So no, it'll it'll be fun. 62 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,879 I'm looking forward to it, and I couldn't make it 63 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,039 last year, but I will say this, I'm gonna have 64 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,240 to throw the pill like the next three weeks.

Elevate 70 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,960 your collagen. Maybe start taking a little bit of creatine 71 00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:33,599 and make sure you're stretching. 72 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:39,439 Speaker 5: Yes, I'm going creatine. I'm going Rocky one, two, three, four, 73 00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:45,560 and five, and maybe repeat Rocky two because when Adrian 74 00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:49,879 tells him when and the and the gong sounds and 75 00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:52,280 he goes into his workout like that's one of the 76 00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:55,599 greater scenes at least in a sports movie in my estimation. 77 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,400 So yeah, I got a lot of motivation, Buddy, love 78 00:03:59,439 --> 00:03:59,840 it man. 79 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,719 Speaker 2: Well, Camp Killani's starting up now and we're seeing reports 80 00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:08,280 come out, videos being published on social media. 81 00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: We're reading through all the articles. We've been able to 82 00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:12,039 interview some of these guys. 83 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: What have been the key storylines for you coming out 84 00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:16,800 of Camp Killane this spring ball? 85 00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 5: Well, I think what I'm going to be Well, obviously, 86 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,800 all the transfers that we've had, whether that's both sides 87 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,800 of the ball, and how quickly they can make an 88 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,000 impact along with the freshmen, so basically the new faces 89 00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:40,439 and how quickly can they impact, How quickly can they 90 00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:43,959 come in and learn the playbook on either the offensive 91 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,639 side or the defensive side, mesh with the team. Some 92 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,800 of the leaderships that you know stayed on Avan Johnson's Tonavasa, 93 00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:57,240 obviously Bear even though he's just a freshman, he's still 94 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:03,160 a veteran. And how these guys all mesh and commingle 95 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:11,519 together with uh, you know, a new defensive coordinator, and 96 00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:14,839 and how Bear progresses having a year under his belt 97 00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:18,439 on the offensive side and I think being able to 98 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,279 I think the want is to throw the ball a 99 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,399 little bit more. But now we have, you know, kind 100 00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:29,120 of an issue at receiver, which is the next point 101 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:35,079 is the biggest I think question mark is who feels 102 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,160 the roles of Chase and Parker and and how does 103 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,800 that receiver room lineup depth chart wise and rotation wise. 104 00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:51,600 And there's there's a lot to uh to look at 105 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:58,800 and but but yeah, that's what screens for and sounds 106 00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,839 like so far, so good. 107 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, who are some of the newcomers? 108 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, Cameron and I were talking about the new covers 109 00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:08,000 were most intrigued by, So who are the guys you're 110 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,399 most intrigued by, and who do you think is going 111 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,199 to really maybe elevate and create a significant role for 112 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,240 themselves this year? 113 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 3: And why. 114 00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 5: I know we've talked about this before, but I think 115 00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:28,360 the two Lehigh kids, both Devon Echa and Lesend Glasker, 116 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,639 I think they're due to make an impact on the 117 00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:38,360 offensive side of the ball because having talked to them, 118 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,839 they've ingrained themselves into the college life, which is vastly 119 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,000 different than obviously going to Lehigh High School or any 120 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:52,399 other high school in America, and so they're excited to 121 00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:57,639 be that there. They they've talked about how much weight 122 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,720 they've gained, and the stream in the spring program, the 123 00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:06,040 off season program, the weights program, strength and conditioning at 124 00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:11,040 BYU had really elevated their game. Their thing is going 125 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,759 to be in between the years. So I think athletically 126 00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:19,000 spring allows them to, you know, get some girth on 127 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,839 their bodies, especially Devon and so but I think they're 128 00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:27,319 really going to make an impact at least on the 129 00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:31,720 offensive side of the ball as a young eighteen nineteen 130 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:38,759 year old, and so they're they're they're quite the talent 131 00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:42,480 and they're going to be really good and really bolster 132 00:07:45,399 --> 00:07:51,439 at least, you know, Devon with having Lj's back, moa 133 00:07:52,399 --> 00:07:55,639 Rex is in their Devon. I mean, I think they're 134 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,480 running back course was that used to be a concern 135 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,079 and now going to be a strength going forward? It's 136 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,879 just now, okay, what do we got as a receiver. 