Speaker 1: Welcome back to your sports one three nine ninety eight
point three SBO fan. I'm met from broadcast.
Speaker 2: Rum R Vanderwelt Studios Bledsoe showing up, showing out here
to our old tailgate du the Opera salth of Lavelle
Edwards Stadium at the Swig location. Stop on by, get
caf in in and up, get your your delicious beverage.
Come on by and uh and get some hot dogs
and hot chocolate from our band or wealth crew. We
appreciate all you Cougar fans of Cougar Country tuning in
and chiming in on a beautiful Saturday evening edition.
Speaker 1: Of Cougar Sports.
Speaker 3: As we prep you, I get you ready for BYU
versus TC as well as BYU Basketball versus ukon They're
about to tip off here shortly move Davis Cannard Davis
Junior did make the trip, but he will not be
playing tonight as having been cited for dy earlier this
week prior to the chartered flight to the East coast.
Speaker 1: But we hope everything turns out okay. We hope everything is,
that everything ultimately.
Speaker 3: Gets judged justly and that we can move forward with
the BYU Basketball season, a big opportunity for this men's
basketball team to prove themselves the dynamic three, the Big
three of Rob Right, the Third Agent of Bons, and
Richie Saunders. Gotta have a big night. They've been tallying
I think over seventy percent of their points respective points
on the season, and I imagine tonight will be no different.
BYU Football gonna be taken on TCU tonight. They are
a three and a half point favorite over Unders at
fifty one and a half, so not necessarily a high flying,
high scoring game what the prognosticators are predicting, but it
should be a good one. If you beat the six
and three TCU horn Frogs, you know, it keeps you,
you know, as the master of your own destiny.
Speaker 1: You can get to the Big twelve Championship.
Speaker 3: And you can take on a I believe a very
very very good Texas Tech team once again. And that's
all you want is another chance to face that team
on a neutral field. But you got to take care
of the horn Frogs, who are on a five game
winning streak versus b YU.
Speaker 1: Let's not make it six to discuss this.
Speaker 3: Let's welcome in former BYU great one of the few
the proud wide receivers that actually tallied over a thousand
yards in a season.
Speaker 1: I think there's only eleven of.
Speaker 3: Them, So pretty pristine productivity.
Speaker 1: From this young man once upon a time. Let's welcome
in Reno my height to the show. Reno. How the
heck are you?
Speaker 4: I'm doing great? How you doing Ben? Thanks for having
me on.
Speaker 3: I'm doing awesome, man. One of the things that is
a product of a double digit win season. I feel
like if we go back in history, I think we
see a couple of things. We see typically like a
really good quarterback, like a professional quarterback, be it the
CFL or eventually the NFL. We see a one thousand
yard received on the roster, and we see our one
thousand yard rusher on the roster. You were part of
a two thousand and one team that had that. You
were the receiver and Luke Staley was the Doak Walker
wold what he had like fifteen hundred yards, and you
had a pretty good quarterback in Brandon dombin NFL quarterback.
We see a little bit of that this year in
bear Bachmeyer, like he looks to be possibly an NFL
town as a true freshman. One of the best highest,
greatest high highest graded freshman in the country. You got
Chase Roberts, who's trending to be a thousand yard receiver,
and LJ. Martin a thousand yard rusher. What do you
like about this team?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I you know, it's funny how a lot of
times we start talking about the yards and the thousand
yards and this and that and the quarterbacks, and but
I think for the most part, it comes down to
the trenches. And so I think some things that gives
get missed is that those teams had nass the linemen
and then they had d linemen that made plays plays
the play needed to be made. And so I think
of those teams and I think of the trenches, and
I think of those guys. They we had a lot
of guys those years that went on to play playing
the pros, and so it spoke to the talent we had.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh like when we look at the five
game losing Street versus Tshue, we're discussing this with be Low,
it seemed like there was a talent gap. Do you
feel like that talent gap across all positions has been
leveled out? And that's why b Yu's winning at the
rate that they are right.
Speaker 4: Now, absolutely, and I think entering into the Big twelve
that's totally helped, without a doubt. And you know, you
it's funny because you always look at what the comparison
is with the NFL. You you go to your D line,
your O line, and then the corners. You know, we
it's so fun to see how awesome Coach Guildford has
done with our corners and how active they are. And
then you know this is you don't talk much about it,
but man, that linebacker course pretty special. So it's pretty
fun to see how the defense is really balling out
out there.
