Okay, BYU is one of 36 00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:48,840 eleven FBS teams remaining that are still undefeated. 37 00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:51,159 Speaker 1: Okay, that puts a big target on your back. 38 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,879 Speaker 4: Already, right, and it's the BYU Utah Holy War. Okay, 39 00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:59,040 only Texas Tech and Blow you remain from the Big 40 00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:00,000 twelve is undefeated. 41 00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:00,319 Speaker 1: Dues. 42 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 4: BYU made it to nine to zero before suffering its 43 00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:08,800 first defeat on November sixteenth, the last Big twelve team 44 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,400 to go down. That was last year in search of 45 00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:15,439 seven oh starts. Check this out a win over Utah. 46 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,759 With that win over Utah this weekend. Potentially BYU would 47 00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:21,599 move to seven oh to start the season for the 48 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,000 third time under Kolonie Satake. It would also be back 49 00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:28,199 to back seven oh starts for the first time at BYU. 50 00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:31,439 The Cougar started seven to zero in twenty twenty four, 51 00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:35,759 twenty twenty, two thousand and one, nineteen eighty four, and 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,680 nineteen seventy nine. Pretty crazy to see these these different 53 00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:45,639 years in which BYU was elite. Obviously the eighty four 54 00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:49,520 season the most elite. So that's your key stats of 55 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,759 the day. I want to get back to some soundbites 56 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:57,120 from Jy Hill and talk about maybe Devin. 57 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: Dampier's stats if I may. 58 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 4: Devin Dampierre has been very, very good for the Utes 59 00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:04,560 minus the Texas Tech game, right, minus the Texas Tech game, 60 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,159 you know where he struggle a little bit. 61 00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: But he wasn't a hundred percent healthy, remember he was 62 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,919 he was you. 63 00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:14,159 Speaker 4: Know, he was you know, questionable, not even probable, and 64 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,439 it was, uh, it was a little bit of a 65 00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:22,159 an issue with the injury report that the Utes had 66 00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:24,120 to maybe apologize for. 67 00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:26,039 Speaker 1: So uh, let's get into it. 68 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 4: Devin damp Pier, who does damp Pier remind you of 69 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,960 that you face so far, Jay. 70 00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:33,879 Speaker 5: Hill, Yeah, he runs it a lot like and the 71 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,319 scheme is a lot like say West Virginia was where 72 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,840 he gets more carries. And I think the West Virginia 73 00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:44,039 quarterback was extremely athletic and he carried it a lot 74 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,400 in that game. So I think it's probably a good 75 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,520 split between West Virginia and Arizona. 76 00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would I would agree with that. 77 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: The the tuck and run mentality of Khalil Wilkins is 78 00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:02,560 similar to the tuck and run mentality. I would say 79 00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:06,120 this this Devin Dampier style of play. 80 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: But Devin is a better thrower than than Khalil Wilkins was. 81 00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:11,759 Speaker 4: I don't think he's know if a feet, but he's 82 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,960 kind of in between there, maybe more of a Cayden 83 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,639 Salter type, but we'll see how it plays out. A 84 00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:20,000 couple of latch down bites from Jay Hill and our 85 00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:21,439 let's talk about stat segment. 86 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: What are your defensive goals this week? 87 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,439 Speaker 5: Jay Well, I think we need to do a great 88 00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:30,920 job of stopping the run. We can't let the quarterback 89 00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:34,480 be super efficient when he does throw it, and that 90 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,120 looks different, you know, depending on how many times. 91 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 6: They throw it. 92 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,399 Speaker 5: Depends on, you know, what we're looking for as far 93 00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:42,639 as the efficiency rating and all that stuff goes. But 94 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,079 those two things, for sure are always a critical thing. 95 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,680 My goals change each week for the defense, and it's 96 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,800 just the reality what I feel we need to do 97 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,600 to win this game is going to change each week. 98 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,240 And some of it's a secret. 99 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 4: That's kind of interesting, kind of KOI there with with 100 00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:09,120 the J. Hill commentary, some of it's gonna be a 101 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,319 secret on what they're gonna do, how they're gonna play 102 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,480 their defensive schemes in order to slow down this rushing attack. 103 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: Now, they have two good running backs. 