It's not how you start, 10 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: it's how you finish. And we saw that twice on 11 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: Friday night right here in the Queen City Elder Xavier 12 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: Division one Regional Final high school football playoff game at 13 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: pay Corpse Stadium. The game won by the Xavier Bombers 14 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: forty two to thirty four. Elder Milma Mater held a 15 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: twenty seven to seven lead in the first half in 16 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: this game, and then all of a sudden, a litany 17 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: of special teams problems reared their ugly head and the 18 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: Xavier Bombers outscore my Elder Panthers thirty five to seven. 19 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: The rest of the way, bad snap, punt block, more 20 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: bad snaps. It was a struggle in the second half 21 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: for the Elder Panthers as Saint X scores twenty one 22 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: unanswered points to win this game once again, forty two 23 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: to thirty four. And still Elder was driving at the 24 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: end of this game, got down to X's twenty five 25 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: yard line. But what a fourteen yard sack and then 26 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: an interception did the Mighty Panthers in. It's not how 27 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: you start, it's how you finish. Elder finished great against Princeton, 28 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: overcoming that twenty three to nothing lead. But man, hats 29 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: off to really both teams. I am so proud of 30 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: my alma mater, the Elder Panthers unbelievable season. They were 31 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: twelve to zero for the first time in school history. 32 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: They finished twelve and one in Good luck to the 33 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: Saint Savior Bombers, who collide next week in the final 34 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: four of the state tournament with the Middletown Middies. We 35 00:02:53,639 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: also saw the inability to finish the University of Cincinnati Bearcats. 36 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: You see against Louisville last night at the Heritage Bank Center. 37 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 1: The sixth rank Cardinals. Man, did they start slow? Wow. 38 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: Louisville misses its first ten shots from the floor. You 39 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: see piles up a double digit lead early in this game. 40 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: They hang on and they're ahead thirty two to twenty 41 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: eight at halftime, and then the mighty Louisville Cardinals take 42 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: control with a forty six to thirty two advantage in 43 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: the second half. Mike kel Brown, junior freshman point guard 44 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: for Louisville outstanding twenty two points in thirty one minutes. 45 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: But the guy who killed did you see Bearcats last night? 46 00:03:54,120 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: Former Xavier guard Ryan Conwell thirty four minutes. It's twenty 47 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: five points, eight of fifteen from the floor, five of 48 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: ten from the three point line. You see Freshman Sean 49 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: Abayev is going to be an outstanding player, but he 50 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: struggled last night trying to do too much twenty seven minutes, 51 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: twelve points, just four of sixteen from the floor, three 52 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: for eleven from three point range, one for three at 53 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: the foul line. Louisville killed U See in free throws 54 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: twenty four of twenty eight. Tough news for u See. 55 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: With Boba Miller going out the last ten minutes of 56 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: this game. He played twenty five minutes, had nine points, 57 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: but a hip injury and he just couldn't go. So 58 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: hopefully Baba Miller can get back and play effectively because 59 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: he is a tremendous talent. The one thing I really 60 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: liked about UC, you know, they played in stretches but 61 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: ran out of gas at the end. Nineteen assists on 62 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: twenty three made field goals, so that's a very positive sign. 63 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: I agree with Wes Miller. This could be a great team. 64 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: But man, they are a work in progress and they 65 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: have to be able to finish. But what a night 66 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: it was last night here in the Queen City with 67 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: Elder X, U See and the vill I was home 68 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: listening to the Elder X game and watching U See 69 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: in Louisville. How about you? Where were you last night? 70 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: I don't have any guest scheduled here in this power 71 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: hour of sports talk before you see and BYU.

