holding the down, Brett always bringing the hammer by my side.

8
00:00:16,679 --> 00:00:19,320
We got Vic Cram on the data aggregation. It's a

9
00:00:19,399 --> 00:00:24,519
Halloween Friday, October thirty, first edition of Cougar Sports.

10
00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:25,879
Speaker 1: Happy Halloween, everybody.

11
00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:28,399
Speaker 3: Hope you guys are dressing up Brett and myself as

12
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,239
mentioned in the first hour, I'm dressed right now as

13
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,600
Mario the Lamb before time. Costume did not come in

14
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,759
as I thought it would in time, so we had

15
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,600
to pivot. We had to pivot. Brett is dressed up

16
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,960
as Mike Wazowski. Tried to see if we could switch

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,039
my costume and get it to that because little Jersey

18
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,920
is actually baby Sully, so she is Baby Sully right now,

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,240
and the wife is Princess Peach. She is the princess,

20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,600
so wife might actually be mad because the baby's actually

21
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,000
the princess and the wife is my queen, so might

22
00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:00,679
have to call a queen peach, but that's not how

23
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:03,840
it goes anyway. Guys, rely from our Banterwealth Studios Banterwealth.

a lot more about Halloween than me. I gotta get

59
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:31,319
his favorite Halloween candy and where he's going for high

60
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,039
school football. Tonight we got Darnell Dixon double D on

61
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,000

Speaker 2: Hoppy Halloween to you, Happy Halloween to you. As well.

63
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,360
Your daughter probably hasn't old enough, but her first Halloween

64
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,000
where she recognizes the trick of knocking on a door

65
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,800
saying trick or treat and getting handy, the realization in

66
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,199
their eyes just they go, this is cool, this is great.

67
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,039
I remember my son, my oldest son, when he first

68
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,120
recognized how that whole thing works and how he raced

69
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:05,719
from door to door from then on, They'll never be

70
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,120
the same.

71
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, right now, you're right. She has no idea what's

72
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:12,639
going on. She can't even eat candy, even though she's

73
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,680
got the four teeth coming into next year. Next year though,

74
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:17,719
she will, so I'm looking forward to that. But you're

75
00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:21,120
not wrong. Before we get into football talking basketball talk,

76
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:23,240
what's your favorite candy? What did you like as a

77
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:25,879
kid and now as an adult? What's on the Darnell

78
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,000
Dixon the Dixon Family bucket list for candy.

79
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,159
Speaker 2: Well, peanut butter is always my favorite. So you can

80
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:33,080
say peanut butter or M and MS. But I do

81
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:37,400
have to mention that Target has this peanut butter monster

82
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,879
snack ooh, which is just fan pretay fantastic. I love that,

83
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:43,639
by the way, I would do you want to mention

84
00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:47,280
before we get into football and basketball. I just watched

85
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,439
the Big twelve women's across country final, and we talk about,

86
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,840
you know, Bear Bachmeier's an amazing freshman and aj debonsa.

87
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,879
Jane Hedigren, and I'm not exaggerating, might be the Tiger

88
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:04,560
Woods of distance running for the women in this United

89
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:07,479
States over the next decade or so. She just won

90
00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:13,159
the Big Twelve championship by forty five seconds. She just

91
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,040
ran a sub nineteen minute six thousand meters. She ran

92
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,079
eighteen twenty ninety six, which beat their old record by

93
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:27,560
more than thirty seconds. It's done. How amazing this freshman is.

94
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,480
Jane Hedergrin just b by U fans. You love trumpeting

95
00:04:31,519 --> 00:04:34,319
about all the great things going on with football and

96
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:40,319
men's basketball and the soccer team and the women's volleyball team.

97
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,600
But now you have something else you can lord over

98
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,839
your Utah fans and others by saying you've got the

99
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:51,519
best women's cross country freshmen maybe in the history of

100
00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:52,319
the sport. Right now.

101
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:57,519
Speaker 3: Absolutely, this freshman's phenomenal gata Rade high school Gatory play

102
00:04:57,519 --> 00:04:57,839
of the Year.

