Speaker 2: All right.

12
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:31,719
Speaker 1: We discussed it in the first hour. You know, don't

13
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,719
want to hop on it too much. Just gotta wait

14
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:35,679
to see if there is breaking news, what will happen.

15
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,000
As Brett and I were talking about Jay Hill Michigan,

16
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:42,799
who could be taken you know, reports of Jason Beck

17
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,439
THEOC what is true?

18
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: It's not trural.

19
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: We'll just wait. I know that that's important, that's what

20
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,280
the fans want to hear. But until we get breaking news,

21
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:53,039
until we discuss, I don't want to beat the dead horse.

22
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:55,000
So I do want to show some love to this

23
00:00:55,119 --> 00:00:56,079
BYU football team.

24
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:56,359
Speaker 3: Brett.

25
00:00:56,359 --> 00:00:58,119
Speaker 1: I was telling you during the break, we're gonna get

26
00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:00,719
into the Kilane, Evan Johnson and be bach Myer post

27
00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:03,719
game because I do think it is necessary to highlight

28
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,359
a team that picked up its twelfth win for the

29
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:09,159
first time since two thousand and one. Little stat of

30
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,680
today too, brought to you by Banner Wall so you

31
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:14,400
never want to, you know, overlook this, like this was

32
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:16,640
a gritty game, twenty five to twenty one to win.

33
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,920
We're gonna hear from Brady pupinking the five o'clock hour

34
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,120
and I'm gonna have been ask him how good of

35
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:24,040
a win was this? How good was bear to do this? Literally,

36
00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:27,400
in my opinion, Brett on one leg. Like I know

37
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:29,439
he has two legs because that's what you do as humans,

38
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:33,159
but he had no ankle, no left ankle. I'm serious, Like, honestly,

39
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,959
I know you're probably gonna hate that I'm pulling this up.

40
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,879
And I'm not trying to do a Chris collins Worth

41
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,680
where I bring up a guy that's torn his aco

42
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,799
for the entire year on Sunday Night Football.

43
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to do that.

44
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: But like it literally felt like Patrick mahomes Lamar Jackson,

45
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:49,640
you know, Josh Allen big time players in the NFL

46
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,239
type s to not have a not have something going

47
00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:54,359
well and just go out there on ball out and

48
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:56,560
rip the ball for over three hundred yards in a

49
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,319
touchdown and get it done. So look, Bear to me

50
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:03,680
was phenomenal. I mean, I'll get your thoughts here momentarily, Brad,

51
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,760
But I just I don't know else you want If

52
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,319
you're bafense, what else would you ask if a rod

53
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,639
for the quarterback to be not not that mobile?

54
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: Oh, play McKay Hillstead.

55
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, obviously they didn't, which means they don't what

56
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:15,719
they don't trust them.

57
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:16,879
Speaker 3: So for Bear to do that hurt.

58
00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:19,479
Speaker 1: Could you honestly say a healthy McKay or a healthy

59
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,039
Tracing or a healthy Emmerson Goma could do better. I

60
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:23,879
don't think so, and I think people do. And sometimes

61
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,719
you can't do this as a coach, But my coach

62
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:28,360
would do this in rugby. If a guy really thought

63
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,719
he was good, he put him out there against the

64
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,080
main squad, the A team, and when they messed up,

65
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,560
they're like, all right, you can't do it against your

66
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:34,960
own guys.

67
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 3: What makes you think you're gonna do it in the game.

68
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,719
So sometimes I.

69
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,719
Speaker 1: Wish that could people could see that, just to see

70
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:42,680
the disparity of it's not the coordinator sometimes it's just

71
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,319
the player. But anyway, we'll discuss that here in a second.

72
00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:47,520
This segment reading between the lines of Guy is gonna

73
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,360

for an appointment or visit us at Orthroprosyutah dot com.

83
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: Brett.

84
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: Before we get into the sound from Kalane, just your

85
00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:20,080
takeaways and your thoughts from Bear twenty seven of thirty

86
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,800
eight three to twenty five, a touchdown and an interception

87
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,719
had a radio I think of over one forty six

88
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:27,719
as well at completion percentage over sixty.

89
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: Five what else could you have asked for?

90
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: From now, I'm not even gonna say a true freshman,

91
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,439
the true sophomore, because the season is over now, the

92
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:37,759
true sophomore quarterback. Last quarterback Brett to throw for over

93
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,280
three thousand yards in the season was by the one

94
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:43,400
man name of Trevor Lawrence Sunshine who's playing for the

95
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:45,199
Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL.

96
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,319
Speaker 4: Right now, well, let me do you one better. Let

97
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:50,879
me upgrade those stats for you a little bit. In

98
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,319
Bear bachmeers two games this season without one l J.

99
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,240
Martin Iowa State Georgia Tech. He's two and zero sixty

100
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,360
seven percent, four total touchdowns, one interception, six hundred and

101
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,719
thirty two pass yards, thirteen carries for forty nine yards.

102
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,159
When Bear doesn't have his number one weapon, he's still

103
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,680
pretty incredible. And when anytime we say Bear is incredible,

104
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,639
I think it's understood or it needs to be understood

105
00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:22,920
that Aaron Rodricks is co signing with all of that.

106
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,079
Anytime we're talking about how gray Bear Bachmeyer is, we

107
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,959
everyone needs to make sure that they put some respect

108
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,759
on Aaron Rodericks the name for putting Bear in position

109
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,199
to be that successful one cannot be successful without the other.

110
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,680
They need each other, they work in tandem. They both

111
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,920
deserve a lot of credit. It's unreal, honestly that when

112
00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:47,800
you hear that kind of stat those kinds of numbers,

113
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:48,519
and to think.

114
00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:50,399
Speaker 2: About the fact that Bear.

115
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: Without LJ Martin has been exceptional by the way NEWI

116
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,519
they're one of those games were at home. Both of

117
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,439
them either were either a road game or a neutral

118
00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:02,920
site game, neither one at l Ees. When Bear and

119
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,759
a Rod haven't had LJ this season, they have found

120
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,439
ways to win ballgames. And it makes me scratch my

121
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:13,319
head a little bit because it makes me go, man,

122
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,959
how good would this team be if they just got

123
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,279
into more straight dropback passing situations? But then I have

124
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,560
to push back with myself and say, hey, they still

125
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,720
went twelve and two. The only team they lost to

126
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:29,120
was Texas Tech. And I don't think they were beating

127
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,360
Texas Tech. Even if they somehow found the magic in

128
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:34,160
the pass game that they found in the Iowa State

129
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:36,399
and Georgia Tech game, like, I think they'd be just

130
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,959
as good. They still would be twelve and two had

131
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,279
they switched up the game plan and made it more

132
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,040
drop back passing but I think it just goes to

133
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:53,959
show how elite and offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick is that

134
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:59,800
he run. He basically coached the season with a hand

135
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,399
and half tied behind his back because he loses Jake

136
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:06,920
Retzlov has a month to get a true freshman quarterback

137
00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:09,120
ready for the season. They go twelve and two. They

138
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,120
play two games without l J. Martin, and they dominate

139
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:14,720
in those games. They find a way to find magic

140
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,000
in the past game. In this game against Georgia Tech,

141
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,639
they got to come back from down eleven points.

142
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: This game alone.

143
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: I felt like was a great way to encapsulate the

144
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,800
entirety of the season. It was really a microcosm of

145
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,920
every game that they played. It was a great way

146
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,680
to summarize everything. BYU found a way to win against

147
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:43,759
Georgia Tech even despite not having their number one weapon,

148
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,519
and they deserve a ton of credit. Jovesa deserves a

149
00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:50,920
ton of credit. Chase Parker Jojo. There's so many guys

150
00:06:50,959 --> 00:06:52,439
you're not gonna be able to name all of them,

151
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,399
but a total team effort from BYU.

152
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: Man, what a pop Tart bowl if weaking knew?

153
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,959
Speaker 1: Oh no, all right, here's the breaking news. I hope

154
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
fans are ready, Brett, I hope you're ready as well.

155
00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:13,839
Speaking of quarterbacks, speaking up bear Bachmeyer easier, easier, burdens everybody.

156
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,240
I know, people like Ron No, what's happening, don't know

157
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,279
if it's gonna happen, but I can tell you per

158
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:22,920
Blair and Gulo from twenty four to seven Sports b YU,

159
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,800
redshirt sophomore quarterback McKay Hillstead intends to enter the transfer

160
00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:30,319
portal of Source Tales twenty four to seven Sports pass

161
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:32,920
for one thousand and sixty two yards and eleven touchdowns

162
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,120
as a freshman at Utah State before making the move

163
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:40,000
to BYU. It was his job to lose. Obviously lost

164
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,839
it to bear Bachmeyer. Bear threw for over three thousand yards.

165
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,040
We're on this topic, this discussion, right, Brett. This is

166
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,079
now surprised by anybody. You should not be shocked by this.

167
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,439
If you are, don't know what to tell you. But

168
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,399
this is just he's transferring for what Brett, When someone

169
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:57,959
goes into the portal, like Klane says, and we can

170
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,079
sit it here, why is McKay leaving because he's not

171
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,120
going to what play? He's not gonna play? Like if

172
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,920
you think and I wanted to just tell this to people.

173
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:08,680
If Bear was hurt that bad, then why didn't they

174
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,199
play McKay in the Big Twelf title game?

175
00:08:10,519 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: Why didn't they play Bear? You know other they didn't.

