WEBVTT - The Verdict: Nevada 0:00:05.130 --> 0:00:11.469 That is Wayne Cook, and that is the end of 0:00:11.490 --> 0:00:14.250 a 27-0 victory. The Bruins have given up 35 points 0:00:14.330 --> 0:00:17.050 total in their last five games. They are still alone 0:00:17.110 --> 0:00:19.770 at the top of the table in the Big Ten. 0:00:19.870 --> 0:00:23.150 And it's the first shutout since 2015. 0:00:23.150 --> 0:00:23.830 That went on the. 0:00:23.829 --> 0:00:26.230 Road at Oregon State. First one at home, as we mentioned, 0:00:26.250 --> 0:00:29.730 since they beat the Dennis Dixon-less Bruins. Oregon Ducks in 07. 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.559 That was a 16-0 win that derailed Oregon's hopes of 0:00:33.590 --> 0:00:35.710 a national title, if memory serves. 0:00:36.170 --> 0:00:37.930 This one just kind of reminds. 0:00:37.610 --> 0:00:41.030 Nevada that they're not quite ready for playing on the 0:00:41.070 --> 0:00:43.210 road in the Big Ten. And the Bruins, with a 0:00:43.310 --> 0:00:47.790 comfortable 27-0 win, they are indeed 8-0 for the first 0:00:47.830 --> 0:00:48.910 time since 2005. 0:00:48.909 --> 0:00:52.900 Yeah, they stuck to the run. They needed to stick 0:00:52.940 --> 0:00:53.360 to the run. 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.160 And this Nevada team in the third, fourth quarter finally 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:01.820 bent They were really committed to not letting Wayne Knight, 0:01:01.860 --> 0:01:05.560 Jet Thomas, and Anthony Woods get going. And then in 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.680 the passing game, UCLA in the second quarter ran the 0:01:08.740 --> 0:01:13.039 screens to the outside, and that finally loosened up that 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:14.020 Nevada secondary. 0:01:15.180 --> 0:01:18.180 It's another game where the opponent struggles to get to 0:01:18.180 --> 0:01:21.380 200 yards total. In fact, Nevada never did get there, 176. 0:01:21.380 --> 0:01:24.380 The Bruins didn't get much of their own. 0:01:24.420 --> 0:01:27.240 They got 303 for total yards, but they scored in 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:31.290 every quarter. They won the game 27 to nothing. So 0:01:31.330 --> 0:01:33.380 now we just do some scoreboard watching to see if 0:01:33.420 --> 0:01:36.120 there's more separation between the Bruins and everybody else. 0:01:36.140 --> 0:01:37.580 We'll go back to Wayne for now. 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:38.960 With Derek Barksdale. 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:39.260 Derek. 0:01:40.090 --> 0:01:41.770 You don't know this, but I've been calling you like 0:01:41.810 --> 0:01:43.589 the Swiss Army Knife all year because I feel like 0:01:43.610 --> 0:01:44.710 you do a little bit of everything. 0:01:45.190 --> 0:01:46.990 You got a pick six today. That had to feel great. 0:01:47.130 --> 0:01:47.390 Yes, sir. 0:01:47.450 --> 0:01:48.010 It felt great. 0:01:48.030 --> 0:01:50.130 You know, trusting in the guys and trusting the guys 0:01:50.190 --> 0:01:52.070 around me, allowing me to go make a play and 0:01:52.090 --> 0:01:53.470 then celebrate with me at the end of the day. 0:01:53.490 --> 0:01:54.040 I love it. 0:01:54.350 --> 0:01:56.390 I just told Sy here is the first shutout the 0:01:56.420 --> 0:01:57.780 school's had in 19 years. 0:01:57.940 --> 0:02:00.040 As a defensive player, that just got to feel great. 0:02:00.260 --> 0:02:00.560 Yes, sir. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:01.420 It definitely does. 0:02:01.700 --> 0:02:03.820 It just goes to a testament to all of our 0:02:03.860 --> 0:02:05.620 work that we put together, all the blood, sweat and 0:02:05.660 --> 0:02:07.800 tears that we go on the field and off the 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:08.400 field together. 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.740 So it's definitely a blessing. It's always a team game. 