Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm grateful that they're in the Big twelve and

50
00:02:03,239 --> 00:02:05,599
that we get dead out to Orlando on occasion and

51
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,919
take take up in the Mouse and Walt Disney World, etca.

52
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: I will say this ben last year when Coognation came

53
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,080
into the Bounce House, that was by far the largest

54
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:23,080
contingency of a fan base that we have seen since

55
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:27,199
two thousand and seven when that stadium first opened up.

56
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:30,319
So we know that the Koogs can travel. Obviously, you

57
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,919
guys were able to get that victory, and as you

58
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:35,639
just mentioned, Knights are going to try to play the

59
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:38,520
role of the spoiler. They've got a lot riding on

60
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,280
the line trying to be able to get a six win.

61
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,360
It would be it would be awesome here in Scott

62
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,520
Frost's first year. And I recall when you and I

63
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,639
spoke at the beginning of the season, theirs we were

64
00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:53,039
kind of trying to try to take a peek at

65
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,360
the Big twelve there prior to the season beginning, and

66
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,879
I mentioned to you it was it was like Charlie Bucket,

67
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,840
I just found that golden ticket. So hear me out here.

68
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:06,879
We're going to continue here with this WILLI Walker trend is.

69
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,560
I feel like the Knights go in as Charlie Bucket

70
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:14,400
because nobody thought that that bucket had a chance to

71
00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:17,879
go all the way through Wonka's universe and then come

72
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,240
out on the other end. So if you'll indulge me

73
00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:24,159
with my analogy here go, that's the way the Knights

74
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:27,400
are going to be looking at it coming up, coming

75
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:28,280
up on Saturday.

76
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:31,159
Speaker 2: Well, they have some motivation, and Scott Frost is a

77
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:33,879
heck of a coach. I think he's a program builder.

78
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,080
I think he's a culture builder. Yeah, how would you

79
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,159
describe Scott Frost as he's led this team this year

80
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,719
in his second tenure at UCF.

81
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,719
Speaker 3: So the one thing you got to know about the

82
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,039
Knights coming, you know here in twenty twenty five, just

83
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:52,840
ravaged with injuries on the defensive line, on the offensive line,

84
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:56,879
the quarterback position. Davin Jackson, who has been the starter

85
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,080
for the majority of the year, he has not been

86
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,080
at one hundred percent. The Oklahoma State game just this

87
00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:05,599
past weekend, he was a warrior there in that second half.

88
00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:09,479
Nights are down fourteen to nothing, They're going into intermission.

89
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,919
It's senior night. You got twenty five seniors, and you know,

90
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,480
there was a wake up call at halftime, not just

91
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:19,120
for the offense, but the defense as well. They get

92
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,240
the ball to start the third quarter, hit on an

93
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:24,720
eighty three yard pass play to tight end Dylan Wade,

94
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:27,160
and you're back. You're back in the game. And then

95
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:29,319
that fourth quarter the Knights were able to come up

96
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:32,360
with two big drives, one of which would tie the

97
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:34,800
game as they would score on a fourth and two

98
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:39,040
another touchdown to Dylan Wade and then the fuel goal.

99
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,879
By no way, ruellis to win things. So that that

100
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,639
brought a lot of good spirits obviously into the locker room.

101
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:50,319
And the one thing that I can say about Scott

102
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:53,920
Frost and even going back when he was here in seventeen,

103
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,319
sixteen and seventeen, was he is putting a stamp in

104
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,839
a culture within the pro You know, going into this season,

105
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:04,839
I think as a Knight fan, you would have been

106
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:07,040
happy to go five hundred. I think that would have

107
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,120
exceeded expectation. So the fact that they're in this position

108
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,319
to potentially get that sixth win this is this is

109
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,120
a huge deal, especially based off all the injuries and

110
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,879
then you know, I'm sure you guys heard about Sean Clark,

111
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,079
the offensive line coach at the beginning of the season

112
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:26,959
who passed away suddenly. That that has a huge ripple effect,

113
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:30,120
you know, within your program. So the Knights, They've had

114
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,839
a lot of adversity. We've gotten a couple of licks.

