Speaker 1: From the original Montgomery and it's the Scott Saderfield Radio
Speaker 1: Show on seven hundred W looking for a six consecutive
Speaker 1: victory eight o'clock on Saturday evening. It is great to
Speaker 1: be here at the original Montgomery and coach, It's awesome
Speaker 1: to get a chance to sit down with you and
Speaker 1: talk about your team. The only thing that would make
Speaker 1: tonight better would be if you were sitting between myself
Speaker 1: and Jim Kelly. And we were all so incredibly heartbroken
Speaker 1: yesterday morning to find out that, for my money, somebody
Speaker 1: who is more synonymous with University of Cincinnati football and
Speaker 1: quite frankly, University of Cincinnati Athletics passed away. We've talked
Speaker 1: a lot in recent weeks about Jim stepping away from
Speaker 1: his broadcast duties. A few weeks ago we were hoping
Speaker 1: beyond hope that maybe he could join us for Saturday's
Speaker 1: game in some capacity. We lost an absolute titan. You
Speaker 1: were very let tell you what, you were very classic.
Speaker 1: You talked about him after the Kansas game in Lawrence,
Speaker 1: when Jim was not with us. You had some comments today.
Speaker 1: Obviously somebody you got to know during the course of
Speaker 1: your now three seasons at Cincinnati, and uh, just an
Speaker 1: amazing loss, an amazing person, but a tremendous loss.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously a huge loss.
Speaker 3: I feel, man, this this year we were I was
Speaker 3: talking about this today in the office with Man, there's
Speaker 3: been some losses this year of people that have been
Speaker 3: close to me, you know. And I guess as you
Speaker 3: get older, you're gonna that's gonna happen more and more.
Speaker 2: But it but it was certainly heartbreaking to get.
Speaker 3: That news, you know, because it was I felt like
Speaker 3: it was just a couple of weeks ago. You know,
Speaker 3: Jim is sitting right here, Yeah, and you know when
Speaker 3: he's interviewing me after the games, and you know, but.
Speaker 2: I tell you I said this today.
Speaker 3: I mean, the most positive guy, one of the most
Speaker 3: positive guys I've been around, you know, and our you know,
Speaker 3: our first year we're not very good, and he always
Speaker 3: find something that was positive. And I always really appreciate
Speaker 3: that as a coach, because not many people in your
Speaker 3: corner when you're going through stuff like that. And but
Speaker 3: always felt like Jim was and uh, and just a
Speaker 3: it's a great heart, great soul, you know, And yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, what a what a tragedy for us to
Speaker 3: lose him and not to be able to you know,
Speaker 3: be around him.
Speaker 2: But I do think, I mean, that was one positive.
Speaker 3: I mean, just to be on this winn a streak
Speaker 3: and now for this weekend and get the big win
Speaker 3: and then to get ranked you know, Monday, and you know,
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure he found that out, you know, hopefully,
Speaker 3: and that brought it, you know, a smile to him.
Speaker 2: But but yeah, what a loss. Jim Kelly.
Speaker 1: I talked to his son Dave on Monday morning and
Speaker 1: he told me he goes well. On Saturday, I watched
Speaker 1: the game with Dad. He had plenty of analysis and
Speaker 1: so I know this sounds hokey, but if you were
Speaker 1: to say to Jim Kelly, your last full day on Earth, what.
Speaker 2: Do you want to do?
Speaker 1: He would say, I want to do two things. I
Speaker 1: want to be with my family because Jim was the
Speaker 1: ultimate family man. And I want to spend it watching
Speaker 1: the UC Bearcats get a victory. And I said that
Speaker 1: to my wife on yesterday morning. I said, at the
Speaker 1: very least, I'm gonna take some solace in the fact
Speaker 1: that Jim's last full day on Earth he was with
Speaker 1: his family and he was watching the Bearcats gena win.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, no, exactly right.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's uh, you know, none of
Speaker 3: us are all of us are going to be going.
Speaker 2: We're going at some point, you know.
Speaker 3: But to be able to to be doing what you
Speaker 3: want to do in that moment when that happens, I
Speaker 3: mean that that if I when it's my time, that's
Speaker 3: what I want to be doing too, being with my
Speaker 3: family and doing something that you love.
Speaker 2: And he was loved and.
Speaker 3: I think and I know he felt that, you know,
Speaker 3: and you know, but yeah, what a loss and certainly
Speaker 3: going to be missed.
Speaker 2: No question about it.
Speaker 1: The only thing that would make the five game and
Speaker 1: soon to be six game winning streak better would be
Speaker 1: to have a chance to talk about it with Jim.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about your team.
Speaker 1: We were talking about this on the air right after
Speaker 1: the game on Saturday. You use the same verbiage in
Speaker 1: your your press conference today. That's a weird game on Saturday,
Speaker 1: twenty to eleven victory over UC.
Speaker 2: I felt like you guys never had the ball in
Speaker 2: the second half.
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like the game was ever necessarily in danger,
Speaker 1: but just a kind of a bizarre afternoon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was I felt the same.
Speaker 3: Once we got up seventeen nothing, I felt like, Okay,
Speaker 3: we got a good chance, good opportunity to win this game.
Speaker 2: And you know, when the second half came out, I
Speaker 2: felt like, you know a.
Speaker 3: Little bit similar to the Iowa State game, and the
Speaker 3: fact that you know, they occupied the ball a lot,
Speaker 3: you know, right there when he came out, they had
Speaker 3: it seven minutes in the second half, third quarter, these
Speaker 3: guys had the ball first coming out as well. And
Speaker 3: then in the second half, you know, they had two
Speaker 3: drives that were very abnormal. A seventeen play drive that
Speaker 3: resulted in a punt. I mean, you're occupying the ball
Speaker 3: a long time just to punt the football. And then
Speaker 3: a nineteen play drive that resulted it, you know, in
Speaker 3: the touchdown. But you know, I felt like, you know,
Speaker 3: in a way, I was just kind of sitting over
Speaker 3: there like watching paint drive, you know, because I mean
Speaker 3: it's just like, you know, five yards here, here's a
Speaker 3: four yard play. Well, then we get them to third
Speaker 3: long and they pick up you know, about half of
Speaker 3: her a little bit more. Now is fourth down, They're
Speaker 3: gonna go for it, right, you know, and then here
Speaker 3: comes a flag and you know and then it's the
Speaker 3: first thing and it starts over again. I mean, it's
Speaker 3: just like it felt like that. It was pretty you know, exhausting.