It's five one, three, seven, four, nine, 74 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: seven thousand and one, eight hundred, the Big One. But 75 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: what an experience for the SEINEX and Elder students playing 76 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: in an NFL stadium, pay course stadium in front of 77 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: twenty two thousand plus fans, an experience that will last 78 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: and memories that will last a lifetime. And I always 79 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: like to say it when it comes to the Greater 80 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: Catholic League the GCL, we fight like hell in high 81 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: school and then we become BFFs, best friends forever. So 82 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: much respect on both sides of the U of the stadium, 83 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: no doubt, but the ability to finish. And that's what 84 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: we're looking for tonight from the UC Bearcats against BYU. 85 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: It's what we're looking for tomorrow when the Bengals face 86 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots at one o'clock at pay Corp Stadium. 87 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: And then it's what we're hoping to see from f 88 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: C when they collide with Lionel Messi and enter Miami 89 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: FC at five o'clock at TQL Stadium in the Eastern 90 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: Conference semifinals.

God, what a rivalry that goes back to 94 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: my childhood when both teams were in the greatest conference 95 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: in the land, the Missouri Valley conference, the first conference 96 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: in America that embraced the African American athlete. It was 97 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: the finest, the best, the greatest, most competitive conference in 98 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: the land.

Wow. Uh, 103 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: but what a weekend here in the Natty. Last night 104 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: Elder Saint X uc Louisville. Man, let's not waste any time. 105 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: Let's go out to the phones. We got Steve in 106 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: Columbus kicking us off here. 107 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 2: Hi Steve, Hey, Chick, how you doing. 108 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: Oh fantastic? 109 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,359 Speaker 3: Was at home and I was at home in Columbus 110 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 3: in my easy chair. 111 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 4: Uh. 112 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 3: For ten bucks, I got to stream the Elder Saint 113 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 3: X game and I DVR the U of L SINCI game. 114 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 3: So both of my teams lost last night. I was dying, 115 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: Uh watching the Elder sent a thorn in her side forever. 116 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 3: When the regional finals, it seems like, yeah, you know, 117 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: it's just. 118 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: So hard Yeah, it's just so hard to beat a 119 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: team twice, you know, in one season. So Elder got them, 120 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: you know, this year during the regular season on their 121 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: way to twelve and zero. But then in the playoffs, 122 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: you knew that Elder would have to face a sane 123 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: extra moler, you know, in the playoffs. 124 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 3: So it was so unusual for Elder to have two 125 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 3: I mean the long snapper. Basically, two snaps changed the 126 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 3: whole game. 127 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: It did, it actually did. 128 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 3: It's a shame. It's a shame for the kids. But AnyWho, 129 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 3: I'm on my way down seventy one now to see Bearcats. So, 130 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 3: oh gosh, I can win one of my teams win. 131 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: Oh fantastic, Steve Man, you're you're a guy after my heart. 132 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: And and how about tomorrow?

I gave up my 134 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 3: bagwell tickets about twenty years ago, after that fiasco in 135 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 3: fifteen with the Steelers. Oh gosh, yeah, with the personal 136 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 3: fouls that that was enough. Emotionally, I can't take them. 137 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 3: So now I do my Seaton tickets with the bear Cats. 138 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: All right, Steve, Hey, I appreciate appreciate it man, Thank 139 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: you go CAATs.

I was actually fortunate to 147 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 5: be a part of the last uh, you know, regional 148 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 5: final when they had the doubleheader with Princeton and Xavier 149 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 5: an Elder played Col Raene What was that like twenty 150 00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 5: years ago? 151 00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: Wow? 152 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 5: And we got to play at Paul Brown Stadium and 153 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 5: it was tremendous. There was, you know, thirty thousand people 154 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 5: watching you play high school football. So it was amazing 155 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 5: to watch it again and see twenty thousand people see 156 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 5: a GCL South rematched to decide who goes to play 157 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 5: for the final four. And as far as the Cats go, 158 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 5: it was very encouraging to see how the team. 159 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 3: It's mostly new players, you know, with the exception. 160 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 5: Of day there. I loved how they were playing defense, 161 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 5: closing out on shots, disrupting the passing lanes, and fighting 162 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 5: for rebounds. It was very very encouraging, especially playing against 163 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 5: the number of six team in the country and renewed 164 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 5: to rivalry. We need to play Louisville again. I miss 165 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 5: playing those guys in both sports. But I just really 166 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 5: enjoyed even though my team's lost last night, I really 167 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 5: enjoyed the sports.