Speaker 3: BYU lost to Texas Tech. Uh, and it wasn't pretty.
Everyone was watching game day, was there the national media
because they were evaluating BYU's offense, So like, hey, BA
has no firepower offensively, what do you think about the offense?
Do you think they bounced back tonight? And if so,
why do you believe that?
Speaker 4: Well, if she watched the game, if you're talking about
three plays that could have really made a big difference
on the momentum of that game. You know, the way
our defense played, holding them the thirteen points and a
half with the offense not being as strong. But at
the end of the day that halftime, I believe the
time of possession was even between both teams, and so
the score didn't you know, I think the score had
to do with mostly special teams. I mean, you can
point to three teams, three things the special teams fell
short on the fumbled punt, the bad punt, and then
the missfield goal. But again, those are things that are
uncharacteristics of our special teams, and it's nice to know
you fix a few of those things that I think
the offense gives you a different light and it's a
whole different game. So I'm excited to potentially play them
again if we can take care of business these next
three games.
Speaker 3: Reno Mahe here on ESPN the Fan, Get your prep
getting ready for that b y U TCU matchup tonight
under the lights of Lavelle.
Speaker 1: Everyone hoping the Vampire Kug's show up show out.
Speaker 3: What are you most optimistic about and what are you
your biggest concern heading into a game like this TCU.
Every one of their games that they've lost this year
have been very close, competitive games.
Speaker 1: Most recently Iowash Stay.
Speaker 3: It was a three point loss So what what's what
are your most optimistic about, and what's uh maybe keep
you up at night prior to kick off.
Speaker 4: I mean one, I'm most see that I can't even
talk right now. I'm excited about the the way the
players looked after that Texas Tech game, Like the confidence
they took from that game, regardless of the score. Like
our boys know they belonged, and so they just have
to take care of business. You got to give respect
to all the different things you still have to play
in these next three weeks. But at the end of
the day, I think the boys are still full of
confidence because they've put the work in, and so I'm
super excited for what they still have left the rest
of the year.
Speaker 3: Right now, Yeah, I mean you were running back, wide receiver.
You could do you could do both and uh not
many people can say that in BYU football history, even
college football history, that ability is unique. Uh b Yu
has a really good RB one right now in l J. Martin,
we're still in discovery mode as to who can Who's
gonna be RB two. Preston Rex looks to be that
guy as he gets healthier throughout the season.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: We have heard that Logan Pain that legacy player, uh,
the son of Matt Payne, the former by punter, could
be good. We've seen Enoch Nawaheeney out there as well.
Any concerns about establishing the run versus TCU tonight with
l J. Martin still even though he's he's he's playing tonight,
He's had a few Nicks, Deans bruises, upper extremity injuries
this season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a nice thing about getting to just
be a fan and like what I would like to see.
But at the end of the day, I trust what
a Rod and them are doing. And I think our
potential second best, you know, such that we don't have,
but our second best might be our quarterback. I'd love
to see the good old, the old days with going
empty and then when he needs to run, man, let
that big boy number forty seven run the rock.
Speaker 3: Hey, he struggled versus Texas Tech, but TCUs defensive front
not nearly as good, not nearly as talent as that
Tech defensive front.
Speaker 4: Man that text defense is. I think they could beat
the Jets of the Cleveland Browns that was. That was
a great team. So I'm looking forward to playing them again.
But no again. Injuries is all part of it, and
Aron and then will adjust and you know, at the
end of the day, he's just whoever his number gets called.
You got to go make place.
Speaker 1: Injury report.
Speaker 5: B YU.
Speaker 3: These are the guys that are out this game. Cody Hagen,
wide receiver. He's also your kickoff return specialists.
Speaker 1: He's out.
Speaker 3: Toddy Prasher's safety, Nickel he's out, Matthias Leech he's a safety.
He's played mostly I think special teams out. And then
Marcus McKenzie cornerback. Overall, BYU's pretty healthy, are you? Are
you pretty satisfied with the healthy this BYU football team
all things considered this late in the season.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think they've done. You know, you start getting
some of that Big twelve funding and you're able to
take care of you know, they're doing some special stuff
with the weight room and the trainers and it's it's
pretty cool to all the different things they're implementing there.
