Thanksgiving Week Tuesday, specifically November twenty fifth edition of Cougar Sports.

He comes in stands about six foot. They can use

38
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:53,319
him in the running back room. Got a lot of girth.

39
00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:56,760
He's wearing the Utah Mammoth Foody Today surprised by that

40
00:01:56,799 --> 00:01:59,359
not the Utah Hockey Club got the Chubbies hat on too.

41
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,040

00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,079
herold G Man, how we doing.

43
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,599
Speaker 3: I actually have a new article of clothing on, which

44
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,479
is not a normal look for me, As Ronnie Well knows,

45
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,159
I kind of rotate the same shirts.

46
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 4: Over five or six years. Now.

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: I happened to run in a new one. I'll add

48
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,080
that to the rotation. But no, I wanted to get

49
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,960
a Utah Mammoth hoodie. I'm all in on the Utah Mammoth.

50
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:25,520
I love hockey. It's a new thing for me, running

51
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,280
about two three years now. But man, I'm down. I

52
00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:32,280
do not like missing a Utah Mammoth hockey. I'd watch

53
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,639
all of them. I love them anyway. There you go,

54
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:37,719
you would. You definitely are a big hockey fan. I've

55
00:02:37,719 --> 00:02:41,159
noticed that recently. So I actually did something I almost

56
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:43,280
never do, and I made a clothing purchase of a

57
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:46,520
fine twined linen, which is my Utah Mammoth hoodie.

58
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: The love the hoodie. Gotta rep the Mammoth, especially in

59
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,439

00:02:57,719 --> 00:02:59,479
Introduce it momentary. But I want to tell you guys,

63
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,319
a lot of peop people be like, hey, what happens

64
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:04,039
when the show is cut short due to UVU basketball

65
00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:05,840
which is going to take over the airways at three thirty.

66
00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:08,120

So if you're like, hey, why are you guys off

72
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,719

73

78
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:36,080
a smart speaker, Hey, listen to Cougar Sports will being

79
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,759
critical and you will be able to find the podcast there.

80
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,080
Gi man, I'll just introduce it. So we're gonna get

81
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,319
into some kline Sataki sound here in then initty gritty

82
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,479
to start off the show. He addressed the media yesterday

83
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:52,159
UCF Big Game, Big Game this Saturday, kickoff time as

84
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:54,840
eleven am on ESPN two. A lot of people probably

85
00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:55,840
thought be what he was going to be in the

86
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,400
night game. Maybe some fans are upset. They want BYU

87
00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:00,719
to have the Florida Boys freezing. That's not going to

88
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:03,199
be the case. The Sun's gonna be out. UCF needs

89
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,639
this game to get Bowl eligible. That would knock BYU

90
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,639
out of the Big Tour Championship, out the title game,

91
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,039
and any opportunity to go to the college football playoffs.

92
00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:14,080
So this is big for both sides, more so for BYU.

93
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,079
Bou is a lot more to lose. But you have

94
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:18,480
the game at home, you have the twelfth man. So

95
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:21,680
we're here from Killane at in the nitty gritty, coming

96
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:24,199
up shortly here at two ten, gonna get into our

97
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:26,600
banding question of today at two thirty, let's talk about stats.

98
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,800
So at two forty five, and then we're gonna get

99
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,199
into a little college basketball segment. J T for three

100
00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:33,319
will join us at three oh five, Gonna break down

101
00:04:33,319 --> 00:04:35,879
this bill U men's basketball team. The win over Wisconsin

102
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:39,199
as they head out now to Orlando. BYU be in

103
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,600
Orlando visiting the Mouse or the Pop Touch Bowl, hopefully not.

104
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,319
I know the man next to me does not want

105
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:46,040
that and does not want you going, So we'll see.

106
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,680
But BAU basketball headed to the Terry Chocolate Invitational. That'll

107
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,680
be taking on Miami and then I think the winner

108
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,399
of the Georgetown Daton game, So we will see what

109
00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:56,839
ravals from there. But JT will break it down for

110
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,480
us at three to zero five and then the rest

111
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,199
of the sound we're gonna have gonna get into Little

112
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:04,560
Cougar inside report. Talon Alfrey media availability. Talent is one

113
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,360
of the seniors on this team. Plays on special teams.

114
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,480
Remember last year in the last game of the season,

115
00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:11,439
he had that scooping score, right, g man, he picked

116
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,439
up that ball that they try to get the BYU

117
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,839
with the onside ki because Arizona State got BYU with

118
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,279
it the game before and they went to the house

119
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,560
and he scores. So Talent good football player, a good

120
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,720
football player. Where hear how he's overcome some adversity. Remember

121
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:26,279
he tore his achilles, guys popped his achilles. I'm pretty

122
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:28,680
sure he discusses that and more so we'll get that

123
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:32,519
sound at four thirty. Jared Bledsoe, former b Yui receiver

124
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:34,800
of Utah Protective Films. He will join us at five

125
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,959
I shouldn't say really five o five, but he'll join

126
00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:39,199
us as well as five of five. Technically the hour

127
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,920
three of the podcast, you can get that his interview

128
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:44,199
will be uploaded. We're gonna discuss for there are any

129
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,160
offensive concerns Chase Roberts, is he gonna be able to go?

130
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,800
Kline's gonna comment it here momentarily, and then the potential

131
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,800
rematch between BYU and Texas Tech on neutral site. I've

132
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,480
talked to Jared, and Jared mentioned that, look, you can

133
00:05:56,519 --> 00:05:58,360
pump crowd noise as loud as you want. That's an

134
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,560
advantage that you can do at home. On a neutral site,

135
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,319
that's not the case. So we're gonna hear from Jared

136
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,600
at five oh five and discussed that as well. Gonna

137
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,680
hear from Austin leahos So, Austin Lea, who's to sound?

138
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,920
He addressed the media. I mean then Logan Litui. Logan

139
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:13,519
litouis remember he was leading a team in tackles to

140
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,839
start off the season for a good portion. It was

141
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:17,399
good that they got him back. We know he had

142
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:20,000
a senior day walked last year, but had another year

143
00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:23,319
of eligibility. Gonna discuss LJ. Martin, Is LJ coming back?

144
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,079
Should he go to the draft? All of that and

145
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:28,079
more hearing your Cougar Sports Insider Radio network. But g Man,

146
00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:29,360
I guess I'll ask you that before we get to

147
00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:32,120
the nitty gritty. Are you concerned at all about the offense?

148
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,040
Bear seems to be dinged up, Chase seems to be

149
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,920
dinged up. I think the offense is less healthy than

150
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,319
the defense right now. Now, having Chase Roberts could be

151
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,879
a big deal without LG.

152
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,399
Speaker 3: Martin just looking like the best running back who ever lived.

153
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,879
Speaker 4: I think be way, you could have been hurting.

154
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: That passing game was not insane, and you've seen a

155
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:59,720
connection Bears had with Chase robertson I still think fans underestimate.

156
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:02,759
Speaker 4: Just how good Chase Roberts is. He's very, very.

157
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: Good, and not having him in the lineup is absolutely concerned.

158
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 4: Do I think he should play? No, I think he

159
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:09,480
needs it off.

160
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: I think you need him fully healthy because what do

161
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:15,240
we see with soft tissue injuries time and again he

162
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:18,040
goes out there. Yeah, it's feeling good. Midway through the

163
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,480
same court, I'll pulled it again. Then it's another setback

164
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,360
and all that. I mean, he has to go in

165
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,319
the Big twelve Championship game. It doesn't matter. He's got

166
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,600
to go in that game, period and b way you

167
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,240
can get by UCP without Chase roberts So, yeah, I

168
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:33,920
want to see Chase Roberts said.

169
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 4: I really do give it to LJ.

170
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:39,279
Speaker 3: Give it to that offensive line, plow away, same game plan, whatever.

171
00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:42,319
And I think Bear with an entire week of practice.

172
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,120
You got to understand the connection you build with receivers.

173
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,279
It doesn't just happen. You've got to be in sync.

174
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:52,759
You need those reps. You've seen it with Chase through

175
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:55,160
out the season. Bear was not on the same page

176
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,199
with those guys early on in the season. No, but

177
00:07:57,279 --> 00:08:00,120
you've seen that progress with repetition boom boom boom. And

178
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,120
he just hasn't had that with guys like Jojo, with

179
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:05,839
Cody Hagen as much as he has with Chase Robertson, obviously,

180
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,639
Parker Kingston. Maybe a week full of practices, here's the

181
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,720
guy I want to step up.

