00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: Very pleasant, good evening, everybody. Greetings from the original montgomery In,

00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: home of the world's greatest ribs. Welcome to the Scott

3
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: Satderfield Radio Show. I'm Dan Horde, along with the head

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: coach of the twenty first ranked tied for first place

5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve uce Bearcats. Let's here for Scott Saderfield.

6
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: As you can tell by the noise in the background,

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: we have a tremendous crowd tonight here at the original

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: montgomery In. We greatly appreciate it. Many of the people

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: in attendance were in attendance on Sunday at Jim Kelly's

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: visitation or at his funeral service yesterday. I told Jim's

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: wife Sarah on Sunday that the crowd for his visitation

12
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: was bigger than five of the bowl games that we

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: did together. So that's how many people came out to

14
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: pay tribute to Jim. The service yesterday was beautiful. Jim's sons,

15
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: Kevin and Brian did a wonderful job of paying tribute

16
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: to your to their dad and coach. I just want

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: to thank you in the football program for the fantastic

18
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: helmet sticker that you guys will wear for the rest

19
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: of this year. For anybody that hasn't seen it yet,

20
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: it's the number seven inside of a microphone. So Jim

21
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: wore the number seven as a wide receiver at Cincinnati

22
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: and obviously was behind the mic for more than three decades.

23
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: So it was a really nice touch.

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I mean, you know what that's it's I

25
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: mentioned this earlier.

26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: You know, Jeremiah Kelly.

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: You know, we're wearing a remembrance for him as well,

28
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: and our guys wanted to to wear the shirt. We're

29
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: wearing his shirt every game day, and so our whole

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: team puts that shirt on and remembrance of him and

31
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: of course Jim number seven with the microphones a great tribute.

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: To him, and I want to honor him the rest

33
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: of the season.

34
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: You know, he loved by everybody, and you know, like

35
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: I said, I mean, he's a very through and through

36
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: and I'm glad you know we're playing like we are

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: right now. That's what I told his family on Sunday

38
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: when I went by there too. And I know he's

39
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: looking down as proud right.

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: Now, no doubt about it. I suspected Jim Senior and

41
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: Jim Junior talking about the Bearcats being twenty first in

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: the country. Looking ahead to the upcoming of five games

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: left in the regular season and the goal of getting

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: to Dallas and playing for a Big twelve championship. Got

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: a big game coming up on Saturday. It's homecoming in

46
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: different stadium, a four o'clock kickoff against Baylor. I was

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: on a Baylor show today and the host asked me,

48
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: if you were Dave Randa, the Baylor coach, you know

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: what weaknesses do the offense have that the defense should

50
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: be exploiting. And I said, I really don't know, to

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: tell you the truth. You have done a fantastic job

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: of putting together an offense this year that can really

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: attack just about any defense that you see.

54
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we've been a very efficient offense.

55
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: I mean the negative for us this year probably is

56
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: just not having the ball. I mean, you know, we're

57
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: toward the bottom of the really the country in time

58
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: of possession and number of players that are run.

59
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: But part of that is the fact that we are

60
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: scoring fast.

61
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: You know, we're moving the football and just like last game,

62
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: we had the ball four possessions in the first half.

63
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: That's not very many, but when you're scoring touchdowns and

64
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: all four possesions. That's twenty eight points, so I mean,

65
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: obviously we'll take that.

66
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: You know. And I think, you know, I think we

67
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: get sometimes.

68
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: I think all of us get a little frustrated when

69
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 2: we don't go score because we think we're going to

70
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: go score. You know, it came out in a third

71
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: quarter and we went three and nut, and I'm like, man,

72
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: what the world's going on?

73
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: You know?

74
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: You know, I think we get a little s falled.

75
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: I think, you know, coaches and players too. But that

76
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: is a good thing. I mean, we were very efficient.

77
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: I was talking to someone today about how it's maybe

78
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: my the first time that in my career that we've

79
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: had so many players that we don't mind if any

80
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: of them get the ball. You know, I think usually

81
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: over over time you have there's always been you know,

82
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: maybe one running back or a couple of wide receivers

83
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: that hey, we really need to get the ball to

84
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: these guys. We really haven't thought that way. We really

85
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: really didn't care who gets the ball.

86
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 4: You know.

87
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: One of the great examples was Cyrus Allen had one

88
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: catch two weeks ago, and then he gets three touchdowns

89
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: this week. I mean, you look up, Noah's catching the

90
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: ball or Jeff Carwell's catching the ball, like it really

91
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: doesn't matter.

92
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: You got two running backs that are very effective when

93
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: they're in the game. You know, our tight end room

94
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: is an exceptional tight end room.

95
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: I mean, Joe had I don't know, five catches I

96
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: think in a touchdown, you know, in the game Saturday.

97
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 2: So I mean, we just have so many weapons and

98
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 2: then it all starts, and you guys know it starts

99
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: up front. I mean, our offensive line is playing out

100
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: standing this season. They're giving uh, you know, Brendan a

101
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: lot of time to throw the football and they're opened

102
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: up some great holes running it, so you know it's running.

103
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 3: It's very efficient.

104
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: I would say the offensive line gave up one sack

105
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: this past week, doubling their season total. They have all

106
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: two in seven games. Had the opportunity to visit with

107
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: Joe Cotton earlier today, your left tackle, and he was like,

108
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: in the huddle, they were just crestfalling. Ah, we gave

109
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: up a sack, which is a wonderful thing when you're

110
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: playing at such a high level that allowing one is

111
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: considered heartbreaking.

112
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and that was Brendan. I was on him.

113
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: What he went on the old line.

114
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 2: I mean, he'll he'll be the first to tell you

115
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: we had a play call and he got stuck on one

116
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: of the receivers, but the primary receiver. Actually it was

117
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: the first touchdown pass to Cyrus Allen. It's basically the

118
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: same play and Cyrus is opened again. You know, he

119
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: just didn't come down quick enough. But that happens. I mean,

120
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: Brenda's gotten us out of a lot of opportunities for

121
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: sacks where he's throwing the ball away or you know,

122
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: got rid of the football early or scrambled, you know,

123
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 2: and so that but that particularly one, you know, we

124
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: didn't overcome that, but I do think the next play

125
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: we were able to get a first down. You know,

126
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: even though we lost yards on that play, we got

127
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: a first down. So we did overcome that sack and

128
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: then ultimately went down and scored again. So they take

129
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 2: a lot of pride in it. I remember in a

130
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: game when it happened, Coach car Walls and somebody he said,

131
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, a sack. You know, he was hurt bad,

132
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: which you know, and so were the guys. I mean,

133
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: they take a lot of pride in that because they

134
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: want to be the best you know, and and right

135
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 2: now they're getting talked about like they're one of the

136
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: best offensive lines in the country, rightfully, so, so it

137
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: really pains them when when they give up a play

138
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: like that.

