Speaker 1: It's time to celebrate the previous team sport known to man,
where modern day gladiators collide for all the glory on
the grid. I let's talk some college football, a lot
cougar sports with Ben cred.
Speaker 2: Welcome back in the sports.
Speaker 3: But at three nine nine am with three esp at
the band I've been We're broadcasting from our Banterwell Studios,
Banterwealth dot Com.
Speaker 2: Get on a free q at A.
Speaker 3: No obligation, you do a rescue and a wereo tax
more Wealth Advisors, our certified financial planners.
Speaker 2: Nobody does it better than Banter Wealth. I want to
talk some college football.
Speaker 3: Lots of turmoil, lots of rankings and ratings, lots of
college football cannibalism has occurred over the weekend, and you
know BLAU was a part of it, right losing to
Texas Tech. So we're going to get an update and
break down some of the rankings and ratings here on
your Utah ESPN Radio network is going to be brought
to you by RDS six Steers RDS six Steers Utah
dot Com. That's right, the best exteer home remodeling company
in the business. They're always obsessed with quality results, quality,
heals quality service. They're the best in the business. And
to discuss all the products and services. Right now, we
have the owner operator on the lat Tim Brown, also
a high school football coach and a college football player.
Speaker 2: Father.
Speaker 3: His son plays at SUU. Let's talk some ball with him.
What's up, Tommy? How the heck are you?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 6: Life is so good.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately our high school team lost on Saturday in the
semi finals, so our high school days are done. But
now I just get to be a dad and go
cheer on my kid the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: Love that man.
Speaker 3: Well, sorry, the wins, the losses, the ups and downs,
it's all part of our football world, right. I was
talking to my family about this and they were all,
they're all grumpy about the Texas Tech game. I'm like, look,
when was the last time that BYU never lost a
game in a season? Right?
Speaker 2: When's the last time?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: One time? And look, here's the thing. The Texas Tech
loss is not about thing. It shows some things.
Speaker 5: It showed some exposures on a few things that we
need to work on, and as long as we take
care of business, we're going to be seeing them again
in three weeks.
Speaker 6: So it really doesn't matter, honestly.
Speaker 3: Gotta take care of business. TCU, Cincinnati, and UCF. Out
of those three games, which game are you most concerned
about and why?
Speaker 6: To me, it's TCU.
Speaker 5: I just think today've actually are maybe the best team
of that my personal opinion. Cincinnati's a paper tiger. I
think Utah exposed them and showed that. I could be wrong,
but that's my opinion with them, and you CEF just
isn't good man. I thought they were going to beat
Houston and they just did what they do and they
fell apart. So to me, it's it's the TCU game now,
the bet it is it's home, right then coming after
a loss should bounce back. But if we can get
them this week, I think we're in good shape to
finish strong.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you get TCU at home since you away, and
then UCF at home. There was a little bit of
college football cannibalism over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Yes, b YU lost.
Speaker 3: They fell to twelfth in the Apeo Pole and twelfth
in the coaches poll. We'll see what the College Football
Playoff Committee has to say about it. Should match it
or sorry. Yeah, it was twelfth in the in the
coaches ball. I was just kind of rechecking my numbers here.
ACC had a little bit of cannibalism and in that
hurt right, that hurt the ACC Big twelve or sorry,
Big ten and SEC still at the top of the
food chain, and then you have Notre Dame Hopper in there.
Do you agree or disagree where the AP and the
Coaches poll ended up putting b YU.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 5: I think the way is right where they should be.
I think they're in a good position too. I'll tell
you The interesting one to me is the Texas one. Now,
that Texas team could be one that they could hurt
in the Texas Tech or b YU, because that's an
SEC school that nobody everybody kind of counted out and
didn't think they were coming in. And if they can
somehow figure it a way to get in, which they're
looking really good right now, that one could be could
be one that hurts the Big twelve and may make
it so the Big CROB only gets one team in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Texas moved up to number ten in the AP
poll as well as the coaches poll. So Texas finding
their way. They're a two lost team, but a whole
lot of hyps surrounding him. A whole lot of credibility
with what they've done in season passing the brand just matters.
