Speaker 3: Utah Dodd, com Kalate Shiitake, head coach b Yu Cougar Football.

49
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:10,879
Speaker 2: Uh, in the second quarter.

50
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 3: This is a bit of a controversy, right, they were

51
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:15,280
trying to look the game got out of hand.

52
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,039
Speaker 2: People want to talk about the fake punt.

53
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:18,879
Speaker 3: They were just trying to create a spark because the

54
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,879
offense could not move the football. They only had two

55
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,120
hundred yards of total offense in the second quarter. You

56
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,960
went for the fake punt? What went into that decision?

57
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,919
In your own territory, Dodd is going to be a

58
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,360
good play. I mean that that's uh, give credit to them.

59
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,159
They had one player that that sniffed it out. And uh,

60
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:38,400
I mean we were aggressive, tried different things.

61
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:39,719
Speaker 4: I like it.

62
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,199
Speaker 5: I told K Pop and I told our coaches don't

63
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,800
practice something and we're not going to call it in

64
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,400
the game, and we called it. It didn't work. And

65
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:49,560
then I think we forced the missfield goal. So no harm,

66
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:53,719
no foul. We're good. I like being bold and aggressive

67
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,800
and usually that the fortune will go our way. But

68
00:02:57,039 --> 00:02:59,280
you have to give them credit. They they made a

69
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,360
credible amount of plays and force some turnovers. And we

70
00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:05,560
have a tough team. Man but they they were really

71
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,039
aggressive and they made some big time plays and big

72
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,560
time the big time stops.

73
00:03:10,039 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 6: So it's hard for us to advance.

74
00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:15,479
Speaker 5: The ball when when we're you knownot converting third downs,

75
00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:17,560
over putting ourselves in third and long, you know, And

76
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:20,159
that's hard against this team. And and then we didn't

77
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:23,039
convert a couple of fourth downs and they know. And

78
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,360
obviously the turnovers, but proud of the way our guys,

79
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,759
our guys played in the way they fought.

80
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: Look, yeah, we ideally we wouldn't. We don't want to

81
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,960
be in that situation. W we're trying to convert on

82
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,479
fake punch and you don't want to go to the

83
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:39,960
short side of the field, uh, but rather to the

84
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,120
field or to the field side where there's more space.

85
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: I agree with Colonie.

86
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,719
Speaker 3: Look like the offense wasn't going to be capable of

87
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:50,759
winning this on their own. We needed a special team

88
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,759
touchdown or a defensive touchdown to beat Texas Tech. And

89
00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:56,680
that's why. Look, we're not going to win through the

90
00:03:56,719 --> 00:04:01,319
air just having Bear just sling it. He's a good too,

91
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,879
above average, I would say, arm talent, Like he's not

92
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:08,719
gonna just destroy you through the air. We have been

93
00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:10,960
built off of the run game and play action game

94
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,520
this season, and we pepper in a few a few

95
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,959
tempo possessions and some throw game with that, some quick game.

96
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,600
That's who we are. And I think we know who

97
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,319
we are. I think the coaches know there.

98
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: Now. I'm not saying they don't need to be better.

99
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: I'm not saying they don't need to have better play calls,

100
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,639
and I'm not saying they don't need to have better strategy.

101
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,879
But Kalanie was just looking for a spark and and

102
00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:35,720
you know, you know how Colone rolls, you know how

103
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:36,680
aggress is gonna get.

104
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: But that wouldn't have mattered anyway.

105
00:04:37,959 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: We no no harm nor fality said because no field

106
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,120
goal was was made on.

107
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: That short field. It could have got ugly, it didn't.

108
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:50,199
Speaker 3: Are you concerned, though, on by side of the ball kicking,

109
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,480
are you concerned about Will Fahren and the amount of

110
00:04:52,519 --> 00:04:53,519
mississ he's had lately.

111
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,879
Speaker 5: I mean no, there's there's a bunch of different areas

112
00:04:57,879 --> 00:04:59,759
of go into kicking the ball. I wish they could

113
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:01,680
just kick it, you know, and put it on their

114
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:04,199
tee kick it, But there's a there's a snap, a hole,

115
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,839
the protection that goes into it, and and the nerves,

116
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,240
And so I think it's easy for us to criticize

117
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,920
the kickers. I've seen some amazing kickers in the Big

118
00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:17,680
Twelve missed field goals and on both sides. That happened today,

119
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,240
you know, so, But I think the environment can play

120
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,720
into that. And we just we trust him. So he's

121
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:26,120
won games for us, and he's gonna be our guy.

122
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,279
We just got to get him ready for the next one.

123
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:30,160
But there's a lot of different parts that go into.

124
00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:32,959
Speaker 3: It, a lot of different parts that go into it,

125
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,199
no doubt about it. He's not going to call it

126
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,639
anyone call it any one person. It could be the

127
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,519
long snapper, could be the holder, it could be the

128
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,040
additional protection. Uh, it could be the kicker himself, it

129
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,639
could be the nerves. Right, He's given all those the

130
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,240
pie chart of accountability, all the slices, some some credit

131
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,720
here depending on the particular kick, because it's not just

132
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,680
Will uh.

133
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,639
Speaker 2: And that's what he's saying.

134
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,079
Speaker 3: There's been times in which Will has missed field goals

135
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:02,360
and it wasn't necessary his fault because maybe the snap

136
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,040
was bad, or maybe the hold was bad, or maybe

137
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,040
the protection was bad.

138
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,399
Speaker 2: And he had to rush his mechanics, So you can

139
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:09,240
take it or leave it.

140
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 3: I wouldn't put it all on well though, Klaana, you

141
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:13,879
said lessons were learning against the best team of the country.

142
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,639
Speaker 2: What lessons were learned the second time?

143
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:19,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought, I mean the game felt different than

144
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,639
the first one. Let's let's let's be honest. The first

145
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:24,920
one was really hard. This one, I thought we were

146
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,319
competitive and we're in it, and then the turnovers started

147
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:30,240
happening towards the end, and then it just got away

148
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,399
from us. But you know, we could do a lot

149
00:06:34,399 --> 00:06:36,879
of things differently. I liked that we were physical. I mean,

150
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,319
they they they couldn't just run the ball up on

151
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,240
us inside, and so we were physical up front on

152
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:46,000
both sides. I thought they they tackled really well and

153
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,720
obviously forced some fumbles. I mean they forced a couple

154
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,720
of fumbles and had a couple of interceptions, and I

155
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,000
think that was the difference in.

156
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,959
Speaker 4: What could have happened.

157
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,399
Speaker 5: I felt like we held it to a one score,

158
00:06:57,439 --> 00:06:59,120
two score game for a while, and then all of

159
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,360
a sudden, the the negative things started to happen, and

160
00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:06,920
they it just got away from us. But you know, listen,

161
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:08,800
this is a really really good team. Now they're the

162
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,920
best team in the country. I wish more people would

163
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:11,480
be saying that.

164
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: I was really hoping that BYU's first half effort versus

165
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:21,519
texastaff would have been recognized by the Committee, like, Hey,

166
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,600
that BYU football team looked really good against Texas Tech

167
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:26,480
in the first half.

168
00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:30,519
Speaker 2: Didn't happen? Right seven to thirteen.

169
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,639
Speaker 3: We played the Red Raiders pretty gosh dang well in

170
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:35,439
that first half.

171
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:38,959
Speaker 2: Committee, what do you think of it? It just reminds

172
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,680
me of.

173
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,399
Speaker 3: Of the Committee and Hunter Yurichik talking about like Alabama

174
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,759
we knew. As Dave Portnoy points out, this is when

175
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,519
you knew ESPN and the SEC had it rigged for

176
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,839
Bama no matter what. When they made it sound like

177
00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:57,879
Bama escaping Auburn was so bad this year that they

178
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,279
fired their coach was like beating the eighty five I've

179
00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:04,560
nineteen eighty five Chicago Bears. They looked really good in

180
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,399
the first half. As such a hilarious line, I'm gonna

181
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:09,120
send this over to you just so you guys can

182
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:09,879
listen to it.

183
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:11,639
Speaker 2: Ronald the three man weaver look.

184
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: BYU played Texas Tech extremely well. If that first half

185
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,319
but the committee was not not seeing I guess what

186
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:24,560
we were seeing. Unfortunately, we'll play that here momentarily. But

187
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,560
this is when you knew Bama was not gonna be ousted.

188
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:26,839
Speaker 2: Guys.

189
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 3: Remember Bama was ousted last year and they went kicking

190
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:32,440
and screaming and there was all manner of whaling and

191
00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:35,960
nashing of teeth. This year, the SEC is well taken

192
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,559
care of ESPN took care of them because they apparently

193
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,799
didn't take care of him last year. Okay, so this

194
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:47,679
is a hunter Yurachek discussing the Alabama Auburn game and

195
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,279
why you know, Bama just looked really good in that

196
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:51,919
first half.

197
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 7: Apparently a Notre Dame went on the road, had a

198
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,120
strong win at Stanford, but Alabama went on the road

199
00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:01,559
and a rivalry gain looked really good.

