Speaker 3: Brother. Look, man, I don't know where to start.

43
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: Just I guess I'll start your takeaways and thoughts on

44
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:44,959
the BYU Texas Tech game from over the weekend.

45
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, so we we actually were out at the game.

46
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:51,599
We went out and caught some waves in Waco at

47
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:54,959
the Waypool and then swung six hours across the state

48
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,040
to Lubbock. And I'll tell you what. My brother and

49
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:00,760
I were decked out in our blue and we were

50
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,680
out to see what the fan base had the dish

51
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,640
to us. And surprisingly enough, and I think it had

52
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,159
a lot to do with the GoFundMe h for the

53
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:14,879
barber of Texas Tech football team, but real gracious fans,

54
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:18,120
we thought it was hate week and it was not

55
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,639
hate week. We walked through every tailgating piece that morning

56
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:24,560
trying to just seeing if anybody wanted to have a

57
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,280
chat with us, and you know what nobody did. It

58
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:31,000
was it was real peaceful. The stadium is beautiful. I

59
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,319
related to a little bit to the Colorado Stadium, how

60
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,080
it just really really cool atmosphere.

61
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,879
Speaker 4: Uh, you know it, Uh getting down to the business

62
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,599
of the game, you know it.

63
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 5: A couple of the things that I don't think people

64
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,120
could really tell on TV was the way that the

65
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:54,840
weather was affecting the game. So you had if you

66
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:56,520
looked at the flags at the top of the stadium,

67
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,879
they were blowing horizontal.

68
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,479
Speaker 4: You had a heavy, heavy wind blowing.

69
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:03,759
Speaker 5: So for example, when when Parker Kingston went to take

70
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:07,240
that punt, the wind at the top of the stadium

71
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:11,000
was blowing towards him. But because it's a bowl and

72
00:03:11,039 --> 00:03:13,479
you have a big building at the end of that stadium,

73
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,960
as the wind would hit that, it would circulate back

74
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,599
through and kind of swirl through the stadium. So from

75
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,280
my perspective and the way that wind was going, you know,

76
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,319
as that ball was coming down, it was going multiple

77
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:27,919
different directions, very difficult ball to field, and it looked

78
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,240
like last second the wind blew it forward where he

79
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:31,800
had to reach out to try to get it.

80
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 4: As a punt.

81
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,479
Speaker 5: Returner in that moment, when you reach forward and you're

82
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:40,159
looking straight ahead at that point, now you're actually seeing

83
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:42,520
the guys who are coming right at you at the

84
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,520
same time, it makes for a real difficult catch. I

85
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,000
think Parker should have made the catch obviously, and that

86
00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:51,919
would have would have put us in at better spot.

87
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:55,840
But there, man, there was just so many opportunities missed

88
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,560
through the game. I didn't feel like Texas Tech was

89
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:04,199
stomping on us. I just didn't you as much. Everybody said,

90
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,719
we didn't feel like we were in the game.

91
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:07,479
Speaker 4: I did. I know.

92
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 5: You know, we just heard a lot of people talking

93
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000
about it that they weren't in the half. We weren't

94
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,399
in at halftime going into the like we were in

95
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:19,360
the game and and there wasn't even especially when when

96
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,480
when Raider broke up that pass at the end and

97
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,079
of the first half, you really felt like we've.

98
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 4: Got a shot.

99
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:27,199
Speaker 5: We knowing they had to come out and get a

100
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,319
stop right away as well. But yeah, I mean if

101
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,279
you you pack in four or five different plays in

102
00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:35,360
that game, which would be the punt return, I felt

103
00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:38,319
the shank punt, you know, and as a former punter

104
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,800
in junior college, everyone has one every year that goes

105
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,279
right off the side of the foot and you're just like, gosh,

106
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,279
I hope it's more than twenty yards, you know. And

107
00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:50,120
so he had that, and then you had multiple drops,

108
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,279
you know, Chase on his deep ball.

109
00:04:53,879 --> 00:04:55,639
Speaker 4: You know. The first thing I thought when when he

110
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,480
missed that was.

111
00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 5: Like, big players have to make big plays in big games,

112
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:03,920
and you know, he just just just missed that one.

113
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:07,920
The Jojo Phillips across the middle drop. I was happy

114
00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:10,360
that that. Right after that play, Aaron Rodgers gave him

115
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:12,439
a nice easy catch to get him back in the

116
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:17,079
field of the game, and then the almost pick that

117
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,519
turned into a huge gainer on that ninety two yard

118
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:24,319
drive with Texas Tech where it looked like I was

119
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,879
sitting with Evans parents in the stands, and you know it,

120
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:31,600
it looked like from our perspective and we were wrapped

121
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,920
in the top corner, but it was right coming right

122
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:37,920
into his hands, and that wide receiver just made a

123
00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:41,800
play on the ball and it changed a lot.

124
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,439
Speaker 2: Did the wind moved the ball at all? Because a

125
00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:45,800
lot of people said all of the wind blew it

126
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,160
to him. Did that happen or was it just he

127
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:48,879
just made the play.

128
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,079
Speaker 4: I think he just made the play.

129
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:51,399
Speaker 2: I have.

130
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 5: I haven't gone Usually I go back after watching a

131
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:55,639
game in person and go back and watch the game

132
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,160
because you miss a lot, you know.

133
00:05:57,759 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 4: And I haven't done that yet, But.

134
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,439
Speaker 5: I will say the wind when you have a bowl

135
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,439
stadium like that where there's no exits for the wind

136
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,920
to get out once it gets hits, and then you

137
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,279
have these the big buildings that build up their press

138
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,680
box on one side and then that they're athletic building

139
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:16,480
on one end zone. As that wind gets in, it

140
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,560
just swirls all through the inside of the field. So

141
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,000
even though you know the wind is say north to

142
00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:25,279
south or whatever direction it's blowing on the field, it's not.

143
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,319
It's all over the place, you know, So it wouldn't

144
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:31,720
surprise me at that. I feel like, you know, Evan

145
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:34,519
saw that ball coming straight into his hands and which

146
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,720
just had you know, hands up to make the play.

147
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:38,800
You see receivers do it all the time where there

148
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,560
it's like, here comes the ball and then the dB

149
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:42,240
makes a play on the ball and picks it and

150
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,160
they're just you know, falling down without without the ball.

151
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,360
And I think that's kind of what happened, because he

152
00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:49,480
was making you know, playing the ball and felt like

153
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:52,480
you had to pick the guy had an opportunity.

154
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:55,079
Speaker 4: To break a big, big run after the catch. But

155
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,079
you know, our defense played great.

156
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,879
Speaker 5: I feel like personally for being there and that this

157
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,480
is the first time that that a defense hasn't made

158
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,800
Bear look like a freshman.

159
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,959
Speaker 4: And now I think they.

160
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 5: Hit Bear hard that first hit he took when he

161
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:17,199
should have put his shoulder down and ran the guy over,

162
00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:20,680
but decided to make the oddest leap I've ever seen

163
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,360
in football.

164
00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:25,639
Speaker 3: But that don't jump over that guy, Well.

165
00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 5: You think guy wasn't even going low, you know, and

166
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:28,680
so he caught him in the air and it was

167
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,759
like a pile driver from about five feet in the air,

168
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,759
straight down with all of his weight on Bear. And

169
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:37,800
you could tell that hurt. And that was right in

170
00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:40,120
the beginning of the game. But there were three or

171
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,879
four other hits that he took where he laid face

172
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,839
down for a second and then you know how you

173
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:46,959
know we are in football, you scramble your feet as

174
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:47,519
fas as you can.

175
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,519
Speaker 4: He was, he was feeling it.

176
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,279
Speaker 5: So a lot of things to fix, a lot of

177
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:57,040
things to work on. I think, you know, having watched

178
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,079
Texas Tech the week before, I saw quarterback running all

179
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,959
over their defense, so I was confident in our ability.

180
00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:06,480
But we some of the things I think Bear was

181
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,600
was struggling. He was he was spending more time in

182
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:13,000
the pocket than usually he does. Usually he'll look one,

183
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,439
two and then he'll scramble and run. He seemed to

184
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,920
be scrambling a little bit more than normal, trying to find.

185
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: That extra receiver.

186
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:25,079
Speaker 5: And from my perspective on a lot of his throats

187
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:28,120
that seemed like he was his eyes were on his

188
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,000
number one target from the snap almost and and then

189
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:35,600
through to that guy, you know, so made it easy

190
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,279
for the defense to make plays on the ball. I

191
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,720
do think that we have we're going to have a

192
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,840
good bounce back week. That the team's confident, and I

193
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,759
think we have still such an opportunity ahead of us.

