I'm 19 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 3: sure she's listening, so I'm sure she's cackling, laughing and smiling, 20 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 3: So I appreciate that let me also add I've never 21 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 3: been introduced by the Raspberries bumper music so outstanding seven 22 00:01:58,960 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: early seventies choice. 23 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: Thank you, absolutely fantastic. First off, how exciting was that 24 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: game on Thursday night, Mike PETRELLI was? It was spectacular, 25 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: It really was. It was well played. 26 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: Yes, there were a few penalties called chick, but you 27 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 3: expect that on a short week when execution is not 28 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: always at peak level. I would say, I think that's 29 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 3: fair to say. But in terms of the offensive execution, 30 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 3: it was great to see a gun slinging shootout for 31 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 3: the final three quarters of that game. I must tell 32 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 3: you early on I had my doubts ten to nothing Pittsburgh, 33 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 3: and it felt like Pittsburgh was putting the Bengals in 34 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: a meat grinder and kind of do the slow grind, 35 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 3: slow boil of the Bengals when that game started. But 36 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 3: when the Bengals got the two runs from Chase Brown 37 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 3: of twenty seven and thirty seven yards and started to 38 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 3: pry open that Pittsburgh defensive line, eyebrows were raised and like, well, 39 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 3: we haven't seen this before. 40 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: Really at all this year. 41 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: And when that started to happen and the Bengals started 42 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 3: to get the short passing game going, and then Flacco 43 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: found Jamar and t before halftime for touchdowns. I started 44 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 3: to think to myself, well, now I think they have 45 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: an offensive rhythm. And you know, the second half was 46 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,839 Speaker 3: just back and forth. Neither team could really stop each 47 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: other in the third quarter, and then for the Bengals 48 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 3: to give up the lead and then come right down 49 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 3: the field and win the game. And you saw hetty 50 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 3: play from T Higgins. Kudos to Doug Rossveld, and I 51 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: know Ted Kerris made mention in this to me after 52 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 3: the game. They knew what they were doing situationally, and 53 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 3: that's the reason they won the game. 54 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: They were able to kill. 55 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: Most of the remaining you know, minute and fifteen seconds, 56 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: twenty seconds. When T Higgins made that sliding catch. 57 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: I've never been so happy. 58 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: Mike PETRELLI up to see Aaron Rodgers hook up with 59 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: that tight end that kills the Bengals with two and 60 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: a half minutes to go. I said, yeah, that hurts, 61 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: but there's still plenty of time to go down and 62 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: wipe out that wipe out that one one point lead. 63 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 64 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 3: And I had the same kind of feeling, chick that 65 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 3: Pat Fryarmouth kills the Bengals two more touchdowns, both in 66 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 3: the second half on Thursday night. I think he's had 67 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: something like two hundred and twenty five two hundred and 68 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: thirty yards against the Bengals in his last two seasons, 69 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 3: and he's just been a Bengal killer. But when I 70 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 3: looked up and saw whatever it was to eighteen to 71 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: go in the game and thought to myself, well, Flacco 72 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 3: has an offensive rhythm behind him. This Bengal offense is 73 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 3: finally playing with a degree of confidence and they only 74 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: need a field goal. And Evan McPherson has his mojo 75 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 3: back this season. That's another thing that I think kind 76 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 3: of got lost on Thursday night. Evan McPherson was four 77 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 3: for four and he's back to the form that he 78 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: was in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two. But 79 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 3: as soon as I saw that there was not much 80 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 3: time left after the sixty eight yard touchdown pass, I thought, well, 81 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 3: the Bengals definitely have a chance if they play this right, 82 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 3: to kill out the clock and kick the field goal. 83 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: Mike Petralia with us following on Twitter at trags and 84 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: loved your story on Clnssincy dot com Bengals beat for 85 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: one night. Joe Flacco reignites the Bengals explosive offense. Now, 86 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: Mike Petrellia, how can it continue for the rest of 87 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: the season. 