12
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:35,200
a little keeping up with Cougar is going to welcome

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,840
to a former bou quarterback to discuss BYU football. A

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,640
couple of the topics we're gonna be delving into today.

15
00:00:40,679 --> 00:00:44,159
We've broached a few of these with other guests, Uh,

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,439
but we're gonna get into them again. A couple of

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:51,119
things here, Uh. Position needs in the portal. Right, I

18
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,439
know it's closed, but there's still some opportunities to acquire

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,640
some talent via the portal. I got to know who

20
00:00:55,719 --> 00:00:58,719
QB two is next year? Who is it and why?

21
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:01,799
Who is your favorite to become quarterback Numero Dos?

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,799
Speaker 3: And why is it? Trayson Borgay?

23
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: Is it ENoG Watson Goldie the true freshman out of

24
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:10,640
American Leadership Academy? Is it a transfer portal player? Is

25
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,840
it a JUCO transfer?

26
00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: Who is it? And why? Tell me break that down

27
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:14,480
for me.

28
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: Also, we're gonna get into what this offensive system can

29
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,959
do led by a Rod and his crew with the

30
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,040
retention of talent and coaching staff. What is the ceiling

31
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:27,159
for this bu Bau football team offensively?

32
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,439
Speaker 3: All that and more in this segment.

Speaker 2: Living good? Baby, living right? It's Friday. It's a beautiful

49
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,080
day to be a cougar.

50
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 3: Brother.

51
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,319
Speaker 4: It's always a beautiful day to be a cougar, isn't it.

52
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: It is a lot a lot of gratitude, Uh, you know,

53
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,960
coursing through my veins right now.

54
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,039
Speaker 3: I appreciate you hopping on.

55
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: Look, we're in this offseason, we're leading up to to

56
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:26,960
UH spring ball.

57
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: Here.

58
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: I do think there are some needs still to be

59
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,479
addressed in the portal. What, in your opinion are some

60
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,280
of the positional needs that could still be addressed. They

61
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:40,719
have acquired, you know, three offensive linemen, two tight ends,

62
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:42,960
two really nice tight ends. They've got a wide receiver

63
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:46,599
that they brought in, Kyler Casper from Oregon. They picked

64
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,080
up two linebackers, one from the ACC and cal Kate

65
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,960
Ulaave that maybe the gem of the class, and then

66
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:58,280
Clifton from Kansas State. That's essentially our crew. What is

67
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,960
it that we need to maybe a dress via the portal.

68
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,319
Speaker 4: If anything, well, I think you're going to start looking

69
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,159
now at your your depth and the quality of your depth.

70
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:12,199
Running back, I think would well, I think we need

71
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,240
another running back to secure the depth behind LJ and MOA.

72
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:22,360
And then and then defensive backfield, I think is a

73
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,800
is a need there as well. I think we're we're

74
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:31,039
forming everything in the trenches quite nicely, and I think

75
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,520
now we're just looking for depth. But if I were

76
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,639
to say number one, probably be defensive backfield, and then

77
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:43,319
move to depth and offensive line, I really don't think

78
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,599
you can have enough quality on line because I really

79
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:51,360
do think that's the backbone of your team, because your

80
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,080
quarterback doesn't do anything, your offense doesn't do anything unless

81
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,120
you have a really good offensive line. And where we're

82
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:01,960
projected to be, I mean, when we finished the end

83
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,680
of the season at eleven, expectations a little bit higher,

84
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,520
and I know we'll probably get to this a little

85
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,039
bit later, but without a good offensive line, we're not

86
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,000
gonna sniff the playoffs. And so I think depth there

87
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,399
is going to be really really vital for us. But

88
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,879
I would say, yeah, defensive backfield, depth in the offensive line,

89
00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:27,000
running back receiver corps. Obviously, you can can't have enough

90
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,800
of good playmakers on that out on the outside too.

91
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,920
So I'd say skill guys and you know, mostering up

92
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:37,839
the trenches.

93
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: I like it. I like it.

94
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: I'd like to see, yeah, maybe a couple more key acquisitions.

95
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,040
One of the question marks some Cougar fans have is

96
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,639
who's going to be QB two. We saw that Bear

97
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,000
Bachmeier is not immortal, that he is not impregnable. That

98
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:58,279
he is he can be injured, despite that robust six

99
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:01,199
foot two to two and forty five pound frame that

100
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,399
can tote for tuddies and throw the rock as good

101
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:06,560
as anybody in college football.

102
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: But he has a weakness.

103
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: It's a high ankle sprain when a three hundred pound

104
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:13,160
defensive tackle rolls up on him.

