00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:12,920
show for you. As always, we're weeping, we're waialing. We

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,760
have a little bit of an ashing teeth. But all

24
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:17,239
things considered, I think there are some silver linings coming

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,159
out of the loss to Texas Tech. It was unfortunate

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,000
the form and fashion which BYU lost that game, but

27
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:25,200
you were on the road, all eyes were on you,

28
00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:28,200
Game day was there, and you went up.

29
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:29,239
Speaker 3: Against the top five team.

30
00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:32,599
Speaker 4: I think, truly, after watching this team and seeing them

31
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,200
pretty much fully healthy, Baron Morton a little bit tinged

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,200
up with that tivial stress reaction. He's not as maybe

33
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:41,120
fleet of foot as he was at the beginning of

34
00:01:41,159 --> 00:01:43,879
the year, but he's been suffering through injuries all season long,

35
00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:48,040
and he was still ripping it, still chucking it downfield

36
00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:51,439
and taking advantage of one on one opportunities. In BYU's

37
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,400
defensive cs were sometimes up to the task and other

38
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:57,480
times they were not. This Texas Tech team is the

39
00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:02,000
real deal. They are extremely good defense. That is maybe

40
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:06,879
the best defense in college football, and the payroll would

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,319
necessitate such efficiency in my opinion. From that defense and

42
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,199
NBO's offense and special teams, didn't look so good.

43
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 3: Excuse me. Special teams in offense didn't look good at all.

44
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 4: And the defense I thought, and actually they actually played

45
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,680
pretty much thing well all things considered.

46
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: So we're gonna grade it all out.

47
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: We're gonna dissect it all and break it all down

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,800
here on your UTAI ESPN Radio network. I do believe

49
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,960
we can find some silver linings in all of this

50
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
is the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the ugly.

51
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,039
Coming off a loss, a twenty two point loss, not

52
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,960
too shabby considering the scoring margin, the win margins versus

53
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,840
versus other teams that Texas Tech has has faced, especially

54
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,199
at home and away setting. So we're gonna break that

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,800
down as well here on your UTI ESPN Radio network.

56
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,280

He is the producer. I don't have it in my

78
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,800
air right now. Just in case it is in my

79
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,520
nar it as ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, let's

80
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,240
welcome in co host, host, executive producer.

81
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: We've got Ronald three man Weaver, Ronnie. How you living

82
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:53,120
living good?

83
00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:53,319
Speaker 5: Ben?

84
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah?

85
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 6: I will officially say at Texas Tech is the best

86
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,360
team in the Big twelve, just like last year Arizona

87
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,639
State was no denying that, not gonna say that BYU

88
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:04,919
right now is second best and unless you win the

89
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,879
conference titles. So look when you allocate the dollars and

90
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:09,719
it shows up. I said this last week. I'll see

91
00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:12,800
it again. Max Olson interviewed the Texas Tech GM. They

92
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:14,919
said they're getting their moneys worth than they really are.

93
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,319
They proved it on Saturday. So Tim Bhatt, that's the

94
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,120
best team right now.

95
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, they are the best team.

96
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,759
Speaker 4: And we're gonna tell you what BA you needs to

97
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:25,959
do going forward as they face off, and it's the

98
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,319
horn Frogs at home Cincinnati in and away Shetting and

99
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,079
then welcome the UCF to have a season finale at

100
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,480
Lavelle Edwards Citia.

101
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:38,639
Speaker 3: Let's also welcome to the show. We got Hammer time,

102
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,720
Brett always bringing the hammer. How that allre you, Brett Hammer.

103
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,680
I think Texas Tech.

104
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 7: Might be the best defense in college football. Yeah, like

105
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:47,879
I think every team in college football.

106
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:48,519
Speaker 3: I don't know.

107
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 7: Offensively, it would depend on what Baron Morton I think

108
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,399
looked like. But there's no question defensively Texas Tech could

109
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:58,759
hang with any offense in the entirety of the country.

110
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:02,040
And so I think when you put it in that context,

111
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,519
you say, okay, BYU didn't. It didn't look like in

112
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,519
FBS team playing an FCS team. It certainly didn't look good.

113
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,480
It didn't look great, but it does give you hope

114
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,079
that if they fix some things, this is a game

115
00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:17,639
in the Big twelve title that is winnable. But again,

116
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,519
there have to be some things fixed. But all in all,

117
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,639
you played against the best defense in the all of

118
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,439
college football, and Tech Tech deserves a lot of credit.

119
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: For what they did on Saturday.

120
00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: Per sp plus, an efficiency metric that I really do

121
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:33,680
lean into. I think Bill Connley does a tremendous job

122
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,519
with his algorithm. I think it's a fair efficiency and

123
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,079
productivity rating and ranking. Texas Tech is number five, but

124
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:44,120
number five in the nation on defense. Number one is

125
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,800
actually the Ohio State, Okay, Number two is Oregon, Number

126
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,199
three is Oklahoma. Indiana is at number four, and then

127
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,079
number five is Texas Tech. Now, overall the complete sp

128
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,439
plus ranking Texas Tech number four. I do think Texas

129
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:01,279
Tech is a top five team college football.

130
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: I just do.

131
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: And what's crazy is their special teams showed up in

132
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,439
this game too significantly fantastically. They were ranked the eightieth

133
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,639
best special teams unit and it was their weak spot

134
00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:19,279
on their team heading into the BYU game. They are

135
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,040
now forty first in special teams efficiency after one game

136
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,560
versus a top ten foe in BYU. So they were

137
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,839
really good BYU. Their special teams unit not so good.

138
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,360
Their offensive productivity and efficiency not so good. We're gonna

139
00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:39,519
delve into it all the news and notes, getting into

140
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:40,720
all the soundbites as well.

141
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:42,639
Speaker 3: Here on your UTAI ESPN Radio network.

142
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 4: We're gonna get a Kaloni Satake post game commentary first

143
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,680
and foremost in the nitty gritty, Stay tuned as we

144
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,399
read between the lines and that nitty gritty Chase Roberts

145
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:54,519
commentary as well as Jack Kelly. Jack Kelly and Jacob

146
00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:58,959
Rodrigez Okay, the two best players on that football field

147
00:06:59,439 --> 00:07:00,800
that was all to watch.

148
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:02,399
Speaker 3: Jack Kelly was a beast.

149
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:07,399
Speaker 4: As Kirk Herbstreet put it, he's single handedly keeping BYU.

150
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:11,000
And I wouldn't say that that's an accurate depiction. The defense,

151
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,040
I think as a whole was good, but Jack Kelly

152
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,639
was fantastic. When that man is healthy, and I think

153
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,720
Jay Hill, in his pregame interview said Jack Kelly's as

154
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:25,480
healthy as he's been pretty much all season long. That

155
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,360
bye week was a boon for BYU and Jack Kelly,

156
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,959
but he was balling. Now Rodriguez, I mean, he's in't

157
00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:35,480
maybe in a league of his own. If you had

158
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,959
a choice, you know, do you want Jack Kelly or

159
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,639
do you want Rodriguez? There are two different types of players.

160
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,639
I think rodrig is probably a little bit better in coverage,

161
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,160
but even the juggernaut Jack Kelly was looking pretty good

162
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:53,120
in coverage down the sideline, galloping in essentially a trail

163
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:56,959
man technique press man technique. He looked fantastic out of

164
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,319
PBu by the way, on a fade route versus a

165
00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:00,800
very good running back at Texas Tech.

166
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,399
Speaker 7: I think that BYU's greatest strength is also their greatest weakness.

167
00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:08,800
Here's what I mean, Isaiah Glasker and Jack Kelly when

168
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:12,319
they rush the passer man, did you see I don't

169
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,759
know if it was Cameron Dickey, but there were a

170
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,600
couple plays there where the running back tried to step

171
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,439
up and chip block the linebacker coming through, and Jack

172
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:22,040
Kelly and Isaiah Glasker put the guy on the floor

173
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:25,800
every single time. And it's a bummer because they're so

174
00:08:25,959 --> 00:08:28,480
good in pass coverage and they're so good from the

175
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:32,840
linebackers stopping the run that you have to really grapple with, well,

176
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,759
do we send him every time or we put them

177
00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:37,759
back in coverage And unfortunately, especially with the Chay Bryant

178
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:40,240
Strather injury, I think if he was healthy, you would

179
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,960
be able to send them a lot more, if you'd

180
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,200
feel a lot more comfortable with that linebacker depth. And

181
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,679
I think, frankly, I think they're better in pass rush

182
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,879
just because I think the pass rush is good but

183
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:53,159
it's not great. They make it great and I think

184
00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:55,759
when your pass rush is great, your defense is better. Overall,

185
00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:58,559
I still think the defense played incredible on Saturday. I

186
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,159
think if by you could send them more often that

187
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,600
would be more beneficial.

188
00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 3: But either way, defense played great as.

189
00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 7: A whole, and man, Jack Kelly and Isaiah Glaska are

190
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:08,320
scary when they're getting after.

191
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 4: The quarterback, no doubt about it. It was impressive to watch.

192
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:14,720
And the one defensive play that I just want to

193
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,840
have back is that second and twenty when we dropped

194
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,039
eight and just didn't make a play at that second level.