137 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,959 Who's gonna step up? Who's gonna raise your hand? I 138 00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:14,160 got this? Just here here, hold my root beer and 139 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:20,639 watch this. And so that's obviously the biggest question and 140 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,639 probably concern going into the spring. And hopefully, you know, 141 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,199 by the time he end of spring and the end 142 00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:30,399 of this month, we'll have an idea of a too 143 00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:34,559 deep receiver. Corps love that as J. 144 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,799 Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, there's plenty of opportunity. 145 00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: Man, if you're a wide receiver with Chase graduating Parker 146 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,879 on the outs and uh, there's plenty and you have 147 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,879 a quarterback that just threw for three thousand yards and 148 00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:50,360 completed sixty four or sixty five percent of his passes, 149 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,799 I'm putting in work. If I'm a wide receiver, I'm like, hey, 150 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,200 you want to hang out Beart, what are you doing? 151 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,879 That's a practice? I'll run routes for you. You know 152 00:08:57,919 --> 00:08:59,759 you want to get us some extra work on Saturday. 153 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,919 I'll run routes for you. You know, I'm putting in 154 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,600 that work to be that guy for Bear fighting tooth 155 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,000 and nail. 156 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:13,639 Speaker 5: Absolutely, and I know that. I'm sure Bear's doing that. 157 00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:16,720 I'm sure Enuch's doing that because he's fighting for a 158 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,279 backup spot. Trason's doing that as far as the quarterback. 159 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,320 So my assumption, in my estimation, because I used to 160 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,879 do this too, is Chad Lewis would come to me 161 00:09:29,919 --> 00:09:32,399 and go, dude, I'm not obviously I'm not in the 162 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,200 starting role because he was younger, he was a freshman. 163 00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:39,519 But let's go throw after practice and Chad and I 164 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,960 would just chunk it just every day after practice because 165 00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:45,000 I wouldn't get a lot of raps the backup and 166 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,159 so Walls got the majority of the reps with the 167 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,919 ones and so. And I'm sure those guys are doing 168 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,679 the same thing because you know, in college and you've 169 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,440 got such a newness with the receivers quarterbacks, it's timing, man, 170 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,120 And if you don't have the timing down with your guys, 171 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,440 because one guy's gonna run a fade route a little 172 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,639 bit different than the other or speed and separation or 173 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:19,519 if there's none. So different routes by different guys are 174 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,879 gonna produce different results, and so the timing's gotta be money. 175 00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:26,360 But that's when you do this is in March and 176 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,519 April in May. 177 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 3: So love that breakdown. 178 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: Steve Klements here on your Utah ESPN Radio Network, former 179 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,440 bo your quarterback. Last time we chatted, we were discussing 180 00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:39,559 maybe the QB two battle Enick Watson versus traycon borget 181 00:10:39,759 --> 00:10:43,639 Trason is I think some was solidified as that QB 182 00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:47,159 two But what if you heard about Enick Watson, do 183 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,240 you think you can push a tenured experience red shirt 184 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,679 senior and Tracon Borgae at that QB two spot. 185 00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 5: Well, my understanding is he's he's more gifted athletic, like 186 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,039 with the waist down like he could move, he's quite 187 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,759 an athlete. Yeah, and he can spin it too, So 188 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:16,039 I don't know if Trason athletically probably falls a little 189 00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:19,840 