49
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,439
bye week went from your perspective, I.

50
00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: Thought it was a great week for us.

51
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,479
Speaker 4: Still, we're able to accomplish a lot as far as

52
00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:40,039
practice and preparation for Texas Tech. It's always great to

53
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:41,960
get an extra week of prep, especially in a big

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,120
game like this. We're able to get a lot of

55
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:48,439
good recovery into good some good rest for the bodies,

56
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,719
you know, playing a sixth six game stretch, and we

57
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,319
got a little got a little banged up, but we

58
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,520
should be in a really good spot heading into our

59
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,159
preparation for for this week.

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: We delved into the injury report last week or yesterday.

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,360
Excuse me and yeah, we're trending in the right direction.

62
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:10,800
I think Kelly Papinga had gone on in front of

63
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,360
the media and stated that most of the defense should

64
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:16,240
be back. I think there's still maybe some question marks

65
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,039
around obviously shape. Bryan Strowther is out, Marcus McKenzie, we

66
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,919
haven't got a a any sort of clarification on him,

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,360
how he's trending. Raider de Mooney should be back, Temmy

68
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,479
Prasss should be back. All of your linebackers should be back.

69
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,479
Will there be one hundred percent healthy? I don't know

70
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:41,000
anyone's one hundred percent healthy. Jack Kelly has two shoulder injuries,

71
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,719
so he may be braced up and restricted a little

72
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:49,240
bit in the shoulders, But that man's the juggernaut, I

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,520
mean just running around anyways.

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,439
Speaker 1: They don't have a whole lot of shoulder mobility anyway.

75
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: But Isaiah Glasker has been dealing with a lower extremity injury,

76
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,360
most likely an ankle that looks like he's been spatted

77
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,039
throughout the sea. So, uh, you hope he's ready to

78
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,240
go in full strength because he's been a little bit

79
00:04:07,199 --> 00:04:09,520
what I would deem his top heavy. Whenever you have

80
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,599
a lower e tremity injury, and you're not able to

81
00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:16,000
maximize kind of this neual muscular output due to an.

82
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Ankle, foot, knee, hip.

83
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: He's sometimes even back injury and like your entire lower

84
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,319
half just gets emaciated.

85
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,639
Speaker 1: It's just not as explosive.

86
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,399
Speaker 2: You're not able to generate as much force or absorb

87
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:32,040
as much force. There's been plenty of times where he's

88
00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:34,519
just at a position and he gets flat backed, or

89
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,399
he he misses a tackle. He just hasn't been on a

90
00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:39,519
hundred percent, and he's been a bit of a shadow

91
00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:40,279
of himself since.

92
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: I think the Colorado game.

93
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:44,399
Speaker 2: After the Colorado game is when or during the Colorado

94
00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:48,160
game is when he sustained the injury. So hopefully he's

95
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:52,560
ready to go, ready to roll. But LJ on the

96
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,279
offensive side of the ball. It looked to me, and

97
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,839
I've chatted with a number of physicians as they've evaluated

98
00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:00,879
the mechanism of the injury. I think LJ is going

99
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,279
to be fine. I think he's going to be ready

100
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,399
to go. I think it's an ac joint spraining. How

101
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:07,800
severe is it? Is it a Grade two? Is it

102
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,279
a Grade three? Could be either one of those. Pain

103
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,879
management is going to be critical and also creating an

104
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,600
environment where that ac joint.

105
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it can get worse.

106
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: It can, but you know, creating an environment where it's

107
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,160
not going to get worse. Is it going to be

108
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:29,600
as aggressive and lowering your shoulder as he once was

109
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,800
early in the season. That's the question I have regarding LJ.

110
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:35,480
I think he'll be ready to go. I think it'll

111
00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:40,399
be good. But will he be as violent as we've

112
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,360
seen him showcase thus far this season?

113
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 5: Yeah?

114
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,639
Speaker 6: I don't think you necessarily need to be as violent,

115
00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:49,079
but I do think you need LJ. Martin because the

116
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,480
eighty five per ljban eighty percent LJ is still better

117
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:53,120
than no LJ.

118
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:55,639
Speaker 5: Because of right now, you do have an issue.

119
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:58,439
Speaker 6: A running back Depth Kline can say, oh, there are

120
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,879
people you guys just don't know who they are.

121
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 5: You've heard that.

122
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 6: I believe that, but until you see it, we can't

123
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,519
say hypotheticals. You have to go what is true. And

124
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,480
Aaron rodderck on coordinator this Corner, said it last week.

125
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,800
Their offense is building predicated around LJ. Martin, So you

126
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:14,240
have to think he's the Key's the keystone.

127
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 5: Love that.

128
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 6: I love that he's the keystone offense. He's definitely the

129
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,120
keystone of the offense. And on top of that, if

130
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,480
he was mentioned by Kline. We played this sound yesterday

131
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:26,240
on the show that you missed it download on the podcast.

132
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,680
LJ is been practicing, going in practice, and it looks

133
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,560
like if you're practicing. According to Colone, and this is

134
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,040
going two years ago, I want to remind people in

135
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,920
twenty twenty three, Colonie said, there's a multitude of times

136
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:40,759
multitude to you like that. If you're not practicing, Ben,

137
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:43,639
you're not gonna play. That's just how it goes. So

138
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,399
guys that are practicing will make the travel trip. There's

139
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:49,120
a good chance to will play. If you're not practicing,

140
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,800
you're not going to play. That doesn't happen. I bring

141
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:53,839
up TP for instance, he had posted a video of

142
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,279
Trade making a play. It looked like he was in

143
00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:58,319
his living room. So all of that matters, I think

144
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,759
at the end of the day, but I think LJ

145
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,639
will play and again better than no LG at all.

146
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: Tanner Wall after the extra prep. What do you see

147
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,680
on film from the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

148
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.

149
00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: We're able to to watch the Kansas State game on

150
00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:20,519
Saturday too, And in addition to you know, the film

151
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,759
prep that we've already put in.

152
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:24,399
Speaker 3: From a from.

153
00:07:24,279 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 4: A defensive perspective, I guess evaluating the offense, they got

154
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,160
a lot of great personnel, two good two good running

155
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:34,199
backs that they use. They're tight end to number seven.

156
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,319
It's a lot of good yards after the catch too.

157
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,399
He had had some big plays in the Kansas State game,

158
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:42,759
and you know, some great receivers for Moreton to throw

159
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,519
the ball down the field too. But just pretty balanced offense.

