Speaker 1: And there's a lot to talk about now.
Speaker 2: So joining us on the program right now is none
Speaker 2: other than Sammy Moore with the Ute Zone. Sammy, how
Speaker 2: you doing today and welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: I'm doing great, Scott, how are you well?
Speaker 2: You know, people ask me that I'm going to give
Speaker 2: you the same answer. I'm living the dream and it's
Speaker 2: not a nightmare. So I really feel like a life
Speaker 2: is good, really good.
Speaker 1: So football camp has started.
Speaker 2: What's just I know it's very very early, it's right
Speaker 2: in the beginning, but maybe just your kind of take
Speaker 2: on things in the very very early part of this
Speaker 2: fall camp.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean obviously, you know, media can't get in
Speaker 4: to watch any fall camps on like you know, we
Speaker 4: get the twenty minutes in the spring, so it's been
Speaker 4: just you know, hearing from.
Speaker 3: The coaches on what there was. It was very uh
Speaker 3: you know last year coming into the season, there was
Speaker 3: a lot of like hype around this team, uh because
Speaker 3: of you know, the returners, you had Cam, you had
Speaker 3: you know, hype for the Big twelve, all those sorts
Speaker 3: of things. And so I think this year it's it's
Speaker 3: taken a very different approach this year. I think, you know,
Speaker 3: they coaches, players, everyone has realized that, like you know,
Speaker 3: you learned the hard way last year that nothing is ever,
Speaker 3: you know, given in college football. And so I think
Speaker 3: it's been a very it's been a very different camp
Speaker 3: to cover, even going back to spring. You know, it's
Speaker 3: been a lot of we know we have to earn it,
Speaker 3: we know we have to get better, we know we
Speaker 3: have to improve from everyone from the coaching staff all
Speaker 3: the way down to the players. So it was, it was,
Speaker 3: it was, it was a fame thing on on on
Speaker 3: Tuesday or on Wednesday and Thursday. But you know, I
Speaker 3: think you know, guys can smell it, guys can feel that,
Speaker 3: you know, they're less than a month away now from
Speaker 3: a football game, and so I think it's a lot
Speaker 3: of fine tuning things. I think one of my biggest
Speaker 3: things that I you know, thought of and that stood
Speaker 3: out to me was Kyle Whittingham said after a practice
Speaker 3: on Wednesday that, you know, the offense was moving with
Speaker 3: a lot more efficiency, opening things up. I think, you know,
Speaker 3: not a lot of people talked about how hard it
Speaker 3: is to get personal packages on and off the field.
Speaker 3: That's something that fans don't really you know, think about
Speaker 3: when you're thinking about a football season. But you know,
Speaker 3: Kyle said that that was a big thing that he
Speaker 3: brought up, was that this team was getting the personnel
Speaker 3: groups onto the field in a quicker motion. Like it
Speaker 3: wasn't as you know, clanky, messy, whatever you want to
Speaker 3: call it, that it was in spring. But obviously, you
Speaker 3: know in spring they're implementing this whole new Jason Beck offense.
Speaker 3: So you know there was going to be some bumps,
Speaker 3: but it's good to hear that. You know, things are
Speaker 3: moving better with the offense as we inched closer to
Speaker 3: the season.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Jason Beck's offense, you know, everyone talks about
Speaker 2: the defense, and like, you know defense, you know, it's
Speaker 2: it's kind of a standard that is upheld pretty much
Speaker 2: every year, and it's just kind of where.
Speaker 1: Does the offense go? What can you do with the offense?
Speaker 2: Can the offense hold up its end of the deal,
Speaker 2: and what do you think needs to happen like with
Speaker 2: this offense, with Jason Beck's offense in year one of
Speaker 2: all of this, what kind of urgency do you think
Speaker 2: he feels, What kind of pressure do you think he
Speaker 2: feels and does he have I guess the manpower to
Speaker 2: accomplish what he needs to have to happen.
Speaker 1: So what needs to happen with this Utah offense?
Speaker 3: I mean, I think from last year, the standard for
Speaker 3: offense is kind of like it's on It's like it's
Speaker 3: a ground level like any semblance of a passing offense.
