for you. Again to delve into a lot of national

14
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:54,960
championship talk. Indiana, I mean just Indiana versus of Miami

15
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:57,920
was a more entertaining game than I think most people

16
00:00:58,960 --> 00:00:59,960
thought they were signing up for.

17
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 3: UH.

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,359
Speaker 1: To me, there was there was competition, there was UH grit,

19
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:10,480
there was physicality, there's creativity. UH special teams UH being

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,920
an integral part in this game that ultimately led to

21
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,280
a victory. UH shout out to Indiana for doing something

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,680
that nobody thought was possible one of the greatest maybe

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,159
sports stories that I have ever seen, especially in college

24
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:28,439
football that has been so heavily dominated by UH, you know,

25
00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:33,680
certain teams, certain conferences. In Indiana, UH has never had

26
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:37,560
never experienced a double digit win season until last year

27
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,239
under Kirk Signetti. UH and they just won a national championship.

28
00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:45,120
And many of you said that college football was broken,

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,879
it's broken. This is a This is proof that it

30
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:57,159
it's not broken. In fact, finally, the the underdog, the.

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,519
Speaker 3: The gritty, tenacious, chip on your shoulder underdog.

32
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,599
Speaker 1: One a college football national championship.

33
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: Can you believe that the power brokers.

34
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: Have been upended? They've been They've been disrupted. That's what

35
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:17,039
that tells me. In Miami, I mean, they haven't been

36
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,360
relevant in a long time as it relates to the

37
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:22,879
national scene. I know they've had some good seasons here,

38
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,039
there no doubt, but I mean it's been a minute since,

39
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,159
you know, they've been in that type of limelight. And

40
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:33,000
they were actually a team that, you know, per many

41
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,280
experts didn't deserve to be in the college football playoffs.

42
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,439
Speaker 3: So two underdogs.

43
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,719
Speaker 1: Essentially meeting in the national championship game.

44
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: I loved it.

45
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: We'll delve into it, loved every second of it. It

46
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,080

62
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:29,479
One of the interesting commentaries that I thought we would

63
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:32,000
start off with and maybe delve into it in the

64
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,000
Nadie Gritty most BYU fans. You look at the first

65
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:40,039
time National Championship winner, there's been like five of them

66
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,400
since nineteen eighty four. B YU obviously being one of

67
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:46,080
those teams first timers, Right, it's.

68
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:46,439
Speaker 3: Been a minute.

69
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:51,199
Speaker 1: It's been a long time since BYU was in competition

70
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:54,680
in the conversation for a national championship. Right, There's been

71
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,360
a few times where BYU has flirted, but they've always

72
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,680
been just outside of the circle of trust. Right, the

73
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:05,680
power brokerage, if you will, the cabal, the college football cartel.

74
00:04:06,439 --> 00:04:10,800
But Travis Hansen, former BYU great, that's aiding at supporting

75
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,439
the BAYU football program right now with his expertise, said this,

76
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,399
if Indiana can win a Natty, everyone better believe we

77
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,759
can do it. Again, do you believe that, Kugarnation, do

78
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,360
you believe we're on the precipice of possibly doing something?

79
00:04:27,399 --> 00:04:27,519
Speaker 4: Like?

80
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,079
Speaker 3: How far is BYU away from.

81
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,439
Speaker 1: Being in Indiana, from being a Miami, from being in

82
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,680
Ohio state, from being a even a Texas tech How

83
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,439
far away are we? How much is how much of

84
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,240
a gap is there? And so introspectively we asked that question, Well, well,

85
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,480
we'll leave it up to Kugarnation as well, how far

86
00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:50,680
away are we from winning a national championship? And do

87
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,639
you have a roster next year to really compete and

88
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:54,480
get into the Collge Football Playoff and be a part

89
00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:57,279
of that conversation. We'll delve into that and much more

90
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,480
here on your Utah ESPN Radio network. Why don't we

91
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,839
Why don't we fired up the f me and the

92
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,680
fans starting lineup so I can introduce you to my

93
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,240
coast and the rest at the start start of cast.

94
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,839
You want to get through this Tuesday, January twenty edition.

95
00:05:07,639 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 3: Of Cougar Sports. It's two a five alon on the

96
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:10,439
Washatch front.

97
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,399
Speaker 1: We're gonna be giving you four hours of fantastic college

98
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:16,680
football content, delving into all the news and notes of

99
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,480
the day. Let's welcome in first and foremost executive producer, coast.

100
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:22,519
Speaker 3: Host, former BYU rugby player.

101
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: Let's welcome in the bucket, get Ronald the three man Weaver?

102
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:26,759
Speaker 3: What's up, Roddy?

103
00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:27,399
Speaker 5: What's up?

104
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:27,639
Speaker 3: Look?

105
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:30,439
Speaker 5: This is all I'm gonna say on the matter. BYU

106
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:32,800
You're gonna.

107
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 6: Want to be in a national championship again because the

108
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,839
former BYU player was I know that sharpman intercept of

109
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,560
the ball, but who is the ball intended for?

110
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,319
Speaker 5: One? In fact, former.

111
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 6: BYUI receiver Keiland Marion still missing it from the portal Ben.

112
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,920
They still need a guy like that. They still need

113
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:49,480
to go get a guy like that. So I think

114
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,680
they can become natty bound and win one if they

115
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,040
can get a guy like Keelan Neck and make you

116
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:56,759
respect the defense. I still think that's missing from this

117
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:57,560
BAU roster.

118
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: It would be nice to get a wide receiver one.

119
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,959
Speaker 1: Some people believe that Parker Kingston is that guy that

120
00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:05,839
maybe Kyler Kasper can be the guy. Jojo Phillips could

121
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:09,160
possibly be that guy. You got Legend Glaster coming in.

122
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,480
You have a young Nikua in the in the wide

123
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:17,519
receiver room. You also have Terrence Serion, the former Washington commit.

124
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,199
You've got some talented there's no doubt. But is there

125
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,480
a wide receiver one? Many people are not buying the

126
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,639
the the availability the existence of this wide receiver one.

127
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,720
But maybe possibly. I mean, you look at Parker Kingston,

128
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,839
what he produced. He almost produced a thousand yards this

129
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:36,480
year in receiving. He's pretty good in the run game too,

130
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,879
and he was fantastic in the punt return game. The

131
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:41,639
issue that he has is he's not as like you're

132
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:44,360
bringing up Keilan Marrin here. He's not as thick, maybe

133
00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:47,800
not as powerful. But Parker's getting a little bit more robust,

134
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,680
He's getting a little bit more as g Man likes

135
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,199
to call a little bit more girthy. He's getting a

136
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,480
little bit more dense, and he was breaking arm tackles.

137
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,519
And I was impressed with p K and he very

138
00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:00,560
well could be on a trajectory to be that wide

139
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,199
receiver one don't sleep on PK. Liz also welcome into

140
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:06,279
the show Hammer Time show Brent always bringing the hammer.

141
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 3: How the heck are you, buddy?