182
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: He's got to have a good connection with Tiger. Yeah,

183
00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:17,959
that hasn't been been happening. Yeah, I'll be.

184
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: Honest, Tiger hasn't had the impact overall that I thought

185
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,519
he would. I thought he'd be have fifteen to twenty

186
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,959
catches at this time. He'd be maybe that third fourth

187
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,120
guy at worse. But maybe this is time for Tiger

188
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:36,320
to Yeah, the brother connections finally coming through, and they're

189
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:36,960
gonna be guys.

190
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 4: I think Reggie Frishneck he's.

191
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: Got a little bit more time the last couple of

192
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:42,039
couple of games.

193
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting, but I think Bay he's gonna have

194
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,480
to throw the ball. You like to think that that

195
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:50,559
LJ can just go out there and pound guys away

196
00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:54,600
with thirty plus touches. Again, I don't want that.

197
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want that before the big

198
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,759
to a title game, because you're gonna need him, most

199
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,919
likely against Texas Tech.

200
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: But I want to talk a LJU Martin. I think

201
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:08,320
his injury was the biggest blessing in disguise of his career.

202
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,159
Speaker 4: Prior to his injury, he was good.

203
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: He was a good back that could lay a blow

204
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:16,879
and all that what we saw from LJ against Cincinnati

205
00:09:17,639 --> 00:09:19,879
and not as much, but we still saw it the

206
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,919
week prior against TCU.

207
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:26,799
Speaker 4: He's more physical. He's laying out guys.

208
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 3: Which is really iron because you have an ac separation.

209
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:34,519
But I think he learns something about himself over the

210
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,279
course of that injury where he was able to rest

211
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,399
and I think, and he admits it. He admitted in

212
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,480
his injury his confidence was not there against that. Oh

213
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:43,720
how's my shoulder going to react?

214
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:45,159
Speaker 4: Oh? Man, I don't know.

215
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 3: And I think he got together and just got with

216
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:51,440
the mindset it doesn't matter. I need to be a dude.

217
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:54,039
I need to be something that just overcomes us. I

218
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,039
can't just timidly walk into this. I'm LJ.

219
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 4: Martin.

220
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,519
Speaker 3: I lay the blow. I want to go the NFL

221
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,559
next year. Is time for me to show up, got

222
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,519
through whatever I have and just pound guys into the turf.

223
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,399
And that's what he did against Cincinnati. I think it

224
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,120
was a breaking point for him in a very positive direction.

225
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,159
He's a smart kid. We've known that about LJ. He's

226
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:18,480
very talented, but he's a different back. What we saw

227
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,600
against TCU in Cincinnati was an elevated LJ. Martin, which

228
00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:25,320
is saying something because he's always been really good. But

229
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,799
what we saw against Cincinnati that was extraordinary. That was phenomenal.

230
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,679
I mean he's just lodging mouthguards run every one points to.

231
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,279
I think maybe even the more significant run there was

232
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,080
like a third and fourth situation where he was met

233
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,480
by two linebackers like two yards short of the line

234
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:43,799
of scrimmage and.

235
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 4: He just bulldozed them.

236
00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:49,759
Speaker 3: Dude just ran them over and got the first down

237
00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:53,799
by two yards. To me, that was the biggest run

238
00:10:53,879 --> 00:10:58,000
he had. But man, you love seeing that from LJ.

239
00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:01,000
You love the guy. What is he cap to that?

240
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,080
I asked the question in post game are you just help?

241
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,120
He goes, no, I'm just more confident. I mean he

242
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,679
just kind of said, no, it's nothing, It's all on me.

243
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:12,440
I love it when players take accountability because that indicates

244
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,440
to me they're on the incline to apply it and

245
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:19,080
to become better. And that's exactly what we saw with LG.

246
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 4: Martin. It was phenomenal.

247
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 3: It's a great story and he's getting all the flowers

248
00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:27,480
he deserves and the offensive line deserves a lot of Yeah.

249
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,240
Do you know who's really really good is is Bruce Mitchell.

250
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: Oh, he's been like one of the highest graded, like

251
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,080
Linemen all year for by.

252
00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: Pole might be an NFL offensive one.

253
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,799
Speaker 1: No, no, not might I think I think he is.

254
00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:42,200
I think one more year has to solidify. But there's

255
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:42,840
no ways not.

256
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 4: He's had a phenomenal season.

257
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: He's been great.

258
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,879
Speaker 3: He's been really really good, and he couldn't have happened

259
00:11:47,879 --> 00:11:50,080
to a nicer guy. Yeah, you talked to Bruce Mitchell

260
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,799
man that that guy's just awesome. He's great to talk to.

261
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:59,679
But yeah, I think LJ. Martin has established himself. He's

262
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,559
reached a new tier, is what I'm trying to say.

263
00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:03,960
So I definitely agree with you. He definitely has reached

264
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,720
a new tier, no doubt. But let's hear from Kalani.

game for our seniors this weekend and really really happy

294
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,039
with the result after watching the film and everything. Just

295
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,759
proud of our guys. Just a commitments of playing tough

296
00:13:53,799 --> 00:13:57,600
and being in a physical, physical game.

297
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 4: That was good.

298
00:13:58,279 --> 00:14:01,159
Speaker 5: A good response from all our guys, all three phases,

299
00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:04,159
and so h you know, looking forward to the momentum

300
00:14:04,159 --> 00:14:06,799
that we were able to create and uh, just we

301
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:08,799
need that going into this last game. And then you

302
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,039
know it was we knew going into that game that

303
00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:13,600
Cincinnati is gonna give us their best shot is their

304
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,240
senior night, and now we're hear it our senior day

305
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,399
in our senior game. And so the goal will be

306
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,679
controlling the emotions because we've been part of it and

307
00:14:21,799 --> 00:14:24,639
and uh and uh, you know, we talk about it

308
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:28,159
and having those guys figure out that it's going to

309
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,960
be an emotional time for them, but also to embrace

310
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,519
the opportunity and to go out and play their best

311
00:14:33,559 --> 00:14:36,080
and so really getting over the emotions of just being

312
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,960
your last game and maybe maybe even approaching that the

313
00:14:40,039 --> 00:14:42,679
concept and the of it right now so they can

314
00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:45,000
understand it. And then let's go play the game and

315
00:14:45,039 --> 00:14:47,639
have fun and the uh format our best. We do

316
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,159
that and I think everything else will take care of itself.

317
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:54,159
A really good team. UCF is coached by Scott Frost,

318
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:57,000
who's got a great reputation and what he can do,

319
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,960
especially with the offensive mind that he is, uh, he's

320
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,000
had a lot of success at UCF and this is

321
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,200
a second stint. So, uh, you know, we can see

322
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,519
on film they're dangerous team and that they they they're

323
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,720
their rosters full of talent and skill and speed, and

324
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:14,840
so this is not going to be an easy game.

325
00:15:14,879 --> 00:15:17,720
But we feel good about getting the most out of

326
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,960
our guys and and performing at our best and seeing

327
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,679
what happens. We're gonna need to play all three phases

328
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,879
compromary football and and do our best to make sure

329
00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:29,960
that we're we're in a best position for success.

330
00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 4: But uh, you know, looking at.

331
00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 5: Their staff, I mean, I know Alex has been there

332
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,080
for a while. We've got great reputations and defensive mind

333
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:41,159
and so they have really good talent, great coaching coaches

334
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,879
and the coaching staff. Uh, they're well coached team, and

335
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,080
I know they're they're dangerous opponent. You know, you look

336
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,240
at what's going on in in in the Big twelve Conference,

337
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,320
nothing's easy, you know. So you look at the games

338
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,320
that happened over the weekend, a lot of tight games,

339
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,559
and you know, we we we remember being in a

340
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:02,159
position where they're playing for a lot right now, they're

341
00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:05,080
playing for Bowl eligibility, and we're playing for a lot too,

342
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,919
so there's a lot riding on this game. I just

343
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,879
want to find a way to go, want to oh

344
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,399
this weekend, keep focus on the opponent, and stay humble,

345
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,240
stay hungry, and away we go, just kind of doing

346
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:18,879
the same things that we've been doing and trying to

347
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:19,960
keep the momentum going.