160
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,199
I feel like they're able to get the ball in

161
00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:53,160
the hands of their playmakers and get get good chunk

162
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,360
yardage plays and they've can They've consistently showed that on film.

163
00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:03,639
Speaker 2: So yeah, this is a good football team. This is

164
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,639
a great football team that b He's facing, and a

165
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:12,800
football team that, unfortunately for BYU, experienced a loss on

166
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:18,000
the road to ASU a few weeks ago, which rejuvenated, revitalized,

167
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,439
and repositioned them to be a little bit more salty,

168
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,120
a little bit more angry, a little bit more just

169
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,839
has a little bit more Vigoran Vim and pepin this step.

170
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:36,759
I wish Texas Tech was obviously undefeated right now, maybe

171
00:08:36,759 --> 00:08:39,200
they were in their fields. They were believing their their

172
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:41,960
fecal matter, don't stink, all those things right that they

173
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,519
were the bell of the ball of the Big twelve.

174
00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:48,360
They were the bees knees of the Big twelve. They

175
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:51,919
were brett yor Mark's you know, baby, you know that's

176
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,919
all those bees right. Like I wanted that because I'd

177
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,879
feel more comfortable and more optimistic about b what you

178
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,159
going in and maybe shocking the world a little bit

179
00:09:02,639 --> 00:09:07,320
because of BYU's culture, because of the stay humble, stay hungry,

180
00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:12,639
you know, next man up, next game up, focus, keeping

181
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,799
the main thing, the main thing, all those things that

182
00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:20,720
I think love and learning embody the Kalani culture at BYU.

183
00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: So this is gonna be a tough one.

184
00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: And this Texas Tech defense one of the main key

185
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:29,840
stats that I'm looking at. And it's cliche to say,

186
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:33,600
but since Joey McGuire brought it up in his media availability,

187
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,600
I think Texas Tech right now is something like plus

188
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,960
eight and turnover marchin Bway's plus ten. That's gonna be

189
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,519
a key statistical factor in this game. Who's able to

190
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:48,919
number one not give up the ball and take away

191
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,200
the ball. We'll see how that plays out. And see

192
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,159
if this defense of BYU can slow down the Texas

193
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,919
Tech offense led by Baron Morton.

194
00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:01,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've seen j He'll have success being with the

195
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,559
quarterbacks that like to throw the ball down and field vertical. Now,

196
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,440
Texas Tech is one of the best at doing in

197
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,639
the country. I'm going to say that the best, but

198
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,960
they're up there. Baron Morden is able to do that,

199
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:18,399
so we shouldn't be surprised that they're going to throw

200
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:21,240
the football. So Kugarnation, don't freak out, don't flip out

201
00:10:21,639 --> 00:10:24,639
when Baron Morden completes, you know, maybe a thirty five

202
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:25,840
or a fifty yard pass.

203
00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:28,279
Speaker 5: Those things happen. And again you already have data points.

204
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 6: I will stay one first player of the game and

205
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,080
they went to the house, so it's on the docket

206
00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:33,840
that that can happen to BAU and that they can

207
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,080
bounce back. But I do think you bring up a

208
00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:40,759
very valid point is that whoever doesn't turn over the

209
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:43,960
football wins this game. It's very simple, and I think

210
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,279
that BYU has showcased that they can do that. Now

211
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:48,399
Texas Tech is getting force in the ball. But here's

212
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:49,720
something I want to bring up. You want to talk

213
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,840
about ball security. I don't think it's going to be interceptions, Ben.

214
00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:54,639
I don't think Bear turning over the football in the

215
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,879
air is the problem. I think when Chase Roberts, Parker

216
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,600
Kingston yards after catch, which a lot of the wide

217
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,720
receivers have a lot a good portion of Bears yards

218
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:05,000
are that we've looked at data.

219
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:07,919
Speaker 5: Talked about that earlier last month in the show.

220
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 6: Jacob Roriguez can force fumbles, Ben, he can punch the

221
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,159
football out. He leads the country in forced fumbles and

222
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,960
knocking the ball out. He had two in the Kansas

223
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,559
State game. So if you're Carson Ryan, if you're Chase Roberts,

224
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,559
if you're a pkn you're coming across the middle. Jacob Riguez

225
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:24,799
doesn't go to tackle you, Ben, he doesn't watch film.

226
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,440
He goes and he punches down on the ball. Hashtag

227
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,279
pinut Tillman my Chicago Bears. He does that. So you

228
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:33,120
need to be aware of ball security, of maintaining the

229
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,000
ball once you start to run, because that's how Texas

230
00:11:36,039 --> 00:11:38,639
Tech's linebackers are able to take away They force it

231
00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:40,960
by hitting you hard and then stripping the ball.

232
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,639
Speaker 5: So hold on to the ball and go down.

233
00:11:42,639 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 6: So if you're Bear in the run game, Bear likes

234
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,720
to run with the two hands Ben, and we've seen

235
00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:49,440
him almost fumble it. You got to protect that ball, Bear,

236
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,120
because those guys behind that defensive line, great defensive line

237
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,159
for Texas Tech, by the way, they can punch the

238
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,960
ball out and I've seen it and they're dangerous. And

239
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,399
if you turn over the football in Lubbock, especially with

240
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,759
this team Ben, they beat people by taking away to

241
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:05,879
football by twenty or more. I think you got to

242
00:12:05,919 --> 00:12:09,080
be very cautious of ball security, not in the air,

243
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,799
but once you get past the line of scrimmage.

244
00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: In my opinion, let's get back to Tanner Wall and

245
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:16,080
a little player profile brought to you by or throw

246
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,360
Pros of Utah, Orthropros of Utah dot com. We distributed

247
00:12:19,399 --> 00:12:21,159
with the Beatica in sports medical supplies. We can build

248
00:12:21,159 --> 00:12:23,600
out to your insurance or you could utilize an HSA

249
00:12:23,759 --> 00:12:27,039
or HSA card. As far as your own improvements and

250
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,840
the defense in general, what aspects have you been focused

251
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,679
on in the final stretch of the season, Tannerwall.

252
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,519
Speaker 4: I think a focus for us that came up after

253
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:43,600
some of our Iowa State game review is just kind

254
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,720
of shifting our mentality from the doing your one eleventh

255
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:50,720
to the dominating your one eleventh, like not enough anymore?

256
00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:54,159
Is it good enough to just do your one eleventh,

257
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,440
like you got to win your one eleventh, And so

258
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,639
in that in the Iowa State game, you could kind

259
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,799
of see there was a big contrast between like the

260
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,720
first twenty eight minutes and the last thirty two kind

261
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,960
of looked like two different defenses that were out there

262
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,399
for us, but just in the way that guys were

263
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,559
winning their one to eleventh and doing their job and

264
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,279
doing it well.

