Speaker 1: Risk of the mackfield with Montgomery three receivers on the
Speaker 1: right hand side, Utah showing some pressure.
Speaker 2: Now they back away from them.
Speaker 1: Now they bring a safety up, four man rush risk
Speaker 1: looking surveying, throwing down the field, and it's intercepted at
Speaker 1: the forty, at the fifty, at the forty, at the thirty,
Speaker 1: a convoy to the end.
Speaker 3: Zone and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: It's a Via Bond with a pick six in his
Speaker 1: final game as a Utes.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: Well it's not eleven o'clock circa four or five months ago.
Speaker 4: It is two thirty on a Wednesday afternoon. Hopefully we
Speaker 4: brought a little nostalgia to the listeners today as the
Speaker 4: voice himself, the Voice of the Utes, Bill Riley, stops
Speaker 4: by on a Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 3: Ryle's happy Wednesday. How you doing spend.
Speaker 1: Some good things going good on a Wednesday. I don't
Speaker 1: know what's gone faster, the fact that I've been off
Speaker 1: the air, not doing my show for four or five months,
Speaker 1: or the football season. It was like the football season
Speaker 1: went by really glad. I know it wasn't the season
Speaker 1: anybody wanted. I get that part of it, but it
Speaker 1: just felt like it was like the Southern Utah or
Speaker 1: the Baylor game just the other day.
Speaker 2: I can't believe the season's over.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I talk about it all the time.
Speaker 4: All we do when football is gone is complain and
Speaker 4: wait for it to come back, and then we're like
Speaker 4: miserable when it's here and then it's gone. It's like
Speaker 4: you need to enjoy it even when the season isn't
Speaker 4: what you hoped it would be, because it does come
Speaker 4: and go really quickly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've always said it's the season we wait longest for
Speaker 1: and it goes by the fastest. Nobody ever said, man,
Speaker 1: that NBA season just flew by. Nobody ever said, oh,
Speaker 1: that NHL or that baseball season flew by. But we
Speaker 1: always talk about football season like it was a blink
Speaker 1: of an eye.
Speaker 3: No doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 4: So Ryle's on a Wednesday afternoon, I have to ask you,
Speaker 4: Early Signing Day hot or not?
Speaker 2: I would say not.
Speaker 1: I feel like the transfer portal has overtaken.
Speaker 2: National Signing Day? Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: In the old days, we were all about the signing
Speaker 1: day and press conferences and who I just feel like
Speaker 1: everybody is like, Okay, that's great, but most of these
Speaker 1: kids aren't even going to play for a couple of years,
Speaker 1: if or even with our program in a few years.
Speaker 1: The transfer portal opens next week. Who can we go
Speaker 1: out and get Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, I'm with you there.
Speaker 4: I wonder how many of our listeners have any sort
Speaker 4: of context or frame or reference as to why I'm
Speaker 4: posing the question that way. But we don't need to
Speaker 4: dig into it any further. I will ask you, Yeah,
Speaker 4: a different time. It was a different time, for sure,
Speaker 4: in a lot of different ways. Bill, a different time.
Speaker 4: But I'll ask you. I'm not going I mean, I've
Speaker 4: got the list in front of you. We're doing kind
Speaker 4: of just live tracking here. Instead of going down the list,
Speaker 4: I'll just ask you, is there any buzz about any
Speaker 4: of these young players that Utah has locked in that
Speaker 4: you're hearing about up on the Hill.
Speaker 1: No, I mean it's kind of quiet today to be
Speaker 1: really fair. Again, I just think even schools and universities
Speaker 1: they're publicizing it, but it's just not quite what it was.
Speaker 1: It's very interesting to me that the quarterback they landed,
Speaker 1: not the kid from southern California, but the Texas State
Speaker 1: commit flipped just a couple of days ago. You know,
Speaker 1: does that have anything to do with a potential offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator Flip. And then the Thatcher kid, the linebacker, who
Speaker 1: I think is going to be a really really good
Speaker 1: kid too. I like him a lot as well. But
Speaker 1: it's just so hard today. It used to be oh man,
Speaker 1: which one of these guys is going to play next year?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: What are they going to be in a couple of years?
