I'm gonna welcome in a former 11 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,759 BLAA wide receiver to discuss what's going on with the 12 00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:37,520 BLA Cougar football team and discuss maybe some ideas about 13 00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:41,079 acquiring some senior analysts to help the offense become even 14 00:00:41,119 --> 00:00:45,679 more explosive than they were this season, because it seems like, look, 15 00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:48,159 when you're going up against the elite, all the weaknesses 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,759 are exposed, and it seemed like the defense fared better 17 00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:56,079 than the offense, and even the special teams. I don't know, 18 00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:58,960 the special teams also looked a little bit shaky versus 19 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,880 text teching those two games. But your your weaknesses are 20 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,319 exposed right, and they're exploited, and so the defense looks 21 00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:10,640 solid and up the stuff special teams was better in 22 00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:13,319 the second game, but even that was a little bit 23 00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:16,319 off because Will's not kicking his field goals straight and 24 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,120 but the offense was not good. But they didn't have 25 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,280 to take into account Bart Blackmer getting injured and getting 26 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,480 a high ankle sprain on the first drive. I don't know, man, 27 00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:26,959 it's hard to kind of take it all in. But 28 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,480 all I know is at the end of the season 29 00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:31,920 BYU is a very good to great team and their 30 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,799 top twenty five across the board and all facets of 31 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,840 their football team complimentary football.

We 49 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,240 got Jared Blitzell on the line. Jared, how the heck 50 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:31,680 are you, buddy? 51 00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Ben, Thanks for having me. 52 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,439 Speaker 3: How was the Big twelve Championship game for you? 53 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: Outside of the game, Yeah, the experience was amazing. What 54 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:42,159 a stadium, great stadium, great atmosphere. Texas Tech fans were great. 55 00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:45,159 I will say that that they should have sent some 56 00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:47,360 text messages across the other side of the stadium to 57 00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:49,080 let the Texas Tech fans know that the. 58 00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: Bars were empty on our side. 59 00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: There were no lines, and I feel bad for the 60 00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:57,039 bartenders on on on the BYU side because there were 61 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,680 not a lot of tips going over there. 62 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,879 Speaker 1: But that probably the only time you ever see that 63 00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:02,479 in a stadium. It's pretty funny. 64 00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: But you know, overall, it was a fun time. I 65 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:10,280 enjoyed going out. I enjoyed the experience. You know, that 66 00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:16,039 front seven for Texas Tech is unreal, unreal lots of 67 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,000 critique going on for a rod play calling. I don't 68 00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:22,080 have it. Man, when you when you watch that game 69 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:27,080 in person and you see the deep, the nose tackle 70 00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:30,879 getting through the line with almost not being touched by 71 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,039 the by by by the center or by the guard, 72 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,439 and they were through by the time there had the 73 00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:37,240 ball in his hand. 74 00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:38,919 Speaker 1: The guy was in his face. So how do you 75 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,360 play call for that? Right? 76 00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: How do you set your offense up when you have 77 00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:45,240 one second to make a decision. He can't throw the 78 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,400 ball further than five yards because you don't have the time. 79 00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: You know, your running plays barely work. 80 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,599 Speaker 2: So as much as everybody wants to discredit a rod 81 00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:56,960 and and say that he called a bad game, you 82 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,159 know what that is an amazing Texas Tech team. I 83 00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:02,240 give him pops. I hope they go out and win 84 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,479 the National championship. 85 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,039 Speaker 1: And they're very well good. They're a very very good team. 86 00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:10,599 Speaker 2: Yes, So so there's there's a there's a lot to 87 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,800 kind of pick apart with that. I will say that, 88 00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:18,639 and I hope people understand the offensive coordinator, Aaron Roddick 89 00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:21,000 doesn't just go out and call plays every week. 90 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: That's not all he does. And but that's where the critique. 91 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: Is right on on on, Oh he didn't call this 92 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,600 play or he didn't call that, and you know what, 93 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,439 a lot of times we don't know the play call 94 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,720 when the picks were thrown, and we don't know the 95 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,879 play call when a fumble was made, or you know 96 00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:38,600 what I'm saying. So there's so much more that goes 97 00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:42,000 into But guess what we would not be where we 98 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,839 are at today with Bear. Bear is an exceptional athlete, 99 00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:48,120 but guess who's in his helmet talking to him every 100 00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:48,959 day every play? 101 00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: It's a Rod. You know, just who the quarterback coaches? 