142
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,199
Speaker 4: Then there used to be a time on this planet

143
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,959
where individuals believed that the Earth was flat, yes, And

144
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,319
there used to be questions about gravity, and there used

145
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,920
to be lots of things that we thought we knew

146
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:21,639
in the world of science until we learned something else

147
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,959
that said, oh you know what, everything that we thought

148
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,720
we knew to be a science actually wasn't a science

149
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,639
at all. And it's so funny because I remember hundreds

150
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:33,279
and hundreds of conversations with fans and all kinds of

151
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:35,959
other people who said, nil is just going to ruin

152
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,480
the sport man, It's just going to be Nick Saban

153
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,720
and Alabama year after year after year after year. I'm

154
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,800
pretty sure the SEC wasn't the Natty champion the last

155
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,439
three years. I'm pretty sure the National champion this year

156
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,360
was the losingest program in the history of the sport.

157
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: YEP.

158
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 4: Part of my issue with college football fans a little

159
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,600
bit is they believe leave.

160
00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:02,759
Speaker 3: Too much.

161
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 4: I think in we know what's best for the sport,

162
00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:10,319
and we know exactly what's going to happen, because I mean,

163
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,680
in all reality, had I told you three years ago

164
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,560
Indiana's gonna win a chip in three years, everyone would

165
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,000
have said you were crazy. And I just think there's

166
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,480
a lot of conversations right now with playoff expansion and

167
00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:25,199
some other things in the sport, and there's like the

168
00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:27,920
big Internet take right now is how the twenty fourteen

169
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,240
playoff is the worst idea Josh Pat's the most pathetic

170
00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:32,519
idea in the history of the sport.

171
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: And the only.

172
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 4: Pushback I would give is that year after year, this

173
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:39,799
sport proves to us that everything we thought that would

174
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:42,759
be a science ended up not being as true as

175
00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:47,080
we thought it would be. So going forward, I just say,

176
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,480
as college foball fans, I know we are married to

177
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:51,200
the integrity of the game and the way that it's

178
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,240
been one hundred years. Sometimes things change, sometimes things don't

179
00:08:55,279 --> 00:08:58,000
go the way you believe in your heart they're going

180
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:02,080
to in Indiana winning championship for Nanda Mendoza, a guy

181
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,200
who had no offers out of high school, winning the Heisman.

182
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,240
This is all proof that we may not yell Yale.

183
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,720
Oh yeah, there you go. Sorry, that's not necessarily absolute

184
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:13,519
football jug or not in the ivy. It's my bad

185
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:17,200
outside of that, Like everything we thought we knew to

186
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,600
be true wasn't. So as we go forward with the sport.

187
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,600
The sport's gonna grow. Let's grow with it instead of

188
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,360
trying to hold it back.

189
00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, some people would rather be lied to, though. Some

190
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,879
people want to live in delusion.

191
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,799
Speaker 1: Like you see those people, you know, they they or

192
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:34,039
they they're so nostalgic about the past because they just

193
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,440
didn't know the truth, right, They didn't know what was

194
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,840
being cooked in the kitchen. They just wanted to the

195
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,000
They just wanted that that whatever taste they were looking for, right,

196
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,399
I don't want to know about how it's cooked.

197
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,159
Speaker 3: Just feed it to me. Tell me lies, tell me

198
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,000
sweet little lies.

199
00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:51,799
Speaker 1: Bring it through the back door instead of the front door. Right, yeah,

200
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:57,080
thanks coach. Oh right, A harmful truth. Not many people

201
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,240
like harmful truths that disrupt their reality. You know it

202
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:05,720
may be religious, it may be theological, it may be political,

203
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:08,919
it may be you know, maybe even scientific. These truths,

204
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,840
these confirmation biases. I always say, like most of us

205
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,960
would rather have confirmation bias than truth. Why yeah, why

206
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,799
would we want confirmation bias over true unadulterated truth, because

207
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,799
then we'd have to change our reality?

208
00:10:25,039 --> 00:10:26,879
Speaker 3: Right, And for many people.

209
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:30,159
Speaker 1: The what they you got to realize b Yu thinks

210
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,200
we are law abiding people. We love our White Handbook,

211
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,919
we love the commandments. We build commandments around commandments. We're like, well,

212
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,440
we got this word of wisdom, why don't we make

213
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,639
that into a temple question?

214
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Well, let's let's let's antie up.

215
00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:50,039
Speaker 1: Let's be more righteous or modern day Jeesus at college, like,

216
00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:52,600
just build laws. How many steps can we take on

217
00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:53,960
the Sabbath to keep it holy?

218
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 3: Right?

219
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: And if I keep if I if I always take

220
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,440
five steps, I'm more holy than you.

221
00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 3: I'm keeping that Sabbath day holy.

222
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: Anyway, we like laws, and for a long time, we

223
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,679
were abiding by the laws, the bylaws of the nc

224
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:13,600
double A for a long time, and we took pride

225
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,639
in that right. We're not cheating, We're doing it the

226
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,639
right way. We're not paying players, and yet we're winning

227
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,519
more than anybody else. We're winning per dollar spim more

228
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,480
than anybody else. We don't even pay our coach one

229
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,200
hundred thousand dollars. LaBelle Edwards was barely making one hundred

230
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:38,279
gs in two thousand in his final season. I mean,

231
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,720
just ridiculous. So like we take pride in that. And

232
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:45,279
so then you realize, like, wait, the NCLA has been

233
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,840
operating as an illegal monopoly, and it's if you suit them,

234
00:11:49,879 --> 00:11:53,519
they're gonna lose every antitrust case. By the laws that

235
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,320
I remember, we're allowed by the people. We obey and

236
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,799
sustain the laws of the land. Didn't know though, you

237
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,879
didn't know what was legal and what was illegal. At

238
00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:05,440
the time, you were in ignorance. You were living in

239
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,159
your confirmation by his truth too. And that's where a

240
00:12:08,159 --> 00:12:09,919
lot of people, a lot of Boa fans have struggled

241
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,000
to make this transition.

242
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,759
Speaker 3: Now I think they're bought in.

243
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: Now they understand the landscape that they're in, right, and

244
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:20,120
the old school people are are realizing, wait a second,

245
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:24,000
they have this truth before them. Indiana just win a

246
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,480
national championship. That's good for the sport. This is good

247
00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:32,159
for the sport. Kurt Signetti was able to compete and

248
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,799
go out and acquire players with nil transfer portal, and

249
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,840
he mentioned, He's like, well, our payroll was not as

250
00:12:38,879 --> 00:12:42,559
high as everybody else thinks, and I I would agree

251
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:42,840
with him.

252
00:12:42,919 --> 00:12:43,879
Speaker 3: Look at the roster, and.

253
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,039
Speaker 4: I want to believe because we've said the same thing

254
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,159
and everyone's like, no, BIU is lying.

255
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,279
Speaker 3: So I'm inclined, like I want.

256
00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 4: To give them the benefit of that out because I

257
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,639
want people to give us the benefit.

258
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: Of yeh yeah, one hundred percent. No, But I look

259
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:55,480
at their roster.

260
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: If the composite rating is true seventy second, you know,

261
00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:06,480
seven stars, I mean, is it more than twenty million?

262
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: It's probably it, maybe less than that.

263
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,879
Speaker 1: I mean if Texas Tech paid twenty eight million for

264
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,039
their roster, which was pretty strategic, but they went on

265
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,159
got some guys, especially on that defensive front, did the

266
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,480
Hoosiers pay more than Texas Tech? I don't think so,

267
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,639
you know what I mean, I don't think so. Miami

268
00:13:22,799 --> 00:13:26,120
was a top five spender in the portal and you

269
00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:30,879
saw that in their defensive front too too. First round, God,

270
00:13:31,159 --> 00:13:34,840
that D line was crazy. Honestly, I think that's how

271
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,919
Miami won so many games, because look at the end

272
00:13:36,919 --> 00:13:39,679
of that game, Carson Beck was exactly who he was

273
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,799
in his time at at Georgia and who he was

274
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,240
when they lost to those unranked teams.

