00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,919
onto Uh, let me see which podcast was?

49
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: Which show was?

50
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: This looks like it was from the logo with Jimmer

51
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,680
fredet uh and uh. This is what he had to

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,759
say about why he chose b Yu.

53
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:52,159
Speaker 4: Hearing you know that I didn't know much about the

54
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,599
religion in Utah yet and by you always look like

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,719
and for me, it was just great to to learn

56
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:05,199
that people there are not drinking, not partying, you know there,

57
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,639
most of them are good people sort of things. So

58
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:12,159
I'm like, okay, that's like me, you know.

59
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,719
Speaker 5: And when I already.

60
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: Got there, this understanding got even even more clear because

61
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:22,960
I'm like, Okay, I'm I'm a part of this group, right,

62
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:27,000
I'm not nothing different and I'm not I'm not going

63
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:30,639
to be weird for not going to party Withever with

64
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,120
the with the whole team, right, and I'm not going

65
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:34,879
to be I'm not going to be a weird guy

66
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,479
for not drinking or not smoking, you know, and things

67
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,240
like this. So I really felt like a part of

68
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,240
that group. And it was it was special for me,

69
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:47,080
that's for sure. Hearing you know that, I didn't know

70
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:47,840
much about.

71
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: It, all right.

72
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: So he didn't want to be ostracized. He didn't like

73
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,360
to party, he didn't like to drink, he didn't like

74
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,280
to smoke. He didn't like to get out and about

75
00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:06,479
in the community and take in the traditional collegiate student

76
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,479
body experience, which can be a little bit an out

77
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:14,280
of body experience quite honestly, as you you you partake

78
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:19,560
of some of the uh, I don't know what you'd

79
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,839
call it, the the dopamine uh. And you know, anyway,

80
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,600
just partake of the traditional ways right of college student,

81
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,959
the student body experience. He didn't want any of that.

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,639
He wanted to be different. He was different, and he

83
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,560
didn't want to be ostracized when he said no to it.

84
00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:39,079
I can tell you this much like I guarantee you

85
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:42,240
Jimmer Ferd when he went to the Sacramento Kings, he

86
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:43,319
was different in that.

87
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,079
Speaker 3: Locker room, okay, absolutely like and.

88
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: He was ostracized, like culturally, ethnically, religiously. He he was

89
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:58,439
just different in every way, shape and form, and it

90
00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:00,720
was oil and water and that locker room.

91
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:01,759
Speaker 3: They didn't want him there.

92
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: Furthermore, they felt they probably felt like he was, you know,

93
00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:08,920
a rat in there, you know, a tattletale in there, like,

94
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:11,759
oh no, maybe we ain't inviting you, invite you out,

95
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:14,040
and he probably don't want to go out anyway, and

96
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:16,000
it creates separation, right, So he wanted to go to

97
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,600
the team yegor want to go to a team where

98
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,639
he was, he was welcomed, He fit in and culturally

99
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,079
he meshed. That's why he chose b Yu. And this

100
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,839
is the whole. Like I've been talking about this since

101
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:29,040
the inception.

102
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: Of our show.

103
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 2: The love that I have and also the love hate

104
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:36,199
relationship I have with the honor Code. I love the

105
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,959
fact that it limits distractions temporarily.

106
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 3: You can be better. You have impulse control.

107
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: You're going to be more socioeconomically successful if you can

108
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:47,879
abide by rules and regulations and not give in to

109
00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:51,360
your impulses and appetites in life. That is clinically proven,

110
00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:56,000
by the way, that is, like scientifically proven impulse control

111
00:05:56,399 --> 00:05:59,800
will lead you like if you have the ability to

112
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,759
say no to food, to say no to drink, then

113
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,920
say to no to other appetites that sometimes are even

114
00:06:05,959 --> 00:06:09,879
more powerful. Right, Like you have a leg up on

115
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,600
the competition temporarily speaking, socioeconomically speaking, athletically speaking, and it's

116
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:19,079
not even close. So I love that about it. But

117
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,240
you know fair Cycle said, you say it always. You know,

118
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,399
the pompus ran me up to Mormon sometimes can can.

119
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,480
It's not a good culture at times, right, so you

120
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:29,279
got to get the right people that want to abide

121
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:32,439
and align with Bo's culture and Boy's ono coade and

122
00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:35,720
BoA's academic standards. Period Yegor fit the mold. You gotta

123
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,360
go find more Yegors periods period.

124
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:38,759
Speaker 3: It is.

125
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,399
Speaker 6: It is funny how BYU keeps finding these guys that

126
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,800
basically already do all the things include like they do

127
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,000
all the things that a BYU requires.

128
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: They fit in with the culture. You find the Yegor.

129
00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 6: Demon who says I don't want to I don't want

130
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,560
to drink, I don't want to party. You get bear

Speaker 2: And chess and comes from a military I sing I.

134
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,639
Speaker 6: Sing at retirement homes. I mean, tell me that you're

135
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,519
a boy scout without telling me that you're a voice.

136
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:10,519
Speaker 7: Uh.

137
00:07:11,839 --> 00:07:14,519
Speaker 6: It's funny how BYU keeps finding these guys and they

138
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,240
become the face of BYU and represent BYU just the

139
00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:21,319
same as if someone who grew up in the church

00:08:56,879 --> 00:09:01,919
Texas Tech, and as a Mattator of the Sky responded

170
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:04,679
after reading about this, said, I'm not supposed to like

171
00:09:04,759 --> 00:09:07,320
y'all till after the game, but this is the sort

172
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,639
of thing that makes college football special that it brings

173
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:12,480
communities together.

174
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,279
Speaker 9: People you know outside that they're going to.

175
00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 8: Compete for sixty minutes on the field, but we're all

176
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,279
kind of in this together. So very cool to be

177
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,960
Why you fans to do that? So I just wanted

178
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,000
to point that out.

179
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:26,039
Speaker 3: Love this.

180
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: They have now officially raised over one hundred and fifty

181
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,000
thousand dollars on the go fundb account.

182
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:34,879
Speaker 3: That's insane, It's crazy.

183
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, BA fans give some relief the Texas Tech barbering

184
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,879
wife as she continues her recovery after a devastating crash

185
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,360
caused by a drunk driver. All the more reasons speaking

186
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:48,960
of honor code, all the more reason to highlight that.

187
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,159
I mean, I go into I'm on call for like

188
00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:59,039
er visits for orthopedic and sports medicine devices, back braces,

189
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,080
neck braces, just braces in general, bio mechanical supports, and

190
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,879
I can't tell you how many times, Like I mean,

191
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,120
Utah is a little bit different, but the number of

192
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:15,120
like urgent care and emergent visits correlated with alcohol consumption

193
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:19,840
is extremely high. Like, you drink alcohol, you know, there's

194
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,720
a high percentage chance that you could be.

195
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 3: In the er soon. It's that bad, right, and so

196
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,080
like obviously like this whole thing. So anyways, the honor code.

197
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: Is good, is what I'm getting at, And not consuming

198
00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:33,840
alcohol is good. And everybody, I think in the world,

199
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,000
hopefully more people are understanding that, and you're gonna see

200
00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:39,720
more people not drinking alcohol. And I hope it shuts

201
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,919
down all the fermented drink creators. I'll be honest, it's

202
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:46,320
not good for anybody. Honestly, you know, if I'm being honest,

203
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,440
I'd rather have you smoke weed than drink alcohol. Like

204
00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:51,480
that's the point. Like, I'd rather have you have some

205
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:58,039
sort of medicinal marijuana card and consume it than drinking alcohol.

206
00:10:58,399 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: It's that bad.

207
00:10:59,159 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 9: It's poison.

208
00:10:59,799 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: It's literally an a stringent. Joseph Smith was a prophet,

209
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,519
he was inspired. He has inspired the word of wisdom.

210
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:07,879
Speaker 3: Anyway.

211
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: Ivan ortiz Okay stated this to The Athletic. It went

212
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:16,320
from a hate week to everybody supporting each other. Now

213
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,080
it's more of a camaraderie instead of a war. Orti said,

214
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:21,919
I didn't realize the situation. My story would bring some

215
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,879
peace to this game this week. It's a miracle she's

216
00:11:25,879 --> 00:11:29,039
alive right now based on her injuries, but Maddie has

217
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,919
made strong progress. Ivan said she's able to respond by

218
00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:34,879
squeezing her hand, showing her expressions, and opening her eyes.