348
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:24,039
Speaker 1: Very simple when and you're in, you're in the big

349
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,679
talk toddle game. You control your own destiny. You're at

350
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,480
the crib. But look, you see up as planned for

351
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:32,120
a lot. He mentioned Scott Frost. Right now, they haven't

352
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,080
won a road game yet, so don't give you see

353
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,159
at their first road win. They haven't run away. And

354
00:16:36,159 --> 00:16:38,159
when I meant that, I mean in conference, right, they

355
00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:40,440
haven't won. They're zero to four on the road. You

356
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,200
don't want that. Scott Frost's career record is forty and

357
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,320
forty four. He's twenty four and thirteen at the UCM.

358
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,879
But fun fact, this is the first meeting between Frost

359
00:16:48,879 --> 00:16:49,440
and BYU.

360
00:16:50,519 --> 00:16:53,639
Speaker 3: The rule of Kalani Satake in his interviews, and I've

361
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,240
learned this in my time covering him, is you focus

362
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,639
on his opening statement. And when I say opening statement,

363
00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:02,240
I don't mean the whole rambling five minutes.

364
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,759
Speaker 4: I'm talking about the very first thing.

365
00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:05,279
Speaker 3: He saw, The first thing he says, the first thing

366
00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:09,119
he addressed was he liked the physicality b way you

367
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,319
won that game at the point of attack. It's offensive

368
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:15,759
line and defensive lines were very, very good. And when

369
00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:18,920
you talk about a game, there's something to be said

370
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,680
about an offensive line where you're just running. And I've

371
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,519
expressed this on the program. One thing I have envied

372
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,559
very much from the Utah program over the years is

373
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:29,759
it seems like it can get just get in that

374
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,880
mode where they're just running the ball and they don't care.

375
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,359
You know what's coming, but you can't stop it. But

376
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,039
you can't stop it. B what you showed that again

377
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,759
Cincinnati at the end of that game. It was no, guys,

378
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:46,680
we're bringing four at you again and again we're plowing

379
00:17:46,759 --> 00:17:50,240
the way stop it and they couldn't do it. They're

380
00:17:50,279 --> 00:17:55,440
imposing their will. And and that's for Kal like Kilawney, who's

381
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,599
a physical former fullback, he loves that.

382
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 4: He lows that so much.

383
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:04,839
Speaker 3: And that's been the missing component of B what you

384
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,079
football is having that truly dominant line play, and it's.

385
00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 4: Starting to assert itself. No, Cincinnati's not the best task.

386
00:18:12,839 --> 00:18:16,319
Speaker 3: It's a relatively weak defensive unit, but their offense is

387
00:18:16,319 --> 00:18:19,839
pretty good. Their twenty first ranked running team in the country.

388
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,200
I mean Soresby has a lot to do with that.

389
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,759
He's running two quarterback yards. But b Way, you limited

390
00:18:25,799 --> 00:18:28,079
them to eighty seven yards rushing and they got to

391
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,039
running games not a factor. They got two good running backs.

392
00:18:31,079 --> 00:18:32,440
Let's give credits so that he has the guys that

393
00:18:32,519 --> 00:18:34,440
can run the football. That's how b Way you won

394
00:18:34,519 --> 00:18:37,839
this football game. And you haven't been able to say

395
00:18:37,839 --> 00:18:40,599
that about b WAYU football. So for a guy like

396
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,720
Kilawney having that ingredient come forth, and he said that

397
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:47,680
in the post game. I think he says this in

398
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,839
the interview. I know he said in the post game.

399
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,559
We went in a lot of different ways, and this

400
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,480
was kind of a new way where b Way he's

401
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,039
running and just wearing out a defensive front and they

402
00:18:59,079 --> 00:19:02,519
can't do anything about out a dominating the time of possession.

403
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:05,839
That was a kind of a breakthrough moment. And to

404
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,680
be able to do that late in the year, that's

405
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,880
a progression point. That's something you want to hang your

406
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,680
hat on. And anyway, I thought it was notable that

407
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,000
he let off talking about the physicality because I think

408
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:20,440
that was absolutely the underlying story of the win against

409
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,359
Cincinnati and against TCU.

410
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:24,319
Speaker 1: Look, going back to your point what you said earlier

411
00:19:24,319 --> 00:19:27,160
before than any gritty started LJ Martin right being more

412
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,079
physical In the game against Texas Tech, ten carries thirty

413
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,680
five yards. I think you only had one carry in

414
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,000
the second yet, and in first that's how look that

415
00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:36,559
he wasn't confident. But then backs it up against TCU

416
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,839
twenty one carries, eighty eight yards, four point two yards

417
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,359
per attempt, a touchdown right in along of ten. And

418
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,079
then you go to Cincinnati on the road, right, and

419
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:47,839
I know a lot of people are gonna say we're

420
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,519
on their best one was against Iowa State. To me,

421
00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:52,759
I think the Cincinnati win is more valuable because it's

422
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:55,319
late in November. They fumbled the back last year. It's

423
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,440
really tough. Cincinnati's coming off of a losst to Arizona.

424
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,240
That's their senior night. Never they have everything to play

425
00:20:01,279 --> 00:20:03,480
for g Man. And then LJ backed it up with

426
00:20:03,559 --> 00:20:06,720
thirty two attempts, two hundred and twenty two yards, six

427
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,160
point nine almost seven yards per carry, and two Tuddy's

428
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,839
the one the ice the game. Look, I mean that

429
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,480
speaks to yeah, confident, and I agree. I think he

430
00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:16,319
wasn't confident.

431
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: And usually when you have those types of stats, you

432
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,039
can throw in like some seventy yard gimmes.

433
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 4: Now you didn't have that.

434
00:20:23,279 --> 00:20:27,559
Speaker 3: You just had a consistent running where he's making six

435
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,759
seven yards of pop.

436
00:20:29,079 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 4: To me, that's even better.

437
00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 3: That's better than tossing in the seventy yard scampers where

438
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,640
the depense completely breaks down. That's a consistent foot on

439
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:45,839
your throat, boom, wearing you down, hand on the forehead.

440
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,319
Uh uh sorry, guys, we're wearing you down. And it's

441
00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:52,160
effective and it was absolutely effective against the Bearcats, has

442
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:52,759
been effective.

443
00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: Got to make it effective against UCF. If Chase doesn't go,

444
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,799
you don't want to get Bear two dinged up? Who

445
00:20:57,799 --> 00:20:59,519
else will you rely on? When you go back to LJ.

446
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,359
Bill cal back at over what I think over thirty

447
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,759
five touches. But that's what you want to think, is

448
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:07,039
you want that guy leading number two?

449
00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 4: Kilane?

450
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: Well, how did you come out health wise? How's the

451
00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:14,319
team health? The TV broadcast showed bear grimacing. How is

452
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:14,960
everyone doing?

453
00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, everybody's sore. I mean, you know, Chase has got

454
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,680
got I mean, obviously he couldn't go in the game,

455
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,960
but we've we've got to make a decision on what's

456
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,799
the best thing for him this week, and so you know,

457
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,519
we'll evaluate that as we get closer towards the middle

458
00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:34,720
of the week. Bear's fine. You know, the guys, guys

459
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,920
are tough and LJ those guys are. They're banged up.

460
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,480
Everybody should be banged up right now in college football,

461
00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:43,440
going into the last week, last game of the season,

462
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,720
so the regular season, So then we don't expect anyone

463
00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:49,359
to be one hundred percent until we get to Saturday.

464
00:21:50,039 --> 00:21:51,920
But we're gonna have to practice hard this week. We

465
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,880
got we got some sparring to do and get this

466
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,000
team ready for for this weekend. But yeah, guys are

467
00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:01,200
banged up. That that's it's a game of football. That's

468
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,480
why we anticipate that happening, and we know it's going

469
00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:07,920
to be a painful process and.

470
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:08,599
Speaker 4: Part of it.

471
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 5: So proud of the guys though that then there don't

472
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,279
find find a way to get back and get healthy

473
00:22:13,319 --> 00:22:15,440
and be ready to roll. But mindset's got to be

474
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,559
focused on working hard and getting it done.

475
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,319
Speaker 1: If you want to know what Klaani is talking about

476
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,359
and the most important thing. He's always going to mention

477
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,480
that first, like you just mentioned with this opening statement.

478
00:22:24,839 --> 00:22:27,240
So what I got from that, g Man Bear's fine

479
00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:28,160
Chase is not.

480
00:22:29,519 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 4: I don't want to see Chase out there.

481
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: They need to do I I'm with you. I don't

482
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,599
want to see Chase out there. If you say you

483
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,720
have to make a decision, he should not be should

484
00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:36,960
even dresses the question?

