We got Arizona Special Teams coach Greg nvar Ivar.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Okay, uh, you say he's a good talker, very good.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
I loves baseball, and I know Chip Hill was saying
to Michael lev if he could coach baseball, he would
he would choose.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
What's the background with that?

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Texas guy loves the Houston Astros. Just loves the game
of baseball, baseball and barbecue in football baseball.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Texas Texas. I do, I do coaching, okay, and then
at three forty you got James Caesar is a defensive
back for the Vegas Nighthawks, the team that's coming in
on Saturday to play against the Green Bay team in
the IFL Championship. Get your tickets now, support that big game.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, it's a big championship for the city too, So
big championship if they show up.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
The city doesn't get many of those. What do the
kids say, show up, show out? Whatever the kids say.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
It's gotta be the last championship game that they've kind
of hosted since uh the w N nineteen Oh yeah,
well yeah, I guess yeah, I can't think of one.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Maybe the volleyball one last year.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Oh yeah, there's that.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Okay, yeah, yeah, does that well, but professionally we don't
doesn't get many. No, what would be just road runners
or shooters goals and this is it? Yep, right, that's
all it's left. Jill me, I'm wrong, No, that's it. Brother, sidewinders,
no padres so well, yes, and swirls are not really no, yeah,

(02:16):
yeah they are with the.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Other they're good though. Another championship.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Well, welcome everybody you can give us a call five
two oh four one six seventy four forty if you'd
like to give us a quick call. We got less
than two weeks left. It seems like it's gone. Has
it gone faster slope?

Speaker 4 (02:30):
For me? It's gone slow all the time. I think
it is. It is going by quickly. I mean we
are getting there two weeks in terms of you know,
fol days away from kickoff. Thank god, it's almost over
the training game.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
You you get a sense because I know and you
kind of pay attention to what you're looking for.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Huh uh. This is a better team.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
I think it's more well rounded team in terms of
the star power. I think obviously you don't have t
t Romic Milan, you don't have Jona seven A, you
don't have those type of names. But I think it's
a deeper team and a little bit more well rounded,
which bodes well, yeah to me if they're going to
be a bowl team.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
How was the kid from from new med school doing transfer?

Speaker 5 (03:11):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (03:12):
The receiver, Yeah, very good. You know, he kind of
reminds me of Dave Roberts. He's a little bit not
Dave Roberts, say, David Douglas a little bit smaller than
David Douglas, but that possession receiver, sure, and yeah, it's
gonna get six eight nine yards pick up every time.
M hmm.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay, anybody else impression running backs?

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Running backs? Well I almost said Jacory Cross get merrit Yeah,
but Kendrick Resono looks good. And then the freshman from Texas,
Wessey Yarborough is a monster out there on the football field.
I mean, he does not look like a freshman.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
No, So let me ask you. I think I may
have asked you this a time or two. You go
out there now again too, don't you?

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Of the X amount of people that the X amount
of freshmen that came in X will start we'll play.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
See action, and off the top of my head, I
would say somewhere between three to five yeah, yeah, not
too many, but three solid ones that will be in
the rotation in some form offensive line to offense, one defense.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Okay, so that's where they need it, at least depth
they need.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yeah, offensive line. They got some talent there in terms
of the recruiting class, but nobody that's really ready to
play right now?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Okay, okay, so we'll see, we'll see. I see what
Brennan is I really think. I don't think I saw
it said that this to you. I think it was
Jay that I think that people will appreciate Brennan more
this year than they did last year. I think that
things will be different with him and how he handles
the team and how he handles his situation. And I
say that only because I think he learned a lot

(04:45):
last year.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Mm hmm, Well, I think he learned a lot. I
think you're not having to walk on eggshells and he's
seven a ton and you're just seeing it out there
on the football field with the coaching staff and him.
I think it's going to be a little bit more
blunt in postgame press conferences and weekly press conferences as
the days go along, because now you're not worried about
stepping on anybody's tones.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
In terms of blunt.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Well, let's be honest. At times last year, a guy
like Tokario Davis was not playing well, is getting burned.
But that's a guy that you're trying to keep here,
You're trying to keep happy, you know how the defense
to oh, well, you know no, I think he's going
to be a little bit Hey, we need to get
better here, this guy needs to step it up. And yeah,
maybe not so so much call out players direct, but well, yeah,

(05:30):
a little bit, be a little bit more direct with it,
right right, right, Well, these guys are getting paid, Yeah,
there is that. You know what happens in the real world.
When you get paid, you don't do your job, you're gone,
you gun and you get replaced. It's like Andy Lopus
is a great, great phrase with me and everybody else,
so that he probably knows be good, be good, or