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.359 The pass rush was fantastic, which opens up, I mean, 0:02:13.419 --> 0:02:15.320 three picks in the first quarter. 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.139 That's incredible. Yeah, it's great. 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.970 You know, again, just goes back to our work and preparation. 0:02:19.990 --> 0:02:21.750 You know, all of our guys, we support each other 0:02:21.970 --> 0:02:23.910 and we play for each other, especially the name on 0:02:24.310 --> 0:02:26.169 our jersey. So it's a blessing to be out here 0:02:26.190 --> 0:02:26.989 to be with these guys. 0:02:27.310 --> 0:02:28.410 Derek, great game. Ain't no. 0:02:28.570 --> 0:02:29.030 Appreciate it. 0:02:29.050 --> 0:02:29.450 Yes, sir. 0:02:29.470 --> 0:02:30.649 All right, back to you guys. 0:02:30.950 --> 0:02:31.610 Thanks, Wayne. 0:02:31.690 --> 0:02:34.590 Four more takeaways. No fumbles were forced this time, but 0:02:34.610 --> 0:02:37.720 there were four picks in the game. The Bruins are 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:42.019 leading the nation in that department. They're best in takeaway 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.560 ratio as well, that turnover ratio. And it's getting silly 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.960 now with the defense. We mentioned 35 points total allowed 0:02:49.020 --> 0:02:52.090 now in the last five games. I'm not great at math, Wayne, 0:02:52.100 --> 0:02:53.950 but I do believe that's seven points a game. 0:02:54.530 --> 0:02:56.930 Well, you know, Scooter should have had his second interception 0:02:56.970 --> 0:02:59.030 of the game. He actually had one hit him right 0:02:59.070 --> 0:03:03.840 in the chest. But he had the early first interception. And, 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.269 you know, Jalen Woods, he had an interception as well. 0:03:07.910 --> 0:03:12.350 He's just so good in pass coverage and playing all 0:03:12.389 --> 0:03:14.919 over the place. And Trent Hendricks had a great game. 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:19.840 I thought open field tackles. The guy's a thumper. These 0:03:19.910 --> 0:03:21.920 linebackers of UCLA are just off the charts. 0:03:22.380 --> 0:03:25.899 And, again, on offense, it wasn't the most slick, most 0:03:25.980 --> 0:03:28.160 electric game. It's the first game this year where the 0:03:28.180 --> 0:03:30.820 Bruins didn't have a running back get into the end zone. 0:03:30.860 --> 0:03:33.910 The one running touchdown they had was from the quarterback, 0:03:33.970 --> 0:03:37.050 Ty Dieffenbach. But they had a pick six. They had 0:03:37.070 --> 0:03:39.430 the great defense. 27-0 is a happy. 0:03:39.150 --> 0:03:39.730 Final on Halloween. 0:03:43.170 --> 0:03:48.790 UCLA shuts out Nevada 27-0, and yes, the Bruins are 8-0. 0:03:48.870 --> 0:03:52.240 Josh Lewin, Matt Stevens with you. They held Nevada to 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:56.300 65 yards rushing on 35 attempts. That's the second straight 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.380 game where a team has come in here and rushed 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.600 for about two yards a carry, and if we look 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.440 up and down here just over the last few games, Matt, 0:04:05.020 --> 0:04:07.760 it's an average of around 200 yards total for these 0:04:07.810 --> 0:04:10.430 last several opponents, so you're just not going to do 0:04:10.490 --> 0:04:12.710 much against the Bruin defense, and that makes it to 0:04:12.750 --> 0:04:14.570 where you just have to do enough if you're the 0:04:14.590 --> 0:04:15.250 Bruins offense. 