Speaker 1: And now it's just kind of like, Okay, I hope
Speaker 1: they stick around to develop because college football's become such
Speaker 1: a here and now, Spence. It's not about you know,
Speaker 1: you know, being in a program two or three years
Speaker 1: in biding your time. It's about, okay, how quickly you're
Speaker 1: going to get on the field. And if I can't
Speaker 1: get on the field, where can I go and get
Speaker 1: on the field?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well okay, so let's just move on from it.
Speaker 4: Then there's really nothing to dig into. And as I
Speaker 4: tell our listeners, we'll continued to update Shah on the
Speaker 4: breaking news that comes down if any of us rolls
Speaker 4: our way, but we do. We are in a spot now.
Speaker 4: We're waiting to hear who the play caller is going
Speaker 4: to be next year. As far as the OC. The
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator Ben Rbuckle, who was the name that was
Speaker 4: kind of floated out ends up at Oklahoma after doing
Speaker 4: a really good job on the polue. So I'll just
Speaker 4: ask you if any buzz you're hearing anything about any names,
Speaker 4: any idea when we may hear an announcement.
Speaker 1: I think, well, I think it's the priority right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the longer this goes, it feels
Speaker 1: more and more to me like Kyle Whittingham's coming back.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything, I honest with people have I've
Speaker 1: been bombarded all day long with text messages for the
Speaker 1: last four or five days. Kyle's been very hush about it.
Speaker 1: He told me over the weekend with Weary more Lander.
Speaker 1: He goes, hey, I'll let you know if something changes.
Speaker 1: I'm like, great, thanks. I haven't heard anything from him.
Speaker 1: So so I think if we're going to play the car,
Speaker 1: you know, it's always there's not going to be a
Speaker 1: press conference. If Kyle Whittingham comes back, might be release
Speaker 1: says hey I'm back for a couple more years whatever.
Speaker 1: But I'm approaching this as business as usual. So to
Speaker 1: your point, the offensive coordinator is the most important hire
Speaker 1: right now. I do know that they coveted the Arbuckle
Speaker 1: OC from Washington State, and a lot of people saw
Speaker 1: that connection and bringing the Materier kid his quarterback with him. Well,
Speaker 1: Oklahoma apparently swept in last second and must have made
Speaker 1: him an offer he couldn't refuse because he's now in Norman, Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: My guess is the quarterback Matier goes with him. So
Speaker 1: now it's on to the next I'm reading a lot
Speaker 1: of the same stuff that you're reading. I do know
Speaker 1: that this name, the mac Leftwich name from Texas State
Speaker 1: is somebody I even heard a week or two ago
Speaker 1: when our Buckle's name was starting to come up too.
Speaker 1: He runs a really good offense. It's a balanced offense.
Speaker 1: They throw it quite a bit, but they run it
Speaker 1: as well. At Texas State. He's one of those young
Speaker 1: and up and coming former college quarterbacks. Really done some
Speaker 1: good things, one of those hot young names. People say
Speaker 1: Texas State. Well, Texas State's pretty good program and he's
Speaker 1: had a lot of experience and he's recruited Texas So
Speaker 1: I think that's a name to keep an eye on.
Speaker 1: And then there's some other stuff out there as well.
Speaker 1: I mean there's a guy at Tulane to people like
Speaker 1: a lot. They've mentioned the ULV coach, although he might
Speaker 1: have plans to go bigger or try and get a
Speaker 1: head coaching job, But I think the name that's intriguing
Speaker 1: to me right now is the OC from Texas State,
Speaker 1: mac Lethwich.
Speaker 4: So you I want to follow up you touched on
Speaker 4: coach with But I want to follow up because of course,
Speaker 4: as you know, I mean, if I'm getting text ryles,
Speaker 4: I can't imagine what your phone is sounding like and
Speaker 4: looking like with everybody really wanting to know what's going
Speaker 4: to happen. And I started the show off today surmising
Speaker 4: that because there is no news, I do believe that
Speaker 4: means he's coming back. And I suppose the exception would
Speaker 4: be if he hasn't decided. But that seems pretty anti
Speaker 4: Kyle to me. He's not a wishy, washy like emotional guy.
Speaker 4: He strikes me as the type there would just decide
Speaker 4: and boom, move on to whatever's next. And I don't
Speaker 4: think he would put Morgan in a spot of ambiguity,
Speaker 4: and I don't think he would put the program or
Speaker 4: Mark Carlan the ad in a spot of like okay,
Speaker 4: wondering what the deal is? So for me the fact
Speaker 4: that there is no news does me and the coach
Speaker 4: with will be back on the sidelines for Utah?