But they're winning good football games, no doubt about it.
So by you lost to Texas Tech.
Speaker 2: What can be learned?
Speaker 3: What are the silver linings and what needs to be
improved upon heading into TCU week?
Speaker 5: Would you say, Tim, Well, I think the first thing
is it shows how good our defense really is. I
mean on the offense and do any favors, and the
defense still did really good. In fact, I find not
mistaken that's.
Speaker 6: The lowest score points totals this.
Speaker 2: Year for Tech.
Speaker 5: Yeah on that, but I mean, look, that's that's legit.
I mean, by us defense is the real deal. And look,
they didn't get the turnovers and they didn't usually get
We got beat on special teams, which is surprising me
because that's a that's that's a part of the game
that we've dominated this entire season.
Speaker 6: So they kind of flip the results on that to us.
Speaker 5: So I think when we play them again next time,
and again, assuming we went out, we got to take
care of the ball. Still barely have one interception, which
that was a stupid throw. I don't know why you
did it, But with still only one interception. I think
still some real positives and it's hard to be the
team twice. So I feel really good about where byu is.
Speaker 3: Tell us about some of the deals cooking over at
RGS sixtiers for those that are looking for an exterior
home remodeling company that's upseessed with quality results.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, so one thing I did with our
sales team we just we just need a big November.
We just want to have a big seals in November
to really kind of get us through December and January.
And I'll full disclosure, December and January are two slowest
months for sales. You know, people tend to hibernate, and
so we're trying to really anticipate that.
Speaker 6: So I've given my sales.
Speaker 5: Team any any job that they do, any discounts, any financing,
anything that we always offer. In addition to that, till
the end of the month, we're giving an additional five
percent off. So that is going to end December first,
but they get whatever the best deal that you can
work out with them, and then you get an extra
five percent that's on our sighting, gutters, windows, decks, everything
that we offer and it's not gimmicky, there's nothing, there's nothing,
you don't have to do anything. We're just going to
just do that till the end of the month to
try to really push and have a big November.
Speaker 2: Products services that set you apart from the rest? Would
you say, Tim, Oh, there's no question.
Speaker 6: Look, the thing is about us is everybody's going to
say they're the best. Everybody's going to say that they're
they're the number one company.
Speaker 5: Well, I think for us, we just back it. We
back up by being a business for five generations. We
backup by our Google reviews, We back up by what
we do for our customers. Nobody's perfect and we're not,
and we certainly make mistakes just like the next guy.
But really what sets us apart is when when there's
a mistake made, it's not a matter of but win.
Unfortunately in our industry, mistakes happen, but we own it,
we fix it, and we take care of it.
Speaker 6: And we move on.
Speaker 2: Love what you do.
Speaker 3: Over at RGS, Sixtiers, RGS six Steers Utah dot com,
they have all Matter services, all Matter products, siding, gutters, windows,
custom netalworking, game it they do at Give them a call,
set up an appointment today eight on one nine nine
seven sixty six one six eight o one nine ninety
seven sixty six one six from your fan perch? Do
you feel confident b YU can win out and make
it to Arlington? How do you feel right now? How
you confident b what you makes it to the Big
Total Championship game?
Speaker 5: Well, look, yes, the answer is I'd say ninety five
percent chance.
Speaker 6: That's exactly what's going to happen. Now. We thought that
last year and they kind.
Speaker 5: Of laid the egg onto back to back games, that
Kansas game last year. I'm still stretching my head with
but things are setting up for BYU. I think they're
a better team than they were last year. I think
they've been through it, so yeah, I mean, I think
it's it's a very good possibility that that Tech and
the UAU is going to meet again in two weeks
and let's see what happens.
Speaker 2: Do you feel that Bay is the second best team
in the Big twelve?
Speaker 6: There's yes, no question about it.
Speaker 5: Honestly, who I think the third best team is Utah
And I think that that Frankly, had Tech and b
why you not beating Utah? You'd have a conversation that
Utah should be there, but I think, really I think
Tech and by you are one, one and two and
Utah is really that two to eight.
