00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,280
 It's time for UNA Football Night from Lost Pizza. For the next hour, we'll go in-depth as we talk to your University of North Alabama Lions.

2
00:00:13,140 --> 00:00:28,720
 UNA Football Night from Lost Pizza is brought to you by Lost Pizza Shoals, Burnley Spine and Sport, Singing River Brewery, Southern Pride Pest Control, Alabama Health Guidance, The Carriage Wine and Market,

3
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:37,940
 and Brown Equipment Company. Live from Lost Pizza in historic downtown Florence, here's the voice of the Lions, Benjamin Ray.

4
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:48,480
 Hello friends and welcome back to another week of UNA Football Night from Lost Pizza Shoals. I'm Benjamin Ray alongside Mike Ezekiel.

5
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:57,100
 Tonight we're going to be joined by North Alabama head football coach Brent Dierman, utility man Ty Watkins and the captain number 44, Jaheim Ingram.

6
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:07,040
 Mike, we're coming off of homecoming, an unbelievable week starting from Purple Pandemonium to the alumni celebration Friday night, Hall of Fame Saturday.

7
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,620
 Tons of people were on campus, the parade as well. It was an unbelievable week.

8
00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:23,900
 Yeah, you know, I always say this, I think Hall of Fame weekend is my favorite part of the year because we get to see all of the past players that and coaches that succeeded at a high level for North Alabama, a room full of tradition.

9
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:34,860
 And that's always special and we had a great class going this year, even on the football side with AJ Milwee, Luke Wingo, Lamonte Thompson, the guys that were pretty much playing when you and I were on campus, Ben.

10
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,600
 So it's really exciting to see that and the other sports that were represented as well.

11
00:01:38,860 --> 00:01:50,440
 My favorite part of the night, though, was looking down from the press box down to the Pines and to see thousands of people just packed out on Pine Street under the tents, just mingling, hanging out.

12
00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:56,120
 How full the stadium was with 12,000 fans, it was truly special.

13
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:59,220
 Maybe topped everything I thought we topped.

14
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:07,800
 It was going to be hard to top anything we did in the first home game, but to see that crowd and to see the tailgate, I mean, it was unbelievable.

15
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:09,400
 And it was a great ball game.

16
00:02:09,540 --> 00:02:14,780
 Unfortunately, North Alabama came up on the wrong end of just a fantastic college football game.

17
00:02:14,780 --> 00:02:18,540
 All to be a top 10 team, went down to the wire in the fourth quarter.

18
00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:19,600
 Crowd was into it.

19
00:02:19,660 --> 00:02:21,720
 It was a great showing from North Alabama, Mike.

20
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,340
 Tough loss, but again, the good thing is with, what, four games left, we still got a lot of goals we can achieve.

21
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,980
 That's right, and again, Coach Dierman said this a lot.

22
00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:30,820
 No moral victories.

23
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,960
 We're not going to celebrate a loss or say, oh, we played close, this or that.

24
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,100
 But what we can say is the opponent we played in that game is definitely a top 10 team.

25
00:02:40,180 --> 00:02:40,880
 They proved that.

26
00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:46,000
 To me, Ben, I think they're going to be hosting a playoff game, if not maybe getting a bye in the playoffs.

27
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,980
 That's a really, really good football team.

28
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,760
 And I think it says a lot about the talent that's in the UAC, but also the talent that's on this North Alabama team.

29
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,280
 This is a talented football team.

30
00:02:55,820 --> 00:03:00,520
 Everything's still ahead, and we're not going to look ahead with Coach Dierman and the team because they only focus one week at a time.

31
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,700
 But for us, you've got everything ahead of you.

32
00:03:03,020 --> 00:03:04,180
 Playoffs are still in reach.

33
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,100
 You've got a lot to accomplish here.

34
00:03:06,220 --> 00:03:08,260
 And it really starts this week with Central Arkansas.

35
00:03:08,260 --> 00:03:11,760
 You win that game, you can get momentum back for the rest of the season.

36
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,760
 That's where we're headed next, Conway, Arkansas, Estes Stadium to play on the stripes.

37
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,960
 Every five yards, it changes from purple to silver.

38
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:23,060
 It's one of the more unique fields in college football.

39
00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:24,080
 It's fun to go to Conway.

40
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:29,200
 We're going to get some hog pen barbecue, one of our favorite places to stop on the roads here, our good friend Dennis.

41
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,760
 If you're going out there, stop at hog pen barbecue with us there on Friday or Saturday.

42
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:38,640
 Speaking of food, Mike, and tailgating, Katie is back with us.

43
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,100
 She was off last week.

