Speaker 2: in this being his last year in Stillwater. One hundred
4:11
Speaker 2: percent said Gundy. Was asked if he intended to remain
4:14
Speaker 2: here this season and beyond, He addressed what he called
4:19
Speaker 2: fair questions over his future. Three days after Oklahoma State
4:24
Speaker 2: fell to one and two and lost to Tulsa. They
4:27
Speaker 2: haven't won a Division One game dating back to last year.
4:34
Speaker 2: They've lost twelve straight, but Gundhy did praise the crowd
4:39
Speaker 2: of forty eighty eight hundred, which is I think about
4:42
Speaker 2: ten thousand less than capacity. They play Baylor coming up
4:51
Speaker 2: this week, said Gundy. I'm under contract here for I
4:57
Speaker 2: think three and a half years when I was hired
4:59
Speaker 2: here to take this job. Ever since that day, I
5:01
Speaker 2: put my heart and soul into it. I will continue
5:04
Speaker 2: to do that until at some point if I say
5:06
Speaker 2: I don't want to do it anymore, or somebody else
5:09
Speaker 2: says we don't want you to do it. Central Florida
5:13
Speaker 2: offensive line coach Sean Clark has died at the age
5:16
Speaker 2: of fifty last night at a local hospital. He was
5:20
Speaker 2: admitted September ninth due to a medical emergency. Clark joined
5:25
Speaker 2: UCF after spending five years as head coach of Appalachian State.
5:32
Speaker 2: The ACC has fined Syracuse twenty five GERR and put
5:37
Speaker 2: them on double secret probation for faking injuries in the
5:42
Speaker 2: win over Clemson Saturday, calling their actions unethical and contrary
5:49
Speaker 2: to the spirit of the rules. Clemson quarterback kde Klubnik
5:54
Speaker 2: accused Syracuse of faking injuries, saying we were playing with
5:58
Speaker 2: tempo props to them. They stopped us on some third
6:01
Speaker 2: downs and then they have an injury or something like
6:05
Speaker 2: that when we really got going. Bruce Pearl is resigning
6:11
Speaker 2: as head basketball coach at Auburn, will move into an
6:16
Speaker 2: ambassador's role and a special assistant to the AD. His son,
6:23
Speaker 2: Steven will take over the sixty five year olds, coming
6:27
Speaker 2: off a season in which he guided Auburn to its
6:31
Speaker 2: second ever final four appearance six NCAA tournaments, two final fours.
6:38
Speaker 2: During Pearl's run, there had been speculation he was going
6:44
Speaker 2: to run for senate. He says, at least right now,
6:48
Speaker 2: my words, right now, that's not so. The Big Dumper
6:54
Speaker 2: did it again last night, hit another home run against
6:59
Speaker 2: the design Stros.
7:02
Speaker 4: As Seattle won.
7:06
Speaker 2: For the fourteenth time in their last fifteen games. They
7:10
Speaker 2: are three games ahead of the Astros in the AL West.
7:15
Speaker 2: Teams are off today. It could be worse, Astro fans.
7:21
Speaker 2: You could be the Detroit Tigers, who had a fourteen
7:26
Speaker 2: game lead July eighth, an eleven and a half game
7:31
Speaker 2: lead August twenty third, a ten game lead September third.
7:40
Speaker 2: Now their lead over Cleveland is one game, one game.
7:52
Speaker 2: Yankees are the number one wild card team, Red Sox
7:57
Speaker 2: are the number two wild card team. The Guardians by
8:03
Speaker 2: virtue of a tie tiebreaker over the Astros are the
8:08
Speaker 2: final AL wild card team. If the season ended today
8:14
Speaker 2: and it doesn't, Blue Jays and Mariners would get buys.
8:19
Speaker 2: Tigers would play the Guardians. The Yankees would play the
8:23
Speaker 2: Red Sox. The Astros begin a series in Sacramento against
8:31
Speaker 2: the Sacramento As tomorrow night and finish with the Los
8:37
Speaker 2: Angeles Angels of Anaheim over the weekend.

9:05
Speaker 2: on a big, big, big announcement for Friday's show, but
9:13
Speaker 2: may have to wait a couple of days. So I
9:15
Speaker 2: can't say anything about that yet. It would be premature,
9:20
Speaker 2: shall we say?
9:22
Speaker 4: Okay?
9:24
Speaker 2: And I think the rest of this hour we're going
9:27

16:05
Speaker 2: Okay, let's do this. Coach Elcho visited with the media today.
16:10
Speaker 2: Is usual Monday presser. We carry that live here on
16:17
Speaker 2: the zone. At one point thirty. It was short today.
16:23
Speaker 2: I guess because there wasn't a game last week, maybe
16:28
Speaker 2: there weren't quite as many questions. I kind of ask
16:34
Speaker 2: a few more, but I kept waiting, and finally.
16:37
Speaker 4: Is that that's it? Okay? He was thrilled by the way.
16:42
Speaker 1: Here's coach Elko.
16:43
Speaker 5: I enjoyed the bye week. Didn't have to come in
16:45
Speaker 5: here and be part of this media session. But good
16:49
Speaker 5: to be back, Good to be back in SEC play.
