CBS sports representative. We got Shahan Jaya Raja on the last. Shahan,

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:17,359
how are you.

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,159
Speaker 2: I'm doing great. Thanks much for having me.

27
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:24,439
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure, always a blessing. You decided to get

28
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:27,400
to know Bear Bachmeier a little bit better. You pen

29
00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:33,319
to peace recently they get dropped yesterday. Now, uh but

30
00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:36,599
uh you know, Sean, give me your your your the woes,

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,159
the catalyst behind delving into who Bear Bachmeyer is and

32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,799
what sets him apart from everybody.

33
00:01:43,239 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: Well, I actually told Tiger this. I've been fascinated with

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,000
the Bachmeyer family for years at this point, actually ever

35
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:54,239
since Hank Bachmeyer was starring at Boise States one. I mean,

36
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,599
obviously you see the names and it's just pretty incredible.

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,239
The other thing too, I mean, you know, for me,

38
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:02,560
I always notice whenever there's some great young Asian American

39
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:06,120
athletes coming up, but especially when Bear came to the

40
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:08,960
limelight when he had his moments, and with the way

41
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,120
that he's led BYU football in twenty twenty five, I

42
00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:13,879
knew that this was the perfect time and I really

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,439
wanted to get to know all of them better.

44
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: I love it. Man. Well, so Bear has been an

45
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:24,439
intriguing guy for a while now this season, but only

46
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,599
recently have people really started to notice what he's doing

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,199
and how he's doing it. At what moment did you

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,080
kind of say, you know what, this Bear Bachmeyer's becoming

49
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,159
the real deal. I got to watch him more closely.

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: Well, I think for me, you know, and I said

51
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,039
this a little bit before the season, I felt like

52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,840
the biggest thing that BYU needed from the quarterback position

53
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,120
to be a Big twelve contender with playmaking. I know

54
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,520
what the rest of this offense is. I know what LJ.

55
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,120
Martin is, I know what Chase Roberts in that receiver

56
00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:57,759
room is. But I think that kind of that final

57
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,719
piece that Jake Reresov gave this team last year was

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,400
that dynamic play was the ability to go down and

59
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:07,000
make big time plays and big time moments. And I

60
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:09,039
think that for me, when they decided to go with

61
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,919
Bear Backmeyer over the alternatives that quarterback that really intrigued me.

62
00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:15,879
It's said a lot about one what they felt that

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,719
his floor was, but to what they also felt that

64
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,479
his ceiling was. And I think they've done a tremendous

65
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,840
job of bringing him along slowly through a pretty manageable

66
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:28,000
schedule early on. And I think that it was really

67
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:31,879
maybe that Arizona game into the Utah game, of course,

68
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,680
that was when I felt like, Oh, this is serious,

69
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:37,800
this is serious business. There really has the chance to

70
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:38,719
be something special.

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,199
Speaker 1: The piece is entitled Forged and Organized Chaos. I love

72
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,000
that bou quarterback Beart Bachmeyer prepares to take challenge to

73
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,439
take college football's biggest stage. So in this process, you know,

74
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:56,080
who is it that you learned? Who is Bear Bachmeyer?

75
00:03:56,719 --> 00:03:58,800
How did he get to be yu, why is he

76
00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:02,319
in provo? And where did he come from this organized

77
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,520
chaos in which you speak of.

78
00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:08,319
Speaker 2: Well, so when I talk about organized chaos, I mean

79
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:11,919
I had all three of the brothers that I talked to, Hank,

80
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,319
Bear and Tiger also at different points our dad is crazy.

81
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,279
And what they meant by that is he had a

82
00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:22,240
plan very early on in their lives where he wanted

83
00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:27,160
to essentially turn them into this great athletic family. Now, look,

84
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,160
was he expecting that all three were going to have

85
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:31,439
a chance played major college football. I don't know about that,

86
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,120
but he wanted to give them the best chance possible.

87
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:38,519
And so I think that what Bear had and you know,

88
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,040
the really unique advantage that he had is he had

89
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,360
two brothers who were older than him, who got to

90
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:47,920
go through the process before him. And you know, with Hank,

91
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,040
one thing that he really learned was he specialized in

92
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,120
playing quarterback really early. Well, Hank kind of suggested his dad,

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,399
look there, maybe we don't do that. Maybe we let

94
00:04:57,439 --> 00:05:00,800
him kind of diversify play different positions, different sports in

95
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,360
a different way. With Tiger, I mean, you know, Tiger

96
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,319
is an incredible, you know, academic. He is somebody who

97
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,959
graduated in two and a half years from Stanford in

98
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
computer science, which is no small seat. And I think

99
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,279
that from Tiger he really kind of learned how to

100
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:18,920
handle himself in the classroom in a different kind of way.