176
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,839
Speaker 1: They ran McKay with one plan, then they brought him

177
00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:16,920
out due to some other things, maybe not having a

178
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,879
rushing attack and building it up before Javessa decided to

179
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,160
go crazy in the second half. He only had one touch,

180
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:24,600
one carry, and then he did something phenomenal with the

181
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:27,079
other six and scoring his first career touchdown shot at

182
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:31,439
the JD. But it's just that's the nature of college athletics.

183
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,679
And I mean, look at this point, Brett, you from Georgia.

184
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:38,759
Georgia has how many stars behind you know, the starting quarterback?

185
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,000
There's more four and five? Okay, Hey, I think it's

186
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,519
the same thing at BAU. Bo needs to build a

187
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:46,840
robust backup system of where you do have bau guys

188
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,600
like Emerson Goleman, you have a trace in Borgai, but

189
00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:52,360
your backup needs to be a guy that can sling

190
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:54,799
the football too. It should be at the point of

191
00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:56,960
where it's Jaker, it's out, Gary Bohannon.

192
00:08:57,039 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: That's what it should be. It should be that type

193
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,879
of talent in your in your room.

194
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: Now you might say, oh, they're only going to be

195
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,960
there for a semester, they might leave after spring ball.

196
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,960
Then that just be the case. Let that be the case.

197
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,840
But look at the other football programs around that are

198
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,559
competing at the highest level for national championships. You got

199
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,840
talent behind And I don't know, I don't necessarily know

200
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:18,919
if the coaching staff as a whole this is killiney included,

201
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:23,320
if they trusted those guys, because there's moments where if Bear,

202
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,279
when Bear tried to push off on that second to

203
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,159
five and couldn't it just got to the line of

204
00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:30,960
scrimmage and Lily his ankle not blew out, but just

205
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,720
it said Nope, you're not doing it. If you had

206
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,720
a guy that could throw just as good as Bear,

207
00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:38,080
or if not better behind Brett, why would you not

208
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,840
bring him in even if he says no, keep me out.

209
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,240
It's the same thing with Jaron Hall when Jaron Hall

210
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:45,200
got hurt and don't tell me it's not true because

211
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,559
they didn't trust Jacob Conover to the degree because they

212
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,000
put in Baylor Romney. They put they did, they put

213
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,200
in Baylor Romney. They put in Baylor Romney, and Baylor

214
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,120
went out there and you know, slung the football and

215
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:57,039
then when Jared got healthy, came back. So I think

216
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,279
right now a question maybe going into the offseason, Brett,

217
00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:01,960
that we need to ask having a having a good

218
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,559
backup quarterback that can throw the football. Now, Emerson's young.

219
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,080
I feel like if he was older, he would be

220
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:09,679
that guy. But it's in the same breath right now.

221
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,399
I don't think they have a good backup because McKay's leaving.

222
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,519
Trason will come back for a senior year. Maybe it's Tracy.

223
00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:17,240
You don't know if he's gonna go. Emerson's gonna go

224
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,360
on a mission. Writers going on a mission mission next year,

225
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:21,519
so he won't come in right away.

226
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:23,519
Speaker 3: Uh, you don't.

227
00:10:23,639 --> 00:10:23,919
Speaker 5: I don't.

228
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,399
Speaker 1: I didn't think this would be a question right now, Brett.

229
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:28,440
But I'm a little bit concerned. There's not a lot

230
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:29,919
of depth in this quarterback room.

231
00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:31,039
Speaker 2: No, there's not.

232
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,799
Speaker 4: I'm pulling up the recruiting class rankings right now because

233
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,559
if I remember correctly, there is no incoming quarterback recruit

234
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:44,720
As I am pulling it up, and I don't believe

235
00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:48,000
there's a quarterback in this twenty twenty six class. Yet

236
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,039
I'm trying to remember if the Syracuse kids sweet Wine

237
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,799
was twenty twenty six or what.

238
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:57,519
Speaker 3: He was committed.

239
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,799
Speaker 4: I think he dec committed from BAU right, but what

240
00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:01,840
he the twenty twenty six class was my question.

241
00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:03,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he was. I think he was the next.

242
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,759
Speaker 4: Class, so right, I'm I did misspeak a little bit.

243
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:10,399
Rider Lions is technically in that twenty twenty six class,

244
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:11,799
but we know he's not going to be coming in

245
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,679
with this group, so you're probably not getting someone who's

246
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,919
a freshman coming in this class to be a backup quarterback.

247
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,919
Speaker 2: But also Ron, we do know what it is.

248
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 4: It's not the end of the world because transfer portal

249
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,559
giveth and the transfer portal will take if away. So

250
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,720
you are going to have to go out and find

251
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,799
a quarterback in the transfer portal, probably to back up

252
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,639
Bear Bachmeyer. Again, it'll be interesting to see what Tracon

253
00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:52,600
boor Gay decides because Bear, I mean you kind of

254
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:56,639
outlined this like they they felt more confident in a

255
00:11:57,039 --> 00:11:59,240
seventy percent Bear than a.

256
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: McKay said or Trayson Bourge.

257
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 4: Okay, cool, and there doesn't really seem like the type

258
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,639
of guy who's gonna get hurt that often just because

259
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,159
of how tough he is. But then what's your option

260
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,720
if he does go down, who is going to be

261
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:22,039
there and do Tracon and McKay say hey, or does

262
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,960
Tracon I guess say hey, I've sat here, I've watched this.

263
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:30,000
I need to go somewhere where I have an opportunity

264
00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:31,000
that's best for me.

265
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: This quarterback position.

266
00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:37,039
Speaker 4: Ron with McKay Hillstead leaving, I think we kind of

267
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,559
just thought he'd be here for forever. What is going

268
00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:45,919
to happen with the future of the backup quarterback position?

269
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,559
Which is hilarious the irony of where BYU has gone

270
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:55,879
in a year Ron to say a year ago at

271
00:12:55,879 --> 00:12:58,360
this time, we're sitting there with Jake rutzof saying, hey,

272
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:02,279
this guy is the future, and then you have Bear

273
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,080
Bachmeyer come in and you say, okay, cool, this guy

274
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,559
could develop once Jake is no longer at BYU. Then

275
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,080
Jake leaves and you're saying, hey, we're not worried about

276
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,039
backup quarterback. We're worried about who's going to become the starter.

277
00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:19,000
And eventually you find out it's Bear. And what's funny

278
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,879
is that that really was a race between all three

279
00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:26,080
of those guys, and now one of them is not

280
00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:28,679
going to be there. What does Trayson decide to do?

281
00:13:29,159 --> 00:13:32,279
Who knows. We really have to hope that he stays.

282
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,519
And frankly, now you I think have to court Trason

283
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,720
a little bit more than you were probably planning on

284
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,039
doing this offseason, just because you really don't have anyone

285
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:46,559
else that you're that confident in behind bear Bachmeier.

286
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:50,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, you bring up a good point of Cordon Tracon.

287
00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:52,159
This is this.

288
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: You knew that this would be a discussion at some

289
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,279
point Brett. You just didn't think it would happen now.

290
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,240
And granted that's because of the new rule. And just

291
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,159
reminder that the transfer portal one do I think it's

292
00:14:02,159 --> 00:14:04,480
the day after New Year's Day? I think it's the

293
00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:07,840
second end. It closes the eleventh or the thirteen. Maybe

294
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:09,799
I'm wrong about that, but you don't have that long.

295
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,639
You have like a week and a half to go

296
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,720
into the portal. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to

297
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:16,399
go somewhere, but if you plan on going and taking

298
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,639
your talents to another university or attempting to Brett, then

299
00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:22,600
you must hop in the portal to do so. Look,

300
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,120
I said there's gonna be more. There still will be

301
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,720
more as this all gets worked out. It's this is

302
00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:30,879
gonna be the first of many. There's a few, and

303
00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:32,440
just to get people an update, you know, I think

304
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,600
you got Jake Griffin. I think he's in the portal.

305
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,879
Correct me if I'm wrong, Brett. You got the McKenzie

306
00:14:36,879 --> 00:14:39,279
brothers in there, le Mason Wallers in the portal, and

307
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,480
now you know McKay Hillstead. All the guys that are

308
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:44,399
going into the portal are going because of playing time.

309
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,279
Speaker 3: That's the biggest thing.

310
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: You might have a few in springball, like the Harrison

311
00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:50,519
Taggarts of the Kila Marions d to maybe one and

312
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:53,360
more time trying to you know, be the designated starter,

313
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:56,600
or maybe feeling they're not getting their market rate, depending

314
00:14:56,679 --> 00:14:58,080
whatever else is going on behind the.

315
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: Scenes, you might have a few of those late. It's

316
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,879
gonna take it.

317
00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: But we're also gonna find out, even us as media members,

318
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,200
what's gonna happen with, you know, necessarily those that might

319
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,840
follow coaches, because if Jay Hill goes to Michigan, you

320
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:12,799
would have to think. The first name off the board,

321
00:15:12,799 --> 00:15:14,600
Brett that you and I discussed this morning on the

322
00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:19,200
podcast is Volatilesatuala, you would have to think that it is.

323
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,000
It was already difficult for him to come to BYU.

324
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,879
He discussed, you know, a coin flip. I interviewed him

325
00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:26,480
early in this season and it says Jay Hill wanted me,

326
00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:28,480
so that's why I'm here all of that. So you

327
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:30,600
have to think, if Jay Hill wanted you, and Jay

328
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:32,919
Hill goes elsewhere, you're probably following j Hill.

329
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,639
Speaker 3: And that's tough. Now.