115
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:36,160
Obviously Texas Tech Baylor got us pretty good as well.

116
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,759
But the fight continues, and I can tell you that

117
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,120
these guys in this locker room they continue to play

118
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,120
with Scott Frost. So that's a that's extremely promising.

119
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,079
Speaker 1: Do you U se have Knights upgraded? Right? I mean

120
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:47,879
to a degree?

121
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,759
Speaker 2: I mean Gus mals On leaving and uh, Scott Frost

122
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,160
coming in. I know Florida State struggled a little bit

123
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:57,360
to uh to to win football games this season?

124
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: Uh?

125
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,319
Speaker 2: Does does the collective fan base feel like Da've upgraded

126
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,759
from the prior era.

127
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,959
Speaker 3: Being able to take a look back at it now

128
00:06:07,079 --> 00:06:10,160
here after the year obviously, Scott Frost is the prodigal son.

129
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,160
He comes back and sure, you know, you have an

130
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:15,600
undefeated season, You've got the national championship. You guys can

131
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,839
laugh at that all you like. I don't laugh at yeah, I.

132
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: Don't laugh at it. No, No, I don't laugh at it.

133
00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:21,639
You know what I mean.

134
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:25,199
Speaker 2: It's like you're living in a corrupt collegiate college football

135
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:26,519
cabal system.

136
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: You got, hey, you gotta declare your own batties. B

137
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,079
what you got?

138
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,639
Speaker 2: Lucky in nineteen eighty four because the media got to

139
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,600
decide and everybody lost ahead of them.

140
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Ben, you know, in a lot of regards

141
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,120
the twenty seventeen and eighteen season in which they ripped

142
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,319
off twenty five victories in a row and got to

143
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,879
the to the Peach Bowl, which they beat Gus Melson.

144
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:52,079
Mind you, that paved the way for where the Knights

145
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,199
are at today. That's in the Big twelve. Yes, you're

146
00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:57,160
getting three million dollar checks in the American from your

147
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,000
television contract. You know what you're getting in the Big twelve.

148
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,879
It's like thirty five million. So that is a huge

149
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,920
game changer, and it also puts you on the map

150
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:09,879
even more so in terms of the college football sphere

151
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:14,560
there within the power force. So Gus leaving and Gus

152
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,240
did did the Knights of favor as well, because he

153
00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:19,000
said I'm going to step away. So it's not as

154
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:23,240
if uc had to fire him to then pay a buyout. Instead,

155
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,279
you get to recoup you get to recoup all that money,

156
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,240
and then you get to hire a guy that led

157
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:31,680
you to the Promised Land the first time around. So

158
00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:34,399
your number one here. I think if the Knights can

159
00:07:34,439 --> 00:07:37,959
be competitive on on Saturday, I think that that'll be

160
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,839
a win and send us out here in twenty twenty

161
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:45,040
five with some pretty good momentum going into twenty six.

162
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an interesting study with all the new teams,

163
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:50,160
the new kids on the block if you will, that

164
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:55,120
got the initial invite post twenty twenty two byu U, Ston,

165
00:07:55,279 --> 00:08:01,399
UCF and Cincinnati. If you look at their resumes prior

166
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:04,600
to getting the invite from a total wins and losses, standpoint,

167
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,720
bowl game births, et cetera, they all very similar resumes.

168
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,000
I think dy won ninety nine games, ninety nine from

169
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,000
like twenty eleven to twenty twenty two, like the prior decade,

170
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:18,519
ninety nine wins fifty six losses. Houston was at ninety

171
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,639
eight wins fifty three losses. UCF was at one hundred

172
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:25,000
and one wins fifty two losses. And then I believe

173
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,160
Cincinnati had you know, maybe from a total wins standpoint,

174
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,319
he had the best resume one hundred and six wins

175
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,879
to forty seven losses. So I mean, very similar. They

176
00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:37,240
all earned their right into Power four play.