194
00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:55,320
There's there's nothing we can't achieve that we couldn't have

195
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,039
achieved last week, you know.

196
00:08:57,519 --> 00:08:59,519
Speaker 4: And so I look forward to this game TCUs.

197
00:08:59,799 --> 00:09:03,799
Speaker 5: We got to make a statement and we've we've got

198
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,720
to be ready to play. TCU is coming into a

199
00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:09,360
cold environment and it's a really late game for them.

200
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,159
It's absolute one am game for those guys, and and

201
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,240
that's that should be in our favor, and playing at

202
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:18,440
home will be in our favor.

203
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 4: But you know, we we It's kind of funny.

204
00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:22,159
Speaker 5: We talked to a couple of fans as we were

205
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,720
leaving and and you know, a couple of trying to

206
00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:26,759
hackle a little bit, and I the only thing I

207
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:27,759
said was, you know what.

208
00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 4: Our loss is to you? Your loss is to a

209
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,559
su so facts not a whole lot.

210
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 5: They could say back to that one, you know, but uh,

211
00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:38,600
but let's see how it all plays out. I'm excited

212
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,879
to see where it goes and it was definitely.

213
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 4: A lot of fun. I ate a lot of a

214
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,720
lot of brisket while we were out there, and uh

215
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,679
brisk a lot of driving across the state of Texas too.

216
00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were moving probably mileedge that you put on

217
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,399
those those wheels, got those caf.

218
00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:54,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got a brand well, we got a brand

219
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:55,519
new rental car.

220
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,399
Speaker 5: We took that thing from from Dallas to Waco, from

221
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:01,679
Waco to Lebick and then Lebick back to Dallas.

222
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:02,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys, Yeah we.

223
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 4: Got we got a little bit of the whole state.

224
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely got a little bit of the whole state.

225
00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:07,480
Love that you were down there in Texas. We got

226
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,639
Jared lets a former b y UI receiver on the line. Here,

227
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,480
last couple of things Jared, before they let you go,

228
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:16,399
what do you feel like offensively?

229
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: Should they have gone up Temple the whole game?

230
00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: Because they go up tempo, they score that touchdown, and

231
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,120
then I started thinking, well, maybe you should have ditched

232
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,799
the game plan or just done that from jump and

233
00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:27,679
just put Texas Tech in that type of you know,

234
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:31,279
they can't rest, they can't substitute. You go just up

235
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,519
tempo fast. You know exactly what you're doing two minute

236
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,639
drill the whole time. Should they have done more of

237
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,039
that in the game, because when they did that, they

238
00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:38,679
were able to move the ball actually pretty well.

239
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:42,519
Speaker 5: Maybe, I mean, maybe that would be something I know

240
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,240
that that being that Bears refreshman at giving him his

241
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,200
time to think and giving a Rod a little bit

242
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,600
more time to make play calls with him.

243
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 4: I think it's kind of been why we've huddled so much.

244
00:10:55,399 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 5: Also, that drive, I feel like they were they weren't

245
00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:00,919
playing the same defense that they are playing us. They

246
00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:03,279
weren't definitely not playing as aggressive, and they were kind

247
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:04,679
of sitting back a little bit more.

248
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 4: Not that they wanted us to score by any means.

249
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:08,320
I'm sure they.

250
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 5: Wanted to shut out, but it felt like they were

251
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,559
playing often and just not quite as aggressive at that point.

252
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense. Okay, you mentioned tc Let's move

253
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,320
it on. So now the matchup here. Look this, they

254
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,440
got a good run defense, Jared, but TCU they can

255
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,799
be had in there. I've seen Colorado was able to

256
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:27,600
throw on There's a lot of teams that can throw.

257
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,159
Could you see a three hundred plus your performance through

258
00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:33,120
the air from Bear. Look you let you just said

259
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,000
it they're gonna make a statement. I think they might

260
00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:37,840
beat TCU by two three scores. I don't want to

261
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,600
get hyperbolic, but I think they're gonna make a statement

262
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,840
to be angry on Saturday night.

263
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,919
Speaker 5: Well, I agree, and I think we're at the point

264
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,960
in the and I hear a lot of people talking

265
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,399
about it where we need some statement wins. It's no

266
00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:53,759
more twenty four to twenty seven wins. We need to

267
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:56,399
get up and show that we can put people away.

268
00:11:57,279 --> 00:12:00,600
And that's just the state of NCAA football and playoffs

269
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,840
and and that you got twelve guys making decisions for

270
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:06,000
I believe it's twelve for for all the teams uh

271
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,480
on on the committee, and so it's important now to

272
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,399
to kind of step in and play hard to CC

273
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,559
is not a team we can just walk over. You know,

274
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,240
they got a great passing offense. They there's there's a

275
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:23,200
lot there for us to play. And I feel like

276
00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:27,000
although there weren't any major injuries coming out of the

277
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:29,759
Texas Tech game, which is great, there's there's a lot

278
00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:32,200
of real sore guys because that was a hard hitting,

279
00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:38,200
very physical football team that we oh yeah no, and

280
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,000
and you know they they paid a pretty penny for it.

281
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:44,480
So uh but but you know, looking forward to this week,

282
00:12:44,519 --> 00:12:47,360
it's gonna be a lot of fun. I expect this

283
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,759
to come out. And you know, the big thing for

284
00:12:49,799 --> 00:12:52,320
me was, you know, everything in these games momentum.

285
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,919
Speaker 4: You know, where where where is our momentum?

286
00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 5: And in Texas Tech game, I don't think we had

287
00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:04,279
a period where where we, as as the fans and

288
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:08,000
and you know, sitting with all the players families, felt

289
00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:11,639
like we had momentum other than the couple of stops

290
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,399
where we really shut them down, but then the offense

291
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,480
never got going, you know. So it was like the

292
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,440
beginning of momentum and then it shifted straight back. And

293
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:23,519
so if we need to capture the momentum in the

294
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:26,840
beginning of this game with TCU and just drive straight

295
00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:29,720
through it, that that's going to make a big difference.

296
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,279
If we start giving momentum to TCU or even any

297
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,840
of our future opponents, that that's where we start to

298
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,080
get in a really bad spot. Our offense needs the

299
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,639
momentum from the defense, and then we've got to capitalize

300
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:46,799
when our defense makes those stops and stands. We've we've

301
00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:48,600
got to come out on top and get points on

302
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:48,960
the board.

303
00:13:49,799 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely need the points on the board. You think

304
00:13:51,519 --> 00:13:54,159
of what would happen if Evan Johnson gets that picker.

305
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,600
I know, the game is might have been out of hand.

306
00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:57,039
But if Trey gets down when there's just a couple

307
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,799
of moments where don't ye exactly you don't.

308
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 5: You don't know what one of those plays different. And

309
00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:06,919
even if Parker just would have fielded that that.

310
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:10,399
Speaker 3: Punt and it doesn't turn me an.

311
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 5: Incredible stop you know, on that on their first drive,

312
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,879
and the crowd was a little bit iffy at that point,

313
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,639
you know, because we just shut down their offense and

314
00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:23,240
had he just made and fielded that ball, and we

315
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,080
got a few plays rolling with the with the offense,

316
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,720
and it just felt like we were always in a

317
00:14:29,679 --> 00:14:30,559
what can we do?

318
00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 4: What? What is even available for us? On offense?

319
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,039
Speaker 5: You know, a rod he gets into a rhythm as

320
00:14:38,039 --> 00:14:39,879
he starts and drives. When we have three and out,

321
00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:43,360
three and out, it doesn't allow him to get into

322
00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:47,320
that rhythm and play calling he is a very I

323
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,000
don't know the right term, rhythmatic play color you know.

324
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: Rhythmatic. Yeah, well I make words all that the time, right,

325
00:14:55,039 --> 00:14:55,519
that's a word.

326
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so, but you know what I mean, Like

327
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,320
he as he starts making calls and the plays and

328
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,879
the drive is longer, it just seems like that play

329
00:15:04,919 --> 00:15:07,399
fed off the next play to the next play, and.

330
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 4: He's on a roll.

331
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,039
Speaker 5: And when he's on a roll, it's I feel like

332
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,559
the offense is not is really unstoppable.

333
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 4: So we just never had those opportunities.

334
00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 5: I we we as as a fan base in the crowd,

335
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,399
it was, man, we just felt so uneventful and we

336
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,240
couldn't get excited, you know.

337
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:26,879
Speaker 4: We we we needed a drive to.

338
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 5: Get excited about him or a play or two, and

339
00:15:29,639 --> 00:15:31,279
we just couldn't get it on offense.

340
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:33,759
Speaker 4: And uh but man, every team had.

