  Speaker 1: going to go three and two.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: As they played Buffalo out of the MAC this weekend.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And Jim, you did it again without Victor Rosa couldn't play,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: been out a couple games now, Ben Morowski, your big guard,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: couldn't play, and of course Price Ace hasn't played yet
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: out of the d line.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Those are three important guys. And when you.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Look at you know, being able to compete and win
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: without some of your key players, what's that tell you
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: about what you have going on there with the roster?
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Tells me are building depth and that there's some kids
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: here that have worked very, very hard behind the scenes
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: to get in a position where if called upon, they
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: could go out and perform. You know, in particular, you
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: know Britdy Weyburn and Kyle Jurgens who replaced Ben Uh
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: kind of behind the scenes, just really going after it
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: and working hard and Uh and then when called upon,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: going out and delivering and contributing. And so, you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: you never like anyone to get hurt, but when someone
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: goes down and you can have guys come in and
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: play the way Ben and Kyle did, it's only going
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: to benefit this team. You know, give us confidence, give
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: them confidence. There's going to be you know, in this
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: in this sport, as we know, there's going to be
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: injuries and guys you're going to miss games, and so
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: you have to have the depth that has some experience
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: that can go out and and perform the way those
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: guys did.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Brady Weyburn, a kid from Windsor, Connecticut, went to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Loomis Chape. He prepped school, stepped in the lurch, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: really helped the Huskies on Saturday, excuse me, as they
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: averaged or rather they put together a five hundred and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: forty three yard offensive effort, doubling up what Fau was
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: able to do on offense two hundred and fifty yards.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to that for a minute. Getting off
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to a good start at home, and it starts with
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: defense in this case, and I thought the Huskies did
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a great job defensively. They held Fau one for eight
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: on the third down conversions. I mean, that's always a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: big down and when you can keep them from you know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: getting any kind of drives going, that really gives you momentum.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Done it on the sidelines, Yeah, I think the first
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: two drives were three and out. Maybe the third one
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: as well, but I think it was just the first two.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: And that was something that we put emphasis on this week,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: is starting faster on defense. You know, we've given up
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: some drives early in games. It's been disappointing, and so
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: we still weren't we still weren't per effect in terms
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: of our assignment and and uh the execution. But we
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: played hard and that that really matters. And we played
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: fast and that certainly matters. So if we can clean
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: up some things structurally and clean up some things in
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: terms of assignment and execution, then you know we've got
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: a chance to be a good defense and we've just
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: got to keep working on it. But starting fast and
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: getting your offense to the ball, that's that's a big deal.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's you know, there's a there's statistical analysis
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: that will tell you that, you know, the teams that
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: start fast, a score first in the first quarter, in
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: the third quarter win the majority of the games that
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: are played. So we have to continue to focus on
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: those things.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And that's what good teams do, don't they. I mean,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: excuse me at Maryland, they got off to a great start,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: score twice, gotta got a touchdown right away, So you're
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: starting to.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Look like a football team. To me.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: That's, you know, starting to get around the corner a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: little bit, doing the things you have to do on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a daily basis in game to be a good football team.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, it doesn't matter unless you keep
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: doing it. And so that's my point to these guys,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: And it's all about the work that we're doing during
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the week that creates the confidence that allows us to
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: go out and perform on Saturdays, and just keeping our
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: head down and continuing to work, not look at the scoreboard,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: not look at anyone's record, just going out every day
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and focusing on doing the work, taking care of the details,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: creating the right mindset, and if we do those things,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: we have a chance to continue to improve, and that's
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: that's our objective.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Well, several of the guys in the post game we're
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: talking about, pardon me, the fact that you were arping
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: on it all week. We got to finish, we got
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to play fourth quarters. You got to duke in the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter with a lead, but couldn't finish it. So
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing you feel pretty good about the fact that
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the guys got your message.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: They got it, but they have to keep getting it,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to keep delivering it, you know, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: they're gonna hear it over and over and over and
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: over and over again, because it's what I believe in.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I believe that you do the work, you pay attention
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: to details, you create your eight mindset, you're passionate about
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: what you do, You outwork your potential every day. You know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: you challenge yourself every day to be the best you
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: can be. Then you have a chance to improve. And
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: if you don't do those things, then you're gonna stall
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: out and you're gonna end up being disappointed. I think
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: It's so important that when you win a football game
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: that you don't just gloss over any mistakes that may
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: have happened, or things that you can do better, or
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: decisions that you made as a coach that you know
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: didn't hurt you this week, but they could hurt you
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the next time, and you just go, oh, we wont
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: So it doesn't matter. No, everything matters. And our guys,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I believe, really are starting to understand that. I think
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: there's a maturity level of this team that lends itself
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: to hints of being able to be successful if we
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: continue on this path.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you have balance in terms of, you know,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: both sides of.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: The ball in your production.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Like two if of mea Brown Jaden McDonald up there
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and tackles over thirty you know, on the offensive side,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you get.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Four guys who've rushed for over.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Thirty times, including your quarterback, Nick Evers, tell me about balance,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, how important is that as this season progresses?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Well? Balance to me is not numbers. It's not statistical necessarily.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is numbers, but it's more production. The
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: balance does not mean that you run it fifty percent
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: of the time and pass it fifty percent. Of the time.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Balance to me means and to most coaches that I've
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: ever been around and know, it means when you have
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: to be able to run the football to put a
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: game away. You can run a football and put a
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: game away. When you have to be able to throw
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the football in order to get big chunk plays or
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: late the ball down the field, or you're playing from behind,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: then you have to be able to do to throw
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: the ball. And if you can do those two things,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: to me, that's balance. That's having a balance football team,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: a team that can equally run and pass very well.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: So we are still working to become balanced, you know.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I think if you look at the game against Merrimack,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: we threw the ball really well. I think if you
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: look at the game the other night, we threw the
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: ball really well. We just didn't have to throw it
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: as much. So I feel like our version of balance,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: which is you know, not numbers, not attempts, but production,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: we're making strides.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: All right, We'll talk to Jim Moro continue after a timeout.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: We got to Nick Evers coming up and Chris Freeman
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the field goal kickers, So stay with us. It's the
• 7:47