bit short behind Enich in that. But then Trason has 190 00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:23,399 the experience, right, He's actually played at the Division one 191 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,639 level in games Michigan State years and years ago, but 192 00:11:27,879 --> 00:11:31,519 there's no substitute for experience where and then he has 193 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:36,679 the backing. I know of the team behind him. He's 194 00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:39,879 sent out in the community. He's a really, really good kid. 195 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,879 I talked to him last fall camp for about five 196 00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:47,919 minutes from they were warming up right before practice. Guy, 197 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,039 he's a solid dude, and I love the kid. But 198 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,440 so there's still going to be a battle because because 199 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,840 I think Enix athleticism and be able to spin it. 200 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,759 His just think he is no different than a freshman 201 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,879 coming in or even a transfer in how quick can 202 00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:10,399 you pick up the offense right and the reads and 203 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,039 the coverages and what a rod wants him to do 204 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,279 and the timing with the receivers. There's a lot. But 205 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:23,080 he's been on campus now for what three months or so, 206 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:28,120 So I think or we'll be fine in that position too, 207 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,279 with capable backups. I have no doubt that they're going 208 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,639 to coach enikup and get him up to speed on 209 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,960 the playbook, and you know, by the time spring's over, 210 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,159 I think he'll be fine. I mean, you look at 211 00:12:42,159 --> 00:12:47,279 Bear last year. He had zero clue whatsoever, and he 212 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,799 steps in and throws through a three thousand yards. Yeah, 213 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,120 some even said he was a better thrower and Tim Tebow. 214 00:12:56,799 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 6: At some point, I believe. So we actually say that 215 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,039 I'm better throwing tim Teba. How dare the person that 216 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:11,600 the audacity of that man or woman I right or. 217 00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 5: A woman that's right depends on the day, buddy. 218 00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I feel you on that. 219 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,799 Speaker 2: So one of the things I'm I'm very much intrigued 220 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,919 by with this this team, especially during you know, fall camp, 221 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,559 Etcas you know this, the offense has more new faces 222 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,799 than the defense, right, Like all the defense is pretty 223 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,679 much back like for the most part, You've got some 224 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,399 some losses, but there there was a ton of guys 225 00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:43,919 behind them that had tenure in talent and experience. 226 00:13:44,799 --> 00:13:45,919 Speaker 3: There's a lot of new faces. 227 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 2: Walker Lions, Roger Salipaka, Kyler Kasper new face, right, you 228 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,600 mentioned legend Glasger Davon Ekka. You do have LJ. Martin's 229 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,519 kind of sitting out right now. I mean he's doing 230 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,120 drills and tough stuff, but he's not doing all twenty 231 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,080 two and and you know, being a part of like 232 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,440 necessary team drills. That looks like just because you're still 233 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,960 recovering from surgery, But like, how much of a dynamic 234 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,360 is that. It seems like it's a competitive disadvantage versus 235 00:14:12,759 --> 00:14:15,639 a projected in my mind, a top twenty five defense 236 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,600 that returns. I mean, they were a top twenty five 237 00:14:17,639 --> 00:14:19,679 defense the last two years and they don't lose much 238 00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:22,240 and it's the same scheme and most of the same coaches. 239 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,519 I feel like this defense is a top twenty five 240 00:14:24,559 --> 00:14:27,440 defense and the offense got to go against them every 241 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,919 single day with a ton of new bodies, including the 242 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,720 new offensive alignment. How difficult is that to manage as 243 00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:38,320 an offensive coordinator with your install especially if you're struggling, 244 00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:42,159 you know, getting guys integrated into the playbook and knowing 245 00:14:42,159 --> 00:14:46,399 where their alignment is and knowing how to execute that scheme. 