  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us here on a Thursday edition when
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: we're gonna hear a little bit more from both coaches
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: from the National Championship game on Monday. We've got a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: high school report in the second hour, our Clarke Eisenhower
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Outdoor Edition. We have some very unsavory animals to talk
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: about today, and we're going to talk a little bit
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: about water quality in the state along the coast on
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the outdoor Report. This portion of the show brought to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you by Central Texas Sports Medicine. Twenty men have been
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: charged in a point shaving scheme involving thirty nine college
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: basketball players on seventeen D one teams. Fifteen to the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: defendants played college basketball in twenty three, twenty four, or
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty five, according to the indictment. The
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: teams range from Abilene Christian to Tulane and schools in between.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: We should not be surprised by this. Sports betting is
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a huge issue. The nc DOUBLEA has asked a federal
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: regulatory body to stop prediction markets from offering trades on
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: college sports until more safeguards are in place, and a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: letter addressed to the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the federal agency that regulates prediction markets in CLEA President
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Charlie Baker said the growth of prediction markets poses a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: threat to the well being of student athletes. Of course,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: they didn't stop him from advocating betting until the outcry
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: was so great, I implore you, Baker wrote, to suspend
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: collegiate sports prediction markets until a more robust system with
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: appropriate safeguards is in place. The Federal Trade Commission is
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: asking twenty universities with D one sports programs whether agents
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: working with their athletes are following a federal law tied
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to conduct. The FDC's inquiry began with sending letters to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: schools seeking responses tied to compliance with the Sports Agent
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Responsibility Trust Act. You want the federal government involved in
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: college athletics, and here we are talking about the Sports
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Agent Responsibility and Trust Act from the Federal Trade Commission.
• 3:02

  Speaker 1: the athletic director gives the coach a vote of confidence
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: four games into conference play, LSU athletic director Verge Ausbury says,
• 5:21

• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to re evaluate talking about Matt McMahon at LSU right now.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: In the SEC, five teams are three to one, including
• 5:36

  Speaker 3: I promise you that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And then there's a high school basketball player in Arizona.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Adrian Stubbs, guard at Phoenix Maryvale High School, became the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: first player in Arizona high school history to score one
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: hundred points. He had seventy in the first half and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: thirty in the third quarter. He did him play the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, shattered the six A record, which had been
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: fifty seven points, shattered the state record, which had stood
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: since nineteen sixty six, which had been seventy five points.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: His previous career high was fifty six. Did I tell
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: you he scored one hundred?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Last night?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Maryvale beat Yuma one toh nine to twenty five. In
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: other words, he scored one hundred of his team's one
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: hundred and nine points and didn't play in the fourth quarter.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Head coach Jeremy Smith told the Arizona Republic, this kid
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: doesn't cease to amaze me. His will to win and
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: fight and grint are second to none. He's got a
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: lot of people backing him, wanting the best for him.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: He's a gamer.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Before the season started, we had team goals and we
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: have individual goals. One of his individual goals was to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: beat the record of fifty seven points. He beat it
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: by forty three points last night.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: We know.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: High schools only play eight minute quarters. Now, I don't
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: know if that's true in Arizona.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming it is.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: So in twenty four minutes of basketball, he scored a hunter,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: just saying all right, we'll take a break. We're going
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to hear from Mario Crystobaal when we come back after this.

  Speaker 7: It's Techags Live, brought to you by David garter S Jewelers.
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: OutKick on the Bumpy skatering Bartidiy Holloway.
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: It feels as though college head coaches are under the
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: gun so much about winning right now that they don't
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: want to take the time to develop a quarterback. What's
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: the the conversation been around Sam Levitt for the last
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: two days. It was Lsu, it was Tennessee. It was
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: Kiffin flying into Knoxville to meet with Sam Levitt before
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: he got on a plane to Miami. At the same time, brother,
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: Tennessee's got two five star quarterbacks out of the high
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: school rank sitting on the bench. So it's like, wait
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: a minute, you're telling me you can't develop these guys
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: and go win potentially with five stars on the bench
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: that you're paying, you know, a combined four mil. We
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: have grown accustom now to this portal thing man and
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: the quick fix, and I think that is going to
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: be a very big problem in the years to come
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: because you have so many coaches relying on this.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying it's wrong.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: Techas live weekdays from eight to eleven on the Zone, real.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: And painted flight. It's making the boys. On a Thursday
• 11:23

  Speaker 1: Kirk Bowles tomorrow. Kirk will be on South Beach, that
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: scoundrel getting ready for the National Championship game on Monday.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I gave him a couple of places to eat on
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: South Beach.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Said if he didn't make it, it's his fault. Next Monday,
• 11:47

  Speaker 1: all right, Monday Night? Is it still seven and a half?
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I hadn't checked the spread lately.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Caleb still looking at seven and a half in the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: championship game Indiana Miami. We'll have that game Monday night.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: By the way, eight and a half's gone up a point. Okay, Yeah,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I'm just so anxious to see how the fans are
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: going to be configured in that stadium. What what the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: percentage of fans is going to be. It's just gonna
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: be very interesting.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think it will be close to fifty
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: to fifty.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: But I read this story yesterday. People look at secondary
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: market steak Indiana. It's gonna may have sixty to sixty
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: five percent of that stadium a home game for Miami,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: which would be remarkable in its own self.
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's hear from Mario Christobal, Miami football coach.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: Coach Sin Natty has talked a lot about the influence
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: his father has had on him from.
• 13:16
  Speaker 11: A football perspective.
• 13:17
  Speaker 12: I'm curious about the influence your father had on you,
• 13:20
  Speaker 12: not from a football perspective, but just from a life perspective.