Speaker 3: Any amount of points that's over probably like thirty is
Speaker 3: going to be a step in the right direction compared
Speaker 3: to last season. But I do think, you know, the
Speaker 3: biggest thing, at least for me heading into the season
Speaker 3: is can Devin Dampier stay healthy? I mean, all reports
Speaker 3: indicate that the Utah offensive line is by far one
Speaker 3: of the best they've probably ever had. And that's by
Speaker 3: far the only group that I will continue to hype
Speaker 3: up this season because you know, it's there's two projected
Speaker 3: first round draft picks and Setterfano and kayleb Blomu to
Speaker 3: know what TOGII is one of PFF's highest graded like
Speaker 3: guards in the in P four heading into the season,
Speaker 3: and then Michael Milkathisi and Darren Kump have also played
Speaker 3: a lot of very important football for Utah. So I think,
Speaker 3: you know, if Devin Dampier can stay healthy, and you know,
Speaker 3: if that offensive line can stay in tact and help
Speaker 3: keep him healthy and protected. I think, you know, you're
Speaker 3: gonna see some more vertical threat. You're going to see
Speaker 3: some actual passing offense. You're gonna see way Sean Parker
Speaker 3: and Nakarie Rodgers and Bryce Duke get theirs on the ground.
Speaker 3: You're gonna see Devin get his on the ground. So
Speaker 3: I think that you know, know, if you talk, can
Speaker 3: score this season, and I know that's like a low
Speaker 3: bar to have if you talk and score efficiently. I
Speaker 3: think that this offense is doing what it needs to do.
Speaker 3: You know, this defense last year very well kept them
Speaker 3: in as many games as they possibly could have, but
Speaker 3: you know, lots of quick free and outs or for
Speaker 3: the offense, you know, put the defense back into some
Speaker 3: really tough positions. There were games down the stretch where
Speaker 3: you could see that the defense was getting gassed because
Speaker 3: they were on the sideline for what like a minute
Speaker 3: and a half two minutes and then they were right
Speaker 3: back out there. I think the BYU game stands out
Speaker 3: to me in that aspect, But you know, I'm interested
Speaker 3: in his offense. I think there's a lot to possibly
Speaker 3: look forward to and be excited about You know, I've
Speaker 3: watched a lot of New Mexico football between December and now,
Speaker 3: and I've also went back watching to Jason Beck's offense.
Speaker 3: For youracuse, there's a reason be excited about the what
Speaker 3: this offense can possibly entail, you know. So it's just
Speaker 3: a matter of can they put it all together, can
Speaker 3: they start doing things? Who's going to step up at
Speaker 3: wide receiver, how are the Titans going to contribute. There's
Speaker 3: just a lot of questions. But you know, like early
Speaker 3: reports from some of the players, it seems like the
Speaker 3: offense is like it's starting to click for them.
Speaker 2: So my concern it just seems kind of like a
Speaker 2: dilemma with the quarterback. And you mentioned Devin dan Pierre
Speaker 2: staying healthy. Part of his game, A big part of
Speaker 2: his game is running. And you look at the history
Speaker 2: of Utah winning championships. Quarterbacks ran. You know, get to
Speaker 2: the Pac twelve championship with Tyler Huntley, he was you know,
Speaker 2: he made some big plays running. The same thing with
Speaker 2: Cam Rising and actually both of them ended up getting
Speaker 2: hurt and it cost the team. So how do you
Speaker 2: how do you how do you balance that? How do
Speaker 2: you how do you let Devon run because he needs to,
Speaker 2: because that's a part of his game. But how do
Speaker 2: you how do you keep him healthy, how do you
Speaker 2: keep him up right? How do you keep him on
Speaker 2: the field.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think I think a lot of the
Speaker 3: like the things with you know, both Cam and with
Speaker 3: Tyler was the sliding was not a big forte for them.
Speaker 3: They were not the biggest fans of it. So I think,
Speaker 3: you know, Devin's a smart kid. I think Devin knows
Speaker 3: when to get down, when to get out of balance,
Speaker 3: and you know he does he it was like I
Speaker 3: think it was in during spring ball he said, I
Speaker 3: know how to take a hit to protect myself, and
Speaker 3: so I think, you know, he knows what he's doing.
Speaker 3: I think he's prepared to do. He's prepared that way.
Speaker 3: You know, he's been a mobile quarterback his entire career,
Speaker 3: So I think it's that. But I think, you know,
Speaker 3: the hope is that he's not rushing for eleven hundred
Speaker 3: yards like he did last season, because you know, a
Speaker 3: lot of the time last season when he was running,
Speaker 3: he was running for his life. In Mexico did not
Speaker 3: have the greatest offensive line, and so with the better
Speaker 3: offensive line, that Utah has the hope and the expectation
Speaker 3: is is that Devin isn't forced to flush out of
Speaker 3: the pocket as quickly. He isn't running for his life.
