no obligation to advst Q and A Today got a
great show for you.
Speaker 5: How about them coups?
Speaker 4: You wanted style points kugarnation after a disappointing defeat in Lubbock.
A disappointing defeat in which the entire nation got eyes on. Now,
it would have been nice to have this game at
like five o'clock, you know, three thirty something like that,
so more people got to see the East Coast voters.
Speaker 5: You know how they now they roll.
Speaker 4: They all go to sleep at around ten thirty and
they don't stay up late enough.
Speaker 5: They just checked the box score.
Speaker 4: But at least the box store said BYU was dominant
in that forty four to thirteen win over TCU.
Speaker 5: It wasn't even close. It wasn't even competitive.
Speaker 4: The number twelve BYU Cougar's bounce back big time, led
by bear Bachmeyer. And they did it with style points.
I know, Kugarnation, they want that style point right now.
They feel you're like their in their in their bosom,
in their minds. That the committee and college football as
a whole, all of the pundits, the analysts, the talking heads,
they don't respect the stretch. Why they don't respect Brigham
right now in college football, not to the extent that
they should, not to the extent that that would validate
up to this point, a an at large at large bid. Okay,
And there's a big twelve component to all of this.
There's a public relations component to this that is outside
of BYU's control.
Speaker 5: And I get that.
Speaker 4: But the Cougars did what they were supposed to do
to get back into a much more advantageous, advantageous position
from a public relations standpoint. With this win, TCU a
good football team, a respectable football team.
Speaker 5: In their three losses, they.
Speaker 4: They are ridged okay, a losing scoring margin of six
and a half points.
Speaker 5: Two of those games were by three points. Guys, DC was.
Speaker 4: A good football team, good football team. They were a borderline,
you know, like a top twenty five team. Had they
not lost, iowas date I know, as the closemen had
that if sands or butts, I know, but they were
right there knocking on the door.
Speaker 5: They had a prolific offense.
Speaker 4: They could move the football against anybody defensively shut him
down offensively. Bear Bachmer looked as efficient as he ever
has under center under the lights of level is when
bear Bachmeyer ball's out Holy Canoli almost three hundred yards
through the year. Should add another touchdown pass too. If
guys didn't draw balls, he would have been well over
three hundred and fifty yards a throw game.
Speaker 5: And then he picked up an additional sixty and a
tunny knows how to get into the end zone. It was.
It was beautiful.

By the way, a little bit of breaking news. Austin Gooseby,
a b YU men's basketball recruit, has committed to ut
not b YU. Unfortunately, Austin Gooseby had BYU and his
I believe his top three and BA did not win out.
You're gonna take some l's in this recruiting game. You're
gonna take l's every now and again. You can't get
them all. And uh, that's okay, that's all right.
Speaker 5: Uh So Austin.
Speaker 4: Gooseby, you never know you can get him on the
maybe on the back end if he's not DA, if
it's not working out there in Austin. But I wish
Austin Gooseby, well, I think he was Uh he was
due BYU and Texas were the schools that were battling
for the four star guard. But in order to go
deep in the UH in the NCAA tournament, you need
guards like Gooseby.
Speaker 5: So a miss.
Speaker 4: But look in K why we trust. Let's get into
some SALDO. Let's talk about this.
Speaker 5: BYU TCU matchup. What did we learn? What did we love?
What did we not love? There was a lot to love.
Speaker 4: Let's be honest, very little to critique, very little to criticize.
In my opinion, the number twelve b a Cougar's at
the time, moved to nine to one on the season
with that forty four to thirteen win over TCU on
Saturday night at Lavelle Edwards Stadium. The Vampire Cougars were
out and about, rising and shouting, nocturnal creatures. Are we
we ball out under those Brigham University lights. The Cougar
scored on their first seven possessions of the night. Pretty
crazy to see that they had not punted until like
I think, the fourth quarter. They maintained that comfortable lead
for almost the entire game. You had bear Bachmeyer two
hundred and nine six passing yards.
Speaker 5: LJ. Martin had eighty eight rankings.
Speaker 4: We got more breaking do all right, Ronzie Bike com Police,
they're going elect the complete cerve elected Utah dot God,
what do you got for me?
Speaker 5: Ronald free Man.
Speaker 6: Weave Virginia Tech hires James Franklin.
Speaker 5: Then, oh, shoot, a great pickup. He knows that region
very well. In the recruiting game.
Speaker 4: He's gonna pick up recruits left and right, guys, I'm
telling you right now. And he still has got gas
in the tank. He still has gas that a lot
of people think, you know, he's getting old. James Franklin
still had plenty of gas in the tank.
Speaker 5: Need I remind you?
Speaker 4: James Franklin led the Penn State Nitney Lions to a
college football playoff bin and dominated that first round game
against SMU.
Speaker 5: It was like thirty eight to ten. It wasn't even close.
Speaker 4: Penn State was a great football team last year, and
you know what, they were a good I think borderline
great team this year.
Speaker 5: But you can't win them all.
Speaker 4: I don't know what you know happened within the donor
base who he offended? You know what equity stakeholders said
about James.
