  Up next for the football and Huskies start of a three game homestam FIU Panthers
• 0:04
  coming to Pratt and Whitney Stadium Saturday afternoon network coverage two o'clock. Bob Joyce,
• 0:09
  the Heart Little Group countdown a kickoff game on at three thirty here along
• 0:14
  the Ukon's Sports Network, gonna online via the Varsity Network App and the Varsity
• 0:17
  Network dot Com. Jim Moore with us, let's talk about FIU now,
• 0:21
  Jim, just looking at what they've done so far, they're two and one.
• 0:25
  They got kind of a running back by committee going on there. Kid
• 0:28
  John Owens had a huge day in their win against North Texas forty six thirty
• 0:33
  nine. So obviously they've got a pretty good offense. They can run the
• 0:37
  football. So as you game plan for them, what's number one on your
• 0:41
  priority list? Defensively, it always starts with stopping the run. And you
• 0:49
  know the runs that have hurt us this year the quarterback runs. As a
• 0:52
  matter of fact, last week on first down versus the run game, we're
• 0:55
  as good as we've been in two years here and against the normal like runs
• 1:00
  this year we've been outstanding. But there's one of my pauses for you.
• 1:06
  But however, I should say, however, the quarterback runs are killing us,
• 1:10
  and they've got a quarterback that can run and killing Jenkins and you know
• 1:15
  he he's pretty good runners. He's run seventeen times for sixty seven yards,
• 1:21
  you know, in two games. So you know, we got to make
• 1:23
  sure that we keep track of the quarterback because that's what's really hurt us.
• 1:27
  As well as continuing to get better and be better on first and second down,
• 1:33
  you got to earn your right into some third and longs where you can,
• 1:36
  you know, you can drop into coverage and make some plays or pen
• 1:40
  years back and rush the passer a little bit. And so far the quarterback
• 1:44
  runs. So for us, it always it has to start this week again
• 1:47
  with how do we stop the designed quarterback runs? Not the scrambles, but
• 1:52
  the designed quarterback runs. You know, people will will last sometimes. What
• 1:59
  about a spot? Can you put a spy on a quarterback? Is that
• 2:01
  something too risky to do or I mean some guys try it. I don't
• 2:06
  know. Well, in the first game of the year against NC State,
• 2:08
  we had a guy in the quarterback a number of times, and you know,
• 2:15
  sometimes he made our guy miss. Sometimes our guy got him on design
• 2:21
  quarterback runs, which is what hurt us last week. Those were designed quarterback
• 2:25
  runs. Last week, they weren't scrambles. A scramble got you got a
• 2:30
  quarterback that scrambles and you spy them, Yeah, but you better have you
• 2:32
  better be able to rush with three and cover because every time you spy a
• 2:37
  guy, you're taking a guy out of coverage and out of the or out
• 2:38
  of the rush. And that wouldn't have helped us a lick last week because
• 2:45
  he didn't scramble. You know, those were designed quarterback runs. So you
• 2:47
  have to have a plan for designed quarterback runs that also works against normal runs
• 2:52
  and works against the past. And so when a team has a quarterback that
• 2:55
  they can design runs for, essentially what happens is they pick up an extra
• 3:00
  blocker because now they've got they've got you know, ten, and they've got
• 3:05
  one run or ten blockers one runner were in typical plays, you know they've
• 3:08
  got if a quarterback's not the runner and the running backs are running, they
• 3:12
  got nine with one runner. So they've gained a guy, and you've got
• 3:15
  to find a way to pick up somebody so you can bring a safety up.
• 3:20
  And now you're exposing yourself to throw us down the field. So it's
• 3:23
  kind of a game of cat and mouse, and you have to call the
• 3:24
  things at the right time. You have to adjust your front a little bit.
• 3:28
  You have to do things to make sure that the quarterback run you know,
• 3:30
  isn't going to hurt you. Yeah. I thought the d line did
• 3:34
  a good job against Marcus Carroll for the most part in the game. He
• 3:38
  ended up in a one hundred and seven yards for Georgia State, but his
• 3:40
  first twenty runs fifty seven yards. I mean, I think you'll take that
• 3:44
  any day. The defensive line is a veteran group, good, good group
• 3:49
  of players. How do you assess what they did and where they can go
• 3:53
  this week against Florida or National. How much of an impact must they have?
• 3:58
  Oh, they have to have a tremendous impact. I think every game
• 4:00
  starts with you know, what happens up front offensively and defensively, and they
• 4:05
  played well. I think they'll much like our run offense. People put too
• 4:11
  much on the offensive line and run. Run offense is a function of all
• 4:15
  eleven. It's a function of your you know, ability to throw the ball.
• 4:18
  Run defense is a function of all eleven and your ability to you know,
• 4:23
  to stop some throws and make them run it. So, you know,
• 4:27
  but it does always start up in the trenches. And uh, I
• 4:30
  think our defensive line against the run has been has been good. However,
• 4:34
  that's sixty five yard run for a touchdown. You know, I was on
• 4:38
  a defensive alignment. So you know, there's those we talked about this last
• 4:44
  year when we were struggling a little bit, those kind of those except four
• 4:46
  plays. You know, hey, we were really good except for this play
• 4:49
  and except for that play, and except four plays or the plays that beat
• 4:53
  you. And so we have to find a way again to eliminate those except
• 4:57
  four plays. And to me, that's being more detailed than our meat and
• 5:00
  our planning as coaches and the way we present and the notes in our players
• 5:04
  take and the way that they got in practiced and applying all those things on
• 5:08
  Saturdays, about a minute Left with Jamore on the Coaches Show. A little
• 5:12
  bit later on Staying Cross justin Joe Lee with us a coach, Noah Plaque,
• 5:15
  the grad from Delaware had a pretty nice night the other night. Thirteen
• 5:18
  tackles and he linebacker. It makes thirteen tackles had a pretty good night.
• 5:23
  Yeah. I mean he's a good player. He's athletic, he can cover
• 5:27
  in space, he can run, he's a good tackler. You know,
• 5:30
  he's kind of converted kind of a rover to a linebacker. And I think
• 5:34
  what you're seeing is he's becoming more and more comfortable playing closer to the ball.
• 5:38
  When he was at Delaware, he played about ten yards deep, and
• 5:41
  now we moved him up into a linebacker position. Things happen a lot quicker
• 5:45
  as you get closer to the ball, and I think that it's starting to
• 5:48
  slow down a little bit for him, and he's starting to be able to
• 5:50
  key and diagnose a lot quicker, which you know, being the athlete that
• 5:56
  he is, and having that happen, it's gonna mean he's gonna make more.
• 6:00
  So I'm excited about the direction that he's going as a player for us.
• 6:03
  Well, let's get more of that on Saturday. That first win.
• 6:06
  How about that. I'm with it, Mike, Let's we gotta get one,
• 6:11
