Speaker 1: Welcome back Hucker Sports one of three nine nine eight
point three ESPN The Van I bet Prital broadcasting from
our ultimate tailgater, Vanderwelth Banterwealth dot Com. Uh, we're just
south of LaBelle Edwards Stadium. Get your prep getting you
ready for this b y U TCU matchup. It's a
big game and uh, we're also watching the BAU basketball game.
Speaker 2: The second half is just tipped off.
Speaker 1: B YU down eleven, thirty two to forty three through
the to the Yukon Huskies. B way, you finally hit
a three point shot at the end of the first half.
Speaker 2: What's the uh the the attempts?
Speaker 3: Is it like twelve?
Speaker 4: So tell them russ at the second one to cut
it to eleven. Yeah, we're playing your best three point for.
Speaker 2: The love of all that's holy man, I think they
are out there.
Speaker 1: Goodness gracious, this may be one of the worst three
point shooting teams in BAU basketball history.
Speaker 2: I hope it's not, but it may be.
Speaker 1: Uh. I do want to talk some football in this
segment despite the b A basketball game going on to
the background. Guys, once the basketball game, what you should
do is, you know, with about ten minutes remaining in
the basketball game. Come on over and watch the end
of the BOAU basketball game with us here with the
esp and the fan, and get a hot dog, get
a hot chocolate, get a swig, and come celebrate. Hopefully
the victory a nice comeback victory for the Cougars. But
as I mentioned, we're getting you prep getting ready for
this BAU TCU matchup. TCU six and three overall and
Bau's eight and one, Bou's slightly favorite three and a
half point favorite, and the over under set at fifty
one and a half. Now, look, BYU needs to win
the next three in order to get to the Big
twelve championship game. If they don't, and they become a
potentially you know, let's just say a two loss team,
and you're gonna have these these ties between two loss
teams in the Big twelve, you may not get to
the Big Toal Championship, which means you could be in
the Alliable Bowl or the Pop Tards Bowl. Okay, and
either one be fantastic. Experienced the Alimble Bowl last year
was a good payout, and h the Pop Tars Bowl
ain't too bad either. Guys, Uh b Yu and Iowa
State had a had a had a tie last year.
Iowa State ended up going to the Pop Tards Bowl
last year because the Alible Bowl wanted b Yu and
Colorado they got first DIBs, uh and and so pop
Tards will get the second dims on this.
Speaker 2: So it'll just kind of depend on.
Speaker 1: The the former Pac twelve teams that are available in
Bowl eligible and the highest rated ones and uh where
BYU's at in the in the mix as well.
Speaker 2: So to talk about the Pop Tars Bowl.
Speaker 1: Though, we've seen from time to time the scouts come
in for these bowl games and pot Tards Ball scouts
are in attendance.
Speaker 2: He I picked him off. He was getting a swig.
He got himself a whistletoe mass. Yeah, he did.
Speaker 1: Let's welcome in a scout for the Pop Tarts Bowl.
We got Jimmy Betzel here. Jimmy, how thatck are you?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 5: I'm I'm good, I'm thank you for having me on.
You know, it's a great, great day, beautiful football weather
for mid November here.
Speaker 2: I mean so yeah, I'm excited. Jimmy.
Speaker 1: This is your first time in Provo. How is your
experience being thus far? And I know you're looking forward.
Speaker 3: To the game.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's been good. I got here about an
hour ago. I just started walking around some of the
parking lots and everything, and I mean, yeah, no, it's
a It's definitely a very cool college.
Speaker 2: Town, for sure. Very cool.
Speaker 1: So tell me what scouts do for these bowl games.
You're coming in, You're gonna take in the game. Yes, Now,
both of these teams very well could be candidates for
a Pop Tarts Bowl berth. But are you looking at
one particular team?
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, we are just looking for two teams
that will create a compelling matchup for Orlando in a
national TV audience. So we have a whole program where
basically we can and send scouts to any power for matchup.
Because we have the pop Tarts Bowl, which is the
ACC Big Big twelve. That was Iowa State Miami last year.
Great game that was I was there. That was a
nuts game to take it in Orlando. And then you
have the Cheese at Citrus Bowl, which is the SEC
in Big ten so and that was South Carolina Illinois.
So yeah, so we just have we kind of send
scouts around to all these power forward games just to
take in the environment.
Speaker 2: And yeah, well I love the fact that you're here.
Speaker 1: Obviously BYU fans, they want to make it to the CFP,
that's what they want. But a nice landing spot if
you don't go to the CFP is to head out
to Orlando. And that would like if what, who are
the teams right now that are trending maybe in the
ACC that.
Speaker 2: Could also be candidates for this Bowl game? Would you say, uh,
you know, oh, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Like you said, we just keep we just keep a
good scouting profile on all these teams and then you know,
we'll make a.
Speaker 2: Decision when we make a decision.