104 00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:22,079 Speaker 4: At the at Utah, and their productivity is probably equivalent 105 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,680 to that of L. J. Martin and Dan Pier is 106 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,959 very much a run threat. He's the second leading rusher 107 00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:30,560 I think for the Utes and so or sorry, he's 108 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,120 the leading rusher for the Utes and so he's their 109 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,879 best runner, okay, and and so he's got some things 110 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,319 up his sleeve. 111 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: That chuckle, you hear, J Hill kind of chuckles like, 112 00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:43,920 you know, we got some things up our sleeve. 113 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 4: I love that that swagger, that confidence. He seems pretty 114 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,199 confident that he's gonna be able to slow down the 115 00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:53,360 running ability of Devin Dan Pierre. 116 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: Moving on to number twelve, Does the. 117 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 4: Familiarity between staffs change anything for you guys? 118 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 5: Not really. When the balls kicked off. 119 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: It's college football, and. 120 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 5: Leading up to it, there might be some things where 121 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,160 you think, oh, well, they know we do this, or 122 00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:11,959 but we also know what they do and the reality 123 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,800 is when the ball snap, you still got to stop it. 124 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,519 Speaker 6: So I don't think it changes that much. 125 00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:21,879 Speaker 4: You gotta stop it. The familarity. Look, there's so many variables. 126 00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:24,839 Even though there is familiarity with the staff, So many 127 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:33,000 variables contribute to play calls, implementation of scheme as well 128 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:33,839 as personnel. 129 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: That being said, I do think in. 130 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:42,519 Speaker 4: Critical times, critical plays, you wonder if there are certain 131 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,560 tells like unto like the game of poker, right when 132 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,879 you get stressed, when you're under the gun a bit, 133 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,199 if there are certain tells from a qualitative and quantitative 134 00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:57,120 standpoint that they can like say, I know what Jay, 135 00:06:57,319 --> 00:07:01,079 I know what Jason, I know what Kai or Morgan 136 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,399 Scalley is going to do in this situation. He doesn't 137 00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:07,560 elaborate on that, but I do think there's an element there. 138 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,160 There's a certain amount of familiarity, not only from a 139 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,759 personality standpoint, That's what I'm talking about. They know what 140 00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:20,240 they've done, typically over a decade or more of data 141 00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:24,360 points of what they do in critical, high pressure situations. 142 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,600 And we all know that the byu Utah Holy War 143 00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:32,560 is typically decided by one score, especially in the modern era. 144 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,399 Over the last thirty years nineteen times, sorry, thirty one games, 145 00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:40,560 nineteen times has this game been decided by one score, 146 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,839 eight or less points? Right, So it comes down to 147 00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:48,199 a final possession in this game, you know, almost seventy 148 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,600 five percent of the time. So I do think there 149 00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:54,959 is a familiarity there with high pressure situations that you're 150 00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:57,399 going to have to keep track of. Final thing from 151 00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:01,959 Jay Hill, how would you assess this ar offensive line? 152 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,959 Speaker 5: Best offensive line in the country is what they tell me, 153 00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:09,040 So it's a great challenge for us. I think they 154 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,120 are very talented. They're obviously leaning on those guys to 155 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:17,600 keep the offense productive. I like the matchup. I like 156 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,759 where our defensive line is at and how we're getting 157 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,120 better and better. So that will be a huge component 158 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,879 in this game, is just how the defensive offensive lines 159 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,560 match up on both sides of this. 160 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:32,799 Speaker 1: There you go Dad. 161 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,399 Speaker 4: Look, I remember in twenty twenty one when the curse 162 00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:40,320 was finally broken when BYU finally got to win at Lavelle. 163 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,919 In the post game, Kyle Whittingham's commentary was very intriguing 164 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,240 to me. He says like, I would have never guessed 165 00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:52,960 that Utah our team was going to lose the trench 166 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,200 warfare battle, that we're going to lose the line of scrimmage. 