49
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,719

our offenses, we're running blitz is where we're motioning, we're

51
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:22,120
there's so much into these options. I didn't start playing

00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,560
flag football until fourth grade, you know. And I've got

53
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,520

We're back to back, right, So we won the championship

last year, wanted this year, went undefeated this year. The

56
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:35,680
only team that beat us last year was Skyridge, who

57
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,120

00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:07,439
but yeah, it's such a fun time.

68
00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: I love football. I love coaching football.

69
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,319
Speaker 1: I love the lessons I've learned, good, bad, ugly, devastating,

70
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:18,879
and being on top of the world, all wrapped into one.

71
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,680
It's called it's a it's football, football, baby.

72
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: I feel like football is a great teacher of the

73
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:26,680
lessons of life.

74
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:27,159
Speaker 2: It is.

75
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:33,199
Speaker 3: It's a a sebastion of toughness, grit, fortitude, mental, physical, emotional,

76
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:38,080
all those things, even spiritual, all right, and you do

77
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:41,719
create a certain amount in a world that is increasingly

78
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,159
you know, soft and supple and weak and in all facets, right,

79
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,479
that lacks fortitude, with so much affluence, the so much convenience,

80
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,719
with so much technology, with so much it's like, you know,

81
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:55,879
what are we doing? What are we doing with our

82
00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:58,439
our the next generation? And and football is a great

83
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:02,000
way to teach all those things. And you know, I

84
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,319
think mixed martial arts is another way that young men

85
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,840
and even young women can be engaged in that and

86
00:04:07,159 --> 00:04:08,000
learn those lessons.

87
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,719
Speaker 2: And then I think the US military.

88
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: I think if you look at like those three elements,

89
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:17,680
those three like factions, you know, as you get into

90
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,680
youth and young adulthood, those are the three ways in

91
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,959
which and living on a farm, I guess too, like

92
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,040
being like self sufficient living on a farm, and like

93
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:29,399
the daily chores, the daily riggers, the daily grind. It's

94
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,959
not maybe as competitive, but it's more like, hey, you

95
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,519
know you got to you gotta go do the chores

96
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:36,879
or else choice, get it get it done, gets d

97
00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:39,720
right is get stuff done now?

98
00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: You have to So I'm right there with you.

in the segment. Shout out to your team getting the win.

101
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,399
Final play of the game, they were on the five

102
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,040
yard line. They ended up running looked like maybe a

103
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:56,680
little power, a little off tackle off the sea gap.

104
00:04:56,639 --> 00:04:59,399
Speaker 1: And their number one I don't know his name, excellent

105
00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:02,879

Speaker 2: LJ. Martin has been cleared and he's been practicing.

116
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: Pete Damil reported on on Here's the ESPN Platform that

117
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,360
that l J has been practicing, he will be ready

118
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,240
to go, He'll be cleared, which you know I stated

119
00:05:49,319 --> 00:05:52,920
yesterday and even last week on Wednesday. I'm like, to me,

120
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,040
the mechanism looks like an AC joint. Did you have

121
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:55,920
ever an AC joint?

122
00:05:55,959 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: Sprain?

123
00:05:56,439 --> 00:06:00,319
Speaker 1: I had a shoulder separation, that class two separation, you know,

124
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:00,959
was it.

125
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,199
Speaker 3: An AC joint or was it glenno humoroal like so

126
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:06,040
like the humorou is going into the glenoid or is

127
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,360
it or is it.

128
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: This one that's above my grade? No? No, no, right,

129
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:11,959
that one? So you can almost so I couldn't lift

130
00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:14,000
my arm up this way. Yeah, so that seems like

131
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:14,720
a C joint.

132
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a diving past and landed on the

133
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,160
shoulder here. Yeah it was, yeah, you can yeah, I don't.

134
00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:23,319
Speaker 2: Know they taped it up weird And did they tape

135
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:26,160
it across this way? Did it take all the way back? Yeah?