16:51
Speaker 5: I thought we had a productive bye week. I thought
16:54
Speaker 5: we were able to get a lot of things accomplished
16:56
Speaker 5: last week, just kind of focusing on ourselves, areas where
16:59
Speaker 5: we can prove, areas where we could get better, kind
17:02
Speaker 5: of as we look big picture at things we got
17:04
Speaker 5: to do as we headed into SEC play to be
17:06
Speaker 5: successful and then transitioned fully into Auburn stuff. Yesterday. I
17:11
Speaker 5: went out today and practiced and had a really good
17:13
Speaker 5: practice and so excited for the week, Excited for SEC
17:16
Speaker 5: opponent number one, and just looking forward to this and
17:19
Speaker 5: ready to get started. So I'm sure you guys got
17:21
Speaker 5: a million questions because it's been like two weeks since
17:23
Speaker 5: you got to ask. So fire away got.
17:25
Speaker 2: You're gonna got the right olin.
17:29
Speaker 12: Yeah, I Mike, you know last year, uh you said,
17:35
Speaker 12: you said that last year after you all got into
17:37
Speaker 12: the top ten, that y'all didn't kind of handle the
17:39
Speaker 12: situation very well. You've been very outspoken about that. So
17:43
Speaker 12: I'm just asking if you have a feel for whether
17:47
Speaker 12: you think that you know you're going to be able
17:49
Speaker 12: to be more lack of a better way to put it,
17:52
Speaker 12: more comfortable in that in that role.
17:55
Speaker 5: Well, I certainly hope so, because that would be better
17:58
Speaker 5: than what happened last year. No, it's I think it's
18:01
Speaker 5: a hard thing. It's a hard thing to feel, you know.
18:05
Speaker 5: I think you want to you want to feel work
18:08
Speaker 5: ethic and continued growth mindset. I think we felt that.
18:12
Speaker 5: I think you want to feel that the kids are
18:15
Speaker 5: hungry for success. I think we felt that at the
18:18
Speaker 5: end of the day, they're going to have to run
18:19
Speaker 5: out of the tunnel Saturday and make plays and make
18:23
Speaker 5: plays in an SEC game against a really quality opponent.
18:26
Speaker 5: And so how we handle that probably remains to be determined,
18:30
Speaker 5: and so I can probably get up here and say anything.
18:34
Speaker 5: I think the reality is is we're gonna have to
18:35
Speaker 5: go out there and do it, and we're gonna have
18:37
Speaker 5: to go do it against one of the teams that
18:39
Speaker 5: that beat us last year, and so obviously they're very
18:41
Speaker 5: capable of getting the job done against US.
18:44
Speaker 13: Coach front left Mark Mike Uh, I'm gonna take one
18:49
Speaker 13: out Allan's book and go with the two parter.
18:51
Speaker 10: But question one, any update on Scooby and Bryce?
18:56
Speaker 11: Yeah?
18:56
Speaker 5: Bryce will be out this week. I think he's still recovering.
18:59
Speaker 5: We'll kind of see how that goes from a timeframe standpoint.
19:03
Speaker 5: Scooby's day to day and getting better every day.
19:07
Speaker 14: During the summer.
19:08
Speaker 2: You're talking a lot about avoiding mental mistakes and things
19:12
Speaker 2: of that sort, especially against the run.
19:15
Speaker 10: Still seeing those pop up.
19:16
Speaker 15: How did you work on that in the bye week
19:18
Speaker 15: or did you work on that in the bye week?
19:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think just continuing to the best of our
19:25
Speaker 5: ability to point things out in hopes that you know,
19:30
Speaker 5: at some point you click with a little bit higher
19:32
Speaker 5: level of consistency of performance. You know, obviously, if I
19:37
Speaker 5: had a better answer, we would have solved it already
19:40
Speaker 5: and that's not an excuse, it's just a reality. But yeah,
19:44
Speaker 5: still the extremely diligent at it, still working hard at it,
19:47
Speaker 5: still trying to find creative ways to get it, what
19:50
Speaker 5: with how we teach, how we call things, what we call,
19:53
Speaker 5: what we do, what they're comfortable doing, and just still
19:58
Speaker 5: trying to find that that recipe. Get that right, We'll
20:01
Speaker 5: stay on the left, Alex.
20:03
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm just curious if you can see the strides
20:06
Speaker 16: that Terry Bussey has made now that he's had the
20:08
Speaker 16: full offseason, the offense and just through these first few weeks.
20:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he continues to get better every day.
20:14
Speaker 5: I think, you know, again, we talked an awful lot
20:16
Speaker 5: about his journey from being a really talented athlete at
20:20
Speaker 5: a small school in Texas where he did everything to
20:23
Speaker 5: being a really fundamentally sound wide receiver in the SEC.
20:27
Speaker 5: And I think that's been the journey that he's been on. Again,
20:31
Speaker 5: it's been hampered at times by injury. I think that's
20:33
Speaker 5: played a role in some of it. But he's been
20:36
Speaker 5: healthy now, knock on wood for quite a few weeks
20:39
Speaker 5: in a row, and I think that's allowed him to
20:41
Speaker 5: really get out there and start to refine his craft,
20:43
Speaker 5: and I think it's good to see that showing up
20:45
Speaker 5: and becoming a reliable playmaker for us on Saturdays.
20:49
Speaker 16: And then with a m looking for another university president. Now,
20:53
Speaker 16: I was just curious if you could share. It's just
20:54
Speaker 16: what in your experience, just what's the dynamic in the
20:58
Speaker 16: relationship between football coach and university president in this kind
21:01
Speaker 16: of current era.
21:03
Speaker 5: I just think you're always looking for alignment. I think
21:05
Speaker 5: you're looking for a guy who understands what football is
21:09
Speaker 5: at this university and will do the things necessary to
21:12
Speaker 5: support that. You know, I got a lot of confidence
21:15
Speaker 5: in the people making that decision that they'll call out
21:17
Speaker 5: and I'll find the right person to do that. Coach
21:19
Speaker 5: to the right Travis Hey.