So I mean, you got to tip your hat to
how hard those boys are working in the offseason and
getting their bodies right.
Speaker 1: Reno mahe former BYU.
Speaker 3: Great talking some BYU Cougar football here as we prep
you for the BYU TCU matchup. Do you feel like,
I mean, BYU has TCU at home since he on
the road, and then UCF at home. If BYU wins
out and they make it to the World Championship game, okay, stay,
we're out. Stay We're out real quick, and and and
they and they lose again to Texas Teck. Do you
think b YU gets an at large bid see the
College Football Playoff with two losses to Texas Tech, and
I think tex Tech will be a top five team
at that time for the College Football Playoff Committee.
Speaker 1: Give me your thoughts on that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I I could see it, but I that bias
up there is so wild man, But I could see it.
I could see them as long as they keep it competitive.
You know, it's it's tough when you're well again. You've
got to win these next three games convincingly. You've got
to get up there. But I think they're in a
good position win or lose the that the conference championship game.
I think they have to have a good chance at it.
They just got to just continue to win these next
three and be competitive. Live in that last game.
Speaker 3: Rino, did you ever play against TCU. If so, what
do you remember about that game.
Speaker 4: I did not I did not play against TCU.
Speaker 1: Okay, so never got the chance to take on the
horn Frogs.
Speaker 3: I know you you've probably watched every single b YU
football game and the last five, like five in a row.
Speaker 1: That's a crazy winning streak.
Speaker 3: It's not a b YU Utah modern era winning streak
by any means, but it's been pretty dominant over the
last decade plus. What do you do you think has
changed that gives b YU a great opportunity to win tonight?
Speaker 4: I think but they've always had a great coaching staff
out there at TCU, but that that speed that they're
able to pick up players at CCU, that speed, that's
it's hard to you know, to match up. But the
nice thing is being in the Big twelve now we
we're able to get that speed, especially at that corner position.
So it's it's nice to see that because of that,
we'll be able to compete with the TCU and with
that speed.
Speaker 3: Reno, my hey, ladies, and gentleal Renal, give me a
score prediction, bo He's a three and a half point
favorite at home tonight under the lights of Level We
hope the Vampire Kugs show up, show out because when
they do, they do well. The twelfth Man hopefully is
rising and shouting and disrupting communication between Hoover and whose
offensive line.
Speaker 1: How do you see this game play? Now, give me
a score prediction.
Speaker 4: I ain't going to go thirty one twenty one by
U ten.
Speaker 1: Point victory for the Cougs.
Speaker 3: I think that would be a fantastic bounce back at
home versus a high powered offense limiting them to twenty
one points. I'd love that, and I think that would
actually be in an important step in the right direction
from a public relations standpoint.
Speaker 1: It is on the Mothership.
Speaker 3: It's a late night kick, so not everyone's going to
be watching it, but everyone's gonna look at the scoreboard.
A two score win over a six and three TCU
team could bode well for BYU. Reno, always appreciate our time.
Always love talking ball with you. Enjoy the evening. Are
you gonna be heading out to the game. You're gonna
be watching it from home tonight?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Stay conference right now. So I'm at the leadership
meeting right now. I just stepped out in love it all.
Speaker 1: Right, get back to your meetings, man.
Speaker 3: I always appreciate you hopping all with us, even when
you have previous obligations, church obligations.
Speaker 1: You're attending to much love to you, brother, all right, brother,
thanks for having me. There you go. That's Reno.
Speaker 3: Ma Hey b Yu basketball. By the way, his tipped off.
They're up three to zero.
Speaker 1: Two minutes in.
Speaker 6: He just drawn two thousand like the first two minutes,
just so everybody else a j. He's in downhill mode easy,
he's not selling for shots.
Speaker 5: He's in front of his home crowd in Boston.
Speaker 6: He's picked up two thousand on two point guards like
and and we had a guy on the show yesterday.
Speaker 5: We had the voice of the Huskies, Mike, Uh what
is it? Forgot his last name?
Speaker 4: Uh? What is it?
Speaker 5: Christiano?
