  Up next foil the football Huskies trip to Houston a date with the Rice Owls,
• 0:04
  and coverage begins at three thirty with Bob Joyce, the Heart Auto Group
• 0:07
  countdown to kick off. Then Wayne Norman, Adam Giardino and myself we'll bring
• 0:11
  it the game broadcast at five here along the Yukon Sports Networking online be at
• 0:15
  the Varsity Network app and the Varsity Network dot Com. Back with Jamara for
• 0:19
  a few more minutes. We'll be joined by Dalmont Gordine a little later on
• 0:23
  and Cam Rowans, the wide receiver of the Huskies. Coach. Quick thought
• 0:27
  on Dalmont and that defensive line, I mean, that's the strength of this
• 0:31
  team. And you've been able to control the other team's rushing attack here the
• 0:35
  last few weeks. How important is that to your overall defensive effort to have
• 0:40
  your d lineman having these kind of games, Well, it's critical. You
• 0:44
  have to stop the run. You can't let a team be two dimensional.
• 0:48
  And then when you stop the run, you got eliminate the big plays.
• 0:50
  And as you know, that's you know, that was the problem on Saturday.
• 0:54
  But without the ability to stop the run, you know they got they
• 0:58
  got you either way. You know, our defensive line plays well. You
• 1:03
  know, we ask our linebackers and our secondary support in the run as well.
• 1:06
  You know, everyone's got a responsibility. So it's a real group effort,
• 1:08
  just like RUSSI. Just like pass coverage is a is a group effort.
• 1:12
  You know, you need pass rush, you need good coverage, you
• 1:15
  need linebackers in position underneath. So defense is you know, I think sometimes
• 1:22
  we we we give too much credit or too much blame to one group when
• 1:27
  something's going right or wrong. We're defensive. Defensive football is the ultimate team
• 1:33
  proposition. It really is, you know. And so man, I don't
• 1:37
  disagree with you. The d lines is a good group, but it's a
• 1:41
  function of all eleven playing well together that's going to make you successful. Yeah,
• 1:46
  for a minute, I thought I was talking to Pete Carrolldy, a
• 1:48
  Seahawks coach. They were work and rolled over the Giants, sacking Daniel Jones
• 1:53
  ten times. Oh I felt so bad that would happened. I didn't know
• 1:56
  that. Oh, oh, Jim, it was bad. I gotta say
• 1:59
  tis. Oh they emptied the stadium, it was and they random football.
• 2:04
  That's what got me on this track. They random football. And then you
• 2:07
  know they threw it when they needed to, et cetera. But they were
• 2:10
  harassing Daniel Jones, a quarterback. Hey had no time. I'm telling you
• 2:14
  a second and a half. You better get rid of the ball or you're
• 2:16
  on your back. That's how bad when you stuck the run and you make
• 2:21
  a team one dimensional. Especially in the NFL where team teams are so tendencied
• 2:25
  and points are hard to come by, you can just pin years back and
• 2:30
  go after a quarterback when you get him in that situation where they can't run
• 2:34
  the ball. In college football, with all the RPOs and the zone reads
• 2:38
  and the goofy crazy things offensive coordinators come up with, and the tempo offenses,
• 2:45
  you know, it's not easy. It's it's easier to get back into
• 2:47
  a game than it is in the NFL, where teams are huddling and you
• 2:52
  know the clock isn't stopping as much, and so you can get a team
• 2:57
  in a situation where they aren't having success running. You got a little bit
• 3:00
  of a lead man. You just turned the dogs loose. Yeah they did.
• 3:06
  Boy, that was ugly. I gotta I gotta say you're fortunate.
• 3:08
  I mean you you coached with your dad Jim Morrison, the guy, three
• 3:13
  time Coach of the Year, one of the great NFL guys that we've seen,
• 3:17
  and I know you speak with him on a weekly, maybe a daily
• 3:21
  basis. I'm curious what he's been saying or what do he's had to say
• 3:24
  about the last couple of weeks. You know, Huskies have been close here
• 3:28
  two in the last three weeks, could have won these games. And I'm
• 3:30
  just interested what his take might be because he's the kind of guy that has
• 3:34
  seen pretty much everything. When he gives you a call, what's he what's
• 3:38
  he given you? It's it kind of varies, you know, earlier the
• 3:45
  season. You know, after the NC State game, you know, you
• 3:46
  guys are fighting hard. They're a good team. You know, uh,
• 3:51
  Georgia State guy, Damn you lost your quarterback, you lost your tight end.
