arthroprosivita dot com. Let's get into it. Chase Roberts postgame commentary, Chase,
what were the struggles in the passing game on Saturday?
Speaker 3: I just think we needed a big play to get
the momentum roll in. I feel like I left some
out there that I could have made a beat ball and.
Speaker 4: A couple others that just to get our offense rolling.
Speaker 3: You know, as a leader and as a veteran, you
want to step up and be the guy to get
the offense rolling. And I personally felt like I could
have done better in that regard and being able to
put Bear in better positions to throw the open open guys.
Speaker 1: I mean, ultimately what we need from Chase Roberts, And
it is a lot to ask. Chase Roberts wants to
be an NFL wide receiver. Chase Roberts needs to make
NFL receiver plays. Now, are we mad at Chase because
he dropped a few balls?
Speaker 2: He dropped the five yard hitch. Okay, bad ball.
Speaker 1: But it hit his hands that little skinny post where
it ended up being a pass breakup by the safety.
Speaker 2: You got his hands on it. Great play by the safety.
He was right there. Could he have made it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Probably should he have made it. It's in traffic. There
was a collision, not a big hit, but a hit. Nonetheless,
the fade route where he elevates, extends, gets his hands
on it, and it bounces off his hands. There are
three opportunities in which the ball's in Chase his hands
and he didn't make the play. If he wants to
be an NFL wide receiver, you got to make NFL
wide receiver plays. I'm not saying that is the standard
for Chase this year and that he's got to be
that guy in order for BA to win, But if
you want to be drafted, that's what you need to do.
That could have turned the tide a little bit. It
could have made it at least more competitive. If you
want to beat Texas Tech. At Texas Tech, you need
a number of things happen. Trey needs to get a pick,
Evan needs to get a pick. Parker can't fumble, can't
muff at punt return. Chase Roberts needs to make big
plays at big times in this in this setting, right
like go down the list, have missed opportunities and you
have to point to those and say all of you
guys needed to make those plays, all of you, And
that's okay. So that's that's kind of you know, my
thoughts on the receiving game, Chase is still wide receiver one.
I think you bring up a really good point. Is
he a wide receiver one or is he a complimentary
piece that needs a Kielan Marry and that needs a
Darius Lassiter, and I would say that he is more
of a complimentary piece than a true wide receiver one
at the P four level.
Speaker 2: That is my take.
Speaker 1: I still think he's a great, phenomenal wide receiver, one
of the best to come through Brigham.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about.
Speaker 1: It, okay, and but it's hard to be that true
wide receiver, one that can win in most situations. And
he does win like he's winning. It's just you also
had you had zone coverage that gotcha once. I do
think that Chase has probably dropped him balls this season,
though I think he's dropped too many balls for being
a senior wide receiver one like I expect maybe a
little bit more from him this year.
Speaker 2: Is that just.
Speaker 5: Because Bear isn't giving him good passes or there wobbly
or you think that's like majority of that is no
matter what it's on Chase.
Speaker 1: I think most wide receivers will say, if it hit
my hands, I gotta catch it. I think most I
think Chaser's gonna take accountability there.
Speaker 2: I think the other problem is Jojo.
Speaker 5: I don't really think is he's either not healthy enough
to give the Texas Tech defense any problems or if
he was healthy enough, he didn't do enough, And it
easily could be either one. And considering he's coming off
an injury, I'm not fully willing to say, well, Jojo
just didn't do enough. We don't know how healthy is.
We know he's in practicing for a while, but I
don't know that we can definitively say it's his fault.
Speaker 2: He didn't give the other guy's opportunities.
Speaker 5: I think last year what made Parker and Chase so
successful or have the opportunities for success, was Darius Lassiter.
Darius Lassiter causes a lot of problems for opposing defenses
that I think put Chase Roberts in a great position.
And I think right now, you really only have two
starting receivers and you don't have a third guy who
really pulls that much attention on defense, and I think
it's pretty easy for opposing defenses to just key in
on Parker and Chase.
Speaker 1: Look, Chase is probably on track this season, okay, to
go over one thousand yards. He's at six hundred and
fifty two right now, seventeen point two yards per reception.
He's got five touchdowns, thirty eight receptions. Okay, it's pretty good.
Like he's right there, he's knocking on the door, Okay,
with three games remaining in the regular season and you're
definitely going to a bowl game, So he's gonna eclipse.
I think I think he's right there. I think he
could eclipse one thousand yards. And there haven't been that
many BYU wide receivers to do that. Austin Cauley, okay,
Cody Hoffman, Okay, that was two thousand and eight. Austin Colly,
Cody Hoffman twenty twelve, Andy Boyce nineteen ninety, Reno Mahe
two thousand and one, Dax Milne twenty twenty, Eric Drage
nineteen ninety two, Margin Hooks nineteen ninety nine, Todd Watkins
two thousand and four. So there's been eight so far,
and that's it. That's your one thousand yard receiving list.
Like so, like when I say Chase is still one
of the best, yes in the modern era, you know
what I mean, Like he's one of the best all time?
Speaker 2: He is? He Like, he definitely is.
Speaker 1: Can you win on the biggest stage, It's hard to
do that, Like I say it, but like it's very
difficult to do such it just is versus the best
opponents when it's is a top five defense in the country,
maybe the defense of the country.
Speaker 2: So like, I'm not.
Speaker 1: Just throwing it out of there, like, oh yeah, he's
got to be an NFL watcher. I'm not putting this in.
