Speaker 2 (00:23):
Good evening and what an evening it's gonna be on
the Klondike Kates Blue Hen's Football Coaches Show, said by
First Dight Orthopedix. You're listening to ninety four to seven
WDSDFM and iHeartRadio on a Wednesday night. I'm Scott Klatskin
and I've been ready for this next hour since Saturday night.

(00:45):
huge highlight ro catches already this season and seventeen catches overall.

sack in overtime. Jack Hall will join us as well.
But first we start with the head coach of the
Delaware Blue Hens, Ryan Carty. Coach Carty welcome in.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Thanks for having me, Scott.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Absolutely we will. We'll add in the cheers in post
that that would have come if we were actually at
Klonde Kates because just an amazing effort on Saturday. What
a game, A game that will not be soon forgotten.
I've been excited to talk to you after the game.
You had said, I don't think I've been as proud

(01:27):
in my coaching career, certainly as a head coach. I
think we all left that stadium so proud. Describe maybe
your sentiments on Saturday and the sense of pride that
you had for your team win in that game.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah, Well, I mean just you know, in this profession,
there's so much reliant on, you know, getting guys to
believe in things and obviously believe in things and having
a you know, a good foundation of this is who
we are and trying to find an identity of a
team and a culture and and so when there's times

(01:59):
and there's games, and there's moments when you know, it
all kind of comes together and you can feel that,
you know, the things that happened on the field were
because of the work that was put in and the
belief that the student athletes had and the coaching and
the coaches had in the in the culture and the system.
You know, when all that stuff kind of comes to fruition,
you can feel it. And I felt like that was

(02:20):
one of those moments, one of those kinds of wins
that that really kind of sets the course for you know,
the season in a program, a culture, a foundation, and
kind of adds to the belief and solidifies the things
that that we preach and talk about.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
And uh, it was really fun to watch.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
It was fun to broadcast, that's for sure for for
this guy. And you know, people have asked me over
the years for my favorite broadcast. It's kinmon question for
a broadcaster, and I'd be able to name a few,
but nothing definitive, like that's the one. That's the answer.
But moving forward is that that ball game. It was
so much fun, had to blast so much to go over. Uh,
maybe we work our way backwards from the end because

(02:59):
you talk about finish, that's one of the pillars. And
Nick Mintakuci just tough as nails all game long. But
he finished it the way he started of rushing touchdown
three times in a row. I know there's options on
that play he calls his own number, so take us
down on the field kind of the call, the execution

(03:19):
and the emotion what he gets it.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, I think that, you know, obviously you have a
feel for stuff as the game goes on as what
are you doing well? What are you not doing well?
And I think that's the probably the one misconception of
play calling indoor of coaching. It's like, what's the game
going to be? Like, you know, what kind of game
is it going to be? And nobody really knows, you know,
until we get out there and try to feel the
flow of the game. And sometimes there's high scoring ones,

(03:42):
sometimes there's those scoring ones, and it's not going to
be the same every week, and what works is going
to be dictated on maybe some of the matchups, some
of the physicality of the game, some of the injuries
during the game, some of the tempo of the game.
You know, like at times I felt like we started
to wear them out toward the end, and certain things
were called differently because of that. And then obviously what

(04:02):
has been working throughout the game is something that's going
to kind of dictate what what continues to be called
in those crunch time situations. And so you also don't
want to overuse calls and make sure that you know,
it's not the only thing you do, because then they're
not going to work anymore. And so what happened towards
the end there was you know, we kind of started
to once we got into the you know that that

(04:22):
situation where we knew it is what we needed twenty
five yards, need to hold on the ball. We need
to just finish. You know, field goal would get us
a tie and in the second overtime, but we need
to make sure we finish. You know, we're going to
hang our head on what we do well then and
that's uh, you know, a couple of things in our
in our program that we know offensively that are gonna
uh that are going to gain us positive yards, that
are going to be safe football plays, that are going

(04:43):
to be putting the ball in the people's hands, that
that that need to be in space, and uh, you know,
obviously Nick did a great job with those run leads
toward the end. You know, sometimes those were given, sometimes
those were kept throughout the game, and Need did a
great job you know when when this number was called
at being physical and being tough and hitting it in
the right spot with the right body lean and pad

(05:04):
level and tempo.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
And what's the what's the emotion? I mean, he gets
in and just trying to I didn't see that by
that point.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
I was already jogging over to shake coach morris hands,
so I didn't see what was going on with the
you know, the tubby leap over there that.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
He was making.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
But it was it was something, yes, you know, I
you know, by the end of it, I don't know
if you guys even saw it that Nick could hardly
walk off the field.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
He was he had he was having trouble breathing.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
He was I think we had to take his pads
off in the middle of the field, We had to
get the doctors out there. And I think it was
so emotional that he didn't even know how to react
by the end of it. I think he was so
exhausted from celebrating and and the game that he played
and the amount of you know, hard runs that he
had throughout the game. I think it was, uh, he
gave everything he.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Had absolutely well well worth it in He's okay, now, yeah,
that's what matters as well. Let's talk about, though, how
you get there, because that's not a game winning touchdown
if the defense doesn't hold up. And now, and there's
over a thousand yards of offense, there's some things that
probably will talk about that can be tightened up defensively,
but they came through when it mattered, and that's a

(06:13):
third down sack in overtime by Jack Hall and Ethan Saunders,
two guys that you've talked about as just being kind
of pillars of this team, six year guys. And for
those two to make the playoff, thought that was really neat.
And then you go back to the end of the
fourth quarter, fourth and two, Hansen tries to reach out
and can't get enough, so you get a stop at
the end of the fourth to get the ball back.
You get a stop to set yourself up for a