246 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,399 Speaker 5: Well, I think the better to the defense, the better 247 00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:57,399 the show during a practice for an offense. And conversely, obviously, 248 00:14:57,399 --> 00:15:00,840 when I say offense, defense, defense, offense, I'm talking about 249 00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:04,519 both sides. That on one side, if you can show 250 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,200 you know BYU does their thing and we're going up 251 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,799 against a top twenty five defense every day in practice, 252 00:15:13,399 --> 00:15:15,320 that's what we want. That's what a Rod wants, That's 253 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,919 what Clowney wants, because we don't we want to face 254 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,240 We're not trying to go beat, you know, in practice 255 00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:26,279 against a bunch of old dominions, right, it's the Texas 256 00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:29,279 text of the world. That's who we're looking at, you know, 257 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,399 and that's who we're I think we're going to be 258 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:38,360 one and two probably pre season Big twelve right there 259 00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:42,720 again with those guys. So that's that's the bar that 260 00:15:42,759 --> 00:15:46,039 we're going after. And so if we can we can 261 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,279 see that bar in practice every day and go against 262 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,320 something like we're going to see throughout the year on 263 00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:59,000 the highest level, which would be a Texas Tech and 264 00:15:59,039 --> 00:16:02,840 then you make the playoff, you you know, you invite 265 00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:08,320 all the SEC teams into that category. That's kind of project. 266 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,320 That's where we're at right now with the last three 267 00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:14,440 years or expectations are higher. So yeah, we can't have 268 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,840 a drop off from Monday through Thursday. So let's put 269 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,360 our best guys out there. We run our scheme against 270 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,039 your scheme, and let's get after it because it's only 271 00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:28,840 going to make us better towards the end of the year. 272 00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:34,200 And playing obviously the team up north there in the middle, 273 00:16:35,919 --> 00:16:38,120 that's always going to be tough no matter what because 274 00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:41,559 it's it's our rivals, right, So those are the teams 275 00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:46,279 that we you want to heart kind of not emulate, 276 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,080 but kind of emulate during practice because it just makes 277 00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:53,639 the offense better. And if the offense performs at a 278 00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:56,519 high level in practice, it's only making the defense better. 279 00:16:56,919 --> 00:17:02,240 I mean, that's that's the game of sports. So it's 280 00:17:03,039 --> 00:17:06,359 Saturdays are for fun and kind of enjoying it. You 281 00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:08,400 work in grind Monday through Thursday. 282 00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:11,319 Speaker 3: So got to put in the work. 283 00:17:11,519 --> 00:17:13,759 Speaker 2: Got to put in that lonely work as well in 284 00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:17,079 order to build chemistry. Hopefully this offensive unit is going 285 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,440 to be doing that. Steve Klemis form or BYU Great 286 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,240 Quarterback talking some BYU Football. 287 00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 3: Couple last things before we let you go. 288 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 2: This is a keeping up with the Cougar segment brought 289 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,480 to you by Odeon Men's where odeon menswear dot com. 290 00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:29,720 Remember to use the Crital fifteen coupon code for all 291 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,960 your missionary retire, oh, your men's attire and your church attire. Steve, 292 00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:35,160 one of the only question mark that I had I 293 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,359 really have about this team, apart from the dynamic of 294 00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:41,319 integration and cohesion on the offensive side, with so many 295 00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:48,119 new faces, you have replaced the defensive secondary coaches right 296 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,640 and traditionally historically BYU secondary hasn't been the best. 297 00:17:53,799 --> 00:17:54,519 Speaker 3: Let's be honest. 298 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 2: In the Whag days, I mean, I don't know what 299 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,519 the talent was like back in your day, year in 300 00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:01,920 a year out the depth Uh there there was always 301 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,319 kind of like this question like do we have the 302 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,319 guys to cover on the back end the Mountain West 303 00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:08,759 Conference days, you know, there was when I came in. Uh, 304 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,559 you know that everyone was really concerned about the secondary 305 00:18:13,079 --> 00:18:15,240 and uh, and then we had to prove ourselves right 306 00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:16,920 and we but we didn't have a ton of depth there. 307 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,400 Independence was was tough, right and uh, I think the 308 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,599 Big twelve has been tough. But you lose Jay Hill, 309 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,000 you lose Gennaro, you lose Gavin Faller. 