I'm like, he wants to be an NFL watchers. He
wants to be that guy. I know for a fact
that he feels he should have caught all three of
those balls, no doubt. And if you want to win
those games, those are the type of players you're gonna
have to make.
Speaker 2: Period.
Speaker 5: And we're not just talking about a bau football team
who wants to go bowling. We're talking we we have
high criticism because right we have high criticism because we
believe this is a team of high standard. We believe
they're very quality, and this is a team who wants
to not only just you know, we want to be
in the top twenty five, we want to go to
a nice bowl game. No, this is a team who
wants to get in a playoff position to be competing
for a national championship. That's why we can have such
high criticism is because you have high expectations, and so
if we're just talking about making a Bowl game and
being in the top twenty five, then yeah, they they've
been playing awesome and they're exceptional and they're gonna hit
that goal.
Speaker 2: But their goals are higher than that.
Speaker 5: In order to get higher than that, you need to
play better than what you did on Saturday. And the
good news is they're probably if they do things right
and if they earn things the next.
Speaker 2: Couple weeks, they'll get that opportunity.
Speaker 1: Another question posed by Chase to Chase Roberts in the postgame,
Aaron Roderick last week had stated, this is the best
defense that they've faced since that Texas twenty twenty three
team that was a very good defense. Was this, in
your opinion, Chase Roberts, the best defense you faced since
that Texas game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're good. They're a good defense. I felt I
felt we left a lot out there though. I felt
like we matched up well and we just needed to
make place. Yeah, we failed to do so. We got
put in situations that we you know, kind of some
self inflicted wounds. So learn grow from it. Honestly, just
still grateful for the opportunity. Game day all glory to God,
and it was an amazing experience.
Speaker 4: Got to learn a lot from a loss. You learn
a lot from losses.
Speaker 3: So excited to go forward, and especially with the freshman
quarterback like Bear and the way he's been playing and
how much love we have for him, Like we got
a lot in store for the next few games and
however many games we play after that, and then for
Bears the rest of his career and YU football.
Speaker 4: Is gonna you know, we're starting to gain that respect
slowly the same. It's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, there you go that Chase Roberts to get
to number three. This part of the season, people start.
Speaker 2: Talking about the eye test.
Speaker 1: In that regard, how do you feel like you guys
performed versus that eye test today?
Speaker 3: I feel like we fast still, I felt like we
just so we're such a good team. It sucks when
we don't play play like that, So that sucks in
that regard. We know what we can do and we
know the type of team that we have, so going forward,
we don't care about the outside boys, we don't care
about the eye test. We just got to take and
take care of the next three games. And when we
do that and we're a one lost team. We're gonna
have an opportunity to play Texas Tech again and beat them.
Speaker 4: So, uh, that's that's what we gotta do.
Speaker 3: When you when you have critics out there that don't
respect BYU, then they don't know that. They haven't been
in our workouts, they haven't been, you know, in our practices.
They don't know what we do. Uh, So we got
to put it out on the field. We didn't do
that today. We gotta do that going forward so that
they can't say anything and we just win games.
Speaker 5: So so, Ben, being a former player and thinking about
this from the coaching perspective, the way Chase talks about
it is it is a certainty we are going to
win out. We're going to be a one lost team,
and we're going to get another shot at Tech. Skander
Wall did it, Kalte did it as well.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 5: How do you fit from being someone who's been in
the locker room and thinking kind of from the coaching perspective,
do you like that they are already thinking that far
ahead or would you prefer that they just come kind
of back to coach talk and just say, hey, we're
just focused on the next one.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: I think in the media effect is the immediate effective
is like, hey, it's okay. It's a coping Mexicanism, Like
we're gonna be back. We're gonna be in Arlington. Now
we got to move on to TCU in order to
get there. But we're gonna be back, and you have
to you know, there's there's a certain amount of like
internal belief and also like just just putting like it's
called The Secret, right. I don't know if you ever
watched the movie The Secret. I've ever watched the guys.
Speaker 2: Heard it? You guys.
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's a two thousand and six documentary, okay.
Speaker 2: And it's a it's kind of the law.
Speaker 1: It's the law of attraction, Okay, the belief that everything
one wants or needs can be satisfied by believing in
an outcome, repeatedly thinking about it, and maintaining positive emotional
states to attract the desired out would come.
Speaker 2: Okay. That's that's the law of attraction. The Secret. Okay, So.
Speaker 1: You have to envision it and then you you have
to go out and do the work, obviously, but you're
constantly positively like thinking about it and also communicating it.
Speaker 2: To the universe. Okay, and that's kialate Okay, Kalani the secret.
Speaker 1: I bet you if you asked him, like, hey, how
did you get the bo job, he may very much
say like, it's the secret, you know what I mean?
He could probably say that like, that's a Kialani thing.
So I love it. Now, you got to focus on
TCU though, But in the that immediate aftermath of a loss,
I think it's perfectly kosher to do such. You have
to have a belief in yourself and your belief in
your team. Now, number four, what gives you the confidence
this year that one loss won't turn into two?
Speaker 3: Chase Roberts, Yeah, I think you learn a lot from
mistakes last year. And I think think it was good
too for for a Bear and a young quarterback to
feel some defeat and what it's like to lose a game.
And we're gonna learn a lot from that. And I'm
excited to see how Bear bounces back and his fight
and his mentality as a quarterback. This is going to
be a moment for him to really establish who he
is as a quarterback and.