341
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 5: You look at there's what three undefeated teams left in

342
00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:41,559
the country right on. Almost everybody has taken a loss

343
00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:45,600
this year, and some of them worse than others. Our

344
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:48,759
loss is to a top ten team, right Our.

345
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 4: Loss is a good loss. Yeah, I mean, I hate

346
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,840
that term, to be honest, with a good lass.

347
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:55,799
Speaker 3: You told me that every single time.

348
00:15:55,799 --> 00:15:56,159
Speaker 4: I said.

349
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 5: But but in the end, though we didn't lose to

350
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,360
an unraked team with a losing record, we lost to

351
00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:08,039
a top ten team. So it will be interesting to

352
00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:11,799
see where they go tonight with the rankings, we'll see

353
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,360
where the respect level lies. You know, we we lost

354
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,120
to a very good Texas Tech team, who I hope

355
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:22,360
we get another chance at in the Big twelve championship game.

356
00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:24,039
Speaker 3: You take care of business, you definitely will.

357
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,639

Speaker 4: Oh, let's go doctor Schofield.

364
00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:38,879
Speaker 5: So doctor Schofield has done a little bit of my

365
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,759
dental work. In fact, I was there today. She's amazing.

366
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,840
What a great staff there. I was super impressed. Had

367
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:48,600
to be honest, I heard about them through Ben in

368
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:51,200

369
00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:53,159

446
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,240
and I can give you a little tease. He was

447
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,039
not happy, not happy Bob Ashtack the Incredibles.

448
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 3: He was upset.

449
00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: In his first comment, he did not like that they

450
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:21,920
did not perform up to expectation. No one likes to lose,

451
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,640
especially when you're competitive and you played sports, some of

452
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,079
you play church ball on Thursdays. You don't like to lose.

453
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,119
I know you don't, because I don't like to either.

454
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,799
So just imagine when you're playing in a highly competitive sport,

455
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,240
You're on the biggest stage of the mall college game

456
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:37,960
day and then you don't execute. That does not sit right.

457
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,759
So Carson is gonna tell us, let's go question by question.

458
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,319
Carson number one, just give us a sense of how

459
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,440
you're feeling coming out of that Texas Tech game.

460
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 7: And I'm pissed off. I hate losing. And you know

461
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,880
we had Optusdy to do some great this year. And

462
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,640
go twelve to alve. You know we lost that chance,

463
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,200
but you know it's whatever. You just move on to

464
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,880
the next. And right now we got TCU next, and

465
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,720
you know our destiny is still in our hands. We

466
00:20:59,839 --> 00:21:01,519
got to go out and perform, and you know, bounce

467
00:21:01,559 --> 00:21:05,119
back as an offense, especially, so you know, I'm pissed off.

468
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,960
You always hate to lose, but you know we'll be fine.

469
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,680
I trust in our team and all our coaches, like

470
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,920
we're gonna bounce back and we're gonna be even better

471
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,200
from this.

472
00:21:12,319 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, not happy. He's upset, rightfully. So look he's

473
00:21:17,559 --> 00:21:19,240
right though. The destiny is still in her hands. You

474
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:20,920
went out, You're going to the big top title game.

475
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,400
No if answer butts about it. You do exactly what

476
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,240
you're supposed to. You'll be in Arlington and what it

477
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,519
looks to be because I don't believe Texas Tech is

478
00:21:28,519 --> 00:21:31,519
gonna lose to UCF or I think they play maybe

479
00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:33,359
West virgin I don't think it's gonna happen, So you

480
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,160
could be in Arlington again in that rematch against Texas Tech.

481
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,519
Speaker 3: But you heard it from there. I teased it. He

482
00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:42,200
is po pissed off.

483
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,319
Speaker 2: So look when you lose, and you know when it

484
00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:47,680
doesn't sit right, and Carson is a highly competitive dude,

485
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,440
a kid that's gonna play at the next level in

486
00:21:49,519 --> 00:21:52,440
the NFL. Look, when you don't get it done, that's

487
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,359
not gonna sit right with you. But got to move

488
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,759
on to TCU, Like you said, got to keep that focus,

489
00:21:56,839 --> 00:21:59,480
take that anger out on the horn Frogs, let that

490
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:02,400
beat them up, and then you're on the track to

491
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,559
getting back to Arlington, slowly but surely. Number two, you

492
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,480
played in a fair amount of football. Where do you

493
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:08,799
rank that Texas Tech defense?

494
00:22:08,839 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 3: Carson?

495
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 7: Oh, they're They're one of the best defense I've been against.

496
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,240
You know, I played a lot of played with and

497
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,599
against a lot of great players in my time in

498
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,640
college football. And you know, they got some great players

499
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,400
over there on their defense, especially in their front seven.

500
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,920
All went against those guys a lot in that game,

501
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:25,400
so I was really impressed by them. But you know,

502
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,599
we can hopefully get know a chance at them in

503
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:28,440
a few weeks.

504
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, get another chance at him in a few weeks

505
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,240
if you take care of business. He said, Oh, no,

506
00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:33,839
they're up there. Yeah, they're they're one of the best

507
00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:37,359
that you know, he's played against. That's it's not a joke.

508
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,640
I mean the money outllocated, the way they're playing, they're

509
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,279
getting their money's worth, per as I mentioned multiple times

510
00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:45,279
articles that have been written, and you look at the numbers,

511
00:22:45,319 --> 00:22:48,160
Texas Tech is getting their money's worth with romel Hed

512
00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:51,039
and David Bailey, So all those guys are going to

513
00:22:51,079 --> 00:22:53,480
get drafted, go to the next level. Jacob Rodriguez that

514
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,160
he can win the Heisman. So when you look at

515
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,720
this defense, it's it's a great defense. Texas Tech has

516
00:22:57,759 --> 00:22:59,839
built it really the right way, and they're bought into

517
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,839
the culture. So you got to give Jody McGuire credit

518
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,079
number three. Carson, what do you see from Bear in

519
00:23:05,079 --> 00:23:07,920
the huddle regarding his poise and composure and how do

520
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,640
you expect them to respond following the toughest out and

521
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,480
gainst a coup this past Saturday.

522
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 4: Hey, bro, we'll be fine.

523
00:23:16,279 --> 00:23:18,799
Speaker 7: You know, he's a really tough guy, and you know

524
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,440
he's hasn't experienced lost in college before, but I'm sure

525
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,319
he's lost a football game at some point in his life,

526
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:25,480
and so you know, I just we just got to

527
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,119
tell him, like it's the same thing, dude, just gotta

528
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,759
bounce back. Just gotta move on, look at what mistakes

529
00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:32,400
we made and what we can do better, and just

530
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:33,200
how we can.

531
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:33,559
Speaker 4: Learn from it.

532
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 7: Now its just being a learning experience for him. And

533
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,880
so you know Bear, he's a really mature guy, and

534
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,079
so I think I think he'll be fine and we'll

535
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:42,359
we'll be good as offense.

536
00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:45,519
Speaker 2: Look, he's been poised, he's been collected. Gonna find out

537
00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:48,880
on Saturday against TCU. How are they bounce back. But look,

538
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,720
I'm on the side of Bear is not gonna let

539
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,240
this get at him. He's lost football games before. He's

540
00:23:54,279 --> 00:23:56,000
lost in the biggest moments. John Beck, who we had

541
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,920
on the show yesterday, who we have on every Monday

542
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,839
during football season, by the way, guys, and he talked

543
00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:04,079
about playing against Bear. He's seen Bear score clutch touchdown

544
00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:06,359
after clutch talent in the biggest moments when they matter.

545
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 3: He's seen Bear fail.

546
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 2: So I have no doubt that Bear has an experienced frustration, anger, upset,

547
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,759
and doubt before. And look, it's all about how you

548
00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:18,640
bounce back. And now the focus is TCU. We're gonna

549
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,440
be hitting down to practice. So we're gonna ask Bear

550
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,519
if he's presented to the media, which I wouldn't. I

551
00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:25,799
would be surprised if he wasn't. Hey, how are you

552
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,279
gonna bounce back? We're gonna get his take on the matter,

553
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,279
and if we hear from Bear, will be able to

554
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:32,960
play that that sound and everything for you tomorrow. But

555
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,160
I have no doubt that Bear's going to bounce back.

556
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,240
That's the energy that I've always received from him. So

557
00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:40,599
we'll find out later on number four, Carson, one of

558
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,559
Kalaaney's saying is to stay humbling, hungry. Does a loss

559
00:24:43,599 --> 00:24:46,559
like Saturday reemphasize that to go back to the drawing

560
00:24:46,559 --> 00:24:47,240
board a little bit?