275
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 4: And by the way, he didn't even go to class

276
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,000
for two years apparently. I'm still curious how that worked out.

277
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,279
And if it was true, why would you be dumb

278
00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:53,120
enough to say it in impress Cotton, Well.

279
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,039
Speaker 3: He's not going to school. He's not going to school.

280
00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:58,919
Speaker 4: I mean, the big misconception about common sense is that

281
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,600
it's not that common. It's clearly Carson back. But yeah,

282
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,480
that defensive line for Miami was absurd. They were eating

283
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:07,039
Fernanda Mendoza alive.

284
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,519
Speaker 3: Yeap, yes they were.

285
00:14:08,799 --> 00:14:12,039
Speaker 1: It was an awesome game though, And I think, like

286
00:14:12,159 --> 00:14:15,600
my automatic reaction to this, and I've said it throughout

287
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:18,720
the season, I'm like, this is a really, really good

288
00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:21,519
thing for the game. Now, does there need to be guardrails?

289
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,320
Is there need to be certain things that need.

290
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:27,679
Speaker 3: To be changed off? Of course they do.

291
00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: But this is a great This is called the pendulum

292
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,039
swing in the free market. Right, you let the free market,

293
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,399
you know, work itself. And Indiana the losingest team in

294
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:44,039
college football history is a national champion. Now everyon's gonna say, wow,

295
00:14:44,039 --> 00:14:47,080
it's Kirk Signetti and he deserves a lot of the credit.

296
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,360
There's no doubt about it. How much of is it

297
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,039
is Kirk Signetti? How much is an NIL transfer portal? Right,

298
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,919
if you're gonna pick one or the other, most people

299
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,720
understand that it's probably it's probably mostly Kirk Sinnetti it is,

300
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,440
but he needed to operate. Also, he doesn't have the

301
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,399
success as he doesn't have the accelerated success without NIL

302
00:15:08,519 --> 00:15:10,559
and the transporporter, because you could have lost some guys

303
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:11,039
along the.

304
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,279
Speaker 3: Way in those two years.

305
00:15:12,799 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: But it's truly a remarkable miracle in collegiate athletics that

306
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,480
has been so dominated by the cartel and the college

307
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,159
football cabal and the power structure of the power brokers.

308
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,399
Speaker 3: And shout out to Indiana.

309
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:28,759
Speaker 1: Shout out to Kirk Signetti doing it in a unique fashion,

310
00:15:29,159 --> 00:15:33,759
doing it their way, and just google him. He wins.

311
00:15:34,039 --> 00:15:38,639
That's what he said. He said that in this first

312
00:15:38,679 --> 00:15:39,960
freaking press cottage.

313
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,919
Speaker 3: I cannot believe.

314
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,679
Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw hamahem Molee tweeted out today,

315
00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:46,600
then he said they need to make a sequel.

316
00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:48,879
Speaker 3: To Hoosiers Hoosiers two, and this is the story, no doubt.

317
00:15:49,039 --> 00:15:51,519
I'm good with that. I'm down with it. It's a

318
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:53,240
tremendous story. Guys.

319
00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:55,879
Speaker 1: Shout out to Vic Cram on the data aggration in

320
00:15:55,879 --> 00:15:58,120
our newsletter. Check out the rest of our ESPN the

321
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,639
fans starting and line up. We got a great start

322
00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:04,120
stud of cast. We're gonna get into some women's hoops

323
00:16:04,159 --> 00:16:07,000
at three oh five with Delaney Gibb Baller's shot collar

324
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,240
for the women's basketball team.

325
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: Don't miss that four oh five.

326
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: A little keeping up with the Cougar slash missionary moment

327
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,120
with Robbie Bosco, the National Championship quarterback. The last time

328
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,240
BYU won a Natty, he was at the Helm. We'll

329
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,200
ask him the question, how far are we are we

330
00:16:20,559 --> 00:16:25,639
away from winning another Natty? Also get some missionary updates

331
00:16:25,639 --> 00:16:28,879
as he's been called to serve Logan Magdison former BYU

332
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,799

Speaker 3: Utah dot com.

364
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this question, how is it that

365
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,319
a man that has been coaching since man nineteen eighty three,

366
00:18:16,079 --> 00:18:19,200
I think that was his first season as a coach.

367
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,279
He started off as a GA at the University of

368
00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:25,720
Pittsburgh in nineteen eighty three nineteen eighty four. By the way,

369
00:18:25,759 --> 00:18:28,359
in the year that BAU won the Natty in those

370
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,599
two years, isn't that crazy? In the first ESPN game

371
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,799
broadcasted nineteen eighty four b Way versus pitt he was

372
00:18:35,839 --> 00:18:38,119
there on the other side, by the way. Wow, kind

373
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,519
of a fun fact for you. That was his second

374
00:18:40,599 --> 00:18:44,960
year of coaching as a GA. Ended up going to Davidson. Yes,

375
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:48,599
Davidson had a football team. Quarterback and wide receivers, Rice

376
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,920
quarterbacks coach, Temple quarterbacks coach, went back to pitt quarterback

377
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,920
and tight ends coach NC State from two thousand two

378
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,960
thousand and six, Quarterback tight end and run game coordinator

379
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,160
from two thousand and seven to twenty ten Alabama as

380
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:08,839
the wide receiver coach and run coordinator. Iui he became

381
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,559
a head coach. I believe he had to go down

382
00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:18,319
to iup the Crimson Hawks football Division two program to

383
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,759
become a head coach in twenty eleven, So it was

384
00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:24,000
a little over a decade ago he became a head coach.

385
00:19:24,319 --> 00:19:25,359
So he had to go down. He wanted to be

386
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,720
a head coach. He wanted to do it his way.

387
00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:29,839
He became the Elon head coach James Madison and then

388
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,480
finally Indiana to become a Power for head coach in

389
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:40,599
a Power Conference. He had to coach from nineteen eighty

390
00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:44,680
three to two thousand and twenty three without becoming a

391
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,160
head coach. He was sixty two years of age before

392
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,160
becoming a head coach at the Power four level. And

393
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,599
then he just won a national championship. And that's insane.

394
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,279
Speaker 3: That's such a cool story. Though, to tell people like, hey,

395
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,359
you're never too late in life to peak.

396
00:20:01,799 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 4: This guy didn't peak until he I don't know, he's

397
00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:06,400
in his sixties.

398
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,079
Speaker 3: Now he's sixty four.

399
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 4: But not only is he peaking at sixty four, he

400
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,720
like you said earlier, this might be the greatest turnaround

401
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:18,039
comeback story in the history of sports, not just football,

402
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,799
not just one sport, in the history of sport.

403
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 3: This might be it.

404
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,519
Speaker 4: And so like, that's such a cool I think lesson

405
00:20:25,559 --> 00:20:28,119
to take from like, and he said that last night

406
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,680
in his press or something about like, if you just

407
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,920
put your nose to the grindstone, man, Yeah, like, yep,

408
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:36,519
you if you just keep doing it, it eventually works out.