Speaker 3: I told Tyson Bite our defensive corner. I was like,
Speaker 3: my god, are he goes, yeah, I'm exhausted. This is
Speaker 3: in the middle of the nineteen play drive. I mean,
Speaker 3: because he's trying to come up with another defense to
Speaker 3: try to get to get off the field at some point,
Speaker 3: you know, and meanwhile, you know, I want to hit
Speaker 3: the offense back out there so we can get an
Speaker 3: opportunity to go. And so in the second half we
Speaker 3: ran sixteen plays, you know, and it just not never
Speaker 3: could get any kind of rhythm really, and you know,
Speaker 3: we got a field goal at some point there in
Speaker 3: the third quarter. But but yeah, it was just a
Speaker 3: very very unusual game. But I mean, obviously we're glad
Speaker 3: we were on top, and you know, we had to
Speaker 3: control the game pretty much the whole time. And again
Speaker 3: fast start though, I really, you know, they had not
Speaker 3: given up a point in the first quarter, you know,
Speaker 3: and we were able to go out and get a
Speaker 3: touchdown early in the game and continue and we built
Speaker 3: that seventeen lead, and I felt obviously felt good about it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, we just got to be able to finish better.
Speaker 1: It didn't feel like during those two long drives the
Speaker 1: defense was necessarily playing poorly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you don't want you know, you want to
Speaker 2: get off the field.
Speaker 3: No, I agree with that. You know you do want
Speaker 3: to get off the field. And there was three in
Speaker 3: the ninth Peo play. There's three plays in a row
Speaker 3: where our linebacker's right there to make the tackle and
Speaker 3: we did not make it three three times in a row,
Speaker 3: including fourth and twelve when gold a arguably are best player,
Speaker 3: had him wrapped up. Somehow, he gets out, runs to
Speaker 3: the sideline, blindly throws it up. It hits Christian Harrison
Speaker 3: right in the five. He bounces up right to their
Speaker 3: guy running toward their goal line.
Speaker 2: He catches it.
Speaker 3: I'm what, this is unbelievable. Yes, I wake up Sunday morning.
Speaker 3: I was like the number one play every day on Saturday.
Speaker 3: So that's not good. But uh, you know, it was
Speaker 3: just that kind of drive and you know, in the
Speaker 3: second half and then and then it's fourth down again
Speaker 3: and then you call the penalty and the end zone
Speaker 3: and the ultimate end.
Speaker 2: Up scoring again.
Speaker 3: But you know, very weird weird, weird second half. To
Speaker 3: say the least, first half was probably normal, but the second,
Speaker 3: the second half was where it got kind.
Speaker 2: Of weird and crazy. And you know, obviously, you know,
Speaker 2: don't like that.
Speaker 3: We want to be we want to be on the
Speaker 3: other and we want to get more plays than the
Speaker 3: other team. You know that that that that'd be a
Speaker 3: good change.
Speaker 1: How hard is it as a play caller when all right,
Speaker 1: your offense takes the field. I think it was nearly
Speaker 1: an hour before between snaps, and it's I have to
Speaker 1: think as a player, it's difficult to kind of get
Speaker 1: yourself back up and ready to go. Is it difficult
Speaker 1: as a play caller to kind of get back in
Speaker 1: the frame of mind of oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're on all yeah, yes, I mean and then
Speaker 3: wor right, because you're always thinking about the guys, you know, what,
Speaker 3: what can we get?
Speaker 2: What play do we need to get into?
Speaker 3: They've been sitting over here forever, you know, and then
Speaker 3: you know who needs to touch the ball like, and
Speaker 3: how to what formation we need to get into? What
Speaker 3: we haven't had any rhythms, So it's kind of hard,
Speaker 3: you know. One of the drives I think we got
Speaker 3: quite a bit on first down. I think we got
Speaker 3: nine yards is second and one. We ran the ball,
Speaker 3: we didn't get anything, and then we tempoed third down
Speaker 3: to get it and it was a run pass option.
Speaker 2: We ended up pulling it and throwing it away.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh my gosh, you know, we had
Speaker 3: second and one third run, we don't we don't get
Speaker 3: a first down, you know, and we're right back over
Speaker 3: here watching again, you know, And that's why it felt weird,
Speaker 3: because we just couldn't get anything going.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: It was some poor execution on our part. Offensively, I think, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, missed some blocks early in the game. It
Speaker 3: had a couple of drops. Just not not not our
Speaker 3: best game offensively. I think our offensive line has played
Speaker 3: great all year, you know, not that time's not great there.
Speaker 3: You know, they didn't play great either up front. But
Speaker 3: but I do I want to get a credit Central Florid.
Speaker 2: I thought they've did.
Speaker 3: Defense was solid, they had some speed, They always kept
Speaker 3: six people in the.
Speaker 2: Box, you know, which really kind of crowded that.
Speaker 3: You know, I think, if you're looking back on it,
Speaker 3: felt like, you know, probably probably should have spread it
Speaker 3: out a little bit more in a second half. And
Speaker 3: and you know, trying to get the passing game going.
Speaker 2: A little bit better.
Speaker 3: But you know, somebody asked the question today, you know,
Speaker 3: once you get a lead, you know, and you're getting
Speaker 3: into the fourth quarter, do you change a little bit?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: And I think, well, you don't want to do any
Speaker 3: Do you want to put your kids in a bund, You
Speaker 3: don't want to lose yards, you don't want to turn
Speaker 3: the ball over.
Speaker 2: There's a fine line for trying.
Speaker 3: To be overly aggressive right there, but probably hindsight, be
Speaker 3: a little bit more aggresive than we were.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I.
Speaker 1: Was waiting for what you had the week before, which
Speaker 1: was the eighty two yard gast player right to kind
Speaker 1: of just open things up a little bit of a
Speaker 1: sire relief for the fans.
Speaker 2: You know, you your back up by sixteen points.
Speaker 3: And that sort of played never material that we almost
Speaker 3: had it. We had we had Caleb Goodie on a
Speaker 3: on a fade route on their sideline. The defender ended
Speaker 3: up falling down and it went just right over his hand.
