  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Yukon Football Coaches Show.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Husky's hit the road, go to Houston, take on Rice
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Owls who have a new coach, and we'll talk about
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: them in just a moment.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: But first back with Jim Mora.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Juice Faren had four catches eighty two yards against Boston College,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: a fifty yard or a fourteen yarder and two touchdowns.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: And Jim is one of my favorite players.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I start watching a guy play the game and you
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: see some of the things he does and you can't
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: wait for a breakout.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And I think we had that on Saturday. Is that
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: fair to say?
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: I hope, so, I hope you're right. You know, we
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: have a lot of respect for Juice. He's very talented.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: He can do a lot of different things. He's versatile,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: and it's kind of been coming. You know, you've seen it.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: You've seen him get close several times to making that
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: big play and to see it happen a couple of
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: times on Saturday was great. It's a payout, payoff for
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: the work that he's been doing and just stick to
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: it in this that he's had.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: So hopefully, you know that.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Leads to more opportunities and more big plays because he's.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: He's not easy to defend.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: You know, he's a very savvy route runner, He's very smart.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: He has a great feel for the game, and he's
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: got nice hands. So and he's got a great personality.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: You know, he's the kind of guy he just loves
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: to be around.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: He does I mean on the depth chart, do you
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: call him a tight end? Do you call him a slot?
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Do you call him a white wide receiver?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: What? What is his category?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Well, he's an F in our terminology, which is a
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you know, more of a receiving tight end. I'm not
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: sure our other teams treat him whether they treat him
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: as a tight end or a wide out. And I
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: think that's one of the beauties of having a guy
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: like that, as you're forcing a coordinator to determine how
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: they want to treat him. You know, what personnel group
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: are we in, uh determining? You know, is he a
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: tight end? Is he a wide out? Are they going
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: to use him as a running back? It's a little
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: bit the same with lou Ansen. You know, is he
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: a back? Is the a tiight end? You know, we
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: split him out, So you want to create as much
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: much disruption as you can.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: You want to create.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Confusion for a defense, you know, you want to create
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: uncertainty for a defense and how they're going to call
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: a game, and having guys like Juice and Lou that
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: really helps us do that.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have alex Hanago out a nice game
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: against Boston College. I'm looking at Yukon's offenses if I'm
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: trying to defend him. And when you can bring in
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: a Nator Churchy and add some you know, John Knider
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to whatever setup you have with the receiving core, that
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: puts the defense a little bit on notice, doesn't it
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to kind of make adjustments on the fly.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Is that how it works?
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I think yeah, theoretically, yeah, it does. I'm not sure,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: you know, with each coordinator is a little bit different,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: like how they prepare. They prepare for players, they prepare
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: for scheme, you know, I mean, you prepare for both,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: but you know, where do you put most of your
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: efforts and energy. I just think the more the more
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: variables you can present to a defense, the harder it
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: is to prepare. And I know that, you know, as
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: a defensive coordinator myself, when you have troubles zeroing in
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: on what a team's going to do and how they're
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: going to use players. You know, it makes it a
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: little bit more difficult to defend.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Yukon is on the road at Rice on Saturday, coming
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: off first Power Conference road wins since twenty twelve. Husky's
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: beat Maryland at their place in Louisville as well, and
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: we talk about winning on the road.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: We've talked about it a few times.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know, is it more satisfying or is there
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: even a reason to say that, because I always feel
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: like when you go to the other guy's place, if
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: it's football, basketball, the best sound is that quiet sound
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: when you're leaving the stadium with the arena where the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: other teams fans have nothing to say.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: No. I mean, that's nice, but that's for us. We
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: just want to win, you know, we just want to win.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: And we don't talk about that stuff very much, Mike,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I mean a little bit. You know, you do talk about, hey,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: we got to go on the road, and these are
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the demands of going on the road. But our expectations
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: are that no matter who we play, where we play,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: what time we play, what the conditions are that we
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: have to have a standard that we play up to.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: You know, otherwise you become inconsistent, and we don't want
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: to be inconsistent.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: We want to reach consistency.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And so the only way to do that, in my opinion,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: is continue to focus on the things that you deem
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: to be priorities over.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: And over and over and over and over and over
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: and over again.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: And that's what we've really tried to do, and I
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: think our players have embraced that.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's valuable, no question.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Quick thoughts on defense before we take a break, and
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: we'll we'll get back with a little bit on rice
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: here on the Yukon Football Coaches Show, Mike Crispino and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Jim Mora, Brian param come on. Nine solo tackles, fourteen tackles,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: two tackles for losses.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: This guy sacks. I forgot that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Yeah, I don't forget that.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: No, I was going to get to the sacks.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: But anyway, you know, when you have a guy that's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: involved in that many plays on the defensive side, that's
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: like a glue guy, isn't it. I Mean, I know
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: that's kind of like a hockey term whatever, but it is,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: isn't it That I have a linebacker who's in all
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: that stuff.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Well, that's what linebackers are supposed to do.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: You know, they're they're going to be the guys that
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: have the most tackles. And yeah, I mean he's very
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: much a glue guy for us, but he's also an
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: impact guy, you know. I mean our guys rally around him,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: and he's a damn good football player. You don't necessarily
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: expect linebackers to have this type of production that he's
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: had rushing the passer. And and he's a really good
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: pass rusher as well, And he understands how to rush
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: rush the passer, and he understands how when we design
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: a pressure for a linebacker, he understands how it works
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: and what the protection is going to do to influence
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: things and how he has to adjust productions and all
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: those things. So he's a really smart football player. He's
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: a very discipline football player, and he's a very hard worker.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And finally, before we go to the break, how much
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: if an advantage for you in the secondary, imagine you're
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: playing defensive back or safety, is it to have your
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: front group of players making creating pressure, getting sacks, making
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a cut back.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: You know, deliver it before he wants to.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I mean sacks, interceptions, pass breakups, those kind of you know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: it's never just the secondary or the rush, you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: just working together. You know, there's nothing better than a
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: coverage sack. There's nothing better than a you know, a
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: defensive end just winning quickly in a in a situation
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: where a corner is you know, on an island, to
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: take some pressure off the corner. So, you know, I
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: think that having an understanding up front what's happening behind you,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and having an understanding is a defensive back what's transpiring
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: up in front of you along the defensive line and
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: linebackers just critical to having success, you know, rushing the
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: passer and defending the pass. And our guys seem to
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: have a pretty good feel for how that works. That's
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: a credit to the staff and the way they teach them.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: And it's a credit to our players and that the
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: emphasis that they've put on learning, you know, the crossover stuff,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: the conceptual things that really make a difference if you
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: want to be a good team.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, big challenge ahead, Rice, We'll talk about that just
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a moment. Jim Morrow returns. This is the Yukon football