139
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: I thought Joe Flacco threw some good passes on Thursday night,

140
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: and then I saw the one that Sores be through

141
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: to begin the fourth quarter on third down and sixteen.

142
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: I haven't seen many throws better than that in my life.

143
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: That was an incredible throw that play, because you're right,

144
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: it was. That was the start of the fourth quarter.

145
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: So we had time so you know, TV timehouse last forever.

146
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: So we're sitting there about four minutes and talking about,

147
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: all right, what do we want to run on this

148
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: third and long play.

149
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: It's hard to pick up third and eighteen.

150
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of thoughts that were going through

151
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 2: our heads.

152
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: You know.

153
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: The play we had called was a was a three by.

154
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 2: One play, was a dig route to the field, about

155
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 2: a fifteen yard dig. We thought that could pick picked

156
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: it up and they're like, well what if they play man, Well, well,

157
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: just want to double move on the single side, which

158
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: was Jeff Calwell, well, they came out and played cover two,

159
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: which cover two normally you'd hit that dig route. Soresby

160
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: just happened to look over there to callwell, he said,

161
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: I saw some grass.

162
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 3: There wasn't a whole lot of grass, quite honestly.

163
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: There there was about four defenders and he kind of

164
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 2: thread the needle right in between all four and Jeff

165
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: being six to five, you know, did a great job

166
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: of going up and getting that and getting a huge play.

167
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: That was a point in the game too, where momentum

168
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: was shifting. The crowd was into it, their players were

169
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: on their side, it was into it, and that just

170
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: hushed them once we got that, and then we ultimately

171
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 2: went and scored again.

172
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: Thirty eight yard gain on third down and sixteen and

173
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: an absolutely gorgeous throw to Jeff Caldwell. We don't have

174
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: to talk about not having any interceptions anymore. Matthew McDoom

175
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: with a pick and a school record a one hundred

176
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: yard a run back for a touchdown. The old school

177
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: record was ninety six yards by Bob del Rosa in

178
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty eight. Oddly enough, also against Oklahoma State, which

179
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: is pretty incredible. But we saw Matthew mczoom think that

180
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: pick back one hundred yards.

181
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was We've been talking about this all year.

182
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: Can we get an interception, you know, and then challenging

183
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: the guys every single week and also trying to get

184
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: a touchdown outside of offense, you know, offensive touchdown, you know.

185
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: So this is our first touchdown that we had by

186
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: the defense and to our special team.

187
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: So that was exciting as well.

188
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: With the interception, great job our guys getting some blocks

189
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: there and once he hit the.

190
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: Sideline, we knew he was going. He's one of the

191
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 3: faster players we have on our football team.

192
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: And you know, hopefully that that just you know, that

193
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: burst the bubble so we can get a lot more

194
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: of these interceptions.

195
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: All right. One negative, you gave up more than two

196
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards for the first time this season. And

197
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: I think it's either three straight or four straight games

198
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: where you've given up one fifty plus. If there's something

199
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: that you have to shore up on defense, that would

200
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: seem to me to be at the top of the list.

201
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, And we go went back and looked

202
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: at the film. There's about four plays where they got

203
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 2: loose on us. Then one of them went for forty

204
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: one yards on they cracked the safety in our corners

205
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: got a replace right there. We didn't replace fast enough

206
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: and they hit the sideline on that one. There was

207
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: a couple of up up the middle where we've got

208
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: to spill it. You know, we played on the wrong

209
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: side and they hit it up the middle. I mean

210
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: that was just some bad fits. And yeah, we got

211
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: to sure that up. I mean certainly. You know, even

212
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 2: though we're playing a passing two this week, they want

213
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: to run the football. They feel like they're you know,

214
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: coach Randa came on this week and said, hey, we

215
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: feel we're our best when we can run as well

216
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 2: as throw, and so we have to make sure they

217
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: have some good running backs. We have to make sure

218
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: we can sure up the running game for sure. And

219
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 2: it's all about fits and then where we're supposed to

220
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: be and then getting a lot of hats to the football.

221
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: Their quarterback, Sawyer Robertson, leads the nation in passing yards.

222
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: He's typed for first and touchdown passes. What impresses you

223
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: about him, Well.

224
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's you know, he's a guy who

225
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: came in transferred in i think for Mississippi State, and

226
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 2: you know, didn't play right away, but then once he

227
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: got the starting role, there really just took off and

228
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: they won their last six games last year to finish

229
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 2: the season, all conference games obviously, and did a nice job.

230
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: And this year and they're scoring a lot of points.

231
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: You know, the record I think is four and three,

232
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: but they're scoring a lot of points. If the games

233
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: they have lost or are really really close there, they're

234
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: one possession games. He's a big kid, he's six or five.

235
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: He's not a runner.

236
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 3: You know.

237
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: The last two weeks, you guys know, we've played two

238
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: running quarterbacks that can can go get extend plays, but

239
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: he's really not that.

240
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: He's more of a sit in the pocket and make

241
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: the throws. He's got some dynamic.

242
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 2: Weapons on the outside of number thirty four is a

243
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: six three, two hundred and twenty pound wide receiver that

244
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: can really run. They have one of the best catching

245
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: tight ends in the country, number one, I think Michael

246
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: Triggs his name, and he's a two hundred and forty pound.

247
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: Guy that can run.

248
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: And then they got a couple of little slot guys

249
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 2: that can fly. So they're gonna put a lot of

250
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: pressure on our defensive backs with the way they can

251
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: throw the football. You know, we certainly have to do

252
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: some things to try to slow that down, and you know,

253
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: knock on them. This year they have turned the ball over,

254
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 2: you know, so again we have to be able to

255
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: you know, create turnovers and and or get stops on

256
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: fourth down. I mean, I think that's gonna be critical

257
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: as we play this team. They're gonna get some yards,

258
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 2: They're gonna get some chunk plays. I mean, that's gonna happen.

259
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 2: The big thing we have to try to do is

260
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: keep them out of the end zone, you know. But again,

261
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: they have scored a lot of points. I mean, one

262
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: of the higher scoring teams in our league.

263
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: So the Bearcats and Bears Saturday at four o'clock or

264
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: pregame cover Gun Saturday will start at three o'clock. We're

265
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: going to take a time out when we come back.

266
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: Question from the audience here at the original Montgomery In

267
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: home of the world's greatest Ribs. It's the Scott Sanderfield

268
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: Radio Show on seven hundred WLW. Throw crossing route caught

269
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: Cyrus Allen.

270
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 5: Ten five touchdown Bearcats twenty six Cyrus Allen.

