Speaker 1: Is something special for you.
Speaker 2: It's time for Cougar Sports, part of Utah's esp and
the radio network. Here's your host, Ben Critical.
Speaker 3: Welcome into Cougar Sports here on one of three nine
and ninety eight three ESB and the fan probably the
three man. We were here filling in a little bit
for Ben Crittle. I'll introduced my co host here momentarily.
He will join us later in the show, tending to
some personal matters. It's not easy, guys when you own
a business and you have to also do a radio show.
Speaker 4: So Ben, attending to some of those matters.
Speaker 3: You will join us, hopefully in the second hour, if
not definitely the third.
Speaker 4: Gonna keep it locked in right on.
Speaker 3: Your one to three point nine and ninety three FM
dolls if you're in Utah County one of three point nine.
I want to say this again. I said it yesterday.
I'm gonna open up with it again today. Some people
might not know where we're at. They might not know,
and that's okay, but I'm gonna tell you right now.
If you're on the nine to sixty Legacy AM dial,
switch over to the one O three point nine. I
was with the listener in the car yesterday we switched
over and it was fantastic.
Speaker 4: He said, that's a cleaner listen.
Speaker 3: Some people might not know, so if you're in Utah County,
if you don't know what county you're in, shame on
you look it up. One O three point nine is
Utah County. And if you're in Salt Lake, Davis A Weaver,
that's ninety eight point three. Pretty simple. All you gotta
do is go test it. If you hear something else
on ninety eight point three that tells you you're in
Utah County, but you still need to figure that out
because it's a shame on you keep.
Speaker 4: Us locked in.
Speaker 3: Whether you also might be on the fan app as well,

Speaker 4: Believe in BYU.
Speaker 3: We got Brett always bringing and the hitman Hammer Brett.
Speaker 4: How are we doing today, oh.
Speaker 5: Ron, I gotta tell you I haven't been to school.
I've been in school for a while now and fantasy
the listeners. No, I wasn't school. I wasn't really there.
In fact, you and I think actually had a couple
of classes together, but we know because again I wasn't there.
Speaker 6: However, I do remember being in school, and you either
it was either when you had an exam you had
to go to the testing center, or for me, mostly
it was more what I had to dig project I
knew was due the next day and I hadn't started yet,
and I felt a lot of pent up anxiety, and
I was a little nervous and just unsure of what
was gonna happen the next day.
Speaker 5: Or maybe if you've ever started a new job.
Speaker 6: That kind of anxiety that comes with what is tomorrow
going to look like? That is how I have been
feeling for the last twenty four hours and how I
will be feeling until the game clock hits zero tomorrow. Man,
I am feeling real nervous, real anxious about this game BYU.
Speaker 5: In Texas Tech, and and I'm.
Speaker 6: I don't want to say I'm ready for it to
be over, because it's gonna be quite the experience whatever happens.
But I got to tell you, I'm feeling super anxious
about this thing tomorrow makes me feel like back when
I was in school.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you got a big time game, the butterflies come.
Maybe it's a good butterfly and nervous butterfly. But I
wonder how many of the BYU athletes will be juiced
or will be uh, you know, nervous. I guess tomorrow,
excited to play in the big moment. How many of
you Cougar Nation are you? I guess that's what I
should ask because you go Disney Question of the day.
G Man will hate this if he's listening to the show,
but he doesn't like the mouse. But I should ask
a Disney question inside out? Are you nervous, happy, sad, frustrated, anxiety?
Which emotion do you have in relation for its bau's
matchup tomorrow against Texas Tech. But it sounds like you're
more on the nervous anxiety side.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's definitely where I'm at. Because the more game
previews I watch and things like that, the more I
feel like this is maybe BYU's biggest regular season game ever.
I mean, look, BYU has never been in a position
where the compete. We know it's probably the biggest game
ever because we know, they've never been a top ten
team against the top ten team.
Speaker 5: They've never had a top ten matchup.
Speaker 6: They've also never had a position like this prior to
being in the Big Twelve, where they were competing in
a game that would probably determine whether or not they
went to a power for conference championship, and therefore would
determine whether or not they made a playoff that puts
them on the path to go to a national championship.
And I know all the old heads are gonna come
for me, but I'm just saying, the Knights and eighty
four national championship did not require you to play in
a playoff to get there, so things are a little
bit different. This is maybe the biggest game in the
history of BYU, and I'm all for people picking against BYU,
but it feels like that every version of the national
media believes that BYU has not even not going to
win this game, but that they have no chance to
win this game. And so for from that standpoint, I
just really don't know what to expect tomorrow. But I
even though subconsciously I feel anxious, I do feel as
though BYU will not let me down.
Speaker 3: Yeah, BYU hasn't let you down. The season eight no
so far, got a lot of good wins, got that
went on the road against Colorado, started off fourteen nothing,
came back and won that from twenty four to twenty one.
Then you went on the road to Arizona beat them
in double overtime thirty three to twenty seven. Look, it's
this is not gonna be an easy game, not at all.
But BYU has been able to prevail, I mean spank
Diowa State put the belt to booty in the second half,
outscored them thirty one to three. So look, at the
end of the day, Kaloni Sataki's gonna have these guys ready.
So there's not really an emotional inside out to describe,
you know, excited.
Speaker 4: You just have joy, which is you know, that's how
I'm feeling. It's just a lot of joy.
Speaker 3: I think the Cougars are gonna be able to get
it done and Levey can shock the world, especially for
those guys in the national media.