Speaker 6: He said, don't put them at the throw line, and
they've already put aging out at the free throw line twice.
Now EDJS is his second miss. He's got to get it.
But that's something you're gonna have to work on. They
give you free shots, but look, you get in foul
troub of a Yukon, that's not gonna help your death.
They'd like to go nine to ten deep Ben, So
we'll see right now. B A up three zero, Mike, Chrispino.
By the ways, Yeah, AJ's got hit from the charity stripe.
He's gonna get fouled all night. He's the ram all night. Then,
especially if you're not gonna settle for jumpers and you're
gonna get foul bin and go there, you gotta make them.
Speaker 1: Yep, no doubt about it, dude.
Speaker 3: They're picking up full court and and I mean they're
running a one to three one right now, full court press.
Speaker 5: They just called a foul on Richie Soniz.
Speaker 6: I don't know if I give him that, Like, I
think Yukon's gonna have the advantage in us with that.
But like when you're throwing the ball into the back
court like that, like, I don't know. I don't think
you can call a foul.
Speaker 1: Real quick.
Speaker 3: As we kind of wrap up this segment, I want
to bring in Jared bledshow form a BA wide receiver
real quick, and then we'll welcome in Johnny Harlean. I
want to get a little a couple of thoughts from
Jared Bledshoe. Check out this stat Johnny Harlen also coming
up here shortly in the next ten minutes or so.
Speaker 1: We'll welcome in him in momentarily long term consistency.
Speaker 3: Modern era consistency between BYU football and TCU football compare contrast.
From two thousand to twenty twenty five. BYU has nineteen
winning seasons, ten seasons with ten plus wins and a
bull record of eleven and fourteen. Just even keel, steady
Eddy always win in football games. TCU twenty winning seasons,
twelve seasons with ten plus wins, a bull record of
eleven and eight, So a little bit higher ceiling. They
have been able to get over the hump where By
was not. They got the invite to the Big twelve
when BA did not. Utah got the invite to the
Pac twelve when by You did not. Now was that
fair all things considered historically speaking, not only in the
modern erabody, in the prior twenty years from nineteen eighty
to two thousand, No, it wasn't fair. But by you
got the stiff farm. Now's the time to change the tide.
Now's the time to flip the script. BYU should be
in the driver's seat. BYU has competitive nil, BYU has
is resource rich. BYU is now P four affiliated. They
can recruit better athletes, they can invest in their infrastructure.
Speaker 1: They can invest in their coaching and.
Speaker 3: Support staff personnel, and BYU no longer is experiencing a
talent gap. There's a five game winning streak going into
this game for TCU.
Speaker 1: It will not and it shan't be six.
Speaker 3: Jared Blechel, former by wide receiver, tell me why it
shan't be six.
Speaker 7: I think the team's ready. I think we learned a
lot from last year having gone through this exact same scenario,
and I know the coaching staff learned a lot, and
there's a lot of motivation. I think we need to
we need we need to earn some more national respect,
and I think the players know that.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's all about winning games.
Speaker 7: But now what a day in college football.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 7: I enjoyed to kind of kick back at home and
watch some games and what a day. But it's it's
time to show out and really put together a full
game where where we just we gel on offense, our
defense continues to make stands, and we need to break
out something in the in the special teams, and I
think we're just.
Speaker 1: Brewing for it. You know what what makes you believe?
Speaker 3: Like So for me, biggest question mark is this can
BYU's offense create its own momentum in this game. You're
at home, playing on the lights. It's fifty nine degrees.
It's perfect fall football weather. It's not cold, it's not
too hot. It's literally perfect. You have the competitive advantage
with sixty two thousand fans rising and shouting, Okay, everyone's
gonna be quiet when you're on the field. You're on
your natural grass which you're familiar with, with your cleats
that you know are gonna be a little bit more
surefooted on this home field.
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know if you can.
Speaker 3: Say in this season that boy's offense has been the
catalyst to the momentum shifts in any one of the games.
Speaker 1: No, they haven't.
Speaker 5: They haven't.
Speaker 7: And I agree, and I say all the time, momentum
in these games is everything. And Texas Tech last week,
there were a few times where we started to feel
like the defense has given us the beginning of a momentum,
and then the offense would let down and we wouldn't
get that momentum.