(06:34):
game winning touchdown. Just the defense. There wasn't great defense
on both sides throughout sometimes because the offenses were shining,
but huge to end the game your defense.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah, I mean there's gonna be games like that, right,
I'm gonna again, flow of the game. We have to
figure out how to win the football game. Yeah, as
a team, and it doesn't matter who's gonna have you know,
there's gonna be gas where we're not gonna score a
lot of points, and we're gonna need those guys to
shut them out and or you know, hold them to
field goals or whatever it is. And I think the
big you know, the big word there is the one

(07:06):
you use on the front end and is our probably
most important core value is finished. And I think that's
what we did well as a defense and as a team.
And you know there's going to be things that you know,
don't go right throughout a game. How do we continue
to wipe those things clean? And that's when I say
that I'm proud of things like that was what I
was proud of. There's been times, even in my head
coaching tenure, right and then in coaching profession, when things

(07:28):
have gone wrong and we've let that snowball and affect
the next play, We've let it affect how we fit
our gap the next time. Maybe we're trying to do
too much now because this has happened last time, this happened,
as opposed to just going back to the basics and
trusting in each other, trusting and playing for each other
and with each other and together and understanding and believing
that if we don't get a stop right here, the
offense is going to go score and vice versa. If

(07:49):
we get a stop right here, the offense is going
to go score. Those are the things that we need
to do as a team in order to win football games.
And that's what made me proud is that I thought,
you know, when we needed to stop, we got it.
When we needed to score, we did, Like, those are
the things that make a good football team, and that's
kind of you know, it's always been my same answer
to the question of like, oh, you know, what does
balance look like for you on offense? When we need

(08:10):
to run the ball, we can run it, and when
we need to pass the ball, we can pass it.
That's what balance is. That's what a good offense looks like.
How many times can you run it? How many times
can you throw it? You know, those are things that
really are just dictated based on what we need that
day and what happens and what our matchups are and
who's playing for us and all those things. So you know,
I think the finish word is really what sticks out
for our defense on last Saturday.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
They absolutely did, coming up big time on big spots.
And let's talk also about your belief in your kicker.
Nate Reid, who made a forty three yard field goal
to force overtime. Now Nate missed on his first three
field goals to start the year forty seven yard field
goal against Delaware State, twenty eight yard or against Colorado,

(08:53):
and missed an earlier try from forty seven. I want
to ask you about the play call because it was
just it was because you believed in Nate Reed. Now
it's gonna be about a forty nine yard field goal
on second down and ten balls at the yukon thirty
two yard you could have passed it, try to pick
up fifteen yards and make it a thirty something yard
field goal for Nate Reid. But if it's incomplete, it's

(09:14):
forty nine. So you draw, you drop a run play
and Joe picks up six and now it's a forty
three yard field goal. And Joe needed all six of
those yards because the ball got over. But it did
get over. But just your mindset, I thought that was
just amazing that you trusted your kicker, you set up
Nate for a chance to force it do over time.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yeah, well, obviously, you know with the amount of time
that was left in one time out, you know we
weren't going to get into a situation most likely, or
we were going to be able to put the ball
on the end zone, you know, with the amount of
time we had left. And so it was really a
matter of, all right, how do we drain this clock
all the way down to make this the last one?
And then you know, I know, statistically speaking from reading
our you know, our analytics stuff every week that you know,

(09:57):
centering the ball, Matt is good, but taking yards is better.
And so like percentage wise, in college football, in particular
the NFL, these guys can kick from wherever it doesn't
see and their hashes don't matter either because they're tighter,
and so in college football, percentage wise, you go up
every yard, and so like if it's a thirty one

(10:19):
yard kick, the percentage has changed to thirty to twenty
nine to twenty eight, and so really gaining positive yards
is the most important thing. Now there's some other nuance
to that, though, you know, you have to make sure
that you know you're coaching those guys to have two
hands on the ball and make sure that there's absolute
paramount more than ever ball security, you know, even the
past before that, you know, you know, the conversation between

(10:41):
me and Nick, And the one sided conversation between me
and Nick through the headset is all about can't lose
yards here, can't have a bad you know, this is
all about ball security, positive yardage. If they give us
one ticket, if not, throw this thing out of bounds,
because we can't lose any yards there. Once we get
into field goal range, and the beauty of having a
guy like Nate is that there there is almost an

(11:01):
unlimited field goal range and he can kick it. And
so whether or not, you know, it goes in is
based on you know, a lot of factors in the
in the operation, but he has the leg for it.
And so once we got into the field goal range,
he was really just about trying to gain as much
as we could to set him up, you know. And
and obviously only had one time out left because you
know I had I'd used one earlier that you know,

(11:23):
wasn't maybe necessary, and and that's a that's on me.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
But we we got the w so it all worked out.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
In the end.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
And you talk about wiping things clean, I mean a
kicker can get in their head a little bit, they
miss a few, but yeah, it did not affect him.
And we go back to that word finish, and that's
what Nate Reid was able to do as a kicker
on this team. We're gonna go along this first segment
just because it's so much fun to talk about this
game and reflect on Yukon and the guy that we
just mentioned that had the run to set up Nate

(11:52):
was Joe Silver one hundred and seventy nine yards rushing,
two touchdowns. I think you shared that you joke with
him during the week that he was due for an
ex play how about seventy yards and he had six
big plays that's ten or more yards rushing the football.
He had six big plays, an eighteen yard touchdown, a
seventy yard touchdown. I mean he was doing and he

(12:13):
delivered it in a huge way.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, well, he certainly has that capability, and we saw that,
you know, in his career so far, and we hadn't
really seen it in the first two weeks. And so yeah,
we were busting his chops throughout the week, and I
kind of, you know, challenged him a little bit in
my own way of you know, we got a bust
one now, like at some point we got to make
those guys miss that are in the hole and get