Speaker 4: Josh Pate, you don't even watch tape?
Speaker 3: How dare you speak on BYU and you don't watch
You don't check no type of tape. And if you
just admit to it, Hopefully by you can make you
et cro Joel Klatt, you too, at least you do
check tape. You do check tape. You're on the A
team over there at Fox. But hopefully they make Joel.
It will be very funny.
Speaker 4: H Brad. I want to ask you this.
Speaker 3: So if Joel Klatt, if you what you beat sexist Tech,
what would Joel Clatt have to say about BYU and
his show next week?
Speaker 4: That's what I'm really curious about. I really like BYU.
Speaker 3: And then you can see the clip as edited Brett,
because we know all about how Towder use Premiere goes
on to the next clip and doesn't say anything. What
will he have to say if BYU beats Texas Tech nothing?
Because I mean it's starting to get real obvious about
the national media. If BAU takes down Tech and they
still have nothing to say.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can tell you exactly how that clip is
gonna go. Man, Bo, you played a really great game
on Saturday. Okay, now, so on to Miami, Miami, what
they did this weekend? And if Joe Clatt. I think
I think in Joel Klatt's mind, BYU just doesn't exist.
Speaker 5: I think sometimes I don't I don't.
Speaker 6: Again, I still don't really know what he's all about,
why it feels so personal, But it does feel as
though he doesn't want to talk to about BYU unless
he absolutely has to, and I think that's the case
for a couple of guys. The problem then becomes when
the college football slate isn't that crazy this week, and
I mean, there's some good games, but there's certainly no
other games than any other conference that are between two
top ten opponents. So none of these guys who already
have a are predisposed to not liking BYU. They're in
this weird spot where they have to talk about it,
and so Joel Klatt I think will be obviously eating
Crow on Monday, But I really don't want to get
ahead of anything because this game still has to play
out tomorrow and I'm not one hundred percent sure on
how it's.
Speaker 5: Going to go.
Speaker 6: But there will be a lot of analysts eating Crow
on Monday if BYU wins this thing.
Speaker 3: Look, let's get to the rest of our ESPN the
fans starting lineup. Shehan j Roj is gonna join us
in the four to thirty segment to discuss this. He's
actually down there and Lubbock. I think he's actually on campus,
so we're gonna hear from Shehan. I mean, this is
a naturally televised game when you are able to get
a national writer for CBS Sports on the line, and
we've had many national and local people that will join
us today and have joined us all week. If you're
missing any interviews, again, always go download on the podcast.
But that just tells me everything I need to know
of how much is revolved around this game.
Speaker 4: The committee respects you.
Speaker 3: Everybody's watching, So don't go embarrass yourself hashtag another inside
out character.
Speaker 4: Don't have embarrassment Saturday around you know.
Speaker 3: Two pm. You don't want that to happen. Go out
there and get your butt spank. But here's the rest

Speaker 3: He'll tell us how to pronounce the name at the
end of that segment correctly.
Speaker 4: In the four o five, we'll catch up with Nuci.
This is a guy. Just to give you guys a
little bit of a tease. He got hurt and he's.
Speaker 3: Gonna tell you what specifically the injury was. And he's
looked great. Brad, He's looked fantastic because this level of
injury that he discusses, even if it's a partial tear,
like you're not supposed to be able to be able
to move like that.
Speaker 4: So Nucy is a good player. I can't wait to.
Speaker 3: See how he is fully healthy, even you know he
did go through a little bang and bruise at the
beginning of the season. But Lucy man with that good
hair in the pass rush, he's a good asset in
the defensive end room Brett, so we'll hear from him
at four h five.
Speaker 4: As I mentioned, Schehan j rodger Ford.
Speaker 3: Thirty, Mark Durant, the duranchela color analyst for bou men's basketball,
will join us at five oh five and then we'll

Speaker 4: Okay Brett, let's go ahead and get caught up.
Speaker 3: This is Joey McGuire joining the Big twelve studios early
to discuss the matchup between number seven BYU and number
eight Texas Tech.
Speaker 8: Pready begun. He is Taylor mccaguy. I'm Pete Souza. A
lot of times the host will say, we got a
jam pack show for you, we got a jam pack show.
We've got a jam packed show YU and Texas Tech.
That is noon Eastern time on ABC. Before that, of course,
ESPN's College Game Day will be there. Kalani Satake looks
like he's walking out to the octagon to take on
Joey McGuire in Texas Tech, and for very good reason.
Speaker 5: This is a heavyweight fight.
Speaker 9: It's gonna be a massive matchup. All the eyes of
college football will start their day at College Game Day
with this game and the biggest match up for Texas
Tech since that showdown against Texas in two thousand and
eight at home there in Loveck. This is a huge
matchup with championship implications in loveck between BYU and Texas Tech.
Speaker 8: Speaking of Texas Tech, we welcome in Texas Tech head
coach Joey maguire. Coach, thanks for joining us. Huge game
this weekend. How you doing.
Speaker 1: Man, Thanks for having me. I appreciate being on the show.
Doing good. You know, we had a good Tuesday. It's
crazy around here right now.
Speaker 10: I mean, I bet there's one thousand tenths wrapping around
the stadium.
Speaker 1: I walked out of here last time at nine point fifteen.
My truck is.
Speaker 10: Probably forty yards away from the front door, and I
got in my truck at ten forty six, So.