Speaker 5: And I mean you look at you look at the
game today, Uh with I can't even think of it
right now.
Speaker 1: That was thirty to zero or thirty thirty, Yeah, thirty
to three Texas A and M.
Speaker 7: Yeah, momentum shift from half one to half to it
was insane, you know, But that amount of momentum B
why you need to momentum we need and and as
I said before, when when a rod gets in rhythm,
it's not on play two or play three, it's four, five, six,
and seven, and we need that momentum moving forward.
Speaker 5: So I have a question for you. Then, Yeah, should
they take the ball?
Speaker 6: They're not gonna do this, but I'm just you know,
I like to think that should they take the ball
and go down start the offense there four or five plays,
go to Hollis and air it out and like get
get them in rhythm because it always seems to be
okay and it makes sense right at home. Let your
defense get it. But they've been they've had the slow starts.
Colony can't say.
Speaker 5: That they have they have, So should they do that?
Speaker 7: So that's a great question, and I think there could
be some advantage to that. But I understand why we
defer one hundred. Understand what I mean to try to
capitalize on that middle eight.
Speaker 5: Is absolutely that's why you're doing it yet, But it would.
Speaker 7: Be amazing if we were to get the ball first
and have our offense put a drive together or or
did get one of those quick hitters, you know, and
get down the field and score quick. Get the momentum,
whether we get it through our offense or get it
through our defense. We need to have a majority of
momentum in this game in order to really show that
we are a dominant force in the nation.
Speaker 1: Would love to see it.
Speaker 3: And yeah, to Ronnie's point, you wonder, at what point
do you want to hand the baton to the offense
and say, look, go out and score first, and go
out and get us a lead, go out and get
create momentum right off the bat with your script.
Speaker 7: It'd be great. But I think we know our we
kind of know our place with our team, and I
think the coaches know that the opportunity to get a
big three and out to start the game is likely,
you know, not to say that the offense can't go score,
but if we're trying to gain momentum at the beginning
of the game, our defense will more than likely give
us that opportunity. And but this is a great TCU team.
These guys could throw the ball, you know, and now
we've got a secondary that Ken lock down uh and
plays really well, hits real hard. But and generally when
our secondary is in sync, we get sacks because you know,
Jack Kelly and Isaiah Glasyer just find a way to
get to the quarterback. Uh, when when our dbs are
locking everybody down. So there's it's an exciting game. I'm
really excited for this one. It's been a great day
of college football. And you know, let's let's see what
we do off of this loss last week. And I
feel like this team is mature enough and we have
enough athletes and the coaches learned what they needed to
learn last year from this same situation where where things
will be different.
Speaker 3: Injury report, Cody Hagen is out, Tommy prash hushes out, Uh,
you know, and he's been out for a while now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a red shirt.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Per J Hilly, I think you said this week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Matthias Leech, Marcus McKenzie overall pretty healthy. Mcpercells back
this week as well. It looks like big well. And
what's interesting about this is is Justin Kirkland is not
listed here, but he's not on the depth.
Speaker 7: Charge well, because so they were saying this past week
that it looks like they're gonna redshirt him.
Speaker 5: He's one of those guys.
Speaker 1: But he's not out. He's not out, he's available, available.
Speaker 5: I think he's got one more game.
Speaker 1: So what that tells me? Let me tell you, this
is what he tells me.
Speaker 3: Sure, he may not be in in the best shape
in order to make the best impact. And they're like, Okay,
well we need a developmental year because other guys within
the two d are playing better than Yeah.
Speaker 7: Well, and I think too that he with his injury
at the beginning of the season. Yeah, kind of throw
the beginning of the year off. The guy's a beast,
you know, and he's he's going to be a great player.
But yeah, we we have some really good d linemen
that have really stepped up this year. And uh so,
I think that's more of a business, long term decision,
and I think it's a good one probably for him too,
so he can put a full year together being fully healthy.
But yeah, that's a that's that's a good point.
Speaker 3: You could be seeing number seventy two and number ninety
nine a little bit more of this game too. Kalfusi
Kofe the Weaver states transfer and then Ulavai Fittulli six
seventy five pounds freshmen that could be seeing some reps
as well.
Speaker 1: On that into your defensive line.
