I see Colorado to comeback. I saw Western. Yeah, 162 00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:10,680 I said, okay, they had something in this locker room 163 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,279 that we didn't know.

I don't know how by the end 166 00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:22,439 of the season, Dave, he's not the Big twelve freshman 167 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,360 of the year and the National freshman of the year, 168 00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:27,800 Like who else could be playing better than bear Bachmeer. 169 00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 5: Right now, he's on track for all of that. And 170 00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:34,839 the more you win, the better your chances. I know 171 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,079 RG three has him in. 172 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: His top five Heisman group, and. 173 00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:42,319 Speaker 5: The only way he got there is by being eight no, 174 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,560 and so it really you just control your destiny for 175 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,279 all of the postseason awards and and your future by winning. 176 00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:56,319 And to his credit, he's gotten better and better to 177 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,759 go to beat Iowa State without l J.

He's redefining it each time 183 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,639 he steps on the field because in a lot of 184 00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:25,720 his decisions, it's what seniors do. 185 00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:28,199 Speaker 2: To go and play Utah, not turn it over. 186 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,079 Speaker 5: That's what seniors do to go to Iowa State and 187 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,320 not turn it over. And here's a kid who's nineteen 188 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,360 and playing the guitar on the weekends. It's a phenomenal story. 189 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 3: It's definitely a phenomenal story. Looking at bear Bachmeyern what 190 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:46,480 a Rod has done. Let's talk about Aaron Roderick. He's 191 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,480 not getting There's a lot of haters out there. There's 192 00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:50,799 some people that have commented on my page of Ben's 193 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,039 pace say I've repented. 194 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 4: I said, good, you need to. 195 00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:57,519 Speaker 3: But one of the most unthinkable jobs in college football 196 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,600 is the offensive coordinator, especially the offensive coordinator at BYU. 197 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,000 We had Guy Holliday on the showing. Guy was mentioning 198 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,720 all the greats of by and I said, oh yeah, 199 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,360 I forgot about all those guys. And you look at 200 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,159 the history of play callers at BYU. Aaron Roderck, I 201 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,919 believe is up there because no one thought that a 202 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,960 Rod would have this kid, not only a no playing 203 00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:19,960 the way he's playing bear looks like you just mentioned it. 204 00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:22,159 He looks like a senior to do what he did 205 00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:24,639 against Utah and go on Iowa State like Iowa stated 206 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,480 to lose a home game in twenty one consecutive excuse me, 207 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,159 then I lose a home game, has lost one home 208 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,159 game I think in the last two years, and then 209 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,039 twenty one consecutive games. Are not allowing three hundred yards 210 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,200 and number forty seven goals in there and makes it 211 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,200 look easy without LJ. 212 00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:43,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, Aaron's put him in positions to execute plays. And 213 00:09:44,639 --> 00:09:49,120 then as he's matured and grown, the playbooks expanded, and 214 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,279 you know that very rarely is there a play called 215 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,399 where you're like, yeah, that shouldn't have been called. 216 00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:57,919 Speaker 2: There's some because you know, none of us are perfect. 217 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 5: But but Aaron's been really good about bringing him along 218 00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:04,080 and it's helped to have the Big twelves leading rusher, 219 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,720 and it helps to have one of the Big twelve's 220 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,879 top defenses and the best kicker in the country or 221 00:10:08,919 --> 00:10:12,559 one of them, so that all those elements help a 222 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,399 freshman quarterback not have to go out. 223 00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:15,519 Speaker 2: There and win it by himself. 224 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 5: And I think that's allowed Aaron to call games like 225 00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:23,840 that it's not third and every time. 226 00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:26,799 Speaker 2: Sometimes it is, but not every time. You know, if 227 00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:29,279 it's third and four, you can all of a sudden 228 00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:30,919 you got four or five plays in the mix. 229 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 5: And by He's just been really good at marching down 230 00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:38,840 the field. And Aaron's in a fantastic job. And you know, 231 00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:44,559 we love opinions. All of our stuff begets opinions. This show, 232 00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:47,840 our shows, articles and all that stuff. But a lot 233 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,639 of people's opinions just flat out don't matter. And those 234 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,639 who aren't happy with Aaron this year, you know, it's like, 235 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,279 what are you. 236 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,519 Speaker 2: Going to be happy with? Right? 