271
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: That was the first of his three touchdowns and they

272
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: were all different. That was on a crossing route. Then

273
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: there was one on an option pitch where he came

274
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: behind Brendan Soresby, caught the ball as a running back

275
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: essentially and scored and then going in motion for a

276
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: pass close to the line of scrimmage and running in

277
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: for his third touchdown of the game. We are at

278
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: the original Montgomery In home of the world's greatest ribs

279
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: for the Scott Saderfield Radio Show. We'll be back here

280
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, by the way, for the first Wes Miller

281
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: show of this season. So we talk about the Bearcats

282
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: after that exciting victory over starting my thoughts exactly, we'll

283
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: be talking about the exciting exhibition when they had over

284
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: Michigan on Friday. All right, Brian, you're up first with

285
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: a question for the coach.

286
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 6: Coach, you've talked about the amount of weapons you have

287
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 6: and how it's one guy one week, it's another guy

288
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 6: next week. What does that do for the playbook knowing

289
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 6: that you have so many different players that can do

290
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 6: so many different things.

291
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: On every play, Like, how big can the playbook get?

292
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't want to get it too big, you know.

293
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: I think the one thing about our guys right now

294
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: are playing at a high level.

295
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: They're playing fast, because it's not extensive.

296
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 2: I think the plays that we have run the best

297
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: are the plays that we run every week, you know,

298
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: so there's a lot of similar plays that we run

299
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 2: each and every week, and.

300
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: We've had great success on those plays.

301
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of the stuff that we are

302
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: doing now that's a little bit different than last year.

303
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: Obviously we're going faster, no huddle, a little bit higher

304
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: tempo and higher pace, but more of the run pass

305
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: option plays, and so we can want to play and

306
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: it may look completely different four straight times you run it.

307
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: You know, one may be a handoff, one maybe a

308
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: quarterback poll and he's running it, or there may be

309
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: three receivers that we can hit in that same plate.

310
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: So a lot of the plays are very very similar

311
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: in the same that we're running. I think that's why

312
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: we were playing at a very efficient level.

313
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 7: Gary, Yeah, coach, you're talking about all the rushing.

314
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: Yards of people are getting.

315
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 3: Against us on the three five three.

316
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 8: It seems like most teams I see to play that

317
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 8: one of the five will become a fourth down or

318
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 8: a rusher or whatever. But seems like we sit back

319
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 8: and to me, it gives up three, four five yards

320
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 8: before our guys were able to come up and get it.

321
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, you're right.

322
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 2: There's certain probably just our base defense where our guys

323
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 2: are off probably seven or eight yards and by the

324
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: time running back gets it, it's coming up. You know,

325
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 2: now he's already got two or three yards on that,

326
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: especially if we're in a especially if it's a first

327
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: and tent where you know, you're maybe back at a

328
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: normal position. Obviously, when it's a short yardage, everything gets

329
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: tightened down, you know, and then now.

330
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: You're you're right there to be able to stop that.

331
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 3: You know. It's it's a.

332
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: Fine line there between not wanting to give up a

333
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: big play as opposed to you know, giving up a

334
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: yard or two yards. I mean, and I think, you know,

335
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: and then it's all all about what defense you're into,

336
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: you know. So it's at times we got to switch

337
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: it up and bring more guys. I think this year

338
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: we have done more for down where we take a

339
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: player and we walk him on the edge of the defense.

340
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: We've done more of that than we did last year,

341
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: and I think that's a good thing. I think we've

342
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: got to be able to continue to do that and

343
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: then and to mix up the coverages as well, because

344
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: these teams nowadays with with the run pass option, you know,

345
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: if you do bring them all up, there's an opportunity

346
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: for that quarterback to pull it and throw it back

347
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: behind you. And so that's just a balance that we're

348
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: trying to trying to get better at.

349
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: Obviously.

350
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 9: Okay, hey, coach coach Shaven talks about the rat poison.

351
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 9: If you start to get a little more notoriety, how

352
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 9: real is that and how do you keep the guys grounded?

353
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I just think it's human nature.

354
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: Anytime you have success that you know, people are all

355
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: patting on your back and and telling you.

356
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: How good you are and all that.

357
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: I mean, uh, we've got we've got a very mature team.

358
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: You know, this team I feel like every time to

359
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: go on the field is trying to prove something, prove

360
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: that they belong.

361
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: I think, you know, we're not too far removed from

362
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: not having success.

363
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: I think we got a lot of players that went

364
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: through that that that is not forgotten and and like

365
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: you know, for us, you know, just like last week

366
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: going to going to Oklahoma State, I mean, there's a

367
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: lot of guys on our team that went through that

368
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: that game two years ago. It's a bad feeling, you know,

369
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: and I think the guys that did that express that

370
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: to the rest of the guys that.

371
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 3: Were not here and made that clear. You know.

372
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: And this team here, I mean I remember playing this

373
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: these this team two years ago have been different and

374
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: now we're playing them again, and you know, we got

375
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: a different team, we got a different mindset, and you know.

376
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 3: We were playing with a chip on our shoulder. And

377
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 3: I don't think we're gonna lose that.

378
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 2: I think these guys are trying to prove something every

379
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: day and it was that way at practice today.

380
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 10: Jeff Hey, sad Hey doing question for you. Well, by

381
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 10: the way, congratulations and going bowling. Very excited about that.

382
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 10: But how is the Godfather doing this? He gonna be

383
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 10: able to go full full war here pretty soon or

384
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 10: where's he at?

385
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

386
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he's still battling the injury. Obviously, he's

387
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: good to get him back out there. He's but he's

388
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent yet. But I think he is

389
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: getting better. You know, certainly Saturday night was not at

390
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: his best. His presence is great, you know for our

391
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: guys and then and to see him out there. I

392
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: do think each and every day. He's gonna get better

393
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: and better, and hopefully, you know, he's gonna be more

394
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: closer to one hundred percent this weekend, you know, because

395
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: when he is, he's hard to block, you know, and

396
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: I think obviously he's a weapon for us, and you know,

397
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: he's missed some games he hadn't been one hundred percent.

398
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: So you know what the good thing about is right now,

399
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: the other guys have had to step in and make plays,

400
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: and I think we've been able to see that, which

401
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: is getting them valuable experience. So that's a good thing.

402
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: That's a positive, you know. But hopefully as we get

403
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: to this stretch here, with these next five games, we'll

404
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: get a lot better with Dante.

405
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: All Right, phillisays her hand up, John gets her the mic.

406
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 11: Coach, What was the most pleasantly surprising.

407
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: To you besides the win for this past week? Yes, oh, man,

408
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: pleasantly surprised.

409
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm surprised about anything this weekend. I mean,

410
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 2: you know the fact that we only had the ball

411
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: four times, but we scored you know, four touchdowns. That

412
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: was that was really good. I mean, I don't know

413
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: if I've been a part of that. Usually if you

414
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: only get the ball four times. Usually you're playing an

415
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: option team, you know, who occupies the ball. You don't

416
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: get you get eight possessions in a game to only

417
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 2: have it four times. But the fact that we are

418
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: scoring touchdowns with, you know, with the limited opportunities, I

419
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: think that's certainly.