200
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 4: Especially in the first half.

201
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:05,919
Speaker 7: Getting up seventeen to nothing, ran the ball well, Auburn

202
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,840
came back at him. They had a great gutsy call

203
00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:10,879
on fourth and two late in the third quarter to

204
00:09:10,879 --> 00:09:13,519
get a touchdown, and then got the turnover late in

205
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:16,200
that game, and I think that was enough to change

206
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,399
the minds of a couple of committee members to push

207
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,320
Alabama up ahead.

208
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: Of Notre Dame in this week's rankings.

209
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: This the first half just got up looked really good

210
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,320
in that first half.

211
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: A rivalry game, a rivalry game, and just a gritty

212
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:34,480
performance from that Auburn team that had fired their coach

213
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:38,039
earlier in the year, didn't get to a bowl game anyway.

214
00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: It is what it is.

215
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,919
Speaker 3: I was hoping for more from BYU in the second half,

216
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,679
but they showed well in that first half. Unfortunately the

217
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,159
committee didn't take notice. Let's get back to a couple

218
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,679
of last soundbites from Pilate. How do you feel about

219
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,240
the overall preparation going into this game? Plotate, was anything

220
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,360
lacking coming into this bye week? No.

221
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,759
Speaker 5: I thought we started off fast and then with a

222
00:09:59,759 --> 00:10:01,600
lot of energy, and we got the lead early, you know,

223
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,159
and I like the way the guys, I mean, their

224
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,399
mindset was good. We're physical right right away and went

225
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,879
into halftime with the score being thirteen to seven, and

226
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,039
it still felt good about where we're at. And that

227
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,360
first drive coming out, I think we you know, missed

228
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,440
the field goal and had a good drive. Just the

229
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,519
stuff that we did is really hard to do against

230
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,200
this team, and we just made too many mistakes. You

231
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:26,960
got to you have to capitalize, you have to convert

232
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:29,480
third downs and term of the first downs, and then

233
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:31,120
when you have your moments for points, you just have

234
00:10:31,159 --> 00:10:33,919
to make them. And that's just otherwise this team will

235
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,279
figure out a way to just they'll just squeeze it

236
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:39,759
out of you, man. And that's what championship teams do.

237
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,080
That's why they deserve to win the Big Twelve championship.

238
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:44,559
And so you know, we've got to learn from all

239
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,120
these things. But they just beat us a different way

240
00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:50,039
than they did the first time. But it was really cool,

241
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:51,799
like I said, as an honor for us to be here.

242
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,120
But that can't just be the only reason. You know,

243
00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:56,480
We've got to learn from this and build on it

244
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,480
and be a lot like them. I think they put

245
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:00,399
a lot of pressure on teams to make me stakes

246
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,279
and maybe stress them a little bit. And that's just

247
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,480
great coaching and great veteran leadership on their on their part.

248
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 3: Sorry I said bye week, but it was just this week.

249
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,879
But yeah, look the preparation was there, techa. Sextus a

250
00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:17,279
better football team, more talented, well resourced team.

251
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: And look, you can even make an argument, hey are

252
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,320
they better? They do? They have better coaches? I'm willing

253
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,360
to hear that they just that.

254
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,759
Speaker 3: They've had They've been a part of the power infrastructure.

255
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:28,279
I tweeted this out for thirty years. They have a

256
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,519
thirty year head start on BYU from a TV money

257
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,960
revenue generation standpoint. Thirty year head start by who's been

258
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,960
in the power searcher for three years?

259
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: Three? Come on, I mean, I just I want some

260
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,200
truth and perspective here from cogradation. That's it.

261
00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:54,679

Here on ESPN the Fan. That's one of three nine

268
00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:14,559
ninety eight point three ESPN the Fan. Let's get to

269
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:17,120
number eleven. How concerned are you, Kialani with whatever the

270
00:12:17,159 --> 00:12:21,279
next game ends up being, with Bear being injured and

271
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:23,399
there's availability going forward.

272
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, always concerned, But I mean that's that's not the

273
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,240
reason why we lost. I mean, it's it is part

274
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,320
of the reason why he wasn't able to play his best,

275
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,519
but because he's going to be hurting a lot more tomorrow,

276
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:42,279
you know. But I thought, you know, that wasn't we made.

277
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:44,120
We made a lot of mistakes. It wasn't just Bear.

278
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,039
He wasn't He wasn't the reason why we didn't score

279
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,360
enough points. It was a lot of different exams. We

280
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,440
the fumbles forced because we didn't have the right protection going.

281
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:54,919
And I thought Texas Tech had a great game plan

282
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,240
for trying to eliminate the quarterback run game, and so

283
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:01,279
we just didn't make enough adjustments to that. But like

284
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,159
I said, they just kept be guessing on a lot

285
00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:06,320
of different things, and and well coached team, and you

286
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:09,159
just weren't gonna get anything cheap on them. They were

287
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:12,440
they they basically covered all the areas and thought of

288
00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:14,960
their eyes across their t's And that's when you can

289
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,600
tell the real coach team that the culture that they

290
00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:21,799
have and everything they're doing, you know, they're dynamite team, man.

291
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,639
And so that that was a really cool experience for us.

292
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,360
But I think I think there's a lot of things

293
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,360
we can learn from this game.

294
00:13:27,399 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 3: Still, How concerned are you about Bear Backmeier's health. Ronald

295
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:35,399
the three man Weaver, what level of concern are you

296
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:35,919
at right now?

297
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,519
Speaker 4: Definitely, I think I'm in the middle.

298
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:40,759
Speaker 8: Like Bear's pretty tough, right Ben, But ankles, ankles are

299
00:13:40,759 --> 00:13:42,120
different than when you get rolled up on.

300
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 4: I've been rolled up on before, Like right, I played rugby.

301
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 8: I've had a two hundred and fifty sixty seventy pound

302
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:49,559
plus lineman rolling to my ankle.

303
00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 4: It does not feel good and.

304
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 8: You have to do recovery work, ice it, do everything,

305
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,879
and it's tough, and look, you're gonna be feeling it regardless.

306
00:13:56,879 --> 00:13:58,039
Speaker 4: So I'm in the middle.

307
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,879
Speaker 8: Maybe a little bit more on the more concern is

308
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:02,919
if I'm leaning past five to six. But yeah, I'm

309
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,679
concerned because one of Bear's best abilities been is to

310
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,080
be able to you know, is to be able to

311
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:10,000
run the football.

312
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: I'll be honest, I'm a little bit concerned here. I'm

313
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,320
looking at the mechanism and I'm hoping of praying it's

314
00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:20,559
not a high ankle sprain. High ankle sprain's look grade

315
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:24,120
one your minimum one to four weeks, you know, minimal damage,

316
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,759
quick recovery, you hope you get back. But I've seen

317
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:28,559
it like that grade too. If it's a Grade two

318
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,399
four to eight weeks. And so we're sitting here. You know,

319
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,759
the injury was sustained on December, just a few days ago,

320
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:44,240
just December six, and so I mean, I'm concerned.

321
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:45,879
Speaker 2: I'll be honest.

322
00:14:45,879 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you can tape it up, spat

323
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,080
it up, shoot it up. But his running ability is

324
00:14:51,159 --> 00:14:54,200
really unique too, you know, being able to get downhill,

325
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,600
and you want to be able to beat Georgia Tech.

326
00:14:56,039 --> 00:14:58,440
So we'll see what his reps and he's gonna have

327
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,519
maybe a limited amount of reps as he's going through

328
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,679
his recovery too, if it is a hig ankle sprain.

329
00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:08,200
So something to keep an eye on, Okay, something definitely

330
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:11,519
keep an eye on, with his left ankle getting rolled

331
00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:14,039
up on by that massive defensive tackle from Texas Tech.

332
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,200
Got to sustain your blocks. If you don't sustain your blocks,

333
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,200
you get your quarterback injured. You know, I would rather

334
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:25,480
you hold than not sustain a block. Take a flag,

335
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,240
and we don't have an injured quarterback.

336
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,279
Speaker 2: Anyway. We did end up scoring our only touchdown on

337
00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:32,080
that drive, though.

338
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:35,879
Speaker 3: Great play call there on the little bit of triggeration

339
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:37,519
with the direct snap to LJ.

340
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: Martin All right.

341
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,399
Speaker 3: One last thing here in the post game with greg

342
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,159
Rebell and Hans Olsen, I believe Kalani was asked a

343
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,279
question about the contract why it maybe took so long?

344
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,399
Speaker 2: You say, I don't have the direct verbiage here, but

345
00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:52,200
let's tune in Colonie in.

346
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: The post game with Gregorbell and Hans Olsen discussing his contract,

347
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,639
why it took so long to get it all signed, sealed, delivered.

348
00:15:58,159 --> 00:16:00,759
Speaker 9: What a week of emotions for you, Kilanie, just kind

349
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:05,200
of take us through the Monday emotions then leading through

350
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,360
the week and and coming into this game. How how

351
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,600
crazy of a week has this been with your extension

352
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,120
and this game attached to it?