219
00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:38,840
Ivan and his three year old son, Ivan Canelo Junior,

220
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,519
who had recently completed potty trading with his mother before

221
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,519
the accident and visit the hospital every day. Bau fans

222
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,919
have been given messages of support. Football is fun, but

223
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,240
family is forever. Sending love from BYU Cougar or Raider.

224
00:11:56,639 --> 00:11:59,879
Family matters most, sending love and prayers for a full recovery,

225
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,879
doubt or of financial stress. We're in Lubbock, Texas, and

226
00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:06,360
people from Utah touch by our story. She's not alone

227
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,879
and it's showing. Ivan has been extremely gracious, extremely full

228
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:17,720
of gratitude during this process, commenting on social media as

229
00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:22,440
well as anyone that's willing to listen from the media interviewing.

230
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,879
Speaker 6: Well, is it is it true to say that this

231
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:29,679
is one of the ways that BYU Athletics is a

232
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,279
missionary tool because it's allowing.

233
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: I think it's important.

234
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 6: I think it's in a way that we can't otherwise.

235
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting.

236
00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: So, like I think missionary tool has is too much

237
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,879
of a connotation of proselyting. I think this is just

238
00:12:45,919 --> 00:12:49,360
an ambassadorial tool to introduce people to the people of

239
00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:50,360
the faith, right.

240
00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 3: Because yeah, and and so I think it's.

241
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: Important to just delineate the two.

242
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:09,519
Speaker 3: The two words. I guess because I don't. I don't.

243
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 6: The reason being is we don't want it to sound

244
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:16,600
like we're in it for baptisms, right, And my point

245
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,200
is that this has allowed like members of the church

246
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,919
to show goodwill towards people in a way that we

247
00:13:25,039 --> 00:13:29,919
can't otherwise because there's absolutely no connection between as far

248
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,759
as I know, between these two people and members of

249
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:38,320
the Church of Ya, fans or anything without BYU athletics.

250
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,320
These people probably don't get this help.

251
00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it. Like what I'm saying is like,

252
00:13:44,039 --> 00:13:45,360
you know, it's for me.

253
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 2: I think there's also a component like I want to

254
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,639
introduce people to like the people, the faith, service, all

255
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,919
those things, like all of it, but it shouldn't be

256
00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:57,720
based foundationally.

257
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 3: To be seen of men absolutely like that.

258
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're trying to introduce it, like, hey, are we

259
00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:07,000
of life? Are our people? We're you know, we like

260
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:09,799
to give you know, service oriented, look at the fruits.

261
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,120
We'd love to have you come, you know, bring your

262
00:14:12,159 --> 00:14:14,759
truth to us, right, but it's not to be seen

263
00:14:14,759 --> 00:14:16,759
of men like, oh, we can't get And that's what

264
00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:19,320
I'm trying to get clarification on, Like we're gonna celebrate this.

265
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,399
There's no doubt. This is our show and this is

266
00:14:21,399 --> 00:14:24,279
what we talk about and and things of that nature.

267
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,639
But but I also think it's important to understand, Hey,

268
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,360
you know, foundationally, our approach should be service, and I.

269
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,639
Speaker 3: Think it is in this vein it it is in

270
00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:36,639
this particular situation. It totally is.

271
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: All Right, guys, let's get to a couple more sound bites,

272
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,759

276
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,919
let's get to the Josh Paige sound uh. This is

277
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,759
his synopsis his breakdown b YU versus Texas Tech. He says,

278
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,919
upset alert for Texas Tech can be why you pull.

279
00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 10: It off the biggest scheduled dynamic edges of the season

280
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,320
in this game, Texas Tech playing their sixth consecutive game,

281
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:09,080
Brigham Young coming off of buy.

282
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 9: So late in the year. This matters. So let's just

283
00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:12,519
keep an eye on that.

284
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 10: You got to make Brigham Young uncomfortable because they are

285
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,879
masters at making you uncomfortable. They're so good at creating

286
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:20,840
the game. They want to play and then beating you

287
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:22,480
play in it. They're number three in the country and

288
00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:25,720
turnover margin, so they've taken the ball away consistently. They

289
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,519
have not trailed a ton, and even when they've trailed,

290
00:15:28,559 --> 00:15:31,200
it hasn't been my multiple possessions. They've never had to

291
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,240
abandon the run this year. They've never had to lean

292
00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:35,200
on throwing the ball to get back in the game.

293
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,120
Brigham Young has the eighty eighth passing offense in the country,

294
00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:39,679
so you would think to yourself, Oh man, all you

295
00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:40,879
got to do is get ahead of them.

296
00:15:40,919 --> 00:15:43,279
Speaker 9: Okay, do it. Everyone else has tried to.

297
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:45,559
Speaker 10: Everyone else has tried to get that two possession lead

298
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,600
and then make bear Backmeyer and company come back on them.

299
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:51,399
Speaker 9: Through the air. They're very good at making you play

300
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:51,919
their game.

301
00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 10: The model has Texas Tech minus ten FanDuel Texas Tech

302
00:15:55,519 --> 00:15:57,720
minus ten and a half. There is a world where

303
00:15:57,759 --> 00:16:00,320
Brigham Young wins this game outright by doing the exact

304
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,200
same thing that they've done for a long time. The

305
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:04,799
reason I'm gonna go the direction I'm gonna go is

306
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,200
because I think that there are a couple of damn

307
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,360
breaker moments that could happen here where if they happen.

308
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:12,320
They're kind of happening to Brigham Young for the first

309
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,960
time this year, and if they're putting an unfamiliar spot,

310
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,600
I think there is there is some chance to.

311
00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 9: Get margin here for Texas Tech.

312
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:19,759
Speaker 3: Because what I.

313
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 10: Haven't even mentioned is they're number one in the country

314
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,080
in explosive plays, their top twenty five running pass. I

315
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,559
think it's just a different caliber team than Brigham Young's

316
00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:29,559
face so far this year. So give me Red Raiders

317
00:16:29,559 --> 00:16:30,919
to win, Give me Red Raiders to cover.

318
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: Wow, pulling a fast one on all of us, right,

319
00:16:35,519 --> 00:16:38,600
pulling a fast one. Look, I need Pate. Pate state

320
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,440
he's a hater. Joe Klatt's a hater. Well, there's a

321
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,639
bigger hater. Pate is way bigger of a hter. I

322
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:47,440
don't think he's watched the b WAYU game.

323
00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 6: And here's how I know, yeah, because he and he

324
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:52,559
hints at it in this clip where he's starting to

325
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:54,480
Teams have tried to get those two score leads, and

326
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,840
oh wait, what did Iowa State do? Did they get

327
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,240
a two score lead? I think they did. Did Colorado

328
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,960
get a two score lead, I think they did. Did

329
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,159
Arizona get a two score lead? I think they did

330
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:05,279
earlier in the week. There's a there was a clip

331
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:08,039
of him floating around where he said that no team

332
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,960
has had a two score lead on BYU And in

333
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,720
that moment, I said, this man has not seen a

334
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:16,720
single game of BYU.

335
00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 3: He's he's he.

336
00:17:17,799 --> 00:17:22,519
Speaker 6: Might have watched film on one, but he he isn't.

337
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,319
Speaker 3: He isn't paying he's watched that much.

338
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 2: Is it like snap to huddle or something like that,

339
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:30,200
snap like tackle?

340
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,759
Speaker 6: You know, I don't think he I don't think he's

341
00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:36,880
looked outside the box score. And even if you look

342
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,440
at the box score, you can see these teams have

343
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,200
been up two scores. Just look at the quarter breakdown.

344
00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:45,519
It's it's not difficult. A lot of what he said, though,

345
00:17:45,599 --> 00:17:48,599
is true. I think it does play a factor that

346
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,160
this is Texas text six straight.

347
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 3: Game and BA is coming off of bye. I think

348
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:52,880
that's an advantage.

349
00:17:53,079 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too. Was chatted with a few

350
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,319
textas Taken insiders.

351
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 3: They did they do.

352
00:17:57,279 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: They did say that they they're as healthy as they've

353
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:00,440
been all season.

354
00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: That's one of the things they've they've they've brought up.

355
00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: It's like despite not having a bye week for the

356
00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:09,599
last six weeks, they've somehow gotten healthy.

357
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,839
Speaker 3: Which is wild, which.

358
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 2: Is also pretty wild. But like I did ask this

359
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,200
to Brett Hammer, I think yesterday I was like, who

360
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,720
hates b Yu more? Is it Joel Klatt or is

361
00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:21,759
it Josh Pate? And you think it's Pate. I do

362
00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:22,920
think it's paid Joe Clatt.