177
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think you take a look at Cincinnati,

178
00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:46,399
which it was almost as if we had the mantle

179
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,360
and then we passed it along to them because then

180
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:51,720
they were able to go and play there into the

181
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,240
to the playoff for the first time somebody that was

182
00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:58,120
outside of the Power four. And you see, I mean

183
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,039
you look on a Sunday Indi Ena fell that squad

184
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,600
in twenty one for the Bearcats. I mean it was

185
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,960
littered with with NFL players, and then you mentioned Houston.

186
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,559
They were atop the American standings with UCF for for

187
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,919
a lot of years. And now Willie fritz here Man

188
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:16,919
year number two, I think they've been a great surprise

189
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:20,600
in the Big twelve this year. And Cincinnati year year

190
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,519
three with Scott Saderfield. This is a guy that was

191
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:26,279
you know, at least from a fan base standpoint, they

192
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,240
weren't really happy with Scott's sadderfield. But I think that

193
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,440
has definitely changed. They've been able to turn some eyes.

194
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,440
They've played at a really high level. I know you

195
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,360
guys just saw it last week with the Bearcats.

196
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:39,519
Speaker 1: No doubt about it.

197
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: No. Look, all these teams are competitive and their they're talented,

198
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,639
and now they're they're well coached as well, and now

199
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,919
they're from a certain extent you want you want them

200
00:09:49,919 --> 00:09:53,440
to be able to retain coaches and not have their

201
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,639
programs be stepping stones. Do you feel like that's going

202
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,039
to be a part of all four of the seasons?

203
00:09:59,039 --> 00:10:02,039
The Kalate, he stuck it out at b YU, He's

204
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,440
on his tenth year, Cincinnati building some momentum. UCF in

205
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,120
their first year with Scott Frost. Are these teams going

206
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,840
to be stepping so? Is the program is going to

207
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:15,759
be stepping zones to bigger jobs or do they retain

208
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,600
their guys?

209
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: Man? I don't know. I think that that this is

210
00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:24,279
retainable at least from those three schools. One. Scott Frost,

211
00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:27,960
with the history that he's had in Orlando, he's come back.

212
00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:30,440
He now has you know, a couple of kids. That

213
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,639
wasn't the case when he left to go to Nebraska.

214
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,759
Those were the heart strings that he had to go

215
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:39,080
back there to the homeland and then being able to

216
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,039
come back to uc if. They love it, absolutely love

217
00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:44,000
it here in Orlando. He and his wife and his kids.

218
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,399
In the postgame show the other day, we're in the

219
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:49,399
locker room and I've got little RJ Who's sitting on

220
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,399
Scott's lap as we're doing the postgame shows. So he

221
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,759
loves the community, he loves what everything that UCF has

222
00:10:56,799 --> 00:11:01,159
to stand for. Willie Fritz for Houston, he's an older coach,

223
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,039
Ben He's coached a lot of years. And the fact

224
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:07,159
that he's been able to get Houston here in his

225
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:09,840
second year to where they're at now in the Big twelve,

226
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,519
I don't think that's a stepping stone for him. And

227
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,159
then Scott Saderfield, he knows that area because prior to

228
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:21,759
to Cincinnati, he's at Louisville. Prior to that he's He's

229
00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:25,720
he was at Appalasian State, so he knows that region

230
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,799
pretty well. It would be very surprising to me if

231
00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:32,600
you saw those guys make a jump here in this

232
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,519
this coming cycle.

233
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: Well, let's get back to UCF head to Provo.

234
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,519
Speaker 2: What makes you believe that UCF can knock off the

235
00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:42,360
b WAYU Cougar's and Provo on a Saturday game game

236
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,000
game game day type of venue.

237
00:11:47,799 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just gonna say this. I went to our

238
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:51,679
equipment manager at the Beauty of the Week to get

239
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,519
a park because I didn't know how sideways that weather

240
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:58,840
could potentially be on Saturday. I think if it does

241
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,320
get a little salty, I think that definitely can assist UCF.

