  Welcome to the Yukon Football Coaches Show Mike chris Pino along with Jim Moore.
• 0:04
  A little bit later on in the show, we'll have Chase Lund the offensive
• 0:07
  tackle, Joe McFadden the place kicker. But we kick it off with the
• 0:11
  coach on a bye week or after a bye week and after a win as
• 0:15
  yu Can broke through at Rice a couple weeks ago, thirty eight to thirty
• 0:19
  one, coming from fourteen points down in the game. Coach, what was
• 0:24
  the most important thing that happened in that game at Rice in your mind?
• 0:31
  Well, I think there was a lot of things. It's hard to tell
• 0:35
  you what the most important was, you know, I think you have to
• 0:38
  look at the fact that the team showed great resilience in coming back from a
• 0:43
  fourteen to nothing deficit on the road. And the reason that happened is because,
• 0:50
  well, number one, they were a resilient bunch. But they and
• 0:52
  they work hard and they believe in each other. But we made a couple
• 0:55
  of plays that really helped us get back in that game. You know,
• 0:59
  obviously the funck Force fumble by Price that Julani picked up, you know on
• 1:04
  the one, and then Jackson getting the fumble and scoring, you know,
• 1:10
  all of a sudden you look up and you're you're back in the game.
• 1:12
  And that's what you have to be able to do in any game. And
• 1:15
  when you're on the road it's it's especially important. And when you're trying to,
• 1:21
  you know, get off the schneide and get a win, it's extremely
• 1:23
  important. And so I think that's not one thing, but that's several things
• 1:27
  that I think that needed to happen, and they did happen. Yeah,
• 1:30
  you faced, excuse me, a team in Rice that had three wins.
• 1:34
  They were a high octane offense. They were kind of rolling as the sea
• 1:38
  as the game began and they got fourteen points on the board right away.
• 1:42
  Those takeaways the last two weeks, six of them by the Huskies, and
• 1:47
  that's been to me the most important thing in a way that look, you
• 1:52
  look like last year's team a little bit. I'm not looking back. I'm
• 1:55
  just saying this team, when they start turning people over, it's a lot
• 2:00
  of energy and it really seemed to catapult the offense forward. That's what you're
• 2:05
  looking for, you know, to play and I think you and I have
• 2:07
  talked about this, playing a complete game where all three phases contribute to a
• 2:13
  win. And that happened because it wasn't just the defensive takeaways, but it
• 2:16
  was the takeaway on the punt and then the other opportunities we had with the
• 2:21
  ball in our hands. You know, there's a couple of plays where Isaiah
• 2:24
  had chances to make big plays. So getting around the ball is what you
• 2:29
  want to do on defense and on special teams, and then having an offense
• 2:32
  that capitalizes is critical and that's we have to continue to emphasize and work on,
• 2:38
  and then we have to be able to do it on Saturdays. Yeah.
• 2:43
  Back to that that Jackson Mitchell return of the fumble. Wow, I
• 2:49
  mean I had the perfect angle in the broadcast move I could not tell if
• 2:53
  that was a forward pass. It looked right on the line. It was
• 2:55
  a tough call. It went Yukon's way, thankful, but Mitchell taken off
• 3:00
  with the football, a guy like him sprinting down the sideline, and that
• 3:05
  had to be a good feeling for all of you guys on the sideline.
• 3:08
  I felt good, but I was like you, I was worried they were
• 3:13
  going to bring it back. And I saw the replay and it looked like,
• 3:16
  you know, it looked like it was a good call, but I
• 3:19
  was just hoping we could get the snap off on the extra point before they
• 3:23
  decided to review it. But they review all scores and they must reviewed it
• 3:28
  and felt like it was a good call, and hey, I'll take it
• 3:30
  right if it was close and it went our way, we'll take it.
• 3:34
  We need a little of that. Yeah, big plays offensively, cam ross
• 3:38
  that long TD reception and then justin Jolie putting it away, breaking a tackle
• 3:44
  and going the distance. That's something you know, Husky's hadn't had in the
• 3:49
  formula the first few weeks in the month of September. Boy, it's nice
• 3:53
  to get those big plays and score in one shocking play. Yeah, it
• 3:57
  hasn't really been something we've been able to do consistently, you know, for
• 4:02
  a year and a half, and we've been working towards that, and I
• 4:05
  think having a quarterback that's got a lot of confidence and has the talent that
• 4:11
  Takekwon has helps us do those things. And you know, being able to
• 4:15
  put some points upon the board and contributing all three phases is something that hasn't
• 4:19
  happened around here in a long time. Is the first time in since twenty
• 4:24
  ten that we've had back to back thirty point games, you know, so,
• 4:29
  which is pretty common in football now to just throw up thirty. So
• 4:31
  you know, we've got to keep stressing all three phases, contributing and getting
• 4:38
  points and getting takeaways and breaking tackles and throwing deep and continue to be aggressive
• 4:44
  as a football team. Yes, seventy one points in the last two games
• 4:47
  for the Huskies. You know, we've been saying I've been saying this.
• 4:51
  Maybe I'm crazy, but I mean, this team to me is like a
• 4:55
  five hundred ball club, even though the record says it isn't. And you
• 4:59
  can't sit there and say I wish it was. But I feel like going
• 5:02
  into the second half of the season, this ball club could really turn some
• 5:06
  heads. Where's your head on that? Well, I hope that your feeling
• 5:12
  is right. My feeling is one game at a time. I think it
• 5:15
  has to be that I've found with myself. If I get carried away with
• 5:19
  what you know, it's too far down the road. It's not healthy for
• 5:24
  me. I hope you're right. But you know, for us, we
• 5:29
  have to win this week. You know, we have to find a way
• 5:31
  to be desperate to win and then play that way on Saturday and then we'll
• 5:38
  worry about the next one after that. But I think what great performers do
• 5:42
  is they focus on the now. You know, you don't lose track of
• 5:46
  the big picture obviously, but you focus on the now. And I think
• 5:48
  that's so critical, especially with young players that seem to have I'm not talking
• 5:55
  about our team, I'm talking about young players in general, so I guess
• 5:58
  I am talking about our team in a sense. But to have more emotional
• 6:00
  ups and downs, you know, based on wins and losses, where my
• 6:03
  experience tells me professionals, you know, move week to week, So we
• 6:08
  have to just embrace that attitude of moving week to week and being the best
• 6:12
  we can be that particular week. Or with Jim Moore of the Yukon Football
• 6:17
  Coaches Show, we'll be back talk about Taekwon Roberson on a real role here
• 6:21
