Speaker 3: to see you.

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: You survive the Ohio State sidelines. I did.

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, no security breaches this time. I'm my favorite security

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 4: officer and I got along really well.

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: No, we were good. Yeah, everything's fine. Outstanding, outstanding, Well,

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 3: it was. It wasn't the best of nights, I guess

30
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: for the Gophers forty two to three. That opening drive, though,

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 3: Coach was was it an impressive one seven for seven

32
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: for your quarterback and you got points right off the bat.

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll just talk about the first drive the whole hour.

34
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 5: I think we should do that. Then just keep bringing

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 5: it up. We'll talk a little bit more about it.

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 5: But yeah, I thought we really started fast. That was

37
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 5: the whole game plan. Come out, start fast, had them

38
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 5: in a lot of different coverages, and I thought Drake

39
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 5: and Coach Tarbo and our offense dissected their defense really well.

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 5: And then they went back to the sideline, put a

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 5: lot of people in the box, stopped the run, and

42
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 5: they played man coverage from there on out, and we

43
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 5: just didn't. We weren't able to create enough separation and

44
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 5: give Drake enough time. So you got to give them

45
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 5: a lot of credit. I wanted to go back through

46
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 5: the film. I said this earlier this week. I want

47
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 5: to go back through the film and be like, Oh,

48
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 5: we played by crap. We stunk. It was really awful.

49
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 5: We beat ourselves. We really didn't. We had two penalties,

50
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 5: that's it. We did not turn the ball over. We

51
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 5: only gave up one sack. But at the end of

52
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 5: the day, I mean, they're a really good football team.

53
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 5: And that's one of the best football teams that I've

54
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 5: ever seen in thirteen years being a head football coach.

55
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 5: And I always give credit where credits due, and I'm

56
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 5: not exaggerating.

57
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: When I say that.

58
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 5: I said that about Michigan that year that when Michigan

59
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 5: beat US with Jim Harboughs.

60
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: I was the best team that we faced. They won

61
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: the national championship.

62
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 5: And this is the defending national championship champion, so you

63
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 5: got to give them.

64
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: A lot of credit. But I thought our guys.

65
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 5: Played incredibly hard all the way through sixty minutes and

66
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 5: just wasn't our night.

67
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: What did they look like in person as opposed to

68
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 4: when you watch on the film kind of mirror those

69
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 4: two for us?

70
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they're.

71
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 5: They have all the length in the world, the strength

72
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 5: to size, the depth. You know, they're two three deep

73
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 5: at every position. There is no holes to their offense,

74
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 5: defense or special teams there there there isn't there's no flaws,

75
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 5: right because in this world you can just you can

76
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 5: go out and recruit and and and nil and and

77
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 5: portal and buy a player in that spot. And they're

78
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 5: really good at doing what they do. Uh just look

79
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 5: at their their right tackle. He used to be our

80
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 5: right tackle and he's he's a tremendous football player and

81
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 5: did a great job on our guys. So but they

82
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 5: they were as good as advertised in person.

83
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: You know.

84
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 5: We we said we're going to be bold, we were

85
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 5: going to be aggressive, and I thought we were.

86
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: You know, we took the.

87
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 5: Lead, then got to stop and unfortunately had a punt

88
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 5: on the on the third drive. On the second drive

89
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 5: and then the third drive they scored. So it's unfortunate

90
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 5: that the score got to where the score was. But

91
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: when you look at the film, you wouldn't necessarily think

92
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 5: that except for a few explosive plays. But they're able

93
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 5: to dissect you pretty quickly. And when we did go

94
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 5: man coverage, they ran by us and had to throw

95
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 5: the ball down the field, So we knew that was

96
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 5: going to happen. We had a limit as much as

97
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 5: it happened, but unfortunately they were able to score almost

98
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 5: at will.

99
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we mentioned the talent that they have. I mean,

100
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: there's guys who are going to be first round pick,

101
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 3: second round picks. Like when you look at the film,

102
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 3: almost everybody at some point, I know, when they decided

103
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: to move on off that roster of starters is going

104
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: to be an NFL draft pick. And those receivers are

105
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 3: certainly first round picks. I mean, Tait has a world

106
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,119
Speaker 3: class speed and you know, and and that doesn't mention Smith,

107
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: who might be the best in the country, probably is

108
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 3: the best receiver in the country.

109
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's maybe the first pick overall in the draft,

110
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 5: and maybe a top fifteen pick at wide out.

111
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: So and then they also have.

112
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 5: A tight end that's a high draft pick, and all

113
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 5: their offensive linemen could be high picks. And they're very

114
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 5: old and experienced, and they're they're really talented. They got

115
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 5: a lot of really good players at the quarterback played

116
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 5: really really well, but we didn't do a lot to

117
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 5: disrupt them. We couldn't get enough pressure on them. Whether

118
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 5: we blitzed, and that was a whole deal. We couldn't

119
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 5: get to them with four and then if we did blitz,

120
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 5: then we were going to leave holes and gaps in theverage,

121
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 5: and if we they did pick it up, they were

122
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 5: going to be able to get some shots.

123
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: So, you know, I guys played incredibly hard. I'm really

124
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: proud of them.

125
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 5: There are no moral victories at all, nor is am

126
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 5: I saying this with moral victory. But you got to

127
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 5: look at the positives in that performance when you get

128
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 5: beat forty two to three, And like I said, I

129
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 5: thought they just beat us, you know, pound for pound

130
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 5: better than us on that particular day.

131
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: And they didn't make any mistakes.

132
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 5: I told you we had two title these zero turnovers,

133
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 5: one sack, but they played almost perfect, you know.

134
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: And if we were going to wait for.

135
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 5: Ohio State to make all these mistakes, and they're the

136
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 5: number one team in the country for a reason and

137
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 5: the defending national champions, and we were going to have

138
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 5: to play and play really, really well get some takeaways

139
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 5: which we didn't get, and it was going to have

140
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 5: to go our way.