167 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,600 That's what happened, and so James alluding to it as 168 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,320 well as I've just us the Holy War with former 169 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,960 and current BYU coaches over the last fifteen years, they 170 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,759 time and time again will cite the fact that Utah 171 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,799 was just better upfront offensively and defensively and that's what 172 00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:20,080 led to the victories for the Utes. That's it are 173 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:23,080 the offensive line of defensive line up to the task 174 00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:27,440 this year is the question who wins that line of 175 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,919 scrimmage battle. I'm feeling confident, but Utah is a very 176 00:09:32,919 --> 00:09:36,120 good team and there's a lot of motivation right now 177 00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:39,240 for Kyle Whittingham to go out a winner in this 178 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,879 rivalry game. I'll continue to state this. I think much 179 00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:48,919 of his legacy. I think more so his legacy has 180 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,360 been built off of the dominating. The domination in this 181 00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,240 rivalry game more so than the bowl games, the double 182 00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:01,200 digit wins, the top twenty five finishes, That's my opinion, 183 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,679 because he never outside of two thousand and eight, I 184 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,120 don't know if you can make the argument that he 185 00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:06,879 ever really got over the hup. Yes, he went to 186 00:10:06,879 --> 00:10:10,399 two consecutive Rose Bowls, but couldn't get the win. You know, 187 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,039 the elite nature like putting yourself into the top five 188 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,080 by the end of the year.

So at that point, who wants to be 377 00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:41,759 around that person that that person thinks would want to 378 00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:42,279 be around them? 379 00:19:42,279 --> 00:19:44,039 Speaker 6: No, will no one he normally wants. 380 00:19:43,839 --> 00:19:45,599 Speaker 7: To be around you because you can't if you can't 381 00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:48,920 give them anything, because who you were before is what 382 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,359 they saw. Now they're seeing you at a different level 383 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,720 and that's where that loyalty comes in. So my thing 384 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,400 was I didn't look at any of that stuff. I 385 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,160 just looked at the individual and said, you know, sure, 386 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,640 let's go ahead and. 387 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,799 Speaker 6: Let's let's get this thing a a twirl. 388 00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 7: And the time how we spend together, we gained so much, 389 00:20:08,839 --> 00:20:11,640 so much knowledge about one another, so much love and 390 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:17,039 so much care, and that relationship blossomed into what it 391 00:20:17,079 --> 00:20:21,079 is now is you know, as a parent and a child. 392 00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:25,039 And it's amazing because it shows you how to save 393 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,799 your works in your life. The things that you never 394 00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:29,119 thought you would do are the things that he most 395 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,039 likely blesses you to accomplish, not just to do, but 396 00:20:32,079 --> 00:20:34,640 to accomplish, and then to see as journey that he's 397 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,839 on right now, you know, in the NFL, you know. 398 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,039 And to have a relationship where I don't want anything 399 00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:42,880 from you, I don't. 400 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,079 Speaker 6: Need anything from you. 401 00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:45,799 Speaker 7: You don't need anything from me, you don't want anything 402 00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:48,480 from me, But together we help each other and we 403 00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:51,000 accomplished things together. Not a lot of people may not 404 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,279 understand that relationship. But then again, my dad would always say, 405 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,680 when you're chosen in life, it's a bigger difference than 406 00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:01,680 when you accepted. 407 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,759 Speaker 6: The Savior chooses us, parents choose to have a. 408 00:21:06,759 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 7: Child, and so for me, I feel like I've been 409 00:21:09,799 --> 00:21:12,680 chosen and he's been chosen, that we've been chosen together 410 00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:15,920 to be together through this process. And it's a process, 411 00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:18,480 but at the end of the day, that's what the 412 00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:19,759 Savior has said for us. 413 00:21:20,519 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: The transformative powers of. 414 00:21:23,759 --> 00:21:28,559 Speaker 4: Discipleship and mentorship, you know, are uh you know, they're 415 00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:32,359 cross generational, right and and you learn through that process. 416 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,960 You've learned through that processing it from your father, coach 417 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,759 on who passed away recently. 418 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,319 Speaker 1: May he rest in peace. He lived a legendary life. 419 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 4: We celebrate that obviously, and the impact that he had 420 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,119 on many of those players that you mentioned that went 421 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,039 to b YU or ended. 422 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: Up at at. 423 00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 4: Utah or ended up at any variety of schools and 424 00:21:52,759 --> 00:21:54,440 be producing high level talent, but. 425 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: High high, high quality people. And that's what it's it's 426 00:21:58,319 --> 00:21:59,039 truly about. 