409
00:20:36,559 --> 00:20:39,119
And I'm sure I'd love to talk to his wife

410
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,519
because I'm sure there's moments in his life where he's like, look, honey,

411
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:44,079
I don't know if this is ever gonna work out

412
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,720
for me. I may just have to be cool with

413
00:20:45,759 --> 00:20:47,440
the fact that I'm gonna be a coordinator for the

414
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:48,960
rest of my life and I'm never gonna win.

415
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,799
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. He wasn't even like an oc DC.

416
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,400
He was a run coordinator. Like he was a position coach.

417
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,599
He was a position he was an eternal position coach,

418
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:00,359
is what he was.

419
00:21:01,559 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 3: That's what he was.

420
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: And he was a he was a recruiting coordinator. Sorry,

421
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,440
he was a recruiting corner. So that's where he's made

422
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,319
to say it was. It was not It wasn't run

423
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,839
coordinator was a recruiting coordinator. I apologize, I got that wrong.

424
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,759
Speaker 3: Recruiting corner. So he was always evaluating talent. He was

425
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:13,920
always watching film.

426
00:21:14,319 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: You look at the guys that watch a shizz ton

427
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,839
of film, Okay, Bill Belichick watched a ton of film.

428
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: Nick Saban watched a ton of films they I.

429
00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 4: Believe Kurt Signetti worked for at one point was working

430
00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:26,519
for Nick Saban exactly.

431
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: So when he was at Alabama, like you know, he

432
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,319
was doing a lot of the film watching at eval

433
00:21:31,519 --> 00:21:37,519
and you saw the return on investment on recruits every

434
00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:42,400
single year. And that's why he says productivity over potential. Right,

435
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,160
you still have some some qualifying objective metrics that you're

436
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,039
looking at, maybe high weight, speed.

437
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: Et cetera. But you're looking for good football players, right,

438
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:52,000
the whole.

439
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: John football player. He's just a football player. That's what's

440
00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:58,359
great about football. He's like, you know, you don't necessarily

441
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,240
have to look and and and run in a certain

442
00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:04,400
way to be a great football player. He's got to

443
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,759
be a football player. And so Fernana Mendoza two star

444
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,160
recruit with yale as is only offer and he was

445
00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:15,440
denied the ability to walk on at Miami, his hometown school, right,

446
00:22:16,759 --> 00:22:19,519
he wasn't even good enough to be a walk on there, Okay,

447
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,079
not even good enough to and eventually finds his way

448
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,359
to cal and plays well enough, and then Kurt Signetti

449
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,880
finds him and he becomes a Heisman Trophy candidate and

450
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,640
winner of that international champion. And so it's really crazy

451
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,559
just what's happened in the modern era and all the

452
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,119
dominoes that have fall that have fallen in order for

453
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,759
a store like this to come to Fruition. You know,

454
00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:47,200
Kurt had to wait till his sixty second year to

455
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,759
become a head coach at a powerful institution.

456
00:22:51,279 --> 00:22:53,079
Speaker 3: And then he goes to a college football.

457
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,279
Speaker 1: Playoff and then expanded, like you need an expanded format

458
00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:57,400
because there's no an h Indiana was going to make

459
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,359
it maybe last year this year, yes, because of the

460
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,480
equity day that he had built, but you know, you

461
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:06,480
need the expanded playoff format to maybe get into the dance,

462
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,400
to get into the tournament, et cetera. And then he

463
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,680
went to Natty and you know, like I said, Fernanda Mendoza,

464
00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:15,079
like go down the list of players that they brought

465
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,319
in from James Madison too, you know, the game. Ceiling

466
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,839
pick is from from a kid from from Florida that

467
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,799
was overlooked and he became a system player within the

468
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,920
within James Madison under Kirk Signetti and his coaching staff,

469
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,359
and uh it, you know, yeah, you have the block

470
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,640
punt from another James Madison guy who was overlooked.

471
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 3: And what a play that was.

472
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: You know, as a cornerback, you know, you get you know,

473
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:44,119
cover two and you're isolated over there and you don't

474
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,319
have a threat to the threat flat. Uh you know,

475
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,160
sometimes it can complate with a third receiver coming across

476
00:23:50,279 --> 00:23:54,079
from the opposite side of the formation. But the fact

477
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,599
that he was dropping, continuing to drop and sink and

478
00:23:57,759 --> 00:23:59,759
being capable of high pointing and making that play with

479
00:23:59,799 --> 00:24:00,960
the was a little bit under throne.

480
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,599
Speaker 3: Wasn't a good throw by by Beck, but he did

481
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:03,960
it right.

482
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: Like that was a well coached team and you could

483
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,880
tell like when Malachi Toni got in the open field,

484
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,960
when when Brian got in the opening field, like all

485
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,359
the athletes in Miami, they would pull away. Indiana is

486
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,680
comprised of football players. A lot of those guys I

487
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,359
guarantee you in the secondary are four six, four five

488
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,440
guys maybe because they're getting like malay Tony is a

489
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,960
four four legit laser, he pulls away. But these guys

490
00:24:32,039 --> 00:24:36,000
they good angel angles. They understand their scheme. It really

491
00:24:36,079 --> 00:24:40,000
reminded me of honestly, like even our our two thousand

492
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,119
and six defensive team, we had some good players, there's

493
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:48,400
no doubt, but collectively, the the the the collective sum

494
00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:51,160
was greater than its parts. Like we just knew what

495
00:24:51,319 --> 00:24:53,359
we needed to do in order to execute, and we'd

496
00:24:53,519 --> 00:24:56,680
rally and we wouldn't miss tackles and we would make

497
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,519
plays when the ball came to us. It was a

498
00:24:58,599 --> 00:25:02,160
total team doing your an eleventh effort. And so that's

499
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,519
what Indiana was this year.

500
00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:04,759
Speaker 3: It was awesome.

501
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,599
Speaker 1: It really was fun to watch, and I'm so glad

502
00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:11,839
my son, four year old was sitting next to me.

503
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 3: He needed to be in bed.

504
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: Let him stay up and watch it, hopefully making a memory,

505
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,960
right because he gets pretty crazy, you know, once he's overtired,

506
00:25:20,079 --> 00:25:22,400
as you know many of you guys know being around toddlers.

507
00:25:22,759 --> 00:25:26,000
But he's like dad, who's gonna win the game. And

508
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,519
it was like, I don't know, second quarter or something

509
00:25:28,599 --> 00:25:33,799
like that. I'm like, well, Miami is more talented, but

510
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,119
Indiana's a better football team in there.

511
00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 3: And not to say Miami's miamis.

512
00:25:39,519 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: A well coached football team, but you saw these little

513
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:51,440
interventions of undisciplined action, face mask, late, hit holding, Like

514
00:25:51,559 --> 00:25:56,759
I mean, they're just not as disciplined, not as refined,

515
00:25:56,799 --> 00:25:59,759
not as operational, not as that the attention to d

516
00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:03,200
tail right, doing the right thing the right way over

517
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:06,119
a long period of time. These are habits. Is we

518
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,759
all know, look at our habits. We're We're in a

519
00:26:08,839 --> 00:26:11,759
cumutive sum of our habits in life, right. And that's

520
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:14,240
not to say we can't change those habits because look

521
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,480
at look, look you know we can change and we

522
00:26:16,599 --> 00:26:19,079
can do something right. We can peak at sixty four.

523
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,200
We all need to realize that. One of my favorite podcasters,

524
00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:24,559
Gary Vee, he talks a lot about that because.