Speaker 3: That would have been a sixty yard touchdown probably, But
Speaker 3: that's really the only one that it comes to mind
Speaker 3: like that, and that would have been huge to get
Speaker 3: that maybe because you get some momentum right there. I man,
Speaker 3: maybe you know, you get the kids get excited. Now
Speaker 3: now we're now we're rolling.
Speaker 1: I thought that game, you know, Max Fletcher four punts
Speaker 1: inside the fifteen Big twelve Special Teams Player of the
Speaker 1: Week Stephen Rusnak continues to be perfect. I thought that
Speaker 1: game was the biggest example yet of how improved your
Speaker 1: special teams units are. And it's everyone. It's punt return,
Speaker 1: kick return, it's it's pat it's field goal, it's it's
Speaker 1: every phase of special teams. I thought on Saturday, and
Speaker 1: we talked about this in the postgame show as well,
Speaker 1: that was the best example of how far you guys
Speaker 1: have come.
Speaker 2: From a special team's perspective. Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 3: Then they've played really good all year and yeah, you
Speaker 3: know you mentioned, you know, Max putting the ball like
Speaker 3: that is flipping the field, putting the ball inside the
Speaker 3: twenty four times, the one that got on.
Speaker 2: The two yard line, incredible play.
Speaker 3: You know, Manny coves down, grab the ball right before
Speaker 3: the goal line, threw it behind his back to the teammate,
Speaker 3: caught it on the two yard line to be able
Speaker 3: to down it. I mean those guys are taking extreme
Speaker 3: pride in playing you know, fundamentally sound special teams, leveraging
Speaker 3: the ball like they supposed to. But you know, our
Speaker 3: punter and our kicker are playing really really good as well.
Speaker 3: But you put that with the fact that guys away
Speaker 3: they're covering. I think Stoke, Kyle Stokes on a kickoff
Speaker 3: came down and tackled him on the ten yard line.
Speaker 2: Like that's huge.
Speaker 3: You know, we're one of the best kickoff teams because
Speaker 3: of that. Steve has been a lot of them in
Speaker 3: the end zone. But when they do bring it out,
Speaker 3: our guys are right there to cover it, you know.
Speaker 3: And being able to win the fifth field position battle,
Speaker 3: I mean obviously huge. That is paying dividends for us
Speaker 3: and winning these football games.
Speaker 1: We are at the original Montgomery in We are getting
Speaker 1: set for Saturday night, twenty fourth rated Cincinnati on the
Speaker 1: road against Oklahoma State.
Speaker 2: That game will kick off at eight o'clock.
Speaker 1: We'll have it for you on seven hundred WLW Saturday
Speaker 1: evening from Stillwater starting at seven am. More to come
Speaker 1: seventeen minutes after eight o'clock. It's the Scott Saderfield Radio
Speaker 1: Show on seven hundred WLW eighteen minutes after eight o'clock,
Speaker 1: we're at the original Montgomery in for the Scott Satderfield
Speaker 1: Radio show, Moegger filling in for Dan Horde as we
Speaker 1: get set for Saturday night. Since looking for a six
Speaker 1: consecutive victory, the Bearcats ranked in the top twenty five.
Speaker 1: That's obviously not the end goal, but it does have
Speaker 1: to be does have to feel good.
Speaker 3: To see that number next to Cincinnati absolutely feels good,
Speaker 3: you know, I think you know, obviously we're taking it
Speaker 3: one game at a time and trying to do our
Speaker 3: best this week versus Oklahoma State. But you know, anytime
Speaker 3: you can get your school associated with a number right
Speaker 3: there in the top twenty five, that means something.
Speaker 2: I think you know.
Speaker 3: Called about an hour and a half last night, I'm
Speaker 3: talking to recruits and obviously we're talking about being in
Speaker 3: the top twenty five. I mean like that that is
Speaker 3: something that is very positive. I mean, you turn on
Speaker 3: a TV and a clicker comes across. They put the
Speaker 3: ones that are the top twenty five on there. Yes,
Speaker 3: when you go to Espana look at the scores, they
Speaker 3: pull up the top twenty five first.
Speaker 2: I mean, so there is something to.
Speaker 3: It and and what it means is you're playing good football,
Speaker 3: you know, but we want to stay in the top
Speaker 3: twenty five, you know, and then and obviously you want
Speaker 3: to be there by the end of the season.
Speaker 2: That's that's the ultimate goal, no question about that.
Speaker 1: We have questions in the audience, our friend John Daniel
Speaker 1: from the UC Athletic Department handling the microphone.
Speaker 2: Who do we have.
Speaker 3: We've got Gary, Yeah, coach Oklahoma State.
Speaker 2: I haven't had a chance to look at him. What's
Speaker 2: their what they got offense? Defense? Yeah? Well they have
Speaker 2: both those things. They do have both of those things. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, it's pretty interesting, you know, the fact that coach Gundy,
Speaker 3: their head coach, have been there forever played there was there,
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how many years, a long
Speaker 3: time as the head coaching, very successful coach. They ended
Speaker 3: up moving on from him a few weeks back. Doug
Speaker 3: Meachum takes over, who just got there this year. He
Speaker 3: was at TCU last year, so now he's taken over
Speaker 3: the helm. He actually played there at Oklahoma State. So
Speaker 3: you know, anytime you have a coach that changed, obviously
Speaker 3: just from some things that were not going well for them,
Speaker 3: and they've had some issues at quarterback. Their starting quarterback
Speaker 3: that came in from TCU started at the beginning of
Speaker 3: the year, broke a bone in his foot had to
Speaker 3: have surgery, So they've had a little bit of a
Speaker 3: revolving door at the quarterback position. Last week, they took
Speaker 3: one of their receivers who in his early in his
Speaker 3: career was a quarterback.
Speaker 2: They put them at quarterback.
Speaker 3: You know, so, but he actually threw the ball, you know,
Speaker 3: really well. I've been watching the game last week. He
Speaker 3: threw it pretty good. He can run, he can throw,
Speaker 3: you know. And then defensively, after they've they got rid
Speaker 3: of Gundy, they they made a change of defensive coordinator,
Speaker 3: so a new coordinator as.
Speaker 2: Well over the last two weeks.
Speaker 3: So they've had a lot of change in the coaches
Speaker 3: and what they've been trying to do offense and defense,
Speaker 3: and so you know, they've struggled a little bit in
Speaker 3: that room, both sides of the ball. So for us
Speaker 3: as coaches, it's a little bit hard to game plan
Speaker 3: because you don't really fully understand what you're gonna get.