Speaker 4: What is the rest of his career is going to be.
Speaker 3: Like, So I'm excited to see how Bear handles it,
and we're gonna rally behind him. He's gonna lead us,
and we're gonna we're gonna roll into the next three games.
Speaker 1: We're pretty healthy all things considered. We played a very
good defensive game. We've had an elite special teams unit.
I imagine they're going to be back, bouncing back, and
the offense, I think it's going to be improved from
going against a top five defense, right like it always,
it gets a little bit easier, it's all. It's going
to be downhill from here. Tisu's good, Cincinnati's could they?
Are they as good as Tech Tech? No, No one's
as good as Texas Tech. So you've seen the best.
You've seen I think the two best teams in the
conference in Utah and Texas Tech. Now you're gonna see
the rest, and you've already seen to a certain degree
the rest.
Speaker 2: Is TCU better than Ioway Stay? Are they about the same? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You barely beat You beat Ioway stayed on the road.
You beat you of a on the row. That's a
three loss team that continues to find wayte win. That
was a good team. That was a good win at
their home So anyway, I feel good. I feel confident
that b what you can finish strong here in these
last three games. Now, Chase, are you hoping to see
this Texas Tech team again in a few weeks?
Speaker 4: Of course yeah.
Speaker 3: Now, you always want to play the best, and especially
when you feel like you left a lot out there.
So we're gonna meet him again, promise you that, and
we're gonna go beat.
Speaker 1: Him with the secret right, just just just putting it
forth to the universe. We're gonna see him again. We're
gonna see him again.
Speaker 5: So I've seen this movie a number of times because
growing up a Georgia fan, it all the method always was,
you can win as many games as you want, but
you have to see Alabama in that title game. And
most of my life was we saw Alabama in the
regular season and they beat us, and then we saw
them in the SEC Championship and they beat us again.
But I will tell you one of the sweetest moments
of my entire life was a couple of years ago
watching Georgia lose to Alabama, come back, beat him, and
then go win a national championship. Look, it sucks when
you have to come off this Texas Tech loss and
given all the hype that went into that game.
Speaker 2: But I will tell you the sweetness that comes.
Speaker 5: If BYU loses this game and wins in the Big
Twelve title that I'm telling you will be an all
time moment in your college football bou fand them if
they're able to do that, because that loss makes that
win so much sweeter, it makes the story so much better.
So I really hope that that is how the story goes,
because if it is, it'll make that loss all the
worth it.
Speaker 1: Keep manifesting, keep speaking it into an exist into existence,
and putting in the work as well every single day,
and maybe you'll end up in that in Arlington facing
Texas Tech again and this time coming out victorious.
Speaker 2: How would you compare? Even? But if BYU loses to Texas.
Speaker 1: Tech twice once in the regular season, once in the
in the in the Big Tour Championship game, they could.
Speaker 2: Get it at at large bid.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 5: So I just did the ESPN playoff predictor and I
went there and I said, Okay, I told the predictor
BYU wins out. So they win all three of their games,
they make the Big Twelve Title game, but they lose
what would happen. The ESPN Playoff Predictor says BYU still
has an eighty seven percent chance of making the college
football playoffs and they would probably get in as somewhere between.
Speaker 2: A ten to an eight seed.
Speaker 5: So it is still very possible for you to make
the playoffs if they lose to Texas Tech.
Speaker 2: And frankly, I don't.
Speaker 5: Even think because again, it doesn't really matter according to
the metrics if BYU wins that game or not, but
it matters to BYU and it matters to the heart.
Speaker 2: Of that football team.
Speaker 5: If they beat Texas Tech, they will be a fired
up and dangerous team once that playoff starts. Irrespective of
what it means of whether or not they'll get in,
they'll still probably get in, but I think it'll be
a completely different football team depending on whether or not
they win or lose.
Speaker 1: Let's get that out there for a silver lining for
kugarnation on social media, like, because that's a metric. ESPN
College Football Playoff Predictor, Like, the idealic situation is what like, hey,
you went out, you know. The realistic situation is you
probably lose that game. You're not gonna be favored in it.
You're gonna be in Texas, you know what I mean,
There's gonna be plenty of fans coming from Lubbock. You
hope BYU fans forty thousand strong come out to neutralize
it a bit.
Speaker 2: Both of them are called Jones At and T Stadium,
by the way, the one Jerry World and the stadium
that Texas Tech plays and are both called Jones and Stium.
Speaker 1: This one seats eighty thousand though, So that's why you hope,
like the fifty to fifty or deal right, you hope
your manifest you hope get there, but eighty percent chance
of getting a at large bid.
Speaker 2: Right that, and you go into the college football playoff.
That looks good.
Speaker 1: That boats well for BYU, especially with all the college
football cannibalism that is occurring everywhere else. Hopefully it's a
little bit more competitive in that big I think it'll
it'll matter the form of fashion.
Speaker 2: You got to keep it closer than twenty two.
Speaker 5: I think if BYU wins out, I think the way
the national media.
Speaker 2: Will see it is.
Speaker 5: Okay, well, we're not gonna hold it against you that
you made it to your conference champion and lost. And
one of the things I was telling Ronnie this this morning.
There was good news that we got last week in
the College Ball playoff rankings when they gave Notre Dame
the ranking that they did, because the only thing Notre
Dame has working against it is that they lost to
a now top ten team in Texas, A and m
and at the time a top ten team in Miami.
Speaker 2: And so what the committee is telling you is.
