what do you remember about this rivalry game and what
it meant to you when you were balling in.
Speaker 4: It Ah State rivalry game.
Speaker 5: Obviously the hatred was there, although everybody seems to be
family and we had to win, it was gonna be brutal.
Speaker 2: Well, you guys dominated the rivalry back in your day.
Speaker 3: I mean actually, well, when Ronnie Back took over in
nineteen ninety, there was a little bit of a flip
Utah began to win more football games post nineteen ninety
than they had private that.
Speaker 4: Personally, I'm won in one okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, one to one.
Speaker 4: My junior year we lost, they beat us at home
and we.
Speaker 5: Returned to favor. My senior year went up to Utah
and beat them at home. Ye, so you know, I'm
won in one, and man, I love to see the game.
I knew it wasn't going on for a while, and
you know, as a as a former player, I'm like,
how could you not play Utah.
Speaker 4: Or New Game?
Speaker 3: Well in those in those games, let's talk about the win.
Ninety six. You guys went up the Rice at coach,
What do you remember about that ninety six game?
Speaker 4: Man, the ninety six game was vindication. Man. We went
up there on a mission. As a team. We were
pretty good.
Speaker 5: We had some ringings coming up, we have some different
personnel groupings. We were lethal and we wanted to prove
that our first year that they came home and beat
us was luck.
Speaker 3: Well, you guys did it, and you did it with
an exclamation point me personally two and o versus the
Mighty Utes of the North. But this game under Kyle
Whittingham has been dominated by the Utes. He's eleven and
five all time as the head coach. Okay of the
University of Utah versus b y U. B Y you
looking to send him home with a six loss and
a third straight loss. BYU is two and zero over
the last two games. They have a two game winning streak.
What makes you believe that b YU is coming up
with a win tonight under the lights of level.
Speaker 5: We're at home under the lights of level. That's that's
one of the keys right there. I think our confidence
is pretty high. I think the player are mashing at
a good time, coming off the victory last week and
the fashion that we wanted and was able to keep
it together and pull it out.
Speaker 4: And it's a rivalry game, you know the rivalry games all.

Speaker 3: All right, we're back, little technical difficulty. Tim mctire by
my side talking the BYU Utah rivalry game. Appreciate you
all tuning in, chiming in wherever you're tuning in to,
chiming in from Big Newton kickoff was here earlier. Today
the rivalry game is being put on the map.
Speaker 2: BYU versus Utah.
Speaker 3: We've known about the rivalry for a long time, haven't
been a part of it, but the rest of the
nation they're being put on notice that this is one
of the best, if not the best ribbery game in
college football, Timmy, how special is that to know that
others are being introduced to this robbery and the singular
nature that it is.
Speaker 5: I think it's amazing because, I mean, throughout sports, one
of the key games of the year is the rivalry game.
And everybody knows certain rivalry games throughout their board that
they watch. And for this Utah BYU game to finally
start gaining that notoriety as as both teams are coming
into their own their own on the.
Speaker 4: Map, it's good to see the rivalry be looked at
like this.
Speaker 3: Key matchups in this game that I'm looking at as
far as play calling, it's concerned Aaron Roderick versus Morgan Scalley.
Speaker 2: I'm very intrigued by that battle.
Speaker 3: But for some it's Jason Beck versus j Hill BYU's
defensive coordinator. Who do you think wins out in these
coordinator battles tonight at Lavelle?
Speaker 5: Well, if we're going to win the game, both BYU
coordinators would.
Speaker 4: Have to win out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it got you need both well, And the other
one is actually Special Teams like K pop has been balling.
Uh K Pop and that from a statistical standpoint, ESPNSP
plus actually has the biggest disparity between the two teams,
I believe in the Special Teams room, Utah is currently
right forty fourth in the country and Special Teams BYU
sixth in the country.
Speaker 5: Okay, so that's what made us good when we played
and when we got our vindication was man, we had
awesome special teams with James Die who's supposed to be
meeting me here somewhere in.
Speaker 4: A little bit.
Speaker 3: James is coming, yes, somewhere down down on his row.
Speaker 5: He's supposed to meet me. But Special Teams. I became
a K pop fan last year. As you know, for
the past several years, I've been screaming, we need special teams,
and we need special teams, and last year we got
special teams and a couple of different variations. Man, And
I love to see special teams guy as a special
team guy. I left BYU and I became a special
teams guy.
Speaker 2: So I love it, Love that, man.
Speaker 3: Another matchup I'm looking at is bear Bachmeyer versus Devin Dampierre.
Bear Bachmeyer has thrown for and twenty yards thus far
the season, damp Pier at thirty one. Dam Piers rushed
for three hundred and seventy eight yards, whereas I think
Bears around like two two nine years, so uh so
not too far off from that. They've both been balling
out in both the run and pass game for their
respective teams. They look very similar out.
Speaker 4: There, so they sound like the same guy.
Speaker 2: Right, pretty similar.
Speaker 3: I mean Devin Dappiers, I mean give taking he's five
nine two ten, you know, like two hundred pounds.
Speaker 2: And he's more like like.
Speaker 3: Kind of like a mix between like Russell Wilson, Kyler
Murray type of player and bear Bachmar looks like Tim
Tebow out there running.
Speaker 4: Around, but their stats are similar.
Speaker 5: So if stats are similar, if I couldn't watch the
game and i'm and I'm looking at just stats, they
seem like the same quarterback. And what I mean by
that is is that their game plan seems to be similar.