195
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:21,960
If I was to take one play back, ah man,

196
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,639
I want that play back and maybe put some pressure

197
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:27,559
on Baron Morton in that situation, But hindsight's twenty twenty.

198
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 3: It always is.

199
00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: Good to look back and evaluate and critique, etc. We'll

200
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,759
do that today here on your Utah ESPN Radio network.

201
00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:40,240
So we also have Kevin Young postgame commentary as BYU

202
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,720
basketball completely annihilated Holy Cross. He was great to see

203
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,960
this team come together. The bad news though, Nate Pickens

204
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,600
out for the season. We found out over the weekend,

205
00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:51,960
and he was supposed to be a key cog. How

206
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,440
does that impact the rotation? Who's willing and ready to

207
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,360
step up? Who will fill the shoes of a tenured

208
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:00,200
vet in college basketball that was supposed to be a

209
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,279
a big piece of this b YU men's basketball team

210
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,440
as they try to break the curse of being the

211
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,320
team that has gone to the NCAA Tournament more than

212
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:14,080
any other team without a Final Four appearance.

213
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 3: We'll get into that.

214
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,519
Speaker 4: Tim Brown will join us Tanner Wall commentary, Brady Papina

215
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:20,799
and John Beck on the back end a star setting cast.

216
00:10:21,039 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: Let's get into it then.

o one four hundred zero eight eight five. All right,

240
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,559
Kialani said, take BYU head coach. This was his opening

241
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,240
statement after the Texas Tech loss.

242
00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:45,279
Speaker 9: Okay, well, start disappointed about the loss, but uh, you

243
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,720
know there's a congratulations aid Texas Tech coach Maguire had

244
00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:53,120
his guys ready to play, and you.

245
00:11:53,039 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: Know they did did a good job holding us off.

246
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 9: And trying to when we're trying to make a run

247
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,120
and trying to get the momentum switch. We weren't able

248
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,840
to do that. But I'm proudly guys. The guys played hard.

249
00:12:02,039 --> 00:12:04,879
We just didn't do enough against a really good team.

250
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,080
I mean, there's a really good team at home, and

251
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,519
they found a way to play better than we did.

252
00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:12,080
But this is gonna be a great experience for us

253
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,600
to learn from and we look forward to getting better

254
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:16,799
from now until next week when we end up at

255
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:18,919
home and against TCU.

256
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,279
Speaker 1: But we had to give them a lot of credit.

257
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 9: I thought TCU did a good job and possessed the ball,

258
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,200
you know, and made some big plays, especially the looking

259
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,360
at the big plays that happened on defensive defensively, we're

260
00:12:31,399 --> 00:12:32,320
doing pretty good jobs.

261
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: The big players. We gave up, you know, a couple.

262
00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 9: Of passes and the run and a muff punt costs

263
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:40,759
cost us I think thirteen points, you know. And so

264
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,000
even with that thought we were able. So we're going

265
00:12:44,039 --> 00:12:46,080
to respond and come back and make it a game

266
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,000
in the second half, and we weren't able to do

267
00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:51,120
that because of what Texas Tech was able to do.

268
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,759
I mean, they have a really good team and they're

269
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:55,320
one of the best teams in the country, and this

270
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:57,679
was a good experience for us. Let's go through and

271
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,360
we'll learn from this and we'll be a better team

272
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,559
from it and make sure that we get better next

273
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,879
week and perform better. But is my job as a

274
00:13:03,879 --> 00:13:05,600
head coach and make sure that we're playing at our best.

275
00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:07,440
I don't want to say that we didn't play at

276
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,519
our best. I just say that Texas Tech make things difficult.

277
00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:12,879
Really good, good team, well coached and a lot of

278
00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:15,720
great players. But we will be back and we'll find

279
00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:18,080
a way to improve and find a way to play

280
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:18,799
better next week.

281
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 4: Gonna look to the positive here, Klonie, always keeping it positive.

282
00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:28,639
Disappointed obviously in the effort in the execution from probably's

283
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,360
offense and special teams unit.

284
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:32,519
Speaker 3: But try to keep positive.

285
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 4: We'll be back, right, And that's been kind of like

286
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,919
the rheter coming from Chase Roberts and Tanner Wall and

287
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,240
Kialan's like we will be back, and even the Texas

288
00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:47,000
Tech football players. Apparently we're saying that to BYU football players. Hey,

289
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,840
we'll see in the next couple of weeks. You wonder

290
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,080
is BYU truly are you cougarnation. Do you believe that

291
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,919
BYU is the second best team in the Big twelve?

292
00:13:58,159 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: Right?

293
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,879
Speaker 4: That to me is the biggest question, Like if I'm

294
00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:04,519
gonna ask the Cougar fans any one thing, do you

295
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:07,279
believe after what you saw versus text, what you've been

296
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:10,679
seeing within the Big twelve that BYU is the second

297
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,480
best team in the Big twelve.

298
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put that out there as a poll of

299
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:14,559
the day.

300
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,919
Speaker 4: Get your thoughts, because they do think there are some

301
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,840
BO fans that don't believe they are the second best

302
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,919
team now, Like I think they're having a little bit

303
00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:24,039
of an Needer regression going into the Texas to that game.

304
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,600
I think they believe, like we are the second best team.

305
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:28,559
Speaker 3: In the Big twelve.

306
00:14:29,879 --> 00:14:33,559
Speaker 4: We will leave that we beat Utah, right, We've won

307
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,240
all of our close games. We won on the road

308
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,279
versus Iowa State, Like, we find ways to win. We're

309
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,200
a complimentary football team. And because of that complimentary style football,

310
00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:48,919
great leadership, great grit, and and and our execution within

311
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,759
our schemes, we find a way to win, and we

312
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,559
are the second best team. I don't know if everyone

313
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,759
believes that now in Cougar Country, after that loss. Let's

314
00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:00,840
get back to killane. What do you attribute the struggles

315
00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:01,799
in the run game too.

316
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,039
Speaker 9: Yeah, they were one of the best defenses in the

317
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,720
country and and we knew would be tough sledding, but

318
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,799
they got us behind the chains a little bit, and

319
00:15:10,919 --> 00:15:12,799
you know, weren't able to take advantage. I mean, they're

320
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,639
really good at that, taking advantage of third third downs,

321
00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:17,720
and we weren't able to do it. And then on the

322
00:15:17,759 --> 00:15:21,039
other side, we gave up to many big plays on

323
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,360
third down. And you know, the first half was back

324
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,519
and forth a little bit, but we gave up thirteen points,

325
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:28,799
had a good stop at the end of the half there,

326
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,720
and thought we were able to get some momentum, even

327
00:15:30,759 --> 00:15:33,600
started by forcing a punt in the second half, and

328
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,480
just weren't able to get get the momentum swing in

329
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,480
our way. Weren't able to get get any things going

330
00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:41,159
on offense, and then that was a struggle, and then

331
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,399
special teams wasn't really an advantage for us.

332
00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:46,679
Speaker 1: I thought they thought they executed.

333
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,679
Speaker 9: Their plan, did a great job and uh and did

334
00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:50,720
a great job getting the victory.

335
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: You know, congratulations to them. I thought their fans were awesome.

336
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 9: We're good advantage and and made a lot of noise

337
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:58,440
and made things difficult. But uh, it's all the stuff

338
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,360
that we expected. You know, it just didn't work out

339
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:02,919
our favor. My job as head coaches find out how

340
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,000
we can get better from this and make sure that

341
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,919
I get the team ready next time. But you know, obviously,

342
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,559
though the players work hard, I just gotta get them

343
00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:12,879
ready and make sure that we've reperformed next time.

344
00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 4: Gotta find a way to continue to win, to stay

345
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,919
on track. Keep first things in, the best things first,

346
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,919
keep the main thing, the main thing. You can't win,

347
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,360
My buddy, my buddy Keith was just said, you can't

348
00:16:28,399 --> 00:16:32,039
win against one of the best teams in college football

349
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,240
by turning the ball over three times.

350
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,919
Speaker 3: What I said, like, no, you're not gonna win.

351
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,399
Speaker 4: You should have had a couple of takeaways yourself, though,

352
00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:43,600
Like how many missed opportunities did b Yu's defense have

353
00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:45,240
or the special teams unit.

354
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: Have for that matter, You had a few. You probably

355
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:48,919
could have got two back.

356
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,639
Speaker 4: You should have got at least two back, and you

357
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:54,159
probably shouldn't have given up the punt return. So even

358
00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:57,240
if you would have been at equivalency and the turnof

359
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,240
our margin was zero.

360
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 3: Do you win this game though, like if the.

361
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 4: Turno march is at zero, Like, I don't know if

362
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,440
you win this game even with the turnable margin being

363
00:17:05,519 --> 00:17:08,440
zero and your your side your your side to side

364
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,240
equivalent in takeaways and turnovers, Like I don't know if

365
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,519
if a short field would have led to touchdowns for

366
00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:19,880
this by offense, they really could not move the ball

367
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,799
until they went tempo spread and they got a touchdown

368
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:26,880
with what seven minutes were mating in the fourth quarter,

369
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,559
they went tempo spread, and they they started throwing it

370
00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:30,319
a little bit more?

371
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: Why don't you think they did that early?