Speaker 3: Love that Tim Brown, ladies and gentlemen, big BYU fan
would love to earn your business.
Speaker 2: They're at RGS six Steers and Construction.
Speaker 3: It's your home remodeling company that's always getting five star
reviews for their products and services.
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, timppreciate you, buddy.
Speaker 6: He thanks you guys. Having an amazing day.
Speaker 2: Yes, always a pleasure, always a blessing.
Speaker 3: Talking talking with Tim, I may want to revert over
to talk with raiderd Moody Raider to Moodey BYU Safety
right now on the depth chart. I don't know if
you guys saw this has been moved to free safety.
So Tannerwall free safety one, Raider De Mooney free safety two,
Filatile Satawala so they're finding solidifying himself as a strong safety,
and then Talan Alfrey at strong safety number two. Tommy
Prass is still sitting trying to get healthy. He's at Nickel.
I wonder if they're gonna wait to move him back
to free slash strong most likely free in the off season.
We'll see how that plays out, obviously, but that's your
too deep right now. Any other changes you see in
the depth chart of note Ronald the three man weaver
or Brett always bringing the hammer, But that one was
a note that I saw. I was like, hey, maybe
look at that depth chart. Now, the depth chart is
not always accurate. It's not always the most accurate depiction
of what's going on within the program, but I thought
it was interesting that particular move. Anything else stand out
to you guys before we get back to the sound
with Readier to Mooney?
Speaker 2: So did I miss something? Did Justin Kirkland get injured
and I didn't hear about it? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well he didn't really, he's not on the depth chart,
Yeah yeah, and I don't remember hearing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah he's this or that. Yeah, we'll see the
injury report on Wednesday, right, So that stands out to
me a little bit.
Speaker 3: I love that there's still an I know this has
nothing to do with anything, but I still love that
there's an or next to McKay, Hillston and Tracon Borgay
that was so much fun to talk about all at
the beginning of the season, and I love that it's
still there. Cody Hagen and Jojo Phillips. There's an or
right there as well.
Speaker 2: That one. I'm so curious to.
Speaker 3: See what we're gonna get out of Jojo, Like have
we seen everything there is to see? Or is it
just the injury? That's a question I have. And then
the Nickel position. I am not totally sure you wanted
to get rid of rid of the nickel position altogether.
Speaker 2: Yes, can I don't. I don't know what the solution is.
But you don't think it's Kobe or Tavian and Tommy's injured.
I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't feel great about either of those. I mean,
look like, I don't think they were horrible, but I
definitely did not. I haven't felt great about Nickel all season,
and Saturday I don't think helped. And I guess we
thought when we got Jonathan Kubaya back that that would
be fixed, and that didn't really seem to be the case.
And I wish Fallatawer was smaller and then he could
play the nickel position, but obviously he's great at what
he does, so Nickel, like athletically, it's the most difficult
position on the field, and that that's all positions that's
the most difficult. So uh, typically you get like a
five foot nine, one hundred and eighty five and ninety
pound mongoose out there. Just someone who's quick, lightning fast,
and it's physical enough to make tackles too. There's not
that many of those guys out there. That's why it's
they get paid a lot Nickel have a couple, you know,
they get paid a decent amount of the NFL, and
they've been there's a real why smith Snowden has.
Speaker 2: Played so well at Utah.
Speaker 3: He can play outside, but he they put him at
that slot Nickel spot, and he locks down some of
the best receivers on any respective team at the Big twelve.
Speaker 2: Guys, what do you go with me? Ronnie?
Speaker 7: Yeah, obviously like a you know, Brett said the or look,
I'm gonna say this. I was talking with a certain
personnel you know, off record and who I ran into
and they were discussing with me like, look something in
the day and age of college athletics, like you got
to perform injury, not like even if you have a
good season, sometimes you maybe not put in the work
or you might get you know, lacks of days ago
or what might happen like your spot's up at the
end of the season.
Speaker 8: So I bring it up of yeah, I know Jojo
got hurt this year, but like with the way Bau's.