105
00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: Who's QB two next year?

106
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: And why we lost McKay Hillstead traycon Borget is still

107
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:19,600
on the roster.

108
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: He's running it back.

109
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:26,439
Speaker 2: Enick Watson a true freshman with a with a golden arm.

110
00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:28,959
I've been told in Golden Hair they called him Goldie.

111
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:32,839
They're in the Watson family. He's gonna be on the roster,

112
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,959
you know. But there's a lot of debate out there

113
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,639
whether or not by he needs to go into the

114
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,040
portal and find a QB two that's willing to back

115
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,879
up bear Bachmer who's QB two next year?

116
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 4: And why well, I mean, if you if you start today,

117
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,680
the obvious choice is Bobby Bouchet is what I.

118
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,519
Speaker 2: Affectionately Bobby Bobby Trey Bourgay exactly.

119
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 4: And so because he's been in there now for I

120
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,839
think this will be his third year, so he knows offense,

121
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:11,079
he's older, more mature. He's a great kid. My guys,

122
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,000
I spoke to the kid. I can't say that. I'm

123
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,680
I can't believe I'm calling him a kid. He's twenty

124
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,079
something years old. But I spoke to him last spring

125
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,480
for about ten minutes for a while while he's warming up.

126
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,279
My gosh, he's such a good kid and a good dude.

127
00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:33,839
And I know for a fact that the team will

128
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,120
rally around him and really likes him as just not

129
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,439
just a great football player, great quarterback, but as a person.

130
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,639
So there's that there's no splinter in the locker room

131
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:52,279
if something were to happen and tracing were to go in, like,

132
00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:57,439
everybody has his back, So that's not a would be

133
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,720
an issue. But just based on experience, and I don't know,

134
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,240
Enich sounds like Goldie. I'm probably gonna call him Sunshine.

135
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:11,319
Sounds to me like Sunshine. Yeah, exactly, that's what he's

136
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,120
going to be, probably known by me. But but just

137
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,600
based on experience, you know, he's coming off a mission

138
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,920
two years timing this that, and so obviously Spring's gonna

139
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,959
be big for him to catch up and see, okay,

140
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:30,079
offense and how everything works and calling out pass pros

141
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,279
and things like that. It's it's more than just having

142
00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:38,160
a big arm or being able to run the ball

143
00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:41,399
in between the like. It's you've got to be able

144
00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:45,800
to You've got to be able to protect yourself from

145
00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:48,959
getting those hits as much as you can avoid getting

146
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:56,000
hit in the pocket. That's something that he's obviously behind it. Well,

147
00:07:56,079 --> 00:07:58,199
Tracy is not. He knows offense, he knows where to

148
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,759
put his offensive lineman towards whatever that he thinks where

149
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:07,800
the blitz is gonna come from. So right now it

150
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,160
would be Trey so and I don't know, Yeah, they

151
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,759
still have a fourth guy they need to get, so

152
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,120
we'll just have to wait and see you on who

153
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,680
that other guy is to compete for the backup spot.

154
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: The quarterback position.

155
00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:28,879
Speaker 2: Obviously the QB two spot is going to be up

156
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:32,240
for grabs, most likely tracing, but ena could maybe steal it.

157
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:36,000
You could have a transfer player come in. And you

158
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,120
know how many quarterbacks Steve, do you think you need

159
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,879
on the roster in a given year? Sometimes you have four,

160
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,519
sometimes you have five, sometimes you have six. This day

161
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,120
and Age, what's the right number?

162
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,039
Speaker 4: Well, I think now you've got to go down to

163
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,799
you got to play nice and what are the team's

164
00:08:53,879 --> 00:08:56,879
overall needs. I think you can get away with four.

165
00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:02,720
Five is great, but I four and giving maybe one

166
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:08,879
to where you need depth for us defensive backfield, receivers,

167
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,720
extra depth running back or lineman. So you know, I

168
00:09:14,759 --> 00:09:19,039
know every position has typically clienting will go okay, y'all

169
00:09:19,039 --> 00:09:22,799
have eight, or you guys have four or five or whatever,

170
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,600
and so obviously wanting to be the best team they

171
00:09:27,639 --> 00:09:32,039
can collectively. Uh, And I think the quarterback room may

172
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,120
be in this situation where they are allotted five but

173
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,480
probably only gonna look like it's gonna take four and

174
00:09:40,519 --> 00:09:44,080
give one to the receiver corps or you know somebody

175
00:09:44,159 --> 00:09:47,480
other position group that needs a little bit more depth.