372
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 7: Like, I'm sure there's a nuance in this, but all

373
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,880
the fans were like, why didn't they just do that

374
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:36,440
the whole game?

375
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 3: And I had that question as well.

376
00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 7: And and I think for fans it's easy to say, well,

377
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,200
if they just score on that, and if they would

378
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,000
have done that the whole game, they would have just

379
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:44,720
won the game.

380
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,559
Speaker 3: And I don't think it's that simple. I think there's

381
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:47,319
more nuanced to that.

382
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,279
Speaker 7: So why don't you think they did that more throughout

383
00:17:50,279 --> 00:17:50,599
the game.

384
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 3: You have an identity.

385
00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 4: Through practice and through personnel acquisition that you've built from

386
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,559
last year the year before, into the off seat, into

387
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:03,240
the season like this team and Kirk kirkstreet Stead he

388
00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:05,480
is like, what does by you want to do offensively?

389
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:09,480
They want to go slow, mundane, monotonous, and possess the ball.

390
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,279
They want to be able to run the ball and

391
00:18:11,319 --> 00:18:14,720
go play action. You've brought up the PFF stats BYU

392
00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:18,559
threw eight weeks right. Nine weeks was one of the

393
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:22,200
best play action football teams in college football.

394
00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:25,839
Speaker 3: But they're not great in the dropback passing game. They're not.

395
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 4: They haven't Doctor Jekyl and mister Hyde, so they haven't

396
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:29,599
been right.

397
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 3: And so it's like, that's been your identity.

398
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 4: Now you went up against one of the best teams

399
00:18:34,519 --> 00:18:37,039
in college football top five and and maybe the best

400
00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:41,039
defense in college football, and so yeah, you may have

401
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,559
wanted to try something different prior to the fourth quarter.

402
00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 3: So I'm okay with that criticism.

403
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,039
Speaker 4: I'm okay with with you saying, hey, we probably should

404
00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:52,200
have tried that maybe a little bit sooner in the

405
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,359
second half. They didn't, and that's maybe on a rod.

406
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,920
But at the same time, that's been your identity. And

407
00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:02,279
up to that point, going into this game, b YU

408
00:19:02,319 --> 00:19:05,599
was top twenty five in offensive efficiency per sp plus

409
00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:10,000
so like like that that that that's why right, Like

410
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,359
like I said, I would have liked a more expeditious,

411
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,119
you know, implementation of trying tempo spread and and maybe

412
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,319
throwing the ball a little bit more. Uh, but it

413
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,359
didn't happen, and maybe lesson learned and now they can

414
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,839
go into this this next week. Hopefully you beat TC,

415
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,559
Hopefully you beat Cincinnati. Hopefully you beat UCF and you

416
00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:35,519
can face Texas Tech again in the Big twelve championship game.

417
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,359
Hopefully you get that opportunity. But if you look too

418
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,400
far ahead, you may you may f around and find out.

419
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,559
You may mess around and find out. So keep keep

420
00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:46,319
the task at hand in front of you, no doubt

421
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,079
about it. Ronald, did you want to chime in? I

422
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,279
don't know if you whispered in my ear?

423
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think ben. I went back and I did

424
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,400
the math because you know, I like the numbers. Even

425
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,839
if buyu Been doesn't give up those points. Let's say,

426
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,519
you know, because it was ten that was allocate with

427
00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:01,519
all of the mess ups and what they could have allocated,

428
00:20:01,559 --> 00:20:04,200
so you keep them ten less points, so it's nineteen.

429
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:04,559
Speaker 8: Right.

430
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:06,599
Speaker 6: Let's say you get two field goals out of that,

431
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,880
you're still losing that game by three points. If you

432
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,720
get field goals on the Trey Alexander interception and Evan

433
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:15,200
Johnson and let's say you get the touchdown that's thirteen

434
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,240
to not like, you're still losing thirteen to nineteen. You're

435
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,039
still losing a one score game. So they don't do

436
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,319
it still, And that just speaks to how good this

437
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,359
Texas Tech defense is. It is the best in college football.

438
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,799
I think they can have at it with Georgia and Alabama.

439
00:20:26,839 --> 00:20:29,599
That says a lot. I'll say, maybe not them, but

440
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,880
like they're up there, no doubt about it.

441
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 8: Ben So they wouldn't have got close.

442
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:35,559
Speaker 6: Even going back and doing the math bo, you would

443
00:20:35,599 --> 00:20:38,119
have had to score two touchdowns out two turnovers. And

444
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,200
with the way the game went and with LGMRT being dinged,

445
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,279
it just it was a it was a tall order already.

446
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,279
Then you add the circumstances that happened. That was the

447
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:49,880
best case scenario that bay you lost that game by

448
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:50,880
But shout out to the defense.

449
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 8: They kept a minute for as long as they could been.

450
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: Let's get back to the sound Kaladia Shataca. Only ten

451
00:20:56,799 --> 00:20:59,720
carries were giving to LJ. Martin, was he not healthy

452
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:01,920
enough to get more well?

453
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,519
Speaker 9: I think I mean at the beginning where we were

454
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:04,720
trying to get some some.

455
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: You know, I think he can take.

456
00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:09,079
Speaker 9: And carry the ball more, but we're trying to work

457
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,519
him into it. We knew that that he wouldn't be

458
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:13,799
able to be full strength, but we needed him in

459
00:21:13,839 --> 00:21:16,799
some fashion and we were to get some some yardage

460
00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:19,319
at the beginning. We just got to keep plugging away.

461
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,319
You have to give them credit. They're committed to stopping

462
00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:24,279
the run. And then in the past game, we weren't

463
00:21:24,279 --> 00:21:26,839
able to make things happening enough. And you know, the

464
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,400
turnovers were at issue, and we had a muff punt

465
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,880
and the interception and the fumble of is a lateral play,

466
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,839
so that that doesn't help you either. And just really

467
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:40,319
couldn't get things generated good, getting any momentum, any positive

468
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,400
things going on the offensive side. But we just keep working.

469
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,400
I neither give credit to Texas Tech and what they

470
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,960
were able to do. I can't sit there and say like, oh,

471
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,119
we didn't do this to do that. So that's a

472
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,400
really good team and tough team. All we have to

473
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,359
do is learn from it. Is a is a tough experience,

474
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,200
but it would be a great learning experience for all

475
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:56,559
of us.

476
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,839
Speaker 3: So LJ had his shoulder injury, right, we know that.

477
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 4: I think one of the first plays that he ended

478
00:22:05,559 --> 00:22:08,480
up toting, he actually got hit, you know, on that shoulder.

479
00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:11,160
It could have disrupted something, you know, And if he

480
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,000
goes back to the sideline, he's like, you know, cringing

481
00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:14,559
a little bit.

482
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:15,279
Speaker 1: Uh.

483
00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:18,759
Speaker 4: That can maybe limit the amount of reps they're gonna

484
00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:22,000
give him because right off the bat, you've already aggravated

485
00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:26,200
that shoulder that has been braced and and maybe rehabbed.

486
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 3: Over a two week period. So I think that has

487
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:28,960
something to do with it.

488
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 4: Lj's not gonna run as aggressively being injured in his

489
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:40,359
upper body, just won't. I think we've seen that in

490
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,640
games prior last year. I remember he was a little

491
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,680
bit deemed up with his ankle and it really didn't

492
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:50,559
get back running as aggressively till very much later on

493
00:22:50,599 --> 00:22:54,799
in the season. So I asked g Man one time,

494
00:22:54,799 --> 00:22:56,400
I was like, is he a finesse runner or is

495
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,400
he more of like a physical bruiser, And he said

496
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,880
he's a physical bruiser. I think it's like, I don't

497
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,400
think he's a finesse runner, but I don't think he's

498
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:09,960
like a physically like like violent runner. I don't think

499
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,920
he's a violent runner, I guess, is what I'm saying.

500
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,200
And so he's kind of a tweener for me. He's

501
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:19,039
a big body that runs with probably finessing Break's arm tackles, right,

502
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,480
but he's not a run through your face guy. He's

503
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,599
not that Marshawn Lynch just like run through your face guy.

504
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,480
Even if he's got like a bruised shoulder, a separated shoulder.

505
00:23:28,079 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 3: Like that, He's just not gonna be that guy.

506
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,039
Speaker 4: And so they're gonna be judicious about how they utilize

507
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,200
him and where they utilize him. And I think that's

508
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,720
one of the reason why they only give him ten toats.

509
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,480
And they were trying to get Bear involved. Bear was

510
00:23:38,519 --> 00:23:42,119
not effective. It was one of his worst rushing performances

511
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,000
of the year. You have to go back to Stanford

512
00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:47,839
and in that game, I can't remember what the game

513
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,960
plan was, but there wasn't a whole lot of maybe

514
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:52,559
Bear Bachmeyer QB.

515
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: Designed run in that game. Anyway, they struggled.

516
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,759
Speaker 4: They struggled, and you got to give kudos to one

517
00:23:58,799 --> 00:24:00,920
of the best defensive fronts in football as well.

518
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 7: I think the hard part for me is I don't

519
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,480
think LJ being hurt was the reason you lost the game. Like,

520
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,720
even if Lj's healthy, I think the outcomes still plays

521
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,920
out very similarly because Texas Tech was basically daring BYU.