Speaker 5: Who you lose to if they're a top ten team
in our regard, that matters, And so yes, BYU has
one loss on their resume, and I think BYU fans
are hurting from it. But I think when you look
at it in the context of things, you say, every
game BYU's played, Dave.
Speaker 2: Won, whether it was at home, whether it was on
the road, no matter what it was, BYU won.
Speaker 5: The only game they lost was a top ten opponent,
and I think the committee.
Speaker 2: Will respect that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the scoring margin right has to matter too,
better than anybody else has had. Anybody else tech right,
And it was on the road, it was at at Loving,
And that's what I'm saying. That's my silver lining of
the day. I'm like, look, yeah, it felt like the
game at the end of it all was out of hand,
but like, you did better than everybody else besides Hu
Well on their home field versus their backup quarterback.
Speaker 2: This is the first time in six games at home
that TEXTA Tech did not score forty points.
Speaker 5: Six straight games of forty plus points in their home stadium.
Boah was the first one. It's not that again. It
still sucks that it's a loss, but there are silver
linings to take away from this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and all the Utah fans are like, you guys
were a fraud.
Speaker 1: It's like you guys lost by twenty four on your
home field. Like I know, you guys kept it close
for you know, three quarters, right, but it doesn't matter.
You got to play all four quarters ladies and gentlemen, right.
Speaker 2: We both lost and we actually beat you. So there
you go this, there you go.
Speaker 1: Last thing from Chase Roberts, how would you compare this
venue to others into Big twelve?
Speaker 3: Now we played We played in louder stadiums with more
noise and more chaos, so I don't think that was
a huge factor. It was definitely fun to be to
be out there at cool stadium, college game day all
that stuff, but ultimately just it's got to play our game.
Speaker 4: We weren't able to do that today.
Speaker 1: The atrocious, horrific stat of the day is Bau's now
zero to four all time.
Speaker 2: When college game day shows.
Speaker 5: Up, I hope that if Biliam makes a Big twelve title,
I hope the college game days at the SEC Championship
do not come to the Big twelve title in Dallas,
do not.
Speaker 1: I don't want game day anywhere near I don't either.
I want Big Newton kickoff all day every day. I
pray Rehys Davis never comes to Provo. I hope he
never comes to Utah.

always bringing the hammer by by side Ronald the three

commentary from Jack Kelly, Sack Kelly.
Speaker 2: Man, how good is Jack Kelly?
Speaker 1: Guys, Like, I mean, I know the star of the
show was Jacob Rodriguez. I know that, but I mean
not too far behind was Jack Kelly, the one man
riking crew, the jugger, Not Jack sack Kelly. What great
would you give Jack? I mean, how far? How far
off is he from being a Jacob Rodriguez. Now he's
not an I INT specialist. It seems like the body
control and playmaking ability through I in T's maybe is
in Rodriguez's quarter. But Jack Kelly's a phenomenal pass rusher
when given the opportunity, and I'd say probably a bit
better pass rusher than Rodriguez.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think he's definitely a better pass rusher than Rodriguez.
In fact, I think that is his superman's skill set.
Speaker 2: His superpower is rushing the passer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And frankly, I wish we were in a position
where we could just send him every play because there
were definitely And I hate to give any criticism to
the defense, because I think they played incredible lights out.
I think they played as good as they possibly could,
especially considering they got put in some short field situations
and came away only with field goals. But I wish
they could send Jack Kelly every play because I think
he is such an elite pass rusher and I think
even some of the sacks that he did get it
was really because Baron Morton left the pocket in positions
where I don't think necessarily Baron Morton needed to. But
as soon as he left the pocket. Jack Kelly was
on him really fast, and so I think if if
you could get to a position where you could send
him more often this Billiard pass rush would I think
be that much better.
Speaker 1: As far as he his stat total seven total tackles,
five solo, two sacks, two TFLs obviously, one pass breakup,
one quarterback hurry.
Speaker 2: So pretty good, pretty gosh.
Speaker 1: Dang good all things considered for Jack the Juggernaut Sack Kelly.
Speaker 2: Do you like Juggernaut or Sack Kelly better? Which one?
No Juggernaut for sure.
Speaker 5: Ever since he said that and then I did the
chat GBT, I can't like when I see him run
he looks like the Juggernaut because it was just like this,
top heavy, just massive individual, just shoulders moving like this,
a little bit stiff. But he's so fast that it
doesn't matter. He could do whatever he wants. He'll get there.
Speaker 2: I see the Juggernaut every time we run.
Speaker 8: Suit.
Speaker 1: I agree, like I realized it when he was running
like dang dang, he runs like the Juggernaut man, just
running through people.
Speaker 2: He flat backed that poor running back.
Speaker 1: I can't remember who it was, but he flat blacked
him early on in that game, just that that dude
that running back wanted nothing to do with Jack in
that age flat and just destroyed a nyeld. All right,

Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: This was Jack Kelly in the postgame discussing his performance
and the performance of his teammates. Let's get into He's
never really overly I would say he's not willing to
like pontificate a whole lot. But you know, short winded
if you will, what did you see early on that
allows you to tally those two sacks?
Speaker 8: I think it was just great play.
Speaker 4: Following by Coach Hill.
Speaker 8: We worked on a bunch of different ways we could
use certain blitzes and it happened to show up in
the moment and h seeing what I liked and seeing
what we practiced throughout the weekend, I was able to
come away with.