• 13:25
  Speaker 10: Yeah, well, mom and dad, that's pretty well. You know,
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: they worked two jobs. When the night school learned a language.
• 13:32
  Speaker 10: They came from Cuba. Couldn't ask for anything better in
• 13:36
  Speaker 10: terms of parents. They were hard nosed, they were tough.
• 13:39
  Speaker 10: They made sure we understand, we understood the meaning of
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: true work and to make absolutely zero excuses. They were
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: absolutely relentless in their pursuit of just doing everything they
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: could to provide for us. I just couldn't ask for
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: better parents. And then they handed us over to Dennis Level,
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: coach at Columbus, and Fred Foyer, who was the offensive
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: line coach at Columbus, and they they were the ones
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: that helped to raise us and groom us into you know,
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: the people what we are today. Forever grateful for them.
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: I thought they were the best coaches and mentors ever.
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: It's why I coached today because of my high school coaches.
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: Coach leavell Is Uh, He's everything to me. But my dad,
• 14:22
  Speaker 10: Lewis Senior, hard knows, tough ass, son of a gun.
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: That's what I know. And I'm forever grateful for him
• 14:29
  Speaker 10: being hard on us and never never gifted us anything,
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: made us work for everything. Thank Thank God for that.
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: Thank you.
• 14:40
  Speaker 11: Next we'll go to Jim Coyle. Jim, go ahead, and
• 14:42
  Speaker 11: I'm your line and state affiliation.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Please hi.
• 14:48
  Speaker 10: Jim Coyle.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Then he had a sports beat radio in Bloomington. Coach
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Earlier you talked about having played.
• 14:54
  Speaker 13: With uh with Fernando's dad, How I'm gonna talk about
• 14:59
  Speaker 13: the irony of having his son not only when the Heisman,
• 15:04
  Speaker 13: but be the quarterback that you're going to face international championship,
• 15:08
  Speaker 13: having not only him and Alberto being from a Miami
• 15:12
  Speaker 13: and the same high school that you and his father
• 15:14
  Speaker 13: played at.
• 15:17
  Speaker 10: And the question is, I'm sorry, the irony of playing
• 15:20
  Speaker 10: against Fernando, the son.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Of a guy you played high school Paul with, who.
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: Was Yeah, football is awesome, you know, it's almost that
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: part of it coming full circle watching his sons are
• 15:33
  Speaker 10: great football players. Obviously, the Heisman was earned and well deserved.
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: The type of season that Fernando has had, really they
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: they dominated just about every game and anytime a game
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: was close, he was a big reason why the outcome
• 15:51
  Speaker 10: is or was what it was because there's his level
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: of play, and you know, his younger brother is gonna
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: be as good or even better, you know. And I
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: think if you talk to the people over there at
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: their university and at Columbus High School, they'll tell you
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: that just really tough, smart, hard working, awesome young men
• 16:11
  Speaker 10: that represent their families and their university really well, it
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: was go ahead.
• 16:18
  Speaker 13: Hey, yeah, I'm just talking about the houringy as well
• 16:21
  Speaker 13: as having to play against him, right, yes, sir, great.
• 16:28
  Speaker 11: Next we'll go to the line of Ed Graney and
• 16:31
  Speaker 11: Ed go ahead, yeah, coach.
• 16:36
  Speaker 12: I'm sorry to stand this theme, but if there wasn't
• 16:39
  Speaker 12: such close ties and you didn't know him as well
• 16:42
  Speaker 12: as you do, if you just flipped on the film
• 16:45
  Speaker 12: for the first time, what would you think about Fernando? Like,
• 16:47
  Speaker 12: why is he special as a player?
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: I think he combines everything that you would want in
• 16:53
  Speaker 10: an elite quarterback. He is. He's ahead of the defense
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: all the time. He's two steps ahead. He understands the
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: back end the front. He's extremely accurate, poised. He can
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: make you pay with his feet. He can make you
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: pay with his arm. He can he understands protections really well.
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: He anticipates like no other. He really has distinguished himself
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: as the best football player in the country this year,
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: and it's not by accident. A lot of reps, a
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: lot of hard work, a guy that has been a
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: complete difference maker for their program. Thank you.
• 17:32
  Speaker 11: Next, we'll go to Andre Adilson.
• 17:33
  Speaker 14: Andre Mario was hoping to ask you a boer picture
• 17:40
  Speaker 14: question about the ACC because there are a lot of
• 17:43
  Speaker 14: people throwing dirt on the conference earlier when they thought
• 17:47
  Speaker 14: there was the potential to not get a team in.
• 17:49
  Speaker 14: And with the postseason performance and your performance, I'm wondering
• 17:53
  Speaker 14: if you think this might start changing narratives or perceptions
• 17:57
  Speaker 14: about the ACC as a whole.
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: Okay, yes, thank you. I believe the ACC is like
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: nine to four in postseason play this year, and I
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: think a lot of the reasons why we have progresses
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: some of the teams that we have faced throughout the
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: course of the season in our conference. The level of
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: play from a quarterback standpoint, line of scrimmage standpoint, I
• 18:18
  Speaker 10: think has proven itself in the postseason, and for us,
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: it proved itself against us and made us a better team,
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: you know, in terms of making adjustments, increasing our level
• 18:28
  Speaker 10: of physicality. And it's been a really really good year
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: for the conference. And if you look at the coaches
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: that have been hired, the way the rosters are shaping up,
• 18:39
  Speaker 10: both from a transfer portal standpoint and a high school
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: recruiting standpoint, the conference is only going to get better
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: and better. And we're certainly, you know, appreciative of some
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: of the just all the support that we have gotten
• 18:51
  Speaker 10: from the a SEC and looking forward to more great
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: years to come.