Speaker 3: Is that kind of where your head is at right now?
Speaker 3: Give me your thoughts on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just because he's talked so much Spence about doing
Speaker 1: what's best for the program, because it's it's his program.
Speaker 2: He's done.
Speaker 1: He's sunk twenty years as head coach in thirty years
Speaker 1: of his life at the University of Utah.
Speaker 2: He is more.
Speaker 1: Synonymous with this football program than probably any player that
Speaker 1: played for him over the last twenty years.
Speaker 2: And he's talked in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: About whatever his decision is, he was going to do
Speaker 1: the best for the program. Well, holding out and making
Speaker 1: a decision a week or ten days that isn't what's
Speaker 1: best for the program.
Speaker 2: And at least in my mind, you know, if you're
Speaker 2: going to.
Speaker 1: Make that decision, you make it, You make that change,
Speaker 1: you let the new guy get in. That's Morgan Scalley
Speaker 1: coach and waiting and go from there. So the fact
Speaker 1: that we're sitting here on Wednesday now, maybe it has
Speaker 1: something to do with National Signing Day. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case. But you know, it's
Speaker 1: not as if you just started thinking about it Friday
Speaker 1: after the game. It's probably been something he's been mulling
Speaker 1: over for a little while. So the fact that we're
Speaker 1: sitting here on Wednesday and we've really heard no news,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you. I don't know this again,
Speaker 1: no news, you know, officially to Bill Riley, But my
Speaker 1: inkling would be because he's talked about doing what's right
Speaker 1: and what's best for the program, it kind of feels
Speaker 1: like it's trending toward him returning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you on that, all right.
Speaker 4: There was a rumor yesterday that Noah Flafida was hitting
Speaker 4: the transfer portal.
Speaker 3: That has been dispelled.
Speaker 4: Noah's father told the ESPN that he's staying at Arizona.
Speaker 4: I only bring it up, Bill, because yesterday I was
Speaker 4: just kind of talking aloud about the possibility of you
Speaker 4: Ti hitting the transfer portal to find quarterback. You watched
Speaker 4: every game up close, You called all these games up close.
Speaker 4: Do you feel like the answer under center is in
Speaker 4: the room or in the transfer portal?
Speaker 2: I think you probably have to go find somebody. Spence,
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: I think I like some of the stuff I saw
Speaker 1: from Brandon Rose. I do, and Brandon's got a couple
Speaker 1: of years left of eligibility. But you know, I to me,
Speaker 1: and it's really going to be up to the new
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, whoever that happens to be, to evaluate what
Speaker 1: his room looks like. But I think the head coach
Speaker 1: knows they have to have somebody, you know. I think
Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson could still be a terrific quarterback. But Isaac
Speaker 1: Wilson was thrown into a tough situation as a true freshman,
Speaker 1: and I think it takes a little time to marinate. Heck,
Speaker 1: look look at Dylan Ryola Spence who's at Nebraska. He
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the second coming of Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: this year and he's just been okay. He's had a
Speaker 1: lot of downs and ups. I just think it's tough
Speaker 1: at the power forward level as a true freshman without
Speaker 1: any game experience to come in and be successful. So
Speaker 1: I still think I'm still a guy that thinks Isaac
Speaker 1: Wilson could be a big quarterback. But I think redshirting
Speaker 1: for a year and maybe sitting back and looking and
Speaker 1: watching would be very beneficial.
Speaker 2: I think that was the plan.
Speaker 1: I think the plan all along was sit and learn
Speaker 1: from Cam Rising for a year, but obviously that went sideways.
Speaker 1: So to me, I think you're probably going to shop
Speaker 1: the portal and try and find somebody.
Speaker 4: So as of now, I believe, at least from what
Speaker 4: I understand today, and certainly pieces of news I could
Speaker 4: have missed. But is it only Jalen Glover who said
Speaker 4: the transfer portal from the utes.
Speaker 3: Or anybody else they've lost.
Speaker 4: I feel like the only name I've heard of note
Speaker 4: has been Jalen and he left prior to the end
Speaker 4: of the season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I saw a couple of notes that
Speaker 1: some not frontline guys, some guys that were maybe reserve players.