420
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 3: A good thing.

421
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: I keep waiting for one of these games where we

422
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: do have a lot of a lot of time possession,

423
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: we do have a lot more opportunities, you know, as

424
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 2: we continue to move along, you know, that's something that

425
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: that will be. That would be a pleasant surprise if

426
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: we could get that.

427
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 3: For sure.

428
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: I thought the most pleasant surprise might have been the

429
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: first time you'd ever seen a banana conga line.

430
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 3: You did take a little glance up there and saw

431
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 3: that during the game. That's pretty interesting, all.

432
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: Right, Next question, coach.

433
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 12: Something that is cool about college football and the changing

434
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 12: landscape is obviously the pageantry and passion of college football fans.

435
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 12: The Big Twelve has a ton of awesome fans. There's

436
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 12: always a little bit of conflict that goes on. We

437
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 12: want to know what your thoughts are on the tortillas

438
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 12: being banned at Texas Tech.

439
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm in favor of that haven't played there

440
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: last year, and uh, you know, several of them are

441
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: almost hitting you on the field.

442
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 3: They're hitting the referees, they're hitting our players.

443
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 2: I realized it's a great It was a tradition for them,

444
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: and they were having some fun with it. But obviously

445
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: they took it a little bit too far, I think,

446
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, it's everybody's got their little thing

447
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: they do, but I think when you're throwing things and

448
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: actually hitting people that that is taking a little bit

449
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 2: too far.

450
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 3: So I'm actually glad they're bannon it quite honestly, Bob.

451
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: See.

452
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 4: I think I saw on the internet that someone in

453
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 4: this room is on the Coach Bear Bryant Coach of

454
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: the Year watch list.

455
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: Congratulations.

456
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 4: But I was I was pleased with the play of

457
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 4: our secondary because I think some of those sacks and

458
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 4: some of the problems are actually caused by our coverage

459
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 4: being so tight.

460
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: And I'm loving that.

461
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I think you know, certainly as we

462
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: go along, these guys have gotten better at it, you know,

463
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: and and some big opportunities and big plays when we

464
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: need those big plays, and and this certainly this weekend

465
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 2: is going to be a huge challenge for our guys

466
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: on the back end, as I mentioned earlier, with these

467
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: talented receivers they have, and you know, one of the

468
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: best passing team in the country you're coming in here.

469
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: So it's we're looking forward to the challenge and the

470
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: opportunity to play a team like this, and we're very

471
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: excited about it.

472
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: All right, any more audience questions? Okay, Amy, I.

473
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 6: Just noticed every third quarter we're like a sleep What.

474
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 11: Can you do to wake us up?

475
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: Oh?

476
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 13: Man?

477
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: We ask ourselves that every day in the office. You know,

478
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 2: I don't I don't get it, don't understand, but I mean,

479
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: you know, like I said, we scored four straight possessions

480
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: in the first half.

481
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 3: We come out in the second half and we go

482
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 3: three and out, Like what in the world happened right there?

483
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes the defense wins, you know, and they did.

484
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 2: I mean, we had I thought we had some good

485
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: calls in there, and they came out with a little

486
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: bit of a different defense and they just didn't match

487
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 2: up and it didn't work.

488
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 3: Against those particular calls.

489
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 2: That's unfortunate at times, but you know, we're able to

490
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: bounce back and go out there and score some more

491
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: and move the ball.

492
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 3: But that's the cat and mouse game that goes on.

493
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 3: You know.

494
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: Obviously you love to score every time you get the

495
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: ball and be able to move it. It just doesn't

496
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: happen that way. There's good coaches on the other sideline.

497
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: They've had good, good players as well. Uh, you know,

498
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: and then you're just playing that little cat and mouse game,

499
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 2: and then ultimately you have to execute, you know, and

500
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: and so that's a challenge.

501
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 3: But you're right, I mean, the third quarter has been.

502
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: A little I thought this time would be a little

503
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: different because the last two weeks they got the ball

504
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: first coming out, so this time we got the balls.

505
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: All right, Yes, we're gonna get the ball and come

506
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 2: out and do some great stuff. And we go three

507
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: and out really quickly.

508
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 3: So that was not that that didn't work out like

509
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 3: we wanted it, all.

510
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: Right, any more audience questions, Okay on this side, John

511
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: John Daniel getting an excellent workout tonight.

512
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 14: Former high school coach, just asking about special team.

513
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: Seems to be a little better this year, yea, in

514
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: terms of where I plays in the talk about a

515
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: little bit.

516
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's been i'll say a lot better.

517
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 2: Quite honestly and went in the field of position battles.

518
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: You know, Max, our punter is done an unbelievable job.

519
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 2: I don't have the stats in front of me, but

520
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: how many I mean probably a little over half of

521
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 2: his balls. He's kicked an inside the twenty yard line,

522
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 2: which is pinning these teams back, which is incredible.

523
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 3: They have to drive the whole field.

524
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: You know, Steven's knocked down all our field goals, which

525
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 2: is unbelievable, which is huge man in this and then

526
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: in the way the margins are so tight in this league.

527
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: I mean that is absolutely essential to get knocked down

528
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: those field goals. And our guys are covering like I mean,

529
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 2: Kwava made a tackle I think on a twelve yard

530
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: line or inside the fifteen yard line covering the kickoff

531
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: in this game last game.

532
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: You know, our guys were taking a lot of pride

533
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: in it. I think it were really close.

534
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 2: In a punt return, I mean many Covey had the

535
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: punt return against Kansas, they call it back. I think

536
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: we're really close to breaking one of those. We've had

537
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: some really good kickoff returns Logan Wilson, some of those

538
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 2: guys getting some good blocks We've got a couple of

539
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: tight ends here tonight that were on that kickoff return team,

540
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: so you get the guys to get to talk to them.

541
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 3: But really excited about our teams.

542
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 2: I still think we can get better with the special teams,

543
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: and I think as we continue to move on through this,

544
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: this last of these last five games, we have to

545
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: do that.

546
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: All right, let's squeeze in one more question.

547
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 15: Jim Kelly's family here and this is the niece's nephew brother,

548
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 15: and I'm a sister in law. If Jim were here,

549
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 15: what would be a one liner he'd use for this

550
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 15: Baylor upcoming game?

551
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 3: What would you say?

552
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 15: Or maybe whatbody screamed during the game?