Speaker 3: So see young bucks maybe getting some reps because Anissi
has been kind of he's due to his injury, he's
probably been limited. Sure, So these are the guys that
have been getting those second games, the the guys that.
Speaker 7: Still have four games left to continue their entert you know,
because they haven't played much.
Speaker 4: And so.
Speaker 7: Gosh, I look back to our years at what a
cool concept, you know, covers it was one play in
and yeah, the petition to get your year back, you know,
and it was a mess. And so it's a pretty
cool thing that the NCAA is doing some good things
with that. But yeah, it'll be it'll be good to
see some of these fresh guys. But we just got
to get up. We gotta get up and then we
can get some of these guys in for their four
games and give them some real game time, you know,
provo night atmosphere experience, because you know, you get you
could get a half a quarter in as a freshman,
and you're you're gaining just a ton of experience out
there last.
Speaker 3: Week versus Texas Tech. The special teams unit was bad.
They need to be much better tonight. The offense was bad.
They need to be much better tonight. Who's your WY
factor from a personnel standpoint, offensively, defensively and shoot even
special teams wise. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean,
Because like LJ had ten carries last week, Like I'm
looking at LJ.
Speaker 5: I'm like, look, we.
Speaker 3: Need LJ to be healthy, strong, fleet of foot, fast
and physical, like they need him to be LJ RB
one one thousand yard running back LJ and run with
some ferocity and physicality and and and and and and
also be a three down back like yeah, be on
the field pass pro and catch the ball to backfield
when dumped down and make a guy miss an open field, Like,
we need twenty plus touches from LJ, whether it's run
or a combination of and pass situations.
Speaker 7: So I think for for the on the offensive side,
Chase for Roberts, we we need Chase to be chased
make the plays. I was saying last week that diving play,
you know, hit him, hit him in the hands. Tough
catch he.
Speaker 3: Had, but if you if you count ball on the hands,
and it's kind of gripped for a moment.
Speaker 1: He dropped three. Yeah, tough, big, tough catch.
Speaker 7: Big players need to make big plays in big games,
and that was what I'm so I expect him to
come out that. That's if Chase has a big game
to night over one hundred yards gets a touchdown, we're
in good shape. My defensive wife actors raider DEMONI really
and the reason is that the way that this offense
throws the ball, so you've got your corners are gonna
lock down. I think where we're vulnerable and where we
showed vulnerability last week was across the middle, the short
across the middle plays where we kind of got picked off.
So I think, and you could also call it fall
of Towe to also be in that wife factor, but
I think Raider be in the back. Raider phils holes fast,
he hits hard, but we're going to have to defend
the pass really well. And then you know, I want
to call Parker Kingston from my wife actor on on.
I want him to make a play. Did He's such
a good player, he's such a good special teams player.
I wish people understood what it's like to stare up
at a ball, white white eleven guys are coming to
take your head off with the wind with all the
different spins that punters put on the ball now like
a champions. But I want to see him do it again,
you know, because he has it in him and and
I want him to see some personal redemption, uh in
that game, so that those would be my three going
to do the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like those wife factors.
Speaker 3: Give me a score prediction and uh, then we'll let
you roam around and do your pregame ritual.
Speaker 1: I know you got your pregame ritual. My son Ryder
here with something I wanted to play in that big game.
Speaker 4: He did quarter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, such a good one.
Speaker 7: So we're yeah, we're actually going to the game today
with I'll give.
Speaker 3: You a little baseline, so three and a half point
favorite over under fifty one and a half BYU's five
and seven.
Speaker 1: Overall against TCU.
Speaker 3: Historically by AU TCU now in the Big Twelve together
have been conference foe before in other leagues. As everybody
kind of knows, Sunny Dikes and b AU TCU head
coach Sunny Diykes is familiar obviously with bau's football program.
They had that twenty twenty twenty three matchup in the
Big twelve and then Christian Stewart and the Bau Cougars
ended up out dueling Jared Goff of the cal Bears
at the time in twenty fourteen shootout forty two to
thirty five. So he's well familiar with BYU. It's brand
BAU competing as a ranked team. Check this out BYU
is all time. So when they're in the top twenty five,
they're thirty four and ten under coach Kalani Satake thirty
four and ten when playing as a ranked team, So
hopefully they they went out tonight.
