A nice dub over the Cincinnati Bearcats? 45 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:49,920 Was it everything you hoped for? 46 00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:50,359 Speaker 2: And more? 47 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,599 Speaker 4: Oh? Man, it was a lot of fun to watch. 48 00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:59,040 I was blown away by the power running of LJ. 49 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,400 Martin Know. It was incredible how many tackles he was 50 00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:08,719 able to to really, I mean guys, think guys were 51 00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:11,360 coming in full speed at him and he was shucking 52 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,599 those guys off, and you know, it was it was 53 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,199 super fun to watch, and it had that Tyler al 54 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,520 gierfield to it, and it's it's just been nice this 55 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,199 season to be able to rely on different people in 56 00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:28,000 different times and just just to get the full feel 57 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,919 of a real dynamic BYU football team. 58 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. 59 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: It was impressive to watch. The defense was phenomenal. The 60 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,879 run game from LJ was fantastic. The biggest concern I 61 00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:42,599 have coming out of the Cincinnati game was just the 62 00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:46,159 overall health of the offense. Chase went out the hamstring, 63 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,680 LJ was a little bit digged up on that final drive, 64 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,520 Bear took a shot that was throwing shoulder. Way Lin's 65 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,159 out at left guard hopefully. I don't know if he's 66 00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,000 going to be back for the UCF game, or even 67 00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:02,280 the bowl game, or hopefully the Big twelve championship game. 68 00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:05,280 So yeah, that's my biggest concern. Do you have any 69 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,840 concerns coming out of this the Cincinnati win. 70 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I would agree with that. We definitely have 71 00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:16,840 to be healthy. I hope that this week has given 72 00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:20,479 some guys the opportunity to get strong and get healthy again. 73 00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:24,080 You know. The passing games a little bit of a 74 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,960 struggle for me. I feel like there's been a number 75 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,800 of times in the last couple of games where Bears 76 00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:33,360 kind of forced some pass plays that could very easily 77 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:39,719 turn into picks or game changing type momentum shifting plays, 78 00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:43,879 So there's some concern there. I've had some concerns over 79 00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:47,080 the last couple of weeks with although our defense played great, 80 00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:50,960 we seem to be real vulnerable across the middle. I 81 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,080 don't know if you're noticing that a little bit. I 82 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,599 did see that some differences in the second half where 83 00:03:56,599 --> 00:03:59,680 we really sat that middle linebacker back in the middle, 84 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:02,199 and I think maybe that's a little bit more of 85 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,800 our when we're playing a little less man and going 86 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,680 a little more zone, that they're finding the holes in 87 00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:11,000 there and that What are your thoughts on that, Ben I, 88 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,560 As a defensive back, what are you seeing where most 89 00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:19,800 of our our defensive passing issues tend to be across 90 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:20,240 the middle. 91 00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 92 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,759 Speaker 3: So so it depends on what your base coverage is. Right, 93 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:26,120 if you're your too high safety or you're going single 94 00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:29,399 high safety with man, you're. 95 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,199 Speaker 4: Mostly too high safeties. 96 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, so if you're not, if you're not running like 97 00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:39,079 a Tampa two. So Tampa two is where you drop 98 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,519 that middle linebacker into kind of a free safety spot 99 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,560 where he's he becomes some somewhat of a robber, right. 100 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,639 Tampa two is a great coverage to to combat your 101 00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:53,439 too high safety base stuff. 102 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,519 Speaker 2: And that's what we do a lot. 103 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,959 Speaker 3: We do a lot of too high safety and then 104 00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:58,319 we'll roll down and we'll be in man free. 105 00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:00,319 Speaker 2: That's what I see all that time. 106 00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:02,439 Speaker 3: Every one's while you're throwing a little Cover three as well. 107 00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:06,560 But all of those coverages, uh, they they kind of 108 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:09,800 if you don't have a really long middle linebacker that 109 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,560 likes to get depth, Yeah, there's gonna be digs. You're 110 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,079 gonna have, you know, skinnies, you're gonna have uh, kind 111 00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:18,959 of those over routes as well that are maybe play 112 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,680 action rollouts, and you're gonna have the the climb. 113 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 4: Route cross Yeah. 114 00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, those aren't easy throws to make over the tackle box. 115 00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:32,279 But realize also we faced. I pulled up the QBR 116 00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:36,160 rankings and the quarterback efficiency ratings and Pro Football Focus ratings. 117 00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:39,639 Buy us faced some really good quarterbacks this year. I 118 00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:46,560 mean Baron Morton good quarterback, Brendon Sorosby also very good quarterback, 119 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,839 Hoover good quarterback, Nova Fee's a good quarterback, rock Aback 120 00:05:49,879 --> 00:05:51,920 good quarterback. Like all these guys are in the top 121 00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:54,079 like most of them are in the top forty in 122 00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:58,600 college football from an efficiency standpoint, from a productivity standpoint. 123 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,279 So I think all of those things considered, b Yu's 124 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,920 done really well against these quarterbacks, in fact, limiting them 125 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,600 to to maybe some of their worst outputs all season long. 126 00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 4: Sure well, and I see we tend to get coverage 127 00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:23,439 sacks weekend and week out, you know where where there's 128 00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:27,160 there's just nowhere to go with the football, and which 129 00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:29,319 is a lot of fun to watch it. Yeah. No, 130 00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:32,959 I'm all overall, I'm super happy with with the output 131 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,720 of the team over and looking forward to this week, 132 00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:39,120 I think you're you're on the right path absolutely with 133 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,519 this Team's that you see, I'm gonna they're gonna come 134 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,480 in ready to play. You know, it's this is their 135 00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:47,920 only opportunity to make a bowl game. I still think 136 00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:53,160 that we uh, we should, we should really get ahead quickly, 137 00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:56,639 get out strong, get the momentum. And if we do that, 138 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,079 we're gonna be able to rest some of our players 139 00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:01,639 that may need some rep and I think that's an 140 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,920 important thing. Did you ever find out anything about Chase 141 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,079 Roberts what his injury was? 142 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,399 Speaker 2: His static hamstring, soft time string? 143 00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:10,839 Speaker 4: Okay, you know those are no fun. Those are those 144 00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:12,839 are the lingering things that you just can't get rid 145 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:15,319 of sometimes. So hopefully he gets all the treatment he 146 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,319 needs this week and gets back into rotation. 147 00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:22,279 Speaker 3: We get Jared bled So form BA wide Receiver talks 148 00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:25,879 some college football in this segment. B Yu is eleventh. 