0:04:15.510 --> 0:04:18.300 Well, and the defensive line for UCLA really showed up today, 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.400 and if the defensive line can do their job, put 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.500 pressure on the opposing quarterback, with the speed of the 0:04:24.580 --> 0:04:28.330 linebackers of UCLA, they can make plays all over the 0:04:28.410 --> 0:04:32.390 front seven. And UCLA, they're going to get Roderick Pleasant 0:04:32.430 --> 0:04:36.630 back here pretty soon, hopefully for Minnesota. He's your lockdown 0:04:36.690 --> 0:04:39.529 corner on the outside. But we're seeing guys like Mason Rivera, 0:04:39.860 --> 0:04:42.760 who had a lot of playing time today. And Tayshaun 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.840 James was able to get a rest. He played well. 0:04:46.220 --> 0:04:49.580 And he's a physical guy that's only 6 foot and 0:04:49.580 --> 0:04:50.900 190 pounds. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.180 You want to hear something? I just figured this one out. 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.900 We opened the season with UCLA at Cal, right? 0:04:56.980 --> 0:04:57.799 And we watched. 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.430 26 completions go against the Bruins, which didn't really seem 0:05:01.450 --> 0:05:03.969 like a big deal because we knew Cal would open 0:05:03.990 --> 0:05:06.070 the throttle and we didn't really know what to expect 0:05:06.150 --> 0:05:09.599 out of the Bruin defense. But the last, let's see here, one, two, 0:05:09.630 --> 0:05:15.730 three games, 26 completions left. in three games instead of 0:05:15.810 --> 0:05:21.150 in one. The Bruins have allowed 26 completions to one, two, three, four, five, six, 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.620 seven different quarterbacks because nobody's got an answer on how. 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:26.719 To solve this Bruins defense. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.620 Yeah, I mean, the corner play, the safety play, I mean, 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.370 it's just been unbelievable. And UCLA, once they can go 0:05:33.390 --> 0:05:35.470 into their nickel defense and get a team in third 0:05:35.510 --> 0:05:38.210 and long, they go in there with their speed package, 0:05:38.270 --> 0:05:41.570 only speed rushing the pass, but speed at linebacker, speed 0:05:41.589 --> 0:05:44.500 at safety's, I mean, it's really tough if you're third 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.400 and long to get a first down against UCLA. 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.240 The Bruins will enter the game at Minnesota next week 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.990 either number one or number two in the nation in takeaways, interceptions, 0:05:54.529 --> 0:05:57.790 and turnover margin. They were already number one in fumble recoveries, 0:05:57.830 --> 0:06:01.409 though they didn't add to that today. But this defense now, 0:06:01.570 --> 0:06:04.870 more than anything, is really the national narrative, right? Because 0:06:04.890 --> 0:06:07.690 when you hold five straight teams to an average of 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.220 seven points, and you're playing in the Big Ten, I 0:06:10.260 --> 0:06:14.410 know today was non-conference, but... I mean, that's an attention-grabbing statistic. 0:06:14.630 --> 0:06:15.110 Yeah, P.J. 0:06:15.130 --> 0:06:17.170 Fleck, the Minnesota coach on Monday. The first thing that's 0:06:17.190 --> 0:06:18.750 going to come out of his mouth, we need to 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:19.580 take care of the football. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:20.400 All right? 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.120 We can't, you know, this Bruin football team, they take 0:06:23.180 --> 0:06:26.130 the football away. That's going to be our number one emphasis. 0:06:26.650 --> 0:06:28.570 is taking care of the football against these guys. That's 0:06:28.589 --> 0:06:30.839 going to be some kind of game at Minnesota. Burn 0:06:30.860 --> 0:06:34.140 the boats against row the boats. It'll be the P.J. 