Speaker 5: But man, I feel bad. I feel bad. He's fifty
three years old. He's still young.
Speaker 4: Guys, Like, when you think James Franklin, do you think old, dilapidated,
no energy, no vigor in them left in him.
Speaker 5: Maybe there's some out there that believe that. I don't.
That's a great pickup. Kilani.
Speaker 4: By the way, fifty fifty, so I mean James fraangl
Oh three years older. This is a great pickup. Congratulations
to James Franklin and It just goes to show, like,
how how quickly this is the first vacancy. Isn't this
the first college football head coaching vacancy. The major vacancies
that have been that have been executed, I think this
is the first official one. Congratulations to Virginia Tech and
James Franklin. All right, let's get in to some of
the sound bites. Kilanie Satake commenting on this win over TCU,
what it means to the program, who stood out?
Speaker 5: This is his opening statement game.
Speaker 1: Really proud of the guys and proud of the the
way they bounce back for especially from last week. I
felt like there was a different certain sense of urgency
from them all week long in the prep and so
I'm glad that it all worked out. And you know,
tc is a really good team. We just I think
it was just a matter of us putting it all
together in all three phases. I think it worked out nicely,
and just you know, it felt felt good. This game
felt like I've been I've been asking us to do
this whole time. So it's my job to get them
to play this way every game. But I'm glad that
it showed up now, especially in November where we can
try to build some momentum off of it. So you know,
just taught to sunny before the game and everything and
just big twelve's crazy, you know, So around around this
time you got to be ready to play the end.
And we saw a lot of the games in college
football how closely they were, and so it's just nice
being in control of this one and just really proud
of the guys overall, proud of the coaches that they
worked really hard to and I thought it was a
a really good game plan in all three phases. Not
perfect enough, but like you know, what we'll take to win,
but there's a lot of room for improvement still and
we'll just get to work. And but right now we've
got to celebrate it and got to praise the guys
for what they were able to get done.
Speaker 4: So, so a couple things here with with Kilani and
his opening statement. He's been he's been saying this consistently,
we haven't played our best ball yet. We haven't played
our best ball yet. We have not had a complete
game yet.
Speaker 5: The one of the.
Speaker 4: Reasons why you've had these close games where b way
you had to really dig deep and utilize whole lot
of gritch and acity and fortitude mental physical emotional spirits
of fortitude in order to find a way to win.
Because you had two fastts that were balling in one
fascet that wasn't each game one of the three fastest,
it seems just fell short like into like mediocrity or
even just this average, and it's through below average. This
is the first game in which all three phases were
great to elite and look at the chasm. Look at
the difference in productivity, execution, and scoring versus this opponent,
a respected foe. Two years ago, guys BYU lost in
a similar fashion where the wheels came off at TCU.
And I actually asked Sonny Dykes about this, like what
can happen over the last two years, and like he
stated essentsions like this is not even the same team.
Like obviously BYU has in an accelerated fashion, and we've
seen it when we compare ourselves to be to the
universe of Utah right now, three straight you're winning trench warfare,
you're winning on the outside, you're winning in schematics, you're
winning in culture. Like it's crazy how accelerated the progress
has been has been under Kialani Sizake over the last
couple of years. You give a you give Kialan a
few recent sources, give him a little bit of that luker,
nothing filthy about it, and you'll be surprised at what
that man can build a championship program. Goodness gracious me.
Oh mind, So those are my initial thoughts on the
opening statement. Let's get back to it. What were the
areas of focus offensively for the game plan against TCU.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean offensively, I felt like it was just good,
let Bear throw the ball and you don't always have
to max pro for him. I think, let the left
the tackles block and let let the you know, we
we threw the ball a lot of different ways, play action,
but also we're able to just do some drop back
pass and uh just you know, just open the playbooks.
Just let's let's do our thing, and mixing the run too.
But I felt like we were just trying to do
whatever to get points on the board and keep the
keep the the first downs. I mean, that's a lot
of first downs, and so it's good to put it
all together and then taking care of the football. I
was really pleased with how our offense did that, but
it just felt felt like that was that's what we're
capable of doing. We's got to keep it the momentum
going and get into next week.
Speaker 4: Now, if you read between the lines on this, some
people would say, hey, he's taking a shot, that he's
criticizing the play calling of Aaron Roderick in the Texas
Tech game. I think he's just being open and honest
with the fans and the media that, hey, you don't
have to max pro for Bear Bachmeyer. You don't have
to max pro in order to continue to move to football.
He's alluding to the fact that they went max pro
too much versus Tech and didn't just let their guys
try to win one on ones in the Pro game
in the past Pro game and let Bear make.
Speaker 5: Plays with his legs too.
Speaker 4: Because he may have a four man rush that collapses,
but that doesn't automatically guarantee they collapse in the pocket.
Speaker 5: That doesn't automatically.
Speaker 4: Guarantee that Bear Bachmeyer is not going to slip out
of that, that he's not going to be able to
extend the play, that he's not going to be able
to rumble stumble for a four to five.
Speaker 5: Six yard eight ten years our game. Who knows right?
