  com, Yukon Huskies Football, football, tailgating and Fun. We're with Jim
• 0:20
  Mora as we are every Tuesday. I'm Mike Crispino and the Huskies getting ready
• 0:25
  to go to Houston take on Rice. This team and it's three and two.
• 0:28
  They're in the AAC Now Rice and they're three and oh at home.
• 0:33
  Coach, you go into a game with a team that's had success at home,
• 0:37
  obviously, what's one of the first things you gotta do to get them
• 0:42
  on their heels a little bit and take control of this game. Run the
• 0:46
  football and played good special teams and play salty defense. There's three things for
• 0:51
  you when you go on the road. They say you got to pack your
• 0:53
  offense, you gotta pack your special teams in your defense. And then I
• 0:57
  always think running football when you're on the road is really important. So you
• 1:03
  can't you can't give up. We just talked about him. You can't give
• 1:06
  up big plays. You know, you got to make him earning their yards.
• 1:10
  Yeah, last I mean last week, Husk he's running for two hundred
• 1:12
  and eighteen. I mean, that's that's the kind of rushing game. If
• 1:17
  you can get that on a weekend, week out, basis, boy,
• 1:22
  that would be that would be a nice boost for the team. The work
• 1:26
  of Cam Edwards just started playing running back here at Yukon thirteen. Carries seventy
• 1:32
  four yards in that game. What do you like about him? He looks
• 1:36
  like he can find holes when there aren't holes there. That's what I see
• 1:38
  when I'm sitting up in the booth. Yeah, he runs hard. He
• 1:42
  runs hard, and he he falls forward and you're right, he's patient.
• 1:49
  He's patient and he finds holes. That's exactly what happens. And another guy
• 1:56
  that you wouldn't consider a running back, he does wear a number nine.
• 2:00
  He's something Gilannie Stafford continues to be. I don't know what you call him.
• 2:05
  Man, he's like he's a bull in a china shop on the offensive
• 2:09
  side when you give him the football. I mean, it's exciting stuff.
• 2:13
  And coach, he caught a pass. I've seen him do it in practice.
• 2:16
  He's a legit athlete on both sides of the ball. Yeah, he's
• 2:22
  pretty talented. You know, he played running back in high school. I
• 2:23
  have tape of him playing running back and he's pretty good. He just played
• 2:29
  a really dynamic game on both sides of the ball. He was all over
• 2:31
  the field on defense, he made big plays on offense. He had this
• 2:36
  this, uh incredible intensity about him. And you know on that last play
• 2:40
  that he that he found a way into the end zone. You know,
• 2:45
  Nick told him in the huddle, hey brother, you know we're giving it
• 2:46
  to you and I know you're gonna get in and he says, I will
• 2:50
  not be denied, and he wasn't denied. And then to see him,
• 2:53
  you know, roll, move out into the flat and catch the ball like
• 2:55
  it was just second nature. You know. I think that at this level
• 3:00
  you have guys that are multidimensional and it's important to try to use them.
• 3:06
  You know, it's typically easier for a defensive player to move over and play
• 3:09
  in an offensive package than it is for an offensive player to come over and
• 3:14
  play defense because you can do specific things with him, like we're doing with
• 3:17
  Jilani. But you know, we're going to try to use all our players
• 3:21
  in ways that benefit this football team, you know, based upon their skill
• 3:25
  set. Tell me, I don't. I didn't get to see the replay,
• 3:30
  but I think it was on the touchdown he leaped up into the into
• 3:36
  the pile, got stopped, ended up, ending back on his feet,
• 3:40
  and then he started again. I mean, that's a that's a tough athletic
• 3:45
  move to make for a guy three hundred and ten pounds. Yeah, he's
• 3:50
  like, you know, he he's got really good feet, and he's got
• 3:53
  really good balance, he's got really good change of direction. He's got a
• 3:55
  lowsen or gravity that when you're right he kind of in there and bounce back
• 4:00
  and kept his feeting and leapt in there and he just wasn't going to be
• 4:03
  denied. And you know, you'll see him make a lot of plays on
• 4:06
  defense that are that are athletic in nature, where he can put his foot
• 4:11
  in the ground and change direction quickly, and he has explosiveness to to to
• 4:15
  get a guy in a gap before the guy can get going. So it
• 4:17
  doesn't surprise me at all. I think he relishes the role, you know,
• 4:23
  I mean, you know, eventually you kind of run out of things.
• 4:26
  You can do. But until it gets stopped, you just keep doing
• 4:29
  it. I was gonna say, I mean, if you're the other,
• 4:32
  if you're a Rice and you're looking at the video and you're looking at the
• 4:35
  last few games and you're seeing this guy getting in the end zone and get
• 4:39
  your first downs, you've got to suddenly put him in the game plan,
• 4:43
  right, If you're the defensive cordiner, you've got to figure what are we
• 4:45
  gonna do about this guy? Yeah, but yes, you're right, and
• 4:49
  they'll have a plan for it, you know, and they'll they'll do it.
• 4:54
  Whoever we just played, did I try to move on and forget you
• 5:00
  touched? You touched it? I'm kidding. No, They'll they'll stack it
• 5:03
  up in the middle, you know, and they'll say, hey, we're
• 5:05
  not gonna let him. We're gonna we're gonna try to submarine your linement and
• 5:09
  get under him and stack it up, and someone's gonna go up and try
• 5:12
  to greet him. But you know, he's still two hundred ninety seven pounds
• 5:15
  and he's still compact, and he's still athletic, and he's still move people
• 5:17
  out. So uh yeah, it's it makes your plan, It makes your
• 5:23
  opponent plan, that's for sure. Yeah, and it opens some things up
• 5:28
  maybe. I mean, Nick Harrison that that little flip four yard touchdown pass,
• 5:32
  But you made it look easy there because everyone played the run and Harris
• 5:36
  just leaked out and no one, no one covered him. I mean that
• 5:40
  was beautiful. Yeah. That and then Gilani's reception, right, you know,
• 5:46
  everyone gets so geared up and locked in on the run and all of
• 5:49
  a sudden you drop a little play action pass on him and as you said,
• 5:53
  Nick gets a touchdown, Gilanni gets a whatever fifteen twenty yard game and
• 5:58
  a first down. I mean those are the things that when you have versaonal
• 6:01
  players that that really care and work out it and you can count on you
• 6:06
  can do those types of things. All Jam Morris with us. This is
• 6:11
  Yukon Football Coaches Show. Coming up a little later on, we'll be talking
• 6:15
  with defensive lineman Dalmont Gordine and the veteran wide receiver who we just talked about,
• 6:20
  Cam Ross. We continue on the Yukon Football Coaches Show from Learfield