Speaker 7: Moving, if you're not on the ship driving it or
one of the you know, the captains, like you might
find yourself maybe out of out of reps like that
could happen. Like look, look at the game ben Jojo
drops the ball, You're able to get a first down
with Cody Higgin. I'm like, yeah, where's number five? Showcase
him a little more. So everybody needs to be on
high alert. So I just I hope Jojo, you know,
is locked in this week, because if you get your
number called again and you know you're not putting forth
the effort of diving or you're dropping balls like, you
might not see your number called on And I'm just
prize men of the defensive side that was more offensive.
I haven't seen or heard anything about and maybe I
missed something. I can't remember gonna red shirt this year? Okay, okay,
because I was wondering, I'm like, where where's number forty four?
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's been announced, but okay, we
can announced he's getting redshirt this year.
Speaker 7: It is now, Okay, it is now, but yeah, I
was just like, I was like, I remember, you know,
I know he got knocked out the game for targeting.
But guy that feels like plays violent and is just
aggressive at his position.
Speaker 8: Haven't seen him. And I was like, what happened to Fromata?
So thank you for that update.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So he's uh, you know, gonna get bigger, faster,
stronger with a red shirt year and then come back
ready to go in ball out. Uh, you know, either
as a starter or as a rotational uh player in
that second level groep.
Speaker 2: But I think he's gonna be a linebacker.
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be uh kind of like an
Isaiah Glasgow or a freaking Jack Kelly, either one of
those two. Man, Just feel h everything. Just be a
cross trained linebacker in this J Hill defense. You're gonna
you're gonna make a lot of plays and make some cash,
no doubt about it. All right, guys, that's our segment,
great college football segment. But guys, any thoughts, any commentary
about the rankings here, anything that stood out to you,
anything you disagree with AP or coaches Bowl Ohio State
because it's a people Ohio State at one, Indiana two,
Texas A and M three, Alabama four, Georgia five, Ole
Miss six, Oregon seven, Texas Tech eight, Notre Dame nine,
Texas ten, Oklahoma eleven BYU twelve. I thought it was
interesting that Texas Tech only moved up one spot. Yeah,
I honestly think they should have moved above Oregon because
I think their win was more impressive. But I do
think the AP poll voters A don't watch games and
B the ones who do watch games. I think this
is their mindset, and I respect it. Oregon may have
almost lost to Iowa, but Iowa was a ranked team
and Oregon was playing on the road, and so you're
comparing two ranked wins. I think Texas Tech win was better,
but it's hard to say, well, Oregon, you're losing your
spot even though you didn't lose the game and it
was against a good opponent. So from that standpoint, I agree.
And then again, I think those top six until somebody
loses in those top six, I don't think those guys
are moving either.
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be hard pressed for Texas Sect to
move up.
Speaker 3: Given all of that, Let's go to break, don't go
anywhere more to get to It's the November tenth edition
of Cougar Sports. Here on one of three nine ninety

It is stop for a little player profile segment. One
of the the the gems of this BYU Texas Tech
game was Radio to Mooney coming up with a big
pass breakup. He had six total tackles and four solo
thought number three radiar to Mooney looked good on the
most recent depth chart. He has moved to free safety,
which will be interesting to see how that plays out.
He'll probably rotate between free safety and strong sage. I
don't know if that's the end all, be all position
for him, because he's pretty versatile who can play a
multitude of position. We're gonna get to know him a
little bit better in this segment, though. It's gonna be
brought to you by rubies In. Rubies In dot Com.

friends and family members at economic location. Don't go to
the Mouse. I just spent thousands at the Mouse. I
would rather go to Ruby's In. I've already visited rubies
In by the way during our other bye week, so
I've done both. I went to the Mouse and rubies In,
but I would have rather gone to rubies twice. But
my wife loves the Mouse. So anyways, I love Ruby's In.

I spend a lot of money over to that at
the Mouse. Move you to narrow, you know. I mean,
I'm trying to save up for retirement here.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 8: Ryan also says that because he loves the mouse, ben
so let him take it.