88 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 3: The offensive line needs to play the way they did. 89 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 3: I mean, it's not going to be perfect for the 90 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 3: rest of the year, but they need to play with 91 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: physicality that was missing in the first five games of 92 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: the season. There's no doubt for six games of the season, 93 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 3: and there's no doubt that's why they struggled offensively in 94 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: those games. And I think the other thing that needs 95 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 3: to happen is they have to be committed to running 96 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 3: the football. If you can run the football effectively, doesn't 97 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 3: mean you have to run it twenty five or thirty 98 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: times a game. If you can run it effectively and 99 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 3: with purpose fifteen to twenty maybe twenty two times a game. 100 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 3: And give Joe Flacco the option of play action and 101 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 3: he is maybe not Boomer a Sizin level, but he's 102 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: pretty darn close in terms of his ability to sell 103 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 3: play action pass. The Bengals are going to have a 104 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 3: chance to really start to get their offense going, and 105 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 3: you're going up against the Jets and the Bears. Look, 106 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 3: every team has a good defensive front, but those two 107 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 3: teams are inconsistent. And I think with those two teams 108 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 3: coming into pay Corps, you have a chance here to 109 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 3: really get Flaco some offensive rhythm, get the defense. Well, 110 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 3: they need to certainly work on some things during this 111 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 3: mini buy and going into next week against the Jets. 112 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 3: But the thing that is going to get Flaco and 113 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 3: the offense are allow it to continue what it did 114 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: on Thursday night is the offensive line playing at the 115 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 3: level it did Thursday night. 116 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: Totally agree Mike Petrellium. I can't the nickname Joe Cool 117 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: is already taken by Joe Burrow. So love the Joe 118 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: calm that the offensive coaches have labeled on Joe Flacco. Now, 119 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: I will say that these two teams, the Steelers and 120 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: the Bengals, they turned pay Course Stadium into Geriatric Park. 121 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: That was just an unbelievable performance really by both quarterbacks. 122 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: How much confidence does this give Joe Flacco and the Bengals. 123 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 4: It's a great point. 124 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 3: And by the way, may I add that Joe Cool, 125 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: what Joe Flacco was Joe Cool originally? Just to be fair, 126 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 3: It's just so we're actually and historically accurate here, chick. 127 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 3: But the thing that I think we need to take 128 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 3: from the two performances on Thursday night is that Aaron 129 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 3: Rodgers was going to do what he did within the 130 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 3: confines of throwing to his tight ends. He went deep 131 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 3: a couple of times, but he loved the short passing game. 132 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 3: And I thought when we saw what Joe Flacco, yes, 133 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: what Joe Flacco was able to do with Chase Brown 134 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 3: and get the wide receivers open in space, you know, 135 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 3: ten to fifteen yards down the field, the most important 136 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: takeaway to me was if Flacco was not holding onto 137 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 3: the ball. Joe Burrow is a gifted generational quarterback. He 138 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 3: can read things before the snap that very few others 139 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 3: that have ever played the game can do. And he 140 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 3: can do it without a wristband. I mean, he has 141 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 3: just a photographic memory, there's no question about it. But 142 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 3: he likes to hold on to the football, and he 143 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: likes to hold onto it so he can see plays 144 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 3: develop and wait till the last second. Joe Flacco is 145 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 3: not that quarterback. He likes to one, two, maybe a 146 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 3: third progression, but he's going to get rid of the 147 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 3: ball and if he doesn't like what he sees. You 148 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 3: saw it a couple of times Thursday night, He's going 149 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 3: to throw it into the ground out of harm's way 150 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 3: and live to play another down. And I think that's 151 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: the difference between the two. And everything went right for 152 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 3: Flacco on Thursday night. And it's easy to say, well, 153 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 3: why doesn't Joe Burrow get rid of the ball that fast? Well, 154 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 3: it's not the way he plays the game. It's not 155 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 3: the way he sees the game. So you know, before people, 156 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 3: you know, jump the conclusions that you know, Joe Burrow 157 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 3: needs to play the way Flaco plays. That's not realistic, 158 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: and Zach Taylor doesn't want him doing that, but it is. 159 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 3: It does show you that Flacco has the ability to 160 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: adjust his game and get rid of the ball. Most importantly, 161 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: Chick activate the two most talented players on their offense, 162 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 3: and that is Jamar Chase and t Higgins. Get the 163 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 3: ball to them as quickly as possible and let them 164 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 3: make plays up the field. 165 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: I can only imagine what Joe Flacco is thinking now 166 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: that he's in Cincinnati for just over gosh, you know, 167 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: coming up on just two weeks here. But to have 168 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: those two guys and others tight ends, you know at 169 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: his disposal in his arsenal. Gosh, finding the fountain of youth, man, 170 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: it's awesome. 