101
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:21,279
And I think that now when you look at him

102
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,800
right now. And also, by the way, I'd be remissed

103
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,079
out to mention his sister, Ella, who was a D

104
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:29,000
three All American in the heptathlon at the University of

105
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,720
the Redlands. So, like you know, he just has so

106
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,240
many influences, so many people in his life who have

107
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:37,079
shaped who he is. And again when I when I

108
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,240
talk about the organized chaos that came out, I mean

109
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,040
they were every single weekend, every kid was playing multiple sports.

110
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,879
His mom had to be basically at four places at

111
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,279
once every single Saturday, and they just found a way

112
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:50,160
to make it work. And I think that when you

113
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:53,920
look at Bear Bachmeier, that's why he is so I

114
00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:56,600
think well grounded is because of the support that he had,

115
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,519
and also why he's able to handle all the casts

116
00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:01,759
around him is because that's what his family has trained

117
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,199
him to do.

118
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,879
Speaker 1: If he has a big game this week, Let's say

119
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:10,279
BYU doesn't even win the game, but it's close, right,

120
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,360
is there enough buzz to put him into the Heisman

121
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,959
Trophy at least conversation right now? I mean, if he wins,

122
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,079
and he wins in a way that's maybe a kin

123
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,040
or similar to what he did versus Utah or what

124
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:27,519
he did versus Iowa State, I'd imagine that could put

125
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,360
him into at least a top five conversation. I don't know.

126
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,199
For some they believe that that could be a possibility.

127
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,639
Speaker 2: So here's the one thing that I'll say about getting

128
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,519
into that tier is that because they brought him along

129
00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:45,240
a little slower, his numbers are a little more modest

130
00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:49,360
compared to some other contenders. But there's still four or

131
00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:51,759
five games left to go. Of course, he has this

132
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,360
big time matchup against Texas. Like you look at also

133
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,319
what he did in his last three games. I mean's

134
00:06:57,319 --> 00:07:00,360
scoring eight touchdowns over his last three games, of them

135
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,839
come from behind victories, So like he has had the impact.

136
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,120
There's no doubt about it. I think for him it's

137
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,399
going to be in these last four or five games,

138
00:07:08,399 --> 00:07:12,399
including let's say a Big twelve title game. I think

139
00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:14,399
that you need to start putting up sort of big

140
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:16,639
time numbers, you know, be putting up three hundred and

141
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,879
fifty yards and four touchdowns and be pushing four hundred yards.

142
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,879
That's the one piece that I think is going to

143
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:24,319
be difficult for him to make up. And again, I

144
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,319
mean when you look at the way that BYU plays

145
00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:30,279
and the way that they structure their offense under Kaloney Sataki,

146
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,160
it's hard in some ways to just stand apart statistically

147
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,920
because they want to be balanced. But again, I think

148
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,319
that this is going to be an introductory moment to

149
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:43,279
the country for bear Bachmeyer one way or another. And

150
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:46,000
I'd also encourage BYU fans to take the long approach

151
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,120
of some of this too, right, like I as somebody

152
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,240
who is of course outside of the state of Utah.

153
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:52,360
I mean, I remember the first glimpses that we saw

154
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,439
of Zach Wilson and thinking, oh, this is a really

155
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,399
fun player. I'm excited to keep an eye on him. Well,

156
00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:00,000
bear Backmeyer's got at least two more years of eligibility

157
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,600
as well, so he doesn't have to win the Heisman

158
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,199
this year for it to be a success.

159
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: Shay and Ja rajis CBA Sports College football insider breaking

160
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:11,519
down his most recent article of bear Bachmeer's family, the

161
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:17,480
organized chaos from which he sprang forth and became a

162
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,480
big time college football player. How do you see this

163
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,240
BYU Texas Tech game right now? Shahan?

164
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one is going to be so much fun.