• 19:00
  Speaker 11: As a question from the zoom room will come from
• 19:01
  Speaker 11: Bill Bender. Bill, go ahead, Hey.
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: Coach, thanks for doing this, sir. You know, in this
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: new college football world, how valuable is the experience you
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: have on this roster with fourteen or you know, fifteen
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: year starters have four years or more? And then do
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: you see this as like the right blend of portal
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: and recruits, particularly in state recruits.
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: Yes, circle appreciate the question, and it's it's, uh, you know,
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: I know we talked about irony earlier. Ironically, we're playing
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: against a team that is very much a veteran group, right.
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: You're looking at you know, a lot of similarities in
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: the sense of, you know, players that have experience. It's
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: you know, experiences are replaceable. And for us, I think
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: it's been a great blend because the portal pickups combined
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: with the players that have been here for three and
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: four years. Again, it comes down to the fact that
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: they're like minded individual and the young talent that we recruited.
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: They are from a DNA standpoint, they're hard working guys
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: that they're high achievers. So, and the way that we
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: work here, the blueprint here, the regiment here, it's it's
• 20:12
  Speaker 10: very demanding and if that's not your thing, it's not
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: going to work, you know. And so the fact that
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: we had all these like minded individuals from all over
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: the place, I mean, we're as national as Miami has
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: ever been from a roster standpoint, all positions. But again,
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: it doesn't matter if you're from one mile away or
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: one thousand miles away. If if you're made of the
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: right stuff, you've got the right heart and the right mindset,
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: it works. And the team is very evenly made up
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: of all three of those, you know, different buckets of
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: talent and so and the older guys have done a
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: great job just doing i would say, just bringing along
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: showing our younger guys what it's supposed to look like now,
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: not later, but right now. And that's in terms of
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: expediting their experience and their ability to contribute. They've been
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: a huge part of that. Thank you, thank you, Yeah,
• 21:11
  Speaker 10: thank you, coach.
• 21:12
  Speaker 15: At this time, I'll turn it back over to Cameron.
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: They're in the room for any final question. Do a
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: couple more in the room before turning it off. But
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: we'll go with David like in the front.
• 21:19
  Speaker 15: So you fased Fernando last year at CAV and I'm
• 21:23
  Speaker 15: curious just what you remember about his performance in that
• 21:25
  Speaker 15: game and what you would say about maybe his growth
• 21:29
  Speaker 15: since that time to what he's doing.
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: You saw all the things that you see now, except
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: the supporting cast right now is very different. Certainly the
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: system is completely different, but you're looking at a massive, physical,
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: tough offensive line that is on point. They don't make mistakes,
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: their ideas are exactly what they need to be when
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: they need to be that way. Their receivers are big
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: time playmakers, and they do it with you back shoulder
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: underthrown phase. They do it by running by underneath, finding
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: soft spots in z own coverage and complemented by a
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: very physical downhill running game and one that could circle
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: you as well. So a guy like that in that system,
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: with that level of coaching, where I mean he's been
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: coached to continue to progress at such a high level.
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: It's you see the player. You saw the talent last year.
• 22:15
  Speaker 10: The supporting cast wasn't there yet, and they were a
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: really good team we thought. But this year, obviously it's
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: a whole different level with where he's at the.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Will for resenal we ago ten all season long, whether
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: it be the media, to your players, that one no
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: mentality has just been your theme.
• 22:31
  Speaker 16: When the one to O now means a national championship,
• 22:33
  Speaker 16: how what does that message mean to you?
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: How does that resonate with the players? Like? How has
• 22:37
  Speaker 10: it changed this week? The one no mentality? Sir? Well,
• 22:41
  Speaker 10: you know, well I don't. I don't think you make
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: the game any heavier than what it is. I think
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: it's really important that that one to oh, earning one
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: to O and earning the opportunity to cut it loose
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: on game day. It's still a process, right, and it
• 22:54
  Speaker 10: started to last January, and it carries over all the
• 22:56
  Speaker 10: way through the course of the week. And you don't
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: ray from that. The only thing you change of that
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: is you just make it better and better each and
• 23:04
  Speaker 10: every week, like you really dig deep as a coach,
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: how can I make this process better? But you don't
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: go about faced on a theme and a philosophy that
• 23:13
  Speaker 10: has that has brought you, you know, to this point,
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: and you know to come this far, you don't straight
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: from it to go farther. So we stay along the
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: lines of what we've been doing.
• 23:23
  Speaker 17: Christopherzackin said, you spoke about Fernando obviously a lot just now,
• 23:27
  Speaker 17: but their offensive gens Indiana on defense, just your questions
• 23:30
  Speaker 17: of them, what you see of defensively, they're.
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: The best overall team and best defense we have faced.
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: I know that their rankings and anything statistically important are
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: between one and five. And it starts with this. They're
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: really fast, physical, explosive, talented and smart. They play with
• 23:46
  Speaker 10: a lot of physicality, a lot of violence. They understand
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: their scheme top to bottom. They make it very challenging,
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: and I'll tell you why they are. They're multiple upfront,
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: they're multiple on the back end, and so the way
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: that they understand what you're doing so well, they set
• 24:01
  Speaker 10: up and line up in a manner where they challenge
• 24:03
  Speaker 10: their ideas. You know, they've done a great job confusing
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: opponent offensive lines with how they line up and how
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: they bluff and disguise what they're doing, not only the
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: front seven, but on the back end. That's a challenge
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: with them. And you got to understand these guys. They
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: played a lot of games together. A lot of these
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: guys came over from JMU. They went deep into the
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: playoffs right a year ago. They've been in the system
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: and have played a lot of ball together, and therefore
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: that's why you see the instantaneous reactions, right, the physicality
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: and the way that they the closing speed that they
• 24:37
  Speaker 10: have on a down after down basis, and on top
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: of all that, and I think it's really worth pointing
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: out from a technique and fundamental standpoint, that's what really
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: stands out to me, because they play with their feet
• 24:48
  Speaker 10: in the ground, with a great pad level and with
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: elite use of their hands. They understand how to leverage
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: the ball and what to do when they get there.