(12:35):
us a little bit more yards so that we get
keep running the ball, you know, and and of course
knowing if you know Joe Andes, you do you know
the people out there, the audience out there. He is
harder on himself than I am on him, and than
anybody else is on him. And he's he's been he's
probably writing it in his journal every night about how
he needs more X plays and it's I'm so proud

(12:55):
of him that, you know, the work that he's put
in has been extraordinary. I think he really turned a
corner about a year ago and said like, I'm going
to work harder than everybody else, and I'm going to
be more detail oriented everybody else, and I want to
have more intention behind my actions. And it's been impressive
watching him grow and mature as a football player. And
he's such a smart, tough kid, and it's been great

(13:18):
to watch him go out there and kind of put
it all together. And I thought this last game kind
of personified that, you know, all the all the hard
work that he'd put in.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
He after the game said something a long lines of
that that he was proud of himself, and I saw
you kind of smile, and it seems like that was
a moment for you and that meant a lot for
you almost like, uh, it just kind of explained why
did that resonate for you? It seemed like that that
made you proud.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
That's that's a nice pick up there.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Well, I think the same thing that made me proud
of the whole game, right, is that it's a there's
a lot of work that goes into what we do.
And you know, I know for the people out there
that you know that that invest a lot in us
as well. You know, when they're seeing us, it's one
one day a week and twelve times a year, and
you know, we're doing this thing a lot, and it's
it's it's a full year, three hundred and sixty five days,

(14:04):
and we work a lot of hours. And that's what
made me proud was that the things that you know,
we've tried to really hone in on and stay really
tight on and continue to press even when it's it's tough,
and even when you get bored doing the little things,
you know, those are the things that show up in
those kind of games. And we did that, and I
think Joe kind of felt the same way about himself.
I think you know, like I just said, I think

(14:25):
he has put a lot of effort into becoming the
best version of himself over the past few years. And
and when it when it happens, when it all kind
of gets put out there on the field, there's a
really proud moment in there that you can you know,
it's okay to say, like, shoot, man, I did a
lot for this, and I feel proud about that. And
it was fun to hear him say it and admit that,

(14:46):
you know, he he wanted that, and that's exactly what
he'd put all the work in for. And you know,
I think that he'll be the first to tell you
that it's not where it ends either. We look forward
to it continuing this weekend at FIU. Will talk about
the trip down in Miami in a little bit. We
got a whole lot more from this game.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
I want to talk about Kyrie do Plasi, who had
a fantastic game on offense as well. But we're gonna
take a time out with pay some bills. When we
come back, Kyrie is gonna be here, so we'll talk
with Kyrie when you're back on you get a chance
to talk about the game your wide receiver had as
well delarbat Yukon on Saturday forty four to forty one.
In overtime a thriller. We're gonna take a time out.
We come back. More of the Blue Hens Football Coaches

all season, leads a team with seventeen receptions for two
hundred and eighty three yards. So welcome to the show.

(16:08):
Kyrie du Place, thanks so much for being here.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Pleasure to be here.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
All right, Well, we've been looking forward to talking to you.
You have had just a highlight reel start to the
year for the University of Delaware, A big one against
Yukon sixty two yard catch and run, and then of
course week one against Delaware State, the one handed grab.
It's already on T shirt. It's probably selling out across
the country. Do you have a favorite out of the
two favorite?

Speaker 5 (16:33):
I mean, I'm just glad that I'm getting past this anyway,
So I think they're both great catches and I'm glad
that was able to make them.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's great. All seventeen are your favorites so far. But
we have been so impressed with you in year one
as a Blue hen. You know, through three games you
already have career season highs and catches seventeen yards, two
hundred and sixty three and two touchdowns. That the talent's
always been there. Do you feel like sometimes you just
have to be in the right setting, get the right opportunity,

(16:58):
and Delaware's providing that for you.

Speaker 5 (16:59):
Yeah, just being at the right place at the right time.
I've worked hard, and I have done a lot of
things for the past couple of seasons from where I
was at to where I am now, and Delaware is
giving me.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
An opportunity to be able to show that.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
So it's just been great.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Well, we're glad that you are wearing blue and gold.
And tell us about kind of your journey to get
here because you enter the transfer portal kind of I
believe that the day after Christmas in twenty twenty four,
and then you commit to Delaware in May. So what's
that journey like for you and why ultimately did you
land on the University of Delaware.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
A good question. I ended a transfer portal, like you said,
ended up coming back home and was home for a
couple of months, just enjoying time with family, just kind
of figuring out what my next step was. Coach Cartier
and Coach Died had reached out to me and said
that they would like to see me come out and
have a recruited visit. So when I was able to
come and meet with them, they just being around the

(17:49):
team and being around the culture that they have around here,
being around the area and everything. I really fell in
love with it, and that was really one of my
designing factors on why I can ended up coming here,
being able to be in close knit area and be
able to continued to further my education so that was
really one of my big things.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Well, you use the word family, so you spend some
time with family, and I know you had a close
family culture at Coastal Carolina, and I believe you've remarked
that you kind of felt that same family culture here
at Delaware as well. Is that accurate exactly.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
It's a very close knit group of you guys that
are in here. We ork card every day. We do
everything we can together and coach always preached about together
and it's and that's something I really do value as
a player.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
So talking with Kyrie do Placy and you all talk
about education, and I know you're a great student and
that's something that Delaware takes a lot of pride in
as well. But what do you want to get into
when it's all said and down your football career is
over and use the degrees.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
I aspire to become a patologist, which is a marine
biologist that studies Wales. That's what I'm trying to become.
My end goal of everything. I've been wanting to be
that since I was a child, Study it and I
ultimately find what I'm dreaming of. So this is kind
of what I'm working on.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
So very specific in terms of green biology, seatologists and
why wales? Where did that come from? What made you
want to go to that field?