Speaker 1: Us Jay Hill queuing up those ex blitzes where you
bring the two inside linebackers they cross, You see a
little bit of a stunt from the defensive front and
you chriss cross into the a gaps and Jack and Isaiah.
Speaker 2: They got after it.
Speaker 1: And that is something that that offensive lines, quarterbacks and
running backs do not like to see those two guys
bearing down on you. Now, Jack, what can you guys
build off of from this performance?
Speaker 8: Yeah? I think just continue to trust each other, continue
to build the relationships we have, continue to get better.
There's a lot of stuff that we left out there
on the on the field of that we know that
we need to improve on. So yeah, I think continue
to build off of this and continue to lead and
want to make place.
Speaker 2: Just keep on doing what you're doing.
Speaker 1: What's got you here is the super the souper deserter,
if I'm meant to put it out there on the
menu now, Jack. A lot was made about the physicality
of this game. Describe how physical this game was.
Speaker 6: I think it was definitely physical.
Speaker 8: The on line did a great job, and running backs
were great.
Speaker 4: Tight ends were great as well.
Speaker 8: So it was a great matchup and it was fun
to go against them.
Speaker 1: But obviously not that come you want is the outcome,
indeed that any of us wanted.
Speaker 2: Number four is one of the leaders.
Speaker 1: How do you make sure this doesn't spiral that you
guys can stay on track.
Speaker 8: I think just focus on the moment. We know what
we need to get better, and we're going to watch
the film. We're going to see the corrections. We've got
to take that into next week and focus on TCU.
They're going to be a good team that's coming to us,
and we've got to have our a game for them.
Speaker 1: How is TCU fared over the last few weeks right?
If you look at the their their performance on the
back end of their schedule, Look, they've had their ups
and downs this season, no doubt, but that's a good
football team with a tremendous amount of talent.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: They start off the season strong forty eight to fourteen
versus the tar Heels. They had a bye week and then
they destroyed Abilene Christian forty two to twenty one. They
beat SMU earlier this season at Amageing Quarter Stadium. That
was at home, thirty five to twenty four. And we've
seen SMU come on strong recently. They lost to ASU
in Temp twenty seven to twenty four. That same ASU
team at home knocked off Texas Tech, the best team
in the conference. They beat up on Colorado at home
in Fort Worth thirty five to twenty one, a two
score victory.
Speaker 2: BUYU by the skin of their teeth.
Speaker 1: Beat Colorado by three around that same time, just a
few weeks prior to that. Okay, guys, so you know,
pretty impressive work so far. Nice body of work. They
lost to Kansas State at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan,
forty one twenty eight. That's a close game, though. That's
a close one, okay. That is not an obliteration by
any means. They beat Baylor forty two to thirty six
at home, and then they beat an improving I would
say West Virginia Mountaineers team at West Virginia twenty three seventeen.
They got a bye week, and then they took on
Iowa State at home this past week and lost to
them twenty to seventeen. Close game. TCU has the ability
to beat BYU. Guys, this is also going to be
a very difficult game, not an easy one. It could
be a close one, like the rest of our Big
twelve in conference games have been.
Speaker 2: Outside of Texas Tech, I think, if you have.
Speaker 5: To equivocate, how good is this TCU team, I think
they're probably as good as Arizona, and I think that
the matchup in terms of the scoring and kind of
this thing coming down to the wire, I think it'll
be probably pretty similar to how Arizona played you, where
you know, BOU is the better team than TCU, but
TCU was good enough and can do enough things. Josh
Hoover can make enough things happen that they are dangerous
and they will be able to compete with you at
Lavell Edward Stadium. What I hope is all that goes
out the window and we see a BYU team that
is angry, fired up, and just plays with reckless abandon.
I hope, Honestly, I know this is wishful thinking, but
I do hope that we almost get like what Utah
did to Colorado, where it was just reckless abandon and
they put it on the Buffaloes because.
Speaker 2: They were angry. I hope we see some of that fire.
Speaker 5: From this bou football team against TCU at home on Saturday.
If Cincinnati is a close one, that's fine, that's cool.
Cincinnati is a good football team. But I hope you're
coming home to Lavelle Edward Stadium saying TCU, we don't
care how good you are. We don't care you're only
a three loss seam. We are angry about what happened
a week ago, and we have to take that anger
out on somebody. Unfortunately, it's got to be the horn Frogs.
Speaker 2: Crazy times.
Speaker 1: You gotta prep, gotta get ready, Jack Kelly disgusted in
the post game. Last thing from Jack Kelly, Sack Kelly,
the Juggernaut, How do you feel health wise after the
bye week?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: For sure.
Speaker 8: The bye week was great. Helped my legs get right too.
Everything that was kind of just nicking that banged up
a little bit, So Bye week was great and continue
to build on this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could tell from a lower body standpoint, from
an explosivity standpoint, from a speed standpoint, Juggernaut was moving.
Speaker 2: The Juggernaut was cruising his ability to.
Speaker 1: Run stride for stride with a Texas Tech running back
that probably is a legitimate four to five maybe four
to four guy, and in tally a pass breakup on
the shodeline is just made him some money.
Speaker 2: Okay, made him some money.
Speaker 1: Now, he doesn't look super duper fluid in his transitions
from pressman into running hip.
Speaker 2: To hips stride for stride, but the Juggernaut.
Speaker 1: Got in the way and made a fantastic play. Loved it,
fantastic made him a little bit of money showcasing that
top end speed. Yeah, it definitely didn't look super sexy
or super pretty in the way that he got down there.