330
00:15:34,879 --> 00:15:36,639
Speaker 1: We obviously did hear in the post game clips and

331
00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:38,480
maybe I need to pull some of these up in

332
00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:41,159
the next segment. We did here that Trey Alexander talking

333
00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:43,639
about running it back next year fifteen and oh if

334
00:15:43,639 --> 00:15:45,480
we got to play an extra game, Natty. So it

335
00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:47,759
sounds like Trey it was making his announcement to stand

336
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,559
and Brett. Remember I told you where you have to

337
00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:51,600
announce that you're coming back, Marcus Freeman.

338
00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: I know people might not like the quitting.

339
00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:56,519
Speaker 1: Irish nor to Dame Irish said run it back twenty

340
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,080
twenty six. I'm like, you weren't never going anywhere, but

341
00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:00,639
that's the nature that we live there.

342
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: There were NFL coaches who were interested.

343
00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: In one hundred percent, so that's why he had to

344
00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:06,720
say that, you know, and that's for a different that's

345
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:09,000
for a different you know, that's for the highest level.

346
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,639
But that goes to the point though, you have to

347
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:13,360
make your announcement that you're coming back. So you have

348
00:16:13,399 --> 00:16:16,320
to think what folatile following. Look, I just want to

349
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,519
paint this picture. Matt Campbell's at Penn State. Roco Becks

350
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:22,759
in the portal, has one more year of eligibility. Where's

351
00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:25,159
he gonna go. Yeah, he's gonna go to Penn State.

352
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,639
Most likely, I would, I would. I would be surprised.

353
00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:29,440
He might be out of it. But if he has

354
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,480
another season, he's there. Hanson went into the portal, where's

355
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,720
he gonna end up? Both those guys are big ten players.

356
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,360
I think I think those guys can play at Penn State.

357
00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:39,600
So look, that's just how it goes. This is this

358
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:43,000
is college athletics. So if a coach goes understand that

359
00:16:43,039 --> 00:16:45,120
the players that he targeted, and being a safety's coach,

360
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,279
the other ones would follow too. And you have to think,

361
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,759
like we talked about in the last segment, if you

362
00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:51,879
can convince Gennaro, does that mean that Evan Johnson is

363
00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:53,919
the guy? Does he go, Look, we'll break all of

364
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,519
that down more later in the week, but I just

365
00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:57,960
want to preface that and say, as McKay hill said,

366
00:16:58,039 --> 00:16:59,720
is now in the portal, a little bit of breaking

367
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:02,919
news on our always bill, your quarterback room taking a hit,

368
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,559
taking a hit. Bear's gonna get healthy this offseason with

369
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,799
that ankle. He'll be fine by spring. Bob McKay gonna

370
00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:10,599
go into the portal, Emerson Gollman going on a mission.

371
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:12,039
Speaker 3: There you go.

372
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:16,839
Speaker 1: So your quarterback room currently is going to be Trayson Boorgay,

373
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,240
Bear Bachmeyer. And I think is Enick Watson back from

374
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,160
his mission. I think Enick Watson might be back. I

375
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,480
think he is a quarterback that's gonna be in that

376
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,160
room as well. One of the fans will pay me

377
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,279
and someone will tell me I don't have the recruiting

378
00:17:29,279 --> 00:17:31,799
nets up as I'm looking at the board, Brett. But anyway,

379
00:17:31,839 --> 00:17:33,519
the point is you'll have a couple, but you're gonna

380
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:35,200
need to go get a guy. They're gonna need to

381
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,680
go get a guy from the portal. I don't know

382
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,640
who they're gonna get. You need to look at who

383
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,000
else is coming back from missions. But Bear, being a

384
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,799
true sophomore, I'm not saying it needs to be some

385
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,400
good senior, but she need a veteran quarterback that is

386
00:17:46,759 --> 00:17:49,200
okay being a BYU playing in this system that a

387
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,599
Bear wore to go down if things could happen, And

388
00:17:51,599 --> 00:17:54,680
they'll tell me it doesn't matter because Bear was dinged up.

389
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 3: He's a very tough kid.

390
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: He gets right up from hits, but at some point

391
00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:01,799
you're gonna take it hit that might have you lingering.

392
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 3: Every quarterback has had their fair.

393
00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: Share of injuries, but at the end of the day, look,

394
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,039
maybe he's as tough as Jake are tougher and he

395
00:18:09,079 --> 00:18:10,559
doesn't go out, But I think you need to go

396
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:12,119
get a guy because even if Jake were to go

397
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,880
down Brett, I think fans are confident with Gary Bohannon

398
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,759
behind him that a Rod's offense can still move the

399
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:20,960
same and work. I don't necessarily know if I encompass

400
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,799
that with traycon Borgay, with what I've seen from him

401
00:18:23,839 --> 00:18:26,480
in fall camp and springball, They're gonna need to go

402
00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:28,400
get somebody that can back up Bear and that can

403
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,720
throw the football just as well, if not better. And

404
00:18:31,759 --> 00:18:33,039
that's and look, at the end of the day, you

405
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:35,480
never want to push Bear out, but a ro should

406
00:18:35,519 --> 00:18:37,559
upgrade at his position group. He should bring guys in

407
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,200
that makes Bear better, that pushes Bear to be to

408
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,200
throw the ball deeper down the field to increase his

409
00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:44,519
arm strength. It's not saying that I want Bear gone,

410
00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:46,880
but that's the nature of college athletics. You should never

411
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,079
downgrade at your position. You should always be looking Brett

412
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,119
to upgrade and do better. That's how it is in

413
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,519
the company. It doesn't mean that they're trying to replace you.

414
00:18:53,559 --> 00:18:55,480
It's just it's for you to keep that room as

415
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,160
strong as possible and you to keep your job in

416
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,400
order to do that. I think you need to go

417
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,160
get a guy, So we'll see what happens.

418
00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:03,279
Speaker 2: It's gonna be really interesting.

419
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,079
Speaker 4: This I think was a little bit of a shot, honestly,

420
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,799
because I don't think it's something we thought we were

421
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:13,039
going to be worried about. I don't know that I

422
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,480
when I think about the positions that BYU needs from

423
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:20,079
the transfer portal, I think about things like running back.

424
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,799
Speaker 2: I don't know that I was thinking about backup quarterback.

425
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 4: But you know what ron in the world of college

426
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,119
athletics that we live in right now, If you think

427
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,039
you know anything, you're automatically wrong, because the only way

428
00:19:35,079 --> 00:19:37,640
to work in this business right now is believe that

429
00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:40,839
you know nothing and believe that anything on a day

430
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,680
to day basis can and probably will change. So we're

431
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:49,400
sitting here not believing backup quarterback with something we were

432
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,720
gonna have to talk about. But again, anything goes in

433
00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,599
the transfer portal of college football.

434
00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 3: What's the song if you just believe or whatever? That

435
00:19:59,440 --> 00:19:59,759
song is?

436
00:19:59,759 --> 00:20:02,599
Speaker 1: So anyway, but yeah, you gotta believe in getting a

437
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,200
backup quarterback and check Brad Hammer myself every Monday, Wednesday,

438
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,599
Friday on the Believe Network and believe in b AU.

439
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: See how tow it in there? Anyway? That was terrible?

440
00:20:12,039 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: No, all right, let's hear from Colonne opening statement and

441
00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:16,400
then we'll recap really quickly, go to break, and we'll

442
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,119
come back and discuss the rest of is Kline's opening

443
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,200
statement from the pop Tarchs Ball following Bau's twenty five

444
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,400
to twenty one win over Georgia Tech to get that

445
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,480
twelfth win on the season.

446
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 6: All right, well, great game, and truly proud of the guys,

447
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,960
proud of the leadership on our team, and proud of

448
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,680
these two specifically from the plays that they made. But overall,

449
00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:45,119
you felt like the got ourselves in a rough spot unfortunately,

450
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,000
but we've been in that position before, and I think

451
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:50,880
the goal is to not be there in twenty six,

452
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:54,359
you know, so try to find ways to get ahead

453
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,240
or maybe play the same type of urgency from the

454
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,839
beginning and carry it on sixteen minutes. I think we

455
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,720
can do that being a really good spot. But really

456
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,599
proud of the guy who's getting twelve and two, proud

457
00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:08,960
of all the coaches, uh staff, support staff, and really

458
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,160
proud of the fans that showed up.

459
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 7: And so we really excited, you know.

460
00:21:13,079 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 6: Before before we take questions, so I just want to,

461
00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:19,839
you know, just just thank Georgia Tech for getting it

462
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,640
required us to play at our best.

463
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 7: So we can.

464
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 6: So we can because we knew how difficult they were

465
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:28,119
the matchup seeing them on film, a difficult team and

466
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,720
like I said, they were ranking number seven in the

467
00:21:29,759 --> 00:21:33,599
country at one time, and and so the great team

468
00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:35,759
and and uh, fortunately we were able to make the

469
00:21:35,759 --> 00:21:38,839
plays and came out with the victory. And and then

470
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,200
I want to thank SCS and Pop Tarts Bowl just

471
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,759
for the hospitality that they showed us.

472
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,839
Speaker 7: And we had so much fun here.

473
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 6: I uh, I was worried about the timing, but then

474
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,039
I realized we probably should have came maybe half a

475
00:21:54,039 --> 00:21:54,640
week earlier.

476
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 7: You know, that would have been great.