353
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, I was trying to get the

354
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,159
extension done way way before, and even last year's extension

355
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,759
wasn't good enough. Like I want to be here for

356
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:23,840
the long run, and you know, I asked for this

357
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:25,879
the stuff to be taken care of by the bye week.

358
00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:28,240
It wasn't, and it lingered on and so I didn't

359
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,440
know if Bhyu was getting able to.

360
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,039
Speaker 4: Get that done.

361
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:32,159
Speaker 5: And and now that we got it done, it became

362
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,919
it disrupted us for one day, and you know I

363
00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:37,679
tried to avoid as much as I can as a

364
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:39,639
head coach, but I don't make all the rules. And

365
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:41,679
I'm just glad that it got done eventually, you know,

366
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,200
and that I'm going to be here for a long

367
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,039
time and I don't ever have to plan about leaving.

368
00:16:46,159 --> 00:16:48,720
This is where it's at. And and you know I've been,

369
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,399
I've been, you know, Hans, You've been a hunting for

370
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,360
a long time, saying with you, Greg, this is what

371
00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:54,600
I've been looking for from the very beginning. So I'm

372
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,600
sad that it came it became an issue for one day.

373
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,639
I'm glad that our guys were able to focus and

374
00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:03,159
getting keep fighting along. But you know, we were trying

375
00:17:03,159 --> 00:17:04,440
to get this done a long time ago.

376
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: Colonia, Okay, So I mean he laid it all out there, guys.

377
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,920
He was trying to get it done by the bye week.

378
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,160
When was the bye week? It was the week prior

379
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:18,960
to the Texas Tech Game, So November one, he was

380
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,200
trying to get it done. At that time, BYU was undefeated, right,

381
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,519
they were rolling in to a bye week, getting prep

382
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:30,680
getting ready for text A. You had two weeks to

383
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,079
get it done and get it announced before taking on

384
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,079
arguably the best team in college football, Texas Tech on

385
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,279
the road. Right, So if you're you're if you're the

386
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,960
BYU brass, you're like, well, let's wait and see real

387
00:17:43,079 --> 00:17:44,680
quick how you do against the best.

388
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: And then and then we'll give you.

389
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,759
Speaker 3: If you beat him, then we'll give you that that extension, Pal,

390
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,079
then we'll give you, you know, that lifelong contract. You

391
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:55,519
know that you're looking for, pal. You know, I have

392
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,119
to side a little bit with Kolanie. Look, Kirk Signetti

393
00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:02,839
was signed to two weeks prior. Matt Ruhle was signed

394
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:05,440
an extension two weeks prior. With you know, you know,

395
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,519
you take those two scenarios. If you know you have

396
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,000
your guy, or you think you have your guy, then

397
00:18:12,039 --> 00:18:15,240
you want to get it done. Maybe there was some

398
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,119
sort of a contingency. Maybe there was some sort of

399
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,440
clause there. Maybe maybe you had a different, you know,

400
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,960
different mindset. If you're like the power broker's decision makers

401
00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:26,440
are are are these right?

402
00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 10: Like?

403
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,279
Speaker 2: And I don't know the.

404
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: You know, how it sequences, how they counsel and how

405
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,240
they make decisions. But Bryan Santiago, Shane Reese, Keith voor

406
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,039
kink Elder Gilbert like those are the individuals that I

407
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:43,720
think are involved in that decision making process to be

408
00:18:43,759 --> 00:18:47,720
able to extend a do something different than you've traditionally

409
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,559
done with your contracts.

410
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:57,039
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? So unfortunately Kilane needed an.

411
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 3: Offer on the table from Penn State to get something done.

412
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,880
That's what it came down to, because then all of

413
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,920
a sudden you had the leverage. You know, I'm sure

414
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,720
you probably could have got him cheaper if you would

415
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,759
have signed him on November first. He probably would have

416
00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:22,200
got him a whole lot cheaper if you would have

417
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:24,319
signed him November first.

418
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 2: So I mean, that's that's Killani. Now, Look I understand.

419
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,799
Speaker 3: Look from a business standpoint, you know, you maybe had

420
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,519
some sort of a contingency plan. Maybe he felt like

421
00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:38,400
if Kilani did leave for greener pastors, because you couldn't

422
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,279
give him the money that he was looking for. Obviously

423
00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:44,319
you could you eventually did, and the donor stepped up.

424
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,119
Did the donors need to have a little fire up

425
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,880
there up their booty? You probably could have lit a

426
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,240
fire under him on that bye week too though. Anyway,

427
00:19:52,279 --> 00:19:54,440
you could have a tend contingency plan. You could have thought, hey,

428
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,480
we can bring in this coach or that coach and

429
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,480
we'll we'll be fine, We'll continue to be BYU. There's

430
00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:01,680
no to no player that is bigger than the bay

431
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,240
You brand. That is something that I've been told before,

432
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,839
right this uh, this idea that anyone can win at

433
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:07,279
b YU.

434
00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 2: Anyone can win, you.

435
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 3: Can win eight plus games, you can beat quota yearnie

436
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,359
out because of the BAU brand.

437
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 2: That's what I've been told.

438
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,079
Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, I get it, But who do you

439
00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:19,039
want to be your ambassador?

440
00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 2: Who do you want to be the face of the program.

441
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 3: And the people have spoken, the sponsors, the corporate sponsors,

442
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,920
the donors have spoken they want Kilani to be their coach,

443
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,079
their ambassador of their their.

444
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: Faith driven athletic department institution.

445
00:20:37,079 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: And even Shane ree Shane said it via Keith Vorking,

446
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,759
like in many ways, Killani is the face of BYU.

447
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,319
And I would say, is Kilani the most recognized visible

448
00:20:51,759 --> 00:20:54,000
like popular right now this day and Agee the most

449
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,599
popular latter day Saint, the most visibly recognized latter day Saint?

450
00:20:57,599 --> 00:21:01,640
I mean maybe Mitt Romney, right, But like if you

451
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,440
ask any Joe Schmoe around the world, around the country,

452
00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:08,640
who are they going to recognize as who's the most.

453
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 2: Popular latter day Saint. I don't know.

454
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:13,559
Speaker 3: Maybe it's is there someone in dancing in the stars

455
00:21:13,599 --> 00:21:16,799
I'm not aware of, you know, I don't know. But

456
00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:22,079
all right, the world goes round and round, and ultimately,

457
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,000

00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:07,599
recapped it all show now go into the pop Tarts Bowl,

539
00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:09,240
but still got to break down some of the post

540
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,759
game sound gonna get into here. Parker Kingston and Tanner

541
00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:16,440
Wall sound Tanner, Wall and Parker were addressed by myself

542
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,960
and other members of the media.

543
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 4: I was down. They are gonna go question by question.

544
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 8: Let's start with number one, and just to let everybody know,

545
00:25:23,599 --> 00:25:25,759
shout out to I forgot his name, but the guy

546
00:25:25,759 --> 00:25:30,000
there's directed questions, he said, hey, will when you ask questions,

547
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,200
will you say the player's name that way they know yes?

548
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,960
And you know in your home media availabilities you do

549
00:25:36,039 --> 00:25:37,640
that right because you're used to it. When you go

550
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,880
on the road and you have local people in Dallas,

551
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:42,440
even Fox was there. You need to make sure that

552
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,160
you address the players by their name because they might

553
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,720
not know. Okay, number one, Tanner, what was the difference

554
00:25:48,799 --> 00:25:51,880
this time around against Texas Tech compare to the first time.

555
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,039
Speaker 11: I mean, honestly, when you look at it, the game,

556
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,200
the way the game went pretty similar, right, A lot

557
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,720
of stat categories. We lost the turnover margin four to

558
00:26:03,839 --> 00:26:08,799
zero last time three zero. I thought, you know, defensively

559
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,599
we fought and battled in some of those short fields

560
00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:13,960
to try to force them into field goals or no points.

561
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,200
But honestly, just looking at the way the game went

562
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,240
and felt like they made more plays than us. Right,

563
00:26:22,279 --> 00:26:25,799
Their playmakers made plays to change the momentum of the game,

564
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,640
and we weren't really able to do that on our end.

565
00:26:29,519 --> 00:26:32,559
Speaker 8: Now, look, the game definitely felt different. I don't know

566
00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:34,839
about your opinion, but I feel like the game definitely

567
00:26:34,839 --> 00:26:37,599
was different. I felt that Bay you had a lot

568
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,880
more fight. I felt like the defense was more physical,

569
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,240
but the result wasn't different. The result indeed was the same.

570
00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:47,799
And for Texas Tech, I definitely think it was different.

571
00:26:47,799 --> 00:26:50,000
On the defensive side of the ball. The turnovers started

572
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,559
to build up in that third and that fourth quarter.

573
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,720
Ben Roberts, who got the defensive player most Outstanding big

574
00:26:56,759 --> 00:27:01,039
to a player of the game, rightfully so he set

575
00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:04,839
a big twelve interception record of two. That second interception

576
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,640
was ridiculous to one hand to pick. So, yeah, Texas

577
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,839
Tech demolition the defense. Deal with the defense does, I

578
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,720
think to a lot of people they normally don't do.