265
00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: So continuing to trust our scheme but.

266
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,799
Speaker 4: Doing your job while making plays and dominating is a

267
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,879
mentality that we're trying to definitely ingrain within our heads

268
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,440
so that we can go out and play that way.

269
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:30,240
And I think it's going to allow us.

270
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: If everyone's doing their job, everyone's in the right spot.

271
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 4: We have such a sound scheme and defense that we're

272
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,000
gonna limit big yardage plays and always put ourselves in

273
00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:40,399
good situations to win on third down.

274
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,759
Speaker 2: Love that breakdown from Tanner Wall and you know, focusing

275
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,159
on once again keeping the main thing the main thing

276
00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:53,600
and third down defense, taking the ball away, stopping the run.

277
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:59,919
There's a progression and a certain amount of like standard,

278
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,759
uh standard that that has been set by Jay Hill,

279
00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:09,759
Gary Anderson, Kelly Papinga, those that that are coaching up

280
00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:15,399
the defense that just is is truly remarkable to watch

281
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:20,440
and and I love it because we're seeing some fantastic

282
00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:25,279
schemes being employed, an individual effort that helps the collective

283
00:14:26,279 --> 00:14:27,360
the collective defense.

284
00:14:27,879 --> 00:14:28,039
Speaker 1: UH.

285
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: Tanner's a big part of that, being the communicator, being

286
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,799
one of the leaders of that back end. And I

287
00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:36,399
can't wait to see how they fare versus this Texas

288
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,519
Tech offense, best offense I think that they faced all season,

289
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,799
and I mean.

290
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,639
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough one.

291
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,679
Speaker 2: Like as I mentioned Texas Tech yesterday, I was just

292
00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:49,679
rolling through the numbers.

293
00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: They have one loss. Obviously it was a four point loss.

294
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,639
Speaker 2: On the road day issue, but their average margin of

295
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,840
victory is thirty four freaking points. That means they're putting

296
00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:03,000
up that's a number games and their their closest game

297
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:08,320
has been an eighteen point win against Houston outside of

298
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,759
that one loss, that four point loss.

299
00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: So good team, good team, and you got to be prepped.

300
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,639
The bye. We couldn't have come at a better time.

301
00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:18,440
For Brigham. Let's get to number four.

302
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,559
Speaker 2: Following up on that was that coladi or j Hill

303
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,679
who emphasized dominating your one eleventh.

304
00:15:27,879 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: A bit of both.

305
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,879
Speaker 4: It was definitely addressed to the whole team and then

306
00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:34,960
again reget rated to the defense from from coach Hill.

307
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,080
But I mean, just watching the tape from that game,

308
00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:41,000
like there's such a clear difference and when everyone's doing

309
00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:43,279
their job and dominating in their in their one on

310
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:46,559
one and you know, we were able to, you know,

311
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,240
just kind of shut down the offense their offense in

312
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:53,759
that game, and you know, the last thirty two minutes

313
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,720
this we outscored them, you know, thirty one to three.

314
00:15:56,559 --> 00:15:58,159
Speaker 3: Compared to the first twenty eight minutes.

315
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,519
Speaker 4: So just leaving too in our scheme and trusting that

316
00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:04,519
everyone around he's gonna do their job and she's just

317
00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:05,600
got to do yours.

318
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:08,639
Speaker 2: Doing your one eleven. That has always been a part

319
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:11,159
of the Kaloni culture. He talks about it all the time.

320
00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:13,639
Doing your job, don't focus on other people's jobs, focus

321
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,720
on your freaking job. And Jake Hill is a part

322
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,159
of that as well. He's going to hear from both

323
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,320
the entire teams to get to hear from both They

324
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,879
are aligned to look, they've come up from the same lineage,

325
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,960
coaching lineage. They were at Utah together for a long time,

326
00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:31,399
and there's a reason why they were able to work

327
00:16:31,399 --> 00:16:35,399
together collaboratively because they are aligned in culture and they

328
00:16:35,399 --> 00:16:40,279
are aligned in methodologies and processes. So are they different

329
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,639
somewhat in personality? Sure they have their I'm sure they

330
00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:45,720
have their strengths and their weaknesses.

331
00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: Like all of us.

332
00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:48,679
Speaker 2: But they were truly as aligned as I think you

333
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,799
can be from a head coach and an assistant head

334
00:16:50,799 --> 00:16:53,799
coaching standpoint. Now, as someone who was a part of

335
00:16:53,799 --> 00:16:58,080
the team last year, you're in a similar spot undefeated

336
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,559
going into November. Any lessons that can be from last

337
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,759
year's run that can be applied this year? Tanner Wall, Yeah,

338
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:08,039
I was thinking about this a lot today actually, so

339
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,000
that we could kind of relay this as leaders to

340
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:13,960
our team. I think last year we might have gotten

341
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:17,119
stuck in it in a little bit of a mindset

342
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,240
of a play not to lose instead of a play.

343
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: To win, because you know, we were nine to zero and.

344
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 4: We're in a position, and I think some guys just

345
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,359
kind of got on their heels a little bit and

346
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,720
we're too much in that mindset of playing not to lose.

347
00:17:28,759 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: So we still got to have a you know, attack.

348
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 4: Mindset where we're out there playing to win, knowing that

349
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,160
no team's gonna just you know, hand that to us.

350
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: So we got to go attack it.

351
00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 4: And in every game we play, we gotta we gotta

352
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:42,279
take it.

353
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:49,599
Speaker 1: So, look, they are in a similar spot.

354
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you look back at I

355
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,440
don't know, you look back at the Utah game, look

356
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,200
back at Kansas, you look back like I don't think

357
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,599
b we was playing great football in that Utah game.

358
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,960
They found a way to win in a gritty manner

359
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,400
like but I don't think it was like a good

360
00:18:10,759 --> 00:18:12,519
I mean, everyone's a good win, but it wasn't like

361
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,960
there was a sense of at the end of that

362
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:21,480
game like man like, that was so emotionally taxing, and

363
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,680
from a pragmatic standpoint, you can't necessarily look at it

364
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,319
and be like, man like, we were the better team

365
00:18:27,559 --> 00:18:30,160
on that day, Yeah we were, but at the same time,

366
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,720
like it there was a sense of like.

367
00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:35,799
Speaker 1: Are we were we really the better team that day?