141
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: That way from a standpoint, early you mentioned that they

142
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: you guys had the nice success. I think Drake was

143
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: seven for seven on that drive, and then they did

144
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 3: some different things. They went man all that stuff, and

145
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: then the passing game kind of I think you threw

146
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: thirteen passes in the first quarter, six in the second,

147
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: and then just four in the third and only three

148
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: in the set in the in the last quarter.

149
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: Take me through how how that.

150
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: All unfolds as the game is what it is and

151
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: the scoreboard is what it is, and your philosophy on

152
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: trying to get through half two and the passing game

153
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 3: going away.

154
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 5: We only had three the ball three minutes in the

155
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 5: third quarter, right, So that's one drive and that's basically

156
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 5: sums it up, right, And if we don't execute that,

157
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 5: you're in a punting situation and they just continue to

158
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 5: march the ball down the field. So you know, you

159
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 5: look at it and it's always three different things when

160
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 5: you don't win.

161
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: It is is it the personnel?

162
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: Uh?

163
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it the coaching? Or is it the scheme?

164
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 5: And you look at all three of those things and

165
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 5: you want to be able to pull all that off.

166
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 5: But there are some times I told our team in

167
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 5: the locker room, and you know, I wasn't very happy.

168
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 5: I hate losing, and we're going in there to win

169
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 5: the football game. There is we're at a point that's

170
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 5: where I want our players mind. But sometimes you get

171
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 5: in a fight and you get beat up, and you

172
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 5: got to respond to that fight.

173
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: That's what football's about.

174
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 5: I mean, there is a violent sport and sometimes you're

175
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 5: on the short end of that fight. And and we were,

176
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 5: and our guys are going to respond this week. And

177
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 5: I feel very confident about that. Had a really good

178
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 5: day of practice today. They came in with the intentionality

179
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 5: of getting way better on Sunday, which I appreciate, and

180
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 5: they had great humility in doing it, and I thought

181
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 5: they represented us in a first class fashion. So besides

182
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 5: the loss, there's a lot of great things to pull

183
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 5: from that.

184
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wanted to talk about Sunday because we've talked

185
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 4: about Sundays on this show for a long time. When

186
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 4: you say, you know it didn't go, you know how

187
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: anybody wanted it to go on Saturday, But you don't

188
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: want them coming in, you know, defeated by it or

189
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 4: beaten by it, because you do have to move on, right,

190
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 4: You've got another handful of games through the rest of

191
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: the season. So how what was your approach Sunday, Maybe

192
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 4: after you went back and watched the film and watched

193
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: it and everything.

194
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Sunday.

195
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 5: You can't tell whether we win or lose when you

196
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 5: come in on Sunday because I never wanted to be

197
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 5: result oriented in terms of the teaching, education and response.

198
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 5: Whether you win or lose, Sunday is about growth, period.

199
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 5: So when you came in on Sunday, it was very

200
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 5: natural for our players to come in. I think guys

201
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 5: were disappointed, you know, and you want them disappointed when

202
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 5: you care and you put so much work in it.

203
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 5: Some game, somebody's got to win, somebody's got to lose.

204
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 5: You pour a ton of effort in but so did Ohio State.

205
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 5: And just because you put an effort doesn't mean that

206
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 5: you're gonna win. It doesn't mean you're gonna play well.

207
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 5: Doesn't mean you're not going to play well. But on

208
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 5: Sundays or for the growth and the response, and I

209
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 5: thought our guys did a tremendous job coming in with

210
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 5: the intentionality of growth and UH and getting better, and

211
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 5: I thought they definitely did that.

212
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: You mentioned this yesterday during your news conference in regard

213
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: to Darius Taylor.

214
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: He got back in some game action, which certainly was

215
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: good to see.

216
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: Uh, sounds like he was on a bit of a

217
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: pitch count, depending on, you know, how the game unfolded.

218
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 3: And I'm sure how he felt and what the doctors thought.

219
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: Much of that is out of the coaches control. So

220
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: talk us through what that was like Saturday and just

221
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: monitoring when and how often he could play. And two

222
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 3: and I know you don't talk a lot about the

223
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: health of the players, but how how is he looking

224
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: for the approaching week?

225
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: He looks really good, you know.

226
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 5: I mean, our medical staff handles whether he will play

227
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 5: or not on Saturday. I don't have I only have

228
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 5: some I don't have any control of that. The doctors

229
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 5: and the and the training staff does.

230
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: But he was on a pitch count. It was going

231
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: to be.

232
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 5: It wasn't going to be, Hey, here's how he plays.

233
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 5: It's a workload, and it's a number that is based

234
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 5: on the catapult of what he's ready for. And so

235
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 5: we knew we wouldn't have him for the full game

236
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 5: and the full entirety, but we were going to use

237
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 5: him as much as we possibly could, especially we were

238
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 5: going to space it out depending on how the game

239
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 5: went and you know, being down fourteen to three pretty quick,

240
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 5: we had we had to use a lot of that

241
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 5: workload in the first half. So but I'm really thankful

242
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 5: that he got a chance to get out there and

243
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 5: some game experience coming off of that injury. Medical staff

244
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 5: has done a really good job of him.

245
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 3: So trending upwards, yeah, any I thought he'd look pretty

246
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 3: good against a a you know, a team that just

247
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 3: doesn't give up many rushing yards.

248
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 5: Now, they're really stout, they're really good athletic long but

249
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 5: I think he's he's coming back in a in a

250
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 5: in a progressive way, in a positive way. He's got

251
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 5: a great mindset. He works his tail end off, works

252
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 5: in the training room. They're really really talented. And you know,

253
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 5: again they're giving up four and a half points a game.