• 3:53
  You know how it's take on you gotta keep fighting, Fiu. He
• 3:58
  wasn't really happy with the You know some things there, Duke. You know,
• 4:02
  you played a damn good team, fought your ass off. That quarterback's
• 4:05
  really good. You guys stopped the run. Blah blah blah. This week,
• 4:09
  I got a text right after the game and he said, you didn't
• 4:14
  lose that game because of the blocked extra point. If you want to talk
• 4:17
  about what I saw, give me a call. And I said, man,
• 4:23
  so I wish. I actually waited till Sunday morning because I wasn't really
• 4:27
  in the mood to talk to anybody. And I called him and he goes,
• 4:31
  you know why he lost that game? And I said, I do,
• 4:33
  Dad, because it wasn't because of the blocked extra point. And I
• 4:35
  said, I know, Dad. He said, well, then what was
• 4:38
  it? I said, it was those four passing? What the hell is
• 4:40
  going on back there? You know, Jimmy, you got to get that,
• 4:43
  you know, get that fixed. I'm like, Dad, I know,
• 4:45
  you know, we've identified the problem and we're working to fix it.
• 4:47
  And you know, he didn't really sugarcoat it for me. You know,
• 4:51
  hey, when I'll tell you what now, when I had to work for
• 4:55
  him and I was the defensive back coach, oh my goodness, and we
• 4:58
  wouldn't have a good game. It was not fun to be his son.
• 5:01
  You know. He just gives me kind of more big picture advice now,
• 5:06
  other than this week, he didn't he didn't like a couple of those deep
• 5:11
  balls, obviously, And I told him. I didn't. I didn't either,
• 5:13
  not reassured him. So I know this. He's fired up about Take
• 5:16
  one, you know. And it's interesting because after Take one's second game,
• 5:23
  he said that kid's gonna be fine. He said he's gonna be fine.
• 5:26
  You you wait, he's learning, he's going to be a good player.
• 5:29
  And he's right, you know. He said he just needs to play.
• 5:30
  He hadn't. He's the one he told me, because he hadn't played a
• 5:32
  full game in over four years. Said I didn't really think of that.
• 5:36
  I'd do it, but it wasn't at the top of my mind. Yeah,
• 5:42
  all right, about a minute left with Jim Mora here coach quick thought
• 5:45
  on on this Rice team. Their quarterback JT Daniels throwing for eleven touchdowns thirteen
• 5:50
  touchdowns I think in five games now four interceptions. What kind of quarterback is
• 5:56
  this? What are we looking at? Here? A damn good one.
• 5:59
  I recruit him, actually met him in eighth when he was an eighth grader.
• 6:02
  He came up to a UCLA camp when I was the coach and almost
• 6:06
  offered him as an eighth grader. Didn't saw him playing in high school A
• 6:12
  lot one of the best arm talent quarterbacks I've ever seen at the high school
• 6:16
  level. You know, he's had a good career. He's bounced around a
• 6:20
  little bit, but he's still had a good career. He can make every
• 6:23
  throw that that you need a quarterback to make. He can throw off platform,
• 6:28
  he can change his arm slots and be accurate. He's smart, he
• 6:31
  doesn't make poor decisions. He doesn't throw the bond to coverage. He's able
• 6:34
  to avoid the stack. I mean as much as they passed, as only
• 6:38
  the sack ten times in five games, which is pretty impressive. He's not
• 6:42
  a runner, but he can get you some yards and he can slide around
• 6:45
  in the pocket and stay alive. So I've I've known this kid since eighth
• 6:49
  grade. I have great respect for him as a player. I think he's
• 6:54
  tough as nails, you know. I think that he's been been very resilient,
• 6:59
  and I think it'll be a great challenge going against this guy. Yeah,
• 7:03
  he's had two four hundred yard games against USF on the road and against
• 7:08
  Houston two. Coach, we appreciate it and the best of luck this weekend.
• 7:13
  We'll get him. We'll be there with you. Thanks again, Mike.
• 7:15
  I'll see you. Take care buddy. All right. That's Jim Morin
• 7:19
  and that's the Yukon football coaches, so stay tuned. We meet with cam
• 7:25
  Ross when we return and Dalmont Gore dine from Liarfield