165
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,759
And I think that in this matchup, the defenses are

166
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,920
really going to cease. I think that for Texas Tech,

167
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,799
this is the best defensive line, certainly in the Big twelve,

168
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,080
maybe in college football. They've got a linebacking corps that's

169
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,480
really really competitive, is always in the right place, makes

170
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,679
big time plays. But the same goes for BYU. I mean,

171
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,480
you've looked at the way that this defensive line has

172
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:50,240
come together. I think that the linebacker due of Isaiah

173
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:53,240
Glaster and Jack Kelly, is I would argue the best

174
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,080
in the country right now. I mean, they are just

175
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,919
unbelievably good. And so I think the question is going

176
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,960
to become which of these two off sentences can create

177
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,480
more opportunities outside and downfield in the passing game. Now,

178
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,600
I know from a personnel perspective and a talent perspective,

179
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,840
both of them are capable of it, right I mean

180
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,639
you talk about the level of receiver plays that BYU

181
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,360
and text Tech bring to the table, it might be,

182
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,639
you know, outside of the linebackers and defensive line respectively,

183
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,399
like this is probably the strongest unit is their wide

184
00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:26,240
receiver core on both teams. But you know it's also

185
00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:28,080
going to be okay, who can extend plays like I

186
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,519
give their blockfire and edge an extending place, who can

187
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,000
make quick decisions and get the ball down the field.

188
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,480
I if Baron Morton a little bit of an edge

189
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,000
in that. So this will really be a chess game

190
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,720
that I think comes down to the very end, and

191
00:09:38,759 --> 00:09:41,799
I frankly expect a pretty low scoring game overall.

192
00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: Schehan, this is a it's a great matchup in a

193
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,240
number of ways. Game Day will be there all eyes

194
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:53,000
on the Big Twelve. What branding opportunities are there, what

195
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,159
imaging opportunities like, what public relations opportunities do we have

196
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,519
here with the Big Twelve being featured this week?

197
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: Well, I think the most important thing to come from

198
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,759
this game is you want people to watch this game

199
00:10:06,799 --> 00:10:10,080
and come away thinking, Wow, these are two really good

200
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,440
football teams and maybe one is better than the other

201
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,120
after the game, but like one, it's not by much,

202
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,320
and two the other one would still be able to

203
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,360
contend with anybody in the country. I think that while

204
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,120
obviously Tech Tech pulled away at the end, I think

205
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,879
that that was the takeaway for a lot of people

206
00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:27,039
from Textex win over Utah. I think it was in

207
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,480
a lot of ways to takeaway for BYU against Utah.

208
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,000
But I think that Tech Tech versus BYU is another

209
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,080
level of that. Right, You're talking about two top eight

210
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,720
teams by far, the best ranked matchup of the weekend

211
00:10:39,759 --> 00:10:43,480
between number seven and number eight, big time playmakers, future

212
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,039
NFL players, rising stars in college football, like you just

213
00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:50,399
wanted to live up to that. And I think that

214
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,440
when people turn on the TV, I think that people

215
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,960
are going to be very impressed by how well both

216
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,840
these teams dandlest moment and just to speak by the

217
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,559
way to BYU specifically for a second. I mean there's

218
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,960
a lot of people who I think I think that

219
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:06,519
BYU is a little undervalued right now because I think

220
00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:09,519
that people look at some of these analytic numbers that

221
00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:12,840
you know, I think represent in some ways that BYU

222
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,879
started the season a little slower because they wanted to

223
00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:18,639
bring along their quarterbacks slowly. I think that people are

224
00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:21,720
going to be really impressed by what they see from BYU.

225
00:11:22,039 --> 00:11:24,679
And I think more than anything else, people are gonna

226
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,200
come away thinking, oh, these two teams deserve to be

227
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,120
in the college football playoffs. Yeah.

228
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,879
Speaker 3: Speaking of like a bear backer, I want to talk

229
00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:40,159
about the matchup of Bear Bachmeyer versus this Texas Tech defense.

230
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,000
Bear bachmeers maybe a different kind of dual threat quarterback

231
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,320
than we normally see. He's maybe not as fast as

232
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,200
they normally are, he still got good speed, but it's

233
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,759
mainly his size ability to run over people that stands

234
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:56,279
out to me run through tackles. Is there any aspect

235
00:11:56,519 --> 00:12:00,399
to bear Bachmeyer's game that might give him any sort

236
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,639
of advantage over a very tough Texas Tech defense.

237
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know, I think that we can

238
00:12:06,919 --> 00:12:10,039
put it pretty simply right there. Buck Meyer plays quarterback

239
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,399
like he wears number forty seven, and I think that

240
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,919
he lives up to that in so many ways. But

241
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,759
you know, it's gonna be interesting, right because we haven't

242
00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:20,960
seen outside of that Utah game there have to take

243
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,600
on a huge rushing load when it comes to, you know,

244
00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:27,559
having to take on a lot of contact. That's what

245
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,960
I'm gonna be curious about most is. Look, Texas Tech

246
00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:34,879
is without one of their top defensive Linemans Skyler McGill Howard.