149 00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:27,800 I believe in the eight people. Do you think they 150 00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:30,040 stay at eleventh in the college football playoff poll? 151 00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't think there's any movement there. 152 00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:37,399 There's nobody lost in front, nobody put out an effort 153 00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:42,639 that would make that group change. In my opinion, you know, 154 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,399 I think that that this week's going to be really 155 00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:49,399 important to say we need a loss somewhere up in there, 156 00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:51,600 in my opinion, in order for them to make some movement, 157 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,480 because nobody loses. It's really hard for them to justify 158 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,879 moving somebody ahead week in and week out unless it's 159 00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:02,160 a I don't know how you could call it a 160 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,920 bad win. I don't I don't quite understand these good 161 00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:08,000 losses and bad wins that how they determine these things, 162 00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:11,920 you know, But it's it's important for us to be 163 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:17,160 in the top ten, and you know, it's really hard 164 00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:19,759 to know where their heads are at on each week 165 00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:24,319 and where they're going to place their emphasis, especially going 166 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,800 into you know, we we had heard before that that 167 00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:31,160 the conference championship games would not affect things, but they're 168 00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:34,360 now saying that they may take that into consideration. Each 169 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,519 game affects everything, So who knows? Who knows where we're 170 00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:40,240 going to be at. I feel like when you look 171 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,080 at the metrics that a lot of the and and 172 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,480 a lot of the polls that other people are putting out, 173 00:08:44,879 --> 00:08:47,519 you know, byus between eight and ten, and most of 174 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,919 the polls, and but yeah, it what it comes down 175 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,159 to is what these guys decide tonight and and where 176 00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:58,720 they're going to end up. And it's as much as 177 00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:01,200 I love the twelve playoffs, there's a lot of frustration 178 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,159 in how certain teams tend to get just that flagship 179 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,720 opportunity kind of before b y U. But but we'll see. 180 00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:12,559 You know, we just got to keep winning, that's it. 181 00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:14,559 And if we do that, I think that you know, 182 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,399 I had some conversations with Aaron Roderick this week and 183 00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:19,440 and uh you know, I'm not to jump ahead, but 184 00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:23,799 I already bought my ticket to Arlington, so I'm ready 185 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,679 to go. Uh So, yeah, that was it was one 186 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,080 of those things. We're about halfway through the Cincinnati game. 187 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,840 My brother text me, are we are we buying our 188 00:09:30,879 --> 00:09:33,320 tickets yet? What are we doing to do? And so 189 00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:35,919 we we ended up getting our tickets and and uh 190 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,320 so we've got our flight set. But going into that game, 191 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,039 there's some interesting dynamics that that I don't I don't 192 00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:45,919 think we're talking about as much that that Aaron shared 193 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,799 with me that I'm gonna keep it, keep it under 194 00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:51,360 wraps because I think it's some important stuff going into 195 00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:53,039 the game and the game plan that will go against 196 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,399 Texas Tech. But but there's definitely some things that were 197 00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:59,279 going on in that stadium that affected the offensive plays 198 00:09:59,639 --> 00:10:03,600 and the production that being in a neutral site, we 199 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,919 won't have those same issues. So although that they are 200 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,799 the straight from Aaron Rodgerck, he said, man, you think 201 00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:14,080 about it, that b line makes almost as much money 202 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,559 as the entire b YU football team in n I 203 00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:19,360 L And and he said, they are very very good. 204 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,840 Wo But I think there's some opportunities there that that 205 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,320 that the offense has has learned, and then being in 206 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,240 a neutral site is going to be a real positive 207 00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:32,120 for us. But yeah, we've got to finish out this season. 208 00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:34,879 We've got to be UCF this Saturday. It's going to 209 00:10:34,919 --> 00:10:37,720 be cold, it's going to be a morning game. You know, 210 00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:41,039 there's a lot a lot of fun, different atmosphere that 211 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,559 goes into that game. But I think we come out 212 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,480 on top and and we show show out real well, 213 00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:50,120 and you know, I just I'm excited for what BYU 214 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:53,399 football is doing year in and year out. Kalani Sataki is 215 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,639 definitely should be up for Coach of the Year. When 216 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,559 you have you know, and the whole staff. Really it's 217 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,360 not just it's all the coordinators and and all the 218 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,799 position coaches, the analysts and everybody that's involved. Dave George 219 00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:09,200 as the UH as the general manager, everybody's done a 220 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,600 phenomenal job. With the team and to be able to 221 00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:17,080 be sitting at a potential after this weekend at eleven 222 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,639 and one and going into our first conference championship game. 223 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,519 You know what an exciting opetamity we we You know 224 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,279 when I played, we had that that we played in 225 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,240 the in the WAX championship game. Back then we had 226 00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:32,559 we were split into two divisions and we had that 227 00:11:32,639 --> 00:11:36,039 championship game. UH played in Vegas, and it's a it's 228 00:11:36,039 --> 00:11:39,200 a great atmosphere. It's going to be super exciting, and 229 00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:43,600 we we've we've definitely come further than I think a 230 00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:46,639 lot of people expected us in a in a just 231 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:48,519 in great fashion. In my opinion, you're. 232 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: Good friends with a Rod. Uh? 233 00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 4: What is it? 234 00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:53,279 Speaker 3: What is it about a Rod that that the cougarnation 235 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,000 those that are the haters are missing uh with his 236 00:11:56,159 --> 00:12:02,039 play calling, his structure, his uh utilization of personnel. Right now, 237 00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:06,320 ESPNSP Plus has BYU is a top twenty five team offensively, 238 00:12:06,919 --> 00:12:11,240 and so this is an efficiency metric that takes into 239 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,000 account strength of scheduled et cetera. So what are they 240 00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:15,960 missing about a Rod as a play card? Those that 241 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:16,759 are hate this? 242 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, this dude is all in all in. I mean, 243 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:27,919 he lives, sleeps. When he sleeps, you know, breathe, and 244 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,840 that's not even that's not even exaggeration, you know. Yeah, yeah, 245 00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:35,440 you know he is one hund focused on this and 246 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,360 I don't you know, being able to take a true 247 00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:42,440 freshman that you had such little time with and and 248 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,399 then producing the season that we've produced with that is huge. 249 00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:50,799 He has. He he had one difficult game this year 250 00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:52,679 in calling plays and that was Texas Tech. 251 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: And and as you mentioned, as you mentioned that there's 252 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,000 some defensive line makes more money than BYU's entire defense 253 00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:02,200 or the entire team. 254 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll talk later to more about kind of that, 255 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,720 you know, metrics of some of the things that were 256 00:13:08,759 --> 00:13:11,080 going on in that stadium that affected a lot of 257 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,960 what was going on with play calling and stuff. But 258 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,519 there's so much more that goes to and that I mean, 259 00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:18,960 I try to stay out of the comments on different things, 260 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,559 and you know, but it's like figure needs to be fired. 