  Speaker 1: Back with Jim Moore of the Yukon Football Coaches Show
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: continues on word and upward. It's FIU Florida International at
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the Rent Saturday three point thirty kickoff. Be there early
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and get in the stadium. Get behind these guys Ukon
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: now trying to win a couple games in a row
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: here and get the four and two as we get
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to the break in the football season and the bybe
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: week well coach. The FIU team comes in off a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: win over FAU. They had won thirty eight to twenty
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: eight win. That's a good win for them. They ran
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the ball for two hundred and twenty four yards in
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that game. Is that something that gets your attention right away?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Right away? It gets it right away, you know. And
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: it's not only their great running back. I'm not going
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: to pronounce his name, but I know his number and
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I know he's a damn good player. But it's also
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: their quarterbacks ability to make plays in the open field.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that gets your attention immediately. You know, teams
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: running the ball, playing keep away some of them. We've
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: got to be able to We've got to be able
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: to stop. We've got to be able to get him
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: in the third and passing situation. So at least we
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: you know, we can make him maybe a little bit
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: more predictable than if they're in third and four, third
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: and five, third and six all the time.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Keewan Jenkins is the quarterback. He wears number one. He's
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: left handed.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: We're going to get that.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: We're going to get that in a second. But they
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: throw for one hundred and seventy five a game, which
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: is not a huge number, but the fact that he
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: can run with the football and he can throw it
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that is a problem.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, anytime you've got a dual threat quarterback,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: it puts additional stress on your defense. And you know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: his runs, he's a good runner. Just if they have
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: design runs, he can do that. But what's really impressive
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: is when he drops back to pass and nothing's there
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and he's able to slip out from the pass rush
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and get into the open field, and his speed and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: his elusiveness is what's really impressive. You made some really
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: good plays, big plays with his legs and passing situations.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Now he's also been able to run it, you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: on design runs or quarterback keeps or options or zone
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: reads and things like that. So you know we played
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: against him, so we know this kid. And it was
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: two years ago and he was young and he impressive then.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And now he's a guy. This guy a couple of
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: years under his belt and he's more mature and more physical,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: big or stronger, faster, has experienced. So he's a heck
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: of a challenge. He's a damn good player.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: They're a team that takes chances. They're on fourth down,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they've gone thirteen times and they've made it eight times,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: so sixty one percent there. That's that gets my attention.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: And defensively in the red zone against the opposition, they've
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: held the opposition out of the end zone let's say
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: eleven out of eighteen times, So that's pretty good number
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think they're sixteenth in the country in red
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: zone defense, and that is an important statistic obviously. And
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you know, field goals are one thing, but stopping touchdowns
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: is huge and they're really good at it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: So if you look at their ability on fourth down,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: is when you're preparing for a team like that, are
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you just expecting they're going to go on fourth down?
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: You're not even thinking I'm sending that punt return unit
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: in No, we you got to wait and see what
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: they're doing. And because they love to go on fourth down.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Well, it even affects third down. Mike. That's what's interesting
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: is that, depending on field position, you might have a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: third and seven and you think it's an automatic kind
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: of pass down. But knowing that they're a team that'll
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: go for it on fourth down, if they get it
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to like fourth and two, you know, maybe it's not
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: an automatic pass down, you know, and so you kind
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: of have to play third down a little bit differently.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: You have to sequence it, you have to say, well,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: for them in this situation, third down is not a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: get get them stopped and they're gonna punt or kick
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a field goal. It's get them stopped. But if it's
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: third or fourth and two, fourth and one, even fourth
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and three, depending on field position, they may go for it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So it demands kind of a different philosophy of defense
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: on those third down plays that gets you to the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: fourth down situation.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Just about a minute or so left with Jim Moore
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: here in this segment, I wanted to mention their secondary Jim,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and I know you appreciate defense. They got four guys
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: back there that have interceptions and they're this guy Josiah
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: mcgrew's got an interception. He's a freshman. Shamir Sterling, he's
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a red shirt freshman, a guy named mister Clark, number
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: twenty seven. He's got four breakups and an interception. He's
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: only a red shirt sophomore. I mean they got some
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: young guys who know how to play football back there.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and they played tighte man coverage and they
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: play with a lot of confidence and their coaches have
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of confidence in them. And then you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you didn't mention one guy that I'm gonna mention because
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I know his family very very well. Brian Blades. Yeah,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, you remember Benny Blades. Oh yeah, and the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: whole Blades family is Brian Blades and Brian Senior. I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: mean you talk about football royalty, especially in South Florida,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you say Blades, yepeople respect it. So yeah, I mean
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: in that kid, he can ball, he can play. So
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it's a hell of a secondary And like I said,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: they play a lot of tight man coverage, so we're
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: gonna have to figure out ways to try to beat man.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be fun to watch, I'll tell you that.
• 5:00