136
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: And then down it's a joint, Okay, yeah, and then

137
00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:31,399
I've got a one shoulder that tired, the other.

138
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,639
Speaker 2: Now a joint. Yeah, so like you can play through

139
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:36,959
an ac Yeah, like you were able to play through it.

140
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:38,639
Speaker 3: They taped it down. You put a little padding there,

141
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:41,519
and you're, yeah, you just feel it. You feel that,

142
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,560
but you can play through. And that's what I'm saying.

143
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:46,439
You ought to put your other shoulder down when you

144
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,560
try to run into somebody.

145
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:48,759
Speaker 2: And that was my only thing.

146
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 3: Like when I was valuing the mechanism and and I

147
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,319
sent it off to all my docks, I'm like, what

148
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:54,079
does this look like to you? And like even his

149
00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:57,279
reaction afterwards, Like to me, everyone was like, the mechanism

150
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,560
looks a c joints and that could be a great shoe,

151
00:06:59,560 --> 00:06:59,800
could be.

152
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: When I saw his reaction, it was that hurt not

153
00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:08,639
sure what it is. Doesn't feel like it's something's really broken,

154
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,720
but it hurt.

155
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: Hurts, Yeah, it hurts. And so they shut him down

156
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:16,319
and Bill, you still got the win. Incredible, but he's back,

157
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,319
which he could have kept him going. I think they

158
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,240
could have kept him in the game.

159
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: But I think that I mean, obviously looking back, you know,

160
00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:24,720
a great decision and keeping him out because.

161
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: We were able to pull out the win. And now

162
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,680
he's healthy for the biggest game of the.

163
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: Year, no doubt about it. And you know, healthy is

164
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:33,560
a subjective term. Here, he's able to go. Will he

165
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,519
be lowering his shoulder in the same similar fashion to me,

166
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:37,920
I don't think you need to bend at the waist.

167
00:07:37,959 --> 00:07:40,639
You just have to lower your center of gravity and

168
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,519
like the correct leverage, correct leverage, you know, and fight

169
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,560
through contact. And so hopefully, hopefully he can do that.

170
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:51,439
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's real good at using his lower body. He's

171
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:54,360
shifty because he's got the mobile hips that kind of

172
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,519
goes side to side that they kind of shuck people off,

173
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,079
so he doesn't have to run people over. Although we

174
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:02,199
we need him, we need him the bully through the middle,

175
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:05,000
you know. And and uh yeah, I think he's going

176
00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:07,560
to do well. I'm excited that he's back.

177
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,319
Speaker 3: Aaron Roders said on The Coordinators one of the last week,

178
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,759
a pretty large junk of our game plan is centered

179
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,040
around l J.

180
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: Morton.

181
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,319
Speaker 3: I agree with you now you say LJ is the

182
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:20,560
keystone of the b YU offense, so getting him back

183
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:24,680
is critical, I think. And although it was fun to

184
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,959
watch bear throat for three hundred fifty years.

185
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,879
Speaker 2: It was great the other side of what what we

186
00:08:29,959 --> 00:08:30,639
have and there was.

187
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,279
Speaker 1: You know, like we talked last week, it's great to

188
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,840
see a rod have an opportunity to get thrown into

189
00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:39,279
the fire that you you the whole game plan is

190
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,759
out the window. Now we've got to put something together

191
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:42,759
and we got to figure out how.

192
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: To do it.

193
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,919
Speaker 3: You know, you're out a way to win, right, Uh,

194
00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:48,840
by't know. As I mentioned top ten, and this is

195
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:52,600
the first time in b YU football history that they've

196
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:55,000
faced another top ten team.

197
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: While they are a top ten team, that's awesome. Check

198
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:57,600
this out right.

199
00:08:57,639 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 3: So the other two like when b top ten, they've

200
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,679
played two teams that were also in the top twenty

201
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,080
five or the highest ranked were Coastal Carolina in twenty

202
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,840
twenty and then in nineteen ninety seven Cotton Bowl versus

203
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,840
Kansas State, they were number fourteen.

