  Speaker 1: Is konon Wake Forest twelve noon Saturday. Get there early.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I think the tailgates are featuring breakfast, maybe some poached eggs.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I've seen some poached eggs out there. It's pretty good
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: in the bacon and the beef and all that. That's
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: that's kicking off at twelve noon, but our coverage begins
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: at nine am from Cloda Farm's doghouse. Bob Joyce will
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: be there myself, Wayne Norman, Ben Darnell. Network pregame ten
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: thirty kickoff twelve oh two. It looks like yukon Sports
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Network and the Varsity Network app and Varsitynetwork dot com.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: We're back with the Jim Mora coach. Skyler Bell made
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: a catch on the sideline right and kind of front
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of where you were last week two weeks ago, and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: it got his leg bent back look to be an
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: ankle issue. Has he recovered and how close is he
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to being able to play this coming weekend? Do you think?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, I would anticipate that he plays, and so
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: unless he has a setback, I mean he's he's come
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: along well, so you know, we'll see where he is
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: on game day. But I don't anticipate him doing anything
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: other than you know, getting out there and competing like crazy.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: You've got the good fortune of having Joe Finnano be
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: able to step in and play the QB position very well.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Nick Evers missed last week, He's had a couple of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: head issues. Where's he at. Do you have a sense
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: that he will be available against wake Forest?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Kind of the same as Skuyler. You know, as long
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: as things go well the rest of the week, we
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: should be able to get him out there a little bit.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: But as you mentioned, if he can't play, you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: we've got all the confidence in the world in Joe.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Joe's you know, one of the leading passers in the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: country in terms of passing efficiency. So uh, if he's
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: in there, we just keep rolling.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: One final note on Temple because that game is still
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: sticking in my mind. How the Owls are on your
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: goal line with two chances to win the game, but
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: didn't win the game and instead you end up with
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the Jordan Wright going ninety six yards or whatever it
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: was for a touchdown. As you viewed those last two plays,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: do you feel helpless? Sometimes I look at it. I'm different.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Obviously I'm not on your sideline, but it's got to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: be a tough spot for the coach. You're like, they
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: need a half yard, we got to make a stop.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: No, you never feel hopeless or helpless. I mean that
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: if the minute I start feeling helpless, I'm done. I
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: mean you're fighting. I mean you're fighting. You're fighting to
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: get the right call, You're fighting to project your energy
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: onto the field of the players. You're fighting with them
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and for them, and you're you know, I never, honestly,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I didn't have a feeling of despair at any point
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: in that game, even when they had a fourth and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: whatever whatever that you are. I don't know if you
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: call a yard line the inch line. I just had
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: a feeling that we were going to come through, that
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: someone's going to make a play and somebody did you know. So, Uh,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I'm usually a pretty positive minded guy during games. That
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean I'm not concerned. I'm not unrealistic about what's
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: happening during the game, But there was something inside of
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: me that day that just said, I think we're gonna
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: someone's gonna something's gonna do something special here, and and uh,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you know, whether they fumbled the ball or we cause
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to fumble whatever, it worked out.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, That's how good seasons are built when you win
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: one like that. Let's turn our attention to wake Forest
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Jim more with us. Uh, they got a quarterback, that's uh,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: he's been around Boys State guy went to La Tech
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: before that. I was looking at Hank Bachmeer's high school
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: career for a second here. One hundred and fifty six
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: touchdowns he threw for in high school and thirty interceptions.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: But I mean, that's pretty impressive. This guy's been around,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: he's QB and Wake Forest. What what are the Huskies
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: facing here this weekend with him?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm very familiar with Hank. Recruited him when I
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: was at UCLA. He was from Marietta, California, plays in
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: a really good football league, really good football, was very successful.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I left before he made any of his decisions, but
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: did get a chance to meet him when he was young.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Got a picture of he and I together actually from
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: when he was I think either sophomore or junior in
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: high school. So very familiar with Hank. I don't know
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: him very well. I got a chance to do a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: game at ESPN when he was at Boise State, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: once again, very impressed with him. And he's played a
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: lot of football. He has a lot of experience. He's
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: been very successful. He's very competitive, he's incredibly intelligent. He's
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a great decision maker. You know, he doesn't ever shun responsibility.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: You saw that last week after the Clemson game, the
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: way that he he entered his press conference and you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: put in on himself. He's a great leader. I think
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: he's one hell of a player. I have a ton
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: of respect for him. I have for years and years
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and years.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Well, he's gonna be a guy that will be a problem,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: that's for sure on the weekend. And you mentioned this
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in your press conference Tuesday as well. They did not
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: have a couple of tight ends available in their previous game,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: but I think they're going.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: To be back.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: How does that impact what Bachmeyer is able to do
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: offensively with wake Forest.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I think it just gives them more flexibility as an
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: offense to get into different personnel groups and different formations
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: they can run or throw out of their twelve group
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: or if they want to go thirteen and use three
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: tight ends. So you know, you just have to you
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: have to be prepared for multiple personnel groups, multiple formation shifts, motions, plays,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: play action, maybe a heavier dose of the run game.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: They're a good running team as it is, so it's
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: just makes it a little bit more complicated as a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: defense to to predict what they may do offensively going
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: into the game, and then once the game starts and
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: we just have to adjust as they decide what they
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: want to do offensively.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're they're it's a modified RPO kind of a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: thing that they do in the backfield. Someone from ACC
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: was telling me about this. I really haven't seen Wake
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: much this year. Tell me about that. They really hide
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the ball. Well, it's kind of hard to decide who's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: got the ball back there? Is that That what I'm
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: getting to.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not in every play type of deal,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: but it's a kind of a mesh thing where the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: hank will put the ball on the in the belly
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: of the back and kind of riding slowly up to
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage, reading what's happening, and he can
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: either give it or he can pull it, and then
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: they have a throw involved in it. So it demands
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of discipline, of demands patience, but you can't
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: get on your heels. You still got to be playing aggressive.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's not easy to defend. They have
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the ability if they want to kind of slow the rush,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the pass rush down a little bit. They have the
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: ability to bring linebackers up out of coverage. If you're
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: playing a lot of zone, it is unique. You don't
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: see it a lot, and it's not easy to prepare for.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: All Right, Jim Morris with us. We'll have another segment
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: with him and we meet with a couple of the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: players down on Gordyne Connor Studtz a little bit later on.
• 7:21
