All right, Jay Hill commentary, Jay the Cincinnati offense. What

23
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:07,879
does the film say about them?

24
00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 3: Throw it?

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 4: I like the way he competes a lot. He's got

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,159
a lot of weapons around him. The tight end number

27
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:21,599
eleven is really good. I like the three or four

28
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,519
wideouts that they use. The running backs run hard, so

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,959
I mean, you can see why they've had so much success.

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 3: Early in the year.

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,599
Speaker 4: They're a talented crew and well coached too.

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: So talented crew, well coached, really good quarterback leading them,

33
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,840
So anything could happen out there in Cincinnati. Gotta bring

34
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,640
your best game. Is uh Sores be like anyone you faced?

35
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:49,599
Or is he a beast of his own?

36
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,599
Speaker 3: Well, I'm trying to think.

37
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,319
Speaker 4: I think he's a lot like Hoover as far as

38
00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:59,319
the way he throws it. Last week's quarterback, you know,

39
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,840
I I love that guy. I think he throws it

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,159
very well. I think Sowarsby is very similar. He throws

41
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,520
a really good ball. He is very athletic. He's a

42
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,400
little bit more willing to run than some of the

43
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:14,520
quarterbacks that we faced the last couple of weeks anyway,

44
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,159
But yeah, he's one of those quarterbacks and hurt you

45
00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:19,319
with his feet and his arm.

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,039
Speaker 3: We got to work cutout for us with him, for sure.

47
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: I mentioned it yesterday. Soresby is a really good quarterback.

48
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: He's one of the best in college football from a

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,759
PFF standpoint, better than Hoover, much better than Hoop. In fact,

50
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:36,039
he's actually ahead of Noah Fafita. If that makes you,

51
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,639
If that makes you, if you, if you, if you

52
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,879
want to, if you want me to, it's still a

53
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,919
little bit of fear into your heart. No Fafida a

54
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,080
really good quarterback in college football. We got to see

55
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:46,439
him the last couple of years. We were able to

56
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,159
stymy his progress, no doubt, but Noah one of the

57
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:54,159
most pure throwers in college football. Soorsby is just like

58
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:57,680
unto Noah Fafita. And he's a better runner than Noah. Uh,

59
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,840
he'll he'll be able to scoot a little bit. Now, Jay,

60
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,840
how excited are you about the progress of the defensive line.

61
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,599
Speaker 4: Well, the interiors playing out standing for about four or

62
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,159
five weeks now, they've just been very dominant inside any

63
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,360
runs and stuff that we've been giving up is hitting

64
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,400
more on the perimeter. I just I can't say enough

65
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:20,080
about how Keanu and JT have played the last couple

66
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,400
of weeks. They've been outstanding. It's been huge having new

67
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:27,879
Sea and Tao seely just their pass rush presence the

68
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,759
last two games is starting to show up.

69
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: And again that's not taken away from.

70
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 4: Some of the other guys that have played a lot,

71
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,719
like Logan the two he continues to play at a

72
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,360
very high level.

73
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: Hunter Klugg's going to be a great player.

74
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,439
Speaker 4: But I see the progression of the defensive line really

75
00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:42,680
coming along, and that's part of the reason why we've

76
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,520
played pretty good the last couple weeks.

77
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: Really good progress, no doubt, Ronald. I know you really

78
00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:51,560
like this particular sound by what do you make of it?

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, the reason why I've been We played one about

80
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:55,240
a month ago and I wish I wud have doubted

81
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:57,319
up the went back. But I know j Hill for

82
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,520
a fact says that he challenged the defense line. He's

83
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:03,439
challenging those guys you mentioned it as well. Use not

84
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:05,240
that they were playing bad, but I don't think they're

85
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,039
playing up to the expectation. Look, they were giving the

86
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:10,280
whole narrative. Don't care about sacks. But they were getting

87
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,400
pressure really on the quarterback, that was the thing. And

88
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:15,599
they had interceptions, but they were like misthrows are overthrows.

89
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:16,519
Speaker 6: They weren't really being.

90
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 5: As consistent and dominant on third down and in the

91
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:20,120
fourth quarter to put games away.

92
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:21,639
Speaker 6: In the last month, they've done that.

93
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,399
Speaker 5: Go back and look, yeah they lost to Texas Tech,

94
00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:25,720
but even then had four sacks in the first half

95
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:28,240
the Iowa State game. Now you bring in the TCU,

96
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:31,000
this defensive line is really vamped it up. Keanu had

97
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,519
his best game. You mentioned the bull rush. Great questions

98
00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:35,800
about you in the post game to see he got

99
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:36,879
to the quarterback late.

100
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,759
Speaker 6: Noosey got to the quarterback late.

101
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,959
Speaker 5: So this defensive line has come on young, like Klaney's mentioned,

102
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:44,360
but a lot of talent and they're only gonna get

103
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,399
I think guys are gonna have big breakout seasons next year,

104
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,800
depending on who's here. But man, I love what I

105
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:52,279
see from the BU defensive line, and I know Jay

106
00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:54,160
Hill does too. So I think they've been challenged and

107
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,439
they answer. They're answering the call. They haven't answered it,

108
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,360
they've been answering it.

109
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: Love it great breakdown. Let's get it at before. You

110
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:03,319
had high expectations for Kiata when he came here. Has

111
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,079
he lived up to those expectations?

112
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: Oh?

113
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's absolutely lived up to it.

114
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,759
Speaker 4: I mean, in our defense, you want a stud inside

115
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,920
that can take on a double team, that can be physical,

116
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,560
that can knock things back. And I really think the

117
00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:18,759
last couple of weeks he's really shown that. You know,

118
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,319
it's always new going into a new program and techniques

119
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:24,639
and schemes and all that stuff, but I think he's

120
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,879
settled in very well and he's definitely a dominant force

121
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:29,560
in the defense.

122
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,639
Speaker 1: Do we feel collectively, let's ask Kugarnation do you feel

123
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:37,439
that Keano has lived up to the hype? Jay Hill

124
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:39,800
says yes. How do you feel about it? Rat of

125
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,519
the three man weaver?

126
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 6: I feel yes. Look, fans, this is the problem.

127
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 5: Fans look at Utah and what he did last year

128
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,480
and they go to the freaking stat board and stats

129
00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:51,639
are great, they are, guys, but look how many times.

130
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,079
Speaker 2: He was injured for most of the year last year.

131
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,879
Speaker 6: He was But like they go to, that's what they

132
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:55,439
go and look, I.

133
00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: Don't even know if his stats were all that impactful.

134
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:01,519
Speaker 5: From AAH game. I remember that for sure.