310 00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 3: Uh. 311 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,839 Speaker 2: You you bring in Tomorrow Warren, you bring in Lewis Walker, 312 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,920 you bring in uh, you elevate Wes Johnson, which I 313 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,319 thought it was a really smart thing to do, and 314 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,240 then you bring in Dandy Sorenson. Do you feel like, 315 00:18:38,319 --> 00:18:41,200 what what makes you believe that there's not going to 316 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,920 be any drop off even though like your entire coaching 317 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,079 staff on the back end was replaced. I know everyone 318 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,599 comes back, right, but give me, give me some uh 319 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,720 insight from your perspective on why there won't be a 320 00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:55,119 drop off in that secondary. 321 00:18:56,279 --> 00:19:01,599 Speaker 5: Well, I think two names and not not to disrespect 322 00:19:01,759 --> 00:19:07,599 K pop, but Kalanie Sataki and Gary Anderson. With those 323 00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:12,880 guys in their experience and knowing that they and traditionally 324 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,279 what you what you want to do is develop a 325 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:22,319 defense or an offense inside out, which means you've got 326 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,440 to have dudes up front. You need four guys at 327 00:19:25,519 --> 00:19:28,279 least in our defense that can get to the quarterback 328 00:19:28,599 --> 00:19:32,160 without bringing a fifth. Even if you bring a fifth 329 00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:37,079 or sixth, the scheme is such that the back end 330 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,640 obviously you have to mesh the back in with the 331 00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:44,319 front end. So I think why we're going to be 332 00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:47,960 we're fine on the back end is because on the 333 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,000 front end we're so solid and our front seven is 334 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,440 going to be I think one of the best at 335 00:19:55,519 --> 00:19:59,160 least in the in the Big twelve. And so yeah, 336 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,799 we're not paying guys five million dollars like Texas Tech is, 337 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:09,200 But schematically we can play around with coverages as long 338 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,400 as our guys can get to the quarterback not needing 339 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,119 a blitz. Now we have to start blitzing. Then we 340 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,519 got to lock up, and then we go, oh crap, 341 00:20:17,599 --> 00:20:20,839 now this it really does become a game of one 342 00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:23,359 on ones, which a lot of people say anyway. 343 00:20:23,759 --> 00:20:24,599 Speaker 3: But and. 344 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 5: You know, in this defense, Kolani has always wanted to 345 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,119 be a Manda man. That's what he likes. He likes 346 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,119 some MANI man defense, have four to five guys be 347 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,880 able to get to the quarterback without bringing too many more. 348 00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:43,559 Morgan's is not going to do anything different up north, 349 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,359 so they're very similar defenses. Gary Anderson, you know, has 350 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,960 been doing this a long time and same philosophy. So 351 00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:56,519 I think with having such a good front end, it 352 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:02,279 allows you to play maybe some games at least until 353 00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:05,559 we're up to speed. Obviously, safeties one we got to 354 00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:11,240 replace Tanner with. But like Schematically, an experience on the 355 00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:15,759 coaching staff, even with k Pop, Dude, I'm we're fine, 356 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,759 Like we're I'm not worried about it, just because Schematically 357 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,519 and the experience that we have on the staff, regardless 358 00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:28,359 of you know, the dB coaches Orn and uh even 359 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,319 Sorens and those guys, the knowledge that they're going to bring, 360 00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:36,079 and I'm not worried about the knowledge either. We'll be fun, dude, 361 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,279 I'm telling you this is this is gonna be a 362 00:21:38,279 --> 00:21:42,319 fun season. I'm I'm really looking forward to it. Just 363 00:21:42,319 --> 00:21:47,039 what we have coming back transfer freshman. It's a it's 364 00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:49,079 a great day to be a coup for sure. 365 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 2: So I got one last thing for you. I chatted 366 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,880 with k Pop last week. We chatted with Kilani during 367 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,400 the signing period, signing day. You know, we we've seen 368 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,960 this transition, I would say in the Klanie era. I 369 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,039 think recently, I want to say it like in twenty 370 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,759 twenty three, we started really hear a lot more humble, hungry, 371 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,839 humble hungry, humble hungry, and I think my opinion from 372 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,200 me from my perch right, we've seen a little pride cycle. 373 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,519 Right twenty sixteen, that year one of the Klanie era, 374 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,599 like they had a great team. They were nine and four, 375 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,200 but they were eight points away from being essentially a 376 00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:28,599 like top ten team, Like they were. They were on 377 00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:30,480 knocking on the door in a lot of these high 378 00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:32,200 profile games and they just fell short. 