485
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I b way you can get this game without Chase.

486
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,720
For Roberts, I believe uh, and you need him fully healthy.

487
00:22:44,759 --> 00:22:46,920
He's got to be good to go against sex attack.

488
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,440
And even though UCUP has a lot to play for,

489
00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:51,680
I think it's the type of game and you see

490
00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:53,759
us kind of on the brink where it b way.

491
00:22:53,799 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 4: You sets out to fourteen, nothing lead that they might

492
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:57,319
just quit.

493
00:22:59,240 --> 00:22:59,759
Speaker 1: I agree with you.

494
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,519
Speaker 3: We've had some unfortunate injuries. Sorry see a peace out?

495
00:23:05,799 --> 00:23:10,000
Don I think that could happen come Saturday. I don't

496
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,759
know what the team culture is. Well you see it,

497
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:14,519
but i'd imagine it it's it's crinkling a bit.

498
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,279
Speaker 1: Well, this is your last opportunity in fifteen and look

499
00:23:17,319 --> 00:23:19,240
this is again you want to put you want to

500
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,119
step on the throw and take give them no sign.

501
00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:24,119
And again I agree with you. Chase should not play

502
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,279
this game. He should not dress. Look, Parker Kingston has

503
00:23:27,319 --> 00:23:30,279
elevated himself, I think into becoming wide receiver number one

504
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,799
next year. And if not, he's pretty damn close. To

505
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,119
my opinion, Parker's had a phenomenal year. A lot of

506
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,200
that has been able to benefit from Chase, but PK

507
00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:38,759
has been up there. I mean he's had over two

508
00:23:38,839 --> 00:23:41,839
hundred yard games this season. He's over five hundred yards

509
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,279
on the season. Like I remember we had Austin Colly

510
00:23:44,279 --> 00:23:45,799
on the show. He's like, I think Parker's gonna step

511
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,960
up and have a big role. That was anticipated because

512
00:23:48,039 --> 00:23:50,000
Keilan Marrion went in to the portal, went to Miami

513
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,359
and have to go check he might be having a

514
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,079
better season to kiling. But I want to fact check

515
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,680
that before I just make a declarative statement. But look,

516
00:23:57,839 --> 00:24:00,880
Parker should be able to be your why receiver one.

517
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,119
You should be at a show case Reggie Fishneck. Now,

518
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,400
I don't know necessarily if he's gonna play g Man.

519
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,079
We'll get to this question later. The teasy a little

520
00:24:07,079 --> 00:24:10,200
bit Kline was asked about red shirts. Reggie is played

521
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,880
in four games, so he's played in four games, so

522
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,119
you don't know if he's gonna if they play on

523
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,519
red shirting him, so he might not play. So okay, Ken,

524
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,119
exactly right. You want to reserve that so you don't

525
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,759
play him. So now you got Jojo, Now you got Parker.

526
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,559
You mentioned Tiger. Can Tiger step up? Who else can

527
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:29,160
step up from me? Can Carson Ryan?

528
00:24:29,519 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 4: Like?

529
00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be at a reno? Can Cody Hagen?

530
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 4: Like?

531
00:24:32,039 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. Some of these guys are gonna

532
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,079
have to step up and make plays because Chase should

533
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,880
not go. It's it's not even a question. Chase Roberts

534
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,559
should not play in this game. But you have enough

535
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:42,599
in that wide receiver room, in tight end room, and

536
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,200
with l J. Martin and Bear in the run game

537
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,440
where they should not play. So look, they do have

538
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,720
a big decision. So I think Chase should rest up

539
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:54,640
because what's more important going and winning the Toddle game.

540
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,599
Even if you beat UCF by a field goal, which

541
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,640
I don't think they will think he'll beat him by more,

542
00:24:58,839 --> 00:25:02,359
It's better to have Chase what healthy and have him

543
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,839
sixty percent healthy. Don't play him in this game. I'm

544
00:25:04,839 --> 00:25:06,799
with you, g Man, no doubt about it. Let's get

545
00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:09,920
to one final comment before we go to break Kalana.

546
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,119
You said and your opening remarks that momentum was built.

547
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:15,799
What areas have you seen that being built here down

548
00:25:15,799 --> 00:25:16,240
the stretch?

549
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:17,319
Speaker 4: Yeah?

550
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,279
Speaker 5: All of it interesting. Physical momentum is what I care

551
00:25:20,279 --> 00:25:25,319
about the most. You know that the guys were tough

552
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,200
and strong. I mean, you know that that's that's where

553
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,200
you can you can always control that. You can't control

554
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,839
what happens to the ball. And and even if if

555
00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:36,200
you know mistakes are made, we've got to always bank

556
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,839
on the fact that we're committed to going through a

557
00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:42,079
little bit of pain and sacrificing so we can get

558
00:25:42,079 --> 00:25:44,640
a win. And so that's the thing that I'll start with.

559
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,079
That everything else kind of works. I mean, you you

560
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,960
named them all right there. I was proud of the

561
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,680
way the guys who were able to do some things

562
00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:56,200
and you know, create turnovers, take care of the football,

563
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,480
run the ball, be physical downhill, and also run the

564
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,359
ball outside. We were able to possess the ball. I mean,

565
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,119
Arod doesn't get enough credit for what he's able to

566
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,480
do as an offensive coordinator. I'm to keep telling you

567
00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:11,160
that he's a dream if you're a defensive coordinator to

568
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,839
have because he compliments, doesn't have an ego, and he's

569
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,480
all about getting a win. So I love the way

570
00:26:18,519 --> 00:26:22,240
that the coordinators will work together. That's with a Rod,

571
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:25,480
Jay and k Pop and and the way they were

572
00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:29,160
able to work in harmony. It's reflecting the way the players,

573
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,160
you know, work together as a team in all three phases.

574
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: Look, it's a dream to have a Rod. If you

575
00:26:35,759 --> 00:26:38,359
have to scout against him as a defense, he's a nightmare.

576
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,519
Fans could like or dislike. It doesn't matter. Aaron Rodderck

577
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:43,799
has earned his money. Look, guys, I think they're gonna

578
00:26:43,799 --> 00:26:47,200
be people who want a Rod. What is offensive coordinator elsewhere?

579
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,000
Maybe a head coach. He's earned that opportunity. What he

580
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,160
showcased with the bear ten wins. Gim man, I know

581
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,480
we got to get the break. We gotta finish up

582
00:26:54,519 --> 00:26:56,920
on this last comment. I'll let you finished up. Ten wins,

583
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,920
though ten and one double digit win seasons are hard

584
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,920
to come by. Offensive showcase that with the true freshman

585
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,519
who's eighteen.

586
00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:05,559
Speaker 3: A Rod's progression as a football coach. I don't think

587
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,960
is a story that's told enough. This is a guy

588
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,880
that crashed and burned at Utah. He was let go,

589
00:27:12,279 --> 00:27:15,720
he got his position taken away from him, kind of

590
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,480
went went back, went back on staff, just like okay whatever.

591
00:27:19,559 --> 00:27:21,279
Then he gets hired on it. B wau nas an

592
00:27:21,319 --> 00:27:27,119
offensive coordinator, he's under Grimes rises up and he's worked

593
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,119
himself back up.

594
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 4: This is a redemption story.

595
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,559
Speaker 3: And what he's been able to formulate this year and

596
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,079
produce what bear Bachmeier at quarterback.

597
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,319
Speaker 4: Is, it's phenomenal.

598
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,079
Speaker 3: It's one of the better stories on the team is

599
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:46,119
just a Rod descending and not making it the first

600
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,480
time and coming back and being the quality coordinator he

601
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:49,240
is now.

602
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 4: No one's criticizing Aaron Roderick. I mean, there's some stupid.

603
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 3: Fans out there that are still on the a Rod

604
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,759
hatred train. I think those guys, Woul could criticize any

605
00:27:58,799 --> 00:28:01,400
offensive coordinator ever, but you're not hearing that.

606
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 4: This year he's been phenomenal.

607
00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:05,799
Speaker 3: This is this last year and he's validated himself many

608
00:28:05,839 --> 00:28:06,599
many times over.

609
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,599
Speaker 1: In my opinion, he definitely has validated himself, going to

610
00:28:09,599 --> 00:28:11,519
continue to do so. A couple of games left a

611
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:13,240
lot more football to be played. But that was your

00:29:06,799 --> 00:29:12,000
should Chase Roberts playing this game? G man, you picked

634
00:29:12,039 --> 00:29:13,599

636
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 4: I liked it. I heard on the radio recently. Okay,

637
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,319
that's a good tone. That was in my mind.