Speaker 1: That kind of tells you how many pitchers and autographs
and all kinds of stuff that I did. Because our
students are jacked up for this game.
Speaker 9: The coach, we want to dig into that game in
just a second. But last night, the first round of
the college football rankings come out, and the Big Twelve
has three teams in the rankings. And not just three teams,
but the Big Twelve has all three teams ahead of
anybody from the ACC From your perspective, what does that
say just about the health overall of the league.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's pretty incredible the level of football
that's being played right now in the Big Twelve. You know,
and again I was biased last year. I thought that
we should have gotten two in. You know, I thought
b YU should have been in the playoffs. They beat sm.
Speaker 10: U head to head at SMU, and so hopefully people
were seeing that the Big Twelve we played great football
every single week. You're gonna have somebody knock somebody off
just because I think there's great players, and then there
are great coaches.
Speaker 1: In this league.
Speaker 3: Well, coach, you're talking right here, bred, I want to
comment right quick on this, he thought, Joey mcgrade, this
is Texas teach, a coach. He said, I thought by
you should have got in last year. They beat SMU
head to head. Brett, this is discussion you and I
had all last year. We referred to a lot this
season that BYU should have been in, but they weren't.
And look, I get it. Four way tie. They controlled
their own destiny. FUM with the bag lost to Kansas
at home. That really can't happen. Lost Arizon the still
on the road. Can't let that happen. But that was
the best team they went onto the College Football Playoff
and took Texas down to the wire.
Speaker 4: So okay, I understand that.
Speaker 3: But there you go, and maybe it's coaches saying maybe
he's having some gamesmanship. Are you buying or selling what
Joey McGuire is saying right there? Is he just saying
that because of the matchup? Or do you actually believe
Joey believes by You should have gotten in last year?
Speaker 6: Brett, No, he definitely does. He said this as well
as his presser on Monday, And I think just we
say this every week, right, like these coaches they really
respect Kalanie Sataki. Brent Brennant said it, Matt Campbell said it,
now Joey McGuire is saying it. It says a lot
a lot about who Kilani is that all of these
coaches openly give him respect in outlets and scenarios in
which they don't have to. They don't have to say
anything nice about BYU or about Kilanie Sataki. But every
week we get this, and I think it just speaks
to who Kilani is and via that you hear people
talk all the time about this BYU culture, love and learn,
humble and hungry.
Speaker 5: You hear the players say it.
Speaker 6: But you may have the question of what is this substance,
what is this really? Well, I can't really quantify it
for you exactly what Kilani's culture is like if I
had to just really get down to the nitty gritty
of it, because I'm not in there, I'm not in
the locker room. But what I can tell you is
by you successful and Kialani Sataki is making an impact
on every single one of these coaches in the conference,
so much so that now Joey McGuire twice this week
has gone on record saying he thinks, boy, you should
have gotten into the playoffs last year, keeping in mind
by You didn't even play in their conference championship, which
just goes to show you just how good these coaches,
and specifically Joey McGuire believes BYU is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, these Big twelve teams are no Joe guys, every
one of them. I mean ap Andrew Peterson said this
yesterday on the show. If you missed it, I'll read away.
He said, TCU is still a good team.
Speaker 5: Even if you.
Speaker 3: Beat Texas Tech, you know you got TCU next week.
Speaker 4: Even if you lose the Texas.
Speaker 3: Tech, TCU six and two overall, like they're no slouch.
You know there's six and two in conference play. You
lose to Texas Tech tomorrow, you lose to TCU next week. Look,
not only you behind Texas Tech, now you're on TCU
like you would be in the same position last year.
So that's why this is deja vu, and the by
you loses this game, they're gonna a lot of fans
that are gonna always make fun of me for my
chicken little reference.
Speaker 4: The sky will definitely be following.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 3: I've heard multiple people guess we've had on the show,
they're in a good spot if they lose one game,
like yeah, but if TCU wins and coming in next week,
unless you're guaranteeing that will win, I just I don't know.
I think it's always good to focus on the game
in front of you. You win that game, it makes
it easier. Like I mentioned before, I'm not trying to
give any losses earlier and predict that out. Gregor Belt
said that yesterday he's not willing to go that far either.
But you beat Texas Tech, you beat TCU, that puts
you in a better driver's seat to get into that
title game than not so big important matchup tomorrowl College
game did Let's get back to the sound.
Speaker 4: This is Joey mcgarre breaking down.
Speaker 3: The matchup between BYU yesterday in the Big Twelve studios.
Speaker 4: Let's get back to.
Speaker 8: It about the great players and coaches in this league.
Your team has displayed great balance on both sides of
the ball. I mean, your defense ranked in the top
five in the country. Your offense putting up points per
game top five in the country. Can you speak to
that balance a little bit and how you've been able
to lean on that to such great success this year.
Speaker 10: But you know, even before the transfer portal opened last year,
I felt like we won the offseason from the standpoint.
You know, we added two brand new coordinators, sheill Wood
on defense and Mac left Which on offense, and man
I just through the interview.
Speaker 1: Process for those guys, man I just.
Speaker 10: Fell in love with what they wanted to do and
their thought process and what they believe in.
Speaker 1: And then we added some great players and we were
able to get some great players to come back to
Texas Tech. And you know we talk about all the time.
Speaker 10: Hey, if we give up a score on defense, then
you got to answer a score with a score. So
it's this complimentary football, and our players had bought into that.
