22
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,119
Speaker 4: You happy to be here? Looking forward to the weekends?

23
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,439
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, big game tomorrow BYU versus Texas Tech. But

24
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:09,359
let's start off with BYU's recruiting class.

25
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:11,159
Speaker 1: Check this out.

26
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 3: They got a lot of four stars in this class.

27
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:20,799
I count them out, Rider Lions, Bob Mulitalo, Brock Harris,

28
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:28,319
Adam Bywater, Ty Getchi, Jaron Puola, Lopetti, Moala, Kennan Puola.

29
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:34,120
That's eight four stars. And then you have two others,

30
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,840
actually three others that are right there knocking on the

31
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:41,560
door of four star and Jacks Tanner, Terrence Sarian and

32
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,560
Braxton Lindsey Kamaia Kana's right there too, and Legend Glasker.

33
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: So a lot of high level three stars as well.

34
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: So when you see the recruiting rankings, you see the

35
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:56,000
recruiting class, what do you make of all those high

36
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,599
level recruits and where BYU's going?

37
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:03,519
Speaker 4: Got me totally excited. I love hearing the number of

38
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,000
four stars. I know even Rider Lions is a border

39
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,280
line five star, but this class is exciting. I know,

40
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:12,840
as I've talked to even some of the recruits and

41
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:16,840
even their families, they're talking about this class with real

42
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:22,120
high expectations. I've even heard talk and the word national

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,840
championship floating around. I know that's a big strong word,

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,479
but I'm as excited as to be about this class.

45
00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:31,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a special class, no doubt about it, and

46
00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:38,319
obviously the headliners Writer Lions QBU Quarterback Factor. Writer Lions

47
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,360
signs with the BYU Cougars and continues down the long

48
00:02:43,439 --> 00:02:46,719
list of great quarterbacks that have come to by you

49
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:50,120
and bald out, What do you like about this class?

50
00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: Is there any players that stand out to you?

51
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:55,439
Speaker 3: Ones that you've gotten to know, Individuals that you've been

52
00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:58,240
able to watch in person or on film that you

53
00:02:58,439 --> 00:02:59,080
like the most.

54
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: I mentioned a few of them the top guys. Who

55
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,800
do you like and why?

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:04,599
Speaker 2: Well?

57
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,479
Speaker 4: And it's not because I'm real familiar with these players,

58
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,840
but some of the backgrounds of them. For example, Bywater,

59
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:16,240
we all know what his brother Ben did. I know

60
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,759
Ben is a standout class guy. His career got cut

61
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,599
a little bit short. I'm excited to see his brother.

62
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:26,639
I don't know him personally, haven't seen him play, but

63
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:30,000
just knowing his heritage and his background, it's exciting to

64
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,680
hear about him coming in. I know kaya Kana know

65
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,199
him and his family. I'm excited. I've seen what he's

66
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,680
done with Writer Lions playing together already and having some

67
00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:44,680
experience together. I'm excited about him. Glasger thinking about getting

68
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,439
another one of the Glasger family members at BYU for

69
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,240
a few more years. They all excite me. And then

70
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,800
there's a lot of guys that I don't know and

71
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,560
haven't heard much about. But when we talk about stats,

72
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,840
they are four star ratings, the three star ratings. It

73
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:03,479
seems like a wonderful group in an awesome recruiting class.

74
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: Blaine, we talk a lot about stats football stats here.

75
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,319
B YU is a twelve and a half point dog. Okay,

76
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:16,160
they're twelve and a half point dog. But they're number

77
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:21,399
six in the country at covering. Okay, so they're they're

78
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:24,800
like nine and three against the spread. So Vegas has

79
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:28,240
not you know, got them just dialed in just yet.

80
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,160
They're one of the best in college football at covering

81
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,519
and winning.

82
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: Football games this season.

83
00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: What do you think is going to be different this

84
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,279
go around than than what occurred in love Itck? What

85
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,800
makes you believe that, baby, maybe b way you can

86
00:04:43,399 --> 00:04:44,920
not only covered but get a win.

87
00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:47,079
Speaker 1: Well.

88
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 4: One thing that stands out to me is our coaching

89
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,360
staff and seeing what we've done in the second half

90
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:55,319
versus the first half. It seems like we make good adjustments,

91
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,759
We are able to customize the game plan happening, so

92
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,439
I love that we get a second crack at these guys.

93
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,279
I really do think that we're going to play a

94
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:08,920
much tougher We'll have more fans support than we did

95
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:11,120
in Loveick, certainly in Dallas. I've already talked to a

96
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,199
lot of friends and family and colleagues that are already

97
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:15,920
making their way out for the game, so I know

98
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,079
we're going to have much better representation. And talking to

99
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:21,720
some of the players, they talked about the win and

100
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:23,839
the fans and love it and how that did affect

101
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,160
the game a little bit. So when we think about

102
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,800
the adjustments we can make the second time around, having

103
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,920
more support, our guys are playing with a ton of

104
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,560
enthusiasm right now and excitement. I'm expecting a much closer game.

105
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:39,680
We've been tracking Vegas and their spread for the last

106
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,319
couple of years. I know last year by U was

107
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,600
able to overcome the odds a number of times, so

108
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,120
I'm not putting much credibility into what Vegas is saying.

109
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,079
I like our chances and whether it's one point or

110
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,360
three points, of course, I'm taking the codes in this

111
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,839
matchup and can't wait to see the game.

112
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: No doubt about it.

113
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,319
Speaker 3: You got to be in the game of saving money

114
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,680
on your taxes as well.

115
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Blaine, you guys have.

116
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,519
Speaker 3: A band or wealth tax smart playbook that you guys

117
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,160
offered for free at banterwellth dot com.

118
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it.