261 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,320 After the Texas Tech game, It's like, do you guys 262 00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:27,360 understand what he's doing and what he's putting in to 263 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,799 get this team where it's at to be ten and 264 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,120 one right now? Takes so much work and so much effort. 265 00:13:34,159 --> 00:13:36,440 His play calling I think has been on point. He 266 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,080 does need to get on a role as as he 267 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,639 gets on a roll and starts calling plays, play after 268 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,639 play gets better and better, so when we three and 269 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,320 out it that is where it affects I think his 270 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,279 play calling. He needs to get into the fourth, fifth, sixth, 271 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,080 seventh play of the drive where he really starts getting 272 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,480 on a roll and getting things moving. But to be 273 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,799 able to bring in bear Bachbuyer and the group that 274 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,559 we have now and being able to produce the offense 275 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,480 that we have and the wins. That's what it comes 276 00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:09,080 down to is we're winning games. We are winning games 277 00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:11,799 with our defense, but we are also winning games with 278 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,960 our offense because if we didn't score, we wouldn't win, 279 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,399 you know. And so I've been super happy with what 280 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,120 he's doing. And on the back end, man, I'm proud 281 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,360 of the coordinators, I'm proud of the coaching staff, and 282 00:14:25,399 --> 00:14:28,080 I'm super proud of the players for buying into everything 283 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,000 that they're doing this year. 284 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 3: Jared Ledso you top protective films, you top protective films?

And moving forward. 310 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, so one last thing before Leo's goo, BYU is 311 00:15:52,759 --> 00:15:55,879 going to beat UCF. You've already booked the tickets. I 312 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,399 believe the line, if I'm not mistaken, is is a 313 00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:03,559 healthy one. At home by you just wins better at home, 314 00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:06,159 wins bigger. Eighteen and a half, I think, yeah, eighteen 315 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,360 and a half. Let's see here have moved up or down? 316 00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 4: Though? 317 00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have a Well, I'll try to get 318 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,639 a confirmation on that one, but yeah, I mean, look, 319 00:16:16,679 --> 00:16:19,120 BYU isn't going to be heavily favored, no doubt about it. 320 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,559 Then ba he gets to Arlington, most likely versus Texas Tech. 321 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,639 Speaker 2: What do you think is going to change on a 322 00:16:24,679 --> 00:16:26,960 neutral field in Arlington? 323 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 3: You know, with BYU fan base trying to get out there, right, 324 00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:32,960 they've they've bought their tickets. They want they don't want 325 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,919 it to be a home game for Tech right well, 326 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,399 and I mean you alluded to all the things that 327 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,720 were happening in Lubbock right to maybe disrupt play calling 328 00:16:44,159 --> 00:16:48,120 That could change for the offense in Arlington, well it will, 329 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:48,879 it will. 330 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,799 Speaker 4: Because it's a neutral site, and so they can't control 331 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:58,360 the sound system just to say that, they that control when, when, 332 00:16:58,799 --> 00:17:03,120 when the music starts, and when the music stops. Being 333 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:08,559 in in Lubbock, they have a really really good system 334 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,720 within that stadium where they will they will play their 335 00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:17,519 music very very very loud, right up until the point 336 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,960 of the that the offensive lining up on the line 337 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,599 of scrimmage. Without saying everything, I just said everything I think, 338 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,000 you know, but you see what I'm saying. And so 339 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,119 the ability to run an offense in the way that 340 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,519 we do in today's n Cuba, where you have speakers 341 00:17:35,519 --> 00:17:38,000 and helmets and you have coordinaries to add the ability 342 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,160 to say different things during different times, There's there's a 343 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,119 lot that goes into that. And after I was kind 344 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,839 of brought up to speed on some of that, I thought, 345 00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:51,440 you know what if that's all legal, lovel Edwards Stadium 346 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,720 needs to jump on board and start doing the exact 347 00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:57,559 same thing, you know, I mean, if that's a legal 348 00:17:57,759 --> 00:17:59,839 way to do it, and it's and it is just 349 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,400 uptive enough to an offense, let's play the game. You know, 350 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,400 it's our turn to play, so anyways there that'll change, 351 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:09,920 and I think that'll give a lot more ability. I'm 352 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,960 noticing two in different games that that when they know 353 00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:16,839 huddle and teams will line up, there's the coordinators are 354 00:18:16,839 --> 00:18:19,839 still talking to the quarterbacks cause you'll see the court, 355 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,200 they'll line up, and then you'll see the quarterbacks put 356 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,839 his hands over both of your holes, and then they'll 357 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,480 call another play and they'll audible and shift. So if 358 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,799 you're not able to do those things, you have to 359 00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:34,119 rely on one person and one person only to do everything, 360 00:18:34,559 --> 00:18:37,240 and that might be tough for a freshman quarterback. But 361 00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:41,160 when you have that ability to voice certain things with 362 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,559 within the regular you know, within the dynamics of the 363 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,480 of the of the you're not penalizing your team or whatever, 364 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,119 that that helps a lot with a coordinator, especially with 365 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,880 that freshman quarterback. So that's where I think we're gonna 366 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,400 have some differences. If Aaron can be in his ear 367 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,599 a little bit more and and be able to be heard, 368 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,240 I think that'll change some of that offensive uh stuff 369 00:19:05,279 --> 00:19:07,599 and where Bear doesn't have to make split decisions, where 370 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,279 things can be helped as we line up that I 371 00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:14,079 was trying to hold back I think I just let go. 372 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 3: Hey, we want truth on these airways. That's how we leave. 373 00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:23,599 Speaker 4: It's a it's a big one, and I think that 374 00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:26,119 that's gonna We're going to see a big difference. And 375 00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:28,200 I just can't I can't wait for that game. I 376 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,279 can't wait to see what the offense changes. Uh what 377 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,039 just what we're able to do and see if we 378 00:19:34,079 --> 00:19:36,599 can step up to the plate and and control a 379 00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:38,319 little bit more of that line of scrimmage because we 380 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,640 have a great offensive line and I think our our 381 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,319 blocking scheme will change a little bit. I mean being 382 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,119 able to go against the team and then be able 383 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,920 to line back up and replay them again. I think 384 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,559 there's just a lot with with the smart coaches that 385 00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:53,039 we have, that we're going to be able to make 386 00:19:53,079 --> 00:19:55,200 some changes and and I'm excited. 387 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,079 Speaker 3: Man, love the commentary, Love the inside, Jared Bledshell.