579
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,759
They didn't do that to bo you the first time.

580
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,640
The mup punk was on Parker. I know there's a turnover,

581
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,240
but that bear had the the bad fumble and then

582
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,079
he had the interception this game to make LJ.

583
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,839
Speaker 4: Martin fumball. I think that was the first fumble he

584
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,359
had of his career. That ah Man. Texas Tech was

585
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,319
clicking defensively everywhere on Saturday.

586
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,319
Speaker 10: It just felt like, and I hate saying this, I

587
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,640
really hate saying this, but it almost felt like one

588
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,359
of those situations where no matter what BYU would have done,

589
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,720
they would have lost the game. And I realized, that's

590
00:27:44,759 --> 00:27:48,839
really disrespectful. And it's not BYU. It's just Texas Tech

591
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,799
is generational. You made the point this morning on our

592
00:27:52,839 --> 00:27:56,400
podcast that we may see a playoff game where Texas

593
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,480
Tech pulls at Georgia TCU where it just doesn't even

594
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:04,920
look competitive. Yeah, and everyone's given BYU mess for how

595
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,640
they looked in these Texas Tech games. I think why

596
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:14,119
Texas Tech is going to upset someone very hard in

597
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,519
the playoffs and they're gonna come away going what just happened?

598
00:28:17,519 --> 00:28:20,000
And it's gonna be Kline's gonna say, I try to

599
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,319
tell you they did know that they didn't know. They're

600
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,599
about to find out find out they're about to find

601
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,279
out about Texas Tech. Did this game feel different? Yes, Honestly,

602
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,640
when b what you proved they could go ninety yards

603
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,400
sixteen plays on that first drive, I said, this is

604
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,480
a completely different ball game.

605
00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:39,279
Speaker 4: And I even saw text afferent team.

606
00:28:39,319 --> 00:28:41,799
Speaker 10: To be honest, I saw Texas Tech fans after the

607
00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:45,200
game who said, hey, if you guys saw the way

608
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,319
bo you played in the first Tech quarter, they could

609
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:50,079
play with anybody. And I respected Texas Tech fans for

610
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,519
saying that. The other thing that was really unfortunate is,

611
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,000
especially in that first quarter, like Barren Morton threw some

612
00:28:58,119 --> 00:29:00,640
balls that were so bad that.

613
00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 4: They didn't get intercepted.

614
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,599
Speaker 10: And what I mean by that is they were so

615
00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:07,519
off target that the guy who was in in correct

616
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:10,599
position to play the ball couldn't have been in the

617
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,839
right position because there's no way he would have expected

618
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,880
the ball to be that bad. There was a couple

619
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,160
of plays in that first drive in that first quarter

620
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,759
where Foulatow almost comes down with it. Jack Kelly almost

621
00:29:19,799 --> 00:29:21,920
comes down with it. And if that happens, you suck

622
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,519
even more momentum out of the building. But I'll tell

623
00:29:24,519 --> 00:29:29,000
you this, I think even if that happens. This Texas

624
00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:32,119
Tech team is just so dangerous they can throw a

625
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,240
knockout punch at any point. So yes, Tannerwall, I agree

626
00:29:36,319 --> 00:29:38,880
a little bit. But I also think the defense played

627
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,279
their hearts out. I said this after the game, like,

628
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:47,599
if Dau's defense, if you'll use offense, played as good

629
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,880
as Buoy's defense.

630
00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 4: Bili would be a national championship. The defense is that good.

631
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,559
Speaker 10: The problem is you can only hang on for so

632
00:29:55,759 --> 00:30:00,880
long until and unfortunately he missed field goals, miss opportunities

633
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:01,599
to get points.

634
00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 4: It's just unfortunate.

635
00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:06,759
Speaker 10: But I do think this defense did everything they could,

636
00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:09,799
and I think this offense was just battered and bruised

637
00:30:09,839 --> 00:30:11,920
and not up the task with the best.

638
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 4: Defense in the country.

639
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:15,039
Speaker 8: Quite frankly, Yeah, when you when you put your defense

640
00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:18,599
in tough situations like that, as we mentioned over and

641
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,799
over and over, it's bad. You see it even at

642
00:30:20,839 --> 00:30:23,000
the highest level. You saw it if you watched any

643
00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:23,960
night football last night.

644
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:24,559
Speaker 4: What happened.

645
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,079
Speaker 8: True, When you go forward in your own territory on

646
00:30:27,079 --> 00:30:29,400
the thirty and you don't convert or down, it's tough

647
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,359
to stop that. You're asking the defense to go out

648
00:30:33,359 --> 00:30:35,039
and have a miracle. Now, granted they're going to say

649
00:30:35,079 --> 00:30:37,799
the right things. It doesn't matter what position we're put in.

650
00:30:38,079 --> 00:30:39,519
We got to go out there and do this right.

651
00:30:39,759 --> 00:30:43,039
And I respect him for saying it. Be like no, oh,

652
00:30:43,119 --> 00:30:46,920
like you can't be put in that position. Unfortunately, that's

653
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,039
just not how it goes. Not how it goes, but

654
00:30:50,759 --> 00:30:53,920
that's what happened. And Texas Tech they're the real deal.

655
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,039
Like this is not hyperbole, but they have the top

656
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,759
they have a top five defense. They gives enough to

657
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:03,000
be able to compete and win a national championship. Yep

658
00:31:03,519 --> 00:31:05,920
I said to all the media members in the elevator,

659
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,680
they're gonna win a national championship, and they looked at me.

660
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,279
So I was like, oh, you can't be declared of

661
00:31:10,319 --> 00:31:13,160
on that so fast. And I said, I know what

662
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,359
I just witnessed. I know bears a freshman. I know

663
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,559
that there are other quarterbacks that might be in this situation.

664
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,880
But I look forward to the matchup between Mendoza and

665
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,160
Indiana and this Texas Technique. Taxa Tech is gonna be

666
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,839
in the semi final game. I don't think Organ's gonna

667
00:31:27,839 --> 00:31:30,559
beat them. I think they're gonna give. Like John Kurtz says,

668
00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:34,400
Dante more Hell. I really believe that. I really if

669
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,599
Dan Lanning is able to win that, then he should

670
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,119
go on to the National Championship and compete for that.

671
00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:43,039
If you're able to de throw in the Texas Tech defense.

672
00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:45,519
But the way they are, like I can't remember what

673
00:31:45,559 --> 00:31:47,519
play it was. They had route concepts that were going

674
00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:50,359
down the field and bau Bear took a checkdown.

675
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,119
Speaker 4: It was the right read.

676
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 8: And the way they swarmed to the ball it looked

677
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,160
like Tampa Bay's defense in that Tom Brady Super Bowl

678
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,200
against the Chiefs I think twenty twenty one or whatever

679
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,440
it was. I'll like the speed, Brad, It's ridiculous. You

680
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,359
gotta tip your out the Texas Tech. So they really

681
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,519
are different. And like Coloney said, they'll find out they played.

682
00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:12,079
They played the best team that Klonne says in the

683
00:32:12,119 --> 00:32:15,880
best defense twice two times in a four week what

684
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,119
twice in a month span. So look, sometimes you just

685
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,799
you don't get it done. You don't get it done,

686
00:32:20,839 --> 00:32:23,640
and you have none to be ashamed of, like Texas Tech,

687
00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:28,000
like Colannie said, they do that to everybody. Number two, Parker,

688
00:32:28,039 --> 00:32:30,759
this one's for you. The offense started out well and

689
00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:32,599
then it started to unravel after that.

690
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 4: What were the reasons for that?

691
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,039
Speaker 12: Like it was last last time we played them, we

692
00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:39,599
just weren't executing or we weren't we weren't playing our

693
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,920
brand of football and we let that game get out

694
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,799
of hand because we weren't making We weren't making plays.

695
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 4: Weren't making plays.

696
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,759
Speaker 8: But it's also because Texas Tech wasn't allow you to

697
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:52,640
make plays and they were making plays against BYU.

698
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,559
Speaker 4: So it goes both ways. Tough tough with the offense.

699
00:32:55,559 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 8: You thought after that first quarter, Okay, Bo's gonna have

700
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,440
a chance in this game. And then Texas Tech does

701
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,359
what they always do. They didn't They didn't panic made adjustments. Well,

702
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,839
take it back, they didn't make adjustments, Peerly Hunter, they

703
00:33:06,839 --> 00:33:09,079
didn't make any adjustments, just kept the same defensive plan

704
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,200
and they kept doing that.

705
00:33:10,319 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 4: To me, I don't know if that's true or not.

706
00:33:12,039 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 8: We'd have to ask the defensive coach of Texas Tech

707
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,720
if they made adjustments, right, not saying that Lee Hunter's lying,

708
00:33:16,759 --> 00:33:18,599
but we'd have to ask, hey, did you change anything

709
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:18,960
at all?

710
00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 2: Right?

711
00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 4: Get more specific.

712
00:33:20,279 --> 00:33:22,759
Speaker 8: But with that being said, Brett, if they didn't change

713
00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:24,240
a single thing, that's.

