• 0:00
  Back on the Yukon Football Coaches Show. It's Utah State at the rent on
• 0:04
  Saturday there one and three Jamara with US coach. They got a rookie quarterback
• 0:09
  McKay Hillstead who threw forty seven passes last weekend, almost four hundred yards,
• 0:15
  four touchdown passes. That was his first game started. That's pretty impressive.
• 0:19
  Yeah, especially against the JAMU defense. It's really good. And they got
• 0:23
  down to that game and they handed that young man the ball and they said
• 0:27
  go make plays and he went and many plays. He was very impressive.
• 0:30
  You know, it's an explosive offense. They scored over seventy points against Idaho
• 0:34
  State and you know they spread you out and they sling it all over the
• 0:38
  field and it'll be a great challenge for our defense. Yeah. I had
• 0:42
  a seventy six yard completion. He's got some good wide receivers at Terrella one
• 0:46
  ten catches, Jalen Royals. I mean, these dudes, they were number
• 0:50
  one, zero one, number one. I mean the Huskies are gonna have
• 0:53
  to get after them. Yeah, I think it's important we went up front,
• 0:56
  you know that we don't let this quarterback feel comfortable back there in the
• 0:59
  pocket. It. We don't let him run the ball, but he's a
• 1:02
  good player. They're good players. I mat they've got a really good receiving
• 1:04
  corps. I think they've got three really good running backs and they're very capable
• 1:08
  of moving the balls as we've seen. Yeah day Von Booth is his name,
• 1:14
  the running back where's number six twenty one carries one hundred and six the
• 1:18
  other day now, game day. We're not going to go into your every
• 1:23
  day coaches routine because that might take too long. But I want to get
• 1:27
  the game day because watching you before a football game tires me out. I'm
• 1:34
  a guy that's in pretty good shape for my age, but you you're up
• 1:38
  and down stairs and stadiums. So I got to get this from you.
• 1:42
  How many steps do you think you do before a football game on a Saturday
• 1:47
  depends on the size of the stadium. And what I have found is the
• 1:51
  rent is just perfect for me at this point in my life. It's something
• 1:56
  I started when I first started coaching. Really, I was in San Diego
• 2:00
  and we are offices, we're in our stadium, and I love to go
• 2:05
  uphill, as I've told you many times, and I love I've always loved
• 2:07
  to run stairs. When I was at University of Washington, we'd run the
• 2:10
  stairs and Husky Stadium all the time. And so I've always had a routine
• 2:15
  that I go out and I run four laps, which is about a mile,
• 2:17
  and then I used to do sixteen one tens starting on the minute.
• 2:22
  I've kind of fallen off of that the last few years, just as because
• 2:25
  I used to say I was going to stride one tens, but I don't
• 2:28
  even know if I can stride anymore. And then I run the stadium stairs
• 2:32
  and I've done that. You know, really every game that I've ever coached
• 2:35
  in my career, hit about every stadium in the country, and it just
• 2:40
  kind of it not kind of it gets me in the right frame of mind
• 2:45
  to go, coach. Are you sure? Are you meditating a little bit
• 2:49
  while you're running? What are you doing? I mean, because I run
• 2:52
  like that, I can't think about anything else but putting one foot in front
• 2:54
  of the other. I'm listening to music. I have a playlist I make
• 2:59
  every week, and I'm thinking, you know, I'm thinking about game situations.
• 3:04
  I'm thinking about where we are as a team, thinking about what I
• 3:07
  need to do, you know, in the game to help our players go
• 3:10
  out and play well. I'm watching what's going on on the field. Typically
• 3:14
  when i'm running the stairs, I'm just trying to get myself in a zone
• 3:17
  where I can be at my best. All Right, what's the toughest stadium
• 3:23
  that you've ever run? In terms of steps? Lambeau Field is the toughest.
• 3:27
  It's uh, you brought up Michigan when we were off the air.
• 3:30
  Michigan's a close second, but Lambo is the hardest. It's the steepest,
• 3:35
  and they don't have like they don't you know, sometimes they cut a stare
• 3:38
  in half. Every stair there's like about at least a foot, so you're
• 3:42
  really having to lift your knees. And it's it really is never gradual.
• 3:46
  It's straight up from the get go. At Michigan, you've got it's gradual.
• 3:50
  Then at the end it's pretty straight up. But Lambo is a is
• 3:53
  a mother, and I mean to make it around Lambeau that's quite an accomplishment,
• 3:59
  and I've done it several times. It's never been fun. I've never
• 4:03
  enjoyed it, but you know, it's it's what I do, so it
• 4:08
  helps me. It helps me get ready for my mind right, helps me
• 4:11
  get my mind right. Your mind is right. I like that. I
• 4:13
  like it a lot. All right, coach, we appreciate it. Thanks
• 4:15
  so much. Good luck on the weekend. Let's get number one. Let's
• 4:17
  go. I'm with you, let's get it all right, guys, take
• 4:21
  care. That's Jim Moore. We'll be back with more. Mumu bin Wahad