553
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: Well, you know he was fond of the word yes,

554
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: with multiple exclamation points stated multiple times. Meg Ryan's style

555
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: from when Harry met Sally, So that might it might

556
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: be it. There might be some yes, yes, yes. After

557
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: a few Brendan soarsby touchdown passes. All right, we'll take

558
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: a time out. We will meet a far of Bearcat

559
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: when we come back. This is the Scott Saderfield Radio Show,

560
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: live from the original Montgomery in help of the world's

561
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: Greatest Ribs on News Radio seven hundred WLW eight fifty

562
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: one left in the half, Cincinnati looking to add to

563
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: a four point lead. Fourteen to ten is the score,

564
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: Sores being the gun sends three receivers out to the

565
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: wide side. Right quick pass caught by Royer makes the

566
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: first man miss.

567
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 5: He's at the ten for five touchdown. Bearcats unappropriate highlight

568
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 5: to feature coming out of the commercial break because we

569
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 5: have two Bearcat tight ends joining us on the Scott

570
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 5: Saderfield Show tonight, and I'm delighted to introduce.

571
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: Them to you. We'll start with the person directly to

572
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: my right. He is a sophomore from Lewis Center, Ohio

573
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: that is near Columbus. He wears the number eighty seven,

574
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: let's hear it for Bearcat tight end Gavin Grover. And

575
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: next to Gavin, we have a red shirt freshman from Berea,

576
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: Ohio that is near Cleveland. He wears the number eighty three,

577
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: Devon Zaharski. We just heard at Joe Royer highlight. Dudes

578
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: having a phenomenal year. He's obviously going to be an

579
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: NFL player. What have you guys learned from being in

580
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: a room and practicing with Joe Royer? Gavin, you go first.

581
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 16: I have just learned how to carry myself better. You know,

582
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 16: he's a good dude. He's cool with everybody around the facility.

583
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 16: I mean he works hard, whether it's the weight room

584
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 16: or the field. So it's been cool to see how

585
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 16: he carries himself at elite level, almostly a pro, and

586
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 16: kind of like try to follow in his footsteps, Devin.

587
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 17: I mean, Joe's a really good player, man. I mean

588
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 17: you said it here yourself. Things he does off the field,

589
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 17: like him being a leader, him him showing us us

590
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 17: young guys like what to do. I mean, that's a

591
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 17: huge part for us.

592
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: But yeah, and you guys have added another veteran to

593
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: the room this year, and Patrick gurd who was part

594
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: of a national championship team last year at Ohio State.

595
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: Obviously he's primarily used it as a blocker at UC.

596
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: But how about what you've learned from observing him, Devian,

597
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: you can start first this.

598
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 17: I mean as a blocker myself. I mean, he knows

599
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 17: his stuff. He's very smarter on the playbook. He knows

600
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 17: where to block, how to block, how to position block,

601
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 17: and all this. So just taking stuff that he shows

602
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 17: and using it for myself is just I mean, it's

603
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 17: really important me personally.

604
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 16: He's talked to me a lot about like mindset, like

605
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 16: not getting down on myself after like a bad play

606
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 16: because I'm strutting with like mentally like having a bad play,

607
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 16: getting upset, But like he's really helped me like see,

608
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 16: like it's not the end of the world. You just

609
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 16: got to move on to the next plan and keep going.

610
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 16: And having that those both those guys as a mature

611
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 16: veteran presence has really been helpful for.

612
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 13: Us going into our second years.

613
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned you got you're both Ohio kids. Explain how

614
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: you wound up at Cincinnati, Gavin, you go first.

615
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 13: Honestly, I've always wanted to be close home. Big family guy.

616
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 16: I have a big family of two brothers and a sister,

617
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 16: So I've always wanted to be near them and their

618
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 16: families now as they've gotten older, and Cincinnati was one

619
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 16: of the places didn't really think of. Like I was

620
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 16: a Columbus kid, like Ohio State was everything when I

621
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 16: was growing up. And then I saw since I making

622
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 16: the run to the college ball playofform, I was like

623
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 16: I had to see it, and my first ever college

624
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 16: football visit was here to Cincinnati at like the old

625
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 16: bubble in the old facility.

626
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 13: And it's really cool to see them working.

627
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 16: And I've talked to some other schools throughout the process,

628
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 16: but since I was always home from the very start.

629
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 17: Devin, A big thing for me was when I was

630
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 17: getting recruited, was you know, the relationships you build with coaches,

631
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 17: and I mean coach step was always you know, on me,

632
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 17: on me, asking how I'm doing. And you know, as

633
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 17: I've gotten here and I've been here for a while,

634
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 17: it's still the same old coach. Like you know, he's

635
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 17: always checking on you, He's always taking care of was.

636
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 17: He treats us like his own and I mean, I

637
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 17: think that was really what sold it for me, was

638
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 17: I mean him being a great recruiter.

639
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: He's an interesting guy because he was an excellent quarterback

640
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: as a player and now he is doing a tremendous

641
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: job as a tight end coach. Do you think his

642
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: experience from playing quarterback has helped him, you know, teach

643
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: the tight end position in some way, Kevin.

644
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 16: It definitely has. I mean, being quarterback, you got to

645
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 16: know the whole offense and know everything.

646
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 13: You know, knowing.

647
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 16: What the tight end does and like you have to

648
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 16: know what he does based on what other guys are doing.

649
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 16: So I think having the knowledge of his quarterback and like,

650
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 16: I feel like it helps.

651
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 17: You know the game so well. Yeah, being a quarterback,

652
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 17: you know, you know everything. But also him just being

653
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 17: a people person. I think he could teach anybody on

654
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 17: the on the field at all times. I mean, he

655
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 17: knows his stuff, He knows the playbook like the back

656
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 17: of his hand.

657
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 13: And as I said.

658
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 17: He's just really good with people. I mean, everybody loves

659
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 17: coach Up.

660
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: So you two guys are part of the same recruiting class.

661
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: Did you get to know each other in the recruiting

662
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: process early on?

663
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 16: We had we had a remember we had a visit

664
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 16: pit together Pittsburgh and we talked for like an hour

665
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 16: on that visit.

666
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 13: We were talking about since then I came up for

667
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 13: both of us.

668
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 16: Oh yeah I really like Cincinnatiyeah, me too, stuff like that.

669
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 16: So yeah, we've like known each other through that. I

670
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 16: think we took a visit to Cincinnati together and like

671
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 16: the the Winner the January when the coaching staff first

672
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 16: got there with coach step coach Tyurfield, all that, and

673
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 16: we've done to know each other a little bit now

674
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 16: our roommates.

675
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: So now there we go. So I'm gonna ask you

676
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: guys to talk about each other. So Gavin, you go first.

677
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,719
Speaker 1: What you like and respect about Gavin.

678
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 17: Gavin is a very very smart football player. He's fast,

679
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 17: you know, he could run routes very well, and he's

680
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 17: just a big target. And he's also just you know,

681
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 17: like a good kid. And I've always gotten along with him.

682
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, and the same question for you about Devin.