21:22
Speaker 15: Coach, I know. I'll talk about Marcel shaking the moniker
21:27
Speaker 15: becoming a passer with Nate Borgacier kind of a similar
21:31
Speaker 15: thing with the hands that he has not just being
21:33
Speaker 15: a blocking tight end. Do you think he kind of
21:35
Speaker 15: was able to prove that on Saturday.
21:37
Speaker 4: Yeah.
21:37
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know, if you know, I don't
21:39
Speaker 5: have one catch for eleven yards proves that, but I
21:41
Speaker 5: certainly think he has proven that. I think he had
21:44
Speaker 5: a couple of big catches in the UTSA game. He's
21:47
Speaker 5: a kid. We have a lot of confidence too throwing
21:49
Speaker 5: the football. I think he can make a tested catches.
21:51
Speaker 5: He can make strong catches in traffic. And so I'm
21:54
Speaker 5: sure as the year goes on, people will start playing
21:58
Speaker 5: us differently, and as we have to adjust to that,
22:02
Speaker 5: I'm sure that'll create opportunities for tight ends, for running backs,
22:05
Speaker 5: for other receivers. I just imagine all of that stuff
22:08
Speaker 5: is coming down the pipeline here, and so he'll be
22:11
Speaker 5: ready and I think he'll be a very productive player
22:13
Speaker 5: for us.
22:13
Speaker 15: And with what Auburn's been able to put on or
22:15
Speaker 15: what Auburn has put on films so far this season,
22:17
Speaker 15: is this a game that the pass rush could be
22:21
Speaker 15: kind of pinning the years back for oh?
22:23
Speaker 5: I don't think so at all. I think I think
22:25
Speaker 5: they're extremely talented up front. I think it was a
22:27
Speaker 5: little bit of an anomaly on Saturday. We got a
22:31
Speaker 5: ton of respect for them. And I think human psychology,
22:34
Speaker 5: I said this to the guys this morning, human psychology says, absolutely,
22:38
Speaker 5: without a doubt, the best unit on the field Saturday
22:40
Speaker 5: will be the auburne offensive line. I can promise you
22:42
Speaker 5: that coach to the.
22:43
Speaker 4: Left, Frob, how do you coach?
22:47
Speaker 17: So during the off season, your big emphasis was to finish.
22:52
Speaker 17: How proud of you of the guys were you that
22:55
Speaker 17: that they had to drive the link of the field
22:57
Speaker 17: and literally finish on the last offensive play.
23:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think obviously that was a huge step for
23:03
Speaker 5: our program. I think that's that's the biggest thing is
23:07
Speaker 5: is you know, when you get in those moments, you've
23:10
Speaker 5: got to ultimately find a way to get the job
23:12
Speaker 5: done in order to move the program forward. And you know,
23:16
Speaker 5: we had an opportunity to do that at Auburn last year.
23:18
Speaker 5: We had an opportunity to do that in the bowl
23:20
Speaker 5: game last year, and we weren't able to finish it
23:22
Speaker 5: the right way. It was good to get into a
23:25
Speaker 5: game and finish it, you know, now, you know three
23:29
Speaker 5: weeks does not make a finish and so you know,
23:31
Speaker 5: we still got a lot of football left and a
23:33
Speaker 5: lot of things that we've got to do in order
23:35
Speaker 5: to accomplish what we want to accomplish. And you know,
23:38
Speaker 5: we have zero sec wins right now, and so we
23:41
Speaker 5: had a lot of things we got to do still.
23:43
Speaker 18: Coach back right, Mike I was wondering if you had
23:47
Speaker 18: a reaction to the three teams that that you'll be
23:50
Speaker 18: on your schedule the next four years Texas, LSU, and Missouri.
23:54
Speaker 11: Not really.
23:54
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's good obviously that we're playing the
23:57
Speaker 5: end state rivalry. You know, always good to play LSU.
24:02
Speaker 5: I guess Missouri. I'm not sure how that fit in,
24:04
Speaker 5: but you know, it is what it is. And so
24:06
Speaker 5: however they did that, it'll be fine.
24:08
Speaker 18: What have you seen from Jackson Arnold as you study him?
24:11
Speaker 5: A really talented kid. I think he can make a
24:13
Speaker 5: lot of throws, He's got really good arm talent, He's
24:16
Speaker 5: got the ability to beat you with his legs and
24:18
Speaker 5: can run around and do some things. And I think
24:22
Speaker 5: obviously that was that was probably a really challenging environment
24:25
Speaker 5: for him Saturday, just going back there and all of
24:28
Speaker 5: the emotions that come with that, and so I'm sure
24:31
Speaker 5: he's going to be very hungry to come out and
24:33
Speaker 5: play really, really well Saturday. There'll be a team that's
24:35
Speaker 5: got their backs against the wall, and I'm sure they'll
24:37
Speaker 5: they'll put their best foot out there.
24:39
Speaker 19: Coach to the left, Tony Coach. We talked about the
24:41
Speaker 19: psychology of football, a lot. Obviously a big win against
24:44
Speaker 19: Notre Dame, then straight into a bye week. I'm curious
24:46
Speaker 19: how you feel about how you would like those situations.
24:49
Speaker 19: Do you wish you could just get back out there
24:50
Speaker 19: or are you okay with kind of just recentering talk
24:52
Speaker 19: to your guys and kind of moving forward like that.
24:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know, Like it's not so much about
24:58
Speaker 5: what the schedule is. I think it's how your guys
25:00
Speaker 5: handle it. And so you know, the challenge to our
25:03
Speaker 5: guys is to handle the psychology of success and and
25:07
Speaker 5: you know, to continue to stay ground it, to continue
25:09
Speaker 5: to keep working, continue to to move forward, and continue
25:12
Speaker 5: to focus on the things we've got to focus on
25:14
Speaker 5: to become the best team we're capable of becoming. And
25:16
Speaker 5: I don't know that that's any easier or harder, honestly,
25:19
Speaker 5: based on whether you have a bye week or don't
25:21
Speaker 5: have a bye week. It just kind of is what
25:23
Speaker 5: it is. The challenges on them and us as a
25:26
Speaker 5: staff to continue to drive this thing. And I think
25:29
Speaker 5: that's the challenge, you know, And so we had two
25:32
Speaker 5: weeks to accomplish that as opposed to one, and you know,
25:35
Speaker 5: hopefully that that we're able to get that done and
25:37
Speaker 5: hit that recipe the right way, second.
25:40
Speaker 20: Road to the right Carter, Hey, Mike, any updates on
25:43
Speaker 20: Reuben Fothery where he kind of is that in his recovery.
25:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's getting really close. He was able to
25:49
Speaker 5: go out there and practice today and so hopeful that
25:53
Speaker 5: we'll have him in some capacity on Saturday. But he's
25:56
Speaker 5: kind of right at that spot. You know, if I
25:59
Speaker 5: had to guess, he'll be listed as questionable or probable
26:02
Speaker 5: on Wednesday.
26:04
Speaker 20: And how would you kind of assess how des Rix
26:07
Speaker 20: and Will Lee have done this season? And how would
26:09
Speaker 20: you say they match up against Eric Singleton and Kim Coleman.
26:12
Speaker 5: Oh God, I think it's been really good to see Dez.
26:16
Speaker 5: I think he's taken some really positive steps forward. Obviously,
26:18
Speaker 5: Will is a very consistent player for us, and the
26:20
Speaker 5: kid that we have a ton of confidence in. You've
26:24
Speaker 5: heard my story on matchups. I'd way rather be playing
26:27
Speaker 5: guys who weren't big, athletic, fast and ten two in
26:31
Speaker 5: one hundred meters and so this is a really really
26:34
Speaker 5: talented wide receiver corps and so you know, we'll see
26:36
Speaker 5: how we do on Saturday. But there's a lot of
26:39
Speaker 5: other teams I would rather try to match up with
26:40
Speaker 5: on Saturday a wide receiver than this group.
26:43
Speaker 15: Coach, you'll stay in the second row.
26:44
Speaker 12: Well one, Well, speaking of talented wide receiver, Corps Auburn,
26:49
Speaker 12: I'll talk about you now. Obviously you expected some great
26:55
Speaker 12: things from those guys that you wouldn't have brought them
26:56
Speaker 12: in anyway. But have Case and Mario exceeded expectations by
27:03
Speaker 12: any means to do? Is what they've done so quickly?
27:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I mean, it's it's
27:11
Speaker 5: obviously really good that they've gone out there and made
27:13
Speaker 5: the plays that they made. It was really good in
27:15
Speaker 5: the game like that against the secondary like that last week,
27:18
Speaker 5: that they were able to make the plays that they did.
27:21
Speaker 5: You know, obviously we had tremendously high expectations for those guys.
27:26
Speaker 5: You know, I know that everybody likes to kind of
27:29
Speaker 5: create their own mindset on who the good players are
27:31
Speaker 5: in the portal and who the guys are that you
27:33
Speaker 5: have to get and who you lose and all of
27:36
Speaker 5: those things. You know, everybody writes their own stories on them.
27:38
Speaker 5: But we felt very confident with what we did and
27:41
Speaker 5: what we accomplished and who we brought in and so,
27:45
Speaker 5: but you know, obviously it still has to play out,
27:47
Speaker 5: right and until it plays out, you don't know. And
27:49
Speaker 5: so it's just been great to see those guys be
27:51
Speaker 5: what we hoped and thought they could be for US.
27:54
Speaker 16: Coach front row to the left, Robert.
27:56
Speaker 21: Mike, does do you figure defense has an identity? A
27:59
Speaker 21: lot of people said been to don't break last year?
28:01
Speaker 21: We probably looked at your defensive line? Is it too earlier?
28:05
Speaker 21: What about does your do you feel your defense has not?
28:08
Speaker 11: I did it.
28:09
Speaker 5: I think we're still kind of working through it. Obviously,
28:12
Speaker 5: we haven't had the level of success or didn't have
28:14
Speaker 5: the level of success that we wanted to have in
28:16
Speaker 5: the Notre Dame game, and it would be hard to
28:19
Speaker 5: sit here and tell you, you know what our actual
28:22
Speaker 5: what what what we're holding our hat on right now.
28:24
Speaker 5: We've played one Power five game and it didn't go great.
28:28
Speaker 5: But you know, obviously that's something we've got to fix
28:30
Speaker 5: moving forward now.
28:31
Speaker 2: I thought that was an interesting answer by coach elcol
28:35
Speaker 2: in the defense and there are still things to fix,
28:41
Speaker 2: and Notre Dame read fairly well. They certainly didn't run
28:46
Speaker 2: over A and M's defense. A and M made some
28:49
Speaker 2: key plays defensively, but there are still issues. And Auburn
28:56
Speaker 2: can run the football. They didn't run it at all
29:00
Speaker 2: against Oklahoma.
