  Speaker 1: podcast predicted on Thursday when we did our game preview,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it would be the defense that wins the game. Did
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: we don't go back and check? Is that what we said?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Bread something like that. If that was close to that,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: let's do it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I thought I had the defense scoring three touchdowns. That
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: not too I missed that.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you missed it. Over it was two and a
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: half was the over Underly, as.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: We will bust into the numbers. How's that all make sense?

• 2:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Court is in session. We record on Sunday morning,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and let's face it, it's always easier to pop in
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to do this little gab fest after a successful weekend,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and as I just said, it was Mountaineers sports teams
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: had a really good weekend. We'll bust into those. And
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: in addition, we've got the Mountaineer soccer team in action
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Sundell Conference tournament later this afternoon. So we wish the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: guy that Hoppy hired Dan Stratford, the head coach of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the team a successful postseason run.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I talked to him this week, had him on my
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Public Affairs really yeah, after they won the regular season
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: title in the Sun Belt.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Did you hear that, Brad? I did Hopyhead Stratford on
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: his politics show.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Happy to get away from Politics while and talk a
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: little soccer, talk a little Neil Neil to win the
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: conference championship.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Dan, please talk to me, just please, just please talk
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to me. All right, boys, let's jump in. As if
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you're a regular to this program, you know, we don't
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: talk at all before we start recording, and it makes
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: for I don't know, interesting theater perhaps, But as one
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: person wrote in the last episode that it's kind of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: like watching a Three Stooges episode when they're handling a bomb.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: You don't know when it's going to explode, but you
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: know that it will explode. So I thought that was
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: just a wonderful analogy. We've got textual healing coming up.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Plus we've got some information in regard to a three
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Guys event that will be coming up later this month.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So let's do this thing. Yeah, go ahead, No, No,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just waiting, Okay, I'm going to kick it to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you now and start off with Hoppies obvious observations. Hoppy's
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: obvious observations our observations that absolutely anyone could have made
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: or come up with, and so they're pretty obvious. But
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Hopey gets to say that, Hey, this.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Is a great moment for me because I get to
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: make the most obvious observation ever.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Brad, do turnovers matter a little bit? Yeah?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Here's a macro though, before I get to that, and Brad,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to Brad stats because here's a game
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: where if you if you took some of the top
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: line stats, you would say, wow, they didn't matter, because
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: the other stat turnovers and field position matter. Think think
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: of the macro here, you change defensive coordinators, you went
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: on the road, a conference opponent, a backup quarterback. The
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: odds makers say you're anywhere from a three to five
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: point dog in this game, and you win the game
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: in a rivalry game as close as you get to
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: a rivalry game in the conference right now. So there
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: are about four or five or six boxes you can
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: check just from the macro in the micro and I'll
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: leave the turnovers to Brad. But my goodness, not only
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: do turnovers matter, But when you are opportunity stick on turnovers,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: it's not just a turnover but a scoop.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And score and a pick six.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I mean that is the ultimate benefit from the turnover
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: the defense. And Steve Dunlap, former defensive coordinator, talked about
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: this in our coverage. He saw improvement in the defense.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: He saw mixed coverages. He saw lining up one way
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and then when the ball was snapped shifting to something else.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: So good job by the defense that had to be
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: on the field, by the way, for seventy nine plays,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of slugs seventy nine plays. They had to
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: be on the field and the defense stepped up, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: you know that won the game for you And Brad,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: you talk about a lot is well. Can guys make plays?
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Can somebody step up and make a play. How about
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Trey Lathan okay on on putting the pressure on the
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Cincinnati quarterback when he when he threw when he threw
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: the ball behind him. How about Trey Lathan making play?
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: How about KK Tarnu making plays? How about Anthony Wilson
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: making play? But how about Red Karako with a strip?
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: How about Nico with.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Even though he did not have a very good game.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Statistically, made a couple of big play how about pac
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Man Fox on returns? How about Oliver strawl as a weapon,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: punting that ball deep into territory to give you field position.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: So there were a number of guys who just stepped
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: up and made plays for.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: You in that game. Those are my h oos. Nice job, Hop,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: thank you, very obvious.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really good win, I mean just a good win.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: You're now the only team in the Big Twelve it's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: undefeated on the road.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, what'd you say? Three and o on the road?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Only under what? Only Big twelve team that's undefeated on
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the road? Interesting? I'm sorry byu is too? Wow? Oh
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: that's right. Oh my goodness, how about that one. The
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Athletics direct was not happy three times second strike Brad's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: comment from the record play record start over. We're the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: only team east of the Mississippi that is undefeated.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those two were late last night. I made that
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: note during our game yesterday during our coverage.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: You, by the way, can I go off Can I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: go off topic? Yeah, of course you can. What's going
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to happen at Utah? Well, I haven't pay a little fine.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Ad took the diis heard that said they weren't happy
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: to be in the Big Twelve.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Now, the commissioner of the Big Twelve conference, he was
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: right next to me. He was at Cincinnati. He was
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: right next to me, next booth over. Yeah, I looked
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: up there a couple times they went to replay. I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: was wondering if he could maybe help us out a
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: little bit on some calls. He did not show for
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the second half, by the way, but the food was
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: still in there. Hope no one went in there and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: took any of that food out of that suite. That
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: would be the wrong thing to do. Somebody probably should
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: have done. I was already paid for, so he didn't
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: want to go to waste course. Absolutely.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I'm not here to talk about BYU and
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: fish Anyway.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I do think there's going to be an explosion tomorrow.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: The league has to do something. An athletic director cannot
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: go to the official postgame press conference, sit at the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: table unannounced, sits down and rips the officials and questions
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: their status in the league. They didn't want to be
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: in to begin with. The guy loses his mind. So
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I did a deeper dive on that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Oh good, By the way he knew he was gonna
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: get fined. He was he was willing to take the fine. Yeah,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: ads have done that in the past. You want to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: get a message out there, that's the way you're going
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: to send your message. You know it's worth the twenty
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: five thousand dollars fine.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: That's going to be more than twenty five We'll say
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I got to hammer them. But anyway, apparently he's not
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a beloved ad because people, the Utah people that I
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: was reading down on the on the messages there, they say, basically,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: guy knows he's a done dude. Oh really Yeah, So
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: anyway he came.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who cares. No one, No one calls
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: into our show, text our show and says, sorry, you
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: got hosed by the officials. So if somebody got hosed
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: by the officials on another team, okay, so be it.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the win. I'll make one other observation.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I don't care the byu won. I don't
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: care that Utah loss. I don't care that they officials
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: don't care Kirtschville because nobody cares what happens here. So
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I do not care that Utah's lives in their mind
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: don't care. Sorry to my to my point, sorry to
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: my point, that crew has worked two of our games
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: this year. Okay, they were here, they were here, and
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: they made I don't think it's the reference. I think
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: there's some people on that crew that are having a
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: bad year. That's all I'll say. Okay, go ahead, West Virginia.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Really remarkable is this spreads on stands? No, because no,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: we'll get into that bunch. Just really good road win,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: two back to back road wins that you pick up.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: And this team again has impressed me with the ability
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to shut out noise, to shut out external things off
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the field. Whether it's head coaching, who should be coach?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: You should we got fire, got fire, whether it's a
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: defensive coordinator being changed, this group has again showed an
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: ability to step up and do what they had to do.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: The change in how this defense played really was remarkable.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: They did a tremendous job your point on the on
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the pressure that was a big difference. And there were
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: multiple guys and you even left one out there that
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: might have had the best game of any defender. And
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: that's for Touma mol and some of his numbers in
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: a minute, so you can go down the list, and
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: that happens in wins.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: You could hand out eight to ten game balls in games,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and you could in this situation. They just did a
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: fantastic job. And it was a day in which you
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: needed the defense to win you of the game. The
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: offense struggled, Cincinnati's defense had you bottled up. You weren't
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: on the field for very many plays, and a lot
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: of that was due to how well your defense was
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: playing and the two scores that you got defensively. But
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: defense and special teams won you of the game. And
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: during the course of a season that happens. Sometimes you're
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: going to play both units well. Sometimes the offense has
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to carry you. This was a game where defense and
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: special teams carried you, and it was it was an