Speaker 3: Changes so many things offensively and defensively. Last week, they
Speaker 3: threw a touchdown pass on a trick play so they've
Speaker 3: been starting to run more of those things. So we
Speaker 3: really got to defend the whole field. They've you know,
Speaker 3: they've had eight players throwaway pass this year. Like that's
Speaker 3: that's unusual stat right, you know. And I think that's
Speaker 3: has to speak to the problems they've had at quarterback
Speaker 3: right there.
Speaker 2: But I think their defense, but I think they get
Speaker 2: after on defense. I think they've pressured the quarterback.
Speaker 3: I think they've got eight or nine sacks on the
Speaker 3: season from the defensive side of the ball. Their special
Speaker 3: teams are good. They're very solid on the teams, you know.
Speaker 3: And and here's the other thing. We're going on the
Speaker 3: road in the Big twelve, playing at night. It's homecoming,
Speaker 3: like you know that in itself, they're gonna be inspired,
Speaker 3: you know, bringing all their alumni back. That that'll be
Speaker 3: they'll play Aspire football. We'll get their best shot. We
Speaker 3: just got ranked. I mean, they're like, hey, what's what
Speaker 3: the thing that we can do is knock them off
Speaker 3: the pedestal, right, So, uh so we got to have
Speaker 3: our guys ready to go.
Speaker 2: Dave Hey coach.
Speaker 4: Uh First of all, again, thoughts and prayers at to
Speaker 4: Jim's family. I've always tried to have a question for him,
Speaker 4: and uh, I'm gonna continue that. Yeah, so I saw
Speaker 4: today that we landed a commit from Springboro and you
Speaker 4: mentioned recruiting earlier. How do you guys balance recruiting during
Speaker 4: the uh, during the season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's difficult during the season, you know. We we
Speaker 3: do have a great team of of people that that's
Speaker 3: what they do, you know, Zach Grant's our GM who
Speaker 3: heads up our recruiting department, our player person know, and
Speaker 3: and several guys who are in that department. That's all
Speaker 3: they do. They recruit, you know, and so they're they're
Speaker 3: in contact with these guys. We're trying to get them
Speaker 3: all to campus, the ones that we're interested in. You know,
Speaker 3: each day we set aside time to watch film, so
Speaker 3: we were gonna get updates on guys.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: We certainly we have our committed players right now. We'll
Speaker 3: go back and watch how they're doing this year their
Speaker 3: senior season, but we're also looking at juniors, and then
Speaker 3: we're also looking at you know, twenty twenty seven guys,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight guys, and they're building that database out
Speaker 3: to show the coaches.
Speaker 2: You know. One of the things we do on Monday night, you.
Speaker 3: Know, we set aside about an hour hour and a
Speaker 3: half to do calls, and so we're inside the office
Speaker 3: and we're on the phone. We're passing it around talking
Speaker 3: to these recruits, and then we try to bring them
Speaker 3: on campus, like you know, for Saturday, we had a
Speaker 3: bunch of good recruits in here Saturday. You know, the
Speaker 3: one you're speaking of was here, you know, and uh,
Speaker 3: and so you know, we're trying to show them a
Speaker 3: good time. We want to you know, show them Dipper,
Speaker 3: show them what what this fan base is all about.
Speaker 3: And so they the last two weeks, you know, come
Speaker 3: to see an Iowa State game and then you know,
Speaker 3: that game was great, We got good wins, and they
Speaker 3: were they were in the locker room up brating with
Speaker 3: us getting to see all that.
Speaker 2: So. Uh, but it is a balance to be able
Speaker 2: to do. It's hard.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a lot of work, you know, and
Speaker 3: try to keep these guys. Here's the other thing. Some
Speaker 3: of these guys that are committed, they're starting to get
Speaker 3: offers from some big schools out there, and it's hard.
Speaker 2: You've got to hold on to these guys.
Speaker 3: You know, we're trying to hang on, and our guys
Speaker 3: do a great job of identifying talent early when they
Speaker 3: don't have anything going on, and you know, and I
Speaker 3: know people like to look at stars and all that.
Speaker 3: Well a lot of these guys are just you know,
Speaker 3: they're just good football players and they haven't been rated
Speaker 3: highly yet and all that.
Speaker 2: And but these guys are going to get a lot offers.
Speaker 3: From the Big ten schools, SEC schools, you know, and
Speaker 3: now we have to have a good enough relationship with
Speaker 3: these guys and that's why we talk to them every
Speaker 3: week that they still feel comfortable about, you know, coming
Speaker 3: to playing for.
Speaker 1: Us in an era where we talk so much about
Speaker 1: the portal and you guys, you benefited from your work
Speaker 1: in the portal this season. It's refreshing to hear a
Speaker 1: coach talk about high school recruiting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, because that's that's kind of blown by
Speaker 3: the waist side of that, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're trying to sign roughly twenty guys every year.
Speaker 3: I mean, we we'd like to sign that because we
Speaker 3: know there's gonna be some a metriction you guys are
Speaker 3: gonna lead that maybe aren't playing or whatever. But that's
Speaker 3: you know, that's eighty guys on your team, and you know,
Speaker 3: you get a little bit of attrition. Then you then
Speaker 3: you fill in with the portal guys. But I just
Speaker 3: I believe you got to you know, that's that's your
Speaker 3: your floor of your program.
Speaker 2: These guys come in, you develop them.
Speaker 3: They they love it here, they love the culture, and
Speaker 3: then they're more apt to be here, you know, and
Speaker 3: then we develop into something great, you know, and then
Speaker 3: they'll be here their whole career. That's the thought and
Speaker 3: that's the hope, you know. But but yeah, but it's
Speaker 3: it's difficult nowadays with how competitive college football is. It's
Speaker 3: competitive on this on the Saturdays, you guys are seeing
Speaker 3: that and how close these games are.
Speaker 2: But it's just as competitive in the recruiting.
Speaker 3: World, like people are doing anything and everything to try
Speaker 3: to get these recruits.
Speaker 2: John, Who's next, coach?
Speaker 5: I tell you your offense is coming together, Caldwell. Early you
Speaker 5: got one of those flash plays again, uh long touchdown.
Speaker 2: Prior was doing great. I mean it seems like you
Speaker 2: got a lot of things clicking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got a lot of talent out there, you know,
Speaker 3: I think, you know, and it's not just one player.