103
00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:01,079
Speaker 1: She was at the SP's I'm pretty sure it's her award.

104
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, By the way, I'm jealous because that award that

105
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:05,879
geta Rid of War looks fire when you look at

106
00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:08,279
how it is, that nice glass award. That's just one

107
00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:10,800
of many that she already has received and will receive.

108
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:15,160
She is dominant. Yeah, and when you look at BYU

109
00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:17,279
as a whole, you're right. You got Jane, you got

110
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,800
aj I mean, there's so many talented freshman Baron Bachmeyer,

111
00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:21,199
you're right.

112
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: And I love this.

113
00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: And I don't know if you saw this, but on

114
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,800
x Cam who works at BAM BAMS likes to give

115
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,439
back to the BYU athletes and he likes to actually

116
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:32,720
do programs that might not be as big.

117
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:34,959
Speaker 1: So I saw him giving back to the gymnastics team.

118
00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: So just want to plug and show some love to

119
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,360
the other sports at BYU because I know that football

120
00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:41,000
drives the ship.

121
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: Basketball is there too, but.

122
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: BYU is in the Big twelve because of how much

123
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,160
they're able to compete in these other sports, like cross

124
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,959
country has already brought a Big twof title and has

125
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,879
multiple national championships, and it's none against fuller basketball.

126
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,399
Speaker 1: They will have their time. They will get there. I

127
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,160
know that they will.

128
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: But you have to give credit where credits due these

129
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,600
Olympic sports have come in and they've made an impact.

130
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:03,199
Speaker 1: So love that you give a plug there.

131
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: Appreciate that, no problem. Just want to make sure everybody

132
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:08,920
knows what's going on in other sports.

133
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,759
Speaker 1: Let's get to it now. Let's get to the football talk.

134
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: Bear Bachmeyer bys want to buy as to remind everybody

135
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,959
eight to no double ed. Is this how you imagined

136
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:20,759
it to go eight to no start for Byu, I

137
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,480
mean Bear, if you compare him to Jake, right around

138
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:24,360
the same numbers.

139
00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:26,519
Speaker 1: But Jake lost last night.

140
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: Actually the two lane game did not play well, and

141
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,600
Bear Bachmeyer.

142
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: Has been playing phenomenal. Some people think it's an upgrade.

143
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: Well, it's easy to say it is now because Bayu's undefeated.

144
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,639
I think Jake had a tendency to be a little

145
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,480
more risky with his throws on occasion and made some

146
00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:47,600
pretty big turnovers in his career, but also had some

147
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:50,959
pretty amazing finishes where he led BWA you to victory

148
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,279
in the last few seconds. And Bear's done that as well.

149
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,639
You think about the Colorado game, the Arizona game, Utah

150
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:00,800
game last week against Iowa State. He can make plays

151
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,600
at the end of the game, and what I find

152
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:06,000
most amazing is that the coaching staff and enter Aaron Roderick,

153
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,480
the offensive coordinator, they have the confidence to say Bear's

154
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:12,959
gonna make the decision, He's gonna make the right decision

155
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,839
down the stretch. And so he's been spectacular as a freshman.

156
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,240
You know, I think people can talk a lot about

157
00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:24,879
where b Why you might be if Jake Retzlop had stayed,

158
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:26,720
because they would have been ranked a lot higher to

159
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:29,639
start the season. So we're looking at a number ten

160
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:35,279
ranking right now with Jake, and if they were you know, eight, No,

161
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,120
they might be in the top five or six. Who knows,

162
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:44,240
But that's you know, that's just speculation. And when you're

163
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:47,920
talking about rankings, it really doesn't matter what the AP

164
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,759
ranking is. It matters what you finish in, uh, you know,

165
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,399
the college football playoff rankings because that's where they're going

166
00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:58,279
to see you. And right now, b Why he's in

167
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,959
a really good position to earn one of those spot.

168
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:02,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, right now, b Yu is in a really good position.