Austin Leusa address 424 00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:59,160 the media. Gonna go question by question. He is also 425 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,000 another senior graduating. I'm giving a little bit of a tease. 426 00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:03,880 Some people thought he was a junior or might have 427 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,240 been a type on the roster. But let's get into it. 428 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,839 Number one, Austin, what were the key takeaways from the 429 00:22:09,839 --> 00:22:11,920 offensive line without Whalen on Saturday? 430 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,759 Speaker 6: Definitely, you know, we definitely missed whaling him being a 431 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,559 leader in the offensive line group, and you know, he 432 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,680 was definitely a miss But I think we did everything 433 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,359 that we wanted to do going into that game. I 434 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,480 think we executed everything very well. Coach Woods and our 435 00:22:29,559 --> 00:22:32,440 gas and Coach a Rod put us in great positions 436 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,200 for us to really run the ball the way we 437 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,000 wanted to and really just make creases and holes for 438 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,960 the running backs and especially for LJ. And you know, 439 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,240 the way things turned out, we were very happy with 440 00:22:43,519 --> 00:22:44,200 the end result. 441 00:22:45,279 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: We read a lot of holes for LJ. Look, we're 442 00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:51,720 gonna get the chance to ask Aaron Roddick at practice 443 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,400 later this evening when we go down use LJ. We 444 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,759 heard the post game sound yesterday wasn't part of the 445 00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:01,960 game plan. I want to talk to a Rod if 446 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,559 he thought it wasn't a part of the game plan either. 447 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:05,599 But man, I guess when you got the hot hand? 448 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,720 Kline said this before, they're gonna feed the hot hand. 449 00:23:07,799 --> 00:23:09,799 So LJ was the one that's hot. But I want 450 00:23:09,799 --> 00:23:13,839 to know, like, even if you know he did have 451 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,839 the hot hand, of course, but even if you're being effective, right, 452 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,640 let's say he wasn't two hundred and twenty. Let's say 453 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,400 it was like two hundred, would you have given him 454 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,480 thirty five? Would you give him forty? And if a 455 00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:24,480 guy does have the hot hand, will you just keep feeding? 456 00:23:24,519 --> 00:23:27,640 Because can you say, can a guy get too hot? 457 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,680 You know? I mean he already looks, you know, like 458 00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:37,519 a Greek god for crying out loud, chills with body, shoulders, quads, aps, pecks, 459 00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:40,000 you name it. LJ might need to do that. I 460 00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:43,079 wonder what LJ. Martin's compass, what's his NFL comp because 461 00:23:43,079 --> 00:23:45,519 I mean he's already built like Zeus for crying out 462 00:23:45,559 --> 00:23:46,720 loud goodness? 463 00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 4: Is he? 464 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,839 Speaker 1: Is he Poseidon? Is he the land of the waves? 465 00:23:49,839 --> 00:23:51,880 Because he gets to the second level and he's waving 466 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,519 past you and runs you right over. I don't know, 467 00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:55,640 I'm trying to think of some analogies on the spot. 468 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,960 This might be bad radio, But the point is LJ. 469 00:23:58,079 --> 00:24:01,119 Martin man, Yeah, he gives all the credit to the 470 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,160 offensive line. But look, the boys up front did block. 471 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,079 They did well. And Bruce Mitchell kind of talk about 472 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,720 Bruce and I'm gonna have to ask a Rod this too. 473 00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:14,920 Bruce has been phenomenal this year. He's been great. Like Bruce, 474 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,640 he has been able to really be greated out well. 475 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,519 Pro Ball Football Focuses has him one of the highest 476 00:24:21,519 --> 00:24:24,319 graded BA football players this season, if not the highest. 477 00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:27,519 Bruce Mitchell was gonna play at the next level guys 478 00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:30,160 man Jay Hill saw something and saying, hey, you should 479 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,119 switch the offensive line, and Bruce has been great ever 480 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,759 since then. So look, playing defensive line didn't work out 481 00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:39,839 for him. Switches over, and you know, the tip of 482 00:24:39,839 --> 00:24:42,880 the spear has been says Tip of the Spear number two. Austin, 483 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,519 looking ahead on Saturday, you're listed here we go on 484 00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:49,240 the roster as a junior. Do you have more eligibility 485 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,960 or is that a typo? What does the future look 486 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:52,319 like for you? 487 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 7: Austin, Yeah, no, I that might be a typo. I'm 488 00:24:56,599 --> 00:24:57,519 definitely a senior. 489 00:24:58,319 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 6: This will be this will be my last game at 490 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,720 Lavelle Edwards, so it's gonna be surreal moment for me 491 00:25:09,759 --> 00:25:12,000 and my family. But we're super excited and happy for 492 00:25:12,039 --> 00:25:12,519 the future. 493 00:25:12,599 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 1: So I had to clear the air. It's been cleared. 494 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,000 Check the game notes. Said it earlier in the show. 495 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,799 Austin le Whusay is a senior. He will be getting honored. 496 00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:24,200 So don't do not do not think that Austin's going 497 00:25:24,279 --> 00:25:25,839 to be coming back. I love how he chuck him. 498 00:25:26,079 --> 00:25:28,240 Oh no, that might be a type bo I'm definitely 499 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,640 out of eligibility. Look, guys know, if they have more 500 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,599 eligibility and a chance to play in. Austin's been a catalyst. 501 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,680 And look, Austin's gotten digged up. I remember, I can 502 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,559 reveal this now. I guess after the Colorado game he was, 503 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,039 you know, at his arm in a sling, and you know, 504 00:25:42,079 --> 00:25:44,559 everybody goes to their fair share of injuries. It happened. 505 00:25:44,599 --> 00:25:47,319 So last year, Austin was named to the Polynesian College 506 00:25:47,319 --> 00:25:50,880 Football Player of the Year preseason watch list. Right, it's 507 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:58,200 the father father of Alika Leilus's senior major in sociology. 