247
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,399
He's out for the season or at least for the

248
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,519
regular season with a lower body injury. And Lee Hunter

249
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,600
is was a mid season All American for US. But

250
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,000
is there able to withstand some of that he is

251
00:12:47,039 --> 00:12:49,799
he able to keep the chains moving? That's something that

252
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,000
I think will be critical. I said it actually I

253
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:55,039
believe on this program over the offseason, the thing that

254
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,120
worried me the most about losing Jake Restlof is so

255
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,480
much of the time he was the guy who just

256
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,679
found away on third and two. Well, I think that

257
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,840
bere Bockmeier is that kind of runner. The flip side

258
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,000
of that, too, is how does he handle this level

259
00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:10,279
of physicality. He's never had to deal with it to

260
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,120
the level that he's going to have to against Texas Tech,

261
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,440
against the level of talent that tex Tech brings to

262
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,799
the table, against edge rushers by the way, like Romelo Heighten,

263
00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:21,320
David Baily. So I think that there's a lot of

264
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,240
unknowns when it comes to knowing how he's going to

265
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,720
handle that moment, but I do know he's going to

266
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,080
be up for the challenge.

267
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: What's interesting about this matchup you recently wrote this piece

268
00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:37,840
on Bear. I remember chatting with you at Big twelve

269
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:43,559
media days about Texas Tech and your pin tweet right

270
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,720
now is the story that you wrote about Texas Tech

271
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,639
and the new t Boom pickens of Tech, Cody Campbell,

272
00:13:51,519 --> 00:13:56,480
his billions of billions of dollars, his black gold money,

273
00:13:56,879 --> 00:14:00,759
the billions of dollars they've been flowing through this Texas

274
00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:06,000
Tech program, and it seems like these two teams, these

275
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,799
two programs, these two brands BYU with their tech money

276
00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:15,320
and Texas Tech with their black Gold money, they may

277
00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:18,399
be the premiere brands of the Big twelve moving forward

278
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,360
and the Brett your Mark era, your thoughts.

279
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: I think that they're off to a really good start

280
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,559
from that perspective. I'll tell you anybody who's had to

281
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,559
recruit against the Big twelve teams right now, they know, like,

282
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:33,200
these are the two teams right now that are causing

283
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,279
people a lot of conniptions. And there are other teams

284
00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:38,600
certainly that I think have the ability to get into

285
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:41,279
the mix. But I think that BYU and Texas Tech,

286
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,960
what they share is their aggressiveness and their forward thinkingness.

287
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,320
I guess you could call it. They have been ahead

288
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,000
of the curve. They've been very structured, They've planned things

289
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:55,240
out very well. I think that they also have recruiting

290
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,679
strategies that they really do a good job of sticking to.

291
00:14:58,879 --> 00:15:01,879
With Texas Tech, I mean, they put all of their

292
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,360
finances into the trenches, right I think for BYU it's

293
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,480
being really targeted and doing a good job of finding

294
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,960
developmental prospects that stick around and become great players. So like,

295
00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:15,080
I think that both of them have done a really

296
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,159
good job of building their respective identities and by the way,

297
00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:23,000
I think that both of those programs can can. They

298
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,399
owe a lot of that, yes, of course to the

299
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:26,240
money that's coming in, but I think also to their

300
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,159
head coaches, who set the tone for what each of

301
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,679
these teams wants to be and needs to be in

302
00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:34,240
order to win in college football. So I think that

303
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,399
both of them are off to a really hot start

304
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,840
right now, and again even when you start talking about

305
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,879
some of the other top contenders in the Big Twelve

306
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,440
in terms of competing with them from a monetary perspective, Like,

307
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,879
you know, I think that Baylor has a lot of upside,

308
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:48,919
but their coach is on the hot seat right now.

309
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,039
I think that you know, Utah obviously is one of

310
00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:54,360
those programs. You know, we don't know how long how

311
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:55,600
winning hand's going to keep doing this.

312
00:15:55,759 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: Well.

313
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,759
Speaker 2: With BYU and Texas Tech, you are basically looking at

314
00:15:59,799 --> 00:16:02,320
what they're going to be for the next decade and

315
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,320
almost nothing i'd think is going to change that.

316
00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:09,159
Speaker 1: Cheyanjarajer, ladies and gentlemen, Shahan, best way to support you

the way that I get to keep doing pieces like

323
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,639
that about BYU is when people share them and read them.
