  Speaker 1: Welcome back to you Com Football Coaches Show with Jim Moore.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: A little bit later on, we were talking to Cam Chadwick,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: who had three I INT's in the game, and also
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Antonio o'harris, who played a sound game on defense. But
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: let's continue with the offense here for a moment. Cam
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Edwards ran the ball hard and he always does. And
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: we've been talking about the running attack the last few
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: weeks and we're not gaining the same amount of yardage
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: as it did last year. But I thought that you
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: established a little bit of a of a crunch to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the game when you did run the ball in the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: first quarter. Would you agree with that?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I think you're exactly right. Is uh.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: You know, they were playing a little bit more of
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: a pass first defense philosophy, so us being able to
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: come out and run the ball and established the run
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: early open open some things up in the pass game,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: you know. And look, we're not running the ball as
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: much or for as many ours because you know, I mean,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: we're twelfth in the country and passing offense. Yukon is
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: twelfth in the country and passing offense. I don't know
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: if it's ever been achieved, but we're not stupid. We're
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: not stupid. Fifteenth in the country and scoring offense, you know,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: so we're obviously we're you know, we're utilizing our personnel,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: and we have some really good personnel to utilize.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: It's funny in the Patriots heyday with Tom Brady, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: they didn't have much of a running attack. Several times
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: during the years he was, you know, winning Super Bowls,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: they used to throw the ball to set up the run.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: They used to do it all the time.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And you'd say, well, my goodness, Tom Brady just threw
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the ball forty five times today. Well you won the game.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Does it really really matter how many times you're in it?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Does And we see, here's the thing is, we do
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: have a good rushing attack. I mean Cam Edwards is
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: twenty second in the United States of American rushing yards
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: and he's twenty first in touchdowns scored.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty good running attack, you know.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: So I think it's just been overshadowed by the success
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: we've had thus far throwing the ball.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we can run the football. There's no doubt
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, in anyone that says that we can't that
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: really doesn't have their facts straight. You know, it's just
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: a matter of as you said, like how are you
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: going to tack the defense and what are they trying
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: to take away? And we've talked about this a lot
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: on this show through the year. Is balance. You know
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: what is balance and you know how I feel about it. It's
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: not fifty to fifty run pass or fifty to fifty
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: run pass yardage. It's being able to do what you
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: need to do in that particular moment to move the
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: ball down the field. And so, like you said at
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the top with your question, is coming out that first
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: drive and being able to run it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: That was really important for us.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: You know, re established that you better pay attention to
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: the run game as well.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You can't just be a coverage for you and.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: You also a ransom. He went deeper into the playbook.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I thought Gordon Samus was coming up with some good
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: stuff in the game. And you had Terrence Smith run
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the ball out of a wildcat five times for thirty
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: five yards. Malichi Greeves had a couple of carries and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: for eleven yards. I mean it had a different look
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to it, and I think that that is great to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: be able to do that here in the last four
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: looking ahead at the next four games, because the opponent
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: now has to go way, wait a minute, now they're
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: throwing the ball, but now they might do this, so
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: they might do that. It just gives them so much
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to think about.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: You're exactly right, you know, and late in the season,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: not becoming predictable. You know, teams now have had a
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: chance to watch nine games if they wish about us,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: and there are certain tendencies that develop. So being able
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: to break tendencies late in the game, being able to
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: you know, get Terrence involved because he's got so much
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: more comprehension of what we're doing offensively, being able to
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: take you know, meet we call him and play him
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: because he's an explosive, talented kid. Now he's not gonna
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: burn his red shirt because he hasn't played until now.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: So we can play these four games.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: You can play in a bull game, doing some things
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: with the wildcat, you know, getting some young guys in there.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: You know, I've said it many times. I mean and
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I'll you know, Gordy is, in my opinion, one of
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: the top offensive coordinators in college football. And I think
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: the numbers prove it out. And I think that the
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: creativity confirms that as well. So really lucky to have
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: him here as part of this staff because he is
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: a I said a couple of weeks ago, you talk
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: about one of the up and comers in college football,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: who that's Gordy.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that applies to the receiving and passing game,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I think too, because I mean, look at the numbers
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the other day, right, the tight ends who hadn't been
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: featured a heck of a lot in the last couple
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of weeks. But you get Lewis Hansen with three catches,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you get Alex Honig with another one, and the tight
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: ends had some valuable yardage for you. And also you
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: know guys like Romelo Murphy who's had a great year.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I think I only made one catch, but then you
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: had Juice Farien with three and John Nider with five.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So you're not a one trick pony, is what I'm
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: trying to get at. So how does that, you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: How does that, as you view that going down the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: stretch here, give you a good sense of where the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Huskies can go here?
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Well, I think, and you'd have to check this, but
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I believe that Joe through passes the twelve different receivers.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you have the stats right there,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: but it helps us in that, you know, we can
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: really focus on playing hard and playing physical and playing
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: fast and know that if someone asks to come out
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: of the game for a breather, we've got someone that
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: can go in and be effective.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: You know. And then you mentioned the tight ends.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: You know, Alex and Lou and Juice their production in
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: the past game you mentioned, but if you watch the
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: run game, Lou, Lou and Uh and Alex were outstanding.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Matter of fact, they they got recognition after the game
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: and the team meeting. You know, we have certain awards
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: that we give out really for the way they played
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: on offense, which you know, you see the catches, but
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: what you don't see is they're they were dominating in
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the run game as well. So you know, it's all
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: about being able to spread the ball around, spread the field.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: You want to make the field as long and as
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: wide as you can for the defense to try to defend,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: you know, and that takes playmakers, and then it takes
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: a scheme that gets the playmakers open in space. And
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: like I said, Gordie is doing a great job of that,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: as is the rest of the staff.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: What is that formation that you come out in offensively
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: where you have the two tight ends set up on
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: either side of Joe Friano and say Cam Edwards behind him.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Is there a name for that because.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: On the backfield you mean, yeah, bone like the old
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: wishbone is?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: You know? Is that what it is?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what to call it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Well you can call it. It's you know what it is, Mike.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: It's like an inverted wishbone, remember the old wishbone with.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: The quarterback, the center and the fallback in the two backs.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: It's just kind of an inverted wishbone because you're in
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: the shotgun and so you know, with guys like Joe
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: and Lou and we put Alex back I'm sorry, we
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: put Juice back there as well. They're good blockers, you know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: and so it gives you the opportunity to kind of
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: go either way.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great. I love it, to be honest. You
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: can just call it from now on. They're in the bone,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that bone formation.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, I'm gonna do it, all right,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Jim Morrow with us a quick time out back with
• 7:36