477
00:21:57,279 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 6: But the we had a lot of a lot of

478
00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:02,640
fun and and we're able to connect and we threw

479
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,160
out all the festivities. I'm glad that they gave us

480
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,839
an opportunity to do some service and for our guys

481
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:10,160
to do it with Georgia Tech was really awesome and

482
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,160
just shows that the you know, Bowl games matter and

483
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,839
I'm proud of these guys, are proud of the team

484
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,279
for what they were able to accomplish in the Bowl prep.

485
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,440
I felt like we made a step step towards becoming

486
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,079
a better team and I want to ride that momentum

487
00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:29,240
into twenty twenty six. But still a lot of work

488
00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:31,119
for us to do, but at this time we should

489
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,240
be thankful and celebrate the win. I'm really proud of

490
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,519
the way Bear played entire game. Obviously not one hundred percent,

491
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,680
but he made big time plays. And he's always been

492
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,400
consistent and always been you know, poison under pressure, and

493
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,720
that's not that's not anything that I did or the coaches.

494
00:22:49,759 --> 00:22:52,319
This is how he came and and we can really

495
00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:54,480
do some wonderful things with him going to next year,

496
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,000
and then proud of Shred and you know he's been

497
00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:00,000
a lockdown corner for us all year and fourth down player.

498
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:03,079
Speaker 7: I know it was difficult credit Georgia.

499
00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:04,839
Speaker 6: Detect they made to play, but I was just proud

500
00:23:04,839 --> 00:23:08,759
about how he reacted, made the tackle and got us

501
00:23:08,759 --> 00:23:11,480
to win and made the play. So really proud of

502
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,519
the way these guys carry on, how they play the

503
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:16,400
game and how they conduct themselves off the field too.

504
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: So that's Kalainey Sataki the opening statement from following the

505
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,519
bas win over Georgia Tech and the pop tarts. A

506
00:23:24,519 --> 00:23:26,039
lot of good stuff to take away. The biggest thing

507
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,359
Evan Johnson gets beat. We'll hear from a moment from

508
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,759
him momentarily here about what happened on that sixty six

509
00:23:32,839 --> 00:23:35,599
yard play from Haines King shot at the haynes Kin

510
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,039
on making a tough their bread at the end to Rivers.

511
00:23:38,079 --> 00:23:42,400
I had said in my pregame analysis, look out for Rivers,

512
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,160
he's your deep threat.

513
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 3: They connected on him finally.

514
00:23:45,559 --> 00:23:47,799
Speaker 1: And the given everybody given all b A fans a

515
00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:50,079
heart attack us in a press box, we couldn't believe it.

516
00:23:50,079 --> 00:23:50,759
Speaker 3: We were like stunt.

517
00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: I looked at the Georgia tech dudes, They're like, I

518
00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:54,599
was ready to hit Smith for bear back my MVP.

519
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,880
I said, That's why I say wait into the clock

520
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,359
until they do they do to kneel down because you

521
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,960
never know. If Georgia check would have scored there would

522
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,599
have flipped the vote. It would be not bare back

523
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,519
my MVP. It' had been Haines King, especially having having

524
00:24:06,599 --> 00:24:09,039
a legacy throw, not a legacy moment. Evan Johnson had

525
00:24:09,079 --> 00:24:11,759
the legacy moment. I need to find the end of

526
00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:14,559
the game a clip too from Mark Jones because that

527
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,279
call was amazing to go. This is why he's one

528
00:24:18,319 --> 00:24:20,279
of my favorite play by play guys. Brett to go

529
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,160
atonement and rediicption and do that. No better fitting to

530
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,039
do that. Shout out to Trevor Madage on posting that

531
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,640
you know just what he said had broke it down.

532
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,920
But man, Mark Jones, I wish he could just be

533
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,720
the ultimate home play by play television guy.

534
00:24:33,799 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 3: Television guy.

535
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to get in trouble for BAU football

536
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,680
because he does a phenomenal job on television.

537
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love Mark Jones. He has some incredible calls.

538
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:45,039
I think he's like the Gus Johnson a ESPN. So

539
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,400
your point about that fourth down play, though, here's my issue.

540
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,319
I'm not calling this play out because I'm pretending to

541
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,000
know the cove.

542
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 3: You don't like press Man on four to fifteen.

543
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's why. Here's why I have a reason

544
00:24:59,000 --> 00:24:59,200
for it.

545
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 4: Everybody else is just mad about it and they don't

546
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,720
necessarily understand the situation. Here's why I'm mad about it,

547
00:25:04,839 --> 00:25:09,480
Ron because Pressman in a third and fifteen or a

548
00:25:09,519 --> 00:25:10,200
fourth and long.

549
00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 2: That costs me a childhood moment.

550
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,279
Speaker 4: When I was in high school, Georgia played Alabama in

551
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,519
the National Championship and before anybody know who Defonte Smith was,

552
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,720
years before he ever won his heisman.

553
00:25:23,079 --> 00:25:25,799
Speaker 2: Georgia and Alabama are in overtime.

554
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 4: It's third and long and mal com Paris is sitting

555
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:34,440
there in press coverage, third and fifteen in overtime. I

556
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,720
still don't understand why, and it gets bombed on over

557
00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:39,359
top and the rest is history.

558
00:25:39,519 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 2: And I realize that.

559
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 4: We since have beaten Alabama and won a national championship.

560
00:25:43,519 --> 00:25:45,480
As a Georgia fan, I get all of that, but

561
00:25:45,599 --> 00:25:46,799
I'm still not over it.

562
00:25:46,839 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 2: Okay, So when I see something like this.

563
00:25:50,519 --> 00:25:52,839
Speaker 4: Again, I don't know what the coverage is, and I

564
00:25:52,839 --> 00:25:54,680
don't think it makes sense for us to pretend that

565
00:25:54,759 --> 00:25:58,200
we're smarter than Jay Hill, or that we're smarter than Schmed.

566
00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:01,079
But when I see that, and I remember that memory

567
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,000
for me from a few years ago when I was

568
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:06,319
in high school, I sit there and I say, oh no,

569
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,559
so look, I'm I am a little confused. I'm watching

570
00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:14,960
that play back like it's just a great release. He

571
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,039
just beats him right off the line. The corner on

572
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,880
the other side, who I believe is Tray is sitting

573
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,079
eleven yards off. So again, we don't perfectly know what

574
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,680
the coverage is. I don't know why you're doing that

575
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,720
in fourth and fifteen, but they must have thought that

576
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,960
they knew what was going on, and to be fair,

577
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,640
like in Evan Johnson's defense, he was still in position,

578
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,720
and I think his fingertips had to have been inches

579
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,240
from tipping that folk.

580
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,519
Speaker 3: He's had so many tips.

581
00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:46,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if he needs glasses or what, but

582
00:26:46,319 --> 00:26:49,000
he's been so close. I think he does wear glasses.

583
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,200
He's been so close bred a few times with the

584
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,720
tips the Texas Tech. He might need to get some

585
00:26:53,759 --> 00:26:56,519
goggles like Kareem Abdul Jabbar and go out there so

586
00:26:56,559 --> 00:26:59,799
he can see specs direct specs there. He must need

587
00:26:59,839 --> 00:27:02,720
some because Evan has come so close made up for it.

588
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,640
But man, if you're able to retain Schmev and he

589
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,720
comes back next season as a red shirt senior, he's

590
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,319
gonna have to play with contacts. You're gonna have to

591
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,200
get some goggles something, because he's I think he's He's

592
00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:16,079
been the most BYU defensive back I've seen this year

593
00:27:16,079 --> 00:27:18,359
to have so many tips and not he Honestly, I'm

594
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,480
not saying he could be Jacob Robinson, but he would.

595
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,440
I think he finishes with five or six on the season,

596
00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:24,960
he might have seven or eight if he's able to

597
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,160
see the ball a little bit better. So might have

598
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,559
to get my man some goggles. We might Kugarnation have

599
00:27:29,559 --> 00:27:32,440
to put together go fund me and get Evan Johnson

600
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:33,400
a prescription pair.

601
00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:35,279
Speaker 3: Of goggles with tip and s.

602
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,559
Speaker 1: From what I've heard from my sources is that he

603
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,799
might need to wear some some glasses. So, speaking of

604
00:27:40,839 --> 00:27:43,359
that question, let's play it. I asked Evan about the

605
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,920
fourth down play. We'll play this and then we'll go

606
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,559
to break because we really got to get take a

607
00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:48,799
time out of here, a word from our sponsors. But

608
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,119
let's hear from Evan about what happened on that fourth

609
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,079
and fifteen. And Brett is right. I remember watching the

610
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,160
game to a tongue of ioloa. Do not let a

611
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,000
guy go press man right behindre The Chiefs know about it.

612
00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:01,559
With Jamar Chase, they decided to go press man on

613
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,119
third and third and twenty with the Cincinnati Bengals. Then

614
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,920
the year they got beat in the AFC Championship and

615
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,480
they needed twenty and they got twenty one.

616
00:28:09,799 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 3: So don't don't play press man? Uh when when?

617
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 7: When? That?

618
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: That That's all I'm saying. But let's hear from Evan.

619
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:19,920
Enough talking for me, right, Ron Weaver, esp and the

620
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,839
fans the questions for Evan walk us through the fourth

621
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,079
down and then obviously the interception to seal the game.

622
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, just something didn't go right with technique got beat.

623
00:28:30,279 --> 00:28:33,599
That happened that corner, But you know, I was really

624
00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:34,599
just thinking about the next play.

625
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 3: After that they came to me.