254
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: They've allowed two touchdowns two in five games. It's incredible

255
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: to me.

256
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 5: I mean, it's until you experience it, right, It's like,

257
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 5: I think we're even I told Gary we scored three

258
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 5: on the open drive, and you know, we were joking

259
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 5: around because he was like, man, I thought, definitely we're.

260
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: Going to get more than ten.

261
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 5: You know, like you're starting to think that maybe we'll

262
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 5: be the first team to score double digits on him,

263
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 5: you know. And but that's kind of how it works.

264
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 5: And they do a lot of different stuff that they

265
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 5: never played the same front back to back, and they're

266
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 5: mixing up coverages, putting in different types of man and

267
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 5: cover two and going.

268
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: In and out of it.

269
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 5: They got a nickel playing on the line of scrimmage

270
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden ball snap he's run to

271
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 5: the half of the field, playing deep half.

272
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: You can do that.

273
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 5: When you have that type of personnel as well. And

274
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 5: they're very good, very skilled, and they're very disciplined. To

275
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 5: do as much as they do and still be disciplined,

276
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 5: it's a credit to them and the coaching staff.

277
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: One quick follow up to on Darius just in general terms,

278
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 3: and I don't know what his percent will be when

279
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: he is one hundred percent, How does that change what

280
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 3: you guys want to do? And I know you have

281
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: good depth at running back and you like the other

282
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: guys too, but he is he is pretty special running back.

283
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 5: I mean, your best players are your best players, you know,

284
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 5: and nothing can take that away from being your best player.

285
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 5: You can have depth, you can have solid players, you

286
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 5: can have guys that are going to do really well.

287
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 5: But there's a reason Darius Taylor's Darius Taylor. We don't

288
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 5: have five Darius Taylor's. There's some schools that do. We

289
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 5: have one Darius Taylor. And if our best player on

290
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 5: offense isn't in there, of course that affects you. It's

291
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 5: up to us to find creative ways to get the

292
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 5: ball to different people and to be really smart with

293
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 5: the football and efficient. But he is somebody who can

294
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 5: change a game by touching the football, and that's what

295
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 5: the NFL is all about, with playmakers, and that's what

296
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 5: really good college football teams abrout. And when they have

297
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 5: great playmakers, it makes things a lot easier. So of

298
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 5: course he's missed guys who've done a great job stepping

299
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 5: into those roles and really stepping in and stepping up

300
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 5: and doing a really good job. But he's a phenomenal

301
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 5: football player and whenever we get him back, we'll be

302
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 5: thankful to have them.

303
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:44,440

430

Speaker 3: at four thirty.

431
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the offensive line. You shifted a few

432
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: guys up front and then had some in game subs

433
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: as well.

434
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 3: And I know you're mixing and matching and trying to

435
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: find the right combo.

436
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: Can you take us through that a little bit?

437
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that you know, when you look at

438
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 5: what we've done offensively and going into that game plan

439
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 5: and what their defensive line looked like in the front seven,

440
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 5: we felt like we had to shuffle some things up

441
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 5: just to give us the best advantage to protect Drake,

442
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 5: and I thought Coach Callahan and Coach Harbo did a

443
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 5: really good job of that based on their personnel. Was

444
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 5: it like matching personnel, But we wanted to make sure

445
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 5: that our edges were really secure because I think Greg

446
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 5: Johnson is as we continue to move, he's a really

447
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 5: good player. He can play tackle. If we ever get

448
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 5: in a pinch, he can go to the tackle. I

449
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 5: thought it was a great opportunity to move in to

450
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 5: left tackle, take Nathan to right tackle, and shuffle around

451
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 5: just the guards, and I thought that we were able

452
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 5: to get what we want out of it. We're going

453
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 5: to continue to have those guys keep battling and fighting

454
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 5: and competing because I think we've got three other guys

455
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 5: besides the four guys that are solid, that can continue

456
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 5: to compete and can continue to raise the level of

457
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 5: our offensive line play. So you know, in a perfect world,

458
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 5: you'd love to be able to have five guys, but

459
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 5: we don't live in a perfect world. So we got

460
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 5: seven guys, but what is the right combination? And it

461
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 5: might be week to week as we keep looking at that,

462
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 5: but you know we put a lot of attention into it,

463
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 5: that's for sure.

464
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: What have the challenge has been short yardage for you?

465
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 10: This year?

466
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: We talked about it.

467
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 4: I think at halftime of the Rutgers gamehere we had

468
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 4: the third and one, end of up the fourth and one,

469
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 4: didn't get it? You obviously had the fourth and one here.

470
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 4: It's good to go for it, right you're down fourteen

471
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 4: to three. You want to pick up that yard Every

472
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 4: coach always says we got to get fourth and one

473
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 4: if we go for what have the challenge has been

474
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 4: for you?

475
00:19:58,800 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 7: There?

476
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 5: We haven't got those are those are the challenges. We

477
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 5: haven't got a few of them. And you're never going

478
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 5: to be perfect. I mean that's why it's a little

479
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 5: bit of a gamble and a risk. But I'm going

480
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 5: to be bold and aggressive in those situations. I feel

481
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: like we should be able to execute a fourth and one.

482
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 5: I think getting whenever he comes back in a healthy

483
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 5: Darius back could help, you know.

484
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 1: I mean look at the fourth and one. I mean

485
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: they did a good job.

486
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 5: Of getting some knock back right off the shelf, but

487
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 5: there is no shelf, and so Darius did all he

488
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 5: could to run his feet and get way to get

489
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 5: the yard, but we weren't able to do it, and

490
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 5: Rutgers we weren't able to get it. So our guys

491
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 5: have identified it, they know it. Part of changing is

492
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 5: knowing what you're not executing and why you're not executing it.