561
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,079
Speaker 3: Yeah for sure.

562
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 7: I mean it definitely like losing like that helped, like

563
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,119
really points out where we can be better as a

564
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,079
team and as an offense. So, you know, there's a

565
00:24:56,079 --> 00:24:57,799
lot to learn from from this game, and you know,

566
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,599
hopefully we can take it as a team and you know,

567
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,279
get better. Just take this off tune to learn from

568
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,759
the mistakes we made and just final ways being ever

569
00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:07,559
a better team for the rest of the season.

570
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta take opportunities ways to get better to

571
00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:13,319
do that. So and in order to do that, I

572
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,759
think the only l's you have taken life for lessons

573
00:25:15,799 --> 00:25:17,599
and this is one of those that is going to

574
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,720
sting for by you may maybe steal some stinging, but look,

575
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,160
the stinging goes away when you when you have joy.

576
00:25:23,319 --> 00:25:25,640
And they got an opportunity to rectify it and beat

577
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,000
TCU and not let it slip.

578
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,839
Speaker 3: Honestly, and it's not just TCU.

579
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 2: A lot of people might say, oh, well, look they

580
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,440
had the slip last where they lost too, or it's

581
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,519
not about losing two in the Rugs losing period. Actually,

582
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,359
if you beat TCU bel lose to Cincinnati, you're not

583
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,240
going So these are the two biggest games.

584
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 3: Honestly, you gotta win the next games.

585
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 2: You don't want to lose the UCF and a Senior

586
00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:45,680
Day or Senior Night, and I don't believe they would

587
00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:47,480
that game. I have to the last week of the season,

588
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,119
that after Black Friday. But look, you gotta win the

589
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,559
rest of the games. You're out of the title game.

590
00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:53,319
You have to go un defeated. It is a musk.

591
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,680
You have no room for air. You you know, maybe

592
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,599
a little bit of a setback you have that now

593
00:25:58,599 --> 00:26:00,240
you have to go execute. If you don't execit, you're

594
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,960
gonna be in the same position. And look, I being

595
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:05,920
and I said in the beginning of the season Orlando.

596
00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:08,359
Now I don't think that's happening. I think b YU

597
00:26:08,759 --> 00:26:10,680
will go undefeated and it will go in the tititle game.

598
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,839
I said eleven to one. I think that will be

599
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,480
the case. But don't let DejaVu creep into the building.

600
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,440
I've been mentioning it all show. Don't let Dejavo creep

601
00:26:19,519 --> 00:26:23,359
into the building. Carson, you faced TCU last year at

602
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,559
Riceycle Stadium. What do you remember about their defense in

603
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:27,680
that game in particular?

604
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 7: Well, I don't know too much about the team this

605
00:26:30,519 --> 00:26:32,799
year yet. I haven't done a whole lot of scotting

606
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:36,319
with them yet, but I remember last year they were

607
00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:39,319
they're a good physical team, and you know, they're's just

608
00:26:39,319 --> 00:26:40,640
how it is in the Big twelve, Like they're always

609
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,799
gonna be physical guys, and they're gonna be big and

610
00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:45,039
they're gonna play fast. You know, they're a good team,

611
00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:46,960
though they're only a two loss team, and so they're

612
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,200
gonna they're gonna fight for their chance to get in

613
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,240
the big total championships. So they're gonna come in everything

614
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,160
they have in this game, and so we just gotta

615
00:26:54,519 --> 00:26:55,599
be ready to just play our best.

616
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 2: Gotta be ready to play our best and what he means,

617
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,759
and this was yesterday and playing it today. Normally they

618
00:27:01,759 --> 00:27:04,440
go look at film and things on tape on Tuesday

619
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,559
as a team and in the position groups. Some guys

620
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,759
might watch some things earlier, but it's mainly the coaches

621
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,279
that will go and watch them together. Kalani and his

622
00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:13,160
staff will meet and then they take that and they

623
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,319
meet with the players on Tuesday as a team, they

624
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,559
watch them and then they'll get into their position meetings.

625
00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:20,119
So that's why Carson made that comment. It's not that

626
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,519
he hasn't seen the tape. They just haven't gone over

627
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:25,079
it yet. Reminder, these kids are in school. This is

628
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,359
not the NFL where this is. They do this on Tuesdays.

629
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,359
Tuesdays is normally when they have that meeting collectively. So

630
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,480
today which Carson I don't think will be available for

631
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:36,160
the rest of the week. But when we talk to

632
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,200
other offensive players or even coaches now, they will have

633
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,599
had those meetings. You know by this time of you're

634
00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:45,880
hearing this interview, you know what about or you know

635
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,960
here now in the afternoon, but in an hour or

636
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,759
so and we're at practice. That's what will happen is

637
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,920
they'll have what they see on film. Now we've talked

638
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,720
to Brady Papenny yesterday of Joshuver can throw the football.

639
00:27:56,759 --> 00:27:58,880
I have my analysis. We'll give that a little bit

640
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,519
later in the week. But yeah, TC is a good

641
00:28:01,519 --> 00:28:02,079
football team.

642
00:28:02,079 --> 00:28:02,559
Speaker 4: They're not bad.

643
00:28:02,599 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 3: Senny Dykes is a good coach. Just looking at it

644
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:05,799
from a service level.

645
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,799
Speaker 2: Number six, Carson, they've been having you do a lot

646
00:28:08,839 --> 00:28:12,240
more max protection to keep guys like Bear clean in

647
00:28:12,279 --> 00:28:16,480
the pocket. Do you relish in that blocking paralysis role?

648
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:19,279
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, for sure.

649
00:28:19,319 --> 00:28:21,599
Speaker 7: I mean I love blocking. It's one of my favorite

650
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,839
parts about playing tight end. You know, you always want

651
00:28:23,839 --> 00:28:25,039
to get the ball, but like you know, part of

652
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:26,400
your role is tight end is to be a blocker

653
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,000
and be an extra alignment and being able to do

654
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:31,680
that and just have the coaches rely on you for that.

655
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,079
You know, it's a big testament, you know, to me

656
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,400
and the work I put in for my blocking ability

657
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,079
and just being physical and dominating dudes, especially guys they're

658
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,720
bigger than you sometimes. And so no, I don't I

659
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,359
don't hate the fact that I got to block a lot. Know,

660
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,440
I love that part of football and that part of

661
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,079
my game, and I've always been a big blocking tight

662
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,519
end my time in high school and in college. So

663
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,319
I love that part about it.

664
00:28:51,759 --> 00:28:52,839
Speaker 3: He loves that part of it.

665
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: Should have asked him the question to follow up, So

666
00:28:55,559 --> 00:28:58,119
do you like Rob Grokowsker do you prefer Travis Kelce?

667
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,759
Speaker 3: I'm always trying to throw that debate out there.

668
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 2: Look, Travi is good in the blocking game, but he's

669
00:29:02,759 --> 00:29:05,519
more of a catching, you know, the passing tight end.

670
00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:06,319
Speaker 3: Rob.

671
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,319
Speaker 2: I would say maybe is the more complete tight end

672
00:29:08,319 --> 00:29:11,240
of where he blocks and catches. But it doesn't matter.

673
00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:13,079
But you know, I would have to ask Carson to

674
00:29:13,119 --> 00:29:15,240
get the chance to maybe. I'll return and report at

675
00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:17,519
a later different time. But he thrives in a row.

676
00:29:17,519 --> 00:29:19,480
He says, oh yeah, He says he loves a block

677
00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:21,160
and he wants to go block. He doesn't mind if

678
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,359
he has to do that. And look him can need.

679
00:29:24,839 --> 00:29:27,359
They both are able to seal blocks and Lj's able

680
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,759
to run, So we'll see what they do. But when

681
00:29:28,759 --> 00:29:32,559
they go at you know twelve thirteen fourteen personnel, and

682
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:34,440
Carson is a part of that block and package. Man,

683
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,200
it's special. I mean, you got some good blockers on

684
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,880
this team. Carson can't need Jojo Phillips can steal the block.

685
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,359
Look when Darius was on the team, he could seal

686
00:29:42,359 --> 00:29:42,799
the block.

687
00:29:43,759 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 4: Man.

688
00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:45,839
Speaker 2: They got some guys like a block. Chase can block.

689
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,440
They got a lot of guys down for like a block.

690
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,680
Even Lj's gotten better in his pass protection now he's

691
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,039
been good. So when they need to throw the football

692
00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:54,799
and they need to protect Bear, they all do a

693
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,880
very good job from what I've seen what I've scouted.

694
00:29:57,279 --> 00:29:59,880
Number seven, Carson, let's get you out of here on this.