Speaker 1: I mean they talked about it like ever.
Speaker 10: Before I ever get to them, they're already talking about, Hey,
thank the offense or thank the defense.
Speaker 1: What they're doing.
Speaker 4: Texas Tech Brett is the most balanced team in the
Big twelve.
Speaker 3: I said it, Yeah, I am. I'm going to give
them that credit. They've earned that right if they're the
most balanced team. I know they have one loss on
the resume, but they are the most balanced team in
the Big twelve offense offensively and defensively, no doubt. I
know Arizona State got the better of them with the
backup quarterback, but look, I mean they ranked number one
of defensive grades and then number eighteenth offensive grades Pro
Football Focus. We have Max Shadwick on the showfront of
the program. Look, this team is very scary. They can
get after it at you on the defensive side of
the ball with scooping scores and interceptions and force fumbles
and making you really earn it. And then offensively they
can push the ball vertical. I mean they're number one
in big plays vertically down the field. They got three
receivers that are a problem. They got a quarterback that
can throw it out. He does use his legs, maybe
not as much, he is still mobile. So I mean, look,
all the numbers and metrics are in favor of Texas Tech.
But you know what that makes it for Brett if
a team is able to go out there and.
Speaker 4: Beat you and make you one dimensional.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and look, I go back and forth with this
Texas Tech team for a couple of reasons, and I'll
get into it. This is a team that did lose
to Arizona State, a four and two Arizona State team
at the time. And this is also a team I know,
like the Utah game I think was also telling. What
I think is most impressive about this Red Raider offense
is the fact that they've been bouncing back and forth
between quarterbacks and still been able to play with a
high level of success. That to me, is really impressive.
Ron we know Will Hammon's come in. We've seen Baron
Morton play. I'm trying to remember the name of their
third stringer. His name escapes me. But he's also played
some minutes and amongst all of that, you really haven't
seen a drop off, which is unreal because Ron Let's
being honest.
Speaker 5: If BYU had to play one.
Speaker 6: Through three at quarterback, never knowing who was going to
be next that I don't know that they would have
the same level of success that Texas Tech is having
right now, nor the loan the success success that they
are having right now. In BYU, we've seen Colorado. Colorado's
been rolling out three different quarterbacks. Look how that's worked
out for them. I do think Texas Tech deserves a
lot of respect for how how much continuity they've been
able to find in this offense, irrespective of who is
lining up behind the center at that quarterback position. However,
I will say, given what we saw between Texas Tech
at Arizona State and Texas Tech at Utah, I do
think Tech Arizona's Sorry, Texas Tech has shown you some
things to say. Okay, these guys, even though they are
great and maybe the best team in the Big Twelve,
they are beatable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, They're definitely beatable.
Speaker 3: I'm look, they're not gonna go No team I think
is gonna go unscathe them. People are like Ronnie just said,
bo you'd win. Look, Look, I think there's one loss
on the schedule for this BOU team. I changed my
record prediction last week and I stand out in it
of eleven to one. I really believe Kalanie Sataki can
get this team to the title game. I also said
that last year, but I believe it's very different with
what I've seen from Bear. I said that last year
with Jake, but there was I also said, look, if
he's gonna cost you a game, it's gonna come down
to him. I don't think it's gonna come down to
quarterback play. I have not seen Bear yet cost to
Byu a game. I don't think he was just gonna
do it. I don't think the offensive line, So who
is gonna what is texta Tech gonna be able to do?
Are you gonna force b YU in the turnovers? Like
if BAU were to lose this game, Brett, I don't
think it'd be to the play of the quarterback player
Bear Bachmar. I think it'd be of maybe the offensive
line not performing up the task, which they probably still
find a way to blame the quarterback. It might be
the receivers getting the ball stripped. Like I think there
there's a lot of credit that can be given to Bear,
but I don't know if Bear and a Rod necessarily
can get the blame because a Rod's had all the
pieces to the puzzles in every answer to the test
you can think about. And this is not multiple choice
of crown allowed, it's filling the blank. This is the
hardest test. This is written responses. And every time you've
asked Aaron Roderk at number forty seven to go to
work because they've performed.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I do think there is a possib bil though Ron,
that we see things change up this weekend.
Speaker 5: And here's what I mean.
Speaker 6: BYU has been going unscathed without necessarily all of their pieces.
They've been down a top three receiver, they've been down
running backs, and it really hasn't hurt them yet.
Speaker 5: I don't want this to happen.
Speaker 6: But I certainly could see it being the possibility of
maybe this is the week where all of those things
that have been working against BYU that Aaron Roderick and
Bear Bachmeyer have been able to keep at bay, maybe
those things start to rear their ugly heads. Maybe it
starts to show up that you need the run game
and it's not there. I think we could wake up
on Monday morning with fans saying this is a Roden,
this is Bear Bachmeer's fault, not because.
Speaker 5: It actually is, but simply because.
Speaker 6: There are things that have been working against BYU that
haven't shown up yet that are really out of BYU's control. Again,
like the c Only Moay injury, other things like that
that kind of puts you at a disadvantage. I think
it's possible that while BOU has been really great at
avoiding those issues so far, Texas Tech is going to
maybe expose all of your wounds and that may show
up as one this weekend.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: If it's if there's a team that's going to expose
every single wound, there's going to be Texas Tech. If
Utah couldn't get it done, then it's the Red Raiders
because look what the Red Raiders did to the youth.