379 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 3: So there was a. 380 00:22:33,079 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 2: Ton of optimism going into twenty seventeen, like super high 381 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,559 expectations because what they had done the year before, and 382 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,319 it was a precipitous drop. Little pride cycle twenty twenty, 383 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,200 twenty twenty one, after kind of going through the humbling 384 00:22:47,559 --> 00:22:50,039 era of seventeen eighteen nineteen and. 385 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 3: A lot of losses, a lot of average seasons. 386 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 2: We had eleven and one then and then a ten 387 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,079 and three season top twenty five years. We had a 388 00:22:58,079 --> 00:23:00,319 ton of dudes coming back in twenty twenty to. If 389 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,680 you look at that roster, we had a ton of 390 00:23:02,759 --> 00:23:08,039 NFL talent there at Blake Freelin, Jaren Hall, Chris Brooks 391 00:23:08,039 --> 00:23:10,480 I think was on that roster. You go down that 392 00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:12,400 list and and b why you ended up being an 393 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,200 eight win team they had to get their eighth win 394 00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:16,480 in the bowl game. It was it was a drop 395 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,440 off right in twenty twenty two. It was a little 396 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,559 pride cycle. And then what my concern is is this, 397 00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:25,119 we're we're I'm excited about this team. There's a ton 398 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,799 of talent, and you got the coaching staff there. You're excited, 399 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,559 Cameron's excited, We're all excited. Like, is there a few 400 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,759 is there a possibility we could have another pride cycle 401 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,640 drop off? And what leads you to believe that we 402 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,640 are truly going to stay humble, stay hungry, and continue 403 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:39,839 to like own that culture. 404 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,319 Speaker 5: No, because I think it's just it's now, it's a 405 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,680 plug and play with these guys, even with the transfer 406 00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:49,680 which has changed since you know, even a couple of 407 00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:52,920 years ago. So you've got new guys in a program. 408 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,839 But the guys that are coming over that are transferring 409 00:23:57,839 --> 00:24:02,599 that aren't necessarily looking to go to b YU because 410 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,000 of the school or maybe the religion. It's to play 411 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,279 football for a culture that Klania is now cemented at 412 00:24:12,319 --> 00:24:18,319 b YU and becoming really level Edwards esque in his approach, 413 00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:22,400 and guys want to go play for the guy I mean, 414 00:24:23,079 --> 00:24:26,799 the humble, hungry I mean, that's that's him. So he's 415 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:32,759 never satisfied, but he's always going to be have humility 416 00:24:32,759 --> 00:24:35,240 in his life because that's what he's been taught since 417 00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:38,559 he was a young man by his dad. And so 418 00:24:40,519 --> 00:24:45,440 that where the that's where the culture kind of comes 419 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,839 in and kind of fuses and glues everything together where 420 00:24:50,319 --> 00:24:53,640 we might be missing a spot here, depth here, whatever. 421 00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:59,559 That's where I think a really good culture can overcome 422 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:07,000 some maybe deficiencies even in schematics or athletically or personnel, 423 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:14,119 injuries whatever. Now you get the injury bug and you 424 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,519 may not have a way out. Even the culture may 425 00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:18,680 not save you. It depends on when the injuries come 426 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,200 and who they come to and how frequent they are. Right, 427 00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:30,920 But that aside, I really do think the expectations are there. 428 00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:34,359 The kids know it. It's not about yeah, we're not 429 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,559 playing in the Mountain West anymore, We're not playing in 430 00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:40,960 the Whack anymore. This is big twelve and big boy football, 431 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,839 and everybody that comes here understands that now. And I 432 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,640 think that's why they want to come here, because it's 433 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,799 not just the culture, but like they're playing some dudes 434 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,680 week in and week out, and they're not afraid and 435 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,920 they're not scared, and that's where the hungry part comes. 