Speaker 1: Maybe it hit the portal, But yeah, you're right, there's
Speaker 1: been nobody of note that has hit the portal. In fact,
Speaker 1: you've seen some of the guys on social media, the
Speaker 1: Spencer Fanos and the Cam Calhouns and the smith Snowdens,
Speaker 1: some of these really good, young, talented cornerstone pieces kind
Speaker 1: of reaffirmed they're coming back. In twenty five, Logan Fano
Speaker 1: did the same thing, So, yeah, Glover hit it up.
Speaker 1: You know, a week or so ago, I saw a
Speaker 1: couple of you know kind of reserve type players that
Speaker 1: maybe did, but nobody of note.
Speaker 4: Well, that's excellent news, and obviously there's plenty of time.
Speaker 4: The portal officially opens on the ninth. So here's how
Speaker 4: I'll pose the question to you, Bill, what gives you
Speaker 4: the most confidence that this year was an anomaly and
Speaker 4: a moment in time as opposed to the new normal
Speaker 4: for Utah.
Speaker 1: Football because we haven't seen dips like this. It was
Speaker 1: back to back, I mean a year ago.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I teach the class up of to you, and I
Speaker 1: had one of the kids in my class the other
Speaker 1: day make a presentation on Utah football and what it was,
Speaker 1: and he brought up an interesting stat. Had Utah Football's
Speaker 1: offense simply averaged twenty four points a game this year,
Speaker 1: they would have gone I think nine to three. Had
Speaker 1: they averaged twenty eight points a game this year, I
Speaker 1: think he said, they would have gone ten and two.
Speaker 1: Twenty eight points to twenty four points are double digit
Speaker 1: points lower than what they averaged the two years they
Speaker 1: won the Pac twelve championship. It just hasn't been like this.
Speaker 1: I think injuries and attrition and a little bit of
Speaker 1: bad luck have Befallen this team. The defense was still outstanding.
Speaker 1: They were in every game in the fourth quarter, with
Speaker 1: the exception of I think the Colorado game where they
Speaker 1: were double digits down there, But besides that, they were
Speaker 1: in every game. Just some pretty average quarterback play this
Speaker 1: year Spence and Utah would have been I'm not going
Speaker 1: to say it would have won the pack.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they would.
Speaker 1: Have won the Big twelve, but averaged to slightly above
Speaker 1: average quarterback play and they would have been in that
Speaker 1: discussion last weekend with BYU and ASU and c is
Speaker 1: in Colorado and Iowa State. So that to me says
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of talent in the program, but
Speaker 1: they've got to get it fixed at the most important position.
Speaker 3: Which leads me to Cameron.
Speaker 4: Of course, when coach Witt was asked about Cam potentially
Speaker 4: coming back for year number eight, which is just it's
Speaker 4: so crazy to think about the potential, but that's the
Speaker 4: deal now, Kyle said it's up to him. I wonder
Speaker 4: what Kyle would do if Cam called him and said, hey,
Speaker 4: I got to talk to you, enrolled into the coach's
Speaker 4: office and said I've thought about it. There's some Nile
Speaker 4: money out there, and I've decided to come back for
Speaker 4: your aid. If we take Kyle at his word, he
Speaker 4: just opens the door, right, Like, what do you think
Speaker 4: Coach Witt does if that scenario presents itself That.
Speaker 2: I don't know, because I don't.
Speaker 1: It's hard to, you know, after back to back seasons
Speaker 1: were Cam. I mean Cam's been here five years and
Speaker 1: he has been hurt season ending injuries in three of
Speaker 1: those five years. We all forget the COVID year where
Speaker 1: he hurt his shoulder in that USC first second game
Speaker 1: of the year, and then of course you had the
Speaker 1: end of the Rose Bowl, and then he missed the
Speaker 1: entire season, and then this year too. That's a lot
Speaker 1: of track record of injury to bring back. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying somebody wouldn't give him a chance. I'm not even
Speaker 1: saying Utah wouldn't. But boy, you really have to weigh
Speaker 1: that because you see guys all the time.
Speaker 2: Once you start.
Speaker 1: Getting hurt, that tends to be your kind of tells
Speaker 1: you the body is just not taking and recovering the
Speaker 1: same way it used to.
