  Speaker 1: Back with Jim Moore the Yukon Football Coaches Show. Let's
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: talk about the Buffalo Bulls. They're going to be hosting
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the Huskies. They played the Huskies a lot over the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: years they come in. Yukon is eleven and two against
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: them since ninety nine.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: But they're gonna be a little upset.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: They lost big at the Rent last year, and they
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: lost a tough game at home in which they led
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: fourteen nothing last week, So they got a lot of
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: They're gonna have a lot of feeling about playing Yukon
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: in this game. Coach, as you look at them, what's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: your immediate thought in terms of what you got to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: be concerned.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: With, Well, they played great defense, they're physical, they run well,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: they play hard, they're aggressive, hard nosed, they're tough minded
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: football team. You know, their head coach has a special
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: teams background, and we know they're gonna be very, very,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: very solid in that area. And then you know, with
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Taekwon there, they've got a dual threat quarterback who can run,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: who can throw, who's playing at a high level. And
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: they've got a big, physical offensive line. You know, the
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: right side of their offensive line and including their centers,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: you know, a really powerful looking unit. So you know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: for us, it's about just you know, creating the right
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: mindset to go on the road and be road warriors
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: and do all we can to you know, fall into
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the routine that's helped us, you know, win when we're
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: at home, and then go out on the field and
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: play with great toughness and resolve and mental toughness and
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: execute at a high level with great effort. And it's
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: not going to be easy. It's going to be really,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: really difficult, and hopefully we embrace that difficulty.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're running back al J. Henderson is is certainly
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a threat big yards. Last year, gained over one thousand yards,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: nine touchdowns, All MAC Player Player of the Year preseason candidate.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: When you look at running backs and there are a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: lot of good ones in college, obviously, what's the first
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: thing you think of in terms of what the threat
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: is from a particular running back?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: They break tackles and make people miss in the open field.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Do they have collision balance? You know? Are they going
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to finish hard through people? You know?
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Are they good blockers? Can they catch the ball out
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: of the backfield? Can they can they hit the home run?
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: And this guy you know he checks all the boxes
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: on that, but you know it's a It's about a
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: guy that you know, at the end of the game
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: when you need to run the football, is this a
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: guy that you can put the ball in his hands
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: and he's going to go get the tough, muddy yards,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: dirty yards, and this guy is.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're wide receiver. Victor Snow is dangerous too.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, his numbers last year impressive, fifty five catches.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: He looks like the kind of guy that you got
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to stick to because he could break it. He could
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: do anything. Really, he's he's a guy that can catch
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it underneath. He can go beat you over the top.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I hate guys like.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: That unless they're on our team, right, But no, he's
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: a damn good player. He's also the returner, plays mostly
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: in the slot. You know, he's like all their guys.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: He's tough as hell. You know, he's not the biggest
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: man on the field, but he's tough as hell. He's
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: tough minded, strong willed, and you know, you respect the
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: hell out of guys like that as a football coach.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: That doesn't mean you want to play against him every week,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: but you respect the hell out of them, so you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: like I said, listen, we got our handsful. It's a
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: very good football team. We're going to play on the road,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: and you know we have to we better, we better
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: be prepared and off of today's practice, you know our
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: guys have that understanding.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: But it's going to be tough.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, their defense returns nine starters. And a quick final thought,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you as a as a team offensively, do you think
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: right now you're kind of an offensive team from the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: opponent's viewpoint, are they looking at you kind of going, Man,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: these guys score thirty points every game. You think that's
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: what they're thinking.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: No, I think they're thinking, we're going to shut him down.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: That's right thinking. And I think you watch and played defense,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I don't think they have a whole lot of regard
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: for their opponents. They just play like a bunch of
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, they play Mike, they play freaking hard, okay,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: And I don't think they care who they're playing.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I think they have a standard that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: They try to subscribe to and you see it on
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: film and it's pretty damn impressive.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: That's the Buffalo Bulls and that's where Yukon will travel
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: on Saturday three point thirty kickoff ninety minutes before we'll