Speaker 4: So found that interesting kind of I was taking back
a little bit by by Oh, that was a little
bit of like a hey, we don't have the max
pro in order to have Bear throw the ball. Interesting,
Let's get back to it. And Bear was on point,
no doubt about it. The TCUs front is not nearly
as talented, not as talented on the edges as Texas Tech,
but they're pretty good. They're good football team, good defensive front.
Kilate You guys scored on the first seven drives and
didn't punt until the eighth.
Speaker 5: How pleased were you with the offensive efficiency? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I thought just having I mean, it helps when you
win first down, you know, so even though like I think,
I think some of the first downs were just a
three yard game, it's okay, and then you just build
off of that. I like that the guys were played.
They played pretty disciplined. I don't know how many penalties
we have, and two penalties I think one was one
was the PI at the end on our back and
then the other one was a hold I think on
on Chada on the fly fly sweep. So that I
mean that's the guys played pretty clean and not a
lot of mas on on on all three phases. I mean,
you guys played played pretty good. We can we can
do some really good things. That everyone plays clean football.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know what.
Speaker 4: I was most surprised by the fact that bear Bachmar
could have thrown for three hundred and fifty yards if
guys would caught the ball, or just two penalties.
Speaker 5: That guys is uh. I mean, look, I know you're
at home, but still two penalties, man.
Speaker 4: That shows that culture, discipline, execution, preparation. One out after
like after a significant loss to Tech. To me, if
you lose, you know, by by twenty two points on
the road to a very good football team, a top
ten football team, arguably a top five football team in Texas.
A lot of people that compete in those scenarios will say.
Speaker 5: Look, wow, we're so far off.
Speaker 4: I guess we weren't that good, right, I guess we're
not as good as we thought we were. Game day saws,
the entire nation saws. I'm embarrassed, right, I'm embarrassed. We're embarrassed.
Speaker 5: And you begin to fold.
Speaker 4: You almost have like this self defeating mentality that you
convert into that you resort to and to me, the
mental game is massive.
Speaker 5: I caught up with Braydon Brown prior to kickoff.
Speaker 4: He's the mental performance coach for this Bau Cougar football team.
Craig Manning is also an adjunct. I don't know if
you guys know this. Craig Manning also consults with the
BAU football players. He's primarily over basketball, but also over
football too. Those two guys keep you dialed, Like do
you remember the y Honis postgame commentary when when the
Bucks got bounced and one of the media members kind
of asked him, like, you know, do you view.
Speaker 5: This as a failure?
Speaker 4: He's like, what, No, I don't view my No, it's
not a failure.
Speaker 5: You know we're gonna come back better.
Speaker 4: Just because you know you had a bad day at
the office, does that mean you're a failure? Are you
able to provide for yourself and you're able to provide
for your family?
Speaker 5: All those things?
Speaker 4: Like, that's Craig Manning mentality, right. You don't focus so
much on failure. You utilize it and you conceptualize it
and it provides perspective about a number of things and
what you got to do next in order to get
back to that situation and hopefully win, but you're not
a failure because of it. And sometimes when you fail
like that twenty two point loss on the road to
a top five team, top ten team, you begin to
believe that you're a loser, like, oh, we're not as good,
can't we can't win. B YU completely bought into who
they were and and and remedied some of their weaknesses
heading into this TCU game and found a way to
freaking win, but not just win, but win in a
massively uh just positive from a public relations standpoint way.
Kalate number four, did you allow yourself to start thinking
about this notion that style points matter because of where
you're at in the college football rankings?
Speaker 1: No, I just want to win the game and and
and I mean winning is the best style to me.
So yeah, I wasn't thinking about any of that stuff.
We're just trying to grind the clock, and we weren't
really conservative at the end, trying to just end the game,
you know. So, and I was just happy with how
the guys responded. Got some reserve guys in there and
some really quality reps against their ones, and and I'm
glad they were going to stop and gave a little
bit too many yards, but they got they got to stop,
and it'll be it'll be great to build on that.
Speaker 4: The style points actually came more so off of a
mistake that BYU's a special teams unit made. The pick
six does not happen unless we turned the ball over late,
essentially on downs attempting a punt, just dropping it and
not kicking it and allowing TCU to recover it, right, Like,
I mean, that's what happened. And then what happened Josh
Hoover trying to press, trying to get back into the game,
trying to make it an irrespectable game down.
Speaker 5: You know, I mean three scores. He's like all right, like.
Speaker 4: He's starting to rip it, right, he's starting to get
after it, and it overshoot. He overshoots his intended receiver.
By the way, McAllister's like he like six', Four like he's, long.
Dude so you got a really really overshoot. It and
by the, way the defensive line beat Up Josh. Hoover
he got hit a number of. Times no tal C,
Lee Kiano toddavasa had a bull rush walk back quarterback.
Hit like do you guys realize like how celestial.
Speaker 5: That, is like when a nose tackle.
Speaker 4: Gets enough, leverage enough, violence enough push enough get off
where he's walking back in an accelerated fashion the, center
and he walks him all the way back to the,
quarterback and that quarterback is hit right and the offensive
lineman sometimes as he's getting walked, back will step on
the foot of the. Quarterback and, FURTHERMORE i Think kiano
Hit hoover's arm on the follow. Through hoover did not like,
That and so all those things add, up And hoover
had one of his worst performances over the last three
years of his career under the lights of level two.
