  Speaker 1: Those guys. But anyway, yeah, you're right, you can't keep
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: track of who the hell's playing. I mean, Texas and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma now playing all these SEC teams.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: It's just I know, it's just strange.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Let me just get one thing here and I don't
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: want to put in front of me. Okay, all right, else, Yeah,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: we got about twenty seven minutes to do four segments. Okay,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: here we go.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: All right, you're rolling.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Yukon Football Coaches Show. Tuesday nights, we
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: get together with Jim Moore or recap what happened on
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the weekend, look ahead to the opponent coming up, and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: lots of good things coming out of that Saturday night.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you want to call it, like
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a runathon. Every time the ball was in Yukon's hands,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the ball was handed off and the ball went forward
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and Yukon gained a record breaking them out of yards
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: on the ground and coach, it doesn't seem like it
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: matters who you gave the ball to because you're getting
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: positive yard is just about every time. How you know how,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say relieving is that? But as
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a coach standing there watching it, when your team's doing it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: What is that like?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: It's nice. It feels good. You know, when you were
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: able to run the ball against anybody, you have a
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: you have a chance to kind of just take the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: air out of them, especially when you're doing it at home,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: when you're win. When you're doing it at home, it's great.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: When you're doing it on the road, you know, you
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: get their crowd, you know, standing in their seats. It's just,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: you know, it's really you go back and you look
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: at the genesis of football. It's all about that physicality
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: up front and being able to run the ball. Now,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I've ever been in a game
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: where a team I've been associated with is run it
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: sixty six times. That's that's a lot. That surprised me. Uh.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: But it's a great feeling, it really is, and I
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: think it just gives your team energy. But you know what,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: it's not always going to be like that, And if
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: we have to throw it, I feel confident that we
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: can we can throw it as well. So but it's
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: good to it's good to go out and have a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: dominant run game.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jim Mora with us as the Hussy to go
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: two and two on a year, largest longest home stands
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: for Yukon since two thousand and four when they played
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: four in a row. You got five more here. But
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I know the way you are, you're not looking ahead.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: This Buffalo team three and one. Now, this is a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: three and one start for them. They've been an FBS
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: team since nineteen ninety nine, but only three times. It's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the third time in twenty five years that they have
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: gotten off to a three and one start. So those
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: folks who are coaching the Bulls, I'm sure are preaching fellas,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: this is our year.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Well, they're a good football team. You know. They play
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the way that the game's supposed to be played. They're physical,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: they're strong upfront, they tackle well. Offensively, they take care
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: of the ball, they commit to the run when they
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: throw it. They don't make errors in the passing game.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: They played really good special teams. Their head coach is
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: a special teams coordinator before he became a head coach.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Along with that, you know, they're a MAC team, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you know MAC teams are known to be gritty and tough,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and this team is gritty and tough. They're not gonna
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: They're not gonna give up. They're not gonna quit. They're
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: gonna keep fighting. They're gonna keep coming at you, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it should be one heck of a good football game.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Bulls are not an explosive offensive team. They're averaging
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: about two sixty seven a game yardage wise, twenty two
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: points a game. But we're gonna talk about this as
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we go on in the show tonight. They get after
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you on defense. I mean, the tackle for loss numbers
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: are astounding to me. When I saw a couple of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: guys have like nine eight tackles for loss, I mean,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that tells you that their defense is getting in the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: backfield and making some things happen.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they get up the field, you know. They they
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: they attack, They'll get an edge on offensive lineman and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: try to get up the field. And then they've got
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: two inside linebackers that come downhill fast and make plays
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: and they're very aggressive in the way they play defense
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and it's impressive to watch. Got a lot of respect
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Sean Dolak, number fifty two, number two, Red Murdoch
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: are going to get your attention, that's for sure. On
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the weekend, back to the Saturday night game, we all
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: talked about all the transfers everybody is bringing into their
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: program over that across the country. You kind of twenty
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: seven of them. I just counted, coach looking at some
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: stats and just looking at these first four games, you've
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: got at least fourteen of those transfers contributing mightily to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: your team. And that's a pretty good percentage. I would
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: think if you were, you know, bringing guys in hoping
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: they're going to help you. I think Yukon has done
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a pretty good job with their transfers.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we hit on some guys, you know, and that's
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: going to be critical, not only you know, this year,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: but going forward, is being able to make sure that
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: we are able to evaluate quickly the guys that entered
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the portal, get a feel for their personalit and their
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: motivation for being in the portal, and then have the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: opportunity to bring them in. You know. One of the things,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: as you know very well, and people probably already knows,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I've said it enough, that's helped us so much as
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the ability to compete a little bit in the NIL space.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: You know, the world of college football college athletics has
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: changed dramatically in the last few years, and and we
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: had some people that really stepped up this year and
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: helped us financially, which is, you know, a big risk
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and something that's hard to do. And you know, we
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: did the best we could to bring in the right
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: types of people and the right types of players. And
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: as you said, a lot of these guys are paying off,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and there will be more that payoffs this season goes
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: on and as their careers going on. So I'm excited
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, someone a long time ago, back in American history
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: called this country the land of opportunity, and someone I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: thought tagged you guys like that too, And in my mind,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: that's really a great label in a sense. So like
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: if people look at you obviously know your background and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: your ability and what you've done in the pros, all
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: that stuff, and then they look at Yukon Football and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: they go, man, that's a land of opportunity. I can
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: go there and make some stuff happen that could go
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a long way towards, you know, long term, making this
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: program very, very viable.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: That's a great way to put it. There's a lot
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: of opportunity here and we have we have a really
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: good staff, We have really good people here on this campus.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: We have tremendous support now from our alumni and and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: boosters that are willing to make that financial commitment. And
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: it's a great place to live and go to school academically.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: So there's tremendous opportunity here. And I know that as
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: we go on, our opportunities to be competitive in the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: NIL space if it ends up being nil, if they
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: you know, we'll see if it's revenue sharing or nil.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Whenever all that's settled is only going to increase. So
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, if we can just stay on
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: point and not get off track, and stay focused on
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the things we think are important, and we have a
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: chance to get better over the next few years.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Jim Moore with us, this is our choosing. I get
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: together the Yukon Football Coaches Show. We'll talk a little
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: bit later on with Chris Freeman, the place kicker that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: came from Indiana, and Nick Evers, the quarterback who is
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a Texas kid, was at Oklahoma in Wisconsin now at Yukon.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: All that coming up as we can chinue our coverage
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of Yukon football on lear Field