Speaker 2: It's what I like about it. I don't know what
Speaker 2: the stats are.
Speaker 3: We I think there's six receivers that have I don't know,
Speaker 3: over one hundred yards or something like that. We've got,
Speaker 3: you know, Cyrus has five touchdowns, but we've got several
Speaker 3: guys that have touchdown catches.
Speaker 2: So it's not just one person, which is what I
Speaker 2: like about it.
Speaker 3: You know, you got a really good tight end, You've
Speaker 3: got five or six rideouts that are making plays for us,
Speaker 3: two good running backs, offensive lines doing really well, you know,
Speaker 3: in our quarterbacks playing at a high level.
Speaker 2: So you know, who do you stop? You know?
Speaker 3: And I think that's the good thing for us because like, hey,
Speaker 3: you want to stop this guy, Well, we're going to
Speaker 3: this guy, you know. And I think we got to
Speaker 3: be able to continue to do that, you know, and
Speaker 3: do it this week at a high level.
Speaker 2: I'll clarify those numbers for you.
Speaker 1: You have five receivers who have ten or more receptions
Speaker 1: and six who have cleared at least one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty three yards. And it's it's not one guy, you know.
Speaker 1: It's even like the Kansas game, NOA. Jennings makes that catch,
Speaker 1: oh fourth and ten, well, fourth and ten, one handed
Speaker 1: running catch, which it's a great catch. That's a good
Speaker 1: catch in the second quarter with the game hanging in
Speaker 1: the balance, it's the play of the game. And so
Speaker 1: it's to me, I watch it and go with your
Speaker 1: dudes on the outside. You're becoming increasingly difficult to defend.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's a great point.
Speaker 3: You know, you would think, okay, well, if you've got
Speaker 3: to go to guy, you certainly use him on fourth
Speaker 3: and ten.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, we're rotating guys, you know, we want to keep
Speaker 3: them fresh. And you know Noah, we got great confidence
Speaker 3: in Noah. Him and Callwell are kind of split in
Speaker 3: the ex position. You know, we're in that position. And
Speaker 3: then you know, you look at the slot. You know,
Speaker 3: Isaiah and Cyrus are kind of splitting that, you know,
Speaker 3: looking at the Z and you know Caleb Goodies out there,
Speaker 3: who's making some great plays for us. You know, I
Speaker 3: think it's just a it's a it's a perfect world
Speaker 3: that you want a scenario where you've got a bunch
Speaker 3: of different guys that are making plays. I love the
Speaker 3: fact we've got two running backs that are staying fresh,
Speaker 3: you know, and that's that's a great one two combination
Speaker 3: with a bruiser and then a guy who's got a
Speaker 3: lot of speed. But I do think it all kind
Speaker 3: of starts up front. If your offensive line is playing well,
Speaker 3: then then you can move the football and you're able
Speaker 3: to disperse the ball to all the playmakers.
Speaker 2: John, Who's next? Yeah, we got jink. Hey, coach.
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, at the past two games, we've had
Speaker 6: some questionable, almost criminal pass defense calls that have all
Speaker 6: put us all on blood pressure medication. I know you
Speaker 6: can't comment on that, but like, how do you how
Speaker 6: do you coach somebody on that where they did the
Speaker 6: right thing, they still get the bad call, but there's
Speaker 6: still got good coverage. From a coaching standpoint, what do
Speaker 6: you tell tell the player?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's difficult, you know, when when it
Speaker 3: is not a foul, but they call it anyway, Like.
Speaker 2: It's just keep doing what you're doing. I'm that's what
Speaker 2: we're telling them. I mean, I mean, that's really truly
Speaker 2: what we're telling them. Now.
Speaker 3: You know, we had another couple of other PI calls
Speaker 3: that were probably PI calls, you know, they were legit,
Speaker 3: and then we're gonna coach them through that. You know,
Speaker 3: get your head back, you know, don't play through the
Speaker 3: hands once the ball hits.
Speaker 2: There and all those type things.
Speaker 3: But it's very frustrating when we're getting called on some
Speaker 3: calls that you know they're they're really not there, you know.
Speaker 2: And I think sometimes and.
Speaker 3: That is the probably the most hardest thing for referees
Speaker 3: to defend, is passing afference.
Speaker 2: Like it's difficult. Most of the time.
Speaker 3: You have the see we're just putting his hands out,
Speaker 3: and then you have the defenders putting his sounds out,
Speaker 3: you know, and like who who's doing the interfering here?
Speaker 3: And that is really difficult to officiate. But if there's
Speaker 3: no contact, that's pretty easy to officiate.
Speaker 2: One would say, you with this, you would think.
Speaker 3: But I do think there's some anticipation. I think I
Speaker 3: think some of these guys human.
Speaker 2: Nature slips, say, and they think, oh, we would anticipate
Speaker 2: a you know.
Speaker 3: A collision here or a man and and I just
Speaker 3: think they got to see it through, see through the
Speaker 3: play and then take a breath and then move on.
Speaker 2: That's what you would you like to see that call
Speaker 2: itself payt P I be reviewable, you.
Speaker 3: Know, I would other than the fact that it would
Speaker 3: it would prolong the game before long even longer than
Speaker 3: it is right now, because you know, if there's a
Speaker 3: ball thrown down sideline and you have two guys running,
Speaker 3: there's a likelihood of a flag get thrown, like you
Speaker 3: just you just see it every week in college football.
Speaker 3: If two guys are there running down and here comes
Speaker 3: a pass, I feel like, unless it's way overthrown, but
Speaker 3: if it's contested, I feel like it's almost a chance
Speaker 3: that a fly is going to be there about every time.
Speaker 2: I just so it's that is difficult. I think the
Speaker 2: review all right.
Speaker 1: We're at the original Montgomery In for the Scott Sadafield
Speaker 1: radio show, Cincinnati on the Road twenty fourth ranks. Cincinnati
Speaker 1: on the Road on Saturday night for a game against
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. Our pregame coverage from Stillwater on seven hundred
Speaker 1: WLW will start at seven pm. It's news time. It's
Speaker 1: a Scott's Sadifield radio show on seven hundred WLW twenty
Speaker 1: six minutes away from nine o'clock. We are at the
Speaker 1: original Montgomery In on seven hundred WLW for the Scott
Speaker 1: Sanderfield Radio show. Mollegar filling in for Dan Horde, the
Speaker 1: Voice of the Bearcats, is hosting tonight's men's basketball tip
Speaker 1: off dinner at fifth third. His absence gives me the
Speaker 1: distinct pleasure of talking with I think the best pair
Speaker 1: of corners in the Big Twelve, Matthew McDoom and Logan Wilson.