Speaker 3: I have, like I didn't come back and I had
a conversation.
Speaker 2: Real talk, real talk, just real quick.
Speaker 3: I talked to my wife andend Mike okay on the vacation,
and then once we got home, I'm like, are are
you wanting to be a Disney family?
Speaker 2: Are you?
Speaker 6: Are you?
Speaker 2: Real question? This is a real quick like because.
Speaker 3: If we're going to Disneyland annually and we're wanting to
take advantage of like discounts and points and things that nature, are.
Speaker 2: Like I need to purchase a Disney card.
Speaker 3: You need to get rid of all these other credit cards,
and we need to put all of our points toward
the Disney Premiere visa, right, so that we can get
discounts while we're there, like ten percent.
Speaker 2: I was looking at it.
Speaker 3: We can you know, get I don't know that there's
like an introductory like thousand dollars back once you spend
like four grand in like three months or whatever. And
maybe we take advantage of like the cruises or the
Alani resort in in a Wahu, you know what I mean,
Like you're gonna cruise some points here instead you know,
I'm I'm looking at the charges and I'm like, I'm
not getting that as many points as I want back
on this?
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? So I asked im, like, are
we a Disney family? Are we not? What are we
doing here?
Speaker 3: I need I need a vision here, Like I'm not
I don't want to be a Disney dad, but I'm
I will also want to be, you know, very respectful
of my wife and what her vision is of what
we're supposed to do with our family. I want to
be the patriarch and saying no, h e double hockey sticks. No,
we're not gonna be Disney family. We can go once
every five years and that's it, and we're gonna go elsewhere.
We're gonna go take other trips on the week, we're
gonna take out more economical trips and we're gonna do
other things besides.
Speaker 2: Going to the Mouse. So anyways, that's my dilemma right now. Guys.
We went every five years when I was a kid
growing up, and.
Speaker 3: And I'm not with people who hate Disney for the
sake of just hating Disney. But I'm also not with
people who are Disney adults. I think being right in
the middle is the perfect balance. Don't tell me that
you're too cool for Disney World, because you're not. But also, like,
I don't trust people who are Disney adults, so you
gotta find some room in the middle.
Speaker 2: And I think that's acceptable. Bro. The Disney adults ruined Disneyland. True,
that is valid, dude.
Speaker 3: They're the most they they're the angriest out of the bunch. Actually,
they're like kind of flittering and flooding around. But they'll
like cut in front of you in line. They'll they'll
like they're angry like you if you're anywhere near him
during like the uh the parades, Oh my gosh, oh
my goodness, like the overgrown adults there that have not
grown up yet. If you're an adult and you're waiting
in line for a character and you don't have kids,
go home, Please go check yourself in somewhere. Maybe ask
your friends if they think you're doing okay. Because look,
when I was a kid, the characters were the coolest thing,
and when you have kids, that's a cool experience. But
if you're my wife and I went this summer and
I'm ashamed to say we saw adults waiting in line
to take a picture with Spider Man and they're grown
adults without kids.
Speaker 2: That is where I draw the line.
Speaker 3: If you're walking up to Winnie the Pooh and you're crying,
and you're a grown ass adult, like and you're crying
as you embrace the Pooh, like, you.
Speaker 2: Need to check yourself.
Speaker 3: You need to stop, You need to you need to
institutionalize yourself, and and like you need you need to
like go away from Disney. You need help, you need help.
This cove look and hating Disney adults is valid. But
the problem is g Man is the opposite extreme of
Disney adults, and I have to draw the line in
the middle.
Speaker 2: So it's a balance. Balance in all things, moderation and
all things.
Speaker 3: And by the way, the log ride, which was, you know,
one of my favorite rides, and it's still a great ride,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Getting what does suck though? As an adult when you're
walking around Disney.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the new Tatiana Tatiana ride, the theme is
not good.
Speaker 2: Really, I just agree.
Speaker 3: I loved Splash Mountain as a kid, and I was
disappointed that we were changing.