695
00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:02,920
In terms of rounding up the wagon, that's something that

696
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,880
Klane has been has been saying the last couple of days.

697
00:30:06,079 --> 00:30:08,799
What's the mindset in the locker room right now in

698
00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:09,519
regards to that.

699
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,559
Speaker 7: I mean everyone's no one's worried, no one's like stressing out,

700
00:30:13,559 --> 00:30:15,599
and no one's freaking out. Like we're just you know,

701
00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:17,279
just take the loss and take it on the chance.

702
00:30:17,359 --> 00:30:19,279
Just move on, you know, like I've been saying, just

703
00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:22,839
you know, find ways to correct the things that the

704
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,079
mistakes that we made, and just you know, like Colonia said,

705
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,960
just around the wagons and just folks on ourselves, and

706
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,720
you know, folks on each other, build each other up.

707
00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:33,119
You know, keep keep that confidence in ourselves, like you know,

708
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,519
just like we're we're still at eight and one team,

709
00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:36,880
one of the best teams in the country. You know,

710
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,039
we think that we can hang with anyone out there,

711
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:41,400
and you know, hopefully we get our chance those guys

712
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,319
again and we can get get our revenge. But you know,

713
00:30:44,359 --> 00:30:45,960
we're just worried about ourselves and how we can get

714
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:46,559
better right now.

715
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,599
Speaker 2: Look, he's right, you're still eight and one team. You're

716
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,200
the second best team in the Big twelve. You lost

717
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,640
to the best team in the Big twelve on the

718
00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:54,839
road in a true road environment.

719
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 3: Regardless of what it was.

720
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: You gotta beat how everybody gets beat, but you probably

721
00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:03,119
put up the best performance coming into Lubbig per the numbers,

722
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,759
and you have an opportunity to still be ranked in

723
00:31:05,799 --> 00:31:08,559
the top fifteen, if not top twelve of the college

724
00:31:08,559 --> 00:31:11,519
football Playoff. Now, reminder that committee will meet probably in

725
00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:14,119
what an hour and a half or so, will be

726
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,720
coming from practice A way, I have to stay tuned

727
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,319
into that and we'll address that tomorrow on the show.

728
00:31:17,359 --> 00:31:19,400
But look, Bow he's gonna have a new ranking because

729
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,279
they lost. They are gonna drop Utah was gonna buy

730
00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:25,359
Louisville lost Cal beat Louisville, So I mean that's gonna

731
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,880
help b Yu. I mean per the AP pole and

732
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,279
the AFCA. I think that's the other pole. They were twelve,

733
00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:34,160
So when you look at the correlation, b Yu, I

734
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,200
still think it's gonna be ranked, you know, somewhere in

735
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,599
the top fifteen, if not the top twelve. So losing

736
00:31:39,599 --> 00:31:41,319
that game, I think they'll still be in good position.

737
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:43,240
I'll be very interesting to see where they put texts tech,

738
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,880
but that's gonna happen. That's gonna come out, you know,

739
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,079
later tonight, so we'll know where BYU is at. And

740
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,680
Mike Carson said, look eight and one right there in

741
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,519
the mix to being the title game, you control your

742
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:55,640
own destiny. You're still probably a top twelve to fifteen team.

743
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,799
There's a lot to be joyful about in the locker room.

744
00:31:57,839 --> 00:31:59,319
You take it on the chin. Look, that's the best team,

745
00:31:59,359 --> 00:32:01,680
best defensive, the hat you keep it pushing. Now if

746
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,519
that starts spiral, as everyone is asking in the post

747
00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:06,240
game sound, that we played yesterday and now and all

748
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,880
the availabilities sure in this rifle reasons. So because they

749
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,720
were in this position last year, now they have a

750
00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:13,000
chance to go prove us wrong. Chase Roberts says that

751
00:32:13,079 --> 00:32:15,359
we don't care about the narrative, and you know, all

752
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,960
of it being them saying us were the underdog and

753
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:18,200
all this.

754
00:32:18,279 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 3: You go prove that.

755
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it shuts us, myself and the rest of the

756
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,240
national people up. But if you don't, then that proves

757
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,079
are the right. So again, I think this team is

758
00:32:26,119 --> 00:32:27,640
way mature than it was last year. I think they

759
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,640
understand that. I think Saturday is going to be a

760
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,079
dog quite But look, if you want to put the

761
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,480
narrative bet are reiterated, go put belt to booty. Go

762
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,200
beat tc the way you beat Iowa State, make a statement,

763
00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:40,559
beat TCU the way Utah beat Cincinnati. I know people

764
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,240
might not like me bringing it up on this areas,

765
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,960
but I'm serious. If you want to put all of

766
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,359
that notion to bed, if you don't want, I always

767
00:32:46,359 --> 00:32:48,599
say this, you have the opportunity to change the national

768
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,400
media what they say in the narrative or even at

769
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,000
the local level.

770
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 3: You have an opportunity to make us talk about you.

771
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:53,519
To go with.

772
00:32:53,599 --> 00:32:55,599
Speaker 2: I remember telling a certain player you want me to

773
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,160
talk about you. You want to say this, then you get

774
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,039
on the field. You make the most of the opportunity

775
00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:01,119
that you have. That's how it goes. That's the nature

776
00:33:01,119 --> 00:33:03,559
of sports. We discuss and we talk about what you're doing.

777
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,559
If you don't like something that's doing it, stop doing it.

778
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,839
I'm not going to bring up anything that's fakeing out

779
00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:09,440
of the wazoo. I'm only going to talk about what

780
00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:12,240
is relevant and what is going on right now BYU

781
00:33:12,359 --> 00:33:13,000
is very relevant.

782
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,119
Speaker 3: They're very much in the mix.

783
00:33:14,319 --> 00:33:16,799
Speaker 2: They control their own destiny, and I truly believe this

784
00:33:16,839 --> 00:33:19,359
team is gonna correct what happened last year.

785
00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 3: I believe they're going to do that.

786
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: I when you hear them speak about it and the

787
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,319
way they play and what they've been doing this season, teez,

788
00:33:26,359 --> 00:33:28,119
He's gonna tell us a lot about who this team is.

789
00:33:28,559 --> 00:33:31,160
It is, so we're gonna find out sooner rather than later.

790

of Wealth banawealth dot com. Okay, Austin Leuza one of

846
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,199
the offensive linemen along this BYU front.

847
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: They've been doing a good job.

848
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: I know the game against Texas Tech didn't go their

849
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,480
way and maybe you know, Bear took some hits that

850
00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:11,400
he shouldn't have. I felt like the worship that Bear

851
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,360
took was the one where he's trying to hurdle Winowski.

852
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:15,880
I think a guy on his own, or it might

853
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,280
have been Curry actually, and then it just gets flatlined.

854
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't don't do that, Bear, don't put.

855
00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 2: The boys up front. They've done a really good job

856
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,440
and Austin's been a part of that. The six foot

857
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,199
five red shirt junior out of West Jordan, Utah three

858
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,519
hundred and fifteen pounds, he was named the Polynesian College

859
00:36:30,559 --> 00:36:33,519
Football Player of the Your Preseens to watch list last year.

860
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,880
Austin and his wife have two daughters. He is majoring

861
00:36:37,079 --> 00:36:38,920
in sociology and he served a mission for the Church

862
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,440
jes Christ of Lota Day Saints in the Philippines from

863
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,000
twenty seventeen to two thousand nineteen. We've heard from Austin before,

864
00:36:45,079 --> 00:36:48,039
but gonna get caught up with him again momentarily. He

865
00:36:48,079 --> 00:36:53,599
addressed the media actually on Monday yesterday in preparation for

866
00:36:53,639 --> 00:36:58,079
this TCU game BYU obviously, and this is how it goes.

867
00:36:58,159 --> 00:37:00,719
Just explain because some people are like BYR maybe the

868
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,679
media asking questions about last game. Look, you don't get

869
00:37:03,679 --> 00:37:06,480
a chance to ask an interview every player, So how

870
00:37:06,519 --> 00:37:09,519
to open locker room like the NBA, you know, or

871
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:12,239
the NFL where you can go and ask players any

872
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,639
questions you want.

873
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 3: You are a lot about what the.

874
00:37:16,119 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 2: Sports information directors give you, So when certain student athletes

875
00:37:20,079 --> 00:37:22,559
come and especially at certain positions, you got to ask

876
00:37:22,599 --> 00:37:25,639
them follow up questions to the game and then as

877
00:37:25,639 --> 00:37:28,559
well as preparation for this week. That's just how it goes.

878
00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:30,639
So let's get caught up with Austin. Let's start with

879
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,599
number one. Austin, what did you chalk up the inability

880
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,400
to run the football against Texas Tech on Saturday.

