Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're back with Jim More of the Yukon Football Coaches Show.
Mike chris Pinos to get ready for Florida Atlantic down
in Boca Ratona on Saturday afternoon. Coach, I know you're
going south for this game, but I feel like this
is going to be like the Wild Wild West down there.
These guys they throw the ball all over the place. Obviously,
they score over thirty points a game. Their quarterback, Caden
(00:21):
belt Camp, has thrown at four hundred and twenty nine
times this year, twenty touchdowns. I mean, the ball is
going to be in the air, Isn't it an awful lot.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's a lot different than what we saw last week.
That's for sure.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Totally polar opposites what they do offensively, and they both
do it very very well.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Air force and FAU. I mean they you know, they
sling it around.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
They've got great receivers, they've got a really good offensive line.
Your quarterback's a big, long, physical guy. He sees the
field well, has great arm talent, can make all the throws.
He has a receiver that he has great chemistry with
from his days at Western Kentucky. He gets the ball
out of his hand very very quickly. And you know,
I think they're a very complete football team. Very complete
(01:06):
football team, but specific to their offense, they presented a
great challenge. You know, they make you defend the entire
field and they go fast and they've got playmakers all over,
but it all runs through that quarterback.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Caden bilt Camp where's number ten for them? Did transfer
from Western Kentucky. And Jim you're mentioning his size. He's
six to six and he's had a couple of games
where he's completed thirty five passes. That's not small change
against USF which was a top twenty team, and at Tulane.
I think last week he completed thirty nine passes. Yeah,
(01:39):
I mean that is a heck of a number to
throw up there if you're a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Oh, and I'm sure he loves it. You know, quarterbacks
want to throw the ball. And then you know they're
a Florida team. They play on grass. It's Bermuda grass,
it's cut low, it's fast.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
They've got a lot of athletes.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
He plays with a tremendous amount of confidence, which he should.
Coaches have confidence in him. They like putting the ball
in his hands and letting him go. Like I said,
it's a very very talented football team going in.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
They rush for about one hundred and two yards a game,
they throw for three twenty nine. This team, with their
wideouts and number eight Easton Messer's got eighty three catches
five touchdowns. Asad was seen, Junior here was a transfer
from Colorado. He's caught fifty passes. These guys obviously get open.
(02:30):
How much of a challenge is this going to be
for your secondary to keep these guys under some kind
of raps.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well, it's a real challenge.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And you know, when you got a guy like that
playing quarterback and you have the talent they haven't receiver
and the offensive line being as skilled as they are,
it's a real challenge. What we need to do is
have a good combination of kite coverage and hopefully get
pressure on the quarterback. It all starts with coming out
and being able to establish the fact that we are
committed to stopping the run, and then we got to
be able to make some plays, some tough plays, those
(03:00):
close plays, win some fifty to fifty balls. But it's
gonna be I think it's a game that our players
will enjoy playing because it's so different than last week.
You know, I know the secondary will you know, they
like it. It's a challenge and you know, guys are
competitors and they want that challenge.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, this team, FAU were talking about how much they
throw it around, but they have turned it over too.
I mean Caden belt Camp has thrown fourteen interceptions. Yukon
obviously with ten interceptions on the season, plus twelve in
the turnover category. And we talk about this pretty much
(03:41):
every week. Being able to turn them over might turn
the field over and put Yukon's offense in great position.
I think that's what the hope is.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Right, Yeah, that's the hope. We don't go in talking
about getting the ball. We go in talking about doing
our job, being a position. If a play is there,
go make it, and that mess isn't going to change.
So yeah, but I mean, you know, we all know
turnover ratio is one of the critical variables to win
a football game, and so it's something that we certainly
want to happen. But it's not like it's more the
(04:13):
process and the result that will get you what you want.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
This is going to be a bit of a cat
and mouse game. I think defensive coordinators are so important,
and Matt Brock is a really good one. I was
around some good ones over the years. Bill Belichick, Steve Spagnolo,
You have thirty five sacks as a team now, that
just doesn't happen. Obviously, you got to make plays physically,
(04:39):
but don't you have to outguess them a little bit
in terms of when you're going to put extra pressure
on quarterbacks and and force you know, throws that the
quarterback doesn't want to make. Is that part of the
whole process for sure?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
And you know, good coordinators get a feel through film
study of tendencies of play callers on the other side,
and then you hope that they guess right. And when
they guess right, you hope that the players are in
the positions they need to be to make the play.
And you hope that when you guess wrong, your players
will bail you out. And so, you know, it's a
(05:15):
combination of those things because you're never going to be
right one hundred percent of the time when you're in
a guessing game. I think it's and I don't think
it's necessarily should referred to as a guessing game. It's
just film study and knowledge of tendencies, but you can't
possibly get every call right.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And when you have good football.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Players that understand your defense and they understand the strengths
and the weaknesses of each call versus what opponents are
trying to do, then you have a group of guys
that can bail you out if you don't make a
very good call.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Are the Owls of team that will check down and
throw out in the flats to their running backs.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Listen, Mike, when you throw it as much as they
have thrown it in the past, you're spreading around, you know,
and it's a I don't know if they define it
as a take what you give you offense, but I
think every offense, you know, every good offense, and they
are a very good offense. You know, they have systems
built for every particular that you might.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Show them on defense.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
So getting the ball to the backs, you know, on
check downs, getting to the ball to their playmakers in space.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
That's what good offensive.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Coordinators do, is they get the ball to their playmakers
in space and then the players go to make plays.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And that's what Fau has been able to do all right.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
The Owls and the Huskies getting after its Saturday afternoon,
Don and Boca Ratone. Should be good, weather, should be
a fast track. It should be an exciting football game
thanks to Jim Mora. We've got to Umar Dimonde coming up,
Jackson Harper as well, so stay tuned. Coach, good luck
this weekend, Go get them.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Thank you guys, take care of Mike.
Speaker 1 (06:46):

we continue our coverage. If you con football, now eight