171 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 3: Well, well, you know what, I'll hope that fountain of 172 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 3: youth youth is a couple of drops of Jamar Chase 173 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 3: no pun intended. What other metaphor should I use? 174 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 2: A couple of. 175 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 3: Doses of Jamar Chase and T Higgins in that pond? 176 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: Because if you have guys like that to throw the 177 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: ball to which he did not have, uh in Cleveland, Uh, 178 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 3: it's going to make you look that much better as 179 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 3: a quarterback. And I think that's what Flacco and he 180 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: acknowledged that after the game the other night. He has 181 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: the ability to throw to two very very gifted receivers 182 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 3: and put them in positions to make plays. 183 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: The front office has often taken a lot of heat 184 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: with draft picks with the free agents coming in, but 185 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 1: it's it's you mentioned it giving them credit for really 186 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: scanning the you know, the entire NFL, who can help 187 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: us the most and man to pull off that trade 188 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: with Cleveland Browns, fans have to be absolutely up in arms. 189 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: But to credit the front office because like you mentioned 190 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: in your story. Flacco has something you can't teach, and 191 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: that is a canon. 192 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 4: Arm, correct, And that is an arm that Joe I'm sorry, 193 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 4: Zach Taylor was looking for to as he likes to say, 194 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 4: and I've said this often, drive. 195 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 2: The ball downfield. 196 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 3: You want you not only want to get the ball 197 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 3: to Jamar Chase, but you want to drive it vertically 198 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: as much as possible, as much as the defense will 199 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 3: allow you to do that. 200 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 2: Drive the ball up the field. 201 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 3: Uh so that uh Chase and t Higgins have momentum 202 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 3: behind him when they catch the ball and have the 203 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 3: ability to turn up field. Both of them have proven 204 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 3: they can do that at the drop of a hat. 205 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 3: And so that is tremendous. All you have to do 206 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 3: to hear how upset Cleveland fans are is and personality 207 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 3: sports radio personalities are in Cleveland has turned on the 208 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 3: media up I seventy one and they are pretty outraged. 209 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: I don't know if there is outraged as Mike Tomlin 210 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: was last Monday when he said, what are you doing, 211 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 3: Andrew Berry? But Andrew Berry has to do what he 212 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 3: feels is in his best interest and in the best 213 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 3: interest of the Browns franchise going forward. And to be 214 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 3: fair to Andrew Berry, Andrew Berry does not have Jamar, 215 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 3: Chase and t Haiggins on his roster, and nor does 216 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 3: he really have Chase Brown, and he doesn't have a 217 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 3: lot of speed weapons. The defense is terrific. The defense 218 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 3: has lots of speed and playmakers, but the offense does not. 219 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 3: And Jerry Judy is not what he should have been 220 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 3: coming out of Alabama, and that's his best receiving option. 221 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: And that's not going to make Joe Flacco turn into 222 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 3: Tom Brady or Peyton Manning overnight. 223 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: So Andrew Berry had to take a look. 224 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 3: At what his roster was, pick up the best trading 225 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 3: ship he could, and that was a fifth round pick, 226 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 3: and move forward. 227 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,479 Speaker 1: Unbelievable to think that Joe Flacco has thrown five touchdowns, 228 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: no picks, in five hundred passing yards in two games 229 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: in his first two starts with the Bengals, and like 230 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: you mentioned in your story, hasn't happened before. 231 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 2: Ever. 232 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 3: When I read that, and I did some of my 233 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 3: own research on that, I couldn't believe it. I mean, 234 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 3: I was blown away that no quarterback over the course 235 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 3: of the long the litany of quarterbacks that have played 236 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 3: in the history of the National Football League. You would 237 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 3: have figured some hot shot would have been that hot 238 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 3: coming out in his first two starts. Not accurate, and 239 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 3: it's never happened. I just think that's pretty amazing and 240 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 3: good again for Joe Flacco. And you know, I don't 241 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 3: want people jumping off the bandwagon. If he has a 242 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 3: bad quarter or a bad half kind of like he 243 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 3: did in the first half against Green Bay. That can happen. 