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:38.339 Fleck against Bob Chesney battle. And Bob Chesney right now 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.420 has got to be the odds-on favorite to be the 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.659 Paul Bear Bryant Coach of the Year. Yeah, Morgan Scali 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.270 at Utah will get some consideration. Will Stein at Kentucky. 0:06:47.610 --> 0:06:50.470 But the Bruins, who were picked 13th or 14th in 0:06:50.510 --> 0:06:52.290 this conference, are sitting on. 0:06:52.290 --> 0:06:52.920 Top of it at 8-0. 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.680 You know, I thought eight wins this year would have 0:06:55.700 --> 0:06:56.700 been great for UCLA. 0:06:56.779 --> 0:06:57.099 Agreed. 0:06:57.180 --> 0:06:58.960 However they did it, eight and four, man, I would 0:06:58.980 --> 0:07:01.560 have been like, oh, gosh, what a comeback. To have 0:07:01.779 --> 0:07:04.539 eight straight wins, you know, you've got to pinch yourself. 0:07:04.900 --> 0:07:05.839 I mean, it's just unbelievable. 0:07:05.940 --> 0:07:08.479 Well, and here's the thing, not to be that guy. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:10.560 It could still be eight and four because you've got 0:07:10.580 --> 0:07:11.160 to take care. 0:07:11.020 --> 0:07:11.900 Of business going forward. 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.870 Oh, you're being that guy. I am being that guy. 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.590 I'm just trying to, you know, bring it down to 0:07:15.770 --> 0:07:17.910 where it's realistic. I mean, but that's how the Bruins 0:07:17.950 --> 0:07:20.290 have to look at this. They can't rest on laurels. 0:07:20.330 --> 0:07:23.580 They can't get big heads about it. To be sure, 0:07:23.620 --> 0:07:27.680 when you're at Minnesota and at Michigan, those other defenses 0:07:27.700 --> 0:07:28.560 are going to come at you too. 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.190 It seems like forever since UCLA's been on the road 0:07:32.230 --> 0:07:33.710 as well. Yeah. 0:07:33.930 --> 0:07:36.150 And going on the road in Minnesota, you're going to 0:07:36.170 --> 0:07:39.770 be in cold weather. A team that really, they'll hit 0:07:39.790 --> 0:07:42.150 you in the mouth. And they're not going to make mistakes. 0:07:42.230 --> 0:07:42.590 P.J. 0:07:42.610 --> 0:07:44.950 Fleck's team, they do not commit a lot of penalties. 0:07:44.990 --> 0:07:48.330 They have great special teams. They're very well coached. So 0:07:48.350 --> 0:07:49.710 this is going to be a tough game for UCLA. 0:07:52.020 --> 0:07:56.820 Bob Chesney and the Bruins are a shining, shimmering, splendid 8-0. 0:07:57.180 --> 0:08:00.160 And I guess that is kind of a quote from 0:08:00.900 --> 0:08:01.739 the old song from. 0:08:01.660 --> 0:08:03.180 Aladdin, right? A whole new world. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.940 But that's where we're living right now. I can show 0:08:05.980 --> 0:08:09.350 you this thing if you want to. The Bruins are 0:08:09.490 --> 0:08:13.490 eight wins, no losses, and being taken very seriously as 0:08:13.530 --> 0:08:17.630 we get taken wonder by wonder over sideways and under 0:08:17.690 --> 0:08:19.010 on a magic carpet ride. 0:08:19.070 --> 0:08:20.030 Wayne Cook, this is fun. 0:08:20.690 --> 0:08:22.630 Don't you dare close your eyes. I think that's the 0:08:22.670 --> 0:08:24.870 line in that song, too. I'm like, I mean, come on. 0:08:24.970 --> 0:08:27.560 I mean, this is like it feels a little bit 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.830 like a dream. After what we've gone through, 8-0. And 0:08:32.170 --> 0:08:34.770 most of these games, we find moments where we're like, 0:08:35.210 --> 0:08:36.630 I wish we were a little bit better here or 0:08:36.670 --> 0:08:38.869 a little bit better there. But the beauty of it 0:08:38.910 --> 0:08:41.229 is we keep looking up at the scoreboard. We keep 0:08:41.290 --> 0:08:44.610 winning second halves. We keep having more energy than anybody 0:08:44.670 --> 0:08:47.030 else late in the game. And that's all a testament 0:08:47.070 --> 0:08:49.090 to this team and this coaching staff and how hard 0:08:49.110 --> 0:08:53.420 they work and how prepared they are. We also notice 0:08:53.500 --> 0:08:56.700 improvements in every game. There are changes that are being 0:08:56.740 --> 0:08:59.980 made by these coaches. It started pretty in the second 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.760 quarter offensively, and things got better. It was still a struggle. 