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,680
bring pressure and he takes off with his legs, he's

603
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:37,359
gonna gash us.

604
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 5: All right, so let's go ahead, let's drop eight.

605
00:27:39,319 --> 00:27:41,839
Speaker 4: Well, if you have a patient quarterback that recognizes that

606
00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:45,160
they can sit back and as they move their eyes

607
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,319
they know defenders move.

608
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 5: You know, he's just he's playing in it like in

609
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:50,720
a way where.

610
00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 4: Because of his presence and because of his comfort level,

611
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,400
even if things don't go well for a little.

612
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 5: Bit, he just keeps chipping away, keeps chipping away.

613
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 6: And he made it comment.

614
00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 4: I watched one of the interviews afterwards where he said

615
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,160
he's one of eleven that is one of the best

616
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,519
mindsets that you can.

617
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 5: Have as a quarterback. And that's why playing on.

618
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:15,279
Speaker 4: Good football teams always helps quarterbacks. You know, the mind

619
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,920
can at times in highly competitive people take you to

620
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,160
a place where you feel like you have to do

621
00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:25,599
more for your team because you so badly want to succeed,

622
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,759
you so badly want to win, you so badly want

623
00:28:27,759 --> 00:28:31,200
to play well, and so you start to feel not

624
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,039
one of eleven. You start to feel like everything falls

625
00:28:35,079 --> 00:28:37,079
on your shoulders and you got to make it happen.

626
00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:40,599
And playing within the offense doesn't always work for you,

627
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:41,480
and so you try.

628
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 5: To do more.

629
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 4: And that's why sometimes you see on teams tough football

630
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,279
teams that are struggling to run the football, struggling to

631
00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:49,079
get first downs.

632
00:28:50,079 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 5: Sometimes the quarterbacks go through some struggles. And that's why

633
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,119
I meant that to be able to give a young

634
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,000
quarterback that.

635
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,359
Speaker 4: Feeling, which BYU has done because of going back to

636
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,920
the foundation that the team has built, the staff, the players.

637
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:04,599
Speaker 5: What he got to get inserted into.

638
00:29:04,839 --> 00:29:07,119
Speaker 4: That is the best feeling you can give a young

639
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,240
quarterback is you are one of eleven. Just do what

640
00:29:11,319 --> 00:29:13,240
you need to do, don't try to do too much,

641
00:29:13,279 --> 00:29:16,599
and just distribute the ball. This team around you can

642
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,400
help you, and by that feeling, then you get to

643
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,400
watch the really cool things happen where then that player

644
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,240
is doing so much to help the team, and he's

645
00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:28,400
made so many critical plays in good plays for this

646
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,720
football team because of that awesome balance that he gets

647
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,599
to live in and that space he gets to live in.

648
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,799
And that's where you just have to tip your hat

649
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,920
to the program as a whole, because the program has

650
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,880
built this theme that is now moving forward and also.

651
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,519
Speaker 5: The experience of a young player.

652
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 4: He's coming in very experienced and that experience has helped

653
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,839
so much and you're getting to watch this really cool

654
00:29:52,839 --> 00:29:56,119
thing happen. A thing pupped up on my Instagram the

655
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,359
other day of like, there's been four quarterbacks that have

656
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,720
started off. Three quarterbacks that started off I think it

657
00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:03,720
was like seven and zero, and right now there's there's

658
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:10,000
been only three and it's Jalen Hurts, it's Trevor Lawrence, and.

659
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,519
Speaker 5: It's bear Backmeyer. Well, look at the schools you're talking.

660
00:30:13,599 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 4: Alabama in their heyday, Clemson in their heyday, and BYU,

661
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,559
just BYU.

662
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 5: Is in such an awesome place right now. It's so

663
00:30:21,759 --> 00:30:22,559
cool to see.

664
00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: Love that perspective. John. Last thing before we let you go,

665
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:27,400
train three.

666
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 3: DQB offers a plethora of services to quarterbacks around the

667
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:36,519
country and it's not just you know, training in person.

668
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,039
You guys get into film work, you guys will take

669
00:30:40,079 --> 00:30:44,680
on essentially this telefootball elf model, which is pretty cool.

670
00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: Explain a little bit.

671
00:30:46,119 --> 00:30:49,359
Speaker 3: People can sign up for it on Training Train three

672
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,519
DQB dot com.

673
00:30:51,759 --> 00:30:53,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what's happening right now as well that

674
00:30:53,839 --> 00:30:56,880
I should probably say is with high school playoffs being

675
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,839
right around the corner, you have some of these teams

676
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,640
in different states that they're getting first round bys. You know,

677
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,359
the coaches give them a weekend off after you know,

678
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,480
their final regular season game. We have a lot of

679
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,119
players saying, hey, you know they always give us the

680
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,720
Saturday Sunday off after our last.