508 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,079 Server divission for the Jersey's christ the Saints from twenty 509 00:26:01,079 --> 00:26:05,599 seventeen to twenty nineteen in the Philippines speaks Tagalic and 510 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,880 another language that I cannot pronounce. I apologize. Austin enjoys 511 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,200 golfing a lot of golfers on this BAU team and 512 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,960 grew up swimming competitively. Okay, Austin, I see you, hey, 513 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,400 Look this is another transfer to BYU. Six foot five 514 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,319 to fifteen pounds senior or from West Jordan, was originally 515 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,400 at Southern Utah, came up. He's had a phenomenal career 516 00:26:26,759 --> 00:26:30,200 as well. Look, the first year he was with SEU 517 00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:32,960 didn't really play a lot. Second year saw a few 518 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,559 more actions, and then obviously that last year before he 519 00:26:35,599 --> 00:26:38,920 transferred his final to a BYU, he played in ten games. 520 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,359 He had started at nine. So this is Austin's official stats. 521 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,839 In twenty twenty to twenty twenty one, played in four games, 522 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,759 didn't start in any. Twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two, 523 00:26:46,759 --> 00:26:49,519 that's probably because he red shirted. Noticed how the four games, guys, 524 00:26:49,519 --> 00:26:52,400 you red shirt, he played in seven started in six, 525 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,200 so he might have got nicked in that. Then the 526 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,119 year after that twenty twenty three to twenty four, played 527 00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:00,319 in ten, started in nine of those. Then it YU. 528 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,640 The last two years twenty twenty four to twenty five, 529 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,200 played in eleven games, started in seven, and then right 530 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,079 now this season twenty twenty five to twenty six, he's 531 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,759 played in eleven and started in ten. A lot of 532 00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:15,920 experience for Austin Le LUSA, especially at BYU in the 533 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,079 twenty twenty three to twenty four season, last year at 534 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,480 Sudden Utah and at BYU. He's been really healthy, really 535 00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:24,400 really healthy. So I think Austin's gonna have an opportunity 536 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,160 to get into a camp and you know, be a 537 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,119 undrafted free agent, So we'll see what the future holds. 538 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,240 I don't think we asked him about his future and 539 00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:33,759 if he wants to further his football career. So we're 540 00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:35,759 gonna have to get caught up with Austin a little 541 00:27:35,839 --> 00:27:39,200 point later before the big twelve out of game, you know, 542 00:27:39,279 --> 00:27:40,640 or after as the bowl game, or if they're in 543 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,839 the college football playoffs and ask him does he plan 544 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,680 to continue to further his football career, because that's on 545 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,000 the table now. A lot of these guys are gonna 546 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,680 ask him, like, are you going into the corporate road 547 00:27:48,759 --> 00:27:50,440 or you're gonna play. I have to think the great 548 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,920 wall of Provo Tenner Wall is definitely gonna be trying 549 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,079 to play as long as he can, and Tanner's gonna 550 00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:57,759 be great wherever he goes. So we'll see. But eighteen 551 00:27:57,799 --> 00:27:59,759 seniors being honored, how many of them will try to 552 00:27:59,759 --> 00:28:02,799 further their career? All right, let's keep going. Austin number three, 553 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,839 LJ gave all the credit to you guys. It's funny. 554 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:07,920 I feel like he's going to do the opposite and 555 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,680 give it to him anyway. LJA give you guys all 556 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,440 the credit for his career. Day from alignment perspectives. What 557 00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:16,720 makes him so good? His vision, his speed, his looselessness, 558 00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:17,519 what say you. 559 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:23,559 Speaker 7: Austin, I think it's just you know, who he is 560 00:28:23,799 --> 00:28:26,400 as a person. You know this. 561 00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:29,519 Speaker 6: You know he didn't just you know, come up on 562 00:28:29,599 --> 00:28:32,200 these thousand yards just this season. It's all the work 563 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,279 that he's put in in the offseason as well, all 564 00:28:34,319 --> 00:28:36,920 of his success that he's had. It's it's definitely been 565 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,519 something that he's been working towards and working very hard towards. 566 00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:42,640 We were just we were honestly just there, you know, 567 00:28:43,839 --> 00:28:46,799 doing our job, and he was doing his job, and ultimately, 568 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,640 you know, it got to it got him to where 569 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,759 he is now. And so that's just kind of how 570 00:28:50,759 --> 00:28:52,039 we take it as an old line group. We know 571 00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:53,839 we're just doing our job and our one eleven. 572 00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: Football, doing a one to eleventh football. That's what they 573 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,119 were doing. Everybody did their pardon LJ went berserk. He 574 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,039 went bonkers on the Cincinnati Bearcats defense ran all over them. 575 00:29:04,079 --> 00:29:07,039 People expected, probably different people picked Cincinnati in this game. 576 00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:09,359 They were still doubters said, oh, they get their top 577 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,799 running back back Prior's back, He's gonna run all over Nada. Nope, 578 00:29:12,839 --> 00:29:14,960 didn't happen. L just said, check this out. I got 579 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,680 something for y'all. God in check tape, God in check tape. 580 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,519 That I was coming in averaging ninety one point two yards. 581 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,200 Now I'm averaging you know, one hundred and three point nine. 582 00:29:23,279 --> 00:29:26,920 Check that out. Eat that, eat that Texas Tech, eat 583 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,039 that Cameron Dicky, LJ the best running back. That's what 584 00:29:29,079 --> 00:29:31,359 he's telling everybody. Oh man, it's gonna be so great 585 00:29:31,359 --> 00:29:33,119 to see LJ get another shot at Texas Tech. And 586 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,119 BYU wins. He was not fully healthy, he was not confident. 