102 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000 That's a Rod. Right, So there's so much. 103 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: More that goes into just than just play calls for 104 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,160 Aaron Drink and I think he's doing a great job. 105 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,240 I think him is onto something and maybe bringing in 106 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,519 an analyst that can help with some a little bit 107 00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:14,759 more of that, you know, Festi's busy with the receivers, right, 108 00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:17,519 So maybe an analyst that can kind of meet in 109 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,279 the middle of that where can help with with receivers, routes, 110 00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:23,399 things like that that Festi is involved in as well, 111 00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:26,560 but maybe a little bit more expertise in offense. So 112 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,360 a Rod's up and seeing it from the top, but 113 00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:31,920 he's got someone on the field a little bit more, 114 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,680 a little bit outside of what Fessi does, but kind 115 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,839 of an inn a middleman, I guess you'd call it. 116 00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:41,959 So I think that that is definitely something that can 117 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,720 be looked at. I think that getting we just looks 118 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,000 like we've got some elite receivers coming in as freshmen 119 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,399 and a lot of development's gonna go there. We're a 120 00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:55,160 great team. I think we have a lot of potential 121 00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:58,879 continuing to move forward. But yeah, the experience was great. 122 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,959 I had a lot of and Dallas, you know, I 123 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,199 would have loved to have another outcome, but it's another 124 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:07,399 one of those games like look look at what Utah 125 00:06:07,519 --> 00:06:09,920 when Utah played Texas Tech at home, right, they kept 126 00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:12,560 with them all the way through the third quarter. We 127 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,720 were a touchdown away, we were six points down three 128 00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:18,759 minutes left in the third quarter, and then we unployed 129 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,199 the same thing with Utah. With Texas Tech, they had 130 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,319 them right there, and then that fourth quarter was just 131 00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:29,319 they annihilated it. Something about that that they yeah, they 132 00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:34,040 wear you down, They're strong, their physical I saw, I'll 133 00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:36,480 be honest, I saw more guys hobbling off the field 134 00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:38,240 in this game than I have all season. And that 135 00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:41,319 was on both sides. Both teams were hitting hard. It 136 00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:44,519 was a very very physical game. But I'm proud of 137 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,759 the Big twelve. I think we're going in the right direction. 138 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,759 And yeah, it was a super fun game to watch. 139 00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:51,519 Speaker 3: How far away is by you look? 140 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,199 Speaker 1: I think. 141 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,079 Speaker 3: B YU is a great team, sometimes a very good team, 142 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,439 but more often than not, there have been a great 143 00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:02,199 team this season. How far away are they are they 144 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,079 from becoming an elite team? I asked that question that 145 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,600 John asked that free question to Brady because we know 146 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,879 tex Tech is a is an elite team. They they 147 00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:11,279 very well could be the national champion this year, and 148 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,839 I would, I would, I'd put money on it. Like 149 00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:17,639 George is really good, Uh, Indiana is really good. Ohio 150 00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:19,399 State's very good. But like tex Tech is right there 151 00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:20,800 with those guys, Texas. 152 00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: Tech on their game, they they might be unstoppable. They're 153 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,639 very good teams. So where are we at? I think 154 00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:31,839 we're two running backs and two receivers on offensive way 155 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,079 in my opinion for being an elite team where we 156 00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:41,439 have an LJ. Martin and a healthy who's played. You know, 157 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,120 I felt for Santam you think about sitting out almost 158 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,319 the entire season and they getting thrown into the fire 159 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,560 against I was hoping he was gonna be on fire. 160 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:53,240 But man, going against Texas Tech and in that scenario, yeah, 161 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,040 he just got thrown into it. So a couple solid 162 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,959 running backs. So two more running backs and two more 163 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,680 elite receivers, and I think we have a whole different 164 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,199 offense defense. We're there, we are, I would say, people 165 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,040 for in the Great era. Yeah, and and let's see 166 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,120 who comes back. Let's see who decides to, you know, 167 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,560 throw their name in the ring for the pros and 168 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,439 and uh, but I hope we get a number of 169 00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:20,199 them back and and let's let's see where that goes. 170 00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:22,399 I think we're in a lot of in a good 171 00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:26,879 position moving forward. And uh, the recruiting class is phenomenal, 172 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,399 and I think we're gonna see some young kids as 173 00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:32,240 we see with like Sotwala coming up as a sophomore 174 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,480 making huge impacts. I think we're going to start to 175 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:37,559 see that more and more as we have these four 176 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,320 star plus recruits coming in where they can contribute right away, 177 00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:45,440 as opposed to what we've kind of had in the past, 178 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,600 where where it's it takes a couple of years to 179 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,320 get guys to where they're they're ready to contribute. So 180 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,720 I think we're gonna have a lot more of that 181 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,240 coming in and and who knows, we may pick up 182 00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:57,840 a few guys in the transfer portal and and yeah, 183 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,879 I look forward to it. Look forward to the bowl game. Uh, 184 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,600 I'm glad that we made the right decision. I don't 185 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,080 even think there was a decision to make. 186 00:09:04,279 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. 