119
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, we want to put together some options, some strategies

120
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:20,920
that listeners can take advantage of. We know that listeners

121
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,079
aren't going to work with just anyone, and we can't

122
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:26,920
work with everyone. So what we've done is take seventeen

123
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,360
plus years of experience working with multiple different types of

124
00:06:30,519 --> 00:06:34,839
clients and put together a playbook. We've got one tailored

125
00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:38,959
to different segments of clients, whether you're an I earner

126
00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:42,759
or whether you're have capital gains or sold a business

127
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,600
and in a real estate owner. We've got a playbook

128
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:50,519
edition for advanced strategies with multiple years and legacy planning.

129
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,279
So a couple of different options on different playbooks, but

130
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,680
the idea is to put it all together and share

131
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:01,279
with listeners. You can visit our website at underwealth dot com.

132
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,399
There's a tab specifically to request a copy of a playbook,

133
00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:08,079
and we're happy to send it and provide it to listeners,

134
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,759
especially as you think about some end of the year

135
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,800
planning Well.

136
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: Look, I think there's a lot of people that want

137
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,759
to be able to retain their funds and then invest

138
00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:20,759
their funds rather than just giving it away, no doubt

139
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,959
about it. So get onto Vanderwell's website banterwealth dot com

00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: A couple last stats.

142
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: Before we'd let you go, Blaine, appreciate you hopping on

143
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:36,000
talking some Cougar football with us today as we prep

144
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,040
as we get ready for this BYU Texas Tech matchup,

145
00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:43,879
Bear Bachmeyer. This season, Okay has been one of the

146
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,839
best freshmen in college football. Okay, he has two thousan

147
00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:51,759
five and ninety three yards through the air. He's rushed

148
00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:55,079
for over five hundred yards five hundred and twenty nine,

149
00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:00,279
so he's accrewed three thousand total yards. He's all also

150
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:06,879
been attributed for fourteen passing touchdowns and eleven rushing touchdowns,

151
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:10,360
so twenty five total touchdowns, and he's led his team

152
00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:15,160
to an eleven to one record. No one thought that

153
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,759
this was going to be possible this season as a

154
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:20,800
as you lost Jake Retzlov and Jake retzl has had

155
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:22,519
a great season at Tulane and Tulane may be in

156
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:23,480
the colleg football.

157
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:23,959
Speaker 1: Playoff as well.

158
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:28,879
Speaker 3: But you know what's your you know your reaction to

159
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,279
the true freshman quarterback of BYU. This has never happened

160
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,200
where a true freshman has led BYU to this height.

161
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,639
Speaker 1: What do you make of it?

162
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: What do you think about when you evaluate bear Bachmeer's

163
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,759
performance thus far this year?

164
00:08:44,639 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 4: Bear back Meyer's been in absolute stead. I don't think

165
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:50,600
we could have asked for anything more than what he's

166
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,840
given us, plus even a little bit more. I mean,

167
00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:55,879
it's I think when we look back at this season,

168
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,480
it'll be highlighted as one of the best we've had,

169
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:04,000
having a freshman come in, step in for a quarterback

170
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,200
that left, and to go through a regular season and

171
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:09,960
a P four conference put up the kind of numbers

172
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,320
he has. But more than anything, win eleven games and

173
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,759
get us to the Big Twelve championship. Regardless of what

174
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,159
happens tomorrow, I think he's going to be a key

175
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,720
differentiator and key to the game. But I can't say

176
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,200
enough good. What a pleasure it's been to have him

177
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,840
here at BYU. I hope we have him for a

178
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:29,759
few more years. But in talking to and getting to

179
00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:33,759
know the Bauchmeyers and even in particular their dad, their family.

180
00:09:34,799 --> 00:09:37,200
It's so neat that we would attract these kind of

181
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,000
people and that it could be such a good fit

182
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,200
for Bear and Tiger and the Bachmeyer family. But all

183
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,360
the good they've done for BYU this past year, I

184
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:47,600
couldn't imagine it being much better, except for to get

185
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,080
a win tomorrow and get into the playoffs. But knows

186
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,240
to Bear Bachmeyer the family, It's been a great story

187
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:55,639
thus far, and I hope it keeps going.

188
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: Love it, Blaane Anderson.

189
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,799
Speaker 3: Guys, for those that just want to get on a

190
00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:01,759
free Q and A no obligation to invest Q and

191
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:04,759
A with you and your crew, Blane, why should they

192
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,440
get on a call? What are some of the questions

193
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,039
that they're typically asking on these Q and as well?

194
00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 4: For example, today I had two appointments with two business

195
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,519
owners but also with their CPAs. Their CPAs walk through

196
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:21,960
their end of the year analysis, what they're looking at

197
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,399
from a tax standpoint, and then I was able to

198
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,840
provide some investment opportunities and how we can bring together

199
00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:30,440
a tax and an investment plan. It's going to make

200
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,879
a serious difference an impact for these investors. We looked

201
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:37,360
at a few different real estate strategies. We talked about

202
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:40,759
some land strategies, some oil and gas strategies, so that

203
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:44,919
not only can they reduce their tax obligation, but also

204
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,120
ramp up their investment power. And this is what I

205
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,240
mean by integrating tax and investment strategies. It's the key

206
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:53,919
to the game. It's what it all comes down to.

207
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,320
It's not what you make, it's what you earn, and

208
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,120
it's what we do best. So we love working alongside

209
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,559
tax professional. We bring additional options to the table and

210
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,360
definitely have a tech smart lens when it comes to

211
00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:09,639
how we invest, how we plan for your financial future.

212
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,600
So it's a pleasure to work with listeners. We've interacted

213
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,440
and been able to help a number of ESPN listeners,

214
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,120
So thank you Ben for sharing some of our message.

215
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,799
We've got a lot of things happening here still before

216
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,759

00:16:18,919 --> 00:16:22,240
wanted to listen into Always Talking Ball if I could

313
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:28,360
ap They break down the resumes year some blind resumes

314
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,399
they compare BYU to another another top ten team in

315
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,480
the College Football Playoff Committee rankings. Let's tune in Always

316
00:16:36,519 --> 00:16:38,240
Talking Ball talking BYU.