Speaker 2: But I understood why. I honestly, I thought it was enjoyable.
I liked it. Didn't like it Splash Mountain. I miss you. Yeah,
he's it's Tiana's by You, right is the name.
Speaker 3: That's also the place where you get the Bennet's and
the benets are pretty good.
Speaker 2: You couldn't get the benet It's so Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Kept calling it Tatiana. I just said, shouldn't it be
Tatiana's by You not Tiana's.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 8: I don't know, I know, but I don't know if
it should be you should have been Tatiana.
Speaker 2: You couldn't keep saying it, right, no, because I kept
calling it Tatiana anyway, all right, By the way, this
is a sports show. I just think I came away
from my last visit.
Speaker 3: This is why I want to go to Ruby's in
all the time, Rubies in dot com Forts last night
sixty book your stacation today, bring your family down there
and hike, bike raising horseback ride. Uh, anyway, because the
Disney adults ruined it for me when I'm out there,
I'll be honest, that's valid. The Disney adults, You're ruined
it for me, for me and you you've ruined rides
there too. You've ruined rides. The Disney adults app.
Speaker 2: Now, most of them aren't even cool enough to do
the rides. They're just waiting in line for characters, hugging
them and crying and weeping.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm out there on Space Mountain and they've been
waiting in two hours, for two hours.
Speaker 2: Thinkture with buzz light. You're with no kids. I'm just
I'm serious. It's crazy to me. It's insane anyway.
Speaker 3: All right, right, the mooney that's my nephew, as Jack
de Moody likes to say his father. All right, let's
get into some sound bites. This is readier to the movie. Uh,
you guys were pretty successful depending the defending the pass game.
Speaker 2: What happened with not being able to stop the run?
Speaker 5: Can't here?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we're gonna get to that here. Moreto now.
Speaker 10: Honestly, I thought I thought there was times that I mean,
I felt like we did a decent job of shopping
the run getting knocked back. There's a couple of big
plays that they had. But overall, I thought, I thought
we did a good job at our assignment. We just
got to finish, you know, making executing the plays that
we had. We were there where we're supposed to be,
but just executing, So that's I think was the main problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, rush defense was are the good?
Speaker 3: I mean, look, you couldn't run in between the tackles,
so they just went off tackle right And a lot
of that was Cameron Dicky just explosive plays, which we
knew coming into this game. They were like number one
and explosive play rate. I thought, like most times, play
in and play out, I thought that it ended the
run pretty well. But it was those ones where Dicky
just exploded that I think kind of skew the numbers
to make it look worse than it really was.
Speaker 2: I agree. I agree.
Speaker 3: Positive takeaway from the red zone defense Raider demody is
that that's something you guys can hang your hat on
moving forward, right.
Speaker 2: Oh, definitely.
Speaker 10: Every every week we go, that's one of our goals,
you know, to be good in the red zone. That's
that's the huge emphasis that we have every weekend. A
huge part portion of our practice is focus on the
red zone. So I think, you know, it's it's not
the result we wanted today, but that's definitely a positive
that we can take from the game.
Speaker 2: Today, something to build on.
Speaker 3: Silver Linings once again, right, silver Linings. Whenever you ever
lost like this, silver Linings was win at all a factor.
This was the winning escape you guys have played in
in a while.
Speaker 2: Nah, I don't think so.
Speaker 10: I think when you're playing you don't even really notice
the win except when you're kicking the ball or throwing
the ball far as a quarterback, but for us, nah
I don't think those an excuse at all.
Speaker 3: Well, it was a factor when you were punting into
the wind, I can tell you that much. The first
shanka shikopotamus off the off the foot was not good.
Speaker 2: And that'll that I'm telling you.
Speaker 3: When in the face of a punter, when did the
face of a butter, They don't like that, and they
do change their mechanics.
Speaker 2: They do change the way they punt.
Speaker 3: I think Sam Vanderhardt a little Shanka Potamus there, Raider,
how do you not let this loss tumble into two
losses like last year?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I think I'm just preparing the same way we prepare
for this game. You know, it was a big game
College game Day, came top ten matchup, but no matter
who we play, preparing for that team the same way
and continue to practice hard.