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: And they from a turnover margin standpoint, they're number one
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: the country and they played great complimentary football. You witness
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: some of it, you know, in their last game, but
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: if you look throughout the course of the season, from
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: the first series at Iowa through this last weekend with
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: the pick six and the force fumble and whatnot, they
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: do a great job playing complimentary football. Robulinson.
• 25:18
  Speaker 18: To continue in the experience theme, Carson started forty somethings
• 25:22
  Speaker 18: games in his career. Obviously, you talk year about the
• 25:25
  Speaker 18: poise in the leadership he shows, but poison one thing
• 25:28
  Speaker 18: poisoning you have three minutes for your season is a
• 25:31
  Speaker 18: very different animal when you look back at the drive,
• 25:37
  Speaker 18: where does that commnists that in a resolve?
• 25:40
  Speaker 10: Whatever you want to follow it a come from that.
• 25:42
  Speaker 18: He made it a very smart way he had to
• 25:45
  Speaker 18: make to win the game with everything riding.
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: On well, tribute to him, testament to him and his teammates.
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: So many different things on that drive right that we're
• 25:59
  Speaker 10: executed at a high level. You know, handful of third
• 26:02
  Speaker 10: downs that were not the easiest in the world, but
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: elite protection, elite route running, contested catches, being hard to tackle,
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: turning a third and twelve to a third and seven,
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: and said all those things, right, the margins we always
• 26:16
  Speaker 10: talked all year long, Right, the margins get smaller and
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: smaller and smaller as the year goes on. And the
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: margins were three minutes ago and ball in hand were
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: like this, and you know you will obviously we want
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: to play a cleaner game. There were some things that
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: we know that we took a step back in pre
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: snap penalty, some post snap IQ decisions, some alignment issues
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: which we feel great about correcting. But when it comes
• 26:43
  Speaker 10: down to it, the resilience toughness, the fact that we
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: just felt that that game, it just meant more to
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: our guys and they were going to find a way
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: to get it done. But you have to execute, and
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: they did. And I think all those Wednesdays when we
• 26:59
  Speaker 10: come out there in the two minute, which we've done
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: now for the year, I believe thirty seven. You know,
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: scenarios like that, and we go back and forth offense
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: when sometimes sometimes it's a defense. For them, it was
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: it was routine. Thank you.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: That's Mario Cristobal.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: And you know he brought up penalties, Uh, Indiana. I
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: mean they're they're top five and everything, as he mentioned,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: including penalty yards.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: They are second to Army in penalty yards. It's like.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Twenty yards penalties a game or something like that. Miami
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: was terrible in the semifinals. My gosh, they were horrible
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: with penalties. Some of it and many of those were
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: pre snap penalties. Okay, now now some of them like
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the holds and stuff like that. It's it's going to
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: depend on the officiating cruise men. I hope they don't
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: call a lot of penalties. We'll know early, you know,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: if they're going to start flagging holding penalties, on every play,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: which you can.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: We know.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I just like to see the team settle it right,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: penalize the egregious stuff. You got to penalize the pre
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: snap stuff.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I get that.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Otherwise, let them play, let the guys decide.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: I know that's a novel approach. I get that. But
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: they miami to have a shot. They've got to.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Clean up penalties, for sure. They can't have one hundred
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: yards worth the penalties. There's no way, because there is
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: nothing this season that would lead you to believe Indiana's
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: going to have, you know, fifty yards worth of penalties.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: They just don't do it, and it makes it puts
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: pressure on you to be perfect. Carson Beck was brilliant
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: in that last drive. He made three phenomenal throws to
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: win that game. He's got to be more.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Consistent. He has to be more consistent because again, there is.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Nothing that you've seen that would lead you to believe
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: that Mendoza is going to be anything other than brilliant. Right,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: eight touchdown passes, five incomplete passes. That's otherworldly, Okay, And
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the level at which this team plays is I've said
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: this repeatedly, it is so impressive. If you're a college
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: football fan so impressive. It is a machine. And you
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: can say, hey, these are old guys, yep. You can
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: say a lot of them play together, yep. But they
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: played at James Madison. Not taking anything away from James Madison.
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: But.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: You know, this a whole other level, and they have
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: responded from the beginning. So looking forward to Monday, you know,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: you never know. That's why they played the game. That's
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: why I still like sports. Well, I like some sports.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: You know, other sports like the NBA are fixed, so
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. The NFL's three quarters fixed. But most
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: of the time you look at games like this and
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: it's like, it's fun. If you watch college basketball last night,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: you saw like four buzzer beaters.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: It was really fun.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Miami would love to think they are in a buzzer
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: beater game on Monday. They would take that right now
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: and run with it. All right, We're going to take
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: a break. We've got the high school report coming up.

  Speaker 21: I'm Caleb Rapoli, and today we're jumping out to the

• 34:01
  Speaker 21: of the College Station boys basketball team, John stanzec coach.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: How are you doing today?