187 00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:07,639 Speaker 2: Can I take a minute and address how I feel 188 00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:09,679 about this, this opting out of bowl games? 189 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm saying so. Notre Dame opts out of 190 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,360 the bowl game because they feel disillusioned with the Costball 191 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,360 Playoff Committee, that they were unfairly treated, that the ACC 192 00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:26,639 attacked them, undermine them. ESPN is the media rights distributor 193 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,279 for ACC content, so they feel like they were back ended. Also, 194 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,720 ESPN owns this CFP it's production it's games, so they 195 00:09:36,799 --> 00:09:39,639 feel like they got screwed here and that they're being 196 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,440 forced to or influenced to join a conference or else. 197 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:45,080 This will happen in the future again. 198 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:45,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, well. 199 00:09:47,799 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 2: All of that doesn't bother me as much as the 200 00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:57,200 seniors on these teams. Right then, I ty and I'm 201 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,360 gonna take ken State, and I'm gonna say Iowa State 202 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,240 as well is doing the exact same thing to their 203 00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:07,000 seniors that Notre Dame's just getting all the notoriety of 204 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,759 it because of who they are and where they were 205 00:10:08,759 --> 00:10:09,240 at in this. 206 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,399 Speaker 1: I look back. I was really irritated the other day. 207 00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 2: I think I sent you a text, you know, and 208 00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:18,440 I've really started thinking about you know, most of your 209 00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:20,320 games are sitting. They think back to your senior year. 210 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,320 You know we played and every game is just another game. Well, 211 00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:26,759 finally we got to the point where I knew the 212 00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:27,639 Liberty Bowl. 213 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: Was my last game, right and I knew it. 214 00:10:29,919 --> 00:10:31,879 Speaker 2: I finally took a minute and I went, you know what, 215 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,879 I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna stand on the 216 00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:38,639 field before the game. I'm gonna absorb everything that I'm 217 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,399 experiencing right now. I'm gonna remember what I was like 218 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,480 as a little kid, saying, man, I want to play 219 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,799 for you. By you, I'm gonna absorb it all in. 220 00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:49,279 I'm gonna remember it because guess what Tomorrow, I'll never 221 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,759 put a helmet and shoulder pats on. I'll never get 222 00:10:51,759 --> 00:10:54,759 a run out of the tunnel with my teammates, I 223 00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:57,120 won't get a hang out with my coaches. All of 224 00:10:57,159 --> 00:11:00,200 that experience. Guess what I remember today? This is this 225 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,320 is almost thirty years ago. I remember standing on the 226 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,679 field we were playing Tulane and the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, 227 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,320 and looking around and actually for the first time in 228 00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:14,320 all the play letting it taken it in and just 229 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,840 realizing that I did some things that I set out 230 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,000 to do as a little kid, and I was where 231 00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:23,320 I wanted to play, maybe not accomplishing everything I wanted 232 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,720 to accomplish, but I was there, you know. And dude, 233 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,879 these seniors they didn't have They're not going to get 234 00:11:29,879 --> 00:11:34,159 that they had the opportunity to have a last game knowing, hey, 235 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,759 we've made our six games, we're going to a bowl. 236 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,720 That's our Iowa State who had eight, and the Kansas 237 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,759 State who had six, and the Notre Dame guys so 238 00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:44,960 they didn't put their mindset into this is my last time. 239 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,320 Bowl games are great not only for the game itself, 240 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,600 but you get to go spend We spent nine days 241 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,480 in Memphis hanging out with our teammates. I've got memories 242 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,120 that last a lifetime, you know that of just the 243 00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:03,720 experience being there. It's that last hurrah with your team. 244 00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:06,279 You get cool gifts that you know, ours aren't as 245 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,159 good as they get nowadays, but I still have them, 246 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,600 you know. And so all that experience all balled up 247 00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:15,799 into one and you know, what's your last one. But 248 00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:19,799 the guys who voted to not play, the senior captains 249 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,639 who are going to the NFL, they know they got 250 00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:24,799 more football left. But there's so many guys on those 251 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,080 teams that don't have it. I feel for them because 252 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,080 guess what they're gonna remember in thirty years that they 253 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,200 didn't get that experience, that they didn't get that last game, 254 00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:37,399 you know, And I feel for them, man, And I was. 255 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: Thinking about it today. 256 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: Check this out the seniors today, when was their last 257 00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:48,480 football season in high schools? They probably didn't even play 258 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,840 a season, so they already had to experience this in 259 00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:53,519 twenty twenty because there were graduates of twenty twenty one. 260 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,720 That season was gone, and now they get this. 261 00:12:56,879 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 3: Come on, well, that's the thing. Like Streman met with 262 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,159 the Notre Dame captain captain, and they just they're all 263 00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:09,360 NFL guys, so they're like, no, we don't want to 264 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,879 play in this game. And I'm like, and so then 265 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,120 the rest of the team has to go along with it. 266 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: They don't have a choice. 