Those things happen. But at 85 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,439 the end of the day, BYU has a great opportunity 86 00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:34,560 to pop touch the bowl is not a consolation prize. 87 00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: Not a consolation prize.

I 92 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,439 would like to think that that is. That is it 93 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,719 is the most popular bowl already. That's not a college 94 00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:57,080 football playoff bol it already is. I don't think it's becoming. 95 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,719 I think it already is.

It was actually the 122 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,360 first Bowl game that I ever played in as a 123 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,519 player when it was the Carquest Bowl back in nineteen 124 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,759 ninety seven in Miami. It just changed from the Blockbuster 125 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,399 Bowl to the Park West Bowl. So we played West 126 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,959 Virginia in the game, had a really good game and 127 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,279 it really they held us in onto the off season 128 00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:28,000 in the next year. 129 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,879 Speaker 5: But a lot of good memories there. 130 00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 6: Really really excited to play b Why you what a 131 00:05:32,519 --> 00:05:37,399 great team, you know, great coach who's done unbelievable job. 132 00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:40,040 I've only had a pleasure of meeting one time once 133 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,920 or twice and just can't say enough great things about 134 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,879 him and the program, what they've done and the year 135 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,120 they've had. And I think now standing matchup two really 136 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,959 good teams, but also two teams and I think go 137 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000 about doing things the right way and have new high values, 138 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,120 high character. I want to play with toughness, discipline. So 139 00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:03,720 this should be a really really good football game. Excited 140 00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:06,720 to get into Orlando, get things rolling here. 141 00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 2: All right, that's his open statement. I want to stop 142 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,240 it there. Love that. 143 00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 3: First of all, brin Key, you know, gets a new 144 00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:18,319 five year deal through twenty thirty that was announced to 145 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,519 what about two and a half weeks ago, maybe three 146 00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:22,680 weeks ago at the beginning right after December, So he 147 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,160 gets a five new year Georgia check approved that deal. 148 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,000 So he's gonna be with Georgia Tech for a minute. 149 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,439 Shout out to him on what he's accomplished this season, 150 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:33,600 hangs King is no quarterback to be taken lightly. They 151 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,800 played Georgia very close. They've had a great season, and 152 00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:38,759 his wife got married in Orlando. People might not know 153 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,680 he has ties to Orlando. When he was at UCF, 154 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,600 he was a tight ends coach O line I believe 155 00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:46,319 coach as well an assistant head coach. I mean even 156 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,600 you know, I think the O C so he had 157 00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:50,959 various roles while he was at UCF, so he's very 158 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,360 familiar with Orlando. And then he gave some history of 159 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,199 Georgia chech. It's the third time that they're going to 160 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,120 play in this particular ball game. It was changed to 161 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,519 the you know, the Carquest Bowl in nineteen ninety seven, 162 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,120 so he's played in this bowl game and coaching it, 163 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,639 so he knows he knows Orlando in this bowl very well. 164 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,160 So that's why I think this is going to be 165 00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:10,399 a very close ballgame. I'll give you guys my guess, 166 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,879 my score prediction and thinks. Now since we'll be doing 167 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:15,639 a replay show on Friday, just to remind you the 168 00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:17,199 fans of that, and there tomorrow we're going to be 169 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:20,000 doing national But I think BYU wins his game. BYU 170 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,240 wins this game a close ball game. I mean, look, 171 00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:25,040 I think the highest it could be is a thirty 172 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,839 four to twenty four BYU. But with no LJ, that's 173 00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:31,000 a lot. So I'm gonna go thirty one twenty four BYU. 174 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,439 I think BYU beats him by a touchdown. I think 175 00:07:34,439 --> 00:07:36,519 this is going to be a close ballgame. I don't 176 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,839 see BYU just going in there and dominating. I think 177 00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:42,879 the LJ hit will be a factor. I'm serious, I 178 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,160 really do believe that. But at the end of the day, 179 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,720 I think BYU will come out victorious. Now, we very 180 00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:50,120 well could be wrong, very well could be wrong, and 181 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,639 it could be completely of what it's been in the past. 182 00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,480 It could be a Colorado type best if they do 183 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,079 what they did to Colorado without LJ. Martin, my goodness, 184 00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:01,319 