881
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 4: I think it was.

882
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 8: Definitely us just not playing our best. I think there

883
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,679
was a number of things that we could have done better.

884
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,199
I know, especially from an online perspective, we could have done,

885
00:37:51,519 --> 00:37:52,960
you know a little bit more than we should have,

886
00:37:53,039 --> 00:37:55,199
and you know, we just we just weren't playing on

887
00:37:55,199 --> 00:37:55,960
our ball Saturday.

888
00:37:57,039 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 3: Wasn't playing their ball Saturday.

889
00:37:58,639 --> 00:38:01,159
Speaker 2: It was a rough outing for everybody on the offense,

890
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,199
not just maybe the offensive line. Bear you know, struggled,

891
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,000
had his worst performance of the season. You know, completed

892
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,679
twenty three passes on thirty eight attempts for one hundred

893
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,519
eighty eight yards, had a touchdown at the interception, but

894
00:38:12,559 --> 00:38:15,239
also had the backwards pass which went as a fumble.

895
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,079
So you never like to see that if you're a

896
00:38:18,119 --> 00:38:21,800
BYU fan, when you're minus in the turnover category and

897
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,760
you're given the opposition, who already has a prolific offense,

898
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,920
who has a great defense, you give them more opportunities.

899
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,679
That's just going to make things harder, like really really hard.

900
00:38:31,679 --> 00:38:33,800
And then of course you had the fumble by Parker

901
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,320
Kingston on the muck punt, just didn't go BAYUS way

902
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,119
did not go BYUS way at all. But I mean, look, hey,

903
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,320
I thought they did for the most part, you know,

904
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,199
protecting Bear. I mean look, TC Texas Tech only got

905
00:38:46,199 --> 00:38:49,159
one sack, So for the most part, I feel like

906
00:38:49,199 --> 00:38:51,599
they really did a good job of protecting Bear.

907
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 3: You know, they had four tackles for loss.

908
00:38:54,039 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: But look, I thought the offensive line did a good

909
00:38:57,079 --> 00:38:59,800
job being able to be physical and staying up front.

910
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,800
But sometimes that's the way it goes is even if

911
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,360
the boys upfront able to do it, it doesn't matter,

912
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,199
and he didn't necessarily need to get sacked. That just

913
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,480
shows you the speed of Texas Tech and how fast

914
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,159
that they are number two in terms of the variety

915
00:39:12,199 --> 00:39:13,440
where it's a top ten opponent.

916
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 3: Was the moment too big for you guys, No.

917
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 8: I don't think the moment was too big for us

918
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,440
at all. I think that we just like I said earlier,

919
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,480
we just didn't play at the level that we needed

920
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,639
to play at and the level that our coaches expected

921
00:39:25,679 --> 00:39:26,239
us to be at.

922
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: True, they didn't play to the level that the coach

923
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,000
is probably expecting to be at. Lane mentioned it in

924
00:39:33,079 --> 00:39:35,760
the post game. He says, hey, we have to get

925
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,760
these guys. Ready, these guys weren't prepared and say there's

926
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,199
some accountability on the players. The players weren't able to

927
00:39:41,199 --> 00:39:43,639
execute when they needed to the most. And when you're

928
00:39:43,679 --> 00:39:47,000
playing that type of defensive line, lots of NFL talent,

929
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:48,320
you have to be on point.

930
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 3: Miscues don't really help you.

931
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 2: And again I just I go back to the speed,

932
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,280
the speed, everything that Bear wanted to do. They did

933
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,559
a good job of neutralizing and not letting Bear go

934
00:39:56,599 --> 00:39:58,719
in the run game looked It wasn't mentioned yesterday on

935
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,960
the show, and I didn't give my thoughts and opinions,

936
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,519
and John Beck was the one that said, and I agree.

937
00:40:03,679 --> 00:40:04,880
It was the last segment of the show. If you

938
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,400
missed an interview, go download on the podcast. But how

939
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,360
many third and fourteens, thirteens, fifteens or sixteens as BAU

940
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,239
come close to maybe converting or come close to where

941
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,400
they've gone fourth and fourth down? Remember the Utah game,

942
00:40:17,639 --> 00:40:19,360
Bear was short on fourth to one. They didn't get

943
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,320
the fourth down, but they came close there. Remember the

944
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,599
first down against East Carolina, the one that Bear got

945
00:40:25,639 --> 00:40:28,639
West Virginia. Look that one that Bear goes where he

946
00:40:28,679 --> 00:40:30,679
pulls it down and they pulled the tackle and they

947
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,000
leading with the guard. He got Bruce Mitchell out there,

948
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,239
and you have Andrew Gentry and you know, Austin or Whaling,

949
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,360
whoever you have running at QB draw.

950
00:40:38,639 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 3: It's dangerous.

951
00:40:40,079 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 2: So Texas Tech did a good job of mitigating that

952
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,920
and says you're not going to beat us with that.

953
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to beat us with your arm. And

954
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,280
they made sure that they they did. They didn't do that.

955
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 2: So number three, Austin, did you notice anything about Bear

956
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:52,760
in the huddle?

957
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 3: Did he keep his composure?

958
00:40:55,079 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 8: He's yeah, he's done. He's done a great job for

959
00:40:57,079 --> 00:40:58,760
us all year. He's kept his poise all year. I

960
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,280
don't think anything really distracted Bear. I don't think it

961
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,960
really did anything to him personally. I know that may

962
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,920
not see him just with the outcome how you know,

963
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,840
everything played out. But Bear has been poised all year.

964
00:41:11,199 --> 00:41:13,679
He's done his job. He's done more than just his job.

965
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,480
And yeah, I don't think that had anything to do

966
00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:17,320
with the outcome.

967
00:41:18,119 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 2: He's been poised. This question has been asked throughout the

968
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,760
show one hundred percent. Look everyone as asked his question.

969
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,079
In the media, was Beary able to keep his composure.

970
00:41:28,199 --> 00:41:30,280
Was he poised in the huddle? And it's a valid

971
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,599
question on the on a road environment that's very tough

972
00:41:32,599 --> 00:41:34,800
against the best opponent in the Big twelve.

973
00:41:35,199 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 3: How is Bear doing? Is that is that poised going away?

974
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,559
Speaker 2: As you getting nervous and his offensive lineman says, no,

975
00:41:40,639 --> 00:41:41,639
he's been poised all year.

976
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 4: It's got it.

977
00:41:43,079 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 2: They've got beat and it happens number four, Austin, How

978
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,639
do you feel like you protected him on Saturday?

979
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I definitely think that that gives us confidence, especially

980
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,239
with the talented group that we played last week. You know,

981
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,079
those were two of the best defensive ends probably in

982
00:41:58,119 --> 00:42:01,440
the country, and a pretty good interior defensive line and

983
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:03,639
overall just a good front seven, and I think we

984
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,119
held our own. I think we did a very good

985
00:42:06,199 --> 00:42:09,159
job and knowing, you know, in the situations when we

986
00:42:09,199 --> 00:42:12,320
needed to protect Bear the most, and essentially that is

987
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:12,719
our job.

988
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 4: You know, we protect Bear. You know, he is our

989
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:14,920
little brother.

990
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 8: We have that little we have that mindset, you know,

991
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:17,840
we're gonna pick him up.

992
00:42:18,079 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 3: And essentially I think we did that.

993
00:42:20,159 --> 00:42:23,199
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, look, it is two of the

994
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,239
best players in the conference, in the country, to the

995
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,559
best ends and Romela Height and David Bailey.

996
00:42:30,559 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 3: Look, and they didn't. They didn't even have Scott A.

997
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,159
Speaker 2: Gill their other person, Gil Howard, Like, Look, those guys

998
00:42:36,199 --> 00:42:38,840
are all three of those guys going to the next level,

999
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,760
going to play in the NFL. Yeah, when you got

1000
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,440
the top two defensive ends in the country arguably and

1001
00:42:44,599 --> 00:42:47,480
you only allow one sack, be able to protect Bear. Now,

1002
00:42:47,519 --> 00:42:49,440
a granted there was a lot of pressure that they

1003
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,239
probably put on Bear and on the offensive line and

1004
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:53,079
didn't allow the rows.

1005
00:42:53,079 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 3: I think they had a bad ball or two.

1006
00:42:55,159 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 2: I think that's the best performance you could have asked for,

1007
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:58,559
And a lot of people thought it could have been worse.

1008
00:42:58,599 --> 00:43:00,840
A lot of people thought that man could have really

1009
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,079
let Bear get sacked, They could have really gotten after him.

1010
00:43:03,079 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 3: But it didn't.