204
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: Kansas State was coach Schneider. So those were the two.

205
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: Like when they've matched up with the best teams, they've

206
00:09:19,039 --> 00:09:21,159
lost one, they've won one in those games.

207
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty crazy when they're ranked right.

208
00:09:23,879 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now this is new territory, but I think it's

209
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,240
something we're gonna get used to I think we're going

210
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,080
to continue to recruit well and we should be battling

211
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,159
it out like this. And I don't generally record games

212
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,840
to watch after the fact other than by yeah. I

213
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:43,879
recorded the Texas Tech game and I went back and

214
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:46,840
watched it on Saturday because they played similar time as

215
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,960
we had our game then. And if Texas Tech plays

216
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,399
how they played this past week, we should do really well.

217
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,759
I just felt like they kept they stumbled so many

218
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:04,440
time times. But Kansas State just didn't have the turnovers.

219
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,679
And you know, they didn't have it any but if

220
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,480
you had a Kansas State team that didn't turn the

221
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,159
ball over once, it would have been a different game,

222
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,559
you know. So having having some of the ball control

223
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,960
and the ability to hold the ball and not turn

224
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,159
it over, which b why who has done well this year,

225
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,200
will have a big effect. But this is this is exciting.

226
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:27,600
I mean college game day. There you have everything coming

227
00:10:27,639 --> 00:10:30,200
to a head in this game. The two best teams

228
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,480
in the conference are playing. So exciting to have a

229
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:35,960
conference again, you know, and and be able to have

230
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:39,360
these kind of battles and and who knows, I mean,

231
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:42,279
there's so many different directions as that we win. We

232
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,159
could we could play tex Tech again in the championship game,

233
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,080
you know, or we could play Utah and but all

234
00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:50,639
all of the games, everything matters from here on out,

235
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:56,080
and and that's fun, you know, it's it's uh. We

236
00:10:56,279 --> 00:10:59,120
we have a chance to just have an amazing season,

237
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,000
and we have up untill now, and and I think

238
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,519
we'll continue to work hard and do it.

239
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 3: So, if you're a BYU fan, who would you want

240
00:11:08,879 --> 00:11:10,720
to face in the Big twelve Championship Game?

241
00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: Do you think?

242
00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 3: Would it be Texas Tech? Would it be Utah? Would

243
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,480
it be Cincinnati? These are the top teams and b

244
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,679
wu's playing all of them on their back end of

245
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,960
their schedule, and they're gonna have to.

246
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: Play them again.

247
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,519
Speaker 3: If they continue to win, or even if they're just

248
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:25,799
a one lost team, even if there are two loss team,

249
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:28,000
they could make it into the Big twelve Championship game,

250
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,879
and they're gonna play one of these teams once.

251
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you love to play Utah again just for

252
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,720
have two Holy Wars in one year.

253
00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:40,399
Speaker 2: I mean that that's unheard of. But Utah's rolling right now.

254
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:46,159
Speaker 1: Utah is playing their best football right now, and I

255
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,840
don't know. I had to see how this Texas Tech

256
00:11:47,879 --> 00:11:53,679
game goes and and after watching Cincinnati and Utahs, unless

257
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,120
that was a flute game by Cincinnati, I don't know.

258
00:11:56,039 --> 00:11:57,919
Speaker 2: How they're gonna fare out the rest of the season.

259
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:58,519
You know.

260
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,039
Speaker 1: They Utah just walked all over them, and and they

261
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,440
out gained Utah by Cincinnati and the yardage and but yeah,

262
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,000
what a game by Utah. So so I would love

263
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:13,120
to see, you know, I already told my friends and

264
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:18,320
my my, my traveling brothers and cousins that if if

265
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,399
we if we beat Texas Tech this week, I'm buying

266
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:24,279
my ticket to the Big twelve championship game. Bye, I'm

267
00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:26,799
buying my buying my plane ticket, you know, and then

268
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:28,200
expecting to.

