Jaren HallGUEST
36:53
Um, but they're, they're an overall great, all around great team.
Jaren HallGUEST
36:55
You know, if you watched their game last week against NAU, um, we'll see if that's the kind of the approach they take on the defensive side of being very aggressive and pressure and bear or not, but they've just got a lot of good players, and they, they're solid coaching.
Jaren HallGUEST
37:07
They had a great turnaround season last year from '24, so they're trending in the right direction.
Spencer LintonHOST
37:11
Jaren, naturally BYU fans are feeling a little bit of hesitation about the Cougars past defense because you lose Raider Demoney, and now you're welcoming in the preseason best quarterback in the Big 12 in Noah Fifita.

Jarom JordanHOST
84:25
But yeah, turnovers were a big deal in this game.
Jarom JordanHOST
84:27
I know it's Tuesday, but, uh, yeah.
Jarom JordanHOST
84:29
And against NAU, you know, dominated.
Jarom JordanHOST
84:31
That's a top 25 FCS team.
Damon FairallGUEST
5:14
Like maybe they were overlooking Tulsa thinking that it was going to be a walk in the park when all they had to do was turn on last year's tape and say, this is a team that could easily beat Oklahoma State.
Damon FairallGUEST
5:25
You have Noel Fafita still talking about NAU and them even making it close and saying, we got to keep this...
Damon FairallGUEST
5:34
Game as in the front of our minds rather than jumping to week two against BYU in the preseason because they even kept it close, let alone be Oklahoma State.
Damon FairallGUEST
5:44
So, yeah, it's almost unacceptable.

19 MINS LATER

Damon FairallGUEST
24:40
So yeah, again, I've said it on the pod.
Damon FairallGUEST
24:43
I said it on the post game last week.
Damon FairallGUEST
24:45
If you play like you did against NAU against BYU, you're going to lose.
Anthony TotriHOST
24:48
Yeah,
Damon FairallHOST
5:09

Damon FairallHOST

You have Noel Fafita still talking about NAU and them even making it close and saying, we got to keep this... game in the front of our minds rather than jumping to week two against BYU in the preseason because they even kept it close, let alone beat Oklahoma State.
Damon FairallHOST
5:39
So, yeah, it's almost unacceptable.
Damon FairallHOST
5:41

18 MINS LATER

Damon FairallHOST
24:35
So, yeah, again, I've said it on the pod.
Damon FairallHOST
24:38
I said it on the postgame last week.
Damon FairallHOST
24:40
If you play like you did against NAU, against BYU, you're going to lose.
Anthony TotriHOST
24:43
Yeah,
Ben CriddleHOST
1:43
Starting it right off.
Ben CriddleHOST
1:44
Well, what did you learn about the squad? What did you learn about this U of A team from week one versus NAU?
Brian JeffriesGUEST
1:51
Well, I think offensively they were efficient.
Brian JeffriesGUEST
1:53
They did what they needed to do.
Brian JeffriesGUEST
1:54
They beat NAU 35-7.
Brian JeffriesGUEST
1:56
They probably could have scored another touchdown there into the first half, but a turnover negated that, and the only points given up were on a pick six.
Brian JeffriesGUEST
2:05
to the backup quarterback.
Brian JeffriesGUEST
2:52
But just the same, you go out and do your job and get a win, and that's what it's all about.
Jason ShearerGUEST
7:51
Yeah, I mean, we're going to find out.
Jason ShearerGUEST
7:52
You know, NAU has a good quarterback and a pretty good passing game, but it's not BYU.
Jason ShearerGUEST
7:56
It's not BYU up front or, you know, just overall talent.
Jason ShearerGUEST
8:00
So Arizona's strategy was to basically blitz the heck out of NAU and make the quarterback's life miserable.
Jason ShearerGUEST
8:05
And that might be the case this week.
Jason ShearerGUEST
8:07
I don't know.
Jason ShearerGUEST
8:26
I think he's one of the best overall defenders on the roster.
Jason ShearerGUEST
8:29
Quinn Olsen was a former walk-on.
Jason ShearerGUEST
7:51
Yeah, I mean, we're going to find out.
Jason ShearerGUEST
7:52
You know, NAU has a good quarterback and a pretty good passing game, but it's not BYU.

Quinn Olsen was a former walk-on.
Kalani SitakeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
33:23
And those guys are prepared.
Kalani SitakeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
33:25
And they're assignment sound, and that's the reason why they – pretty much shut out NAU.
Kalani SitakeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
33:32
They're disruptive.
Kalani SitakeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
33:35
They're not easy to go up against, but it's going to require for us to be really disciplined and for us to be assignment sound.
Brett HammerHOST
38:04
this 100% was planned.
Brett HammerHOST
38:07
I know there's a lot of moving pieces.
Brett HammerHOST
38:11
This 1,000% was planned to happen during the BYU week because there's no way they're putting these guys out there for NAU.
Brett HammerHOST
38:20
No, they want to surprise BYU.
Mike LukeHOST
10:05
I would say he
Jason ScheerHOST
10:06
was really good against NAU.
Jason ScheerHOST
10:08
Graded out really well, played well, but NAU ain't BYU.
Mike LukeHOST
10:11
Yes, okay.
Mike LukeHOST
10:13
So, yes, BYU is a different elephant than Rhino's gone against.
Mike LukeHOST
12:10
How about that, Shear?
Jason ScheerHOST
12:12
Well, I mean, I get it.
Jason ScheerHOST
12:13
Arizona lost to NAU and people are still having to recover.
Kevin ThomasHOST
11:55
So I'm sure he's in really good shape still.
Kevin ThomasHOST
11:57
But, you know, you just want to make sure that these guys like BYU is not NAU, like, you know, respectfully to the Lumberjacks.
Kevin ThomasHOST
12:04
But you can't just like throw these guys out there against BYU in a super high leverage road environment unless they're ready for that.
Kevin ThomasHOST
12:11
So I am curious myself, like, yes, they've been practicing, but to what extent and how ready are they to play this weekend? Is it kind of just like wheeling out some new toys? You know what I mean? Like, hey, they're going on a trip and they're going to be on the sideline on Saturday.
Hrvoje MoricHOST
28:04
And so does Iceland go to the European Union, TechNate? Or, you know, does it go to the North American? Does Greenland go to EU or...
Hrvoje MoricHOST
28:16
NAU doesn't matter because remember, at the end of the day, Clarence Strait Union, now Atlantic Union, the end goal is to unify North American Union and European Union into one.
Hrvoje MoricHOST
28:28
So at the end of the day, all of this is, it's like Lucha Libre.
Hrvoje MoricHOST
28:31