363
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 6: Will Joe Clatt at least went on I think he

364
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:29,680
went on BA Sports Nation last year, and I mean

365
00:18:29,759 --> 00:18:33,079
he wasn't He was complimentary, but he wasn't like, you know,

366
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,119
he wasn't really giving Boay that many flowers.

367
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: But every once in a.

368
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 6: While he'll say something where it's like he'll say a

369
00:18:39,559 --> 00:18:43,000
positive thing about b Yu. Josh Pate will never in

370
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,960
his life ever say anything positive about BOYU. If they

371
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,440
win a national championship, he will declare someone else the

372
00:18:50,519 --> 00:18:51,440
national champion.

373
00:18:54,039 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I think both of them hate BYU.

374
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,319
Speaker 2: They get like paying them both to like I think

375
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,400
for different reason. And I don't know the background of

376
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,519
Josh pay but but like for like Josh Payin, I

377
00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:05,559
think it's just like he's he's one of those elitist

378
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:07,920
college football SEC Big ten guys.

379
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:08,519
Speaker 1: Uh.

380
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,559
Speaker 6: He'll find a way to blame an il for ruining

381
00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:14,359
college football b where you went to national championship.

382
00:19:13,839 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 2: On You know they'll they'll pull an urban Meyer and

383
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,119
bring up the uh, the missionary advantage too.

384
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 3: Oh, while they're at it. While they're at it.

385
00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:26,079
Speaker 2: Joe Klatt, I just think, I just I just don't

386
00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:28,519
think he likes twelve no Mormonism. I think it's a

387
00:19:28,519 --> 00:19:32,400
Mormon thing. I think it's a Chris theological Christian cultural thing.

388
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,480
We are up against it, So we're gonna have to

389
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,519

404
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,279
twelve football coming up next with Drake Tall, host of

405
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,319
Lockdown Big Twelve. This is Cougar Sports one O three

nine ninety eight point three e SPA.

407
00:20:20,599 --> 00:20:25,039
Speaker 1: Fan, It's time to celebrate the biggest team sport known

408
00:20:25,079 --> 00:20:28,359
to me, where modern day gladiators collide for all the

409
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:29,519
glory on the grid.

410
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:30,759
Speaker 3: I let's talk some.

411
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: College football on Cougar Sports with Ben Crito.

412
00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:47,039
Speaker 11: If you are a Texas Tech fan, or YU fan

413
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,680
or Utah van, stop, listen to this right now.

414
00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 5: Share it with your friends.

415
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,039
Speaker 11: If YU loses to Texas Tech, they cannot be moved

416
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,359
behind Utah. If Texas Tech loses to BYU, they cannot

417
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,640
be moved by in Utah.

418
00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 5: So the very least what.

419
00:21:02,079 --> 00:21:04,599
Speaker 11: The Big twelve is looking at next week is still

420
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,079
having three top fifteen teams. There will not be a

421
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,880
lot of chaos no matter who wins or loses the game.

422
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:11,319
Speaker 3: In love it.

423
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,279
Speaker 11: That is great for this conference. On top of that,

424
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,039
Texas plays Georgia, They're going to lose. Oklahoma is going

425
00:21:19,079 --> 00:21:21,599
to lose. There are teams ahead of Utah. They're going

426
00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:25,279
to help BYU Texas Tech and the Utes all get in.

427
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:27,480
If you're looking for a best case scenario for three

428
00:21:27,559 --> 00:21:29,880
Big twelve teams to go to the College Football Playoff,

429
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:32,519
we just got that. With the respect the Committee is

430
00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:37,480
giving this conference that is huge, huge, this league three bits.

431
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 5: It's not a joke anymore.

432
00:21:38,519 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 11: It's not like, oh maybe like legitimately, Utah you're in.

00:22:15,839 --> 00:22:18,759
Drake tole host of Lockdown Big twelve. Drake, how you living?

449
00:22:20,079 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 7: Ben? I don't know who opened the segment here, but

450
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:23,960
whoever that guy was sounds hot.

451
00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:25,319
Speaker 11: I like him already.

452
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 3: This is this is good.

453
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 7: She keeps but she keep playing more of those audio clips.

454
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:34,839
Speaker 2: We'll keep playing all of his clips, Drake, why do

455
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,079
you believe the committee gave some love to the Big twelve?

456
00:22:39,079 --> 00:22:41,799
Speaker 3: What happened? What happened over the last few weeks.

457
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 7: Well, what's interesting is, for the first time, it feels

458
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,880
like committee is not using a an analytic from the

459
00:22:50,079 --> 00:22:53,279
ESPN that ultimately is more subjective than many people want

460
00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:56,680
to admit. Now, what's what's crazy, Ben, is to start

461
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:01,079
this year, Missouri had the twentieth rank strength of schedule

462
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,279
in the country and they were the lowest ranked SEC team.

463
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,279
Sixteen SEC teams got to be in the top twenty

464
00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:11,000
in strength of schedule coming into the year, So that

465
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,200
just means other metrics that we see are skewed based

466
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,759
on where we started. Of course, if you rank somebody

467
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,799
high to begin of the year and they end up sucking,

468
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:20,519
we're still going to give you credit in the SEC

469
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,079
for being that team that's ranked so high. So while

470
00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:25,400
you did say these metrics don't lie, the analytics don't lie,

471
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,279
The numbers don't lie. They do based on where we start,

472
00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:30,720
based on where ESPN puts it, you know, byused on

473
00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:33,880
the Top twenty and ESPN's FPI and Utah is knocking

474
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,759
down the door to be a top ten team. Obviously

475
00:23:35,799 --> 00:23:37,960
we cannot use those to decide who goes to the

476
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,680
College Football Playoffs. Well, the reason I think the committee

477
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:42,799
likes the Big twelve so much and that this was

478
00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:45,160
such a favorable move for the conference to have three

479
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,039
teams in the top thirteen is because the coaches on

480
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:51,599
the committee actually watched the games. They actually see the football,

481
00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:54,240
and given the idea that the committee is going to

482
00:23:54,279 --> 00:23:56,400
watch this year, the Big twelves in business.

483
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 3: They're in business, all right.

484
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,559
Speaker 2: One of the things that BYU fans have been debating

485
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,720
right is just how big this game really is. We

486
00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:08,839
went back and forth a little bit on this. On

487
00:24:08,839 --> 00:24:10,799
one hand, it's like, well, ba, you could lose this

488
00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:11,440
game and still.

489
00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 3: Get to the Big Twelve championship, so isn't that big.

490
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 2: On the other hand, if you win, you could lose

491
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,880
two more games and you're still in the Big Twelve Championship.

492
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:20,759
Speaker 3: Right.

493
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:22,559
Speaker 1: Right.

494
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 7: That's so here's the really tough part about the game

495
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,519
between YU and Texas Tech is, as much as I

496
00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:28,920
want to say it's the biggest game in the Big

497
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,920
twelve has had since Texas and oh you worst year,

498
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,400
the only problem with that is is the loser and

499
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,720
I mentioned that, you know in that clip, the loser

500
00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:39,000
is not going to move down that far. We're going

501
00:24:39,039 --> 00:24:41,000
to be in a fine spot as a conference. So

502
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,279
on the one hand, yeah, it's huge a top ten matchup,

503
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:45,880
and by you can in essence lock in a playoff

504
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,720
spot with a win against Texas Tech. At the same time,

505
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,240
with a loss, BYU can still lock in a playoff

506
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:55,160
spot against Texas Tech in the Big Twelve Championship. And

507
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,680
so if Tech loses, this becomes much different for the

508
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,799
Red Raiders and it means more for them. This game

509
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,640
has to mean more for them as far as getting

510
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,000
into the playoffs, going to the College Football Playoff via

511
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,960
the Big Twelve Championship. For BYU, though, this is your

512
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,160
meal ticket, this is your Willy Wonka Charlie Tough Factory,

513
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,119
whatever it is if you want to go to the

514
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,160
conference title this game, you basically booked yourself a ticket.

515
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,640
And for me, that makes it arguably the biggest BYU

516
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:21,440
game in history.

517
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,839
Speaker 2: It's pretty crazy to think of it that way. And

518
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,000
like from a scattering reports standpoint and what you see

519
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,880
from BYU and Texas TEK, how do you think these

520
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,000
two teams match up.

521
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 3: Head to head?