493
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 5: So it's just the fundamental technique and going to get

494
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 5: the hard yards. So it's a combination of O line,

495
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 5: tight ends, running backs, and then schematically, we've got to

496
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 5: find some other ways to be able to get some

497
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 5: short yardage stuff as we keep moving forward, which we

498
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 5: will so but you know me, I like to put

499
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 5: the ball down, be really aggressive and go get a yard.

500
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 5: And that's what football's about and that's our mentality. So

501
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 5: if we're able to do it, we'll do it. If

502
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 5: we're not able to do it, we have to find

503
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 5: a different way of doing it, because I don't want

504
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 5: to change that belief system.

505
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 3: We hear this often in short yardage too, and I

506
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 3: just ask, I don't have any thoughts either way on it.

507
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: You've I think lined up under center maybe more this

508
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 3: year than you have in the past. Some of those

509
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 3: short yardage situations so have not been under center, They've

510
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 3: been just out of the you know, the pistol or

511
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,959
Speaker 3: the gun or whatever you want to call it.

512
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: What's a philosophy on that?

513
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 3: Because you hear some people say, well, you know, now

514
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 3: you're getting the ball deep in the backfield on short yardage,

515
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: why don't you just get your six foot four inch

516
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: guy quarterback and get him under center and push in

517
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 3: what you guys did some of that last year?

518
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: So how do you look at just strategically.

519
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 3: From a fourth down and short or third down and short,

520
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 3: How what's the best way to get that yard?

521
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 5: Well, if it was, if it was easy, every fourth

522
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 5: down in the National Football League and college football be converted,

523
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 5: it would be converted. There'd be there'd be one hundred

524
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 5: percent conversion rates on fourth down, everybody'd be ten of

525
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 5: ten on third down, and it'd be just lovely.

526
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: And last year, you guys are like ten or twelve

527
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 3: or something, I know, crazy.

528
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 5: Pushing it because we did it last year doesn't mean

529
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 5: we're going to be good at it, you know what

530
00:21:58,800 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 5: I mean?

531
00:21:59,080 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: This year?

532
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 5: So every team's a little bit different. I thought that,

533
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 5: you know, I thought Max has played a ton. He

534
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 5: was pretty good at the quarterbacks. See he got better

535
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 5: at that. We'll get better at that when we continue

536
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 5: to develop draking it. But those are those are things

537
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 5: you have to get better at by doing it. I

538
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 5: remember UFC, we did it a lot just to get

539
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 5: the yard and then they said that we weren't in,

540
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 5: and then they said we were in.

541
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 3: So that was your That was your you right in

542
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 3: that ress face, saying you loved him. I did love him,

543
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 3: and that was exactly what I said. And it was

544
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 3: so funny.

545
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 5: If you guys remember that USC game and everybody thought

546
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 5: I was yelling at the official.

547
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: In fact, I was giving him a compliment.

548
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 5: I said, I love you right, because I was so

549
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 5: excited about the call.

550
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: You might have mixed one word in there, yeah blank

551
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: you know.

552
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 5: But when you go back, heathers a few once.

553
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah that's the italianator. Yeah, I've learned that all from her.

554
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 5: But we had the official and know him very well,

555
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 5: known for years. We had the official here in one

556
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 5: of the previous games and he came up to me

557
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 5: and he's like, you remember me.

558
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: I said, of course, I remember you.

559
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 5: You know he's like, hey, just you know, for Christmas,

560
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 5: my wife got the picture of you screaming at me

561
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 5: and framed it and wrapped it. I'm like, I didn't

562
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 5: know what to say, thank you or like you.

563
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 3: Well is part of a meme, and most people think

564
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 3: you're you're mad at the guy right when they see

565
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: that meme, they think PJ flag nine nine.

566
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 5: Everybody thought I was just giving him the business right

567
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 5: where I was actually complimenting him, and h it's just

568
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 5: somewhat ironic that for Christmas, that's the gift.

569
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: That's a beautiful gift. So I'm making an impact.

570
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 3: You're you're you're a contributor to to just to everything.

571

Speaker 3: Everyone's rolling the boat now right, Well, no doubt about it.

572
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: He gave us some calls. He did not, Uh, let's

582
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 5: to have you here.

583
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: That is a good point. This is what Minnesota is

584
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: like all year round. Yeah, no doubt.

585
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 4: They look freezing, Yeah, swet shirts on the hold.

586
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: The boy the ball was bouncing off his foot.

587
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 5: He's he's incredibly talented, and we were just having a

588
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 5: quick conversation over there. I mean, we've got a lovely

589
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 5: family and support. He's he's a gracious kid. He's very empathetic.

590
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 5: The kids love him. He's he's he's really really intelligent,

591
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 5: and he's fun to be around. He's got a great personality.

592
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 5: But you know, he's a really good punter. And the

593
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 5: one thing we were talking about is, you know, my

594
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 5: job has been able to teach him football because it's

595
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 5: one thing to punt, but there's so many situations that

596
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 5: are involved in punting and the punt team, and it's

597
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 5: been really exciting to teach him the game. Sometimes I

598
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 5: stand back, I can't believe I just had to teach

599
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 5: him that, right, that's the last You don't really want

600
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 5: to be teaching that in the middle of the season,

601
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 5: But like you got to keep educating and sometimes you forget,

602
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 5: like he didn't grow up playing football.

603
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean it was Australian rules, Australian.

604
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 5: Rules rugby and all the other things that you play

605
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 5: over there, and some cricket. So it's great you got

606
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 5: cricket and you got Australian rules and rugby, and then

607
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 5: you got baseball here in football, it's got to be

608
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 5: very confusing for everybody.

609
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: But he's done a great job.

610
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 5: He's been a very not a pleasant surprise, but we

611
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 5: needed him to come through and be a huge impact

612
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 5: on our season and our team and he has been.

613
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: And flipping the field.

614
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 4: Underrated, right, I mean underrated plus is that's nothing to

615
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 4: sneeze at.