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: impressive effort given what we'd seen from that unit all year,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and given what was going on surrounding that program over
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the last nine or ten days. It's a tremendous win.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Quite remarkable in that category. You're absolutely right, and you
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: alluded to Fatorma Malba. That's got to be a school record.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Show me the last noseguard that had thirteen tackles. That's
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: thirteen tackles for a noseguard like.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Is like thirty nine. It's a dog, it's like eight games.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: That's not even your job, that's not yeah right. That
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: is one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in my life. Thirteen tackles for a middle linebacker would
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: be a great days for a noseguard. He might have
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: made some money yesterday. He probably should have made some money.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: That was an unbelievable effort in a game that had
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of unbelievable efforts from individuals. That one was
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: really really impressive. And you threw KK Tarnu in there.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Don't overlook that either.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Guy.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: He was ever he put into a new position that
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: caused the first interception, that ridiculous throw by Soresby. I
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: don't know what he was thinking good, but thank god
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: he did right. But that was caused because Tarneu was
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: bringing him down. He was trying to prevent the snack.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: The sack that turned into a massive play in the game.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: So KK showed up in a couple of different places
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: and it was doing multiple things that one was on
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: a pass rush. The other when Corey Kiner had that
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: leap and Tarnu was right there to meet him head
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: on knock him out of bound short of the first down.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: That was a big boy hit right there. So credit
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: KK Tarnau as well as a guy that stepped up
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: and played. And there's others, and we'll go down the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: list of some others as we move on. But multiple
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: performances individually and then obviously collectively really good.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: You know this, guys, these running backs or receivers, whoever
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: wants to hurdle, they might want to start second thinking that, right,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: second thought on that, because it's starting to become a
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: little bit more normalized. And when you put yourself up
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: in the air like that, those helmets hurt. You know
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean your leg here, Your legs
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: are about this high and that helmet's about this high.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: There's some body parts in there that don't need to
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: get hit by a helmet, and you're putting yourself at
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: great risk for doing that. Yeah, but he had no choice.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: He was going down if he didn't he was stopped
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: for a tackle if he didn't go up over so
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: he wasn't get anywhere.
• 12:37

  Speaker 1: They were shared, They were shared. You crushed him on
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the ride home flight of Cincinnati.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: They were not shared with where they were intended to
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: be shared.

• 13:48
  Speaker 1: upon the assumption that he was giving them to Brad,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: he's probably given me since he's given me in the past.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: But anyway, that's all what he said. It's a whole

  Speaker 1: whole different story, Jesus, whole difference. We know, we know,

  Speaker 1: they can do it. They can free up your time
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: so that you can run your business, remove the stress
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: associated with hiring staff in this way. You don't have
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: any turnover, right, you don't have any turnover. Hey, we're
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: gonna be leaving. No, you're not. It's okay. I got conmly,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: they're taking care of the accounting. See you later.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: It's not going to be here tomorrow. And I'm feeling
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: well tied. Need a comp day because I worked six hours. Yeah,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: it doesn't happen.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: It doesn't happen. Senator, how are you doing this football first? Then? Hoops? Yeah,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: we'll do football first.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, let's dive in. Let's start with defense.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Let's start with turnovers, hoppy, because that was the key
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: to the game. So to recap where this this defensive
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: unit had been up to this point and why there
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: had been struggles in certain games. We've talked about this
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: many times. Offense was committing more turnovers than it had
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: last year. Defense wasn't gaining any In fact, only three
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Power four teams had fewer interceptions than West Virginia heading
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: into yesterday's game, only three Power four teams. West Virginia
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: had just three on the season. They not only got one,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: they would turn it for a touchdown. Pretty remarkable. There
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: only nine Power four teams had fewer fumble recoveries heading
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: into yesterday's game than West Virginia had. They had three
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: on the season. Did the Mountain got two versus Cincinnata
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: One goes for a Touchdow scoop and score. So just
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: those basic numbers right there just totally flip you a game.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: So turnovers will and continue to be the number one
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: key to the game. So whenever we talk about other
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: keys to the game, always know it's assumed turnovers given
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: and taken are number one. The pressure you mentioned Hoppy
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I thought was really impressive and this isn't There's not
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: necessarily a number here, This is just multiple guys, KK Tarnu,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Tyron Bradley Lathan. You mentioned French Sean Martin Jackson, all
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: with pressure plays to get into the quarterback and disrupt.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: So pressure was increased and really well done. There was
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: a stretch of eight consecutive drives for West Virginia's defense
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: where they allowed no points after the opening touchdown. Eight
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: consecutive Cincinnata drives with no points.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Guys.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: The previous best had been four drives on the season
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: against Oklahoma State and Arizona. Eight consecutive drives. You handled
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: your business on the defensive side. You mentioned the end
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: of the game and how many plays the play disparity
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: in this which happens when you.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Get two defensive scores.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Hop Right, West Virginia was on the defense, excuse me,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: was on the field for the defense for thirty two
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: plays in the final five minutes in nineteen seconds thirty
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: two in the final five to nineteen. West Virginia only
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: ran forty two offensive plays for the entire game. West
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Virginia defended thirty two of them at the end of
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the game. So again, some of that disparity is because
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: you're playing. You're backing off a little bit at that point,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: hop you had such a big lead, you're just backing
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: off saying, okay, if you want to keep throwing it under,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: go ahead, because you're going to cheow clock here, which
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: ultimately is what happened and prevented the comeback. So some
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: of these numbers, when you look at a box score
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: and you say, oh my god, you didn't win any category, yeah,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: because you didn't need to. Right, You scored twice defensively,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: and you started with some short fields which were incredible,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Which leads me into what may be the biggest number
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: of the game outside of the turnovers, but it's related.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: West Virginia had a plus twenty yard field position advantage
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: plus twenty. Hop One of my keys to the game
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: in our coverage was to flip the field, and we
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: talked about this exact thing. Cincinnata came into this game
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: as number one in the country in opponent field position, right,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: They were making teams go further on their drives than
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: any team in the country, and West Virginia totally flipped
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: the field on them and had a plus twenty. We've
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: talked a lot on this show over the years. If
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: you're plus ten your win percentages through the roof, it's
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: ninety percent plus. If you're plus ten. West Virginia was
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: plus twenty in that category. So a lot of that
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: was defense, a lot of that was pac Man Fox
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: that you talked about there. Kick coverage was very good
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: as well in West Virginia game defense and special teams
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: in Ali Straw did a great job again punting pinning
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Cincinnata back. So that really, to me is a remarkable number,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the plus twenty in and of itself, but when you
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: were playing against the number one team in the country
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: in that category.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: It's remarkable.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Another side note about that West Virginia was one sixteen
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: in the country in drives that started with sixty yards
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: or less to go to the end zone. So West
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Virginia's offense hadn't been getting any short fields either, which
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: is part of that field position advantage. So just that
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: to me was if you want an advanced stat number
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: that jumped out. That to me was incredible, especially given
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the opponent. We talked a lot going into this game
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: about Dante Corleone and what that matchup with Brandon Yeats
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: would look like and that it may be a deciding
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: factor in the game. West Rays offense really struggled yesterday.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Credit to that Cincinnati defense overall for what they were
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: able to do. Nico missed some passes offensively, I thought.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: By the way, side note, his postgame interview was simply
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: incredible for any student athlete, let alone your backup quarterback.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I thought he was just a tremendously upfront interview, great attitude.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: We've had him on this program before, so did a
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: super job in explaining some of the things, and he
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: started it with his inaccuracy on some passes. But let's
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: not lose fact of the game that Brandon Yates had
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: against Dante Corleon. We talked so much about how Zach
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Fraser handled that matchup. Brandon Yates handled that matchup extremely well.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know that we said Dante Corleon's name until
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: till the last couple of drives when he finally broke
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: through and made some plays. That was Brandon's second He
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: had the second best offensive grade for any Mountaineer yesterday.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: That's huge.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: That was his best versus an FBS team this year.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Brandon Yates played a great game when he needed to.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: And so again I know the offense didn't do a
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: lot for that game, but Brandon Yates did.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: He was really, really good.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: So a lot of credit to Brandon for stepping up
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: in what was a really difficult matchup and had a
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: really good game.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: You know, Brad on it, especially when the last time
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: they had a guy on his face he had trouble
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: with those snaps, yes, and that was not an issue yesterday,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: it was not an issue.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Brandon was great, So credit to him.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: We talked a lot on Thursday show about Joy Royer.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I spent hours of my life that I won't ever
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: get back talking about West Virginia's inability to guard the