525
00:26:24,279 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 3: He talks about, hey, you can peak later on.

526
00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:28,319
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is, like I was telling my son,

527
00:26:28,319 --> 00:26:30,400
I'm like, Indiana is the better football team, and the

528
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,440
Indiana is gonna win. They're gonna win because they're a

529
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,160
better collective football team. And I'm glad I was right

530
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,119
because now my son thinks that you know, you're like he.

531
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 3: Told told you, you know, told you you know they won.

532
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,319
He's like, yeah, you know, they won, right.

533
00:26:47,599 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: But it's uh, you know, I love football for so

534
00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:54,359
many reasons. We talk about how why we love sport. Right,

535
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,720
Sometimes it's a it's a distraction of like all the

536
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,680
chaos and tumultuous nature.

537
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 3: The descind of this, the liciviousness of the world and

538
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,640
all the bad that's going on. So it's a you

539
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:06,359
canna be a distraction.

540
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,319
Speaker 1: But to me, you you can learn in these enduring

541
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,400
qualities that can help you not only in this life,

542
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,640
but I believe in the next life, right, Yeah, I

543
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,240
believe in the next life. And so uh you look

544
00:27:18,319 --> 00:27:21,079
at what what it takes to uh you know, pure

545
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:27,559
pure greatness, pure meritocracy, not political not ussurping power through

546
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,920
these uh you know these these you know, over the

547
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,000
over this the thousands of years that humans have run

548
00:27:35,079 --> 00:27:37,079
the earth, Like it's pure in its sense, like it

549
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:42,279
was earned that national championship, was earned by merit, by habit,

550
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,799
by grit, by physicality.

551
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 3: There was no like, it wasn't soullied by anything. It

552
00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:51,920
really wasn't.

553
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: It was not contaminated or corrupted by anything. And that's

554
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,440
what I love about football because it's the ultimate team game,

555
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,559
and truly, more often than not, the best football team wins,

556
00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:06,920
not the most talented team, not the most out In basketball,

557
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,119
the most talented team typically wins. Right, not to say

558
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,640
that again, it can't be a lot of like you know,

559
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,279
good coaching involved in stuff like that, but typically the

560
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,519
most talent like the most talented tennis player, the most

561
00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:19,519
talented talents and talented talented. No, it's the grit and

562
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,880
it's the collective sum of the parts, and that's why

563
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,400
I love this trajectory. All of it culminated to one

564
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,960
of the most iconic, if not the most iconic season

565
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:35,039
in college football history. I don't think there are many

566
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,680
seasons in college football that top this, the stories that

567
00:28:39,799 --> 00:28:45,079
are involved, the personalities involved, all of the eyeballs on this.

568
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,599
In a new world, a new college football landscape, headed

569
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:54,720
up by a no star quarterback and a no star

570
00:28:55,319 --> 00:28:56,119
position coach.

571
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,359
Speaker 3: I think for a long time we'll remember the LSU season.

572
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,519
That twenty nine season was.

573
00:29:02,559 --> 00:29:06,079
Speaker 4: Unreal once again, and I think that seem I think

574
00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:09,480
that team probably is better than Indiana if they had

575
00:29:09,519 --> 00:29:11,960
to play head to head. But I will tell you this,

576
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,200
I think in fifty years, you ask me which one

577
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,559
I remember more, It is one hundred percent Indiana over

578
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:22,599
LSU because of all of the reason that you just mentioned.

579
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,680
I mean you you could not write a story in

580
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,680
Hollywood better than this, and if you did write it,

581
00:29:28,759 --> 00:29:31,119
nobody would watch it because nobody would believe that that

582
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,200
story could ever happen.

583
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:33,119
Speaker 3: And it did.

584
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:36,319
Speaker 4: And I just love that we've blown away this notion that, oh,

585
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,960
if you have more five stars, you just win. That's

586
00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:43,400
how it goes, clearly, and honestly, I think most people, honestly,

587
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,720
up until this season, I would have believed that way, Like,

588
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:48,440
look man, Indiana's a great story.

589
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 3: But we see this every year, there's a great story.

590
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,000
Who loses.

591
00:29:51,759 --> 00:29:55,799
Speaker 4: Indiana proved you do not have to just have five

592
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,240
stars to win ballgames.

593
00:29:57,519 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 3: You can do it other ways.

594
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 4: They proved it on the field, and I love it

595
00:30:01,079 --> 00:30:04,640
because I think it really changes now. I think every

596
00:30:04,799 --> 00:30:07,440
coach in America going up to this point was like,

597
00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:09,319
look man, we got to get the most five stars.

598
00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:13,039
You have now created a whole different way of playing

599
00:30:13,119 --> 00:30:15,200
and coaching the game, and I think this is really

600
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,039
great for the sport.

601
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,319
Speaker 1: Football is still very much I say this all the time,

602
00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:22,599
and I think it's what has led BYU two being

603
00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:26,720
as good as it has been, you know, not only

604
00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:31,119
in the modern era, but over the last fifty years. Obviously,

605
00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:35,680
it's it's culture, it's cohesion, it's development like it's strength

606
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,759
and conditioning, it's nutrition, it's all these things. It's refining

607
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,440
your skill set and having tenure combined with some baseline

608
00:30:44,519 --> 00:30:47,039
good talent, right you still need I mean, Ferananda Mendoz

609
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,400
is a tall, athletic young man.

610
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:50,359
Speaker 5: Right like.

611
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:57,519
Speaker 1: Obviously he's developed though into a national champion, Heisman Trophy candidate,

612
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,680
finalist and winner. Like it all is sequential in his development.

613
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,359
It's a developmental sport. And so it begs the question,

614
00:31:04,839 --> 00:31:09,079
as Travis Hansen pointed out, you know, in his tweet

615
00:31:09,359 --> 00:31:12,079
after the game, and I'm I'm in lockstep with him.

616
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:14,559
I think it's possible. Anything is possible, As Kevin Garnett

617
00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:17,839
once said in his in his postgame speech, right, I

618
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:23,440
love KG. So if Indiana can win a Natty, everyone

619
00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:24,640
better believe we can.

620
00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:28,519
Speaker 3: Do it again with BAU football. How far away is

621
00:31:28,559 --> 00:31:31,599

663
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,200
player that that is similar to the Fernando Mendoza, you

664
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,519
know what I mean, Like I wanted to was like,

665
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,960
is there has there ever been a person like Fernando

666
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,839
Mendoze at b YU, the form and fashion which he

667
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,400
engages with the media, you know what I mean. Like

668
00:33:53,839 --> 00:33:56,240
I was kind of pondering that a little bit. And

669
00:33:56,799 --> 00:33:58,720
he's so unique, is what I'm getting at. He's a

670
00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:01,720
very singular personality. I mean, We've had our fair shrif

671
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,599
of singular personalities. I mean, look, Jamal Swage, Daddy Williams.

672
00:34:04,319 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: One of my favorites.

673
00:34:05,119 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: Right We've had some very mean Trey right now is

674
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,159
one of our our favorite personalities right now on the

675
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,960
BU Football roster. And and it's fun to listen to,

676
00:34:17,119 --> 00:34:20,360
fun to interact with on social et cetera, and uh

677
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:21,280
in front.

678
00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 3: Of the media, et cetera. But like I just Fernando's

679
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,400
a unique individual. Man.