Speaker 2: Give it up for these guys.
Speaker 1: Appreciate good to have you guys. Matthew will start with
Speaker 1: you. You came to Cincinnati after spending the last few years
Speaker 1: of Coastal Carolina. We have seen in person what we
Speaker 1: had read about this off season, which was the speed
Speaker 1: and athleticism. Let's tell the folks, while you chose to
Speaker 1: come to the University of Cincinnati.
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, so being at Coastal Carolina for three years
Speaker 7: it was really nice. But I felt like after my
Speaker 7: third year, when getting the first team Sunbow, I was like,
Speaker 7: let me go test what I could actually do, you know.
Speaker 7: So I was like, let me go to a better conference.
Speaker 7: So when I decided to hit the portals, Cincinnati was
Speaker 7: actually the first school to hit me up, and I
Speaker 7: was like, hey, you know, y'all the first and I
Speaker 7: looked like I go off of love. So coach Bight
Speaker 7: was definitely showing that, and everybody who was texting me
Speaker 7: was definitely showing that so first visit and I was
Speaker 7: that made my decision.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, the logan you were here last season,
Speaker 1: did you did you know Matthew, did you play any
Speaker 1: role in getting him or maybe some of the other
Speaker 1: guys to join the program or just I'll see who's
Speaker 1: here and get to know him once they're here.
Speaker 8: I see who's here.
Speaker 9: But no, it was actually, you know, great at having
Speaker 9: do him come, Like I just felt like Doom just
Speaker 9: brought another different energy, another set of gear, and we
Speaker 9: just as soon as we met each other, we just
Speaker 9: bonding and grew up from that just.
Speaker 1: And you had to have called him Doom from the
Speaker 1: get go, right, You didn't have to ask you were
Speaker 1: here last year, but you you had spent time in
Speaker 1: three other programs.
Speaker 2: Ultimately, what were the factors that made you choose you.
Speaker 9: See, man, just the connection and the family that they
Speaker 9: have honestly is just great people, great people to be around,
Speaker 9: and you know, you don't want to go to Wolf
Speaker 9: for these people, honestly.
Speaker 8: So it just made my decision.
Speaker 1: The in the off season, I think what we knew
Speaker 1: about the defense was all right, there gonna get some
Speaker 1: guys up front back who didn't play last year, very
Speaker 1: good at linebacker. I think a lot of folks were
Speaker 1: wondering about the back end, and I remember talking with
Speaker 1: Jake Golday this summer and he said, like, I am
Speaker 1: so excited about who we have in the back end.
Speaker 1: And what he talked about is what.
Speaker 2: We have seen. This feels like it's come together with
Speaker 2: you guys very quickly.
Speaker 7: Matthew, Yes, sir, definitely, Especially right when I got here,
Speaker 7: I automatically became real close to basically all the dbs. Really,
Speaker 7: it was I was a little, you know, nervous just
Speaker 7: being myself, you know, just a little nervous. But it
Speaker 7: took me like just a few days and then we
Speaker 7: all bonded, so that just went on to the field.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did he have anything to do with us or
Speaker 1: just you know, wait for everybody to show up gets
Speaker 1: definitely definitely.
Speaker 7: Logan being actually the leader in the corner group, it
Speaker 7: was he made it easy to just bond with everybody,
Speaker 7: you know, he was just connecting with everybody, making sure
Speaker 7: everybody was good.
Speaker 1: So the year before, you're the new guy, now you're
Speaker 1: you're the returning player.
Speaker 2: What was that like?
Speaker 8: Oh, you know, it was a little different.
Speaker 9: Honestly, because I was a new guy last year at
Speaker 9: another position, so and then I was a vet coming
Speaker 9: in at a different position, so it was kind of
Speaker 9: it was kind of different, but it was also I
Speaker 9: felt like it played a big role though, because I
Speaker 9: knew all the players and I can help people that's
Speaker 9: coming in.
Speaker 1: And I talked about this with Tyson Bite today. Last
Speaker 1: year it was the three three five, which was new
Speaker 1: to almost everybody, and it just feels like there's a
Speaker 1: comfort level, whether it's players like yourself who were here
Speaker 1: a year ago, players like yourself Matthew who were not
Speaker 1: here a year ago. It just it feels like it's
Speaker 1: clicking the system and the familiarity with it's paying off definitely.
Speaker 7: Really just it was just a communication right when I
Speaker 7: got here in the meetings, Coach Hicks made it easy
Speaker 7: easier on us just to understand it, you know, just
Speaker 7: for the basics, right and then you know, just for
Speaker 7: example Logan just being in a defense, him knowing how
Speaker 7: it is, just the actual help. You know, It's just
Speaker 7: it made it a lot easier.
Speaker 2: You guys gonna get a pick.
Speaker 1: I mean you, I know you're tired of that question,
Speaker 1: but you know, hey, the best corner duo in the
Speaker 1: Big twelve. But you know how many picks do they
Speaker 1: have as many as me?
Speaker 2: Who's gonna get the first one? Is there a competition?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 9: We got a competition going now, yeah, yeah, right, because
Speaker 9: we gotta get one. But it's gonna be in due time,
Speaker 9: and I feel like it's gonna come at the right time.
Speaker 9: And once it comes, I just feel like everybody's just
Speaker 9: gonna start getting it right.
Speaker 8: Just start clicking.
Speaker 1: You want interceptions, but you're not playing the ball looking
Speaker 1: for picks, right, They're gonna come if you if your
Speaker 1: technique is sound, if you're covering your guy, if you're
Speaker 1: around the ball.
Speaker 2: The picks are gonna come. It's a matter of time.
Speaker 2: That's a good way of looking at it.
Speaker 7: Yep, your job, Do you a job, and when the
Speaker 7: ball comes, just make a player.
Speaker 1: But when one of you, if it's either of you,
Speaker 1: you get. If you get the first one, then what happens.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be something at play here, right.
Speaker 8: Ahead, go figure it out. Okay, we just gotta get it.
Speaker 2: What if it's one of those other guys.