44
00:03:40,460 --> 00:03:49,020
 She had a phenomenal fill-in, and she's back tonight with more goodies, and I'm liking what I'm seeing here out of the gate.

45
00:03:49,380 --> 00:03:53,760
 We've got a skillet cookie, and we've got something else that she's going to tell us about.

46
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,320
 We've got our own dips, too, Ben.

47
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,020
 I love that.

48
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:02,080
 Katie, what kind of delightful treats have you brought us here on this Halloween week?

49
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:03,200
 What are these goodies?

50
00:04:03,420 --> 00:04:09,860
 All right, we've got the skillet cookie, just a giant eight-inch skillet cookie you share with all of your friends and family or just yourself.

51
00:04:10,260 --> 00:04:12,000
 And then we've got our tamale dip.

52
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:19,040
 Now, this is not on the menu yet, but it's our queso dip and tamales blended into the queso dip with our tortilla chips.

53
00:04:19,180 --> 00:04:20,500
 Ooh, that sounds interesting.

54
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,000
 Tamales blended in.

55
00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:23,860
 Is that something that you could order?

56
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:25,020
 Not yet.

57
00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:30,040
 We're working on it, but this is something that Chuck has done for Caterings in the past, and it is so, so good.

58
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:31,620
 Well, I like having this a la mode.

59
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,620
 That's exciting.

60
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,360
 That is Daniel ice cream, right?

61
00:04:34,380 --> 00:04:36,440
 Yes, ice cream and then caramel and chocolate.

62
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:36,960
 Oh.

63
00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:37,980
 Let's go.

64
00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:39,160
 Ivy, I brought my daughter up here.

65
00:04:39,220 --> 00:04:39,920
 This is Ivy.

66
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:40,540
 Say hi.

67
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,500
 This isn't Batgirl.

68
00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:42,320
 This is Ivy.

69
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,320
 She's got her Halloween costume on tonight.

70
00:04:44,380 --> 00:04:44,900
 She had ballet.

71
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:50,520
 She's a cookie connoisseur, so she wants to get a bite of this skillet cookie.

72
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,780
 Oh, she got shy.

73
00:04:51,980 --> 00:04:53,200
 I embarrassed her.

74
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:54,320
 I'm sorry, Ivy.

75
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,860
 I'll save a cookie for you during the break.

76
00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:58,580
 I'm going to go for the dip.

77
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,740
 I'm going in for the cookie and then the dip.

78
00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:02,660
 I'm going to do both.

79
00:05:02,660 --> 00:05:02,960
 Dessert first.

80
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,140
 Dessert first.

81
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:04,500
 Always.

82
00:05:04,620 --> 00:05:05,400
 That's a good point.

83
00:05:05,740 --> 00:05:07,400
 I could always be talked into dessert first.

84
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,400
 Got to get a little bit of the ice cream in there.

85
00:05:09,460 --> 00:05:10,500
 Good day to be a big back.

86
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,280
 Here we go.

87
00:05:16,580 --> 00:05:18,520
 Warm, the ice cream on top.

88
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,720
 That one's my favorite, for sure.

89
00:05:21,260 --> 00:05:26,460
 My only regret was not getting the ice cream on the bite, but I did try the cookie and it's amazing.

90
00:05:26,580 --> 00:05:27,300
 This is really good.

91
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,840
 I mean, that is a top-tier dessert right there.

92
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:33,140
 And again, this is all available as part of the tailgate packages.

93
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:34,960
 How busy were you guys on Saturday?

94
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:36,300
 Saturday was crazy.

95
00:05:36,580 --> 00:05:38,400
 I clocked into work and I did not leave.

96
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,860
 I was here all day.

97
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,380
 It was crazy.

98
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,400
 It was so awesome to see so much happening downtown.

99
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,840
 And then I took a few tailgates down to the stadium and the energy was just electric.

100
00:05:46,940 --> 00:05:47,980
 It was so awesome to see.

101
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,660
 That's great queso, too.

102
00:05:50,740 --> 00:05:52,880
 You hear the crunch and the chips from Mike and I.

103
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:58,760
 It's got a little, like a small kick from the tamales, I assume, but it's not bad.

104
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,340
 It's on the secret menu, right?

105
00:06:00,380 --> 00:06:01,380
 You've got to request this.

106
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:03,620
 It's not on our menu yet, but hopefully we're working on it.

107
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,360
 I'm trying to put together the flavor of how to describe it.

108
00:06:06,460 --> 00:06:07,740
 It reminds me of my childhood.

109
00:06:08,460 --> 00:06:09,460
 I feel like this is something that...

110
00:06:09,460 --> 00:06:10,420
 Mike just went back in time.