So I mean, right now, you still gotta, you know,
say that Texas Tech is not maybe the best team
in the conference, but they're right up there with Bye.
You want to say, one A, one B, however you
want to play it. They they're up there, no doubt.
Let's get back to the sound Texas Tech. Joey Maguire
joins inside the Big Twelve.
Speaker 9: Talk about winning the offseason and the pieces that you
brought in. And there's been so much made of the
talent acquisition from this offseason specifically, but a lot of
teams bring in great players. Can you speak to not
just that you brought these players in, but the buy
in and clearly the culture that you've built in Lubbock
and the success that you're getting out of those portal acquisitions.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it says a lot about our culture.
I think it says a lot about our staff.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 10: Whenever I say our staff, I mean our trainers, our
strength staff, are nutritionists, our sports therapists, our administration. It
says a lot about the building as far as the
facilities that we pour into these players.
Speaker 1: And one thing that we try to do is we
try to be the same every single day no matter
what's going on.
Speaker 10: You know, they're going to get the same coaches, they're
going to get the same support staff around them, and
they don't how.
Speaker 1: Much we care about them, so that there's a huge
buy in, and you know, I think, Man, I'll tell
you I learned this a long time ago.
Speaker 10: I mean whenever I was in high school. I remember
this Soto going undefeated in our district and when we
were at the All district meeting, we're voting for the
staff of the year, and there was another team that
was a kind of traditional losing team, and a lot
of people wanted to put.
Speaker 1: That staff up for a coach of the Year. And
I appreciated what they had done, but I don't think
people account for when you have the amount of talent
you have and it's new and being able to play
at the level that you're playing at.
Speaker 10: It says a lot about the coaching staff and the
entire staff of bringing this group together and the chemistry
and care that we have for each other.
Speaker 4: I think I just want to stop here because I
think this is very powerful.
Speaker 5: I mean, and I'm.
Speaker 3: Going to flip it towards the bau side. When he
says coaches and enjoying mcguarire class aact. He's like, I'm
not talking about a coach. I'm talking about strength staff, conditioning,
sports scientists, you know, nutritionness. He's given all of those
people credit to make it happen, because look, at the
end of the day, when these players in off season
workouts in the off season are before they come, look,
the coaches take over, but when they have to get
lifts hand Brett when they have to gain muscle, gain
weight when all of that, that's that's that staff, like
that is what he's talking about. And they travel with
the team, you know, some of them. But that's the
biggest thing. So Ryan Phillis, Kobe Class and doctor Skyler Maine, like,
you got to give those guys credit for bou because
this is the healthiest I've seen BYU football.
Speaker 4: Being a long time.
Speaker 3: And even when some of the starters have gone down,
you know, let's talk about it, Jack Kelly, Isaah Glasker.
Speaker 4: You know what has happened.
Speaker 3: Other guys like a Skufusi stepped up, Max Alfred has
stepped up. There's been a bunch of people, you know,
even Celia Sarah when he got hurt, and you're starting
to see that, you know, even Tommy Prass's went down.
Speaker 4: They still got good depth in safety.
Speaker 3: Like this strength of conditioners have deserves a lot of
credit for keeping guys healthy but also developing and getting
the guys behind them that are on the roster. Like
Cla said after the I believe it was the Colorado
or you know it's the Arizona game. He said, Look,
there's a reason why we went out and got those
players who trust him reason why they're here. Basically you
paid those players or got them for a reason and performance.
So credit to those guys too on the BYU side,
because Jordy McGrath is right, those guys do a lot
of stuff and sometimes you not get all the credit
that they deserve, you know. So I think when you
look at coaching staff, you definitely need to look at
more internally, the personnel of the behind the scenes what's
going on, and not necessarily special teams coach coordinators, head coach.
Speaker 5: One hundred percent agree.
Speaker 6: The thing I took away from that listening to this
Joey maguire clip and talking about how difficult it is.
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a reality of the college football.
Speaker 6: Landscape that we live in right now, which is transfer portal,
which is big paydays to incentivize players to come.
Speaker 5: To your school.
Speaker 6: You no longer have time to like develop a culture
year over year with guys. It's an install that you
kind of have to do immediately. And I gotta be honest, Ron,
it is really hard for me to root against this
Texas Tech. It's we're in such a weird spot with
this game, right we know it has college fotball playoff
and implications.
Speaker 5: We know it has Big Twelve title implications.
Speaker 6: We know it has college football cannibalism expectations within the
conference of the Big Twelve. And I really respect what
Joey McGuire has done with this Texas Tech football team,
especially when you're hearing him talk about how tough it
is to get these guys to all buy in and
to continue to get guys to play at a high
level year in and year out, and with as tightly
contested as this game is going to be. I just
I just keep finding myself finding respect for Joey McGuire
and this Texas Tech team and obviously the guys. Ivan
Ortiz story of it all makes it really hard to
root against Texas Tech. But man, I just I have
a lot of respect for Joey McGuire and what he's
done with this program, especially with his unique story.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you don't know.
Speaker 3: Anything about what Brett mentioned is give you a little
bit more context. Ivan the barber for the Texas Tech
football team. Love that the whole football team has one barber.
Shout out to Malachai. He be hooking it up at
Blurry Boys for the BA football team. Just want to
give my barber shout out back to business and hand
Ivan's wife was hit. You know, buy a car by
a drunk driver and look, it's a tragic accident and
it's hard to That's what Brett is saying. It's hard
to root against Texas Tech in that regard of BAU fans.