135
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

136
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,439
Speaker 1: Like, but like last year he only had sixteen total tackles,

137
00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:07,720
eight solo, eight assisted, one sack.

138
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 2: It's not like he had four passes defended.

139
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: Uh, But like it's like he was out of this

140
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,759
world in twenty twenty four.

141
00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 6: No, he wasn't, because that's what the stats show. But

142
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,120
that's what they bau fans do.

143
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 5: They think a high level player that performed at Utah,

144
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,240
that's a big name, that's a big part of someone

145
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,199
else's defense, comes to BYU. They have those same expectations. Valid, right,

146
00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:30,920
But look at Tyler Baddy last year. Like Tyler Baddy

147
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,160
last year been maybe the numbers didn't show for but

148
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:34,839
you know how many double teams that he took up

149
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,000
to allow people to play one on one, how many

150
00:06:37,079 --> 00:06:39,680
QB hurries that he had, Like, Keanu has been able

151
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,360
to do the same thing like and especially when you're

152
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,160
playing nose guard, like that's what's gonna happen. But it's

153
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:47,240
allowed his defensive line the guys around him to really

154
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,720
perform the names that I mentioned just a few minutes ago.

155
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,199
So Keanu has performed up the expectation and look, I'm

156
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:56,399
gonna go this had the opportunity see a scout say, hey,

157
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,160
what do you like about Biu's defensive line. They said

158
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,079
number fifty seven is going to be playing on Sundays.

159
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:03,519
Speaker 6: There you go.

160
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:05,959
Speaker 5: I don't know how many times I have to say it. Guys, Look,

161
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,439
we don't know anything. We get paid minimum. Ben, you

162
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,680
know more than us because you played right. But you

163
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,800
ask these guys that know what they're talking about, and

164
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,240
that's the feedback that gave.

165
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:15,839
Speaker 6: Same when you connected to basketball.

166
00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:18,199
Speaker 5: When I sat next to the scout at the Utah

167
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:20,920
game in BYU for basketball is Yego den lottery pick.

168
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 6: He's a lottery pick, and look what happened.

169
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:25,199
Speaker 5: So trusting those that are evaluating the game, they know

170
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:25,959
it at a high level.

171
00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 6: I think Keanu has done that. Man, maybe you want him.

172
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:30,519
Speaker 5: To get to the quarterback a little bit more sure

173
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,959
he mentioned effort, but I think Keanu has loved that

174
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:35,839
to that expectation. The question now is when the season

175
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,439
is over, will he declare for the draft or will.

176
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:39,639
Speaker 6: He come back for one more season.

177
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:41,279
Speaker 2: I will say this much.

178
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:44,639
Speaker 1: Kiato in the postgame stated that he didn't feel like

179
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,800
he's played up to his potential and this last game

180
00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:55,399
at home in a in a pretty wilder Rockets environment,

181
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:59,199
he had his best game. So well, I think that's

182
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:04,040
where I think that's why the question was elicited, right,

183
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,480
That's why the question was posed in this situation because

184
00:08:07,519 --> 00:08:10,519
Kano said that some of the fans have felt like

185
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,680
he hasn't been as impactful and that may be a

186
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,480
bit folly because you're, like I said, you're a defensive alivening.

187
00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: You're taking double teams all the time.

188
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,399
Speaker 1: They look at the bau Utah game as the standard

189
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,000
when he was really up to the challenge and he

190
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,079
was dominant, the best guy on the football field, and

191
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,439
they expect that every single game. There's a lot to

192
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:31,800
take in, but Jay says he's met the standard.

193
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:33,919
Speaker 2: So you either believe Jay or you don't.

194
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,879
Speaker 1: Now Jay, how does having more cornerbacks to play help

195
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:40,600
his defense?

196
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:43,519
Speaker 4: Well, the more band we can play, the more we

197
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,799
can load the box and you know, blitz and do

198
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:46,679
some other things.

199
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,159
Speaker 3: So in this defense, it's very important.

200
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,039
Speaker 4: And having those guys on the perimeter that can play

201
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,799
pressman and off man, I think mixes, you know what,

202
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,080
the with the offensive coordinator and the quarterback as seeing.

203
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,200
I think that's a big deal, and then if we

204
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,399
can mix in our zones with it, I think we

205
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,639
become the defense that we want to be. So you

206
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,519
gotta have corners that can cover in this defense?

207
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:11,279
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure.

208
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:13,399
Speaker 4: You know we're gonna have to play some man coverage

209
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,279
against them. We're gonna have to load the box at times.

210
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:18,399
We're gonna have to give different looks for the quarterback.

211
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,480
I mean, all those things that we try to hang

212
00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:23,039
our hat on, We're gonna have to play games with

213
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,720
the quarterback's mind a little bit on.

214
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: Some of the disguises he sees.

215
00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:29,039
Speaker 4: So all those things become important as to what we're

216
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:30,559
trying to accomplish in the game plan.

217
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: That was Vig's question. Sorry, I posted it correctly.

218
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: How do is having having quarterbacks that can play more

219
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:40,159
man man to man help this defense?

220
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: So?

221
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: Vic, did you want to chime in on the quick No,

222
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,440
you don't want to get in on the access, right,

223
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,080
Vics is always working behind the scenes, my guy. Uh,

224
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,919
but yeah, look, it's it definitely helps look the ability

225
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,840
to play any coverage, Like, you don't want to just

226
00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:56,039
be all one mad because then the corner or the

227
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,840
quarterback knows exactly what you're doing.

228
00:09:57,879 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: On every single play. You want to be able to

229
00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:00,720
way two.

230
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: Man you know, man free cover zero, and you want

231
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,559
to be able to play cover two, cover four, Cover three,

232
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,559
Cover eight, cover six. You want it all in your

233
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,240
in your repertoire, you want it all in your tool belt.

234
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,919
Speaker 2: Period. So yeah, you want it, but you wanted you

235
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:19,559
want it all.

236
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: If you're a coordinator, they have a uh have a

237
00:10:25,159 --> 00:10:27,799
low time of possession as a team. Does that affect

238
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,600
you guys at all? Defensively?

239
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 4: Not really A lot of the reason why they don't

240
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,720
possess balls because they score so fast. I mean they're

241
00:10:35,759 --> 00:10:39,200
hitting huge one or two plays and they're scoring touchdowns.

242
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,039
I mean, they've been pretty dynamic that way. So I

243
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,720
don't read into time and possession that much. It's more

244
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:47,519
to me about how many points do they score in

245
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:49,519
the efficiency of their drives.

246
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: They score quickly, They score extremely efficiently. They can they

247
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,720
can put up points real quick uh and be always offense.