616
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, And you know what he's he's so coachable and

617
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 5: it's so funny because I grabbed him at one of

618
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 5: the punts he had. I think it was oh no,

619
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 5: it was Rutgers and they they brought a shallow and

620
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 5: you know, they only had the returner at thirty five

621
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 5: yards were protecting against the fake and then they'd run

622
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 5: him back and I was like, hey, I got something

623
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 5: for you. He's like, what, I go punt farther. He

624
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 5: kind of looked at me. I'm like, what great coaching

625
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 5: advice on it?

626
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 14: Far?

627
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 5: See the see their returners up close. I just want

628
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 5: you to drive it over his head. He looks at

629
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 5: me like, yeah, that's a really good coaching point. And

630
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 5: then the next time he bombs it over the head,

631
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm a really good coach.

632
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: You know, unbelievable.

633
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 5: What great. It's like coaches when they say catch the ball. Yeah,

634
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 5: that is not coaching. That's identifying. That's identifying something wrong.

635
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 5: Just like I identified the ball being short. I was like,

636
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 5: punt it farther. Yeah, I mean I just punted off

637
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 5: your foot farther.

638
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: Go, no doubt.

639
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 3: And I remember it because they were They were like

640
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 3: even thirty yards on a couple of those punts. You know,

641
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 3: it was bizarre. Yeah, I thought the same thing. And

642
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 3: Crawford's still around. Is he helping?

643
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: I see him at practice some and on fast Friday

644
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: and you know some of that stuff.

645
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 5: He comes by the office here and there, you know,

646
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 5: visits with our players and it comes by here and there.

647
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 5: So I think the players really enjoy him being around,

648
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 5: just like a lot of our former players do. They

649
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 5: come by, want to be around the team, want to

650
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 5: be around, you know, hanging out with our guys in

651
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 5: the building, use the facilities, I think that's really really important.

652
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 5: So you know, he's such a special guy too, so

653
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 5: I just you know, I love having the Australians around.

654
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: Yes, for sure, for sure, it's great, no doubt.

655
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 5: I don't know if he's allowed to go back home

656
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 5: right now. I think he's trying to get a visa

657
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 5: or something like that to go work.

658
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: So he's stuck here. Well, I know if he's stuck.

659
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 5: Here, but I think he's working on being able to

660
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 5: get a job here, which is which is which is

661
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 5: always challenging with when you're international.

662
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.

663
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,240

Speaker 3: You always talk about the football team's role in homecoming

696
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 3: is to win the football game on Saturday, right, and.

697
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 5: Win the football game. Yeah, that's that's our main job.

698
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 5: I always talk about. It's not to decorate the gym

699
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 5: or bring the streamers or spike the punch like we're.

700
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: Not, we're not.

701
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 5: That's not our job. Our jobs to win the game.

702
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 5: So our guys are working really hard. They had a

703
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 5: great practice today, got a really good mindset and the

704
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 5: response mentality playing a really good Purdue football team. Do

705
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 5: not look at their record because they've they've lost to

706
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 5: truly three ranked teams when you look at it, and

707
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 5: they're really talented on offense, score a lot of points,

708
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 5: aggressive style defense, and a specialists are playing at a

709
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 5: high level. So we've got our work cut out for us,

710
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 5: that's for sure. And just really thankful for all the

711
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 5: people coming back from homecoming this week. Really excited to

712
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 5: see everyone. A lot of former players coming back to

713
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 5: so look forward a great atmosphere at Huntington Bank Stadium.

714
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: The importance of former players, you got over two hundred.

715
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 3: I know you kind of started some of this. They're

716
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 3: going to be lining the tunnel and just that engagement you've.

717
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: Always talked about. I think your term is something along the.

718
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 3: Lines of bridging the future in the past and make

719
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: it the present or something like that.

720
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: You say it much more eloquently that you nailed it. Yeah,

721
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: pretty close. You just confused me.

722
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, bridging the past something like that.

723
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: Yes, I see that in the endoor. So that's the

724
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: banner that hangs right back. Yeah, to row the bone.

725
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: I want you to put that up.

726
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: I want you to have a bang or something, a

727
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: banner that says something like that.

728
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 5: Now, we do want to be the bridge that connects

729
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 5: the pass to the future.

730
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: And you know we're in the present right now.

731
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 5: And these guys get to represent Minnesota and Golden Gophers

732
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 5: no matter when you played, no matter where you played,

733
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 5: no matter what position you played, all types of alum,

734
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 5: whether you played Where's or not. We get to represent

735
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 5: you on a national stage for homecoming this week. And

736
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 5: our players are very honored to do that. And don't

737
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 5: take that lightly and take it very seriously. So you

738
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 5: got over two hundred players coming back, which you know

739
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 5: when we first got there, we did the same thing

740
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 5: and we had forty players, and now we have over

741
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 5: two hundred from all different generations and different decades and

742
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 5: very excited to have those guys back on campus and

743
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 5: be around our football program.

744
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 4: Well, for people that are coming to the game, like

745
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 4: Grimmer said, they're going to be in the tunnel. And

746
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: then that's about the time I go down as well,

747
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 4: and you might get a fifteen yard penalty for delay

748
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 4: a game, because those guys keep the yearbooks open and

749
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 4: they're like loitering in the ends though they're all there

750
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 4: taking pictures and so for people watching, like you'll see

751
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 4: all of them in the tunnel obviously, but they hang

752
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 4: out down there, and you know, I had to yell

753
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 4: at a couple.

754
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson, of course he's loitering, but he take it

755
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: actually selfies just off exactly. He's not with any other

756
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: team mates, just Ron.

757
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 4: But I do think that's cool though it's like, all right, guys,

758
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 4: it's time to go.

759
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: This was awesome, but now we got to go play

760
00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: a game.