29:02
Speaker 4: I think Oklahoma's defense is pretty good.
29:07
Speaker 2: I think what Oklahoma did is Jackson Arnold is not
29:11
Speaker 2: going to beat us with his legs.
29:14
Speaker 1: He will not beat us.
29:15
Speaker 4: They kept him in the pocket.
29:16
Speaker 2: They did an outstanding job of controlling him. And if
29:21
Speaker 2: you don't do that, he will run through you. You would
29:25
Speaker 2: rather him pass because I still don't think he's very good,
29:30
Speaker 2: and you would rather make him throw the football than
29:33
Speaker 2: give him lanes to rush through. And look, Alco is
29:37
Speaker 2: a defensive coach. He's watching the game. He saw the game.
29:44
Speaker 2: He understands what they did. Can A and M do
29:49
Speaker 2: that as well, and we'll be talking about that. I'm
29:54
Speaker 2: gonna shift briefly to baseball. I don't want to, but
29:58
Speaker 2: I'm going to anyway, because honestly, this weekend made my
30:04
Speaker 2: heart happy. And you know, if you follow me on
30:08
Speaker 2: social media, you know that I stand by everything I
30:12
Speaker 2: put on social media most of the time, unless you
30:16
Speaker 2: don't like it, and then I say, oh, that wasn't me.
30:18
Speaker 2: Somebody hacked my account, which by the way, has happened before.

34:16
Speaker 4: It's called the Love Game, right, and it's the Loves
34:19
Speaker 4: Unlimited Orchestra. I think?
34:21
Speaker 5: Is that? Is that right?
34:23
Speaker 15: Man?
34:23
Speaker 4: I'm good with this anyway.
34:25
Speaker 2: Uh, you know there there are words to that, but
34:33
Speaker 2: but I'm just saying, uh, that's pretty cool. Okay, if
34:40
Speaker 2: you weren't with us earlier, why are we doing very white?
34:43
Speaker 2: Just ask Chad Jones. Just when you see Chad or
34:46
Speaker 2: call him. Don't bother him at work because he'll probably
34:48
Speaker 2: sing you a bill. But but when you see him out,
34:51
Speaker 2: ask him what's the very white reference?
34:54
Speaker 4: Okay, enough of that one.
35:00
Speaker 2: Ste Astros crushed the Rangers last week and eliminated them
35:07
Speaker 2: basically from playoffs. Well, then all I had left was
35:12
Speaker 2: watching the Astros crumble. I mean that's basically as a fan,
35:15
Speaker 2: that's all you've got. And man, what a terrific weekend
35:19
Speaker 2: for me. I watched and paid attention to these games,
35:23
Speaker 2: and I watched every inning last night, and I specifically
35:29
Speaker 2: waited to tweet and to put on Facebook until the
35:34
Speaker 2: very last out was made. I did not want to
35:37
Speaker 2: jinx Seattle. Okay, I know seven to three, but the
35:43
Speaker 2: Astros meeklely tried to come back Saturday, and so I
35:51
Speaker 2: didn't want to jinx anything. And it was just it
35:55
Speaker 2: was wonderful. I mean, it's not the playoffs, it's but
36:00
Speaker 2: it was so much fun watching them go down to
36:02
Speaker 2: flames at home. And I suspect that's the end of
36:07
Speaker 2: the road for them as well. But be that as may.
36:15
Speaker 2: While I'm paying very close attention to Seattle and Houston,
36:20
Speaker 2: I was paying no attention to Miami, the Marlins and
36:27
Speaker 2: the Rangers. And I'm getting texts like who's replacing Bochie?
36:36
Speaker 2: And I'm saying, look, two weeks ago, my friend Kevin
36:40
Speaker 2: Sherrington wrote a great column on Bouchie, who said, I'm
36:44
Speaker 2: having fun. I'm not planning on leaving now. That doesn't
36:48
Speaker 2: mean they wouldn't make a change. I'm just saying, but
36:51
Speaker 2: that was before they have just cratered. I mean that's
36:56
Speaker 2: before they just went in the tank. And I'm thinking
37:00
Speaker 2: he's seventy one, why does he need this? But as
37:04
Speaker 2: he told Kevin Sherrington, I'm a competitive sob. He likes
37:09
Speaker 2: it right, and he's really good at it, and I
37:12
Speaker 2: will stick with this that I can't think of another
37:18
Speaker 2: manager in baseball that would have had this team close
37:21
Speaker 2: to five hundred. With the stats and the way they've
37:24
Speaker 2: hit the ball and the injuries they've had this year.
37:27
Speaker 2: I think this guy is the best at what he does.
37:30
Speaker 2: And they may go get somebody else, because that's what
37:32
Speaker 2: you do in baseball.
37:33
Speaker 4: You need new blood, you.
37:35
Speaker 2: Need somebody who has a new message. Players have tuned
37:39
Speaker 2: him out. I don't know if that's the case or not. Honestly,
37:43
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if I'm running the team, boaches back.
37:46
Speaker 2: If he wants to be back, without question. Now, they've
37:49
Speaker 2: got to be some changes, and if I'm running the team,
37:52
Speaker 2: I'll make some changes. Meryl Kelly was terrible yesterday day.
38:01
Speaker 2: Let's listen to Bochie. Can we hear from Bouchie? Uh?
38:05
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Bruce Bochie Yesterday?
38:08
Speaker 27: This was just a really tough week of baseball. Just
38:11
Speaker 27: how much of the past seven games have just been
38:14
Speaker 27: a team that's lost momentum here?