427 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 4: We got Luke here on ESPN the fan coach mentor 428 00:22:04,079 --> 00:22:09,039 developer of people. But specifically you know Jamal Williams, which 429 00:22:09,279 --> 00:22:12,279 Jamal holds a special place in BYU fans are right, 430 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:17,680 same with Mama Williams, right, like probably two of the most. 431 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:19,559 Speaker 1: I would say. 432 00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 4: Favorite people amongst Cougar fans in the modern era because 433 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,279 of the unique personalities that they have, the genuine nature 434 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,160 that they have, and the form of fashion which they 435 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,960 interacted and embraced the Byu community. I mean, you've seen that, 436 00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:40,359 you've experienced that. What makes the Williams family so unique. 437 00:22:40,079 --> 00:22:40,759 Speaker 6: And so special? 438 00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 7: I think the I think what makes makes it unique 439 00:22:44,759 --> 00:22:47,039 and special is the fact that you touched on. 440 00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 6: They're just. 441 00:22:50,839 --> 00:22:57,079 Speaker 7: Very, very fun to be around, very energetic, and you 442 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,599 can't say a lot about that kind of stuff. That's 443 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,319 just something that some people are born with and you 444 00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:03,880 can't just practice those things. 445 00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 6: It's just it's just who you are. 446 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,279 Speaker 7: So I think for those type of personalities in an 447 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,599 environment like this, it's welcoming. It's really more of an 448 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,200 adopting because you're adopting that personality. And then you all 449 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,119 of a sudden you see jam All throw the ball 450 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,079 out in the field. You know, you see him out 451 00:23:21,079 --> 00:23:24,200 there dancing. It becomes contagious. You want to start doing it. 452 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,839 I want to come to Byu and I'm want to 453 00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:27,680 throw the ball out like he does. I want to 454 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,880 come to b Yu and I want to be able 455 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,359 to dance like he matter of fact, I have to 456 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,160 come here to dance. 457 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 6: I can dance in my state. I can dance in 458 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,400 my seat. 459 00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 7: So I think it's very I think it's one of 460 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,599 those things where it's very encouraging, it's very embracing. 461 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 462 00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:45,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he became a legendary player because of 463 00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:49,000 the way he played, There's no doubt because of the productivity. 464 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,359 Arguably the best running back together to ever come through 465 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:56,240 BYU and the Record City set, but he imprinted in 466 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:02,759 every BYU fans are a certain love, a certain intrinsic 467 00:24:02,759 --> 00:24:06,920 connectivity between them and Jamal, even though Jamal maybe did 468 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,359 never like really interact with them in an interpersonal way, 469 00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:15,240 but somehow he connected with them and that was very transcendent. 470 00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:18,839 You've seen the the impact that he's made in many communities, 471 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,359 not just the Bau community, as he's gone to all 472 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,759 of these different NFL organizations. 473 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: Explain that component too, like the impact that. 474 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,519 Speaker 4: Jamal's made at every organization that he's he's ended up at. 475 00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 6: I think with the organizations that he's ended up Green Bay. 476 00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 7: Starting there, Mike McCarthy was the head coach and Mike 477 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:43,640 McCarthy drafted him. He was very His impact was felt there. 478 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,279 He got inducted into the Bookie Hall of Fame there. 479 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,519 He had a great career there. He went on to Detroit. 480 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,920 Dan Cavil and him were, you know, pretty much hand 481 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,039 in hand with what they were doing building that product, 482 00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:57,480 building that program to what it is now, and for 483 00:24:57,559 --> 00:24:59,680 him to be a part of that was very significant. 484 00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:03,039 Going to New Orleans and then, you know, he enjoyed 485 00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:07,000 his time there. Unfortunately, he had a hamsterring that he 486 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,200 had been dealing with since he was in college, and 487 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,799 the hamstring finally showed himself through his first year in 488 00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:14,400 New Orleans and then he never really could get back 489 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,079 on track there. Going into the communities now where he's 490 00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:22,799 in Mapleton, I use there. He does so much for 491 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,319 that community out there. You know, he'll sign stuff for people. 492 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,319 People will come up to him and I don't want 493 00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:30,160 to bother you, and he said, well, you're not bothering me. 494 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:36,400 I live here, part of the community. So very he's 495 00:25:36,519 --> 00:25:40,400 very open in that way.

