Welcome back to the Yukon Football Coaches Show.

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