683
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 13: Well, first, I was a good roommate.

684
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 16: No, I wasn't sure about it at first, but but well,

685
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,959
Speaker 16: I've enjoyed this company over time. I mean I've been

686
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 16: lived with him since since I got here in January

687
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 16: twenty twenty four. So he's been good. He's great on

688
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 16: the field. You know, he played d line in high

689
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 16: school and you could see it the physicality takes to

690
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 16: the offensive side of the field. So I think he

691
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 16: does a great job with that. And he's developed. He

692
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 16: he's pretty quick too. I would say he's quicker than me.

693
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 16: So he's definitely worked on speed and he's a pretty

694
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 16: pretty strong guy.

695
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: All right, So there's been one big highlight that you

696
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: guys have provided so far this year. Gavin you were

697
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: the person that provided it. It was the Kansas game. You

698
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: caught a pass about thirty four yards away and ran

699
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: thirty three yards in eleven inches. I mean it looked

700
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: like a touchdown. You came down with the ball over

701
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: the goal line, but I guess your knee touchdown just short.

702
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: Did you think you were in?

703
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 16: I was really close. I was really hoping we'd get

704
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 16: a review. But I don't think Kansas wanted that to happen,

705
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 16: so it didn't.

706
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: But it was.

707
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 16: It was a good experience for sure, first career reception.

708
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 16: So I was kind of just I was going going

709
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 16: as fast as I could to that goal line.

710
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Good. And and Devin, you were ready to charge

711
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: out there for the PA tea.

712
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 17: I was running in there, and I was so happy

713
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 17: for him, and I was like, ah, come on, like

714
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 17: I thought he was in. I was halfway on the

715
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 17: field when he called it.

716
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: So let's talk about this season to date. You guys

717
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: have won six straight, You've climbed at number twenty one

718
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: in the country. You're focused on Baylor this week and

719
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: trying to keep this rolling. Has it exceeded your expectations

720
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: so far this year? Or is this really what you

721
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: guys expected to do, Devin, you go first.

722
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 17: I mean I think I could agree with everybody. I mean,

723
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 17: I think this is what we expected to do. I

724
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 17: mean most of us probably think we should be seven

725
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 17: and zero. I mean that first one was tough. I

726
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 17: just think they had a better day than us that day.

727
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 17: But if we played him back, it wouldn't even be close.

728
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 17: And I think we just need to keep it rolling.

729
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 17: I mean, the offense looks great, our defense looks solid.

730
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 17: We're going and it's a good team. But I think

731
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 17: we got in the bag. How do you can tell

732
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 17: from this offseason?

733
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 16: You know, the new pieces we had and brought in

734
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 16: those transfer guys that really fit the culture. Like they

735
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 16: don't just go recruit, but they want guys that fit

736
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 16: the mold that coach Syerfield and coach Niko have set.

737
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 16: And I think they did a great job with that.

738
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 16: And this offseting was transformational and it changes and I

739
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 16: think we all knew that something special was coming this season,

740
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 16: and now we see it coming to Fruish and its

741
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 16: giving us even more confidence to keep this thing going.

742
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati has a great legacy of tight ends that have

743
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: gone on to play in the NFL. Obviously, most notably

744
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey is gonna go down as one of the

745
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: all time greats, but there are a bunch that have

746
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: made it. Is that a thing in the tight end

747
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: room trying to continue this legacy, Gavin, I'd.

748
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 16: Say, yeah, I mean we've all chasing success. I mean

749
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 16: we see the Josh Wiley, Travis Kelcey, Josiah Daguara like,

750
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 16: those guys have precedent that we got to be elite

751
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 16: and the elite tight ends come from this school. So

752
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 16: I mean, I definitely say we're chasing those guys every

753
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 16: single day.

754
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: Yep, definitely.

755
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 17: I mean it's a hard position to play and you

756
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 17: have to be elite at it, and we've had a

757
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 17: bunch of elite guys do it, so I mean that

758
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 17: just sets the tone for us to keep being great

759
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 17: like those guys were, and I think we're gonna get there.

760
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: It is a unique position to play. You guys have

761
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: to be able to do a little bit of everything.

762
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: You block, you catch, You've got all sorts of assignments

763
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: on any given play. The Bengals tight end coach James

764
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: Casey says all the time, if I was gonna hire

765
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: somebody i'd hire a tight end because they have to

766
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: do everything. How much do you enjoy all of the

767
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: responsibilities that come with the position, Gavin.

768
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 13: I enjoy it all.

769
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 16: I mean I enjoy casting, passing down on them, but

770
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 16: you also enjoy getting your nose in there and getting

771
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 16: the dirty work with those on alignment, because I mean,

772
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 16: they do a great job, and I try to replicate

773
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 16: that as much. Obviously weren't as big as they are.

774
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 16: But I like stick of my nose in there and

775
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 16: getting something that's good. You get a little angry one

776
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 16: day a can stick your nose in there and hit somebody.

777
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean it's nice catching balls, it's nice. It's

778
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 17: nice blocking. I like blocking a lot more than catching balls.

779
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 17: But I mean that's just me.

780
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,520

Speaker 1: Gavin and Devin take it away.

793
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 17: We got Callen with a question, what's the biggest difference

794
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 17: between high school and college?

795
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: Devin go, first, biggest difference between high school in college?

796
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 17: I mean, I would say the biggest difference is talent.

797
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 17: There's a lot of difference in talent. And I mean

798
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 17: the schedules are a lot different. I mean you wake

799
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 17: up so much earlier, you lift more, you have practice

800
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 17: a lot more. It's just like a totally different ball game.

801
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 16: I would say that like at the high school level,

802
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 16: like most of the guys who are playing on these

803
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 16: college teams were the best or one of the best

804
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 16: players on their high school team. And then now you

805
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 16: go on to the team and everybody's the best player

806
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:30,479
Speaker 16: on their.

807
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 13: High school team.

808
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 16: So you got to compete with those those older guys

809
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 16: who were the best in their team, and now they're

810
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 16: getting the better on this team and so on and

811
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 16: so forth.

812
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: All right, very good question, Jeff.

813
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 10: All right, so you said you were a defensive alignment

814
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 10: of high school.

815
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 3: Was that correct?

816
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 17: Correct?

817
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 10: So what was a transition like to go from defense

818
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 10: to offense and how hard was it and did they

819
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 10: have to talk you into it or did you always

820
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 10: want to be a tight end?

821
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 17: So I put my senior year of high school, I

822
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 17: played defensive end and tight end. I played just a

823
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 17: lot more defensive end because we kind of only let

824
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 17: people play one side of the ball. So the transition

825
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 17: wasn't incredibly hard, but it was. It was different. I mean,

826
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 17: you know, going from one position of the ball to

827
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 17: the other side, like it's a little confusing. You gotta

828
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 17: have your head around things. But once you once you

829
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 17: get it, you get it.