You've been generous, even if you're not a BYU fan.
The you fans that also have been generous too of donation.
Everybody's helping. That's what I love about college football and sports.
It brings you together for big moments like this, to
be able to help someone else's going through a rough
time in a tragedy.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna sound off a little bit.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a little uncharacteristic and not related to sports,
but we really need to do a better job of
teaching our children how they can be better in the world.
As being a parent now, I think the biggest thing
is teaching your kids, you know, correct principles and not
you know, sheltering them. You know, you want to protect them,
but not sheltering them and letting them be adults, but
teaching them be the best adults that there possibly can
be and I know that some people like that adult beverages,
but look, you got to teach people that they can't
be get behind the will like a man and his
family was affected by like you hit somebody's daughter, you
hit somebody's wife, you hit somebody's aunt, somebody's niece. You really,
we really got to take accountability in the world and
teach people better. Like, look, if you're gonna go out
and have fun, and I'm all about having fun, but
I'm all about doing it the right way, and you
have to do it the right way. And we can't
sit back here and not voice that. And we don't
have a big platform here at ESPN the fan, but
the platform we.
Speaker 4: Do for those that listen.
Speaker 3: And it might it might not apply to b au fans,
but if there are other people who you know, listen
to the podcasts that aren't that, like you know, the
adult beverages. And this is just for the world, it's
not particularly for listeners. This is everybody a call to
action to be better. You're gonna go out there and
if you're gonna drink, if you're gonna have fun, which
I support you doing, then please, you know, uber, don't
get behind the wheel and please tell your friends and
family members hold them accountable. Don't because Ivan's story is
so unfortunate that his wife is going through this, and
you don't wishes upon your greatest enemy. So I've been
just want to say from myself, from all of our
staff and us here at ESPN, the fan, our team
here at Cougar Sports, we want to wish a speedy recovery.
Speaker 4: Thank you to the fans that have donated Brett.
Speaker 3: Last time we checked Brett as well, up to like
one hundred and fifty one hundred and sixty thousand like
dollars that have been raised to go fund me.
Speaker 4: So love that.
Speaker 3: Joey mcguarre even quote Tweedy to think in BYU fans.
So look, there's a lot of mutual respect. I think
because of this tragedy that happened to the Barber and
fans come together. I know it's BYU hate week, but
everything I've now seen online Brett is BYU fans being
praised now by Texas Tech fans and coming together. So
I think this matchup and this unfortunate event has brought
these fans actually closer together.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been so again, I don't want to say
cool to see because it's obviously a real situation where
someone is struggling. Yeah, it's been one of those tender
moments in all of college football and separating the tragedy
from the all the good that people are doing, Like
shout out to all of those people, shout out to
just the fact that, like, this is.
Speaker 5: What sports are about. Sports are about bringing people together.
Speaker 6: But I gotta tell you, man, the longer this story
goes on, the harder it is for me to root
against harder Red Raider football team because I don't want
to see I even have to watch his team lose tomorrow.
Speaker 5: But I also want to have to watch our team
lose tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Both things can be true.
Speaker 3: And they all think the story will be written tomorrow, Brett,
the story we'll be written.

Speaker 5: That being said, I did really enjoy that song.
Speaker 6: Actually, in fact, I I went ahead and added it
while we were listening to the band of the day,
So good pick.
Speaker 3: Love that banded today brought to you by Rolobbrand dot
Com is give the plug again.
Speaker 4: Okay, here's my question of the day.
Speaker 3: What are your biggest keys for BA you to take
down Texas Tech tomorrow?
Speaker 4: Brett.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna put that poll in that question out
to all the fans. What are your biggest keys for
BOU to take down Texas Tech tomorrow? I have mine, Brett.
Speaker 4: I'll bring up the caboose, but I'll start with you
biggest keys.
Speaker 6: Something Texas Tech has done that has gotten them into
problems this season is starting slow. They started slow against
Arizona State. They started slow against Utah. Now I know
technically Texas Tech did I believe score on their opening
drive or so in the beginning of that Texas of
the the Texas Tech Utah game, But after that they
had a tough time getting on the scoreboard. And I
don't believe they scored in the second or third quarter.
It a lot of most of it came in the
bulk of the fourth quarter. And then in this Arizona game,
Arizona State game, they also didn't score until middle of
the second quarter.
Speaker 5: So in both of Texas Tech's closest.
Speaker 6: Games this season, they have struggled to really get points
on the board early. If EYU wants to beat the
Texas Tech Red Raiders, they have to continue that trend
of keeping Texas Tech offense outside of the end zone,
and then I think eventually this bou offense will find
a way to get in. The other thing they have
to do, and this kind of goes along with that, though,
is you've got to make Baron Morton uncomfortable for a
couple of reasons. Number One, we know he's been injured
quite a bit this season, and we don't wish injury
on anybody. But if you can hit Baron Morton enough
to make him uncomfortable with whatever he has going on,
you can turn him into some turnover worthy plays PFF grades.
When Baron Morton is in a clean pocket, he's elite.
When he's in a dirty pocket, he struggles big time.
He's night and Day. He's Doctor Jekyl, mister Hyde. He
is a completely different quarterback when he's clean as opposed
to when he's pressured. But man, when he's clean, he
is good. So those are the things you have to do. Obviously,
we know what this Texas Tech run game is all about.
It's probably it's they got running backs on level with LJ.