626
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 8: Coach Hill gave a great call and I got my

627
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,400
opportunity to go make a play and how to play

628
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,319
like that? Texas Tech that I didn't go get so

629
00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:46,759
my only thought that in my in my mind in

630
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:47,559
that moment was to.

631
00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: Go get that ball.

632
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 8: And and that's why I did.

633
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: You mentioned, Coach Hill, what adjustments were made at halftime

634
00:28:52,759 --> 00:28:53,759
as you guys shut them out.

635
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,599
Speaker 8: Really, no adjustments were made. It's just we came out

636
00:28:56,599 --> 00:29:00,839
with a lot more physicality, a lot more want I guess,

637
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:02,680
and then we knew the offense was hot, so getting

638
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,200
them the ball was all right was our plan. And

639
00:29:05,839 --> 00:29:09,279
made that happen in Bear made plays and the rest

640
00:29:09,279 --> 00:29:11,599
of the offense and the rest goes from there.

641
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: All right, bred I gotta say this, and I'm gonna

642
00:29:14,079 --> 00:29:15,359
take a turn to some people are gonna be like,

643
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:16,599
Ron's narcissistic, He's.

644
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,079
Speaker 3: Got a big head.

645
00:29:17,519 --> 00:29:19,599
Speaker 1: I got my phone blew up this weekend and Brett,

646
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,400
you probably know you probably saw the clip, but I

647
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,279
got a bunch of tags and a bunch of things.

648
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, that is my man.

649
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:31,519
Speaker 1: If someone someone said is that you run and I

650
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,279
and I stopped replaying all of them because I'm like,

651
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:34,759
all right, I really don't want to make this about this.

652
00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:37,200
And my sister and family like we're tagging me, and

653
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:39,480
it's like, look, I tell you guys this all the time.

654
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,079
You gotta know what questions to ask to get the

655
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,160
to get the answers.

656
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 3: You gotta do it.

657
00:29:44,039 --> 00:29:45,359
Speaker 1: You can go in there, you can ask the hard

658
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,039
hitting ones and you could be direct and do that

659
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,079
and and that's good. I've done that too, but I've

660
00:29:49,119 --> 00:29:52,480
started to learn, Okay, what reactions can I get or

661
00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:54,119
how can I get the answer I'm looking for? And

662
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:56,119
this is now I think the fourth or fifth time

663
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,680
I've asked a question that is now gone to social

664
00:29:58,720 --> 00:29:59,519
media and blown up.

665
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 3: You start with the Yegor demon earlier in the year

666
00:30:01,519 --> 00:30:02,000
that blew up.

667
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,599
Speaker 1: On byus, and then you go to Evan Johnson about

668
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,799
Kalani being the best coach in the nation, Kalanie and

669
00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:09,240
the pop tards like you have to ask and know

670
00:30:09,319 --> 00:30:12,279
what questions are coming. You have to also understand who

671
00:30:12,279 --> 00:30:14,480
the person is, Like, I know Evan is gonna be

672
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,400
honest if I ask about it. He made a play,

673
00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:18,720
But I know if that was someone else that got beat,

674
00:30:18,759 --> 00:30:21,079
if that was maybe another play on the BAU team,

675
00:30:21,079 --> 00:30:23,079
I won't say any names. They might not say that.

676
00:30:23,119 --> 00:30:24,519
So you have to understand the moment and who your

677
00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:27,000
audience isn't saying that. But I knew Evan was gonna

678
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,920
come in and give a good comment on that because

679
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:29,519
he made the play.

680
00:30:29,559 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 3: And I know that he.

681
00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: Wants to talk about the playing himself, but he wants

682
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,319
to also stay humble. But look, he said it. Maybe

683
00:30:35,359 --> 00:30:38,240
it's bad technique. Maybe you just get beat, like you said, Brett,

684
00:30:38,279 --> 00:30:42,160
maybe you don't play Brestman on fourth and fifteen, you

685
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,079
play zone, but he made it later and looking at

686
00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:46,480
his a summer and if you go back and watch

687
00:30:46,519 --> 00:30:50,440
the tape, he signals to Tanner Waller follows out south Tuala. Hey,

688
00:30:50,519 --> 00:30:52,920
I'm passing him off to you. You take the guy

689
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,759
running behind me because we're playing zone. They did a

690
00:30:54,759 --> 00:30:57,799
phenomenal job. I'm gonna take this guy underneath and he

691
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,400
cut the route well, he ran with the guy that

692
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,240
cuts around completely and they throw it.

693
00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 3: But you heard it from Evan Brett.

694
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: He missed it in Texas Tech him and the tip

695
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,240
balls just seems to be flutters dis misses those bin

696
00:31:08,279 --> 00:31:10,480
inch But he was there winning matter at most, and

697
00:31:10,519 --> 00:31:13,079
all people remember is the last play. People remember if

698
00:31:13,079 --> 00:31:15,599
you win, so it doesn't matter. But there's Evans comments

699
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,960
on it. He got beat sixty six yards down the field.

700
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,640
Black Colawney mentioned openness statement, got the tackle that was

701
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,920
the most important thing, and then makes up for it

702
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,440
with the you know, getting a toonement redemption per Mark

703
00:31:25,519 --> 00:31:28,000
Jones on that last play. And how fitting is that

704
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,920
that the best cornerback on the team, one of the

705
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,559
best cornerbacks in the nation, seals it and gets the

706
00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:35,559
twelfth win for you on the bau defensive side of

707
00:31:35,599 --> 00:31:35,839
the ball.

708
00:31:35,839 --> 00:31:36,839
Speaker 3: What a moment, Brett.

709
00:31:37,079 --> 00:31:39,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he deserves a lot of credit. He's had

710
00:31:39,359 --> 00:31:43,920
a lot of big moments this season. I believe the

711
00:31:44,079 --> 00:31:47,319
pick six against ECU, I believe that was smav correct.

712
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, two in that game.

713
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, He's had a lot of big moments for this team.

714
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,279
And because he plays corner the only times you ever

715
00:31:57,359 --> 00:31:59,359
really talk about him is when he makes a pick

716
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,680
or when he this is a when he misses like

717
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,640
a big catch, And so I don't know that because

718
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,920
of that he gets enough credit. But you like, you

719
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,119
got to think about all the times they don't throw

720
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,799
his way because his guy's not open.

721
00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:20,079
Speaker 2: So for him to come down with that ball.

722
00:32:20,279 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 4: To seal the game, to seal by U's twelve to win,

723
00:32:24,799 --> 00:32:27,359
I think It's an incredible moment for Schmid because he's

724
00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:30,799
done so many other little things this season that I'm

725
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,279
grateful that that's the taste that we have in our

726
00:32:33,319 --> 00:32:36,079
mouth leaving that game. I'm grateful that that's what we

727
00:32:36,119 --> 00:32:39,319
get to remember is how incredible schmv was in that

728
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,240
game and in this entire season.

729
00:32:41,559 --> 00:32:43,759
Speaker 1: I told the Georgia Tech guys, you don't you probably

730
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:44,960
don't want to throw Zero's way.

731
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:45,759
Speaker 3: He's not the guy.

732
00:32:46,039 --> 00:32:48,039
Speaker 1: Then they launched the pass on him and it looked

733
00:32:48,039 --> 00:32:49,279
at me and I was like, I was like, that

734
00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:50,799
was a good throw though. I was like, I don't

735
00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:52,720
even think if he was draped all over him and

736
00:32:52,759 --> 00:32:54,680
he got it's like it still would have been a

737
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,440
pass interference, Like that was the hell of a throw

738
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,559
by Haines King. And then he had the interception and

739
00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:00,920
I look, I got him and they to put their

740
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,079
hands on their face and the guy, one of the

741
00:33:03,079 --> 00:33:05,519
other guys that covers all of like the UCF and

742
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,359
Orlando Sports teams like, didn't you say they shouldn't throw

743
00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:10,880
new Zero's was like I did say that. I was like,

744
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,519
I say, you probably want to attack the other part

745
00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:13,960
of the field. I don't think I told him, I

746
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,839
don't think you would throw a number one tree Alexander either.

747
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,640
He's gonna get the PBu which he had when in

748
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,359
this game. It's just tough to throw on these b

749
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,440
AU cornerbacks, you know, so they pick on the nickel

750
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,319
position a little bit and bo doesn't need to get

751
00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:24,680
better there.

752
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 3: But that's an offseason discussion.

753
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it's they got

754
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,359
They got two good cornerbacks, they got two big twelve cornerbacks.

755
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,960
Evan Johnson should have been I, in my opinion, on

756
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,160
one of these all big twelve you know teams locking

757
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,680
down it, but he didn't. Maybe next year what happened,

758
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,359
depending if he's with BOU and they retain them.

759
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:41,839
Speaker 3: But we'll see.

760
00:33:41,839 --> 00:33:45,119
Speaker 1: But Shmev, you got Schmev Haynes King, you got SCHMEVD

761
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,599
Georgia Tech, and he sealed it for by you always

762
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,640
you know, Evan Kevin Schmevin. Hopefully you can see Evan

763
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,279
Johnson for his last year as a retro senior in

764
00:33:54,279 --> 00:33:55,599
the BYU uniform.

765
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 3: Guys who need to go to break don't go anywhere.

766
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,759
Speaker 1: We're still gonna get into a little bit more of

818
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,840
sound Brett. A couple of soundbites that were really important.

