  Speaker 1: Hi, everybody.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: Scott Saderfield, head football coach, University of Cincinnati.
• 0:03
  Speaker 3: Football, Brendan Sowersby, quarterback, and we're.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Here with bleach report on the field study things that
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: we're gonna look at today, Certain plays that Brennan's gonna
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: be able to go out and make with his arm
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: and his legs.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: We're gonna learn a little bit of.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: How we manipulate the defenses and how we go out
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: there and make plays.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get into it.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: So this was a play you know that we had
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: wrapped a lot throughout the week and you can kind
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: of see right here trying to sell that I don't
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: have the ball. And we practiced this playfake all week
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Coach Thomas and the quarterbacks trying to get as much
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: bite down on on the playfake that we could. And
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: then you know, really the throw, the throw to Goodie
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: was underthrown, but.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: He was so open. I just didn't want to miss him.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, with the playfake, we're trying to
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: get you know, bad eyes, bad eyes, bad eyes, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: then just you know, for him to kind of get
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: lost in it all.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Now, talk to me a little bit about this playfake.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Was this Anon Rodgers inspired or what I mean.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Oh absolutely.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: You know, in the in the quarterback room, we're always
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: we're always talking about Rogers and you know Stafford too
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: with the no look passes and stuff. But you know,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Rogers is kind of the creator of this little this
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: little playflake playfake right here, just putting it right in
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: the hip and then just kind of drifting and open.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: You know, you're not getting killed off the back.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: It's a big debate too with how we fake right here,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Like people don't understand I think sometimes when you go
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: into these I mean like we want we want one hand,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: no ball, we want to show the ball and put
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: it on the hip. I mean, there's a lot of
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: different things that we're working on behind the scenes. And
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: then but obviously you gotta be comfortable with yeah, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you love this action right here, like you can get
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: a good sale, and obviously it paid off, and I
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: think we got a great sale right here, and you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: goodies wide open.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: It's just a matter of throwing and catching. It ended
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: up being a great play force in the game. So
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: we're gonna show you a little bit of how that happened.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: You know, we're being a little under center. You know
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: obviously had the line.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: You can kind of see it all unfolding, you know
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: what you think is gonna happen. But once you turn
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: your back to the defense, you just kind of trust
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: the big boys upfront are gonna take care of you.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: So we're gonna go under center pretty sure, go you know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: turn around. You're gonna want to show them the ball.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: You're gonna want to show you know, both hands on
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: the ball, So that way to thinking, Okay, it's probably
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: gonna be a handoff. You're gonna extend it. You know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: as you get closer to the running back, you're gonna
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: try to pull and like kind of put it in
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: your hip pocket. That way, it's still you know, the
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: defense can't see it, but they're just seeing an empty
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: hand and the running back, you know, does a good
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: job of covering it up. Play Fagan and then you
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: just kind of naturally just kind of drift drift and
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: then just set up and you know, hopefully it's there.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: If not, you're gonna find a way to make a
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: play now.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I think one of the big things on this play too,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: is you gotta do a little bit of acting. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: you got to do a little bit of acting right.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: There, maybe show the eyes up.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, then all of a sudden, oh no, I
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: got the ball to Yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: So right here.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: All week we had you know, this play we had
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: talked about. It's a true option read. You know, we
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: want to get it on the edge, but there's a
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: chance that we could pull it and hit it up inside.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: We kind of got a good feeling, you know, their
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: ends had been playing it upfield pretty much all all day.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: And also they were just a little bit, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: weaker back here as far as you know, personnel goes
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: and just the numbers that they had backside and stuff
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: We gotten empty a couple of times, and they had
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: done a really good job out of empty.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And here we are close to the red zone.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: It's a great opportunity where we always like to run
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Brendan because we feel like he's you know, he's got
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: a nose for getting the ball in the end zone.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: You know, we're second along right here. Let's spread them out,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: go to an empty look Spence, you know, bring some
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: motion in where he's got a two way play where
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: he can hand the ball off and or run it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And if you do run this ball right here, you
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: know it's gonna be one on one with the safety.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, my mindsetting one on one situation is
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: is usually you know, I'm gonna find a way to
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: make you miss. People don't realize I'm I got a
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: little bit of shiftiness to my game, able to make
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: you miss multiple different different ways. Obviously, if it's in
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: a big crowd of people, I'm I'm not afraid to
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: lower my shoulder and try to get a couple exe
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: of yards. But I've also shown the past couple weeks
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: I'm also not afraid to slide down nowadays.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: So as I get older, i get a little wiser, and.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm not afraid to protect myself, but definitely
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: not afraid to go get a first down or a
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: touchdown for sure either.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: What's your mentality when you know, when we get close
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to the red zone, close to the end zone.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: If I'm able to run, we got an extra hat
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: in the in the run game, and you know we
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: can block it up. We got more numbers uh that way,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: And obviously our running backs probably aren't huge fans of
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: of me getting as many Russian touchdowns as I do.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: But you know, really we just kind of unselfish team
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: that is willing to go out there and do whatever
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: it takes to win.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: So you do give them a fair warning, right, you
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: do tell them, Hey, listen, if you guys want to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: score touchdowns, you better do it from far out because
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: we get in the red zone.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: You know my number is probably gonna get called. Yeah,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: absolutely so, So you give them warning.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I tell them, I say, especially like you know, right
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: inside of here. Oh yeah, that five yard line.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: It's time.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: We'll tell you. I said, don't be upset with me. Boys,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: you can tackle it inside the five.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It's I ain't mad at you, man, I keep putting
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: it in the en zone.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's a good one right here.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Now, Yeah, this is a This is a funny one too,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: because you know, all we can prou we're talking. So
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: we'll just go in and posit here. You know, Tawee's
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: gonna be straight to the flat. And it was either
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: you know, he's gonna take taoue or you're gonna run
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: into the end zone. He's either gonna take He's either
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: gonna take you or he's gonna take him.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Didn't quite work out this way, No.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: It didn't work out this way.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: The d En did a really good job of seeing
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: it and then you know we had literally not rerapped
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: this one time all week. It was either you know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: run it or dish it to Taowe. And then you know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Zay did a good job of just you know, keeping
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: it coming, and you know, we found a way to
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: get it to him and he ended up scoring.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: But the d N played it, made a great play,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and I'm thinking at this point right here, I'm saying,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: just run it and try to get the first down.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: What's going through your head at that moment right there
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: where it's you and one on one with that guy?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Did you even realize that Isaiah's coming across?