Speaker 2: You know, we we we're in control of our own destinies.
Speaker 10: Still, we're in a good spot, and so taking advantage
of that, you know, doing the things the right way.
Speaker 2: Once we get on the plane watching that film, get
back to to what we know. Okay, Raider, is this
going to be too big of a stage for this
team at this moment?
Speaker 9: Absolutely not.
Speaker 2: I think it's just h yeah, a lot of it.
We didn't even pay focus to it during the week.
We just know it was there.
Speaker 10: We didn't really interact with anybody when it came to
College game Day. But definitely not a big stage for us.
We've been in games like this before and so moving forward,
just just preparing the same way for.
Speaker 2: Every team they go.

All right, let's get into the sound bites from Tanner.
Wall you're starting free safety for the BYU Cougars. Tanner,
what was the message from the coaches after this tough loss?
Speaker 11: Just don't you know, don't question our our foundation of
our brotherhood, continue to love each other, and you know,
just expect to see these guys again here in a
couple of weeks if we you know, handle the next
few games the right way. But yeah, like these moments
are more important for defining a team, I would say
than even after you know, wins, So important for us
to stick to who we are and not you know,
point fingers and just continue to work towards our goals
and get to a big twelve championship.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think also we may have to find this sound
from the post game. I think BYU Sports Nation may
may have interviewed him. Tanner stated in the post game
that when they were shaking hands with Texas Tech football
players that the Texas Tech players were saying, see you
in a few weeks, see you in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 8: They did say see in a couple of weeks said
that's what it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean, BILIU still has to do the work.
But I mean by a scoring margin standpoint.
Speaker 3: Outside of the ASU game, that was the only loss
that Texas Tech has taken all season long. It was
in in a way setting at ASU. They started their
backup quarterback Will Hammond, and ASU got him. ASU got
him the four point loss, and it came down to
the final possession. Came down to that final possession, that
final try for Texas Tech. But apart from that, BYU,
from a point total standpoint, a scoring margins standpoint, actually
played Texas Tech the best. Maybe from a yardage standpoint,
from an efficiency stamdpoint, you can say, well, no, not really, Ben,
they you know Utah played better or Kansas State better.
But from a the point ontal standpoint, at the end
of the at the end of this game, b why
you lost twenty nine to seven, twenty two point loss.
Here's the SoundBite from Tanner Wall with BYU Sports Nation.
Let's tune in now, opportunity to you sense BYU has
in the remainder of this regular season.
Speaker 11: I mean you could you could just hear it talking
to these guys after the game, like when we were
just shaking hands, like even they were saying, we'll see
you guys in a couple of weeks. So they expect
that from us. I think we definitely expect that for ourselves. No,
we can't get too ahead of ourselves, right, focus one
game at a time, and you know, just try to
get to Arlington for that game in December.
Speaker 3: There you have it, that's Tanner Wall, and you hope,
you pray. If you lose another game, you may not
be in the Big twelve Championship.
Speaker 8: It might be it might be the same thing as
last year. Day I was creeping itself back into the
building ben.
Speaker 3: Multiple two loss teams fighting vying for that that second
position in the Big twelve to be get the invite
to the Big twelve Championship game alongside Texas Tech. We'll
see how it plays out, multi multiple teams tied with
a with a tiebreaker clause in there and delving into
the data in that regard. So you may not have
that guaranteed slot if you lose another game. Now, Tanner,
how do you assess how the defense played versus Texas Tech?
Speaker 9: I thought we played good, not great. I mean defense.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely, I thought I thought defensively, you know,
we were in some tough spots.
Speaker 9: We were able to hold them to field goals on
some short fields.
Speaker 11: You know, there was a couple couple of big plays
that we gave up that we'd love to have back.
I know, you know, Evan Johnson would love that early
pass that kind of you know, gave them some momentum
back as an interception. You know, I think Trey would
like his back on our sideline too. So we definitely
left some plays out there on the field. But in
a game like that where you know, we we got
to play better complimentary football. If the offense, if they're
you know, struggling to get going a little bit, we
got to play great.