(05:50):
be gone.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
I mean that's just the way it is. Because his
job is on the line. You've got to have people
that respect that well.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
And you see it with just on the coaching staff.
Clearly there needed to be changes there. And then sixty
one new faces on the roster.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, it's funny. So many of these teams have that
number of replacements. And Dion, not to defend Dion, but
he came in and you know, had the video and
people are gonna leave and people gonna come back and
blah blah blah, I get the bag, you know whatever,
and I was, So that's.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
How things are. Yeah, they just didn't. They just don't
do it as publicly as he did.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Yeah. Well, and I think it's a I mean, he
kind of kickstarted it in terms of that, but he
also went to an extreme where I think his first
year you had ninety four total transfers that either came
in and then left during spring and then came after spring. Yeah,
so like a guy would come in then leave and
ninety something total transfers. You're gonna be seeing a lot

(06:47):
of that. But I think for Arizona the last couple
of years you had a coaching change. Yeah, it's gonna happen, right, It's.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Gonna happen, and I think it's gonna be well, I
don't know if it's gonna be less of what you've
seen in the in the grand scheme of things, because
I think, well, I don't know whether they'll like to
play for him or not play for him, you know
here at this level.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah, No, I think the at least the freshmen and
the players that were already on the roster, they want
to be here. They want to be here for a reason.
The transfers coming in, most of them are one year
and gone, So you're going to have more transferts come in.
And I think that's for for any program. And a
guy like Richardriguez. I think it is. And and I'm

(07:29):
with West Virginia. I think it's a huge asset for
guys like that, where I can go get a starback
like that, I can go get an offense boil here,
especially if you're good at Ex's and house coach.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Right, and especially if you're that guy that can do that,
because you know rich Ronald, you know, come on, dude,
I can replace you pretty quickly. And who's not afraid
to do that?

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, did you read Did you guys read the Athletic?
Do you guys read the Athletic?

Speaker 4 (07:51):
I don't have that.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
So there was a great story by somebody who I'm
trying to have on a bill something.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
Uh uh.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
And I say this because it was about New Mexico
last week and he did a profile on how they
were poached.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
I kind of saw it scrolling by.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
He proached, he was poached by a ton of football
basketball Patina leaving their coach going to Utah's Utah State
I think it was, and everybody leaving. But that's the
effect of a level of school like that, right, Either
you're really good, they're gonna go get you. Arizona got one. Yeah,
uh and and there's not a lot of money to
be at. Uh So that level you're talking about Calorido, States,

(08:27):
New Mexico, Vegas, YadA, yaha. But you met, Arizona is
just above that, you know what I'm saying. They're not
the Alabamas, Ohio States, no Texas, and they're not probably
the in between buffer, you know. If that's that, there's
probably another buffer between Arizona and that and then Arizona
and then New Mexico.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
I think Arizona's lower middle of the pack. Yeah, but
more in middle than anything.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Where, but but you're gonna get some You're gonna lose something.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
For that reason.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
You know.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Okay, you're not as wealthy as this team, but you're
better than this team or this programma.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Should And you know, I'm not speaking of Arizona, but
I know from experiences and talking to other reporters that
cover other teams with this going on, there's cases where like,
you know what, let's not have you guys interview this
guy quite yet, even though he's doing well in training
camp and in spring ball. To keep let's wait till
we get to the season when the portal's all closed.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, Yeah, what do you mean is it
still open?

Speaker 4 (09:23):
No, No, it's closed right now. I'm just saying they
don't when the portal windows.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Oh isn't that the same way they handled the spring practices?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
So you won't see them.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
You can see them, but we're gonna hold off on interviews.
Now when I get it, I get it because you know, hey,
we found this secret weapon. Oh okay, on.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
If you had a pretty girlfriend, would you show her
off or you'd keep her in the keep her hidden?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
No comment, no comment. That's kind of what it is.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Well, yeah, it's kind of like starting to date somebody
and you're not sure quite how it's going to go.
I'm not going to take them around my friends.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah, you don't want to trust your friends there, Troy.
I know where you hang out. But you know what
I'm saying, Yeah, you don't want you want to keep
these guys under the under the wraps and make sure
that they, uh, they're staying home. Yeah, at least at
least throughout the season, right because yeah, this is a
one year we're playing on one year season.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Now, if that makes any sense.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
You know what I'm doing, And I don't know if
you saw the Northern Illinois coach was complaining about poaching
and saying that how it's wrong to be saying that
it happens at a lot of small schools like the Mac,
the Whack and so on and so forth, and how
they need to fix things and change things there. But
here's my question. Don't you think they do it to
even smaller schools than them? Oh yeah, yeah, let's a

(10:44):
you know, actor.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's called the real world.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
It's called the eating the there's always a bigger fish exactly,
and you know, you just got to deal.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
In fact, I saw one of those big fish came in,
you know, smaller fish and the smaller fish not eating
just the way the world.