242
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:05,840
I think if the Knights can run the ball. They

243
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,600
just got Miles Montgomery back from injury from a game ago.

244
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,360
He had missed the game prior. He ran. Well, he's

245
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:16,200
one of UCF's senior leaders, senior captains. He was effective.

246
00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:19,080
This pass came out, and I think at the offensive line,

247
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,679
who is It's just been a revolving door. And so

248
00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:24,879
if Tavin Jackson can maybe hit on a couple plays

249
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,639
in this night defense, if you look at them statistically

250
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,559
here in twenty five, they've been one of the better

251
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,039
groups collectively in the Big twelve. And so bear Bachmeyer,

252
00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:35,840
who has been able to do it through the air

253
00:12:36,159 --> 00:12:39,000
on the ground with his legs, you know, throwing the

254
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,840
ball down the field. That's kind of been UCF's specialty

255
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:46,360
in terms of being able to counterbalance teams being able

256
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:48,200
to throw the ball effectively down the field. So I

257
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,799
think those are kind of a couple of keys. And

258
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,360
getting a little bit of pressure maybe on bear Bachmeyer

259
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,240
I think would go a long way. But again, this

260
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:02,120
is my Charlie bucket sort of here. He's the underdog

261
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:07,519
coming in Kenny, rise above and get past Wonka's wonderland

262
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:08,279
here on set.

263
00:13:08,799 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be a tough one.

264
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,399
Speaker 2: Note doubt by He's playing some really good football, especially

265
00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:12,919
coming off.

266
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,039
Speaker 1: That Texas Tech aloge.

267
00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: How would you value what your scattered report on the

268
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,679
bway you Cougar's what did the coaches or players said

269
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,679
about BAYU leading up to this game?

270
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 3: So we had our coaches show last night. We had

271
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,720
a couple of the offensive linemen, and you know, they

272
00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:30,279
had tons of good things to be able to say

273
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,279
about the front. I think I think the defense for

274
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,559
BYU has just been solid, you know, all season long, consistency,

275
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,679
and then offensively they're just so they're so dynamic. LJ. Shelton.

276
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,960
We've now seen a couple of years in a row.

277
00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:48,960
He ate up UCF a year ago. But obviously in

278
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,360
this new world of portal land, and you see if

279
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,879
getting seventy new players coming into the season, a lot

280
00:13:54,919 --> 00:13:58,919
of those guys didn't even see BYU from from last year.

281
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:04,639
So I think if if UCF can can can get

282
00:14:04,879 --> 00:14:09,039
that offense a little bit a jar, then who's to say,

283
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,240
you know, who's to say? And again, i'd love to

284
00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:14,759
see some of that that weather come into play coming

285
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,679
up on Saturday.

286
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well you know, I figured you wouldn't want

287
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,559
the weather. You want some like Florida weather coming to

288
00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:24,240
to Provo rather than you know, the blizzard.

289
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: Well, I mean how many blizzards has has by you

290
00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:28,879
played it?

291
00:14:30,679 --> 00:14:36,759
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, we just want chaos. Baby, it was like chaos, yes, yeah, and.

292
00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: Give it to me, Ben, I love it. I love it.

293
00:14:40,039 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: Great breakdown. I can't wait to see what happens on Saturday. Well,

294
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,840
enjoy your time in Provo. I know it'll be short lived,

295
00:14:47,919 --> 00:14:52,200
but hopefully it's a competitive one in Provo this weekend.

296
00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:55,279
And uh, you know, I know, b what's a heavy favorite,

297
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,000
But you feel like you's get to cover right, uc

298
00:14:58,159 --> 00:14:59,159
has to get a cover I think it was at

299
00:14:59,159 --> 00:14:59,799
seventeen and a half.

300
00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:00,639
Speaker 1: I check.

301
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't. I don't participate in any of those.

302
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: I better not topely this day age quite honestly. Uh

303
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,879
well yeah, yeah, no doubt about it.