522
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 7: Well, I thought it was very funny that my friend

523
00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:39,359
Josh Pate comment on his show that BYU hasn't played

524
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,559
from behind it all this year and that the Cougars

525
00:25:43,559 --> 00:25:45,920
have never had to rely on the pass. Now, this

526
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,440
is a BYU team that is certainly run heavy, and man, look,

527
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,799
if you actually watched these games, if you actually watch

528
00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:57,039
the product YU has put out on the field the

529
00:25:57,079 --> 00:26:01,000
last few weeks, especially, they are they're prone to getting down.

530
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,559
They're prone to to you know, falling, especially in the

531
00:26:04,559 --> 00:26:07,279
first half, to coming to a slow start and then

532
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,000
finding a way to rally and get it done. What

533
00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:12,000
we know about this BYU team is they played really

534
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,640
well in the fourth quarter. And what we know about

535
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,519
this Texas Tech team is they played really well in

536
00:26:16,559 --> 00:26:19,440
the fourth quarter. Meaning to me, the old coach adage,

537
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,920
the coach speak is that the middle eight matters the most.

538
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,039
It's the last four minutes the first half, first four

539
00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:25,960
minutes of the second half you win, that you win

540
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,240
the ballgame. This week, I think you could outscore your

541
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,880
opponent fourteen to nothing in the middle eight and still

542
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,079
lose because it's the last ten. It's the last ten

543
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,319
that's going to matter the most. Between two teams that

544
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,880
play so well in the fourth quarter, BYU going on

545
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,200
to take a double digit lead against Utah rallying in

546
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,599
the fourth, or the Cougars rallying late in the game

547
00:26:44,599 --> 00:26:47,319
against Iowa Date without al J. Martin relying heavily on

548
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,839
the path only on the pass and Bear Bockmeyer to

549
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,759
win against Iowa State rallying from double digits down against

550
00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:56,519
Colorado as well, or Arizona. That's what BYU does. They

551
00:26:56,599 --> 00:26:59,119
rally and they win. Texas Tech could start ahead ten nothing,

552
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,119
Texas Tech could lead twenty to ten in the third quarter,

553
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,359
and b why you still win this game. That's where

554
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,559
I think this matchup gets so interesting, looking at two

555
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,720
teams that are impeccable when the fourth quarter rolls around.

556
00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, Drake, I've made the case today that the winner

557
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,039
of this game should move up at least three spots

558
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,680
in the college Football Playoff poll, and I think the

559
00:27:20,759 --> 00:27:24,000
loser should not drop below Notre Dame.

560
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:25,279
Speaker 3: Do you agree?

561
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 6: Disagree? Should that happen? Will that happen? Depending on the

562
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:30,720
result of the game.

563
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, because I watch football, of course I agree. You know,

564
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:37,119
that's the thing. And I just said, I hope the

565
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,200
committee watches football. That's a good take, that's the right take,

566
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,559
and I hope the committee agrees with that. But if

567
00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:46,160
they if they start to viewer away, somebody made this

568
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,559
point and it could come to fruition, and that's maybe

569
00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:51,880
they just ranked Utah so highly, ranked the Big twelve

570
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,720
so highly. Here in a few weeks they can say, oh,

571
00:27:53,759 --> 00:27:56,960
you had the Kopium, you were all over that Kochium, Like,

572
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,960
all right, man, we're hanging out, we feel good, we're

573
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,200
we're okay with not having teams at the bottom of

574
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,079
the top twenty five. And then they'll slap you in

575
00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:06,160
a few weeks by saying, oh, because there are no

576
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,119
team in the bottom of the top twenty five, you're

577
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,200
missing more key wins down the stretch. That's where I

578
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,359
think the Big twelve could could take a hit at

579
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,759
the end of this thing and in four or five weeks.

580
00:28:16,839 --> 00:28:20,680
So it is overall important to me that we understand

581
00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:24,599
if Texas Tech loses to Notre Dame, they're lost to

582
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,680
a top ten BYU team, should not knock them below

583
00:28:27,759 --> 00:28:29,880
Notre Dame. If Texas Tech loses, they shouldn't be locked

584
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,799
below Notre Dame. If BYU loses, they shouldn't be knocked

585
00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:35,799
below Oregon because they just lost on the road to

586
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,480
a top ten team. Oregon lost at home to a

587
00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:40,680
top ten team. And look at the strength of record,

588
00:28:40,839 --> 00:28:43,119
the way that BYU and Texas Tech have both been

589
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,759
able to win games. You can say, oh, well, BYU

590
00:28:45,799 --> 00:28:48,319
is not blowing anybody out. But BYU's winnings, they're doing

591
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,599
the winning thing. That's the one we're asking them to win,

592
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,680
and they are winning and against top twenty five opponents

593
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,839
as well. Texas Tech is winning and against top twenty

594
00:28:55,839 --> 00:28:58,880
five opponents as well. I think the Thread Raiders the

595
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,359
UYU Cougar should both be in the top ten next week,

596
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,640
no matter what happens. So that's again in the conversation

597
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,640
of this being a massive game to the Big twelve,

598
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,160
the loser should not be hurt by that much, and

599
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:10,839
that's the reprieve that I think helps this conference no

600
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:11,519
matter the result.

601
00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: On Saturday, I'm gonna give you my most hated stat

602
00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:16,119
of the day that I found out.

603
00:29:17,359 --> 00:29:19,599
Speaker 3: ESPN College Game Day stat of the Day.

604
00:29:19,799 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 2: B YU is zero and three all time and featured

605
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,200
on ESPN College Game Day Saturday and Loverpool mark the

606
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,319
fourth game in the in their history. Texas Tech is

607
00:29:29,359 --> 00:29:31,640
making its fifth appearance and they're one in three.

608
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 11: That sucks.

609
00:29:39,599 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 7: I think that's about as clear as I can give

610
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,039
you an analysis for that one. I mean that what

611
00:29:46,079 --> 00:29:49,640
that tells me is these are two schools that are

612
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,279
I mean, that's a lot number.

613
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,759
Speaker 3: Granted, granted, let me let me add to this stat.

614
00:29:53,839 --> 00:29:58,119
Speaker 2: The last time both of these teams were, respectively I

615
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,599
think featured. Let's see here, so the last time Game

616
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,720
Day was in Lubbock was two thousand and eight.

617
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:06,599
Speaker 3: I believe that.

618
00:30:06,279 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: Texas that Texas Texas Tech game, that Michael Krabtree game,

619
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,319
and then the last time i YU had Game Day

620
00:30:12,759 --> 00:30:14,359
in Provo was two thousand and nine. So I mean,

621
00:30:14,359 --> 00:30:17,599
it's been fifteen, sixteen plus years since the last time.

622
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:20,400
And what's crazy is they're kind of on the similar

623
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,000
trajectory when BYU was good. The last time BAU was

624
00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:27,680
really good, like consecutive over like a four year period,

625
00:30:28,599 --> 00:30:30,880
you know, you can say it was six to nine.

626
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,839
They were double digit wins every single year and they

627
00:30:34,839 --> 00:30:36,839
were ranked in the top twenty five every single year.

628
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 3: UH.

629
00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:40,319
Speaker 2: Texas Tech kind of had a similar deal going on

630
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,559
with Mike Leach and their uh their upward trajectory before

631
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,920
Mike Leach left was kicked out and BYU had to

632
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,079
go into independence. So now they could be the bells

633
00:30:52,079 --> 00:30:53,519
of the ball of the Big twelve.

634
00:30:53,599 --> 00:30:53,799
Speaker 6: Right.

635
00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, So with that stat it shows me that these

636
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,759
are two rules that when the spotlight is the brightest,

637
00:31:01,799 --> 00:31:04,200
they haven't played well. But honestly, the spotlight hasn't been

638
00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:07,920
very bright. Three times College Game Day, four times College Game.

639
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:08,519
Speaker 11: Day, whatever it is.

640
00:31:08,559 --> 00:31:11,119
Speaker 7: Again, there are SEC teams that will get that the

641
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,960
span of one year. And these are programs that in

642
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,599
their history aren't getting the marquee matchups, aren't getting the

643
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,079
spotlight of the nation. And so this is the changing

644
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,559
of the guard in the Big twelve and in college

645
00:31:24,599 --> 00:31:29,000
football there are new bloods who are establishing dominance year

646
00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:32,400
over year. BYU and Texas Tech will be those brands

647
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,880
for this conference because of their willingness to spend and

648
00:31:37,079 --> 00:31:42,119
not forfeit culture. That is the caveat ten States. Spending money,

649
00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:45,400
they're losing. You're seeing across the way at LSU, they're

650
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,000
spending money, they're losing. Auburn spending, they're lose.