267 00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 3: They didn't have a choice. 268 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: They don't have a choice. 269 00:13:17,799 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: You know, you don't have any parent, I mean, and 270 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,480 it is so frustrating just to sit back and watch 271 00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:25,840 that happen. And that's to all three of those teams, 272 00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:28,840 all three of those teams that that are bull eedgible 273 00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:32,200 and turn down a ball. They're doing their seniors of disservice. 274 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,799 And I think if I was looking at a transfer, 275 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,840 I might not want to go there because I don't 276 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,000 think that that's a decision that is benefiting. 277 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: The player that's on the field. And you know, it's football. 278 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: When it's done, it's done, Like you don't get these 279 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,600 experiences again, so that one last experience means everything, and 280 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:56,320 and those memories last forever. And I would just emotionally disappointed, 281 00:13:56,879 --> 00:13:59,759 you know, watching these coaches and and and those decisions 282 00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:03,919 makes who are NFL guys you know who in their mind, 283 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,919 it's like, well, maybe they'd opt out anyways because they 284 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,039 don't want to get hurt. Fine, opt out, but let 285 00:14:08,039 --> 00:14:10,440 the other guys play. Let everybody have that last game. 286 00:14:10,879 --> 00:14:11,039 Speaker 1: You know. 287 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: I even saw a guy on ESPN talking about you know, 288 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,200 it's not just the football players, the band, the cheerleaders, 289 00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:20,080 all these people that the seniors, all the seniors that 290 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,360 had their last opportunity, you know, even equipment guys you 291 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,799 know that are helping out. 292 00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:26,799 Speaker 1: There might be seniors and they're done after this year. 293 00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:30,399 Speaker 2: There's just so many people that benefit from the experience 294 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,200 of going to a bowl game and it's a lot 295 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,240 of fun and and I think they all made a mistake. 296 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,679 And I hope that that these players make it through 297 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,120 it without too much emotional trauma in the future, because 298 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,039 they're going to remember it and that's unfortunately, one of 299 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,879 their last memories of playing college football is not playing. 300 00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, I mean, look, this is a 301 00:14:55,759 --> 00:14:59,360 childlike decision, you know what I mean. It's not like 302 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,320 al Well, Alabama got screwed last year. They got screwed, like, 303 00:15:03,679 --> 00:15:06,720 you know, like from a resume, you could make that argument. 304 00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:07,799 Speaker 1: They didn't. 305 00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:09,519 Speaker 3: They didn't take their ball and go home. They played 306 00:15:09,519 --> 00:15:12,679 the bowl game. Van's gonna play their bowl game this year. 307 00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:15,159 Everyone else is, for the most part, player in Lantina's 308 00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:17,960 some big twelve teams, anyone that like lost head coaches 309 00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:20,960 and has lost players. And they they had already moved 310 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,600 on from the offseason. They were five and seven. They 311 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,399 weren't gonna be both other and they moved on. Yeah, 312 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,519 they moved on already. They'd already moved on. 313 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, but those guys also knew this might be my 314 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,399 last game because if we don't win another game, we 315 00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:34,279 don't have a shot at the bowl game. So they 316 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,480 had that opportunity to take in that what might be 317 00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:41,279 my final football game. All the other teams that were 318 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,279 either expecting, and they especially Notre Dame, they knew they 319 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,039 were either going to play in a bowl game or 320 00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:48,960 a playoffs. So they knew they had another game until 321 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:49,399 they didn't. 322 00:15:49,639 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 3: So let's let's pivot back to this as it pretends 323 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,559 to be yu okay, because we can we can crap 324 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,120 on Notre Dame all day and in how how ridiculous. 325 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,120 This whole scenario is. But this is what Hemma says. 326 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:02,559 Speaker 1: Mhm. 327 00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 3: Moally says, Uh, why the b BYU's offense seems to 328 00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:09,639 get constipated in big games? Look there it's a good 329 00:16:09,879 --> 00:16:11,440 the best defense in Comgon football. 330 00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,399 Speaker 1: I don't agree with that, you know what I mean? 331 00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:16,919 Speaker 3: Like best defensive golf football losing Laflow. We see another 332 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,480 matchup text Sex is a legit top three team, so 333 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,679 it exposes everything. This is a safe space. Does a 334 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,240 rod have a solid foundation s n OC but still 335 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,840 like a few key tools to round out the full 336 00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:30,600 skill set. If so, the solution might simply be adding 337 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,120 an advisor, the senior analyst, someone like Eric Kerr. He says, uh, 338 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,879 Derek Corner Ketna could make a massive impact with little 339 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,519 He gives options like I don't necessarily think these are 340 00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:45,240 all good options. But June Jones he mentions, uh. He 341 00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:48,080 talks about Eric Drage love Eric Drage uh as a 342 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,039 former b y U. Great is it time for Killane 343 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,919 to bring someone who is ready now a fully developed O. 344 00:16:55,039 --> 00:16:56,480 See is there such a thing what? 345 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: I just don't get it. I don't get it. We 346 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,320 just it. What's the national media saying. 