269
00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, what do you make of the odds here?

270
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: And I'm not a baker, they go up, so they

271
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:37,639
were ten and a half still, so yeah, I'm pretty

272
00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:39,360
sure it's still ten and a half. I'll double check

273
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,559
on that, but yesterday was ten and a half. Yeah,

274
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,080
point favorite as a as a b YU side, I

275
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,440
love it. Yeah, throw us under the bus.

276
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: It's at nine and a half and half would just

277
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,559
drop yeah, yeah, I mean what a great throw that

278
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:55,320
up on the wall.

279
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,799
Speaker 1: Talk about it every day, you know, remember in twenty

280
00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:02,320
three the spitting you know, might just remember it all.

281
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: Now, let's bring it all yeah, the Spig game, bring

282
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:05,120
it all back together.

283
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,639
Speaker 1: You know, everything builds momentum up until that game and

284
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,559
until they kickoff.

285
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: And so yeah, I like the ten and a half.

286
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:14,200
I thought it was crazy.

287
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: You know, I would understand a six and a half,

288
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,120
maybe a six point because they're home, you know, and

289
00:13:19,919 --> 00:13:22,080
and there's a lot of hype. They've played well this year,

290
00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:26,679
they have their starting quarterback back, you know. So but yeah,

291
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,159
the respect level to BYU is is definitely not there.

292
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: What's your theory on that?

293
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 3: What's your theory on why b YU has been an

294
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,600
underdog in the last two games, they found a way

295
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:43,720
to win. And I mean, if you go side by

296
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,720
side statistics, is like like BYU was was not only

297
00:13:48,759 --> 00:13:53,600
good enough to win those games statistically, but they dominated

298
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:56,559
in turnover marching. They dominated like plus six in turnover

299
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:57,519
march in those two games.

300
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: And so so I'm curious the odds. So the odds

301
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:07,720
are for the for the gambler, right, But I'm.

302
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 3: Not even talking about just like in general, I'm talking

303
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,039
about like favoritism and like like analysts picking against b

304
00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:19,120
y U. B Yu is an underdog, uh, not only

305
00:14:19,799 --> 00:14:24,279
from per Vegas, but for even the national pundits and

306
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,000
analysts that.

307
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,039
Speaker 1: They want to be They all want to be right

308
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,960
from their prediction at the beginning of the year. Jake

309
00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:32,639
retzof left they're not going to have a good season.

310
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,080
They're they're they're a five hundred team, you know. And

311
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,360
and I think a lot of the pride in some

312
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,879
of these guys, they they they want to be able

313
00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:43,559
to say, see, I told you, I told you that

314
00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:43,840
that b.

315
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,039
Speaker 2: Yu wasn't as good as that they said.

316
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: And so I think they keep with their pride and

317
00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:49,679
what they initially said in the beginning.

318
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: See, now we go out and beat Texas Tech.

319
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: There's nothing they can say at that point that that

320
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:57,080
things have to change and moving forward.

321
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that they just they got a

322
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:01,120
lot of pride. Man.

323
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,759
Speaker 1: You know, these guys, these guys predict things and they

324
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:05,360
say will b why he's not going to be good

325
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,879
and we're proving them wrong.

326
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

327
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,639
Speaker 3: By the way, do you think it's a conversation we

328
00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:15,120
had earlier this year. I keep bringing up the plus

329
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:17,320
six turnover marks in the last two games being dogs,

330
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,399
and you know you're playing at home and on the road.

331
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,440
Ball security has been really good. Efficiency has been good. Offensively,

332
00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:29,600
we're seeing Baird now even throw the ball more effectively

333
00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:32,919
through the air, and it's not just Yak. He's starting

334
00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:34,480
to push the ball down feel a little bit more too.