Speaker 2 (11:00):

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Breaking down all the axes at OHS. This is I
on the Ball with Steve Rivera on Box Sports fourteen
fifty Walcome.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Hey, welcome back to I'm the ballgre on Fox Sports
fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera and with me it is
Troy Hutchison.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
From Arizona Wildcats on SI.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
We got one of the controls here. Now we have
coach Craig Navar from the Arizona football team, the Special
Teams coach.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Coach, How you doing outstanding? Great?

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Great to hear that. Let me ask you a quick question.
We were talking about the year. But you're from Taylor,
Texas and not Tyler, Texas.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
Taylor, Texas right outside of Austin, about thirty minutes with
a small country town when I was growing up, and
basically it's a suburb of Boston.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Now, okay, great, great because Tyler's near Dallas and I
didn't I never really heard of Taylor.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
But great to have you on the show. You're going
to bring some Texas to this.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Team hopefully, so.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
So you know, I wanted to talk about the Special
Teams real quick. Obviously that's why we're having you on.
But you guys have had a really interesting battle at
the kicking position with Michael Sigatto Medina and Taylor There,
I mean Tyler there as well, just your overall thoughts.
It seems like when one goes five for six, the
other goes five for six. It seems like it's neck

(16:43):
and neck right now in camp between the two of them.

Speaker 5 (16:47):
No, we've got to we've got a tremendous battle going
on in the kicking game and a kicking part of
it and punning as well. So, as you mentioned in
the place kicker spot, Michael and Tyler have been battling out.
And what's the unique piece of that is sometimes you
have a battle and they're just pretty average and you're
just trying to find the best average guy you've got.

(17:10):
But they've been really competitive. As you just said, you know,
some guy will go seven for eight and the other
guy's right there with him, and some days or eight
for eight, and it's extremely competitive, especially for Tyler being
so young and being you to it. He's given us
the heck of an option there to help make Michael
better and also raise Tyler's level coming in as a

(17:32):
new freshman.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Historically, this position or the position you're coaching has been very,
very good through the years. You know kickers, specifically obviously
with Loop and some previous ones. You you probably know
that and just just your thoughts on coaching that that
part of it, well.

Speaker 5 (17:49):
I mean the biggest piece of it. You gotta have
a guy with a great leg and great mechanics, but
I always a kicking swing, a golf swing, swinging a
baseball bat. It takes power, it takes explosion. It also
takes some mental aspect of it. You know. Scotti Scheffer
is a guy that we've seen in professional golf right now,

(18:15):
never has two bad holes back to back. Mentally, he's
really good. Your best baseball hitters, the guys that can hit,
the guys that can pitch, the guys can do those things,
are also physically really good athletes. But they have the
right mental makeup to go into a situation and make
that big kick and if they don't respond from it,

(18:38):
And that's been unique in the battle. If you're saying them,
you know they're both seven for a or they're both
nine for ten, they respond when they have a myths
and they don't let one myth become two become three.
And that's been the cool part of watching this competition
as well.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Not only is it a battle at the place kicking
position that Michael's in. Also you mentioned the punting position
and just you know, and again it's one of those
things where one guy will have a great day and
it's followed by another one from the other dude, and
you know, so on and so forth. How have you
seen the progression there and especially just the I want

(19:13):
to say comfortness with the new surroundings for your new
Australian kicker as he gets used to the city of
Tucson and has kind of found his feet through this
training camp.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
No doubt Isaac comes for most from Australia, and the
very first couple of days of him hunting. Although he's
played Australian rules football, he's never been on a field
with twenty one other guys with football helmets all and
run around and trying to hit him. So that was
a new experience ram getting his feet wet and doing that.
I give the analogy that I think I said it before.

(19:46):
It's kind of like, go in your backyard and play
a football. It's not that hard, go on it and
try it. It's a little bit different, some bodies and
stuff flying around. He's adapting to that quickly, you know.
His trend addition to getting comfortable with all those bodies
around them has been really impressive. Michael has also made

(20:07):
some strides from last season as well, so yet again
that gives us good options there with guys competing and
pushing each other, rather than having a guy that's, you know,
pretty comfortable in his role and not being pushed.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
You find a kid.