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: seam route. And we did all those numbers and all
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: of that credit West Virginia's defense. On Royer in particular,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: he had four catches on just four targets thirty one yards,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: absolute non factor. That was his second lowest offensive grade
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: of the season, his lowest receiving grade of the season.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: He had his third most snaps in a game where
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: he ran a route and almost no production from him.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: They absolutely shut down their best receiver in Joe Royer.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: That was his fewest targets in a game this season,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: tied for the second fewest receiving yards. So a matchup,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: the two matchups that we talked about Thursday that were
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: really concerning absolutely in West Virginia favors. Yeah, look at
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: some PFF numbers. This is a number that we say
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of times on here backs up what your
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: eyes saw. Westrians defense was within a tenth of a
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: point of the best defensive grade it had all season,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: right there with Oklahoma State. Actually surprised me. I would
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: have thought the grade would be even better given the
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: scoring that came with it. But nonetheless, that was by
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: far the best coverage grade of the season. We have
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: mentioned that West Virginia has had for most of the
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: year and did coming into this game the lowest coverage
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: grade per PFF in the entire country. It was down
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: in the thirties the high thirties. On the season, Westrina
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: busted out a seventy four point eight coverage grade. Its
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: next best on the year was that sixty seven and
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: a half against Oklahoma State. So the coverage, as you
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: saw with your own eyes, graded out extremely well some individuals.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Let's talk Molba for just a second. For Torma Molba,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: he had the second best grade defensive grade for players
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: that played more than five snaps for West Virginia.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: He was just outstanding.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Here's a number that we've talked about a few times before.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Stops.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: PFF defines out as a play that constitutes a failure
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: for the offense. It's generally a linebacker stat Those are
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: usually the guys that lead you in stops.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: To this point.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Josiah Trotter had led West Virginia. We talked back during
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the Albany game because Trotter had eight of those stops
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: against Penn State, which was a remarkable number. It was
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: the most since Neil Brown had arrived for a single player.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: He tied Lee Koba from last year against Penn State
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: with eight since Neil arrived. The previous most stops in
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: a game seven in twenty nineteen, six and twenty twenty
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: five and twenty twenty one, seven and twenty twenty two,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: and then Coba and Trotter each with eight in back
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: to back seasons. That's the most stops by a single
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: player since Neil arrived.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Eight.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: They're all linebackers, right. Molba had eight against Cincinnati. He
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: tied that mark for a defensive final stop.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Again, it's a.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: The definition is a play that constitutes a failure for
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the offense. Blows up, blowed up a play.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Blow they blowed up a play, blowed it up.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Eight individual stops for for Torma Molba as a defensive lineman.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Just an incredible effort. KK Tarnu we mentioned him. He
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: had the best PFF grade of any defensive player that
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: played more than five snaps. Garnett Hollis transfer from Northwestern.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: His best grade of the season seventy point nine. His
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: previous best was a sixty one. And you saw again,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: what did your eyes tell you when you watch that?
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: There were a couple of times when he was right
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: there in coverage knocking passes down. And that was the
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: one thing you noticed, hop right, Just to make it simple,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Outside of the one bus, there was the one where
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: you hit for an eighty yard pass play. Other than that,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: there weren't receivers running wide open. There were people around
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: the Cincinnati players. It just looked better, didn't it. It
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: looked like guys were in better position, and they responded
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: and played really well.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: And even when there were catches, you didn't see as
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: many yards after catch because the defender was there.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just again, we can't I don't know how many
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: different ways we can say that defense was was really
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: really good yesterday.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Also, nice pickup on that flag when they were gonna
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: call Hollis for interference. And from the Mountaineer side, you
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: don't see that very often. That they picked up a
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: lot of flags, picked up a couple, Yeah, picked up
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: a couple. That was a good pickup, But that they
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: could have left that flying down on that one.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish they wish they not picked it up
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: on the past interference in.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: The up zone. Utah's ad wish he would have picked
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: up that holding anyway, go ahead.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: West Virginia made Brendan Soresby really uncomfortable that dude's had
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: a fantastic year for them and the reason one of
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: the main reasons why they're having such a good year.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: And he had been so good at home at Knippert
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: seven touchdown passes and just one interception going into that game.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Obviously you doubled that output with the one interception that
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: came yesterday. That was he had the lowest offensive grade
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: for any Cincinnati player yesterday at a forty one six.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: So part of why he struggled some of this stuff, right,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: we make it way more complicated than this. Your quarterback
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: is your lowest graded offensive player, you probably didn't win
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: that game, and that was the case. West Virginia harassed
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: him all day, had him led him into some uncharacteristic
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: throws because of West Virginia's pressure, and he just had
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: a rough day. So again, defense just outstanding. I find
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: this stat interesting, and this is the courtesy of the
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: folks over at Game on Paper dot com who do
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: a great job with some of these advances stats new
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: one huh, No, I've done that before.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: The Jag Game on Paper the.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Biggest individual plays of the game, and this is judged
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: by a win probability perspective, hop Hm Bradley's Tyron Bradley's
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: fumble recovery for a touchdown that cost Cincinnata thirty seven
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: and a half percent in their win probability. I'm surprised
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: it wasn't more, But that's a map. I mean, most
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: single plays in a football game aren't going to swing
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: it like that. Time place and what it resulted in
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: gave them a negative thirty seven and a half win probability.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Anthony Wilson's pick six cost them another twenty three and
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: a half percent win probability. So what is that sixty
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: percent right there? And quite frankly, it's probably a little
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: bit more if you played it out in terms of
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: if you give up two defensive score or you get
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: two defensive scores in the game, what's your win probability,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: It's probably way higher than that sixty percent. But that's
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: two plays within their seventy nine plays that they ran
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: that cost them sixty percent. How about how devastating it
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: shows you just how devastating those plays can be.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: And listen, West.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Virginia's seen that on the other side, the pick six
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: at case to eight and sure and such but those
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: were massive, the biggest offensive play for West Virginia. Just
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: to put that in perspective of how big those plays were,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: the biggest offensive play for West Virginia in terms of
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: changing your win probability. Nico's touchdown run in the third
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: quarter added eight point six to your win probability.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: So that's great. Eight point six. That's great. Hot you'll
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: take that.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: It's not the sixty percent you got off the two
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: defensive scores incredible. So I just find that a fun
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: exercise to look at win probability after.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: The games, when the Bradley play happened, the backward pass
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: fumble pickup, did you guys instantly know it? Did you
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: realize it? Because no, it was kind of surreal because
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: everyone some players stopped right, some players stopped and it
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: was like this this kind of like everything went woo.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: That was a good job by Tyrone to keep just
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: getting that out. Y, just go because I just was
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: assuming incomplete or not, and that's what you would reveal exactly.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: It took us a minute to figure out the backwards
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: pass part.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: You got.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Look, you you make your own breaks. But there we
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: talk about the football and the bounce you just got
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: some bounces yesterday too. I mean, because he picked that ball,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: bounced right to his hands. Lots of times you see
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: just fumbling and bumbling to try to get on the ball.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Bounce right to his hands, did the right thing. And
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: also even on the on side kick where Lathan it
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: just bounced.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: So right, trail trailing Ray. So you got some bounces there,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: right you needed. It has to come around because we've
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: been going to getting bad bounces all year, thank you.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: That's the regression to the mean that we talk about
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: so often that you're going to get some bad breaks
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: during the season. You're going to to miss a play
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: here or there, You're gonna you're gonna have your hands
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: on a quarterback that spins out of your reach in
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: a game earlier in the season that probably costs you
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: You were due for some bounces in your favor, you.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Know, and I may have mentioned this, but brad on On,
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: we know that Nico didn't didn't have a great game,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: but he had that touchdown run. It was a nice
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: run by him to get the touchdown run. And also
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: those two long passes. What is Tony, Where's West Virginia
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: not been able to.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Do well this season. Yeah, and he dropped.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Those were two of the most perfect passes that you've
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: seen from from eight Mountain, your quarterback this season.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely laid them out there in there. Wonderful job
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: on what was not bad coverage. They were right there.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: You know this got you got a step or two
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: ahead of them and he put it right where it
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: needed to go. Yeah, extremely well done. So that's the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: bulk of the numbers. That's good coming out of that game.