You know, 189 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 4: the weather wasn't the best. And I'd like to know 190 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 4: the percentage of people just high school football fans. I mean, 191 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 4: obviously ninety nine percent might have been elder next, but 192 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 4: I know I saw plenty of people there that I'm 193 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 4: sure it was just to watch a great matchup, no. 194 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: Doubt, Mike. And when you know, when we heard that 195 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: the game was going to be at Mason and it sells, 196 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: you know, seven thousand seats within an hour, it just 197 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: it just made no sense for the OHSAA to send 198 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: that game originally to Mason, knowing that's how big it 199 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: was going to be. What was funny is I get 200 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: sent a reals video from Facebook about Dave Portnoy of 201 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: Bar School Sports here in Cincinnati. He stopped at Skyline, 202 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: he said, for the first time, and he's he's eating 203 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: a three way, you know, outside he's punishing that. But 204 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: he said he's in town for an epic high school 205 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: game Elder against Saint Francis, That's. 206 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 3: What he said. 207 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: So but he got that, and uh, you know they 208 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: were at he was he was at Nippert against today 209 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: and uh last night he was wearing an Elder sweatshirt. 210 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: I was digging that, so uh but yeah, he got 211 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: it straight with Saint Axe and uh, but it was 212 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: awesome having dave Port and orient Town here from Barstool Sports. 213 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 4: Well, and I'm sure probably Bill Hemmerill mentioned again on 214 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 4: Monday on his broadcast, but as the previous caller just said, 215 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 4: if nothing else can really drill the point home the 216 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 4: importance of a long snapper, that was just a shame 217 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 4: because the points they put up. And actually, when I 218 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 4: told my brother, who's class eighty two that was with me, 219 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 4: after Elder intercepted that pass and they had the ball 220 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 4: up twenty seven to seven, I said, if we score now, 221 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 4: this game could be over even in the first half. 222 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 4: And then obviously what happened fourteen points, fourteen points before 223 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 4: we blink an eye. 224 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: That's right, and then Elder scores uh really right away 225 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: in the third quarter to go up thirteen. And but 226 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: you just had a queasy feeling when they missed them. 227 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know the first extra point, you know, 228 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: and it was set six to nothing. But nevertheless, at 229 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: what a night, an incredible season. And I want to 230 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: congratulate my classmate Bruce Brosterman, whose grandson plays for Saint X. 231 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: Bruce a tremendous leader for Elder class of seventy two 232 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: on the board of directors.

We're gonna listen and we're gonna watch, and 346 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: I'm expecting a huge U see victory tonight Senior Night, 347 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: nip It Night. No better atmosphere in all of America 348 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: than Nippert Stadium and the University of Cincinnati. Well, the 349 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: talk all week here in Cincinnati regarding the Bengals. Will 350 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow play? It's all I heard about all week. Well, 351 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: the answer is no. NFL insider Ian Rapaport reported it, 352 00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: and the team released a statement saying that Joe Burrow, 353 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback of the Bengals, will be inactive tomorrow against 354 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: New England. He's on the injured reserve list. He will 355 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: not be activated off that for tomorrow's game. He was 356 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: listed as questionable, So he's going to miss the contest 357 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: and Joe Flacco will start. And it seems like just 358 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: yesterday Joe Flacco became a Bengal in the trade with 359 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. It's already his sixth game tomorrow, and 360 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 1: I really don't have any problem with Burrow sitting tomorrow 361 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: or standing on the sidelines, hopefully because there's a quick turnaround. 362 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: The Bengals play at Baltimore M and T. Banks Stadium 363 00:25:53,400 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: against the Ravens on Thanksgiving Night. The Angles have lost 364 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: seven of eight there. The defense is in is last 365 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 1: in yards and points allowed per game. But Joe Flacco 366 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: outside of last week and you know, it was a stinker, 367 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: no doubt against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he's still thrown 368 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: for one and fifty three yards, twelve touchdowns and three interceptions. 369 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: The bomber is Jamar Chase is out suspended for a 370 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: game because of the spitting incident last week against Jalen 371 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: Ramsey and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers do it again. 372 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: They get under your skin, they push you over the 373 00:26:53,600 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: edge emotionally. We see it all the time. They try 374 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: to hurt you physically. They're dirty, but they win. And 375 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: they're six and four. The Pittsburgh Steelers are atop the 376 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: AFC North Baltimore's at five and five. The Bengals are 377 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: three and seven. Can the Bengals show some history and 378 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: turn it on again like they have the last few 379 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: years the second half of the season. We're going to 380 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: find out tomorrow against a team that's won eight straight, 381 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: the nine and two New England Patriots, who are having 382 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: an incredible season. I don't care if their record is 383 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: or their schedule is softer. It's the National Football League 384 00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: and it's tough to win in the NFL.