317
00:16:38,559 --> 00:16:40,639
Speaker 5: Let's take a look at the BYU Cougars. Why are

318
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,960
they continually disrespected by the committee year after year? Let

319
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,960
me give you a blind resume, real quick team, a

320
00:16:47,879 --> 00:16:50,799
number six strength of record, number fourteen in game control,

321
00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:53,200
I got wins over number eleven, number twenty eight.

322
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:54,559
Speaker 1: I gotta lost to number five.

323
00:16:54,799 --> 00:16:57,399
Speaker 5: They've got four wins over the top forty and five

324
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:00,559
wins over teams that finish seven to five for better

325
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,159
Team B. Number seven is strength the record, so one

326
00:17:03,159 --> 00:17:06,000
spot behind ten in game control, so a couple spots ahead.

327
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,680
Best win versus thirteen and twenty seven relatively similar lost

328
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,759
to number seven, three wins versus the composite top forty

329
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,680
and only two wins versus teams that finished with a

330
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,359
seven and five or better record. Teammate obviously, BYU, do

331
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,279
you know what who Team B is?

332
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: Who is it? Ole? Miss?

333
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:23,079
Speaker 2: Ole?

334
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,599
Speaker 5: Miss moved up to six this week after losing their coach.

335
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,000
How in the world are there five spots separating those

336
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:29,680
two resumes.

337
00:17:29,839 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the BYU.

338
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 3: There you go, There you have it, Ole, Miss B

339
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,960
YU pretty much have the same dang resume. One was

340
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,759
moved up one spot after losing their freaking head coach

341
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,400
and all of their offensive staff.

342
00:17:43,839 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: They moved up. It's insane, yeah, Ben, how does that happen? Ben?

343
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 6: Can we add a new stat? Coaches kept BYU? One

344
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,119
ole miss zero?

345
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 3: Goodness gracious, just insane, man, just insane. Let's go to

346
00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:05,319
Aaron Torres comments as well about the resumes and BYU

347
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,680
comparing Miami's and Notre Dames resumes to bring him Young University.

348
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,039
Let me know when you got it cued up. But

349
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,839
the brand bias is real. This is Aaron Torres of

350
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,960
the Torres Podcast, Aeron Torres Podcast.

351
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,279
Speaker 1: Bill Eyes.

352
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 7: How preposterous it is that they are not part of

353
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,240
the conversation that, oh my god, they actually have a

354
00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:28,640
better resume than not only that I realize, but that

355
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:31,279
all of these teams that I'm arguing about. And so

356
00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:35,000
why you should care is because it might be b

357
00:18:35,079 --> 00:18:37,839
WHYU this year, and you might think b WYU stinks,

358
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,400
But next year, if you're not an Alabama or Notre

359
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,359
Dame fan, it might be you. It might be Vandy,

360
00:18:43,599 --> 00:18:46,319
who nobody seems to be seriously considering for a playoff

361
00:18:46,319 --> 00:18:48,319
spot even though they went ten and two in the SEC.

362
00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:52,920
It might be you know, Northwestern or Michigan State now

363
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,720
that they have Pat Fitzgerald. It might be Kentucky if

364
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:58,480
will Stein gets going in there, the fifth of five teams,

365
00:18:58,519 --> 00:19:00,759
you know, you know, sixth the five teams in the

366
00:19:00,759 --> 00:19:04,920
playoff picture in the SEC, like it's going to be

367
00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:06,880
your school at some point. And so this is why

368
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,599
you should care, And this is why you should frankly

369
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,400
be like advocating for BYU to at least be in

370
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,640
the picture. Now, what I always say is stuff is

371
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,319
always subject to change, and BYU still has a data point.

372
00:19:21,319 --> 00:19:24,640
They can certainly just win the Big twelve championship game.

373
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: And get in.

374
00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 7: But again, I don't think they should be punished if

375
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,960
their only two losses are are to a top five

376
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:32,640
team on the road and on a neutral field. So

377
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,359
it's driving me crazy. It's insane that nobody's talking about it.

378
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,279
By the way, it's insane the Big twelve office isn't

379
00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:40,000
doing more, which we'll talk about it in a minute.

380
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,319
I do want to give credit to one person though,

381
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,960
because I think there's only one other person who's He

382
00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:47,680
certainly has a bigger platform than I do.

383
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,759
Speaker 1: But only one person with a national.

384
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 7: Platform that isn't related to BYU in some way somehow

385
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,079
who is advocating for BYU. That is dayportany So Barstool

386
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,759
Sports obviously. Now the relationship with the Fox, Dave Portnoy

387
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:05,440
has been out to Provo. I believe at least once,

388
00:20:05,519 --> 00:20:08,559
maybe twice, he has experienced the same thing that I have.

389
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,960
I've been to Provo twice in the last calendar year.

390
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:13,839
It's a beautiful community, beautiful area.

391
00:20:14,319 --> 00:20:15,559
Speaker 1: By the way, the football team stunk.

392
00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 7: I want to be advocating for him, but he loves

393
00:20:18,279 --> 00:20:19,759
BYU in provo.

394
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: I love BYU and provo he.

395
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 7: Went on a rant for the ages on I guess

396
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,920
it was Wednesday afternoon talking BYU.

397
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: All right, that's that's it.

398
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 3: Aaron Torre is discussing BYU Miami Notre Dame resumes and

399
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,480
part of the reason why we're delving into this is because,

400
00:20:43,039 --> 00:20:47,319
look like it validates, you know, our our our assumptions

401
00:20:47,319 --> 00:20:47,880
about our team.

402
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:48,559
Speaker 1: There's no doubt.