587 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,400 That's not the game you want to come back, guys 588 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,119 in playing a formidable opponent. That's not the one I've 589 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,079 seen guys on my teammates Rugby come back and out 590 00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:47,799 to play Saint Mary's Cols. Not the game you want 591 00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:50,079 to come back from injury. Look, you want to always 592 00:29:50,079 --> 00:29:51,839 beat the best of the best. But if your first 593 00:29:51,839 --> 00:29:53,960 game has to be against the best in the conference, 594 00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:55,960 which we found out, we know that at the time, 595 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,319 Lucky doesn't really go that way. And you also really 596 00:29:58,359 --> 00:30:00,599 don't know coming back from injuries, is it gonna work? 597 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,160 Well is it not? And now obviously he knows, so 598 00:30:03,559 --> 00:30:05,759 it's gonna be very interesting to Byu wants his game, 599 00:30:05,799 --> 00:30:08,119 and then they go to Arlington and most likely would 600 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,359 face Texas Tech. If they get another crack at it, 601 00:30:10,359 --> 00:30:12,839 we'll see or can rich Rod shock the world? Not 602 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,799 banking on it, not gonna bank on it, not gonna 603 00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:18,200 bet on it, not a betting man, don't believe in betting. 604 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,960 Don't go down the dark Desert highway. As Brandon Gurney says, 605 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,960 fun fact, people may think this is sad on why 606 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,359 I'm telling this. One of the reasons my parents didn't 607 00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:28,000 stay together is because my dad had a gambling addition. 608 00:30:28,519 --> 00:30:31,440 So you don't have to worry about that from me. 609 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,960 Continuing on number four, you've been rotating at guard Austin, 610 00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:39,640 but you also have been rotating at tackle. Just take 611 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,480 us what went into that decision there and the conversation 612 00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:44,240 that you had with TJ. Woods. 613 00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:48,519 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think coach Woods definitely, you know, wanted me 614 00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:51,200 to get some reps at tackle as well. You know 615 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,599 before coming here to Byu, I did play tackle at 616 00:30:53,599 --> 00:30:56,000 my last school, and so that was kind of just 617 00:30:57,799 --> 00:31:00,880 a decision that we've talked about over the season and 618 00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:03,440 he felt you know that I think it was the 619 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,480 Iowa State game is when I started rotating again. He 620 00:31:05,519 --> 00:31:07,960 felt that was a good time for me to kind 621 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,359 of just showcase that. But you know, it's it's been 622 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,119 in the talks for a while now, and so it's 623 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,359 it's been good. We've had a good time and it's 624 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,559 just been it's been really fun. 625 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,279 Speaker 1: It definitely has been really fun. Side No, guys, just 626 00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:23,400 want to give you a reminder that ESPN the Fan 627 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,359 wants to send you and your friends to an advanced 628 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,119 screening of five Nights at Freddy's two happening at the 629 00:31:29,119 --> 00:31:32,359 Megaplex Valley for on Wednesday, December thirty seven pm.

Check it out there. 634 00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:49,200 Let's continue on with Austin le Lusa and the Sound. Yes, 635 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,440 he did play tackle at his last school. Was a 636 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,480 great opportunity for him to get reps. He wanted to 637 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,920 get some reps here at tackle, have him rotated a 638 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,480 little bit. Look, having a lineman that's versus can be 639 00:31:59,559 --> 00:32:02,440 very versas to to do all of it works. Remember 640 00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:05,880 Jason Anderson's kid, you know, one of the coaches at 641 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,000 Lee High Tigue was very versatile. Could play you know, guard, 642 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,960 I think tackle, could maybe play center, I can't remember. 643 00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:15,279 Or it's playing guard and could be a center. One 644 00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:16,880 of the one of the two or three is in there. 645 00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:19,440 I'm I'm, I'm in the mix. But the point was 646 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,240 that people see him at the next level, you know, 647 00:32:21,559 --> 00:32:23,480 playing at the center. So this is his dad. So look, 648 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,960 it's good to have reps at all positions because you 649 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,720 never know where they're gonna need you. You have no idea. 650 00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:30,839 Remember Connor pay when they were trying to figure all 651 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,680 of that out. Oh well, Connor play can play guard 652 00:32:32,759 --> 00:32:35,039 and he can play center, like both, and you have 653 00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:38,039 whaling because you're bringing a bunch of people over look. 654 00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:41,640 I just I think it's good to have Depp. And 655 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,839 it's also good to be cross trained. It's like folatasath 656 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,400 Tuala playing free safety, but no, it's strong safety and 657 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,640 vice versa. It's good to know both sides because you 658 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,000 never know when a guy's going to go down to 659 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,160 attrition or you have to play. And Austin's been able 660 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,359 to step up big this season, So it's good to 661 00:32:55,359 --> 00:32:56,799 have a lineman that can play a little bit of 662 00:32:56,799 --> 00:32:59,519 both when you need to, especially you need you need 663 00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:03,480 as many big brothers up front, six foot five, six 664 00:33:03,519 --> 00:33:06,920 foot nine, whoever it is, three hundred and fifteen pounds 665 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,720 protecting the bear, tar Bear, what is it? Bear force 666 00:33:10,799 --> 00:33:16,039 one Pergus Johnson, Air Bear, per Brett always bringing the hammer, 667 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,640 Bear Yu per Ronald, the three mint. We were just 668 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,240 trying to think of all the nicknames, but no, you 669 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,359 need as manybodies protecting bear and of course the bailcout 670 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,039 back to the future twenty twenty six NFL Draft pic. 671 00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:29,480 I'm gonna start that narrative. People might get mad. LJ. 672 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000 Martin for sure, Number five Austin In terms of you 673 00:33:33,079 --> 00:33:38,400 going from FCS to FBS power for how tough was 674 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,880 that process? What adjustments did you have to make? 675 00:33:41,839 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, No, it's definitely it's definitely a different process. You know, 676 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,160 going from an FCS to an FBS level, things are 677 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,000 a little bit faster, but it's definitely you know, you 678 00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:55,559 feel more prepared in a sense, like your body's gonna 679 00:33:55,559 --> 00:33:57,000 be right, your mental. 