248
00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:04,240
They possess the ball, so you want to keep soresby

249
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,879
off the field. It's also a part of this, and

250
00:11:08,919 --> 00:11:11,480
it elongate those drives. If they are picking up first downs,

251
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,759
hopefully their long drives, they're not picking up chunk yards plays. Jay,

252
00:11:15,799 --> 00:11:17,919
what are your thoughts on their run game. They're expected

253
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,919
to get their top running back back.

254
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: I believe well.

255
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,639
Speaker 4: I think both running backs are different. Like Number three

256
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,559
is super physical, sees it well, we'll run down hill

257
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,600
and go right through you. Number six has got great vision,

258
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,840
he's got good wiggle in the whole. I think they

259
00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:38,399
complement each other very well, and I think they're well coached.

260
00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: So this is a good running back crew.

261
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:41,879
Speaker 2: Yeah.

262
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: Getting their one of their their prized jewels at running

263
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,879
back back in this lineup is a boot for him,

264
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,720
no doubt. And being at home helps a lot too.

265
00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:54,559
It's gonna be a closer game than I think BA

266
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:58,440
fans think. Where would TCU rank amongst all the defensive

267
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,559
defensive performances thus far this season, Jay.

268
00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:06,159
Speaker 4: I don't know the ranking, but I was definitely happy with,

269
00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:08,440
you know, holding a quarterback that I think is one

270
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,080
of the best in the Big twelve to ten for

271
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,840
twenty three passing I think was huge. And to have

272
00:12:12,919 --> 00:12:15,480
him throw two interceptions in a pass efficiency rating of

273
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,200
ninety three and all that stuff. I mean, I think

274
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,000
that that is huge. Just the way we started and

275
00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:25,440
then finished the game was big. So and I think

276
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,559
TCUs a dang good football team because if you just

277
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,000
look statistically going into this game, I mean, they had

278
00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:34,799
played very well in every game. They were in every game,

279
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,440
and their offense had done some really good things. So

280
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,840
I think it was a good performance against a very

281
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:42,240
good team.

282
00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: Good performance, great team, gave a lot of respect to Hoover,

283
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,840
and if I'm not mistaken, BYU held Hoover to his

284
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:57,039
lowest efficiency rating as a quarterback since like twenty twenty three,

285
00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:02,720
pretty imprisive over two years of efficiency metrics, and BYU

286
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,600
held them through his lowest efficiency rating from a quarterback.

287
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,120
I think QBR and passing efficiency rating in the last

288
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,840
two years impressive work, no doubt most impressive. Let's get

289
00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:15,840
into the final few questions here. How do you feel

290
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:17,879
your group is tuning out the noise with all the

291
00:13:17,919 --> 00:13:21,200
outside rankings and things that can distract them?

292
00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:25,279
Speaker 4: Well, hopefully, well, we as coaches don't hear the noise

293
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,200
too much because we know not to listen to it

294
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:30,399
or look at social media too much and all that stuff.

295
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:33,720
So I don't really know the noise. But for the

296
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,320
most part at BUYU, we have a pretty mature team

297
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,639
that I think can put that behind them, and it's hard.

298
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: Right, everyone tells you how great you are.

299
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,279
Speaker 4: This could happen if you just keep winning. I mean,

300
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,720
they know where they're at. They hear it, but hopefully

301
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:49,960
they're mature enough to handle it.

302
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,519
Speaker 2: You got to be mature at BYU.

303
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: It's the low hanging fruit for all pundits, for all handlers,

304
00:13:58,759 --> 00:13:59,840
for all commentators.

305
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,519
Speaker 2: They're a mature team. Got to be mature.

306
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: How has your recruiting been affected by all the success recently?

307
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: J Hill, Well, it's.

308
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,519
Speaker 4: Way easier to recruit when you're winning. I know that

309
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,799
the last two seasons have been huge for US. I

310
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,480
feel like we've had really great recruiting classes. We have

311
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,600
some really top notch guys committed to us right now.

312
00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:23,480
So I think recruiting just keeps getting better and better.

313
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,799
And as we continue to win, and with NIL and

314
00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:29,480
BYU and everything that the school represents, I think recruiting

315
00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:31,279
is going to continue to get better and better.

316
00:14:32,279 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: That was another Vic Cram question.

317
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,399
Speaker 6: Boo, shut up, Vic, that's a great question, Vic, Vic.

318
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, buddy, yeah, buddy.

319
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: Great questions, Great questions from my guy Vic. All right, guys,

320
00:14:44,399 --> 00:14:47,879
and yeah, success and recruiting will continue to ramp up,

321
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,200
no doubt about it as B where you wins twenty

322
00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:53,080
and three over the last three seasons, thus far pretty crazy.

323
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:58,080
Average scoring winning margin about fourteen points, not too shabby.

324
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,440
You'd like it to be better, especially for all the

325
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,120
style points the College Football Playoff Committee wants to have.

326
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,080
It is what it is. We need more style points.

327
00:15:06,279 --> 00:15:08,679
Even if I mean Claudie wants style points, I think

328
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,960
it's just you gotta find a way to win. Winning

329
00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:13,360
is the most important thing. Style points come as an

330
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,240
answer their component to any any game. And quite honestly,

331
00:15:17,399 --> 00:15:22,120
you know, is B why you good enough to play

332
00:15:22,159 --> 00:15:23,120
with style points?

333
00:15:23,519 --> 00:15:23,799
Speaker 2: Well?

334
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: The component all that is playing at home versus on

335
00:15:28,039 --> 00:15:32,600
the road. The style points have to come, in my opinion,

336
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:36,679
the most important at home. That's where you have the advantage.

337
00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:39,679
And they did that last week and they get another

338
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,120
opportunity versus UCF.

339
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:41,519
Speaker 2: Nice.

340
00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: It would be nice to get style points at Cincinnati.

341
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,240
It would be very nice. But I fear the committee

342
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:49,240
will only say, we'll ultimately say, well, you're just doing

343
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:51,320
what the thirteenth ranked team in the country did right

344
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,360
behind you, Utah. They beat them by thirty points. You

345
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,720
should too, all right, Ronald, what do you got for me?

346
00:15:56,039 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 6: I think you need to win by thirty.

347
00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 5: Look, Ben, you mentioned it in the first segment here

348
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:03,240
and the first hour. If you missed that download on

349
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,799
the podcast, it should be up now. But look, you

350
00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:09,200
gotta win by thirty. Ben still at Cincinnati, because if

351
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,879
someone loses in front of you, one thing you can

352
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,320
do is how much you win and how much you

353
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:13,639
went by.