Speaker 2: So I think it'd be a really tough.
Speaker 1: Decision, and I wouldn't want to hazard a guess as
Speaker 1: to what Kyle and his staff will do again, though
Speaker 1: I think it's up to the offensive coordinator too. Spence,
Speaker 1: you're bringing in an offensive coordinator, and in theory Kyle said,
Speaker 1: it's got to be a guy that's running a new
Speaker 1: and different system. It's got to be plug and play.
Speaker 1: The new OC has to be on board with who
Speaker 1: his QB is because that's the most important position on
Speaker 1: the field. So I would think it would be a
Speaker 1: kind of a co op decision between head coach and
Speaker 1: OC as to whether they brought him back.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: The other thing, Bill and I don't know how much
Speaker 4: meat is on this bone, but I did hear several
Speaker 4: people surmised last year that the fact that Cameron was
Speaker 4: coming back potentially may have scared some quarterback prospects to play,
Speaker 4: you know, wanting to come play here because they simply
Speaker 4: didn't want to be as backup.
Speaker 3: Those are just rumors. I have no idea, But.
Speaker 4: I think the other side of it is if Utah
Speaker 4: wants to be aggressive in the transfer portal to go
Speaker 4: get one of these top shelf qbs to be here
Speaker 4: for a year or two, it might just be better
Speaker 4: for both parties to say Hey, thanks for the memories.
Speaker 4: But you walk that way, I'll walk this way and
Speaker 4: we part in love type thing. I mean, that's just
Speaker 4: kind of what my gut tells me.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, if you're serious about shopping in
Speaker 1: the portal for a bit, nobody that's no Noah Fafido
Speaker 1: or John Mattier is coming here that they're coming here
Speaker 1: to be the guy. That's what they're coming here to be.
Speaker 1: They're coming here to be the starting quarterback. And they've
Speaker 1: got a chance to. You know, again, everybody I under
Speaker 1: said you've got to win the job in fall camp.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. But but it's the unwint and wink wink.
Speaker 1: As long as you show up and play hard, you're
Speaker 1: gonna that's that's the thing. So you've got to really
Speaker 1: make your choice. If you're Utah, you're either bringing Cam
Speaker 1: rising back or you're going in the portal and shopping
Speaker 1: for a big time you know, transfer quarterback.
Speaker 3: Yeah, only time will tell.
Speaker 4: Okay, one more football thing, then I want to do
Speaker 4: a little basketball with you. We got Saint Mary's on Saturday,
Speaker 4: which should be an interesting test for Craig. And look,
Speaker 4: I honestly don't know if there's anything here, But I
Speaker 4: do know that BYU, you're one of the Big Twelve,
Speaker 4: talked a lot about the lessons they learned in their
Speaker 4: first year in the conference. Now, the main difference here
Speaker 4: and real important line of delineation is Utah football played
Speaker 4: a decade of P five football, then P four football
Speaker 4: now with the Pac twelve, and BYU football independent was
Speaker 4: not a P four P five program.
Speaker 3: They did not have that schedule.
Speaker 4: Year and in, year out, So the one year adjustment period
Speaker 4: for them just makes more sense in my mind than
Speaker 4: it would for Utah. But are there lessons to be
Speaker 4: learned for Utah football year one in a new conference?
Speaker 4: So maybe Utah next year, like BYU year two, can
Speaker 4: turn some of those close losses into wins and then
Speaker 4: be potentially looking to be in the race for the
Speaker 4: conference championship.
Speaker 3: Is there is there any meat on that bone?
Speaker 1: I think there's small lessons Spence, and I think it's
Speaker 1: more specific to opponents or venues or styles of play.
Speaker 1: But to be fair, I don't I don't think that
Speaker 1: the Big I think the Big Twelve was very competitive,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it was any better a league
Speaker 1: or certainly at the top than what Utah saw for
Speaker 1: thirteen years in the PAC twelve. I don't think there
Speaker 1: was a roster adjustment or a talent level. I don't
Speaker 1: think there was a disparity in talent between the two
Speaker 1: leagues by any means. So if there were any lessons,
Speaker 1: they were maybe smaller lessons about opponents in particular, or
Speaker 1: how coaches like the coach against you, or styles of
Speaker 1: play more than anything else.
Speaker 3: You saw both teams up close.