403
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,759
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of advocacy out there right now,

404
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:54,720
there's more and more advocates that have turned us as

405
00:20:54,759 --> 00:20:57,119
the distractions have been limited. There's not as many games

406
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,000
to break down in conference championship games, right, We're getting

407
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,559
I feel like this kind of this precipice of resume

408
00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:06,880
eval and by he's going to get another data point here,

409
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,759
whereas Miami Notre Dame and and others are not. And

410
00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:15,000
you're just like, okay, like what what what is the

411
00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:16,680
jury collective jury going to say?

412
00:21:16,839 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: Not even the collef Football Playoff.

413
00:21:18,039 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: Committee, right, But I do believe the collef Football Playoff

414
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,319
committee is going to be forced eventually to do side

415
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:28,359
by sides with BYU, and they may feel a little

416
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,480
bit more heat if the collective body of college football pundits,

417
00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:36,759
analysts out there and insiders start reprimanding them. I'm and

418
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:38,799
attacking them for their incompetency.

419
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 8: Here, Ben, I have a question here for you.

420
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 6: We've we've had a lot of clips that we've played

421
00:21:46,279 --> 00:21:50,319
today that describe the national narrative concerning BYU.

422
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 8: Right, would be eating Texas Tech tomorrow? Change that at all?

423
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 6: Or would they just say they got lucky. Let's talk

424
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,400
about the other teams in the playoff.

425
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 3: No, I think they would give them credence, obviously, I

426
00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:07,559
will what I think would happen, where like they do

427
00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:09,440
not want BYU.

428
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: In this thing for its money. And it's also.

429
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,599
Speaker 3: Just brand equity and conference affiliation.

430
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you can see it. It's it's purposeful.

431
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 3: The fact that you don't put BYU into these images

432
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,039
on ESPN and these college football playoff committees, So like

433
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,200
what is going on here? Like they're number eleven and

434
00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:35,680
you're jumping over them to showcase Miami's resume.

435
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: It's just I mean, it's it's it's purposeful.

436
00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 6: The only explanation I have for you is b YU

437
00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:45,599
must have missed picture day and they don't have a

438
00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:46,359
picture to show.

439
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess so, man, I guess so.

440
00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:53,559
Speaker 3: ESPN's made plenty of money off of BYU over the years.

441
00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:55,640
Now is it as much as they've made off of

442
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,200
maybe Notre Dame or or Texas or Texas A and

443
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,319
m or Ole miss I obviously not, because there's no

444
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,960
advocacy there for by You're not even a mention.

445
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: You know.

446
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:13,759
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, they're like side eyeing BYU over there,

447
00:23:13,759 --> 00:23:15,680
like oh gosh, we got to talk about them there

448
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,359
in the room, but I don't want to talk about

449
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,759
Let's avoid them at all costs. So look, I think

450
00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:25,359
what will happen is if BYU wins, b YU will

451
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,440
not be elevated in the rankings to a point where

452
00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:31,160
like they're gonna get a home game.

453
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,799
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't. I don't think they're gonna

454
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:34,559
be elevated to that status.

455
00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 8: You don't you don't think that they'll put us at eight?

456
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if they will. Why I'm not convinced.

457
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 3: I am so disgruntled, so disillusioned, so angry at these fallible, corrupt,

458
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:59,960
oligopoly ridden humans. Right, the monopolies, the cabals of college football. Look,

459
00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:03,200
I just don't see it happening. I don't see it happening.

460
00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:05,759
I want to be proven wrong. I want to be

461
00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:07,680
proven wrong. I don't think they get the home game.

462
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,519
I don't think they're they're they're labeled as a home

463
00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:12,640
game seeding team.

464
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,759
Speaker 1: They got lucky. Once again, they got lucky. They got lucky.

465
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,559
Speaker 3: Look, by the way, historically speaking, the teams that win

466
00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:23,599
the regular season matchup in college football and have to

467
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,079
play the same team twice have about a fifty six

468
00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:30,519
to about sixty five chance of winning the second game.

469
00:24:30,559 --> 00:24:33,400
This is gonna be a closer game. It's it's almost

470
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,119
a coin flip.

471
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: Okay.

472
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 3: The narrative that is difficult, that it's difficult to beat

473
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,440
a team twice in the season is somewhat statistically supported.

474
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,680
The better team, which likely won the first game usually

475
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,759
wins the second game.

476
00:24:47,799 --> 00:24:48,039
Speaker 1: Though.

477
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,599
Speaker 3: Okay, so, but there are some statistical you know, elements

478
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,200
that makes you lean towards BYU as well.

479
00:24:56,279 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 6: Right, So I'm gonna give you my dream scenario of

480
00:25:01,319 --> 00:25:02,920
chaos for tomorrow.

481
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: You ready, Okay, let's go.

482
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 6: I want Duke to beat Virginia in the ACC Championship. Okay,

483
00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:12,720
give me JMU to win their conference championship. North Texas

484
00:25:12,759 --> 00:25:14,599
tu Lane. Actually, let's let's have tu Lane just for

485
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,559
Jake Reetz left win. Let's have Alabama lose to Georgia

486
00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:20,960
and BYU win.

487
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 8: If all that happens, you'll.

488
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 6: Probably have BYU jump Alabama, and you won't have an

489
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,880
ACC team in the in the.

490
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 8: College Football Playoff because the top.

491
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:40,759
Speaker 6: Five ranked conference champions would be BYU Georgia, whoever wins

492
00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:45,440
the Big Ten JMU, and whoever wins Tulane in North Texas.

493
00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:47,799
Speaker 1: So I need you to enumerate.

494
00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 3: I need you to listen this out on Twitter and

495
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,680
tag me it and we'll we'll do our rooting right

496
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,880
who are who you're rooting for right now? And I'll

497
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,279
retweet it for you so everyone can evaluate and take

498

599
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,759
All right, let's get into it. I want to start

600
00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:02,599
off some of the history here the series. B YU

601
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,599
and Texas Tech are facing off for just a fourth

602
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,680
time in uh. They're in this series, Texas Tech obviously

603
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,319
winning the matchup during the regular season twenty nine to seven.