I don't know what the thing. I really wouldn't I 185 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,480 would be so surprised by this BYU team that you 186 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,160 just have to give them credit and just really tip 187 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,040 of the cap and say that they really would be 188 00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:11,639 p oed, because I don't think anyone is expecting that, 189 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,279 but it could be. But the line is to BYU 190 00:08:14,439 --> 00:08:16,879 is four is four minus four Right now BYU and 191 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,000 the over runders fifty five and a half. They think 192 00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:21,240 that points will definitely be put up, that it'll be 193 00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:23,879 a decent scoring ball game. So I'm gonna say thirty 194 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,000 one twenty four. So I'm gonna take the over go 195 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,199 thirty one twenty four. I think people say defensive select fest, 196 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,839 but I think that excuse me, not that I can't 197 00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:34,039 do math, that's not I'm actually taking the underd. I'm 198 00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:36,759 taking the under by half a point thirty one twenty 199 00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:37,519 four BYU. 200 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: That's fifty five. 201 00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 3: And I think that Georgia Tech they do cover, so 202 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,879 they do end up covering, and that number twelve BYU 203 00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:46,240 takes down number twenty two Georgia Tech on ABC at 204 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,960 Camping World Stateium in Orland to Florida. 205 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,039 Speaker 2: So that's my score prediction. 206 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 3: But just wanted to give that to you because I 207 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,240 don't know if I'll have an opportunity to give that 208 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,320 to you on Saturday game day. But yeah, look, good coach, 209 00:08:57,799 --> 00:08:59,960 loved this opportunity, Love that he got a renewed contra. 210 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,440 This is a good football team. Don't take them lightly, 211 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,080 Please don't because if you do, it never works well 212 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,840 for you. Remember UA be in the bowl game. So 213 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,840 but anyway, Brent Brent Key, good coach, Georgia Tech. Good 214 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,080 football team. He's had a multitude of stops, and he 215 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,320 had been there multiple times. And remember he was a 216 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,639 graduate assistant as well. I always he forgot he was 217 00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:22,200 a running backs coach as well. So before he had 218 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,960 got this coaching job at Georgia Tech, he was very familiar. 219 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,320 And then remember before that he had got that and 220 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,919 got promoted to the Alabama offensive line coach to say 221 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,440 promotion because that's the sec stop and then gets a 222 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,200 coaching job in the ACC. So this guy means business. 223 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,000 He's come to play and he's gonna have his team ready. 224 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,919 But without further Dodo, let's get back to the sound. 225 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,000 This is Brent Key from a couple of weeks ago 226 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,279 about the invitation in Georgia Tech and BYU and their 227 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,200 matchup in the Pop Tarts Bowl. 228 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,039 Speaker 4: Coach, Well, we'll keep it well, keeping with the old 229 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,480 Orlando guys team.

I think that's impactful, right. 416 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,759 Speaker 3: He said that he hasn't spoken to the players, but 417 00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:33,039 they're excited that they found out. You know, two different things. 418 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,240 So obviously the coaches were informed they found that team. 419 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,839 The players found out probably you know, be a social 420 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,200 media maybe they head coach, Oh, this is the opponent 421 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:41,799 that they're going to play. 422 00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:42,759 Speaker 2: Found out whoy're going to play. 423 00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 3: They're excited to play BYU in this matchup in the 424 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,160 Pop Tarts Bowl. But maybe he hasn't had opportunity to 425 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,039 talk to those seniors as mentioned, But he's right. These 426 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,960 bowl games, people will say they're consolation prizes, they don't matter. 427 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 2: Only the CFP matters. 428 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,279 Speaker 3: But look, if you go to the CFPN you lose 429 00:18:57,319 --> 00:18:59,480 in the first round, what momentum did you take into 430 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,599 the offseason. Oh, well, our team got to the College 431 00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:03,759 Football Playoffs yea, But if you don't win, doesn't really matter, 432 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,000 you know. And going to the Pop Talks Bowl, which 433 00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:08,839 is not a Constellation Prize colony. Sataki has been very 434 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,440 vocal about them. That sounds from everything that I've heard 435 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,119 brin Key is the same way you win this game. 436 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,720 This gives you a bunch of momentum going into next season. 