830
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. Did you play any defense, Kevin?

831
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 16: I played defensive end as well in high school. I

832
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 16: enjoyed defense because I don't know, you didn't really have

833
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 16: to think as much as just going.

834
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 17: Go get the ball, Go hit that guys, go ahead, exactly,

835
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 17: go for the ball.

836
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: All right, Gary, I played defensive and in middle school,

837
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure you terrorized the middle school kids.

838
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 7: John Daniel Okay, guys, you're both Ohio guys. One Mid Ohio,

839
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 7: one Northern Ohio. Let's go back a couple few years.

840
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 7: Was always a big discussion in Ohio. Southwest Ohio is

841
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 7: the best high school football?

842
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: Is that true? Devin? Do you care to start?

843
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 17: I mean, I'd have to disagree with that. I think

844
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 17: North we got a lot of good got a lot

845
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 17: of good teams, and I just, I just I just

846
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 17: don't agree with you on that one.

847
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: Respect Do you want to course, do you want to

848
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 1: speak up for the Columbus area.

849
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 16: I always hear about Cincinnati and Northeast Ohio, whatever, But

850
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 16: I think I think Columbus got some of the most

851
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 16: competitive football in the state of Ohio. You know, we

852
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 16: got we got some good, good ball players come out

853
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 16: of Columbus.

854
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 13: Not the name many.

855
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, good respectful answers. You're both wrong, but but that's okay, Dave.

856
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 9: Question for both of you, what's been your coolest moment

857
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 9: here as a bear Cat in the last couple of years.

858
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 16: I'd say just right now, honestly going through this now,

859
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 16: you know last year wasn't didn't come out with wi Wan.

860
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 16: You know, we wanted to have some more success but

861
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 16: I think this year were really putting it together and

862
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 16: it's been excited to watch.

863
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 13: You know, it's good good to get on the field.

864
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 3: Now.

865
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 16: We're both figuring out our roles in this offense and

866
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 16: trying to help the team best we can, whether it's

867
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 16: offense or special team. So, I mean, I'm having a

868
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 16: great time right now and I'm enjoying this team.

869
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 17: I would definitely say getting my first catch in that

870
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 17: game last year, I mean that was awesome. I Mean

871
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 17: I don't think you could replicate a moment like that.

872
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 3: So, yeah, what.

873
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: Game was that for? Refresh our memory? Houston?

874
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 6: All right, Brian, So you guys are both kind of

875
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 6: like you're the next wave.

876
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 3: You're the guys.

877
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 6: Going to be who we're talking about the way we're

878
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 6: talking about Joe Royer in a couple of years. So

879
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 6: you're not having as many snaps yet, but you have

880
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 6: roles that are important. How do you keep yourself mentally

881
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 6: focused when you don't have as many opportunities but you

882
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 6: have important opportunities.

883
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 17: Yeah, So we we're always still in the playbook. We

884
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 17: always still have to know what we're doing because we

885
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 17: still get a ton of reps in practice. So you

886
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 17: have to know what you're doing, and I mean being

887
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 17: a we're both four core guys, like we're on every

888
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 17: special teams unit, and I mean that's seriously a huge role.

889
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 17: I mean you somebody here said of themselves, the special

890
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 17: teams looks a lot better. I think we're taking a

891
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 17: huge step and just you know, doing that as best

892
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 17: as we can and being the best at that in

893
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 17: the country.

894
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

895
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 16: One of my old coach from back home told me, like,

896
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 16: just prepare every week like you're a starter, And I

897
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 16: think that's it's definitely what we should be doing because

898
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 16: I mean, be prepared whenever someone gets to bumps or

899
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 16: bruise or like you have to go in and play

900
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 16: a little more just because some of the other guys

901
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 16: are tired.

902
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 13: I mean, it's always ready to be prepared.

903
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 16: And like he said, like figuring out specially special teams

904
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 16: is a huge.

905
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 13: Part of the game.

906
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 16: And you know, with with our new special teams coordinator,

907
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 16: and it's working out really well and our guys are

908
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,959
Speaker 16: really buying into what he's teaching us. And I think

909
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 16: that is a huge role that this team is kind

910
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 16: of taking on and gotten better at.

911
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: We saw it in the Kansas game. Too. Joe Royer

912
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: went into concussion protocol and you get thrown in there

913
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: in a very close game going back and forth. You know,

914
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: neither team ever led by more than one score, and

915
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: Cincinnati didn't skip a beat. I mean you came right

916
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: in and came through a big plays.

917
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 16: Yeah, I just had to be ready to know Joe.

918
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 16: Joe's a big playmaker on offense with the big shoes

919
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 16: to fill. So I just did the best I could.

920
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 16: You know, I prepared myself that week like I would

921
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 16: have been the starter, even though Joe's obviously the starter.

922
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 16: But I've been playing the best I could, and I

923
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 16: like to said, I think made a good impact on them.

924
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 3: Doubt absolutely, all right, Bob.

925
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 4: So, I've heard a number of players described this past

926
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 4: offseason as the toughest, most challenging offseason that they've ever faced.

927
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 4: Is that baked into the culture now because we see

928
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 4: when you go through that, that toughness, when you when

929
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 4: you're confronted with that, what the payoff is on the field.

930
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 4: So expected to be tough next offseason.

931
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

932
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 17: So when I first got in here, I wasn't early

933
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 17: enroll lye. So I came from you know, waking up

934
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 17: at noon, eating bad breakfast and going to school for

935
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 17: a couple of minutes, waking up at five thirty in

936
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 17: the morning, lifting as much weight as I've ever have,

937
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 17: and you know, and then running and all that. So

938
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 17: that was when I first got here a lot. And

939
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 17: then this season, this offseason was even worse than that.

940
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 17: I mean, I don't even know, I know, Nico, Coach

941
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 17: Nico's gonna find some way to make it even worse

942
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 17: than that. So I'm looking forward to it.

943
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 13: Coach.

944
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 16: Oh, yeah, Coach Nico is a great guy and he

945
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 16: really knows how give us a good workout. Just safe

946
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 16: to say that, Yeah, definitely, the off season has been

947
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,479
Speaker 16: a huge infinis emphasis for those guys. Coach sat gives

948
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 16: Nicos the rain, Nico the rains, and let's lets some

949
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 16: work with us, and he does.

950
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 13: He does a great job.

951
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: I fear that the first description that you provided there, Devin,

952
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: was my son's college experience, right, University of Colorado.

953
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 11: All right, Phyllis, So you mentioned that you both went

954
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 11: to pitt for a visit and Cincinnati then for a visit.

955
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 11: Besides the fact that the Bengals beat Pittsburgh, which.

956
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: Is awesome, Yes, it was glorious.