522
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: They were saying, Hey, we're.

523
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,799
Speaker 7: Gonna load the box and we're gonna send guys up

524
00:24:20,799 --> 00:24:23,240
through your line. You go ahead and try to throw

525
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,440
the ball on us, and they really couldn't. And so

526
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,119
I don't even know if LJ is healthy if YU

527
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,319
wins that game. And then again, more credit to the

528
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,799
Texas Tech linebackers. Usually Bear is big enough that he

529
00:24:34,839 --> 00:24:37,599
can run through your team's linebackers, and we've seen that

530
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,880
all season, Like when he takes these draws, he's able

531
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,279
to carry some backers with him. That did not go

532
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,039
that way against Texas seth Jacob Rodriguez.

533
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,839
Speaker 3: They seemed like they took.

534
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,519
Speaker 4: A lot of third level defenders early on, were coming

535
00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:56,000
hard right, and they like Bear is able to hit

536
00:24:56,039 --> 00:24:58,759
a guy and get a couple of yards extra. Bear

537
00:24:58,799 --> 00:25:01,880
would hit their guys and bounce backwards, and so it

538
00:25:02,079 --> 00:25:04,519
just they took a lot of pride in making sure

539
00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:07,599
that bear gave up no yards on the ground. Yeah,

540
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:10,000
how concerned are you getting back to number four, Kialdi,

541
00:25:10,079 --> 00:25:11,720
how concerned are you with the slow starts?

542
00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:14,559
Speaker 3: Right now? Offensively the slow starts become No, this is

543
00:25:14,599 --> 00:25:15,160
a big twelve.

544
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: They're really good teams and the Big twelve. You know,

545
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,559
I don't know a lot of teams.

546
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,279
Speaker 9: That are out there playing full strength and being fast,

547
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:24,119
starting fast and finished strong for sixty minutes. We might

548
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,839
have played one of those teams that did that, you know.

549
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,000
So it's we gotta keep working. I mean, it's not

550
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:31,119
like we can just We're going to gets really good teams, guys,

551
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:31,960
and this is a this is a.

552
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: Difficult place to play.

553
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,759
Speaker 9: And you know, it was a really cool experience being

554
00:25:35,799 --> 00:25:38,160
in Luwock and being being in front of the fans,

555
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,680
and so you know, it's a really good home advantage

556
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,680
for them. But what we didn't do enough of the

557
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,079
little things to put ourselves in a position to have

558
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:46,839
to have a victory.

559
00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 3: Really good teams, yeah, no doubt, really good teams. You

560
00:25:50,279 --> 00:25:51,759
got to do everything right on the road.

561
00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 4: Versus the top ten, top five opponent, Kalate number five,

562
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,319
what do you think of the play calling on Saturday.

563
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 3: Anything you wish you would have done differently.

564
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I always want to score points, So that's gonna

565
00:26:03,519 --> 00:26:05,200
be the goal. I mean, yeah, there's a lot of

566
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,240
things that we're whether we win or lose, we're always

567
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,880
going to try to find ways to learn and get better,

568
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,920
and so this is the approach. Will stay of the

569
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,680
same to try to get better. But I only know

570
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,440
one way and that's going to work, you know. So

571
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,720
our guys are committed to work and hard. We'll get

572
00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:20,480
back at it. And congratulations of Texas Tech, but we

573
00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:23,200
got to get back to work and find ways to improve.

574
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:26,599
Speaker 3: How would you assess number six?

575
00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 4: How would you assess Bear Bachmeyer's play versus Tech on

576
00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:30,640
the road?

577
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's going against one of the best defenses in

578
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,519
the country, and I think they made things difficult for him.

579
00:26:35,559 --> 00:26:38,839
But you know, we can't just blame it on one guy.

580
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,480
He's got to see what the other ten guys are

581
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,559
doing on the field. And then didn't really give much

582
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:45,400
compliment on special teams and defense to helping him with

583
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,680
short fields and things like that, and so there's a

584
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:48,440
lot of things that go.

585
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,039
Speaker 1: Into play here.

586
00:26:49,079 --> 00:26:52,599
Speaker 9: But I appreciate Bear's attitude and it's willing to to learn.

587
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,200
We've talked about how he wants to get better, and

588
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,759
so this is a great moment for him to get

589
00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:58,480
better between now and and next week. And we're still

590
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,359
in a position where we because we work hard and

591
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,480
had some success earlier in the year, that we can I mean,

592
00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:05,079
that's not our best ball. I don't think it's our

593
00:27:05,079 --> 00:27:07,359
best ball, and we can play better than that. So

594
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:09,359
I need to make sure I get these guys ready

595
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,039
for the next time.

596
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,279
Speaker 4: So Bear Bogmeyer twenty three to thirty eight and eight yards,

597
00:27:14,279 --> 00:27:17,440
one touchdown, one eye in t sixty one percent completion

598
00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:21,039
percentage one on five point five QB rating. He also

599
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:24,359
had a lateral that ended up, I guess being a

600
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,240
fumble and recovery by Texas Tech.

601
00:27:27,559 --> 00:27:30,039
Speaker 3: But his left guard decided not to block.

602
00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 4: Anybody either on that play, so that that one hurt

603
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,200
shot through the heart as g Man likes to say,

604
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,640
and his left guard was too late. But yeah, look,

605
00:27:40,039 --> 00:27:45,960
Bear was was fine. He wasn't dominant by any means.

606
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,559
Eleven attempts, twelve yards. He's probably got to get linear.

607
00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:53,759
If you're gonna have any sort of critique barrier your

608
00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:57,880
two hundred and thirty five pounds, and there was There

609
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,640
was a couple of things here. Playing on turf is

610
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,240
different than playing on natural grass. Especially we're playing against

611
00:28:03,319 --> 00:28:05,720
very good athletes that are familiar with their turf surface.

612
00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:10,079
The team speed of Texas Tech was completely and utterly

613
00:28:10,279 --> 00:28:14,079
on display. Every time bear tucked and ran, he would

614
00:28:14,079 --> 00:28:15,920
get hit at the line of scrimmage or right beyond

615
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,119
the line of scrimmage, and sometimes in front of the

616
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:18,920
line of scrimmage.

617
00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:20,599
Speaker 3: So they were.

618
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 4: Reading and reacting. And this is not just second level defenders.

619
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,759
This is not just linebackers that I'm talking about, Like

620
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,960
third level defenders were coming down and hitting, engaging, styming

621
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,839
bear Bachmeyer at the line of scrimmage and just beyond

622
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,960
the line of scrimmage. So and part of that had

623
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,559
to do with their team speed, and part of it

624
00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:46,119
had to do with bear Bachmeyer's weaving. And you gotta

625
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,960
love the weave. You gotta love the patients. It has

626
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:52,920
helped and aided by you at times. But at other times,

627
00:28:53,559 --> 00:28:55,599
like when you're on your home field, you got the

628
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,160
competitive advantage, you know the playing surface, you got your

629
00:28:59,319 --> 00:29:02,759
the right on your opponent does not Utah, go back

630
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:03,680
and watch the Utah game.

631
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 3: Utah was slipping and sliding all over the football field. Okay,

632
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:07,119
they just.

633
00:29:07,119 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 4: Were and and and in this game, Dexas deck was

634
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,359
not slipping the slide nowhere. Like they were surefooted, and

635
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,119
they were freaking athletic. They were fast, they were physical,

636
00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:22,960
and they were assignment sound and gap sound. They were great.

637
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,440
And so Bear probably just needs to choose to get

638
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,440
linear and try to not take on any head on

639
00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:31,480
collisions because you can get injured that way.

640
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 3: But but that's what I would advise.

641
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 4: You got to know your your your team that you're

642
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,519
going against and in the playing surface and just how

643
00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:42,920
athletic they are, and then adapt to that that that position.

644
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,720
But I wouldn't have like if Bear's able to run

645
00:29:45,759 --> 00:29:47,960
the ball a little bit more effectively because that win

646
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:48,960
b way at the game.

647
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,559
Speaker 3: No, but it puts us in a little bit better position.

648
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 4: Like there's a lot of things to critique here, a

649
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,160
lot of things to dissect. That's this is one of many.

650
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,480
This is maybe a minor to moderate adjustment on the

651
00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:06,319
road on turf versus a top of five defense. But

652
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,880
it's not like I'm being hypercritical or I'm not trying

653
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,119
to be hypercritical Does that make sense?

654
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, one hundred percent. And we talked about a lot

655
00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:14,279
coming into the season. You can't expect Bear to win

656
00:30:14,319 --> 00:30:16,039
you games. And there were a lot of games this

657
00:30:16,079 --> 00:30:19,480
season where Bear did win you those games on his back.

658
00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:22,920
This was absolutely not one that you could ask Bear

659
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,440
Bachmeyer to go out and win you If he did, awesome,

660
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,240
but you could not rely on him to win this game.

661
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,759
I think he gets a couple of excuses to say, hey.

662
00:30:31,519 --> 00:30:32,799
Speaker 3: You know what, he's a true freshman.

663
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 7: He hasn't played against a top ten team on the

664
00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:39,119
road in college football in his true freshman year.

665
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:40,519
Speaker 3: That was this game.

