  Speaker 1: Back with Jim Moore of the Yukon Football Coaches Show.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Huskies five and three headed to a nice three game
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: homestand they get UAB and we're going to talk about
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the Blazers a little bit later on. They had a
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: coaching change mid season. Trent Dilfer was let go and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: they promoted one of the other assistants and they came
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: up and beat Memphis, twenty second ranked team in the country.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: So they responded well, so their emotions will be riding high.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Let's go back, coach to the ballgame at Rice. You
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: led on the first play of the game. It was
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: an awesome way to start a game. Eighty r touchdown
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: pass connection Joe Fernano Skyler Bell. I have not seen
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a play like that in college in a long time
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: where a receiver makes a short catch goes untouched. I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: mean he went untouched for seventy yards. That rarely happens.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: What a way to start a ball game.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: It was a good way to start. And so.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: And you listen, you love that, right, I mean, you
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: want that every time. You'd love to score on the
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: first play every time. But I want to make sure
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: that when something like that happens, that we don't slip
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: into the I's gonna be an easy one.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you know, and not.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure that that happened, but I was a
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: little concerned that it may have. And we've addressed it
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: because there's no easy games. And sometimes, you know, I've
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: been doing this a long time and scene times where
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: you know, you come out and you score fast or
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: you score early, and then everyone kind of thinks that
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: it's going to be easy, and it's it's just not easy. So, uh,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: that's been addressed, and we'll make sure that if we
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: score first in any of these games coming up or
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: first scoring the first play, which we're always trying to do,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: that we handle it better than we did on Saturday.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you led seven nothing, fourteen, ten, twenty one, seventeen
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: at the break and ended up twenty four to twenty
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: four in regulation. So playing with the lead versus playing
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: from behind, what's the difference in what's going on on
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the sideline? Is there more urgency when you're down or
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: how does that work?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: It depends on you know, how far ahead or how
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: far behind you are. But what I would like to
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: tell you is that it doesn't matter at all that
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: you should always play the same way with the same
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: sense of urgency, the same passion, the same emotion, the
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: you know, the same intensity.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: And that's what you're striving for. So that's what we're
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: always trying to do.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Is you know, you don't ignore the scoreboard, because the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: scoreboard matters, but you know, it shouldn't affect the way
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: that you play the game, the passion, the effort.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: It just shouldn't.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: And you know what, it's a kind of a natural
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: human reaction to let it. And so we we concentrate
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: and talk about, you know, just play the next play,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: play the next every plays it's an own entity, regardless
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: of any circumstance. And you've got to just keep drilling
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: that into into players heads and into coaches heads that
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: that's got to be the way that you ultimately become successful.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And and Rice, I think took did a nice job
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of bouncing back. I mean those two long touchdowns that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: they got as Yukon seemed to grab the momentum of
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the game, I mean that those were killers. And obviously you.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Don't want that.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Can you can you explain how that happens because it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: looks like Yukon controls the game and then bang, they
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: score immediately and that just changes everything.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Well, that's sports, as you know.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: You know most games, there's momentum shifts and it's who
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: handles it better, you know, who can come back. And
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: when they made a play, we were able to come back,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: and you know, they we'd make a play and they
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: were able to come back. And that's not okay. I mean,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: our goal is not to let them come back. I
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: think it kind of goes back, Mike to what I
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: was saying earlier about just, you know, never having the
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: mindset that you're supposed to.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Win a game.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, feeling like you're going to win a game, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: being determined to win a game and doing everything you
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: can to win a game. Yeah, and we're prepared to
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: win a game. Those things are great. But when you
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: are feeling that you're supposed to win a game, to me,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: that's entitlement. I think entitlement leads to failure. I don't
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: think entitlement is a good thing. So I just have
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: to make sure that I do a good job of
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: keeping our guys on track, regardless of what the situation is.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: The same as if you're behind, you know, hey, you
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: just keep playing, you just keep playing. Just keep playing.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Just keep playing it. You don't panic, you just keep playing.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Something good's going to happen.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sixty minutes. Is that's why they say sixty minute game.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you know you've been around this a long time.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: It's just I think that's the right way to approach
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: it is, just fight through it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Well, Quentin Jackson hurt the Huskies. The rice running back
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: he ran twenty one times. We know they ran the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: ball well, but coach, they threw the ball well, and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that's not something they had been doing. So what did
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you see when you reviewed tape on the Rice Ucon game.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: They were able to throw the ball. I know, a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: lot of short stuff, you know, got them a lot
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of their yardage. But this is a team that threw
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: for under one hundred yards on average, and they threw
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: well over one hundred yards that day.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Well, they had the big play on the tiny little
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: you know, slip screen out the backside. So down the
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: field throws, we were okay, we were fine as you
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: looked at it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: There weren't things that hurt us down the field. Really.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: There was one to a tight end where we weren't
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: good with our eyes. But we felt you know, Okay
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: about the way we defended the pass. It was more
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: you know, some of the big plays in the run
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: game and then the big play in the pass game
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: that were more concerning to us.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Right, three hundred yards on the ground, I mean that's
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: what Mike like.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Yards like Well, now I interrupted you too soon, because
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: three hundred yards on the ground, Hell yeah, that's concerning
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: his heck, but the yards in the pass game, you
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: have to break down why and how they got those yards,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: and a lot of them came on that one play.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: So you know, listen, I'm not dismissing that we've got
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: to be better playing the pass and tackling. But it
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: wasn't as bad as the yards looked if you take
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: it on a down to down basis. Now that I'll
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: let you finish your run game question, and I think
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I know you were going with it.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well three hundred yards and well, I think the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: thing too is, you know, obviously we talked about it
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: before the game. They run the ball, they can control
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the clock a little bit. You kind of only ran
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: for I think one hundred and five yards something like that,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: which is a little unusual. What was going on on
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that side of the ball. The run attack for the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Huskies wasn't you know, maybe up to standard. Even throwing
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the ball so well though, that kind of makes up
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: for things.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we've were throwing the ball well, you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: we're one of the top passing teams in the country.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: So we didn't run the ball poorly.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: We just didn't run it a lot, yeah, you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: and we chose to matriculate the ball down the field
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: throwing it and that's what, you know, was what was
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: looking to be successful for us at that point in time.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Given that, though, you know, we think it's very important
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: that we continue to work on schematically finding ways to
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: run the ball more effectively so we don't become one dimensional.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: You know, we've talked about balance a lot, you and I,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: and we don't want to lose that balance, which is,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: you know, the ability to run the ball we need
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: when we need to run the ball.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, Coach Jim Moore with us. We'll be
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: back more. The Yukon Football Coaches Show in a moment
• 7:26