• 31:42
  Speaker 1: World Champion Mountaineers under first year head coach Darren Devrees
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: are now two and oh on the season. West Virginia
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: got just what it needed on Friday night. And by
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: that I mean they were taken up and down and
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: they had to overcome challenges and adversity, and they gnawed
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: and they would not relent and they maintained a lead.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: And so just a great experience when you can learn
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: a ton persevere and at the same time win the game.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Mountaineers over the minimu of U. Mass Mountaineers two and
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: zero off this week up until Friday when they take
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: on the pitt Panthers in Pittsburgh. That game play. Did
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: you go set Friday night? You were at the game?
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Heard about it? Okay?
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that game turned out to be just what we thought.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: We said that was going to be a good test.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: That's a team that has a chance to be a
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: top one hundred team by the end of the year
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: in UMass, and it was. It was physical as we thought,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: and it's you know, a couple of things. Help, let's
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: do some macro then we'll get down in some of
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: the numbers. If you look again, you talk about where
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: the defense for West Virginia's football team improved over a week.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: To talk about some differences in a matchup from a
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: year prior to what this was. Where West Virginia went
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: into spa Field last year played UMass, really got pushed
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: around a lot. That was just a team that out
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: physicaled you. We mentioned the hard foul on Jesse Edwards
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: that cost him some games. This was physical as well.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Is what you're going to get into Frank Martin team,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: you know what's coming out, you know what you're getting a.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Darren Devrie's team. Ye, same thing.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: You get a physical team. Not only were you not
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: out physical, you were the more physical of the two teams,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: and that paid huge dividends for you. So the turnaround
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: there was really impressive for this group. The difference in
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: the game. You know turnovers matter in bo sports, but
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: the difference in this game. How about free throws another game.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: We're gonna try and track that better this year. So
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I have some numbers moving out. When you make more
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: than the other team attempts, it generally turns into a win.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: That was the case here and the thing that impressed
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: me for West Virginia game one, hop you made a
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: bunch of threes.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: You were a really good shooting team.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: That got you the win. That was the story coming
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: out of the game. Offensively this game, threes weren't falling.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: UMass was all over you. They were bodying you. They
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: did a good job on screens, they did a good
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: job being the right spot. Defensively, you were struggling to
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: make your threes at the same clip you did the
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: game before. Guess what, that's basketball.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: That happens.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: So you know what you did. You found a different
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: way to attack offensively, you got to the basket more,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: you drew the fouls, you got to the free throw line,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: and then Tony, what'd you do when you got to
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: the free throw line?
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Brad you went twenty five of twenty nine. That's a
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: percentile of eighty six. Eighty six from the line.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Again, hop can't pick that up, and it necessarily assume
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: it's going to happen every game. For that particular night,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: you take it when you get You got a bunch
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: of free throws and you made a lot. Your free
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: throw attempt rate was fifty one percent, So your free
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: throw attempts divided by your shot attempts, that's a big number.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: That was way up there.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: We've talked about that over the years with West Virginia's program.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: It's usually a factor that turns out well in their favor,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: and it was a thing that under Bob Huggins you
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: used a lot to get a bulk of your points
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: were at the free throw line. That happened against UMass
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: on Friday. Defensively, just really impressive again, ten of your
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: twelve steals on the game, and let me say that again.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: You had twelve steals in game for West Virginia. Ten
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: of them came in the first half, and part of
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: that came part of those steals he had like three
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: in the final three minutes when you built that lead
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: up to seventeen, which you needed in the second half
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: when it got Harry and U Mess got hectic and
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: desperate there at the end and you had to hang on.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: You built that lead in the first half. That was tremendous.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: We've talked about Sincere Harris a bunch and his ability
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: to guard. How about the job he did on Rasuel Diggins,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: who came into the game off a first game for
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Diggins in which he made eight threesph of five from
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: the floor in the first half, oh of four from three, Well,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: totally just eliminated him from the game. He got some
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: points late, he did good job shaking free and getting
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: some points late. But Sincere Harris Tony again, I thought
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: the individual defense by him that made it difficult on
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: what they were trying to do offensively. And then oh,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: by the way, you switched him off on to Curry,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: their point guard in the second half, which was really
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: the source of their offensive success in the first half.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: For U Mess, he was very good. Curry was at
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: the pick and roll, and West Virginia was getting hung
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: up in that pick and Curry was having some success
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: late in that game, Darren made the switch, put him
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: over on Curry done no success there. Curreri had zero
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: points in the second half.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Curry had four missed free throws in the lake going
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: when the game was still hanging in the balance, he
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: finished up five of fifteen from the field, and that
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: was extremely significant in that game. It was kind of
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: a weird game if you take a look at a
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: couple of these numbers. So West Virginia wins it, seventy
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: five sixty nine. If you were there, watched it, listen
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: to it. Thing was on the radio, it was it
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: felt a lot tighter right it. It got a little
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: it got a little sphincter tightening. But listen to this.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: The game was only tied twice. There was only one
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: lead change the entire game, and West Virginia led the
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: game for basically thirty six minutes. Controlled still, but still
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: there was this You could never absolutely knock him on
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: they're up seventeen, but you could never feel really really
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: super comfortable literally until the final minute.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Agree, you know, it's interesting too, and these conversations will
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: be more prevalent in years moving forward, and that's why
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: this was Here's just the nice thing about basketball versus
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: football that you get the opportunity to play games like
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: this against another really good program in UMass. But it's
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: not a league game and you can get your legs
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: under you and work on some things. This is a
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: brand new West Virginia team. As we've talked about a
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: million times. You're trying to install everything hoppy. You know
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: what's hard to get to when the other team throws
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: a one to three to one at youl Via. So
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: credit Frank Martin and UMass. They did some things defensively
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: that you just haven't seen or been able to work
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: enough against yet. So they bust out a one to
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: three to one for a few possessions that WU got
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: some good shots at it, but didn't score while they
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: were in that zone. So it worked to that perspective.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: At the end of the game, they had to come
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: up and press and they had to get hectic and
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: get extra physical in West Virginia. How many times it
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: worked on press break, Probably not as much as Darren
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: would have liked, because you can't do everything. But now
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: you get it in a live situation when live bullets
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: are fling, And that was a really good test. And
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: that's where I credit those guys on the floor in
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: particular for West Virginia for handling those unique situations that
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: they haven't practiced against. And they haven't broken a press
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: a lot with these particular guys because they're all playing
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: together for the first time and they were able to
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: hang on, make their free throws late and get a
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: win out of that.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Just a couple macro observations watching that game. One is
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: that this is going to be a team that West
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Virginia fans can can enjoy.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: They will because of how that is the identity of
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: how West Virginians think.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: They are exactly pretty tough. Get after it number one.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Number two, you know what fans like, They like when
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: you make your free throws. You know, I mean the
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: in the pace of a game where you miss a shot,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: the thing happens so quickly you're onto the next thing,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: free throws. The game has stopped, everybody's watching and you
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: miss it. And how many if you don't shoot free throws, well,
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: how many times did the fans text in Brad and say, Hey,
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: why don't you practice free throws in practice, you know,
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: so making free throws goes over well with the fans.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: And I tell you, I know that We've talked about