176
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,399
But so yeah, I think four you can get away

177
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:55,440
with four and so yeah, I think that's yeah, four

178
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,840
to five and we're rowing love it.

179
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,799
Speaker 2: And he had the the Are you concerned at all

180
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,559
about quarterback depth that you saw?

181
00:10:04,799 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: You saw Beart get rolled up on.

182
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,399
Speaker 2: He does run the ball, uh, maybe more than than

183
00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:12,039
traditional college quarterbacks.

184
00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: Right.

185
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: He had upwards of almost I think five hundred rushing

186
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:17,159
yards and he was very much heavily involved in red

187
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,200
zone rushing. How concerned you about his health, his body,

188
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,000
his uh, his play style?

189
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 4: Well, I don't think you will see the same uh

190
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,960
frequency of him as far as quarterbacks run, go design

191
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,480
quarterback runs like we did this year because one more

192
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,679
year in the system and a receiving corps that's gonna

193
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:50,039
need the ball in their hands because we've got playmakers

194
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,039
on the outside. I think you see. I mean if

195
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,960
we I think he threw it for just over three

196
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,440
thousand yards, he'll approach four thousand. I think in the

197
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,200
passing game, I think a Rod opens it up a

198
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,679
lot more this year than he did last year because

199
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,000
of maybe as inexperience and knowing the playbook, but then

200
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:18,039
his ability to run inside the tackles. I think now

201
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:21,360
it's gonna be He's gonna be more of a transformational

202
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,480
quarterback in that not a traditional like straight drop back

203
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:29,399
all the time. A rod knows you have to move

204
00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:34,840
certain release points. But you can't just sit back there

205
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,720
in the pocket and throw it sixty times and be

206
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:41,559
successful with this day and age of defenses and how

207
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,600
smart they are and how bigger and faster and stronger

208
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,240
they they used to be. But I do think you'll

209
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,000
see Bear more outside of the pocket, making plays outside

210
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,240
of the pocket. Yeah, he'll still have that shiftiness and

211
00:11:56,279 --> 00:11:59,320
his good feet inside, you know, between the tackles, but

212
00:11:59,399 --> 00:12:02,679
I think you he might see more plays outside of

213
00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:05,960
the tackles and outside the hashes and throwing the ball

214
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,960
down the field vertically than we may have seen this year.

215
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:15,759
And so for that reason, I'm really really excited. So sustainability, yes,

216
00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:19,440
because I think he's going to be more running the

217
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,000
ball because he has to, not necessarily because he needs to,

218
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,480
and so and that's going to be a breakdown on

219
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,840
as far as the pocket concerns or a blitz or whatever,

220
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,919
and so that will be another weapon. It's a different kind.

221
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,600
It's the same weapon, but maybe a little bit different.

222
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,799
It looks a little bit different, just because I think

223
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:47,519
his body type is going to change a little bit

224
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:52,759
over the off season and throughout the spring, and I'm

225
00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:58,159
looking forward to a different looking bear backmyre but and

226
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,679
even better, even better throwing Tim Tebow.

227
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,879
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. I'd love to see that.

228
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,159
Speaker 2: Where do you think he's going to make improvements in

229
00:13:08,159 --> 00:13:10,639
his throw ability this offseason? What is going to work

230
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:15,519
on specifically in his mechanics and his throw ability?

231
00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:19,279
Speaker 4: Well, I think his actually has always been good, and

232
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:27,120
I think you can never be you can never be

233
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,960
good enough above the neck. So I think not just physically,

234
00:13:32,039 --> 00:13:35,919
but I think psychologically and mentally, I think he goes

235
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,120
to another level because of his confidence. Having a year

236
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,159
under his belt and throwing for three thousand and Russian

237
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:48,120
for five hundred, everything looks different. Everything slows down for

238
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,399
him in year two. And that's huge. I mean that's

239
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,519
huge for any position, for any athlete in any sport.

240
00:13:57,879 --> 00:14:01,279
Is you have a year under your belt, Okay, based

241
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,799
the Texas Text of the World and and and these

242
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,120
guys in the Big twelve weekend and week out the

243
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,039
robbery game, even though it was in provo. Now you

244
00:14:12,159 --> 00:14:18,080
have another you know, a Notre Dame type, huge, huge

245
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,159
game and the middle of the season in provo playing

246
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,879
those guys, so like he's been battle tested, battle proven.

247
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,799
I think you're gonna see him throw the ball a

248
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:33,000
lot more. I think he's gonna be quicker, he's gonna

249
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,759
be a little bit slimmer probably, and like I said,

250
00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:39,120
make more plays outside of the tackles and in between

251
00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:40,879
the tackles this next year.