Speaker 5 (20:27):
I coached Mike Dixon at the University of Texas and
then also signed his cousin from brokerk Pokick in Australia,
so I have a pretty good relationship with those guys
and an Australian guys to me as well. So we
were late in the recruiting season in March and April.

(20:48):
We're looking for a guys, so a lot of the
American guys have already designed place to go on to
different spots. So I just reached out to those guys
and said, what's available, you have a guy that's ready,
and they said, well, one ready to go by July.
And I trust those guys and they do a tremendous job.
And that's how Isaac made his way here.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Not only obviously we look at the kicking aspect for
special teams, but the return aspect. A lot of coaches
have different theories on how they want to go about
the return game. What's your I would say your top
two must haves in a returner either kick return or
punt return. What are your must haves? As a coach?

Speaker 5 (21:28):
Must have the ball? The number one job is have
the ball at the end of the down. Either catch
it and take the ball right there or you're getting
the ends on the hands of the official. The accountability
having the football is job one. If we can create
one or two first downs based on the return, that
is a bonus. And then if we can get a

(21:48):
big hit for a big return, you know that changes
the game in the battlefield position. But number one, well,
possession of football.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Could you talk real quick about that psychology of the sport.
I love this part of it where you know you
have good athletes and they do what they do, but
especially at your positions, you know, kicking, punting, long snap
and all that stuff where things have to happen and
you don't notice these guys until you notice these guys
when they fail. But you know the psychology of it
and being strong that way mentally.

Speaker 5 (22:17):
Sure, I give the analogy of it's kind of like
a one shot, one kill opportunity. A special team doesn't go,
you don't get a second down, you don't get a
third down. You've got one opportunity to get your job done.
And you have to have a short memory. You know,
one kick, one snap, good or bad, does not affect

(22:39):
the next one. The most important kick, the most important snap,
the most important return is the next return. So you've
got to be able to attack the one play, rinse
and repeat and do it all over again.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
This question is kind of I don't want to say
out of right field, but since we have you talking
about special teams and I don't think we're going to
get you again in camp. The NFL they have the
new kickoff rules with the touch back. If it touches back,
it goes to the thirty five yard line. If it's
in that field of play, they have to return. I
just wanted your thoughts are the new kicking changes and

(23:13):
if you ever see that coming to college football anytime soon?

Speaker 5 (23:18):
Yeah, I would. I would. Personally, It's just my opinion.
I have nothing to back it other than just my
guts that this may be the final season we see
a full kickoff in college football. Everything that college does
models the NFL because the influence of the NFL needing
players to perform those duties at that level. I don't

(23:41):
know the exact numbers at all the NFL claims. I
believe that's lowered the impact of concussions slightly, but I
would not be shocked the next year or two that
there is a transformed kickoff in college to match what's
going on in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah, this makes sense.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
So going back to the psychology of it, coach, do
you do anything to help with that with the kids
if they do, like, you know, get the there's not
the shakes, but you know the hebgb's whatever you want
to call, like to see if Steve Sacks throw where
you had to kind of refine himself.

Speaker 5 (24:16):
I think it's a double edged deal. You got to
speak obviously positive and positive informations. And I'm a born
and raised Catholic, So if I got to play the
rosary between kis.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Off that d whatever works, right, whatever works, there ain't
no doubt.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
So kind of going off of that psychology thing, you know,
I've heard you mentioned it Tyler Lup when he was
in Arizona. He would mention it and your kickers and
punters I mentioned it. Why is it that golf is
the number one thing that all kickers seem to go
to when talking about the kicking game.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
I think it's a fact on a on a golf swing,
the old analogy of slowest moothest mooth is fast as
far as timing and s king the ball and where
the club face strikes the ball as the same entire
foot strikes the ball. And if you're meet and you're
at top golf and you're trying to hit it like
Mike Trout, you're gonna be a real happy with hitting

(25:11):
it really harves. You have no idea where it goes.
So you've got to have a paced, level, tempoed swing
at the football rather be punting or kicking. So that mechanism,
that swing at the golf club is much like the
swing of a leg on the ball.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah, no question, it's like you brought up to as
a scheffler. I think he did earlier. Today. You know,
Jim Puric, who's from here.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Has that funky shot, but he's a heck of a
golfer because that's his funky shot. If anybody else had
that funky shot, he wouldn't go anywhere. But it's his shot.
So you probably have the same thing. Everybody has their
own approach.