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Yes, so, as I was, you know, kind of like
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: you just said, it's gonna be one on one, you
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: got to find a way to make a miss. And
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: he was playing me really well. He wasn't really biting
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: on anything. I tried to get him a little heasy,
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: and he played well all game. But you know, he
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: played this one really well as well. And I kind
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: of just as I was trying to make a miss,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: saw z A coming and he kept working with me,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: and then it was kind of just how am I
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: going to get this ball to him.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Was really all I was going through my head.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Gave him a little baseball background right here, you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: a little side arm had to drop the slot on him.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: You know, that's a drill. You know. Coach Thomas jokes
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: about working in practice.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: You know, he doesn't like it all the time, whenever
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: we're going off platform and stuff. But you know, showed
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: her right here that you might have to do in
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: the game every now and then. Yeah, all these fans
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: were losing their mind down here. You can see Coach sat. Oh, yeah,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: that was probably the most excited I've ever seen you.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Actually, I was excited. You were pretty excited.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Don't know if I've really seen that, like that close
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: live action of my throw like that. I'm literally right
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: down the sideline watching this, thinking, my gosh, what are you?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think I was yelling are you kidding me?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Right? That's what I'm saying right here?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: What to play as a one of a great individual efforts?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Just the third down?
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is the this is the third in
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: forever and pretty much it was if they go cover two,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: you know, we are not thinking Jeff Caldwell and what
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: they do.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: They end up playing to.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Playing a little cover too, And this was kind of
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: just one of those things. You know, Jeff, we're thinking
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: a little stutter out and just run down the sideline.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: But he did a really good job of you know, stuttering,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: kind of feeling the dB jump outside and then just
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: kind of kind of working in here. And this is
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: another one of those moments I think that you know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: just out there just playing football. Honestly, definitely not what
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I was coached to do. No, definitely not thrilled.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I think the balls in the air, and I'm saying,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: what is he doing? The balls in the air.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: What people, you know, don't realize all the time is
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: coaches obviously don't don't coach you through certain situations because
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: there's no way that you can cover at all.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: You're not thinking, you know, work throughout the week.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Third and sixteen, throw a threaded needle ball into Jeff
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Caldwell on a look against the demens that you shouldn't
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: throw it into. But you know, I always tell people
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: usually don't ask too many questions. If it works out,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: they usually that give you hard time if it doesn't,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: But you know, if it does, it's if it helps
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: you win the game. Usually they're they're pretty happy about it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: So so this play right here was another one. Honestly,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I gotta let it roll.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Because this, yeah, I remember this one.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Now we're trying to get the ball to prior right
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: here in space on a little swing that didn't work,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: but you know, we're trying to to regardless get nineteen
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: to just move over a little bit or at least
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: just stay right there to keep them out of the play.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: And so you can kind of see my eyes kind
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: of looking right at him trying to hold them. And
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: then you know, we keep talking about these new whiteouts
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: that have made a ton of.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Plays for us this year.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: It comes down to it in the game whenever, sometimes
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: you're gonna have one on one and and you just
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: got to trust your guy to go make a play
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: for you.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: And that's that's really what this was.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Obviously, this play right here is something that we didn't
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: dial up to happen this way, but Brendan, you made
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: it happen with an incredible throw, a throw that I
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: think is one of the most difficult throws to possibly make.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: There was absolutely zero room for error on this throw.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: It was such a great throw that I think we'd
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: love to be able to see see this throw again,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: see if you can make it happen one more time.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Let's go see.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: We're gonna give you five attempts to see if you
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: can get that ball inside the net.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see what you got? Hey, how good are you feel?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: On scale one to ten right here?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Probably only a seven eight seven, eight, All right, I
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: think that's pretty good.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say six to seven and do like
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: the little hand motion.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, here we go. Let's shoot the persone
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: out and see what happens. All we need is one baby.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: That's all we need. We don't need, we don't need anymore.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: That's all we're talking about. That's it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: You see the other, You see the other, the other
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: four balls right here?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Was that? Is that as good?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's pretty good. It comes to the end
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: of the Bleacher Report. Field Study had a great time
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: looking at some plays and dissecting out how we do
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: things here and really, uh man, one shot for the recreation.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: One and done.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: You know, people and home are probably not gonna believe it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: You know, they're probably gonna think that we cut some
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: clips out and stuff.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It was true. It was true. One and done.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: The one take incredible, No, incredible job, you know obviously
