  Speaker 1: Next six are at home for coach Morris Huskies FAU
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Saturday night, then Buffalo Temple, Wake Forest out of the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: ACC Rice who we saw last year in Houston. Georgia State,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: who we saw in Atlanta last year. Tickets for all
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: those games included an OWL pack. We have a three
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: game plan as well. In all the Yukon sporting events.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: You can go to yukontickets dot com. We're back with
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Jimura On Mike Crispino. We talked about the running quarterback
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Camp Bancher for FAU, the Owls coached by Tom Herman,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: who had a lot of success at Houston and Texas
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: now at FAU. But your quarterback Nick Evers ran for
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: seventy yards the other day in ten attempts. So, I
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: mean you've been saying that, you know, he's that kind
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: of guy, jewel dimensional guy. How is that in terms
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: of helping your offense get to where it wants to go,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that he's able to pull it down and get some yardage.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: It's big. You know. You see the best teams in
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: football today they have quarterbacks that you know, can throw
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the ball but also make plays with their with their
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: legs and NIXX that kind of guy, you know, whether
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: it's a design quarterback run or it's him scrambling. You know,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: when when there's nothing down the field to throw to.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you from a defensive standpoint, it makes
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: it really, really difficult to defend. And so we've seen
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: that from him and that was really his first opportunity
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: to get some runs in this week, and he did
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: a heck of a job. And we'll just try to
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: keep expanding on that. We want to make sure that
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we keep him healthy at the same time, so you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: it's got We've got to be judicious about it. But
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: you know, he he gives us an element that is
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: going to help us become a better offense.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Longest run was twenty three yards, average six yards, but boy,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that's a real weapon. Let's talk about his throwing. You know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I was coming back from the game and I'm thinking
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to myself, we got to be careful with this guy.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's had two collegiate starts. You know, we
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: have a lot of expectations for Yukon football, all of us,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: including you obviously, but are we We can't get ahead
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of ourselves. If I'm right on this about Nick Evers,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: throwing the football on a college level when he's had
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: two starts in his career.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Well, especially against the defense like that. I mean that
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: was going into the game, that was a fifteenth rank
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: defense in the country. I don't know that everyone realizes
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: how good they are on defense. Their talent is pretty special,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and there was some inconsistency there and we had some drops,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: which you know, we haven't had a lot of drops
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the first two weeks. But one of our objectives is
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: to develop more consistency in the past game. And so
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: that's receivers running good routes and getting open. It's Nick
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: putting the ball on target and on time. It's guy's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: catching the football. But you're right, you know, Mike, he
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: started two games. Had he had the benefit of a
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: total four quarters against Indiana and a total of four
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: quarters against Merrimack, you know, he'd have been a little
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: more comfortable. But what I see in Nick is a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: guy that every snap he takes he's getting better. When
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: he comes to the sidelines, he's always clear headed about
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: what he's seeing. He sees the game well, he doesn't
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: get rattled. You know, there would have been even some
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: moments in that game where you know, you wouldn't have
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: blamed him if he'd have gotten a little flustered. And
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: he just doesn't, you know, and he can clearly communicate
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: what he's seeing. And you know, I feel like the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: guy's going to be a damn good player very quickly.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: So we just need to keep getting him reps. More
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: reps he gets, the better he's going to become.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the thing with with QB's obviously you got to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: have a good arm, you gotta be accurate. You gotta
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: throw on time. That's one thing I notice every week
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: when I watch NFL games on Sundays. You got to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: throw on time. If you don't get rid of the ball,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: things can happen. Bad things can happen.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that part of the.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: College game too, getting the ball off in time.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: It is not to the extent that it is in
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the pros. I mean, if you if you wait for
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: someone to get open in the pros before you throw
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the football, then by the time the ball gets here,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: they won't be open. The difference between college football and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: pro football in terms of the level of ability to speed,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the intensity is it's almost unfathomable. So but yet the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: same things still hold true for college. Just because you
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: don't have as many great athletes on the field doesn't
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: mean there's not an equality of talent, and there is.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: So it's anticipation, it's trust, it's timing, it's getting in
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: sync with your receivers, it's understanding coverages, comfortability in your scheme,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and all those things come with repetitions, you know, successes
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and failures. You know, what can I get done? What's
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: a challenge for me? And how do I get through
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: that challenge? So now like things like that at every position,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: but every position doesn't touch the ball every play, right, So,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: like I said, I have tons of confidence in Nick.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to be really special. He's just
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: got to continue to play. You know. We just got
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to keep getting him snaps, and we get him snaps
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: in practice, we get the other guys some snaps. We
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: give him the majority of snaps and get snaps and games,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: and we've got to realize that everything's not going to
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: be perfect. It never is. There's never been a football
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: game played. I don't think where it's perfect. But we
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: got to figure out ways to move through the challenging
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: times and find success quickly.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Skylar Bell was targeted fourteen times by Nick
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Evers had seven catches fifty eight yards nineteen yards. After case,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: there was a couple throws deep to Skyler in which
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I felt like Duke played it beautifully in terms of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: their secondary coverages. So they ended up with two men
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: on him. You know, safety's coming over to double up.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And I thought that was the tough thing for Nick
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Evers to to understand, maybe that they really good secondaries
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: like Duke has, or they're going to get to places
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: unless you get the ball there, you know, before they do.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And right, yeah, I'm wondering is that something you develop
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: as a QB as time goes on.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like they were playing single high defense, a single
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: high safety in the middle of the field. But on
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: that interception, the guy got a great break. He can
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: run like the win he laid out and he made
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: a great play. So it wasn't like he threw it
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: into coverage. I mean he threw the ball. I mean
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I thought it was caught by us, not by them.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Now I thought maybe he could have put a little
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: more velocity on it. But I went back and looked
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: at the film. You know, he did it just about right.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: So sometimes the other team makes just great plays. You know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I think one thing we have to be careful about
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: is making sure we spread the targets out so that
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: we don't let our defense to lock into one guy.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And you know, I know that Skyler had fourteen targets
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and the most that anyone else had was three. Well,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: that says a lot about Skyler number one, that he's
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: a damn good play and he gets open. But we
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: just have to make sure that we are spreading the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: ball around enough that people have to honor TJ and
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Z and Schamar and Shsaiah and Brett and Brock and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: those guys. And we're going to do that. You know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: we did that the week before. And you know that's
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: just sometimes the coverage dictates it. Sometimes a guy gets open.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: And then certainly when a quarterback has confidence and a
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: receiver is going to get the football, that's where he's
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: gonna throw it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he did it. He did it well
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: against Duke. Got to do it even better against Florida Atlantic.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: We'll be back with Jim Moore and later on Chase
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Lund joins us. The offensive tackle toy for MEA Brown,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the linebacker for the Huskies. When we continue on the