335
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,919
You're looking at Jake over at Tulane and they're six

336
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,919
and two right now. They've done well. They did lose

337
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,960
to Utsa, who's the four and four team, and he

338
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
got hold, he got pulled. He threw for one hundred

339
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:49,080
ninety four yards six point nine yards per attempt, one touchdown, two.

340
00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:51,720
I and t's Brandon Sullivan came in to spell him,

341
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:54,080
and he was six of seven sixty three yards, one

342
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,519
touchdown one I T. It wasn't like I means from

343
00:15:56,519 --> 00:15:58,320
an efficiency stampo. He was a little bit better, but

344
00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:00,919
they were probably just looking for a part they were behind.

345
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:03,879
Jake also ran the ball seven times, sixty three yards

346
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:07,720
and nine yards of carry and had a touchdown. If

347
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:12,519
you you look at the the.

348
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: Total stats comparative two.

349
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 3: Bear Bachmeyer with a more difficult schedule, Jake's at one

350
00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:24,720
six twenty two.

351
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:27,159
Speaker 2: Yards fifty nine point six percent completetion.

352
00:16:26,879 --> 00:16:31,279
Speaker 3: Percentage, so not as efficient, he's never been as accurate,

353
00:16:31,919 --> 00:16:35,679
seven touchdowns, three I in ts. He's been sacked five times,

354
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,840
but he's ran the ball extremely well seventy seven times,

355
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,000
five hundred thirteen yards six point seven yards per carry,

356
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,320
nine touchdowns.

357
00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: This season, and it's not like a week schedule.

358
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,639
Speaker 3: He's played Northwestern, Duke, Ole, Miss, Tulsa, ECU, Army, UTSA.

359
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: That's a decent schedule.

360
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,679
Speaker 3: I don't know where it ranks out amongst the G

361
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,159
six is and even amongst the P fours, but uh,

362
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:02,720
definitely a a tough schedule for a G six program.

363
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:03,399
Speaker 2: And then you have Bear.

364
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 3: You go side by side here on the season, and

365
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:12,519
Bear's at one thousand, ninety three yards three percentage points

366
00:17:12,519 --> 00:17:16,000
more or efficient at sixty two point seven eleven touchdowns,

367
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,480
so he's got more passing touchdowns, he's got equivalency, and

368
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:21,880
I in t's he's been sacked nine times, he's taken

369
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,559
actually some good sacks, and then he's ran the ball

370
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,440
ninety four times four under eight yards four point three

371
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,680
yards per carrier and then nine touchdowns. So you go

372
00:17:28,759 --> 00:17:30,960
side by side and they're actually pretty similar. But you

373
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:36,039
can make an argument that Bear has been more effective

374
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,119
and efficient than.

375
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,799
Speaker 2: Jake with equivalency.

376
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,279
Speaker 3: Or actually a better strength of schedule than Jake, And it's.

377
00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: Like wow, BYU.

378
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 3: To your point, a lot of the analysts want to

379
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,559
be right for their preseason. You can't win with a

380
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,599
true freshman, or you can't win with you lost your

381
00:17:58,599 --> 00:17:59,400
red shirt senior.

382
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 2: No chance you can win like you like you did

383
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,279
last year.

384
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,519
Speaker 3: You have to pick b YU being a seven win

385
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,000
eight win team at best.

386
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 2: Look at what they've done. You can make an argument

387
00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:11,519
that b what you.

388
00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 3: Was better off with Bear than they were with Jake,

389
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,079
even Jake coming into a senior now now the only

390
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,440
the only other thing that I would add to that

391
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,920
conversation is the supporting cast at b YU was much

392
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,039
better than the supporting.

393
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 2: Cast at two lane.

394
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:30,039
Speaker 3: I think sure wide receivers, running backs where I think

395
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:32,319
we are better at his pactet.

396
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: Jake would have been a senior and he's gone, there's

397
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,960
a freshman, you know, So I would have taken Bear,

398
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:41,279
even if the stats were a little bit lopsided towards Jake.