38:17
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, no doubt we have awesome momentum. I mean
38:21
Speaker 11: we're in a funk. I'm just not scoring runs. And
38:27
Speaker 11: that's what happened again today. I mean, they pitched great
38:31
Speaker 11: in this series. They swung the bats. I'm talking about
38:36
Speaker 11: Marlin's there. They played great baseball, and we just got
38:39
Speaker 11: beat all three games offensively pitching, and we just couldn't,
38:48
Speaker 11: you know, mount something your last couple of games. First
38:50
Speaker 11: inning didn't cash in and when they came back to
38:54
Speaker 11: haunt us, get a couple of guys on and just
38:57
Speaker 11: couldn't keep it going there and that's a big inning.
39:01
Speaker 11: Uh we you know, we had a little better job
39:03
Speaker 11: of catching him when we get those guys on, and.
39:08
Speaker 27: Could you Freeman drove in a run, made it a
39:09
Speaker 27: one run game. What do moments like that at this
39:13
Speaker 27: point in the season and tell you about a player?
39:17
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, he plays hard, that's what you got to do.
39:21
Speaker 11: And uh he's he grinds and you know, the bats
39:24
Speaker 11: and find his way to put him play And now
39:27
Speaker 11: it's a nice game by him. Uh, big hit open
39:30
Speaker 11: that hit al right, now we'll get things going. But
39:32
Speaker 11: uh uh, that's where it stopped.
39:36
Speaker 5: Speaking of losing moments and going into Houston law speak.
39:39
Speaker 2: You feel like you guys are.
39:40
Speaker 27: Playing really good baseball, and could you pinpoint something just
39:43
Speaker 27: in terms of why.
39:45
Speaker 11: Na i'd i'd like to Kennedy and i'd l you know,
39:48
Speaker 11: you like to pinpoint, but uh, you know, just could
39:51
Speaker 11: miss those time to hits. More than anything, there's times
39:54
Speaker 11: we get guys on base and not not getting that
39:56
Speaker 11: one more hit. Uh. You know, pitching hasn't been a
39:59
Speaker 11: sharp you know that's gotten away from us a little
40:02
Speaker 11: bit Meryll looked real. I thought there, well, real, well
40:06
Speaker 11: first three innings and then you know they started putting
40:10
Speaker 11: the ball and play getting a barrow on it. And
40:13
Speaker 11: but that's more than anything. Probably haven't played the defense
40:16
Speaker 11: that we played all year either. If you look back
40:19
Speaker 11: at some of these games.
40:21
Speaker 28: Going off to Kennedy's question, given how well you were
40:24
Speaker 28: playing just a week ago, did does that make this
40:27
Speaker 28: kid more surprising? I guess to see how quickly it's
40:30
Speaker 28: flipped in a dress.
40:31
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's baseball. I know, it's baseball. There's other teams
40:34
Speaker 11: that you see really good teams that are struggling. Now,
40:38
Speaker 11: it's hard explaining what happens. Uh, but it's happened to us.
40:42
Speaker 11: And you know, you getting these funks and just seems
40:46
Speaker 11: they can't do anything right. Uh, and it's kind of
40:50
Speaker 11: been the case here. Uh so it's just it's something
40:55
Speaker 11: got to keep fighting. Uh, you know, we getting a
41:00
Speaker 11: couple of series left, and uh that's our job. Go
41:02
Speaker 11: out there and do all we can to win a
41:05
Speaker 11: ball game and keep marching here.
41:07
Speaker 28: I'm just o Kelly, he was it seventy three pitches?
41:10
Speaker 28: I think was that just seeing the matchup and kind
41:13
Speaker 28: of how he looked at it in when you went
41:14
Speaker 28: to Lats.
41:15
Speaker 11: Yeah, we anyway four you know they they gotta tell
41:19
Speaker 11: him a little bit and in that one and I
41:22
Speaker 11: had a bullpen that was ready to go. So I'm
41:25
Speaker 11: just trying to keep the score where it was.
41:28
Speaker 28: You know where you are in the stats?
41:29
Speaker 25: You know what do you wanna see the over this
41:31
Speaker 25: final six games?
41:32
Speaker 29: You can't just mentioned, but is there anything.
41:34
Speaker 5: You're looking for?
41:35
Speaker 11: It's play hard, That's all I'm looking for, you know.
41:37
Speaker 11: They's that's when you know your times like this, it
41:43
Speaker 11: reveals character and uh that's up to us to go
41:47
Speaker 11: out there and continue to play hard. We got some
41:49
Speaker 11: games left and and get some pitchers trying to win
41:53
Speaker 11: ball games. These guys are trying to win games, you know.
41:56
Speaker 11: Just play for each other and play as hard as
41:58
Speaker 11: you can uh out there and see what happens.
42:01
Speaker 4: That's Bruce Bouche.
42:02
Speaker 2: After another loss yesterday, we're going to take a break.
42:09
Speaker 4: It wouldn't be well.
42:10
Speaker 2: We didn't hear from Steve Sarkis, and I don't think

45:37
Speaker 2: Man if I had that voice, I'd have been retired
45:39
Speaker 2: for the last ten years. I'm just telling you that
45:41
Speaker 2: right now. That's a great berry white right there. Yes,
45:44
Speaker 2: all right, enough of that from one grade to enough another.
45:49
Speaker 2: Like I said, it's been a little while. Here is
45:52
Speaker 2: Steve Sarkisian from today's news conference.