819
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,280
We talked about the sixty six yard bomb and Kialaney saying,

820
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,880
you know, Haines Kane is a good quarterback. Obviously he

821
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,880
didn't like it, but that's just the way it goes

822
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,719
as the nature of it. But the big, the more

823
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,840
of the big problem, Brett, that you and I didn't

824
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,039
have an opportunity to discuss, and we'll discuss it now,

825
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,519
was the turnovers. That's really what killed b Yu. You know,

826
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,039
both team had two turnovers, right Brett. But the biggest

827
00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:40,719
thing was that uh BYU coughed it up after a

828
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,519
kickoff right there, bear through a red zone interception and

829
00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:46,079
then discounts as a turnover on my book two the

830
00:36:46,159 --> 00:36:48,599
fourth down not getting on the goal line, that's twenty

831
00:36:48,679 --> 00:36:53,159
one points potentially right there, if not nine that you

832
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,280
miss out on. How crucial was it not to get

833
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,800
those points? And look, this is why I think if

834
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,599
Byu executes, maybe some of the that hey we get

835
00:37:02,679 --> 00:37:04,280
taken off of a rod and where I wish the

836
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,960
players would execute to help their coordinator out. If they

837
00:37:07,039 --> 00:37:08,719
go out there, bre even if they get nine points

838
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,360
or let's say that they are able to score touchdowns

839
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,119
off of those, this game is completely out of fan

840
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,360
Let's go nine, right, so nine plus twenty five, what

841
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,159
that's thirty thirty four, So thirty four to twenty one.

842
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 3: That's a good ballgame. You look at that.

843
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: But even if you get twenty one out of that,

844
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,719
you blow them out by you know, thirty something. To me,

845
00:37:26,039 --> 00:37:29,559
the execution has nothing to do with the coaches. Sometimes

846
00:37:30,039 --> 00:37:33,320
it's it's more on the players. Like Cody Hagen took

847
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,360
his eye off the ball. That's on Cody got last

848
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,320
of days ago, Bear made a very bad, poor decision.

849
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,880
Red tried to force a throw and then going forward

850
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,760
on fourth down. Maybe you can say, Okay, Kaline, that's

851
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:44,400
a bad decision.

852
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:45,039
Speaker 2: Don't go for it.

853
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 3: But I believe a lot of people are gonna do it.

854
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:47,320
It's the bowl game.

855
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: You don't have another game. But Enix gotta get a yard. Though,

856
00:37:50,199 --> 00:37:53,000
Enix gotta get a yard, and you gotta push. You know,

857
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,000
you can't get stuffed at the line on fourth to one.

858
00:37:56,119 --> 00:37:58,400
So your thoughts on those three plays, because those are

859
00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,920
all key moments in the game for BYU.

860
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,559
Speaker 4: Well, I even went back and I watched the Chase

861
00:38:02,679 --> 00:38:05,639
Roberts whip route that put them in the fourth down,

862
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:12,880
and I cannot believe that Chase was not able to

863
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:15,480
get into the end zone on that one, like as

864
00:38:15,559 --> 00:38:18,039
close as he got. But then to your point, you're

865
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:23,159
right about Enick needing to get a yard. But also Ron, like,

866
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,800
let's be real, you just finding out about this. I like,

867
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,559
I think he did a lot of things. Well, he's

868
00:38:31,639 --> 00:38:35,559
not that big, and so I can't say I was

869
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:39,400
completely shocked when he didn't get that. I mean he

870
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,480
didn't even need a full yard. The guy needed I

871
00:38:41,599 --> 00:38:45,480
think like twelve inches he needed a foot to get

872
00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:47,880
from where they were to getting into the end zone.

873
00:38:48,679 --> 00:38:51,239
As I watched this play back, I almost wonder had

874
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,760
they been better off. I know it wasn't in the play,

875
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,280
but Parker Kingston goes in motion. I almost wonder if

876
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,320
it would have been better to find a way to

877
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,519
get Parker the ball because we saw him get the

878
00:39:01,639 --> 00:39:05,400
ball a couple of jet sweeps on that play on

879
00:39:05,559 --> 00:39:09,559
that drive alone, but then we citing him in other

880
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,280
plays during the season where he gets a sweep on

881
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,280
the one yard line and gets in. It is an

882
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:21,039
unfortunate situation because you do wonder. And I had a

883
00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:22,760
couple of people saying this to me, like, oh, we

884
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,639
should have blown out Georgia Tech. I don't know if

885
00:39:25,679 --> 00:39:30,000
that's necessarily true. I honestly don't think Georgia Tech played

886
00:39:30,119 --> 00:39:32,159
that well in the first half. I think that's a

887
00:39:32,199 --> 00:39:34,880
big part of it. Certainly not in the first quarter.

888
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,920
I think they could have played a lot better. It's

889
00:39:38,119 --> 00:39:40,559
really tough though, that you don't get that score on

890
00:39:40,679 --> 00:39:43,519
that opening drive. It makes you wonder if they get

891
00:39:43,599 --> 00:39:46,360
that or even ron. It makes you wonder, like what

892
00:39:46,519 --> 00:39:48,719
happens if they get that if they get a safety,

893
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,679
because they really on that first run play that Georgia

894
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,599
Tech had out of their own end zone, they had

895
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,400
the middle clogged up, but they didn't have the edge sealed,

896
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,599
so we got to the outside. Maybe you get a

897
00:40:01,679 --> 00:40:06,960
safety there that changes the game. But you talking about turnovers.

898
00:40:07,079 --> 00:40:11,039
Ron turnovers for Georgia Tech is what got Yu into

899
00:40:11,119 --> 00:40:13,679
this game there towards the end. Not necessarily a turnover,

900
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,320
but you have Keanutanovasa blocking that field goal that turns

901
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,760
things around for you. You have Nucy with the scissor kick,

902
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:29,400
the karate kid getting I still don't understand how that's legal.

903
00:40:30,039 --> 00:40:32,199
Maybe they felt like it was a little bit of

904
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,760
a makeup call because there was a block in the

905
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:35,519
back on that play.

906
00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, but.

907
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:44,079
Speaker 4: It is unfortunate that you couldn't get those really situational

908
00:40:44,159 --> 00:40:46,920
plays that you needed. But to your point, I don't

909
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,320
really blame Kialani for going for it to open the

910
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,719
game on that opening drive because it is the ball game.

911
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,039
Anything can happen. You're trying to win this thing. You're

912
00:40:58,079 --> 00:41:00,800
trying to be gutsy. I wish they would have let

913
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,559
willfarre and kick the ball because it felt like a

914
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:09,440
little bit that was, hey, we're not sure, even though

915
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,480
I don't think it should have been any commentary on

916
00:41:11,639 --> 00:41:15,039
will at all. I think it was more of we

917
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,960
feel like we want to be gutsy in this situation,

918
00:41:18,639 --> 00:41:21,039
and it makes you wonder if they get that.

919
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,639
Speaker 2: One inch that they need from Enoch.

920
00:41:23,559 --> 00:41:28,199
Speaker 4: Nowahine, are they able to really dominate this game for

921
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:32,039
the rest of the four quarters? Or Ronald, do you

922
00:41:32,079 --> 00:41:36,360
want even better? If Bear is healthier? Do they let

923
00:41:36,679 --> 00:41:40,199
Bear run that thing in? I don't know, But again

924
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,840
it goes to the point I made off the top,

925
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,480
which is by you did a lot without having LJ.

926
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,440
Martin in situations where you definitely needed him, and for

927
00:41:50,599 --> 00:41:52,039
that they deserve a lot of credit.

928
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you bring up a good point about Bear,

929
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,119
and I'm actually gonna play it right now. Bear discussed

930
00:41:59,119 --> 00:42:00,400
a little bit in the post game.

931
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 3: This is Bear Bachmeyer.

932
00:42:02,079 --> 00:42:04,639
Speaker 1: Gonna let you guys said the question asked by the reporter.

933
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,280
But he comments on being injured the first drive, all

934
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,000
of that, and how he was able to overcome that

935
00:42:10,039 --> 00:42:11,960
a couple of back to back questions. We'll listen to

936
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,119
this and then we're going to go to break. But

937
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,639
this is bear Bachmeer. What he had to say about

938
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,840
getting banged up in those injuries and what could have happened,

939
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,519
Like you mentioned Brett if he was healthy, if he

940
00:42:19,519 --> 00:42:22,119
could have run those plays in or yeah, I.

941
00:42:22,199 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 9: Kind of was banged up but yeah, and then heard

942
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,239
it a little more on the first drive, but yeah,

943
00:42:27,559 --> 00:42:28,920
it ended up battling it out.

944
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:29,559
Speaker 4: And you win.

945
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:31,639
Speaker 7: Barry.

946
00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 10: You haven't wanted to reveal much about your injury situation necessarily,

947
00:42:35,039 --> 00:42:37,920
but how tough is that been to overcome?

948
00:42:38,199 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 7: And how have you changed it as a quarterback?

949
00:42:40,079 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 9: Yeah?

950
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 10: You not a lot of run attempts today? How has

951
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:44,559
that progression been?

952
00:42:45,079 --> 00:42:47,159
Speaker 9: Yeah, well it's a testament to coach a Rod and

953
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,519
the guys around me, and yeah, then them making plays

954
00:42:50,559 --> 00:42:52,039
and them doing their job, and all have to do

955
00:42:52,159 --> 00:42:54,719
is do my one eleventh and yeah, so worked out.

956
00:42:56,079 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 3: All you have to do is your one eleventh.