604
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,119
Speaker 1: This year in Lubbock.

605
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,279
Speaker 3: Earlier, Texas Tech won back in nineteen forty, while the

606
00:31:17,319 --> 00:31:20,960
Cougars won the lone game in provo twenty seven to fourteen.

607
00:31:21,079 --> 00:31:24,519
That win in twenty twenty three. This is the first

608
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:28,400
matchup at a neutral site and that boats well I

609
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,960
think for Brigham Bau's college football playoff resume. The Cougars

610
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,599
are currently ranked number eleven in the College Football Playoff

611
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,720
rankings were waiting Tuesdays update, which they stayed at eleven.

612
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,839
Boas earns eleven to one record with consistent and resilient

613
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:43,960
complimentary football.

614
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,799
Speaker 1: Look like, what's the brand of BA football this year?

615
00:31:48,319 --> 00:31:54,319
Speaker 3: Is it just consistent, resilient complimentary football in twenty twenty five?

616
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,119
Maybe that's why the College Football Playoff doesn't like us.

617
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:02,480
Colle playt play Football Playoff Committee doesn't like us because

618
00:32:02,519 --> 00:32:06,440
we're too gritty, We're too overachieving, we're too blue collar.

619
00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:09,359
Speaker 1: You know, we have as do we Graat put it out.

620
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,279
We have the talent level.

621
00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 3: Per two four to seven of the seventieth best team

622
00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:18,079
in the country, but we are the eleventh best team.

623
00:32:18,559 --> 00:32:22,920
We are the most underrated team in college football history

624
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,400
for the a Peopole and the ap Pole era, and

625
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,480
that includes the modern day twenty fourteen and to present,

626
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:36,160
consistently underrated outside the top twenty five preseason and consistently

627
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:36,559
in the.

628
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,079
Speaker 1: Top twenty five by the end of the year.

629
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,759
Speaker 6: Then I'm gonna yes, I'm gonna give you a different

630
00:32:40,759 --> 00:32:43,200
word for our brand of fot.

631
00:32:43,119 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, what is our brand? What is our brand of

632
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,480
BYU Football?

633
00:32:47,079 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: This year.

634
00:32:47,839 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say, who are we? Our brand is balanced.

635
00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:56,079
Look at the offensive stats. Two thousand, six hundred and

636
00:32:56,079 --> 00:32:59,680
thirty four passing yards, three and thirty four rushing yards.

637
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,119
Speaker 8: That's a huge difference.

638
00:33:01,839 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: Fourteen let's see there.

639
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:06,759
Speaker 6: I think there's fourteen passing touchdowns thirty rushing touchdowns.

640
00:33:06,759 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 8: So there's a big difference there. But in terms of yardage,

641
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,519
in terms of of of.

642
00:33:11,759 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 6: How we get there, it's pretty balanced. We are not

643
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,240
flashy necessarily in running the ball. We're not flashy in

644
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,519
throwing the ball. We don't throw for three hundred and

645
00:33:23,559 --> 00:33:26,720
fifty yards a game, and we don't have these you know,

646
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,160
like running the ball. We're kind of a ground and pound.

647
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,480
We'll run into people. We don't have these like slicing

648
00:33:32,519 --> 00:33:35,359
and dicing type of runs. It's a balanced team.

649
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: It is balanced. I like that.

650
00:33:39,599 --> 00:33:45,119
Speaker 3: And look, it kind of piggybacks off the complementary college

651
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:51,799
football team that it's been, you know, promulgated from the

652
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,960
college football analyst pundits and pundits pulpits. But balanced. They

653
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,160
are balanced. Indeed, I like that. That's a little bit

654
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,279
more positive. That has a different that's just a different

655
00:34:02,359 --> 00:34:06,759
spin on it. I like it Magustamucho. BYU is one

656
00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:10,079
of two teams Oregans the other one in the FBS

657
00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:13,079
with four or more road wins against both eligible teams

658
00:34:13,079 --> 00:34:17,119
this season. Oklahoma has two, Alabama has two, Notre Dame

659
00:34:17,119 --> 00:34:22,199
has one. BYU has six wins versus FBS teams with

660
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,000
winning records, tied for the most among.

661
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 1: Teams ranked in the College Football Playoff.

662
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,159
Speaker 3: Ohio State has six, Indiana has five, Notre Dame has five,

663
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,760
Alabama's five, Miami's four, ole Miss has three, Vanderbilt has three.

664
00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:40,000
BYU has more double digit margin wins with eight than

665
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:45,440
Alabama with six and Oklahoma with six. BYU is one

666
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,119
of the two teams in the nation with its only

667
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:54,079
loss coming on the road against a College Football Playoff

668
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:57,679
Top ten ranked team. BYU and Ole Miss are the

669
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,880
only two teams. BYU owns the sixth strength of record

670
00:35:02,039 --> 00:35:06,360
for ESPN Power Football Index, ranking just behind Georgia at

671
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,400
five and I had an ole Miss at seven, in

672
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,119
Alabama at eight, Oklahoma at nine, Texas Tech at ten.

673
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,000
Van they had eleven, Texas at twelve, Notre Dame at thirteen,

674
00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:18,119
in Miami at fourteen. By you Strength the schedule ranks

675
00:35:18,199 --> 00:35:21,440
number thirty five in the ESPN Power Football Index, ahead

676
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,360
of Ole Miss at forty, Notre Dame at forty two,

677
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:25,920
Indiana forty five, Ohio State at forty six, and Texas

678
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:26,719
Tech at fifty nine.

679
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,199
Speaker 1: Conference championships.

680
00:35:30,679 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 3: BYU is playing for its twenty fourth conference championship in

681
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,000
school history and would be its first in the Big

682
00:35:37,039 --> 00:35:41,280
Twelve Conference. The last time BYU won a conference title

683
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,760
was two thousand and seven in the Mountain West Conference.