45:56
Speaker 13: As far as the game goes, just looking back on it,
46:00
Speaker 13: meet with the players earlier today, I thought there was
46:02
Speaker 13: some some really good things. Obviously scoring on the opening
46:05
Speaker 13: drive of the game, and with that, you know, converting
46:08
Speaker 13: three third downs. You know that had been somewhat of
46:12
Speaker 13: an issue for us here for the first three games.
46:14
Speaker 13: So to to convert three third downs. I think the
46:17
Speaker 13: first one was a third and nine to DeAndre Moore
46:20
Speaker 13: and obviously capping it off with the run there by
46:23
Speaker 13: Jared Gibson for the touchdown was fantastic. And I think
46:26
Speaker 13: scoring on our first nine possessions of the game, you know,
46:31
Speaker 13: seven touchdowns of those nine, and so that that part
46:34
Speaker 13: was great. It was definitely an explosive game for US.
46:37
Speaker 13: I think we had twenty explosive plays and a variety
46:40
Speaker 13: of guys creating.
46:41
Speaker 10: Those explosive plays.
46:42
Speaker 13: I think Wingo obviously had the big touchdown catch and
46:45
Speaker 13: the long run. Ryan Nibblett, you know, showed up on
46:49
Speaker 13: a screen for an explosive play, and so a lot
46:51
Speaker 13: of different guys creating those plays, which was big and
46:55
Speaker 13: I think it was great to see. Even going back
46:58
Speaker 13: looking at the tate from Arch, you know, there was
47:01
Speaker 13: some some really high level throws. There was a deep
47:03
Speaker 13: out to Parker early in the game that was a
47:06
Speaker 13: heck of a throw. There was a deep crossing route
47:09
Speaker 13: to DeAndre Moore in between two defenders that that that
47:14
Speaker 13: took a lot of precision, but but through it with
47:16
Speaker 13: a lot of conviction, which was which was great for
47:19
Speaker 13: him and you know, his ability to score touchdowns. You know,
47:23
Speaker 13: something that I think sometimes goes unnoticed by this guy
47:27
Speaker 13: when he's in the game.
47:28
Speaker 10: And I think he's.
47:29
Speaker 13: Got nine touchdown passes on the year and five runs
47:32
Speaker 13: for touchdowns, and so his ability to get the ball
47:34
Speaker 13: in the end zone is a factor.
47:36
Speaker 10: You know.
47:36
Speaker 13: I thought defensively, a lot of guys played, and the
47:40
Speaker 13: idea that that we had five sacks, I believe by
47:44
Speaker 13: five different players in the game is a good sign.
47:47
Speaker 13: You know, ten TFLs I think split amongst ten different players,
47:52
Speaker 13: and so that's that's a great sign that a lot
47:53
Speaker 13: of guys are playing and doing it at a high level,
47:57
Speaker 13: you know, And and I think it points to us
48:00
Speaker 13: having the ability to play complimentary football. Our explosive play
48:03
Speaker 13: numbers starting to get up to where we need it
48:05
Speaker 13: to be. But yet defensively, our ability to minimize those
48:09
Speaker 13: explosive plays is a nice balance of how we're trying
48:12
Speaker 13: to play the game. You know, we're plus three in
48:16
Speaker 13: the turnover margin right now, which which ultimately a simple
48:19
Speaker 13: goal for us is to be plus whatever the number
48:22
Speaker 13: of is of games that you've played, and so we've
48:25
Speaker 13: played four games were at plus three. We'd like to
48:27
Speaker 13: get that number. You know, hopefully in two weeks to
48:30
Speaker 13: plus five, because that's you know, by the end of
48:32
Speaker 13: the year of regular season, if you're plus twelve, you've
48:34
Speaker 13: probably got a really good team. And that's our style
48:37
Speaker 13: of taking care of the ball and creating turnovers. It's
48:40
Speaker 13: twenty straight home games now we've created a turnover in
48:42
Speaker 13: Jelan and McDonald's three straight weeks.
48:45
Speaker 10: He's been a turnover machine.
48:46
Speaker 13: Had to pick this week, had to pick last week,
48:49
Speaker 13: and then tip the ball that Gilbo picked that intercepted
48:52
Speaker 13: two weeks ago. So he's playing at a really high
48:54
Speaker 13: level for US right now. I think from a special
48:57
Speaker 13: team's perspective. We talked about Mason Shipley, but he's five
49:00
Speaker 13: for five on the year on field goals. He's been
49:03
Speaker 13: kicking off the last two weeks, but he's really it's
49:06
Speaker 13: fourteen in a row if you go back to his
49:08
Speaker 13: time at Texas State. So he's he's in a good
49:10
Speaker 13: rhythm and groove kicking field goals. And Jack continues to
49:14
Speaker 13: punt at a high level for US, and it's unfortunate.
49:17
Speaker 13: I mean, he bombs the one punt that ends up
49:19
Speaker 13: in the end zone, potential block in the back made
49:22
Speaker 13: his great effort by Rehd Anderson as a gunner, but
49:25
Speaker 13: he's really striking the ball well. And I think now
49:28
Speaker 13: two weeks in a row of Ryan Niblett returning punts
49:31
Speaker 13: has been an explosive player for us there. And it's
49:35
Speaker 13: too bad on the first punt return, we just don't
49:37
Speaker 13: quite block it the way we would have liked. I
49:39
Speaker 13: think you would have had one there as well. So
49:41
Speaker 13: all in all, you know, through the kind of the preseason,
49:45
Speaker 13: we've played eighty seven players so far through four games.