761
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 4: But it's cool to just see all those guys down

762
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 4: there really not wanting to leave because they're having a

763
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 4: fun time.

764
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 5: You know what's great about it is we've got a

765
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 5: lot of guys coming back that are playing in the

766
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 5: NFL right now that did play in the NFL. But

767
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 5: it's the guys that didn't play in the NFL, you know,

768
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 5: the guys that are owning their own business right now,

769
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 5: are working in a marketing job or a sales job,

770
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 5: or their teachers or their educators, or they're in med

771
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 5: school going to be a surgeon like, it's so cool

772
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 5: to get those guys back, and it's fun to watch

773
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 5: them grow up. A lot of them have a family

774
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 5: now they have wife and kids, and you remember them

775
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 5: when they were whatever number they were right, and then

776
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 5: now you start to watch them live their entire life

777
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 5: and see how they've grown as a man. And I

778
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 5: think that's that's always really special for a coach because

779
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 5: we get paid to win, but I do the job

780
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 5: because I love to teach and educate.

781
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: That's why I do the job.

782
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 5: And it's so fun to watch a lot of your

783
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 5: players come back who are really like your sons. You

784
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 5: come back and you're really really proud of them, and

785
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 5: it's fun to be around those guys.

786
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 3: And I know you stay in touch with all kinds

787
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: of your former players, but you have to worry about.

788
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: The football game.

789
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 3: So behind the scenes, how many people are working on

790
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: make sure all these guys are in the right spot

791
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: at the right time and get tickets and passes and

792
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 3: whatever else they need. It isn't as simple as snapping

793
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: your fingers.

794
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: I would guess no, not at all.

795
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 5: Whether it's our operation staff, our recruiting staff, our general manager,

796
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 5: Garrett Turnoff Chandler Bunny. Our whole support staff is involved

797
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 5: in that. So we also have recruits on the field,

798
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 5: and we have recruits.

799
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: That we're meeting with prior to the game.

800
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 5: So it's all hands on deck, I promise, and a

801
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 5: lot of people doing a lot of hard work to

802
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 5: make that all run really smoothly for.

803
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: All of you. Anything else on homecoming grim, No, I'll

804
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: move along.

805
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 4: I actually want to move back because we talked about

806
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 4: to Ohio State.

807
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: After the first try.

808
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 4: No, we talked about the Darius Taylor pitch count, and

809
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 4: it's kind of like a new phenomenon.

810
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: I feel like because the.

811
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 4: Vikings just did this with Christian dearosof people were watching

812
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 4: on Sunday and all of a sudden, Darisaw is not

813
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 4: playing and everyone's like, what's going on.

814
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: Nope, it was planned.

815
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 4: We were gonna he had a lot of snaps last week.

816
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 4: Now we're going to take it easy. Is that a

817
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 4: new phenomenon? I think I thought it used to be like,

818
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 4: you're good enough to play, You're going to go in

819
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 4: there and play. But it seems like there's a lot

820
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 4: more science behind I guess load management, lack of a

821
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 4: better term.

822
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: I think you hit it right on the head.

823
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 5: I mean, we have way more science and data and

824
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 5: medical information than we've ever had, whether that's with AI

825
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 5: or whether that's with the technology that we have or

826
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 5: the medical technology. So when you have the information, you're

827
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 5: going to respond to that information, because if not, it's

828
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 5: just useless knowledge. If you're not using it to make

829
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 5: it better and make it good and to take care

830
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 5: of those players, then it's pointless. So we have all

831
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 5: that stuff to take care of our players, get them

832
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 5: back on the field healthier, faster, maybe a little slower

833
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 5: if the data says that. But I think that everybody's

834
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 5: got a lot more data and a lot more technology

835
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 5: to keep track of all that so you can make

836
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 5: the best educated decisions moving forward. That is the health

837
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 5: of all of our players, and that's the number one thing,

838
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 5: is the health, safety and well being of our players mentally, physically,

839
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 5: and emotionally.

840
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: So we have way more data. We need to respond

841
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: to that data.

842
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 5: And I think you see that in the NFL, You

843
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 5: see that in college football an awful lot.

844
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: So isn't as simple as you mentioned the word work

845
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 4: load on the Catapult system that when it's a certain

846
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 4: number for a certain player, hey, they might be more

847
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 4: susceptible to re injuring or injurying or something like that,

848
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 4: or kind of take us through how those numbers. I

849
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 4: know you're not the one collating the data, but you

850
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 4: get the info. So how does that work where let's

851
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 4: just say with deris off, for example, it's like, well,

852
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 4: we're going to give them a couple series off, or

853
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 4: Darius has a certain number before, we're probably.

854
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: Going to pull back.

855
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I get told I needed in layman's terms, Yeah,

856
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 5: I needed somebody to explain the data and information to me,

857
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 5: like how many plays? Like, give me a number, right,

858
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 5: because if not, they're like, hey, it's at a three

859
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 5: fifty to four to fifty load. And I'm like, okay, yeah,

860
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 5: I have no idea what that means. Right, you get

861
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 5: paid to tell me what that means, right, because I've

862
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 5: got to adjust it into football terms of how long

863
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 5: you can play them. We felt like we'd get two

864
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 5: quarters out of Darius. So however that looked, we're talking

865
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 5: probably you know, six to eight plays per quarter. So

866
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 5: when you look at it, you know, fifteen sixteen plays.

867
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 5: Maybe that's kind of what we thought it would be

868
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 5: on average, and so that's kind of what we felt

869
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 5: like we could we could have with his load. I

870
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 5: don't know what the Vikings philosophy is. But then you're

871
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 5: also listening to the player, you're listening to the medical staff.

872
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 5: You look up on the scoreboard and you know, once

873
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 5: it was twenty eight to three and thirty five to three,

874
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 5: it was like, all right, well, I'm glad we pulled

875
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 5: them because I would probably would have pulled them by

876
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 5: now anyway. But it's you know, it's one of those

877
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 5: things you got to listen to the science and data

878
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 5: or why do you have it?