169
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,040
They're picked, I think projected, go to the title game,

170
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,759
lose against Texas Tech. I'll ask you, and maybe you

171
00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:13,360
might not answer it directly, but I'm gonna ask anyway,

172
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,879
do you have BYU projected right now to go to

173
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,519
the Big twelve title game? Can this team be eleven

174
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,319
to one or undefeated going into Arlington December sixth.

175
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see how this all

176
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
plays out because if they were too and you know,

177
00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:31,000
we can speculate through all of this because we don't

178
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,480
have to take one game at a time. If BYU

179
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,919
is eleven and one going into the Big twelve Championship

180
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,799
game and loses and is eleven and two, I think

181
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,039
I don't know. I don't know what the committee will

182
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,039
say with eleven and two team out of the out

183
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:48,519
of the Big Twelve, I don't know what that will do.

184
00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:52,120
So BYU has its own destiny controlled if it can

185
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,039
just continue to keep winning. And if they're a one

186
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,120
lost team after the Big twelve Championship game, definitely they're in.

187
00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:01,279
If there are two lost team, I think it's kind

188
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:04,200
of tricky because then you've got the SEC crowing about

189
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,399
some of their two and three lost teams that they

190
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,720
should be in. And you know it's important also if

191
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,519
you make the tournament, what you're seated to see, if

192
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:16,519
maybe you can host a game you imagine hosting a

193
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,519
game in December at Levelle Edwards Stadium for a playoff game,

194
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,080
that would be fantastic, But you know, one week at

195
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,279
a time for the Cougars and coming up is Texas

196
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,759
Tech on the road, which will definitely not be a

197
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,039
very easy game to come out with a win.

198
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have to agree with you.

199
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 3: I'm with you if BYU goes into the title game

200
00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:41,279
with one loss or even is undefeated, if they get there,

201
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,639
you have to think back to SMU last year only

202
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,960
loss was the BYU that was a non conference very early.

203
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:49,519
Their second loss came in the title game to Clemson.

204
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,480
They still end up making the College Football Playoff because

205
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,960
the committee's not going to punish you, per their saying,

206
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,879
if you losing the conference championship. But if BYU were

207
00:09:57,919 --> 00:10:00,000
to lose a game, it would own it can own

208
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,200
beat a Texas Tech. In my opinion, I think Cincinnati

209
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,399
TCU UCF you were to win the other games, I

210
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:05,879
don't think that's gonna cut it. I think you have

211
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,919
to lose to the team that they project and the

212
00:10:07,919 --> 00:10:10,759
only reason, and this is why it's so interesting. SMU

213
00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:13,919
got in Darnell, but the loss to BYU actually helped

214
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,559
them because of how good BYU was. I felt like

215
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,120
that played a factor because oh By was the better

216
00:10:19,159 --> 00:10:22,399
team in their record. So it really depends. But let's

217
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:24,440
talk about the Big Twelve as a whole. Who are

218
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,639
the threats now? Because announced earlier this morning, I don't

219
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,600
know if you saw, Kenny Dillaham said on the podcast,

220
00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:32,919
I think it was Arizona Sports. Sam Levin's out for

221
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,039
the rest of the year. I would have to think

222
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,399
now that you know, the Sun Devils are not going

223
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,080
to be picked to go to the Big Twelve title

224
00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:42,080
because Sam Levin's not gonna play for the rest.

225
00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:42,919
Speaker 1: Of the ruineer of the season.

226
00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that will impact some things. And you know you're

227
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,480
talking also with Cincinnati playing really well right now and Houston.

228
00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:56,039
You know, they could go on runs at the end

229
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,000
of the season and put themselves in a position to

230
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,720
be in the Big Twelve championship game and to make

231
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,080
the College Football playoffs as well. You know, you certainly

232
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,080
can't count out in Texas Tech, even though they're having

233
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:11,080
their quarterback issues with injuries as well. You know, Cincinnati's

234
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,679
got a pretty big game this weekend at Utah that

235
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,320
could put derail some of their hopes in getting to

236
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,440
the Big Twelve championship game. It's it's a conference that

237
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,639
and I've been saying this for a while, is you know, B,

238
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,759
why you playing and in pending schedule B while you're