49:49
Speaker 13: Eight different guys have scored touchdowns, and nine different guys
49:53
Speaker 13: have carried the ball. Sixteen different guys have caught passes.
49:58
Speaker 13: We have eleven sacks far through four games and that's
50:01
Speaker 13: split up amongst ten different guys. And so all at all,
50:06
Speaker 13: like we're we're playing a lot of players, and now
50:09
Speaker 13: we have a we have a pretty good sense and
50:11
Speaker 13: a feel of who we are. I think we're going
50:13
Speaker 13: to see a wave of players coming back getting healthy
50:16
Speaker 13: in two weeks for the Florida game. So we've created
50:18
Speaker 13: the depth that we've needed and now it's about whose
50:21
Speaker 13: role is is kind of what we've got. We've got
50:24
Speaker 13: a four game sample size to look at that because
50:27
Speaker 13: you know, we go to Florida next week, we only
50:29
Speaker 13: get to travel seventy four players, and so we don't
50:31
Speaker 13: get to bring the full allotment of guys like we
50:33
Speaker 13: were able to early in the year. And so these
50:36
Speaker 13: next the next week week and a half is going
50:38
Speaker 13: to be important for us to really evaluate guys roles
50:41
Speaker 13: on special teams as well as their role on offense
50:45
Speaker 13: and defense to to build the right group that's going
50:48
Speaker 13: to travel to Gainesville for a tough ball game here
50:51
Speaker 13: in two weeks.
50:52
Speaker 34: When it comes to determining which assistant coaches and maybe
50:57
Speaker 34: different members of your program who can go out and recruit,
51:00
Speaker 34: how do you make those decisions and what are some
51:02
Speaker 34: of the who are some of those guys who may
51:03
Speaker 34: not be on field assistants or the traditional ten on
51:07
Speaker 34: field assistants you may be sending.
51:08
Speaker 13: Out this Yeah, you know that it's always hard in
51:11
Speaker 13: season because they you only have so many days that
51:14
Speaker 13: you get to be on the road. And not only
51:19
Speaker 13: do you have some only have so many days. You know,
51:21
Speaker 13: we like to send guys out periodically on Thursday nights
51:25
Speaker 13: to go see guys play in person, as well as
51:29
Speaker 13: maximizing those bye weeks and definitely during the bye weeks.
51:32
Speaker 10: I like to get out, I like to recruit.
51:33
Speaker 13: I like to get around our guys, see our committed players,
51:36
Speaker 13: and so on and so forth. So we'll evaluate that
51:39
Speaker 13: closely this week. You know, the one guy that we
51:41
Speaker 13: historically like to get on the road this time of
51:43
Speaker 13: year is Chris Gilbert.
51:45
Speaker 10: And Chris's guy obviously.
51:46
Speaker 13: Got you know, does a great job, and he's a
51:48
Speaker 13: really good evaluator. He's got good rapport with not only
51:53
Speaker 13: the players were recruiting, but their families, and he's very
51:56
Speaker 13: relatable to the high school coaches.
51:59
Speaker 10: And so Chris is active on that front.
52:02
Speaker 13: And then some guys may be out one day and
52:04
Speaker 13: not the next day because we're trying to preserve some
52:06
Speaker 13: days for later in the season.
52:08
Speaker 10: So I think we've got a good plan for this week.
52:12
Speaker 13: We'll be very active and knowing we have the two
52:14
Speaker 13: buys and we have one later in the year, and
52:16
Speaker 13: so you know, you kind of do it somewhat regionally
52:19
Speaker 13: of okay, where are we putt in the spotlight this
52:22
Speaker 13: week and then where we're going to try to put
52:24
Speaker 13: it on the next week.
52:24
Speaker 10: So I think we've got a good plan. But Gilbert
52:27
Speaker 10: will be the main one.
52:28
Speaker 13: I think that's not an on the field coach that
52:31
Speaker 13: will be out recruiting.
52:32
Speaker 10: Can you just kind of talk about what lies ahead?
52:34
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, I think that you start evaluating our schedule,
52:39
Speaker 13: and you know, I'm as excited as anybody to watch
52:42
Speaker 13: a little football on Saturday. There's some great games, is
52:45
Speaker 13: a great weekend of college football, and some high level
52:47
Speaker 13: games are going to get played, not only in our
52:50
Speaker 13: conference but around the country. So that that part's you know,
52:53
Speaker 13: I think I think fun for us to take a
52:54
Speaker 13: step back to see that as far as our schedule goes.
52:59
Speaker 13: You know, our are some of the teams in our
53:01
Speaker 13: conference has some really really brutal schedules, you know, and
53:05
Speaker 13: and I look at Florida and just kind of the
53:11
Speaker 13: gauntlet they've already been been part of, and you know,
53:13
Speaker 13: they were you know, they're at LSU one week and
53:16
Speaker 13: the next week they're at Miami, and they're playing really
53:20
Speaker 13: well defense. I mean that these guys are playing at
53:22
Speaker 13: a high, high level. You know, I think they held
53:25
Speaker 13: LSU to thirteen points on offense. You know, the one
53:27
Speaker 13: touchdown they scored was a pick six, you know, on
53:30
Speaker 13: the road. To hold those guys to thirteen. I mean,
53:32
Speaker 13: and they're holding Miami to thirteen points until about four
53:35
Speaker 13: minutes to go, or sixteen points when I think it
53:38
Speaker 13: was thirteen with about four six minutes to go in
53:42
Speaker 13: that game. And so they're playing at a really high
53:44