399
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,720
I'd still take Bear because we know what we have,

400
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,839
what we're building with as well, and that we're just

401
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,079
getting started with.

402
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:53,839
Speaker 2: Bear, Bear, Bachmeyer, t Bow and the Bear Tar.

403
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's so much, so much to play. Tibo was

404
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,119
so amazing.

405
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 2: Days of forty seven, right, days of forty seven.

406
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: The parade Utah is going to be different, right the

407
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,880
air Bear. You know, did you see on the from

408
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,440
Halloween they guy the kid that dressed up as that

409
00:19:14,519 --> 00:19:15,880
was at my son's elementary school.

410
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,319
Speaker 2: So there's a parade walk. When we were dying, I

411
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:19,440
was like, it's.

412
00:19:19,319 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 3: A kid that's dressed up in a B football uniform

413
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,640
and there's like you there's a dummy Utah football player

414
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:26,759
getting dragged behind him.

415
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, that thing went viral. That was that was hilarious.

416
00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:30,000
I saw that.

417
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: That was like, where's my phone? I gotta yeah that

418
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,240
that was super funny. But yeah, no, there there's such

419
00:19:35,279 --> 00:19:38,440
an upside to Bear. You know, they's got so much

420
00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:41,079
time left. I mean, we get a full off season

421
00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:43,720
with them next year, you know, where we can continue

422
00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:46,279
to develop and put more things in and and now

423
00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:48,839
we get a recruit with him, So that changes the

424
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,759
whole recruiting side where you get to go out and

425
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:53,960
you've got some receivers that might be on the fence

426
00:19:54,039 --> 00:19:56,599
or some receivers that are looking at other schools some

427
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,920
running backs or whatever and you're like, hey, or even

428
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,880
offensive line d The whole group now is looked at differently,

429
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,079
so when you go to recruit, but you yeah, you

430
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,480
will be playing with Bear.

431
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,079
Speaker 2: You know, you see what he's.

432
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,839
Speaker 1: Done as as a freshman with with only a couple

433
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:16,960
of months of work. So there's a lot on the

434
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,599
table now in the recruiting side to to really bolster

435
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,559
the next group coming in.

436
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 3: Any of the thoughts on your comments here or how

437
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,200
do you see this BYU Texas Tech game playing out.

438
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: It's going to be a battle. You know.

439
00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: We have to go in and you know, be a

440
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,000
dominant defensive team. And if we can do that, if

441
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,720
if if they play the way they played Kansas State

442
00:20:40,759 --> 00:20:44,400
and our defense plays how we know they can, we

443
00:20:44,759 --> 00:20:45,279
should win.

444
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:49,079
Speaker 2: But it's I think going at Texas Tech.

445
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: And and their fan base is is excited. You know

446
00:20:53,759 --> 00:20:56,920
ESPN Game Day there, it's it's it is the biggest

447
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,039
game of the day coming up this Saturday. And you've

448
00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:04,680
got people who don't watch BYU and and and probably

449
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,680
don't even follow the big twelve months and they're excited

450
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,400
to watch this game. So I expect really a real

451
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,200
physical game. And the weather's going to be perfect. It's

452
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,000
gonna be mid seventies, and yeah, we're we're ready to go.

453
00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:18,839
I'm excited to get out there. Never been to Lubbock,

454
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,799
you know, and excited to get some barbecue in me

455
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,319
and and enjoy some time in Texas. And yeah, no,

456
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,640
but I think we're gonna We're gonna farewell. We just

457
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,119
have to stay on top of the game. It's an

458
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,000
early start for us, so I'm not sure, you know,

459
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:35,400
I'm sure that the coaches are doing things to get

460
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,319
the team ready for that early start. And but the

461
00:21:38,319 --> 00:21:40,200
weather's going to be great. There shouldn't be any any

462
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,359
issues there. And keep guys healthy and let's go hit hard.