347 00:17:03,159 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: About Aaron Roderick, what a Royals Award as a as 348 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,240 a semi finalist, Yeah, or a finalist for this award. 349 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,079 Speaker 1: That tells you what people see from the outside, that 350 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:16,400 it's the same. 351 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 3: Thing how they felt about Robert and I. It's the 352 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:24,240 same like fans and former players. Look they have opinions, right, 353 00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:27,480 and look the bar keeps on rising. Yeah, right, as 354 00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:31,759 you have success, So you're you're you're damned by your success. 355 00:17:32,079 --> 00:17:36,279 You're you're undermined by your own success. Sure, and so 356 00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:41,799 you know twenty one those were both great offenses, put 357 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,559 up a lot of points, a lot of points. 358 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,319 Speaker 2: I just don't think people understand and realize what Aaron 359 00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:51,559 was able to do with what he had going into 360 00:17:51,599 --> 00:17:52,039 this season. 361 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,279 Speaker 3: Lost your quarterback. 362 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 2: People were talking, be lucky if we get six winths, 363 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,799 hopefully we're Bowl eligible. He's not just the offensive quarter 364 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,079 he is the quarterbacks coach. He is the voice in 365 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:08,359 the ear of Bear Bachmeyer. He single handedly, with his offense, 366 00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:12,920 created a team that won games this year. Texas Tech 367 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,359 hands down the best defense I've ever I've ever seen 368 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,079 in person in a college football game. Blown away, blown 369 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,440 by what they were able to do. Now could could 370 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,599 we maybe have made some other calls? Sure, maybe we 371 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,920 could have. Maybe that would have changed the trajectory. I'll 372 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,400 tell you what. Our first drive was amazing, you know, 373 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,200 there there was and yeah, that Bear. I'll tell you what. 374 00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: We were sitting right in front of where Bart was 375 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,880 at when they I'll. 376 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 2: Tell you what a great play call was A Rod 377 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,680 saw him his quarterback limping, and so what did he do? 378 00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:46,839 Called and and and and Bear stood off to the 379 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,839 side and couldn't put any weight on that ankle at all. 380 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,759 We watched him hobble off, but the TV didn't show 381 00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:55,319 it quite as much. I mean he was straight into 382 00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:00,000 the tent, right right to the silent. He's hurt, you know, Yeah, 383 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,839 apparently in a boot right now. Yeah, you know. 384 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: So there there's a lot more that goes into. 385 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,039 Speaker 3: It's probably a great one to grade two, but probably 386 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,440 probably greade two, which. 387 00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:12,319 Speaker 2: Which hurt hurt more than a break. You know, there's 388 00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:15,200 a lot of pain in that. And and so there's 389 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,799 a lot more that goes into it. When you don't 390 00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:20,160 have time to throw the ball, your quarterback who was 391 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,240 mobile is not mobile. 392 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: The whole game plan had to change, right. 393 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 2: And every ball we had to do was quick because 394 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,319 you had two seconds before the defensive line was in 395 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:30,839 the backfield. 396 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean or quicker. And it was crazy crazy 397 00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:35,880 to see how quick those that those three. 398 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,559 Speaker 2: Pound d linemans are, you know, I mean they're worth 399 00:19:38,599 --> 00:19:40,559 all seven million, I guess. 400 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,519 Speaker 3: Crazy man, Yeah, I mean look at ESPNSP plus. It's 401 00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:49,279 an efficiency metric. B Yu's offense is ranked twenty third 402 00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:54,599 in the country and that's going against Texas Tech twice, right, right, 403 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,200 so you're really bad games for are still at You're 404 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,160 at twenty three? Now do I think that to a 405 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,559 certain degree the offense. So if you pull up Texas 406 00:20:05,599 --> 00:20:10,599 Tech their schedule and you look at let's just look 407 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,240 at points against Texas Tech, they were giving up eleven 408 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,359 points per game leading up into this BYU championship game. 409 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,200 So in both games BYU did underachieved versus the point 410 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,519 total that had been given up versus others. But that 411 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,519 being said, you know, I mean Kansas State dropped twenty 412 00:20:35,559 --> 00:20:38,559 on them, Arizona State got twenty six on them, but 413 00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:42,279 that was at Arizona State. Both of these games were 414 00:20:42,319 --> 00:20:44,960 at home, right or Texas Tech is in an away setting. 415 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:52,559 Kansas got seventeen on them in Lubbock. Houston got eleven 416 00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:58,799 on them in Houston. Utah scored ten at rice ecles 417 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:04,680 So their home turf. Oregon State early in the season, 418 00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:09,640 scored fourteen points in Lubbock, most of the point fourteen. 419 00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:13,400 Kent State got fourteen on them in Lubbock, but that 420 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,599 was out of hand. It was sixty two. 421 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. So like they 422 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,160 probably scored some of that at the very end of 423 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:18,440 the game. 424 00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:22,599 Speaker 3: You know when did b what you underachieve versus this 425 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:28,279 defense slightly yes, probably slightly, Yeah, you know, playing but 426 00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:30,000 when you're playing in Lubbock, like. 427 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: It's crazy. 