Speaker 5 (25:47):
No doubt. If to get to this level, they've done
at a high level to be able to make it here.
I rely heavily on the training those young men receive
from the guys that are out there are really good.
There's a lot of good people out there that are
coaching you know, kickers and punters, some kick here.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
They give great insight and input and and those guys
are their sin saves for lack of a better term.
And I reach out to those guys a lot to
try to speak the exact same language and keep things
same ads same as so when there's an issue or
not over correcting and causing bigger problems.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Yeah, not having covered the teams specifically, but having covered
teams in the past here. Uh, some of special teams
coaches are are off the charts and kind of crazy.
They are, you know, you know, trying to pump the
guys up and very creative with what they do. Are
you an even killed guy or are you one of
those guys?

Speaker 5 (26:46):
I wasn't built to be even killed. I've coached special teams,
but a defensive courter. I've coached safeties my entire career. So,
uh no, even killed would probably not be the box
I fit into.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
So so what it would it be.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Let's just say that I have a lot of good
time to get that moment.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yeah, well, you have a good group too, because you're
probably able to kind of keep them loose and and
uh you know, you know, yeah, keep them loose is
probably my best phrase.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
Yeah, well, you relate to the great thing about special
teams is you relate to the entire roster. Yeah, you know,
you're coaching receivers, you're coaching defensive backs, you're coaching defensive line,
and you're coaching the entire roster and you get to
bring those guys together for the cohesion of the common goal.
The common goal is winning the battlefield position and give
your team the best opportunity to win a football game.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
I know the conference has changed a little bit in
terms of when you're at Texas and now here at Arizona,
but the Big Twelve as a whole in terms of kicking,
punting and that kind of stuff. Is that a conference
where there's a lot of good venues for kicking and
penny or is it a kind of mixed bag in
terms of the venues you'll travel to.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
Well, I say, I think with the addition of the
West Coast schools, it's made it better because the weather's
usually great here to kick in and tim b it's
great to kick in Colorado, it's great to kick Utah
those unless it's cold. You've got pretty good environment to
kick in Houston. No, tell them what you're gonna get

(28:21):
Kansas State, Kansas. You know you may be kicking the
gil force wins. Who knows Iowa State. So it just
depends what you draw within the conference and what the
weather decides to do that day. You go to Fort Worth,
you may have before our rain delay. You go to Houston,
you're play much pretty much guaranteed a rain or lightning delay.
So the conference, as far as kicking, I think the

(28:45):
Western edition of teams can improve some of the situations
you're kicking in.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah, this might be the last question, coach, But according
to you, you and Troy and how you talk about
the kickers, you could go to the very last day
to determine who's who's who and who's one too.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
I think that's as the season goes on. Nothing's ever
you know. In concrete, Uh, each week we'll put the
best guy out there who's doing the best job, and
the competition will keep making guys better. Uh. You know,
you would love for a guy to take the job
over firmly, but I think we're blessed with some really
good alternatives and that's gonna make us better.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
No fantastic choice. You have a last one now.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
I was just gonna kind of wrap it up here,
just your quick thoughts on your Houston Astros. And as
we're coming towards the end of the baseball season getting
into September.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
Josh Hader situation is not good. Eventually, somebody's going to
knock them off. The Mariners that have a lot of
ducks in a row, so it's gonna be interesting, bottle.
I think they'll both make the playoffs, but without Hater
and if they don't get your Navarez back, this maybe

(29:58):
the year that they fall off.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Well okay, well, coach, we appreciate your time, good luck
the rest of the way. We got less than two weeks.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
Appreciate your bear down, take care of coach.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Appreciate you. That was cool. That was good. You can
tell he's he's a good dude.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Yeah, high energy dude.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Energy. That's good. Well, that's mostly like I said, most
of them are.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
They're kind of like you know out there because they're
just kind of you know, frazzle, not frazzle, but you know,
a word like that. Because they have so many games,
games are dependent on that. It's like having a good
soccer team but a bad goalie. You're gonna lose a
lot of games. You need these dudes.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
Nobody notices it until it goes south.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
That's exactly it.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
Kind of what free throw shooting in basketball. Nobody notices
it until it goes really right.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Well, that's a great team. They shoot fifty percent from
the line. They have no chance.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Ye have no chance.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Okay, let's go take a break and maybe taken. No,
we're gonna have another guest here at three forty. You're

the Ludelsen era in my new book, Lessons from It

the coach and the man who led them, competed against them,

(31:07):
and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for his twenty five
years as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons from Loot is an
insight to how he built the program into a national powerhouse.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Hey, welcome back to you on the bout ye old
Fox Sports Sports teams. I'm Steve Rivera in today's choice.
I just said there, and we've got one of the controls.
Is that on the phone, we have James Caesar, the
defensive back for the biggest Nighthawks. James, how are you?