252
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: Love that breakdown. You can never be uh you know

253
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,159
what was the keywords?

254
00:14:46,279 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: You said? You can't you can't ever not be like good.

255
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,399
Speaker 2: Enough to you know, Sorry, I can't remember exactly what

256
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,960
you said, but you gotta be great above the shoulder pads.

257
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: You gotta keep that football like.

258
00:14:55,399 --> 00:15:00,159
Speaker 2: You pristine and at a high level, especially going to

259
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,159
your sophomore season.

260
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and the next below stuff is giving him confidence

261
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:11,960
to go neck above and be mentally and psychologically strong,

262
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,840
where I think he's already been. Like that's I think

263
00:15:14,879 --> 00:15:18,080
that's one of the things that have sustained him through

264
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,559
all of last year is you couldn't tell if he

265
00:15:21,559 --> 00:15:24,759
had thrown an interception or a touchdown based on his

266
00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:29,600
excitement level afterwards, and so he already has that encased

267
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,840
in him, and that just goes to another level. Now

268
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,919
you're getting into an elite level where I mean really

269
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,440
nothing bothers is gonna bother the kid because he can

270
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,200
physically do it, now he can psychologically do it. Here

271
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,080
we go, just buckle up.

272
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: Buckle up, ladies and gentlemen, Steve Klements, Ladies and gentlemen.

273
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,639
Talking is a BYU Football in this segment and of

274
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,399
keeping up with the Cougar segment brought to you by

275
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:59,919
Odion Minswear odionmnswear dot com. Steve, are you feeling optimistic

276
00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:02,879
that this Billy football team can be better than they were.

277
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 3: This last year?

278
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: Can they get over the hump this next season and

279
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,399
get to a college football playoff?

280
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: Yes? I think I think the floor would be ten

281
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:18,120
and two and I think the ceiling would be twelve

282
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:22,240
and ohero, I think I think you're gonna see. I'll

283
00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:26,120
just call it the team up North. They I could

284
00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:31,000
see them being undefeated on November seventh, along with us,

285
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,600
and so that's obviously a big game. And then before

286
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,399
a couple of weeks before that, Notre Dame at home

287
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:42,480
and Provo. Those are the two games that do you

288
00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:44,440
look at and you go yep, those are gonna be

289
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:51,159
They're gonna be tough but winnable games, both of them

290
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,759
without a doubt. And that's why I say, yeah, Ceedland

291
00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:58,960
twelve and oh undefeated and Floor ten and two, which

292
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,440
is lofty, but again with consent assistency over the last

293
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,480
three years. Of course, they're the expectations. Their expectations is

294
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:13,920
to win every freaking game. So but yeah, I really

295
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:21,200
do think we're we're ready for a really breakout season

296
00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:25,119
and yes, a better season than last year. I really

297
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,839
think so is uh I think we do actually play

298
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,640
Texas Tech again in the Big twelve Championship. Yeah, because

299
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,119
they're freaking schedules cupcakes. I mean it's ridiculous. Its amount

300
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,599
of the cupcakes is ridiculous. So it's like those dudes

301
00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:45,920
from Labick are already probably booked their hotels and dollar

302
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:52,960
for Arlington, uh next year. So anyway, I.

303
00:17:53,079 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 2: Love the breakdown is a rod TJ. Woods, Kevin Gilbrid, Harvewing.

304
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,480
Are they taking this offense to the next level this

305
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:00,000
next season?

306
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:02,319
Speaker 3: Oh?

307
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I said, I think you're gonna see You're

308
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:12,079
gonna see Bear approach the four thousand mark in passing yards.

309
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,720
I think probably his rushing yards are about the same,

310
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:21,160
just like I mentioned earlier, in different ways that he

311
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,519
gets that five hundred, six hundred seven hundred yard mark.

312
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,599
I wouldn't be surprised if you know he approaches one

313
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,319
thousand yards rushing and four thousand yards passing and combined

314
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:40,880
for about five grand. And so yeah, absolutely they go

315
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,240
to a different level. And I think you'll see a

316
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,480
little bit different offense throwing the ball down the field vertically,

317
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,559
and maybe you see a quarterback draw a lot more

318
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:56,480
than you did because guys are gonna have to cover

319
00:18:56,759 --> 00:19:00,400
our guys deep. And now that allows bear to have another,

320
00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:02,960
you know, ten to fifteen yards of play with with

321
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:03,960
his legs.

322
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,759
Speaker 2: Let's go, Steve, love it man. Great breakdown is always

323
00:19:08,759 --> 00:19:11,000
we gonna get you into an Odeon. We got choked

324
00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:14,240
