Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nacary, Man, this amazing day offense seemed to be clicking.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
This Russian attack was again the focal point here in
this first first half. Uh, you guys got a gaggle
of running anybody you put in. You guys are finding success.
Duke and Bray got in at the end of the
game doing great. But we talk about today and you
and way Shan sitting the tone early.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Oh yeah, man, just started fast, and you know that's
what I coached preestests are running back because just start
fast because you never know when your time will come,
you know, so just take advantage of your opportunity because
your first time can be your last for me. So
that's what kind of you kind of had that mindset
going on.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
There, Nacary, Bill Riley, and Scott Mitchell upstairs. I got
permission a minute ago to call Ryan r D. Yeah,
can I call you Nak because I heard way Shan
call you nak not not knock, okay knock. So Nacari
rodgers with us here. You know you get you would
go thirteen for sixty one today ran some tough our

(01:00):
g inside. We were talking about this earlier with way Sean.
It really felt like early on and I think you
guys probably do it. You guys were gonna go right downhill, right.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Right right, Yeah, just go north and south. Note we
ain't really do too many perimeterve rounds to day.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
We just was attacking inside the box and just you know,
just it we was the bounce if we was to
bounce it so like, but normally it was just inside
on inside and just punch him in the mouth.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
So yeah, uh, how big a deal is it for
you guys to have this bounce back game? I mean
it was just very impressive from the beginning of the
game all the way through the end. Uh, kind of
walking through you know, the mindset coming into this game
and really answering back after a tough loss last week.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Uh yeah, you know, just you know, the fans and
stuff thought the offense was kind of gonna be the
same from last year. So just kind of proving them wrong,
you know, so just kind of just living up to
our name and knowing who he can be. So just
coming up, like how you said, coming out that tough
air and then just coming back, it was a major
bats back.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
What did it mean for you to see your guy
Devin bounce back after a tough week last week.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
It was good.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
He was in his head a little bit, but you know,
I'm ten toes behind him, you know, at the wind
or be the same person, So like just kind of
seeing him kind of in his head and just leading
on offenses, having that mindset, just the knowing that we
behind him. So yeah, just just him kind of bouncing back.
That was kind of good to see for my job.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
What what did you see from West Virginia today? And
you know what, what what did you feel that you
were able to? Well? I guess why were you able
to succeed against him so effectively?

Speaker 3 (02:37):
I just I was just I was just attacking. Just
I was just thinking just five yards of yards apart.
They had three down front and one in the box.
So I'm just okay, like this is free money. So
I ain't really satisfy. I ain't really getting the box today.
So but anyway, yeah, that's that's kind of what I
what I was just seeing. They had three down, one

(02:58):
in the box.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Leave me the ball.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Your eyes get big when that happens, don't they. Right
by the way, who's down there making you laugh right now?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Others?

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Right? Okay, fair enough, Hey, before I let you go.
I asked this to your other what's it mean for
you to be here at Utah and having the kind
of success you're having with your buddies that you brought
with Coach Back, Coach Simon, r D and Devin. For
you guys to have all been together but now have
more success and build on it here.