Speaker 4: Who do you like Iowa State Arizona State coming up
Speaker 4: Saturday in Arlington.
Speaker 1: I think I like Arizona State. It kind of feels
Speaker 1: like a team of destiny this year. It kind of
Speaker 1: feels like Kenny Kenny Dillingham has found something there. I
Speaker 1: like Levit a lot. That being said, I did say this,
Speaker 1: I think Iowa State is the most balanced team Utah
Speaker 1: played this year. May have been the best team on
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. But I think Arizona State's
Speaker 1: kind of playing with the purpose and they've got that
Speaker 1: proverbial you know, that that that that the horseshoe up
Speaker 1: their rear end just a little bit, getting some breaks
Speaker 1: and playing hard. And I like Kenny Dillingham too, So
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a good game. I don't
Speaker 1: think either one of those teams are greatly better than
Speaker 1: the other, but I'll take a issue.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: Last thing that I'll set you loose. Saint Mary's rolls
Speaker 4: into town Saturday night. Should be a fun preseason test
Speaker 4: for Craig's team. They're six and one through seven to
Speaker 4: one l is to Mississippi State. I've been intentionally watching
Speaker 4: a lot of Big twelve basketball, and I know Craig,
Speaker 4: and I love this about Craig's attitude. He wants to challenge. Well,
Speaker 4: he's going to get the challenge, because my goodness, it
Speaker 4: is deep, and even even the teams that aren't ranked
Speaker 4: in the top twenty five are really really high caliber.
Speaker 4: BYU get smoked last night against Providence. But give us
Speaker 4: an update of progress report through seven games on this
Speaker 4: basketball team, and what's a reasonable expectation, not just Saturday night,
Speaker 4: but throughout the course of the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: I've been saying this for a while. This is a
Speaker 2: this is a good team.
Speaker 1: I think they're going to outplay their preseason expectations by what.
Speaker 1: I don't know yet, but they're six and one right now. Spence,
Speaker 1: they lost Their one loss was a neutral court loss
Speaker 1: in Mississippi to Mississippi State. But I do maintain have
Speaker 1: lost and Lovering played that game, they would not have
Speaker 1: lost that game. They got beat seventy eight to seventy three.
Speaker 1: In that game, they were playing four guards and they
Speaker 1: had they were small ball all day long in a
Speaker 1: bunch of foul trouble. I think they're seven to ZH
Speaker 1: if they have that now, they're gonna need Lovering and
Speaker 1: a little bit of Zach Keller. They're gonna need their
Speaker 1: size and their big boy bridges on Saturday, because Saint
Speaker 1: Mary's is tough. They're eight and one. Their only loss
Speaker 1: was to ASU and a close one. They leave the
Speaker 1: nation in offensive rebounding. NBA fans out there will be interested.
Speaker 1: The great sharonis Marshall o Onis. His son Augustus is
Speaker 1: the stud for this Saint Mary's team. But they're balanced
Speaker 1: and it's what Randy Bennett always does.
Speaker 2: Spence.
Speaker 1: He's got a bunch of big bodies that will just
Speaker 1: bang in the front court and got good guard plays.
Speaker 1: So this will be the best non conference game for
Speaker 1: Utah by far, and the best game of the Huntsman
Speaker 1: Center till Big Twelfth's play begins. Utah's got great depth
Speaker 1: and they can really shoot it too. They've got five
Speaker 1: guys who can shoot it, a couple of guys coming
Speaker 1: off the bench.
Speaker 2: But to me, the one thing, if they can keep.
Speaker 1: Saint Mary's off the Saint Mary's has twice as many
Speaker 1: offensive rebounds as their opponents this year. They lead the
Speaker 1: nation in offensive rebounding. You can keep them a little
Speaker 1: bit off the offensive glass. I think they could beat
Speaker 1: Saint Mary's. I think it'll be a great game though.
Speaker 4: All Right, my guy, I appreciate the time on a Wednesday,
Speaker 4: still waiting for you to roll in the studio and
Speaker 4: hang out with us at some point.
Speaker 3: So let's do that soon.
Speaker 2: Okay, sounds good, Spence, Thanks all right.
Speaker 4: The Voice of the Utes, Bill Riley, brought to you
Speaker 4: today by Big O' Tires at their extended Black Friday sale.
Speaker 3: It ends on December the eighth,