666
00:30:40,599 --> 00:30:42,759
Speaker 7: And he's gonna learn from those things, and I imagine

667
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:44,680
when he gets a scenario like this again.

668
00:30:44,599 --> 00:30:45,400

the day. We still have high hopes despite losing to

714
00:33:07,359 --> 00:33:08,839
Texas Tech by twenty two points.

715
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 7: In the words of the Great Mike Tyson, everyone's got

716
00:33:11,519 --> 00:33:13,559
a plan until they get punched in the face. And

717
00:33:13,599 --> 00:33:17,160
on Saturday BYU got punched in the mouth on the

718
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,400
road at Texas Tech.

719
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,279
Speaker 3: And I think there are a lot of fans who.

720
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,319
Speaker 7: Freaked out a little bit because you know you're finally

721
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,920
experiencing loss this season.

722
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,839
Speaker 3: It's not something that BOYU.

723
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,119
Speaker 7: Has really experienced a lot recently, especially of this magnitude.

724
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,599
You have to go back to that Iowa State game

725
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,680
to find a loss on the scale of this. But

726
00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:38,680
you know what, just because you lost like that does

727
00:33:38,759 --> 00:33:42,039
not mean the seasons over BYU is favored in their

728
00:33:42,079 --> 00:33:44,119
games the rest of the way. If they win the

729
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,119
rest of the way, they get to the Big Twelve

730
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,400
title and then they get to play the final boss

731
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,559
again in Texas Tech in that Big Twelve championship and

732
00:33:51,599 --> 00:33:53,119
then determine the rest of their destiny.

733
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 3: So all is not lost.

734
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,039
Speaker 7: We still have high hopes for a very good BYU

735
00:33:57,079 --> 00:33:57,720
football team.

736
00:33:57,759 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 4: Texas Tech is six and one, five than won Cincinnati

737
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,759
five and one, Houston five and two, Utah four and

738
00:34:03,839 --> 00:34:09,159
two in Arizona State four and two in Big Twelve play.

739
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,000
So on the docket for Cincinnati they have U.

740
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: Of A at.

741
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,199
Speaker 4: Home, They have BYU at home, and then they head

742
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:20,480
out to TCU on November twenty ninth, so could be

743
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:26,000
a loss or two on that schedule. Utah faces Baylor.

744
00:34:26,039 --> 00:34:28,599
They're at Baylor on November fifteenth. They have a bye

745
00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:32,000
week this week, I believe, and then they take on

746
00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:35,159
Kansas State at home, and then they're at Kansas to

747
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:40,360
finish the season. Houston they face off against. They actually

748
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:45,800
had a bye week this week, and then TCU.

749
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 3: At home and then at Baylor.

750
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,599
Speaker 4: They got two games remaining as well, and we know

751
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,480
BYU has TCU at home, then Cincinnati on the road,

752
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:54,960
and then UCF at home.

753
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 7: You know what's interesting, you know who else UCF plays

754
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,920
the rest of their schedule. They played Tech Tech and UCF.

755
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,440
I know four and five doesn't scream incredible to everyone,

756
00:35:05,679 --> 00:35:08,039
but they actually do have a sneaky good defense.

757
00:35:08,159 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 3: They don't give up a lot of points.

758
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,599
Speaker 7: Now they don't score a lot of points either, but

759
00:35:11,639 --> 00:35:13,280
they don't give up a whole lot.

760
00:35:13,519 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 3: I don't.

761
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,519
Speaker 7: I'm not saying by any means that UCF is going

762
00:35:16,559 --> 00:35:19,760
to go into Lubbock and beat Texas Tech. I'm just

763
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,599
saying there was no world in which I thought ASU

764
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:23,920
was gonna beat Texas Tech.

765
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 3: UCF maybe is a trap game.

766
00:35:26,039 --> 00:35:29,039
Speaker 7: Maybe Texas SEP's coming off their high hopes from what

767
00:35:29,079 --> 00:35:31,960
they did to BYU and Lubbock. Maybe UCF gives them

768
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,840
a run for their money. But both TCU and UCF

769
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,320
have the chance to ruin somebody's season going down the

770
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:37,920
rest of the way.

771
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 4: My question of the day, Kugarnation, is what silver linings

772
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:47,039
are there in this Texas Tech game? I think there's

773
00:35:47,079 --> 00:35:49,760
a few. You know, we'll get back to Kalanie Schatake

774
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:54,719
down here momentarily. But for me, as I view Texas Tech,

775
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,719
they're they're They're a really good football team, a top

776
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,000
five football team. They got one lost versus a Issue

777
00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:03,159
on the road by four points, and it came down

778
00:36:03,199 --> 00:36:07,159
to Will Hammond ultimately trying to win the game for

779
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,639
Texas Tech the backup quarterback that has now injured and

780
00:36:09,639 --> 00:36:12,320
out for the season, a true freshman quarterback, by the way.

781
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 3: So that's what happened.

782
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 4: Okay, every other game this year they have won Texas

783
00:36:21,519 --> 00:36:25,360
Tech by thirty three points on average, and their smallest

784
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,960
win margin was actually against.

785
00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: BYU on their home field.

786
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,559
Speaker 4: So they were in Lubbick, Okay, in front of their

787
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:39,079
sixty thousand fans, and they beat BYU, yes, convincingly by

788
00:36:39,119 --> 00:36:40,039
twenty two points.

789
00:36:40,119 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 3: But Boy's defense kept BYU in this game.

790
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,599
Speaker 4: They really did like anything coulda happen, right, they could

791
00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:49,000
have you know at least made it respectable.

792
00:36:49,119 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 3: Respectable.

793
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 4: So Texas Tech played on the road versus Utah, a

794
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,400
pretty guys staying good football team that the analytics like,

795
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,960
and beat them like a drum by twenty four points.

796
00:37:02,559 --> 00:37:07,840
They beat Kansas State at Kansas State Okay, by twenty three.

797
00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:13,119
They beat Houston at Houston by twenty four. Then they

798
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:15,480
beat Kansas at home by twenty five. Oregon stayed at

799
00:37:15,519 --> 00:37:18,000
home by thirty one, Oklahoma State at home by forty two.

800
00:37:18,519 --> 00:37:20,320
So like when you look at those, I was like, okay, Like,

801
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,360
well BYU didn't get beat as bad as everybody else.

802
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,159
Speaker 7: Texas Tech actually had a six game streak of scoring

803
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,599
forty points at home.

804
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 4: And they've held them to their largest or their their

805
00:37:32,639 --> 00:37:36,880
lowest point total twenty nine points. So that was the

806
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,800
tightest margin win of all the games and their lowest

807
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:45,239
point total offensively at twenty nine and BA, you coughed

808
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,239
the ball up three times, so you were minus three

809
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,719
internal mark Like to me, like, as I'm looking at them, like, okay,

810
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,119
it could have been much much worse and it wasn't.

811
00:37:56,599 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 3: It definitely could have been and it probably should have.

812
00:38:01,119 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 7: But this loss was just so uncharacteristic of BYU, like

813
00:38:06,039 --> 00:38:10,039
Bear didn't really get going, Parker kinks special teams really

814
00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:12,960
dropped the ball. The special teams, which we have campaigned

815
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,599
for on this show as maybe one of the sneaky

816
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,039
best weapons on this BYU football team, has been the

817
00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:22,480
special teams unit, and they didn't show up. As Kalani

818
00:38:22,559 --> 00:38:26,119
said earlier, this was an uncharacteristic loss for BYU. But

819
00:38:26,159 --> 00:38:27,920
to your point, it could have been a lot worse.

820
00:38:28,119 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it could have been a whole lot worse. It

821
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,519
really could have been. Ronald, you had a few silver linings.

822
00:38:33,519 --> 00:38:35,760
What other silver linings did you take away from this game?

823
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

824
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 6: I think the few silver linings you know that we

825
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,440
had discussed before our show was I think really Jack

826
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,320
Keilly and Isaiah Glasker, there's no doubt been they're getting drafted.

827
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,199
If you thought they weren't, if you had any hesitation,

828
00:38:46,559 --> 00:38:48,559
we all knew it. But they're really I think raised

829
00:38:48,559 --> 00:38:51,000
their draft stock. Look when these NFL scouts been you

830
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,000
sat next to NBA scouts, You've talked to some NFL scouts.

831
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,480
When you talk about players, they're looking for how they play.

832
00:38:56,519 --> 00:38:58,639
It's not necessarily all with that team lost because if

833
00:38:58,639 --> 00:39:02,280
that's the case, I mean BAU basketball, you know, when

834
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,519
they had lost Jego or might not have been drafted,

835
00:39:04,519 --> 00:39:06,440
but what did he do. He performed in the biggest moments,

836
00:39:06,519 --> 00:39:08,480
and that's what you're looking for in Jack and Isaiah

837
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,159
really got after Texas Tech, you know, and if this

838
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,920
offense is really as proficient as the numbers say, if

839
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,320
they're really that explosive, they limited him like he had

840
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,760
four sacks in the first half, and Jack and Isaiah

841
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,960
counted for individually both one of those.

842
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,599
Speaker 8: So I think they really did.