Speaker 7: Yeah, No, I'm looking at a like a thirty one
twenty one BYU win. But my expectation is that we
get momentum and we score more points than that. And
I just think that they're gonna score. They have a
potent offense, but we I just feel like our momentum
on offense is gonna start clicking. We're gonna be able
to put together some drives and being at home always helps.
Speaker 3: Do you think this is going to be a sold
out crowding buy that. I know that it's a sold
out crowd. Yeah, but you think we fill the seats tonight, like.
Speaker 5: This is the most this is November and it's almost
sixty degrees right now, Like this should.
Speaker 1: Be a full sellout, right, yes, yes, okay, but will
we fill the seats? I don't know, man, Like it's
a good question. I'm wondering if people are showing up tonight.
Speaker 6: Well, I can tell you this right now. I'll talk
about the basketball game. It's playing right now Laville Edwards
st and people are Washington. So I feel like their
marketing and trying to promote everything to people.
Speaker 5: That's crazy to me.
Speaker 7: We're the twelfth ranked team in the nation. Be here
support your team. Like there shouldn't even be any drawbacks.
Speaker 6: But Alabama lost. They didn't beat Oklahoma to to knock
them out.
Speaker 7: I get it.
Speaker 5: We have to show out tonight.
Speaker 7: Come support one of the best teams in college football
and in the most beautiful atmospheres on a night that
you don't get in November. You know, most of us
thought it was gonna be in the thirties tonight, you know,
so beautiful night. Come support your team. You know we're here,
We're excited. This is gonna be a fun one. I'm
glad to be here, and yeah, I'm ready to win.
Speaker 3: Do they show up at l e s tonight or
they stay within the walls and their home, the comforts
of their home, warm and toasty.
Speaker 1: It's not even cold out tonight. I mean it's gonna
be what I mean, it's right now, it's gonna be
one degree.
Speaker 7: It's gonna be fifty by the time, maybe forty nine
when the game ends.
Speaker 1: Maybe right like, I mean.
Speaker 3: That's that's a beautifully evening of college football right there.
Speaker 1: You gotta be.
Speaker 5: I mean, look, it's still early.
Speaker 6: I know we're thinking about it, but right now, it's
only five thirty p amounts of standard time. The game
is kicking off at a fifteen, So we've been here
for an hour and a half now. So look, it
starts to ramp up at about an hour and a
half before kickoff. Look, oh yeah, fans do so right now,
I'm not worried. I think does show up. I think
people watching the basketball gain.
Speaker 7: Get the world the Texas Tech I'll tell you that
that that was an all time tailgated festival. It was crazy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I bet anyways, get packed.
Speaker 6: The seats still be and I think right now people
are watching by U yukon basketball. I think that's the focus,
bull loook. The game's not gonna go more than two
two and a half hours. You'll be back. You'll be
here by kickoff a fifteen. I'm not worried.
Speaker 5: I think they fill the seats. No questions.
Speaker 6: Do you get tow dubs tonight? Do you get a
basketball dub and a football dub?
Speaker 1: Give us an up date real quick before we go
to break Bou basketball?
Speaker 6: Yeah, bo basketball down right now out eight to twelve
turnover by b Au basketball and Yukon has the ball
going back down on the court right now, look right
now out from what I'm seeing everything, Uh, you're not
finding easy shots. Rob right and A J debonds As
seemed to be the only ones to get into the paint.
Yukon is forcing other guys to beat you. And look,
look if Rob Wright is drawing three bending kicking and
as drawn two and getting and by the way, a
J getting to the rim over three people, My goodness,
does he really look like a pro. And the projected
number one pick you gotta you gotta hit shots, Ben,
they're er five already from three. That can't happen against Yukon.
I said it earlier in the week I've been saying
it all season. If you're gonna draw that and kick it,
you gotta hit it. Hey you got, but you got,
you got the tatter tak king Richie Saunders. But I mean,
and look Richie right now is Richie has picked up
a couple of foults. That's been the problem. He put
him some of the bad situation trying to get the
ball at half court on a press and end up
picking up a foul and then got another one. So
that's that's killing you right now. But look, I think
you have to say this, Ben, the Canard Davis Junior
being out is playing a factor that's hard, and that's
a starter guy that you need and you don't have that.