354
00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:15,519
Speaker 6: I know that Kline's not going to get into.

355
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,039
Speaker 5: That, but you need to keep this team to as

356
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,600
least amount of points as possible and score as many

357
00:16:20,879 --> 00:16:23,200
because if someone in front of you does lose, you

358
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,960
don't want the committee says, well, you know you played

359
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,279
a one score game. If you blow out your last

360
00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:30,480
three opponents like you did, if you win the way

361
00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:32,799
you won against TCU, when something happens in front of

362
00:16:32,799 --> 00:16:35,240
you that you can't control, but you go out and

363
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:38,000
take care of business, that might help BYU's thing. I

364
00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:40,639
don't even think if a team before them, you know

365
00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:42,639
a spot or two, if they were to lose and

366
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:44,399
b WHYU were to win out and they go to

367
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:46,080
the title game and lose, I don't think that would

368
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,279
still help them. I think they must win these last

369
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,679
three games by like thirty plus in order to give

370
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,080
themselves a shot even if they were to win and

371
00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:54,440
not win, but even if they were to lose in

372
00:16:54,519 --> 00:16:56,759
the title game, barring someone else lose in front of you,

373
00:16:56,799 --> 00:16:57,200
because I.

374
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 6: Still don't trust the committee.

375
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,279
Speaker 5: I still feel if someone lost in front of you,

376
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,720
depending who's behind you that wins, that's gonna give them

377
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:06,200
our They're looking for two loss teams been to put

378
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,279
in front of you, So you have to leave no doubt.

379
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,319
Speaker 6: You have to take that second loss in the title game,

380
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:11,400
if no loss at all.

381
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 5: And you've got to beat these last two opponents by

382
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,319
thirty because you control that and that will prove to

383
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,519
the committee and it matches the team behind you.

384
00:17:17,559 --> 00:17:21,599

00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: Isaiah Glasker addressed the media earlier this week, and Ig

418
00:19:04,279 --> 00:19:06,160
has come on strong over the last couple of games

419
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,759
after being riddled with injuries mid season post Colorado game,

420
00:19:09,799 --> 00:19:11,519
and he's finally getting back into the swing of things

421
00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:15,480
and balling out as his potential would merit.

422
00:19:15,759 --> 00:19:17,079

baller shot collar. How fun was it to play in

445
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,319
front of l e s again?

446
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 9: It's always fun and less I feel like, especially with

447
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,599
the crowd and the student section, it so you always

448
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:32,920
have a good time, just because you can know they're

449
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,359
always gonna have the juice, and especially just having all

450
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,000
the voice play.

451
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 10: It's it's always a blast.

452
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,759
Speaker 1: So always a blash, always balling in front of the

453
00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:44,519
Brigham Young University fans under the lights of level. It's

454
00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:47,079
always glorious. How does the crowd help you guys play?

455
00:20:47,319 --> 00:20:47,559
Speaker 10: I g.

456
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,279
Speaker 9: I feel like we just feed off of the crowd,

457
00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:53,079
you know what I'm saying every time we make plays,

458
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,279
they bring the juice, and then just kind of I

459
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:58,480
don't know, we all like offense, defense, special teams. I

460
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,200
feel like we all just the crowd gets us into it.

461
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: So always find the jewe speaking of the Jews, Noose,

462
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,039
who's got the juice?

463
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: Now? Number five defensive van.

464
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: When you got ig Jack, Kelly Noose and Taucilia Kanna

465
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:17,119
in a pass rushing situation, that's a recipeta oasis. Well

466
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,640
that's a recipe for sacks in provo. What do you

467
00:21:21,759 --> 00:21:30,960
make of this Cincinnati offense in Brendan Soresby.

468
00:21:29,519 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 9: They have a good balanced offense. They can they can

469
00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:34,160
run the ball well. Their quarterbacks solid quarterback, you can

470
00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:38,160
throw and run and I don't know the receivers they're

471
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,680
pretty fast. So we really do have a challenge right now,

472
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,599
and I'm just kind of excited to go against Cincinnati.

473
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: Let's go, Let's let's take on that challenge head on.

474
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:50,519
Speaker 1: You guys have played a lot of night games, but

475
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,160
a night game on the East Coast is a bit

476
00:21:53,319 --> 00:21:53,880
is a bit different.

477
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: Are you embracing it?

478
00:21:54,799 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: Because the vampire cougar seemed like a real thing.

479
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 9: I feel like it's kind of like the same you

480
00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:03,680
get in the two hour difference. It's like still like

481
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,759
we're playing at a fifteen. I feel like most of

482
00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:07,920
our games this season have been a fifteen getting home

483
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,720
at like three am, four am, So I don't know.

484
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,079
At this point of the season, I feel like we're

485
00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:13,839
already used to it, and it's I don't know, I

486
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,160
feel like the coug's played better at.

487
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:15,519
Speaker 10: Night, So.

488
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 2: Vampire Kug's is it really something? Right?

489
00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: Is it really a competitive advantage for BYU to play

490
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,920
at night or is it more correlated to the strength

491
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,039
of schedule the opponent. It's an interesting debate. I know

492
00:22:34,079 --> 00:22:38,400
we've debated before. There's a little bit of bullb I think,

493
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,319
but you know, typically you know these it's like the

494
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:43,720
Texas Tech game. Obviously, TEXTEP is the best team that

495
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,559
has played all season long, and the one loss was

496
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,680
a day game because College game Day was there, and

497
00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:53,759
you know, so the strength of schedule and.

498
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 2: Maybe the time of day have something to do with it.

499
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: At any rate, What is it about playing under the

500
00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:04,799
lights that you've learned so well? I don't know if

501
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:08,000
that's the accurate question, but what is it about playing

502
00:23:08,039 --> 00:23:10,000
under the lights?

503
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 10: I feel like really just the schedule that we have.

504
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 9: I feel like just starting from the end of the season,

505
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,279
having eight fifteen games, it's I don't know, we're just

506
00:23:19,319 --> 00:23:21,079
kind of used to it right now. And then really

507
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,960
just I feel like the hard part is just waiting.

508
00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:25,559
Speaker 10: Until you get to the game. You're you're in the

509
00:23:25,559 --> 00:23:26,400
hotel all day.

510
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 9: It's like you're seeing all these other college games and

511
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,640
it's I don't know, you just kind of get antsy

512
00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:31,200
to play.

513
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 10: So I feel like that is a big factor too.

514
00:23:35,079 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, it's great under the lights. I don't know where.

515
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,359
I like why we're going down. There's a lot of

516
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,480
question at any rate. Was it a little weird to

517
00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:46,599
leave the hotel and it was already dark?