437 00:19:15,759 --> 00:19:18,400 I believe it favors BYU more and recruiting with this 438 00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:22,000 national televised game, especially with it being in Orlando, especially 439 00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:23,960 they started to give recruits to Georgia. I know, Keelan 440 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,440 Marrion transfer to Miami, but you got him, he got Tree. 441 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,279 Alexander's a bunch of athletes along the East Coast that 442 00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:32,039 are starting to play at by. You Remember if you 443 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,680 go back towards you know, the East Coast and basketball 444 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,880 as a Crawford came over, you got robbed right now, AJ. 445 00:19:38,079 --> 00:19:41,559 So we're starting to see BA athletics get, you know, 446 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,920 across all the United States and athletics. So I think 447 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,160 for the football team, this is a very critical game, 448 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,599 not just for BYU, but for also for Geordia Tech. 449 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,359 It solidifies should I stay on this part of the 450 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,839 country and play for your program or should I take 451 00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:56,160 my talents elsewhere. When you're debating that, and when you 452 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,480 beat a big time opponent, the Big twelve of Georgia 453 00:19:58,519 --> 00:20:01,160 Tech wins this football game, this helps him. Like I 454 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,680 said earlier, I think it's going to be BYU. So 455 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,240 I think this can only help BYU in their momentum 456 00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:09,920 and recruiting as well. With everything that they've done, especially 457 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,920 even in a transfer portal too. They're going to be 458 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,880 transfer portal guys watching Walker Lions are going to be 459 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,759 watching this game. Unless he commits to BYU later this week, 460 00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:20,599 he's going to be watching. There's going to be I 461 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,920 think Chase Brown from Kansas State who's in the portal 462 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,599 is going to be the Oregon cornerback. There's going to 463 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,519 be that Texas Linebacker's going to be a bunch of 464 00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:30,440 people that have connections of ties that might may be 465 00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:33,079 coming to BYU that are going to be looking at 466 00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:35,160 this game. So this is an important matchup, no doubt 467 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,000 about it. Let's finish up the sound before we go 468 00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:37,359 to break. 469 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,319 Speaker 4: All right, I'm not seeing Allison's handbackup, So Luke take 470 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:43,720 us home. 471 00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:49,279 Speaker 7: Yeah, Brent, to that point, talking about what this game means, 472 00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:51,319 we're in an era now where some players opt out 473 00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:53,519 of bowl games. We've seen a team already in Notre 474 00:20:53,599 --> 00:20:55,359 Dame say they're not going to compete in a bowl 475 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,240 game for you guys, for where we're at in the 476 00:20:58,279 --> 00:21:01,160 modern era college football, Just what does that mean to 477 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,000 have your guys committed to a bowl game like this, 478 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,519 even though it's outside college football playoff? 479 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, an opportunity to compete is all that competitors can 480 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,039 ask for, right And you want to surround yourself with 481 00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:17,119 competitive people in life, not just on football team, but 482 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,519 in life. And that's what I, uh, that's what I 483 00:21:20,519 --> 00:21:22,160 look for in recruiting, that's what I look for in 484 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:22,920 development of guys. 485 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 5: We want to develop and. 486 00:21:24,279 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 6: Or recruit and develop competitive people and because they're the 487 00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:29,200 ones that are gonna be successful in life later on 488 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,440 when when they truly want to compete at everything they do. 489 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,240 I can't control people's thoughts and processes and you know 490 00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:40,759 what they want to do. I can just provide information, 491 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,400 provide the structure and what that. That stuff all takes 492 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,759 care of yourself because of the locker room and the 493 00:21:45,759 --> 00:21:46,480 culture of the team. 494 00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:50,799 Speaker 5: And I know from talking to guys already that are 495 00:21:51,279 --> 00:21:52,559 you know. I think if you ever brought it up 496 00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:54,519 to the player and one of our guys, they would 497 00:21:54,519 --> 00:21:55,200 they would laugh at you. 498 00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 6: I mean they would you know, but again I can't 499 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,839 control the people are going to do. But you know, regardless, 500 00:22:01,559 --> 00:22:03,000 we're gonna have eleven people on the eas side of 501 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,880 the football. We're gonna go out there and compete. But 502 00:22:05,519 --> 00:22:08,240 one of the four pillars our program is commitment. And 503 00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:11,759 when you commit to something, you commit for the full time. 504 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,039 And that's my that's my belief, that's the way I feel, 505 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,759 and that's the way I am. 506 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:19,759 Speaker 2: That was brin Key. 507 00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 3: That was a sound that he gave to the pop 508 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,880 Tars Bowl, the selection Sunday process, the invitation as well. 509 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 2: They're committed. 510 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 3: That's one of their four pillars is being committed, and 511 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,799 that's why I love brient Key.
