Nine straight wins for the University of Utah but BYU's

Speaker 3: In your general conversations about this game.

42
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,759
Speaker 4: Uh, well, you know, I'd say most of uh, most

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,159

00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:27,479

00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,199
I'm getting I'm getting, uh, I'm getting my fair fair

47
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,159
share of trash talk, and uh you know I love it.

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting, right Like it's a it's.

49
00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:46,159
Speaker 3: A volatile, vitriolic robbery for the fans and and sometimes

50
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:48,360
for the players. How do you view this game as

51
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,599
a former player you've played in this, it seems like

52
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,159
you you embraced the vitriol, the trash talk, all of that.

53
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:03,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I it's what makes college football college football. Man, Like,

54
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:05,639
this is what this is what it's all about, right

55
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:10,280
like the history between the two teams, the hatred, the animosity,

56
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,280
the you know, the back and forth. Like I this

57
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,400
is what this is what college football is made of,

58
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:20,639
right here, right Like if you could, if you could

59
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,960
take somebody who doesn't know what college football is all about,

60
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:25,599
right like, this would be the week to kind of

61
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:26,520
show them.

62
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,439
Speaker 3: There's been iconic quotes over the years from players both

63
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,960
on Utah's and BYU side, the magic happens still pierces

64
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:40,240
the hearts and minds of Utah fans everywhere, and obviously

65
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,159
BYU fans they utter those same words magic happens after

66
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,759
big wins. Take us back to that interview after that

67
00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:51,879
big time win. I know you've been asked this question

68
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:55,560
many times two thousand and seven, fourth and eighteen, you

69
00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:58,879
guys convert obviously BYU ends up winning that game. What

70
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:01,159
was going through your mind when you were getting interviewed

71
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:04,000
in that moment? And why did you utter the magic happens?

72
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:09,439
Speaker 2: Uh refrain, Yeah, I don't know.

73
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: I I uh, you know, at that point in time,

74
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,439
I believed in preparation, right, Like that was such a

75
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:17,120
big part of my game is preparing. You know. I

76
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:18,959
kind of had a mantra that I that I had

77
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,439
developed on my church mission that you know, that had

78
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,160
no regrets and and uh, you know, I kind of

79
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,040
took that same mantra and added to my two uh

80
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:31,439
you know, to to my life on the field. And

81
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,199
you know, the the idea was that you know, if

82
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,639
if you prepare, you make sure you're prepared, opportunities going

83
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,800
to come. And when that opportunities comes if you if

84
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,360
you put in the preparation and you've been doing what

85
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:50,439
you know, what what is asked of you by by

86
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,160
the man above, right, Like that combination is gonna is

87
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,879
going to produce some fruit, right kind of going to

88
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:01,439
produce some success. So uh uh you know, I've been

89
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,720
a constant believer in that that everything works out the

90
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,040
way that it should as long as you're doing what

91
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,079
you're supposed to be doing.

92
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 3: Obviously, Uh, I think what was your record all time

93
00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:15,639
versus Utah in the rivalry game?

94
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:17,519
Speaker 2: Do you just get that one win in two thousand

95
00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:17,879
and seven?

96
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 4: Note grade one, one and two one and two? Ben?

97
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,959
Speaker 2: What happened in the last right?

98
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 3: Like you know when b YU loses these games, typically

99
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,279
they're pretty competitive, right, they go back and forth. You know,

100
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:33,800
there's uh there's typically controversy that that swells around these games.

101
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: And you know prior and in postgame and during the game.

102
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: So what happened in the games in which you you

103
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,399
guys just fell short, Well, it.

104
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 4: Doesn't help you play the two best Utah teams in history,

105
00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:48,000
in the history of the school.

106
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: Right, Oh wait right?

107
00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 4: Perfect? Oh wait yeah, yeah, the the the two best

108
00:05:56,079 --> 00:06:02,480
teams in uh yeah, in Utah, his stree. You know,

109
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,839
we were we were pretty good four you know, uh,

110
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,399
probably the best five and six team in the country.