651
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 11: The culture of Texas Tech and BYU is it's going

652
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,039
to keep them at the forefront of college athletics and

653
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,240
keep them winning big games.

654
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 7: I mean this year BYU had big newon kickoffs and

655
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,920
beat Utah. Texas Tech big noon kickoff and beat Utah.

656
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,680
The thing that I need people to understand this is

657
00:32:03,759 --> 00:32:08,279
maybe my favorite point to make for decades. Texas Tech

658
00:32:08,279 --> 00:32:08,920
and BYU.

659
00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:13,079
Speaker 11: We're taking two and three star guys from Logan, Utah,

660
00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:17,000
from Loveth Coronado, bringing them into the program and making

661
00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:21,160
them four and five star college football players. These universities

662
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,680
are known for culture and development. You take those same guys,

663
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,240
those same guys developing players that were two stars, and

664
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:30,279
now you give them four and five stars.

665
00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 7: You're creating a monster. You're creating NFL talent that these

666
00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:37,440
schools have not dreamed of yet because of the access

667
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,960
they're getting to young stars who are much better than

668
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,279
the talent pool that they're used to. This is the

669
00:32:42,319 --> 00:32:45,039
new era of college football where schools like DYU and

670
00:32:45,119 --> 00:32:48,200
Texas Tech who can invest with development and culture can

671
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,400
succeed at the highest level.

672
00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:53,839
Speaker 2: Drake tole lockdown, Big Twelve, Big twelve insider talking some

673
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,960
college football here on your Utah ESPN Radio network, and Drake,

674
00:33:00,759 --> 00:33:01,200
let me.

675
00:33:01,119 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 3: Ask you this.

676
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so obviously the Big Ten and SEC are the

677
00:33:06,599 --> 00:33:11,359
big the big kids on the block. Right, It's always

678
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,119
been like a SC and the Big twelve have been

679
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,119
pitted against each other.

680
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,359
Speaker 3: Is who's the P three?

681
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: Are we seeing a greater visibility about who that P

682
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,960
three is that that third ranked conference is.

683
00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 7: There is a serious conversation happening right now about whether

684
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,640
or not the ACC will make it into the college

685
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,839
football Playoff. We are a few key losses away at

686
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,599
the top of their conference and a few good wins

687
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,440
from the San Diego State, from a North Texas, from

688
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,839
a Navy to se mean, if Navy beats.

689
00:33:40,599 --> 00:33:42,759
Speaker 11: Notre Dame, this is real. I don't think Navy will

690
00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:43,880
bet Notre Dame. But consider this.

691
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,599
Speaker 7: The number one team in.

692
00:33:45,599 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 11: The ACC right now in the polls is Virginia I mean,

693
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:54,319
you're you're coming to a gunfight with Virginia.

694
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,319
Speaker 3: You can't do that.

695
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 7: This is not this is not what we what we

696
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,480
do to build brands in college football. The AEC needed

697
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,359
the success of Miami and Clemson in Florida State to

698
00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:05,400
stay afloat at the top of the sport and still

699
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,440
have these conversations about them being legitimate. And now without

700
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:14,000
those brands, now looking at Louisville, Virginia and Georgia Tech

701
00:34:14,079 --> 00:34:16,800
flipping up, I just still think me in those schools

702
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,840
are losing to NC State, of all people, I just

703
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,880
do not think where we said that the big twelve

704
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,719
in the ACC are comparable. One of these leagues has

705
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,320
three teams in the top thirteam and an opportunity to

706
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,920
get three teams in the College football playoffs. The other

707
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,480
league is looking at a couple of savvy wins from

708
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,519
San Diego State, and they might be out of the

709
00:34:36,519 --> 00:34:39,719
playoff picture altogether because again it's the top five highest

710
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,199
ranked conference champions.

711
00:34:41,519 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 11: If Memphis wins the conference championship, if San Diego State

712
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,920
wins the conference championship, there's a real conversation about them

713
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,119
getting in over a three lost ACC champion.

714
00:34:51,559 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 3: Drake.

715
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 2: This team is led by Bear Bachmeyer, and I wonder

716
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,280
you're gonna appreciate this. This Baya football team led by

717
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:05,159
Bear Bachbuyer. Texas Tech is led by Baron Morton. Has

718
00:35:05,199 --> 00:35:09,639
there ever been a time that two quarterbacks named Bear

719
00:35:10,559 --> 00:35:14,400
have had had you know, you know, combated on the

720
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,039
grid iron against each other?

721
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,079
Speaker 7: You know, I think specifically we need to take a

722
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:22,400
look at one of these quarters is seventeen years old

723
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,239
and the other is twenty six. I think that may

724
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,280
be the real storyline.

725
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 3: It's weird six.

726
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 7: I mean, he's much closer to twenty six than dear

727
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,199
Buckmeyer is to like thirteen, and and there's something to

728
00:35:35,199 --> 00:35:35,519
be said.

729
00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:36,519
Speaker 11: This is like a cam.

730
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,599
Speaker 7: Rising situation that we all forgot about it a little

731
00:35:38,639 --> 00:35:40,760
bit when no one's making I think I graduated high

732
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,440
school the same year as Baron Morton, and we just

733
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,039
left that by the wayside. It is this quarterback matchup, though.

734
00:35:47,079 --> 00:35:50,519
If Morton is healthy, is so great. And when I

735
00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:53,440
tell you ever play you did? I know everybody did.

736
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,360
When you play Mario and and you get the star

737
00:35:56,599 --> 00:35:59,280
when you're you're zooming through there, whether it's you know,

738
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,719
just straight up the Mario Karp and you pick up

739
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,639
the Star and then bam, you're going twice as fast.

740
00:36:04,159 --> 00:36:07,559
I am so excited to see bear Backmeyer off a

741
00:36:07,599 --> 00:36:10,960
bye week. He just got his Mario Star. The dude

742
00:36:11,079 --> 00:36:13,760
was banged up, beat up. BYU asked him to be

743
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,239
the entire offense in that game against Iowa State, And

744
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,119
now we get to see bear Bachmeyer on on ten

745
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,599
twelve days rest. That's that's an animal I don't want

746
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:26,400
to mess with. And Texas Tech is playing its sixth

747
00:36:26,519 --> 00:36:31,119
consecutive game. No one is talking enough outside of local

748
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:33,960
media about how BYU is well rested and Texas Tech

749
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,719
is not. If we weren't talking about all BYU's banged

750
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,320
up interest, Oh, let me introduce you to Texas Tech,

751
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,519
who keeps playing games weekend, week out.

752
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:42,559
Speaker 9: They need a breather.

753
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 7: BYU is not going to give them a breather.

754
00:36:46,039 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 3: So give me a score prediction or do you you

755
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,039
got something here?

756
00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 6: Well, I do have something, Go ahead. So BYU is

757
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,239
manifestly different on the road than they are at home

758
00:36:55,679 --> 00:36:58,320
in the way that they play games. They've got two

759
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,360
score deficits on the road. In all three road games

760
00:37:01,599 --> 00:37:04,039
they've trailed for a total of two minutes and fifty

761
00:37:04,079 --> 00:37:08,119
six seconds at home all year. Now, if BYU falls

762
00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:11,519
down like they have on the road, is there a

763
00:37:11,559 --> 00:37:13,320
way B why you can come back as they have

764
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,280
been before?

765
00:37:15,519 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 7: The certainly there certainly is, And I've mentioned this on

766
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,480
my show quite a bit. I believe you know Texas

767
00:37:21,559 --> 00:37:23,119
Tech analytically.

768
00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 11: Has a bottom twenty five rushing attack in college football

769
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,840
from an EPA standpoint, They're a very inefficient rushing offense.

770
00:37:30,119 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 7: A lot of the rush yards this year have come

771
00:37:33,159 --> 00:37:35,480
later in games. If you really take a deep, deep

772
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,559
look at how Texas Tech has built fairly gaudy run staffs.

773
00:37:39,559 --> 00:37:41,480
They've got that two hit of monster running back that

774
00:37:41,519 --> 00:37:43,800
I think will ultimately help them run the ball to

775
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,400
an extent. But BYU's rush defense is so good. Their

776
00:37:46,519 --> 00:37:49,360
their linebacker corps is so strong that I think the

777
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,719
opportunity for BYU to win this game will be coming

778
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,760
back from down twenty to ten. It will be forcing

779
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,960
Baron Morton into two turnovers. If BYU can turn Baron

780
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,719
Morton over to the third or fourth quarter.