Speaker 5: Picks he only threw.
Speaker 4: For a hun in eighty three yards and and he
had negative yardage and. RUNNING i thought he was actually
a little bit more athletic than than the all twenty
two had initially shown.
Speaker 5: Me, Right so, man, gosh dang that Was that was
so fun to.
Speaker 4: Watch and then you got to stop points because of,
it because t T wall the walk on THAT i
don't even think by you really. Wanted he had to
try out in springball at wide. Receiver somehow he found
a way to be on the. Team eventually he, realized
If i'm gonna play, here it.
Speaker 5: Ain't gonna be a wide.
Speaker 4: Receiver and he moved the Free and now he went
from walk on unwanted walk on to want preferred walk
on to starter to captain and. Star that is a difficult,
path ladies and. Gentlemen much respect to t Wall Tanner
Wall uh for doing that that stuff to do in college,
Football guys at THE p four, level you think of
like your own, industry think of your where you compete
in your own? Industry you know WHAT i? Mean, like
have you done? That? You are you anywhere close to
that in your own? Industry probably. Not none of us
are pretty impressive to, see you, know from unwanted to
star all, Right, uh let's get back to. It killate.
Uh AND i would like to see more style, points no.
Doubt do we need stole points versus, Senci? Yes do
we need more stole points FOR uc have you gotta
get the, win, obviously but if you can get style,
points it's a nice cherry on. Top right, Now, ronald
you were actually in the you were in the postgame
presser when when you heard the question you heard the
answer From.
Speaker 5: Kalotti what was your reaction to the comments.
Speaker 6: YOU i, mean you can stand on business and have,
that BUT i, mean look to, me don't LET i
mean other people play around which you're. Determined if you're
gonna go and get a second loss in The big twelve,
tournament now obviously they have to Be, cincinnati they have
to be uc and then get. There but if you
don't Beat Texas tech in The Big toe toada, game
and we're assuming that that's what Bal he's gonna, be
and then they kick you out of The college football,
playoffs whatever the reason, is it doesn't. Matter so obviously
you quote unquote not, winning you, know and well we
need to.
Speaker 5: Win out for it to, happen like so you need to.
Speaker 6: Do so what you're telling me is that if you
lose a game or two and you're not gonna get,
in you're saying that you have to run the table
and go undefeated every. Year like that doesn't make any
sense to. ME i think at some Point kline's gonna
have to look at this that if they don't get
in and they lose A Texas tech and whether It's
utah or Another big ten team OR sec, team they're
gonna have to come to a point where maybe your
style points do. Matter LIKE i Respect colonne for standing
on business and not wanting to have that, notion BUT
i disagree with. It BUT i think how you win
does play a factor to. People it just can't be your.
Resume and if you just want to go off of
wins a, resume you can do. That but if you're
gonna put that fate of human nature into someone, Else
utah is creeping right behind, You like look at the playoff.
Predictor they're predicting you're not gonna get, in so you
can have the. Mentality BUT i THINK Byu ben.
Speaker 5: Needs to Beat.
Speaker 6: Cincinnati they need to put up a forty burger, again
do the same thing that they need TO tcu To
cincinnati AND, ucf AND i think that will tell the
committee that they're.
Speaker 5: Serious let's get back to.
Speaker 4: It Kalani stocky post game after THE tcu, win do
you feel like you were treated fairly by The College
Football Playoff committee this last?
Speaker 5: Week?
Speaker 1: YEAH i don't get involved in, that, huh because you're
gonna keep playing, Ball so, Yeah i'm probably the wrong
guy to ask about that. Stuff you just.
Speaker 4: Play, ball just play, ball not going to get into.
It not going to get into the political positioning of my.
Team control what you, control focus on the task at.
Hand let the chips fall where they.
Speaker 5: May number.
Speaker 4: Six were you pretty fired up after That's satchwhila? Interception
then you Added Tanner walls ninety that picks. Six what
does that say about the opportunist nature of this defense
the old TCU's offense to one?
Speaker 1: Touchdown, YEAH i thought defensively at J hill and the,
STAFF i, mean the defense staff does an amazing, job
uh prepping for this, game and then the players has
executed everything that we asked him to and uh they
were to get some chunk YARDS i. THINK i think
in the run game, there you, know they were trying
to trying to force the, run but he got to
to the point where it was too far, there too
far behind to catch. Up so we knew that we
could we could make it hard on them at, least you,
know limit the big. Plays BUT i, THOUGHT i, thought, overall,
defensively great game. PLAN i was fired up By father's
interception because Tol c got Some pressure's what we brought
him here to, do you, know to get some, pressure
and he had a really good game and we just
got to get him on the, field And nucy and
all those guys done a great. Jobs so we used
a bunch of guys And, uh it's just nice to
see them coming along and giving them opportunities to make.
PLAYS i was fired up for the entire defense on that.
Speaker 5: Boom shocka, locka That's.