368
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: Or we did there was a little bit of luck involved, right,

369
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,720
And that's okay. To think that and look, to me,

370
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:42,160
a winner is win is win. You find a way

371
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,279
to win, and it is what it is. But there's

372
00:18:44,319 --> 00:18:47,359
still an internal sentiment that's, like, okay, we we're playing

373
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,640
good football Kansas, the same thing, like we just you know,

374
00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:54,960
it was unlucky, like the the pooch kick, but like

375
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,920
we should have won that game, but we were making

376
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,319
mistakes in the red zone where it matters most of

377
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,400
your decision making matters most ASU. Once again, mistakes occurred.

378
00:19:03,599 --> 00:19:07,240
They had to revamp and retool the offense. In the

379
00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:09,480
second half. They opened it up, they went temple and

380
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,440
started slinging it and Jake Retslock looked really good in

381
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,119
that second half leading up to the final drive. So

382
00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:20,759
the good thing is right now is the ball control

383
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,440
and the complementary football is much better this year than

384
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,839
it was last year. Down the stretch, we are plus

385
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,559
six in turnover margin versus Utah and Iowa State.

386
00:19:32,839 --> 00:19:34,519
Speaker 1: A home game versus your rival.

387
00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: Which is emotionally you're very heavily emotionally, physically, and psychologically

388
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,680
invested in that game. And then you go on the road,

389
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:45,519
a true road test, sixty two thousand fans, and you're

390
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,440
plus four on the road.

391
00:19:47,759 --> 00:19:49,599
Speaker 1: That is insane. That's an insane number.

392
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 2: And you can say, okay, we'll throw out the last

393
00:19:51,319 --> 00:19:54,519
iron t from Roco Beck and say, okay, well that

394
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:58,759
was just a giveaway. So you're plus three still extremely impressive, ridiculous.

395
00:19:59,079 --> 00:20:04,480
So there is similarities here going into November. The difference

396
00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:07,960
to me is we're ticking the ball away at a

397
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,680
same similar rate, but we're not turning the ball over

398
00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:14,440
nearly as much. And that's what led us down the

399
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:19,200
conclusion that BYU you can argue that they upgraded with

400
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:25,640
bear Bachmeyer, Jake retzlaw b yj now jew Lane. Right,

401
00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:29,599
he's at jew Lane. He got bench this last week

402
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,400
due to the same thing he did last decision making.

403
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,559
It didn't givince last year, but yes, for decision making,

404
00:20:36,079 --> 00:20:39,640
got a little bit too aggressive. Thought he was Pat Mahomes.

405
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: He's not.

406
00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: He's good. He's a good football player. He's got really

407
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:48,119
good tools. Obviously, he's a good athlete. He can sling it,

408
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,480
he can run it. Sometimes he thinks he's better than

409
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:54,519
he really is and does dumb things. You're not Brett

410
00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:57,200
fav You're not Pat Mahomes. You can't throw into triple coverage.

411
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,680
And think you can just thread the needle. You can't

412
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,200
do that, you know, sometimes the ball floats on it

413
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:04,440
a little bit. It's a little bit too aggressive. Sometimes

414
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:05,880
he gets a little bit too lacks a day's cool

415
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,160
with his arm angles. Sometimes he's he thinks he's a

416
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,839
short stop, you know, from thinks she's Derek Jeter, he

417
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,200
thinks he's he's Alex Rodriguez.

418
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 5: He thinks you're not to shout out to the Dodgers

419
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:18,599
or just one World series.

420
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,759
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, that's not my era, but it's the

421
00:21:20,759 --> 00:21:23,599
best shortstop in Major League Baseball right now.

422
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,599
Speaker 6: Probably probably have to be, you know, defensively, defensively yeah,

423
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:28,680
oh that's a good question.

424
00:21:28,799 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know who the BET's defensive

425
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,160
short but you're not that guy.

426
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're not that guy.

427
00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: That guy.

428
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,799
Speaker 2: So anyway, ball control, complimentary football is what Brigham is

429
00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:41,039
doing very well right now, which is going to keep

430
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:42,440
you away, you in the game once again versus the

431
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:42,880
text step.

432
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,559
Speaker 1: Now, let's go to number six.

433
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: Klaani mentioned defensive defensive guys are looking healthier than they

434
00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:50,480
have in a while. What does that mean for the group,

435
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:53,160
specifically getting Raider back into the lineup.

436
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that gives us.

437
00:21:56,759 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 4: It gives us a lot of good confidence knowing that

438
00:21:59,839 --> 00:22:03,400
you know, we can you know, rotate maybe a little

439
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,480
bit more than we have in some weeks past, where

440
00:22:05,599 --> 00:22:07,480
you know, we've some of the guys have been having

441
00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:11,319
to play just you know, every snap or more snaps

442
00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:13,720
than they maybe were used to playing. So we've got

443
00:22:13,759 --> 00:22:16,160
a lot of great depth and great personnel on our

444
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,000
on our defense. So being able to utilize all of

445
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,960
those guys and keep us all fresh, I think it's

446
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,440
going to put us in a great spot.

447
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: Fresh, clean and healthy. Let's go with number seven.

448
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:30,759
Speaker 2: You've got a lot of experience playing big games. Now

449
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,480
Collins gag Bay will be their top ten matchup. How

450
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:35,720
do you keep the team focused and not focus on

451
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,880
the distraction stuff like that that is going on around you.

452
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,599
Speaker 4: I just I think it comes down to what coach

453
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,799
Colonney preaches and helps us to remember. It's just continue

454
00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:51,359
to do the small and simple things right. It don't

455
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,519
get distracted by the outside noise, by the national media,

456
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,480
by you know, us being ten and a half point underdogs.

457
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,079
Speaker 3: Like there's so many factors.

458
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:01,599
Speaker 4: That if we give too much attention to, can can

459
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,279
be really distracting and ultimately become detrimental.

460
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,799
Speaker 3: To you know, the way that we prepare or play.

461
00:23:07,279 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 4: So just continuing to focus on us, our preparation, our team,

462
00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:16,880
our teammates, our coaches, and when we are united in

463
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,440
that and and our brotherhood is strong and we go

464
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,640
out there and play the way that we know we're

465
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:26,359
capable of, we should always love the outcome. So yeah,

466
00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:30,480
just staying focused and remembering what things really matter and

467
00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:31,519
what things don't.

468
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:33,759
Speaker 1: All right, there you go.

469
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: That's the the wise words of a team captain that's

470
00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:39,839
been balling for Brigham for a while now, the preferred

471
00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:42,480
walk on that made himself into a scholarship player, the

472
00:23:42,519 --> 00:23:46,480
converted wide receiver to defensive back, multi year starter, free safety.