239
00:11:28,759 --> 00:11:32,720
playing in the Mountain West Conference, there were certain games

240
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:35,320
they were expected to win and win by double digits

241
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,559
or by three or four touchdowns, and if they didn't,

242
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,759
it was it was almost disappointing to consider it almost

243
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:44,720
almost a loss when it comes to national prominence and

244
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,120
what the the voters were thinking and what the committees

245
00:11:49,159 --> 00:11:51,559
were thinking about it. When you win a game in

246
00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:53,639
the Big Twelve, I don't care if it's by two

247
00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:57,840
or by twenty, it's a good win. And I think that,

248
00:11:58,279 --> 00:12:00,919
you know, you give yourself a and ulcer trying to

249
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,200
think about, well, you know, Colinie should have run the

250
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,519
score up a little more, or B, why you should

251
00:12:04,519 --> 00:12:07,759
have won by more in this game. You get a

252
00:12:07,879 --> 00:12:09,759
victory and you just keep going on. And I think

253
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:11,960
that's proven over the course of this year that b

254
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,039
YU has the ability to find ways to win. And

255
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,519
that's really important because when you're in close games, that's

256
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,320
got to happen. It's nice when you blow out everybody,

257
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,879
and if you're Utah fan, you're thinking, why can we

258
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,080
blow out all these other teams? But we've lost two

259
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,440
close games. I think b WHYU benefits from winning these

260
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,320
close games as they continue their schedule, because they're gonna

261
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,799
play more close games and they have familiarity with coming

262
00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:39,399
up with the big plays to win. And certainly, like

263
00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:40,799
I said, it would be nice if they could win

264
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,720
by three or four touchdowns in games, but that's not

265
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,240
happening right now. But they are benefiting from winning close

266
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:48,600
ones and that'll that'll be something that keep an eye

267
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:50,639
on as they go through the last four games of

268
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,039
this this schedule.

269
00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:54,639
Speaker 3: That one in I always state, if you take away

270
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,519
that score, that the pick six about Follosassatsuala, you know it.

271
00:12:59,759 --> 00:13:02,480
They be a closer ball game than people might think. So,

272
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,600
but that's bay they big. They play complimentary football on

273
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,720
all levels, offense, defense, and special teams. By the way,

274
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:11,720
just to hit on your point about Cincinnati, Utah now

275
00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:14,360
favorite ten and a half, I think that's because I

276
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,120
think I don't know if Cincinnati is running back's not

277
00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:19,759
gonna play, So the Bearcats have a tough task. Darnelle

278
00:13:19,759 --> 00:13:22,799
I guess I'll ask you this, and you're the journalist.

279
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:25,559
But for the BYU fan, are you are you a

280
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,799
Bearcat fan this weekend to officially knock Utah out of

281
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:31,039
the title game, because I don't think three losses is

282
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,840
gonna get you in in my personal opinion, or are

283
00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:35,519
you rooting for the Use to derail Cincinnati so you

284
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,000
can have a better chance of staying undefeated at the top.

285
00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:42,799
Speaker 2: Well, in a general sense, you always want a team

286
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,039
that you've beaten to continue to win games so that

287
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,360
win looks good, right, Yeah, But if you're a BYU fan,

288
00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:52,639
you always love to see misery up up north. So

289
00:13:53,039 --> 00:13:56,200
I think it's difficult for BYU fans to cheer and

290
00:13:56,279 --> 00:13:59,080
to push for for some BAYU fans to push for

291
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,240
Utah to be successful the rest of the season, but

292
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,679
that that definitely does improve BYU's look and their rankings

293
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,879
and and their how the committee sees them when teams

294
00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:12,559
at b YU has beat continued to play well. So

295
00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:17,360
I guess if you want BYU to to continue to

296
00:14:17,759 --> 00:14:20,440
move up the rankings, then you want you Tait to win.

297
00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:22,840
And if you if you want more misery up north

298
00:14:22,879 --> 00:14:25,159
than you want since Nanni to go into salt Wake

299
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:25,960
and get a victory.

300
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not wrong. It comes down to that. Let's

301
00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:30,200
talk about Aaron Roderick.