638
00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: So I picked up what's the name of the band,

639
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:28,480
Allison Chains Alison Chains one of the grunge groups.

640
00:29:28,519 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 3: I mean it was them, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam. They

641
00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:36,160
all came out basically the same time. That was kind

642
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,039
of the nineties music, and I liked all of them.

669
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,200
g man, let's get back to the sound. Let's continue

670
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,039
with Kilanie Sataki as he addressed the media yesterday in

671
00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:47,279
preparation for this big game against you CF let's get

672
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:50,480
to number four, Kalani. Second week in a row, your

673
00:30:50,519 --> 00:30:52,960
defensive line was named the Big Toeal defensive line of

674
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,720
the week. How well have they been playing, especially as

675
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,039
you're in the end of the season stretch right now.

676
00:31:00,279 --> 00:31:03,119
Speaker 5: I mean, the guys are understanding a lot of what

677
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,480
they can do up front. We have a lot of

678
00:31:05,519 --> 00:31:08,279
young guys that are still learning and growing in the

679
00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:12,160
in the system. But it's also good to see leaders

680
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,960
like you know, Keanu and JT. Those guys do some

681
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:18,039
wonderful things up front. And then you combine that with

682
00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:22,880
what Ville and you know, Body and Clegg and Ta

683
00:31:23,039 --> 00:31:25,240
Seeley and Nucy all those guys in the mix. Man,

684
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,799
you get a bunch of guys with a nissi and

685
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:32,240
and you know, those guys are all playing great football

686
00:31:32,279 --> 00:31:35,119
and they're doing it at a high level. And I

687
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,839
think I think you have to kind of look at

688
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,079
their coaches too. They they do some really good things together, man.

689
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,759
And then it's been nice And I know a lot

690
00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:45,319
of the attention goes to the linebackers, but there's there's

691
00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:48,319
people in front of the linebackers making stuff happen and

692
00:31:48,359 --> 00:31:51,640
getting pressure on the quarterback and causing interceptions things like that.

693
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:54,359
Those guys have been able to create some chaos and

694
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,160
that's been nice to depend on.

695
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,519
Speaker 1: Definitely been nice to depend on.

696
00:31:58,920 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 4: Gmail.

697
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: What do you love the most about this defensive line

698
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:03,920
down to stretch Vasa, I feel like he's played the

699
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,039
best he has all season.

700
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think his next comment's going to touch

701
00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:10,440
on a Nis Purcell, which I thought it was really

702
00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:12,799
notable that he was playing with that club on his

703
00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:15,000
hand and essentially playing with one arm, and they still

704
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:18,640
felt he was effected enough to play. But defensive ends

705
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,200
are the story. I think Keatanovas has had his two

706
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,880
best games of the year. He's made He's starting to

707
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,000
make that impact everyone wanted to see. But those how

708
00:32:29,079 --> 00:32:32,440
they work and progress these defensive ends is going to

709
00:32:32,519 --> 00:32:35,960
be very fascinating from this time into next year. I

710
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,039
still think one of these guys, and I think it's

711
00:32:38,079 --> 00:32:42,160
gonna be Nucy Tamoy Pays probably going to be linebacker.

712
00:32:42,599 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: Really think.

713
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 3: I think he could be the next Jack Kelly. That's

714
00:32:47,759 --> 00:32:49,440
what I'm kind of seeing from him. I think he

715
00:32:49,559 --> 00:32:52,160
has that kind of ability tell s was just a

716
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,720
pure Russian man. Has he come on strong the last

717
00:32:54,759 --> 00:32:58,279
two games he looks really really good. There's a play

718
00:32:58,279 --> 00:33:02,599
against uh TCU where he shed his his block and

719
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:06,200
caught the running back go in the opposite direction from

720
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,000
behind for one yard loss. Man, that's good stuff. That

721
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,160
is really really good stuff. He's a lot of times

722
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,319
when you get these transfers from Texas like the reason

723
00:33:16,319 --> 00:33:18,039
in their back is they.

724
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 4: Weren't that good.

725
00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:23,079
Speaker 3: Nah, not was good enough to play at Texas. And

726
00:33:23,119 --> 00:33:25,000
it's a blessing the b way he has. I mean,

727
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:28,440
he's establishing himself. Klegg's been sold all year. It's gonna

728
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,240
be fascinating to see how they rotate and how creative

729
00:33:31,279 --> 00:33:34,160
they can get. And it gives you options, man, it

730
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,039
gives you a lot of options up front. I think

731
00:33:36,079 --> 00:33:37,599
the real key is to get all of them to

732
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,640
stay within the program. Now, uh, they're gonna get a

733
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,440
boost and I l but that's my prediction. I wish

734
00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:46,359
Ben was here to to say if I'm crazy or not.

735
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,400
But I really think telmoy Peyo could be a Jack Kelly.

736
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,640
I think he has that kind of ability. Maybe he'll

737
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,279
pay well Jack Kelly plays quite a bit.

738
00:33:57,359 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah it's different, but I mean, yeah, I think the

739
00:34:02,079 --> 00:34:04,160
upside for Nucy is better than Jack Kelly. And here's

740
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,319
here's why Nucy's starting at defensive end and is coming

741
00:34:07,359 --> 00:34:09,840
off the edge fast once he learns how to come

742
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,440
down and look, he played both in high school, but

743
00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:14,599
to be in the middle linebacker position, once he learns

744
00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:17,719
how to read defenses, knows what's going on. Dude, you're

745
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,599
doing at the defensive line level, once you become the

746
00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:21,639
signal caller in the middle, because now college they got

747
00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:23,800
the dot and you could communicate that. I don't think

748
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,960
her takes off. Look I'm not Ben. I didn't play,

749
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,639
but I think Ben would agree with you. He's got

750
00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:28,280
a bright future.

751
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 3: I want to give a lot of love to Body

752
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,960
schoon Over. He was a high, highly regarded recruit out

753
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,679
of high school. He just wasn't really anywhere for two years.

754
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:39,039
It's like this guy ever gonna pan out? And this

755
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:40,400
year he's really come on.

756
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: He's playing a big, big role, no estate head back

757
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,360
to back sacks in that game.

758
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,159
Speaker 3: He's kind of that hybrid defensive tackle defensive end. He's

759
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:50,880
put on the weight, he's found his niche and he's

760
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,280
being very impactful out there. So promps to Body the

761
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,679
American four kids always pan out at b way, it

762
00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:59,559
seems like they really do.

763
00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:02,679
Speaker 1: Clet looks great. Their coach very ryan.

764
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 3: Coach Beams one of my favorite coaches at the high

765
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,320
school level, and he's yeah, Chase Roberts obviously, and.

766
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,039
Speaker 1: They posted a picture of the cave Man. It was

767
00:35:11,079 --> 00:35:14,559
like seven or eight of them, you know, playing for BYU,

768
00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:16,360
So you're not wrong. Phenomenal group anyway.

769
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 3: Clawnae gets really really excited when he talks physicality on

770
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,480
that defensive front, and for good reason.

771
00:35:21,599 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: A hundred percent let's get to let's get the number

772
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,760
five g Man alluded to it a little bit. Anissi

773
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,760
Purcell came back. He's got that club on the hand, though,

774
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:33,239
how is that limiting him if at all? Any And

775
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,480
what's his presence like now that he's back in the lineup.

776
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 5: I think he can only pick his nose with one hand.

777
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,480
Now that that sucks, you know, But he's uh, he's effective.

778
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,719
I mean, you can't use the club as a weapon,

779
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,599
but I'm proud that our our training room and our

780
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:52,639
doctors could figure out away from the keep playing. But

781
00:35:53,199 --> 00:35:58,239
he's uh, yeah, he's effective enough. Unfortunately, can't use that hand,

782
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,360
but he can use the rest of his body and

783
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,000
and you know, to take up some space. But then

784
00:36:03,519 --> 00:36:05,519
the club is definitely helping him. Just be on the

785
00:36:05,519 --> 00:36:07,400
field and stay stay safe.