Speaker 5 (35:14):
I'm real good.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
How you doing great? Great? You guys are rolling? What's
going on with that team over there?

Speaker 17 (35:20):
I was just right now. It's just we're clicking at
the right time.

Speaker 5 (35:24):
You know.

Speaker 17 (35:25):
Heading into the playoffs, we wanted to come in with
some momentum. You know, we had to get those last
two games to secure our spot in the playoffs and
secure our season.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
So we wanted to go into the playoffs with some momentum.
So those last couple of games that we played at
the end of the year. I definitely did that for.

Speaker 17 (35:42):
Us, and I just feel like we're we're playing well at.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
The right time. Know all the guys, you know, we're
boughty in and we really want to win a championship.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
So I just feel like we just doing what we
need to do at the right time.

Speaker 5 (35:56):
So we just leaven continue to do that.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
So I don't know Green Bay's schedule, so if I'm
saying anything incorrect, just let me know. Now, you guys
have an advantage of playing in Tucson before. You guys
came down here and played the Sugar Skulls not too
long ago, not too long ago, So just you know,
talk about experiencing that and how that maybe that helps
you for this game this weekend, and just knowing the

(36:19):
area and just not being unaware of the city and
just knowing the place.

Speaker 17 (36:24):
I feel like there's always an advantage, you know, just
when you know the scenery, you've been in the arena, you've.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
Been in that environment before.

Speaker 17 (36:33):
But you know, I feel like this is going to
be a different environment, you know, with the stakes man
what it is, being a championship game. So I definitely
feel like it's going to be a different environment than
a regular season game. But I feel like we do
kind of have a little bit in advantage, you know,
playing playing in that arena.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
So we spoke to the Green Bay coach last week,
I think it was on Friday. He says, well, he
doesn't want to see his offensive game, right, he doesn't
want to see a great offensive game. But but you
guys would like the one, one, and two teams that
score the most in the league.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
So you're a defender. How do you prevent that from happening.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
I just feel like it just goes into the game
plan that we have this week.

Speaker 17 (37:14):
You know, can in on our reeves watching the film
Nong what Grand Bay wants to do and what they're
going to do, and just being in the right positions,
you know, making the players that come to.

Speaker 5 (37:26):
Us, uh, you know, so like we have the best.

Speaker 17 (37:29):
Offense in the league, uh, looking to score points. So
so like we had to do our do our job
as a defense to give them as many possessions as
possible to put points on the board because they.

Speaker 5 (37:40):
Do it so well.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
So obviously, you guys have Jen and DeLaura as your quarterback,
and he's been phenomenal this season for you guys, just
talk about his progression this year and what you've seen
out of him and kind of somewhat of a homecoming
for him this weekend.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
Yeah, most definitely. You know, he having a great year.

Speaker 17 (38:02):
Uh was kind of kind of upset that, you know,
he didn't get the recognition that I felt like he deserved.

Speaker 5 (38:08):
You know, on an All Rookie team, All AFL team.
But like he's really done a great job this year.

Speaker 17 (38:15):
You know, with this dinnis first year in this game.
You know, he's really he's really taking the coaching that
coaching has has been providing for him and just just
continue to get better weekend and week out. You know,
I just feel like he's just clicking at the right time,
and he's got the offense moving at a great pace.
You know, they're they're clicking right now, and like I said,

(38:37):
I feel like they're they're the best offense in the league.
You know, he's wanted the call of catalysts behind that.
So I feel like he's been doing great this year.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
So you you guys are like running well lately.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
You even admitted that was there a point there when
you said, Okay, we got to turn around, guys, some
point in there. Uh, as you said, got that momentum
mid season or whatever because you're a four seed coming in.

Speaker 5 (38:59):
Yeah, yeah, most definitely.

Speaker 17 (39:01):
We feel like midway through the season, uh, you know,
we felt like we didn't have a record that we
felt like we should have, and we want we weren't
playing the way that we were supposed to. We were
losing a couple of tight games. Uh we lost the
games that day, Area, lost a couple of tight games
against San Diego.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
Uh So we just felt like we just needed to
key in on the small details of things and just
just play better.

Speaker 17 (39:28):
On the east side of the ball as well the
special teams as well. Uh, just see to play better.
And I felt like we did that on the back
end of the year and now it has us playing
playing well.

Speaker 4 (39:40):
I was gonna ask specifically defensively, where where do you
think the maybe not changes, but where do where do
you think the extra boost defensively has come, not only
in the playoffs, but over the last several weeks of
the regular season as well.