• 34:07
  Speaker 22: I'm doing great?
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: How are you doing pretty good?
• 34:10
  Speaker 21: Thank you so much for joining me today on the
• 34:12
  Speaker 21: show The Cougar's you know, eight and fifteen on the
• 34:15
  Speaker 21: season so far, one and three in district play, so
• 34:17
  Speaker 21: you know, still early parts of the district schedule. How
• 34:21
  Speaker 21: would you evaluate how your team's performed so far this year?
• 34:25
  Speaker 22: Yeah, I'd say that we're performing better than our records
• 34:28
  Speaker 22: shows we you know, if we had the strength of
• 34:31
  Speaker 22: schedule RPI number, we would have a really hard strength
• 34:36
  Speaker 22: to schedule. We scheduled our non district you know, all
• 34:41
  Speaker 22: six a's. I think nearly all of our non district
• 34:45
  Speaker 22: teams are going to end up being playoff teams in
• 34:47
  Speaker 22: their district. So U you know, we knew we had
• 34:50
  Speaker 22: a really hard district that played an up tempo, physical style,
• 34:56
  Speaker 22: and we wanted to schedule our non district opponents to
• 35:00
  Speaker 22: start to prepare for that. And so you know, we're
• 35:04
  Speaker 22: going to see how that goes. But evaluation less season
• 35:07
  Speaker 22: and you got a bunch of kids that you know,
• 35:10
  Speaker 22: fight hard and.
• 35:12
  Speaker 10: Love the game.
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you mentioned the strength of schedule.
• 35:15
  Speaker 21: Max perhaps actually has the strength of schedule factor that
• 35:19
  Speaker 21: they use in their rankings and compared to a lot
• 35:22
  Speaker 21: of the teams around you that have better record but
• 35:26
  Speaker 21: ranked similarly, like you said, your careers have a lot
• 35:29
  Speaker 21: a lot tougher schedule. So that's you know, always a
• 35:33
  Speaker 21: good factor to get those kids some tougher competition in
• 35:36
  Speaker 21: the tournaments before district play, you know, prepare them for
• 35:40
  Speaker 21: that schedule the you know, the games that count.
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 35:42
  Speaker 21: So what are what would you say are some of
• 35:43
  Speaker 21: the biggest strengths and maybe the biggest weaknesses of your
• 35:46
  Speaker 21: squad this year?
• 35:48
  Speaker 22: Uh, you know, strengths, We've got a lot of guys
• 35:50
  Speaker 22: that have multiple skill sets, you know, we have we're
• 35:54
  Speaker 22: not locked in positionally, uh, to any one style. A
• 35:58
  Speaker 22: lot of our bigs can handle the ball and can shoot,
• 36:01
  Speaker 22: and we actually have some pretty you know, strong tough
• 36:04
  Speaker 22: guards that can score inside. So you know, it makes
• 36:08
  Speaker 22: it makes creating lineups easy for us, and sometimes it
• 36:12
  Speaker 22: can be difficult for other teams, you know, if they're
• 36:15
  Speaker 22: if they're built too far in one direction, either size
• 36:19
  Speaker 22: or speed. You know, So it allows us to play
• 36:23
  Speaker 22: up tempo, allows us to play slow inside outside, you know,
• 36:28
  Speaker 22: depending on what the game stript is and uh, you
• 36:31
  Speaker 22: know what our strength is, we can play in a
• 36:33
  Speaker 22: lot of different directions.
• 36:35
  Speaker 21: So I was looking at your roster beforehand, and notice
• 36:37
  Speaker 21: that you have three players listed at six four or taller.
• 36:42
  Speaker 21: How big of a factor do you think the height
• 36:45
  Speaker 21: and the size of the players at this level, the
• 36:48
  Speaker 21: high school level, compared to you know, maybe the college
• 36:51
  Speaker 21: or pro level.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: How big of a factor does that play?
• 36:53
  Speaker 22: Oh, it's big, it's huge.
• 36:56
  Speaker 13: You know.
• 36:57
  Speaker 22: We we have a few guys with with size, and
• 37:01
  Speaker 22: you know here you know, in our program and just
• 37:06
  Speaker 22: at our school in general, we really prioritize the weight room.
• 37:09
  Speaker 22: So you know, we have some size height wise, but
• 37:12
  Speaker 22: you know, if you if you see our guys, we
• 37:15
  Speaker 22: you know we're pretty filled out too. And so whenever
• 37:18
  Speaker 22: it comes to you know, trying to get rebounds. That's
• 37:21
  Speaker 22: that's where we're trying to lean into. So it's not
• 37:26
  Speaker 22: just the height size, but you know, we've got some
• 37:29
  Speaker 22: stout kids too, and so it plays a huge factor
• 37:34
  Speaker 22: for us. Now you get to the college level, like
• 37:36
  Speaker 22: you know, you're talking about that everybody's got six age
• 37:39
  Speaker 22: six nine. We don't have that quite yet, but you know,
• 37:44
  Speaker 22: having a few guys that are six four and above
• 37:46
  Speaker 22: really helps, especially, like I said, with a few of
• 37:48
  Speaker 22: those guys having the ability to play some guard, you
• 37:51
  Speaker 22: can roll out a pretty large lineup and not lose
• 37:55
  Speaker 22: a lot of perimeter skill either.
• 37:57
  Speaker 21: So looking at the schedule, next up on the docket, uh,
• 38:01
  Speaker 21: Friday night, I'm guessing this is the district by So
• 38:04
  Speaker 21: you're filling in with Cornerstone Christian.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on that game?
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: Man?
• 38:08
  Speaker 22: Yeah, Cornerstone Christian. You know they're they're twenty and five.