It's 511 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,680 amazing to see those transitions. It's amazing to see him 512 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,079 go to Scottsdale and interact with people, goes to the 513 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,440 skating rink and talks to people, and goes to the 514 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,960 neighborhoods and pulls people in trash cans in after the 515 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,359 truck trash truck goes by. And it's just those things 516 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,400 that you don't see on the football field that he 517 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,200 does behind the scenes.

We appreciate him, love him, 648 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,359 and he'll be joining us here shortly. But as far 649 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,480 as other cougar's in the pros that we've been impressed 650 00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:33,680 by over the years, Taysum Hill, He's back. Shout out 651 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,920 to Tasum. He's balling out for the New Orleans Saints. 652 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,079 And how cool was it that New Orleans had Jamal 653 00:33:40,279 --> 00:33:44,640 and Tasum in the same backfield. And when you talk 654 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:49,640 about teams that almost knocked off the utes in that 655 00:33:49,799 --> 00:33:55,680 era of independence, the twenty and sixteen team was tremendously talented. 656 00:33:56,039 --> 00:33:59,599 The twenty and sixteen team was what eight points away 657 00:33:59,599 --> 00:34:03,079 from being undefeated that season, and they were a two 658 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:08,280 point conversion away from winning that game. Now, many BYU 659 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,480 fans wish they wouldn't have gone for two, They should 660 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,320 have played for overtime, but they were at Reitz Echo Stadium. 661 00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:17,119 What's interesting is this last week BYU's on the road 662 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,119 versus U of A. Kilani wanted to go for it right, 663 00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:23,039 wanted to do wanted to execute that two point conversion. 664 00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:26,480 A Rod k Pop said no, no, no, let's play for OT. 665 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,840 Let's see if we can get more momentum and OT, 666 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,320 and they did that. Will Farren knocked it through the 667 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,760 uprights forty five yarder and then on the ensuing OT 668 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,719 they were able to ultimately score a touchdown and hold 669 00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:44,199 U of A and limit them from scoring a touchdown 670 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:48,239 on that final play. But when you have Jamal Williams 671 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:53,079 and Taysom Hill in the backfield. You know, I understand it. 672 00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:54,599 I understand why you want to go for two. But 673 00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:58,840 that twenty sixteen team came up one point short, couple 674 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,039 yards short in the rivalry game, and that was tough. 675 00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:04,559 Speaker 1: It was a tough pill to swallow. 676 00:35:04,679 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 4: This rivalry game has been one of the most competitive 677 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,239 rivalry games in college football over the last thirty one years. 678 00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: Nineteen of these games. 679 00:35:13,559 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 4: Have come down to one score okay, eight points or 680 00:35:16,639 --> 00:35:20,480 less BYU during that time the last thirty one years 681 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:21,800 has only won twelve times. 682 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,199 Speaker 1: Utah has won nineteen times. 683 00:35:23,199 --> 00:35:28,119 Speaker 4: But when you look at the aggregate competitive nature of 684 00:35:28,159 --> 00:35:30,599 this game, you see it and you know that this 685 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,360 game once again is going to be a close one 686 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,320 BYU versus Utah. Under the lights of Lavelle, It's going 687 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,320 to be a great one once again. Utah is favorited 688 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,079 in this game, Okay, three and a half. What's interesting is, 689 00:35:46,119 --> 00:35:48,960 even though Utah is a three and a half point favorite, 690 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,280 over under is actually a little bit higher than it 691 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,559 has been the last couple of weeks. Forty nine and 692 00:35:53,599 --> 00:35:59,360 a half is where it's at, and but ESPN Analytics 693 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:00,639 right now is giving. 