Speaker 3: He's able to you know, be smart with when he
Speaker 3: runs and when he doesn't. I mean, I think, like
Speaker 3: I said, he's a smarketed. He knows how to get
Speaker 3: out of bounce, he knows how to get down. Like
Speaker 3: I think that he's very aware of what he needs
Speaker 3: to do to keep himself healthy so that he can
Speaker 3: still you know, rush for however many yards in the season,
Speaker 3: but also pass for as many yards in the season
Speaker 3: that he needs to.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: I'm fascinated with your comment about watching a lot of
Speaker 2: New Mexico film in your study.
Speaker 1: What really stood out to you? What?
Speaker 2: What did you what did you glean from from that research?
Speaker 2: And uh time he spent with that.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think the first thing that is so
Speaker 3: that was Devin put this team and a lot of
Speaker 3: opportunities to win. But inversely the Utah's team, where the
Speaker 3: defense put Utah and a lot of opportunities to win,
Speaker 3: Devin in New Mexico put their offense. The offense put
Speaker 3: the team in a lot of ways to win, but
Speaker 3: the defense couldn't get it done. And so I think,
Speaker 3: you know, there's there's a lot like Jason even said
Speaker 3: during his press conference this week that you know, this
Speaker 3: is an ever evolving offense. Like he said that when
Speaker 3: they first started last year in New Mexico, he thought
Speaker 3: he was gonna have five or six receivers to rely
Speaker 3: upon and they weren't going to be running as much.
Speaker 3: But then you know, those receivers started struggling and they
Speaker 3: ended up with like Ian he said, two or three
Speaker 3: receivers and one tight end that were producing. And then
Speaker 3: the running backs were producing a lot more, and so
Speaker 3: you know, the offense evolved and shifted into more of
Speaker 3: a a run first offense. You know, it's a lot
Speaker 3: of there's RPO, there's a lot of QB reads. The
Speaker 3: screen game was big for them. They had a couple
Speaker 3: of like really fast guys that could get off like
Speaker 3: get out of the edge and just go and just
Speaker 3: take it. So you know, it was there were some
Speaker 3: good moments watching New Mexico football, but then there was
Speaker 3: also some like not great moments watching New Mexico football. Because,
Speaker 3: like I said, Devin had like his interception tools. I know,
Speaker 3: it's something that people are not happy about as we
Speaker 3: head into the season. But there were like three or
Speaker 3: four of those interceptions if I can remember them correctly
Speaker 3: off the top of my head. That the ball hit
Speaker 3: the wide receiver straight in the hand, it bounced off,
Speaker 3: you know, things that were not in his control. You know,
Speaker 3: he put the ball in a good place. It's just
Speaker 3: his wide receivers, his tight ends, his running backs just
Speaker 3: didn't come down with the ball and it led to
Speaker 3: those interceptions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a that's a cruol game. They play those quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: I used to be a quarterback, and darn receivers dropping
Speaker 2: the passes and then they get intercepted and that goes
Speaker 2: on you. It's just not right, Sammy, It is not right.
Speaker 3: I mean, PFF does a lovely way to break it
Speaker 3: down into turnover worthy plays, and if it's deemed like
Speaker 3: the quarterback's fault or the wide receiver's fault, it's actually
Speaker 3: pretty interesting and stuff.
Speaker 2: So turnover worthy plays. I like that, all right, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna have to check that out. Where was that when
Speaker 2: I was playing? It's like, you know, the worst one
Speaker 2: was when you throw the hell mary at halftime because
Speaker 2: because most of the time, it just gets intercepted. And
Speaker 2: now they teach the players to bat the ball down
Speaker 2: to the ground. But the likelihood of getting an interception
Speaker 2: in that play was pretty pretty high. But anyways, I
Speaker 2: digress thirty new players that joined the team since spring football.
Speaker 2: Who of those thirty can really help this team? And
Speaker 2: you know what, what's the likelihood? Because I think it's
Speaker 2: you know, it's a little challenging to get up to
Speaker 2: speed and expect some of these guys to really contribute.
Speaker 2: But who do you think can contribute? Of these new
Speaker 2: guys that are joining.