Speaker 4: Killane post, game we'll get back to some more sound
on the flip side and discussed this win over THE tcu. Horn,
uh what do we learn about this? Team how can
we prepare better For? Cincinnati cincinnati on the rope right,
now two consecutive.

Sound But i'd say the one issue that it was
like we had a negative thing happen in this, game
like one negative thing it felt, like and it was
the the fumbled. Punt that negative thing turned into a
roaring positive With tanner wall picking off a pass and
taking it to the house and putting a little bit
of that that that style point, action that kugarnation like
they showed up For like B yu fans were already
pretty pretty, stoked whether they were at home watching from
the comfort of their couch or or At LAVELLE Atir
stadium on a, cool brisk evening that was perfect for fall.
Speaker 5: Football that, Ended, okay was pretty.
Speaker 4: Tremendous it just was, like, yeah you like those nail
biders at the end of a, game, right the nail
biders going into ot and the celebratory. Nature those are
probably the, best especially when you have a big name.
Team but THE usc game a few years ago When
King slovas came to, town, right maybe The Mississippi state
game With taysum had like the walk, off a game
winning field, goal whatever it may. Be okay historically Beating
miami At, Lovell but like the style, point like the
close second to that for me is a, dominant blowout
victory versus a good opponent and you ended with something,
unexpected a defensive, touchdown a special teams, touchdown a. Turnover
think Of Gennaro GILFORD'S i int running down the sideline
on that e on the east side of the stadium Versus.
Speaker 5: Utah you know WHAT i, Mean it's, like, oh, Shoot
utah's got the.
Speaker 4: Ball oh, crap not so, Fast coach g picked off
that out route trying to get towards the sticks and the.
Speaker 5: Sideline not this.
Speaker 4: Time so those are the type of THINGS i, love
second to those nail, byers BECAUSE i do like an
entertaining game versus versus a formidable. Foe But kalani was
asked about the. Punt let's let's get into, It. Killadi
what made you actually let's go? Back they did change.
Punters you, Know sam vanderhor did not play this, Game,
kalati what made you change punters AGAINST?
Speaker 1: Tcu, Well, Sam sam punted last. Week he was banged.
Up he was hurt on his kicking. Leg SO i
probably explained some of the shanks that he. Had he
had a couple of, shanks and that wasn't that wasn't,
like that's not how he kicks. Normally SO i think
you remember at the end of the third quarter beginning the,
fourth we were trying to pin them deep and went
off the side of his, foot and so the decision
was to let him hold and then rest him from.
Kicking and SO i hope that you, know he can
he can be ready to go this next. Week But,
Fuller fuller is great fully can. Kick he's got a strong.
Leg it's just unfortunate that he dropped the ball on that.
One and because he's such a talented, kicker and, so you, know,
well were still believe in. Him he's he's still, young
but BUT i, think, uh he'll get his. Opportunities AND
i told, Him i'm you, know we still have faith
in him being a kicker for.
Speaker 4: Us SO i, Know ronnie was, like, well, hey wait a,
second this guy didn't show up on the injury.
Speaker 5: Report he was dinged, up, right what's going?
Speaker 4: On?
Speaker 5: Right like what he you? Know AND i was, like
you know, what that's. Right you know he he wasn't
on the injury.
Speaker 4: Report we didn't know. That he was a little bit dinged.
Up and THEN i went into a deep state of.
Thought i'm, like, well wait a. Second Though Sam vanderhaller
played in this. Game he just held the ball on,
kicks that's all he. Did so we did get some
reps he, played so he was. Available he just wasn't
available to. Punt he did not kick the, ball but
he held the, ball you know WHAT i? Mean, so,
like did be why you have to put him on
the inter? REPORT i don't think, so because he actually.
Played it's LIKE i don't know what the equivalency would
be for the other like other.
Speaker 5: Positions, right like is it you, know like you, know if.
Speaker 4: You're a defensive guy and YOUR i don't, know like
your shoulders injured or something like, that but you can
still play on special, teams, right they're not gonna you
know WHAT i, Mean like you, know the.
Speaker 5: There's not an.
Speaker 4: EQUIVALENCY i guess he was the. Holder he, played so
he didn't show up on the injury. Report, Ronald so,
UH i, understand like you were, like wait a, second
didn't show up on the inter, report but he did,
play so he was.
Speaker 6: AVAILABLE i, mean, look IF i just have to have
account of billion all, facets the injury reporter is who's
who's been? Nicked, right dealing with? Something if you didn't
put them on. There For, Texas tech is a probable.
Speaker 4: And thes weren't injured though it was just BUT i
mean that's still an, injury, Though, ben, like an injury
is an.
Speaker 6: Injury we can't say the nepets of, it, like, look but.
Speaker 5: There was no doubt that he was gonna hold he
was Never.