436 00:25:57,519 --> 00:26:02,720 I think with Colonne's it's I mean, we're not scared 437 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,599 of anyone. And this this is this is the current 438 00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:13,839 uh trajectory of BYU football, which is going up. We're 439 00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:18,960 not plateauing, We're not satisfied. But at the same time 440 00:26:19,519 --> 00:26:24,720 we have to be humble and understand where to be 441 00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:28,880 grateful and thankful for having a program like this and 442 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,200 being able to play one of the greatest sports on 443 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,200 the face of the earth, So the. 444 00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:37,079 Speaker 3: The greatest sport on the faces of the earth. Cameron's 445 00:26:37,079 --> 00:26:38,599 got a question for you points there. 446 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,279 Speaker 4: I agree with everything you said. It's It's a unique 447 00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:44,240 culture now with college football where these players, in essence, 448 00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:46,319 off the end every year to play, and I think 449 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,799 there's an ownership and commitment level that comes with that. 450 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,720 And just adding on one thing, I like our leadership 451 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,680 on this team coming back in critical positions. I look 452 00:26:54,759 --> 00:26:57,039 at that where you keep humble and hungry is is 453 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,480 really starts with the team. Colony has done everything, Our 454 00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:01,680 coaching st there. Who are the leaders on this team? 455 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,839 And Bear's really shown that. As I've heard in spring 456 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,000 ball in this offseason. You've got a quarterback, the guy 457 00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:10,480 out there leading is vital, and then you've got LJ. 458 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,759 You've got Bruce Mitchell on the front line, You've got 459 00:27:12,839 --> 00:27:15,440 ton of USA and all the defense coming back. You've 460 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,960 got this core leadership that knows what it's like to win. 461 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:19,880 And I don't think they're going to see I know, 462 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,319 I don't think they're going to allow a letdown forsaking injuries. 463 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,440 Like you said, injuries are the one thing I'm afraid 464 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,559 of the most with this team, especially Bear and other positions, 465 00:27:29,559 --> 00:27:32,119 which is always the case. But I like our leadership 466 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,319 and their ability to lead us, so we don't run 467 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,079 into that this year. 468 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 5: Ben, Yeah, and if you if you think about it, Cambell, 469 00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:43,519 you just said, it's the leadership almost right down the 470 00:27:43,559 --> 00:27:47,559 middle of the field, right, LJ running back, quarterback, center, 471 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:57,480 uh ton of Asa what or whatever is Isaia would 472 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,279 probably be more on the outside. But then you got 473 00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:02,759 uh fallI, tala Issy's. 474 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,599 Speaker 3: Name follow and Moody. 475 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 5: So so till to your point, that's a lot of 476 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,119 what said or who you just said, right down the 477 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,279 middle of the lineup offensively, defensively, right key positions and 478 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,480 so uh yeah, I think you're right leadership and those 479 00:28:21,559 --> 00:28:25,039 key positions bear having one more year. And I think 480 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,640 really even tracing being in a backup, I mean that 481 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,599 experience is said, well, you know way back in the 482 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:37,119 day where I, even though I wasn't a starter, there's 483 00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:39,680 there's no reason why I couldn't be a leader even 484 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,599 though I'm not out there playing. But I'm around the 485 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,240 guys just as much as you know Johnny Waw was, 486 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,759 And so yeah, it doesn't matter if you're starting or not. 487 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,559 I think beyond just leadership in certain spots as starters, 488 00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,160 but you also have a capability as backups and gouts 489 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,240 that are are not maybe playing every down to be 490 00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:07,200 leaders as well, and I think you're seeing a little 491 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,480 bit of that too, because of the culture that Kilani 492 00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:14,960 has instilled, the humble and hungry at the same time, 493 00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:18,720 but not necessarily just because you're a starter. Anybody can 494 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,000 be a leader at any given time or day or whatever. 495 00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:23,799 So no, I agree. 496 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: Steve Klembis, Ladies and gentlemen, former b Way great, get 497 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,400 it be one of the quarterbacks at the alumni game, 498 00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:33,359 slinging the pill, scoring touchdowns and leaving his glory days 499 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:33,839 once again. 500 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,359 Speaker 3: Steve, we sleute you, appreciate you man.