518
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:50,839
Speaker 9: Already dark? Yeah, most definitely. Usually leaving the stadium, it's

519
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,680
like the sun still out. But I don't know, as

520
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,119
soon as we went to the bus as it was dark.

521
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,880
But it's like you get to the stadium and it's

522
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,440
like the atmosphere is great. So it's like, I don't know,

523
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,839
you kind of just used to it at this point.

524
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.

525
00:24:01,279 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: TCU was one of the better passing offenses in the

526
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:03,839
Big Twelve.

527
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,519
Speaker 2: What was working so well to limit.

528
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 9: That I would say, really, just our our front seven

529
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,720
get into the quarterback. Uh, we have a great defense,

530
00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:13,839
and uh, really just our our front defensive linemen.

531
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,559
Speaker 10: They do a good job up front.

532
00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:17,319
Speaker 9: And I feel like that played a big factor in

533
00:24:17,759 --> 00:24:19,240
I don't know what the quarterback can see.

534
00:24:19,319 --> 00:24:24,839
Speaker 1: So and finally, how has the defense helped you this season?

535
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 2: When everyone does they're one eleventh.

536
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 9: I feel like, really we just play off of each other.

537
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,759
I feel like every week that's why you see different

538
00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:36,240
players make different plays. And I feel like when the

539
00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:38,960
time comes, the kids on our team, we make plays.

540
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,599
Speaker 10: And so, uh, I don't know, I.

541
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,079
Speaker 9: Just it's great having the dbs that we have, and

542
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,319
especially the other linebackers and the d line. It's like

543
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,319
everybody on our team can make plays, and it just

544
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,640
kind of just depends on the week, you know what

545
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,039
I'm saying.

546
00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's a good question, right there, Vig,

547
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:56,680

Speaker 2: I want to get into a couple.

585
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: Of sound bites and commentaries here, Like I think we're

586
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:40,720
finally seeing the Keanutanavasa that we saw versus the University

587
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:45,279
of Utah. That guy who was actually running at like

588
00:26:45,319 --> 00:26:47,039
eighty five percent was the most dominant guy in the

589
00:26:47,079 --> 00:26:49,960
field in that Holy War a season ago at rice

590
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:55,599
Equl Stadium, BYU came out triumphant, but Keanu looked like

591
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:03,440
a freaking beast on the football. An unstoppable force was

592
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,000
kean Utana Vasa in that game. When he entered the portal,

593
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,119
Jay Hill made the pitch to Keanu to come to

594
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:16,960
Brigham and he was getting many offers, many powerful, prominent

595
00:27:17,839 --> 00:27:23,400
and uh uh you know very I would say, lucrative offers.

596
00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:26,079
Via the portal, some of the biggest names in college

597
00:27:26,079 --> 00:27:28,799
football wanted Kanu Tona vasa b what you got him?

598
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,480
Jay Hill said, You're you're a program changing acquisition for us.

599
00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:38,119
You're a program changing player from a leadership standpoint, from

600
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:43,559
a playmaking standpoint. So just how well has Kianu performed

601
00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:46,920
thus far this season? Like I said, I've heard rumblings

602
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,240
from Kugarnation saying things like, man, Kanu just hasn't been

603
00:27:51,279 --> 00:27:54,319
as his packed as impactful as I thought he would be.

604
00:27:56,319 --> 00:27:58,519
Speaker 2: Let's let's talk about his stats over the years. Twenty

605
00:27:58,559 --> 00:27:59,160
twenty two.

606
00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:04,759
Speaker 1: Six total tackles three solo, three assisted, one sack, one

607
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:07,559
pass defended. That was twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three,

608
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,720
twenty seven total tackles, seven solo, twenty assisted, two sacks,

609
00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:18,839
one force fumble, no passes defended. Last year sixteen total tackles,

610
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:25,160
eight solo, eight assisted, one sack, four passes defended. This

611
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:31,240
year nineteen total tackles seven solo, twelve assisted, two sacks,

612
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,559
two passes defended. When you look at those stats like

613
00:28:35,599 --> 00:28:37,480
they're pretty much right in line with what he's been

614
00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:39,000
doing his entire career.

615
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,079
Speaker 2: Why is that right?

616
00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: We are you expecting more than that he could have

617
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,319
He could have a better season than he did in

618
00:28:46,319 --> 00:28:52,440
twenty twenty three, possibly right in total sack count, total tackles,

619
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,319
and maybe even passes defended. But it's not like this

620
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,319
absurd number. Right, you have two remaining regular season games

621
00:29:00,359 --> 00:29:03,119
and then a bowl game that's guaranteed to you. He's

622
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:05,200
pretty much on track and what he's done all all

623
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,119
of his career when healthy, the six foot four to

624
00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:12,319
three hundred pounds junior at a mission Ville, California is

625
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,599
doing what he's done for most of his career. I

626
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:21,000
think what BYU fans struggle with is a couple of things.

627
00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 2: Number One, they saw the Utah game.

628
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: They're like, oh my gosh, he was just in the

629
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,799
backfield the entire game and he BONDI slamed Jake Retslov

630
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,359
and we couldn't block them, which is true, and they.

631
00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:32,839
Speaker 2: Expect that every single game.

632
00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:35,279
Speaker 1: I think it's hard to do that all the time

633
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:37,319
because typically you're double teamed and maybe you got more

634
00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:42,519
single coverage than you typically get I don't know, I

635
00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:44,359
have to go back and watch tape again. I can't

636
00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:46,680
remember how often they were chipping them, double teaming them.

637
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,359
And they may have lined them up more so in

638
00:29:48,359 --> 00:29:50,440
at three Tech in that particular game in order to

639
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,000
be more disruptive three Tech maybe Elijah for more one

640
00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:53,839
on ones.

641
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 2: On the interior defensive line.

642
00:29:56,519 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: There's a number of things that can contribute to impactful,

643
00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:04,440
penetrative rushing. Uh, whether it's in the run game or

644
00:30:04,519 --> 00:30:10,559
in the past rush game. But you know, like I

645
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,440
understand the criticism that has come, you know, and it's

646
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:14,519
not been vocal criticism.

647
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,359
Speaker 2: This is more like behind closed doors, like, hey, is

648
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,319
he is he as good is that we thought he was?

649
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:23,920
Has he been a bat? He's been a badful guys?

650
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,519
Speaker 1: Like he's been He's been taking up guys, right, So, like,

651
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,960
why did the media earlier this week ask Jay Hill?