714
00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 10: More scary I mean they were they they did a

715
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,599
lot of things really well. I just think what this

716
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,720
game came down to is when you're in a situation

717
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,920
where you're in predictive play calling, like what are you

718
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,400
gonna do? Because that's what Texa Tech does so well,

719
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,319
is they put you in a position where they say, Okay,

720
00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:51,359
now you're down X amount of points, so now we

721
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,880
know you have to throw the football, so now we

722
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,680
can bring the pass rush every time, and our d

723
00:33:55,799 --> 00:33:57,519
line doesn't even have to worry about whether or not

724
00:33:57,519 --> 00:33:59,839
you're running the ball or not. We know exactly what

725
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:02,640
you're going to do. And in a scenario like that,

726
00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:04,839
I'm not even sure that it matters if you change

727
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,200
up what you're doing, because Texas Tech A is that

728
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:08,719
good that if they didn't know what you were doing,

729
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,199
they could still stop you and be they do know

730
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,159
what you were there, They do know what you're doing.

731
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,360
So they only have to bring three guys, and they

732
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,679
brought a couple extra blitzers, which they really don't do

733
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,119
that often. They just they got byu into predictable play

734
00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:24,400
calling situations and were able to snuff them out from there.

735
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 8: It's true they were able to snuff them out on

736
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,679
a lot of things. So Parker, this one's for you again.

737
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,519
What did the defense do to take away your shots downfield?

738
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,679
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean they were just bailing. They didn't want

739
00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:39,719
to get beat over the top, and they made us

740
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,039
beat them in front of them, and we weren't. We

741
00:34:42,039 --> 00:34:44,599
weren't playing clean football and we were executing.

742
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:45,679
Speaker 4: In order to do that.

743
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 8: With these type of teams that play the deeper coverages,

744
00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:48,599
you got to run them out of it, or you

745
00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:50,800
got to throw it underneath enough to burn them. You

746
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,440
got to get first down out, the first down on

747
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,480
the crossing cross shallow routes and that that's what you

748
00:34:55,519 --> 00:34:57,119
have to do to beat them. That's the only way.

749
00:34:57,119 --> 00:34:58,880
And b we did that on that first drive. They

750
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,880
were moving the ball. Then the cop started to come

751
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,000
and with the LJ. But if you're not doing it underneath,

752
00:35:04,119 --> 00:35:06,239
they're just gonna bail and do that. You could say, oh,

753
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,280
it's a weak's strategy. Look, I always say in and

754
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,719
pick up basketball, I can in church, I do it.

755
00:35:11,119 --> 00:35:13,239
I go right every single time until someone forces me

756
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,280
to go left. I'm not gonna stop my game planer

757
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,400
switching until you stopped it. So you can say, oh, yeah,

758
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,320
you can say oh it's weak and say okay, sure

759
00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:21,679
have you beat it? No, okay, well that's exactly what's

760
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,000
gonna gonna happen. They'll keep doing that or they're just

761
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:26,079
dominant with it and any to do anything else.

762
00:35:26,079 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 4: They never have had to change it. So we'll see.

763
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,559
Speaker 8: We'll watch Texas Tech all of us in the playoffs,

764
00:35:30,599 --> 00:35:31,679
and we'll see and grant.

765
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,559
Speaker 4: If you're a byufen, you want a root for Texas Tech.

766
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 8: Why is because you want BYU not those loss to

767
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,559
be validated, but you want the committee and everybody to see, Okay,

768
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,599
this team is really legit. So you need them to

769
00:35:42,679 --> 00:35:44,480
knock off a big team team, you need them to

770
00:35:44,519 --> 00:35:46,760
knock off an SEC team. You're glad that they got

771
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,760
to buy all of that matters. Number four Tanner Kalani said,

772
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,519
you guys were more physical of this game.

773
00:35:53,079 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 4: Do you agree with that assessment?

774
00:35:55,559 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 6: Yeah?

775
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,039
Speaker 11: I mean if if our head ball coach you know,

776
00:35:58,119 --> 00:36:01,079
saw it that way, then absolutely, you know I trust

777
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:02,199
him and would agree.

778
00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 6: I thought we played physical. I thought we played with

779
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:05,360
great effort.

780
00:36:05,559 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 11: Just as I mentioned, they made way more place than

781
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:09,119
we did.

782
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 4: May were more players, they played with may and more

783
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:12,480
effort don't have to go into it.

784
00:36:12,519 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 8: But yeah, if you ask a player what their coach says,

785
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,039
they're most likely going to agree less it's really bad

786
00:36:19,079 --> 00:36:21,519
blub But I don't think so. Look they played. If

787
00:36:21,519 --> 00:36:24,400
you watched that game, you saw how physical Bay was playing.

788
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,880
They were trying out there. It just it didn't work out.

789
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,400
You could say how talented, you could say, you know,

790
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,119
there are a few pieces away, maybe on the defensive line.

791
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,079
Whatever the reason was, bau gave their all the defense

792
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,199
and the offense like they were. They were trying, bro,

793
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,119
they were really trying, and it just didn't work out.

794
00:36:40,679 --> 00:36:45,599
Speaker 10: I just think this Texas tech defense, they don't need

795
00:36:45,639 --> 00:36:47,679
the bodies. They only have to put three on the

796
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,480
d line and you still won't run the ball against

797
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,320
That's crazy. They have safeties and corners who bail downfield,

798
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,760
and even when you throw short, their linebackers are fast

799
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,800
enough to get from that hout curl out into the

800
00:37:00,599 --> 00:37:03,719
so it almost again, it just feels like they have

801
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,599
the bodies to do things that football wise, they shouldn't

802
00:37:07,639 --> 00:37:09,719
be able to do because they are that good.

803
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 4: They are that athletic, they are that talented.

804
00:37:13,079 --> 00:37:17,039
Speaker 10: Look, do they maybe need an upgrade in the pass

805
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:22,599
rush situation. Yes, and that's not anything really that's new.

806
00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:24,679
They have lots of good pass rushers. I don't know

807
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,239
if they have any great pass rushers, so that is

808
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,840
something that you have to figure out. But I mean,

809
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,719
we've now heard this from Parker and now from Tanner,

810
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,440
both of them kind of saying, yeah, they just made

811
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:37,320
more place than we did.

812
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, and look Lucy to see Lee Hunter Klegg. Those

813
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,360
guys are playing well. For young guys, they're going to develop,

814
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,519
They're going to get better. They're close to it when

815
00:37:46,559 --> 00:37:48,840
you look out close if they are getting to the quarterback.

816
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:50,880
I think that's where experience comes into play.

817
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:51,119
Speaker 2: Brad.

818
00:37:51,119 --> 00:37:53,039
Speaker 8: I think next year we'll start to make those plays

819
00:37:53,039 --> 00:37:55,559
as they get more mature, as they watch more tape.

820
00:37:56,039 --> 00:37:59,199
But they've all played very well so far. Lucy to

821
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,280
tear some of his achilles, Broden to come back and

822
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,159
do what he's doing, Talciley to finally get timed down

823
00:38:04,199 --> 00:38:06,800
the stretch later like that, that means something that really does.

824
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,360
Like the future of the BAU defensive line is bright.

825
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,119
Where the keanuton Avasa comes back on it's right, the

826
00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:13,079
defensive ends.

827
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 4: All of it.

828
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,199
Speaker 8: I really believe that BYU is going to have an

829
00:38:16,199 --> 00:38:21,440
opportunity to really grow more defensive players, and it's going

830
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,159
to start with the defensive line, then the secondary. But

831
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,480
the boys up front defensive wise have been phenomenal down

832
00:38:27,519 --> 00:38:30,039
the stretch. They got one more game now against Georgia Tech.

833
00:38:30,559 --> 00:38:33,039
I think they'll go and take care of business as well.

834
00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:35,800
Number five for both of you guys, Kalani said that

835
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,599
that's the best team in the country. Is that the

836
00:38:38,639 --> 00:38:40,679
best team in the country and the best team you

837
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,639
guys have faced at BYU.

838
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,559
Speaker 12: Yeah, one hundred percent. That's the best defense I've ever

839
00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:47,440
gone against them. To be able to play them twice

840
00:38:47,559 --> 00:38:49,760
is it's honestly an honor to play those guys because

841
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,039
it makes every other team not.

842
00:38:52,559 --> 00:38:54,079
Speaker 6: I mean every other team's.

843
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 12: Good, but that is a the best defense in the country.

844
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,239
And to be those guys, you got to play clean

845
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,000
football and they yeah, they're they're gonna make a run

846
00:39:05,039 --> 00:39:05,960
in the playoffs for sure.

847
00:39:07,559 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 6: Yeah.

848
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 11: No, that's a, if not the best, the top three

849
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,880
team in the country. And you know, we had to

850
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,880
play him twice. We didn't didn't play our best either

851
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,119
time that we played them, But I think offensively, they

852
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,559
capitalize very well on the way that they get big

853
00:39:26,559 --> 00:39:28,000
plays in momentum from their defense.

854
00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 6: Right, they had I.