Speaker 1: I have noticed that about you guys, that there's you know,
Speaker 1: forget the picks when one of the other dudes makes
Speaker 1: a play. I used to say this about Sauce Gardener
Speaker 1: and Brian Cook and the guys who were here four
Speaker 1: or five years ago. When one guy made a play,
Speaker 1: you'd see all the dbs get so excited.
Speaker 2: I see that with you guys. That's a big part
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: The other thing that I think it is in play
Speaker 1: here when I think of those guys, I remember watching,
Speaker 1: you know, Trey Tucker and Alec Pierce play in practice again,
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardener and Kobe Bryant, and I feel like the
Speaker 1: guys that the Bearcats have on the outside offensively challenge
Speaker 1: you guys in practice, and you that that pays off
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 8: Definitely, they get us better every day.
Speaker 9: Yeah, every day they may give a get us on
Speaker 9: a on a rep. On the rep, we may get
Speaker 9: them on a rep. But it's just every day we
Speaker 9: just getting better.
Speaker 2: Did you get any interceptions in practice? Yeah? Yeah, Sorry,
Speaker 2: I asked you.
Speaker 1: Logan Wilson is obviously it's a football name in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: He's the linebacker at the Cincinnati Bengals. And you were
Speaker 1: kind enough to join me on the pregame show last year,
Speaker 1: and I said Logan, like, have you met the other
Speaker 1: Logan Wilson, and he said not yet. It's been about
Speaker 1: a year. You and Logan haven't crossed pass yet.
Speaker 8: We have not a cross paths yet.
Speaker 2: How's that happened?
Speaker 8: I don't know. I really don't know. I'll go to it.
Speaker 8: Like I go to a restaurant, I say my name, Yeah.
Speaker 9: They always think I like the linebacker from the Bengals.
Speaker 8: So it's like every time I go in there, they'd
Speaker 8: be like, oh, where do you go?
Speaker 2: We're disappointed?
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Really, it's like when I walk in here and it's
Speaker 1: not Dan Hord, it's the same thing.
Speaker 2: Oh oh him.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you would think at some point one
Speaker 1: of you would, you know, initiate.
Speaker 8: Just maybe I had to initiate.
Speaker 1: It aren't that many Matthew mcdooms though, when you when
Speaker 1: you do settings like this, or you meet people for
Speaker 1: the first time, like they want to talk about your
Speaker 1: last name, right, Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's mostly mostly when they hear it, when they
Speaker 7: hear it for the first time, like, oh, yeah, that's
Speaker 7: the football, Yes it is, Yeah, yes it is.
Speaker 1: Coach was was asked about bad calls, and I've seen
Speaker 1: in recent weeks. I need you to be responsible here.
Speaker 1: But I've seen you both in recent weeks get flags
Speaker 1: that you didn't deserve. For you, it was the unnecessary roughness.
Speaker 1: But the dude still fighting for yardage and he's just
Speaker 1: brought them to the ground and then the guys grabbing
Speaker 1: your face mask and it's p I on you.
Speaker 2: Is it? You got to move on? Right? Is that hard?
Speaker 2: Wouldn't be I'm still talking about it a week and
Speaker 2: a half.
Speaker 9: Later as it is because he got the p I.
Speaker 2: I'll say, no, it's not hard.
Speaker 7: It's really just next play mentality, you know, just grow
Speaker 7: up playing football. That's that's what it is. You know,
Speaker 7: it's you know, pis are hard for the rest.
Speaker 2: You know, the guys grabbing your face mask, it ain't
Speaker 2: that hard.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's like it's in the moment. It's in
Speaker 7: the moment, so you know the ref has it. There
Speaker 7: are certain angles. We have our angles, so you know,
Speaker 7: it's just it's in the moment. But you know the
Speaker 7: ref makes a call. You gotta by the call.
Speaker 2: Though. Yeah, I think that stood out about you guys
Speaker 2: this year. Awesome.
Speaker 1: We're gonna step aside if anybody has a question for
Speaker 1: Matthew or Logan. That doesn't involve neither having a pick
Speaker 1: this year, John Daniel walking around with the live mic.
Speaker 2: It is seventeen minutes away from nine o'clock.
Speaker 1: We are at the original Montgomery in the Scott Sadderfield
Speaker 1: Radio Show on seven hundred WLW. Final segment of the
Speaker 1: Scott Sanderfield Radio Show on seven hundred wl W. We
Speaker 1: have a great crowd with us tonight here at the
Speaker 1: original Montgomery and Moegar filling in for the voice of
Speaker 1: the Bearcats.
Speaker 2: Dan Horde.
Speaker 1: Dan will be behind the microphone on Saturday night along
Speaker 1: with Tony Pike in still Water as Cincinnati takes on
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. The Bearcats looking for a six consecutive victory,
Speaker 1: looking to improve upon that number twenty four ranking in
Speaker 1: both major polls and achieve Bowl eligibility with a win
Speaker 1: over the Cowboys on Saturday Night. I am joined by
Speaker 1: cornerbacks Matthew McDoom and Logan Wilson, and we have questions
Speaker 1: from the crowd.
Speaker 2: Are you guys ready? So all right, here we go, sir,
Speaker 2: go ahead.
Speaker 10: So my question is we got to talk about the
Speaker 10: offense having to deal with noise issues when you guys
Speaker 10: played Nebraska. So you guys are on defense at home
Speaker 10: when the crowd's getting loud on those third downs, I
Speaker 10: see a lot of hand signals, armed signals. How difficult
Speaker 10: is it for you guys to communicate what you're doing
Speaker 10: when the home crowd is trying to make it tough
Speaker 10: on the opposing offense?
Speaker 9: Let me do Really, it's just a lot of hand signals,
Speaker 9: a lot of communication, talking on the sideline when we
Speaker 9: come off the field from like a possession or a timeout,
Speaker 9: and just really just figuring out like what we can
Speaker 9: do to kind of calm it down for everybody on
Speaker 9: the defensive side. So it's just really just figuring out
Speaker 9: everybody and just figuring out the communication part.
Speaker 7: I say, really, it all starts like the beginning of
Speaker 7: the week, you know, in practice, you know, just communicating what.
Speaker 2: We see from our scouts team.
Speaker 7: So when we get to the game or we've seen
Speaker 7: it before, so hey, like yo, we've seen this with
Speaker 7: like you know, so that's really it just practice.