781
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 11: And I've seen.

782
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,159
Speaker 7: Versions of Baron Morton that are turnover pro and he

783
00:38:04,159 --> 00:38:05,960
has not shown that as much of this season. But

784
00:38:06,039 --> 00:38:08,039
I've seen it with my own two eyes, namely in

785
00:38:08,039 --> 00:38:10,400
a few matchups against Baylor, where I think, ma'am, if

786
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,880
he settled back into old school Bear and Morton, I'm

787
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,760
gonna give you the football. That's where BYU comes back.

788
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,159
They're going to need turnovers. And you saw the Utah game.

789
00:38:20,199 --> 00:38:23,559
From muff punts to interceptions, that's what helped BYU come

790
00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:25,760
back when they needed a rally and help BYU sustain

791
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,119
a lead late. It will be the case.

792
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,599
Speaker 11: For the Cougars that they're going to win in comeback fashions.

793
00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 2: So score prediction b YU obviously a heavy dog here

794
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,559
ten and a half. ESPN Analytics also gives Texas Tech

795
00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:40,679
a sixty point nine percent chance of victory over Under

796
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,159
is at fifty two and a half.

797
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,119
Speaker 3: How do you see it?

798
00:38:44,599 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 7: You know, I have gone so back and forth on this.

799
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,280
I started the week at twenty seven to twenty four

800
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,199
Texas Tech winning at home, and then I think that's

801
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,800
too many. I think it's too high scoring. The way

802
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,840
I see this game unfolding is Tech getting up thirteen

803
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,840
to three somewhere in that category, and we see this finish.

804
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,920
I mean, Will Farren just comes alive and becomes a

805
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,920
man amongst boys. We see this game finish in the

806
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,320
seventeen in the eighteen to sixteen category b YU winning

807
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,360
by two. I think it'll be a slug fest. It'll

808
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,840
be ugly. Get your field goal team out there. Forget

809
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,400
the look. If I can tell Kyle Whittingham one thing

810
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,880
right now, it's forget the analytics. Just kick the ball

811
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,239
and this weekend that should be the name of the

812
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,320
game for these two teams. Kick the ball when you get,

813
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,679
when you're giving the opportunity. Eighteen sixteen BYU wins and

814
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,159
one of the grossest, ugliest, low scoring games. Texas Tech

815
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,840
drops maybe one spot in the polls, UYU comes up

816
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,559
a spot or two in the polls, and the Big

817
00:39:38,559 --> 00:39:40,119
twelve is still sitting pretty come Monday.

818
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 2: Best way to support to you what you do, how

819
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,199
you do it, Drake Toll for all of our listeners.

820
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,119
Speaker 7: Yep at Lockdown, Big twelve wherever you find your podcast

821
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,400
and on YouTube at Big twelve. On Twitter, you know,

822
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,440
Ben I was logged out for some reason of my

823
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,679
at Drake c tole Twitter accounts for like four days

824
00:39:54,679 --> 00:39:55,519
and no one said anything.

825
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,559
Speaker 11: There are no wellness checks, there are no I mean

826
00:39:58,039 --> 00:40:00,000
are the tweets that bad? Is it really that bad?

827
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:02,079
Speaker 3: Followed Drake C.

828
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 2: Toll for all of his personal comments and Savannah Banana commentary.

829
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,599
This is the best stuff for the party animals, and

830
00:40:10,639 --> 00:40:14,960
the Savannah Bananas is a broadcaster for them. But everyone

If you're you've been told you need a filling, a crown,

864
00:41:32,599 --> 00:41:34,440
a root canal, all I'm asking you to do is

865
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,360
get a second opinion a dental prose of Utah. They

866
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,159
utilize biommetic dental care. This is mentally invasive dental care

867
00:41:40,199 --> 00:41:42,840

you've been in that situation where you get the filling

870
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,320
done and you still have too sensitivity, and then you

871
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,239
go back in and they tell you, oh, you got

872
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,920
a crack tooth. We're gonna have to do a little

873
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,360
crown on that action, and then that crown turns into

874
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:57,360
an eventual root canal.

875
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:58,920

876

Speaker 3: Uh.

935
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,159
Speaker 12: Super happy for you guys. How is this possible? You

936
00:44:42,199 --> 00:44:44,800
guys knocked off Baylor last night, knocked off the number

937
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,320
one seed two days before that and now you're in

938
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:48,119
the championship.

939
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,119
Speaker 13: I know it's exciting, especially like all the hard work

940
00:44:52,159 --> 00:44:55,079
that we have put on put in this season on

941
00:44:55,159 --> 00:44:57,599
and off the field, like it's finally coming to light

942
00:44:57,639 --> 00:44:59,360
and I think we're peaking at the right time. So

943
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,000
it's just it's a really really exciting moment for us.

944
00:45:02,599 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 12: Please take me through you know, the mindset of his team. Obviously,

945
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,400
you guys were number eight. You battled injuries this season

946
00:45:09,519 --> 00:45:12,360
as everybody does up and down. But we know what

947
00:45:12,519 --> 00:45:15,559
BYU women in soccer is, you guys are never an underdog.

948
00:45:15,639 --> 00:45:17,639
And I think the world might have been shocked when

949
00:45:17,639 --> 00:45:20,920
they said, oh, number eight seed upsets number one. Tc

950
00:45:21,079 --> 00:45:22,480
was like, that's not upset to me. I mean, this

951
00:45:22,519 --> 00:45:25,280
team's talented, bro Like, look at the pedaly of this team.

952
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,679
There's no upset when it comes to by women soccer,

953
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:28,639
it's always dubs.

954
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 13: Oh absolutely. And the funny thing is, like we knew,

955
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,440
like we're not an eight seed obviously, just as much

956
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,480
as Kansas probably is in a seventh seed and we're

957
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,400
playing them in the final. But you know, our biggest

958
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,440
thing coming into the match, especially against TCU and especially

959
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,880
against Baylor, was having that underdog mentality was saying, we

960
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,639
have nothing to lose, we have everything to gain from

961
00:45:49,639 --> 00:45:52,039
that situation. And if we just go in with that

962
00:45:52,119 --> 00:45:56,760
defensive mentality, you know, hunting every every ball, first to

963
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,519
the ball first and second to the ball, and then

964
00:45:59,559 --> 00:46:03,239
having that attacking mindset, getting shots off, taking on players,

965
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,199
being aggressive in the attacking third. And we did exactly that.

966
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,840
We followed our game plan and you know it came

967
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,119
with a great result.

968
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 12: If you don't mind give me a little insight what

969
00:46:13,199 --> 00:46:15,639
was the game plan against Baylor? But mind you to

970
00:46:15,639 --> 00:46:18,840
give fans contact. You guys played them earlier, had the lead,

971
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,760
know it slipped away, but you got your get back.

972
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

973
00:46:22,599 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 13: No, that again, defensive mentality, like that was our biggest

974
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,320
thing going into this game. Was like we knew if

975
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,320
we went in hard, especially those first ten fifteen minutes,

976
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,079
defensively making sure they don't get a show off, you know,

977
00:46:34,159 --> 00:46:37,440
hunting down every single ball, doubling down on players first

978
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,400
and second, balls out of the air. We knew that

979
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,000
if we could set the tone off defensively, then everything

980
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,679
else will come and flow. And that's exactly what happened.

981
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,599
So props to my team. They did an amazing job

982
00:46:47,639 --> 00:46:50,320
our back line, Chelsea, everybody you know stepped up big

983
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,079
and even players coming off the bench. Everybody fulfilled their

984
00:46:53,159 --> 00:46:54,320
role to the max.

985
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,559
Speaker 12: You said her name, I was going to bring her

986
00:46:56,639 --> 00:47:00,440
up next, Chelsea Peterson. Please tell me a little bit

987
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,719
more about Chelsea. This was someone and we talked to

988
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,360
Ellie a few days ago. I mean, looked like she

989
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,000
was done with soccer. And then obviously Peyton goes down

990
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,280
with an injury. You know now per Jerrem Jordan heard that.

991
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,039
You know, she's out with the season with ACL We

992
00:47:14,039 --> 00:47:17,079
wish Payton a speedy recovery, and then next thing you know,

993
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,239
Chelsea steps in, has to play the rest of the

994
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:19,920
Utah game.