Speaker 6: Yeah but this is going back but he said he
was banged up going to The Texas tech, Game like
that's what it was like if you're going back, There
i'm talking about that injury, Report i'm not talking about
coming INTO, Tcu like that's what is. LIKE i just
don't Want bou to get caught up In, look they're,
good they're they're watching these. Things so if you say
a guy is banged, up like hurt and, injury you
gotta be careful how you just worded that in a
press conference because with these injury, reports it already happened
To utah and right, now anything for the national, Media big,
Twelve brett Yor, mark they're gonna try to do. Anything right, Now,
BEN i think to Keep byu out of, It, LIKE
i don't think they want bo to be on that.
Stage so you just got to make sure you cover
all your p's and, q's right when you have somebody
that is against. You And i'm, saying, yes the national
media AND i feel like The big twelve break. YOU
i don't think they like b he's a. BRAND i
don't think they want you to be d. Brand you
just got to make sure you watch your back because
now everybody has your best interest in when you say banged,
up yet he was, injured he's, heard it's like he's
got to BE i just want you to watch that
in that. Way that's All i'm.
Speaker 5: Saying what are the?
Speaker 4: Ramifications what are the repercussions when you don't put a
player on the injury report and he doesn't play due to, injury,
RIGHT i don't.
Speaker 5: KNOW i don't know what the reprimand. IS i don't
know what the fine.
Speaker 4: IS i don't know what the accountability is because deonce
said it's all about just gambling, Anyway so it's a
it's a gambling. DEBT i guess it's. That that's the
that's the. Fine but it is. Interesting, nevertheless all, right,
guys let's get back to the. Sound let's discuss it
by breaking it all. Down how did you feel Like
bear rebounded after the game Against Texas Tech, Kilane, YEAH i.
Speaker 1: Thought he did a good. JOB i THOUGHT i thought
he looked different this week in. PRACTICE i think he
wasn't happy with the result and how he played last
week he. CAN i like it when, guys you, know
show it in the week of, prep and so all
week in practice he was he was a little bit.
Different he was more focused on what he wanted to
get done this. Weekend so it was good to see.
Speaker 4: That bear was definitely dialed. In what was the most impressive?
Throw what was the most impressive? Play would you say
that you saw From bear On? Saturday what do you
got for? Me ronald the three Man?
Speaker 6: Weaver you're gonna think this is, funny and you just
could Think i'm taking shots TO billi. Players the most
impressive one was to throw The parker that he.
Speaker 4: Dropped it's so, funny, MAN i was sitting the same.
THING i.
Speaker 5: Was saying the same. THING i was, like if he's
not gonna say, it Then i'm gonna say. It but
it was The, Parker pikingston throw man. Early that thing
was a, dime bro a. Dime so many drops back these, Receivers, ben.
Speaker 4: Oh, like how many drop balls have there been this?
Speaker 5: SEASON a?
Speaker 4: Lot Ben, Like And i'm not even talking about like
the three That chase kind of want to drop in
contact diving for.
Speaker 5: It you, know these are very.
Speaker 4: Different i'm not talking about Those i'm just talking, about
like just wide, open hit your hands and you drop.
Speaker 5: It, man probably too many.
Speaker 4: Man and Granted i'll say this Much bear does throw
a catchable, football but those that watch THE tv copy
the throw To Jojo phillips to the sideline that he
ended up kind of catching it with his. Body jojo
needs to catch with his body all the, time because
when he catches with his, hands he drops. It he's
having some issues as he acclimates reacclimates to. It but
that ball was as wobbly as a duck As i've ever,
seen and so, like, look you don't have to throw
a perfect spial for it to be. Catchable but sometimes
if it does come out a little, wobbly maybe.
Speaker 5: It's less likely to be.
Speaker 4: Caught that's the only Grace i'll give at this time
to the wide. Receivers the rule of, thumb the rule
of hand is if it hits your, hands you gotta catch.
Speaker 5: It so no.
Speaker 4: Excuses play like a. Champion rule number fifty Seven wedding.
Crashers it's not a good. Movie don't watch it unless
you're a grown man and you do it alone or with. Friends,
okay don't watch in front of your wife.
Speaker 5: And after you from your.
Speaker 4: Mission you have to serve a mission first to be
able to partake of sinful consumption of. Movies, Yeah i'm
telling you got to have a two year hiatus of
impulse control before you can watch, that you know that.
Speaker 5: Stuff it's LIKE i Watched Home alone.
Speaker 4: Recently, right what did mcaulay, Cokein Uh kevin, say like
once the once the parents had left and he's, watching,
uh watching dirty. Movies you better come and stop. Me
you don't want to watch that stuff when you're. Young
just when did you after you've returned from a. Mission
but weddings phenomenal. Film phenomenal. Film, Anyway, uh let's get
back to the. Sound great, dialogue fantastic. Dialogue how big
a focus was it to GET lj more volume and more?
Speaker 1: Touches, YEAH i mean we know that if we can
just give him the, ball he's you, know he's he's
healed up a little bit so he can, deliver you,
know a little bit of some punishment and SO i
don't mind letting him earn those yards like. That it's, okay.
Speaker 5: All, right there you.
Speaker 4: Go that's Uh klaanie DISCUSSING. Lj he did get more,
totes and he looked. Better he looked, faster he looked,
bigger he looked. Stronger he looked like his old, self
not his injured, self not his less confident. Self number,
Ten carson had the best performance of his collegiate, career
seventy nine yards and a. Touchdown what does it do
for your offense when you can get the tight end
involved in the pass game like.