855
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,559
Speaker 11: Mean seven ish short fields today, right, So you know,

856
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,239
when you're in that position as a defense, you gotta

857
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,079
just fight and claw and try to keep points off

858
00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:39,960
the board, which you.

859
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:40,639
Speaker 6: Know we tried to do.

860
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,199
Speaker 11: But that's a that's an exceptional, exceptional team. They have

861
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,760
great players across the board, and they're coached extremely well,

862
00:39:49,159 --> 00:39:52,440
and the way that they they play compliments each other. Right,

863
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,800
they played great, complimentary football and thought they they did

864
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:56,679
that well today.

865
00:39:57,559 --> 00:40:00,639
Speaker 8: Look, I'm gonna agree with Tannerwa on this again. If

866
00:40:00,639 --> 00:40:02,920
you want to know I interviewed excuse me if you

867
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,159
want an interview that has a lot of good content

868
00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:09,800
and a very thorough answer asked for Tannerwall. Tannerwall gave

869
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,360
you they had seven is short fields today, Like he's

870
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,159
giving you the amount of short fields that they had.

871
00:40:14,199 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 4: Now.

872
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,519
Speaker 8: Granted he's the one plan out there, and people say

873
00:40:16,519 --> 00:40:18,639
you should have known that, But to know exactly how

874
00:40:18,639 --> 00:40:21,400
many short fields that they had, that's ridiculous.

875
00:40:21,519 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 4: Seven. So that's how it was.

876
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,639
Speaker 10: When they played the first time around, they kept getting

877
00:40:25,679 --> 00:40:27,400
stuck in shortfield situation.

878
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 4: And this time it was worse because it was due

879
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:29,320
to turnovers.

880
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,679
Speaker 8: Yep, this one was worse and people they had turn

881
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,320
the ball and you're not like the way they did,

882
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:37,760
Like Bear did not play well at all. It was

883
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,199
very tough and the ball just didn't bounce your way.

884
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,199
This is twice, Like you know, we're looking at the

885
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:46,639
highlights right now. The fumble forward. That's the second time

886
00:40:46,679 --> 00:40:49,400
that that's happened. Happened in the Utah game. Remember the

887
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,280
ball is fumbled for it and to Merriweathering then fumbled

888
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:53,639
now and then I don't know if it was Douglas

889
00:40:53,679 --> 00:40:55,559
or Carter Junior that picks it up and then they

890
00:40:55,639 --> 00:40:59,519
keep going BYU has had some to look and I

891
00:40:59,519 --> 00:41:02,559
don't want to you know, hear this, but Sean Walker,

892
00:41:02,599 --> 00:41:03,360
you know been and.

893
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,519
Speaker 4: I'll say that Davis because they'll be fine with it.

894
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,039
Speaker 8: But they gave me crap last year of like there's

895
00:41:09,079 --> 00:41:12,719
no such category as near miss interceptions with Jake Retz leve. Okay, well,

896
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,199
then there's no in the category with near miss almost

897
00:41:15,199 --> 00:41:17,360
getting the turnovers against Texas Tech didnt happen.

898
00:41:17,679 --> 00:41:19,199
Speaker 4: Yeah it didn't, right, So.

899
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:26,039
Speaker 8: I it's tough because yes, we've seen twice. Now them

900
00:41:26,039 --> 00:41:27,800
played Texas Tech that if they would have taken the

901
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,079
ball away, that could have changed the momentum. But it

902
00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:33,400
didn't happen. They did not execute, and that Texas Tech did.

903
00:41:33,679 --> 00:41:36,000
And seven short fields, Brett, you give seven short fields

904
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,800
to any college football team, yet alone Texas Tech, you're

905
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,000
gonna lose that game. So I hope that this is

906
00:41:42,079 --> 00:41:45,000
tape for other teams that think they could be Texas Tech,

907
00:41:45,039 --> 00:41:48,199
because if you give them two short fields, give them

908
00:41:48,199 --> 00:41:51,480
double the possessions. With how Baron Morden is able to

909
00:41:51,519 --> 00:41:54,719
throw the football, make some high level throws. With these

910
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,480
high level receivers and tight ends that he has, it's

911
00:41:57,519 --> 00:41:59,199
not gonna go well for your team. And Cameron Dicky's

912
00:41:59,199 --> 00:42:01,360
a beast too. They got offensive power. It was the

913
00:42:01,559 --> 00:42:03,679
I looked at this. It was on the jumble tronp played.

914
00:42:03,679 --> 00:42:05,920
I'm a if it was set on the broadcast. Eighty

915
00:42:06,039 --> 00:42:08,199
six pass play of the season of twenty plus more

916
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,079
yards yep, when they got it at third and I

917
00:42:10,119 --> 00:42:10,960
think twelve or whatever.

918
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,679
Speaker 4: Pretty explosive offense in the country by far. It's ridiculous.

919
00:42:14,679 --> 00:42:17,679
Speaker 8: So all right, number six, Parker Bayu is eleven and

920
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,039
two with your only two losses coming to the number

921
00:42:20,039 --> 00:42:22,639
two four team in the country. Do you feel like

922
00:42:22,679 --> 00:42:24,760
you guys belong in the CFP?

923
00:42:26,119 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent.

924
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,559
Speaker 12: I mean to be eleven and one in a power

925
00:42:31,599 --> 00:42:36,599
for conference is something that's really hard to do. And

926
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,599
the fact that we aren't getting the respect that we

927
00:42:38,679 --> 00:42:41,760
deserve or the Big twelve even that there we're not

928
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,679
getting respected is I mean, it pisses you off right,

929
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:50,360
it makes you mad and to be I mean, like

930
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,920
to have the conference championship as the reason why we

931
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,599
can't go or get in I think is not right.

932
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,280
I mean, what's the point of even getting the conference

933
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,320
championship if it's going to hurt your odds of getting

934
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:03,079
into playoff or not.

935
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 4: It's a joke.

936
00:43:05,039 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 8: Some say it's a joke, like Kirk Krbstreek is saying, yeah,

937
00:43:10,559 --> 00:43:12,480
you know, Ba, you shouldn't be penalized for losing a

938
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:13,239
conference shamers game.

939
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 4: I don't think that.

940
00:43:14,199 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 8: You and I were down at christone we saw so

941
00:43:16,119 --> 00:43:18,119
yes you so you're saying, yes, they should be penalized.

942
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,519
Speaker 4: That's what you're saying. Come on, Kirk, do better, do better.

943
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 10: The thing that really sucks and Tanner and Parker both

944
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:30,400
alluded to this, b YU had to play Texas Tech twice.

945
00:43:31,039 --> 00:43:33,320
You know who else had to play their conference championship

946
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:34,639
conference champion twice?

947
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:35,599
Speaker 4: Alabama?

948
00:43:35,679 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 10: Same, that's the only because the way it got scheduled

949
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,119
in the Big Ten. And look, there's no way they

950
00:43:40,119 --> 00:43:42,000
scheduled ahead of time knowing the Indiana was going to

951
00:43:42,039 --> 00:43:43,519
be that good, so they avoided playing website.

952
00:43:43,519 --> 00:43:45,119
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not insinuating that.

953
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 10: I'm just saying, b YU, anybody else have to play

954
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,679
a conference champion twice? No, only BYU, and only Alabama

955
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,039
had to play the team who won the conference twice,

956
00:43:55,119 --> 00:43:57,239
the only two teams and all PO four who had

957
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,920
to play twice. So it just sucks because you kind

958
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:03,280
of got into like an unfortunate scheduling situation. And look,

959
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,199
should BOYU have been good enough to win this game?

960
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,320
Should they have to rely on that excuse? Absolutely not.

961
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,679
That's not what I'm saying. But I am just saying,

962
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,559
you're in a tough situation where you got scheduled that way,

963
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:18,199
and if they don't adjust, how these things matter, and

964
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,599
my guess is that they will.

965
00:44:19,639 --> 00:44:22,199
Speaker 4: We've already seen yeah, because they're not doing it.

966
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 10: No, and we've already seen one Bowl executive who told

967
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,960
Brett McMurphy like bollseason as we know it is effectively dead.

968
00:44:29,159 --> 00:44:31,679
I think we will learn that this year was a

969
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,440
landmark year in the future of college football, not only

970
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,079
because it was a twelve team plaff, but I think

971
00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:40,000
a lot of changes are coming, as they should be.

972
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,880
And look, it's only a mistake if you do it twice.

973
00:44:44,039 --> 00:44:45,119
Speaker 4: That's what I heard growing up.

974
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 10: If you do it once, it's okay, it's only a mistake,

975
00:44:48,039 --> 00:44:51,000
and you're only wrong if you do it twice. And

976
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,159
my guess is that at the end of this year. Unfortunately,

977
00:44:54,199 --> 00:44:56,159
that won't do anything for BOU fans who wish to

978
00:44:56,159 --> 00:44:58,599
Bou was in the playoffs this year. But my guess

979
00:44:58,679 --> 00:45:02,639
is we will see change, because if we don't, then

980
00:45:02,679 --> 00:45:05,880
my next question is how long until you see someone say,

981
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,119
you know what, I don't want to run the risk

982
00:45:09,159 --> 00:45:11,840
of losing another game because guess what, everybody else got

983
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,079
to sit on the couch on Saturday in a conference championship.