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.480 The Nevada defense did a very, very good job. I 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.380 think the offense is going to have to be better. 0:09:08.980 --> 0:09:12.220 But like I said, they did enough, and they won 0:09:12.220 --> 0:09:13.599 27 to nothing. 0:09:14.059 --> 0:09:17.480 And it is a whole new world, a new fantastic 0:09:17.540 --> 0:09:21.540 point of view for us broadcaster types. You'll appreciate this, Wayne. 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.500 And this is why we missed Nick Cope. I just 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.420 dropped one of these cards that I'm supposed to read 0:09:26.580 --> 0:09:29.480 out the window. And of all cards who have dropped, 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:33.429 it's the one about... The fresh picks from Melissa's Produce. 0:09:34.270 --> 0:09:36.400 I mean, of all the ones to lose, because you 0:09:36.420 --> 0:09:38.240 know there's going to be interceptions every game. 0:09:38.260 --> 0:09:40.059 There were three in the first ten minutes of the 0:09:40.100 --> 0:09:40.679 game today. 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.860 What we were talking about, and I asked both defensive 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.760 players I talked to, and that stat is accurate. 0:09:46.820 --> 0:09:48.579 First shutout in 19 years? 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.210 Well, first home shutout in 19 years. 0:09:50.230 --> 0:09:52.030 Okay, so I might have to add that in, but 0:09:52.050 --> 0:09:54.650 that's okay. We can take first home shutout. But the 0:09:54.750 --> 0:09:57.270 idea is that I can't remember a time where we've 0:09:57.309 --> 0:09:59.950 had three interceptions in one quarter, or let alone the first. 0:10:00.059 --> 0:10:01.740 First quarter of a game. That's pretty insane. 0:10:02.100 --> 0:10:04.219 Yeah, I mean, we thought when the Bruins kept taking 0:10:04.260 --> 0:10:06.920 it away at Maryland, that was just kind of a 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.819 weird one-off, but now it's more like we expect it. 0:10:11.790 --> 0:10:14.570 The first one is out and then you get another 0:10:14.610 --> 0:10:17.930 and then another. It was four picks total today. The 0:10:17.970 --> 0:10:21.210 Bruins now lead the nation in that department. They were 0:10:21.270 --> 0:10:25.010 leading in forced fumbles coming into today. And yeah, they're 0:10:25.330 --> 0:10:26.890 leading a lot of people in a lot of things 0:10:26.929 --> 0:10:29.459 right now on the defensive side of the football. That 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.780 Purdue game, which really scared us quite a bit, right? 0:10:32.820 --> 0:10:33.360 Right at the end of. 0:10:33.380 --> 0:10:37.800 September where Purdue scored 38. I think it really woke 0:10:37.820 --> 0:10:40.340 the Bruins up because in the next five games that 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.329 have been played, Collectively, the opponents don't have 38. 0:10:44.330 --> 0:10:47.670 But what's been so fun is they learn. So you 0:10:47.710 --> 0:10:50.590 think about that game. We were still bringing everybody, and 0:10:50.630 --> 0:10:52.689 we were leaving a lot of one-on-one coverage on the 0:10:52.730 --> 0:10:55.530 back end. And if we didn't get to that quarterback, 0:10:56.050 --> 0:10:59.340 he was making plays downfield. Sometimes you can't do that. 0:10:59.380 --> 0:11:01.000 It took a little while in that game for us 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.280 to be maybe a little bit less aggressive and play 0:11:03.300 --> 0:11:06.300 a little bit more coverage. But since that moment, and 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.459 I feel like this has happened on both the offensive 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:09.859 and the defensive side of the ball. 0:11:10.750 --> 0:11:13.230 We're just good at making adjustments and we. 0:11:13.510 --> 0:11:15.410 Good coaching staff. You don't have to wait till halftime. 