244 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 3: But the important thing watching Joe Flacco is his ability 245 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 3: not to put the ball in harm's way, and that 246 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 3: was the fundamental problem with Jake Browning. He had six 247 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 3: touchdown passes and he brought the team back in that 248 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: critical win over Jacksonville, which could very much be proved 249 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 3: to be a critical win towards the end of the 250 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 3: season if the Bengals are in it. He threw six 251 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: touchdown passes, but he also threw eight interceptions, and that's 252 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 3: not a ratio that any competitive contending team can live 253 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: with at their starting quarterback position. 254 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: Mike Petrelli with us just for a couple more minutes, 255 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: and you're absolutely right. The offensive line played its best 256 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: game on Thursday night, got the running game going. The 257 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: best friend for a quarterback and if that can continue, 258 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: and if the defense can continue to improve and create turnovers, 259 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: and that's how they've won. 260 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 2: You know, on defense, with the turnovers in their three victories. 261 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 3: Chick, they've got to be able to tackle better. They 262 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 3: are one of the worst tackling teams in the National 263 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 3: Football League. And combine that with they are one of 264 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 3: the worst pass rush win rate teams in the NFL. 265 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 3: In terms of defensively getting after the quarterback, that's disaster. 266 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 3: And you saw what a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers that's 267 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 3: going to do to you. He gave you two picks. 268 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 3: One was a deflection. But again the Bengals made great plays. 269 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 3: DJ Turner's interception was clutch. I mean, I was a 270 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 3: remarkable play. 271 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: On DK metcalf. 272 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 3: But you've got to be able to bring ball carriers 273 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 3: to the ground. 274 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 2: They've done a poor job. 275 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 3: At the last couple of weeks, and that, unfortunately is 276 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 3: a reminder of what got the Bengals into TRUP. In 277 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 3: a lot of great portions, great segments of last year 278 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 3: as well, they just didn't tackle well. And we thought, 279 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 3: and I think early on that the Bengals had addressed that. 280 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 3: But last couple of games they have allowed I think 281 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: over three hundred yards and mistackled, miss tackles, and I 282 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 3: think they've had something like thirty four miss tackles in 283 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 3: the last two games. 284 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: That's got to be cleaned up one way or another 285 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 2: by Al Golden, no doubt about that. 286 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: And gosh, I wish we had more time to talk baseball, 287 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: because that's how good you have to be to get 288 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: to the World Series, you know, facing the lost like 289 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the great season that Milwaukee had, 290 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: They're gone in four games. 291 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: Just incredible. Mike. 292 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but Shohei Otani's performance last 293 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 3: night has to be I'm not going to say it's 294 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 3: the greatest, but certainly has to be in the discussion 295 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 3: of top five performances all time, right up there with 296 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 3: Reggie Jackson in Game six of the seventy seven World Series. 297 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 3: That's what came to my mind anyway. But Reggie Jackson 298 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 3: was not the winning picture, and he was not you know, 299 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 3: in terms of great picture. He wasn't Roger Clemens in 300 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 3: that game. 301 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 2: Was Reggie Jackson? 302 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 3: Last night, watching that game was like watching Reggie Jackson 303 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 3: and Roger Clemens in the same game as the same player. 304 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 4: That's how great it was. 305 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: That's right. He may not be the greatest of all time, 306 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: but it's sure. Don't take long to call roll. Didn't 307 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: that right?

But 329 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 5: I always like coming to the broadcast booth.

I'm so used to talking 334 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 5: to him before a game, seeing him, hanging out with 335 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 5: him and all that. And I'm sure that the guys 336 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 5: will talk about it during the broadcast, but Jim's really missed. 337 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 5: It's a neat thing that you see is doing with 338 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 5: their helmets today, the white helmets. They have the number 339 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,239 Speaker 5: seven on the back with the microphone logo. And I 340 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 5: hope I don't have any say so, but I hope 341 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 5: at some point in nipperd State you can seeing number 342 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 5: seven with a microphone under the broadcast booth. 343 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: That is so true. Man, missing Jim Kelly Junior, no doubt. 344 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: And on the broadcast tonight, of course, the voice of 345 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: the UC Bearcats Stan hoard with Tony Pike and with 346 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: Moeger looking forward to the broadcast tonight and Scott I 347 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: find myself doing some scoreboard watching here Arizona State with 348 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: in the final minute here the third quarter leads number 349 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: seven Texas Tech sixteen to seven at Arizona State. 