843
00:39:22,639 --> 00:39:24,039
Speaker 6: And I think that's what you can hang your hat

844
00:39:24,039 --> 00:39:27,159
on again, is that this BAU defense is phenomenal. And

845
00:39:27,199 --> 00:39:29,519
I'm look, this might be more of alf D season discussion,

846
00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:33,519
but having Noucy joined, having to Celia Kanna, I think

847
00:39:33,559 --> 00:39:36,760
it's only gonna help linebackers in the country, you know,

848
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,519
because we talk about Brax and Lindzu's a part of

849
00:39:38,519 --> 00:39:41,440
twenty twenty six class. Linebackers don't want to come here,

850
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,880
that want to play and get to the next level.

851
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,000
Seeing Jack and Isaiah do what they're doing is just helping.

852
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,960
I think Jay Hills defense for further recruitment. And again,

853
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,599
this might be an off season conversation. But it's silver linings.

854
00:39:53,639 --> 00:39:55,559
If you can hang your hat on the defense, they

855
00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:57,679
can still leading GUIDs. You walk beside you like that

856
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,559
plug right there, and you can still Jack and Isaiah

857
00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:02,679
glasc will help you find the way along with j Hill.

858
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,320
But I think this long term is that BYU is

859
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,920
showing a game why it's linebacker you and you're gonna

860
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,519
have two linebackers playing it to me at extremely high

861
00:40:10,599 --> 00:40:12,960
level in the league, like Isaiah and Jack and Joy

862
00:40:13,039 --> 00:40:15,079
Why you can ben because it might not be here

863
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,360
next season, even with them both being dinged up, they

864
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,119
might not come back.

865
00:40:18,159 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 3: Still, well, some good silver linings, no doubt.

866
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 4: It was a loss as a loss as a loss,

867
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,480
just like a winner's and winness a win, but a

868
00:40:26,519 --> 00:40:30,119
few silver linings there. Let's get back to Kaladi'sataki commentary

869
00:40:30,159 --> 00:40:34,480
post game after this loss number seven. What were the

870
00:40:34,639 --> 00:40:39,199
issues with the special teams, particularly in the first half, Kalate,

871
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,199
what do you got for us?

872
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean the muff punt was a big issue,

873
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,800
you know, but and then you know we had the

874
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,199
missfield goal stuff like that. There's a lot of characteristic

875
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,039
of us, So I think we had a punt that

876
00:40:51,159 --> 00:40:53,920
was was it the first punt that, Yeah, I just

877
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,960
went off the side of our leg. So talking about

878
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,639
the field position, we didn't help ourselves at all. So

879
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,159
we didn't help Bear, We didn't help the offense. The

880
00:41:01,199 --> 00:41:04,039
three phases didn't compliment each other. And when I say

881
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:06,119
all that, those are the mistakes like kicking it off

882
00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:08,400
the side of your foot and making missing field those things.

883
00:41:08,639 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: That's that stuff. We can control the other stuff.

884
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 9: Texas Tech did a great job at controlling the game,

885
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,679
and that's just something that we need to get better

886
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,599
at doing ourselves. So I thought they played physical. We

887
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:20,880
liked the physical matchup.

888
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: It just just.

889
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 9: Things didn't work out our way and the momentum couldn't

890
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:25,239
We couldn't get it going.

891
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,079
Speaker 3: Just couldn't get it going. Number eight.

892
00:41:29,519 --> 00:41:32,519
Speaker 4: What went into the discussion of punting on that fourth

893
00:41:32,559 --> 00:41:35,679
down and not going for Yeah, it.

894
00:41:35,639 --> 00:41:38,159
Speaker 9: Was like fourth and I mean we knew that we'd

895
00:41:38,159 --> 00:41:40,800
have to rely on on size kick eventually, you know,

896
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,239
and try to do things. But we just felt like

897
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,039
that was trying to get the momentum to and try

898
00:41:46,079 --> 00:41:47,239
to find ways to pin them deep.

899
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 1: So that's the main reason why.

900
00:41:50,079 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 4: Is probably because the strength of this team at least

901
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,599
in this game and has been two degree? Has it

902
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,280
was the defense, right, So let's let the defense go

903
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,800
out there and look how many opportunities were there to

904
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,159
get to get the ball away. Well, Trey could have

905
00:42:04,159 --> 00:42:07,800
picked it off. Evan had an opportunity as well, had

906
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,880
he come back to the football. So you had opportunities

907
00:42:11,559 --> 00:42:14,039
you just didn't seize the day you didn't carp a

908
00:42:14,199 --> 00:42:17,519
DM number nine. Was this the first moment where you

909
00:42:17,559 --> 00:42:21,320
felt like bear Bachmeyer was playing like a true freshman

910
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:21,719
in the moment?

911
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:22,639
Speaker 3: Was a bit too big?

912
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: No?

913
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 9: I felt like that since the beginning, you know. So

914
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,760
he's always been a true freshman. But he'll be fine. Well,

915
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:29,639
we will support him.

916
00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:30,519
Speaker 1: We've got to.

917
00:42:30,519 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 9: We've got to give him more more support to compliment

918
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,440
his skills in all three phases. So this is not

919
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,239
a one one phase in one player is the blame here.

920
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 1: This is is anything. It's me.

921
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 9: I'm the head coach, you know, So we'll find ways

922
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,599
to get better, and I'll find ways to get this

923
00:42:45,679 --> 00:42:47,719
team and all three phases to compliment each other and

924
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:48,679
play better next time.

925
00:42:50,599 --> 00:42:53,119
Speaker 4: Has he really looked like a true freshman this season?

926
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,639
Like at what point says says Bear Blackmeyer. Have you

927
00:42:56,679 --> 00:43:01,000
looked at him and his decision making and the moment

928
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,079
has been too big for him outside of the Texas

929
00:43:03,079 --> 00:43:03,519
Tech game.

930
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:05,159
Speaker 3: You know what's.

931
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,639
Speaker 7: Funny as I listen to that and as you say that,

932
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,400
the thought that comes to my mind is, I bet

933
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,199
you there's a lot of other quarterbacks in the Big

934
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,159
twelve who are not true freshmen, who probably when they

935
00:43:15,159 --> 00:43:16,800
play at Lubbock, look like that.

936
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 3: I haven't gone.

937
00:43:17,519 --> 00:43:20,079
Speaker 7: Back through Texas Tech schedule, but I'd be willing to

938
00:43:20,079 --> 00:43:24,400
bet there's other quarterbacks who looked exactly like Bear did

939
00:43:24,559 --> 00:43:25,280
in that game.

940
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 3: In fact, I'm probably pretty sure.

941
00:43:27,039 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 7: I don't think Devin Dampier played that good against Texas

942
00:43:29,519 --> 00:43:32,840
Tech when they played at the University of Utah. So

943
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,360
this is probably, I think we would all agree, his

944
00:43:35,639 --> 00:43:38,280
lowest performance of the season, and I think this is

945
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,079
one where I'd be willing to play the you know what,

946
00:43:41,159 --> 00:43:43,239
he's a true freshman card. You gotta let him have

947
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,360
this one. But outside of that, like he's been winning

948
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,800
you games late in the fourth quarter, gotta have it

949
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:56,360
type of moments and has shrugged off the true freshman tag.

950
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,639
Speaker 4: Just so you know, Devin damp here five to thirty

951
00:44:00,679 --> 00:44:03,199
eight that game versus Texas Tech at home, one hundred

952
00:44:03,199 --> 00:44:05,840
and sixty two yards, sixty five point eight percent completion percented,

953
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,559
zero touchdowns, two y and t's.

954
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:08,679
Speaker 3: He was shacked.

955
00:44:09,039 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 4: Uh and then he had eleven carries twenty seven yards,

956
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,880
So like not much better, in fact, worse.

957
00:44:14,679 --> 00:44:18,599
Speaker 3: Than some statistical categories. And he was at home at home.

958
00:44:19,599 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 7: And he's not a true freshman now, which is weird

959
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,840
because I swear I read on Twitter that they were

960
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,000
gonna say that Devin damp Here was gonna win the Heisman.

961
00:44:27,039 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 3: I'm still still waiting on that one.

962
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 4: There's only a few, there are a vocal minority, hopefully

963
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,639
not the collective fan base believe that number ten. What's

964
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,519
Parker Kingston status. He looked a little banged up.

965
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's gonna he's gonna be fine. They hit hard,

966
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,920
and I mean they hit him right in the is

967
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,559
a low shadows clean but is physical, so he'll he'll

968
00:44:46,559 --> 00:44:51,079
be fine. But yeah, that was unfortunate, but that's the

969
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:52,119
games of a physical game.

970
00:44:52,159 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: It happens.

971
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 3: What do you got for me, Ronald the three man Weaver?

972
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 6: Look, this is going back to last come before the

973
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,880
Parker Kingston. Yes, Texas Tech does hit hard hard, no doubt,

974
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,000
but BA you also it's hard. Look, Kilanian said he's

975
00:45:04,039 --> 00:45:05,920
been saying all season that he's a freshman. But Ben,

976
00:45:06,119 --> 00:45:09,079
look I I pull tape. I remember when Klanie said

977
00:45:09,159 --> 00:45:11,559
he's not a true freshman, he's not that we can

978
00:45:11,639 --> 00:45:13,280
take off that tax. So I'm not buying that. Ben,

979
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,440
I'm sorry, I gotta I gotta call Colonie out. I

980
00:45:15,679 --> 00:45:17,920
love Klannie's great, but when you when you give me

981
00:45:18,039 --> 00:45:20,360
tate and you said that, Look, now you can't jump

982
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,119
back to say, well, you know, I've been saying that

983
00:45:22,159 --> 00:45:24,639
all year and he actually haven't though, Like that's what

984
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:25,519
You're gonna get caught up.