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Tucker DeVries a lot.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: He is Tony.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: There are guys in games sometimes where you don't you're
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: not even sure they're in the game.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: You just don't hear Tucket.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: DeVries is around everything, scoring, defense, knocking the ball away, rebounds.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: He's involved all the time.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: He's fun.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: You can just watch him, no, if you want to
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: know how to watch, Yeah, he knows how to basketball.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: Ques off the charts.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those the little things he does when you need
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: him to do a little thing. And that's not even
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: a pop defensively that turns into a steal for somebody else.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: It's just the getting the offense to go when it's
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: bogged a little bit, and he knows exactly where to go.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: A couple other notes on this on this game rebounding right, Oh,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: how's this team going to rebound? I know they got
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: beat on the boards. Again, guess what you won the
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: rebounding battle against a team that outsized you fairly significantly
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: dead even on offensive rebounds. So, as we've talked many times,
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: I think this Western India team. That'll be something we
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: talk about. I get it, but I think this team's
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: going to improve rebounding throughout the year. They were very
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: good the other night in terms of holding you mess
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: at Bay Happy. I mentioned the threes earlier that weren't
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: following weren't following. So West Virginia went to another plan
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: of attack and they were able to thirty seven percent
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: of West Virginia shots against U MASS were at the rim.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: So again with great size in there for the Minutemen,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: West Virginia was able to get to the basket. Now,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: they only made fifty two percent of those, but they
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: that's where they picked up a bunch of their fouls,
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: so they got to the rim. The extra pass is
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: going to be a thing with this team too. They
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: did it against Robert Morris. Excuse me, I thought they
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: were really good against UMass. Again, guys that pass up
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: good shots for better shots. That's just a really unselfish
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: way to play. And it shows you some basketball IQ
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: and it's exactly how Darren Devies wants you to play.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: This team has a bunch of guys that will do
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: that assist rate in this game. Guys, the number of
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: baskets that were assisted on fifty seven percent.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: It's donning.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: That's really good. That's a really good number. West Virginia
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: also made some tough shots. I mentioned UMass I thought
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: did a really good job defensively. They were physical and
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: stayed right on. West Virginia had fourteen of twenty catch
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: and shoots were guarded fourteen to twenty, So then they
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: had six open looks fourteen to twenty were guarded one
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: point three points per possession on that, So if you're
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: above one, that's where you want to be, one point
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: three on those and the final piece that kind of
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: wraps it up. And maybe I should have led with
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: this the contributions from so many different guys, four players
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: and double figures. But Tony, I think throughout that game
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: we mentioned big play or plays from how many different guys.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Really everybody that played did something, And hop I thought
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Darren's lineup juggling, if you were giving him a PFF
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: grade for coaching lineup juggling, a plus, And that's important
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: not only to get you to win the other night,
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: but I think moving forward, because West Ring's going to
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: have some games, Tony, like they did the other night
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: where some key contributors are in foul trouble early and
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: West Virginia had that multiple times, and you had to
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: keep shuttling guys in, get a guy out, buy some
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: minutes where he doesn't get another foul, then try and
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: get him back in, then get them back out. The
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: lineup juggling with impressive, and guys that came in did
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: a good job to help make up that lineup juggling
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: come off as impressive.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so individually, you're talking about a guy like
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Eduardo Andre who's the backup center. He comes in and
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: in the course of thirteen minutes gets six rebounds, scores
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: four points, and makes both of his free throws.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: And how many shots did he change on the defensive end?
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely? And then the other two guys that you
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: just got to give him a big hug right now,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: are these two freshmen in Tenor and Powell. They combine
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: to score fourteen points. Powell hits two more three pointers. Now,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: that's not going to stay like that. Freshman, I don't
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: care who you are, You're going to have some of this.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: You're going to have some ups and downs, but you
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: can see the foundation of them of going to become
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: good very good players is there, but they're going to
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: have up and down because they're freshmen. But at the
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: same time, you got a couple of guys there that
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: can be really successful going forward in their careers.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: They've been great early, but then just go down the line.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Joseph Yesafu comes in. You needed minutes out of him.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: He hits a three and hit both of his free throws,
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: had a rebound and assist, So came in and contributed,
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: and then when you had to go, you know, one
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: of the switches you like to have if you're Darren
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: kJ Orsincere on the floor at one time for defensive
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: pressure on a point guard or a backcourt guy. There
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: were times when you had to get both of those
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: guys off the floor due to fouls, and those other
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: guys stepped up defensively and did a really good job.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: I thought Javon Small in particular, in that flurry at
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: the end of the first half, he just said, oh,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: was that right. I'm just gonna take this game over. Yeah,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna take this over. Had three steals in
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: those final couple of minutes of the half.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Did you notice the very very loud grown on the
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: last shot of the game inside the coliseem there on
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Friday made the final score seventy nine, seventy five to
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: sixty nine, So West Virginia wins by six. Did you
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: notice the noticeable grown when that three point shot from
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Rausul Diggins went in? Bread? Why would that be? Why
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: would why would people groan? Like a game? Sometimes last
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: shots of games matter? What do you mean by what's
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: how's that meaning? Sometimes it affects lines or totals. Oh,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: they're bet nine these games now, I think so, some do.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: So what was it? I don't know. Then it was eight.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: It just depends it like some people got ten. It
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: had moved itself out to ten. It was eight for
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of the week.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Some people lost. In other words, people lost money when
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: that shot went in. It busted. They had some made
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: money on, some made and some loss. But there was
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: a oh yeah, well you'll have really.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Good win bottom line, really good win. Another oppressive performance
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: from from a bunch of different guys.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Three guys before the game is brought to us by

• 47:09
  Speaker 1: months last year, and I'm not sometimes I may fool around.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: The Mountaineer munch absolutely exploded in popularity last year and
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: it's back this year. It's a peanut butter chocolate popcorn,
• 47:23

  Speaker 1: We received some unhappy listener texts that we are not
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: going to be doing a food court for this week
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: when Baylor comes to town. So our plan was when
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: we started the thing off back in the summer, to
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: do it for all the games. Little did we know
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: at that point that El Senatore would be serving as
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: the color analyst for basketball on the Mountaineer Sports Network,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: which means that both of us are going to be
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh on Friday, and obviously hoppy unable to clearly
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: carry the food court on his back. Excuse me, so regardless,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: if just read what I just read what Dave wrote,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: I mean I would just say I would the one.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: I'm the one who would be there. That's what it was.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I would I would be the one who would be
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: there anyway, So here's the deal, no food court. Sorry
• 48:47

• 52:53
  Speaker 1: I wanted to shout out my coworker and fellow listener
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: for the Gomart care package. These recy cups are are
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: already gone. Look at that someone sent them a Gomart.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: There's our beer, a bunch of stuff from Gomart, says ps.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: My newborn son cries every time Javon Small hits an
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: open three. He's three weeks old and he already recognizes
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: it's a thing of beauty. Boom Texter, Tony, don't let
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Brad discourage future Greg Hunter impersonations. I belly laughed so
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: hard on your Icelandic player people due to the fact
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: that you have his cadence down so well. Hopefully Hunter
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: is honored by said impression sent by Adam in Adamstown.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: It's the worst impression in the world.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: I think he did hit it. That's why it is funny.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: It's the cadence. Pretty good player. I saw Hunter yesterday
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: before the game. He drove right after the left of
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: coliseum at ten thirty eastern. I said, Hunter, how was it? Oh,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't bad? Is out of the nose? Got here? Two
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: thirty pretty good? Four four, four, five forty ridiculous. If
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: an impersonation makes you laugh.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: At works plus after a while the impersonation is it's
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: like all the impersonations of Ed Sullivan back in the day.