786
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 3: Can't pick his nose, g Man, I tend to get

787
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,400
sour and I don't feel like people listen to me

788
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,039
a lot. An easy Percell's really really good and not

789
00:36:18,159 --> 00:36:21,000
having him in the lineup has hurt. And he's so

790
00:36:21,159 --> 00:36:23,639
good now that he's essentially playing with one arm and

791
00:36:23,679 --> 00:36:27,960
he's still getting reps. He's been very, very good. Everyone's like, y'all,

792
00:36:28,079 --> 00:36:31,159
justin Kirkland, justin no An easy per sells the guy, Yeah,

793
00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:34,719
that's your third defensive tackle, and maybe they can get

794
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,880
that club off. I kind of suspect it's going to

795
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,239
be there for the rest of the year, at least

796
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,599
until the Big twelve championship.

797
00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:44,519
Speaker 4: Game at least. But he's been really really good for

798
00:36:44,599 --> 00:36:45,119
this team.

799
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 3: And he made an impact just taking up reps.

800
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,199
Speaker 4: The thing about guys, it doesn't.

801
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 3: Really matter how many plays you make and how effective

802
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,280
just being able to be there and taking up reps.

803
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 4: The body schoon over doesn't have to that that.

804
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,679
Speaker 3: John tomoy Peu doesn't have to or that's valuable, or

805
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,920
he can give them a rest and the level play doesn't.

806
00:37:08,679 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 4: Drop that much.

807
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: That's that's the beauty.

808
00:37:11,079 --> 00:37:14,639
Speaker 3: Of having a really good rotation at the defensive tackle position.

809
00:37:15,039 --> 00:37:17,079
So him being in there makes count a ton of

810
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:20,239
bossa better and more effective. It makes everybody more effective

811
00:37:20,559 --> 00:37:23,719
because he's given them rest and he's he's helping them

812
00:37:24,159 --> 00:37:26,960
get their wind and be as effective as possible when

813
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
they come in. That's the real beauty of having a

814
00:37:29,039 --> 00:37:31,840
Nis Purcell back in the lineup. So props to the

815
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,840
training staff. Hopefully we see him out there for the

816
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,440
rest of the year because that's a big thing. It's

817
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,079
a big thing for this bwayed defense.

818
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: Look when he was out, you could definitely tell there

819
00:37:40,559 --> 00:37:43,320
was a some issues on the defensive line because, like

820
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,440
you said, they rotate, they got a bunch of guys

821
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,239
down there, and look they got the guys talented on

822
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,280
the edge and to Celia Khanna, Nucy Thalabao like those guys.

823
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,199
And but when Kano needs a break, when JT needs

824
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,400
a break, like Anisy's that next guy that steps up.

825
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,960
And until he got dinged, you know, he's been playing phenomenal.

826
00:37:59,039 --> 00:38:01,480
So yeah, he can't pick his knows they can't use

827
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,480
the club as a weapon. Thanks Kiline for letting us

828
00:38:03,519 --> 00:38:06,079
know I would hope not. He don't go slinging out

829
00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:08,360
there and knocking someone out. Look, I've talked to some guys.

830
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,880
They said they can't feel anything if even if it's hit,

831
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,719
but you still it's not a weapon. So I love that,

832
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,920
Love that Kline clarified that for its number six Kilane.

833
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,079
I know you're going to honor a bunch of seniors

834
00:38:19,079 --> 00:38:22,360
on Saturday. What does this particular class mean to.

835
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 4: You as leadership?

836
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,079
Speaker 5: The overall buy in and then the willingness to bring

837
00:38:30,119 --> 00:38:33,400
their brothers along, you know, just just I look at

838
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,960
all these guys and then then I mean, it's awesome.

839
00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:39,559
I'm so proud of them and proud of what they've

840
00:38:39,639 --> 00:38:43,239
been able to build here and the culture that's thriving

841
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,079
with them, and the autonomy that they've been given. But

842
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:50,079
the ability to take that even further and you know

843
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,320
it have it reach out to the fan base and

844
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,719
to the community. It's just super impressive, and I'm just

845
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,559
proud of all of them.

846
00:38:56,599 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 3: Man.

847
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,159
Speaker 5: I just I love what they've been able to do,

848
00:38:59,679 --> 00:39:02,599
you know, on the football field, but more proud of

849
00:39:02,599 --> 00:39:05,000
what they've been able to accomplish in the classroom. We've

850
00:39:05,039 --> 00:39:07,960
had record GPAs as a team because of them and

851
00:39:08,039 --> 00:39:10,000
what their example that they said, and then what they've

852
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,480
been able to do in the community. On the field

853
00:39:12,519 --> 00:39:15,280
stuff has been amazing too. So they've they've had a

854
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,159
lot of wins and they've ushered us into the you know,

855
00:39:18,199 --> 00:39:20,639
into the Big twelve and had some success now the

856
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,760
last couple of years, and we just got to finish

857
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,639
a strong for them.

858
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: Look, if you've been to score that long, you better

859
00:39:26,679 --> 00:39:28,639
be boosting the team up with GPAs. That's all I

860
00:39:28,639 --> 00:39:31,760
got to say. I'm joking. Look, yeah, I mean, look

861
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,400
at the senior class gym, and I'm gonna read the

862
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,039
names for you just so you know. Talon Alfrey, Maury Bomba,

who got his year back right, Jayden dunlap Ethan Erickson,

864
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:46,360
Will Farron g Man, Garrison Grimes, Cole Hagen, Isaiah Jada

transfer from Colorado, Jack Sach Kelly Right, Whalon Lapuahu, Austin

866
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:56,760
lehu'sa logo litoy Enich now and he way kafusiofok like

867
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:01,840
he's there. Chase Roberts, Carson, Ryan John Tom Boo, Tanner Wall,

868
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,480
the Great Wall of Provo, as they call him, those

869
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,519
are your eighteen seniors.

870
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:09,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good senior class. They're gonna miss every

871
00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:11,239
single one of those guys. Yeah yeah, yeah, you didn't

872
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,360
name one guy that I thought, Oh, no big deal.

873
00:40:14,119 --> 00:40:15,559
Speaker 4: Even a Jayden Dent dumblap.

874
00:40:15,559 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 3: He's given some good minutes, he's given some good reps

875
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:25,760
out there. The team culture strong. I was thinking the

876
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,519
two thousand and eight Utah team was a team I

877
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,239
watched and I never thought they were that good, but

878
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,599
they just found a way to win games that whole year.

879
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,119
Then they get to the Sugar Bowl just womp on

880
00:40:38,199 --> 00:40:41,320
Alabama's Like, Wow, maybe they were that good. I think

881
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,880
the way is a lot like that two thousand and

882
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:44,679
eight Utah team.

883
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 4: I really do.

884
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,079
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of similarities or it just works.

885
00:40:49,199 --> 00:40:52,360
Guys are just understand what the team is, they understand

886
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,159
how they do things, they believe in each other, they

887
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,039
keep on doing it. I still love the quote that

888
00:40:58,119 --> 00:41:01,679
Chase Roberts gave after the Iowa State game where it's

889
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,360
just like, hey, people, this is what we do.

890
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 4: People.

891
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 3: It doesn't look pretty, but we don't give up. We

892
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,639
find ways and we're gonna beat you. We're gonna beat

893
00:41:11,639 --> 00:41:15,880
you every time. That's the way football. The culture and

894
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,000
identity is very very strong on this team, and it's

895
00:41:18,039 --> 00:41:20,400
born out to a ten and one record on the year.

896
00:41:21,159 --> 00:41:25,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely showing out and the record is showing Look,

897
00:41:25,559 --> 00:41:27,880
Dave and Gimmy, you might have to correct me, and

898
00:41:28,079 --> 00:41:30,079
I might need to get the stats better and prepare

899
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,800
a little bit better. But this is the second time,

900
00:41:34,519 --> 00:41:35,960
well not six, excuse me, the fourth time in the

901
00:41:36,039 --> 00:41:38,159
colonies to tac Era. Maybe fifth, if I'm correct mine,

902
00:41:38,199 --> 00:41:41,679
be fourth that he's had double digit wins, ten wins,

903
00:41:41,679 --> 00:41:45,239
and if I could go back correctly, so twenty one

904
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,000
because that was a year with Jaron Hall, and then

905
00:41:48,039 --> 00:41:52,320
twenty twenty four now twenty five, so four that I

906
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,760
mean those you can't you can't take wins like that

907
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:01,960
for granted, he can't you. And look, you might not

908
00:42:02,079 --> 00:42:03,760
like the way a Rod may call a play at

909
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,559
a certain moment. He might not be the best. Look,

910
00:42:05,599 --> 00:42:07,800
no one's perfect. You might not like that Klannie went

911
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,920
for it on a fourth and seven with Sam vander Harr.