Speaker 5: Martin, So you're gonna have to slow those guys down.
Speaker 6: But getting Bear and Morton uncomfortable and keeping this Texas
Tech offense out of the end zone.
Speaker 5: Early is gonna be big keys for BAU to get
a win tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Love the keys of the game. I agree with you.
Speaker 3: You do got to keep them on the en zone.
That's actually one of my keys. I'll give you four,
not necessarily an order, but just how I wrote them down.
Here's the first one. You gotta survive the pass rush, Brett.
I think that's the first thing my keys. If you
don't survive the pass rush, if the offensive line, if
the boys up front are winning in the trenches, you're
gonna get Bear killed. Like I mean, they rank first
nationally defensive efficiency, like, they're dominant on early down. So By,
you have to be able to win on first down.
You can't let Texas Tech puts into a second and
long and then you're forced to throw the ball. Then
you're in third along.
Speaker 4: So you gotta by.
Speaker 3: You have to win, survive the pass rush, boys up front,
and they have to win on first down. That's the
that's my first key. Second key is you gotta turn
them over. You gotta play the turnover game, like the
path to victory is forcing Texas Tech to take field
goals BYU has very good red zone defense. They tighten
it up and on third and long, you really make
the Red Raiders get points, forcing the good points. They
struggle at special teams, which is key number four. I
hate to jump down at to but intertwin to intertwine
in a little bit. Is you gotta make sure that
special teams is on point, Bratt. You gotta make sure
that you're forcing the field goal kicker who struggled to
take long field goals and miss. That's gonna give you
a competitive advantage. And I guess to jump down to
more special teams, you need a special teams touchdown. I
think this is the game where you saw it in
the Portland State game, Jack Kelly, a return the block
field goal attempt. Look, you gotta return a block punt.
You gotta return a punt, kickoff, well, a kickoff return
or a punt to you like, somebody has to get
into the end zone.
Speaker 4: What it'd be Cody Hagen, whe did that be Parker Kingston?
Speaker 3: Whether they block one, somebody has to return a special
teams play for a touchdown. I think you gotta be
plus one in the special teams category and then plus
two in turnover margin, whether that's a force frombo or interception.
You need to make Baron Mordon turn a football over because,
like you mentioned, they can push the ball. They have
an explosive offense. They're not gonna hold back. And when
he has time in the pocket, when he delivers, he delivers.
You tall people are gonna like me saying this, but
I mean he's like Carl Malone. He's the mailman because
when Baron Moore's on, he delivering. Sorry to bring that up.
That might hurt some feelings, it is what it is.
And then the number three is Look, you know I
had already mentioned turnovers and I said limit them the
field goals. You gotta make him pay for a time
of possession. You really do, make the opposition pay. Make
Texas Tech pay for holding the football for a long
time possession battle. If BYU holds Texas Tech to field
goals and they get those turnovers, that door opens up
for an upset and a lot of people like Ron
while you're sitting upset, they're higher. It's a ten and
a half point favor spread towards Texas Tech. The national
media is not picking Y, They're picking Texas Tech.
Speaker 6: So you think they know something that we don't because
I know it. I've dude, I've watched. So I've gone
back and watched the Texas Tech Arizona State game, and
I've gone back and watched the Texas.
Speaker 5: Tech Utah game.
Speaker 6: And in both of those, I see at Texas Tech
that is, yes, very good and definitely elite. But I
also feel that BYU is better than Arizona State and Utah.
So I believe that BYU is good enough to compete
with Texas Tech. I understand Arizona State and the Utah game,
those were both on the road, so Texas Tech was
not at home.
Speaker 5: But I don't know that.
Speaker 6: I don't know that Texas Tech is a double digit
favorite better than BYU.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 3: I mean, part of me feels that when you look
at this ten and a half point spread, I feel
like it's favored like the Utah game. If I'm gonna
be honest, where in what way? In what way where
Utah was? I mean, they're gonna they're getting three points
automatically for being at home, right right, they get that,
But then the touchdown. So if you tell you it's
just like Utah was favored by you know, oh what
six and a half, I think that's what it was.
So I don't think it was three and a half.
But you're basically saying, okay, Utah by a touchdown. I
feel like it's the same. So they're getting the three
for being at home already and then they're giving them
the touchdown. So I think that's where it comes to.
That's why I think it's a one score game. And look,
I'm gonna be honest, bro, I think if this game
is close in the fourth quarter, if it's five points,
might be too much. But if this game is four
or five points, like if it's twenty four to twenty eight,
I think BYU wins this game. I think Texas Tech
can't afford to have this be a close game because
BYU just is able to execute when it matters most
down the stretch. I would love to see the numbers
of how mini ballgames Texas Tech wins win is close.
Speaker 4: But they spank people. They rely on turnovers like they
had a scoop and score in the Kansas State game.
Speaker 5: That's what they do.
Speaker 4: They do that you don't get that against BYU.
Speaker 3: If if you're plus twenty points, so you get turnovers
and you don't do that, then you take those twenty
points away. Okay, so you're at what twenty somewhere between
twenty to twenty three points. I think this BYU offense
can put up twenty four points against this Texas Tech
Red Raider defense. So that just makes it tough in
my opinion. So maybe Vegas knows something that we don't.
But when I'm looking at this ten and a half
points spread, I really see it. It's like seven and
a half or eight and a half, not really ten.