681
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 5: Game before we head into playoffs. Can we come down?

682
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 4: And so we already have a lot of quarterbacks that

683
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,759
are setting up kind of that end of the year

684
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,559
tune up, end of regular season tune up. And people

685
00:31:24,599 --> 00:31:26,119
ask me all the time, John, what is it you

686
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,720
do for your pro guys, you know, in college guys

687
00:31:28,759 --> 00:31:29,400
during the season.

688
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 5: Well, we watch all their tape. We're giving them feedback

689
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:32,559
throughout the year.

690
00:31:32,759 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 4: But then during bye weeks, me and my partners were

691
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,000
always on the road.

692
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,319
Speaker 5: During bye weeks for tune ups, and.

693
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 4: People ask, well, how come these guys need tune ups. Well,

694
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,400
there isn't usually as much of an emphasis on mechanical

695
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,519
efficiency throughout the course of a season because everything is

696
00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:52,000
on scheme, everything is on understanding what the defense is,

697
00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:54,559
giving coverage, game plan. You're putting in so much time

698
00:31:54,839 --> 00:31:57,880
to the actual game that there's not really that that

699
00:31:58,599 --> 00:32:02,240
I that is on mechanics. And so sometimes kind of

700
00:32:02,319 --> 00:32:04,480
like your cleat, you know, gets a little loose and

701
00:32:04,519 --> 00:32:05,640
you got to come and you got to tie it

702
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:06,839
back up to tighten it up.

703
00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:09,119
Speaker 5: That's the same thing that we do with quarterbacks.

704
00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:11,039
Speaker 4: We could go out during certain times of the year

705
00:32:11,279 --> 00:32:13,559
and you get little tune ups, just a little fine tuning.

706
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,640
And so right now is a big time of year

707
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,279
as high school football regular seasons are winding down, a

708
00:32:19,319 --> 00:32:21,720
lot of guys are looking for that tune up before

709
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,079
they head into playoff time.

710
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 3: John Beck, Ladies and gentlemen, John, always appreciate our time together.

a show.

760
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 3: Hammer time, Ronald the three man Weaver, Ronnie, what do

761
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,079
you got for me?

762
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 7: Bear Bachmeier is the Big twelve Freshman of the Year,

763
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,280
not candidate. He is the Big twelve Freshman Player of

764
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,280
the Year. Give me the award now, I don't care

765
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,159
who got selected. A lot of controversy.

766
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:40,199
Speaker 3: I give the award Big Twelve Football Week nine honorees

767
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,280
offensive Player of the Week Bert flick Ficklan of Utah,

768
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,199
as well as Connor Wigman, quarterback Houston, and Freshman in

769
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:52,039
the Week Beard. Excuse me, Bert Ficklin got both of them,

770
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,280
got both of the awards. That sounds like Bear fatigue

771
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:55,480
to me.

772
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, bear fatigue.

773
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 7: Bear has made the voters fatigue now because he's been

774
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,480
so dominant. But at the end of the day, the

775
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,559
Big Twelve will try anything they can been to make

776
00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:07,639
sure that Byu is not nastally recognized.

777
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:09,639
Speaker 8: They don't want Brigham. They don't want Brigham.

778
00:35:09,639 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: They don't want Brigham. You don't think I.

779
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,559
Speaker 8: Don't think they want Brigham. Think about it.

780
00:35:12,639 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 7: Bear has had how many performances where you could have

781
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,440
been both the Big Twelve Freshmen of the Week and

782
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,199
the Offensive Player of the Week where they just have

783
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,880
chosen not to give it to him. I find it

784
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,400
pretty interesting at the backup and that this Utah team

785
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,719
was running up the score on a bad Colorado team

786
00:35:26,039 --> 00:35:28,119
and they decide, okay, well let's just do that. So

787
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,159
I don't know, at the end of the day, it

788
00:35:30,159 --> 00:35:34,000
doesn't matter. Bird whatever, fickle fickling fickle, the award over

789
00:35:34,039 --> 00:35:36,440
to Bear Bachmeyer because Bear is gonna Bear's gonna win

790
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,280
the award. That's what's gonna happen at the end of

791
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,800
the day. I'm telling you, Bear's gonna have it. When

792
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,639
it's all said and done, they will have to literally

793
00:35:43,079 --> 00:35:46,519
deliver the award in person, mail it, put a statue

794
00:35:46,559 --> 00:35:47,360
however you want to do.

795
00:35:47,639 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 8: His name is already engraved on it and they know

796
00:35:49,519 --> 00:35:50,440
it as we all know it.

797
00:35:50,679 --> 00:35:53,559
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't think car Rauder is a bad team.