111
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:15,240
Uh so not great, went and played Alex Smith and

112
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,319
Eric Weddle and and uh Paris Warren and all those guys.

113
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:21,720
They went on to go to Fiesta Bowl and win,

114
00:06:22,879 --> 00:06:28,160
and then yeah, then then played the eight or sorry seventeen.

115
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,959
I went on to play Alabama the Sugar Bowl and

116
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,759
beat them. Had you know, four number one or first

117
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,879
round draft picks on that team at the time. So

118
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,040
you know, it's kind of lucky. The draw, just bad luck.

119
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:42,839
That's what happened.

120
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 3: Then awesome calling here on ESPN the fan. But you

121
00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:50,000
did get that win obviously in O seven, and you

122
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,439
were you were coming off the mish, and you probably

123
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,920
weren't running on all cylinders coming off the mish, you know,

124
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:58,199
struggling through you know, the the post mission legs, et cetera.

125
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,839
But that was an iconic win, like when we talk

126
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:04,800
about iconic wins, oh seven, uh in you know Max Hall,

127
00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:07,759
you know going off in eight, that was a big one.

128
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,959
You in the in the post game in O seven,

129
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,480
and so these are these are memories that fans that

130
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,600
created a generation of fans, right, And in your upbringing

131
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,399
in in the Collie home, obviously you guys were were

132
00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:27,120
BYU fans, and so these moments, I believe they create

133
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:31,759
generational fans, these wins, these games create generational fans for

134
00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:36,000
either side of of the robbery. So like, growing up,

135
00:07:36,079 --> 00:07:39,040
what do you remember about this rivaly game? And obviously

136
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,720
you had a four you have a dad that that

137
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:42,959
played in this game, but what do you recall about it?

138
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: Uh?

139
00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:47,319
Speaker 4: To be honest, Ben, I don't remember anything about this game.

140
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,240
I was a I was a Pac ten only. It

141
00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:54,480
was a Pac ten only household. Right. Growing up in

142
00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:57,720
grown up in California, we didn't watch too many BYU

143
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:01,560
football games, and so I was unaware of even what

144
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,319
the what the rivalry was all about until my freshman

145
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:08,680
year right made it made a couple of comments after

146
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,439
playing New Mexico and found out quickly what what this

147
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,439
rivalry meant. After my comments, we're we're you know, uh

148
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,920
hit the airwaves uh and had some unhappy, disgrontal youth

149
00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:28,480
fans coming after me. So UH got got a real

150
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:32,559
quick lesson, uh of what the rivalry means to a

151
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,480
lot of people in this state. And amongst the entire

152
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:41,000
fan base for both fan bases. But you know, I've

153
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,440
fallen in love with it. I I now know my

154
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,600
kids now know what that rivalry means. Right, Like they

155
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:51,120
were getting harassed at at uh at at elementary school,

156
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,080
right crying coming home saying, Johnny just told me that

157
00:08:55,159 --> 00:09:00,440
you're a loser. Uh uh, you know because you played

158
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,039
for BYU and you lost the Utah, et cetera. So

159
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,399
you know, they now have a realistic understanding of what

160
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,000
the rivalry means. And yeah, we look forward to it

161
00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:12,600
every year.

162
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: When you evaluate the rivalry, right nineteen seventy two and

163
00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:18,399
Lavelle took over, like it was dominant all the way

164
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,000
through the early nineties. BYU I think won pretty much

165
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:25,240
every single one of those games minus two from nineteen

166
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,320
seventy two to nineteen ninety two. All of a sudden

167
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,960
nineteen ninety three that the it just turned right. It

168
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,799
became more of like a fifty to fifty game. From

169
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:38,200
nineteen ninety three through two thousand and nine, I think

170
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,159
it was like split down the middle. Utah one half

171
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,360
of them, BYU won half of them. And then you

172
00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:47,200
go to twenty ten and Kywittingham and the Utes rattle

173
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,799
off nine straight by us on a two game winning streak.