• 38:14
  Speaker 22: You know, I know I know several of the of
• 38:17
  Speaker 22: the teams, uh that they that they've played. They actually
• 38:21
  Speaker 22: played the school right where I came from this last year,
• 38:24
  Speaker 22: Georgetown East View, and they're good. They played fast. You know,
• 38:29
  Speaker 22: they've got some shooting ability. They'll press you a little bit.
• 38:32
  Speaker 22: They Again, the way we constructed our schedule was our
• 38:36
  Speaker 22: next game lining up after that would be Brenham. You know,
• 38:39
  Speaker 22: we just we schedule people that were going to play
• 38:41
  Speaker 22: a certain style, play as tough, play as fast, so
• 38:44
  Speaker 22: that we can you know that we can train ourselves
• 38:47
  Speaker 22: to play against that style also, so you know that's
• 38:50
  Speaker 22: going to be a tough one.
• 38:52
  Speaker 21: Then you've got eight district games left on the year,
• 38:56
  Speaker 21: starting with Brenham, Like you mentioned, that's a road game.
• 38:59
  Speaker 21: The Cougar's currently sit and basically a tie for fourth place.
• 39:04
  Speaker 21: The top three teams in the district all with three wins,
• 39:07
  Speaker 21: the Cougar's, Montgomery and Brin them all with one win.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: So what are your thoughts on the district?
• 39:12
  Speaker 21: And you know, maybe again talking about the strength of schedule,
• 39:16
  Speaker 21: it's pretty solid district.
• 39:17
  Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean, this districts the killer And you know
• 39:20
  Speaker 22: when you're talking about being tied for fourth place, any
• 39:23
  Speaker 22: given night, whether your first place or last place, anybody
• 39:27
  Speaker 22: can beat anybody. And so there's a whole lot of
• 39:30
  Speaker 22: season left. You know, we're just we got to take
• 39:32
  Speaker 22: care of the of the next step and you know,
• 39:34
  Speaker 22: each week focus on the two opponents that we got
• 39:37
  Speaker 22: that we can take it one step at a time.
• 39:39
  Speaker 22: So right now, you know, our mind's on Cornerstone, and
• 39:43
  Speaker 22: then Saturday, you know, we're going to start prepping for Brinham,
• 39:46
  Speaker 22: and you know, hopefully all of the stuff that we've
• 39:48
  Speaker 22: done to prepare up until this moment, you know, kind
• 39:51
  Speaker 22: of gives us a head start on some of that preparation.
• 39:55
  Speaker 22: But yeah, the district's tough and everybody's fighting every night,
• 39:59
  Speaker 22: so we're just hoping, you know, that we're going to
• 40:01
  Speaker 22: be able to come out and play well and lock
• 40:04
  Speaker 22: in one of those top four spots you know at
• 40:07
  Speaker 22: the end of the season.
• 40:08
  Speaker 21: Yeah, districts like this where the geography of the district's
• 40:11
  Speaker 21: actually you know, really tight, with Brinham and Rudder and
• 40:15
  Speaker 21: then both of the College Station ID schools and Huntsville
• 40:18
  Speaker 21: all in the mix. I really enjoy when you have those,
• 40:22
  Speaker 21: you know, already kind of natural rivalryes.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: So that's a lot of fun to watch.
• 40:25
  Speaker 21: Yeah, definitely, Well, coach, I appreciate your time today and
• 40:28
  Speaker 21: we wish you luck throughout the rest of the season.
• 40:30

• 43:05
  Speaker 27: What's has been made about the Houston Texans quick turnaround
• 43:08
  Speaker 27: as the team that drew the short straw on playing
• 43:10
  Speaker 27: in the Monday night wild card game. It's one last
• 43:12
  Speaker 27: day for the Texans to recover, which could be impactful
• 43:15
  Speaker 27: for several key players injury wise. Wide receiver Nico Collins
• 43:19
  Speaker 27: is among those who are dealing with injuries. Collins left
• 43:22
  Speaker 27: Monday's game in Pittsburgh with a concussion, the second one
• 43:25
  Speaker 27: he's suffered this season, and now he'll need to work
• 43:28
  Speaker 27: through and pass concussion protocol in order to be available
• 43:31
  Speaker 27: for Sunday's game in New England. In the meantime, the
• 43:34
  Speaker 27: Texans defense has been the identity of the team and
• 43:37
  Speaker 27: the most dominant unit in the league. Head coach Tamiko
• 43:40
  Speaker 27: Ryans was asked about what's made them so good.
• 43:43
  Speaker 10: They're fast, they're physical.
• 43:45
  Speaker 28: The way they get out the ball, the way they
• 43:47
  Speaker 28: collapse the pocket.
• 43:48
  Speaker 10: It's a their terror.
• 43:50
  Speaker 29: The Texans will need that same type of effort on
• 43:53
  Speaker 29: Sunday in the AFC Divisional Round of the playoffs. Texans
• 43:56

• 45:37
  Speaker 32: station station.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us here on this Thursday afternoon. We
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: heard from Mario Chris Ball a little bit earlier. Now
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: let's hear a little bit more from Kurt Signetti from Indiana.
• 46:14
  Speaker 33: Yeah, Kurt, I know your offense has evolved and personnel
• 46:17
  Speaker 33: has obviously changed, but just facing Corey Heatherman ad kind
• 46:20
  Speaker 33: of any wrinkles. It's a game planning given his familiarity
• 46:24
  Speaker 33: with your scheme and Mike Shanahan, and I know you
• 46:28
  Speaker 33: mentioned that he is a bit different scheme wise than
• 46:31
  Speaker 33: Brian Haynes. Is what's unique about his kind of approach
• 46:35
  Speaker 33: versus Brian Well.