995
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 5: TCU shuts out Baylor, and I'm.

996
00:47:22,639 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 12: Like, man, it's just you guys got depth right there

997
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:26,159
in that in that goal.

998
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,199
Speaker 13: Yeah, and I'm sure you've heard Chelsea's story, like it's

999
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,119
an insane story, it's an awesome story. And the fact

1000
00:47:34,119 --> 00:47:36,480
that she's been able to come in and still set

1001
00:47:36,519 --> 00:47:39,400
the tone very high. You know, get that shut out

1002
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,880
against Baylor, which is huge. Even against TCU, came out

1003
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,559
big time, really big saves, Like we couldn't be happier

1004
00:47:46,599 --> 00:47:48,920
with her, And I think you know, one game after

1005
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,400
another is just leading to her confidence. It's getting back

1006
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,440
into you know, how she once played as a cool keeper.

1007
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,320
You know she's doing out of the game for a while,

1008
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:57,840
but it doesn't look like it. And it's just been

1009
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,559
awesome to see her thrive in that role.

1010
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 12: What has made Ellie Wallbrook so great in this turn

1011
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,000
and run specifically, we know what she's capable of, but

1012
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,320
Ellie's been on one back to back games of braces.

1013
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,199
Speaker 13: One thing I can say about Ellie and I feed this,

1014
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,440
I feed off of her, for this is like her

1015
00:48:13,519 --> 00:48:15,679
just mentality to be a dog on the field.

1016
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,119
Speaker 9: Like every every.

1017
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 13: Single time, even before a game, she's coming up to

1018
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,840
me and she's like, let's freaking go, Like let's be dogs,

1019
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,079
Like let's just get after it. And like when somebody

1020
00:48:24,079 --> 00:48:26,840
has that kind of personality, it feeds off of everybody else.

1021
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,199
It gets everybody else hyped and going. And like it

1022
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,000
shows when she plays like she's one of the most

1023
00:48:31,039 --> 00:48:33,280
dangerous players on her team when she gets that ball

1024
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,199
at her feet, like good luck to the opposing goalkeeper.

1025
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 4: You know.

1026
00:48:36,599 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 13: So it's just been awesome to see your back on

1027
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,760
that field and really thriving and you know, you would

1028
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,400
never think she had been through a major injury like

1029
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:44,199
in ACL.

1030
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 12: No, she wasn't. She was named All Big Twelve first team.

1031
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,719
That's an accomplishment as well. But you and yourself, you know,

1032
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,000
let's not take away. I know this is what players

1033
00:48:55,039 --> 00:48:57,039
will do. They'll talk about their team is rightfully so,

1034
00:48:57,679 --> 00:48:59,840
and but we got to talk about you too. You

1035
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,280
battled some some injuries this season. Take us through the

1036
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,239
Utah goal, and I believe you. I don't know if

1037
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,039
you had an assist in the Baylor game, but you

1038
00:49:08,119 --> 00:49:10,480
set up someone in the eighteen narrow box as well.

1039
00:49:11,639 --> 00:49:18,599
Speaker 13: Yeah, so that Utah goal. Like again, defense mentality feels

1040
00:49:18,599 --> 00:49:21,320
our offensive mentality. And I think that game we were

1041
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,119
shutting Utah down and it was just giving us some

1042
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,880
flow in the attacking third. And when I got the ball,

1043
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,760
I saw it was a one bi one opportunity and

1044
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,679
I just you know, went after it and it resulted

1045
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,880
in that goal. And obviously I couldn't have done that

1046
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,920
without my teammates. So all the prop to them.

1047
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,599
Speaker 5: What is made your b YU experience?

1048
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,159
Speaker 12: And I'll let you sound off on it whatever way

1049
00:49:43,199 --> 00:49:46,800
you feel, but what's made it so great? You at UCLA,

1050
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,840
could have stayed, could have gone anywhere else in the country, right,

1051
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,719
we know the nature of the trans reporter.

1052
00:49:52,599 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 5: In I yale, I'm and I'm not trying to get

1053
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:55,039
you in trouble, you.

1054
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,039
Speaker 12: Know that, Mac, But you chose to talk to buy

1055
00:49:57,119 --> 00:49:58,920
You're you're not a member of the faith, like, no,

1056
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,480
I'm serious, and I'll and so you know, astounded when

1057
00:50:02,639 --> 00:50:04,519
players like you and people like yourself coming to be you

1058
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,960
and you thrive in the culture and you.

1059
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:07,679
Speaker 5: Fit in so well.

1060
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think the biggest thing that kind of drove

1061
00:50:12,519 --> 00:50:17,079
me to Coda to BYU was, uh, honestly their faith.

1062
00:50:17,199 --> 00:50:21,199
Like everybody is extremely driven here. You know, they don't

1063
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,920
let outside distractions get in the way of anything. And

1064
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,639
I really wanted to put myself into an environment where

1065
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,840
I could find the love of the sport again, fall

1066
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,440
back in love with soccer, fall in love with you know,

1067
00:50:32,599 --> 00:50:35,639
just playing soccer again is really the biggest thing. And

1068
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,679
you know, when you're surrounded by such great people with

1069
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,440
such great morals, like it's hard to say no to

1070
00:50:40,199 --> 00:50:43,840
a culture like that. And so I knew the best

1071
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,960
way to get one hundred percent of MAC was to

1072
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,079
be put into an environment like that and BYU has that,

1073
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,000
so that was that was the big reason.

1074
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, b YU is is different.

1075
00:50:55,519 --> 00:50:57,679
Speaker 12: And it's one of I've heard one of the greatest

1076
00:50:57,679 --> 00:50:59,760
places you know on Earth from people and to see

1077
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,800
that you've been able to thrive in and just remind people.

1078
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,079
You know, Mac play to UCLA from twenty twenty to

1079
00:51:05,119 --> 00:51:08,719
twenty twenty three, planning twenty games Italian, two goals, three

1080
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,000
or sists and eighteen shots and when you think of Ucla,

1081
00:51:12,079 --> 00:51:15,679
we know the pedigree that Ucla soccer has no secret

1082
00:51:16,039 --> 00:51:19,199
there at all. Mac, what do you want your soccer legacy?

1083
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,079
I guess as a whole inness you finish up your

1084
00:51:21,119 --> 00:51:22,880
career at BYU to do I know you got one

1085
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,559
more game you plan on playing professionally?

1086
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,599
Speaker 13: Uh yeah, I think you know. With my legacy, I

1087
00:51:30,639 --> 00:51:34,039
just want people to be them. Like if you're especially

1088
00:51:34,079 --> 00:51:35,800
when it comes to the technical side of the game,

1089
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,679
if you're somebody who takes people on one b one,

1090
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,840
have the confidence to go one be one at people

1091
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:44,239
like I can't rave that enough. Like, don't shy away

1092
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,400
from who you are as a player on and off

1093
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,039
the field, especially on that field, Like when you get

1094
00:51:49,039 --> 00:51:51,400
those opportunities go at them if you make mistakes.

1095
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 3: Guess what failure?

1096
00:51:52,599 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 13: Failure is part of success, Like you have to fail

1097
00:51:55,039 --> 00:51:57,440
to succeed in life, and you just learn from those

1098
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,840
mistakes and you just keep going at them because eventually,

1099
00:52:00,159 --> 00:52:02,679
one day you'll be sitting at a place like I am,

1100
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,039
Like my teammates are going to the Big Twelve Championship

1101
00:52:05,039 --> 00:52:08,159
because none of us are regretful for anything that we've

1102
00:52:08,159 --> 00:52:09,840
done on that field. We just give it our all,

1103
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,239
and you know, the outcome is the outcome.

1104
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 12: You gotta be able to work hard, and you know

1105
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,519
when you work hard, obviously you'll be blessing. You guys

1106
00:52:18,559 --> 00:52:19,920
have been blessed. I want to ask this. I know

1107
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,960
you played basketball growing up. How did basketball I don't

1108
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,840
think if I asked you this, how did basketball help you

1109
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:25,360
with soccer?