652
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,519
Has Keanu lived up to the expectation? So you got

653
00:30:38,519 --> 00:30:41,039
to take all this into account. Remember Keanu was asked

654
00:30:41,079 --> 00:30:44,160
a few questions in the post game too. And and

655
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,480
Ronald's been rolling through and I can't remember which ones

656
00:30:46,519 --> 00:30:47,839
these are, tell me which number it is?

657
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:48,279
Speaker 2: Ronnie?

658
00:30:49,559 --> 00:30:54,279
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I asked Keanu number ten, Do you feel

659
00:30:54,279 --> 00:30:56,200
like you had your best game of the season?

660
00:30:56,279 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 2: Keanu, I think so.

661
00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:01,759
Speaker 11: I think I gave more effort this game than I

662
00:31:01,839 --> 00:31:05,160
than I have And I think that started with practice

663
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,160
a little bit more of a wake up call because

664
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,000
I think we have been doing great, but we just

665
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,680
want to be even better. And so it's it's doubling

666
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,839
down on our fundamentals. And I felt I did that

667
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,799
this week as well as the rest of our defense

668
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,839
and our team, and it showed.

669
00:31:20,039 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: So so that's maybe one of the base lines of this.

670
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,559
So you have kind of this underlying question mark, has

671
00:31:27,599 --> 00:31:32,160
he met the expectation that you had as a fan,

672
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,119
as a media member, as a as a as a

673
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,680
donor whatever, as a coach, whatever it may be, right,

674
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:40,880
And and Keanu kind of says, well, and let's let's

675
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,319
play I don't know what he says in number eight, right,

676
00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:46,319
Let's play number eight real quick too, because try to

677
00:31:46,359 --> 00:31:50,640
take it all in here and read between the lines,

678
00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:53,759
if you will, with Keanu's ability in this last game,

679
00:31:54,119 --> 00:31:57,640
what he produced Keanu number eight, Keanu, you had your

680
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,599
best You had a really nice bull rush walk back

681
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,200
quarterback kid, What is the key to executing that.

682
00:32:04,119 --> 00:32:05,039
Speaker 2: I think it's just effort.

683
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,319
Speaker 11: You can have coaches teach you one hundred moves and

684
00:32:08,359 --> 00:32:10,839
you can master one move. Ultimately, you just have to

685
00:32:10,839 --> 00:32:13,640
have effort and commitment to do that. And I think

686
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,160
I've I've recognized that I got to have more of that,

687
00:32:17,359 --> 00:32:20,440
and I had that tonight and I plan on magnifying

688
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,920
that and continue it throughout the rest of the season.

689
00:32:24,079 --> 00:32:24,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

690
00:32:25,319 --> 00:32:33,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, so effort, right, He's he's mentioned effort twice. Effort twice.

691
00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:35,960
Let's get to number one too. So let's let's kind

692
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,599
of just roll through these and then we'll play Jay

693
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:38,559
Hill on the back end.

694
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,079
Speaker 2: Let's do number one here like that's what.

695
00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: So you have like this undercurrent and then you have

696
00:32:45,079 --> 00:32:48,519
Keanus saying I haven't put forth my best effort. Okay,

697
00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:51,720
does that make sense? And so that we're talking about expectations. So, Keato,

698
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,279
you held this offense to one touchdown. What can you

699
00:32:54,319 --> 00:32:55,359
say about the effort?

700
00:32:56,559 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 11: I think it was diligence and discipline of the defense

701
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:02,559
to do such a thing. I think that's our capacity

702
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:05,319
and that's who we are, and I think we stuck

703
00:33:05,319 --> 00:33:07,319
to that this week. I think that's the key is

704
00:33:07,359 --> 00:33:09,559
sticking to that and being disciplined to who we are,

705
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,359
and you guys saw it tonight. I mean, we did

706
00:33:12,359 --> 00:33:14,799
that and that's the result when we be us.

707
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that kind of encompasses a little bit of

708
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,000
the catalyst behind that question of meeting the expectation and

709
00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:27,920
then finally going to Jay Hill, right, with all that

710
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,680
being said, with all that foundation being being laid, Jay

711
00:33:32,759 --> 00:33:34,200
Hill was asked.

712
00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:41,279
Speaker 2: What number is this? Number four? Yet high expectations for

713
00:33:41,359 --> 00:33:43,960
Keanu when you brought him in here. Has you lived

714
00:33:44,039 --> 00:33:46,359
up to that? This is jays Hill's comments.

715
00:33:46,319 --> 00:33:48,079
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's absolutely lived up to it.

716
00:33:48,119 --> 00:33:51,519
Speaker 4: I mean, in our defense, you want a stud inside

717
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:53,680
that can take on a double team, that can be physical,

718
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,319
that can knock things back. And I really think the

719
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,519
last couple of weeks he's really shown that. You know,

720
00:33:59,519 --> 00:34:03,079
it's always new going into a new program and techniques

721
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,400
and schemes and all that stuff, but I think he's

722
00:34:05,759 --> 00:34:09,639
settled in very well and he's definitely a dominant force

723
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:10,320
in the defense.

724
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: So I guess read between the lines, take it all

725
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,280
in and kind of understand. Look, Keanu says, I can

726
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,639
put forth a better effort, I can have a higher motor,

727
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,800
I can give better execution, I can have better buy in,

728
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,079
but also realize he's a defensive tackle on the interier,

729
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,599
always getting double team and statistically speaking, over his career,

730
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,400
he's doing exactly what he's done his entire career.

731
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 2: Right, Does that make sense?

732
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,119
Speaker 1: Like, like that's that's who he is, That's who It's

733
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:39,559
like he's he doesn't have eight sacks on the season, Okay,

734
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:43,039
he never does. Like his largest sack total in his

735
00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:46,559
career is two prior to arriving at bou Where's he

736
00:34:46,559 --> 00:34:49,199
at now two with three games remaining?

737
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:50,639
Speaker 2: Does that make sense?

738
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 10: So?

739
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean, so like take it all in, understand, kind

740
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,840
of internalize that. As a Byu fan, I understand what

741
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,440
you want, what you maybe expected, and and maybe like

742
00:35:03,519 --> 00:35:06,880
he hasn't done that necessarily, but a lot of a

743
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,440
lot of these things are contributing that.

744
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 2: Our contributing factors.

745
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:14,599
Speaker 1: Are how they block him, how often by He's gonna

746
00:35:14,599 --> 00:35:17,119
put him at like a three tack or a one tech.

747
00:35:17,679 --> 00:35:21,159
Does he get single coverage or double team typically because

748
00:35:21,159 --> 00:35:22,719
of how big and strong he is, He's getting the

749
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,320
double team rather than John temby Payo.

750
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:27,079
Speaker 2: Is what it is?