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: It didn't really sound like Ed Sullivan, but like, yeah,
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: that's Ed Sullivan.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah characterization. Yeah, all right, let's do this picture. Ethan
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: go to the man cave basement with all the stuff.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: This is from Rob and Rob's got a mountaineer man cave.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: I thought this picture was was pretty good. Is that dude?
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: You gotta set up nice? Huh? Could you handle that?
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: It's like NASA? What eight screens there, one, two, six, nine.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that's a good nine. You got one
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: two on the left, then the four. Oh I didn't
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: I'm counting four pictures. He went multibox. I'm wrong, three
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: four or five, six, six six screens? But he multied.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: He multied that one unless those are individual screens. Whatever.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Got a bunch of TVs. Thanks Rob This Texter wrote
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: in you don't respond or read my text anymore. I'm
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: kind of sad about that. Who's that from? Didn't sign
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: a name, but I thought it was. It felt like
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: a middle school girl not getting asked to go to
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: the dance. I wrote back, though, and he responded, so
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: we're okay with it. We're okay with it again. Apologize,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: but all of the texts probably get read, but not
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: everyone is used. But we love everyone everyone, Texter Fyi, Brad,
• 55:35

• 56:29
  Speaker 2: So, by the way, you thank you for the text.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Great job, kevil Ninty.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: I should wrote this video in but the way that
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: the Beckley high school soccer champs.
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: Yes you got the video? Yeah, oh man, three seconds remaining.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Did you see what happened? Though? No I didn't. We
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: heard about it last night yesterday, but so. But the
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: funniest thing is this brad you're following me, says this
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: young man scores this goal, and Beckley wins the state championship.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: And there's three seconds to go when he kicks the
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: when he scores the winning goal, and he takes his
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: shirt off, and a bunch of kids take their shirts
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: off right as they're flying around the field in celebration,
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: and the official issues him the young man that scored
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: a yellow card. Now the goal still scores, but he
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: just got a yellow card, but it was his second
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: yellow card of the game, so he also had to
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: take out the red card. And while he's issuing the
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: red card, the kid is so excited that he just
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: scored a wing on he hugged the referee. He gave
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: the referee guy gave him to ready. Just him, big hug, buddy.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: I got three seconds to go in this baby. Don't
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: care if I'm out of here. I just won the
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: state championship. Needed to get that video.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: Think about that score, I mean, soccer goals are hard
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: to come by, and he scored one with three seconds remaining.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do something here which stunningly is prepared for.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: I haven't prepared for, but Ethan, I'm going to send you.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Here we go. I'm going to send you this goal
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: if you would try to open it up and it's
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: on the it's on the Facebook, and I'm just going
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: to text it to you if you can. If you
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: can get it up and on the video, just text me.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: If not, we'll do it at another time. Anyway, here
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: we go, next one, uh Texter. Three guys rich from Indianapolis. Here,
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: I consider myself a problem solver. I'm not sure how
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: to stop the SEC from swiping our best players or
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: how to help rend Baker navigate the future. But I
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: do think I have a solution to the three guys
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: tutors biscuit dilemma. Here's what you do. You can't add
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: a biscuit to the menu. Every combination is already covered
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: and the list is kind of sacred. Right after Hopey
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: mentioned the weak Swiss cheese option, how much better idea
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: occurred to me here It is three slices of cheese
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: on any biscuit that's already on the menu. It even
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: fits metaphorically, give me a duke three guys style. On
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: a second thought, make it too great show. So he's
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: saying pretty good, just saying three guys it, which means
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: three pieces of cheese. It's a lot of cheese. But
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you good creativity that I like that.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, second tho't make it too because sometimes I'm not
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: around right.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: I think there still could be room for another biscuit though, yeah,
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: I limit, I didn't know there was a cap on
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: the number of items, Texter, very creative the cap.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: Glenn from scott Depot. Here's a question for Bratt. Is
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: there a statistic for blown coverages? If there is, I'm
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: sure we are the leaders in blown coverages per game
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: improvement yesterday, Texter. I've heard a lot this season about
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: the middle eight minutes horse hockey. The game sixty minutes long,
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: and they all matter, signed by Mark and Ripley.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: And middle eight's super important. I had West Virginia. I
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: don't have it up here in front of me, but
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: West Virginia won that middle eight section. From an EPA standpoint,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: expected points added pretty significantly yesterday.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Well, you can take a look at it. I'll take
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: a look you go. I got the thing in here
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: for scoring. So West Virginia scored. He had seventeen in
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: the second quest Virginia scored a touchdown with three point
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: thirty seven to go in the third in the second quarter,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: and then Marciel scored one with eight twenty out. So
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: West Virginia scored seven to nothing in the middle.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's statistically you can come deeper into that
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: because you want to look at at how all the
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: plays worked in that middle eight and what matters. So
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: West Virginia was did well and that's yeah, Mark.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: The statistic is this, if you dig into it, they
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: pull those four in the last four of the second,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: first four the third, and statistically, the teams that have
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: the better numbers in those minutes have a very higher
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: percentage to win the game.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: Here it is West Virginia had an expected points added
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: total expected points added in that time of two point
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: eight three points throughout that whole middle eight. Cincinnata was
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: minus three point seven to three point twenty seven. So
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: pretty significant win in the middle there.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Texter pleased with the defensive performance today. Was it me
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: or did they seem to play more aggressive. Well, if
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: you watched some of the postgame interviews, Tyron Brawley said
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: that Jeff Coons this week said, guys, if you get
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: them into a third in downs and so you take
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: care of your business on first and second down, I'll
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: let you go. And it was more pressure and that's
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: what they did. He also says a props to fine
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: looking Phil and the team over at Daniel's Men's store.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: I saw a sweet do WV horned legend quarter zip

• 1:01:49

• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: you can.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: You can't see that there from that particular picture hot,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: but if you zoom in and Tony wears a shirt
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: sometimes with the same look, so there's just He's right.
• 1:02:16

• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: Good for them and they stayed. Yeah, hey, three guys,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: speaking of that. I had a great time getting back
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: to a Big East Conference game this weekend in Cincinnati.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: People around us were friendly, even got to shake their
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: hands and give them an old thanks for having us
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: as they left there. They are the brothers in the stand,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Steven and David Sam. Now that guy on the right there, folks,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: that's the gentleman who created spreads on stats and produced
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: Textual Healing. Don't know why he's never produced any other
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: songs over the last six or seven years.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: Well, probably because you don't play his song anymore on
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: Textual Healing. He just ran him out of the show.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Well he's getting a little bit of He's gonna get
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit of his Uh yeah, he might be
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: out completely. Start doing some stuff here.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: Big East Game showdown with Boston College next week.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Texter. Should we send some nil money to the SINCI
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: quarterback for his efforts on our behalf. Thanks for having us,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: Mike and Myrtle.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: You know, it was a weird game by him because
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: he I mean obviously he he struggled mightily and just
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: had devastating plays. And then there was about gosh, a
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: period of time there where he was he was smoking hot.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, I'm gonna I'm gonna make up for
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: my mistakes. Yeah. Yeah, uh Texter Periopolis Phil writes in
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: just five words, never apologize for a win. Thank you,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Texter Brad's mantra. Mike from Oakdale random meet up with
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Eric from Beckley to do a thanks for having us. Yeah,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: it's three guys there. Those guys all got it. They
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: were at the game. They said, hey, you from West Virginia.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: I'm from West Virginia. It looks like they took that guy,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: the Sinsey guy in the middle. They were just giving
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: him thanks against his will. This looks like it's a hostage,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: heard him. Thanks for having a picture. Ye, well done,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: Thanks for having us. Texter writes this. I'm in game
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: at the game, an in game text at the game,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: and this is all they said. I really appreciate our facilities.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: H what are you saying? I think it says a
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: lot texter high scopes, the new color guy in the Hobster.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: I can't remember many games with a disparity as the
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Cincinnata fourth quarter. Thirty plays one and forty six yards
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: for Cincinnata, four plays one yard for West Virginia, and
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: one play was a kneel down to get the dub there.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: It was great fortitude. Those two defensive tds major mistakes
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: by Cincinnata. Would good teams take advantage of those immediately?