174
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 2: Now, when you look at those numbers, like what.

175
00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:55,279
Speaker 3: Stands out to you about whether or not BYU's winning

176
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,240
these games or losing these games over maybe that history.

177
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,879
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know what. I can't talk to what's

178
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:09,279
happened before you know, I got there. But you know,

179
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,960
I think the biggest gap that's happened since two thousand

180
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,679
and nine up until a couple of years ago. I

181
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:18,399
think that could be directly correlated to the fact that

182
00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:21,279
around that time is when Utah made the jump to

183
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:25,600
go to the Tack twelve, right, and we at Duyu

184
00:10:25,919 --> 00:10:29,879
stayed as an independent school. Right. I think that has

185
00:10:29,919 --> 00:10:31,840
a lot to do with it, right, I mean, you

186
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,039
look at BYU and the trajectory that we're on now,

187
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,039
don't I don't think it's I don't think it's crazy

188
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,039
to think that. Hey, you know, joining a Power five

189
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:45,360
conference or a powerful conference like Big twelve helps helps

190
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:51,279
the recruiting, helps the funding, it helps in marketing, help,

191
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,360
it helps in everything, right, and those types of things

192
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,840
bring a certain energy to the program. I mean, Kilani

193
00:10:56,879 --> 00:10:59,759
has done a phenomenal job of creating that energy, but

194
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:02,480
it went to a different level once we decided that

195
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,080
we were going to be in the Big twelve, right,

196
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,720
So I think that played a huge part in just

197
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:11,639
the discrepancy of funding, the discrepancy of recruiting from Utah.

198
00:11:11,919 --> 00:11:14,919
They went and they went to the PAC twelve and

199
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,840
we remained or went to independent.

200
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: Right.

201
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:21,799
Speaker 4: But now I think there's there's gonna be a lot

202
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:24,960
of parody, right given the fact that especially we're the

203
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,799
same conference, pulling from the same recruiting pole.

204
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: So do you feel, like you mentioned parody, will there

205
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,039
be kind of an equivalency, kind of a back and

206
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,600
forth once again? Do you think do you think by

207
00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:39,879
you now, as they were operating for a long time

208
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,159
without as many resources, they kept it competitive obviously in

209
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,960
these games during independence, but.

210
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:48,639
Speaker 2: Weren't able to come out with victories.

211
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: Do you feel like they're on a better trajectory than

212
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,720
Utah now that they're in the same conference with maybe

213
00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:58,000
an increase in nil funds, you know, finally getting kind

214
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,440
of the weight room, nutrition, medical staff, et cetera. Are

215
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,440
they are they on even footing or do you think

216
00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:07,159
maybe got a leg up on Utah in the near future.

217
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, I don't know. I think

218
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,639
I think it's definitely going to be a back and forth, right,

219
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,039
Like these games are always going to be close, except

220
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,519
for the years that I played. Okay, Uh, they're they're

221
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,519
they're always going to be close games.

222
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,039
Speaker 2: Because that's it just got out of hand in the fourth.

223
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 4: I don't know sure. I mean, what was the final

224
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:45,240
score there? Lost by twenty So yeah, I think I

225
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,440
think it's it is going to be like I said,

226
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,879
the the the meaning of this rivalry. You're going to

227
00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:55,080
get the best out of both teams. This is why

228
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:58,879
this is why you know, this week scares all the fans, right,

229
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,960
because you could go either way, and I think we've

230
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,240
seen some crazy things happen, and that's just because of

231
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,039
what the rivalry means. I think the fact that we're

232
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,440
all in the same conference and and combined with the

233
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,279
nil right like a lot of these kids, like I