Speaker 3: The team, there are four that were like spring slash
Speaker 3: summer editions that quickly pop into mind for me. The
Speaker 3: two obvious ones are Tobias Merriweather and Larry Simmons, the
Speaker 3: wide receiver and them that they pulled out of the portal. Tobias,
Speaker 3: you know, haven't Devin said at practice it Tobias is
Speaker 3: one of the guys like he has made some big
Speaker 3: plays with Devin over the last you know, just two
Speaker 3: days of practice from what Devin has said and stuff,
Speaker 3: And so I think Tobias is going to be, you know,
Speaker 3: vuying for that wide receiver one spot, big guy six
Speaker 3: five around two hundred pounds, fast, good hands. It was
Speaker 3: a former uh FO high four star recruit, verging on
Speaker 3: a five star according to twenty four to seven. He
Speaker 3: ended up at Notre Dame, spent a couple of seasons
Speaker 3: at Notre Dame, and then transferred to cal last year.
Speaker 3: He's probably gonna be one of those top wide receivers
Speaker 3: for this team this year. Larry Simmons is a transfer
Speaker 3: from Southern Miss. Utahually recruited amount of high school and
Speaker 3: he ended up at Ole Miss for a year or two,
Speaker 3: then he transferred to Southern Myths, and then he finally
Speaker 3: found his way to Utah this summer. He's another guy
Speaker 3: like Southern Myss football also was also hard to watch
Speaker 3: last year, and I watched some of that begin to
Speaker 3: feel on how well he could do to this team.
Speaker 2: But it sounds like you've been parturing yourself watching these
Speaker 2: terrible football teams.
Speaker 1: Don't do it.
Speaker 3: I do it, Hey, I do it because I need
Speaker 3: to see what Utah's getting in these guys. And Larry's
Speaker 3: one of those players that you know, like if if
Speaker 3: the Southern missoffensive line could hold up for longer than
Speaker 3: two seconds and the quarterback could deliver a somewhat decent ball.
Speaker 3: Larry was this type of guy that could turn something
Speaker 3: that looked like it was a two yard catch into
Speaker 3: like a fifteen yard game. And so I think that
Speaker 3: he's another one that could get in there. It's just
Speaker 3: again for him and for Tobias, it's building that chemistry
Speaker 3: with Devon getting everything under control. Learning the offense. Bryce
Speaker 3: Duke is a running back turner from old dominion. I
Speaker 3: could see him somehow working his way into that like
Speaker 3: top three running back. I don't think he's gonna He's
Speaker 3: not gonna take over Waishan at number one way Shawn Parker,
Speaker 3: but he he very well could be that number two guy.
Speaker 3: By far, the biggest back in this room. I think
Speaker 3: he's like six foot six one around two ten, so
Speaker 3: he's the biggest guy by far. And you know, Beck
Speaker 3: described him on Wednesday as like he's like he has
Speaker 3: an added receiving element, which you know, that's something that
Speaker 3: you can bring into the game. He watching his film,
Speaker 3: it's a lot of power back, short yardage situations, bowling
Speaker 3: ball down a hill type things with him. And then
Speaker 3: I think the last one, all of them are on offense.
Speaker 3: I think the last one is JJ Buchanan. He's a
Speaker 3: true freshman tight end from Nevada, insanely high IQ player.
Speaker 3: He was one of the highest highest rated recruits in
Speaker 3: Utahs class for twenty twenty five, but he just, you know,
Speaker 3: Freddie Whittingham said, he's up to two twenty five with
Speaker 3: a vertical that you know, he can jump out of
Speaker 3: a gym level height. And you know, JJ was someone
Speaker 3: that he could have played either way. He could have
Speaker 3: played tight end, he could have played safety, he could
Speaker 3: have played wide receiver like he played all three of
Speaker 3: them in high school. And he's the versatility that they
Speaker 3: have with him, and also just pure athleticism I think
Speaker 3: is going to be massive for this Utah team. You know,
Speaker 3: he's a guy that I think put him in line,
Speaker 3: you can put him out in the flex, you can
Speaker 3: move him in different ways, and I think I think
Speaker 3: JJ is probably going to see the field a good
Speaker 3: amount this season.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, because I was going to ask you
Speaker 2: about the tight end position. It's the one a lot
Speaker 2: of people haven't been talking about, but Utah has talked
Speaker 2: in the sense that they needed depth there and so
Speaker 2: you think that you think the true freshmen actually can
Speaker 2: contribute and add to this offense early on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think of the tight ends, I think it's
Speaker 3: it's going to be some sort of combination of you know,
Speaker 3: all the four guys that are like vying for spots
Speaker 3: or auto Tia, Dallen, Bentley, Hunter, Andrews and JJ Buchanan
Speaker 3: and I think, you know, I think when everything shakes out,
Speaker 3: I think, you know, the three leading receivers in that room,
Speaker 3: or the three actually I'll say the three most conductive
Speaker 3: because I know Hunter has the ability to be you know,
Speaker 3: all over the field. I'll say that three are going
Speaker 3: to be It's going to be Dollon, Hunter and JJ.