• 46:37
  Speaker 34: I think we've evolved offensively since you know, he was
• 46:41
  Speaker 34: my defensive coordinator first three years at GMU. We've evolved
• 46:46
  Speaker 34: offensively terminoal he has changed. We do things differently, But
• 46:50
  Speaker 34: his scheme has two now philosophically, you know, in terms
• 46:57
  Speaker 34: of what we think is important him and I that
• 47:00
  Speaker 34: hadn't changed.
• 47:01
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 47:02
  Speaker 34: You know, he's going to create havoc up front, Uh,
• 47:04
  Speaker 34: stop the run. TfL's sacks, they got forty seven sacks
• 47:08
  Speaker 34: on the year, and he's going to attack. The way
• 47:12
  Speaker 34: he goes about it is a little different than the
• 47:14
  Speaker 34: way he went about it at JMU, But you know
• 47:16
  Speaker 34: the way we go by the offensively is a little
• 47:18
  Speaker 34: different too. So, Uh, you know, I got a lot
• 47:21
  Speaker 34: of respect for Corey. He did a tremendous job when
• 47:25
  Speaker 34: I hated to see him go. I hold him in
• 47:29
  Speaker 34: very high regard. He's one of the best football coaches
• 47:32
  Speaker 34: I've ever been around. His day and day out intensity
• 47:35
  Speaker 34: and his commitment to the game is unparalleled. But I
• 47:39
  Speaker 34: was fortunate to have Brian Haynes on my staff who
• 47:43
  Speaker 34: was ready to step into that role. And they're you know,
• 47:46
  Speaker 34: they're a little different because they are different people. And uh,
• 47:49
  Speaker 34: you know Briant, uh, you know, likes to do a
• 47:53
  Speaker 34: lot of different things, and but we do them well.
• 47:56
  Speaker 34: But the philosophy is still the same in terms of
• 47:59
  Speaker 34: it all starts up. And uh, you know, statistically, since
• 48:02
  Speaker 34: Brian's taken over, you know, we it's about like it
• 48:06
  Speaker 34: was when Corey was a coordinator. You know, we're always
• 48:09
  Speaker 34: in the top five in total defense one or two
• 48:12
  Speaker 34: against a run, very high in TFLs and sacks and uh,
• 48:16
  Speaker 34: but you know, in terms of the schematics, you know,
• 48:20
  Speaker 34: Man's own that kind of blitzes the front. You know,
• 48:23
  Speaker 34: we've changed a little bit, and I've seen Corey change
• 48:26
  Speaker 34: based on what I'm seeing on tape.
• 48:31
  Speaker 11: Next up is Pete the Premio Pete.
• 48:33
  Speaker 25: Go ahead, Yeah, Hey, Kurt, I'm wondering with the D'Angelo
• 48:37
  Speaker 25: Pond's playing wide receiver.
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: Was that game specific?
• 48:41
  Speaker 25: Did you think about doing that during the regular season?
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: And have you ever played a guy two ways?
• 48:45
  Speaker 10: And if not, wouldge.
• 48:48
  Speaker 34: That was specific to a certain situation and down in
• 48:51
  Speaker 34: distance in this game against Oregon this past game. You know,
• 48:57
  Speaker 34: he's a tremendous athlete. He's got great stops dart speed
• 49:01
  Speaker 34: and quickness. He's a baller and you know he went
• 49:05
  Speaker 34: in and executed play perfectly, and they gave us the
• 49:08
  Speaker 34: look or we would throw the ball and not hand
• 49:09
  Speaker 34: it off, and then he outran him to the perimeter
• 49:12
  Speaker 34: and got the first down. You know, he was a
• 49:13
  Speaker 34: high school quarterback also, and there's a lot of things
• 49:17
  Speaker 34: he could probably do. And you know, we'll see how
• 49:20
  Speaker 34: much we use him over there this week.
• 49:25
  Speaker 11: All right, we'll go to the line now of Adam Rittenberg. Adam,
• 49:27
  Speaker 11: go ahead.
• 49:30
  Speaker 35: Hey, Kay, Kurt, appreciate your time. You know you mentioned
• 49:32
  Speaker 35: being a little short handed defensively. How are you guys
• 49:35
  Speaker 35: doing just from a health standpoint, freshness standpoint, Kamara and
• 49:38
  Speaker 35: others going into into this game on Monday.
• 49:41
  Speaker 34: Yeah, we came out really good, and you know, everybody
• 49:44
  Speaker 34: that played in the last game will playing this game.
• 49:47
  Speaker 35: And just really quickly, what do you think the legacy
• 49:50
  Speaker 35: of the guys you brought over from James Madison will
• 49:53
  Speaker 35: ultimately be at Indiana And has there been anything that
• 49:57
  Speaker 35: they've done or continue to do that surprised you at
• 49:59
  Speaker 35: this point?
• 50:01
  Speaker 34: Well, I think they've been a big part of you know,
• 50:04
  Speaker 34: what's transpired here especially year one in the transition. You know,
• 50:09
  Speaker 34: we had a lot of guys decided to stay, they
• 50:11
  Speaker 34: had the right stuff, a lot of new guys, the
• 50:14
  Speaker 34: jam you guys, you know probably represented about half of
• 50:18
  Speaker 34: the transfers we brought in in December, and they were
• 50:22
  Speaker 34: probably able to answer some questions for the new guys,
• 50:26
  Speaker 34: the returners to in terms of how we do things
• 50:28
  Speaker 34: and about me and the other coaches. So in terms
• 50:32
  Speaker 34: of their legacy. I don't think that book's final chapter
• 50:36
  Speaker 34: has been written yet and when when it has been written,
• 50:38
  Speaker 34: and I think we'll all have a clear idea.