694 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,079 Speaker 1: It essentially a coin flip. 695 00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 4: It's interesting BYU is actually slightly favored per ESPN Analytics 696 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,599 fifty point nine percent. This is a fifty to fifty game. 697 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,199 This is a coin flip game. The utes are five 698 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,480 and one, two and one in Big twelve Play. They're 699 00:36:16,519 --> 00:36:19,519 twenty third in the nation BYU six and OHO in 700 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,039 on the season, three and OHO in Big twelve Play, 701 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,519 and fifteenth overall in the AP Paul six pm kickoff 702 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,400 October eighteenth, It's going to be a sellout. It is 703 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:34,840 a sellout. Crowd fifty nine degrees at kickoff, clear skuys. 704 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,320 You wonder though, will there be You know? Is that 705 00:36:38,559 --> 00:36:40,800 I hope the field has been covered all week because 706 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,199 we've been getting a decent amount of moisture leading up 707 00:36:44,519 --> 00:36:48,199 to kickoff. UH and hopefully that that that that field 708 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:48,679 has been. 709 00:36:48,519 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 1: Covered so that the grass is and the turf is 710 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:51,800 ready to go. 711 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 4: Couple of stats here as we get your prep Get 712 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,159 you ready for this BYU Utah game BYU moved up 713 00:36:59,159 --> 00:37:01,719 in both poles on Saturday, coming in at number fifteen. 714 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,079 As I mentioned in the AP top twenty five and fourteenth. 715 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,440 In the AFCA coaches poll. BYU is actually thirty two 716 00:37:08,519 --> 00:37:12,039 to nine under head coach Kialani Shataki when playing as 717 00:37:12,079 --> 00:37:15,519 a ranked AP team. The appearance in the AP Pole 718 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,880 is the two hundred and ninety sixth overall by the 719 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,719 Cougars in program history, which is tied for thirty fourth 720 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,639 among all teams overall. Four Big twelve teams are currently 721 00:37:25,679 --> 00:37:28,519 ranked in the AP Top twenty five with Texas Tech 722 00:37:28,519 --> 00:37:32,440 and number six BYU fifteen, Utah twenty three, and Cincinnati 723 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,079 at twenty four. The Cougars are thirty four and sixty 724 00:37:36,159 --> 00:37:38,840 nine and one versus ranked opponents. So you looked at 725 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:43,079 that ranked opponent record, you're like, man, this is difficult. 726 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,199 But BYU is nine and thirteen against ranked opponents under Shataki, 727 00:37:47,519 --> 00:37:51,440 So they've gotten better under coach Kalani Shatakia when they 728 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,519 are ranked by wu's last win against a ranked team 729 00:37:56,119 --> 00:38:01,719 was over number twenty three in the Alima Bowl last season, 730 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,320 so pretty impressive. 731 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,039 Speaker 1: Under Killannie, they are better. 732 00:38:05,119 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 4: As I mentioned when Kilanie came in to his head 733 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,880 coaching role at Uyu, I said, as a young coach, 734 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,199 he was forty years old. He just turned fifty. Happy 735 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,960 birthday to Kilanie. He turned fifty this last week. I said. 736 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,719 The ceiling is higher with Kilani, but as a young 737 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,239 coach you learn a lot of different things. The floor 738 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,880 may be a little bit lower, and I think that 739 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:32,239 that's been accurate. In twenty seventeen, they struggled after guys 740 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,679 like Taysom and Jamal and many others graduated and moved 741 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,400 on to the National Football League. 