237 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 5: If you're not happy undefeated with the freshman quarterback who's 238 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,919 tearing it up, you're never going to be happy. And Okay, 239 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,720 but a lot of folks when they see what BYU's 240 00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:11,919 done and what they're doing it with, the national media 241 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,679 is starting to catch up. It's really a phenomenal season 242 00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:20,399 to be Bowl eligible after six games with a quarterback 243 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,840 no one had ever heard of before six months ago. 244 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 2: It's just it's just something that's never happened here ever. 245 00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:33,279 Speaker 5: And so maybe the newness is hard for people to stomach, 246 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,039 but I hope they stomach it, digest it and enjoy 247 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,559 every second of it and appreciate what Rodrick's done and 248 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,159 what Jay Hill's done, and what Papinga's done. 249 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,039 Speaker 2: And all those three key phases of the game. 250 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 5: They all contribute to BYU being undefeated, and Roderick is 251 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,759 certainly right there among the most important figures in helping 252 00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:53,559 to make that happen. 253 00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, you bring up Kelly Papinga. 254 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 3: I think he might be the you know, they give 255 00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:01,519 those comeback player of the Year awards and one of 256 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,039 those question mark ones in sports where like I didn't 257 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,960 think of this guy, Kelly Popinga needs some type of 258 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,240 award because to tell guys, hey, finish your blocks and 259 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,240 block this guy into the ball, because we see that 260 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,279 on film. Also, the same guy that says, hey, I'm 261 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:17,600 gonna show you all clips in West Virginia our quarterback 262 00:12:17,639 --> 00:12:19,720 through for three fifty one, but none of y'all got hyped. 263 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,519 We need to get hype going to Arizona. He just 264 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,159 sees things differently. And k Pop is you know, we 265 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,559 obviously had his brother on the you know, on the show, 266 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,639 and he's biased, he said, but I don't think it's 267 00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:32,960 a bias take. Kelly Pepina has to be the best 268 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,879 special teams coordinator in the country right now. 269 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 5: He's good and to the credit of everyone on that staff, 270 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,000 this might be the best staff ever assembled by BYU. 271 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 2: Back in the day and the glory. 272 00:12:44,919 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 5: Years, they had, you know, big names doing big things. 273 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 2: But you look at every position group on this on 274 00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:53,240 this football team. 275 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 5: And then look to their head coach and think to yourself, well, 276 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,639 who would you rather have other than this guy? And 277 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:01,000 I don't think you'd be able to. 278 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: Come up with anybody this group is. 279 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 5: They're just really talented, they're really invested, and they're into winning. 280 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,399 And the program being nineteen and two in the last 281 00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:14,840 twenty one games is a P four He kidding me. 282 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,320 Go to the last bowl game they go to, they beat, 283 00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:20,159 they blow out a ranked opponent in front of the 284 00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:23,720 biggest audience that's ever watched BYU and they get the biggest. 285 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,639 Speaker 2: Payday they've ever had, and. 286 00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:28,519 Speaker 5: They follow that up with an eight to oh and 287 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:30,840 marching towards you know, even greater things. 288 00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:34,159 Speaker 2: Credit to the staff. The players have to go execute it, 289 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,440 but you know. 290 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 5: They're getting trained at properly, and even in this by 291 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,480 week and in the next week they'll be fully prepared 292 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,360 for Texas Tech. I don't know if they're going to 293 00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:46,480 beat Texas Tech, but they're going to go in prepared 294 00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:50,759 because that's what this staff does and it's reflected in 295 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:51,759 the record. 