Speaker 17 (39:56):
I feel like it's just been the focus of the
guys that haven't you know, Like I said, we came
in really really focused one one to make this championship run.
We have a lot of guys back from the team
from last year. You know, we came up short in the.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
First round to Arizona, and we kind of less a
bad taste in our mouth. So we just kind of
just locked in and knew what we had to do
and to go through the.

Speaker 17 (40:20):
Gamlet of the West, you know, we had to we
had to lock in and focus, and we know we
had to play better. So I just felt like that
that's that's what's been a big difference, is to focus
and just just come down and just making those players.
You know, we've been having really good game plans and
then it just comes down to just making those players
on game day.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
So tell me about the position, because it seems to
me that, uh, you know, I'm sure you did this
in college in a position where you guys can see
it up and knocks some heads, But this seems like
this is set up for you guys. I mean, you
guys always under pressure with scores in the backfield, but
you can also you know, lay some people.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
Oh yeah, most definitely.

Speaker 17 (41:01):
Uh yeah, I feel like we definitely have an advantage.
But I feel like this this game is just gonna
come down to execution. You know, we both really well
coached teams, both have really good players. So Saturdays is
going to come down to which which team is going
to execute better, which team doesn't turn the ball over,

(41:23):
which team's going to turn turn the other team over.
So it just come down to the basics of it
of it all in the championship game and in a game,
it is magnitude and not letting.

Speaker 5 (41:33):
The emotions of the game being too high and just just.

Speaker 17 (41:37):
Being even killed throughout the game, and just not not
so treating this as a regular game, but just having
having a focus of.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
You know, this is a game.

Speaker 17 (41:47):
It's a really good team and we have to do
what we need to do. And at the end of this,
if we do, you know, we can we can become
champions and and do something that has never been done
in this franchise history.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
So so let me ask you, what do you guys
play in Vegas? Is you know such a great place
to play, and what's your what's your fan base like?

Speaker 2 (42:06):
And do you expect some people to come down?

Speaker 17 (42:09):
Yeah, so we play at Leads Family for them in Henderson, Nevada, and.

Speaker 5 (42:13):
I feel like we have the best fans in the
I f l You.

Speaker 17 (42:17):
Know, our fans travel really well at our away games.
You know, most of our most of our games out
here on the West Coast. You know, it's not not
too far kind of in a central location. You know,
we played most of our games in California and Arisonners.

Speaker 5 (42:31):
So not too far. So our fans they travel well.

Speaker 17 (42:35):
And from the from the responses that I that I've
been getting from from the fans and the messages that
I've been getting is that they come in.

Speaker 5 (42:43):
So I feel like it's going to be a good crowd.
So like it's going to be an exciting day on Saturday.

Speaker 17 (42:48):
It should be fun.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
You know, you mentioned it's not going to be like
a regular season crowd most likely in terms of the
atmosphere and the environment there. But do you feel like
maybe you guys have not only been on the West
Coast but a little bit of a home field advantage, Gavin,
that Jaden is the quarterback for you guys, and you
might see you of a fans out there reading for
you guys.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
Oh yeah, most definitely.

Speaker 17 (43:11):
You know, we're excited for him, you know, to you know,
make his homecoming. You know, I've been making jokes. You know,
he's the mayor of Tucson, you know, because we did
great things down there. So it's been you know, we've
been enjoying the process of it all, you know, typing
and everything and doing everything that we have to do.
Took care for this game. But we definitely, uh bafinitly

(43:35):
are excited for him to make his return back there,
and you know, we definitely believe that he's going to
do some great things on Saturday and lead us to
a win.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Well, James, we appreciate your time, good luck. We hope
to see a lot of people down here from Vegas
and Green Bay and to make this a great game.

Speaker 17 (43:52):
Yes, sir, thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 5 (43:54):
I appreciate you guys.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Good luck, be safe and that we'll see you soon.

Speaker 17 (43:58):
Yes, thank you.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
James Caesar from the Las Vegas team that's coming down
here at the end of the week. Should be fun,
should be a good one. One's going. I might be going.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
You'll be going to church. I think, are you going
to church? I'll be watching Hawaii? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's a Saturday. Is the same the same same time,
around the same time, okay, okay, what term is The
was around seven thirty thirty. Yeah, should be done by
nine thirty ten. Plenty of time for you to go
have a beverage lead. So yeah, cook, your mom's probably watching.

(44:31):
Oh listen, No, sorry, she's not. Okay, no cool? What
else is going on here? We can finish this up.
Hope they get at least more than four thousand people.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
In that stadium?

Speaker 4 (44:42):
Yeah, how many?