Speaker 1: That, Yeah i'm really proud of all That carson. DOES i,
mean he's tonight he was able to catch the, ball
but for the most, part he's been amazing all year.
Long blocking and working With kean and And no on
the other tight, ends they've done a great. Job so
just really proud of all that he's. Done it was
good to see him get the ball and.
Speaker 4: Score Look like early on in the, Season Carson ryan
was highly, utilized highly favored by his play. Caller he
had a lot of, targets it, seemed and he had
two touchdowns in the first three. Games now he's been
targeted SINCE. Ecu he had three receptions for forty six
yards Versus, colorado two for nineteen Versus West virginia four
for thirty six Versus utah two for thirteen Versus Iowa,
state four for thirty two Versus Texas, tech and then
four for seventy.
Speaker 5: Nine like so it's been.
Speaker 4: Consistent he's got twenty eight, receptions three hundred and seventy
one yards thirteen point three yards per, reception along with
forty three and three.
Speaker 5: Touchdowns but it seemed like there was a little bit of.
Speaker 4: A, lull, right there was a little bit of a
law Between colorado and Maybe Iowa. State even though he
had four for thirty six and three for forty six
in Versus. Colorado that to, ME i mean He's i've
been going about just doing his, business blocking, well doing his,
job and then he got really highlighted this, game AND
i asked a follow up because the form and fashion
which they Utilized carson was. Unique he's typically been as
it utilized as an inline tight end this, year everyone
now and again maybe flexed in like a trip's situation
where he's the lead guy on the line of scrimmage
and he's got two wide receivers behind him and he's
in a blocking. Situation you, know it wasn't necessarily a passing.
Situation all the, Time carson was highly, favored getting SOME iso,
match AND i, said, hey could you expound on the
Way carson was lining up and utilized in this particular
offensive game.
Speaker 1: Plan, YEAH i, THINK i, mean looking at the game,
plan A rod did a great job at organizing different
looks and then you, know throwing bullet screens out there
a little bit when WHEN i mean he can he's
athletic enough that he can run routes on, dvs but
he's ALSO i mean he's physical that he can use
him to block too out in. Space SO i mean
this has been really nice to be able to use
all the guys and all the weapons that we, have
and it was good that everybody was able to. Execute
So i'm just really proud of overall the.
Speaker 4: Performance, yes, Indeed Carson, ryan great work from.
Speaker 5: Him the return of the tight.
Speaker 4: End how does it, Feel, COUGARNATION i mean, this you,
Know i'm looking back at you, know tight end, utilization
and A rod Compared Carson ryan To Isaac, rex the
last complete tight.
Speaker 5: End he, Said.
Speaker 4: Isaac rex in twenty, twenty twenty twenty one was was
balling out like a lot of. Targets not ONLY i
mean a lot of them came in the red.
Speaker 5: Zone i'll be.
Speaker 4: HONEST i mean he had a lot of touchdown catches
in A byu uniform between twenty twenty and two thousand twenty.
One IF i pull it up right, now twenty twenty
one he had he only had eighteen receptions under ninety one.
Speaker 5: Yards remember he got. INJURED i believe he got.
Speaker 4: Injured, well he was a little bit injured that early
on in that in that maybe in that in that
season thirty. Seven though in twenty twenty at thirty seven
for four to twenty nine twelve. Touchdowns crazy twenty twenty
had eighteen reception one hundred ninety one yards and three.
Touchdowns it was twenty twenty two, maybe is What i'm thinking.
Of twenty two, receptions three hundred twenty, yards fourteen point
five yards per.
Speaker 5: Reception and six.
Speaker 4: Touchdowns so you're looking at the stats and like A
rod promised it the return at the tight, end he's
on pace at least from a receiving, standpoint not necessarily
receiving touchdown. Standpoint to be on pace with one of
the best seasons and be in a from a tight,
END i think from a scoring, Standpoint Isaac rex had
thirty seven reception four hundred and twenty nine yards in
twenty twenty and twelve.
Speaker 5: Touchdowns SO i love What i'm seeing From Carson.
Speaker 4: Ryan all, right let's move on a couple more sound
bites From Kalani saitake post. Game so To Celia kane
and new c Talmboy pey who got sacks, late how
do you feel this pass rush is coming along in
the final stretch of the.
Speaker 1: Season, yeah they're still, young so so they're coming along,
really really. Nicely and and it's it's it's the right.
Timing so we'll see what. Happens we got another beast next,
week you, know and and AND i Mean cincinnati throws
the ball all over the, place so this will be
a good opportunity for those guys to see what they can.
Do but, Yeah i'm just really compleased with everybody and
how they. Work this, WEEKEND.
Speaker 4: I was like the The Brent pine two, minutes two,
minutes two, questions two. Questions you lost whalin uh in
this game due to? Injury was he the only one
that went down that you were aware?
Speaker 5: Of?
Speaker 1: YEAH i think, HE i, MEAN i think he'll be.