Speaker 9: And I didn't think we played great. I thought he
just played good.
Speaker 3: Played good, good enough. I thought at times they played great.
It's hard to be backed up. You know, you have
two great defensive showings in the first two series, and
then your special teams unit offs the punt, fumbles it
and the opponent gets the ball on the twenty and
your backs are against the wall and your force a
field goal. To me, that's elite. That to me is
great great defense. Events like that is so difficult to do,
so difficult, So kudos to the defense. I know there
were a few chunkyards plays. There were certain plays that
they want to have back. They got to execute, they
got to take the ball away, especially when opportunities arise.
Missed opportunities, no doubt about it, were a topic of
the day. We're a theme of the day. But overall
they were good to great all day in my opinion,
and I give them. I give him a B plus plus.
I do some people are like B minus. There were
too many chunk yards plays, missed opportunities, but overall I
give him a B plus all things considered.
Speaker 2: The offense and special teams did not show up in
this game. Number three.
Speaker 3: What was the mood like at halftime after Raider got
that big pass breakup in the red zone.
Speaker 9: Well, that was huge, Like a great way to end
the half.
Speaker 11: Still a two score game right coming into half where defensively,
you know, we're playing well, we're playing hard, you know,
keeping the offense in it, and we're gonna you know,
we were just talking like let's get them the ball
back fast, let's get three an ounces, let's get turnover
so they can get some momentum and get going. So yeah,
coming into halftime, you know, we had a lot of
juice and coming out I feel like, you know, we
were ready to respond and try to go take.
Speaker 3: That game two score halftime lead. Like it was not
completely out of hand.
Speaker 2: At that time.
Speaker 3: Texas Tech was in control and by you had been
able to maintain some semblance of momentum through defensive playmaking ability.
They went Foard on fourth down and Radier to Mooney
had a big PBu. Now, I will say this much
defensive backs, you guys got to stop dropping into the
end zone. When you're playing four or five six yards
into the end zone, that is not good technique. We
need to evaluate that, we need to treat that. I
have diagnosed it doctor Krittle here. I'm not a doctor,
I'm a doctor of football knowledge.
Speaker 11: Here.
Speaker 2: You do not want to be that far into the
end zone. You just don't you want to play.
Speaker 3: If you're going to play at that point, you're playing
all downhill, forcing everything you know, and you're creeping up
to that goal line. You're creeping up to that goal
line as soon as the ball snapped, looking to take
away the football and create PBUs and I and T's,
but we play a little bit too far back in
that end zone. That's something we need to remedy. All right,
let's get back into the sound. Tanner Wall, did you
feel like there was maybe a defining moment for you
guys defensively?
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 11: I mean, I feel like, as I kind of already mentioned,
like coming in, one of our major focuses was to
limit big plays, you know, and so other than like
probably four or maybe five place, I thought defensively, we
played extremely sound, and guys did their job, and we
played the run.
Speaker 2: Well, and so.
Speaker 11: Would I would say, I mean, I can't remember all
of them off the top of my head in the
order that happened, but those are probably the ones that
changed the game the most in their favor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, last thing from tanner Wall. You talked about not
pointing fingers at each other. You're a team captain. How
do you prevent those things from occurring and bounce back
this next week?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, it just comes down to the love
we have for our brothers.
Speaker 11: Like it's the easy thing to do is to, you know,
point the finger of blame and say, oh, we should
have done this, We could have done this, but at
the end.
Speaker 9: Of the day, that doesn't help us very much.
Speaker 11: So continuing in the growth mindset of knowing, Okay, we
got to move on from this. We got a you know,
a huge game at home next week that we got
to go out and win, and you know, don't let
don't beat ourselves, right, so you know, come out and
not have any negative energy or toxic stuff within our
brotherhood that could cause us to implode, and just continue
to love each other and move forward.
Speaker 3: There you have it, Just stay positive and putting in
the work necessary to get better. That's Tanner Wall great