302
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,279
Speaker 3: I feel like he and we had Guy Holliday on

303
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,720
the show earlier this week and he said that, of course,

304
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,360
the offensive coordinate position is going to be the most unthankful.

305
00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: He said, look at the history at b YU.

306
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 3: Look at all the play callers, look at all the

307
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,080
signal callers, everybody that's call plays at BA.

308
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,279
Speaker 1: You look at the history of it. You have some legends,

309
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:48,679
and you do.

310
00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 3: When I thought about that, and when I looked and

311
00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:52,200
I went looked up who it was.

312
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: But a rid to me is up there as well.

313
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,679
Speaker 3: And I feel like he doesn't get the credit to

314
00:14:56,759 --> 00:14:59,919
have beer Bachmeyer not just a no but playing like

315
00:15:00,039 --> 00:15:02,559
he's going to be the freshman, the national freshman of

316
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,039
the year, the quarterback player of the year, and the

317
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,840
freshman of the year in the Big Twelve.

318
00:15:08,039 --> 00:15:08,639
Speaker 1: I feel like he.

319
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: Still gets discredited at times, and I feel like that's

320
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:12,320
just not right.

321
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And a couple of things to recognize that we're

322
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,759
talking about offensive coordinators, and one of those is it's

323
00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:26,000
a chess match between the offensive coordinator and the other

324
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,440
team's defensive coordinator, and there's some good ones, and sometimes

325
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:31,879
the other guy wins. You know, they call a play

326
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,600
that they blitz right into the hole of a play

327
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,399
that would work, or you know, you have some matchup

328
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,000
issues where they've got one guy you can't quite control

329
00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:42,960
and it messes you up. So I think you got

330
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,240
to give credit at times to the other guys because

331
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:48,679
they work hard, they practice, are they spend late nights

332
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,879
trying to figure out what to do, and sometimes they

333
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,519
win on those one on one situations. But and that's

334
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,799
that's one thing. The second thing is I think that

335
00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:01,279
what we're seeing from this you coaching staff on both

336
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:06,279
sides of the ball is really good adjustments. They continue

337
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,600
to tell us that teams are playing are showing things

338
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,799
they didn't ever seen before. And whatever adjustments to be

339
00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:16,320
why you made against Iowa State basically led to a

340
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:20,480
twenty four to three second half. That's pretty impressive to

341
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:23,879
be able to do that and to take control of

342
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:26,720
the football game. So I think you've got to give

343
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Aaron Roderick, as they say, his flowers for developing Bear

344
00:16:32,039 --> 00:16:36,679
Blachmeyer but also finding ways to make adjustments to find

345
00:16:36,679 --> 00:16:41,200
the right place when aj or when LJ. Martin went

346
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,759
out and at the end of the first quarter, you

347
00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:46,000
would think that would have spelled pretty much doomed for

348
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:49,919
the offense because now they don't really have the run threat,

349
00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:52,840
and that's going to allow Iowa State to tee off

350
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:56,320
on Bear and to force him to throw and b

351
00:16:56,399 --> 00:16:58,600
what you still came up with great plays and threw

352
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:01,320
for more than three hundred yards with out the threat

353
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,039
of l J. Martin. Their whole game plan is built

354
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,240
on l J. Martin establishing things and then playing off

355
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,960
of that. So the adjustments that Aaron Rodrick and his

356
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:13,279
offensive coaches made in the second half against Iowa State

357
00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,839
were tremendous and so that you have to give credit

358
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,920
that way. So, yeah, it's a thankless job sometimes, and

359
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,839
you know you're counting on as an offensive corner, you're

360
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:27,200
counting on eleven guys, eleven teenagers, eleven, you know, barely

361
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:33,720
twenties to make good decisions and to fulfill whatever tasks

362
00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:37,200
you've given them. And sometimes that works better than others others.

363
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,400
But I think Aaron Roderick's proven over the course of

364
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,480
his career very good at developing quarterbacks and very good

365
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,839
at finding plays to make things work, and that's an

366
00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:47,920
example what we've seen this year. I think.