985
00:45:25,519 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 8: And I have to have accountability, Like, look.

986
00:45:27,519 --> 00:45:31,039
Speaker 6: I think it's okay to say whether he's a freshman

987
00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:32,639
or not out it doesn't matter. Like, Okay, I got

988
00:45:32,679 --> 00:45:35,400
some stats for you that might throw people off. Jalen

989
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,039
Daniels went twenty seven, thirty three and two touchdowns. You

990
00:45:38,079 --> 00:45:38,880
know where he looked good?

991
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,679
Speaker 8: Ben, just a second quarter? You know what he looked

992
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:41,840
the rest of the game, goose eggs.

993
00:45:42,039 --> 00:45:44,639
Speaker 6: The offense put up nothing like And that was Kansas,

994
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,199
a veteran team who has a worst record than by you,

995
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,360
by the way, coming into in Lubbock and didn't play well,

996
00:45:50,679 --> 00:45:52,519
like yeah, maybe the second quarter and they kept it,

997
00:45:52,559 --> 00:45:53,519
but what did they do in the second half?

998
00:45:53,519 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 8: They shut him out. So look, that's just what Texas

999
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:57,159
Tech does.

1000
00:45:57,159 --> 00:45:59,039
Speaker 6: So it doesn't matter. I just wanted to give that

1001
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,519
to give that balance of Colinie. But also it doesn't

1002
00:46:01,519 --> 00:46:03,920
matter if Bear even was a senior like Jalen Daniels

1003
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,840
is a fiftieth senior Ben to look with what happened.

1004
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 8: They made him look small.

1005
00:46:07,079 --> 00:46:10,159
Speaker 6: That's just how it goes against this great Texas Tech defense.

1006
00:46:10,199 --> 00:46:12,559
So I don't think it matters what year in school

1007
00:46:12,639 --> 00:46:14,599
you are, if you have to go to Lubbick or

1008
00:46:14,599 --> 00:46:17,239
if they come to your town, you're not beating David

1009
00:46:17,639 --> 00:46:18,679
Bailey and Romelo Height.

1010
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 8: They're just they're nice like that.

1011
00:46:20,599 --> 00:46:24,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder what the best I mean, I think

1012
00:46:24,119 --> 00:46:29,639
Sam Levitt probably had the best performance against this Tech defense.

1013
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 8: R Yeah, like.

1014
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 4: You know, if I pull up Sam's game log here,

1015
00:46:36,599 --> 00:46:40,159
let's see how how how he showcased his skills. Right,

1016
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,719
if you're on twenty eight to forty seven, three hundred

1017
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,239
and nineteen yards, fifty nine point six completion percentage, one

1018
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,159
touchdown and he was sacked four times, and then he

1019
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,239
ran the ball twelve times, but he was slinging it.

1020
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,159
Speaker 3: He was he was ripping it. He looked good.

1021
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 4: There were two specific plays I think chunkyards plays that

1022
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:58,440
if they.

1023
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,159
Speaker 3: Don't execute in this game though.

1024
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 4: They were kind of like scrambles downfield, eyes downfield, and

1025
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,559
he ripped one downfield as the as the wide receivers

1026
00:47:08,559 --> 00:47:11,599
got behind the coverage. But they were kind of broken

1027
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,800
play scrambled drill type of situation. And unfortunately b Yu

1028
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:21,960
doesn't have that. I'll be honest, like I know we

1029
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,880
we all like Bears intermediate throwing ability, but I'm gonna

1030
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,320
go back to what I talked about. I know I

1031
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,239
got hate for it, like he does not have the

1032
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,800
ability just to like to you don't have the ability

1033
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,039
to go max pro and have him sit back there

1034
00:47:35,199 --> 00:47:38,280
for four or five seconds and then rip a sixty yarder.

1035
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 3: You just don't.

1036
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,639
Speaker 4: He doesn't have that arm strength and so the ball

1037
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,239
has to come out in about three one thousand on

1038
00:47:45,519 --> 00:47:48,840
time on kind of a rope, on all your vertical routes.

1039
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 3: He's he's an accurate intermediate to short thrower one hundred percent.

1040
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,119
Speaker 4: But those double moves max pro scrambled drill where he's

1041
00:47:56,199 --> 00:47:59,480
he's elongating plays and can huck it downfield. Like that's

1042
00:47:59,519 --> 00:48:01,840
what I was maybe possibly hoping for in this game.

1043
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,760
But everyone that I pinged on I said, hey, can

1044
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,639
this happen? I try to go back and I try

1045
00:48:06,679 --> 00:48:09,119
to talk to people about this. I have my eyes,

1046
00:48:09,199 --> 00:48:11,199
I have my opinion, and then I throughout the season,

1047
00:48:11,199 --> 00:48:13,079
I'm like, am I seeing this correctly?

1048
00:48:13,159 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 3: Can we do this?

1049
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 4: And three different people that all had different perspectives on it,

1050
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,679
are different vantage points. Rather, they all said, hey, he

1051
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,719
just doesn't have the arm strike to do that. So

1052
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,039
that's the nature of it. And Sam Levitt does Sam Levitt,

1053
00:48:28,159 --> 00:48:30,639
That's what those two There was two big plays in

1054
00:48:30,679 --> 00:48:33,480
this game that got him to those those numbers.

1055
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,119
Speaker 6: But Ben also, if you look at the game too,

1056
00:48:35,199 --> 00:48:38,079
Arizona State, what didn't what They had three fumbles, but

1057
00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:39,840
they didn't lose the football and they took it away

1058
00:48:40,079 --> 00:48:42,639
from Texas Tech as well. So when you plus one

1059
00:48:42,639 --> 00:48:44,159
in the turnover a category, that does it. But I

1060
00:48:44,199 --> 00:48:45,880
have a question for you, Bred and I debated this.

1061
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,559
I want to get your thoughts. Could Jake Retz left

1062
00:48:49,599 --> 00:48:52,199
have made more plays down the field. Maybe he doesn't

1063
00:48:52,199 --> 00:48:54,840
win this ball game, or maybe you know his aggressive decision,

1064
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,719
but how would Jake haveb look, because Jake has a

1065
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,280
strong armed and bear. In my opinion, I feel like

1066
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,360
Jake could have pushed the ball vertical down the field

1067
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:01,960
on this defense.

1068
00:49:02,039 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 8: But I could be wrong in that.

1069
00:49:03,599 --> 00:49:04,039
Speaker 3: Look.

1070
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 4: We've had this debate, We've gone side by side. I

1071
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,440
pulled Jake retz left stats from this year at Tulane

1072
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,920
with the supporting cast that he has, etc. And playing

1073
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,199
in the LL Lesser Conference, the American Athletic Conference, and

1074
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,519
you compare that to currently what Bear Bachmeier has done,

1075
00:49:19,639 --> 00:49:22,360
and they were pretty similar, quite honestly, like they just

1076
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:28,159
were other than Jake probably running for more yards and

1077
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,400
had a few more explosive plays I would say, not

1078
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,079
only on the ground but also through the air at times.

1079
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 3: They were pretty similar. When we've had.

1080
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 4: This debate, though, we all felt, what, hey, it's better

1081
00:49:40,519 --> 00:49:42,480
to have a true freshman that's not turning the ball

1082
00:49:42,519 --> 00:49:46,280
over than what we saw last year and even the

1083
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,920
year prior with Jake, we automatically think that Jake wouldn't improved,

1084
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:55,159
wouldn't have improved on his ball security, and even Jake

1085
00:49:55,199 --> 00:49:57,960
got benched versus UTSA late in that game because he

1086
00:49:58,039 --> 00:49:59,760
was kind of turning the ball over and they were

1087
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:00,559
in the defense.

1088
00:50:00,639 --> 00:50:02,199
Speaker 3: Was just outmatch and they couldn't catch up.

1089
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 4: Now he came out and balled out versus Memphis once again,

1090
00:50:07,559 --> 00:50:09,920
what have we talked about with Jake Redslob His ceiling

1091
00:50:10,559 --> 00:50:13,679
can be extremely high. He believes he's Pat Mahomes and

1092
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:17,719
there's sometimes he has throws that he just they are perfect.

1093
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,360
They are glorious. Look go back and watch the ASU

1094
00:50:20,599 --> 00:50:23,800
second half before he threw the pick. What a performance

1095
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:28,239
that was second half, Watch the first half of the

1096
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:32,199
Baylor game, tremendous. You go back and you watch that

1097
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,960
Memphis game and you see the potential of Jake Redslow

1098
00:50:35,559 --> 00:50:39,039
And it's not all that difficult to conclude that with

1099
00:50:39,199 --> 00:50:42,320
Jake's throwing ability, which he's got a better arm than Bear,

1100
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,719
and his running ability he's more, he's faster than Bear,

1101
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,239
he's not as physical as Bear, that he would have

1102
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,639
given you a better opportunity to beat Texas Tech. Now,

1103
00:50:53,639 --> 00:50:57,880
does Jake automatically make you a winner in this game? No, no,

1104
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,840
not at all, But yeah, he have given you a

1105
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,719
better chance to win this game. Yeah, I think you

1106
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,280
could conclude that if you see Jake at his best

1107
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,840
right now, he's a he's a two year JUCO All American,

1108
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,559
right and he had essentially two years of playing at BYU.