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Joe and Charleston.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll keep saying I know that the account's
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: mistakes for Cincinnati. They'll be looking at that way. Those
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: were caused by West Virginia. Yes, that wasn't a dude
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: just standing back there didn't see a defensive back or
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: made a bad throw. He was under severe duress on
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: both those are caused mistakes.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: And the film was a strip by Karako, So the
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: defense caused that to happen.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: Another thing is that West Virginia we talk a lot
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: about in need of rivals, and Cincinnati's the closest thing
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: you have to arrival, and they've had. They haven't played
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: that many times compared to like a Virginia Tech or
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: Pitt But there have been games, but the games have
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: been such that it adds to the rivalry, and yesterday
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: was one of those.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: You get it right, You're right. Those are the two things.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: Either you need time or you need things to happen
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: during games. Right, like when the replay official scroogy on
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: the Isaiah Peede fumble back in which never where that
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: was so that I mean Cincinnata didn't do that, but
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: it happened in their building and it costs you a win.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: So that adds to the the legacy.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Of the rivalry.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right, horrific replay official call.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: Now, and we were talking about that twenty eleven game
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: where West Virginia blocks a field goal attempt which would
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: have tied the game if it was good, and Gino
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: and Tevon and Steadman went off in that game.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: What every time I hear the words Steadman, I just
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: think back to the clumps Steadman. Fine looking man, great movie.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: I think we have the video, so let's watch. Let's
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: run the video. Here's the soccer final and this is
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: for the World Championship down in Beckley yesterday. So you
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: see here there goes the goal. There's three seconds to go,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: So here's the kid that scores it. These kids just
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: start rip in their shirts off right now. Look down
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the screen. The cameraman Tarren Malone really
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: working hard, running around Gosh, getting a lot of shots
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: for Metro is. Now. Watch as the video continues, they're
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: having the massive doggy pile. They're celebrating. There's three seconds
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: to go. They have taken the lead, and they show
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a replay here and watches that
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: boys perfect pass off the foot into the goal. They celebrate.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Now when it goes back to the live action here
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: in just a moment, you will see the official a signing.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: There's the yellow card. Now he's gonna come up with
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: the red card, and there's a kid gives the referee
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: a hug, thank you, thanks for having us.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: Was Tarren working on behalf of one of those teams?
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: Like how did he get such a great seat on
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: the bench, like he's closer than the coach?
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Well, he waks, he works. I mean he's learned from
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: Joe Bricado and uh, I'm sure those are great photos.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen him on WV Metro News. I'll look
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: later today. I say you closer to the goal than
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: any player was. I think he was credited with an
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: assistant on the floor.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: He was, and you could tell because it's aggressive tearran.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: He was really tempted to get on the pitch.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was very close to he did.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: He made it onto the field to play, but I
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: didn't crossed over.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. I get nervous though, with his athleticism when
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: he ran down that field, I thought he could tip
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: at any time. Would have been a situation. He gets
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: in there, he does Texter high. Three guys I have
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: not heard of television broadcast recently since I usually listened
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: to Tony and Dwight on the radio while watching the
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: game on MOOT. Had no choice yesterday due to a
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: scheduling conflict. I was surprised to hear Nico, Markole and
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Wyatt Millim in the first five minutes from the television announcer.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: Are they that bad now or is that just someone
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: who is ready to retire? Curious though, are there any
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: words or names that any of the three guys struggle
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: with or have struggled with? Any words or names you
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: just never felt comfortable pronouncing, no matter how much you practiced.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: Love the show signed j D from the Southern Coal
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: Fields PS. Please bring back the food court for the
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: UCF game. You ever struggle with any names? Hoppy? Oh?
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you do, and I struggle if you listen closely,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: I struggle with ours.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: I struggle with Ai Tail Sale Mail. I really have
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: to bite down hard to get those out there. If
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: I want to say particularly particularly.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: Particularly, it's a hard one for me. That's a hard work.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: I try to leave it out of my.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: That's just to avoid it. So you just go a
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: sort of kind of sort of kind of thank you, JD.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: You may have discussed already, but here's a question. When
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: has West Virginia University had both a men's and women's
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: basketball player on the Wooden Award preseason Top fifty? Good question? Wow,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: would that'd be like you'd have to probably if it
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: happened Rosemary Casork on the women's side, and then you'd
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: have to see if w men had anyone that year.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: That'd probably be the closest thing I would think. I
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: don't think it's happened. I don't know.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't Meg have been on one of those lists.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: At some point? But then need you have a man?
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: I know, but I'm trying to think of the women's
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: side of things. First. Look at that Greg from Pittsburgh
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: rights on my visit into West Virginia last week, and
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: I was able to procure my first six pack of
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: Connection three oh four, which paired perfectly with the win
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: over Arizona. As I search for a celebratory beer this
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: Saturday evening after the UC win, I find myself drawn
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: quickly my remaining few. Connection three oh four is perhaps
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: a new tradition. I've got four left, so by my account,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: that'll get us to eight and four and maybe a
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: w in Dallas. If you're going to dream, might as
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: well dream big, love the show. Let's go mountaineers. Yeah,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: that'd be a good plan. West Virginia mathematically is still
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: alive in the big twelve race. That's worry about the
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: next game, just saying hey.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: Guys, I mean, I'm the big next game guy too,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: hopping it's certainly that's so much. But you know, you
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: want to take a peek at the standings. You're fifth
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: right now, Well, you're tied for third. Yeah, you're tied
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: for third is where you are now. I know tie
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: breakers would be something different that puts you in fifth,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: but you're really the third best record in the league.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, guys, I thought the Big Twelve title game was
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: a pipe dream, but actually, off k State, Iowa State,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: and Colorado each lose another game, West Virginia would essentially
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: control its own destiny based on likely tiebreaker with Colorado. Also,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: why didn't the Big Twelve make the Cincinnati game a
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: guaranteed annual game for West Virginia when most other leagues
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: teams got one. That's a good question. Iowa State in
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: a free fall? Yeah, my gosh. How about Kansas? Oh,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: it woke up a little bit. Huh.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: It's what we say so often, guys, that Iowa State
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: was doing some good work and winning games, but there
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: were some flaws that were there that were going to
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: show up at some point. Kansas has some talent. There's
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: a reason they were so highly thought of before. They
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: hadn't been able to come together, were losing close games.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: Anything can happen in this thing. I will say this too,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: just speaking a Big Twelve and what's going to happen
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: over the last three weeks. Colorado is really playing well.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: Guess they had some I don't know if you saw
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: much of the Texas Tech Colorado game last night. They
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: have some dudes both sides of the ball that absolutely
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: flat get after it. They deliver some hits defensively, and
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: we talked hop on our coverage that keep an eye
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: on them. They are sneaking around the chicken coop there
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: with some help. They got it again yesterday with the
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: lost Iowa State. They only have left Utah at Kansas
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: and Oklahoma State and they're sitting right now in second
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: with just one conference loss.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: There.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: They're in a pretty good position right there. Yeah, I
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: think so, and BYU might just be like TCU from
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. Yeah, they're just finding ways
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: to win. They're getting some help. They've got Kansas at
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: Arizona State, which is no gimme Arizona State, it's been
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: the surprise in the league, and then at Houston, so
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: again no automatics. But BYU has a nice remaining schedule too.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: Iowa State in Kansas State play each other to end
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: the season, so someone there is getting another loss.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: Correct, last game in Iowa State.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: Still trying to get to ten wins for the first
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: time ever in that program's history after what they have
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: a seven to zero start.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, lost the last well, you had said, they've never
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: gotten to that level. Their fans oftentimes get nervous. They're
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: probably bumming out today. Yeah. By the way, just to
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: receive this from our producer. The reason Tarreen Malone has
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: such close access, Brad, you asked about that. He he's
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: the official SSAC photographer, right, he gets all access. I
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: didn't know what included playing field for. I didn't know
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: you could go into the goal. That's awesome he does.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: By the way, he has a great shot of actually, yeah,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: being in the goal as the ball came in, I
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: don't know ninety one ninety two.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: Or when it left his foot. He had he was
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: shooting himself as it.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: Left his foot into the goal ninety two Rosemary Cussoric
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: would have been like on a wooden watch, right. Probably
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: right the men's team ninety one ninety two, you had
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: Marcellus bas Jimmy Bodkin, Mike Boyd, PG Green, none of
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: those dudes, Kricaldy, Chris Leonard, Catfish McNeely. So probably nobody
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: was on the on.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: The men's side. Uh, Texter. The wind was so gritty
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: it could have sanded my hardwood floors. That makes too
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: straight with a high pucker factor. Or HPF as the
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: kids say, hopefully the defense can stack performances. I have
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: to think some of the offensive struggle came for what
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: I believe is Nico's first start against this stack defense.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: Happy to get another W signed by Justin in West Milford.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: Well, Neil Brown said, as is often the case with
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: every team, is you begin the stretch run, which will
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: determine how your season will be viewed. And you started
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: with a win on the road. Now you get a
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: home game against Baylor, so now you're you know, you're
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: in good shape.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, last one here Saturday was a great day to
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: be a mountaineer wherever you may be, including Atlanta football.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: And then afterward, check out the Lady hoopsters. They're up
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: forty Yeah they do. You see that turnover number twenty
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: six in hand.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: And stunning and I don't know that I've seen that.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: You never saw the number before, right, more turnovers than
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: points scored.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: Forty four turnovers they forced I'm sorry, excuse me, forty
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: four Jerry West. Niagara was honoring Jerry West, so they had.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: And they scored what forty one points?