367
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: I mean, he took Jake Gretz laugh who arguably you

368
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,680
could say I had no offers, and look what he

369
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,480
did with him. Eaton'slovis Jaron Hall, Zach Wilson. I mean,

370
00:17:57,599 --> 00:17:59,400
look at that. Honestly, would honestly love to see what

371
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,000
he had done with you know, tayso healthfully to a degree.

372
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,160
But that's maybe the next life. You know, when we're

373
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,559
all there, we can discuss at a later point in Tommy,

374
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:11,119
you mentioned LJ. Can BYU get to the title game,

375
00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:16,240
get a college football playoff Berth without LJ? Because there

376
00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:19,039
was some slander on one on Brett always bringing a

377
00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:21,559
hammer one of the videos he had put out that

378
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:25,559
BYU played better without LJ and Iowa State game, Oh,

379
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,359
they're fine.

380
00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:27,279
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

381
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: I think if LJ is not able to go against

382
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:33,000
Texas Tech, that's a problem because Texas Tech has only

383
00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:36,039
allowed sixty four points in conference this season. They're a

384
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:36,839
really good defense.

385
00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

386
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: Aaron Roderick on The Coordinating Corner Show this week was

387
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:46,519
talking about how teams they play against. Generally, what they

388
00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:48,599
think is if we can slow down the running game

389
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,240
will force the freshman quarterback to throw the ball war

390
00:18:51,279 --> 00:18:53,920
and he's gonna make mistakes. I would think that that

391
00:18:54,039 --> 00:18:57,359
narrative would be losing a lot of steam for the

392
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,839
first eight games of the season because Bears proven that

393
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,920
he can get the job done. And so I'm wondering

394
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,200
in the next four games how defenses might adjust. Certainly

395
00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:10,359
BYU's offenses is better when LJ is healthy and ready

396
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,079
to go. I think he will be ready to play

397
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,680
against Texas Tech, and so BYU will have their full

398
00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:21,079
arsenal available that way. But I think defenses and defensive

399
00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:24,240
coordinators are playing the percentages and saying, Okay, well, there's

400
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,400
a freshman quarterback, let's make him make plays. And if

401
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,319
they start watching game film, they start seeing he is

402
00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:33,680
making plays every single game. He's making plays and forcing

403
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,519
the throw may not be the best idea. So I'm

404
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:40,759
interested to see how Texas Tech and Cincinnati and TCU,

405
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:45,160
and you see I defend by whether LJA Martin's there

406
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:45,440
or not.

407
00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 3: The good take love that point. What would a win

408
00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:52,960
over the Red Raiders mean. Joe Klatt still has Texas

409
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,519
Tech as the to be b YU to be the

410
00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:58,759
representing the Big twelve. Others do too. What would a

411
00:19:58,759 --> 00:20:02,559
win next week a Lovebig do F this BAU program.

412
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: I think it would put them in a really great

413
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,079
position because if you figure, BYU needs to go three

414
00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:10,680
and one in their final four games to get to

415
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,519
the Big Twelve championship game. Definitely, the Texas Tech game

416
00:20:14,599 --> 00:20:18,599
I think is the toughest one. Cincinnati's played really well.

417
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,960
TCU has a great passing game, and UCF has great athletes,

418
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,319
and BYU is going to be stressed to beat all

419
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:29,759
four of those teams. But a win in Lubbock would

420
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,400
I think, put them over the top and really give

421
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,519
them the confidence they need to finish off that schedule.

422
00:20:36,079 --> 00:20:38,480
But again, three and one, as I said, puts them

423
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:40,279
in the position they want to be in. So a

424
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,079
loss in Lubbock isn't as devastating as one might think.

425
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,960
If by you can take care of business with the

426
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,160
other three games.

427
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,839
Speaker 3: Let's talk some hoop now, you know we have to

428
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:56,079
talk hoop on this show. Starting Monday, November three, two

429
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,599
days away, Double d YU basketball officially tips off of

430
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,799
again It's Villanova. Your thoughts on the overall matchup, little preview,

431
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:06,440
How do you see this game plan out for BYU.