684
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:49,559
Speaker 1: That was when I was playing. That's insane.

685
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,599
Speaker 6: Then I was forty. I am old, I am I

686
00:35:52,679 --> 00:35:56,239
was four. I had not made it to kindergarten.

687
00:35:58,039 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 3: Andrew Peterson, our producer, was, it's not even in kindergarten.

688
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:06,559
Speaker 6: I had not yet entered the public school system.

689
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 3: Oh man, it's insane, Like, we gotta get this, We

690
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,599
gotta get this win, gotta get this dub.

691
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,199
Speaker 1: We need another ring.

692
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 3: The last time Bou played in a conference championship game

693
00:36:18,559 --> 00:36:21,960
was back in nineteen ninety eight in the Western Athletic

694
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,599
Conference against air Force. By the Way rematches, By's getting

695
00:36:26,599 --> 00:36:30,400
a second chance at Texas Tech after falling just short

696
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,880
in the regular season. Last time Bou played a team

697
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,239
in a rematch for the regular season was two thousand

698
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,800
and seven against UCLA. The Cougars lost to the Bruins

699
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,679
in September. They lost twenty seven to seventeen, and then

700
00:36:42,679 --> 00:36:44,639
faced them in the Las Vegas Bowl that same season.

701
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,320
BOU won the rematch seventeen to sixteen thanks to a

702
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,840
block field goal by defensive lineman Ethan Mana Malauna. So

703
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,039
not only was the last time you won a conference

704
00:36:54,119 --> 00:36:58,880
championship in two thousand and seven, the last time BYU

705
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,599
played the same team twice and the season was.

706
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: Two thousand and seven. B y, you's winning this game? Baby?

707
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 3: That that my friends yeah U c l A that,

708
00:37:11,159 --> 00:37:14,039
my friends is a is a stat of the day,

709
00:37:14,039 --> 00:37:14,960
in fact of the day.

710
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: Boom shaka laca.

711
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,559
Speaker 8: How many times have we played someone twice in the season.

712
00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: That's a great question. I don't have that.

713
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 6: I don't like I'm just off the top of my head,

714
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,400
Like the UCLA one's the only one that really comes

715
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,760
to mind. I'm sure it's happened before. But are we

716
00:37:33,039 --> 00:37:36,079
are we are we undefeated in our rematches?

717
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,679
Speaker 3: That's a great question. I I don't have that stat

718
00:37:39,679 --> 00:37:41,039
in front of me, but I can sure as heck.

719
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:43,679
Try to look it up. I can sure try to

720
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,960
look it up. But Texas Tech is a good football program,

721
00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:48,039
good football team.

722
00:37:48,519 --> 00:37:50,559
Speaker 1: Look, they're in a same similar.

723
00:37:50,199 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 3: Situation to BYU as far as relevancy is concerned, right like,

724
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,320
they have not been all that relevant since when thousand

725
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,039
and seven, two thousand and eight, that was the last

726
00:38:02,039 --> 00:38:03,440
time when coach Leash was there.

727
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,199
Speaker 1: Now they're on the rise.

728
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:13,199
Speaker 3: They are a good football team and a good football program.

729
00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:17,639
Over the last few years under Joey McGuire, they've gone

730
00:38:17,679 --> 00:38:19,599
eight and five, seven and six, and eight and five.

731
00:38:19,679 --> 00:38:24,119
Now they're eleven and one. They're eleven to one, baby.

732
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:28,559
Then they've gone to bowl games for four consecutive years.

733
00:38:28,559 --> 00:38:31,800
They're going to a fifth consecutive bowl game. So Matt

734
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,679
Wells was the coach prior to Joey McGuire. They went

735
00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:37,360
seven to six that season. They went seven to six,

736
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,320
not good enough though for the Tech alumni.

737
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:41,519
Speaker 1: They didn't like it.

738
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,639
Speaker 3: They got rid of them and Joey McGuire was brought

739
00:38:44,679 --> 00:38:48,360
into a revamp, remodel, restructure this football program.

740
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 6: What do you got ap, I'm looking it up, and

741
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,320
as far as I can tell, two thousand and seven

742
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:54,880
is the only time BA has played.

743
00:38:54,679 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 8: The team twice.

744
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, I will keep.

745
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,199
Speaker 6: Looking diving deeper. But as far as I found, that's

746
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:04,840
where we're at.

747
00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we're undefeated.

748
00:39:07,119 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 3: When you got to play US twice, baby, well take it,

749
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:11,880
take it to the bank.

750
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: Betting on them cougs, no doubt about it. Test atention.

751
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,400
Good football team, guys.

752
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,519
Speaker 3: They average forty three point two points per game and

753
00:39:20,559 --> 00:39:22,480
they only give up eleven point three points per game.

754
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,079
BYU averages thirty four points per game and gives up

755
00:39:25,119 --> 00:39:25,960
seventeen point eight.

756
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,679
Speaker 1: This's pretty good. It's pretty good.

757
00:39:29,079 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 3: Bow he's running the ball well effect very effectively. This

758
00:39:32,119 --> 00:39:35,360
this season one hundred and ninety four point five rushing

759
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,400
yards per game. The rush defense only gives up one

760
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,559
hundred and nineteen passing offense two thousand or sorry, two

761
00:39:40,599 --> 00:39:44,000
hundred and nineteen point five passing yards per game passing

762
00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:48,480
defense two pH five point six. So look, the stats,

763
00:39:48,519 --> 00:39:51,719
if you go side by side, are mostly in favor

764
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,800
of TECH everywhere you turn, except for like punt return

765
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:03,079
yards per attempt or per per punt return. Time of

766
00:40:03,079 --> 00:40:06,559
possession is another one where BYU's better at than TECH.