Speaker 5 (19:09):
All the million is a documentary and the textbook. There's
a book that my dad had my parents had got me.
It's called Ocean, and I remember reading it a lot
and blue whales really fascinated me. And that kind of
like got me into a journey of looking up stuff
that nobody knew about them, and I ended up finding
like nobody knows where blue whales kind of come from
in regards to like where they've been born and all
that kind of stuff. And I'm hoping one day to

(19:30):
be able to find that.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
So that is fantastic. I mean, this is why I
love getting to do these segments and learn more about
the players. This is all fascinating stuff. I wish you
the best of luck in that field on the football field,
though we still have another game coming up on Saturday,
and a whole lot more this season. We look forward
to watching your play with you talk about the tight
knit group of this program, that wide receiver room, so

(19:54):
deep be yourself, Fall Wilson, Patterson, Kelly the Boy, what's
the dynamic of that room and how have you enjoyed
playing with some of those guys.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
That's a great dynamic. We're all close, we're all friends,
we all work together and come together. When somebody else
makes a play, everybody celebrates it. And I think that's
one of the best things. You can see a lot
in this day and age that everybody's trying to play
for themselves or trying to get the stats and all
those types of things. But that's not something that we
have in this room. If one person makes a five
yard hitch, it's the biggest thing. So it's just like

(20:23):
we're happy when anybody gets to play because you never
know when that play is going to come.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
That's great to hear. And everybody made an impact in
that Yukon game, and players had to step up. Jake
Thaw his first game out, and other opportunities and targets
became available in just a big game for the offense.
But we know about your big catch that you went
up and got and went sixty two yards for a touchdown,
but there were maybe arguably a bigger one late in

(20:48):
the game. It was a twenty six yard catch on
the final drive of the fourth quarter. They looked at
it for targeting it's not easy catch to hold on
to take us through that play, because I think maybe
even more so than the huge highlight real catch, that
one ultimately set the team up for success and a
chance to kick a field goal to go to overtime.

Speaker 5 (21:06):
Yeah, we knew we needed the yards to be able
to get ourselves in a field goal range. So coach
made a great play, a great call, and when I
ran my route, I I saw the ball. I'm not
trying to make a play on it and just keep
possession of it. Once I got hit. It was a
hard hits you could see. But the same time, I
was glad I was able to keep the catch and
be able to make ourselves put ourselves in a situation
to be able to make play.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, at the stadium full of fans that were happy
you were able to hold on as well. What's that
feeling like when Nick gets into the end zone and
you've won the game.

Speaker 5 (21:31):
It was a great feeling. I was happy as I'll
get out. We were worked so hard to be able
to get to that moment, get to that point. All
of us were just saying we needed one more chance,
one more chance to be able to get on the
field because we knew and we were confident that we
could make it, and once he made it, it just was
a wave of relief that was like, yes, we did.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, and just an exciting, exciting time. Talking with Kyrie
do Placy, new wide receiver on the team this year,
leads a team with seventeen receptions. Nick Mintakouchi's never lacked
any type of confidence. He's always been a guy that
knew he could be the starting quarterback. Obviously it started
with Zach Marker and he comes in and don't want
to say in relief because he started the final games

(22:07):
of last season. Now he's a starter again. Do you
see him now kind of taking the reins of this
quarterback position and kind of elevating himself as you know
he is QB one.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
Yeah, you can tell he's stepping into his confidence level,
his level of play. He's playing at a higher level,
and you can tell this it's going. He's going in
the right directions to continue to get better and I
can't wait to see what he does next week.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Talking with a Kyrie du Placi, last name d U
P l E. S s I. S SO does no
favors to broadcast. So that looks like duplessis to me
so big shout out to our sports servation director for
football and Lefferge for making sure that pronunciation chart is right.
Do you get a lot of mispronunciations of the last
name Padrick?

Speaker 5 (22:46):
That is the thing that I have to worry about.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Hey, well, the more plays you make, the more often
it's going to be said, and the more often it
will be said correctly as well. We certainly know your
name now on that football field, f iu this we
we can head down to Miami. How does this team
keep it rolling after just a great offensive showing on Saturday?

Speaker 5 (23:05):
I mean we continue to work containing prepare. Coach has
been saying, we got to keep stacking days, putting the
putting the together a good plan and being able to
execute in the right ladies, if I use a great
team and we got to be able to come prepare
ready to.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Play, exciting to start conference competition, Yes, sir, all right, well, Kyrie,
we appreciate you coming on the show for the first time.
Keep doing what you're doing on the field. You are
a pleasure to watch out there.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
All right, that's Kyrie, do placy everyone. We'll take a
time out. We come back more with head coach Ryan Cardy.
It's a Blue Hens Football Coaches Show ninety four seven
w DSD.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
You're listening to the Klondike Cats Blue Hens Football Coaches
Show presented by First Date or The Beat X featuring
head coach Ryan Carty. Welcome backet into your home for
Delaware Football ninety four to seven WDSD and iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Welcome back into the Kloni Kates Blue Hens Football Coaches Show.
Tomorrow is the next Blue Hens Football Touchdown Club meeting
at the Bob Cartners come for lunch and to hear
from guests. Speakers aren't linked the team's assistant head coach
for defense and special teams, as well as Tara Zalinger
field hockey head coach. The MVPs this week where a
man we just spoke with Kyrie do play Sea Dylan
trainer and on he's on defense and Nate Reid on

(24:15):
special teams. We just talked with Kyrie. What a great
addition to the team this year. But I want to
get your just thoughts on Kyrie kind of as a whole,
but also we know he's got the highlight reel catches.
He lost somebody run sixty two yards of one handed
catch in Week one, but I think maybe the most
important catch was a twenty six yard catch in the

