  Welcome to the Yukon Football Coaches Show. We're joined by Jim Mora. I'm
• 0:04
  Mike Crispino. We get together every week Tuesday, six pm on the Yukon
• 0:08
  Sports Network to rehash what happened over the weekend and look ahead to Rice.
• 0:14
  It'll be in Houston for the Huskies, a late afternoon game on Saturday.
• 0:19
  We'll wrap up the first half of the regular season. Coach. Another tough
• 0:24
  loss, second last play loss of the season this past weekend on on a
• 0:30
  day that turned out to be decent weatherwise, actually a good football day after
• 0:34
  all the rain we had. Overcoming what happened there and moving forward, tell
• 0:41
  me about that process, because this has been a tough go here in the
• 0:44
  first five six weeks for the Huskies. You just gotta learn the lessons from
• 0:50
  the loss or the win, whichever just transpired, and you gotta ply them
• 0:54
  and you gotta you gotta get all your focus on the next game. I
• 0:57
  mean, that's uh, that's competition, that's competitive athletics. You know,
• 1:02
  that's not wallowing in the past, but learning from it and pressing on with
• 1:07
  a good attitude and great intentions. The great work work, ethic and intent
• 1:11
  to get better. I mean, you know, that's that's what you do.
• 1:18
  I mean, that's what you do in life, right, and that's
• 1:19
  what you do in football. And we got another game coming up the next
• 1:23
  Saturday. So if you spend all week worried about what just happened, then
• 1:29
  you're not going to make progress. If you spend your time constructively, which
• 1:33
  means learning from the loss, why did it happen, and making those corrections,
• 1:37
  valing to get better, holding yourself accountable, holding the round people around
• 1:41
  you accountable, then you've then you've always got a chance to get better.
• 1:45
  And that's that's what we're going to keep doing because that's the formula for success.
• 1:49
  Yeah, I agree with you completely. Yeah. One thing that football
• 1:53
  fans of the Huskies do, and I'm sure you know they're sitting there watching
• 1:57
  the game if it's on television, are in the stadium, and they're eating
• 2:00
  their pizza and they're you know, they're drinking their beer, et cetera.
• 2:04
  And it's a lot more complicated thing than just what happens on the scoreboard.
• 2:10
  You look at the stuff that happened in that game. I mean, Yukon's
• 2:15
  offense put thirty three points on the board. That was a good thing to
• 2:16
  see, and yet the defense didn't play it's best. So, uh,
• 2:22
  it's got to be frustrating for you because obviously your staff is working twenty four
• 2:25
  seven to get it one hundred percent right. And the offense got going in
• 2:30
  the right direction and take Juan Robertson played well, and yet you know a
• 2:35
  couple of you know, long plays that were allowed about the defense turn the
• 2:38
  thing around. So my question is recovery recovering for the from that for the
• 2:44
  defense. Let's start there, the guys that probably are sitting there going,
• 2:47
  god darn it, we let them down. Could have won that game.
• 2:51
  We should have won that game. So how do those guys recover on the
• 2:53
  defensive side from what they did? Well? We had four big pass plays
• 3:00
  against us, which is you know, we've had a couple in the last
• 3:02
  few games that you know, haven't been very good. We've been a good
• 3:07
  coverage team, we've been a team, you know, one of the better
• 3:10
  teams in the country last year, which doesn't mean anything at you know,
• 3:14
  eliminating a big play against us. So it's figuring out why those things happened.
• 3:20
  And there was you know, four plays and there was four specific reasons
• 3:23
  why they happened, and it's making sure that you correct those things, that
• 3:28
  they don't happen again, that we communicate better, that we understand the call
• 3:31
  better, that we put them in a better call. And you know what
• 3:37
  competitors do is competitors move from moment to moment. That's just what they do.
• 3:43
  Great competitors do. You know, it's no different than I said in
• 3:46
  your first questions. You learn from what happened, you apply it going forward,
• 3:50
  and you compete like mad to make sure it doesn't happen again. If
• 3:53
  you can't do those things, then you can't be considered a competitor. And
• 3:58
  these guys are competitors. We're all competitors. I'm a competitor. Our coaching
• 4:01
  staff competitors are. You know. It's a competitive place over here at Yukon
• 4:06
  And that's what competitors do. So if you can't do that, then you
• 4:12
  then you then you shouldn't be in this business because you're not gonna win every
• 4:15
  time. But you sure us how better compete every time? Yeah, no
• 4:19
  doubt. At fourteen points off two turnovers. Boy, that was good to
• 4:25
  see. In the first half. A couple interceptions and the team turned them
• 4:30
  into points. I mean, you've talked about it for the last few weeks.
• 4:32
  To turnovers, you know, can change the game. Obviously, you
• 4:36
  can help you win a game. Yukon hadn't been able to do it in
• 4:40
  the first four weeks, but two of them in that first half, and
• 4:43
  to me, that was, you know, one of the main reasons you
• 4:46
  got up seventeen nothing. Oh, you're right. You know, you and
• 4:48
  I have talked about it, just taking the ball away and setting us our
• 4:53
  offense up, and you know, we we haven't been doing a very good
• 4:56
  job of that, and we got a couple early. And then key thing
• 5:00
  is that you convert them into points and you know, not field goals but
• 5:01
  touchdowns, and we convert them into touchdowns and so that's a real positive we
• 5:08
  got to build on. Penalties are annoying to everybody. I'm sure the coaching
• 5:14
  staff too, but I think the outsiders looking in go well, that's undisciplined.
• 5:18
  I don't agree with that. I say, sometimes guys are trying to
• 5:23
  do too much. They're trying to make stuff happen, and then something happens,
• 5:27
  they go overboard, there's a late hit or something like that. Do
• 5:30
  you agree with that. Am I on the right track with that? Well,
• 5:33
  I don't know what penalties you're referring to, But some penalties are discipline
• 5:39
  penalties, and some penalties are just football, and some penalties are being over
• 5:44
  aggressive. Some penalties are from you know, the guy you're going against being
• 5:49
  bigger, bigger, bigger, better and faster. Some penalties are you don't
• 5:55
  use good techniques. So there's no one answer. There's a bunch of answers.
• 6:00
  If there's a specific penalty, I can put it in that category for
• 6:02
  you because I can usually categorize him. So but I'll tell you this is
• 6:06
  that you're gonna get penalties in football game if you're playing hard. The ones
• 6:12
  that kill you are the ones when you get in the red zone, you
• 6:15
  know, or you know, you get a big play and then it comes
• 6:18
  back. You know. There weren't any penalties in a game Saturday that necessarily
• 6:25
  affected the game. They were just football penalties. Well, the Huskies have
• 6:31
  Rice coming up. We're gonna talk about them, and we're gonna talk about
• 6:35
  the play of Jilani Stafford, who again shows that he can play offense as
• 6:40
  well as defense. And take Juan Roberson too. Had a nice day,
• 6:44
  so we'll talk about all that with Jim Mora others. The Yukon Football Coaches