Fine he's, tough you, know he's. Uh we just have
a really good rotation and no point in putting him
in if he wasn't going to be one hundred. Percent you,
Know sonny and and Uh kyle and the rest of
them can can take care of.
Speaker 5: It so And. Austins this final question is very very.
IMPORTANT i asked.
Speaker 4: It some people say it's not that good of a,
Question but let me take a. Question let me give
you a little bit of a background on. This let's
talk ABOUT bau basketball for a. Moment you want to be,
trending playing your best basketball When february, Right February, march,
yep B yu football right. NOW i think it's going
to be trending in these final three. Games he saw VERSUS.
Tcu you're gonna see. It For, Cincinnati you're gonna see
it Versus. Ucia they're going to be playing their best
football from the entire. Season why B yu is freaking.
Healthy they're like ninety five percent. Healthy there's guys that are.
Out there's no doubt good football players that are. Out
tommy's out Right, WAYLAND i don't know if he's. IF
i don't think it's gonna be a serious injury, right
but like there's Enough.
Speaker 5: Marcus McKenzie and and.
Speaker 4: Who else was out this? Game give me some more, names, right,
like who else did we have that was? Out anybody?
ELSE i don't have the injury report in front of.
Me Cody hagen was. Out Cody hagan was. Out but like,
Overall Matthias, leach we're pretty gosh dang.
Speaker 5: Healthy you compare our.
Speaker 4: Injury report to any other team in The big, twelve
and it seems LIKE byu is the healthiest team in
The big. Twelve and that means so much if you
want to be, playing like if you want to be
playing your best ball In november leading up To, december
like that's something that boy hasn't done well enough and
you thought you weren't gonna get there after that That lubbock,
game That Texas tech. Game BUT i Am marie and bigger.
Rate i'm more confident than ever that because we are.
Healthy AND i Asked, colina, hey could you speak to
that like the health of this team and how that's
impacting this?
Speaker 1: Team, Kali, YEAH i THINK i think a lot of
factors go into. It one is the training, room you,
know were our trainers has done amazing job with our.
Doctors and then you have to give a lot of
credit to the to the strength, room to to our strength,
coaches To phillis and the group and then And scott
has done a great job organizing the entire. Thing so
when when they are able to you, know we use
science with with what we do and and we've been,
physical you, know we've been physical this this entire season
and then especially during during, camps and SO i think
that stuff is all starting to carry out where AND
i think right NOW i expect our guys to be
stronger now than they they've ever. Been and so the
step statistics tell us, that and the analytics tell us
that we're doing a really good job right now and
probably better shape now than we were even six weeks.
Ago so that's good going, into you, know to the
end of the.
Speaker 4: Season so the old way of approaching the football season
AND vic may you, know you, know chime in on,
this right and like maybe you feel, This ronnie And,
Brett like you, know traditionally you get a big offseason, going.
Speaker 5: Right you hit the, protein you hit the, creatine.
Speaker 4: You're hitting the weights, right you're, Conditioning you're getting, bigger, faster,
stronger you put on that extra ten, pounds, right all
this stuff and you get into fall, camp and you
typically lose the water weight because you're running around a
little bit. More you get the, deans the. Bruises you
start getting into the season and you get weaker in
the weight. Room you're not able to push as much.
Weight you, know you start to just kind of just
just inch by and you're trying to maintain your. Weight
you're trying to maintain your, strength but it just without.
Failed you're a little bit. Weaker what sports these sports
sciences have, Done Colby, Skyler Ryan shoot has an extension of.
That the medical, staff the medical training, Staff Brett, MORTENSEN.
Speaker 5: Tj, bass et.
Speaker 4: Cetera and in combination with, Nutrition, Okay dan like they
they have possibly created a football team per kilane that's
actually getting stronger towards the end of the. Year you're
able to push more weight or just as much weight as.
Speaker 5: You were leading up till fall.
Speaker 4: Camp, MAN i didn't figure out THAT i could actually
maintain my strength.
Speaker 5: In the football season until my senior. Year.
Speaker 4: OKAY i would go in after practice AND i would
get a full body you know, Lift so we would
do kind of like a full body lift sometimes in the.
Morning sometimes you, know just like once or twice a.
Week it seemed right just to try to maintain some
of the Straight but Then i'd go in out and
get some extra ancillary auxiliary work. Done little body build,
here you, know just to create a, pump the. Pump,
right if you've ever watched pumping iron with With Arnold,
swarzenegger you know What i'm talking.
Speaker 5: About you feel that, Pump feel that, pump.
Speaker 4: You, know and there's he uses an, adverb the jerund
and and and it's just, glorious, right you just feel the.
Pump AND i used to. LIFT i used to at
least get a little upper body pump and going into
my senioror you, know the night before too at the
hotel and go into the gym and get a little
thirty minute pump just for the, arms the, buys the,
tries the, shoulders keep it nice at, rhomboids, traps you,
know and just get the blood flow a little blood
and and and just flow type of type of.
Speaker 5: Procedure and this, team.
Speaker 4: They're just as strong as where they, started and they're getting.
Stronger that to me spells championship. Squad hopefully they meet
the standard out In sinci that Was kalate post game