0:11:15.809 --> 0:11:17.130 You don't have to wait till the end of. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:17.840 The first quarter. 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.410 You make it as you notice it. 0:11:20.500 --> 0:11:21.840 And it was little things. 0:11:22.380 --> 0:11:26.420 So defensively and the other thing is to the depth, Josh, 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.119 the amount of players I was talking about it with Sire. 0:11:30.540 --> 0:11:33.400 There are so many guys when you look up. that 0:11:33.420 --> 0:11:36.620 are getting after the quarterback and being aggressive. And it 0:11:36.660 --> 0:11:39.860 just makes life miserable. Like, I think you read a 0:11:39.900 --> 0:11:41.920 stat where you said that the quarterback had only been 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.130 hurried or hit twice or whatever. But when you're a 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.569 quarterback and there's someone in your face the entire game, 0:11:49.010 --> 0:11:52.790 you're miserable. It just makes the game very, very, very difficult. 0:11:53.190 --> 0:11:56.969 And this defense has just absolutely been getting after it. 0:11:56.990 --> 0:11:59.030 And so it's been fun to watch. And we're going 0:11:59.050 --> 0:12:02.190 to transition right now, Josh, because I do have Coach Chesney. 0:12:02.290 --> 0:12:02.650 Excellent. 0:12:04.110 --> 0:12:07.740 He's going to put on the headphones. First of all, Coach, 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.679 just congratulations. We're 8-0, which is really hard to do 0:12:11.740 --> 0:12:15.030 in college football, and that is an absolute accomplishment. 0:12:15.230 --> 0:12:18.130 Yep, 100%. It's not, you know, it is what it is. 0:12:18.210 --> 0:12:20.250 I think that for us, though, to walk out of 0:12:20.270 --> 0:12:23.199 here with this victory and play some good football at moments. 0:12:23.610 --> 0:12:26.210 And be 8-0, like, you know, we're pretty proud of that. 0:12:26.290 --> 0:12:28.090 And I already know you're saying we didn't get this 0:12:28.130 --> 0:12:30.290 far to get this far, and I agree. You don't 0:12:30.330 --> 0:12:31.990 know this, but I share some of your stuff with 0:12:32.030 --> 0:12:34.610 my class. I teach eighth graders, and I put it 0:12:34.650 --> 0:12:34.810 up there. 0:12:34.830 --> 0:12:35.450 Don't share my language. 0:12:35.929 --> 0:12:38.650 Not the language. I think we got that. We dumped that. 0:12:38.690 --> 0:12:41.870 I don't think anybody made it to the air. Let's 0:12:41.890 --> 0:12:43.890 just start right off. You know I like to talk 0:12:43.929 --> 0:12:46.910 about offense, but defense was just absolute. I don't know 0:12:47.010 --> 0:12:50.420 if I can remember a time where three interceptions in 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:51.859 the first quarter, Coach. 0:12:51.900 --> 0:12:52.679 That's pretty impressive. 0:12:53.050 --> 0:12:54.709 Yeah, well, I think we knew that we had to 0:12:54.750 --> 0:12:56.579 try to get some pressure on this quarterback and hit 0:12:56.620 --> 0:12:58.160 him and get him to throw the ball out early 0:12:58.179 --> 0:13:01.240 and obviously to start off very early in the game 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.939 with an interception and then have the pick six. 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:04.960 All big deal. 0:13:05.020 --> 0:13:08.099 Put 10 points ultimately on the board. And I thought 0:13:08.140 --> 0:13:10.720 just the stops that we showed up with in moments 0:13:10.740 --> 0:13:13.160 that mattered. Some of the deep balls are not great. 