296 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 3: They've had some pretty big wins in their time as 297 00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:57,840 the staff of State together Day. But what would a 298 00:13:57,879 --> 00:14:00,600 winner a Texas Tech mean? The nash of media saying 299 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,200 that's still the best team in the Big twelve and 300 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,039 they've dropped a game the Arizona State, obviously, but we 301 00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:06,919 don't know if college game Day is going to come. Obviously, 302 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,360 Texas Tech has to take care of business tomorrow against 303 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,399 Kansas State. But if they do and BYU where to 304 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,360 go next week and take care of business in Lubbock, 305 00:14:14,759 --> 00:14:16,720 what would that win mean over the Red Raiders. 306 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 5: You know, it would just mean that the next game 307 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,879 is the biggest game ever, Right here's the biggest one, 308 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,279 and if they beat Texas Tech, then it's like BYU 309 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,120 always has to go out and prove themselves. That's what 310 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,480 Chase Roberts said. Every game is a statement game. And 311 00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:38,120 you know what, that's okay because Kilane takes that and 312 00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:41,840 turns it into a motivator to his team, and so 313 00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:44,679 I think he's okay with that, But if you beat 314 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,480 Texas Tech, I don't know how Texas Tech's going to 315 00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:49,240 do at Kansas State. They could very well lose that 316 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,840 game because Kansas State seem to have found themselves in 317 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:52,840 the last couple of weeks. 318 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,879 Speaker 2: And I know it's back, but he's been. 319 00:14:55,759 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 5: Out and so tomorrow's game is going to be really 320 00:14:59,120 --> 00:14:59,840 really interesting. 321 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: Uh and and and. 322 00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 5: The indicator of what kind of team b Y He's 323 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,039 gonna get next week. 324 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: But you know, by even when they if they win the. 325 00:15:08,919 --> 00:15:12,159 Speaker 5: Big Twelve, when they're undefeated, they're still gonna, uh, you know, 326 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,879 be debated on the college Football playoff because that's what 327 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,960 the that's what the media does. And so Kline has 328 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,919 been really good about just just winning winning the week, 329 00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:26,360 and uh, I think I win over Texas Tech, it 330 00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:29,320 makes them nine to zer might push him to eight. 331 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,960 You know, all these teams in front of them are 332 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,759 gonna start playing each other now, and so b Y's 333 00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:36,799 in a really good spot. And and you know one 334 00:15:36,799 --> 00:15:38,759 thing the Texas Tech game could do if they win 335 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,440 that is it could push them up high enough that 336 00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:45,200 if they were to lose at Cincinnati and still go 337 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,120 to the Big. 338 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 2: Twelve, championship game. 339 00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:50,559 Speaker 5: They could still get in uh as A as an 340 00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:52,600 at large whi's got to be ranked kind of Penn 341 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,960 stated last year it's possible, but. 342 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: It's no question. It's the biggest game of the year 343 00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:01,240 uh for b YU and you can start piling on. 344 00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:06,679 Speaker 5: Isn't the biggest game in ten years, twenty years because 345 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,639 of what it's where it can get them. And then 346 00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:14,320 all of a sudden, TCU comes to town. Now that's 347 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,200 the biggest game of the year and the biggest home game. 348 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,519 Speaker 2: You can't miss it because they bet TCU. 349 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,879 Speaker 5: Now all of a sudden, they're ten and zer and 350 00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:25,200 so we're in this fun cycle that most teams are 351 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,399 not in, and. 352 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: It's one to be enjoyed and appreciated. 353 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 5: And I think we'll all watch the Kansas State game 354 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,360 tomorrow with great interest. But I like Jay Hills defense 355 00:16:35,399 --> 00:16:38,200 with two weeks of preparation. No matter who they're playing, 356 00:16:38,559 --> 00:16:41,080 it just so happens to be at Texas Tech. 357 00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, you get that Texas Tech game. I made this 358 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,919 declaration last week and it's starting to come into fruition. 359 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 4: We'll see what the Cougar is able to do, and 360 00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:48,960 if they were to. 361 00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:50,679 Speaker 3: Prove me right or wrong. That's kind of how it goes. 362 00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:52,440 I said, you get two out of three.