767
00:40:07,079 --> 00:40:10,840
Fourth down conversion actually by US better than TECH slightly

768
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,960
better b YU is not has not accrued more sacks

769
00:40:16,039 --> 00:40:16,519
than TECH.

770
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: They have.

771
00:40:19,079 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 3: Actually, they're pretty good at protecting their quarterback. They're they're

772
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,320
they're better than TECH at protecting their quarterback. Boas only

773
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:31,079
giving up fourteen sacks this season. BYU is better in

774
00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:36,000
the red zone. Thought that was interesting. Nice work red

775
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:42,280
zone efficiency and so yeah, that's that's some of the

776
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:46,480
the side by sides there. Statistically, where does BYU have

777
00:40:46,519 --> 00:40:48,360
a competitive advantage? I just gave you some of the

778
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,639
stats where they have a competitive advantage.

779
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,039
Speaker 1: B YU is a twelve and a half point dog.

780
00:40:53,599 --> 00:40:56,039
Speaker 3: ESPN Analytics only gives b YU a thirty three percent

781
00:40:56,119 --> 00:41:02,760
chance of victory versus TECH in arlenk Okay. But BYU

782
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,280
is nine and three against the spread this season, and

783
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,079
I expect them to cover once again. So if you're

784
00:41:09,079 --> 00:41:11,800
gonna bet on this game, I wouldn't necessarily bet b

785
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,679
way you to win, but I would bet them to cover.

786
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,760
At twelve and a half, I think that they keep

787
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:18,960
it a one score game.

788
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: And you wonder if.

789
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 3: BA he keeps in a one score game is competitive

790
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,920
and maybe back and forth, and it causes a little

791
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,519
bit of drama, and it causes more to watch their

792
00:41:29,639 --> 00:41:33,079
games and be bought into the game. You wonder if

793
00:41:33,119 --> 00:41:35,760
that subjective eye test could put by you into the

794
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,079
conversation for the college football playoff.

795
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,159
Speaker 1: That's what you hope for, That's what you pray for.

796
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:45,039
Speaker 3: So any other thoughts as you break down this game

797
00:41:45,079 --> 00:41:47,039
before we give our keys to the game and score predictions?

798
00:41:47,039 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: What do you got from me? Ap?

799
00:41:50,159 --> 00:41:52,559
Speaker 6: I guess the only thoughts that are going around in

800
00:41:52,639 --> 00:41:53,679
my brain right now.

801
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 8: Actually, I've got a lot.

802
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 6: I have been looking through every single season of BAU

803
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,000
football to see any you know, times we've we've played

804
00:42:00,039 --> 00:42:02,599
another team twice. The only other one I found was

805
00:42:02,639 --> 00:42:05,119
nineteen twenty two we played Wyoming twice. We won the

806
00:42:05,159 --> 00:42:08,000
first win and lost the second one, which is unfortunate anyways,

807
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,280
first ever season.

808
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:09,639
Speaker 8: I think.

809
00:42:10,559 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 6: The only other thought that I have, and I've been

810
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,519
thinking about this a lot, this is the This is

811
00:42:16,559 --> 00:42:20,679
one of my official predictions. It feels like this is

812
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,840
a Trey Alexander game where he gets an interception.

813
00:42:24,119 --> 00:42:26,679
Speaker 3: Dude, I love this take. By the way, I was

814
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,079
just thinking about Trey. He had a boo boo game,

815
00:42:29,119 --> 00:42:31,719
He had his worst game of his career, the worst

816
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,880
game of the season versus Tech.

817
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 8: It feels like Trey's gonna get one.

818
00:42:37,639 --> 00:42:38,199
Speaker 1: I love it.

819
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 6: I think so that's that's my bold prediction. That's the

820
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,599
one that I'm gonna text you about mid game if

821
00:42:43,599 --> 00:42:45,880
it happens, which I do quite often.

822
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,159
Speaker 1: Look, look, look, this is this is a great take.

823
00:42:48,199 --> 00:42:51,639
Speaker 3: I want you to put your hot take okay from

824
00:42:51,679 --> 00:42:54,000
the for the BYU text Tech game. This is what

825
00:42:54,079 --> 00:42:56,079
I want you to put out because this is your take,

826
00:42:56,599 --> 00:42:58,239
my tay, this is your take.

827
00:42:58,280 --> 00:42:58,559
Speaker 1: Okay.

828
00:42:59,599 --> 00:43:02,519
Speaker 3: Trey Alexander had his worst game of his career versus

829
00:43:02,559 --> 00:43:06,639
Tech at at Tech. They picked on him, they got him, Okay,

830
00:43:06,679 --> 00:43:09,719
and you can word out however you want. Trey's gonna

831
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,280
have an awesome game. He's gonna have a pick this game.

832
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,639
He dropped a pick that Look, hey, you know else,

833
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:16,679
Evan john.

834
00:43:17,679 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 6: Is this the cornerback game where we get two different

835
00:43:20,039 --> 00:43:21,079
corners to get a pick?

836
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 3: Dude, this is the cornerback game Evan Johnson and Trey Alexander,

837
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:26,760
maybe Maury Bombay.

838
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: Those guys they're gonna.

839
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,079
Speaker 3: They're gonna, they're gonna they're gonna make They're gonna make

840
00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:34,320
Baron pay. They're gonna make Baron pay for his mistakes.

841
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,159
He had a lot of chunkyardedge plays through the air.

842
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,079
Speaker 1: Not so fast, not so fast.

843
00:43:40,079 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 3: You ain't gonna do that to us again, love to take.

844
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,440
I think this is accurate. I think this is has

845
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,760
been foretold, This has been prognosticated.

846
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: You are a football Uh uh.

847
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:51,760
Speaker 8: You are the pigskin prophet.

848
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,119
Speaker 3: Yes, the pigskin prophet. I was thinking of what a

849
00:43:54,159 --> 00:43:57,280
literation I created last time. He is the pigskin prophet.

850
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,679
This is happening, guys, a p He has foreseeing it,

851
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:01,599
he has foretold it.