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, who women's team off? Took good start, Yeah,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: Niagara wanted out of the game. Member. Yeah, we had
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: heard that they wanted out of the game after they
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: came here last year and committed a ton of turners.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: But he was coming for the women, right, got pitt
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: In A and M Texas A and M Friday Night here.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: Who Anyway, this gentleman in Atlanta says afterward, I closed
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: out the day with Charles Wesley Godwin in concert, and
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: then he included his traditional Country Roads show closer. It's
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: bad video, but it's just good to see. Can you
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: run that there? It is so Chuck's on there and
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: he's saying country Roads. Chuck always gets happy when he's
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: performing on a Saturday night. Where was this in Atlanta
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: last night? Oh, that's where Charles was. Yeah, he was in.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: He closed the show with Country Roads. You know, I
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: think he performs better after the Mountaineers win. I think
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: when he went on that stage, yes, a little bit
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: more bounds. Probably had a couple of those expresses. He
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: got the expresso machine they travel with. Yeah, he probably
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: fired up a couple of cappuccinoses. He put some game
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: day grind in there too, Oh he does. He loves
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: their coffee, loves our coffee. So that's it, all right,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: anything else for the go to the order, No, I
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: just you know, big week coming up, run week. Yeah,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: it's a fun week. We got it. I'll tell you what.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: Man UCF isn't laying down. Nope, Baylor I know, but
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm looking ahead. Oh yeah, I mean
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: they I mean they went on the road and they're
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: still they're Currentking and Baylor is far from.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Baylor's on a on a little run here and
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: obviously we'll talk about that coming up here in the week.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: But they hop I was hoping they would not be
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: at the point they are right now. They've rallied here
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: after a tough stretch where they had lost three in
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: a row. He thought, Okay, Baylor's they've turned around in
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: one three in a row, So that's going to be
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: a that's going to be a matchup. They run it
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: a little better than you might think. And we know
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: what what Jake's gonna want to do. Jake Spavatol, the
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: offensive coordinator now for Baylor returning to Mountain Field, He's
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: going to want to try and test that defense deep.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: So how much of that performance can you pick up
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: and move forward. Was that a one week bounce that
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: you got or is that sustainable over these next comps?
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: I tell you what you got, and we saw it
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: in that game yesterday with the defense flying around.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: You saw confidence spread.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: You did saw confidence swagger and swagger, and you saw
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: guys because it breeds you have success.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: It breeds success.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: I mean you have to execute, but you saw guys
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: bouncing around with confidence and which had not existed as
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: much previously except frankly out.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: The only way you get confidence is through results. I
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: mean you can act like you have fake confidence and
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: you can try and project. The only way you actually
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: really have it is when results go your way. And
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: West Virginia was getting the results right. Plays were building
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: on top of each other and momentum, right, is momentum
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: a big thing, and in college sports in particular, you
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: saw it after that first couple of drives for Cincinnati
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: until the turnover. You were looking at that going, oh,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: this is not going well, and then it flipped on
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: its head and West Virginia took all the moment.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: And just it'd be fascinating to know, well, I think
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: you saw, based on the results what happened in the
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: room over those last two weeks, because that's significant. I mean,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: you you fire your defensive coordinator and you know, a
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: guy's been there for a number of years, and you
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: bring in the next guy who's, yeah, he's on the
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: he's on the coaching tip, but still the next guy's
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: in charge, and you you have the first thing is
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: does he have the room? Are they tuned in? How
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: are they going to respond?
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: Right? That's the first thing, And then you saw how
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: they did.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: Well, And then you wondered aloud on the on the
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: last show in the preview, would would that have their attention?
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: Would the players respond to that move? And I countered with, well,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. What are you going
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: to get?
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: They did? Right?
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: Those players obviously said, okay, we've got to play better too.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: So they responded, here's the other thing. Let's not dismiss
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: I should have led with this. Let's not dismiss the
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: importance of this win. When you're with you're on the road,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: you're without your starting quarterback, which means you're also without
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: your leading rusher, whether that's in yards or EPA producer.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: You're without your starting quarterback. You're without your leading rush
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: and you're without your leading receiver and Hudson Clement and
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: you just gotten rid of your defensive coordinator. That was
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: all lot going on for that team to go on
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: the road and find a way to win. So I
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: don't think you just gloss over us.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: It's a good win. Nice job.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: Here's what they did that There were a lot of
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: things working against the Mountaineers in that particular game.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: Which is why Cincinnati was about a five point favorite,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: and which is why Cincinnati today has got to be
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: absolutely biting its lip, just bummed out you. They did
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: not expect that.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's the third game the Bearcats have had
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: against a backup quarterback. They'd won the other two, so
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: that they were having one of those schedules where it
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: some thing's open up for you and you'd get some
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: opportunities that go your way. West Virginia did not allow
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: that opportunity to go to Cincinnati.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: Saturday, West Virginia will play the Baylor Bears here. It
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: will be the unique four o'clock start time. The weather
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: looks good early on a high temperature on Saturday of
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: fifty six degrees and there's a cloud and a sun
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: over it. So I think they're talking about partly sunny skies.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: If I'm reading that right, yell until at fifty six
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: till the sun sets it. Well for twelve we'll have
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: an hour of daylight, having about an hour a day,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: so let's not look a gift horse in the mouth.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: So that's what's going on. And then Mountaineer basketball in action.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: As Brad said, the women have got Pitt and Texas
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: A and M here this week, and men's soccer continues
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: play as we record on Sunday, so that could still
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: be happening during the course of this week. And then
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: of course Mountaineer men's basketball against the Pitt Panthers. So
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: a lot is going on. Don't forget if you'd like