432
00:21:09,279 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still doing some digging on Villanova to kind

433
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,480
of see. They've got a new coach this year, they

434
00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:18,200
got a couple of guys that are out injured, they

435
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,559
were counting on that are transfers, got a good freshman,

436
00:21:21,839 --> 00:21:26,119
So there's talent certainly for Villanova in this game BYU.

437
00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:29,000
So far this season has been interesting. In terms of

438
00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:33,039
the two exhibition games. Kevin Young said he didn't feel

439
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:35,920
like the game at Nebraska was real because there have

440
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,279
been some injuries and some things with this team. We're

441
00:21:38,319 --> 00:21:40,839
gonna see Dawson Baker on Monday for the first time

442
00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:44,720
this season. He's been nursing an injury that they want

443
00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:47,359
to just make sure he's fully healthy. And so when

444
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,480
Rob Wright goes out of the game the point guard,

445
00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:51,759
I think Dawson comes in and gives me you a

446
00:21:51,799 --> 00:21:56,519
completely different look, which is really important. I think I've

447
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,480
been really impressed with Kadeem Boop the way he's played

448
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,559
coming off the bench, giving BYU energy. And then my

449
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,359
other question right now is where Richie Saunders is at.

450
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:09,559
He's not shot the ball well in the first two

451
00:22:09,599 --> 00:22:12,799
preseason games. I don't know how concerned I am about that.

452
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,000
I'm just more concerned about watching how he becomes part

453
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:21,599
of the offense. When AJ is getting so many ISOs,

454
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,880
it's very much an NBA looks so far that we've

455
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,279
seen where they give Aj to ball and let him

456
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:28,880
go to work, and that's fine, but then everyone else

457
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,680
is kind of standing around watching him go and Richie,

458
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,839
as we know, as a man in motion, he needs

459
00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:37,119
to be moving coming off screens. And that's not to

460
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,000
say that Kevin Young won't run plays for Richie. Just

461
00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:43,559
those first two games, he's gotten some open looks from

462
00:22:43,559 --> 00:22:46,160
three and not hit him. He's not really been going

463
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,519
to the basket that much, and so I'm just wondering

464
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:50,759
where Richie fits in with this when AJ is the

465
00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:53,599
center of this offense. We'll see more of that as

466
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,720
the season progresses, And I think k Bakada has been

467
00:22:56,799 --> 00:23:03,839
terrific so far. I liked what I saw from Canard

468
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,599
Davis the last game. He made some big plays down

469
00:23:06,599 --> 00:23:09,440
the stretch. So this is still a working progress, and

470
00:23:09,519 --> 00:23:10,599
you know, there are a lot of new guys and

471
00:23:10,759 --> 00:23:14,720
a lot of guys feeling new positions. But and when

472
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,920
we were talking about this before we started up, and

473
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,119
maybe that's your next question. But what happens when BYU

474
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,519
loses a couple of games in the preseason. Then they

475
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:26,640
set this schedule up to really test themselves as well

476
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,680
as keeping their net ranking high. They're following the pattern

477
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,160
that Arizona showed last year. They A B why you

478
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,400
can higher in the Big twelve standings in Arizona had

479
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,519
a better record, but Arizona played a more difficult schedule

480
00:23:39,559 --> 00:23:42,440
and got a higher seed in the NCAA tournament. That's

481
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,759
what B what you're shooting for. So a loss, two

482
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,599
or three losses in the preseason, that's not catastrophic. They

483
00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:50,839
want to win those games, but they're more concerned with

484
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:54,000
how that affects their net ranking at the end of

485
00:23:54,039 --> 00:23:56,519
the season. They won a two or three seed, not

486
00:23:56,599 --> 00:23:59,720
a five or six seed, And so as BYU fans

487
00:23:59,759 --> 00:24:02,119
goes this preseason, they might see, B, what you dropped

488
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,640
out of the top ten if they lose a couple

489
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,000
of games to you know, if they lose to Yukon

490
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,440
or Wisconsin or Clemson or whoever. But it's just part

491
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,400
of the plan to put them in a great position

492
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,240
at the end of the season. We know that the

493
00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:18,119
Cruvers closed really well, last year, in the first year

494
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,880
under Kevin Young, they were on a real run when

495
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,200
they got into the NCAA tournament and continued that. So

496
00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:26,039
what they're hoping to do is repeat that, but put

497
00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:28,559
themselves in a little higher seed and give themselves a

498
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:30,359
little bit of shot at moving on in the tournament.

