  We're back with Jim Moore on the Yukon Football Coach and show. It's you
• 0:02
  Mass to wrap up the season. I want to talk to you coach about
• 0:06
  the other guy. The other coach, Don Brown, is the defensive coordinator
• 0:10
  type head coach. Second stint over there. He really made a difference.
• 0:13
  A couple of years ago. You Mass was like one thirty in the country.
• 0:16
  Defensively got him down to fifty five. They got three wins. They
• 0:20
  just beat Army. This team is going to be a problem, and I
• 0:24
  know Yu Khon is looking forward to the challenge. He's done a really nice
• 0:29
  job there, and you see the improvement when you shurn on the film regardless
• 0:33
  of the record. You know you don't have to look at the score to
• 0:36
  see improvement. And he's got a big, physical offensive line. They've got
• 0:40
  two really good running backs. They've got a quarterback fancered In from Clemson,
• 0:44
  a local kid who's done a really nice job for him. Got hurt a
• 0:47
  little bit earlier in the season, but he's rolling again. They've got a
• 0:51
  very good receiving corps. A quarterback from last year's playing tight end and he's
• 0:55
  a threat down the field. And then defensively. You know, that's what
• 0:59
  he's outstanding. And you know, they do a lot of things and they
• 1:03
  do them well. And I've always had great respect for him, you know,
• 1:07
  before we became you know, coaches playing against each other. I used
• 1:11
  to watch him. I used to watch him when he's in Michigan and try
• 1:14
  to feel some things that he did well and and use them and you know
• 1:21
  whatever. I wherever I was at the time. And then when he went
• 1:23
  to Arizona, I actually was on the sidelines once. Jed Fish is a
• 1:27
  friend of mine, and I went and watching him play University of Colorado and
• 1:32
  and coach Brown was the d C. So I kind of stood around him
• 1:34
  a little bit on the sideline, trying not to get his way. He
• 1:37
  just was really impressed with the way he did things. It was he's really
• 1:42
  something special. Yeah, he you know, I think throughout his career people
• 1:47
  might say, well, he's blitz happy. Does he still do a lot
• 1:49
  of blitzing? Do you expect to see a lot of that Saturday? I
• 1:53
  think you always have to prepare for it with a guy like that. He's
• 1:56
  aggressive in nature, but you know, I think that he does what he
• 2:00
  needs to do to win the game, you know. And if that's pressure,
• 2:04
  then he brings pressure. If it's playing zone, he plays zone.
• 2:07
  You know, he's not he's not a stubborn man when it comes to that.
• 2:09
  You know, he's uh. He's going to take every situation and analyze
• 2:14
  it and do what he thinks gives us his team the best chance to win.
• 2:16
  And I haven't have great deal respect for him because of that. Yes,
• 2:21
  Don Brown, the head coach at U MASS. They got a wide
• 2:23
  receiver who's not a big man, Anthony Simpson, but he's got some big
• 2:27
  numbers. Jim fifty one catches three touchdowns. This guy's a bluefield Connecticut kid
• 2:32
  that went to Arizona and then transferred to you Mass. When when you look
• 2:38
  at it, I always look at five ten receivers and I wonder how do
• 2:40
  they do it? He finds ways to get in the cracks of defense and
• 2:44
  make stuff happen. He's got a thick lower body. He's not he's not
• 2:49
  small. He's actually a physical receiver, but he can really run. He
• 2:54
  was at Arizona with coach Brown. They have familiarity. When he decided he
• 2:59
  wants the transfer and come back this way, you know, we were hoping
• 3:01
  that he choose us. He chose UMass and he's made the most of it.
• 3:07
  Like he said, he has fifty one catches and then he has about
• 3:09
  thirteen or fourteen carries as well on jet sweeps and things like that, or
• 3:13
  bubble screens where they throw the ball backwards. And he's a dynamic player,
• 3:16
  and he's someone that we certainly have to keep in check because he's got the
• 3:22
  speed and the explosiveness to get away from and make a big play. Now
• 3:28
  you mentioned Tyson Putma John Where's number three? Obviously his brother was with the
• 3:32
  Huskies for a bit. Here's a guy. We saw him two years ago
• 3:37
  at Clemson, played quite a bit with them, and then went to Georgia
• 3:39
  Tech. I mean, this is football these days. Guys are just going
• 3:43
  place to place to place. We only got about a minute or so,
• 3:46
  but I mean, it's just amazing how people move from school to school.
• 3:50
  Yeah, I think it's it's really interesting. I'm sure it's probably a little
• 3:53
  bit frustrating for fans that you don't want to watch a young man play his
• 3:58
  entire career somewhere, and then the certainty it causes for players, for coaches,
• 4:02
  for families for fans, But it is the world that we're in and
• 4:08
  it's important that we adapt to it. We adjust, and we may not
• 4:13
  love it, but it is what it is and we've got to make the
• 4:15
  best of it. And I think certainly he's making the best of his opportunity.
• 4:18
  I'm really impressed with the way he's playing the game this year. Yeah,
• 4:23
  I had an early injury in September and was able to bounce back.
• 4:26
  Tyson Pumachan, He'll be a challenge for the Huskies on Saturday. Jim,
• 4:30
  always a pleasure. Good luck this weekend. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your
• 4:34
  family. You two Mike, have a great, great week, all right,
• 4:39
  appreciate it. That's Jim Moore back with Jackson Mitchell and Kylie shicksll join