1109
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 3: Like, he's more experienced than Bear.

1110
00:51:17,519 --> 00:51:20,039
Speaker 4: He's got more reps than Bear, and he's faster and

1111
00:51:20,079 --> 00:51:21,480
he's got a stronger arm than Bear.

1112
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,039
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think you could make that conclusion.

1113
00:51:25,079 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 4: I think you could say, hey, he could have given

1114
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,199
you a better opportunity, but he also could have turned

1115
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,800
the ball over fifteen times, not that many, but you

1116
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,159
know what I mean, he could have fumbled yeah more,

1117
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:37,320
And I mean, look, it was a Texteck was at

1118
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,920
home and they're their top five defense, they're a really

1119
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,679
good football team, and we didn't take advantage of anything,

1120
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,199
you know, through the air that Baron Morton, Like we

1121
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:51,119
didn't sack strip, cause a fumble and scoop and score

1122
00:51:51,159 --> 00:51:52,280
on what did I say in the middle of the game,

1123
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,440
Like we need a sack, strip, fumble, scoop and score,

1124
00:51:55,599 --> 00:51:57,920
Like we gotta find a way to score on defense

1125
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,880
or on special teams because their offense is struggling right now.

1126
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,360
And as we've the topic that we've broached, like our

1127
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:07,920
drop back passing game hasn't been great.

1128
00:52:08,079 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 3: It just hasn't, even though we look good in tempo

1129
00:52:11,039 --> 00:52:11,719
and maybe.

1130
00:52:11,519 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 4: The drop back passing it's more judicious to go tempo

1131
00:52:15,199 --> 00:52:18,400
than it is traditional dropback coming out of a huddle.

1132
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,599
If we go tempo drop back, maybe that's the that's

1133
00:52:21,639 --> 00:52:24,960
the key for Bear and this offense when we're struggling

1134
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,800
with the run game and the play action game.

1135
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:27,199
Speaker 3: Off of that.

1136
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, and there were also just some interesting play calls,

1137
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,800
Like there was one of the early second and nine

1138
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,400
that they were in. I'm watching and they have a

1139
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,599
play where all the routes are run past the line

1140
00:52:38,599 --> 00:52:41,920
of scrimmage and it's like, Okay, well, let's let's get

1141
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,719
short yardage instead of trying to go and get big

1142
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,719
chunk yardage. And I think from that standpoint, I mean,

1143
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,320
I haven't broken down every single play call of the

1144
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,199
entire game, and I certainly don't think the entirety of

1145
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,079
the game is a Rod's fault. It just felt like

1146
00:52:56,199 --> 00:52:59,360
a bad collection of things that when they all got

1147
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,280
mixed together, or they just spelled poorly for this team.

1148
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 3: I also think this is a game where you could

1149
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,679
have used the Kilan Marion. It or Darius Lassiter.

1150
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 7: I love Parker Kings, and I love Chase Roberts, and

1151
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,880
I think they are great possession catchers of the football.

1152
00:53:13,039 --> 00:53:15,360
But one thing about Keelan and Darius that was really

1153
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,800
great was those were guys that if it was one

1154
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,800
on one me versus you, they could go and get

1155
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,800
their own and they could go and create their own

1156
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,159
And I just don't know if BYU has a guy

1157
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,440
on this team who can get open when he's not

1158
00:53:27,559 --> 00:53:31,360
being schemed open. I think BYU really needs to look

1159
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,519
into getting one of those guys in the portal.

1160
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,639
Speaker 6: This offseason to second that opinion. And look, and I'm

1161
00:53:37,639 --> 00:53:39,000
not trying to tackle line. I don't want people to

1162
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,599
get mad because they might take it that way. The

1163
00:53:40,639 --> 00:53:42,599
complimentary football, you gotta let that go. If you're going

1164
00:53:42,639 --> 00:53:44,639
to be a team been that we've discussed multiple times

1165
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,719
competing in the College College Football Playoff, you gotta let

1166
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,159
the complimentary football go. You gotta come to a point where,

1167
00:53:50,199 --> 00:53:52,239
like Brett said, you go and get a four star

1168
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,199
guy like you didn't have Darius. Couldn't come back this

1169
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,719
way where they get approved Keeland transfers. You have the

1170
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,519
four star running back and you see the difference right

1171
00:53:58,599 --> 00:53:59,719
leading the big twelve and rushing.

1172
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:00,519
Speaker 8: So there's that.

1173
00:54:00,559 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 6: When you get the talent, you gotta go get it

1174
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,079
at the receiver level. The tight ends are coming in,

1175
00:54:04,199 --> 00:54:06,280
kids are going on missions, so that's in the pipeline,

1176
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,719
but you gotta get that guy at the receiver. Like

1177
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,639
when I look at Arizona State, Texas Tech knew that

1178
00:54:11,679 --> 00:54:13,360
the ball was going to Jordan Tyson and could not

1179
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,840
stop it. BAYU does not have that guy at the

1180
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,800
receiver position where it's like, yeah, that guy can get

1181
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:19,239
open every player, you can't stop it.

1182
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:20,519
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, it's not there.

1183
00:54:20,599 --> 00:54:23,119
Speaker 6: So this year you gotta go be like, we gotta

1184
00:54:23,159 --> 00:54:25,840
find a four star, high level, three star guy and

1185
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:27,760
pay him or get him, just like you did with

1186
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,360
LJ to couple up with Bear. Because if you want

1187
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,400
to be able to beat teams when you're not playing

1188
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,400
well on all sides of the football, you have to

1189
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,519
have a game changer, and they don't have a game

1190
00:54:36,599 --> 00:54:40,400
changing receiver person. Every single player was Darius, it was Keeling.

1191
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,079
I hope they go get it. I think they're capable

1192
00:54:42,119 --> 00:54:44,000
now because you got the running back, you got the

1193
00:54:44,079 --> 00:54:45,960
quarterback that can a little bit make it happen, but

1194
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,280
you don't have that receiver just yet.

1195
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 4: In my opinion, last two sound bites before we go

1196
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,719
to break, how confident are you in this year's team

1197
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,440
to be able to be to be capable of bouncing back.

1198
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 3: Last year there were back to back losses.

1199
00:55:00,119 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, last year lost to in a row. Yeah. Well

1200
00:55:02,519 --> 00:55:04,360
it makes me feel confident that we're going back home.

1201
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,800
Speaker 9: So that would be good going back home for gaming

1202
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,440
against the matchup against a really good TCU team, and

1203
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,039
so I feel confident that we'll be going to get

1204
00:55:11,039 --> 00:55:12,679
that done. This this is my job as head coach,

1205
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:14,679
get these guys ready and get to play at a

1206
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,440
higher level than what we did today. But I guess again,

1207
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,920
Texas Tech did a great job at what executing and

1208
00:55:23,039 --> 00:55:25,639
the fundamentals all of it. So we've got a lot

1209
00:55:25,639 --> 00:55:27,079
of work to do and a lot of work to.

1210
00:55:27,039 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 3: Improve going back home.

1211
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,599
Speaker 4: It is great, But bou did lose versus Kansas at

1212
00:55:33,599 --> 00:55:37,559
home last year. Hopefully that is not a sign a

1213
00:55:37,599 --> 00:55:40,039
bad omen right that you got back to back losses

1214
00:55:40,119 --> 00:55:42,079
last year one was at home.

1215
00:55:42,599 --> 00:55:45,039
Speaker 3: Now, last thing from Kalate.

1216
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:50,119
Speaker 4: You said this was this Texas Tech team was maybe

1217
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,239
expected coming out of the BI week, Sorr, I'm reading

1218
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:58,440
through this question. Was there any question regarding readiness or effort?

1219
00:56:00,639 --> 00:56:00,679
Speaker 1: No?

1220
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,079
Speaker 9: Efforts always there. I mean we're getting sacks and getting

1221
00:56:03,639 --> 00:56:05,800
knocked back. I mean Atlanta scrimmers a gett knocked back.

1222
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,760
It was a big place. I mean this was one

1223
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,440
big run, two big passes, you know, then causes a

1224
00:56:11,519 --> 00:56:11,960
muff pun.

1225
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:13,519
Speaker 1: Those are big plays at the beginning.

1226
00:56:13,519 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 9: That's a slow start, so eliminate the big plays and

1227
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,639
take care of yourselves. I thought the guys played physical

1228
00:56:18,679 --> 00:56:20,480
and then they made some big runs on here and there.

1229
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,199
But the guys the efforts there, I's got to do

1230
00:56:24,199 --> 00:56:24,719
a better job.

1231
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: Get them ready.

1232
00:56:27,079 --> 00:56:30,639
Speaker 3: The effort was there, the execution was lacking. All right, guys.