912
00:42:10,119 --> 00:42:12,840
You might not like that he maybe have taken points

913
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,000
when you wanted him to go for a Look, four

914
00:42:15,039 --> 00:42:18,039
ten win seasons, he's been a coach for ten years.

915
00:42:18,519 --> 00:42:21,360
So out of his tenure spin he's had double digit

916
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,119
wins four times. So six years he did not first

917
00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:27,119
year was you know, second year seess me didn't go

918
00:42:27,119 --> 00:42:29,280
to a bowl game. That was a tough yard remember

919
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,880
that twenty seventeen. But look what he's done since then. He's,

920
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,519
like you said, he's built a fine culture. So Kalani

921
00:42:34,599 --> 00:42:37,599
deserves all the credit in the world. Number seven with

922
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,400
Tiger Bachmayer's role. How has he been as a teammate Kialanie.

923
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,559
There's a lot of attention on Bear.

924
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,159
Speaker 5: I think, I mean, he's been amazing just with his

925
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,079
leadership because he works hard all the time. He's not

926
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,440
you know, I think when you look at the stats,

927
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,760
they don't jump out of you. But he does all

928
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,760
the little things right. And there's things that he does

929
00:42:58,519 --> 00:43:00,880
on the field that that that that you don't really

930
00:43:01,079 --> 00:43:04,239
show up on the stats. You know, he blocks runs,

931
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,159
right routes, and he does all the little things right.

932
00:43:07,199 --> 00:43:10,079
I mean he's not perfect, but but uh you know,

933
00:43:10,199 --> 00:43:12,760
but man, he's close to it, and he's he's a

934
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,239
perfect teammate. So and it helps that he has a

935
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,000
little brother, you know, playing under center, so he's been

936
00:43:19,039 --> 00:43:22,280
amazing for us, and you know, we it's just been

937
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,800
good to see him thriving the culture that we have

938
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,639
and for him to be a big brother, not just

939
00:43:27,639 --> 00:43:30,119
to to Bear but to the others.

940
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's definitely not perfect.

941
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:33,159
Speaker 2: G Man.

942
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:34,760
Speaker 1: You probably saw this during the game. I know I

943
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:39,000
saw it. Bessie Sataki was yelling, yelling at him. So

944
00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:40,079
what did I tell you to do?

945
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:40,679
Speaker 4: So?

946
00:43:41,119 --> 00:43:43,639
Speaker 1: Look, not everybody's gonna get tape right. Some people are

947
00:43:43,679 --> 00:43:45,800
gonna mess it up. But yeah, and look, when your

948
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,519
brother's overshadowing you, maybe like that, and that's what the

949
00:43:48,599 --> 00:43:50,840
nature of the position at quarterback and when you're not

950
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,679
making the plays, that's gonna be the case. Like g

951
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,800
Man brought up his numbers earlier in the first segment

952
00:43:56,039 --> 00:43:59,119
here in this first hour, six receptions he's had all

953
00:43:59,199 --> 00:44:01,840
year for fifty three y eight point eight yards per

954
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,280
catch and hasn't gotten an end zone yet. You've been

955
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,639
waiting to see that. But g Man, sounds like you're

956
00:44:07,639 --> 00:44:10,199
confident that Tiger could step up this game against UCF

957
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,639
and that brother or brother connection. You gotta get him

958
00:44:12,639 --> 00:44:15,639
one touchdown at least before the season's over. You got

959
00:44:15,639 --> 00:44:16,199
to have one.

960
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, someone's got to step up because we're assuming Chase

961
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,800
Roberts is going to be out and yeah, and I

962
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,440
don't want to be all mad if he's out there.

963
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,960
Maybe the hamstrings is hurt illed and he's.

964
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:26,679
Speaker 4: Ready to go. I don't know.

965
00:44:27,559 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 3: It's really hard to diagnose those, but I'm I'd be

966
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,800
willing to bet we're not gonna see Chase Roberts come Saturday.

967
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,039
Speaker 4: And hopefully Bear can.

968
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 3: Just just stay after practic, just throw to those guys,

969
00:44:37,639 --> 00:44:41,039
get on that same page, get that connection. You think

970
00:44:41,079 --> 00:44:43,440
Tiger would be the obvious choice. Those guys have gotta

971
00:44:44,679 --> 00:44:47,239
I'm just guessing they've thrown around the ball quite a

972
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,880
bit and they know each other's movements quite a bit.

973
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,559
So so hopefully Tiger can become that guy. I think

974
00:44:52,559 --> 00:44:54,920
he has ability. I think he can be good and

975
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,599
hopefully we see that. And and Cody Hagen. We haven't

976
00:44:57,599 --> 00:44:59,840
had the breakout from Cody that I was anticipating this

977
00:45:00,119 --> 00:45:01,880
entire season. Maybe it comes.

978
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 4: I don't know.

979
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 3: I agree if you I think you probably said Rachie

980
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,280
frishnek I preserve that red shirt year. Yep, that's warranted.

981
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,760
And you just go to Parker Kington over and over

982
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,199
and over and over again. Involved Carson Ryan split him

983
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,159
out more like you did against TCU.

984
00:45:17,199 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 4: That's probably what you want to do.

985
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,519
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's options, and that's that's the good thing

986
00:45:21,519 --> 00:45:23,480
about this Bay football team is you can.

987
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 4: You can.

988
00:45:25,519 --> 00:45:28,679
Speaker 3: You can overcome an injury to a guy like Chase Roberts,

989
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,679
especially against a team like UCF who doesn't look very formidable.

990
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,679
Speaker 1: Especially on the last day of the season at home

991
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,719
Senior Day. You better overcome it. Otherwise you're gonna be

992
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,320
going very salty to the Alamobo And I feel bad

993
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,280
of who that opponent would because they would spank them

994
00:45:42,599 --> 00:45:44,800
that were the case, But don't think that will be. Look,

995
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,280
just had a two hundred yard day. Is it PK's

996
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,599
turn to have a two hundred yard date? Can Cody

997
00:45:49,599 --> 00:45:52,159
Hagen go for a hundo? We're gonna find out momentarily.

998
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,239
Last couple of things, Kalani before we let you go

999
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,360
to number eight, what is your philosophy on guys who

1000
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,519
aren't seniors that want to walk?

1001
00:46:00,159 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, I mean we did that with Chase

1002
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,039
Roberts last year, and we do that at a number of guys.

1003
00:46:05,079 --> 00:46:08,519
I mean, that's that's just a well we won't do

1004
00:46:08,519 --> 00:46:10,960
it the right way. Some guys are lucky they get

1005
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,519
to they get two senior walks and blankets and things

1006
00:46:14,559 --> 00:46:14,840
like that.

1007
00:46:15,079 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: So g Man, that is a tease for a question

1008
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,159
that he's going to be asked her momentarily about one

1009
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:21,400
l J.

1010
00:46:21,559 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 4: Martin.

1011
00:46:22,159 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think LJ. Martin is going to walk. I

1012
00:46:25,039 --> 00:46:26,639
think he's not a senior, but I think he's going

1013
00:46:26,679 --> 00:46:28,719
to be a guy that will be honored on Saturday.

1014
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,039
Speaker 4: What say you, I have no objections to that.

1015
00:46:31,199 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean if LJ deserves anything, he deserves two

1016
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,400
senior blank That guy deserves a lot for what he's

1017
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,159
been able to do. I remember prior to the season,

1018
00:46:40,159 --> 00:46:42,920
I don't think there's any way he could withstand what

1019
00:46:43,079 --> 00:46:46,320
he was going to incur uh this year. I thought

1020
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,280
he'd get hurt, and when he got went down against Ie,

1021
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,320
oh there it is. Can't come back.

1022
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 4: He was going to be hurting.

1023
00:46:52,199 --> 00:46:56,519
Speaker 3: Lack of death finally bid them him enduring and running

1024
00:46:56,639 --> 00:47:00,519
at his best against Cincinnati late in the year, where

1025
00:47:00,559 --> 00:47:02,480
he's stronger than he was at the first of the

1026
00:47:02,559 --> 00:47:05,760
year is the development I was not anticipating. So props

1027
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,519
to LJ. Martin, who I think has reached another tier

1028
00:47:09,199 --> 00:47:12,199
since that Texas Tech game, and props to the training

1029
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,519
staff and the play called whatever.