1011
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,559
Speaker 2: So that just shows you the protection up front, and

1012
00:43:07,679 --> 00:43:08,719
it does give them confidence.

1013
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:09,519
Speaker 3: I agree with Austin.

1014
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,679
Speaker 2: That's going to give you confidence going into the TCU

1015
00:43:11,679 --> 00:43:15,280
in Cincinnati and the ECU game. Look, the Boa is

1016
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,400
not going to play another defense like that unless they

1017
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,440
see Texas Tech and again in the Big Toal Championship,

1018
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:21,440
and if they were to make it to the College

1019
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,840
Football Playoff, you're not going to see another defense like that.

1020
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,480
I'm serious, that's no shot. That's no shot at TCU's defense.

1021
00:43:27,679 --> 00:43:30,480
That's no shot at Cincinnati's defense. That's no shot at UCF.

1022
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,239
You're not going to see another defense that's this formidable,

1023
00:43:34,599 --> 00:43:37,599
that's this dominant, that has this much talent at the

1024
00:43:37,639 --> 00:43:39,360
next level. I mean, for crying out out, they're talking

1025
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,159
about chickob Roriguez for Heisman. I mean, look, I mean,

1026
00:43:42,199 --> 00:43:45,519
do you see any other potential Heisman candidates on any

1027
00:43:45,519 --> 00:43:47,079
of those three opponents that buis left.

1028
00:43:47,119 --> 00:43:49,639
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, there might be in it.

1029
00:43:49,679 --> 00:43:52,039
Speaker 2: There might be a lot of NFL talent, but not

1030
00:43:52,119 --> 00:43:54,519
as dominant as Texas Tech, not that discipline, not that

1031
00:43:54,559 --> 00:43:55,000
locked in.

1032
00:43:55,159 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 3: With that much speed. Like the speed is ridiculous.

1033
00:43:57,559 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 2: There was snapping the ball and getting to the line

1034
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,239
screm even by the time the ball was released, they

1035
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,559
were there. There was one pass where I don't know

1036
00:44:04,559 --> 00:44:07,400
if it could have been completed to chase er Jojo

1037
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,960
and the ball ends up getting tipped because Bear is

1038
00:44:11,039 --> 00:44:13,760
just a half a second late, and Texas Tech speed

1039
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,119
is that fast, like you would have had to release

1040
00:44:15,159 --> 00:44:17,760
the ball immediately quick into the flat and end up

1041
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,599
tipping and knocking it down like the speed all game

1042
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,840
I felt was just so disruptive for Bou's momentum in offense,

1043
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,079
and Bo you should have probably went up tempo, as

1044
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:29,960
Ben said yesterday, match speed for speed.

1045
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 3: But look, it's not what happened.

1046
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 2: So it's a learning lesson, and I think they also

1047
00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:36,480
can help you going forward, like, look, if you're stem

1048
00:44:36,559 --> 00:44:39,079
made or if I'm using that right word, if your

1049
00:44:39,079 --> 00:44:41,679
stey meat against TCU, if your offense is not moving,

1050
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,039
then hey, look you're gonna be able to take that. Okay,

1051
00:44:46,079 --> 00:44:49,440
we went up temple against Texas Tech, better defense, faster,

1052
00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:51,880
more athletic, and you got the advantage. This Saturday, you

1053
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,480
got the advantage against TCU home crowd vampire kouks. In

1054
00:44:55,519 --> 00:44:57,920
that game, you're gonna have every opportunity to be able

1055
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,679
to control the crowd, control the temple, the game. So

1056
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,320
there's no excuse, what BA, you should win this game

1057
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,480
on Saturday, and no tc' is good. Now, if you

1058
00:45:06,559 --> 00:45:08,360
want to rectify what happened last year, we want to

1059
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,599
show that hey we're not that same team. You want

1060
00:45:11,599 --> 00:45:13,559
to show it to the media, us, to the world

1061
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,480
that look, you deserve that rematch. You got to go

1062
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,000
take care of business against CCU, and I think Texas

1063
00:45:19,039 --> 00:45:21,960
Tech prepared them for that. Number five. Austin, you've had

1064
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,440
a couple of games. What a slow start where you've

1065
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,840
fallen behind the double digits. Is that a matter of

1066
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,639
execution or does there need to be more urgency?

1067
00:45:29,679 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 3: What's your thoughts on that matter.

1068
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 8: I definitely think there needs to be more urgency. I

1069
00:45:33,039 --> 00:45:34,920
think Coloney preached a lot this week. You know, we

1070
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,119
have to we have to take the fight early, take

1071
00:45:37,519 --> 00:45:40,639
take the fight to our opponents early. And obviously in

1072
00:45:40,679 --> 00:45:42,840
previous games we've kind of you know, it's been the

1073
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,360
slow starts for us, kind of what you said. But

1074
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:45,760
at the end of the day, you know, it comes

1075
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,719
down to us and what our coaches want and expect

1076
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,599
from us, and you know that is that was to

1077
00:45:51,599 --> 00:45:54,039
take to a fight early. And I think we just,

1078
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,920
you know, need to just have the right mindset going

1079
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,920
into the game. I know the coach is prepared for

1080
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,039
every situation and ultimately it's really up to us as

1081
00:46:04,039 --> 00:46:07,280
a team to do that. And you know, that's just

1082
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:08,880
how we're gonna get the jobs done in the future.

1083
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 2: So they've been off to a slow start, I'm gonna

1084
00:46:11,519 --> 00:46:13,360
go through the games for you guys, so you know.

1085
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,960
Obviously Portland State, it doesn't matter. It's the worst team

1086
00:46:17,039 --> 00:46:19,840
in football. They scored fourteen points in the first quarter,

1087
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,199
thirty five in a second. At Stanford, he go, you

1088
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,400
start to get into more opponents. Six points in the

1089
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,679
first quarter, eight in the second. Now if I did

1090
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,559
math correctly, if I'm correct, that's fourteen points going in

1091
00:46:32,559 --> 00:46:35,039
the halftime. Not the ideal ballgame you EASTI won the

1092
00:46:35,079 --> 00:46:38,360
game twenty seven to three, but look still too slow

1093
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,679
to start. East Carolina on the road thirteen to three

1094
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,239
at a half time, but three points in the first quarter. Again,

1095
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:49,079
slow start on that first drive. Go to Colorado, remember

1096
00:46:49,119 --> 00:46:51,599
that one. Colorado got off to the fourteen nothing start,

1097
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,159
three points in the first quarter. Once a halftime, it

1098
00:46:55,199 --> 00:46:57,360
was fourteen to ten. They end up coming back in

1099
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,119
that game and winning it. It was a great game.

1100
00:46:59,519 --> 00:47:04,239
Still slow start. Arizona probably was their quickest start. Obviously,

1101
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:08,559
West Virginia is not a good opponent, you know Arizona's

1102
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,519
I say their defense is better. That's why I'm bringing

1103
00:47:10,519 --> 00:47:12,559
it up. West Virginia has a good defense, but you

1104
00:47:12,639 --> 00:47:15,400
can exploit it. It's not as talented as Arizona's in

1105
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,639
my opinion. But look, before the rain delay, they started

1106
00:47:17,639 --> 00:47:20,320
off fourteen to nothing. I believe that they had an

1107
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,440
opportunity to go down to score making twenty one to seven,

1108
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,000
but the rain de lay killed that. But that was

1109
00:47:25,039 --> 00:47:26,519
probably your best game, and that was on the roads.

1110
00:47:26,559 --> 00:47:28,800
You'd like to see that from Bear against West Virginia

1111
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,800
fourteen to nothing, but again it's the first drive where

1112
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,679
they're not being able to get down into the field

1113
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,880
or across midfield. Then against Utah, I mean that's your

1114
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,400
rivalry game. No one scored in the first quarter, so

1115
00:47:39,519 --> 00:47:42,320
you chalk that one up to that. But again, slow start.

1116
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,159
They did go into ten in a halftime with the

1117
00:47:44,159 --> 00:47:48,559
ten to seven lead, and then look Iowa State, same thing,

1118
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,480
seventeen to seven. They were going for the kill shot too.

1119
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,920
If it wasn't for Logan Latwoi's interception. Shout out to

1120
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,800
Jay Hill and Kelly Papinkan having the defensive ends ready.

1121
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 3: I mean, who knows what that game could have turned into.

1122
00:47:58,880 --> 00:47:59,639
And then you winn.

1123
00:47:59,679 --> 00:48:02,039
Speaker 2: You lit up in the second half and he outscored

1124
00:48:02,119 --> 00:48:04,320
him and you won that game forty one to twenty seven.