957
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 11: What was the difference between the two schools that really

958
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 11: just helped you both individually make a decision to come here,

959
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 11: besides the fact that you're besties.

960
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 17: Now oh yeah, oh yeah, I would think just you know,

961
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 17: my relationship with coach sat was was huge, and my

962
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 17: relationship with Coach step I don't think I've ever been

963
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 17: as close to a position coach or coach in general

964
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 17: than Coach Step and Coach Set, So I think that

965
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 17: was just a huge thing for me, is why I

966
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 17: came here.

967
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 16: I'd say definitely Coach step in this coaching staff. I mean,

968
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 16: it really felt like a family as soon as he

969
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 16: came in here. And I know it's easy to say

970
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 16: that with everything, but it really means that, Like he

971
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 16: he checks up on it's like where his son. It's

972
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 16: like he's a girl that and has four dollars. I

973
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 16: feel like we're part of that family as well. I

974
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 16: mean we've gone to eat at the other Montgomery in

975
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 16: with that family like it's been. They've kept us really close,

976
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 16: and I mean it feels good, like I feel you

977
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 16: feel at home when you're here, And I think that

978
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 16: was the biggest difference between here and Pitt fellas.

979
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: You refer to them as besties, just so you know.

980
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: They have different entrees that they've ordered tonight and they're splitting.

981
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: It's my wife and I do you have two different

982
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: things and split it? So I get the pork chops exactly,

983
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: one pork chops, one rib. Split it up. You get

984
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: to try up both, which is great. Oh yeah, all right.

985
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 14: Next question, Hey guys, you've been obviously to a lot

986
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 14: of stadiums. How do you feel about playing Knippert versus

987
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 14: the other stadiums. Obviously I'm feeling it.

988
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: Nipper's unique.

989
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 14: I like to get your input on that.

990
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 16: I think Nippert is something I've never experienced before before

991
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 16: I stepped foot in Nippert. I think I went to

992
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 16: the Indiana game as a recruit, but I mean from Columbus.

993
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 16: I have playing the shoe holds like one hundred thousand,

994
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 16: but there's nothing like that's place packed out with forty

995
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,479
Speaker 16: thousand people. It's rocking, Like you hear players talk about

996
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 16: all the time, like how when they go and then

997
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 16: they're like, I think if you guys from Oklahoma were

998
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 16: talking like they were surprised when you step in foot

999
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 16: Nippert because it's really loud, and the fans get you guys.

1000
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 16: You guys do a great job at the games on Saturdays.

1001
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 16: I mean I get juiced up.

1002
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 3: Just run out the.

1003
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 13: Tunnel at the beginning of the game. I'm ready to go.

1004
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 16: So it's it's unique. I think it's it's my favorite statem.

1005
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 16: I know, obviously we're biased, but it's my favorite stateum

1006
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 16: to playing. Just for the fans and the atmosphere Nippert Stadium.

1007
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 16: I love it there, man. I mean, the fans are insane.

1008
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 3: They're loud.

1009
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 17: I mean, you get out there and your hype just

1010
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 17: because like it's going crazy. We're starting that new striping

1011
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 17: thing that looks insane. The student sections wild. I mean,

1012
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 17: the storming of the field was amazing. I mean I've

1013
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 17: never been a part of something like that, but it

1014
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 17: was awesome and it was it was amazing.

1015
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: You know, did you linger when they stormed the field

1016
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: or did you get to the locker room quickly?

1017
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 17: I was out there and uh my dad actually found

1018
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 17: me and so did my mom, and I'm like, what

1019
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 17: are you guys doing out here?

1020
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: They charged the field.

1021
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 17: I I love it. That's awesome.

1022
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: How about you, gap?

1023
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 16: I I enjoyed the field storm as well. I was

1024
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 16: out there in the middle. It was a pretty warm

1025
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 16: day and this student's rushing. I was like a fella

1026
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 16: that's have a panic attack out there.

1027
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 13: There's a lot, there's people coming from everyone's way.

1028
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 16: You like grabbing, you like tug at your holl Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

1029
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 16: oh yeah yeah.

1030
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 17: Sorry.

1031
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 10: I got one more talking about Nipper City. Have you

1032
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 10: guys had a chance to enjoy nip at Night, because

1033
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 10: I think that is the greatest college atmosphere ever. I'll

1034
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 10: put that against anybody in the SEC anything. Nippet Knight

1035
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 10: is awesome.

1036
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,720
Speaker 1: Have you guys got a chance to do that yet?

1037
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 16: So I went to the Miami Ohio game a few

1038
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 16: years ago. We don't want to talk about that anymore,

1039
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 16: flushed it, but I went to that as NIP and

1040
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 16: I is a cool atmosphere. I say, I enjoyed it

1041
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 16: a lot, but it kind of got deflated near the

1042
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 16: end of that game.

1043
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 13: I won't to speak about that.

1044
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 16: But we had the TCO game last year, but the

1045
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 16: student section really wasn't fully there. So we really want

1046
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 16: We're hoping the end of the year something comes through

1047
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 16: and we can get a nip at Knight this year.

1048
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 13: We need.

1049
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: It could be college game day if both teams continue winning.

1050
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: Any other audience questions, We've got a couple of minutes

1051
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: to go. If anybody else wants to put up their hand, otherwise,

1052
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: it looks like we've got one over here, John, real quick.

1053
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: What's your favorite part of the you indoor facility? I

1054
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: know it's beautiful. What what do you like best about it?

1055
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 3: Oh?

1056
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 17: The training room. The weight room's cool. The training room

1057
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 17: is top notch. I mean we got cold tubs, hot tubs,

1058
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 17: a cryo therapy chamber that I sit in all the time.

1059
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 17: That's amazing, steam sauna, sauna, I mean, you got everything,

1060
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 17: float tank, red bed therapy. I mean, I could go on.

1061
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 17: There's so much stuff in there. I really like, though,

1062
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 17: the transition from the weight room to where you could

1063
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 17: lift really quick and then you're on the field, Like

1064
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 17: we have a garage that opens up, then it connects

1065
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 17: to it so you could lift and then when we

1066
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 17: run in the summer, it's just a lift right to

1067
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 17: it and it's just like a really easy transition.

1068
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 13: It's literally perfect.

1069
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 16: Like there's not many things in this world that are perfect,

1070
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 16: but that facility is with the field, the weight room

1071
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 16: those are obviously nice, but the recovery modalities they've given

1072
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 16: us and that that facility are fantastic with as hot

1073
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 16: cold tub, there's an underwater treadmill for like rehab guys

1074
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 16: to get back. I mean, it's truly truly amazing. They

1075
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 16: have red light beds too. Those are super cool for

1076
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 16: covery that There's been a lot of re searched on that.

1077
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 16: That's a huge help for our guys.

1078