473
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 6: So you got my I got your answer. I had

474
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,240
to jump back to im. You're talking to the baseball

475
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,680
guy that loves baseball. We don't talk too much of it.

476
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 5: I was trying to.

477
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,799
Speaker 6: Figure the best I just want to go glove too.

478
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,920
He is the best defensive short. Yeah you ain't Bob,

479
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,359
Bobby wit Bro, You ain't Bobby.

480
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: Is that's interesting?

481
00:24:05,279 --> 00:24:07,599
Speaker 5: You wanted you just literally want to go glove for Yeah?

482
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 6: All right, way Bobby wit Jay and then I think

483
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,359
a guy named Taylor, I can't remember the last name

484
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,279
on the uh Tampa Bay Rays.

485
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 5: He won one.

486
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,160

She is one of the best strikers I've seen in

539
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,720
the modern era for BYU women's soccer, and she was

540
00:26:46,319 --> 00:26:49,079
along with her teammates who was a team effort, but man,

541
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,039
she was phenomenal.

542
00:26:50,079 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: We got Ellie Wallbrook on the light. Ellie, how are

543
00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:53,480
you hi there?

544
00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:59,599
Speaker 2: I'm doing awesome. Congratulations on the dub what a great win.

545
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,079
I mean, look, historically BYU I think has done well

546
00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:07,440
against TCU, but in the modern era they struggle a

547
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,400
little bit. We've had some losses in the last three

548
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,200
and I think we're like two and one. What was

549
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,440
the difference this go around? What was the difference in

550
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,920
this particular match.

551
00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, obviously teach you the great team or

552
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,519
very well coached, and they play a possession style that

553
00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:27,640
they always execute it well. So I think just going

554
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,640
into the game, they were a number one seed, they

555
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,880
are at their Big Twelve championships, are at their home field,

556
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,319
so they kind of had a little bit more pressure

557
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,400
on them, and we kind of just came out playing

558
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,000
free and just really had no pressure, which is kind

559
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,039
of not like US. I feel like do IU always

560
00:27:46,079 --> 00:27:48,599
has the pressure on their backs. So just came out

561
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,279
free and we played our game and we got the

562
00:27:50,319 --> 00:27:52,240
result that we wanted. So it was a great game

563
00:27:52,279 --> 00:27:55,119
and just such a fun team win that we deserved.

564
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is an element of like pressure when you're

565
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,319
the top seeded team, you're the favorite, right and BYU's

566
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:08,000
typically been in that in that position historically under Jen Rockwood.

567
00:28:09,319 --> 00:28:13,599
That dynamic is unique from you know, for the last

568
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,279
few years. I guess being a bit of an underdog.

569
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,559
Was this kind of this free flow and no pressure feel,

570
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,960
or is this pervasive within the roster heading into this matchup.

571
00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 6: I don't know.

572
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,319
Speaker 7: I mean I think we're always people always give us

573
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,680
their best game. I mean, we're a prestigious BYU. Everyone

574
00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:35,640
loves to beat us and play their best game against us.

575
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,960
So I think just coming in obviously we had something

576
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,839
to prove. We didn't really play the way we wanted

577
00:28:40,839 --> 00:28:44,319
to in the Big Twelve. Greg credit to the Big Twelve.

578
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,720
There's so many good teams. I mean a lot of

579
00:28:46,759 --> 00:28:50,160
them are top twenty in RPI. So just a great,

580
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,279
great league to be in at the point in women's

581
00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:55,440
soccer right now. So yeah, just having that kind of

582
00:28:55,759 --> 00:28:57,200
I mean, I feel like we still have pressure on

583
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,240
our back, but just playing with no pressure because as

584
00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:02,039
we were an eight seed and no one really thought

585
00:29:02,039 --> 00:29:05,079
we could do the Big upset was a relief.

586
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: B YU junior goal keeper Chelsea Peterson made eight shaves

587
00:29:09,759 --> 00:29:13,119
and stood tall and penalty kicks in what was her

588
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,759
first start as a Cougar, stepping in after Peyton Collins

589
00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:20,480
was injured in the regular season finale, Could you speak

590
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:22,599
to how well Chelsea performed?

591
00:29:23,519 --> 00:29:26,319
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, Yes, I love Chelsea. I mean her

592
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,079
story is so unique, coming from a mission, home from

593
00:29:29,079 --> 00:29:31,279
a mission, not really wanting to play soccer anymore, and

594
00:29:31,319 --> 00:29:35,319
then coming to BYU and obviously an opportunity arose and

595
00:29:35,519 --> 00:29:38,359
she actually just ran with it. She's so confident. She's

596
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,119
just a very confident leader, and just having her step

597
00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:44,200
into that role obviously a big loss. With Peyton, we

598
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,240
love her and I think she's had an amazing season,

599
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,759
so it sucks to be where she's at. But I

600
00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:51,960
know she's gonna come back even stronger from her injury.

601
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:54,400
But yeah, so credit to Chelsea. She was a great

602
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,319
presence in that and just really proud of her and

603
00:29:57,599 --> 00:30:01,359
she deserves this moment more than any when I know, Yeah,

604
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,400
I'm excited.

605
00:30:02,039 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: To see what she can do. It's a tournament time,

606
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,200
and Chelsea's got a step up big. She does have

607
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,240
a lot of experience, right, I mean, she's played high

608
00:30:09,359 --> 00:30:12,640
level soccer before, in high level games. I think that

609
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,799
boats well and she probably had a little bit of

610
00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:17,839
an acclamation period throughout the regular season being the.

611
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: Backup to Peyton. Yeah.

612
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 7: One hundred percent. I mean she's had experience. She was

613
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,279
a starter at Utah before her mission, so she grew

614
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,039
up playing high level soccer. So yeah, she's got all

615
00:30:29,079 --> 00:30:31,640
the experience. And I mean she stepped up with so

616
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,359
much confidence in our last two games, I mean, going

617
00:30:34,359 --> 00:30:37,279
in against Utah and then obviously playing in our KEYCU

618
00:30:37,319 --> 00:30:40,160
matchup last night, just so much confidence. And the way

619
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,160
she played is just gonna keep building her. So super

620
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,519
proud of her and just really excited for the rest

621
00:30:45,559 --> 00:30:46,160
of her career.

622
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,079
Speaker 2: Ronald, you got some questions for Ellie Wahlbrook. What do

623
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:51,680
you got for me?