1030
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 4: I mean.

1031
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 3: Lj's season has been absolutely remarkable where he hasn't had

1032
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,559
any real help.

1033
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,679
Speaker 4: It's been all him. Yell.

1034
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: Now, we were told about the coaching staff, they had guys.

1035
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 4: We're told, no, where are they?

1036
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: Look, I'm not trying to look. I'm ben doesn't like

1037
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,719
maybe that do that and poke the bear. But I'm

1038
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,599
gonna poke the bear when you say you have guys,

1039
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,840
no pun intended. But when I don't see people, I'm

1040
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:40,519
gonna bring it up.

1041
00:47:40,599 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think Preston Rex has kind of heard. I

1042
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,360
think that's why we haven't seen him.

1043
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely because Enich now he has been taking a touch.

1044
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,159
Is not saying Enoch doesn'ts is what he is.

1045
00:47:49,199 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 4: He's not a guy that has a great burst of speed.

1046
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 3: He's just a solid kind of I don't want to

1047
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,719
say plotting because that's too negative. But we know what

1048
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,039
he is right, and these guys aren't close stelgiam No,

1049
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,400
No one's closepe.

1050
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 1: So he is on tier one. These guys might be

1051
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:06,360
on tier three.

1052
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,639
Speaker 3: Congratulations to l J. Martin for having one of the

1053
00:48:08,679 --> 00:48:12,840
best running back years in recent memory from a BWA

1054
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,159
running back, and Ways has some really really good years.

1055
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 4: Put forth by running backs, and Algie Mart's.

1056
00:48:17,639 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: Right there, says a lot with Tyler our Er, who

1057
00:48:20,039 --> 00:48:20,280
was here.

1058
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 3: I don't know top five. I'd have to top five.

1059
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,239
I think I just have to give it more historical perspective.

1060
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: But that game was top seven. That was the seventh

1061
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:27,679
best single run.

1062
00:48:28,559 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 3: Essentially, he's Harvey Unga, He's He's, He's Curtis Brown, He's

1063
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:39,360
he's uh, He's, he's Tyler Algier, He's Jamal Williams. He's

1064
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,079
right there with those guys, which is extraordinary, which is

1065
00:48:43,119 --> 00:48:44,119
why he's not coming back.

1066
00:48:44,159 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: I try to fans are getting mad at me this year,

1067
00:48:47,519 --> 00:48:50,639
next year, you mean twenty twenty sevens like, guys, he's

1068
00:48:50,639 --> 00:48:54,079
a running back, he's not a receiver. Running backs span

1069
00:48:54,199 --> 00:48:56,320
is six to eight years in NFL. Listen to me.

1070
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,920
It is the Derek Henry that you see as an anomaly.

1071
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,519
He like the that's the NFL running back stands. I

1072
00:49:01,559 --> 00:49:03,320
think it's six to eight years. What you see from

1073
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,440
Jonathan tail Like, it takes a toll on your body.

1074
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:07,519
I don't think you're gonna see more running backs. Go

1075
00:49:07,559 --> 00:49:09,400
above nine, ten eleven, Like, I don't think they stay

1076
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,039
in the league that long and something are gonna go

1077
00:49:11,079 --> 00:49:13,519
pull data from what I'm saying and showcase tes. But

1078
00:49:13,599 --> 00:49:15,519
like before it starts to wear, before you have a

1079
00:49:15,519 --> 00:49:17,760
major injury, I think you get that six eight years.

1080
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,639
If you want to extend to nine, sure, but I'll

1081
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,800
just gotta go now he's young. It's twenty twenty one,

1082
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,719
Like you're young, Go get it, do not wait. Take

1083
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,639
the bag if it's there. And I think his stock

1084
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,920
right now is the highest that it's gonna get. So

1085
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,320
you have to do it's better for yourself. And no,

1086
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,280
fans want to see you come back. They want to

1087
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,440
see number four running the backfield. No, do what's best

1088
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,039
for you, LJ. And if you declare, everybody in Kugarnation

1089
00:49:39,119 --> 00:49:41,960
will still support you, Number nine. Kialine U see Effens

1090
00:49:42,159 --> 00:49:45,400
battling for all eligibility. What are you expecting from them

1091
00:49:45,679 --> 00:49:48,960
as they're battling for their postseason lives on Saturday?

1092
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:51,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're expecting a lot.

1093
00:49:51,639 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 5: I mean we were in that position a couple of

1094
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,880
years ago, you know, and and so we know exactly

1095
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,000
what their mindset's gonna be. Lot to play for on

1096
00:50:01,039 --> 00:50:03,280
their side and also for us. And I mean, this

1097
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,519
is the simple thing is we want to win at

1098
00:50:06,519 --> 00:50:09,519
home for our fans but also for our seniors, and

1099
00:50:09,519 --> 00:50:11,760
and we won't. You know, there's a lot riding for

1100
00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:14,880
writing on it for us too, So it's a big

1101
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,440
game for both sides. And you know we're going to

1102
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:18,920
get their best shot. We just need to make sure

1103
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,079
that our shows ups as well.

1104
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: You're going to get their best shot. And I agree

1105
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,000
with Kolana. You want to make sure that yours is

1106
00:50:25,039 --> 00:50:28,960
showcase more than theirs. You can't have a leadown g man.

1107
00:50:29,159 --> 00:50:32,760
Speaker 3: They will. I'm overlooking uc UP. I don't think overlooking

1108
00:50:33,159 --> 00:50:35,800
declared them on that and I can overlook them. It's

1109
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,480
not important, but not important. But I've seen the team

1110
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,880
got to beat them by thirty that has not has

1111
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:46,239
been a faltering team. In November Bust thirty to three

1112
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:53,400
to Baylor. Really Baylor thirty to twenty seven loss versus Houston.

1113
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,039
That's not bad. But I think UCF's a lot better

1114
00:50:56,039 --> 00:50:58,320
at home than they are on the road. Got pounded

1115
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,320
by Texas Tech. Here's the game you look at. They

1116
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,039
only beat Oklahoma State seventeen fourteen.

1117
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: At homeless Yeah, that was that was Yeah.

1118
00:51:06,159 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 4: Oklahoma State's bad.

1119
00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:09,199
Speaker 1: They're really bad. I don't think they want to get

1120
00:51:09,199 --> 00:51:09,719
a conference.

1121
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 3: Really bad football team if you're only due to Oklahoma

1122
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:17,480
State seventeen fourteen at home. Yeah, and they've had some injuries.

1123
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,519
I need to look more into that. I haven't seen it, man,

1124
00:51:20,559 --> 00:51:23,159
Oklahoma States. Man, they haven't won since the first game.

1125
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:24,599
I didn't realize it was that bad.

1126
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,519
Speaker 1: No, they you know it's bad when they have one

1127
00:51:27,559 --> 00:51:28,519
to get a conference yet.

1128
00:51:28,599 --> 00:51:30,039
Speaker 4: And now I'm doing the comparative.

1129
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: That's back to back seasons that Oklahoma State hasn't won

1130
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,280
a conference. We need to fact check that, and dude,

1131
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,639
do some numbers. When was the last time Oklahoma State

1132
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,760
lost back to back, back to the back season with

1133
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:40,400
no conference wins.

1134
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State hung with Kansas State two saturdays ago.

1135
00:51:44,199 --> 00:51:46,639
Speaker 1: I mean, Avery Johnson, look, you and I were texting

1136
00:51:46,639 --> 00:51:49,039
Avery Johnson FuMB with the back in the Utah game. Like,

1137
00:51:49,199 --> 00:51:50,840
I know, people thought I was crazy, but I was like,

1138
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,440
run the ball. If they're playing softs on coverage, maybe

1139
00:51:53,559 --> 00:51:56,400
Joe Johnson could go to the house again. Look anyway,

1140
00:51:56,679 --> 00:51:58,519
Avery Johnson, struggles are throwing a football. So I just

1141
00:51:58,559 --> 00:52:00,000
think that's why they were in this team.

1142
00:52:00,039 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 3: James mentality is far elevated over that of the g Mans,

1143
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,960
and they will be ready to go. They'll take care

1144
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,480
of business. They know what they have to do. They're

1145
00:52:08,519 --> 00:52:09,079
gonna be fine.

1146
00:52:09,119 --> 00:52:10,519
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine. But you know what you need

1147
00:52:10,559 --> 00:52:13,239
to do if you need to elevate, if you get injured. Look,