Speaker 3: I think are the three biggest contributors from the tight
Speaker 3: end room at the end of the season. I'm not
Speaker 3: saying they're going to put up you know, Kinkaid and
Speaker 3: Keithy numbers, but you know they're going to get there.
Speaker 3: They're going to do what they need to do, and
Speaker 3: they're going to have some big plays. I think.
Speaker 2: Everyone's talked about Lander, Barton and Smith Stowte and going
Speaker 2: over and participating on the offense. Is that is that
Speaker 2: concerned by the team that maybe there's not enough weapons,
Speaker 2: there's not enough production there or is it something that
Speaker 2: really make the team more dynamic?
Speaker 1: Where do you land on that one?
Speaker 3: Interesting you actually asked this. We actually talked about this
Speaker 3: on our ut Zone podcast that comes out on Monday.
Speaker 3: But I think, you know, I don't think it has
Speaker 3: anything to do with the lack of production, or the
Speaker 3: lack of you know, experienced playmakers, all those sorts of things.
Speaker 3: I think it just has to do with Beck has
Speaker 3: said we need to put the best eleven players on
Speaker 3: the field at any given time, and if Lander and
Speaker 3: Smith for a certain package, a certain situation, a certain whatever,
Speaker 3: are part of that best eleven, you gotta put them
Speaker 3: on the field. I think, you know, Travis Hunter has
Speaker 3: I think started a shift in college football where you're
Speaker 3: gonna see more two way players. I'm not saying every
Speaker 3: team is gonna have like seventy of them or like
Speaker 3: six of them. I don't know why I said seventy,
Speaker 3: but you're not gonna have a lot of them, But
Speaker 3: you know every team might have one or two that
Speaker 3: you know, is those special situational two way players. I
Speaker 3: don't see this becoming a thing kind of like you
Speaker 3: know the Dejon Stanley wheel route we had last year
Speaker 3: where it was like they worked twice against SUU and
Speaker 3: they just decided to like run it into the ground
Speaker 3: and every team could like sniff it from a mile away.
Speaker 3: I just think it's gonna be situational things. I don't
Speaker 3: think it has anything to do with, you know, who's
Speaker 3: available at tight end or who's available at wide receiver.
Speaker 3: I think it's just like doing everything that this team
Speaker 3: can to win this year.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of talent, there's maybe not some experience
Speaker 2: at certain positions of defensive tackle position, cornerback.
Speaker 1: They're looking for a cornerback. What what's what? What?
Speaker 2: What's your sense on who's going to emerge in those
Speaker 2: those battles there and who.
Speaker 1: Do you like.
Speaker 3: At the outside corner spot opposite Scooby Davis. I've been
Speaker 3: really bullish on Blake Cotton the UC Davis transfer. Blake
Speaker 3: has been described as a sponge, you know, and like
Speaker 3: as a corner. That's something that you really need, especially
Speaker 3: with how you know Utah runs zone, Utah runs a man,
Speaker 3: the different things that u Thaugh's asking for you or
Speaker 3: of you when you play that, and then you add
Speaker 3: in the added element that you know Morgan Scaley loves,
Speaker 3: loves and exotic blitz and sometimes that includes the corner
Speaker 3: blitz and stuff. And so I think Blake is the
Speaker 3: best option I think, but you know, Donovan Fonders and
Speaker 3: Rock Calbell both are gonna do everything they can to
Speaker 3: push for it. J C. Hart, the Auburn transfer to
Speaker 3: join the team this summer. I could see him somehow,
Speaker 3: you know, pushing everybody ahead of him. Jac is an
Speaker 3: insanely fast and insanely smart kid, like track level speed,
Speaker 3: but also high school valedictorian and has like a four
Speaker 3: point zero out of high school. So he's someone that
Speaker 3: I think can just bring the rest of the group
Speaker 3: along and you know, push everyone else to get better.