428 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 2: It's crazy unless you've been there and you can hear 429 00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:36,000 that stadium and you hear the sound of their sound 430 00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:36,599 system and. 431 00:21:36,559 --> 00:21:41,559 Speaker 3: You much of that eleven points, though, came in that 432 00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:44,160 a way setting verses where they gave up twenty six 433 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,039 with Will Hammond. It was a unique game and Sam 434 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,039 Levity the thing is and this is what all this 435 00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:53,240 is what I'll press against you here and I love 436 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,519 I love Bear Bachmeyer. But one of the things that 437 00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:57,119 Sam Levitt did there were two or three plays in 438 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,240 which he scrambles and he's got a cannon of an 439 00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:02,640 arm and he hucked up behind the defense and Bear 440 00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:05,680 just doesn't he can't do that. He can't do that. 441 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,799 That's his If you're talking one weakness, Bear has its 442 00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:12,200 arm strength. And I'm gonna get a bunch of freaking nerds, 443 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,839 like when I say this, I'm gonna get. 444 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: You're talking about We're talking He's not gonna drop a seventy. 445 00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 3: Yard bomb, sixty yard bomber. He can barely on a 446 00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:27,519 on a line like no trajectory whatsoever, Like throw fifty 447 00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:32,000 five yards, you know, and I'll get no ball. I'm like, you, guys, 448 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,160 I'm you actually, I'm just making this shit up like 449 00:22:35,319 --> 00:22:38,359 I'm not. I'm like, he does not have a lead armstrang. 450 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,759 He doesn't have great arm streak. He has borderline he's 451 00:22:41,799 --> 00:22:45,079 got above average arm strength. Yeah, well that's what he has. 452 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,440 I think, And I love him like, I think he's great. 453 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,640 I think he's a true freshman. He's gonna improve in 454 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,319 that arm strength to an agree, But that's the one 455 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,039 thing he doesn't have that Sam Levin and Ashue had 456 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,720 and they were going against a backup quarterback. 457 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,519 Speaker 1: And I think that what what we also need on 458 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,680 in our receiving cord. 459 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 2: We had some great receivers, but we didn't have the 460 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,880 Darius Lastater this year did the Kelan marrion where you 461 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,480 you had guys that could that would just get separation. 462 00:23:14,839 --> 00:23:18,880 You know, Parker gets open, he finds holes, right, Chase 463 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,319 is a big body, but because so, Chase was so 464 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,799 much better when the defense still had to focus on 465 00:23:23,839 --> 00:23:26,599 another couple of receivers. But when it's just Parker and 466 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,960 Chase who ultimately really were the receiving cord. This year, 467 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,000 we didn't have any other receiver. Jojo was hurt. He 468 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,319 never really came back from that. Cody Hagen, I was 469 00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:39,880 really high on him. I didn't feel like he outperformed 470 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,200 this year like I thought he would. I think he's 471 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,839 got he's he's coming into his own. I think he's 472 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,440 gonna do better next year. But we just we've got 473 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,599 fast players, but you didn't have that game separation where 474 00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:53,319 he's one on one with a corner. 475 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: He's going to bury that corner and get get open. 476 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,319 Speaker 2: And I felt like Darius last Letter and Kilan Marry 477 00:23:58,319 --> 00:23:59,359 had more of that. 478 00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:01,599 Speaker 1: Not to downplay our receivers. 479 00:24:01,599 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 2: I love them, and they're great receivers, they're more like 480 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,440 we were when I played what was just all possession 481 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,240 receivers finding holes, running perfect routes and getting open. But 482 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,759 what I think we need is a couple of guys 483 00:24:13,759 --> 00:24:16,319 that can go out there and just put a dB 484 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,880 in their pocket and get open, you know. And that 485 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,240 I think. And obviously they can't be sixty seventy yards downfield. 486 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,799 They got to be quick double moves. But you know, 487 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:27,759 I wish we could have had a little bit more 488 00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:31,160 time in Texas Tech in the backfield and had those opportunities. 489 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: But that's why throwing these short five. 490 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 2: You know, these quick screens and things like that, there's 491 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,279 no time to throw anything deep, you know. 492 00:24:38,559 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: Now, maybe maybe had better too. 493 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,279 Speaker 3: I mean, look that that one that had to come 494 00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:44,680 out early, and Parker wasn't looking and hit his shoulder, 495 00:24:44,759 --> 00:24:47,000 hit his hand. If you'd have been looking, he was 496 00:24:47,039 --> 00:24:49,240 off for the races. He there was plenty of space 497 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:49,920 nowt there. 498 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,759 Speaker 2: If Bear's ankle wouldn't have been hurt, I could have 499 00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:55,759 seen us running into some rollouts, you know. And and 500 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,319 that's that's the only way you can buy yourself more 501 00:24:58,319 --> 00:25:00,319 time when the rush is there, is to it out 502 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:01,480 of the pocket and roll out. 503 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: But if he can't run very well. 504 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,799 Speaker 2: It's gonna you know, you're you're, you're, you're kind of 505 00:25:05,799 --> 00:25:09,880 shooting yourself in the shouldn't say that in the foot 506 00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:12,640 ye at the Ale. Yeah, but but I think that 507 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,559 there's a lot to learn from it. I'm excited for 508 00:25:14,599 --> 00:25:16,319 the Georgia Tech game. I think that's gonna be a 509 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,000 fun one. And just like last year, b why you 510 00:25:20,039 --> 00:25:23,200 need to make a statement going into the offseason and 511 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,359 and and I think that there's a lot of potential 512 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,759 moving forward. We've got a lot of guys coming in. 513 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,039 I'm excited. I we surpassed everybody. Nobody would have thought 514 00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:35,119 we'd be in the position we were at at the 515 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,039 end of this season. And so for calling for heads 516 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,480 on a platter is ridiculous to me. And you don't 517 00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:43,680 understand football in my opinion, the guys that are doing it. 518 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,079 Speaker 1: And and I'll tell you, well. 519 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. I mean, you get it from 520 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,880 former players too, right, I mean, m my movie is 521 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,400 one of the best running backs in bu football history, 522 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:53,519 and he's saying. 