But the point is that he got there, his body
was there, and he was in the way and he
broke up what could have been a big momentum.
Speaker 2: Shifter there early in the game.

Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So Boa basketball defeats Holy Cross ninety eight to fifty three.
They covered the thirty eight and a half point spread.
Speaker 2: It was nice. A J.
Speaker 1: Debonsa had like what seventeen in twenty four minutes, And
Kevin stated in the post game, any time we compete
against somebody else at this point of the season, it
feels good because it's hard to learn about our group
when we're just playing against each other. I think the
big takeaway is trying to learn and see areas that
we need to improve on. I thought our defense was
really good and offensively we had our moment. So senior
Richie Saunders was instrumental in Bay's fast start, scoring ten
of his team's twenty points in the opening six minutes,
extending his double digit scoring streak to a career high
fourteen games. The Riverton native went seven of ten from
the field and two to four from the three point
line and four or five from the charity stripe. Not
anybody else wily shot the three point ball that well.
They were under thirty percent from the three point line,
I think twenty nine, So don't need to improve upon
that going into Big twelve play. But this is essentially
your non conference where you kind of learn a little
bit more about you yourself. Rob right at fifteen, Cannard
Davis junior at twelve, Dawson the bucket gear Baker was
cooking up twelve. They all scored in double digits, and
it was the first time the Coruger has had five
players scoring double digits since he always win over Utah.
In March eighth, twenty twenty five, Rencherd freshman Dominique Diomande
scored nine in his collegiate debut, including a pair of
rim rattling dunks show to casing his athleticism.
Speaker 2: Alexi Kostik also scored.
Speaker 1: His first points of his college career, finishing with five
points on two to four from the field.
Speaker 2: So let's get into it.
Speaker 1: Let's see what kay Why had to say about these
players and their individual performances.
Speaker 9: Tyson is an off season mode, Still get him.
Speaker 6: The objectives bring into a game.
Speaker 10: I like going over as opposed to maybe over match
team if you're face a couple of times in the series.
Speaker 9: I think early in the season, yes, because you're still
trying to make it about you. You know, it's more
about what you're trying to do. Obviously, when you're when
you're going to getst a team, there's certain things you're
trying to take away. But I think on the whole,
it's more about us trying to establish the identity of
this team, particularly on the defensive end of the flour,
which I thought we did a good job in both
games of that.
Speaker 6: Over the goals specific for n game that accomplished.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, the Nugent is a.
Speaker 9: Really good player. I thought we we kind of wiped
him out honestly. I mean, he's a guy that shot.
Speaker 4: Seven threes a game last year at forty three percent.
Speaker 9: I mean that put him in the ninety some percentile
in the country, and so we keep it on him,
not even just to try to make his shots contest,
just not even let him get threes off, which we
did a good job if you only got three.
Speaker 4: Of them off.
Speaker 9: So there was a couple other game plan specific things
I thought we did a good job of. But you know,
we've been all over these guys about communicating and talking
to each other, and I thought there was a lot
of carryover with that.
Speaker 2: Any conserve about offensive revins by the other team, he
had a little bit of an issue.
Speaker 8: I realized tonight you didn't have an effect on the outcome,
but they did have some.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, yes, definitely. I mean something that we're
talking to the coaches about quite a bit. I mean,
they missed what nineteen three so a lot of those
are coming off like crazy misses, So there's gonna be
a lot of opportunity. I'm not smart enough to do
the offensive rebounding percentage based on how many misses there was,
but it's definitely an air we need to clean up
and be better with you know, as we as we
start playing, you know, more athletic and bigger team, especially
if you forecast to the Yukon thing. I mean, that's
something that they do, you know, that they do well.
So we'll have to get that addressed.
Speaker 6: Richie go out to a hot start, just him trying
to make up a lost of time after it was
so ill.
Speaker 9: I mean, I just think that's who we all know,
That's who rich he is. You know, I said to
him when we were walking out of the locker room,
he just he looked like him, you know, And so
I think he's just been trying to find his footing
with these new teammates. And obviously the health going into
the last game was not great. So you know, I
honestly have not worried one iota about him. He's a
great player and he's gonna be great for us this year.
And tonight was definitely a well I think for me
what I expected to play like.
Speaker 6: Pu's your goal as far as threes go, makes and kinks.
Speaker 9: I think I don't have one, because I think it
depends on how you're getting guarded. We saw this last year,
you know, we came out and we we established that
we were gonna space the floor and we were gonna
try to get a lot of threes up, and then
teams started try to guard the three point line. The
last year sometimes it was effective because we didn't have
that many downhill attackers this year. You saw the Nova game,
you know, watching the film, they're literally face guarding two
guys at the three point line. Why AJ just goes
down the middle of lane and dunks right, And so
I think it's a pick your poison type thing. I
think as a you know, obviously we're playing a lot
of guys right now. I think when our rotation starts
to tighten up, you know, we'll we'll have some potent
shooting out there, combined with the downhill threats of AJ
and and Robin obviously Kvas you know, rim pressure with
his roles and so forth. So I think it's it's
gonna be a pick your poison thing, and we'll have
to see how teams are trying to guard us. That
being said, you know, it's in my nature to try
to get up a lot of threes, but not not
at the cost of taking you know, not not taking
rim shots if they're there.
Speaker 8: Henson Pickings out for the season before the game get
reaction to losing him.
Speaker 6: But I actually seen him play.