234
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:15,600
mean you take a look at you know too, or

235
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,000
at least one of our our star defensive linemen was

236
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,559
playing in Utah last year, right, I mean the fact

237
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:29,919
that we're so close, uh geographically, and you know, with

238
00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:32,000
with the transfer portal being the way that it is,

239
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,840
with plumbing being the way that it is with it

240
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,320
with the conferences that we're both in, Like, I do

241
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,960
think that there's going to be far more parody across

242
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,039
the two teams, and then it's always going to be

243
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,360
a close game, like unless unless one team has just

244
00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:52,360
a quarterback that is far better than the other. Right, Like,

245
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:59,200
I do think that a team's success heavily, heavily uh

246
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,919
rests on how great that that kid is under center. Right,

247
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,840
And if one of the years, you know, one of

248
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,200
our schools happens to nab a uh you know, a

249
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,360
single caller, you know, first round draft pick type, you know,

250
00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:16,759
franchise type quarterback, then the knack could sway things a

251
00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:19,080
little bit. But I think for the most part, man,

252
00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:21,559
it's going to be a back and forth NonStop, and

253
00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:25,200
I do think there's going to be an exchange of

254
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,759
of of you know, personnel as well. Give him the

255
00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:30,840
transfer portal because a lot of these kids want to

256
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:33,600
stay home, close to home in the area. Okay, where's it,

257
00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:36,080
where's the next best spot? All right, what's up north

258
00:14:36,159 --> 00:14:36,960
or it's down south?

259
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,679
Speaker 3: Right, It's funny you bring up Canton town of Asa.

260
00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:42,480
Coming from from Utah.

261
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 4: To b Yu.

262
00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: He actually served his mission in Provo and uh Canton

263
00:14:48,039 --> 00:14:51,840
Town of USA taught Kalani's son, who I think was

264
00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:54,000
like nine at the time and had not been baptized

265
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,000
or something like that, as we ended up baptizing Sun.

266
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,440
So there's there's a lot of cross pollination.

267
00:14:58,639 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 4: A god.

268
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: John Henry Daily, then nephew of David Nixon, was playing

269
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,200
at b YU, transfers to Utah. Now he's their best

270
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,240
defensive lineman. So there's there's a lot there's a lot

271
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:10,720
of cross pollination there.

272
00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:14,639
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, and I think that's going to continue to happen.

273
00:15:14,799 --> 00:15:17,200
Like especially a lot of these kids that are that

274
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:19,399
are home growing here in the state, right, they don't

275
00:15:19,399 --> 00:15:20,799
want to go out of state. I want to stay

276
00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:24,759
in state. Uh and uh. And they're either going to

277
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:27,159
go to Utah, They're going to go to b a U. Right,

278
00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:29,440
they're unhappy at BYU, they're going to go up to

279
00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:30,480
Utah and vice versa.

280
00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:34,679
Speaker 3: So let's discuss this Bay football team. I imagine you've

281
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,039
been watching this team. You're you've trained some of these

282
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,960
wide receivers over the years. What do you like about

283
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,960
how the team is playing right now? Who stands out

284
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,080
to you from a personnel standpoint that you can highlight

285
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:46,519
for us.

286
00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:50,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think, you know, I I've I've

287
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:55,639
always been optimistic about about Parker Kingston's ceiling and what

288
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,799
he's been able to deliver. I think now that he's

289
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,320
uh you know, uh uh uh an upperclassman who's had

290
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,080
a couple of years under his belt, I think his

291
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:09,080
confidence is really high. And I think I think Air

292
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,559
Roderick and FESSI have done a great job of working

293
00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:14,440
him into the system right, making sure he's getting his touches,

294
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,039
because I do think he's a very dynamic player. And

295
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,799
then you know, Chase obviously continues to prove he's mister consistent,

296
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,399
mister reliability. And you know, I think LJ is running

297
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:28,120
a lot better. I'd still like to see him be

