  Speaker 1: Tune in Saturday evening. The Huskies will play on Tobacco
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Road as they visit the Duke Blue Devils at Wallace
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Wade Stadium in Durham. Our coverage begins at four point
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: thirty with a hard Uto Group countdown to kick off.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Bob Joyce on the scene Live, got to be a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: big game if Bob's on the road, followed by the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: game broadcast at six. Here along the Yukon Sports Network,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the Varsity Network app, and the Varsity Network dot Com.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: We're back with coach More and Jim. We're talking about
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Joe Finiano. But the offense, wow, I mean scoring at
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: will early on in that game, you really put Merrimack
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: on their heels. Every time you touch the ball, you
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: moved it quickly, and I mean quickly. There were a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: number of drives. Three touchdowns came in less than a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: minute and three others I believe less than two minutes.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: So it was quick strike offense.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, big plays, those are fun, you know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: they make it a little bit easier for you. We've
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: got some guys that can make some big plays. You
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: get them the ball out in space and they can
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: do some things with it.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: And we saw that on Saturday.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Now we've got to build on that, and you know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I feel confident these guys are going to keep working hard.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're playing a great defense this week. I
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: mean one of the you know, it's only been two games,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: but after two games, Duke is fifteenth in the country
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and total defense, they're only giving up eleven and a
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: half points a game. You know, they're twenty eighth and
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: rush defense twenty eighth, and pass defense tenth and third
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: down defense twentieth in red zone defense. So you know
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you're talking about a defense this week. It's going to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: pose a lot of problems. You know, they're going to
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: be very challenging, and we'll see how we do. You know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: hopefully we can continue to break off some big plays.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: And big plays are a function of everybody doing their
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: job and doing it well and doing it through the whistle.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: You think about Cam's run down the sideline out the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: little catch in the flat. If you watch Skyler Bell,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: he blocked the heck out of his guy. I mean
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: he got contact on his guy twice in really significant
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: moments to help Cam get in the end zone. So
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that's what you have to have for a big play.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: To happen. Is everybody just committing to doing their job
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: at a high level as long as it takes playing
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: through the echo of the whistle.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: And you got to have a number of players and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it looks like you do on the offensive side, who
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: can make break you know, breakaway type plays. I mean
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: even a TJ. Sheffield to wide out who came to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the university this year in his punk return game seven
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: times for seventy six yards. I think you know in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the game of football, and you can disagree with me
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: if you want, it's how much pressure can you put
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: on the other team in all your phases? Can you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: pressure them on defense? Can you put the heat on
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: them when you have the ball? Can you return something?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Can you get down and make a turnover? All that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: stuff adds up.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: That's the key is putting pressure on your opponent constantly,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you know, every snap, making them feel pressure. And that
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean you're blitzing all the time or throwing deep
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: all the time, but it's the tempo at which you
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: snap the ball on offense and get back to the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: line of scrimmage and go again. It's the pressure you
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: put on them by threatening them down the field with
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: deep routes. It's the pressure they feel on offense when
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you're coming off the line with violence. On defense, it's
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you know, tight coverage. It's the pressure that they feel
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: on kickoff when you know if the ball is being returned.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: You know, they only got out to the eighteen point
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: four yard line average on their returns, which is really excellent.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: You want to feel that pressure. Boy, you know, they're
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: all over the place. This field on defense got really
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: really big, and on offense, I'm talking about the opponent's
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: offense got really really small, you know. And same time,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you got to be able to react to pressure. And
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: that's one thing that we practice constantly is putting our
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: guys in really really, really really high pressure situations so
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: they know how to react. And they've done a nice
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: job of that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to be able to handle it. And
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: as you said, quoting those numbers, Dukes a top thirty
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: defense in the country already in two weeks. Andy Diaz
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: is renowned as a defensive guy like yourself. So I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: want to talk specifically about some of these skill guys.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, Mel Brown to me fourteen carries the other day,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: eighty seven yards. He just looks like a guy that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: might just break something every time he touches the ball.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got birth, he's sudden, he's got really good
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: change of direction. Need to help him learn to trust
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: where the hole is going to be a little bit.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: This is a little bit different scheme that he's been in,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: this outside zone stuff, and you've got to be able
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: to run through the smoke at times and just trust
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that the hole is going to open up. He's getting
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: much better at that. But I know this, when he's
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: got the ball in his hands, I always feel like
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: something good can happen. And he's a tough kid. He's
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a team guy. Been a really great addition to this
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: to this team.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he ran the ball like except for eighty seven
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to Row Robinson ninety six yards. You had Victor rose
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: for three carries and he got a ball in the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: end zone for it. Victor unable to play this week,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I understand, as you were talking about on your press
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: conference Tuesday.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Victor. Victor broke his finger and practiced last week.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: His pinky. It's been determined he needs this needs surgery
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: on it. It's a pretty pretty significant little break and
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I know it sounds silly and it's pinky, but it's significant.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: He uh, they wanted to do the surgery on Friday.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Vick was adamant that he planned the game. They were
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: able to put a protective protection over it, they were
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: able to harness it to his ring finger, put a
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: glove on it, and he went out and played and you'd.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Never known that he had a broken finger.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: But it is something that that absolutely needs surgical repair.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: So he's gonna have that done tomorrow. Should only miss
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: one game. This should be the only game he misses that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: They'll be able to pad that thing up, put a screw,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: put a plate, put some wires, whatever they have to do.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: It's his pinky.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: They'll put the uh, you know, the molding over it
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to help him and he'll he'll be back playing.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I believe you know the FAU game.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good to have depth, that's for sure. You
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: talked about it when the season began a little bit
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: later on, Bob Joyce to be talking to a couple
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: of the players, Cam Chadwick and Alex Huntig, and I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: want to talk to you coach about the tight ends
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: because they got involved. We're going to do that in
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: just a moment. Quick time out We're on the Yukon