499
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,400
That's that's kind of a long answer to your question,

500
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,680
but that's what's flowing through my mind is this season

501
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:35,559
gets ready to start.

502
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,279
Speaker 3: No, you said a lot of good things, and just

503
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:39,799
to tell the fans when we were preparing and prepping

504
00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:41,640
you for this interview, that was one of the questions

505
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,160
I said, Hey, I'm going to ask about that if

506
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,680
b why you loses to Villanova or early in the season,

507
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:47,799
is it going to be a knee jerk reaction from

508
00:24:47,839 --> 00:24:51,319
fans because remember last year when they lost to you know,

509
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,279
to Providence on the road. People up, Yep, he's not

510
00:24:54,279 --> 00:24:56,960
a Yegor's not a lottery pick. Nope, people just jumped

511
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,359
immediately to conclusions. I'm like, you guys are wrong. I'm

512
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,119
sitting next to out at games. They're telling me that

513
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,559
he's a lottery pick, Like, what are you talking about? Like,

514
00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:06,839
and I'm not trying to be rude. I don't care

515
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,319
what the national these other people guys and analyzing.

516
00:25:09,759 --> 00:25:11,039
Speaker 1: And fans are saying.

517
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: If I'm sitting next to an NBA scout who's telling

518
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,319
me he's a lottery pick, I'm probably gonna trust that

519
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,599
guy more often who's evalu waiting than other people, unless

520
00:25:18,599 --> 00:25:20,559
he's just telling me false information, which I don't feel

521
00:25:20,599 --> 00:25:22,480
like they would have done because they've been got the

522
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,480
same information when you sit next to him, and you

523
00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:27,240
gotta appreciate when you sitting next to scouts, then that's

524
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:30,039
the information. But that's why I bring it up because

525
00:25:30,039 --> 00:25:32,240
if they they could lose the Villanova like it's the

526
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,480
first game of the year, figure things out. It's not

527
00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:36,880
football right where you can catch a team early. If

528
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,680
you don't with the way they're not shooting the three ball, well,

529
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,920
if it doesn't fall, they could lose this game. And

530
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,720
I don't want fans to be like, look, Kevin Young

531
00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:45,559
got this extension and just BYU fans gets so knee

532
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,839
jerk reaction to one bad you know, piece of evidence.

533
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,599
And I said, look, what did they do? Like you

534
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,079
alluded to last year? Would you rather then lose to

535
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,079
Villanova early? And then lose the Iowa State at home

536
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,759
February twenty six next year, or woud you rather lose

537
00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:01,920
the game and then they'll roll off nine or ten

538
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,279
in row beating Houston, beating a Baylor, beating an Arizona,

539
00:26:05,519 --> 00:26:07,039
beating a Texas Tech of the crib beat in the

540
00:26:07,079 --> 00:26:10,400
Iowa State. I think you'll take the latter rather than

541
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,160
the forward double D Before I let you go, where

542
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,119
are you gonna be at for high school football tonight?

543
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,759
And what's the best way we and our listeners can

544
00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:19,319
support you what you do and how you do it?

545
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 2: Well. I'm going to be at the computer Orum. Football

546
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,440
game starts at four o'clock, so it's nice and bright

547
00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:30,079
for me to get some good photos since I'm now

548
00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:35,079
shooting photos as well. That game's interesting because in six

549
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,480
of the past seven seasons those teams have played twice,

550
00:26:39,559 --> 00:26:41,440
once in the regular season and once in the playoffs.

551
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,400
They always seem to be taking each other on Orange

552
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,119
a little higher seed this year. But I expect a

553
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,160
pretty good game and you'll be able to find all

554
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,519