523 00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: Hey, well he's not He's not necessarily but. 524 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,519 Speaker 3: He needs more supports. Even alluded like, well, is a 525 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,559 rod a complete oc I'm like, what is that? Yeah, 526 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,559 he's a Broyls Award finalist and his two worst games 527 00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:16,440 were against the best defense in college football essentially, So uh, 528 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,240 this is what I'll say. Yeah, in an idealistic world, 529 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,720 you want to have a senior analyst right there next 530 00:26:23,759 --> 00:26:30,759 to you that you can piggyback Gary Anderson. Sure, great, 531 00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:33,960 But Gary Anderson and Ja Hill have been working together 532 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,480 for like thirty years, right, yeah, Like so I don't 533 00:26:38,519 --> 00:26:41,319 know if there is an equivalent out there, and if 534 00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:45,880 there was, a Rod probably would have already got him, right. 535 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,799 Does that make sense? Does that? Like is does he exist? 536 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,359 Does the senior analyst that has trust and like they 537 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,519 think alike or they think it away that's complementary to 538 00:26:56,599 --> 00:26:59,720 each other, and they have trust. There's complete trust. Gary 539 00:26:59,799 --> 00:27:04,319 is not trying to position himself to become a takeover, 540 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:06,519 you know what I mean? 541 00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:09,799 Speaker 1: And that's hard to find because every most everybody is. 542 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,039 Speaker 3: Grandkids and he's getting a little bit of money doing 543 00:27:14,079 --> 00:27:15,519 something he loves and he's get to be in the 544 00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:18,599 Boothy probably works Monday through Wednesday and then he comes 545 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,440 back on Saturday, you know what I mean? Like, are 546 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,480 you gonna be able to find that like who is that? 547 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,880 Is it? Like Gary Kruch, like no one wants to 548 00:27:27,039 --> 00:27:32,160 like answer to it. Well, yeah, I mean if you 549 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,359 want to go bring in Tie, Like if you have 550 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,680 good relationship with him and you're like, hey, bring him in, 551 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,759 you're gonna be our senior analyst. 552 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, every guy knows football more than anybody else. 553 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 3: Ty doesn't have ego, so you have to bring in that. 554 00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:54,279 He's he's not looking to be the next guy. Maybe, 555 00:27:54,519 --> 00:27:54,960 I don't know. 556 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:55,519 Speaker 1: I don't know. 557 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,279 Speaker 2: I think there there definitely can be some tweaks. I 558 00:27:58,319 --> 00:28:02,359 think that will help the offense. Personnel is going to 559 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,680 help as well moving forward. This is our first year 560 00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:07,799 having Kevin Gail Brad involved. I think Kevin brings a 561 00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:12,400 lot dynamic of the offense and and I think maybe 562 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,240 there's more that he can do just outside of the 563 00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:18,319 tight ends as well. You know that I know Kevin 564 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,200 and and and Aaron worked really well together and and uh. 565 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,079 Speaker 1: But yeah, there's we will see, right I I but 566 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:26,799 I can't. 567 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:30,039 Speaker 3: I just want someone that you know, it's like him 568 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,240 is bringing it up. We've had many former players, I 569 00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:37,480 mean they'll Jason Buck loved Jason Buck Outland Trophy Winder 570 00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:39,920 one of the greatest you have ever done, the Royal 571 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,359 Blue and White. You know, dislike Croton and dislike Bronco. 572 00:28:44,279 --> 00:28:47,160 I just didn't like what they were doing and and 573 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:52,559 and he was willing and ready to to criticize and 574 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:54,480 and say they're not doing it the right way. And 575 00:28:54,519 --> 00:28:58,440 do they look football players? Former footballers, they haven't have egos. 576 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,160 They're competitive and they think they know everything. Yeah, you 577 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,839 know Jernie Gurnie and Ronald and all all my codes 578 00:29:04,839 --> 00:29:07,960 about Yeah, I bet you think you know everything. Ego driven. 579 00:29:08,319 --> 00:29:11,079 You know, there's others that have much more ego than 580 00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:13,559 me in that former player world. 581 00:29:14,759 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: It's not even close. 582 00:29:16,839 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 3: I feel like I'm pretty synergistic, you know what I mean. 583 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,039 But you want to give a little bit of credencewiming Like, Okay, 584 00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:26,160 it's an idea. Who's the senior analyst that's going to 585 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,680 that a Rod would approve of and want? 586 00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:32,599 Speaker 2: So what about what about your uh, your weekly co 587 00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:35,759 or not your co host, your your weekly Monday interview? 