Speaker 1: What goes into that though, Like obviously the rankings where
they're at the bowl games get their big right, and
they got they have to They get first dips, second dims.
You guys get the second dips for the Big twelve,
and then you guys get also for the ACC. Is
that kind of the first first position for the ACC
that doesn't go to the CFP.
Speaker 2: I don't know off the top of my head if. Okay,
but it's a higher up there. Yeah, I think it is.
Speaker 1: I think it may be first position for the ACC.
So you get, you know, the second best Big twelve
team versus the next best ACC team that's not in
the CFP. You look at the profile these teams, what's
the attraction to come to I guess Orlando right now?
Why would the pop Tarts Bowl be a great bowl
game for b YU if they don't get to the CFP.
Speaker 5: Well, the pop Tarts Bowl is just a great bowl.
You know, pop Tarts has treated us really well as
a spot on search since they came on the game
in a couple of years ago. I mean, there's they're
very good about fan activations and whatnot, especially when you
get there. I tell people, there's so many like cool
little things they do at the stadium in Orlando that
you're not gonna see, like when it's a TV time
album you're watching the game here. And so it's a
great I mean, the Florida weather is beautiful obviously, and
you know lesaid it's great with the activations and how
you know pop Tarts treats us for the bowl game
and yeah, it's fantastic and yeah love that.
Speaker 1: Jimmy, Jimmy, give me a score prediction, give me how
do you think this game plays out tonight under the
lights of Lavelle.
Speaker 5: B YU versus TCU. I think it's gonna be a
good game. I think it's gonna be a good game.
So I look, yeah, two very good football teams.
Speaker 2: So well, Jimmy, we appreciate you. How's that drink from Swig?
It's pretty nice. It's it's pretty nice. I've never been to.
Speaker 1: Swig before, so well, hey, we what we do best
here in Provo is cold sugary drinks. So that's how
we roll. That's our vice. So I'm caffeinated at that.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I got you.
Speaker 1: Jimmy, We appreciated thanks for joining us, thanks for let
us get to know you, and thanks for being here
to scout the bau Cougar football team.
Speaker 2: As well as TCUs. Yeah. So yeah, hopefully it's a
good fun game.
Speaker 5: And yeah, I'm excited to take in Lavelle Edwards for
my first time personally.
Speaker 2: So awesome. Man, Well, we appreciate you. That's Jimmy Benzel,
scout for the Pop Tards Bowl.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 1: I just had my guy Vic Kram pull the numbers.
Right now, BA Basketball's taking on Yukon. They are down
fifty two to thirty six with sixteen minutes remaining. I
asked the question is this going to be BYU's one
of Bwai's worst three point shooting teams in the modern
era going back to nineteen ninety seven. So the ninety
seven ninety eighteen shot thirty point four percent from the
three point line. They were a fourteen and sixteen team.
Now Boa is gonna win more games than that ninety
three ninety four they were thirty one point eight percent
from the three point line. That was the team that
was fifteen and fourteen In twenty eighteen twenty nineteen they
shot thirty three percent and they went nineteen and thirteen.
Are we going to right the ship with our three
point shooting? Ronald the three man weaver? Is this a
product of the strength of schedule thus far? Or is
this just not a good three point shooting team?
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a long season. People were counting them out.
After the Providence game. I was getting questions like, I
don't think this team is gonna make the tournament. I said,
they're five games into the season, what are you talking about?
So they have a chance to rewrite it. But what
I'm worried about is I'm watching this game. Is the
perimeter defense you if you're gonna trap and then have
lazy effort like I'm sorry, I'm gonna swear to do
as I say kids, not as I do, but lazy
ass effort like I'm watching Richie Saunders not get up
to the three point line. I'm watching Rob Wright and
I go to the court like that's occurring. Like that's
not talent or personal, that's effort. If you're not gonna
have effort, then that's gonna kill you in games, like
you have to do better. So I don't think the
three point shooting is gonna be a problem, but the
defensive perimeter right now is starting to showcase what it
was last year, and that's a big issue why they're down.
Speaker 3: It's not the only reason.
Speaker 4: You got to play better perimeter defense, ben, So I
am more concerned about them guarding the three with effort
than putting up threes.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, right now on the season, they are shooting thirty
two point four percent from the three point line, seventy
six point nine percent for the Charity Stripe, forty eight
point seven percent from the field. In general, they've been
good offensive. They put up a lot of points. Obviously
with the big three, Richie Saunders, Rob Right, the third
and aj To Bonsa. How are those three performing tonight
under the biggest lights of I guess the initial the
inception of this BYU college basketball season.
Speaker 2: How are the big three playing?
Speaker 4: Look, I mean the scouting out on aj De Bonds
is to be extremely physical, to send multiple bodies at
him when he drives down, rotate over, and they've done
a great job of collapsing. Maybe at times aj has
forced a little bit, but look, when you're on a statue,
you have to do that. Rob Wright actually hasn't played bad.