(24:35):
fourth quarter might have been targeting. They reviewed targeting three
times in that game. Nothing came up as targeting, But
to hold onto that pass and set Delare up for
what would be eventually a game tying field goal that
might have been as impressive as the rest of them.
But he's got plenty to choose from this year, seventeen
catches already and coming in the year. I felt like
you had mentioned, you know, he's got the potential to

(24:57):
be one of the really good ones, a great one,
but he's got to do it on the field, and
he's doing it out there.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Well, when people transfer in, you know, all you get
a chance to see is how they're doing in the
preparation side of it, and and how they pick up
the offense and the plays that they make in fall camp.
It doesn't mean they're going to go out there and
do it on a game day. You don't know that
until you see it, right, And so you know, we
could see from his preparation and throughout fall camp that

(25:23):
that Kyrie was going to be somebody that was very
detail oriented, very serious, extremely smart, he can play all
the positions, very versatile, and I the highlight of real
catches was the thing I wasn't actually sure that he
was going to be able to do. I mean, he
made a couple during fall camp that were really impressive.
He then went up and got some balls, but he

(25:45):
was just so consistent, and I was certain that he
was going to help us, you know, I did know that.
And then as much as as you can know something
without seeing it, you know, on the field, it was like,
this kid's going to help us, and he's going to
be a player for us. And then by the time
the season went, the fall camp went on, you know,
some other guys has been banged up, we had a
couple of injuries out wide, and he was just consistent

(26:06):
every day out there working his butt off, doing his prehab,
doing his rehab and you know, taking up taking care
of his bumps and bruises and just being really detail
oriented and serious. And you can tell it's very important
to him that he wants to be successful and it's
why he is successful, and so similar to the things
we just talked about with Joe Nathan, I mean it's

(26:27):
you know, how much work are you putting in when
when people aren't watching, when we're not in the practice field,
when we're not in the.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Weight room, you know, what are you doing on your own?
You know, as far as nutrition.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
And he's also a very good student, and exactly what
he wants to do is very unique, and so you know,
he has a lot of time spent on that as well,
and so you know, what he's done on the field
has just been so much fun to watch because he's
a great kid that works his butt off and is
extremely talented.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Well, we're glad he is a blue Head. In seventeen
catches on the season, two hundred eighty three yards so
far in two touchdowns. Talk with Ryan Cardy here on
the Blue Hens Football Coaches Show mentioned the Touchdown Club MVPs.
Another award winner this week. How about Steven Denboski a
triumphant return to Delaware football win CUSA Player of the
Week award for the offensive line of team effort. I

(27:15):
think for the offensive line award, But great timing by
den bo to come back. When Patrick Shupp misses his
first game for the first time since the South Dakota
playoff game in twenty twenty two. The always versatile Finton
bros Has to slide over again. He goes to left guard.
Den Boski comes back and is able to play center.
But just another solid game for your offensive line. But

(27:38):
then great to see tem Boski back in the line. Yeah,
it's awesome to see den.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Vo get back.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
You know, it was hard for us when he went
down during fall camp, and you know, I had to
miss an extended period of time because he's such a
pivotal part of that really good offensive line. It's the
guy who makes all those calls up front and snaps
the ball. He's obviously touching the ball every play and
making the calls, and so you know, it was awesome
for Finn and his and his progression, and obviously also

(28:07):
awesome for Finn probably Finton Rose that is, to have
those snaps at center so that he could prove that
he could do at the next level as well, because
he needs versatility at that in the interior positions at
the next level as well. So it was great for
him in his development to play center for a couple
of weeks. But I think he was happy to go
back to you know, he's he's not a talker.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
He doesn't love making those calls and so you know, it's.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Really uh great to have h don Bo get back
in there and and feel confident again. And you know,
just that energy that he brings and that intensity that
that he brings is so much fun to uh to
be around. And yeah, a shame that that Pat had
to miss a game too. It's uh, he's been playing
you know, his best football, uh and he's played a
lot of it and so hopefully we can get him

(28:51):
back soon too.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
And I think that's that's a clean sweep down for
Finton has left guard was the last one. Everything everything
us have been there obviously for a long time, and
now bros can say he's played everywhere. But a great
job by the the offensive line. And we talked about
the offense. We did mention defense. I think we we
kind of touched about the defense allows a lot of

(29:12):
yards in that game, over five hundred yards. So but
again it's kind of the way that the game is going.
Did they make the plays when they needed to? Yes?
Is there anything that you saw within the game of
areas that you'd like to see improved or tightened up
a bit on the defensive side, Yeah, I mean, obviously
the two that stand out or you know, we didn't
create enough havoc. And that's one of our you know,
major statistics that we look for. And it doesn't have

(29:34):
to just be turnovers and and uh and sacks, which
is the things that we did not do well also,
but like TFLs and and PBUs and you know, things
that you know, getting around the quarterback and making.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Him feel uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
I think we could have done a better job at
and and then on third downs, we we did not
get off the field well enough, you know, and and
honestly in the first three games, and that's something we
have to continue to work on and continue to kind
of focus in on. And you know, because we're not
doing a bad job getting the third downs and we're
actually putting people in some long down distances, and we're
still not getting off the field as much as we

(30:08):
need to. And so, like you said, we made the
places when we needed to, but we need to We
could continue to be better. You know, we have much
more in us on both sides of the ball, and
we need to clean those things up.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
You mentioned after the game, Just thank you to the
community and the alumni for their support. Just kind of
digging deeper into just how it has affected Delaware football.
There are eight teams in the FBS with a ten
game home winning streak ten games or more, and we're
talking Georgia, Oregon, Alabama's of the world. Delaware is on
that list. And I know, just the support the alumni