298
00:16:28,159 --> 00:16:32,720
a little bit more aggressive, and I honestly, I think

299
00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:36,279
I think the addition that Carson Ryan too is huge, right, Like, Yeah,

300
00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:38,840
I know he doesn't get a ton of touches, but

301
00:16:39,799 --> 00:16:42,720
he's he's good enough for defenses to have that, you know,

302
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,799
account for him right in their scheme, right and at

303
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:51,240
any point he could go off if needed. So I

304
00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:54,200
do like our offensive weapons. I think Bear has done

305
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,480
an absolutely fantastic job thus far of taking care of

306
00:16:57,519 --> 00:16:59,519
the football, taking care of the football and not trying

307
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:03,639
to play to outside of him himself, not trying to

308
00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:07,920
do too much. Been super impressed with just his maturity,

309
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,160
his poise, his confidence. It just just the way he's

310
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,119
been able to man as a football game. To be

311
00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:16,359
quite honest, I mean, like to be able to do

312
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,359
as a true freshman is pretty remarkable.

313
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, you played, You played with what a sophomore John Beck,

314
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:25,680
you know, young quarterback that had seen playing time as

315
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,400
a as a freshman coming off a mission, and you know,

316
00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:31,279
John went through a refining fire. I don't know if

317
00:17:31,279 --> 00:17:35,960
he's supporting Cash collectively defensively, offensive line. There's a lot

318
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,079
of youth, a lot of talent there, but you know,

319
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,119
it's it's pretty remarkable what Bear has accomplished thus far.

320
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,000
Pretty stoic in nature. And I think his ability to

321
00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:49,920
run the ball. I know that's not the words maybe

322
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,920
a wide receiver once here is that your quarterback is

323
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,039
gonna run the ball twenty two times. But his ability

324
00:17:54,079 --> 00:17:57,039
to run the ball has definitely opened up some things.

325
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, absolutely, When you get a guy like

326
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,720
that that's a threat on the ground, man, that's that's

327
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,599
definitely going to open up a lot to the offense.

328
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,200
And frankly, something that that be, Yeah, that b what

329
00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:12,480
he hasn't had in a couple of years, and I

330
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,480
think I think as kind of relies on that. Right.

331
00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:17,839
Being able to have an athlete back there like a

332
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,039
Jared Hall or like a Taste or whoever, right is

333
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,400
going to add another dynamic. And and you know, the

334
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,279
chuck plays that a Rod does have up this sleever

335
00:18:28,599 --> 00:18:33,440
are are going to be far more successful just because

336
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,160
of the threat that he poses under center and being

337
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,440
able to create with his feet.

338
00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 3: If you had the you know, the opportunity to speak

339
00:18:41,759 --> 00:18:43,799
to this team prior to the Holy War, even like

340
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,279
leading up to this game like this week, what what

341
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,920
message would you give to this team as they prep

342
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,519
for this, uh this Riler game? Some of them played

343
00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:54,400
in it, some of them haven't played in it. Obviously

344
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,279
Bear hasn't played in this game yet. What's the words

345
00:18:57,279 --> 00:19:01,000
of advice from the wise and judicious BELLI.

346
00:19:02,519 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 4: If you lose, you're all done to me? Uh No,

347
00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:11,720
I I to be honest with you, I I would

348
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:13,480
just say just keep playing. You're you know the same,

349
00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:17,599
the same football man like the great thing about this

350
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,640
team just they know their identity, they know who they are.

351
00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:24,960
You know, everyone, just keep playing the way that you've

352
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,119
been playing. Don't don't try and do anything different, you know,

353
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,519
as fans. As fans, we you know, I'd love to

354
00:19:31,519 --> 00:19:34,519
see you get hyped. I love just treated differently. But

355
00:19:34,759 --> 00:19:36,920
you know, as a coach, you don't want your players

356
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,599
thinking too much about what the game means and what

357
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,960
the game means to the fans and feeling any type

358
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,079
of way or any type of pressure. Right. You just

359
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,240
want them going in and treating them like any other game.