I go, 397 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,200 what was it about b YU that gotcha? And he said, 398 00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:31,720 you know, I went on my recruiting trip. 399 00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:36,279 Speaker 1: To Utah and UCLA and and and on my recruiting 400 00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:37,319 trip to b Yunigos. 401 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 5: It was just it felt different. There was something different 402 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,799 about it. The love that everyone had for each other 403 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,400 and the coaches with the players in your personal life 404 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,880 not just football, and and in the locker room and 405 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,240 and you know, here's this eighteen year old sensing this. 406 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: UH, and now he's now he's part of it and 407 00:18:54,279 --> 00:18:57,519 in it. But that's what it wasn't Hey. 408 00:18:57,519 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 2: We're got to be on national TV and we got 409 00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:02,680 to play big games and I might be able to 410 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,440 go to the NFL. 411 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,039 Speaker 5: It was he chose BYU because it felt different from 412 00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:08,920 the other places. 413 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 2: And I think that probably echoes. 414 00:19:14,279 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: Of what any of us would say about how BYU 415 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:19,559 is different from other places. 416 00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 2: For me, I grew up at BYU with my dad 417 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:24,640 as the. 418 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,319 Speaker 5: Executive director of the Cougar Club, So b YU was 419 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,079 just an extension of our house and getting to know 420 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,480 the athletes and all those things. Gifford Nielsen had a 421 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,519 great impact on me. I went to a fireside I 422 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:39,200 think I was eight or nine, and he was the 423 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,279 speaker because he was a football player. 424 00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:45,519 Speaker 2: And so it's just been part of my life. 425 00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 5: Even I was in Vegas, I was coming back here 426 00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:50,559 quite a bit working for BYU TV, which I think 427 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,319 is one of the great modern day miracles of the church. 428 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,400 And so the mission of BYU is interesting. It's to 429 00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:03,240 educate and graduate leaders to go throughout the world and UH, 430 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,079 and for the most part they're leaders of the church, 431 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,799 Underscorn president's, bishops, release society, presidents, mission leaders, you name it. 432 00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 2: Uh. B YU is a training ground, and Soo's b 433 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,480 y U Idaho and. 434 00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 5: And by Hawaii and b y U Pathway and Ensign 435 00:20:19,559 --> 00:20:23,240 College and uh and their institutes at all the other 436 00:20:23,279 --> 00:20:26,000 schools around the country. But but at b YU you 437 00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:29,400 get it all all in one place. And UH, some 438 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,480 people don't like the rules, and sometimes it's it's you know, 439 00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:35,440 little this and little that, but that's life. So what 440 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,359 Uh the the spirits that they that's there, and the 441 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:46,160 the church that it represents, and uh, the principles of 442 00:20:46,599 --> 00:20:50,880 living a happy life that are that are taught there 443 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,880 are are just so impactful that it affects our life 444 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:56,720 for all. 445 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 2: Of our life. 446 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,319 Speaker 5: And it doesn't make us perfect, and some of us 447 00:20:59,319 --> 00:21:03,200 have to repent lot and all those things. But the 448 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,519 BYU experience and you can talk to anybody. You know, 449 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,279 so many athletes we spend time with and whether they're 450 00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:13,799 active in the church, you're active in another faith. The 451 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,559 point is that BYU was the best time in their 452 00:21:17,599 --> 00:21:21,240 developmental years of life because of what we're talking about, 453 00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:26,160 the spirits that there, that's there, and the purpose behind it, 454 00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:33,920 and I just love it. I produce our material. It's 455 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,279 so easy to do because there's so many good kids. 456 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,079 We had Suley Davis on our show the other day 457 00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:46,519 one of the fantastic freshmen, aj the bants Kiyakina Bear 458 00:21:46,599 --> 00:21:49,640 Bachmeyer and Jane Hedigren.