624
00:30:51,799 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 6: I always got questions for Rashi. I didn't give her

625
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,359
that nickname. Someone else did, but no, Ellie, walk us

626
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,000
through your first goal and then your second goal, man,

627
00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:02,079
And I thought the first one was a banger, but

628
00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:03,759
the second one was better than the first.

629
00:31:04,839 --> 00:31:08,079
Speaker 7: Ah, thanks Roy, I appreciate that. Yeah, I mean the

630
00:31:08,119 --> 00:31:10,880
first goal, I mean I was in the right spot,

631
00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:14,519
kind of got the ball in the middle giveaway from

632
00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:17,440
TCUs outside back, kind of took a touch, saw the

633
00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:20,079
keeper was kind of not off her line, but she

634
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,720
was cheating a little bit to the right and just

635
00:31:21,799 --> 00:31:24,039
ripped it like I usually do, and yeah, it was

636
00:31:24,079 --> 00:31:26,000
a great shot. I mean I've practiced that so many

637
00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:29,000
times with my dad in the backyard, so practice makes

638
00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:31,720
perfect and I'm just glad I was in that spot

639
00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:33,880
to shoot it at the time. And then obviously my

640
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,400
second goal, I mean I was probably one of the

641
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,039
best goals I've ever scored. But yeah, just to put

642
00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:43,359
a little bend on it. Free kick action, just yeah,

643
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,119
I loved it. It was so much fun. And just

644
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,960
credit to my teammates. I mean, I couldn't do it

645
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,680
without my teammates and the support and belief they have

646
00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:52,160
in me. So I love it and I'm just excited

647
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,039
for our game tomorrow.

648
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 2: You scored a brace in your twelfth and thirteen goals

649
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,319
for the season. Both goals were obviously on assisted and

650
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,920
this is I leave your second brace on the year

651
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,119
and eighth and ninth goals against Big twelve opponents. You

652
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,279
mentioned that that one of those goals was your best

653
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,680
shot ever. That's saying something you scored a lot of

654
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,440
goals in your career.

655
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,079
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I feel like a free kick goal,

656
00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:23,240
especially from that angle with that crawling hat on it.

657
00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:26,200
I mean, you practice them and you hit them in practice,

658
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,559
but those are the ones in the games where you

659
00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:30,400
never can perfect. So just to get that goal, I

660
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,319
mean I practiced them, Like I said, I practiced so

661
00:32:32,359 --> 00:32:34,519
many times with my dad working on free kicks. So

662
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,480
just to have that go in at the time when

663
00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:39,400
we needed it most, to go up to one was

664
00:32:39,839 --> 00:32:41,400
so huge. And yeah, it was.

665
00:32:41,599 --> 00:32:41,839
Speaker 1: It was.

666
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,359
Speaker 7: It was a pretty good one. And I have had

667
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,279
to watch it back because I feel like it's still

668
00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:49,559
not real that I scored that, But yeah, it was

669
00:32:49,559 --> 00:32:50,119
pretty cool.

670
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: Did you catch up with the TCU goalkeeper after the

671
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,720
after the game, after the match and and converse with

672
00:32:56,759 --> 00:32:58,680
her at all. I'm sure she was probably like, oh

673
00:32:58,759 --> 00:33:01,279
my gosh, that's like, these are both perfect. I can't

674
00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:04,240
do anything those were. Those were immaculate shots.

675
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know. I mean they were pretty upset

676
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,599
after the pks. I mean, pks are a pretty tough

677
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,440
way to go out, but they had They've had a

678
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,319
great season. They've played some great teams, so they're gonna

679
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:18,119
have a good run in the NCAA tournament. So yeah,

680
00:33:18,279 --> 00:33:20,160
I mean they're a great competitor, but we got the

681
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,200
better of them last night.

682
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 2: What was the conversation from the coaching staff to the

683
00:33:24,519 --> 00:33:27,279
players and even from the players to players leading up

684
00:33:27,319 --> 00:33:28,160
to those PKS.

685
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, to be honest, we were very very confident.

686
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,240
I think we had so much belief in each other

687
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,000
and it was kind of it's kind of funny, a

688
00:33:38,039 --> 00:33:40,720
funny story, like we're lining up for PKS and me

689
00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:44,279
and Lucy Kessler on the PK shootout liner who thank

690
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,839
sixty seven to kind of boot them bootht energy a

691
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,519
little bit kind of laughing in line. So we were

692
00:33:49,559 --> 00:33:52,519
we were very positive and we knew, we knew, we

693
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,640
practiced these We knew if our minds speak louder than

694
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,400
our actions, and that's what it's going to do. So

695
00:33:57,839 --> 00:34:01,279
all four of our penalty cake takers. So yeah, we

696
00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:03,880
were just super confident and proud of the group, proud

697
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,440
of the confidence we had in the belief in one another.

698
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,679
Because it takes it takes all thirty of the girls,

699
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,760
not just the four or five who take them.

700
00:34:14,039 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 6: All Big twelve first Team earlier this afternoon. What does

701
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,239
that accomplished mean for you, especially coming off the ACL injury.

702
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:24,599
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I mean it means so much to me.

703
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,039
I think I've had to put in lots of hard

704
00:34:27,039 --> 00:34:30,880
work and perseverance, especially through coming back to my ACL injury,

705
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,559
not knowing if I'm going to be the same type

706
00:34:32,559 --> 00:34:35,519
of player I was before. I mean, that's always a

707
00:34:35,519 --> 00:34:37,559
big question in your head when you get injured. So

708
00:34:38,119 --> 00:34:42,559
just having that hard work payoff and not to just

709
00:34:42,599 --> 00:34:44,480
be the same as I was before, but I think

710
00:34:44,519 --> 00:34:47,320
even better was just huge and just for people to

711
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,239
acknowledge that it means the world. But like I said,

712
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,360
like I couldn't do it without my teammates. I mean

713
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:54,800
they put me in great positions to score goals, so

714
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:57,440
credit to them, and just excited to keep going with

715
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,320
this team and the postseason play.

716
00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 2: You're the eighth seeded team now advancing through the semi finals.

717
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:08,239
You face a fifth seeded Baylor that also picked up

718
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,360
an upset victory in the first round in PKS.

719
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: They had a dramatic finish as well.

720
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 2: The match is going to take place at three thirty

721
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,400
pm Mountain tom on Wednesday. Yeah, we can view it

722
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,719
on ESPN Plus for everybody that's tuning in.

723
00:35:22,159 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: Have you been able to.

724
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,119
Speaker 2: Scout Baylor yet, give us a little breakdown of what

725
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:27,039
we know about Baylor.