957
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: And he said the testament to the coaches Brett and

958
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,239
you really you need to give a testament to Ryan

959
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,639
Phillis and the medical staff and getting him even available

960
00:43:04,679 --> 00:43:06,159
to be at a playback on an angle, that's really

961
00:43:06,199 --> 00:43:08,559
who needs the credit. I know he reaggravated on that

962
00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:10,679
first drive, shout out the jyr of the Desert News

963
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,960
and asked the question in Brendancy Gurney of The Daily

964
00:43:13,039 --> 00:43:15,280
Hero for the follow up. But Bear was dinged up

965
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,800
and and look everyone saw it was. I wasn't in

966
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,679
the press box. I let BA you run out because

967
00:43:20,679 --> 00:43:22,639
I was filming some videos. And I went down to

968
00:43:22,679 --> 00:43:25,400
the end and I watched and Bear planted and tried

969
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,440
to and he got up and he hobbled, and it

970
00:43:27,519 --> 00:43:29,480
was immediately and I was like, that ankle is not right.

971
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,960
I was like, that is a high ankle spring that

972
00:43:32,159 --> 00:43:34,960
is probably great too, and he is He's gonna need

973
00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:37,119
some time out, but he battled through it. And look,

974
00:43:37,199 --> 00:43:39,400
this is why the kid is gritty. BA doesn't win

975
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,199
that game if they don't get that two point conversion.

976
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,760
He has to go down and get that two point conversion.

977
00:43:44,079 --> 00:43:46,320
And what I mean is that gives momentum. But Brett,

978
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:47,920
he said, f and I'm gonna take off. I'm gonna

979
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,400
put my shoulder down. I'm gonna put it down and

980
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,519
go pop them. And he did that and he got

981
00:43:52,559 --> 00:43:54,599
into the end zone. And that's a part of BA

982
00:43:54,639 --> 00:43:56,480
you getting that twelfth win and crazy.

983
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:57,079
Speaker 3: That that happened Brett.

984
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: But oh my goodness, man, this kid is tough his nails.

985
00:44:00,519 --> 00:44:02,920
He might be one of the toughest Bou quarterbacks in

986
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,079
the history of the game. And he's young doing this

987
00:44:05,159 --> 00:44:07,480
at eighteen. And I know other people know, well Jaron

988
00:44:07,599 --> 00:44:10,000
was tough for this guy's stuff, but this kid's eighteen. Like,

989
00:44:10,119 --> 00:44:12,400
were you that tough at eighteen? Were you built like

990
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,320
that where you said, all right, I'm gonna, you know,

991
00:44:15,039 --> 00:44:16,760
put the team on my back in this moment and

992
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,559
just do it. Were you built like aj or you

993
00:44:18,599 --> 00:44:20,920
built like Bear? Probably not, I know I wasn't. So

994
00:44:21,039 --> 00:44:22,360
for this kid to do it at that young of

995
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,719
an age is amazing. He's got a high level IQ.

996
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,440
And but like you brought up, Brett, if Bear is healthy,

997
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,559
I think BAU wins this game comfortably by ten. I

998
00:44:32,639 --> 00:44:34,840
think I can say that because Bear's able to run

999
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,480
a little bit more, maybe not as much you want

1000
00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:40,079
him to, even with the LJ out. But yeah, the

1001
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,960
injuries and the turnovers definitely hurt the team a little bit,

1002
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:44,519
but in the end they got it done.

1003
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 3: They score when it matter most, and we've seen this

1004
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:47,159
a bunch.

1005
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: Now, if what if you're not scoring a put in

1006
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,559
BYUA and they shut Georgia checkout in the second half.

1007
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 3: And you're giving Bear and Klanie and a rod.

1008
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: If you give a great football team a chance in

1009
00:44:56,039 --> 00:44:57,760
a window to open and you don't take advantage of

1010
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,960
it and put them away, If you don't put the champs,

1011
00:45:00,679 --> 00:45:02,480
the champions is gonna find a way to knock you out.

1012
00:45:02,519 --> 00:45:05,039
That's what happens. Because they've been in that situation a

1013
00:45:05,159 --> 00:45:07,039
multitude of times this season. They don't want to be

1014
00:45:07,119 --> 00:45:09,320
in it, but nonetheless, because they've been in it, they

1015
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,320
know that they can go find a way, and that's what.

1016
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 3: They did on Saturday.

1017
00:45:13,159 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, they did.

1018
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,639
Speaker 4: And I think from Bear's mentality, it's like, uh, well

1019
00:45:18,119 --> 00:45:21,760
not even Bear's mentality. Go back to what did Kialaney

1020
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,719
Sataki tell Quinn Kessinich. I don't know if you say

1021
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,360
saw the broadcast, but what Kiliane told Q was it's

1022
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,239
gonna require some pain, and it was gonna require some

1023
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,440
pain from Bear, and it was gonna require some pain

1024
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,440
for the rest of the team. And Bear was willing

1025
00:45:35,519 --> 00:45:38,199
to accept, Hey, my ankle's gonna hurt a little bit,

1026
00:45:38,599 --> 00:45:42,119
but I'll take ten minutes worth of pain for this win,

1027
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,559
which will last with us for a long time. It's

1028
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,199
a couple minutes worth of pain going into the offseason

1029
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:53,159
where I can rest and get the help and that

1030
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,719
I need. So, I mean the fact that Bear looked

1031
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,800
at it that way, the fact that he adopted the

1032
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,519
mentality of his head coach.

1033
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,119
Speaker 2: That's what all great teams are made of, what.

1034
00:46:03,199 --> 00:46:05,679
Speaker 3: All great teams are made, That's what dreams made of.

1035
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,079
Speaker 1: Little lism McGraw anyway, Little Disney for you guys, for

1036
00:46:08,119 --> 00:46:10,239
those that travel down anyway, we gotta go to break.

1037
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,599

00:46:12,639 --> 00:46:15,119
little insider report. Then we're gonna welcome in Joel Marion.

1039
00:46:15,159 --> 00:46:19,360
We're gonna get into a little bit more about Dawson Baker.

1040
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,360
I feel like Dawson's been forgotten about. I feel like

1041
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,320
it's been a little bit transactional with basketball. We're gonna

1042
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,239
hear from Joel in just a second about you know,

1043
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,239
how did the notes come upon getting the notes to Dawson,

1044
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,840
all of that highlighting Dawson. I feel like he's been

1045
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,000
forgotten about. I want to sho Dawson some love because

1046
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,320
he hasn't been And what was Dawson's reaction to how

1047
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,079
all that came about. That'll be coming up next. But

excuse me BAU basketball player had something tremendous happened. Everybody

00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,400
was reported. I put it on my Twitter page. You

00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,079

Speaker 7: Uh to do that?

1096
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 3: Not the new miracle, I said. Moments like this.

1097
00:48:41,079 --> 00:48:44,760
Speaker 1: Truly highlight what the hashtag BOU mission is all about,

1098
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,719
the Christ centered spiritual growth component. Former BAA basketball player

1099
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:49,320
Brett you know this.

1100
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:49,760
Speaker 3: You saw it.

1101
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 1: Fu SINATOI got baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ

1102
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,079
of Latter day Saints per Richie Saunders Instagram posts and

1103
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,480
per Trevenil. Both of them was looking snassy in those suits.

1104
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,400
But this was something that been mentioned. You know, I

1105
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,119
think it was what maybe a month ago about that

1106
00:49:05,199 --> 00:49:07,880
fuss taking the lessons in France or from the missionaries.

1107
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,440
And look, this is exactly what it's about when you

1108
00:49:11,519 --> 00:49:13,679
come to BYU. It's not about the athletics at the

1109
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,199
end of the day, that's great. It's not about if

1110
00:49:16,199 --> 00:49:17,960
you get some job to pay six figures.

1111
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:19,079
Speaker 3: It's moments like that.

1112
00:49:19,159 --> 00:49:23,199
Speaker 1: A guy that came from from Mibacca, from Mobaco, Maley,

1113
00:49:23,559 --> 00:49:26,599
who comes all the way from Africa, who is a

1114
00:49:26,639 --> 00:49:29,280
part of the Muslim faith, very active and wants to

1115
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,760
take lessons from the missionaries and hear about what makes

1116
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,559
people different. Him and Richie's growing up. And Richie talked about, man,

1117
00:49:35,639 --> 00:49:37,199
he's got the door locked, led me in the house,

1118
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:38,840
banging on the door and like, oh he's praying. Well,

1119
00:49:39,199 --> 00:49:42,000
I feel like an idiot. All of that in company

1120
00:49:42,119 --> 00:49:44,840
and led to this moment. What a moment for Fos.

1121
00:49:45,039 --> 00:49:48,119
Very happy for him on his decision to get baptized Bread.

1122
00:49:48,159 --> 00:49:50,679
This is what it's about. It's about the Gospel of

1123
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,800
Jesus Christ impacting people at all levels. And the impacted

1124
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,199
Fus enough. And now Fus is the newest members of

1125
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:58,559
the church. And we've seen this a lot, you know,

1126
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,519
in BYU athletics current and and you know in the future,

1127
00:50:02,639 --> 00:50:05,199
and a lot with the basketball team. Rah Hudgens was

1128
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,480
baptized for the women's basketball team. Ari Mackew Williams. I

1129
00:50:08,559 --> 00:50:10,159
think a couple of people on the golf team. So

1130
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,599
we're starting in the tennis team. We're starting to see

1131
00:50:12,599 --> 00:50:16,679
this happen where the mission of BYU is becoming bigger

1132
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:17,840
than just athletics itself.

1133
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:18,119
Speaker 3: Brett.