360
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:52,920
So yeah, to me, I just say, just just keep

361
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,240
keep plugging away and uh, you know, don't treat this

362
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,319
anything like any different the other games that you've been

363
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,359
playing in, Right. I think when you tried to try

364
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,039
to do too much, that's when proms start to happen.

365
00:20:08,839 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 3: Last thing for you, ac before we let you go.

366
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,480
Actually a couple last things here. I think the statute

367
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,720
of limitations is up. I get you know, as I

368
00:20:17,079 --> 00:20:21,079
debate with fans and conversion fans, they bring up rivalry games,

369
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,920
they'll talk about specific so you know BA fans they are,

370
00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:28,119
they are very much They get into the the you know,

371
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,640
granular minutia of what happening games and what happened in

372
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:32,920
robberie games in two thousand and eight.

373
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 2: What they bring up to me is like.

374
00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:37,279
Speaker 3: Robert and I went away from the run game and

375
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,119
was throwing the.

376
00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: Ball too much. Is that true? Is that false?

377
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,559
Speaker 3: Give me your perspective on this, because I have to

378
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:46,799
field these questions all the time about the two thousand

379
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:49,319
and eight game. They say, Hey, Robert and I, it's

380
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,480
on his shoulders. We started throwing the ball. We were

381
00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:55,480
getting eight yards of pop with Harvey Unga. We went

382
00:20:55,519 --> 00:20:57,119
away from the run and that's why we lost. Give

383
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,039
me your thoughts.

384
00:20:59,319 --> 00:21:03,599
Speaker 4: You can never fill about too much. We probably didn't

385
00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:08,039
throw enough, Ben, That's what I would say as a receiver.

386
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,920
Did we throw Did we throw every play? No? Okay,

387
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,759
we didn't throw enough.

388
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,799
Speaker 2: You're a pretty good running the ball, though.

389
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:16,559
Speaker 3: You could have taken somebody in this a run off

390
00:21:16,599 --> 00:21:19,039
and you could take some jets, some reverses.

391
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: Maybe we underutilize your idea.

392
00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:24,599
Speaker 4: That No, that that game, that that game I did.

393
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,200
I had a couple of fly sweeps, dude, I had

394
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,640
a little uh, a little uh wildcat pulling.

395
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. We did it with you.

396
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 4: Huh yeah, all right, a few of those, so we

397
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,799
ran the ball plenty there.

398
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:40,759
Speaker 3: It is a C has has spoken. I don't need

399
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:42,599
to I'm just gonna pull your quotes from now on.

400
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,079

that game.

00:23:20,319 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: What position are your boys playing?

430
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,799
Speaker 4: Yes? Right, my my son is a freshman's a wide

431
00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:30,759
out and a corner, and my other son is a

432
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:37,240
He actually just took up quarterback. His yeah, his is

433
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,559
the starting quarterback for the team. Said he didn't want

434
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:41,839
to play quarterback anymore.

435
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,759
Speaker 5: So my son kind of stepped in and and uh

436
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,160
got got his bell run about a week and a

437
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,480
half ago. So he's still trying to get right from

438
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:55,759
that and get back on the field. But yeah, man,

439
00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:58,200

442
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,839
Speaker 3: I wondered, Man, I wonder I knew there was going

443
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,960
to be a quarterback because you know too much about

444
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,400
football not to have and and the two you know families,

445
00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:19,599
the Pendleton and Calley family combining, there had to be

446
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,319
a quarterback in your midst.

447
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 2: Man, I knew it.

448
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, but he's only been playing about five

449
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,440
six weeks too, But he does things that I mean

450
00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:31,200
that I'm like, but who you know, where'd you get

451
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,680
that from? Right? Like, he's got the bones, man, So