Speaker 4: Yeah, unfortunately.
Speaker 9: You know, he's a guy we brought here for a
reason because he can He fits with this particular group
really well, because he can shoot and guard and.
Speaker 4: So, you know, be a it'll be a big miss
for us.
Speaker 9: He was one of our you know, main kind of
portal targets of a guy that that helps compliment the stars.
So it'll it'll open up the door for some other people.
You know, I thought, you know, Dominique Diomande came in
a night in that space and thought he you know,
opened the game up a little bit. Obviously his athleticism
was on full display, and so it'll just kind of
open up the door for for other guys. But obviously
we wish Nate well and look forward to kind of
helping him, you know, rehab.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, all right, so Nate Pickens, how big
of a loss is this? The six foot three senior
out of originally Almeraja Arizona attended UC Riverside. He's, uh,
he's been pretty good there at UC Riverside. Spent three
seasons there, appearing in ninety seven games. For the Highlanders,
average seven point two points per game, shooting thirty seven
point two percent from the field, thirty five point three
percent from three to seventy four point four percent from
the charity stripe. Appeared in thirty three games, including thirty
one starts as a junior in twenty twenty four twenty
twenty five, including an eighteen point performance against BA on
November eighth. And it kind of seemed like in the portal,
poor experience for BYU, they took players that played really
well against them.
Speaker 2: Tyler Muss, Tyler ross Sins.
Speaker 1: They pickings are like, oh my us, this guy would
be fantastic to pick up, and they did.
Speaker 2: They got him in the portal.
Speaker 1: Over his career though, he's been pretty gosh thing good,
and you imagine he was gonna be good for the coops.
Speaker 2: This is a big loss in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Ronald, your thoughts, your takeaways from the bad news coming.
Speaker 2: Out of brig up.
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely been definitely a big loss.
Speaker 10: Look, I mean the coach, Kevin Young just said himself,
and they want to go get this guy.
Speaker 6: Look look at the roster who's supposed.
Speaker 10: To be playing point guard coming off the bench after
Rob goes down, it's Nate Pickens. He's supposed to come
in and play ten to fifteen minutes a game, depending
how it works out in the matchup's been and you
don't have that now we don't know what the injury is,
but out for the season. So something that is not
gonna allow him to play, And yeah, it's a big loss.
It's a guy that not just offensively, I think a
lot of people are looking at the talent no defensively been.
This was a guy that was supposed to take the
Tray Stewart point guard minutes, to be at a lock
of guy up and be physical from the point of attack.
Speaker 6: When you talk about perimeter defense.
Speaker 10: This is the guy that was supposed to be able
to take the other teams back up point guard and
neutralizing when you think of playing Houston and Baylor, you're.
Speaker 6: Not gonna have that. Now.
Speaker 10: That's just gonna be tough because look, when you want
run the second unit maybe with Rob. Now Dawson's in
that role, and I'm gonna be honest, there might be
a little bit of a liability with Dawson and Rob
out that together, you know. So this is definitely a
big loss in my opinion, they're gonna have to now maneuver,
but not having Nate Pickens is definitely gonna hurt them,
especially what they want to do defensively from the perimeter.
Speaker 2: Do you think that Dawson is gonna be your point
guard too?
Speaker 6: Then yeah, I think you have to.
Speaker 10: I mean when you look at what AJ will do,
AJ will demand the ball a little bit more. But
when you send AJ and Richie to the bench, and
you saw that on Saturday and Rob is in the game,
you need still another ball handler. You need someone else
that can go create their own shot. And Nate was
that guy. But now that he's not there, it's Rob.
Like when you have My high Love, when you have Rob,
when you have Dawson come in in that second unit, Look,
he's gonna have to do it, whether he wants to
or not. I still believe Dawson Bicker can be the
sixth Man of the Year Big twelve. I think his
skills set just fits that. When you think of a
guy that's so silky smooth. If you watch him on Saturday,
he can absorb contact, he can play around with it
like Dawson is just a straight bucket. But I think
it also is gonna He's gonna benefit though, having guys
like Rob and h with the ball in their hand.
Speaker 6: I think it will help him.
Speaker 10: But yeah, it's gonna have to be Dawson now, whether
he wanted to or not, I think he'll be at
a step up into that role.
Speaker 2: Sometimes that I get a little bit concerned.
Speaker 5: I think Dawson, to your point, is great about going
and finding his own shot and creating his own shot.
But there there were a couple of times the Villanova game,
not as much in the Holy Crossing game. But sometimes
I get a little worried with Dawson that he's hunting
his own shot so much that he puts himself in
spacing issues or picks up the dribble, and then by
the time he's done, he's.
Speaker 2: Used up so much of the clock.
Speaker 5: So I just worry a little bit about him being
a distributor if he has to be your backup point guard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why he's a black hole man. He ain't
passing getting shot off, babe.
Speaker 10: Well that's why I said, if you go look at
the game. When I was watching, I was watching very
intently of Kevin Young. Put him on the floor with Rob.
Dawson has to play off ball and be the second
ball handler with someone that's to being the dominant one.
Speaker 6: And that's where I think his skill set was showcases.
Speaker 10: Someone draws the attention, he can fit go on on
one slash to the basket or cut and make a move.
If he has to go distribute, I think that's a
lot of pressure. But I think if you put him
on the floor with a Richie or Rob and someone
else has drawing the attention and setting him up and
then he go gets a shot, I think that's better.
But to run it that might not work so well.