0:13:13.330 --> 0:13:15.730 Obviously getting boxed out a little bit is a problem. 0:13:15.770 --> 0:13:17.790 The one pass interference is a problem on the third down. 0:13:17.809 --> 0:13:19.070 There were moments we had to get off the field. 0:13:19.460 --> 0:13:21.420 And we just didn't do it on defense. But overall, 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.680 when it mattered the most, they buckled down and did. 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:24.140 What they had to do. 0:13:24.380 --> 0:13:26.300 I had a chance to interview Derek on the field. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.940 And Barksdale is one of those guys that I've been 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:30.740 calling the Swiss Army Knife all year. And I know 0:13:30.780 --> 0:13:32.920 people that hasn't caught on, but it should because I 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.380 feel like he can do a little bit of everything. 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.590 And he's just it's great to give him some praise 0:13:37.950 --> 0:13:40.150 because he's always doing a good job. 0:13:40.170 --> 0:13:42.929 On special teams, on everything that we ask him to do. 0:13:43.650 --> 0:13:45.490 That's not the first pick six I saw of him either, 0:13:45.530 --> 0:13:47.530 by the way. This kid's done it before, and he's 0:13:47.570 --> 0:13:48.989 just that good of a football player. 0:13:49.450 --> 0:13:52.380 So we've talked before, and I'm not going to put 0:13:52.420 --> 0:13:53.880 words in your mouth, but I remember one of our 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.160 interviews before when it was a struggle to get the 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:56.840 run game going. 0:13:57.540 --> 0:13:59.400 And I've learned this about you. We're not going to 0:13:59.420 --> 0:14:01.200 go away from it. We're going to figure out how 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.620 to run the football. It's been consistent. 0:14:03.830 --> 0:14:06.450 Yeah, well, I think that, you know, it's body blows. 0:14:06.530 --> 0:14:08.670 Even if it doesn't look pretty right away, there's the 0:14:08.710 --> 0:14:11.290 idea of, We just got to keep, you know, cracking 0:14:11.330 --> 0:14:13.500 at this thing and just body blow after body blow. 0:14:13.540 --> 0:14:16.060 And then eventually, you know, you'll find one that'll pop 0:14:16.100 --> 0:14:18.040 somewhere down the line. And, you know, we got to 0:14:18.059 --> 0:14:20.500 stay committed to that. I thought, you know, the pass 0:14:20.540 --> 0:14:22.560 game is really the one thing today that just we 0:14:22.580 --> 0:14:25.540 just missed so many opportunities, whether it be a receiver 0:14:25.570 --> 0:14:28.710 or protection or the quarterback. And that's the spot we 0:14:28.730 --> 0:14:29.900 got to really, really tighten up. 0:14:30.290 --> 0:14:32.810 I did talk about, I thought when I watched this team, 0:14:32.850 --> 0:14:36.070 their defense has been solid all year. And they also 0:14:36.130 --> 0:14:39.160 gave Ty some looks that maybe confused him a little bit. 0:14:39.180 --> 0:14:42.320 He didn't seem quite as decisive, but you can learn 0:14:42.380 --> 0:14:42.700 from that. 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.580 Now it's on film and now he's got some stuff 0:14:44.620 --> 0:14:46.100 in his head that he's seen. No doubt. 0:14:46.180 --> 0:14:47.960 And I think they do play a lot of defense, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.070 a lot of different things and a lot of pressures. 