And hey, if you're gonna have bou be a heavy underdog,
Chase Roberts is taking no Parker Kingston. It is what
it is like they're p old man like they're they're
pissed off. I'm gonna say it, Yes, that's right. I
apologize to the kids listening. I'm sorry this is supposed
to be a PG program I've made at PG thirteen,
I apologize to the parents that are listening. But look,
it is like the BYU is tired of being disrespected.
They are they're tired of people punching them in their
mouth and they punch back, and then no one wants
to admit it, so they're gonna go for a knockout punch.
I feel like they're gonna try to beat this team
and show it to the national media. Look, we can
get it done, and I think the way you do
that is forcing turn Like if you can turn Baron
Morden over early and fast and convert off that if
you can do what you did in the Baylor game,
or reminds me of the Baylor game last year. You
get out to a twenty one to seven lead or
twenty one nothing or twenty one three, that's gonna have
Chris Fowler curb heardstreak Holly Row. Maybe not so much
Holly Row, but the national what wait a second? And
then you play the best complimentary football that you can
play that money can find, and that's in Bear Bachmeyer
and Aerontick and Jay Hill and Tholataw Satuala rated the moon.
He's gonna be back. Right if you look at the
injury report that was updated. Look, I mean, hey, these guys,
it sounds like JoJo's gonna be playing.
Speaker 4: Making the trip.
Speaker 3: I'm serious, man, Like, I think special teams could ultimately
be the difference if you get that touchdown. But I
think byu Brett needs to click on all his avenue.
So those are my keys to the game. Survive the
pass rush, do not let them get at your offensive
line and get to Bear Bakmeyer. You gotta turn them
over early and often. And then field goals. Make Texas
Tech pay for these long drives. They go ten plays
thirty eight yards and like to kill the time of possession.
Make them pay for that, making kickfield goals to go
forward on fourth and get the ball back. And then
I think special teams. You need a special teams touchdown.
Those are my keys to the game, Brett.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the other one I want to throw in here
with you touched on a little bit, but I want
to be more specific.
Speaker 5: You got to put the football.
Speaker 6: And I'm not saying I'm not talking about Bear Bachmeyer
throwing the football. I'm talking about Texas Tech channeling the
spirit of one Charles Peanut punch out Tillman Peanut Bears
this Chicago Bear, the man who literally his whole nickname
was just about how he.
Speaker 5: Punched the football out relentlessly.
Speaker 6: That is Jacob Rodriguez and his Texas Tech defense.
Speaker 5: I believe.
Speaker 6: Last week during the broadcast, they told a story about
how they just have a football like on a pedestal
or on a spring or some kind of mechanism around
the facility that they will just punch that It is
just a mentality that they have all the time.
Speaker 5: So BYU needs to hold on to the football.
Speaker 6: My buddy Joe Lard, he played football in high school
in high school in Oklahoma, and his coach would pay
kids to My friend Joe would carry the football around
high school because he was a running back, and the
coach was like a history teach or whatever and would
pay kids like a couple bucks or whatever to walk
around the school and just randomly try to punch the
ball out of Joe Joe's arms. So BYU needs to
keep their head on a swivel and make sure that
they take care of this football. Because again, if you
watch that KSE State game, there were two plays where
the receiver is bringing the ball into his body and
it got punched out both times once they determined that
it wasn't a catch and the other time they determined
it was catch fumble. And you just don't want to
put the game in the hands of the officials to
say whether it was a fumble or whether it was
an incomplete pass. So you just got to be really
careful with this football around this Texas Tech defense.
Speaker 4: I agree, Bret.
Speaker 5: You know how I am.
Speaker 4: I'm a fan of UFC.
Speaker 3: Don't let it go to the judges, score scores, card,
don't let them determine it.
Speaker 4: So you know what you do, no lose change. Maybe
we don't fumble.
Speaker 3: That's one of the classic sayings that players would say
in a football locker room. So high and tight, high
and tight. Hey bear, back my, I know you like
to run with two hands. I've seen that bawl almost
come out a little bit. Hey bear, please do not
do that. Hold on to that football. Protect the rock.
Gotta protect the rock. Ball security is job security. So
make sure that you keep on having that ball security.
I mean, look, if they're punching balls around the facility.
Jacobarriguez is looking for forst fumbl number thirteenth for he's
looking for the thirteenth career force fumble. He's gonna try
to get you. Parker Kingston, Chase Roberts, LJ. Martin, all
of you guys, so be very careful tomorrow with the football.
You want to make sure that you're definitely a wearing it.
And again, to go back to the sounds, I'm gonna
connect them. Hopefully it's not too much of a tangent.
The Texas Tech facility that Joy McGrath was talking about,
the video was playing, I was watching it here in
our Bandowel studios.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: Like they have a screen where you can see the
game and then they have a field in the mix
of it. And maybe BAU has this and other big
twelve schools, but I don't know about it yet and
maybe I'm not and maybe I'm just.
Speaker 4: Not aware of it.
Speaker 3: But they can line up on the field in the
formation and watch tape and then like replicate it and
do that, and of course everything can do on their own,
but it's in like the actual like football facility where
they able to do that, where they have chairs, like
they're able to go back and do that. They're like, wow,
they actually have a turf grass where they can go execute,
break it down, start and stop. So look, Texas Tech
is investing a lot of money into this program, rightfully, so,
but that makes it all better because you go out
there and beat them, you weren't supposed to win this game.
National media picked against you, So tomorrow gonna find out
for sure. But that was your band of the day.