879
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 3: And Guargie and you both mentioned the catapult system. Some

880
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: probably know what that is, but it is it's pretty unique.

881
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: We see it at practice. Do you guys wear it

882
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: in the game too? They wear it in the game.

883
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: Yes, just explain a little what that is.

884
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it is a and I don't want

885
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 5: this word to get out, but it's a glorified medical

886
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 5: tracking device in practice, right, and you could wear this

887
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 5: thing twenty four to seven and it gives you all

888
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 5: types of data, whether it was sleep or how hard

889
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 5: you're working, or you know, your your beats per minute

890
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 5: all these other things, right, And give you all this

891
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 5: health safety and medical information, but we keep a monitoring

892
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 5: practice to monitor their workloads, their top speeds, workloads versus

893
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 5: game workloads in practice, and then we measure all of

894
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 5: that and have running data throughout the entire year every

895
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 5: time they're doing something with physical activity to know what

896
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 5: to give them and when to pull back. And that's

897
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 5: about as good as I can explain it. I mean,

898
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 5: it's a glorified tracking device. It keeps track of everything

899
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 5: that they do medically throughout the practice, and I think

900
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 5: that gives you information to respond to when you're making

901
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 5: practice plans, when you're adjusting certain things for training, camp

902
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 5: or the season. We have also data that comes out

903
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 5: that says, hey, this guy's at risk and getting hurt,

904
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 5: that he could be what we call in the red

905
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 5: where the workload is getting really high, which then you

906
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 5: have to respond to how many reps he's going to

907
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 5: get the next day in practice, or maybe he had

908
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 5: a lot of big workload in the game and you

909
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 5: look at Sunday and you're going to hold him out

910
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 5: of Sunday because the workload's so high. Every single player

911
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 5: on our football team gets evaluated that way, and that's

912
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 5: how you can create and do everything you can as

913
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 5: a coach to keep people healthy and on the field

914
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 5: as long as possible.

915
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 3: Well, as you mentioned, there's a bit of a trend

916
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 3: there with with different players, both college and NFL. Another

917
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 3: trend and it's not, you know, a trend that's just exploding,

918
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 3: but you see it every now and then.

919
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: We saw it this weekend.

920
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 3: I know, last week on this show when we were

921
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 3: on campus, we talked about your rule of not you know,

922
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 3: reaching the football toward the end zone. This week in

923
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 3: the NFL we see a guy again slow up at

924
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,959
Speaker 3: about the eight or nine yard line and at about

925
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 3: the two inch line.

926
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: Thinking he's in the end zone.

927
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 3: Why, I don't know, it's right in front of him,

928
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 3: and he loses the ball and it goes out of

929
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 3: the end zone. And you know, one of the weird things.

930
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 3: One of the first things I thought of is I

931
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 3: wonder if PJ. Fleck has a drill to show his

932
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 3: guys how to make sure you're in the end zone

933
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: before you do anything like that.

934
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: So you talked to your team about some of that

935
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: stuff that happens. And I don't know, you've known me,

936
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: you've known me nine years. H what do you think.

937
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: I think you probably have talked to your team about that.

938
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 5: So we have a rule that you've got to run

939
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 5: through the goal line, through the back line. If you're

940
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 5: not being tackled in the end zone, you got to

941
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 5: run all the way. You'll see our players run all

942
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 5: the way out of the back of the end zone

943
00:37:58,320 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 5: with the ball.

944
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: That helps you avoid it, yes.

945
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 5: Because if they're two yards short, at least they're eight

946
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 5: yards deep in the end zone and we evaluate all

947
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 5: of that. You even saw, you know, Trevor Lawrence last

948
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 5: night reaching the ball over on a quarterback sneak that.

949
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: Cost him a touchdown, you know.

950
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 5: And there's so many that we showed that play that

951
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 5: you're talking about from the Cardinals this morning. Yeah, And

952
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 5: so there's so many games that are lost before they

953
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 5: can even be won. And most games are lost, not one,

954
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 5: and most games that are won are lost less than

955
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 5: the other team lost it.

956
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 1: So we're teaching our players how to go win games.

957
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 5: And it's very difficult to do that because you've got

958
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 5: to be incredibly disciplined, and you have to value the

959
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 5: ball and maybe you have to do with things a

960
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 5: little bit different than other people.

961
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: But that's why when we do.

962
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 5: Reach the ball, everybody sees a touchdown, everybody's cheering, and

963
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 5: I'm furious. I am just furious because I know what

964
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 5: could have been. As a head coach, you're always looking

965
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 5: at worst case scenario and then you're almost working always backwards.

966
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 5: And that's how your life gets screwed up when you're

967
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 5: a coach, because you're always looking worst case scenario. You

968
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 5: go from being the most positive guy in the room

969
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 5: being a head coach. Now you're like mister negativity always.

970
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 5: You know, because you're always looking at worst case scenarios.

971
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 5: You got to respond to that. So I think that

972
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 5: that is that is an issue, and I think a

973
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 5: lot of people want to celebrate before they can get

974
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 5: across the line, and we want our guys celebrating together,

975
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 5: not individually. So it's unfortunate because it happens all the

976
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 5: time towered to the NFL.

977
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: It happens every single week.

978
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 3: And with you and I think people know this by now,

979
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 3: We've talked about it many times. You your guys will

980
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 3: never give up the ball unless it's to the referee

981
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 3: or I can practice. Managers will come and grab it

982
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: and you move on to the next play and that's

983
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 3: true with touchdowns. I've noticed as well, like I can't

984
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 3: imagine a go for.

985
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: Doing that, but you just you still have to, you know,

986
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: pound it in their head.

987
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 9: Right.

