Speaker 1: It's time to celebrate the previous team sport known to man,

Lots of turmoil, lots of rankings and ratings, lots of
college football cannibalism has occurred over the weekend, and you
know BLAU was a part of it, right losing to
Texas Tech. So we're going to get an update and
break down some of the rankings and ratings here on
your Utah ESPN Radio network is going to be brought
to you by RDS six Steers RDS six Steers Utah
dot Com. That's right, the best exteer home remodeling company
in the business. They're always obsessed with quality results, quality,
heals quality service. They're the best in the business. And
to discuss all the products and services. Right now, we
have the owner operator on the lat Tim Brown, also
a high school football coach and a college football player. Father.
His son plays at SUU. Let's talk some ball with him.
What's up, Tommy? How the heck are you?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 4: Life is so good.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately our high school team lost on Saturday in the
semi finals, so our high school days are done. But
now I just get to be a dad and go
cheer on my kid the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: Love that man. Well, sorry, the wins, the losses, the
ups and downs, it's all part of our football world, right.
I was talking to my family about this and they
were all, they're all grumpy about the Texas Tech game.
I'm like, look, when was the last time that BYU
never lost a game in a season?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 2: When's the last time? Yeah?
Speaker 4: One time? And look, here's the thing. The Texas Tech
loss is not about thing. It shows some things.
Speaker 5: It showed some exposures on a few things that we
need to work on, and as long as we take
care of business, we're going to be seeing them again
in three weeks.
Speaker 4: So it really doesn't matter, honestly.
Speaker 2: Gotta take care of business. TCU, Cincinnati, and UCF. Out
of those three games, which game are you most concerned
about and why?
Speaker 4: To me, it's TCU.
Speaker 5: I just think today've actually are maybe the best team
of that my personal opinion. Cincinnati's a paper tiger. I
think Utah exposed them and showed that. I could be wrong,
but that's my opinion with them, and you CEF just
isn't good man. I thought they were going to beat
Houston and they just did what they do and they
fell apart. So to me, it's it's the TCU game now,
the bet it is it's home, right then coming after
a loss should bounce back. But if we can get
them this week, I think we're in good shape to
finish strong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get TCU at home since you away, and
then UCF at home. There was a little bit of
college football cannibalism over the weekend. Yes, b YU lost.
They fell to twelfth in the Apeo Pole and twelfth
in the coaches poll. We'll see what the College Football
Playoff Committee has to say about it. Should match it
or sorry. Yeah, it was twelfth in the in the
coaches ball. I was just kind of rechecking my numbers here.
ACC had a little bit of cannibalism and in that
hurt right, that hurt the ACC Big twelve or sorry,
Big ten and SEC still at the top of the
food chain, and then you have Notre Dame Hopper in there.
Do you agree or disagree where the AP and the
Coaches poll ended up putting b YU.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 5: I think the way is right where they should be.
I think they're in a good position too. I'll tell
you The interesting one to me is the Texas one. Now,
that Texas team could be one that they could hurt
in the Texas Tech or b YU, because that's an
SEC school that nobody everybody kind of counted out and
didn't think they were coming in. And if they can
somehow figure it a way to get in, which they're
looking really good right now, that one could be could
be one that hurts the Big twelve and may make
it so the Big CROB only gets one team in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Texas moved up to number ten in the AP
poll as well as the coaches poll. So Texas finding
their way. They're a two lost team, but a whole
lot of hyps surrounding him. A whole lot of credibility
with what they've done in season passing the brand just matters.
But they're winning good football games, no doubt about it.
So by you lost to Texas Tech, what can be learned?
What are the silver linings and what needs to be
improved upon heading into TCU week?
Speaker 5: Would you say, Tim, Well, I think the first thing
is it shows how good our defense really is. I
mean on the offense and do any favors, and the
defense still did really good. In fact, I find not
mistaken that's.
Speaker 4: The lowest score points totals this.
Speaker 2: Year for Tech.
Speaker 5: Yeah on that, but I mean, look, that's that's legit.
I mean, by us defense is the real deal. And look,
they didn't get the turnovers and they didn't usually get
We got beat on special teams, which is surprising me
because that's a that's that's a part of the game
that we've dominated this entire season.
Speaker 4: So they kind of flip the results on that to us.
Speaker 5: So I think when we play them again next time,
and again, assuming we went out, we got to take
care of the ball. Still barely have one interception, which
that was a stupid throw. I don't know why you
did it, But with still only one interception. I think
still some real positives and it's hard to be the
team twice. So I feel really good about where byu is.
Speaker 2: Tell us about some of the deals cooking over at
RGS sixtiers for those that are looking for an exterior
home remodeling company that's upseessed with quality results.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, so one thing I did with our
sales team we just we just need a big November.
We just want to have a big seals in November
to really kind of get us through December and January.
