<v Speaker 3>number seventeen in the country, winners of seven straight hitting

<v Speaker 3>the road for a Saturday night showdown at number twenty

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 3>four Utah. From around that the man from Bearcat Journal

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 3>dot Com, Chad brindle. How are you.

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 2>I am currently talking to you and cooking up some

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 2>carne asada nachos.

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, some of this one.

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 3>I'll pick up some of those on the way home.

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Time. I just stopped. I mean, I'm on your leg.

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all right, let's jump into it big one Saturday night,

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:39.679
<v Speaker 3>no Evan Pryor explained this significance and how the slack

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 3>might be picked up or handled without him.

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>He's clearly important, and that he's one of the things

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I think that maybe hasn't been talked about enough this year,

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the way that he has transformed his game. He was

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 2>almost strictly a home run hitter last year. He's giving

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>you more between the tackles. He's been super effective, and

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 2>he's been able to hit some of those those long runs.

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna miss him, obviously, But in a game like

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 2>this with a defense that's as physical as Utah, I'm

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 2>not upset at the thought of Tywie Walker getting more touches.

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>I just think his style, his ability to absorb some

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>of that contact that that Utah wants to lay on you.

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.959
<v Speaker 2>Seeing him get more touches I don't necessarily think is

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 2>a bad thing. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 2>most of Evan Pryor's carries. I think, you know, Chance

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.919
<v Speaker 2>Williams is probably the first guy in line to get

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 2>some of those touches. And then Manny Covey is another

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 2>one that I think, you know, potentially you could see

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>him in the mix as well.

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.520
<v Speaker 4>So I was this week Brendan Soorsby named to the

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 4>Davy O'Brien class at twenty five. Just talk about I mean, again,

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 4>as someone who's watched him, maybe more than anybody has,

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 4>what he was when he came here last year, you know,

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 4>a good season, not spectActor, but then how he's gotten

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 4>to this point where, I mean, he's one of the

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 4>top quarterbacks in the nation.

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's incredible, Rocky. This is I don't know

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 2>that I've ever seen someone move past this. You know

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:27.679
<v Speaker 2>what we talked about a lot last year, and we

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 2>talked about Brendon Sorosby gunslinger right right out there, just

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>big arm, firing the ball around, maybe a little reckless

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 2>at times. He's been like the least reckless quarterback in

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 2>the country this year. That transformation from him has been unbelievable.

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>He has thrown some balls away this year that last year,

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 2>he would have tried to fit in the tight spot.

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 2>He would have put his receiver in a bad place,

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, taking a chance, see the ball pop up

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>in the air and next thing you know, the other team.

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>He's got a killer. To go back to that West

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Virginia game last year, he cost him the game and

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 2>to see the maturation a lot of it, like and

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 2>they're not people aren't wrong when they say this that

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 2>the weapons are a big reason he's transformed. I completely

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 2>agree with that. But Brendan Soresby has transformed as a quarterback.

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 2>That's spreading it around. He's hitting the open man. He's

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.039
<v Speaker 2>not forcing things, he's not putting his team, you know,

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 2>his defense in a bad situation like that. Have you

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 2>ever seen that rock? Have you ever seen a guy

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.559
<v Speaker 2>that had that gunslinger label that all of a sudden

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.039
<v Speaker 2>just it's not considered that anyway.

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:44.159
<v Speaker 4>I agree with you because I've seen quarterbacks can can

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 4>repair flaws. Usually if you're a gun slinger, you're a

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 4>gun slinger, and you're gonna live and die by that.

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 4>And just kind of coach goes, well, he's gonna throw

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 4>three interceptions, but if he throws five touchdown passes, we

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 4>live with it. Yeah, that's usually not a quality you

0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 4>kind of grow out of. That's usually your identity, and

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.279
<v Speaker 4>that's it's amazing that he's been able to correct.

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 3>That, all right, how he's remarkable. How do you feel

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:12.039
<v Speaker 3>about this Bearcat defense against a Utah run game, piling

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 3>up two and sixty seven yards a game on the ground.

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, make no mistake since that he's going to give

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 2>up some yards. We know that. I think it's super

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 2>important early that they're able to limit that because if

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.599
<v Speaker 2>you can get up on Utah. We saw Texas Tech

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 2>do at Uyu stayed kind of right with them, you

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 2>can have some success. If you let them march down

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:45.119
<v Speaker 2>the field on a twelve play seventy five yard drive

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 2>to open the game and then you go three and out,

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:51.679
<v Speaker 2>they're up seven to nothing with the ball, you're in trouble.

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Like they they play a lot of six offensive linemen. Uh,

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>they have a tight end that was a defensive line

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 2>to start the season. They converted him to tight end.

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 2>He's like six five, three hundred and thirty pounds and

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 2>just crushes people nice. So they want to be physical,

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>they want to push you around. The key for me

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>on that is you've got to get up. If you

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 2>can get up seven ten points on them and make

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 2>them even a little bit more of a passing team,

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 2>then you're gonna save your defense some If this defense

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>is in a situation where Utahs up seven ten points,

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.039
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna run right at you four or five like

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>almost like a service academy. We're gonna run at you

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 2>four five, six yards of pop and you're not gonna

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 2>be able to do anything about it. So game flow

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 2>is super important here because if they're playing from behind,

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 2>you can make them uncomfortable. If they're playing from ahead

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.600
<v Speaker 2>in that environment with that crowd, the Bearcats are in

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 2>big trump.

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 3>In twin Peak, Junior named a semi finalist for the

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.479
<v Speaker 3>Thorpe Board this week, is the top defensive back in

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 3>the country. Chat for those unaware or maybe not in

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 3>full appreciation of his journey, just kind of deliver the

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.480
<v Speaker 3>cliff notes version of where I in Twin Peak Junior

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 3>was upon arrival and where he is now in this program.

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean a walk on, you know, probably a walk

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 2>on that gets some consideration because of how great his

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>dad was here and this isn't he had a great

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 2>high school career, but he didn't project as a starting

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 2>power for safety at any point in his career. Do

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 2>you think maybe a guy like that, you know, usually

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>what do they turn into, like a special teams captain,

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>a guy that you know helps you in the margins,

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>but maybe it isn't necessarily like a front line player.

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 2>It happened fast when he got here. You could see

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>immediately like he was going to be someone that they

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 2>relied on on special teams early in his career. And

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 2>then every time they kept putting him out there at safety,

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 2>he kept making play and kept making plays, and he

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 2>forced his way onto the field. And you got to

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>give the kid a ton of credit because that is

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 2>not an easy path to walk at this level, to

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 2>come in as a walk on, even with some of

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 2>those you know, advantages because of his dad, he has

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>earned it and he has put in the work and

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 2>he has you know, he's been one of those guys

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 2>walk on. He's like, you're trying to recruit over him, right,

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Like let's just be honest, like, all right, we like

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 2>this guy, but then he's a walk on. He's got

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.439
<v Speaker 2>that moniker. We need to go out, we need to

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 2>get a star. They can't get Anteline Peak off the field,

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 2>and he he is he is really with his physicality,

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.440
<v Speaker 2>his ability to help in the run, his ability to

0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 2>create turnovers. He's just had an outstanding career so far.

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 3>All Right, huge one Saturday, then the tip off to

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.079
<v Speaker 3>basketball on Monday. You guys have got it all covered

<v Speaker 3>find and how they can find it.

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 2>He can hands the great new feature every week that

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I really love that stock up stock down. He's putting

<v Speaker 2>a bunch of video in there now, breaking down plays,

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>letting fans know exactly why things went right, what went wrong,

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.320