751
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,559
Speaker 5: So anyway, I mean, just think of the impact. Venezuela

752
00:35:30,679 --> 00:35:33,159
jump in here. Look, he wasn't healthy last season and

753
00:35:33,159 --> 00:35:35,679
he's healthy. I mean, how many sacks and this one

754
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,079
you and I might have to go back and look

755
00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:38,440
at the tape, but I'm pretty sure you might know

756
00:35:38,519 --> 00:35:40,960
better than me. How many sacks is Bay you've been

757
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,719
a benefited from? Or go back to the beginning of

758
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,920
the season when I remember Hunter Klegg and Logan Lituy

759
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,760
almost getting to the cornerback or being allowed to make

760
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,840
plays because Keimu's taking up a double.

761
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 1: Teamy sow Celia News get single coverage all day absolutely,

762
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,239
I mean they're getting single coverage all.

763
00:35:56,199 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 2: Day off the edge.

764
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,599
Speaker 6: They're starting to beat their guys.

765
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 2: Body Logan single cover off the edge.

766
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: Why because and John Adisi's been good at times, others

767
00:36:07,639 --> 00:36:08,599
they've been really good.

768
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,079
Speaker 5: They good then, I mean, if you want to know,

769
00:36:11,159 --> 00:36:12,760
if you really want to know, how about this, I'll

770
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,119
hit you with something that we discussed a few weeks ago.

771
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,280
You lose that Iowa State game if it's not for

772
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,719
Keanu Tonavasa. He tipped the ball to Logan that started

773
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,079
the momentum shift, like that ball was going there and

774
00:36:23,079 --> 00:36:25,159
he puts that big old Paul you know, I have

775
00:36:25,159 --> 00:36:27,360
a little hands. So that big old bear Paul up there,

776
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:29,599
it gets tipped, which shout out to Jay Drew that

777
00:36:29,639 --> 00:36:32,119
said they said that in the press box it was tipped.

778
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,000
Logan intercepts it and then what is what is to do?

779
00:36:35,039 --> 00:36:37,039
Ben able to go down, take all the momentum and

780
00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:39,760
they ever look back since then. So yeah, sure, do

781
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,960
the sacks not show up? Like you know, John Harry

782
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,119
daily hurts my heart.

783
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:46,159
Speaker 6: You love to have him. But there's still other things.

784
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,559
Speaker 5: That a guy does to affect the game. It's like basketball.

785
00:36:48,599 --> 00:36:50,079
People probably hate that I bring this up. You don't

786
00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:52,000
have to shoot threes always to be effective. You can

787
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,400
play defense, you can hit free throws. There are other

788
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,159
things that you can do. And Keanu, to me, is

789
00:36:56,199 --> 00:36:59,639
doing the nitty gritty things that matter, and he's allowing

790
00:36:59,639 --> 00:37:02,519
this team mates to be very, very successful. And I

791
00:37:02,519 --> 00:37:04,840
think sometimes people overlook that. They want to see that

792
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,599
and look, six seven, eight sacks by your best defensive

793
00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:09,760
player is nice, but sometimes you just need them, as

794
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,519
Kalani would say, to do their one eleventh. Just do

795
00:37:12,599 --> 00:37:15,400
their job and take up blocks, and you know everybody

796
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,719
else will shine. And you're starting to see that down

797
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,519
here down the stretch, and I think it's just stay

798
00:37:19,559 --> 00:37:21,880
that way. Do you want to see Keanu get a sack, Yeah,

799
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,920
that'd be nice in the Cincinnati game. But I'd rather

800
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,360
see him take his guy bull rush him and push

801
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,840
him back and be dominant and allow the guys around

802
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,360
him to make plays and have complimentary football that way.

803
00:37:31,519 --> 00:37:33,440
Then just have one single guy stand out, and then

804
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,119
you're not getting home to the quarterback guys.

805
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,599
Speaker 2: Rubys in rubies in dot com.

806
00:37:38,639 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: Head on over to rubisn dot com forwards last night

807
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,480
sixty you get twenty percent off your stay at Bryce

808
00:37:44,519 --> 00:37:46,920
Canyon National Park, the Wonder of the West, where you

809
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,760
can hike, bike, razor horseback ride through them hoodoos of

810
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,639
Bryce Canyon. Look, there's only one thing I love more

811
00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:58,000
than a Kiata Tonavasa bull rush walk back quarterback hit.

812
00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:02,119
That's staying at Ruby's In and right at the aperture,

813
00:38:02,159 --> 00:38:05,679
right at the opening of Bryce Canyon National Park. It's

814
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,199
a glorious place. I think you'll love it. Make members

815
00:38:08,199 --> 00:38:11,800
with friends and family members at Ruby's In. It's cheaper

816
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,880
than going to the Mouse, I can tell you that much.

817
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,920
Go and snowshoot and weave your way through them hoodoos.

818
00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:21,519
I think you'll be impressed with the iconic, picturesque backdrop

819
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,440
and the canyons that make this place so unique and singular.

820
00:38:26,519 --> 00:38:29,000
For the beauty of the earth is the hymn. And

821
00:38:29,079 --> 00:38:31,320
so go and rejoice in that at Ruby's Inn in

822
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,480
Bryce Canyon. Let's go to break, don't go anywhere more

823
00:38:34,519 --> 00:38:37,639
to get to on a beautiful Wednesday edition of Cougar Sports.

824
00:38:37,679 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 2: Here on one of three nine ninety eight point three

825

834
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,639
of BYU Sports and discussed the SoundBite from Rick new

835
00:39:08,639 --> 00:39:11,840
Weeisel a part of the College Football.

836
00:39:13,199 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 2: I Guess COLLG Football Rankings, COLLG Football.

837
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: Playoff Committee show and he and his cohorts were debating Byu.

838
00:39:22,599 --> 00:39:26,480
Some of them like BYU, others some of them like boy,

839
00:39:26,599 --> 00:39:30,920
some of them don't. Right, and Rick neuheisl okay, who

840
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:36,280
has played against Byu? Okay, he knows what BYU's all about.

841
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,400
In his head coaching career, I think most recently. I

842
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,079
mean he was at when he was at UCLA from

843
00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:46,239
two thousand and eight to twenty eleven. I think in

844
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,880
his first year at UCLA he got destroyed at Lavell

845
00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:53,960
Edwards Stadium. I mean that was a fifty nine to

846
00:39:54,039 --> 00:39:59,039
zero smashing of his bruins in his first season as

847
00:39:59,079 --> 00:40:01,719
head coach at ucl You know, in the eighties and

848
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,880
early nineties, he was there as a GA quarterbacks coach

849
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,679
and a wide receiver, but eventually got the head coaching

850
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,960
job at UCLA from two thousand and eight to twenty eleven.