1110
00:52:26,559 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 13: Honestly, this is funny because my problem with basketball was

1111
00:52:30,039 --> 00:52:32,360
I would foul out within the first, you know, ten

1112
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:37,079
fifty minutes of that game. But no, honestly, playing any

1113
00:52:37,079 --> 00:52:40,400
other sport besides soccer growing up has been huge and

1114
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,159
reflecting towards how I'm able to play in soccer. Like

1115
00:52:43,199 --> 00:52:46,079
I think, it just makes you a much more valuable player,

1116
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,480
a much more athletic player, and basketball definitely brought out

1117
00:52:50,519 --> 00:52:53,480
the aggressiveness in me, and you know, I could translate

1118
00:52:53,519 --> 00:52:55,760
that into soccer. I also think, you know, quick feet moving,

1119
00:52:56,079 --> 00:52:58,480
moving your feet around also helps a lot when it

1120
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,039
comes to soccer. But yeah, I love playing basketball. Growing

1121
00:53:01,119 --> 00:53:02,760
up is fun for sure.

1122
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,039
Speaker 12: Do you have a favorite basketball player in the w NBA?

1123
00:53:06,159 --> 00:53:07,360
Is there something you keep eye on?

1124
00:53:08,599 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 13: Oh my gosh, I honestly don't watch this b That's okay.

1125
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,199
Speaker 4: I'm more of a basketball fan.

1126
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:17,679
Speaker 5: You know, I'm a Curry fan.

1127
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 13: At that man's awesome. So yeah, if I had to

1128
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,039
lean towards a favorite basketball player, would definitely be Curry.

1129
00:53:25,599 --> 00:53:26,559
Speaker 5: He's second to none.

1130
00:53:26,559 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 12: And then that conditioning is I wouldn't want to chase

1131
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,280
that man or you on the pitch. By No, I'm

1132
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,599
not in condition like that. Those days are behind me.

1133
00:53:34,639 --> 00:53:36,960
I'm no longer in my young twenties. I'm closer to

1134
00:53:37,039 --> 00:53:39,320
thirty and I have a little one, So hopefully she'll

1135
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,159
get me back in shape. Is she's starting to walk

1136
00:53:41,199 --> 00:53:44,840
now here with mckensey Vans on esp and the F

1137
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,880
I know, I always talk to Gin because she's come

1138
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:49,679
to a few games, and I'm like, look, in the

1139
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:51,599
next year to him to start to need the programs

1140
00:53:51,599 --> 00:53:54,599
here in Utah. Gotta start pitching the pitch. I've told

1141
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:56,880
Ellie as well, I look, where do I need to

1142
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,239
put her? Align her so you know she can be

1143
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,199
a future player. Dad wasn't an athlete, but you know,

1144
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,280
let's invest in the you know, the daughter. Me and

1145
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:05,880
mom are like, hey, let's get her on the pitch

1146
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,480
because we we're not those people. She's not very tall,

1147
00:54:08,519 --> 00:54:09,880
but I'm like, you, look, you don't have to be

1148
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,559
tall in soccer. I'm about five six, five seven, so

1149
00:54:12,599 --> 00:54:16,960
it wasn't blessed with Yeah right, anyway, listen, yeah, anyway,

1150
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:17,960
get back to you.

1151
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 5: You said. I also know you're a huge food group.

1152
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 12: Okay, so I need you to evaluate the food as

1153
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,159
you've been down there in Texas.

1154
00:54:25,159 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 5: What's been the best so far?

1155
00:54:28,159 --> 00:54:31,519
Speaker 13: Honestly, we've been having this chain called flower Child.

1156
00:54:32,039 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 9: Have you heard of it?

1157
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 5: I have not.

1158
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 13: Okay, it is phenomenal. They have one in Salt Lake

1159
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,320
that I've been to a couple of times, but that

1160
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,039
has been my favorite meal so far.

1161
00:54:42,159 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 7: Here.

1162
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,519
Speaker 13: You know, you get chicken, her steak, and then you

1163
00:54:44,519 --> 00:54:46,400
can get a side of like broccoli or mac and

1164
00:54:46,519 --> 00:54:49,880
cheese or sweet potatoes, and that's honestly been really good.

1165
00:54:50,039 --> 00:54:52,480
I know today we have a really exciting adventure. We're

1166
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,559
going to BUCkies. A lot of people haven't been to

1167
00:54:54,559 --> 00:54:59,519
BUCkies before, so everybody is craving that BUCkies right now,

1168
00:54:59,639 --> 00:55:00,719
so that will be fun.

1169
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,760
Speaker 12: Look, I don't want to ruin anything for you, but

1170
00:55:04,039 --> 00:55:05,440
I'm a mazing BUCkies.

1171
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:06,519
Speaker 5: I love me some BUCkies.

1172
00:55:06,519 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 12: So I'll just let you experience that and then maybe

1173
00:55:09,519 --> 00:55:11,159
ketch up with you at a different point and let

1174
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:12,320
you give me your evaluation.

1175
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:13,519
Speaker 5: I know my thoughts.

1176
00:55:14,199 --> 00:55:16,039
Speaker 13: Okay, I definitely I'll let you know.

1177
00:55:16,519 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 12: Definitely on BUCkies. Kay, let's finish up. You can get

1178
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,239
you out of here. On a couple of things, you

1179
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,800
guys take on Kansas. Now, obviously you're familiar with them,

1180
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,519
played them earlier, didn't go your way.

1181
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 5: I feel like this is just a big twelve tournament

1182
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,760
revenge tour. You just had a chance to get everybody.

1183
00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:32,360
You go get them tomorrow. Well, give us a scott

1184
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:33,719
and report on Kansas.

1185
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 13: Obviously, Kansas is a really talented team. They're a little

1186
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,039
bit more direct, they have a little bit of a

1187
00:55:41,079 --> 00:55:45,000
sweeper style. Defensively, nothing we haven't seen before obviously, and

1188
00:55:45,079 --> 00:55:47,920
again if we set that tone defensively and then just

1189
00:55:48,079 --> 00:55:52,800
be free and flowing in the attacking third and just

1190
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:54,960
doing what we do best. You know, I think I

1191
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000
think we have this in the bag, and especially when

1192
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,800
it comes down to our hard work and our grit.

1193
00:55:59,039 --> 00:56:01,719
You know, I think you've seen in the TCU game,

1194
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,079
the Baylor game, we're not backing down. And you know

1195
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,159
this is only the start at the beginning. We have

1196
00:56:06,199 --> 00:56:08,639
the NCAA Tournament coming up too, and I just think,

1197
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,480
you know, every team should watch out because we have

1198
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,800
a little chip on our shoulder and we're coming for everybody,

1199
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,639
and we know we all have the talent and belief

1200
00:56:14,639 --> 00:56:15,639
in each other to do it.

1201
00:56:16,039 --> 00:56:18,039
Speaker 12: I love how you're talking and talking walk on the

1202
00:56:18,079 --> 00:56:20,800
walk man, to see you guys like no, like, I

1203
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,480
honestly feel like I've watched you know, most of these games.

1204
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,119
Obviously the show goes as we're doing, you know, doing

1205
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,760
the show live and everything. There's some moments where we're

1206
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,880
not able to watch everything, so trying to stay tuned

1207
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:36,400
in and man like Ellie's goals, Uh, just seeing everybody

1208
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:41,000
likes so locked in and I can't I wish that

1209
00:56:41,079 --> 00:56:43,480
I could be on the sideline and not watching on

1210
00:56:43,599 --> 00:56:47,039
my you know device tomorrow because I think I think

1211
00:56:47,079 --> 00:56:48,880
you guys are gonna rectify you know, two years ago.

1212
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,480
I think the Big twelve title is coming back to

1213
00:56:51,599 --> 00:56:54,159
Provo YouTube. I think Ellie Wahbrook's gonna take that MVP

1214
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:55,719
of the tournament back as well.

1215
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,599
Speaker 13: Yeah. Absolutely, I couldn't agree more.

1216
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 12: What would that mean to you? We'll get you out

1217
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:03,840
of here on this mac. What would that mean to

1218
00:57:04,639 --> 00:57:07,320
end the be what in your soccer career? And what

1219
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,280
I mean not because you still got a tournament play

1220
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,639
of the NCAA, but in conference play with the conference

1221
00:57:11,679 --> 00:57:14,320
championship title for you, it.

1222
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,679
Speaker 13: Would mean everything to me. I mean, it would just

1223
00:57:16,679 --> 00:57:19,119
justify all the hard work my team has put into this.

1224
00:57:19,639 --> 00:57:22,880
You know, obviously, our season's been rocky and we've just

1225
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,960
been constantly grinding and fighting and we all know what

1226
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:29,159
we deserve and we know how to get there, and

1227
00:57:29,239 --> 00:57:31,800
so you know, winning this championship would just, you know,

1228
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:33,800
justify all the hard work that we've put.

1229
00:57:33,639 --> 00:57:37,880