Speaker 2: I will say this having come to a couple of
Speaker 2: summer practices.
Speaker 1: Whatever the crowd noise is is not as loud as
Speaker 1: the music that's blaring.
Speaker 2: No would you guys prepare right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, usually some of my favorite songs are played
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: We have another question from the ground.
Speaker 11: No, I think you're incorrect about one thing. I think
Speaker 11: mister McDoom.
Speaker 4: Had an interception that the refs took away from.
Speaker 2: Why does she bring that up and not you?
Speaker 7: Because it ain't count it count I can't count it.
Speaker 2: That's a tough one.
Speaker 8: I hated that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are your coaches.
Speaker 1: Reminding you of the the whole non no interceptions thing?
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 8: Yeah, every day, every day? Definitely, the coaches, the players,
Speaker 8: your teammates.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's gonna happen if like one of the like
Speaker 1: the D lineman gets a fluke interceptions like Jalen Hunt
Speaker 1: bashed out of ball and catches it and he has
Speaker 1: a pick and neither of you guys do Yeah, true teammate,
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 4: So this question is for both of you guys. And UH,
Speaker 4: this is sort of my default question for players that
Speaker 4: are not from the Cincinnati area. Are there places that
Speaker 4: you guys like to go around town? Other restaurants other
Speaker 4: than the Montgomery and uh other sporting teams that you
Speaker 4: guys have gone to watch? What what do you like
Speaker 4: to do outside of football?
Speaker 2: Here?
Speaker 4: In Cincinnati.
Speaker 7: Oh, I say, my favorite food spot which I took
Speaker 7: my mom last time she was here, was Milkman. It's
Speaker 7: like a uh smash regular. Yeah, it was a great
Speaker 7: place exactly.
Speaker 8: For me. I kind of like light the Fielding.
Speaker 9: I always go to the Fielding and guess on the
Speaker 9: probably go like once every week, honestly, So I think
Speaker 9: that's probably my favorite place to go.
Speaker 2: Once a week. You work out an nil deal very good.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that's where you and Logan Wilson of the
Speaker 1: Pedals can have watch right up the street.
Speaker 2: That'd be. That'd be pretty good to ask. You See,
Speaker 2: you can't ask if you don't reach out.
Speaker 1: You know, if only there was somebody that like worked
Speaker 1: for both, you know, teams that can make that happen.
Speaker 2: Hoard comment Dan.
Speaker 8: He can make it, he can. Yes, I'm mad to
Speaker 8: talk to you.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to see if Dan can can facilitate that.
Speaker 1: What has been for both of you The best part
Speaker 1: about you know, coming there's the school and there's the program.
Speaker 2: But living in Cincinnati.
Speaker 7: I'll start, I say, I moved here in January.
Speaker 2: So right when I.
Speaker 7: Moved in, it was like a big snowstart that just passed.
Speaker 7: So being from Florida, you know, we're moving in by
Speaker 7: myself and in the apartment with the snow, I was like, wow,
Speaker 7: this is crazy, you know, walking outside and just seeing white.
Speaker 7: You know, I'm not I wasn't really used to it,
Speaker 7: but you know, just going through that was really cool
Speaker 7: for the first time. That's a reason why I chose
Speaker 7: to come here. But it's just a different weather so
Speaker 7: m logan for me.
Speaker 8: I actually like it.
Speaker 9: Honestly. It's it's it's real calm. It's a calm city.
Speaker 9: It's not really too much to do, so it's it's
Speaker 9: a lot of focus.
Speaker 2: There's nothing to do here.
Speaker 9: Now it is stuff to do, but I'm saying it's
Speaker 9: not like from Dallas. I'm from Dallas, so from a
Speaker 9: big city, so like it's something to do everywhere, so
Speaker 9: kind of here it's kind of calm. It's kind of smaller.
Speaker 9: It's kind of just you more so, just growing. And
Speaker 9: it's like, I love your cold.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, if you need things to do,
Speaker 2: I can.
Speaker 1: I can show you around and hang out, which could
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: All Right, we have another question around.
Speaker 11: Hey guys, move man. Kobe Bryant Saws, Brian Cook obviously
Speaker 11: great players in the NFL. Have those guys come back
Speaker 11: at all since you've been here and interacted with you
Speaker 11: in the summer or given you any tips when they're back?
Speaker 11: I know some players come.
Speaker 8: Back, right.
Speaker 9: Actually, I got a chance to work out with Cook
Speaker 9: over the summer, so just obviously just talking to him
Speaker 9: and figuring out his story honestly, and just figuring out
Speaker 9: the tips that he gave me. It was actually a
Speaker 9: surreal moment. And I still keep up with him, so
Speaker 9: I mess with that. So that's the only one I
Speaker 9: got so far.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen them yet.
Speaker 1: Now have there been NFL guys or even college players
Speaker 1: that as you've been developing that either of you have
Speaker 1: tried to pattern your games after.
Speaker 8: Started?
Speaker 7: I really say, he don't play my position, but I
Speaker 7: grew up loving Odell Beckham. Okay, so just being like
Speaker 7: the playmaker, you know, making plays. Well, I say, for
Speaker 7: my my position, I love just Denzel Ward really because
Speaker 7: he's an athlete, you know, just athlete, just making plays.
Speaker 7: You know this technique, cover coverage skills.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 7: I won't say I play like him, but I like
Speaker 7: how he play.
Speaker 8: I say, for me, it will be Tyran Matthew.
Speaker 9: He plays everywhere on the field, and I feel like
Speaker 9: me and him kind of got the same bottle of game,
Speaker 9: me and him like the same size and stuff.
Speaker 8: So that's that's one person I look up to the most.
Speaker 2: All right, we have one more. All right.
Speaker 12: I'm a student like you, guys. My question to you
Speaker 12: is what do you look for? Like when you're in
Speaker 12: the transfer portal and you're looking into other programs, what
Speaker 12: like what do you look for and and like what
Speaker 12: what matters the most to you and you're deciding what
Speaker 12: team to go to.
Speaker 2: And what's your.
Speaker 9: Well, my major was kinesiology. I get my Masters and
Speaker 9: Sports administration in December.
Speaker 2: Wow, very good man.
Speaker 7: Fat, I'm in interdispilsinary studies. It's basically just like general studies.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 1: I can't spell kinesiology, so it seems like I was