(30:43):
reach it out. I'm sure you had a few text
messages on Saturday just your your thoughts on just how
the turnout has been to Delaware Stadium and just to
support for this year's team.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
I finally got back to most of those text messages
I did took about Tuesday Wednesday. Last night, I was
landing bad responding to a few Hey, sorry, I didn't
see this one. Yeah, but yeah, it's just been so
much fun, and it's it's always been comfortable for me,
you know, And I think that's, you know, maybe a
product of me being an alum here and having played

(31:17):
here and understanding what this place is like and what
it can be and what it should feel like in
a in a game day atmosphere. And I think, you know,
I think we finally are getting that feeling of this
is what it should sound like when it's a big
time in a game, and this is what it should
sound like when a play is made, and this is
what the student section should, uh should feel like. And

(31:39):
I think I've just been so pleased and proud and
happy with what the community support has been and and
really just the energy has been. There's been a different
juice around the program this year, and I think it's
the exact reason that we made the move to to
be an FBS football team and go to Conference USA.
And it's been fun to kind of feel it, you know,

(32:01):
the fruits of that labor and understand what you know,
what the intentions were, and then kind of feeling it
in action has just been fun to fun to be
around and fun to be part of. And you know,
I think there's a there's certainly a belief in us,
but also an underdog mentality that we have, and I
think people are getting behind it.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah, people certainly are great attendance in both the home
games and just just a fun Saturday. Lastly, before we
take a break and Jack Hall will join us next.
The equipment crew always does a great job of getting
some some ADIDA stuff and you're always looking sharp. But
the amount of times in the past decade I've gotten
asked about, Hey, where can I get one of those

(32:38):
baseball hats with the old school D on it, and
I and I think, I said, I think it's just
I don't even think they sell it. I think it's
in the the bookstore. I'm probably gonna gate keep your answer.
I don't even think I want to know where you
got it is, because in case it's it'll sell out immediately.
But the hat. For people talking about the hat, I
mean it was it looked you look sharp out there.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
This Uh, I'm probably gonna get in trouble for even
talking about it. There's a I think it's it's high level,
top secret. You know, we're getting in to the c
I A territory essays coming after me.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
The I think.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
The there's some some issues with the trademarking of that
that D. But we what happened was I wanted to
honor tb Raymond, and I walked by Jerry Oh's office
every day and I have I see that I see
him wearing that exact hat, and I think it looks

(33:29):
cool as heck, and so uh, you know, I I
have been doing my best to ask for the ability
to wear that in the game for a long time
and we finally got approval to do it, and uh,
I thought it was the perfect week to do it
in an old school New England, you know, Northeast matchup
and and uh a team that we used to play,

(33:50):
you know, uh back when he was coaching, And so
it was. It was It was certainly just me trying
to honor, honor a legend and and wear a cool
hat at the same time.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
You did just that. I have asked you about defenses
and schemes and opponents. I nursing you as nervous answer
your question when you had to describe what went into
getting an old school d Delaware at that is how
live with an addition, those things are. But you did
a great job. I don't think you're get in trouble.
No one will you look sharp. It was a great
tribute to Tubby Raymond and an old rivalry game. Why

(34:20):
not wear the hat to go along with it. We
are going to take a time out when we come back.
Jack Hall is going to be with us big third
down play in overtime, and we'll talk to him about
that and a whole lot more. You're listening to the
Blue Hens Football Coaches Show at ninety four to seven

I'm Scott Kladskin. Joined now by a man that made
a huge play defensively for Delaware in the big win

(35:16):
on Saturday, and he's made huge plays his whole career.
Jack Hall is with us. Jack thanks so much for
joining the show. Pleasure to be here, Scott, Thanks for
having me awesome. It's always a pleasure for me to
get to talk to you. You seem like someone that
just enjoys playing the game of football and is a
joy to be around. You can feel your energy from
up in the broadcast booth all the way from down
there on the field, but was happy for you what

(35:38):
a win it was against Yukon. And take us through
the biggest defensive play of the game, because it's set
up what would be a game winning and not necessarily
a game tying touchdown for Nick Minnicochi because you held
Yukon to a field goal. But the SACA on third down,
take us down to field level and diagnose that play.

Speaker 6 (35:57):
Yeah, well they got us down to the three yard line,
I believe on and we started a new series of
downs all right on that three.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
So we knew we had to buckle down. Uh.

Speaker 6 (36:07):
We had our hippo package in which means, uh, you
bringing all the big guys in five D linemen, and
that's how we like it. We liked the game on
our in our hands. So they ran three plays in
a row. We did a good job of stopping the run,
and then on third down, we kind of weren't expecting pass.
We were just expecting to get vertical find the running back,

(36:28):
and all of a sudden, I was three yards in
the backfield and saw the quarterback and just hit him.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Tried to grab his ankle.

Speaker 6 (36:35):
At one point I kind of lost him for a second,
just grabbed his ankle and started twisting.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
It was it was there something neat about making that
play along with another six year guy that's been here
all six years, with Ethan Saunders. The fact that you
two combined to make that play must have been special.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (36:51):
So Ethan was one of the first guys I ever
met coming here. We were both too d linemen uh,
the young bucks in the room with the very veteran group,
and they expected us to learn a lot fast. So
it's been kind of a great seeing the journey that
we've been on throughout the past six years. And I
consider in one of my closest friends, and it was

(37:12):
really cool to make that play with them.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
It has been a journey. We'll talk about that in
a moment, though, I want to talk about first. So
defense does their job holding into a field goal? Describe
the energy, the feeling when you're watching from the sideline
and the offense gets in the ends.