680
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,079
Speaker 1: I wish them nothing but the best. We're all fans

681
00:34:27,079 --> 00:34:30,280
of Fernanda Mendoza. And how about that final run of

682
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:35,199
his little QB Lee draw. They knew that that, I mean,

683
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,000
they had a premonition that Miami would bring their format

684
00:34:39,079 --> 00:34:42,159
front right kind of a traditional format front, and they dropped.

685
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:43,960
They went man on one side and zone on the

686
00:34:44,039 --> 00:34:48,480
other side, and so Fernando had had a nice alley

687
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:51,960
to you know, run at the middle. Good blocking obviously,

688
00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:55,199
but like the effort after initial contact was what was

689
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,119
so great. You talk about story.

690
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:03,159
Speaker 3: Book endings, that is a is a Remember the Titans

691
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:04,639
type of finish, like.

692
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: Where he's like he gets hit, spins off of it,

693
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,519
looks like he's going down, and then stumbles towards the

694
00:35:11,639 --> 00:35:16,679
end zone, leaps Superman style, gets obliterated.

695
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 3: I mean he may have got the air knocked at

696
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,239
him a little bit. Luckily he had that.

697
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: Backpad and that they have a kind of like a

698
00:35:23,519 --> 00:35:27,639
waste circumferential padding for quarterbacks so they don't get ribs broken,

699
00:35:27,679 --> 00:35:29,639
et cetera. Luckily he had that because that would have

700
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:33,840
been either spinal injury or or you know, some sort

701
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,679
of rib injury and scores the touchdown, hangs on to

702
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,320
the football on contact too. Not easy to do that

703
00:35:40,039 --> 00:35:44,639
when you're getting just demolished through your torso on the backside.

704
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 3: That looks like something like Cam Newton did in college.

705
00:35:47,519 --> 00:35:51,199
Speaker 4: Yeah not Look, Ferananima does is like a good athlete,

706
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,960
but we don't think of him as like an absolute

707
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,679
unit athletically, but on that play to your point, like

708
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,320
that's one we're gonna remember for ever.

709
00:36:01,519 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 3: And contrastly, like I was thinking back to.

710
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 4: My friends and are having this conversation, was watching the

711
00:36:07,599 --> 00:36:10,679
Bears game the other day, and that Caleb Williams touchdown

712
00:36:11,119 --> 00:36:12,519
where he runs like forty.

713
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 3: Yards back throws it off his back foot. One of

714
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:15,719
the most incredible players I've ever seen.

715
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,679
Speaker 4: But you know what, We're not going to remember that

716
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,480
play in the course of history because they lost that game,

717
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,400
whereas on the flip side, Fernando Mondorza gets that score,

718
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,559
and frankly, they needed that touchdown because if they don't

719
00:36:29,639 --> 00:36:31,360
get it, I think Miami would have been able to

720
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,719
run clock enough to go down and win that thing. Man,

721
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:41,519
just what an unbelievable again, like everything you would want

722
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,800
in a Hollywood movie script in the final game where

723
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:51,360
the the protagonist scores the game winning touchdown, Like everything.

724
00:36:51,079 --> 00:36:55,119
Speaker 3: Is is there, man, I mean, I it feels weird

725
00:36:55,159 --> 00:36:55,599
that this is.

726
00:36:55,679 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 4: Reality because everything about this season has felt so surreal.

727
00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 3: But again, like that's what makes sports great. Well, how

728
00:37:04,039 --> 00:37:09,239
far away is BYU from having its fairy tale ending?

729
00:37:10,159 --> 00:37:10,760
You know what I mean?

730
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: How far away are they look, do you have a

731
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,320
quarterback that can lead you? Like for Ananima Doz.

732
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 3: I think you do.

733
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, especially as a sophomore right now, if

734
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,840
you get him for four years, I mean and and

735
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,000
everyone's like four years, I'm like, well, you know, he's

736
00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:28,320
a really good college football quarterback. Is he going to

737
00:37:28,559 --> 00:37:33,000
get a draft status that would merit a second round,

738
00:37:33,039 --> 00:37:35,920
first round, third round, first day type of pick right

739
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,880
or is he a second day guy that could keep

740
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,719
him at BYU through four years if he wants to

741
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,800
do something special, if he wants to have a legacy,

742
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,679
or if the NFL is on the docket. I think

743
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,880
he's gonna need probably a little bit more arm strength.

744
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:52,480
You look at Fananama, does he can rip? Like he's

745
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,519
got pretty good arm strength, Not to say Bear can't,

746
00:37:55,559 --> 00:37:58,679
but I still don't. I think there's a you know,

747
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,760
if there's one thing that that Bear needs in his

748
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,559
arsenal to make the jump to the NFL, he needs

749
00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:05,840
a more live arm. So you got it at quarterback though,

750
00:38:06,039 --> 00:38:07,800
someone that can lead you. Some of that's gonna be

751
00:38:09,159 --> 00:38:15,039
that on brand for BYU. You have a coaching staff

752
00:38:15,119 --> 00:38:18,800
that has been able to be maintained offensively, I don't

753
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,639
think you're gonna lose a ron and his offensive staff

754
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,599
anytime soon. They've had consecutive top twenty five seasons offensively.

755
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,119
From most efficiency metrics that you're looking at, you can

756
00:38:29,159 --> 00:38:32,079
continue down that path. You have a pretty robust wide

757
00:38:32,119 --> 00:38:34,400
receiving corps. Maybe you don't have a wide receiver one

758
00:38:34,599 --> 00:38:37,039
that's you. You can make an argument for it. You

759
00:38:37,159 --> 00:38:41,239
do have a nice revamping, retooling, remodeling of your tight

760
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,199
end room with two really talented tight ends, and you've

761
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,320
seen tenured tight end Carson Rean come in have success

762
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,880
with it. You're reloading on the offensive line. You have

763
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,440
an All Big Twelve, the Big Twelve offensive player.

764
00:38:55,199 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 3: Of the Year in LJ. Martin.

765
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: You're maybe a little bit thin in the running back room,

766
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,199
so you'd like to maybe see something there. And we're

767
00:39:03,199 --> 00:39:05,760
talking about this this next season, but in the seasons

768
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,960
to come, the defense has ultimately retained all of its

769
00:39:10,039 --> 00:39:16,599
playmakers minus like a few guys that were rotational. I

770
00:39:16,679 --> 00:39:20,760
mean it, it doesn't seem you're too far off, But

771
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,000
where are the weak links?

772
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:23,199
Speaker 3: In your opinion?

773
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,679
Speaker 1: Bred always bring the hammer that Ronnie chime in All Nation.

774
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,000
Then I'll bring up the Caboose.

775
00:39:29,079 --> 00:39:31,199
Speaker 4: I feel like a broken record saying this, but I

776
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,719
feel like if you get a definitive, really strong like

777
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,039
RB one B, I feel like that unlocks unlocks Bear

778
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:39,480
in the offense because he doesn't have to carry, he

779
00:39:39,519 --> 00:39:44,000
doesn't have to be on as many fires in the kitchen,

780
00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:46,119
Like he can focus on just one thing and then

781
00:39:46,199 --> 00:39:48,039
be great at running the football when you need him

782
00:39:48,079 --> 00:39:50,079
to be, not all of the time. So I think

783
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,880
that and to me, if you figure that out, then

784
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,840
I don't know that wide receiver one is a huge

785
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,800
problem because look like they've been this good so far

786
00:39:59,599 --> 00:40:02,559
with that severe depth in the running back room and

787
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,599
without like a definitive Tentoroha McMillan type wide receiver one.