0:14:50.110 --> 0:14:51.910 At 32, I think we talked about him all week. 0:14:51.950 --> 0:14:54.210 He's a really good football player. And we just missed 0:14:54.270 --> 0:14:57.000 a couple things. I think that getting hit early, you know, 0:14:57.020 --> 0:14:58.420 Ty got hit a little bit early. And then I 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.450 think after that, it sped him up a little bit. 0:15:00.490 --> 0:15:01.690 And there were moments where he could have stayed a 0:15:01.710 --> 0:15:04.290 little calm and just delivered the ball. He knows it 0:15:04.710 --> 0:15:06.280 and will be only better because of it. 0:15:06.540 --> 0:15:08.770 Coach, I've said for a million years that UCLA should 0:15:08.810 --> 0:15:11.930 never go into November not in the race for a 0:15:12.370 --> 0:15:15.050 conference championship and not in the race for something bigger, 0:15:15.170 --> 0:15:18.060 and we are. You've set yourself up for this. It's 0:15:18.100 --> 0:15:20.640 going to be a tough four games, but it's also 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:21.560 really exciting. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.920 Yeah, very exciting, and we know the caliber of these 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.990 next four. These are going to be physical as physical 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.210 can be, and they're going to be games that... uh 0:15:29.250 --> 0:15:30.550 we got to prepare for and we got to get 0:15:30.570 --> 0:15:32.350 a couple guys back too you know playing without a 0:15:32.570 --> 0:15:34.250 guard and a tackle and the you know there's a 0:15:34.290 --> 0:15:36.050 lot in there that i love that our guys aren't 0:15:36.070 --> 0:15:38.430 making excuses and they're finding a way to win but 0:15:38.450 --> 0:15:40.890 it definitely showed up just with the lack of some 0:15:40.910 --> 0:15:41.350 depth with. 0:15:41.250 --> 0:15:42.990 Spots well that was gonna be my last question but 0:15:43.030 --> 0:15:45.970 you led me to another one um is there i 0:15:45.970 --> 0:15:47.810 mean i normally don't ask you about injuries but you 0:15:47.850 --> 0:15:49.490 just said it is there a chance we're gonna get 0:15:49.530 --> 0:15:50.270 those guys back. 0:15:50.250 --> 0:15:51.930 Yeah there's a very good chance a very good chance 0:15:51.970 --> 0:15:53.330 i think that We just got to see how this 0:15:53.370 --> 0:15:55.670 week plays out, and injury report will come out later 0:15:55.710 --> 0:15:57.080 this week, and we'll know a little more. 0:15:57.100 --> 0:15:59.740 But, yeah, there's a very, very good chance. All right, Coach. Hey, 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:00.140 great win. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:01.340 Can't wait for Minnesota. 0:16:01.540 --> 0:16:02.160 No, can't either. 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:03.070 Thanks. All right. 0:16:03.790 --> 0:16:04.350 Back to you, Josh. 0:16:04.650 --> 0:16:05.810 Wayne, thank you so much. 0:16:05.870 --> 0:16:08.370 And, yeah, to me, that's the biggest thing with the 0:16:08.410 --> 0:16:10.830 road game at Minnesota, a road game soon. 0:16:10.710 --> 0:16:13.320 After that at Michigan. You've got to be healthy. 0:16:13.750 --> 0:16:16.700 The Bruins, though, today, even not at full complement and 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.580 not at full speed. This was not the cleanest game 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.220 they've played, although penalty-wise it was, believe it or not. 0:16:22.260 --> 0:16:25.340 Only four of those penalties today. Take that every time 0:16:25.380 --> 0:16:28.450 when you're averaging nine per game. But Bruins had enough. 0:16:28.490 --> 0:16:33.050 They beat back Nevada 27-0, the first home shutout. in 0:16:33.050 --> 0:16:36.850 19 years the first time they've shut out anybody since 0:16:36.850 --> 0:16:39.810 2015 that one was in the rain in corvallis oregon 0:16:40.130 --> 0:16:42.510 this was today in pasadena where it was supposed to 0:16:42.570 --> 0:16:45.470 rain but never did we'll come back tell you more 0:16:45.510 --> 0:16:47.330 of what you need to know in just a moment 0:16:47.350 --> 0:16:50.030 but quick a reminder this coming monday if you go 0:16:50.050 --> 0:16:52.050 to the ucla store you can score a five percent 0:16:52.090 --> 0:16:55.620