Speaker 6 (37:27):
Well, the way they've been playing all day. All we
kept saying on the sideline is just get a stop.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Get it back to them.

Speaker 6 (37:33):
I knew if we gave it back to Minnikuchi, we'd
make a play, and I was very confident once we
got off that field that we were going to make
it happen.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
And then they did on offense and the game was won,
an incredible victory over Yukon. And you've been here for
some great wins. That's gotta be up there though. You
know Villanova, you were on the team to win the
CA Championship in the spring of twenty twenty one. You've
been here for playoff wins, a win against So you

(38:01):
use the word journey, and it's been a journey for you.
You're six year on the team, so kind of take
us through your time at delawre and how you've enjoyed
being a Blue Head.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
Well, my favorite part about being here at Delaware has
always been We've won a lot of games. The only game,
the only season we haven't had a winning record was
my sophomore year, which I broke my foot in Game
three and missed the rest.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
Of that Why.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Quite frankly, I don't think that's why.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
I don't think they were missing me too much.

Speaker 6 (38:27):
But uh we We've I've really had a great career
here and the people around the coaches, the players have
really been what makes it special. But it's fun winning
a lot of football games, and going back to that
game in Navy, that was a great one. Being Villanova
is always good, but really the game last week was

(38:49):
definitely up there, probably my favorite game I've ever played.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
It.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
It was special just because there's there's not a whole
lot of games where Delaware comes in as the underdog.
You talk about how much you've been waiting, definitely, and
so to come in as underdog to win your first
FBS game was really special to be an FBS team. Now,
we talked about how you came in to an FCS
program and there was no mention even at the time
that they were going to be moving up or any
changes were going to be made. And the time you

(39:13):
came in was your first season was the spring season
in twenty twenty one. But I asked Dylan trainor this
earlier on an episode, but you the same question. Is
there a sense of pride to kind of be a
part of this transition and to see the growth of
Delaware in.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
This new era?

Speaker 6 (39:30):
Yeah, most definitely, me and Dylan and Ethan and a
bunch of the guys that had been around when we
came in. We knew we were coming into one of
the best FCS programs in the country, and we were
coming here to win national championships, win big games. And
the fact that the whole program has elevated so much
to the point that we're playing FBS ball and winning
big games really wasn't much of a surprise to us

(39:52):
because we always knew what this Delaware football program could be.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
But it's really cool to see it happen. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
Talking with Jack call the defensive line, and you talked
about when you came in a veteran defensive line, and
you've got a mix of veterans on this team, there
are also some young guys that are coming on. Do
you now feel a responsibility to pave the way and
teach guys like Tray Scott and Singleton and Gorham who
are going to be talking to me in five years
to say what you are now.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yes, definitely.

Speaker 6 (40:20):
And I think it's really cool because all those guys
are a next level of prospect than we were. You know,
it's funny to see Trace came in, he looked like
a grown man. Brandon came in, He's an athletic specimen.
Like It's really cool to see because they're starting from
a much higher floor than we were at and so
I'm just trying to make it, make them as much

(40:42):
as better as they can get while I'm still here.
Learn Like I tell him to soak up all you
can from me and then keep learning and keep getting better.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Yeah, impressive of a group of guys. What is Noah
Matthews brought to the defense?

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Oh? No, it was amazing.

Speaker 6 (40:55):
I think he just brings that attitude and just his physicality.
I was surprised how well he adapted to being a
true on the line d end and he really picked
it up really quick and he's been balling out for us.
He's a great presidence in the room. Everybody loves him,
and he's really brought a little bit of leadership because, Uh,
he's kind of the bridge between we have a lot

(41:16):
of old guys like me Ethan.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
We have four or five guys.

Speaker 6 (41:19):
Leaving this year, and he's kind of that bridge between
him us and the young guys.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
It's a good good way of pointing that we've talked
so much about the style of defense that Delaware operates.
It is a unique three three five defense. What are
some advantages disadvantages of there's only three of you guys
holding down the defensive lineup front there. What do you
like about the three three five?

Speaker 6 (41:39):
Well, I like it because Coach Rojas asked us to
do more than what most defensive linemen are asked to do.
A lot of times in a four down front, you're
just asked to get vertical, stay in your gap.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (41:50):
Sometimes we're two gaping will Uh. We'll play a lot
of four I, which is a very hard technique to
for the young guys to pick up at first, But
when you've been playing it as long as I have,
it starts to come natural. And yeah, I think the
more we can do with three men up front.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
The more it allows the rest of the defense to
do big game on Saturday, big win the previous Saturday
against you. How does the team put all that excitement
kind of in the rear view and get ready for FIU?

Speaker 6 (42:18):
Just get back to work. We have a lot more
we want to accomplish this year. You know, beating Yukon
is great, but if our season ends with that, that's
a pretty disappointing season, you know. So we have a
lot more we want to accomplish and we're not satisfied
at all.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Well, you gotta be excited now. First game in Conference USA,
like this is that we've talked about a member of
Conference USA.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
This is it.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
This is game one. This is where conference play begins.
And you've been through it, you know how other rigors
of conference play can be. But it's got to be
exciting for you to get things started.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
CEO.

