  Speaker 1: Back with Jim Morris. Yukon faces Wake Forest this weekend
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: at Wrenstler Field. Twelve noon is the kickoff, and we're
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: talking about the Demon Deakins and their offense. First of all,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hank Bachmeyer is a very experienced quarterback. We talked about
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: him being able to throw the football. Obviously running the football.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Is he going to be a big threat there too.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's not a guy that is looking to
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: run first, but he's certainly a guy that's big and
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: tough and sturdy enough to get the yards that they
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: need to move the sticks. So in this offense, he
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: does have the option to run it at times, and
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: he's not afraid to pull it down and stick his
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: head in there.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: You know, he's this is a tough character. Now.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: He's a tough dude and like I said, very smart
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and the guy that's willing to do whatever it takes
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: to help his team win.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk to Tom mont Gordine in a few minutes.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Tell me about that defensive line. I mean, I just
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: love those guys because if they're in the trenches, they're
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: getting beat up every week. They've had a pretty good
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: season so far with him and Jelannie Stafford and everything
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: else in Price he ates. We haven't even been able
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to talk about Price because he's been out the entire season.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: If he could play, how much better could that defensive
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: line be?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, Price is a heck of a player. So
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: anytime you add a good player like Price to the mix,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: it's going to help your team. Hopefully he's getting closer
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to playing. But those guys, you know, we're able to
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: use rotation Dow and Jilanni and then Jack Barton's been
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: doing a really good job as a starter as well.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: And you get Javon Banks in there, and you get
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Jaden Simon, and you get Curvin's choate and you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: we've even gotten Matt Hoffman some snaps. You know, it's
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a good rotation we have going there right now. And
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: if we can get Price added to the mix.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: And we will only be better.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So I think the thing you like about Jeelani and Dow,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: besides their ability on the football field, is just their
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: leadership skills and the way they practice and their mindset
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and the way they hold the people accountable. They're truly
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: what you're looking for on your team in terms of
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: guys that are really good your best players being your
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: best leaders.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: One thing statistically that I was looking at with the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Demon Deacons, they're pretty effective on third down about thirty
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: nine percent something like that. Does that tell you that
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: they're very effective on first and second down and put
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: some put themselves in third and shorts more often.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Typically, that's an indicator that they're getting in third manageable.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: It also, I think is an indicator of you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Hank's ability to make good decisions and their receiver's ability
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to get open. And I think they have a really
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: good offensive line. I think we haven't talked about their
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: offensive line, but they're big, big, big, athletic, powerful physical
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: guys up front.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: And I mean it's a power four team, you know.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I mean they typically they've got you know, you'd go
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: power four teams. You're going to look at some big
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: bodies that are very athletic and very good football players.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: And that's what they are.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're wide receivers. Taylor Morn's got twenty nine catches
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of the Demon Deacons and Horatio Fields, I love that name.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: He's got twenty catches, three for touchdowns. So obviously they
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: got a dangerous bunch there out on the outside of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I think. So they're very balanced on offense.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: You know, they throw it well, they run it well,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: they take care of the football, they keep you on
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: your toes, and you know, I think they've got now
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: with the addition of these two tight ends coming back,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you know, they got three or four, maybe five tight ends.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: They're all really good players. So they're very complete team offensively.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Their defense coach led by Nick Anderson, one of their
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: DB's usually the linebackers of the heart and soul in there,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: but Nick Anderson, he's got sixty nine tackles. This dude
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: is in a lot of plays. Obviously. That's something that
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I know you appreciate being a defensive guy. What is it?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: What is it about Nick Anderson in your mind as
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you've looked at him that has made him such a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: good player back there?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: His ability to diagnose, take good angles to the ball
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and play with you know, kind of a reckless abandon
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: although not a recklessness of play because he's very very smart,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: but just key and diagnosed angles to the football, relentlessness
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: in getting to the football, being a good tackler in
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the open field, understanding when he can unload on a
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: guy in the hole. They've got a good defense, and
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: they play well up front. They've got some big people,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: they've got a solid linebacker crew. They've got a good secondary.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I keep hearing from their coach. I watched his press conference,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and you know, a lot of questions about their corners. Shoot,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I look at their corners. I think they're pretty gone good.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: So it's going to be an amazing challenge for us.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I know that they'll come in favored. They're coming off
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: a loss. They should, you know, have a lot of
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: energy and motivation to play well, and we just got
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to try to match that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got about another minute or so left with
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Jim Moore. Dave Clausen is the head coach. Came from Fordham,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: then he was at Bowling Green. He graduated from Williams
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: small college up in Massachusetts. But wow, he's had a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: lot of success there. I mean, seventeen to twenty twenty one,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: thirty eight wins, most in a five year period for
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the Wake program, third most wins in the ACC since
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, they've been to a bunch of bowl games.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is one of those programs.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It's not North Carolina, it's not NC State. It's not Clemson,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: it's not Florida State. But you got to really appreciate
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: what this guy's done at Wake Forest.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: He's done an amazing job. You know, that's an academic school.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: It's not easy to get guys in there. But he's
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: done a great job of recruiting, building a tremendous culture
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and winning culture. He's a really good football coach, as
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: players reflect that in the way that they play and
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the discipline that they play with. And I've not yet
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: met him, but I have a ton of respect from
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: him from Afar. All you have to do is turn
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: on the tape and you can see that. You know,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: his teams play hard and they play discipline. Into me,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: that's just a reflection of him.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And one of the things they've done pretty well over
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the last few years is win close games. One score games.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: They're twenty one and seventeen. That's always good to win
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the close as well. Ukon went a close f the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Temple a few days ago, trying to add to that
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: stretch at home. Jim Mora, the head coach with us,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: we appreciate it and good.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Luck on the weekend. All right, Mike, thank you? All right?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Jim Mora and the Huskies get after Wake Forest twelve
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: noon on Saturday at Wrenschler Field. We'll be back with
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: more down Mont. Gordon Connor stunts the punter when we
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: return on Larfield