726
00:35:28,199 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we.

727
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 7: Actually were able to play Baylor in their regular season,

728
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,639
we were up twice on them and they ended up

729
00:35:35,639 --> 00:35:38,280
coming back and beating us four to two at their

730
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,079
home field in Waco. So yeah, we're very familiar with

731
00:35:41,119 --> 00:35:43,400
down They're a great team. I think they have some

732
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,039
special players in the attack that we got to kind

733
00:35:46,039 --> 00:35:48,199
of watch. But I mean we've played them, we know

734
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,599
how to score on them. It's just kind of switching

735
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:53,480
our mentality to put our defensive energy in, which we've

736
00:35:53,519 --> 00:35:55,760
had the last two games. So we're going to kind

737
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,519
of switch flip that switch, and Yeah, we're just excited

738
00:35:58,519 --> 00:36:00,400
for kind of a revenge match them.

739
00:36:01,079 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a big one, no doubt about it.

740
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: What's your mindset like going into tournament play right now?

741
00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:11,920
You're getting into the thick of it now, do you

742
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:16,360
feel like you guys are playing your best soccer right now? Yeah?

743
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 7: I think one hundred percent.

744
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:18,119
Speaker 1: I do.

745
00:36:18,159 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 7: I think we've bet we're peaking at the right time.

746
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,519
I think a big thing for us is just kind

747
00:36:23,519 --> 00:36:26,360
of owning our process, what we're good at, what works

748
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,360
for us has been a huge thing this whole season.

749
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,119
I think these last couple of matches have we've kind

750
00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:33,679
of put that all together. So we're really excited to

751
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,239
play Baylor tomorrow and continue this run in the Big

752
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,519

to get into some will fare and commentary? Now, what's

812
00:39:24,639 --> 00:39:27,360
going to be the difference in this BYU Texas Tech game.

813
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,320
I've said it once, I've said it twice. I'm gonna

814
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,800
say it thrice. It's going to be the special teams.

815
00:39:32,519 --> 00:39:34,639
There's a reason why by US SID tried it out

816
00:39:34,679 --> 00:39:37,400
Will Farren. Where there's a will, there's a way. As

817
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:42,840
Gregorbell once said in twenty twenty four, is BYU won

818
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:47,840
the Holy Award at Rice Ecle Stadium, and then chaos

819
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,079
ensued at the pulpit, Chaos ensued on the grid airn

820
00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:59,360
after that. But sp plus has BYU ranked for their

821
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,960
special team unit six in the country, six in the country,

822
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,679
Texas tex ranking right now from an efficiency standpoint, Special

823
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:11,599
Teams s ESPNSB plus eightieth in the country. Okay, kick cover,

824
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:17,639
punt cover, kick return, punt return, Okay, place kicking. This

825
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,960
is the way BYU stays in games, being a complementary,

826
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,920
holistic football team. Will Farren's been a big part of

827
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,360

quotes today at Big O Tires in American Fork. All right,

845
00:41:19,599 --> 00:41:23,039
let's get into some sound from Will Farren. Will how

846
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,039
valuable is it to have a good holder after a

847
00:41:27,159 --> 00:41:27,760
bad snap?

848
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's huge. I've said for a long time. It

849
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,199
takes a lot more than one person to kick a

850
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,480
field goal, and just the whole cohesion between snapper, holder

851
00:41:38,559 --> 00:41:42,960
and kicker is a big deal. If a snap isn't

852
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,960
perfect or whatever, there's always Sam there to make it right.

853
00:41:46,119 --> 00:41:48,000
And then if Sam's struggling with a hold, then I

854
00:41:48,039 --> 00:41:51,039
can always make him right, and that's something that we've

855
00:41:51,119 --> 00:41:55,320
built over the last however many months that we've been together.

856
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,000
It's the whole point of our off season is just

857
00:41:57,039 --> 00:41:59,840
to build up that cohesion to be able to to

858
00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:01,079
go and execute in the game.

859
00:42:03,519 --> 00:42:07,639
Speaker 1: We've seen guys time and time again this season a.

860
00:42:09,119 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 2: Average to below average or even a bad snap be

861
00:42:13,599 --> 00:42:18,079
fielded by Sam Vanderharr placed properly and Will fair and

862
00:42:18,159 --> 00:42:19,480
kick it through the upright. So there's been a few

863
00:42:19,519 --> 00:42:22,199
times when Will is missed and I would actually attribute

864
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:22,800
that to the.

865
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: Bad snap rather than the hole.

866
00:42:24,599 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 2: It was very difficult when Sam's having to lift up out,

867
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,639
you get a little outreach going be off balance, then

868
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,079
come back down level set, get the HOMEO stations, get

869
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:41,039
get the ball explicitly where Will Fare needs it. You know,

870
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,239
I give a lot of credit to Sam Vanderhart for

871
00:42:44,199 --> 00:42:48,400
doing a great job and Will he's benefiting from from

872
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,000
Sam just being dialed.

873
00:42:50,039 --> 00:42:50,119
Speaker 1: Now.

874
00:42:50,199 --> 00:42:53,679
Speaker 2: Garrison is a good long snapper and he's proven that

875
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,840
at Baylor and at BAYU, but he's been a little

876
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,639
bit often times. So shout out to Sam vander Harp

877
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:05,000
for validated. I think, I think I believe Garrison just

878
00:43:05,079 --> 00:43:06,599
needed to take a little bit of the heat off.

879
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,199
That dude is strong, he is muscle bound. That dude

880
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,360
puts on a lot of weight on that bar bell. Okay,

881
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,159
he can push weight. He can run too. Sometimes you

882
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,440
need to take a little bit off. Okay, you don't

883
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,480
need as much velocity as you think you need. Number two,

884
00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:29,079
Will will Coach told us, Uh, the staff does really

885
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,719
pay attention or does not really pay attention to CFP rankings.

886
00:43:33,159 --> 00:43:36,519
Speaker 1: Are the players going to be tuned into the CFP rankings?

887
00:43:37,679 --> 00:43:39,519
Speaker 8: There's a lot of noise at this.

888
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna try to get that redoaled in

889
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:57,880
college football rankings?

890
00:43:58,039 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: Where will by you? And right?

891
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,559
Speaker 2: Where will we stand in the first rankings? The first

892
00:44:04,599 --> 00:44:06,960
colls football playoff rankings are only days away.

893
00:44:14,679 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna try to get that dial then. Having

894
00:44:16,519 --> 00:44:19,159
some technical difficulties, we apologize for that.

