  Speaker 1: Final segment with coach Jim Morire in the Yukon Football
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Coaches Show, and then as mentioned, Malachai McClain and Mel Brown,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the two number sevens, will join us as the player interviews. Well,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: UMass is the opponent. I believe this is game number
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: seventy seven with the minute Men, one of the longer
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: rivals in Yukon's football career. They come in at two
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and nine. But as you have said so many times
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to Mike and the media, the records don't matter. This
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is a team that gave Georgia a pretty good battle
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: last Saturday down in Athens, and they're respectable offensively, they
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: can put points on the board.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're a good football team. I mean they're physical upfront.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: They have two quarterbacks that they they're both effective. I
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: like their receivers. I think they run the ball really
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: hard with those two backs, and they're a good football team.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: You know, we don't look at the records. We just
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: look at the film and we see on film as impressive.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: You know, you certainly take notice, and yeah, it's going
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: to be a we have to just have a great
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: week of preparation so that we give ourselves a chance
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to go up there and compete to win.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: One of those quarterbacks is aj Harriston, young man out
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of Florida. He's a freshman. Looks like he has decent size.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's about six two two twenty here I can
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: take exactly. I mean he's yeah, you know, you watch
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: him on film and you do notice it. He's got size.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: He's uh, he's a good looking kid. He's uh, let
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: me find it. I can't find it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Not, don't worry about it. I think it's about six
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: ' three something like that.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a good looking kid. Good looking kid.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Mike uh, Mike Jim Uh. They just recently made a
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: quarterback change and going to the two younger guys. So
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: how far back do you look at the at at
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: UMass game film.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: We look at every game they played, so we'll look
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: at eleven games plus the game against him last year.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, we don't we don't typically leave any stone unturned,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: so we are well, look at at everything. We'll go
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: back and we'll look at the guy that's calling the plays,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: whoever that may be. For any game we're playing. We'll
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: go back and look at if he's coming from an
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: other school, will go back and look at you know,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: games past, seasons past, You're always trying to figure out
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: how they're going to try to attack you and figure
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: out the best way to attack them.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Are there running back? The running back duel of Jalen
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and Hester, how different? How similar?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: They both just run really hard. I mean size wise,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you know, Jalen John's a little bit bigger, but on film,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: they both just look like really powerful, tenacious runners. They
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: don't go down easy, they keep moving their feet, they
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: move forward, they fight for yards. I think they're both
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: really good backs.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: What about you mass defensively, Keith Tazinski is the defensive coordinator.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: A couple of linebackers, Jalen Stewart no not the basketball
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: player who plays at Yukon and Jerrell Johnson on their
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: top two tacklers. And you know, linebackers are usually the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: leading tacklers. But what do you see defensively as far
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: as their scheme goes, Well.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: They're doing, you know, some of the things that they
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: did with coach Brown, and then you know they're moving
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: into some of the things that you know are different,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and you know Dodzinski, he wants to put his flavor
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: on things. And you know, they made a statement in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: their press conference yesterday that they're they're throwing wrinkles in defensively.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: But the one thing you notice is that they they
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: play hard, They fundamentally sound, they get to the football.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: They present a lot of different variations to you in
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: terms of front and coverage structure. You know, they can
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: be in a in a four down look, a three
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: down look, and in you know, down to down. They're
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna change, They're gonna get difficult. They don't
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: just sit in one thing. And uh, you mentioned their linebackers. Now,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Stewart went out last week with a little lower body injury,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: so I'm not sure how he's gonna be on Saturday.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: But Darrell Johnson, we think we will think both those
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: guys are really good players. Durell he's you know, he's healthy,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: he's got forty starts. I mean, he's he's a really
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: good football player. So you have to count for those guys.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: A couple more minutes with Jim. We have the Thanksgiving holiday.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It's game week, so nothing changes in a way of
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: game prep. But what do you have playing for the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: boys on Thanksgiving? Us for as dinner goes with this
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: big family of yours.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll have our normal meetings in the morning, our
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: normal practices. Thursday is typically a day that we we

  Speaker 2: don't meet in the afternoon so that it's just right
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: for us. For Thanksgiving, we're going to have a Thanksgiving
• 4:16
