  Speaker 1: Back on the Yukon Football Coaches Show with Jim Moraw
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Mike Crispino. It's Ball State at the Rent this weekend.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: On Saturday, three thirty kicks and that means twelve thirty
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: we'll get the show of rolling at the Clota Farms
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: doghouse that's outside the gate. And if you get to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the games and your tailgateing, come on over and watch
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: when the team comes in. Because when they come in,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the band is rocking and rolling, the cheerleaders. It's a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: great entrance to that stadium. So that's part of the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: pageantry of being at the stadium for Yukon football game.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: So it's Ball State Jim.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: This team one and two, but they had a rugged
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: schedule early at Purdue got shut out thirty one to nothing.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: At Auburn got beat forty two three. They got back
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: on track a little but beating New Hampshire. When you
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: see a team like this is a MAC team, You're
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: going to face two of them back to back here,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: You're going to Buffalo the following week. What is the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: expectations you You've seen them one time a few years back,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: but this is a team that I'm sure is looking
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to make a statement by coming here to the rent
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and doing some damage.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I can't worry about their motivation. I can worry about
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: their talent and their scheme and all that.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I'm impressed with them.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: You mentioned, you know they played a big team, big
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: ten team and an SEC team, so they're battle tested.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: You know, we played them a couple of years ago
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: as a different staff, a different team. You know, we've
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: got three games of film on on their offense really
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: working together. Their defense was the same coordinators they had
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: last year who've been with the head coach previously, so
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: you know, we have things that we can look at.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: You know, they when you come off of a game
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: like we had defensively the other day, and a quarterback
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: like the kid from from Delaware Menische I think I
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: say his name right in the success he had And
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: then you go and you see this kyok Kelly who's
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: a runner. You go, damn, you know, here we go.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: But they're a town of team.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I like their running back Quay Ashley, who's also the returner.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: He's a good player. Like I mentioned, they moved their
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: quarterback from defense to offense they believe last year, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: he's a guy who's very very athletic, very strong. He's
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: played some receiver, he's played some running back. Now he's
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: playing quarterback. You know, they're they're solid up front, they're
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: big upfront. Shoot their starting left tackle six ten three eighteen.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: You know, so they're they're a big football team offensive
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: and then defensively, you know, they're very very sound. We
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: know a couple of players, you know, Alfred Chair who
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: was with us last year as they're leading tackler. Nate
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Warrez who was with US two years ago, is they're
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: leading sacker with three and a half sacks. You know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: those guys are having a lot of success. But they
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: play they crowded the line of scrimmage. They're physical, they
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: play square, they use their hands, they get off blocks,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: they tackle, they run. You know, it's it's I guess
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: if you know what people would think of the MAC.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: You know, this is a microcosmo.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, big, tough, physical, strong, midwestern, hard playing football team.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely respect every opponent. Nine tackles for losses, seven
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: breakups in the secondary, got my attention.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Their sacks got mine. See they're one of the time, yeah,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: right in the country. You know, Like I mean, they
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: can rush the passers. So we've got to, you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: we got to stay out of situations where Nate and
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: they got this kid.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: He wears number thirty one.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Dwan eccols and guys can create some some havoc on
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: the edge there.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And their secondary. You're getting back to them for a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: second with all those breakups. Jamaald Harmon is one guy.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: His dad played football at Ball State. He wears number ten.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: He's back there. Jackson Wigold is an academic All Mac
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: guy for the last couple of years. He's more of
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a linebacker type number eighteen. But they're very active in
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the in the seams of defensively in the secondary. It
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: looks like to me in the little I've seen of them.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: So you know, Joe Finiano, put yourself on his shoes
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: for a second. Is he going to be looking a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: little bit differently at the way this team plays past
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: defense back there?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you know what, Mike, So.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: You know you love a quarterback that's that's a good
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: decision maker, and part of being a good decision makers
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: recognizing coverage quickly and then making the right decision in
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: terms of where you want.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: To go with the football. And fortunately for us. We've
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: got a guy that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: He's done it a lot, and he is a good
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: decision maker and he is smart, and you know they're
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: going to have coverage variations that he's going to have
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: to try to decipher very very quickly. They do a
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: really nice job of disguising their stuff. They'll make you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: things all look the same and play different different concepts
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: out of it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: So it's not easy. So we you know, we've just
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: got to We've got to.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a it's a it's a cliche as
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: old as time, but we got to take what the
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: defense gives us in the passing game, you know, because
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: there's a strength and there's a weakness in every coverage
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: that anyone plays, that we play or anyone else plays,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and you've got to try to as quickly as you
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: can find out where you know, where the maybe the
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: weaker part of that coverage concept is and and try
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: to attack it. And that's not that's not just against
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: ball State, that's against anybody.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So you know, we've got a quarterback that's.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Got good vision, he's got some experience, and you just
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: count on him to make the right decisions.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: You know. The Huskies.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: We talked about the receiving core of being a talented
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and a great variety of the tight ends. We haven't
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: talked about the running backs catching the ball out of
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the backfield as well. For Joe Finnano, that's a nice
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: checkdown option to have. I would think in a game
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: like this, you got Victor Rose who can catch the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: ball and get your yardage. Obviously, Cam Edwards, You've got
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: two guys that are very talent in that category. I'm
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: guessing you might see a little bit of that maybe
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: coming up on Saturday.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: You know, we try to involve our our running backs
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: in our past game as obviously, as you said, as
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: checkdown guys, but also as you know, guys that are
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: primary you know, you saw against Syracuse on the third
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and one, Cam get down the sideline for a first down.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: You know, so you've seen Mel, you know, get some
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: things done.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: We have a lot of confidence in our guys coming
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: out of the backfield and catching the ball, whether it's
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: in a designed route or in a checkdown category.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Like you said, so if.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: They're going to take things away deep or you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: take our outside guys away, when that's where tight ends
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: have to come into play.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And that's where our backs have to come into play.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: And you can't be afraid to check it down and
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: get it to Cam or get it to Victor and
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: let them turn up and get the yards that they
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: can get.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: All right, a few final thoughts with Jim Moore coming up.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: In a moment, we take a time out. This is
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the Yukon Football Coaches Show on lear Field.