742 00:38:38,039 --> 00:38:41,519 Speaker 1: But since then we've seen the gradual rise. 743 00:38:42,039 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 4: Since twenty twenty, Kilanie has put together double digit win 744 00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:49,360 seasons time and time again. And once again he's doing that. 745 00:38:49,599 --> 00:38:51,880 It has never been done back to back years starting 746 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,400 six to zero. That's what Klanie did and is in 747 00:38:54,519 --> 00:38:57,440 year three now of being a part of a power 748 00:38:57,519 --> 00:39:02,199 conference and so bigger to Killane and his BYU Cougar 749 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,119 football team can't wait to see what they can do 750 00:39:05,519 --> 00:39:08,639 versus the Utes now. In order for them to beat 751 00:39:08,639 --> 00:39:13,360 the Utes, though, we gotta highlight what BYU and Utah 752 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,920 do well. It's the run game. BYU has another possible 753 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,559 great in the making in LJ. Martin. 754 00:39:21,039 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: Running back l J. 755 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,599 Speaker 4: Martin was named the Big twelve Offensive Player of the 756 00:39:24,599 --> 00:39:28,639 Week after a career high one hundred and sixty two 757 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,320 yards rushing with one touchdown on twenty five carries at 758 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,440 u of A and bear Bachmer hasn't been too shabby 759 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,199 either running the football. He was named the Big twelve 760 00:39:38,199 --> 00:39:41,159 Freshman the Week for the third consecutive week and fourth 761 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,800 after leading BYU to a comeback victory versus U of A. 762 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: You wonder you watch LJ right, you've been watching him 763 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,079 over the last two years. 764 00:39:51,679 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 4: Can he become heralded like the great running backs that 765 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,039 have come through BYU over the last thirty years or so, 766 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,760 Jamal Willy being one of those, tyler Ow's year being 767 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,159 one of those. Luke Staley, Harvey Unga right, think of 768 00:40:05,199 --> 00:40:09,119 all the great runnings. We used to be called quarterback 769 00:40:09,199 --> 00:40:13,119 you and we've had so many great quarterbacks come through BYU. 770 00:40:13,519 --> 00:40:15,920 But in the modern eras you know, post two thousand 771 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:21,559 and one, you've had many NFL running backs Luke Staley, 772 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,519 Like I mentioned, Harvey Unger, Curtis Brown was in there too, 773 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:30,719 a former BYU great that toted for a lot of yards. Obviously, 774 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,639 Jamal after that from twenty twelve to two thousand. In 775 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,920 sixteen he came in as like a seventeen year old 776 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,360 pup and became a grown man in balld out for 777 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,800 Brigham tyler Ow's year. 778 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: Currently in the league and he's killing it. 779 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 4: I wonder what tyler Ow's year's potential is going to 780 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,400 be in the National Football League. He's got great potential, 781 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,679 looked really good this past week, and he's gonna be 782 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,639 up for his second contract, which is big, right, this 783 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,199 is the money making contract. He's got fifty three carries 784 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,280 on the year, one hundred and eighty seven yards, almost 785 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,360 averaging four yards per carry, three touchdowns. But he had 786 00:41:09,599 --> 00:41:13,360 maybe his best game of the season this last week 787 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,400 versus Buffalo, So shout out to Tyler Azier. But by 788 00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:19,840 is gonna have to run the ball effectively versus this 789 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:25,960 University of Utah defensive front, and you wonder, this is 790 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,039 the most formidable defensive front that b Wys face all 791 00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:32,960 season long, and they're gonna have to prove themselves. This 792 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,320 offensive line is gonna to prove themselves versus some of 793 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:36,559 the best in the country. 794 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,199 Speaker 1: Let's take a brief time out. 795 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 4: We'll come back with former BYU great Jamal Williams.