But look, Kevin Young, genius, he comes, he's the best.
He was the best coach been last season of drawing
up plays out of timeouts, there was no coach better.
Speaker 6: He'll I think we'll continue to do so.
Speaker 10: So look as long as Kevin Young as the head
coach and that staff is all together, I have full
confidence that they'll figure it out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just I worry a little bit about when
Rob's not on the floor and somebody else has to
run and facilitate the offense. And again he's capable of it,
but what happens when you're a scenario? So you're gonna
have it where you have to have Aj or Rob
on the floor at all times. Like I think you're
going to have scenarios where both those guys may not
be on the floor at the exact same time. Somebody's
got to run the offense. And without Nate Pickens. I'm
not saying they can't do it.
Speaker 2: I just have the question of who's going to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I feel look ro Or Dawson is
it is not a traditional distributing point guard.
Speaker 2: He's never been that.
Speaker 1: He's always been a scoring guard that can every once
in a while pass the ball. Is he a catch
and shoot off ball shooting guard?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: I mean I think when he gets said, I think
when he gets set and squared, he looks good and
you know, can can definitely hit a three or two.
You need someone out there to hit some corner threes,
you know. Is it gonna be Canard Davis Junior sitting
there in the corner or will it be you know
with AJ at point? I mean, anyone like I can
be sitting in the corner and AJ is gonna draw
multiple defenders. He did it versus Villanova, He'll do it
against everybody. That's why you have him as your backup
point guard because he draws multiple defenders. And Rob Wright
similar to just a little bit different because he's a
freaking mongoose out there. He's so freaking quick. He is
so quick, and so look, Ronald Brett. We could have
Ronald Brett and myself out there just spacing and AJ
can just go and do some stuff and then we
can just sit there just and we're probably gonna get
a semi good look with AJ running point, is all
I'm saying. If he wants to pass, he may want
to double clutch triple team and try to finish, but
one of.
Speaker 2: Us may be open and he could probably find this.
Speaker 5: I hate to be the Debbie downer here, but I
do have to be realistic about something. I know we're
only two games into the season, so Ron you may
feel the need to tell me to just pipe down,
and I'm telling you that's valid.
Speaker 2: But at what point you brought up the three pointers?
Speaker 5: Man? At what point are we like a little bit
concerned Because I've divulged this a couple of times. BYU
is returning one of their top five three point shooters
last year, and that's Richie Saunders, and now you're sitting
in a situation where two games into the season, I
get one of them against Villanova, but the other one
against holy Cross, and you're sitting at twenty eight point
six percent from the three point line on the season.
And Kevin Young just made a very valid argument as
to why that could possibly be because maybe guys are
trying to run you off the three point line. And
this was a BAU team to put up over one
hundred against holy Cross, So I get it. But I
guess my question is, at what point are we allowed
to say, hey, I'm a little bit concerned, especially given
that you're not returning a lot of three point production
last year and you haven't hit the shots so far
through these two games.
Speaker 2: And you didn't need to.
Speaker 5: But like, at what point do we get to say, Okay, hey,
I need to see it now?
Speaker 6: I think two weeks in a conference play.
Speaker 10: I mean, look, non conference, they're not really going to
play anybody you and then you got the Terry's Chocolate
where they'll play Miami, and then obviously they're gonna play Clemson,
so that will give.
Speaker 6: Us some that will give us a little bit of data.
Speaker 10: But obviously I'm gonna say you know January eighteenth, right
around MLK, so Mlkday, the nineteenth of January, I'm gonna
have an answer for you. I just think with these
teams that are not really formidable and not as athletic
as Kevin Young's somewhat mentioned in the beginning of this
post game, I just don't think you can really have
the data points to say that because Arizona's gonna guard
you differently. So I think two weeks inint January we
can make that decision about Okay, this team is struggling
at shooting threes.
Speaker 6: It's not just yet.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but don't you think you could make the opposite
argument and say holy Cross should be the team that
you should be able to hit those against.
Speaker 10: You can make that, and then if they go do
it and then they can't do it against Yukon, it
is like, okay, so you can't shoot the basketball against
good teams. It's like and the reason why I say, Wade,
it's like, all right, well, what if they shoot well
against Dela Water molw and then they go shoot well
against Yukon.
Speaker 6: I don't think that's enough.
Speaker 10: That's I think after the supplement amount of games, I
think January would tell us, Kay, you didn't do it
in non conference, you're not doing getting conference. I've seen
enough data points now where now I can declare that
you're not a good three point shooting team, and I'll
give you a hot take.
Speaker 6: I think this team is gonna struggle at making threes.
I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 10: I don't think Richie Samers will because I just think
Rob and aj are so dynamic at getting downhill.
Speaker 6: I think their skill set as well. They're gonna put
the ball in the basket.
Speaker 10: They're gonna get a lot of am ones and baptized,
maybe a couple of people. I don't think this team
strength is gonna be from the three point line. And look,
if we're gonna be honest, if you want to ask
about winning a national championship or getting there, yeah, you
have to shoot the three somea well, but look at
all the other teams that got there.
Speaker 6: Like the points in the paint matter. You have to
be able to get to the rim.
Speaker 10: You have to have good guard play, and they have
that now and they haven't had that in the past.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm by no means saying the sky is falling
two games into the season.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, I.
Speaker 5: Know you're not returning production, and I just want to
see it and I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 2: Not that we can't see it, but I haven't seen
it yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not too concerned about three point inefficiency thus far.