852
00:44:02,159 --> 00:44:04,679
Speaker 6: So if we're gonna extend this to all the cornerbacks, Okay,

853
00:44:04,679 --> 00:44:07,679
first off, my official prediction, Trey Alexander one pick. We're

854
00:44:07,679 --> 00:44:11,480
gonna extend this to the cornerback game. This is this

855
00:44:11,519 --> 00:44:15,480
is my dream. Okay, Trey gets a pick, Morey gets

856
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:20,320
a pick, and schmev Evan Johnson gets two PBUs.

857
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 8: That's where I'm going.

858
00:44:23,199 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: I love it, I need it. I'm down with it. Okay, beautiful,

859
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:33,880
ready for it? All right? What's that four minutes left?

860
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,719
Guys before we wrap up this show?

861
00:44:36,119 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 3: All right, let me give you a few nuggets here

862
00:44:39,039 --> 00:44:44,480
before we say good night. How did ASU beat Texas Tech?

863
00:44:45,559 --> 00:44:48,880
How in the world did ASU beat Texas Tech.

864
00:44:50,079 --> 00:44:52,599
Speaker 1: Well, Sam love That had a pretty good game.

865
00:44:52,639 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 3: He was twenty eight to forty seven, three hun nineteen

866
00:44:54,559 --> 00:44:57,800
yards sixty eight yards per attempting one touchdown. He didn't

867
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:03,400
do it entirely through like big chunk yarders plays. Most

868
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:07,000
of it was quick game denk and dunk, dropping off

869
00:45:07,039 --> 00:45:11,599
to his playmakers in space, screen game, and then his

870
00:45:11,679 --> 00:45:14,639
playmakers would make plays and they would march down the field.

871
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,280
There were I believe two occasions in which he extended plays,

872
00:45:18,679 --> 00:45:24,599
scrambled and found a way to have a chunk yarders

873
00:45:24,599 --> 00:45:26,280
play through the air, and that helped.

874
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,079
Speaker 1: Can Bear Bachmeerer do the same? He doesn't.

875
00:45:28,199 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 3: Bear bach Miner does not have the arm straight that

876
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,199
Sam Levitt has, but Bear is a more of a

877
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,840
linear runner. Maybe he can extend plays, keep eyes downfield

878
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,639
and do something special, but quick game has to be involved.

879
00:45:39,679 --> 00:45:43,039
Screen game has to be involved and make that Texas

880
00:45:43,079 --> 00:45:45,719
Tech defensive front pay even when they're only bringing a

881
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,360
four or five man pressure. Releak Brown ran the ball

882
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,280
pretty effectively. Okay, so we need LJ to get at

883
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,719
least four yards of carry. Releak was at three point

884
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,559
six and he had one touchdown. Sam Levitt did carry

885
00:45:57,559 --> 00:46:00,760
the ball twelve times, but he was and all that effected.

886
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,159
We gotta get downhill with bear Bachmeyer and sometimes a

887
00:46:05,199 --> 00:46:07,119
four yard game is all you need. So we have

888
00:46:07,199 --> 00:46:09,760
to be effective there and be physical. The offensive line

889
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,199
has to be good. The one thing that BYU does

890
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,840
not have as a receiver is a Jordan Tyson. Can

891
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,840
we expect a Jordan Tyson type of performance from Chase

892
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,559
Roberts with him coming back off of hamstring?

893
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: A Parker Kingston? Maybe maybe Parker is the guy.

894
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 3: Parker had his best performance of his career last week.

895
00:46:31,159 --> 00:46:32,639
Speaker 1: Is this the Parker.

896
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 3: Kingston game where he makes Texas Tech pay?

897
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,519
Speaker 1: I hope, so I pray.

898
00:46:39,599 --> 00:46:43,519
Speaker 3: So look, Texas Tech dropped seven a lot versus BWAYU

899
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:46,679
the first game they dropped seven a lot only a

900
00:46:46,679 --> 00:46:47,559
four man pressure.

901
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: But the other way that.

902
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 3: Texas Tech lost they didn't have their starting quarterbacks. They

903
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,719
didn't have their starting quarterback. Will Hemmon did not have

904
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,159
a good game. One hundred and sixty seven yards. He

905
00:46:59,159 --> 00:47:01,679
had two touchdowns. And now turn the ball over, meaning

906
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,119
you gotta win the turnover battle. You can't cough up

907
00:47:04,159 --> 00:47:06,400
the football. You can't have Parker Kingston muff punch. You

908
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,199
can't have shank punts and you cannot throw picks. Jacob

909
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,280
Rodriguez got that one. It was a tremendous play. So

910
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,760
we gotta be at least neutral. We gotta be at

911
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,000
least neutral. We don't have to win the score, we

912
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,840
don't have to win the turnoverward. We gotta be at

913
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:24,159
least neutral and let our guys play. Let our guys

914
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:28,280
play their game, and let's see if discipline wins out,

915
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,119
complimentary football wins out, balance wins out.

916
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 1: In this game, LJ should have. If we win, LJ

917
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:37,159
will have a game.

918
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,639
Speaker 3: LJ and Bear will probably run the ball pretty gosh

919
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:45,599
dang effectively, and our offensive line will establish And look,

920
00:47:46,039 --> 00:47:47,760
if I was to pick one position group that has

921
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,239
been much improved since that Texas that game, it's been

922
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,639
the offensive line. They've been tremendous in the run game,

923
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,960
and I expect them to be much better than they

924
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:55,800
were the first go around.

925
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,639
Speaker 1: Those are my keys in the game. I'm gonna say this.

926
00:47:57,639 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say twenty four, twenty twenty four to twenty

927
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,480
three BYU, twenty four to twenty three BYU. They get

928
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,079
the win in Arlington, Glory, Glory, hallelujah. Guys, that's my

929
00:48:08,199 --> 00:48:10,960