Speaker 5 (44:43):
Seven?

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Seven seven? That's what Jay was saying. They got at
least got at least four. Gotta get at least four.
Make two sound proud? Five thousand, Maybe get some uh
some gimmicks, not gimmicks, but you know, I.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
Think there does help. Do you think so they're not
having a player there and drawing?

Speaker 2 (45:03):
That's just true. We'll see, we'll see. Are you here before?

Speaker 3 (45:06):
I don't know what that kind of brought have no,
And it was just about a month ago. I think
they played here and they won Vegas did so. I
think one of the things that I felt was hoping,
maybe secretly, I know that coach Guy was thinking that
he'd get his Phoenix team down here and rock the
rock the stadium.

Speaker 4 (45:23):
And that not have a really horrible called uh hole.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Did you see the you saw? Did you you didn't
because it was rat you didn't see the post game no,
well speak about the post game epic, Yeah, epic, rand mh.
And he was accurate because it was a bad call.
I guess you got the apology the next day.

Speaker 5 (45:45):
You know.

Speaker 4 (45:46):
You know what you never want to see as an
official is when a coach is that filming and that mad,
and you know he's fright, and then.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
The publicly says you ain't working here again. Ever. It
is what it is.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
Yeah, yeah, okay, anybody want to call? We get about
five minutes, Yeah, about five minutes five two, four, one, six,
seventy four forty Are you going to go to the
game watch?

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Give us a call.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Spring ends really Thursday for not spring Fall training camp Thursday, yep.
And then they kind of do their own stuff the weekend.

Speaker 4 (46:22):
Yeah, then you know, getting into game prep. I think
we're going to see a little bit more game prep
this week as well. At this point in training camp,
you know what you got. I think you have the
idea of what your death chart is going to be,
so you start to slowly prepare for Hawaii, maybe even
prepare this week for Kansas State a little bit as well.

(46:43):
I know there's that we were State game in between. Uh,
but you're looking at Hawaii as the season opener. Weaver
State is kind of like a tune up, and then
Kansas State the full golal.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
And both teams play Saturday. Yep, so they they'll have
that opportunity. They watch some film. I have three letters
for you there, mister Troy, and a you.

Speaker 4 (47:07):
That is true. That is true. But this team is
much more talented. Remember that Nau Arizona to team Oh god,
you know, And I still argue this to this day.
And we used to have people on the message boards
that go, he's the Cats. Tell me I'm crazy. That's
the worst offense line in the program history. That that

(47:28):
that that NAU game. When you're having Nau hold you
to twenty one yards rushing and look like an SEC
all defensive front, you have problems.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
I just remember after that game how Jed looked. It
was like my dogs ran away. It's like, why did
I chant right away that? I think I may have
even written that because I remember when when Luke got here,
and he when he first got here in eighty three,
he was up practicing that one of the first weeks
of practice and he said, puts his hands in his head,
your head in his hands, and he says, what the heck?

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Who was that thinking coming here? I'm sure Jen was
like what am I doing?

Speaker 4 (48:05):
It all works out, but that first year, Yeah, that
first year is always not good. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
They righted the ship and took the ship somewhere else
there was water.

Speaker 4 (48:14):
And then and now he's riding another ship and probably
we'll be taking that chip somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Yeah, you win, you gotta win, you do, and see
what happened, See what happens? What do you say? He
won anything? A lot? I do remember that any of
you game though? That was where were you?

Speaker 5 (48:30):
I was?

Speaker 2 (48:30):
I was a freshman? Were you I was a freshman
in the stands?

Speaker 4 (48:33):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (48:33):
So what did you think there? I wasn't.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
I wasn't surprised. No, I knew any of you had
an opportunity to come and kind of blindside Arizona, and
they did and they did. Yeah, well I kind of
thought towards the middle of the third quart I was like, okay,
this is where they should make their run sure or
start to separate. And when they did it, I was like, well,
here we go again. Do you remember were you in

(48:58):
the press box?

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (48:58):
I'll never forget. I had it on the recording and
I don't have any NAU. Yeah, yeah, that was famous
because I remember that very well. Again, when you when
you have the slogan, uh, we own this state and
you lose to NAU. No, No, the slogan was its
personal personally, that's.

Speaker 5 (49:16):
What it was.

Speaker 4 (49:16):
And the NAU coach just run running out. We own
this state. It's personal, baby. It's like, maybe you want
to change your slogan and you're.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
Right, and you can't do anything about it because they
won the game. It is I remember them getting in
the elevator.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
Oh yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
Okay, are you ready yet? We can go if you
like Steve. I like Steve, so we're gonna go.