680 00:33:57,319 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 7: Your physical, you know, just everything's in order. 681 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 6: Rather you know, at a lower school or a lower 682 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,319 division school, you kind of have to do a lot 683 00:34:07,319 --> 00:34:09,239 of things on your own, if that makes sense. 684 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,039 Speaker 1: You do have to do things on your own because 685 00:34:12,079 --> 00:34:14,920 you might not have all the resources. When you're at 686 00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:21,960 a lower school. You might not have the financial resources 687 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,480 to be able to help buoy up the program like 688 00:34:25,519 --> 00:34:27,280 you do. You know, you don't might not have the 689 00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:32,639 donor base to help implement new maybe facilities and equipment 690 00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:34,440 and things like that. And when you get to power 691 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:35,960 for a school you do, you do have access to 692 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,519 all of that. So Austin's right, you have to do 693 00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:39,800 it kind of on your own. It's funny because rugby 694 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,320 it's a club sport, so I know where Austin's coming from. 695 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,920 Of oh, well you had, you know, lifting and maybe 696 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,599 some nutrition. Yeah, but that was donors. Like my coach, 697 00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:49,199 I remember, Steve sent Pierre said he had to go 698 00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:51,440 out and beg people, beg people for us to get 699 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,159 it and we got it. But like you had to 700 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,599 get people to invest in the program. So things just 701 00:34:55,599 --> 00:34:57,800 don't come easy. They don't just give you stuff at 702 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,639 the P four excuse me, FCS level, it doesn't go 703 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,679 that way. And the club sports don't you have to 704 00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:05,559 go get donations, and even at BYU donations happen. Do 705 00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:08,400 you baseball facility or the ad on is being built 706 00:35:08,599 --> 00:35:11,880 donation Brian Santiago the press release, go back to it donations. 707 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,440 I know people are waiting on, including myself, or the 708 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,079 smith Field House for women's volleyball to be upgraded in 709 00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:19,000 women's soccer. That's crazy that they have to share a 710 00:35:19,039 --> 00:35:22,480 locker room along with gymnastics. But someone's gonna have to donate. 711 00:35:22,559 --> 00:35:25,360 That's just how it goes, and it's unfortunate that that's 712 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,880 the way it is. But there's a two part thing. 713 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,320 It's athletics could want to do it, but I don't 714 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,519 think it's necessarily athletics. I think it might be more 715 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:36,079 by us to agree because like it's interesting the nature 716 00:35:36,119 --> 00:35:38,000 of it because from what I know and from what 717 00:35:38,039 --> 00:35:42,039 I've heard, it doesn't sound like that it's always, you know, 718 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,880 gonna be on athletics hands. Like they use these facilities 719 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,400 on campus, but boll Used Toll owns them, so it's 720 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,199 like you're like renting in a way. It's like you 721 00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:52,599 own the space, but like you're leasing it kind of 722 00:35:52,639 --> 00:35:54,800 like I guess a timeshare. I don't know. If that's 723 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,599 the best analogy your way to put it. But I 724 00:35:56,639 --> 00:35:58,239 know some people like, when is it going to happen? Look, 725 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,880 I'm waiting for it to it. Definitely a more than 726 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,039 deserving of it, especially these programs you know that have overachieved. 727 00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:05,760 But at the end of the day, it's not always 728 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,360 people's decision. Anyway. I bring up that point of sometimes 729 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,679 you don't have the resources necessary to get the work done, 730 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,039 and you see that from the SCS to the FBS 731 00:36:14,119 --> 00:36:17,119 level in Austin just commented on in the resources. Let's 732 00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:20,000 continue on number six Austin, you guys are coming off 733 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,960 an emotional game and as senior day, how will you 734 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,320 guys react and not have an emotional letdown so you 735 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,760 can make sure that you get to that big teve 736 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:28,840 tititle game that you want to get to. 737 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 6: You know, I think we're just gonna do you know 738 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,679 what our coaches, you know, tell us to do each 739 00:36:33,679 --> 00:36:36,639 and every week, you know, flush it, get our minds 740 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,519 right for this new opponent. You know, don't let the 741 00:36:38,519 --> 00:36:41,440 outside noise get to us or or anything. Something our 742 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,599 on line coach says to us all the time is 743 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,559 the environment changes, we don't And then he also says, 744 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,559 you know, we gotta have poison the noise. So just 745 00:36:49,559 --> 00:36:51,400 just keeping our nose down in our heads in the 746 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,440 in the right headspace, and you know, we'll continue to do. 747 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 4: What we do. 748 00:36:55,639 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: I like, they gotta have poise and the noise. You 749 00:36:58,039 --> 00:37:01,599 got to have poise and the noise. TJ with these bars. 750 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,599 Man got to interview TJ because he's got these bars 751 00:37:04,599 --> 00:37:06,639 coming from left and right. But he's not wrong yet. 752 00:37:06,679 --> 00:37:08,400 I poison noise. There's a lot of noise, even maybe 753 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,639 from US media members. Look, the college football playoff ranking 754 00:37:11,679 --> 00:37:13,400 are gonna come out tonight. I guarantee Bill he's gonna 755 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,360 be number eleventh. Again. I don't think they're gonna move 756 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,639 because nobody in front of them lost really difficult. You 757 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,280 might have some switches, maybe above some people. Maybe you 758 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,239 switch organ and old miss because of how Oregon beat 759 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,639 USC and all misses on a buy. Maybe, but the 760 00:37:26,679 --> 00:37:28,320 committee's only doing that so they can get the proper 761 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,039 matchups that they want at the end of the year. 762 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,079 I don't know. I could be completely wrong about that. 763 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,639 Maybe Utah drops because they play Kansas State, so well, 764 00:37:35,639 --> 00:37:37,880 we'll see. But at the end of the day, BA 765 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,079 used to not moving from eleven. Don't think they're moving 766 00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:44,480 from eleventh. Nice try not going to happen, No, sir, 767 00:37:44,639 --> 00:37:47,079 right now, BYU perly committee not going to be in 768 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,760 Not good, Bob, not good. Really need Auburn to take 769 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,119 care of business and need LSU to go throttle Oklahoma. 