He's got nine points, some four to seven shooting. I
don't even think Richie has played necessarily bad. Ben Like,
he picked up two quick fouls, but he's also got
nine or three or six. I really think the guy
that has really stepped up big tonight in the ascent
of mood Davis.
Speaker 3: And we know why.
Speaker 4: Pert Kevin Young on the pregame with Jason Sheppard said,
ude to violating the team A rule.
Speaker 3: That's why moves out.
Speaker 4: He's there on the bench, made the trip like you said,
But it's not playing Dawson Baker. Dawson Baker's playing phenomenal.
I think tonight nine points two of three from the field,
both of those that come from the three, and he's
made all three of his free throws. So look, Dawson's
got nine points in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: He high low Boskovic got the start. He did placement
of mood Davis.
Speaker 4: He got the start at that was more of a
matchup thing, right, Yukon's long because a lot of people
like ron Wyas Dawson not starting well. Dawson is not.
He doesn't not the right matchup to start with that group.
But coming off the second group, and look, I'm gonna
be honest, Milo been two points one or seven zero
for five, Like he missed his third that got the
offensive rebound, then he air balled his for it, and
look he's a minus twelve in the court sixteen minutes.
Look he kind of got benched in a way, like
you just Mihilo's gotta play better. They brought you here
for a reason. You have not been playing well. You
have did you play well in this Yukon game? Still
sixteen minutes left to go, But you gotta correct that
like that, you have to play better. But I said
it multiple times. I said Dawson did not practice because
he was hurt. Now, what is he starting to do.
He's starting to heat up. So I love Dawson the
bucket getter. Hopefully he's able to keep a scoring because
Billy needs everything they can get.
Speaker 3: Been there down about sixteen runs.
Speaker 2: We call him a high low bucket bitch, highlight BUCKETVICH.
But he highlight BUCKETVICH.
Speaker 1: But Andrew Peterson producing our show today, do you feel
like he's looking like my Hilo bucket bitch, my highlight bucket, Vinch.
Speaker 2: What does he look like tonight?
Speaker 1: To be honest, this is not a representation of him
as an overall player, but tonight he's playing like Mahilo
bucket myths. Yeah, oh my goodness, graces yeah yea, yep, yep,
yeah yeah. Fifty five to thirty nine. Right now, the
kooks flayling a little bit. The Cook's trying to find answers.
I want a Defensively, I don't know if I'm more concerned,
quite honestly, if I'm more concerned about the defense or
the offense.
Speaker 3: The defense is what I'm more concerned about.
Speaker 2: I want to be clear, that's not my overall opinion.
It's just he's having a rough night tonight.
Speaker 3: He's having a very rough night. Ben All five is
a rough night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very rough, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: Very rough night indeed for this Cougar basketball team taking
on the Yukon Huskies. Let's get a little report coming
out of the top twenty five college football scoreboard to
Utah's up twenty eight to ten versus the Baylor Bears,
Utah's thirteenth in the country. Indiana ended up knocking off
Wisconsin in a convincing fashion thirty one to seven.
Speaker 2: Ear leaders.
Speaker 1: Today, Virginia knocked off the Duke the Duke football team
thirty four seventeen. Right now, Ole, Miss and Florida are
duking it out. It's a close one right before half,
about forty five seconds before half. Florida's actually up twenty
one to twenty. That could be a boon for byuf O.
Miss balls to a three and six Florida team in
this one.
Speaker 4: You need that one, Ben, because a reminder, Alabama did
not defeat Oklahoma, so both of those teams are gonna
be in the top ten next week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ucla losing to Ohio State by seventeen seventeen to zero.
Georgia is looking to take down the Texas Longhorns fourteen
to three. Right now, there's eleven nineteen left in the second.
In the second, Texas A and M ended up finding
a way to win after being down twenty seven points
at the half. They beat South Carolina three and seven.
The South Carolina team thirty one to thirty found a
way to win.
Speaker 2: Oklahoma number eleven.
Speaker 1: Taking on Alabama at number four, they beat them by
two as a close one by the skin of their teeth,
So that's twenty three to twenty one. Texas Tech dominated UCF,
the number six best team in the country. I think
they're a top five team now forty eight to nine.
Speaker 2: Notre Dame beat pitt thirty seven to fifteen.
Speaker 1: Miami took on NC State, beat them up pretty badly
forty one to seven. Georgia Tech barely got the win
versus Boston College.
Speaker 2: Thirty six thirty four.
Speaker 1: Usc took down Iowa twenty six to twenty one, Michigan
twenty four to twenty two, over Northwestern Tennessee beat New
Mexico State forty two to nine, and then Navy took
down South Florida forty one to thirty eight.
Speaker 2: And guess what.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati lost to the U of A Wildcats thirty to
twenty four. So that's your update there from college football