988
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean the whole saying about the balls.

989
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 5: The ball's a program in our in our culture. So

990
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 5: if you're not emphasizing that and showing those things in practice,

991
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 5: and you're not doing something drastic to get that point across,

992
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 5: then it's just another quote, another saying.

993
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: Right, So, ball is the program. Our players take.

994
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 5: The ball from the chin position and hand the ball

995
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 5: to a manager and practice. We stopped practice last week

996
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 5: because somebody tossed the ball literally for me to George.

997
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 5: They just tossed the ball and that's it. We stopped practice.

998
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,479
Speaker 5: And you would have thought that somebody did something horrifically wrong,

999
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 5: like horrifically wrong. But you can't compromise that. Teams that

1000
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 5: compromise lose. You cannot compromise with yourself, nor can you

1001
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 5: compromise against the culture of what we're all teaching, including myself.

1002
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 5: So when you start to compromise, you start to fade

1003
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 5: and things start getting to be a little laxadaisical. You

1004
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 5: can't create that as a CEO or as a head

1005
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 5: football coach or a business leader, Like, you can't create

1006
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 5: that it's okay, it's okay this time.

1007
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: It is or it isn't.

1008
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 5: And once it isn't, then you start to lose all

1009
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 5: the things that you've created over the years.

1010
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: So it's really important to us.

1011
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 5: And then when you see us in the game, our guys,

1012
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 5: you know, are handing the ball the official and it

1013
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 5: just again it goes back to the.

1014
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: Ball as a program. How important that really is. I

1015
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: feel like the officials don't appreciate that as much as

1016
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: they should. They sure not.

1017
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 4: I should be giving a call it because you watch

1018
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 4: other guys balld are flying all over the place, they

1019
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 4: have to turn around pick it up. You're guys throwing

1020
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 4: it at him. Yeah, it's just right in the pocket

1021
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 4: every time.

1022
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: Do you I have not gotten one? Thank you.

1023
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 3: I was wondering if is the ref ever come over

1024
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 3: like usually that's what an umpire and then the side

1025
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 3: or whatever. We appreciate it, guy, that's awesome. Yeah, it's

1026
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 3: easy for us. Make sorry we missed the hold. Yeah yeah, sorry,

1027
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 3: we picked up the flash. Sorry sorry sorry. Jamison Gears

1028
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 3: was being molested and they didn't call a penalty on it,

1029
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 3: or they did call a penalty and then the other

1030
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 3: guy talked him out of it.

1031
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: You know, I take responsibility for sending us down this bro,

1032
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: the guy with the back turned.

1033
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, the guy that had no angle whatsoever, exactly.

1034
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1035
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 5: I didn't understand that one at all. I was not anyway.

1036
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: Just hand him the ball back better next time.

1037
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, we must not be doing it enough, you know.

1038
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe that's it. No, I've never I've never heard of,

1039
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 5: thank you. I wonder why.

1040

1127
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 3: to know that new roster, and I know they're very

1128
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 3: excited about it. So I think we've covered everything on that.

1129
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 3: Let's also chat a little bit. You hit on Purdue

1130
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 3: about the fact that they have, you know, their three

1131
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 3: losses or all the teams that have been or are

1132
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 3: currently ranked in the Big Ten. That's not that uncommon

1133
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 3: that you play a bunch of good teams. They come

1134
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 3: in at two and three last week. You know, you

1135
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 3: watch that game against Illinois, they fumbled the punt deep

1136
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 3: in their own territory. They had a fourth down deep

1137
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 3: in their own territory, and so Illinois had the benefit

1138
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 3: of a couple of short fields. So what do you

1139
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 3: see from the Boilermakers.

1140
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, they're really well coach. Coach Odom

1141
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 5: does a tremendous job. Been a head coach numerous places

1142
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 5: and had success anywhere he's been. I got a lot

1143
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 5: of respect for him, got a chance to be around

1144
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 5: him in the offseason, and tons of respect for him.

1145
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 5: He's a defensive minded coach. Defense just plays incredibly aggressive offense.

1146
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,919
Speaker 5: It all runs through their quarterback, Number sixteen, the Brown Kid,

1147
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 5: and he produces everywhere. I mean, he can beat you

1148
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 5: with his feet, hit his arm, he throws on the

1149
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 5: run really well. For their tailback, he's been around the league.

1150
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 5: You'll know when you see him. He's been around the

1151
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 5: league for a long time. He's got over thirty five

1152
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 5: hundred yards. You'd be glad when he graduates. I sure

1153
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 5: will be so hard to bring down.

1154
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: And he's a really gifted tailback.

1155
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 5: I think he's one of the best tailbacks in the

1156
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 5: Big Ten when you evaluate what he does, the contact balance,

1157
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 5: the broken tackles, the type of game he has It

1158
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,359
Speaker 5: kind of reminds you of a little Darius taylor Field

1159
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 5: because he does so much in the past game in

1160
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 5: the run game, they got four really explosive receivers. You know,

1161
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 5: they run the ball really well, and defensively they're they're aggressive.

1162
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 5: So we're gonna have to play our best game of

1163
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 5: the year that we've played up to this point. But

1164
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 5: I know our guys are up for the challenge. But

1165
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 5: it's going to be in a really exciting game, that's

1166
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 5: for sure, and really really good opponent.

1167
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 3: Any good insight from Drew Bibber who was with that program.

1168
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: For a while.

1169
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 5: They've got so much turnover over there, so not really no,

1170
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 5: I mean, but we're excited for Drew and.

1171
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: He had a nice game last week. He did he's

1172
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: getting better for a weeks ago, Yeah, he's getting better

1173
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: by the week.

1174
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 5: His role continues to get bigger and bigger, and just

1175
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 5: excited for him to have that opportunity.

1176
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: Well, very good. He is your head coach.

1177
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,080