770 00:37:55,159 --> 00:37:57,679 They're not gonna throw them. But to Venables is a 771 00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,679 very good coaching defensive mind, and need LSU to go 772 00:37:59,679 --> 00:38:02,000 out there and shock the world as well. You need 773 00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:04,480 Washington to beat Organ. If that were to happen, man, 774 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,079 it's like a guaranteed in for BYU. You Tah would 775 00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:09,440 be in two. I could be wrong about that, but man, 776 00:38:09,519 --> 00:38:11,679 that would be crazy. If three of the top ten 777 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,719 loss in last week. Don't think it's gonna happen. But 778 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,159 you need to Kogarnation. You can't have one. You gotta 779 00:38:16,159 --> 00:38:18,320 have at least two. So you're banking on Auburn and 780 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,639 Alabama and then the next one that you're banking on 781 00:38:21,039 --> 00:38:24,400 is that Washington knocks off Organ. Hopefully that's possible. We'll 782 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,840 see come this Saturday. Everybody will be tuned in. But 783 00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:30,079 all you can focus on is at eleven am BYU 784 00:38:30,199 --> 00:38:32,519 takes care of business. Look by the time Bou's game 785 00:38:32,599 --> 00:38:34,119 is over, a lot of these other games will be 786 00:38:34,199 --> 00:38:36,119 kicking off around and I need to actually go ahead 787 00:38:36,119 --> 00:38:37,320 and look that up. I'm gonna look that up right 788 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,159 now to see what the kickoff time is for these 789 00:38:39,159 --> 00:38:42,360 other games. I'm pretty sure Alabama and Auburn is gonna 790 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,920 be a night game. We know that college game da 791 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,119 in Big newon kickoff are at Michigan Ohio State, so 792 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,079 don't really have to worry about those. I'm pulling up 793 00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:50,480 the scores right now because i just want to know 794 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,559 the timeline if BYU will know. So here's the top 795 00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:58,880 twenty five obviously, and yeah and well no double checking, 796 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,599 sorry guys, bad radio looking at when it would be 797 00:39:02,599 --> 00:39:05,559 be yeah, okay, so yeah, one thirty on CBS, CBS 798 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,800 Washington versus Oregon. So BOUS game will end beforehand, so 799 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,079 you'll kind of have an idea around that time because 800 00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:14,199 they're in the middle. Same with LSU Oklahoma that is 801 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,320 gonna be one thirty on ABC, so you'll know there. 802 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,480 And then obviously the night game Alabama Auburn, that one 803 00:39:19,519 --> 00:39:22,280 is said five thirty. So yeah, so pretty much by 804 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,119 the time that that Auburn Alabama game kicks Off. You'll 805 00:39:25,119 --> 00:39:27,719 know if if Oklahoma's lost and if Oregon lost, and 806 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,679 if they both lose, BYU is for sure going in. 807 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,400 There's no way as bous is seventeen and a half 808 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,000 point favorite to beat UCF and they'll cover that, I believe. 809 00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:39,239 But if Alabama and Auburn would have lose, Oh my goodness, 810 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,480 there's a song I can't remember. I can't remember who's already, 811 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,719 but she got me saying, oh my goodness, like yeah, 812 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,599 like you could very well be singing that song like baby, 813 00:39:48,679 --> 00:39:50,840 oh my like if that would happens. So we'll find out. 814 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,800 We'll find out sooner rather than later. In a few 815 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,400 days after Black Friday. Maybe that's the Black Friday discount 816 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,000 that we need is to slip because Football Playoff commitee 817 00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:03,280 some money and maybe the officials they'll be officiing those games. 818 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,480 Help Washington guys, if you're if you're doing that game, 819 00:40:06,519 --> 00:40:08,400 and please slack some money to l s U and 820 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,800 for Auburn. That's what you need because BYU right now 821 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,679 and I don't think they're they're gonna get in number seven. Austin, 822 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:14,960 Let's get you out of here on this, and we 823 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,280 need to close out the show, talk about the experience 824 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,360 you had at by U.

You know, I've always wanted 828 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:28,599 to be at b YU since. 829 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,079 Speaker 4: I was a little kid. 830 00:40:29,119 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 6: I grew up coming to the games and just you know, 831 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,880 being here has been such a surreal experience for not 832 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,920 only me, but for my family as well, my wife, 833 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,880 my two daughters, and essentially I wouldn't really be here 834 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,119 if it wasn't for my wife and my two kids. 835 00:40:42,159 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 7: And I've loved every moment of being here. 836 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 6: The coaching staff, you know, I I give a lot 837 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,719 of thanks to them as well, but ultimately, you know, 838 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,920 I have to thank my heavenly father, my wife, you know, 839 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,119 and my family and in our support system.

I mean, we played the Logan 852 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,880 latuis sound earlier in the third hour and Logan takes 853 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,800 his son around on his shoulder after wins, like that's 854 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,440 what it means, you know.