895
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:26,760
Speaker 2: The first of six CFP Top twenty five rankings happens

896
00:44:27,559 --> 00:44:32,280
tonight ahead of that announcement. Right, we're kind of delving

897
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,760
into We delved into yesterday, we're delving into today. Most

898
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,199
are putting BYU at seven or eight. I don't know

899
00:44:39,199 --> 00:44:43,280
if anyone has seen anything higher than seven or eight

900
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,039
many times the ape pole. For as bad as they

901
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,119
may be early onto the season, they finally get it

902
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,920
right by week seven, Week eight, Right, week six, Week seven,

903
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,199
week eight. They have enough data points, they've watched enough football.

904
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,159
They're going to probably match. It's gonna be similar to

905
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:07,800
the CFP. Is there a possibility that BYU is higher

906
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:08,519
than seven or eight?

907
00:45:08,639 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, but.

908
00:45:11,519 --> 00:45:13,199
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think they're probably gonna be

909
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,000
right there, seven or right. Big twelve still has a

910
00:45:16,039 --> 00:45:26,199
branding issue the TV conglomerates, Fox, ESPN, and the rest

911
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,159
of the college football world, the power brokers of college football.

912
00:45:30,559 --> 00:45:35,400
There's still a little enmity between them and Big twelve

913
00:45:35,559 --> 00:45:39,159
in my opinion, So let's get into it. Will the

914
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,639
staff doesn't watch, but do the players watch.

915
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,159
Speaker 8: There's a lot of noise at this stage, at this

916
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,599
level of football. There's always gonna be a lot of noise.

917
00:45:49,159 --> 00:45:52,320
I thinks as a team, our team especially, we're really

918
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,519
good at staying in the moment, focusing on what we

919
00:45:54,599 --> 00:45:57,800
need to focus on. I think in my position, we

920
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,079
take it even more to the extreme where it's we

921
00:46:00,159 --> 00:46:01,360
have one job and we just got to go and

922
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:02,119
execute our job.

923
00:46:02,199 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: But as a whole.

924
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,679
Speaker 8: I think the team is very good at staying in

925
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,599
the present, blocking out the outside noise and just focusing

926
00:46:09,679 --> 00:46:12,159
on what's going on here in the building and taking

927
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,159
that week by week and day by day.

928
00:46:15,639 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 2: Look, look, in my opinion, you want to sequester your

929
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,400
football team to the point where they just they don't

930
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,440
even want any part of like the national media or

931
00:46:27,519 --> 00:46:28,159
local scene.

932
00:46:29,079 --> 00:46:29,760
Speaker 1: You don't want them.

933
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 2: You want them focused on the daily task, focus in

934
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,719
what they can do to make themselves the best players

935
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:40,760
that they can be nutritionally, you know, physically from a

936
00:46:41,639 --> 00:46:45,079
just like the healthcare standpoint, doing all of your modalities,

937
00:46:45,079 --> 00:46:48,360
getting the blood flow, getting the hydration, getting the nutrients,

938
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:52,239
the sustenance, the supplementation that you need, getting the reps

939
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:56,840
in individually and collectively to maximize your execution on game day.

940
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:01,440
So question yourself. That should be the hashtag of the year.

941
00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:03,440
Quite honestly, for BUA football. They do a good job

942
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,400
staying in the moment, making the main thing the main thing,

943
00:47:06,519 --> 00:47:07,760
keeping the main thing the main thing.

944
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,199
Speaker 1: Now, will you made a fifty yard field goal? What

945
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,119
does that mean to you? To come to the end

946
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,519
of your career here at at BYU.

947
00:47:17,559 --> 00:47:20,559
Speaker 8: It's so cool. I love to just kind of step

948
00:47:20,599 --> 00:47:24,039
back and have the perspective of growing up in Utah

949
00:47:24,159 --> 00:47:28,119
County and then later moving up to Kysville and watching

950
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:29,760
BYU football my whole life.

951
00:47:30,639 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 3: It's cool.

952
00:47:31,039 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 8: It's cool to be able to be here and to

953
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:33,880
have my foot.

954
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,280
Speaker 2: Okay, we're having some issues with the sam apologize our apologies.

955
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: Look, I can't believe you know that Will's career is

956
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,679
coming to an edit. He seems like he just got here.

957
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,519
Speaker 2: Remember he was a transfer, had played at at multiple

958
00:47:54,559 --> 00:47:58,480
schools prior was at Bois you stayed and most recently

959
00:47:58,559 --> 00:48:01,599
came down with K Pop. Thanks to k Pod for

960
00:48:01,639 --> 00:48:05,239
bringing up because Will's been fantastic and he's a part

961
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:06,719
of why are Special Teams Unit.

962
00:48:07,079 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: He has been so good over the last three years.

963
00:48:10,079 --> 00:48:11,239
Let's get back to Will Ferren.

964
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 8: It's so cool. I love to just kind of step

965
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,360
back and have the perspective of growing up in Utah

966
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,440
County and then later moving up to Kysville and watching

967
00:48:23,519 --> 00:48:26,760
BYU football my whole life. It's cool. It's cool to

968
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,199
be able to be here and to have my footprint

969
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,079
on on things that are going on. So yeah, I

970
00:48:33,119 --> 00:48:35,599
don't know. I think coming here in king Field goals

971
00:48:35,639 --> 00:48:37,239
is something I wanted to do for a long time,

972
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,760
and getting the opportunity to do it is a major

973
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,519
blessing and something that I don't take for granted.

974
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,559
Speaker 2: Final thing from Will Farren, You've been a part of

975
00:48:46,599 --> 00:48:48,119
a historic ronnier at b YU.

976
00:48:48,679 --> 00:48:50,159
Speaker 1: What do you make of it all?

977
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 8: Yeah? You hear us talk a lot about culture, love

978
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,840
and learn all the things that Kalani teaches. I think

979
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,280
that's something that we take very seriously in our building,

980
00:49:05,039 --> 00:49:09,559
being humble and hungry, never too prideful to put in

981
00:49:09,599 --> 00:49:12,639
the work, but always wanting to get better and improve

982
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,920
and see the gains that we can see in our

983
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,440
own positions, in our own lives. And that's something that's

984
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:23,679
so ingrained into our our team right now, where upperclassmen

985
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,159
to underclassmen, whoever it is correcting each other, making sure

986
00:49:27,199 --> 00:49:29,360
that we're we're taking the strikes that we need to

987
00:49:29,599 --> 00:49:31,360
to be able to go and execute on game day.

988
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: There you go, that's there's Will fare and leading the way.