1125
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,719
But the slow starts have been an issue when you

1126
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,599
go back and you look at the drives, when you

1127
00:48:08,599 --> 00:48:10,199
look at the points that they have not done it,

1128
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,679
and then obviously no points against Texas techaves ten zero,

1129
00:48:13,079 --> 00:48:14,599
thirteen to nine and a half time, you still had

1130
00:48:14,599 --> 00:48:16,800
a chance in the games. Can you imagine the Bayu

1131
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,800
actually executes and gets it done. Like, look, if you're Byu,

1132
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,840
I know that Kilanie's not going to do it.

1133
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:23,199
Speaker 3: He's not.

1134
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,199
Speaker 2: But if this were me and you had a slow start,

1135
00:48:27,079 --> 00:48:29,440
if I was Aaron Rodder, I'd be looking at Klonna like, look,

1136
00:48:29,599 --> 00:48:31,679
we win the coin toss, We're actually gonna take the

1137
00:48:31,679 --> 00:48:34,360
football and we're gonna go down and we're gonna score

1138
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,119
a touchdown and make a statement. Not gonna happen, right,

1139
00:48:37,199 --> 00:48:39,480
They're gonna let the defense go out do things, probably

1140
00:48:39,519 --> 00:48:41,280
the right way. But for me, I'd be like, you

1141
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,400
know what, I'm sick and tired of seeing the offense

1142
00:48:44,559 --> 00:48:47,280
not go out there and go down the field and

1143
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,320
push it to the end zone on the first play

1144
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,760
of the game. We're gonna take the football, run it

1145
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,400
down TCU's throat with LJ. Martin, gonna throw the ball

1146
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,719
with Chase Roberts, with Parker Kingston with Cody Hagen, with

1147
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,400
Josiah Phillips, the Carson Ryan and we're gonna get it

1148
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,800
to the end zone. And let TCU know, Hey, y'all

1149
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,039
got a person that can slain the football, Well, guess

1150
00:49:06,079 --> 00:49:06,920
what way?

1151
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,519
Speaker 3: Two b YU can slean the football too.

1152
00:49:08,559 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 2: That's what I'm probably saying in the meeting if I'm there,

1153
00:49:10,519 --> 00:49:12,719
but I'm not. But they're gonna win the coins. Austin defer,

1154
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,440
it's exactly what's gonna happen. But look, the slow starts

1155
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,559
you can't have. That offense has to get rolled, and

1156
00:49:17,639 --> 00:49:19,840
especially against TCU, they can throw the football. Josh Suver

1157
00:49:20,199 --> 00:49:22,360
is a very good quarterback. Don't think because TCU lost

1158
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,880
Iowa State that oh they're not good. No, they're good.

1159
00:49:25,119 --> 00:49:27,639
They're damn good. And at the end of the day,

1160
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,519
they're looking for blood. They gotta win this game to

1161
00:49:30,559 --> 00:49:32,559
stay in a lot of people think, oh, TCU's out

1162
00:49:32,599 --> 00:49:32,800
of it.

1163
00:49:33,559 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know.

1164
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 2: They beat b YU, that just helps their chances. That

1165
00:49:37,559 --> 00:49:39,400
puts BOU at a second loss, and they still got

1166
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,280
Cincinnati the week after. So a win for TCU could

1167
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:47,079
put BYU in a vulnerable position. It could it could

1168
00:49:47,119 --> 00:49:49,880
help them, even though Cincinnati's right behind BYU. So you

1169
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,960
never know, you never know what could happen. You gotta win,

1170
00:49:53,079 --> 00:49:54,719
you gotta win out and that's the way to do it.

1171
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,400
So last thing, Austin will get you out of here

1172
00:49:56,639 --> 00:49:59,960
on this number six, Austin. Do losses like this put

1173
00:50:00,079 --> 00:50:03,679
the humbling hunger saying that Kialani preaches more into perspective?

1174
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,519
Speaker 3: Is this mentality more going forward?

1175
00:50:05,519 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 4: Now?

1176
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, it definitely does.

1177
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 8: Staying humbling and staying hungry has been a big part

1178
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,719
in this program especially you know, the past two years.

1179
00:50:13,199 --> 00:50:15,119
I think Kilani and the coaching staff have done a

1180
00:50:15,159 --> 00:50:18,199
good job and embedding in that into our in our minds,

1181
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,000
and you know, not only on the football field, but

1182
00:50:20,039 --> 00:50:22,840
you know when we go home to our families, it

1183
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:24,800
just helps us. It just helps us be better. I

1184
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,280
think another thing that he tries to embedd in us

1185
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:29,960
is to love and learn. You know, when we love

1186
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,360
to learn, we learn to love. And so essentially that's

1187
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:33,920
how you know we're going to become better each and

1188
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,039
every week and ultimately do what we need to do.

1189
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,639
Speaker 2: It definitely puts it into perspective. When you lose, you

1190
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,840
you don't get anything. I know, Jaron Hall said, Oh,

1191
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,239
you learn more for your wins than on your losses.

1192
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,320
And that could be true because when you look at film,

1193
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,320
you only look at what you did wrong. You spend

1194
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,519
like maybe four or five seconds of what you did right,

1195
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,920
and you correct what needs to be corrected. But look

1196
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,000
to me, at the end of the day, this is

1197
00:50:54,079 --> 00:50:56,800
very simple. When you lose, you got that gut feeling.

1198
00:50:57,079 --> 00:51:00,639
You're angry, you're upset, you're not happy. Parsonal And said

1199
00:51:00,639 --> 00:51:03,239
it in his media Vailuay. He was po and he

1200
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,760
said the actual word that lets you know. They're not

1201
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,079
happy down there. School down south a son they call it,

1202
00:51:09,199 --> 00:51:10,000
and they shouldn't be.

1203
00:51:10,119 --> 00:51:10,679
Speaker 3: They lost.

1204
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,079
Speaker 2: Offense, didn't perform the way and needed two defense kept

1205
00:51:13,079 --> 00:51:16,280
a minute, but they got a beating. Now, granted, according

1206
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,920
to the numbers of the metrics, they held Texas Tech

1207
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:22,039
to a different number than everybody else did going into Lubbock,

1208
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:24,519
but still you didn't play the football and the brand

1209
00:51:24,519 --> 00:51:25,119
that you wanted to.

1210
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 3: So what are you gonna do going forward?

1211
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 2: BYU has an opportunity to see Texas Tech again. They

1212
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,079
control their own destiny, just like they did last year.

1213
00:51:33,559 --> 00:51:35,599
Just like they did last year. You went out and

1214
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,920
you're in. It didn't take care of business. They had

1215
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,840
the two losses back to back. So what BAU football team?

1216
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 3: What will see?

1217
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,119
Speaker 2: Will we see the BAU football team that looks mature?

1218
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,679
Will they not allow it to happen? Or will deja vu?

1219
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,599
Because it's slowly starting to creep, it's slowly making us way.

1220
00:51:51,599 --> 00:51:53,840
It's like a snail moving moving back in. I don't

1221
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,679
think it will happen. I think this team is mature.

1222
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,360
I think they corrected on Saturday, but it's clear it's creeping.

1223
00:51:58,679 --> 00:52:01,639
It's creeping, and ta try to be the Kansas. They're

1224
00:52:01,679 --> 00:52:04,760
gonna try to spoil It might not be a pooch punt.

1225
00:52:04,679 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 3: But they're gonna try something.

1226
00:52:06,079 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 2: They're gonna try to something to play spoiler alert because look,

1227
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,880
if they're able to knock you out, then that would

1228
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:12,639
just make things worse.

1229
00:52:12,639 --> 00:52:14,159
Speaker 3: Then a Cincinnati win is a must win.

1230
00:52:14,199 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 2: I mean it's a must win regardless because you can't

1231
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,679
let Cincinnati have the tie break over you. But that

1232
00:52:18,679 --> 00:52:20,960
puts you in a really tough spot if you lose

1233
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,480
to Cincinnati. You do not want to lose to Cincinnati

1234
00:52:23,639 --> 00:52:26,480
because then the tiebreaks if Houston comes into a mix.

1235
00:52:26,519 --> 00:52:29,159
I mean, look, obviously you'll be over Utah because BA

1236
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,719
you beat them, and Arizona State will still be behind.

1237
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,639
But that just makes things way difficult when we get

1238
00:52:33,639 --> 00:52:34,519
in too many tie breaks.

1239
00:52:34,519 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 3: So went out.

1240
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 2: You're the second team, you automatically improve that you're the

1241
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:38,719
second best team in the Big twelve.

1242
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,079
Speaker 3: They have that opportunity on Saturday. We'll see what they do.

1243
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 2: But guys, that was your player profile second with Austin