788
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,199
So to me, if you fix one of those, if

789
00:40:10,199 --> 00:40:13,280
you either get the absolute legend in the wide receiver

790
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,599
room or you get a definitive running back one B

791
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:21,840
a running back two, I think that solves itself offensively. Defensively,

792
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,880
I don't have too many questions, honestly, because every year

793
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,320
you're able to you seem to be able to reload

794
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:34,760
at linebacker pass rusher. I think like an elite, like

795
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,719
one of the best in the conference. If they got that.

796
00:40:39,639 --> 00:40:41,840
That to me solves a ton of issues because I

797
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,559
think you can cover for honest and probably longer than

798
00:40:44,599 --> 00:40:47,679
the average Big twelve team is able to without needing

799
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:48,760
that elite pass rush.

800
00:40:49,199 --> 00:40:51,079
Speaker 3: So that's probably all I would say.

801
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:56,599
Speaker 4: But even still, like, I think if this offense finds

802
00:40:56,639 --> 00:40:58,800
a way to be able to throw the football, because

803
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,000
that was really their biggest issue right with Texas Tech,

804
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:03,199
like they could run it, but they were so one

805
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,320
dimensional because they couldn't pass the football. You find a

806
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,679
way to stretch a defense, I think the offense can

807
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,719
figure it out, and I think your defense is probably

808
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,440
ninety five percent ninety percent there, in my.

809
00:41:15,519 --> 00:41:18,159
Speaker 3: Opinion, you're not too far off.

810
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,679
Speaker 1: Obviously, you're gonna be a I mean, look, if you're

811
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,519
a top fifteen team in college football and you've competed

812
00:41:23,559 --> 00:41:25,400
against some of the best, it's just like how far

813
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,519
away we looked at the BYU Texas Tech game as

814
00:41:28,559 --> 00:41:31,519
a good indicator of where we're at, and it doesn't

815
00:41:31,559 --> 00:41:34,880
look like we're all that close. Let's be honest, if

816
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,039
you do it that way, So if you take it

817
00:41:36,159 --> 00:41:37,960
by the rankings, like yeah, b ways close, because we

818
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,320
can get at the couch of ball playf and maybe

819
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,400
make a run. But then you compare yourself to a

820
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,239
team Texas Tech that ended up being a one and

821
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,639
done in that in that tournament, and you're like, man,

822
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:51,639
we're three scores off. You know, we're The defense doesn't

823
00:41:51,679 --> 00:41:54,199
seem that far off, right, not last year, maybe not

824
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,760
the year before, but the offense, even though they had

825
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:01,840
top twenty five efficiency rating, still felt a little bit lacking.

826
00:42:02,639 --> 00:42:04,960
First game, l J. Martin went out early in that

827
00:42:05,079 --> 00:42:09,199
game and they just weren't slinging it. Second game, bear

828
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,320
Bachmeyer kind of went out early with the high ankle sprain,

829
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,119
and then they had to throw the ball a little bit.

830
00:42:15,199 --> 00:42:18,199
The game plan maybe wasn't too sling it as much

831
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,079
and they just couldn't run the ball. If bear Bachmeyer

832
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,400
l J. Martin go down, obviously, that disrupts any sort

833
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,199
of quest for perfection that you saw.

834
00:42:30,199 --> 00:42:31,599
Speaker 3: Indiana stayed healthy.

835
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: One of the things that Kirk Signetti looks at when

836
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,920
he's evaluating talent is productivity.

837
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 3: Part of that has to do with how consistently you're

838
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,199
on the field. How healthy are you?

839
00:42:44,039 --> 00:42:44,159
Speaker 2: Right?

840
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:49,199
Speaker 1: The durability, Okay, that's a tough thing to quantify, but

841
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,920
you see it translate. You know, Jamal Williams Tyler asiar

842
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,599
really good studies. Jamal was highly productive only his senior

843
00:42:57,679 --> 00:42:59,599
year and then other schools started coming in because there

844
00:42:59,639 --> 00:43:02,079
was a run there was ahead of him that was

845
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,239
like a three four star talent at a Fontana and

846
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:07,840
so luckily by you got him.

847
00:43:08,039 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 3: Tyler ours here was a walk on, a walk on.

848
00:43:11,519 --> 00:43:13,599
Speaker 1: But if you look at his high school career, he

849
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,880
had like he had like over three thousand yards rushing

850
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,480
and never missed a game. And now look at Tyler

851
00:43:20,599 --> 00:43:22,039
what he did at BAU. Did he ever miss a

852
00:43:22,039 --> 00:43:24,000
game at BA I don't think he did. You know,

853
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,840
in the NFL he's as durable as ever, never fumbles

854
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:32,360
and he's always durable. So do we have that right

855
00:43:32,599 --> 00:43:37,639
right now? And maybe we do, but maybe we don't.

856
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,519
And so you're gonna have to run on depth. If

857
00:43:39,559 --> 00:43:43,840
you can't keep Bear and LJ healthy offensively, then you're

858
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:44,400
gonna have.

859
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:45,639
Speaker 3: To because that those are the two.

860
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: Like as I look at the Texas Tech game, the

861
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,239
defense played well enough. Special teams sucked in the first one.

862
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,840
They they craped the bed. Second game, he was better.

863
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,239
We needed better special teams in both those games. But Ultimately,

864
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,079
the offense was lacking. This couldn't move the football. And

865
00:44:02,159 --> 00:44:05,239
when they can't establish the run and they're not healthy

866
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,639
between LJ and Bear, it's hard to continue to sustain

867
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,800
those drives. That's kind of how I look at it, Like,

868
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,480
I'm not overly concerned about the defense. I'm not even

869
00:44:13,519 --> 00:44:15,320
concerned about special teams. I think they're gonna make it.

870
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:15,559
Speaker 3: Right.

871
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,519
Speaker 1: We got to figure out if we need depth or

872
00:44:18,519 --> 00:44:21,519
if we have the horses to stay healthy throughout.

873
00:44:23,639 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 3: Thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen game season. That's tough.

874
00:44:29,559 --> 00:44:33,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's to me the unique nature of what Indiana

875
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,119
did this year as well. I mean, Albert Mendoza could

876
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:39,719
have been a good backup quarterback for all we know.

877
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,320
He's in the portal right now, ended up at I

878
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:42,639
think he may end up at Georgia Tech.

879
00:44:42,679 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 3: His younger brother. Right.

880
00:44:44,519 --> 00:44:50,519
Speaker 1: Fernando stayed healthy, right, I mean Black, I think stayed healthy.

881
00:44:50,559 --> 00:44:53,599
Speaker 3: They're running back, A lot of.

882
00:44:53,559 --> 00:44:57,199
Speaker 1: Their key players just stayed healthy throughout that long and

883
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,480
our DUIs College football season nothing.

884
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:01,159
Speaker 3: To say about that.

885
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,559
Speaker 1: In nineteen e four, We're gonna have Robbie Bosco on

886
00:45:03,599 --> 00:45:08,400
the line, I believe, Okay, and we'll get a correction

887
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,920
from I believe, and I had heard this stat years

888
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,920
ago from some of the guys that played on the team.

889
00:45:13,199 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 3: They had no major injuries, none and key games.

