  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Yukon Football Coaches Show.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Jim Mora with US Huskies four and two noon kick
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: at Boston College pregame ten thirty.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Bob Joyce will be on the play by play.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I got a wedding to go to, coach, Sorry, I'm
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: going to miss this one, but I will be checking
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: my phone for updates and hoping the Huskies get the
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: five and two. Let's talk about this team that you're facing,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: BC's and acc team. He got a really good coach,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I think Bill O'Brien. I followed his career, you know,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: in the pros with Houston and then of course with
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Penn State when he took the job after Joe Paterno
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: stepped down. I mean, they're one in five. They had
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: a couple losses by just six points. They've had a
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: couple of rough weeks against Pitt and Clemson. I mean,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: this is a this is a big game for Yukon obviously,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: but it's also a huge game for Boston College.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I can't speak to what it means
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: to them. I can only speak to what it means
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: to us and what we see on film, and what
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: we see is what you see a very well coached
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: football team that plays hard. If you didn't look at
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: the scoreboard, you would never know that they'd lost some
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: of those games just by the way they play. They're
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: physical upfront on both sides of the ball. They're athletic
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: at the skill positions. They've got really good specialists, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: they play hard, they play physical, they're talented. So and
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: as you said, and I I'll say it again, you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: with coach Obryant and that staff, they're outstanding staff.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: So I can't get into their head.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: My job is to try to do the best I
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: can to get our team ready to go up there
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: and play as well as we can and do all
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: we can to try to, you know, find a way
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to win.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the things that statistically, looking at their team,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I was kind of surprised because BC over the years
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: has had always had good running attacks and offensive lines.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: They're only rushing for eighty five yards a game. And
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: they pass well though, too, eighty four on average yards
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: a game. So I mean, when teams come into games
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and they haven't been running the ball well, I always
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: feel like they're going to try to run the ball
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: in this game because they're going to prove. If they
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: can do that, they can take control of the football game.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I mean running the ball is key, and they can
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: run the ball. So I think sometimes statistics can be misleading.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: You know, when you're playing from behind, which they've had
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: to play from behind it in a couple of games, you
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: know you're more inclined to throw the football.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: But I think they're balanced. You know.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I think they're when you watch the film and you
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: take the stats out of it, you see a team
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: that runs the ball really well. You see a team
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: that throws the ball effectively. You see a quarterback who's
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: a good decision make. You see a big, physical offensive line.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Like I said earlier that I really like their running back.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I think he's a damn good player. So, you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: establishing the run is I think in any football game
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: is typically a priority. Because you said it, you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: you're able to kind of manage the clock and play
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: keep away and you know, wear out your opponents. So
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I would imagine it come in, they're going to come
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: in and try to try to knock it down our throat.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Turbo Richard is the guy you were talking about.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: They're running back and not all only does he run
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it well eighty two times, four seventeen five yards of carry,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: five touchdowns. He also catches the ball, which always gets
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: my attention. He's got eighteen catches coming out of the backfield.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So to me, this guy is somebody you really got
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: to keep your eyes on big time.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, and I think to me, that's
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: a sign of his athleticism and their confidence in him,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: you know, because a lot of those are either screens
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: or checkdowns, but they want to get him the ball
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: in open space because he is a playmaker. But you know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the name is what you know, Turbo. You know, Oh
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: my gosh, Turbo. That's a little scary, you know. Then
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: you turn on the film and you watch him run,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: you said, boy, this guy's really really talented. So yeah,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: they're going to use him in a lot of different ways,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and they're going to get him the ball a lot
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: of different ways, and we've just got to make sure
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: that we're executing our responsibility consistently and playing hard and fast.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Their quarterback, Dylan Lonergan sixty seven percent completion rate. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: don't know, when you look at other quarterbacks, do you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: how important is that number one he's thrown for nine touchdowns,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: so obviously knows how to get the ball into the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: end zone.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: It's important.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you look at a guy's accuracy
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and when you're completing it at sixty seven percent, that
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: that demonstrates accuracy and I think a good decision maker
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: as well. And then he doesn't know how to find
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: the end zone. And he's had some really good games
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: throwing the football. So you know, this is an offense
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: that is as I said, you might look at him
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: statistically and think that they're not balanced, but they are balanced.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: You know, they run the ball well, they throw the
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: ball well. There's nothing that they do not do well.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: So we have our hands full and we're going to
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: have to really play well in order to you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: keep ourselves in this game.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, on the defensive side of the ball, Jim, they
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: got a number eighty eight Sadarius Hutchins has six tackles
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: for losses. When you see a player like that who's
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: seemingly into the other team's backfield and making plays, that's
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: something I got to believe gets your attention. And certainly,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: you know Gordon Samus, an offensive line coach, gets that.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And you know, and obviously offensive coordinator. But you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: sometimes one guy like that has.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: A great game and he could really disrupt things.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they've got some disruptive players.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: And you know, anyone that's able to get into your
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: backfield and get tackles for loss and put you behind
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: the sticks, that you've got to pay attention to. And
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: they've got some guys who can do that, you know.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: And they play aggressive on defense. They're gonna bring five,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: they're gonna bring six in their pass rush. They're gonna
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: play their run aggressively. They're gonna play physical, tough man
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: to man coverage. You know, they're gonna play some matchup zones.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: So when you watch them play defensively, they're impressive. They're impressive,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: they're athletic, they're big, and I like their scheme, you know.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I like the way they play man to man. I
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: like the way they match up. There's some of their zones,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: zone coverages. They don't give you a lot of room
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: to work the ball and in the past game, and.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: They rally to the run very very well. Their gap sound.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, KP Price number two leads them in tackles with
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: fifty one. I know you appreciate other teams defensive players
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: even though you got to play against them. But a
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: guy like him, I mean, he just seems to be
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: everywhere on the field when you watch them.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean, you're right, I do. I do
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: appreciate those guys.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: That doesn't mean I want to see them on Saturdays,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: but I appreciate them, you know. And they've got they've
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: got some really good football players that you know, if
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: you're a fan, you you like watching them play. Like
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I said, I don't necessarily want to have to go
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: against them, although we all relish that challenge that they present.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Right, all right, Jim more Willis, we'll wrap up with
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: him in a moment.