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: Thank you.
• 50:44
  Speaker 11: Next we'll go to Sammy Jacobs savvy and go a head.
• 50:49
  Speaker 36: Coach, thanks for thanks for doing this. I wanted to
• 50:52
  Speaker 36: ask about Pac Hoogan and how easy it makes it
• 50:55
  Speaker 36: in film to a hammer home that he finished the
• 50:58
  Speaker 36: play when he's one of your sow yards downfield jumping
• 51:02
  Speaker 36: on a fumble. It's a second time he's done it
• 51:04
  Speaker 36: this year. Just how does that help the philosophy of
• 51:08
  Speaker 36: your team?
• 51:09
  Speaker 34: Well, he's a winner. Pat Coogan is a winner, and
• 51:12
  Speaker 34: but we got and we got a lot of guys
• 51:14
  Speaker 34: like Pat Coogan, but he's been a great addition, played
• 51:17
  Speaker 34: a lot of football Notre Dame. We needed a center.
• 51:20
  Speaker 34: He saw the opportunity.
• 51:22
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 51:22
  Speaker 34: He's been key to the development of the offensive line,
• 51:27
  Speaker 34: one of the leaders on our football team. And you know,
• 51:31
  Speaker 34: this team has really grown closer as the season's going on.
• 51:35
  Speaker 34: It's a very tight group. H And this team has
• 51:39
  Speaker 34: probably taken the message of how we want to play
• 51:42
  Speaker 34: and put it on the field to a greater extent
• 51:46
  Speaker 34: than any of the other teams we've had. And Pat's
• 51:50
  Speaker 34: a key part of that. He's very highly respected by
• 51:53
  Speaker 34: his teammates. He prepares great. I mean, you're on the
• 51:57
  Speaker 34: plane traveling, you see Pat back there. You know he's
• 52:02
  Speaker 34: he's reading his notes, writing things down. You know, game
• 52:06
  Speaker 34: means a lot to him. And the fact that he
• 52:09
  Speaker 34: was twenty yards downfield and recovered that fumble, you know,
• 52:12
  Speaker 34: it didn't surprise me a bit that it was Pat Coogan.
• 52:15
  Speaker 34: We just got to teach him now once he recovers it.
• 52:17
  Speaker 34: The role over properly, all.
• 52:21
  Speaker 11: Right, And our last question today will come from Chris Vanini. Chris,
• 52:24
  Speaker 11: go ahead, Brenanda Mendoza.
• 52:30
  Speaker 17: He talks to us in the media like a coach,
• 52:32
  Speaker 17: Like he sounds like a coach. I'm curious what is
• 52:35
  Speaker 17: his communication like within the team and within the program,
• 52:38
  Speaker 17: and when you're working with him.
• 52:41
  Speaker 34: Well, you know, Chandler Whitmered, Pribyu and Derek Owens, our
• 52:45
  Speaker 34: strength and conditioning coach, have more day and day out
• 52:49
  Speaker 34: involvement with Fernando than I do. And I can tell
• 52:54
  Speaker 34: you this that the best way to lead a team
• 52:56
  Speaker 34: is to perform well, especially at the quarterback position. You know,
• 53:00
  Speaker 34: I've never tried to like make that guy the leader
• 53:03
  Speaker 34: in springball because his performance will speak for itself. And
• 53:07
  Speaker 34: he he is highly highly respected, uh in the locker room.
• 53:13
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 53:13
  Speaker 34: And you know, the way he's played speaks for itself.
• 53:17
  Speaker 34: I mean I thought he was excellent against Oregon and
• 53:19
  Speaker 34: he's just you know, even since the Heisman Trophy. Uh,
• 53:23
  Speaker 34: you know, uh, he's upped his level of play. And uh,
• 53:28
  Speaker 34: you know, he's a special guy. I mean, he's extremely
• 53:31
  Speaker 34: intelligent and uh and people recognize that. And you know,
• 53:35
  Speaker 34: he says the right things and he'll be really successful
• 53:38
  Speaker 34: one day when football ends, whatever it is he chooses
• 53:41
  Speaker 34: to do. And he's got a great relationship with the
• 53:45
  Speaker 34: guys and and you know it's mainly the older guys obviously, Uh,
• 53:49
  Speaker 34: those guys hang together and uh, but I think what
• 53:53
  Speaker 34: he's done behind the scenes to uh, you know, to
• 53:56
  Speaker 34: bring the offensive unit even closer together, and that's a lot.
• 54:01
  Speaker 34: Those are a lot of things that I'm not aware
• 54:03
  Speaker 34: of at the time to find out later. You know,
• 54:06
  Speaker 34: he's just done a tremendous job in every single area
• 54:10
  Speaker 34: where you could impact team's success. He's been front and center.
• 54:16
  Speaker 17: When you do talk with him, do you come away
• 54:18
  Speaker 17: just impressed it his maturity and the way he kind
• 54:22
  Speaker 17: of carries himself and talks to you.
• 54:25
  Speaker 34: You know, when I talk to him, the conversations are
• 54:27
  Speaker 34: usually pretty short and he doesn't say a lot in
• 54:29
  Speaker 34: the building or on the practice field. He's not a
• 54:31
  Speaker 34: vocal guy. Where you, I think get a full taste
• 54:35
  Speaker 34: of Fernando Mendoza's is during the interview process, you know,
• 54:39