588 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 3: John Beck? 589 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,279 Speaker 1: John Beck? Yeah, John, I know John's so busy with everything, John. 590 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 3: So busy with everything with his kids. There's no way 591 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,880 it can have Yeah, you kid can you imagine, like. 592 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: No, no, because I lose that, I lose time. 593 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 2: I've thought about it, you know, about about what would 594 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,480 it be like to be in that kind of a scenario, 595 00:29:56,519 --> 00:29:59,119 and then I think, Okay, so I don't get a coach, 596 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,640 my son, I don't get it. 597 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: I don't get to be at this game. Don't you 598 00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:07,160 know what? I'm like, Yeah, stay with my boys. 599 00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:10,599 Speaker 3: And yeah, I don't want anything to do with that. 600 00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:13,359 Speaker 2: I would have gotten coaching twenty five years ago. That's 601 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,119 where i'd be at now. 602 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 3: But but that being said, if it's just an analyst, yeah, 603 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,559 what's what's the what's the time commitment? But Saturdays is 604 00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:24,720 a special day, it's football day, it's full time. 605 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,279 Speaker 2: I don't think there's a position as an analyst at 606 00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:31,480 that at this level with this kind of money, you know, 607 00:30:31,759 --> 00:30:36,039 and uh, I think it's everything's full time real quick. 608 00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:39,319 Speaker 3: Because I know Ronald's watching the basketball game. Ronald, get 609 00:30:39,359 --> 00:30:41,519 him it, give us an update on how many points 610 00:30:41,519 --> 00:30:44,799 by Basketball is losing by their Madison Square Garden. 611 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,519 Speaker 4: Belt to ass I can say that, you can't say 612 00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:49,160 that if you haven't served the mission. I'm the one 613 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,839 that can say that once you serve, you're delegated where 614 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,359 you can say the words, so I can say it. 615 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,519 I've served. Okay, guys, I'm almost thirty, but Clemson ends 616 00:30:56,519 --> 00:30:59,160 the half, been on your white. I was quiet not 617 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,119 to not see you to bring but I'm just in awe. 618 00:31:01,119 --> 00:31:05,279 It's Clemson finishes the half overwhelming Ben twenty one to nothing, 619 00:31:05,359 --> 00:31:09,880 run up big on BYU forty three to second half 620 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,000 twenty two. No, don't do that, No, no, no, I've 621 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,359 watched this game. Look, we can officially have the conversation. 622 00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 3: Now. 623 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,119 Speaker 4: This is going to be look a precursor for what's 624 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,240 gonna come when they get to the NCAA tournament unless 625 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,680 they figure out the depth issue. But you're seeing now 626 00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:29,799 the injury to Nate Pickens and Dawson Baker take effect. 627 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,880 I'm watching as Alexi coastitch out here, and I'm watching 628 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:33,519 the bench players. 629 00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: It's a struggle. 630 00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:36,759 Speaker 4: It's a struggle AJ and Rob and Rich. You're having 631 00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:38,559 to do way too much and he can't do that. 632 00:31:38,599 --> 00:31:38,759 Speaker 1: Ben. 633 00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 4: It's like asking Bear and LJ in the run game 634 00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:46,400 to win you everything and do that. You need more depth, right, 635 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,519 And I don't blame coaches at all. I don't blame anybody. 636 00:31:49,559 --> 00:31:51,599 But when I watch it enough, I know what it is. 637 00:31:52,079 --> 00:31:53,960 And this is letting me know when you play good teams, 638 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,599 you're gonna beat up on teams in conference and Big twelve, 639 00:31:56,599 --> 00:31:59,039 they're gonna win their their handful of games. But when 640 00:31:59,079 --> 00:32:00,880 they get to like the Sweet sixteen of Laite eight, 641 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,759 when they have to play a team, if they're not 642 00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:04,440 able to get it done. What I'm watching right now, 643 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,440 and Clemson is not a bad basketball team, and they 644 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,759 played some high level talent to start off. This I 645 00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:11,240 think will plague them is a depth right now because 646 00:32:11,319 --> 00:32:14,200 right now, if they turn to the bench, Kevin Jung 647 00:32:14,359 --> 00:32:16,240 is looking for answers and can't find it right now. 648 00:32:17,799 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 3: Well, look, this is my experience with BYU athletics. 649 00:32:25,039 --> 00:32:26,359 Speaker 1: This is my opinion. All right. 650 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:33,079 Speaker 3: Whenever like everything seems to be going right, everything's going right, 651 00:32:33,119 --> 00:32:36,279 there's like an injury, there's an honor code violation, there's 652 00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:40,240 you know, there's the college football college basketball cabal. 653 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 5: Can't have nice things been like it, and so like 654 00:32:43,519 --> 00:32:49,039 that's why you know, you see, you can't be overly 655 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,599 invested in it as a fan because. 656 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 3: They're gonna break your heart. They're gonna probably most likely 657 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,079 they're gonna break your heart like we've seen it. Like 658 00:32:59,119 --> 00:33:02,119 with basketball, it's like literally like they went out and 659 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,519 got some guys. They got some dudes, Like we're going 660 00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:07,119 to the final four, like we are breaking this record, 661 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,720 and then all of a Suddennate Pickens go down to 662 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:14,519 the injury Dawson Baker gets his acl just like I remember, 663 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,759 like BYU basketball, even like in the UH, I can't 664 00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:20,720 remember what season it was, but like Kyle Collinsworth like 665 00:33:20,839 --> 00:33:25,119 tweaked his knee or Tyler Hawes rolled his ankle. You know, 666 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,440 I made these seasons that could have been great too, 667 00:33:27,519 --> 00:33:30,119 and they just weren't because of X Y and Z 668 00:33:31,079 --> 00:33:34,960 B YU football. The twenty twenty season, COVID year, we're 669 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,839 kalking on the door, we do the pickup game versus 670 00:33:38,839 --> 00:33:43,039 one yard short, one yard short, we fall short in 671 00:33:43,119 --> 00:33:45,880 that remarkable COVID season. Like, ah, that's one of the 672 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,599 best seasons. BWA football stoer were doing it again this year, Oh, 673 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,920 one of the best seasons be with football history. What 674 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,000 I what I think is like we gotta go out 675 00:33:53,039 --> 00:33:56,039 there and do way more service than we are right now. 676 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,720 I really think that, I really believe that if if 677 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,039 you're gonna if we're gonna be all in on sport 678 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,799 like this, and we we have to be.