984
00:45:14,159 --> 00:45:16,840
It's not a privilege to play in a conference championship anymore.

985
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,039
All it is is an opportunity to hurt your brand.

986
00:45:19,119 --> 00:45:23,039
That's all it is. They're basically no bonus that comes

987
00:45:23,079 --> 00:45:26,239
all you get. The only bonus you get in conference

988
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,159
championship weekend is by not losing, but you don't really

989
00:45:29,199 --> 00:45:33,199
get a bonus from winning. So if they don't change things,

990
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,159
then my next question is how long until somebody says, yeah,

991
00:45:36,159 --> 00:45:38,559
we're not going, we're not playing and they have to

992
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,840
because these conferences have a ton of money tied up

993
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,760
in these games. So you got to find a way

994
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,239
that makes sense, that's fair, that still keeps the integrity

995
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,880
of these games, still keeps the games alive, but makes

996
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,599
it so it can't actually hurt you. And it'll be

997
00:45:52,639 --> 00:45:55,000
interesting to see how they problem solve that. Yeah, it's

998
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,719
gonna be interesting to see how they problem solve that.

999
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:05,559
Or sure, look in in today telling you it's only

1000
00:46:05,559 --> 00:46:08,440
amount of time before someone says er team's not gonna

1001
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,159
play in a conference championship. Notre Dame says it's not

1002
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,119
the CFP, We're not going to pop tarts, not gonna

1003
00:46:14,119 --> 00:46:14,840
play BYU.

1004
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,119
Speaker 8: No, I believe they were scared to catch that ling

1005
00:46:17,119 --> 00:46:21,519
get exposed. That's just my personal opinion as well. You

1006
00:46:21,519 --> 00:46:24,440
can say, oh, we compete for national championships, all right,

1007
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,400
Guys getting into it with Governor Cox, the last time

1008
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,000
you actually won one was nineteen eighty eight. No, you

1009
00:46:30,039 --> 00:46:31,559
were in it last year, but when was the last

1010
00:46:31,559 --> 00:46:34,360
time you won one? Like, it's not about competing, brother,

1011
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,519
it's about winning it. Yep, gotta take it to the

1012
00:46:36,559 --> 00:46:38,559
crib because guess what, bo you competed in the Big

1013
00:46:38,599 --> 00:46:40,599
twelve title in their first three years?

1014
00:46:40,599 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 4: Did they win it? No?

1015
00:46:41,639 --> 00:46:45,519
Speaker 8: So that's just being objective. But that's what's gonna happen, Brett.

1016
00:46:45,519 --> 00:46:48,320
You're gonna continue to have that where people now are

1017
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,440
going to take it the extreme of forget bowl games. Now,

1018
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,119
we're not going to participate in conference championships. And I

1019
00:46:54,119 --> 00:46:56,039
agree with Parker, you should be pled. They should be

1020
00:46:56,079 --> 00:46:59,400
pled as BOYU, why play in it? Why does it

1021
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,480
hurt you? Kansas State niais dead already got a five

1022
00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:05,840
hundred thousand dollars fine for not accepting bowl invitations. What

1023
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,679
is the punishment for not going to a conference championship?

1024
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,639
I'd be curious to know. And Brett your mark should

1025
00:47:11,639 --> 00:47:13,320
start thinking about that because you're on the verge of

1026
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,920
that with BYU now, b Yu, I don't think it's

1027
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,159
going to be like or to Dame and do those

1028
00:47:18,159 --> 00:47:19,880
other things because I don't believe that's who they are

1029
00:47:20,039 --> 00:47:21,960
the brand, but you're going to start to see that

1030
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,320
from OU Alabama, other people. All people are going to

1031
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,519
do that. And now I'm interested to know that if

1032
00:47:27,559 --> 00:47:29,920
Nordo Dame would have stayed in Miami wouldn't have or

1033
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,079
what happened. And this is how I know Miami was

1034
00:47:32,119 --> 00:47:34,239
not banking on them getting to the college football playoffs.

1035
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,719
You know why Keilan Marrion was at his house and

1036
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:37,800
posted on his Instagram.

1037
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 4: I still follow him. They did not have a watch party.

1038
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 8: They did not, he posted on his Instagram, because they

1039
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,079
didn't think they were getting in.

1040
00:47:44,679 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 2: Dang.

1041
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 8: I don't think they thought that because they didn't go

1042
00:47:47,559 --> 00:47:49,480
to the title game, thought their playoff hopes were over.

1043
00:47:50,039 --> 00:47:52,480
So look, and that's just me speculating, right, I don't

1044
00:47:52,519 --> 00:47:54,159
know they could have had it, but I don't think

1045
00:47:54,199 --> 00:47:56,519
that they did. I know Boau probably had one, probably

1046
00:47:56,519 --> 00:47:58,039
thinking that they were going to get in being eleven

1047
00:47:58,079 --> 00:47:58,320
to two.

1048
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,639
Speaker 10: So I think it's a really weird that ESPN sent

1049
00:48:01,679 --> 00:48:05,519
correspondence to a whole bunch of and they didn't send

1050
00:48:05,599 --> 00:48:07,280
anybody to b Yu Run.

1051
00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:10,639
Speaker 4: They sent someone to Duke Duke.

1052
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,199
Speaker 10: And look, I understand a little bit, a tiny bit

1053
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,920
because they're like, well, technically they are ACC champions, so

1054
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,239
I under show they have some right to it, but

1055
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:20,559
not so.

1056
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 4: But the fact that they didn't send anyone to provo.

1057
00:48:24,079 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 10: Again, it's we don't know that there is a hard

1058
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:33,840
conspiracy from ESPN towards non SEC Big ten schools.

1059
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,119
Speaker 4: But when you do things like that, it makes it

1060
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,559
really hard to quiet the conspiracy theorists. So the question is,

1061
00:48:39,559 --> 00:48:42,639
is the problem the SEC? Or is the problem ESPN?

1062
00:48:43,599 --> 00:48:46,000
Seen a couple of those copems and.

1063
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 8: That's not me saying that that's not a bortleshale Round

1064
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,519
said that that's from what I've seen on Twitter. So

1065
00:48:49,639 --> 00:48:52,880
was the problem the SEC is the problem ESPN? Because

1066
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:58,960
it seems like Fox is promoting YU more than ESPN is. Anyway,

1067
00:48:59,039 --> 00:49:01,199
let's finish up with the last couple of things. Uh,

1068
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:02,960
let's let's get you out of here on this. Actually,

1069
00:49:03,039 --> 00:49:05,400
Tanner the final thing, and I think this is a

1070
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,320
very good question. I was asked by Kevin Reynolds, a

1071
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,119
Solid Tribune Tanner, as a senior, you've seen this program grow.

1072
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,800
Where do you think you need to grow the most

1073
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,760
now to close the gap with the top five team?

1074
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,159
In the country, so next time you're in the Big

1075
00:49:18,159 --> 00:49:20,199
twelve Championship, it's a different result.

1076
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:23,559
Speaker 11: You know, I think we're I think we're headed in

1077
00:49:23,599 --> 00:49:27,280
the right direction. I think we've Clonie's laid down an

1078
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:36,719
amazing culture and that's deeply rooted into you know, our program.

1079
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,199
You know, I think we're I think we're headed in

1080
00:49:38,199 --> 00:49:41,920
the right direction. I think we've Clonie's laid down an

1081
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:47,159
amazing culture and that's deeply rooted into you know, our program,

1082
00:49:47,199 --> 00:49:49,599
and that's going to continue to bring forth great fruit.

1083
00:49:51,079 --> 00:49:51,199
Speaker 2: Uh.

1084
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,679
Speaker 11: We're we're capitalizing on a lot of momentum from our

1085
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,239
success and recruiting, bringing in amazing players. We've got great

1086
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,440
players in our locker room now, but the the players

1087
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,599
who are coming in and who are going to continue

1088
00:50:02,639 --> 00:50:06,079
to wear the y and carry that legacy, I know

1089
00:50:06,639 --> 00:50:07,159
we'll do that.

1090
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 6: We'll do an amazing job doing that.

1091
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 11: So I think as we as we really understand our identity.

1092
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 6: Of who we are and what by.

1093
00:50:16,079 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 11: Football will be in this conference, I think we're gonna

1094
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,079
have a lot of confidence and continue to have a

1095
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:23,360
lot of success in the way that we play. I

1096
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:29,159
envision future matchups with with Texas Tech being just like this,

1097
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,599
like they those games will mean a lot because they're

1098
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,119
they're a great program and they're going to continue to

1099
00:50:34,199 --> 00:50:37,760
have great players and great coaches. So going forward, this

1100
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,239
will be an amazing matchup for years to come. But

1101
00:50:40,519 --> 00:50:43,320
just really excited for the future and knowing that Kilanie's

1102
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,880
the guy at the top leading the boys.

