• 0:06
  Speaker 1: weeks ago.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Come to the rent.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: We'll have the hard Auto group countdown to kick off.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Then Wayne Norman, Adam Jardino, myself, the Yukon Sports Network
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Barsitye Network app in varsityenetwork dot com. Bob Joyce does
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the pregame. Bob was on the call at Boston College coach.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I was at a wedding for my son. I listened
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to a lot of the game, almost all of it
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: on the Varsity Network app. So tell your friends around
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the country. And I know you got friends in California
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and you Tall and everywhere else Idaho, uh Varsity Network app.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: That's the best way to listen to us. I think
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: if you're in another part of the country.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I feel like since Mike was on the call when
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: we beat BC, it might be good if Mike was Bob.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Bob was on the call again. Maybe you
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: could go to another wedding.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, I opened the door and you walked right through it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Thank you you opened it. I had You're.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, UAB right they fired Trent Dilford, and they
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: elevate one of their assistants, Alex Mortenson, and they win
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a game right away against the ranked team. I mean
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: that got my attention. I got to say. I don't know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: maybe it was dumb luck. They were at home. They
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: played well. I mean, this team is going to come
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: in here.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I use the word rejuvenated, don't.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: You think, I think? But I don't know. I mean
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I would assume.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: And they had a big win and they had to
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: buy they have a new coach, they're playing for. We
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: expect them to come in here guns blazing. So the
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: most important thing we can do is just make sure
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: that we're ready to play and not worry too much
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: about their psyche, but anticipate that we're going to get
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: their very very best.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Right that's the case. Their wide receiver iverson Hooks, great
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: football name, eleven catches in that Memphis game, scored three touchdowns.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So I'm thinking, your cornerbacks, your defensive back room is
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: really studying this guy.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Yea, these are really good players. Explosive, he's fast, he's
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: got great and they find ways to get him open.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: They move him around. He's a good returner as well.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: So I mean they listen. They've got a lot of
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: talent on that team. You look all over their field
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: with it from their offensive line, their defensive line, their linebackers,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: are running backs, tight ends, quarterback, it doesn't matter what
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: position you're looking at.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Their skilled, skilled football players.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: They have a couple of guys. Well, let's go to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: their quarterback for a second. Jalen Kitten had been their
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: guys first six games, ten touchdown passes, and then they
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: flip it over to Ryder Burton and he goes twenty
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: for twenty seven and throws three touchdowns. So obviously they
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: got some depth at the quarterback position.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got good players there, and we don't know
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: who's gonna play, you know, because we know they're both
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: really good players, and Kitten had been very, very successful.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: They both have tremendous accuracy. They're both you know, throwing
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: over really about right a bound seventy percent or even better.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: So we don't know who's gonna play at that position,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: and I'm not sure that they'll change their scheme dependent
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: upon who's playing. So the most important thing we can do,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: since we don't know who the quarterback is going to
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: be is just prepare for their scheme and prepare to
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: do what we do to the best of our ability.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: And then whoever shows up on Saturday as the quarterback,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: you know, adjust as we need to and go out
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: and play good football against him.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were able to hit some big ones against
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Memphis Solomon BB. They're running back eighty one yard touchdown run.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: That's the longest in UAB history. So offensively, they look
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: like they're going to be dangerous. Well when you look
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: at them defensively, if you've had a chance to kind
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of get a look at what they're up to, what
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: do you see?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I see talent.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: You know, they're very talented. They're big, they're physical, they're
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: explosive upfront. They've got linebackers that can run to the ball.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: They got corners they can cover, safeties that come downhill
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: and will strike you. And they're getting zone. They mix
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: it up well in terms of their looks and their
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: coverages and their pressures. They play with a lot of confidence.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: You see speed all over the field. And uh, you know,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: like I said, I mean, they're just they're a good
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: football team, very good football team, and they've got momentum.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they their cornerback Pierre Royster's got a couple of interceptions.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: He had a big one in the Memphis game at
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the one yard line to stop a touchdown attempt to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: so Ball hawking secondary guys. I mean they got to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: their there. Obviously you've mentioned their talent, but they must
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: be good at what they do too.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: They are.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I mean they're they're and when I say talent, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: mean they're good at what they do. I mean you're
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: talking about a lot of these kids are from South.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: You know, we're playing a team from from Alabama and uh,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of good football.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Players down south.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: So we just, like I said, we're going to prepare
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: as hard as we can, know them as well as
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: we can, but then we have to go out and
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: just execute to the best bar ability on Saturday. Do
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: a great job of communicating on defense, communicating on offense, executing,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: you know, with consistency, playing hard, and hopefully creating some
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: break for ourselves.
