  Speaker 1: Back with Jim more of the Yukon Football Coaches Show
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: at Mike Chrispino. One other guy I wanted to mention
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: from Delaware. He's a senior safety. Where's number two? My
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: son Pollard? I think that way. That's the way he
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: pronounces his first name. He had a big day against
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Colorado out there in Boulder, six tackles. He's Norwalk, Connecticut guy.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: You know, kind of those guys Jim, that you you
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: have on your roster too.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: He kind of.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Made the team as a special teams guy, right, He
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: blocked kicks, he kicked returns, and now he's playing safety
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: as a defensive guy. So there's a lot of the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: talented players on these rosters.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I have a lot of respect for guys like that.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: You know, they did the hard way and that shows
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: their resilience and toughness. And he's a really good player,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Connecticut kid. So this game, you know, I think every
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: game probably means a lot to a guy like that,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: but maybe there's added significance. I don't know. I want
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: to I don't want to speculate what's in his head,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: but you know, I love the players that they had
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: to fight, man, they had to they had to, they
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: had to go through some stuff to get or they are.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: You know, it shows shows the type of end that
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: they are. So you know, you always like, you always
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: like competing against guys like that, you know, because there's
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: just there's a respect factor that makes it more important
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: when you, you know, or if you can have some
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: success because you know that you know, a guy like
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: that's going to be ready to roll.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: A couple more minutes with the Jim Moore, the head
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: football coach. You mentioned Delaware last segment. We were talking
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: about their history. FCS school a lot of years, won
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of games. Every time you talk about FCS football,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you're talking about Delaware and a few others making the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: transition to FBS. What are they going through do you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: think in terms of elevating themselves talent wise and what
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: they're trying to accomplish.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. I mean, I haven't had to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: do that, but I think whatever they're doing, it's working,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean, you see it on film. You
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: see the way they play. You know, I can't even
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: speculate as to what it's like for them because I
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: don't know, but I know what I see and I
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: see Like I said, a discipline, tough, hard nosed football
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: team with a lot of talented players is very well coached.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: They are going to be jacked up right at home.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just want us to be jacked
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: up on the right. I can't. I don't spend a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: whole lot of time worrying about our opponent's psyche. That's
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: their coach's responsibility and their responsibility. I think any time
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I spend worrying about them is time taking away from
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: worrying about you know, and not worry is not the
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: right word, but concentrating and focusing on what we need
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to do. And that's the most important thing I can do.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: The energy you will need to win on the road
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: this week, how would you rate it? Is it going
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to have to be better than it was a Syracuse
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: or yep?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Do you think it has to be notably better? It
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: has to be. It has to be a giant uptick,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: and it has to be that way every week, Homer,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: on the road. Every week, you have to get better
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: every week. You have to play better every week. You