I've never been a 502 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: fan of the three three five defense. I want four 503 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: down linemen. If you crease a defensive end and a 504 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: guard kicks out and blocks a linebacker, man, it's just 505 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: automatic four five six yards a rush. That's what bothers 506 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: me about UC's defense. And on third and eight, you 507 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: can't give a guy a fifteen yard cushion, which we've seen. 508 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: Freshman quarterback for BYU bear Bachmeyer, he's swing for two 509 00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: thousand and seventy seven yards, thirteen touchdowns, and he's he's 510 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: got four hundred and seventy nine rushing yards. He's one 511 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: of three FBS quarterbacks with at least twenty one hundred 512 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: passing yards, ten rushing touchdowns in four or fewer interceptions. 513 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: BYU leads the Big twelve with fourteen interceptions, and they're 514 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: among the leaders with twenty five sacks, so BYU nine 515 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,240 Speaker 1: and one overall, six and one in the Big twelve. 516 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: U se at seven and three and five and two 517 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: eleventh rank Cougars are in town, and I'm excited for 518 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: the UC Bearcats. What a great opportunity here to bounce 519 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: back from the Arizona game, and the Bearcats are going 520 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: to need a big game from their quarterback, Brendan Soresby. 521 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: He's completing sixty percent of his passes that should be 522 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 1: higher one point fifty nine of two sixty five. He 523 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: has thrown for twenty two hundred and eighteen yards, twenty 524 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 1: two touchdowns and four interceptions. So this is a great 525 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: matchup tonight. And like I mentioned, six teams in the 526 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 1: Big Twelve are within one game of each other BYU 527 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,760 Speaker 1: six and one in the conference. You see at five 528 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: and two in the conference. But it is awesome having 529 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: Senior Night. You've got to give it up for the 530 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: twenty two seniors, including three time team captains Gavin Gerhard 531 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: from Xenior High School and Dante Corleone, the Godfather. Looking 532 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: to bounce back from last Saturday's thirty to twenty four 533 00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: loss to the Arizona Wildcats. Tawie Walker strong runner, but 534 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 1: Cincinnati hopes to get back its two most explosive offensive weapons, 535 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 1: running back Evan Pryor seven point two yards per carry 536 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: third in the Big Twelve, and wide receiver Caleb Goodie 537 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: nineteen yards per catch. How about that priors missed the 538 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: last two games. Goodie was injured prior to the Arizona contest. 539 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 1: But Cincinnati here has a great opportunity to play spoiler 540 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: and keep its Big Twelve Conference championship game hopes alive. 541 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: Although there's slim against the BYU. Cougar's team tied for 542 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: first in the Big Twelve with that six and one 543 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: league mark at five and two, Ucs tied for third 544 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 1: place with Houston, Utah and Zona State. So Brendan Sowersby 545 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: needs a big game. Hopefully he's all right after getting 546 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: nicked up last week against Arizona. Wasn't effective running the ball, 547 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: So looking forward to the coverage here that starts just 548 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 1: within minutes with Dan Horde, Tony Pike, and Moeger And 549 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: no show would be complete without a little bit of 550 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: this date in Red's history, but we're gonna make it 551 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:37,760 Speaker 1: this week in Red's history.