And I'll full disclosure, December and January are two slowest
months for sales. You know, people tend to hibernate, and
so we're trying to really anticipate that.
Speaker 4: So I've given my sales.
Speaker 5: Team any any job that they do, any discounts, any financing,
anything that we always offer. In addition to that, till
the end of the month, we're giving an additional five
percent off. So that is going to end December first,
but they get whatever the best deal that you can
work out with them, and then you get an extra
five percent that's on our sighting, gutters, windows, decks, everything
that we offer and it's not gimmicky, there's nothing, there's nothing,
you don't have to do anything. We're just going to
just do that till the end of the month to
try to really push and have a big November.
Speaker 2: Products services that set you apart from the rest? Would
you say, Tim, Oh, there's no question.
Speaker 4: Look, the thing is about us is everybody's going to
say they're the best. Everybody's going to say that they're
they're the number one company.
Speaker 5: Well, I think for us, we just back it. We
back up by being a business for five generations. We
backup by our Google reviews, We back up by what
we do for our customers. Nobody's perfect and we're not,
and we certainly make mistakes just like the next guy.
But really what sets us apart is when when there's
a mistake made, it's not a matter of but win.
Unfortunately in our industry, mistakes happen, but we own it,
we fix it, and we take care of it.
Speaker 4: And we move on.
Speaker 2: Love what you do. Over at RGS, Sixtiers, RGS six
Steers Utah dot com, they have all Matter services, all
Matter products, siding, gutters, windows, custom netalworking, game it they
do at Give them a call, set up an appointment
today eight on one nine nine seven sixty six one
six eight o one nine ninety seven sixty six one
six from your fan perch? Do you feel confident b
YU can win out and make it to Arlington? How
do you feel right now? How you confident b what
you makes it to the Big Total Championship game?
Speaker 5: Well, look, yes, the answer is I'd say ninety five
percent chance.
Speaker 4: That's exactly what's going to happen. Now. We thought that
last year and they kind.
Speaker 5: Of laid the egg onto back to back games, that
Kansas game last year. I'm still stretching my head with
but things are setting up for BYU. I think they're
a better team than they were last year. I think
they've been through it, so yeah, I mean, I think
it's it's a very good possibility that that Tech and
the UAU is going to meet again in two weeks
and let's see what happens.
Speaker 2: Do you feel that Bay is the second best team
in the Big twelve?
Speaker 4: There's yes, no question about it.
Speaker 5: Honestly, who I think the third best team is Utah
And I think that that Frankly, had Tech and b
why you not beating Utah? You'd have a conversation that
Utah should be there, but I think, really I think
Tech and by you are one, one and two and
Utah is really that two to eight.
Speaker 2: Love that Tim Brown, ladies and gentlemen, big BYU fan
would love to earn your business. They're at RGS six
Steers and Construction. It's your home remodeling company that's always
getting five star reviews for their products and services. Thanks
so much, timppreciate you, buddy.
Speaker 4: He thanks you guys. Having an amazing day.
Speaker 2: Yes, always a pleasure, always a blessing. Talking talking with Tim,
I may want to revert over to talk with raiderd
Moody Raider to Moodey BYU Safety right now on the
depth chart. I don't know if you guys saw this
has been moved to free safety. So Tannerwall free safety one,
Raider De Mooney free safety two, Filatile Satawala so they're
finding solidifying himself as a strong safety, and then Talan
Alfrey at strong safety number two. Tommy Prass is still
sitting trying to get healthy. He's at Nickel. I wonder
if they're gonna wait to move him back to free
slash strong most likely free in the off season. We'll
see how that plays out, obviously, but that's your too
deep right now. Any other changes you see in the
depth chart of note Ronald the three man weaver or
Brett always bringing the hammer, But that one was a
note that I saw. I was like, hey, maybe look
at that depth chart. Now, the depth chart is not
always accurate. It's not always the most accurate depiction of
what's going on within the program, but I thought it
was interesting that particular move. Anything else stand out to
you guys before we get back to the sound with
Readier to Mooney?
Speaker 3: So did I miss something? Did Justin Kirkland get injured
and I didn't hear about it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Well he didn't really, he's not on the depth chart,
Yeah yeah, and I don't remember hearing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah he's this or that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see the injury report on Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Right, So that stands out to me a little bit.
Speaker 6: I love that there's still an I know this has
nothing to do with anything, but I still love that
there's an or next to McKay, Hillston and Tracon Borgay
that was so much fun to talk about all at
the beginning of the season, and I love that it's
still there. Cody Hagen and Jojo Phillips. There's an or
right there as well.
Speaker 2: That one.
Speaker 3: I'm so curious to.