1134
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, like the purpose of

1135
00:50:22,039 --> 00:50:25,880
by US is to invite others coming to Christ.

1136
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 2: And we over the last few months.

1137
00:50:31,599 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 4: Have seen conversations and Internet wars about the purpose of

1138
00:50:40,199 --> 00:50:44,159
BYU and should the church stay connected and his athletics

1139
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:48,400
a missionary tool and all of these things because we've

1140
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:53,400
seen some of the unfortunate situations, unfortunate choices being made

1141
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:58,159
by some of those in the surrounding area. But the

1142
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,599
way I look at it, and the way in my opinion,

1143
00:51:01,679 --> 00:51:03,639
the way I think that Christ looks at it is

1144
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,599
at the end of the day, this is the number

1145
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:11,599
one thing. Like poor choices happen, how they happen. If

1146
00:51:11,679 --> 00:51:14,679
people want to make poor choices in and around the university,

1147
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,320
that is what it is. But at the end of

1148
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,119
the day, what we're seeing here with Fusini Triory, that

1149
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,559
is the end goal and it's I don't think.

1150
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 2: It's ever worth giving up.

1151
00:51:26,199 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 4: Using athletics as a missionary tool to avoid some of

1152
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,280
the mishaps. Like I think we always like in the

1153
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,400
scriptures in Christianity. We always talk about Christ finding the one.

1154
00:51:37,199 --> 00:51:39,880
This is always what it's about, and if other poor

1155
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,119
things happen, then that is what it is. But Fusini

1156
00:51:43,199 --> 00:51:47,960
Triory coming closer to Jesus, Christ coming closer to God, which,

1157
00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:51,760
if we're being real, fus has always been a man

1158
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:52,760
who was close to God.

1159
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 3: And then just.

1160
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 4: The way I look at it, like he just called

1161
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,920
it something different, and so it's so cool they get

1162
00:51:59,960 --> 00:52:05,119
to see things like this because athletics is a missionary

1163
00:52:05,159 --> 00:52:07,119
tool and I don't even like using the missionary tool.

1164
00:52:07,159 --> 00:52:09,239
The purpose of athletics is to invite others to coming

1165
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,039
to Christ, whether that means they get baptized or not.

1166
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,199
Speaker 2: And that's I think that's kind of what makes this cool.

1167
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 4: Also, Ron, it wasn't like everybody was sitting there banging

1168
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,199
down his door saying foods get baptized, foos get baptized.

1169
00:52:22,199 --> 00:52:24,760
And He's like, well, I'm here, everyone's saying it. I'm

1170
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,360
on a high because I'm here, so I'm just gonna

1171
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:30,280
do it. Like he had interest, he had relationships with

1172
00:52:30,599 --> 00:52:36,400
those in the church and in the space of Christianity.

1173
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,840
He had those relationships outside of his time at BIU

1174
00:52:40,159 --> 00:52:42,239
he's in a whole nother continent, he's in a whole

1175
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,719
other country, but those relationships still ring true enough so

1176
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,119
that when he says, you know what, I've been thinking

1177
00:52:48,159 --> 00:52:49,639
about this, and I think this is a choice I

1178
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,880
want to make for me, not for the university, not

1179
00:52:52,039 --> 00:52:53,599
for my teammates, not for my coaches.

1180
00:52:53,679 --> 00:52:55,039
Speaker 2: This is a choice I want to make for me.

1181
00:52:55,559 --> 00:52:59,079
Speaker 4: That to me is what makes this situation so cool,

1182
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:01,840
so beautiful, and shout at the fos.

1183
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:02,559
Speaker 3: Shot at the foos.

1184
00:53:02,599 --> 00:53:05,039
Speaker 1: Indeed, I love that you mentioned that the purpose and

1185
00:53:05,159 --> 00:53:07,360
the mission is to invite others to come into Christ.

1186
00:53:08,119 --> 00:53:09,960
I know it has that second part of the statement,

1187
00:53:10,039 --> 00:53:11,960
you know, as we suppose have a certain mission's bread

1188
00:53:12,159 --> 00:53:14,679
through baptism. Yeah, YadA, YadA, YadA. And I'm not discounting that.

1189
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,239
I don't want people listening to be like oh Ron's

1190
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,119
discounting that. No, Ron's a convert to this church. Did

1191
00:53:19,199 --> 00:53:21,119
my dad's work in the temp I'm not trying to.

1192
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:22,679
I don't want it to see that way. I have

1193
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,280
a lot of perspective on this, But I think what

1194
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,840
you said is that, you know, he just he went

1195
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,400
about it a different way, and that's okay, And I think,

1196
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,880
like you said, it's still gonna people try to negate

1197
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,880
the bad that it has sometimes come with that. I

1198
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,280
still believe the reason why Jake Gretz Laugh is very

1199
00:53:39,679 --> 00:53:41,719
active in his faith and you know had him on

1200
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,599
the he was on the podcast with a you know,

1201
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,440
beyond the three or beyond the logo from Jim or Look.

1202
00:53:46,559 --> 00:53:50,800
That to me was a very powerful interview because it

1203
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,559
let me know that b YU sparked that because of

1204
00:53:53,599 --> 00:53:58,039
their mission, Jake embodied and encompassed that, because of what

1205
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,599
BYU pushed him to be better and what he believed,

1206
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,360
not what they believe, what he believed, you know. And

1207
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,519
I think that's exactly what you said that spot on,

1208
00:54:06,599 --> 00:54:08,400
And it doesn't it doesn't need to be our church,

1209
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,079
doesn't need to be our religion. Look, my family dynamics

1210
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,599
has changed, you know, completely with that. And I think

1211
00:54:13,679 --> 00:54:15,840
sometimes you know, people think, oh, it has to be

1212
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,880
this way and path. That's great, right, But my path

1213
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,400
doesn't need to be yours. As long as you're being

1214
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,320
a better person, you're still showing a lot of Christ,

1215
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,519
you're still lighting the world and whatever that looks like.

1216
00:54:25,559 --> 00:54:27,519
And I felt that Jake and other people have done

1217
00:54:27,599 --> 00:54:31,039
that because of that, and BYU does that, Like Malik

1218
00:54:31,119 --> 00:54:32,840
Morres talked on their ways of Yeah, no, this is

1219
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,760
the church that I go to. I really started going

1220
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:36,719
more when I hear I went here and there. But

1221
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,159
when I really got the b YU, I was able

1222
00:54:38,159 --> 00:54:40,559
to go with guys, Garrison Grimes Bible study.

1223
00:54:40,599 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 3: You heard.

1224
00:54:41,039 --> 00:54:43,599
Speaker 1: I've talked to Trey Alexander on a recond off record

1225
00:54:43,639 --> 00:54:46,159
about conversations about that. Oh yeah, I go to Bible

1226
00:54:46,199 --> 00:54:47,280
Study with Garrison Grimes.

1227
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 3: We did this.

1228
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,119
Speaker 1: Like all of that means a lot, and it lets

1229
00:54:50,159 --> 00:54:53,800
you know that people can come to BYU all parts

1230
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,639
of the world, all demographic, and you know they can

1231
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,239
live their life the way they want. But there is

1232
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,239
something about being on the campus the BYU that does

1233
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,679
have people intrigued in. Fus said, you know what, I've

1234
00:55:04,679 --> 00:55:07,320
been around Richie since I was a kid. I've learned

1235
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,760
about this. I've now left BYU and do that, and

1236
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,719
I think that highlights your point even more. Brad of

1237
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,679
Fus made the decision away from BAG. He didn't just go, oh,

1238
00:55:14,679 --> 00:55:18,000
I'm at the university, let's get dunked. He left was

1239
00:55:18,039 --> 00:55:21,320
playing professional ball and decision came and I think to me,

1240
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,360
that's way more powerful. Of it doesn't look like a

1241
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,239
lot of obligation, and you never want people to say

1242
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,519
that it'll take away from you know, Fus's moment. But

1243
00:55:28,599 --> 00:55:30,159
this is such a big moment of a guy that

1244
00:55:30,599 --> 00:55:34,159
you felt like honestly embodied the mission statement of b

1245
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:35,719
YU and that wasn't a member of the faith that

1246
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,360
now has made that decision. So so happy for Fus.

1247
00:55:38,679 --> 00:55:42,280
Congrats to him and his family as well as Richie.

1248
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,800
You saw that, Trevor Nail. I know we're gonna at

1249
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:46,760
some point this we probably have a media availability with

1250
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,360
Kevin Young, gonna ask Kevin Young's thoughts on this too,

1251
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,639
because Kevin I got the chance to coach Fus his

1252
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,519
last year. Then ask Kevin of how this is bigger

1253
00:55:54,559 --> 00:55:57,000
than you know athletics. Maybe need to get Travis Hanson

1254
00:55:57,039 --> 00:55:58,360
on and do that as well. But this is a

1255
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,719
great moment and I'm glad that has happened because this

1256
00:56:01,039 --> 00:56:03,199
especially around the holidays too, Brett. It takes away from

1257
00:56:03,559 --> 00:56:05,320
you know, the athletics and the winds. Those are great,

1258
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,880
those things need to be But truly the mission of

1259
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,079
BYU is you know, you nswered the learning you go

1260
00:56:10,199 --> 00:56:12,880
forth to serve and it's through the principles these pillars,

1261
00:56:13,119 --> 00:56:16,119
and one of them is a spiritual component of the gospel, Jesus.

1262
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 3: Christ inviting others to come on the Christ.

1263
00:56:17,559 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: Like you said in FUS is now the newest member

1264
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,960