890
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: I think Robbie went out, but he came back right

891
00:45:23,639 --> 00:45:26,239
in that in that in that Michigan game, but like

892
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:27,599
no one was missing.

893
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:32,559
Speaker 3: Time in key games. That's a huge boon. The durability,

894
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,199
the durabilities is massive.

895
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: So if you don't have durability, you better have depth,

896
00:45:40,199 --> 00:45:45,800
right you better have quality depth. And right now I

897
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,880
lean more towards like I think we're gonna have to

898
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:48,880
rely on more depth.

899
00:45:49,159 --> 00:45:49,639
Speaker 3: Do we have it?

900
00:45:49,679 --> 00:45:53,039
Speaker 1: It's Devon Eica, you know, a guy that it's gonna

901
00:45:53,039 --> 00:45:55,760
be the truth for next year. Like I wonder if

902
00:45:56,159 --> 00:45:57,920
we're all talking about how the roster is gonna be

903
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,519
better than it was last year, which I believe it

904
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,679
came and be and will be. But do we have

905
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,599
the depth, the quality depth that many teams need in

906
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,760
order to make that move, to make that jump. How

907
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,559
far away is BYU right now? I think the Texas

908
00:46:13,559 --> 00:46:15,599
Tech games are really good indicators of how far away

909
00:46:15,639 --> 00:46:18,639
BAYU is. But I do think if LJ and Bear

910
00:46:18,679 --> 00:46:20,800
are healthy in those two games, it's a much closer game,

911
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,400
but you're still a little bit off offensively.

912
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I honestly am having a hard time computing

913
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:36,119
what Texas Tech was because after watching that Oregon game

914
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,400
and then watching Oregon not be able to show up

915
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:43,239
against Indiana, because it kind of contextualizes how good everyone

916
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:44,639
Indiana game.

917
00:46:44,559 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 3: Was a little bit different, though. Sure.

918
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:52,119
Speaker 4: What the takeaway that I had was Texas Tech's defense

919
00:46:52,519 --> 00:46:54,920
was legit. I think Oregon's defense was legit. I don't

920
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,559
think either one of those offenses were anything to write

921
00:46:57,639 --> 00:47:00,920
home about, and I think part of I think BYU

922
00:47:01,079 --> 00:47:04,880
lost both of those games because the momentum swings were massive,

923
00:47:05,039 --> 00:47:07,320
not because I think BYU was in a different class

924
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,719
from Notre Dame or from Texas Tech. I think what

925
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,360
happened was Texas tech offense had a lot of short

926
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,519
fields to work within that first game, you dominate them,

927
00:47:17,559 --> 00:47:20,679
and I think there was some mental gymnastics then BYU

928
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,360
had to play through in that second game.

929
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 3: I don't and I think, like we've said, I think.

930
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 4: We observed that Bau's defense was good enough to compete,

931
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,599
but when you get hung that many points on you,

932
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,519
it makes you question some things. Given what we saw

933
00:47:36,639 --> 00:47:38,840
from Texas Tech and then subsequently Oregon.

934
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 3: I think what we realized is.

935
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 4: No, the defense was is where it needs to be

936
00:47:43,679 --> 00:47:46,320
off They can only give the offense so many opportunities.

937
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,159
I think, honestly, that's how Miami even got to a

938
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,480
national championship because their defensive line was just full of

939
00:47:52,519 --> 00:47:55,440
freaks and animals and they ate everybody alive. And the

940
00:47:55,559 --> 00:47:58,360
game basically came down to is Carson bec gonna turn

941
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,280
the football over or not. If he doesn't turn the

942
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,400
football over, you win the game. If he does turn

943
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,800
the football over, you lose the game. And so I

944
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,440
think you're in a good spot with your offense because

945
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,840
you're not as turnover prone as a guy like Carson

946
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,960
beck Is. The issue is you've gotta find ways to

947
00:48:14,159 --> 00:48:17,639
poke holes and to really be multi dimensional, because it

948
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,320
did feel like a lot last season. I mean, we

949
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:24,039
heard about it all throughout fall camp, where Aaron Rodd

950
00:48:24,199 --> 00:48:25,960
was like, we're gonna run the ball. We're gonna be

951
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:26,760
really good a running ball.

952
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,679
Speaker 3: We're gonna run the ball. We're gonna run the dang ball,

953
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:29,480
and it was awesome.

954
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,519
Speaker 4: The problem was you didn't necessarily have the horses to

955
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,679
sustain that mentality, so you became a little bit one dimensional.

956
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,960
If they figure out a way to stretch that thing out,

957
00:48:39,559 --> 00:48:41,920
I think it's pretty easy to bet on BYU to

958
00:48:42,039 --> 00:48:44,079
win the Big twelve title at that point and then

959
00:48:44,079 --> 00:48:45,000
see what they do from there.

960
00:48:45,559 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 1: Ronnie, any final thoughts before we wrap up that shake

961
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:48,960
and anything you want to try and in on how

962
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,440
far away is BYU from winning a national championship after

963
00:48:51,519 --> 00:48:53,800
watching what Indiana did the last two seasons.

964
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, you need a guy that you can throw the

965
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,159
ball to for sure on this roster, and that is

966
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,599
look reliable. And I'm gonna be honest there where Chase

967
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,880
Roberts wasn't reliable this season, I have dated to back

968
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:03,199
it up.

969
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,159
Speaker 5: People can get mad about it. I don't care if

970
00:49:05,159 --> 00:49:05,320
you do.

971
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,679
Speaker 6: The guy that's supposed to be the NFL guy was

972
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,760
dropping past us WinCE friand when from Nando Mendoza. You

973
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:13,840
everybody knew who the ball was going to on throw down.

974
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,400
Everybody in their mom knew. Steven Wonder knew it too.

975
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:21,840
And guess what the ball was caught tough NFL like catches, right,

976
00:49:22,039 --> 00:49:24,440
So I think you who is the guy on the

977
00:49:24,519 --> 00:49:26,280
roster that you're like without a shout of doubt on

978
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:27,719
throw down out you can throw the football to him.

979
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,320
Speaker 5: Is it PK is a Kyler?

980
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 3: We don't know?

981
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 5: Is it is it Walker Lyons?

982
00:49:32,199 --> 00:49:33,679
Speaker 6: Who's the guy that is going to be the guy

983
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,639
when you need to convert the first down and get

984
00:49:35,679 --> 00:49:38,559
a big player that can be not just your security blanket,

985
00:49:38,599 --> 00:49:40,559
but be the guy who is that on the roster

986
00:49:40,599 --> 00:49:42,280
And we haven't seen that yet. I know they're guy's

987
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,039
coming in, So to me, that's what you have to

988
00:49:44,039 --> 00:49:46,400
find out. Is that getting wide receiver one we don't know?

989
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,679
And then I think running back depth. Look you if

990
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,679
they can be high on but and I understand why

991
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,719
and I'm with that too, but when guys start to

992
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,679
get hurt, when guys aren't available, that's your best ability.

993
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 5: You need a plet throw of running backs.

994

Speaker 6: And you say you got guys in the room, but

995
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,599
we didn't see him, So I think you still need

996
00:50:02,639 --> 00:50:05,280
to go get another guy because if Sienna goes down

997
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,199
another guys aren't you know, stepping up the way they

998
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,519
need to. So it's Ljbahar and then Devon echo, Okay, cool,

999
00:50:10,639 --> 00:50:13,119
not enough. I just think I still think they're offensive