1103
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, Kilanie's at the top leading the boys. He brings

1104
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:50,800
up a good point though, and this is a good

1105
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:55,719
question to ask because talent, I think, does correlate with winning,

1106
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,320
and you've seen that with Kilani and Bau being what

1107
00:50:58,559 --> 00:51:01,400
twenty two and four now you see that it has

1108
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,079
correlated for sure, and it is definitely propelled Bau and

1109
00:51:05,079 --> 00:51:07,360
giving him a bunch of momentum bread But it's more

1110
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,480
to be done. When you talk about competing now for

1111
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,000
a conference championship, to go to the college football playoffs,

1112
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,920
all of that matters. Signing the POOLA twins eight four

1113
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,920
stars are part of this class. That matters that that

1114
00:51:21,039 --> 00:51:23,239
has to be You have to have the talent, You

1115
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,480
have to have high level athletes to be able to

1116
00:51:25,519 --> 00:51:27,920
come in and compete. And for me, the question that

1117
00:51:28,079 --> 00:51:30,519
was asked and the results that have been done, Bau

1118
00:51:30,599 --> 00:51:33,400
is still overachieved. In my opinion, I still think they have.

1119
00:51:34,119 --> 00:51:36,599
But I also think that the talent that you have

1120
00:51:36,679 --> 00:51:38,400
coming in is going to help you. You're telling me

1121
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,559
Ryer Lions is not the quarterback to win you a

1122
00:51:40,559 --> 00:51:42,440
big top title. Not saying that Bear back Mark cant.

1123
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,000
I don't want to have that argument and people to

1124
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,280
think I'm down in Bear. But can he Can a

1125
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,800
guy like Bear really lead you to that? I think

1126
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,719
a guy like Writer is going to be able to

1127
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,840
do that. I think so, I really think.

1128
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:54,559
Speaker 4: I think Bear can.

1129
00:51:54,679 --> 00:51:58,199
Speaker 10: The issue just has to be what I've always said

1130
00:51:58,199 --> 00:52:00,960
it was, which is your quarterback can't be your RB two.

1131
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,079
Speaker 4: Your quarterback just cannot be your RB two point. That's

1132
00:52:04,199 --> 00:52:05,159
that's you can't.

1133
00:52:05,159 --> 00:52:07,159
Speaker 10: You won a lot of games that way, and I

1134
00:52:07,199 --> 00:52:09,599
command a rod in this offense for doing that. But

1135
00:52:09,639 --> 00:52:13,199
you've got to find other ways and other means of

1136
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:17,519
finding yards and points outside of Well, we've given Bob

1137
00:52:17,559 --> 00:52:19,159
all to LJ a lot, so I guess we're giving

1138
00:52:19,159 --> 00:52:21,760
it to Bear. Like I just I think you have

1139
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,239
to get a little bit more running back depth in

1140
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:25,840
order for Bear to be a big part of your

1141
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:26,280
run game.

1142
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 8: He can't be your main source of rush Yards. Look,

1143
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,400
we have Brandon Heffman on it to discuss his class.

1144
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,239
Kawe Ocanna. He's a guy that can help you win

1145
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,599
you a Big twelve title, Sealefini a Latini Justice breakaway

1146
00:52:37,679 --> 00:52:39,000
lockdown corner from which year?

1147
00:52:39,199 --> 00:52:39,519
Speaker 4: Legend?

1148
00:52:39,519 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 8: Glasker that speed you want to talk about speed? That

1149
00:52:42,039 --> 00:52:44,800
speak can help you on special teams. Devon Ekka, that's

1150
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,559
a running back that can help you win, Adam Bywater,

1151
00:52:48,039 --> 00:52:50,880
Ty Getchi, Brock Harris know he's going on a mission,

1152
00:52:51,039 --> 00:52:55,000
but all of these Antonio Johnson, Graham Livingston, I feel

1153
00:52:55,039 --> 00:52:57,199
Graham can step in fulfill the network roll of what

1154
00:52:57,199 --> 00:52:59,480
Parker's doing. Graham Livingston, I think is one of the

1155
00:52:59,519 --> 00:53:02,519
slept on recruits in this class. I think Graham's gonna

1156
00:53:02,519 --> 00:53:04,840
play great. Abu, I really think so. I think Graham's

1157
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,599
gonna play great. Braxton Lindsey sixty three to two thirty

1158
00:53:07,639 --> 00:53:11,159
defensive end out of Arkansas, Emmi Cologne sixty four defensive

1159
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:15,519
end Rider Lions. Bear can't help you, but like you said,

1160
00:53:15,559 --> 00:53:18,559
not being RB two, But I think Bear. I think

1161
00:53:18,599 --> 00:53:21,199
Bear can get you to a Big twelve title game

1162
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,280
and take it home. He's already done it once. As

1163
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,000
a freshman. What do you do when he gets older?

1164
00:53:25,159 --> 00:53:27,239
But you think of high level talent, not saying that

1165
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,639
Bear is not a high level recruit.

1166
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 2: He was.

1167
00:53:29,079 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 8: He had offers too, but Bear Ryder. Those are the

1168
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,599
type of quarterbacks you need. Lo Petti Moala that's the

1169
00:53:33,639 --> 00:53:36,320
anterior defensive line. You need to be disruptive. Phula twins,

1170
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,440
that's the wide receive you need to be at a

1171
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,719
to bring down premier catches. Jaren is gonna be able

1172
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,000
to do that for you. Terrence Sirian is gonna be

1173
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,119
able to do that for you. Bob Mulatala is gonna

1174
00:53:46,119 --> 00:53:48,719
be the guy blocking Keenan Pula. He sounds like he

1175
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,920
might play safety. That's the guy you need there making

1176
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,239
plays the one hand catch that made sports center Jack

1177
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,920
Stanners the offensive lineman you need. You need those guys.

1178
00:53:57,079 --> 00:53:59,000
And this is just a twenty twenty six class. I

1179
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,519
didn't even remind people by guys from the twenty twenty

1180
00:54:01,519 --> 00:54:03,400
five class and that have gone on missions that will

1181
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:03,719
be back.

1182
00:54:04,039 --> 00:54:06,559
Speaker 4: There's a bunch of dudes, a bunch of dudes.

1183
00:54:06,599 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 8: So this is a building point, a stepping stone, ba

1184
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,400
using the year three. Remind people, this is just year three.

1185
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,559
So relax. Yes, disappointed that they didn't get it done,

1186
00:54:14,599 --> 00:54:16,519
but they got there. You know what, the Texas Tech,

1187
00:54:16,519 --> 00:54:18,159
how long did it take them to get to this point?

1188
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,039
Took him way longer than the bou So for the

1189
00:54:20,039 --> 00:54:23,440
fact that Kalina got that extension. Resource has now been allocated.

1190
00:54:23,599 --> 00:54:25,559
He's gonna be here forever. This is one of the

1191
00:54:25,559 --> 00:54:28,920
best recruited class. Sit back, relax and the great in

1192
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,800
the words of the great Ken the Hawk Carrolson, that

1193
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:35,079
did White Sox baseball, Sit back, relax, strap it down.

1194
00:54:35,119 --> 00:54:37,639
White Sox baseball coming your way, Sit back, relaxed, strapping

1195
00:54:37,639 --> 00:54:40,360
down BYU football is coming your way for the future.

1196
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 4: It's a team of the future in the Big Twelve.

1197
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,199
Speaker 10: I firmly believe that bro Texas Tech has been a

1198
00:54:44,199 --> 00:54:47,280
member of the Big Twelve conference since its inception in

1199
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:48,480
nineteen ninety six, so.

1200
00:54:48,639 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 8: When I was born, so twenty nine years almost. They

1201
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,079
are just now winning a Big Twelve champ and you've

1202
00:54:54,119 --> 00:54:56,679
gone to one of your thirty year Yeah, it's look,

1203
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,360
this suck guy is not It doesn't make what happened

1204
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,559
this season with the playoff committee suck any les.

1205
00:55:01,599 --> 00:55:04,760
Speaker 4: Oh no, you can teaches that However, both things can

1206
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,679
be true. You reached the Big Twelve title in your.

1207
00:55:07,559 --> 00:55:11,079
Speaker 10: Third year in the Big Twelve, and look again, I

1208
00:55:11,159 --> 00:55:13,599
remind the people remember how you felt two years ago

1209
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:15,719
at the end of that season in the Big Twelve,

1210
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,199
your first year in conference, and it sucked.

1211
00:55:18,559 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 4: So again, how you feel right now is valid.

1212
00:55:21,679 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 10: The way that BYU got snubbed basically from the playoffs,

1213
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,119
it sucks. I guess is the will probably never happen

1214
00:55:28,159 --> 00:55:30,280
again because I think the playoffs are going to be

1215
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,559
expanding to at least sixteen teams by next season.

1216
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:33,599
Speaker 4: We shall see.

1217
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:39,559
Speaker 10: But there's a lot of good to take away from

1218
00:55:39,639 --> 00:55:40,199
this season.

1219
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 4: It is a lot of good to take away, but

1220
00:55:43,039 --> 00:55:43,679
the not good.

1221
00:55:44,039 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 8: I guess what you need to watch out for is

1222
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,920
if you get into an accident, you need to partner

1223