Regardless of their body type and their attributes, they seem
to be doing the same kind of thing for their.
Speaker 2: Offense, no doubt about it.
Speaker 3: As far as the running, uh the running ability of
both these teams, Utah has two dynamic running backs and
even their RB three that's DJ Byu is built through LJ.
Speaker 2: Martin and Bear Bachmeyer.
Speaker 3: Which rushing game bodes best for their respective teams to
be determined to night.
Speaker 5: Oh, you know what, it's always hard when you allow
two guys to get off, let alone a third to
come in and have any kind of production. I always
look at how BYU starts off. If LJ starts working,
good man, give him the ball and keep giving it
to him. And if he's not, we have to do
a couple of things. But I think in order for
us to be able to pull this one out, he
has to at least have eighty two hundred yards.
Speaker 3: Would love to see it, Jay Hill told us earlier
this week that Jack Kelly will be full go tonight.
Speaker 2: He took last week off versus U of A.
Speaker 3: They stated he could have played, he didn't play, b
like you still got the win. How important? How pivotal
can Jack Kelly be tonight versus the UTS?
Speaker 5: I think Jack's going play a pivotal role because he
brings a lot of athleticism back to the squad running
that sideline of sideline. We have a couple more that
can do that. With Damon Glasker, I think he adds
another dimension of Glasger and helps out a lot in
the defense.
Speaker 3: Well, Tim mctyre here by my side, former BYU, great
defensive bag talking BYU versus Utah one of the more
intriguing battles as well, if I'm talking these position battles,
coordinating battles. Andrew Gentry right tackle, Isaiah john and left
tackle going against two former BYU Cougar football players and
Logan Fano and John Henry Daily. They both transferred from BYU.
They ended up at Utah. They're they're starting defensive ends
right now, John Henry Daily and Logan Fano versus BYU's
offensive tackles. Look thus far this season John Henry is
one of the best pass rushers in college football. He's talented.
Eight sacks thus far the season.
Speaker 5: That is amazing. So far this season, a sacks is
a lot.
Speaker 4: I don't care.
Speaker 3: What's that to Kiyofo that there are two former BYU
players that are starting along the defense line.
Speaker 2: We got one too, Keanu Tanabasa.
Speaker 3: We got one. Shout out to the BYU fans. Let's
go baby killing it leve you guys appreciate it.
Speaker 4: That seems to be a theme within the past ten years.
Speaker 3: Of the cross pollination, the back and forth.
Speaker 4: Even between coaches. You know, it's just like like I said, man,
it's a rivalry, but everybody's family.
Speaker 5: I coach with Fino's dad right now, so that's how
I know those guys. And I've been keeping an eye
on certain guys by who I know here.
Speaker 4: Of course, will Snowdon Son to be playing as well.
Speaker 5: So I mean, like I said, I love it because
it's a rivalry and everybody's family.
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's it's a big deal, man. It's
a real big deal out here.
Speaker 5: And if once you get to know and watch a
BYU Utah rivalry game, you'll totally understand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you look at the BYU coaching staff and those
that have crossed pollinated a little bit. Obviously, Kalannie was
up at the U for ten years as the defensive coordinator.
J Hill a former Utah U defense back, but he
played at Ricks prior to that. Aaron Roderick, although a
former b YU Cougar, was up at the up on
the Hill for years as the OC quarterbacks coach.
Speaker 2: We have.
Speaker 3: I think Justin Enna spent time up there. Sioni Polo
is a former player and coach up at the U.
Gary Anderson former coach up at the U. Chad k
was coaching up at the U, I believe, also Ray
Raylan Singleton, former football player at the U. There's a
ton of of crossover here up there. You have Jason Beck,
former b YU Cougar football player. You have Koy Detman
Koy Detmer junior quarterbacks coach, Micah Simon, former b YU
wide receiver. Like, just go down the list that mark
is up there.
Speaker 2: I think there's like it's like six and seven.
Speaker 3: There's like seven coaches on Bay staff that had affiliation
with Utah and six on their staff that had affiliation
with BYU.
Speaker 5: That's crazy, But that's that's funny. Man, it's crazy, it's funny.
It's amazing to see how that works out. Indeed, it
is give me as corporatediction. How do you see this
game playing out tonight? Man, I'm gonna go typical thirty
one thirty four BYU.
Speaker 3: Thirty one thirty four BYU and they win by a
field goal.
Speaker 2: That's not too bad. I'm not too shabby.
Speaker 4: I'm not too shabby.
Speaker 5: I think both teams are are in the thirty point
range as far as talent, as far as what they've
been doing all year, give and take.
Speaker 4: It's gonna come down to field position and mistakes.
Speaker 2: Yep, no doubt about it. Tim mctire.
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, we'll take a brief time out. We're
live from the Swig just south of Lavelle Edwards Stadium.
Come on by, get some pulled pork sandwiches, grab yourself
a swig, get some Royal Army brand gear. Cougar fans
showing up, showing out love Cougar Nation. They're hanging out
with us, Come hang out with us. It's a spectacle.
BYU not the favorite in this game. They are a
three and a half dog over under his set at
forty nine and a half could be a most scoring event.
Speaker 2: I like Tim's prediction.
Speaker 3: It would be awesome if it was a high scoring
event over forty nine and a half.
Speaker 2: We'll see how it plays out. You're listening to Cougar
Sports on one of three ninety eight point three