350 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 2: So Utah is at BYU tonight. 351 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: The number twenty three ranked Utes at the number fifteen 352 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: rank Cougars, So man, there could be a little shaken 353 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: up at the top of the Big Twelve standings here. 354 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: This game is really important tonight for the UC Bearcats. 355 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 5: Well, it was important to begin with because this could 356 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 5: be win number six, which makes you Bowl eligible. Now, 357 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 5: that's not their goal, their long term goal. You walk 358 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 5: into the Shafety Performance Center and every week they have 359 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 5: three or four goals, but the last one is always 360 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 5: get to Dallas, which technically Arlington, but Jerry's world, that's 361 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 5: where the Big Twelve Championship game will be played, and 362 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 5: that's December the sixth, on a Saturday. 363 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 2: That's their ultimate goal. 364 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 5: And if things like that happen, if Texas Tech gets 365 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 5: knocked off, if you see takes care of business, if 366 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 5: who knows what happens in the Holy War between Utah 367 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 5: and BYU. That's probably where a game they should have 368 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 5: been today, quite honestly. But that's a heck of a game. 369 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 5: And I don't know. The Big twelve football is becoming 370 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 5: as entertaining is VIC twelve basketball, and it's a neat league. 371 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 5: It's I've told people to try to be patient because 372 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 5: you were judging what happened here in the past from 373 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 5: the AAC. This is a much more difficult league. I'm 374 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 5: not sure you know. And you can look at what 375 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 5: Luke Fickle's done in Wisconsin, and Luke Fickle had great 376 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 5: players here and those were great times, but I'm not 377 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 5: sure those teams would have done as well in the 378 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 5: Big Twelve. Certainly, some of those guys were pros, and 379 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 5: they've got great reputations. 380 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 2: They've proved themselves. 381 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 5: But I think this league is a lot better than 382 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 5: people realize. 383 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 2: No doubt. 384 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: Scott Springer with us from The Enquirer and Cincinnati dot 385 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: Com of the opening lost in Nebraska twenty to seventeen, 386 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: then Victory's over Bowling Green and Northwestern State, and then 387 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve Kansas, Ioways State and the Cyclones were 388 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: ranked fourteenth at the time, and then UCF last week 389 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: man a defensive struggle, twenty to eleven victory for the 390 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: UC Bearcats. Now it's Oklahoma State team that's been down, 391 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: that they've gotten rid of their coach, and man, this 392 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: cannot be a trap game. 393 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 2: You see. 394 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: Has to come out strong early and try to put 395 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: these guys away, punch. 396 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 5: Them in the mouth. Everybody has a plan until they 397 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 5: get punched in the mouth, said Mike Tyson. He's a genius. 398 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 5: I think, yeah, there may be some gamesmanship at quarterback. 399 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 5: Sam Jackson, the fifth who was a wide receiver but 400 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 5: played last week, is slated to start, but they put 401 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 5: out their list injury list, you know, an hour and 402 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 5: a half before game, and they've got Zane Flores as 403 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 5: game time decision. So he was a kid that was 404 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 5: questionable early. He was the starter early in the season, 405 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 5: so they could have two choices at quarterback. It might 406 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 5: be a smoke sprain. It's hard to say, but that's 407 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 5: something to look for tonight with if it's Zane Flora 408 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 5: as a quarterback or Sam Jackson. Sam Jackson primarily ran, 409 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 5: but he did throw. Okay, They've oddly had like eight 410 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 5: different guys throw passes this year other quarterbacks. They got 411 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 5: a dude playing quarterback for him that they pulled out 412 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 5: a UCF that hadn't even played football for a year 413 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 5: and he got into a game. But you know, it's homecoming. 414 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 5: Weather's nice here. It's gonna cool down later on. But 415 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 5: like you said, you mentioned the word trap, and this 416 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 5: could be if you let them have momentum. The key 417 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 5: is not letting them have momentum. Jump out to the 418 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 5: quick start, get things done early, and you know, get 419 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 5: the running game going, which they had a little problem 420 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 5: last week against UCF. That was such an odd game. 421 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 5: But you know, you held UCF to eleven points, which 422 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 5: was the least amount of points they've had since twenty fifteen. 