851
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,280
But he's been a college football ANLUS now for a

852
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:17,400
long time, made his move to the television room, and

853
00:40:17,639 --> 00:40:20,280
he's been commenting on college football for a long time.

854
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:20,519
Speaker 3: Now.

855
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: Let's listen in as he discusses what it means if

856
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,719
BYU is a one lost team, And I think what

857
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,559
he's getting at here, he's saying BYU wins out in

858
00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:34,000
the regular season and gets to the Big Twelve Championship.

859
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,800
I don't think he's saying, like BYU wins the Big

860
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,119
Twelve Championship game, obviously that would be an auto bid

861
00:40:39,199 --> 00:40:40,519
unless he's unaware of that.

862
00:40:40,639 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 2: I think he's aware of that.

863
00:40:42,159 --> 00:40:45,679
Speaker 1: I think he's saying BYU deserves to be in the

864
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,559
college football playoff if they went out get to the

865
00:40:49,639 --> 00:40:52,320
Big twelve Championship game and actually lose to Texas Tech.

866
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,280
Let's tune in as he pontificates regarding these BYU Cougar

867
00:40:56,519 --> 00:40:58,360
football players and football coaches.

868
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 12: What Bosh and this BYU team got off the mat

869
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,880
after being humiliated in Lobbock and I was.

870
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,119
Speaker 2: Telling them to put my pickup there. BYU.

871
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,639
Speaker 12: That is exactly what I was wanting to see. How

872
00:41:12,679 --> 00:41:17,079
will this team respond, especially a young quarterback, respond after

873
00:41:17,119 --> 00:41:18,320
that kind of setback?

874
00:41:18,559 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 2: And they were brilliant.

875
00:41:19,639 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 12: I mean they absolutely wiped the floor with TCU. TCU

876
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,480
would didn't belong in the ballgame. And and really on

877
00:41:25,559 --> 00:41:29,639
both sides, you said byp on defense, Josh Huber didn't

878
00:41:29,639 --> 00:41:32,800
think so. Josh Hubert was struggling in that particular game.

879
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,760
Based on the stats that he had previously a massed

880
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,559
over the course of the season. I think BYU is

881
00:41:38,599 --> 00:41:43,840
a sleeping really good team, and I think this giant

882
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,679
and I don't know giants appropriate, but I think they're

883
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:49,360
really good.

884
00:41:49,639 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 7: And I think.

885
00:41:50,199 --> 00:41:55,199
Speaker 12: Brett Yormark moreover wants this big victory by BYU so

886
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,400
that he can get a rematch of Texas Tech and

887
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,400
BYU in Arlington, and both teams can make it to

888
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,639
the CFP because if b YU, it'll be interesting where

889
00:42:03,639 --> 00:42:07,559
BYU is tonight in the rankings. If BYU is not

890
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,199
in the playoff and they run the table, there's somebody

891
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,800
needs to cry foul. I'm taking BYU.

892
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: So if they run the table in the regular season,

893
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,119
I think is what he's getting at. Then, no matter

894
00:42:21,199 --> 00:42:23,440
what happens to the conference championship game versus Texas Tech,

895
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,320
which most I mean, it's going to be Texas Tech

896
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:30,079
unless rich Rod just has a magical showing.

897
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 2: He is he is. Rich Rod's doing some work right now.

898
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,079
Speaker 1: He just picked up I think a five star offensive tackle,

899
00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:41,119
a four star offensive tackle. Pickup, really nice pickup, and

900
00:42:41,159 --> 00:42:45,639
that dad dude's stoked man Country Roads, all right, rich

901
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,079
Rod bringing it bringing it back. He said, give me,

902
00:42:48,119 --> 00:42:49,599
give me three to four years. That's all he said,

903
00:42:49,639 --> 00:42:52,199
give me three four years. Will turn this this ship

904
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:56,320
around anyway? By the way, this segment brought to you

dot com. But what I think Rick is saying here

912
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,280
is if BYU gets to that Big Towal Championship game undefeated,

913
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,320
like then it doesn't matter what happens in the Big

914
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,079
Towl Championship Game. You lose to Texas Tech, which is

915
00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:26,159
a top five team in college football, twice one on

916
00:43:26,199 --> 00:43:28,880
a neutral field, and hopefully you keep it close. Hopefully

917
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,519
it's a battle back and forth b way He deserves

918
00:43:32,519 --> 00:43:33,760
to be in the Collgs football Playoff.

919
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,039
Speaker 2: No, his answer much about it.

920
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: You need Oklahoma, you need Notre Dame, you need one

921
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,280
of those teams right.

922
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 2: To probably lose.

923
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,559
Speaker 1: You need a little bit of college football cannibalism here

924
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,079
in front of you. That's ideal. That would be glorious,

925
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,639
that would be great. If you're looking at it's the eight, nine,

926
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,880
ten spots, right that's what you're looking at right now.

927
00:43:59,639 --> 00:44:05,360
You need Oklahoma, Alabama.

928
00:44:05,519 --> 00:44:06,119
Speaker 2: Notre Dame.

929
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 1: Those are the three teams that you're looking at on

930
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,199
the back end of the season. Notre Dame's gotta lose

931
00:44:11,199 --> 00:44:16,079
to Syracuse, Oklahoma has to lose to Miszoo or LSU

932
00:44:16,119 --> 00:44:19,000
that would knock him out of the top ten. And

933
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,800
then Alabama could lose to Auburn the Iron Bowl to

934
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:28,719
end the season. Those are the opportunities, Okay, to make

935
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:33,559
sure you solidify yourself as a two loss team. You know, look,

936
00:44:33,599 --> 00:44:35,639
a miracle could happen. You can beat Texas Tech on

937
00:44:35,679 --> 00:44:39,239
a neutral field. I never doubt Jay Hill with a

938
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,760
little extra prep and a Rod's.

939
00:44:41,519 --> 00:44:42,639
Speaker 2: Definitely learned his lesson.

940
00:44:43,199 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: I think after that Texas Tech game, so I think

941
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,360
his game plan will be better. I think he's gonna

942
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,159
go in with more faith rather than fear. You've heard

943
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:53,320
Killane State in the postgame comments and in his media availability.

944
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,079
You got to unleash bear, let him, let him, let

945
00:44:56,119 --> 00:44:59,599
him throw don't just protect him, don't overprotect him. He

946
00:44:59,679 --> 00:45:02,519
can he can win football games with his legs and

947
00:45:02,559 --> 00:45:06,840
his arm. That's our segment, guys, also brought to you