Speaker 3: As for the final d tackle spot, so DT four, basically,
Speaker 3: I honestly think it's gonna be Carson KAFUSI. You know,
Speaker 3: he was here for spring. He had a grasp of
Speaker 3: the offense or the defense, I should say. You know,
Speaker 3: he's big, six', five good weight. ALREADY i think he'll
Speaker 3: lock up that deed tackle flour. Spot but by the
Speaker 3: time the end of the season comes, AROUND i wouldn't
Speaker 3: be shocked If Poop sapalona has made some sort of
Speaker 3: impact on the. Team you, know Kid he's a fourth
Speaker 3: star kid From, hawaii very very very new in his football.
Speaker 3: Career he's a two time is The hawaii basketball, Player,
Speaker 3: like very new to. Football but the sheer talent and
Speaker 3: raw athleticism that that kid has is so fun to.
Speaker 3: Watch SO i wouldn't be shocked if by you, know
Speaker 3: at some point this, season you, Know Poo poo does
Speaker 3: something that just sets everyone on fire and they're so
Speaker 3: excited about the future with him at the.
Speaker 1: Tackle he has to.
Speaker 2: Play i'll just tell you right, now he has to
Speaker 2: play because he has the. Name he has to play.
Speaker 2: LIKE i can't wait to announce that. NAME i can't
Speaker 2: wait to talk about. Him so please please be the.
Speaker 2: Guy that's. All that's All i'm asking. For, okay you,
Speaker 2: know we we've we've been analyzing, this we've been assessing
Speaker 2: all of.
Speaker 1: This you, know there's a lot of, optimism there's a
Speaker 1: lot of.
Speaker 2: Belief and the optimism is that Coach whittingham has been
Speaker 2: very successful for a long time and they've had a
Speaker 2: formula they know that, works and they it looks like
Speaker 2: the defense pretty stout getting kind of. Excited you, know
Speaker 2: a lot of, PEOPLE i, mean they talk about this
Speaker 2: offensive line and they're talking about it around the. Country you,
Speaker 2: know two first round potential, Drafts Devin, dampier you, know
Speaker 2: newcomer to The big twelve type of. Conversations so we're
Speaker 2: getting some, hype there's getting, there there's you, know it's not,
Speaker 2: like oh, Yeah, utah they're.
Speaker 1: Toast. Okay SO i want you to be honest with.
Speaker 2: ME i want you to really put take the rose
Speaker 2: colored glasses off and really honestly give me what your
Speaker 2: gut tells you about this team this. Year are they?
Speaker 2: Pretenders are they? Contenders do they have a? Shot where
Speaker 2: is this team really this?
Speaker 3: Year If Devin dampier stays, healthy And i've said this
Speaker 3: for the last six months over on your, zone If
Speaker 3: Devin dampier stays healthy And utah has a true past
Speaker 3: game this, SEASON i could see them going ten and.
Speaker 3: Two but on the flip, SIDE i could also see
Speaker 3: them going nine and. Three there's a couple of games
Speaker 3: That i'm kind of, like, YEAH i don't know How i'm,
Speaker 3: feeling you, Know but if If devin stays, HEALTHY i
Speaker 3: think THAT i think nine and three to ten and
Speaker 3: two is WHERE i Think utah goes because this defense
Speaker 3: is just so good you, know there's a lot of
Speaker 3: weapons on, offense AND i fully expect That Jason beck
Speaker 3: is going to get everyone to give their fullest and
Speaker 3: give everything they have to this offense this. Year AND
Speaker 3: i think THAT i just think that that's you, KNOW
Speaker 3: i THINK i, HONESTLY i honestly think that the last two,
Speaker 3: years with injuries and, EVERYTHING i think is gonna be
Speaker 3: like a blip in the past by the time that
Speaker 3: the season's. OVER i, mean if but If devin gets
Speaker 3: If devin goes, down god, FORBID i think you, know
Speaker 3: you're probably talking six and six.
Speaker 2: Maybe Uh, so who are they If devin stays?
Speaker 1: Healthy who are the two games That utah.
Speaker 3: Loses i've gone back and forth between some sort of
Speaker 3: combination Of Arizona, State Kansas, state And Texas. Tech it's
Speaker 3: some sort of combination of those three in my in my,
Speaker 3: OPINION i know a lot of people are, like, Well
Speaker 3: Texas tech, has you, know all those, transfers how are