423 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 5: And today they put forty five on West Virginia. So 424 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 5: the defense played decent. You're going to need more defense 425 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 5: tonight and hopefully a lot more offense. And you know, 426 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 5: two years ago they're here against a really good team. 427 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 5: It's ten to seven at halftime and then got out 428 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 5: of control. Ollie Gordon's still running. Yeah, but dude, Carter 429 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 5: Brown was the uc kicker, missed the twenty three yard 430 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 5: field goal before or half, could have been ten to 431 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 5: ten at halftime and then it winds up. I think 432 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 5: it was forty five thirteen. So certainly that was a 433 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 5: nightmare on you know, on Elm Street or whatever street 434 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 5: we're on here around boon Picking Stadium. But it was Halloween, 435 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 5: it was wet, it was nasty. It's around the same 436 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 5: time of year here. But this is a game that 437 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 5: U see really had to take care of business. And 438 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 5: from a pal Jim Kelly, I. 439 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 2: Hope they do. 440 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: Whenever you bring in, you know, new players, especially the 441 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: wide receivers that you see has this year, you know 442 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some It's going to need time to 443 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: get in sync with Brendan Soresby the quarterback. They seem 444 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: to just be kidding better each week. 445 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you saw last week where they shut 446 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 5: down Cyrus Allen, who kind of had been the go 447 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 5: to We only got you know, one pass last week. 448 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 5: But then Jeff Caldwell stepped up and made some plays 449 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 5: there in the first half. And Caldwell's kind of a 450 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 5: freak with his length and the jumping ability, and Caleb 451 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 5: Goody can and burn guys. And you know the sad 452 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 5: thing is you go back to that Nebraska game and 453 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 5: had that pass been you know, if you led Caleb 454 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 5: Goodie a little bit more on that, maybe that's a 455 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 5: touchdown and there's six and zero. But you don't get 456 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 5: to go back in those things. You have to go on. 457 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 5: But you're right. I think the receiving has been a 458 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 5: lot better. I think Joe Royer is a thread every 459 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 5: time he gets the ball, and the poor guys stumbled 460 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 5: and missed a touchdown last week, and he nearly had 461 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 5: a long one also, but I think he was disappointed 462 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 5: he didn't get into the end zone. So maybe this 463 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 5: is when he does. 464 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: Arizona State goes to the fourth quarter at home with 465 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: a sixteen to seven lead over Texas Tech. This could 466 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: be just monumental here and so gosh, scoreboard watching tonight, 467 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: But what are some keys here tonight for UC to 468 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: pull out this win over Oklahoma State? 469 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 5: Scott just obviously get him early, and you know, take 470 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 5: the crowd out of it. This is a crowd that 471 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 5: they've had parades and stuff. Eskimo Jo's is near so 472 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 5: that they might be well fortified. So take them out 473 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 5: of the game, send them home, send them back Eskimo Joes. 474 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 5: They have great cheese, right, so maybe they can get 475 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 5: a halftime special or something like that. But yeah, you 476 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 5: got to take the crowd out of the game and 477 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 5: take care of business and and don't act like you 478 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 5: know they're going to be jumping up and down if 479 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 5: they do win and if you are Bowl eligible, but 480 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 5: you know that's not the end goal. You want a 481 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 5: better Bowl. You want eventually to be in the Big 482 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 5: Twelve championship game. So you know, I'll give you Barry 483 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 5: Sanders reference and s he's a former Oklahoma State player, 484 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 5: But to act like you've been there. You know, I've 485 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 5: always always envied the way Barry Sanders scored touchdowns handed the. 486 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 2: Ref of the ball. 487 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 5: But just act like you do this every day, don't 488 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 5: don't get all worked up about it. 489 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: Well, play with a victory tonight for the Bearcats, and 490 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: just looking ahead at the schedule with Baylor coming in, 491 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: anything's possible. 492 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 5: They've lost today. Yes, yeah, Baylor lost to TCU forty 493 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 5: two thirty six. Watch some of that game and those 494 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 5: are two teams that you see has to play that. 495 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 5: You know, the schedule ahead is not necessarily easy. You 496 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 5: got Baylor next week, you wind up the season at TCU, 497 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 5: you go to Utah, November first, and then you've got 498 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 5: BYU in there also, so you might as well take 499 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 5: care of business now and then give yourself confidence for 500 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 5: those games coming up.