798
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,840
I mean, they beat Iowa State, they did at home

799
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,599
twenty four to seventeen. They were competitive against TCU. They

800
00:35:58,639 --> 00:36:00,320
lost a close one to Bay on their whole field.

801
00:36:00,599 --> 00:36:04,320
It's about home and away to me, and you just

802
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,800
have a home field advantage. Especially in the Big twelve.

803
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,199
A lot of a lot of fans show up. It's similar.

804
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,320
It's a kin to the Big ten and the SEC crowds.

805
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,800
And and that's why I always stay was in this game.

806
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,599
I think Bay is a better football team. It's obvious

807
00:36:19,679 --> 00:36:21,679
to me that they're a better football team. But in

808
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,360
front of the their home crowd, uh, it's it gets

809
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,239
a whole lot more difficult. How many false starts, illegal

810
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:30,920
procedures at b what you have in front of that

811
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,480
student section of of of Jack Trice Stadium, they were

812
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:38,119
like on their own two yard line, backed up.

813
00:36:38,199 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: It was.

814
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,199
Speaker 3: It was ugly, man. It looked very similar kind to

815
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,199
what the Rock does at our home field of Lavelle

816
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,599
Edwards Stadium. So I think I think Utah also has

817
00:36:49,639 --> 00:36:53,800
a very very good home field advantage, which then begs

818
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:58,840
the question the form and fashion which Utah demolished Colorado.

819
00:36:59,000 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a lot of.

820
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 3: Bo are Utah fans saying, look like, you know, the

821
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,519
rest were in on it and they had their home field,

822
00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:08,360
but on a neutral field, we're taking it to the

823
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,840
BYU Cougars. So you have a lot of Utah fans

824
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,719
right now, especially with Texas Tech having to start the

825
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,800
third string quarterback, they're wondering, they're praying, they're wishing, they're

826
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,559
hoping that they meet up with Brigham Young University in

827
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,320
Arlington in the Big twelve championship game. Now, don't sleep

828
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,400
on Houston, don't sleep on Cincinnati. They're very much still

829
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,840
in the race for this and so is Texas Tech.

830
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,840
But anything can happen to the Big twelve, no doubt

831
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:37,280
about it.

832
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,039
Speaker 1: A holy war in Arlington.

833
00:37:39,119 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 7: The team that's ridiculous Colorado. Colorado's not a bad team.

834
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,400
Bad team by record, they've been in every one of

835
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,480
these Bug games. Look, you lose to Houston by sixteen,

836
00:37:48,519 --> 00:37:51,480
bin you lose a TCU thirty five to twenty one,

837
00:37:51,559 --> 00:37:54,079
That game really doesn't tell because up until five minutes

838
00:37:54,119 --> 00:37:56,480
it was a one score game. Colorado was marching and

839
00:37:56,559 --> 00:37:59,400
it just didn't convert the fourth down. So Colorado by

840
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,480
record and show. But I mean they still got opportunity

841
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,119
to get be eligible three to five. People may say

842
00:38:03,159 --> 00:38:05,440
that's crazy, which means they got to win three out

843
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,400
of the last four. But check this out. Listen, this

844
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,960
has been Arizona. They get it home, that's possible. West

845
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,960
Virginia on the road. Westernia is not a good football team.

846
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,199
They haven't won game yet. Then you got Arizona State

847
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,119
at home and then Kansas State on the road.

848
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,159
Speaker 3: So it's possible, still possible if b WA, you and

849
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,800
Utah meet in Arlington at is it going to be

850
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:23,800
an AT and T Stadium?

851
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 5: Again?

852
00:38:24,079 --> 00:38:26,199
Speaker 8: Yes, it's still there I think until twenty thirty one.

853
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's an eighty thousand seat stadium.

854
00:38:30,119 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 1: Does it sell out last year in a twelve championship?

855
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:33,159
I did not.

856
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 3: Fifty five thousand showed up. That's a good pool in

857
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,480
a neutral state in Arizona State r idea. Yeah, you

858
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:45,159
know what I mean. It's chilidd so eighty thousand. I mean,

859
00:38:45,159 --> 00:38:46,840
I don't want to get ahead of myself with the

860
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,719
cart before the horse, but man, that would be tremendous.

861
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,679
And Utah looks good. Utah is a good football team.

862
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,079
You talks a good football program. Don't get it twisted.

863
00:38:56,159 --> 00:38:59,000
You you put a goose egg up on your whole

864
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,559
field and you dominat in that form of fashion. Yeah,

865
00:39:01,559 --> 00:39:04,000
you've ran it up, but still you did it. You

866
00:39:04,039 --> 00:39:07,199
were able to perform at a high level. So I'm

867
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,199
just saying, like, don't sleep on the youths either. They're

868
00:39:09,199 --> 00:39:12,000
a good football team. All right, guys, download the podcast.