Speaker 6: See what we're gonna get out of Jojo, Like have
we seen everything there is to see? Or is it
just the injury? That's a question I have. And then
the Nickel position. I am not totally sure you wanted
to get rid of rid of the nickel position altogether.
Speaker 3: Yes, can I don't. I don't know what the solution is.
Speaker 2: But you don't think it's Kobe or Tavian and Tommy's injured.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't feel great about either of those. I mean,
look like, I don't think they were horrible, but I
definitely did not. I haven't felt great about Nickel all season,
and Saturday I don't think helped. And I guess we
thought when we got Jonathan Kubaya back that that would
be fixed, and that didn't really seem to be the case.
And I wish Fallatawer was smaller and then he could
play the nickel position, but obviously he's great at what
he does, so.
Speaker 2: Nickel, like athletically, it's the most difficult position on the field,
and that that's all positions that's the most difficult. So uh,
typically you get like a five foot nine, one hundred
and eighty five and ninety pound mongoose out there. Just
someone who's quick, lightning fast, and it's physical enough to
make tackles too. There's not that many of those guys
out there. That's why it's they get paid a lot
Nickel have a couple, you know, they get paid a
decent amount of the NFL, and they've been there's a
real why smith Snowden has played so well at Utah.
He can play outside, but he they put him at
that slot Nickel spot, and he locks down some of
the best receivers on any respective team at the Big twelve. Guys,
what do you go with me? Ronnie?
Speaker 7: Yeah, obviously like a you know, Brett said the or look,
I'm gonna say this. I was talking with a certain
personnel you know, off record and who I ran into
and they were discussing with me like, look something in
the day and age of college athletics, like you got
to perform injury, not like even if you have a
good season, sometimes you maybe not put in the work
or you might get you know, lacks of days ago
or what might happen like your spot's up at the
end of the season.
Speaker 3: So I bring it up of yeah, I know.
Speaker 7: Jojo got hurt this year, but like with the way
Bau's moving, if you're not on the ship driving it
or one of the you know, the captains, like you
might find yourself maybe out of out of reps like
that could happen. Like look, look at the game ben
Jojo drops the ball, You're able to get a first
down with Cody Higgin. I'm like, yeah, where's number five?
Showcase him a little more. So everybody needs to be
on high alert. So I just I hope Jojo, you know,
is locked in this week, because if you get your
number called again and you know you're not putting forth
the effort of diving or you're dropping balls like, you
might not see your number called on And I'm just
prize men of the defensive side that was more offensive.
I haven't seen or heard anything about and maybe I
missed something. I can't remember gonna red shirt this year? Okay, okay,
because I was wondering, I'm like, where where's number forty four?
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's been announced, but okay, we
can announced he's getting redshirt this year.
Speaker 7: It is now, Okay, it is now, but yeah, I
was just like, I was like, I remember, you know,
I know he got knocked out the game for targeting.
But guy that feels like plays violent and is just
aggressive at his position.
Speaker 3: Haven't seen him.
Speaker 7: And I was like, what happened to Fromata?
Speaker 3: So thank you for that update.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So he's uh, you know, gonna get bigger, faster,
stronger with a red shirt year and then come back
ready to go in ball out. Uh, you know, either
as a starter or as a rotational uh player in
that second level groep. But I think he's gonna be
a linebacker. I think he's gonna be uh kind of
like an Isaiah Glasgow or a freaking Jack Kelly, either
one of those two. Man, Just feel h everything. Just
be a cross trained linebacker in this J Hill defense.
You're gonna you're gonna make a lot of plays and
make some cash, no doubt about it. All right, guys,
that's our segment, great college football segment. But guys, any thoughts,
any commentary about the rankings here, anything that stood out
to you, anything you disagree with AP or coaches Bowl
Ohio State because it's a people Ohio State at one,
Indiana two, Texas A and M three, Alabama four, Georgia five,
Ole Miss six, Oregon seven, Texas Tech eight, Notre Dame nine,
Texas ten, Oklahoma eleven BYU twelve. I thought it was
interesting that Texas Tech only moved up one spot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I honestly think they should have moved above Oregon
because I think their win was more impressive. But I
do think the AP poll voters A don't watch games
and B the ones who do watch games. I think
this is their mindset, and I respect it. Oregon may
have almost lost to Iowa, but Iowa was a ranked
team and Oregon was playing on the road, and so
you're comparing two ranked wins. I think Texas Tech win
was better, but it's hard to say, well, Oregon, you're
losing your spot even though you didn't lose the game
and it was against a good opponent. So from that standpoint,
I agree. And then again, I think those top six
until somebody loses in those top six, I don't think
those guys are moving either.
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be hard pressed for Texas SEC to
move up.
Speaker 2: Given all of that, let's go to break, don't go
anywhere more to get to. It's the November tenth edition
of Cougar Sports. Here on one of three nine ninety
eight point three ESPN, the FI