Speaker 6 (42:49):
Yeah, definitely, And I'm very excited to see what the
conference has to offer. Playing in the CIA for so long,
it that's some real tough conference play and it's nice
to be stepping up. Let Conference USA has some very
good teams. FIU is a very good team, and I
can't wait to see how we stack up.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Not a bad place to get things started. Miami, Florida, Yeah,
Pitbull Stadium. All right, Jack, we look forward to seeing
you play on Saturday. Always fantastic to talk with you.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Thanks so pleasure, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
All right, that's Jack Hall. We'll take the time out,
we come back. We'll get Ryan Carty's thoughts on FIU.
Here in ninety four to seven w DSD.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
As you are.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Listening to the Klondyke Cates Blue Hens Football Coaches Show
presented My First State or the Beedix featuring head coach
Ryan Carty, Welcome, backet into your home for Delaware Football
ninety four to seven w DSD and iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
One last segment here on the Blue Hens Football Coaches
Show on a Wednesday, getting ready for Delaware to take
on FIU. They're two and one, They're only lost to
the number two team in the country, Penn State. They
certainly have Conference USA championship aspirations as we get into
conference play. I'm Scott Class alongside Ryan Cardy coach. You
look at FIU this weekend and what stands out to
you about that group as we get ready to take

(44:03):
on Conference USA competition.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
You know, I'd say, you know, both sides of the ball,
very physical team. They they do their best to you know,
be sound tough, physical. You can see that they're well
coached on both sides of the ball. Don't make a
lot of mistakes. They're they're very long in the back
end on defense and uh and very stout upfront on

(44:26):
defense and so you know, including the linebackers in the
front seven, and so you know it's gonna be one
of those, uh, you know, who can out physical who
kind of games I think and I think they're very similar,
you know as far as their schedule right now of us,
right they you know, we both won to an FCS game,
both played tough against a pretty solid, uh you know,

(44:49):
power forward team, and then you know, played a local
group of five team and got a w at home.
And so you know, push is gonna come to shove
and see who can you know, continue the the right
track here between FIU and Delaware and so hopefully, you know,
we go down there and perform well against a really tough,
you know, well coached team offensively a couple running backs

(45:10):
that ran for one hundred and seventy yards a week ago.
They've got Key John Olwens their quarterback, Key One Jenkins,
And these are two guys that have been in the program.
They haven't bounced around, they've been at FIU for a while.
They certainly have some big play capabilities on the offense there.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
Yeah, they do.

Speaker 4 (45:25):
And and you know, I think that's again something that
you're gonna see week in and week out, is you know,
really talented players in this league and and people who
can pop one on you. I think is certainly what
you see on tape throughout the conference. And you know,
hopefully we do our due diligence on again on the
defensive side of the ball, keeping it inside and in front,

(45:45):
making sure that we gang tackle, run to the ball,
try to get the ball out as much as we
can create some havoc, you know, get around the quarterback
in the pocket when they do choose to throw the ball,
and hopefully bottle up some people when they choose to
run it, because you know, they're certainly the capability of
popping one, and all of a sudden the game changes
when it's a big one.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Defensively, numbers can be you know what happens when maybe
a team goes up against a top five team in
the country, or we play Penn State a couple of
seasons ago, So numbers can be skewed early on in
the in the year going up against Drew Aller. They did,
but John Cheney Josiah Taylor, two linebackers, have combined for
forty six tackles so far on the season. What do
they do defensively that that you'll have to defeat?

Speaker 4 (46:27):
Yeah, I think it's it's really that they play really
sound and you know they they don't It's not a
they don't do a ton of stuff. You know, it's
kind of different than last week. Whereas those guys were
all over the place and you know, you were guessing
what was happening.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
You know, these guys know who they are.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
They do it really well, they do.

Speaker 4 (46:44):
It soundly, They tackle well, they run to the ball
extremely well, and I think, like I said, they're long
and fast too, and so like as you you know,
they make up ground if something goes wrong, if they
happen to lose on a you know, in coverage or
up front, if they happen to get you know, on somebody,
they can shed them late because of their length and
their strength. And so it's gonna take a lot for

(47:07):
us to move the ball down the fielding. They're gonna
make us drive it. They're not going to give us
those big ones. And and so hopefully we can continue
to be sound and keep the ball in our heart,
you know, in our heart, keep the ball in our hands. Uh,
It's ingrained in me. And we talked all about ball
security on the show. You know, keep up, keep the ball,
you know, talk to us and make sure that you know,
we don't give them any any second chances, because if

(47:29):
we get the ball back to this offense, they're they're
bound to pop one.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
They're head coach Willie Simmons, you'll face for the first
time as a coach. It's actually the first time Delaware's
played in the state of Florida since nineteen forty eight.
We don't have to be an amazing big game against
Rolins in nineteen forty eight, but Dellar hasn't found their
way down to the Sunshine State. And quite some time
with Willy Simmons though, Yeah was in school. Yeah, that

(47:54):
big rival back in the late forties. But Willie Simmons
played against you as a player. He was the quarterback
of Citadel in two thousand and three forty one to
seven Delaware one. They won just about every time they
took the field in two thousand and three. Touchdown in
that game as well, So perhaps he'll be holding on
to that one. I'm sure he'll remember that as much

(48:16):
as I got to make it. Here we go, Lock,
it's finished. We talk about finish, coach, we have we
have thirty seconds, Souff. The excitement of starting something new.
We talk about a lot of season of first this
year and another first obviously, the first trip to Florida,
first game as a member of Conference USA against Conference USA.

(48:37):
Exciting challenge, to be playing your first conference.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
Game, it is, and you know, it's pretty awesome that
this is what we did it for, right, just like
last week and having those kinds of games and pivotal moments,
and you know, now we're going to a different state
that we haven't been to in a while, and those
are the things that are cool about this, right We're
taking our show on the road. We're we're getting the
University of Delaware and the hand and the three to
oh two into the three oh five now, and so
hopefully we can continue to uh, you know, perform well,

(49:04):
play really hard, play tough, you know, make a few
plays here and there. And that's that's what we're looking
to do, is is go there and compete our butts
off and and you know, I think it's pretty awesome
that we get a chance to do that in a
new conference and and see what we're what we're stacked
up against, and see what it's like.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Coach, you made the you made the play what you
needed to at the end there, Thank you. Always fun