111
00:06:10,420 --> 00:06:13,820
 Yeah, like in the best way possible.

112
00:06:14,020 --> 00:06:15,380
 It's nostalgia in a bowl.

113
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:21,440
 I'm thinking of some of those tamales, burritos I had growing up that were homemade.

114
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:25,800
 To put that into queso, oh man, it takes it to another level.

115
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:26,560
 This is really good.

116
00:06:26,940 --> 00:06:28,000
 All right, Katie, one more time.

117
00:06:28,060 --> 00:06:30,080
 Tell us, how can fans add this to their tailgate?

118
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:31,900
 Because we still have two more home games to go.

119
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:32,520
 Sweet.

120
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:35,880
 Yeah, so we've got tailgate menus online, in person.

121
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,500
 You can go to Instagram or Facebook to see those online, see everything we've got,

122
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:42,680
 and then you'll just call us, either me or Jaina here at the store.

123
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:45,220
 We'll get you set up and we'll bring everything right to you.

124
00:06:45,460 --> 00:06:46,440
 That sounds like a plan.

125
00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:47,180
 Hit them up.

126
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,360
 Skillet cookie, the tamale dip.

127
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,720
 It is unbelievable stuff.

128
00:06:50,780 --> 00:06:51,940
 Always great food down here.

129
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,860
 This is our favorite segment.

130
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,500
 We love talking football all night, but this is Mike and I's favorite segment right here,

131
00:06:56,940 --> 00:06:57,600
 getting to eat.

132
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,540
 All right, we'll see if Ivy wants a bite of the cookie during the commercial break.

133
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,540
 And when we come back, we'll have Brent Dierman up here with us for our first round of conversations

134
00:07:04,540 --> 00:07:05,320
 with Coach.

135
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,060
 This is U&A Football Night from Lost Pizza Shoals on 93.9 The Score.

 That's why Lost Pizza Company Shoals put together the tailgate playbook specialty pizzas, wing

 Get comfortable.

166
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,240
 Football season is back at the carriage.

167
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,020
 There are a few things we love more than a good Saturday in the South, and football season

168
00:09:21,020 --> 00:09:22,740
 is officially back at the carriage.

169
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,080
 All season long, we'll have the games rolling with plenty of cold drinks, good food, and a

170
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,940
 comfortable spot to settle in for a quarter, a game, or the better part of the day.

171
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:37,220
 Game day Saturdays get $5 craft drafts, $2 off wine slushies, perhaps a mimosas, and game

172
00:09:37,220 --> 00:09:38,240
 day bites from the kitchen.

173
00:09:38,460 --> 00:09:43,440
 Stock up in our markets before kickoff with plenty of snacks, dips, cheeses, something sweet,

174
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:45,420
 and all the good stuff for your game day spread.

175
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,420
 Football season looks pretty good from the carriage on East Mobile Street in historic downtown Florence.

176
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:53,080
 Well, you know what happens when the seasons change.

177
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:55,580
 The pests come looking for a place to stay.

178
00:09:55,820 --> 00:09:57,080
 Don't give them an invitation.

179
00:09:57,580 --> 00:10:00,400

 Protecting what you're proud of.

187
00:10:22,180 --> 00:10:24,180
 When you have pests, we have solutions.

188
00:10:29,540 --> 00:10:34,940
 The fun's just getting started down here at Lost Pizza Shoals in historic downtown Florence.

189
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:37,780
 Benjamin Ray, Mikey Zico back with it for you in a football night.

190
00:10:38,140 --> 00:10:40,940
 And we've got head football coach Brent Dierman up here with us.

191
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:47,640
 And coach, it was homecoming week, over 12,000 people in attendance, a lot of former players back.

192
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:54,180
 I know you've been busy at home games, meeting with people before, but also a tough ball game

193
00:10:54,180 --> 00:10:57,240
 against a number nine-ranked team in the nation in all seven pages.

194
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,760
 What were your takeaways from Saturday?

195
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,820
 I thought the university did a fantastic job.

196
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:07,720
 I thought the city, this community, our supporters, it was electric in that stadium.

197
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:14,820
 You know, I got to hang out, Ronald McKinnon, Israel, Red Cross, came to our walk-through at 10 o'clock.

198
00:11:14,940 --> 00:11:16,500
 You were out there and got to see them as well.

199
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,500
 To go to the Hall of Fame breakfast, got to hang out with Wingo and those guys.

200
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,940
 Got to see Coach Wallace, got to see Cody Gross.

201
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,200
 There were so many faces.

202
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,840
 There was so much energy in the weekend.

203
00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:35,380
 Just disappointed you weren't able to come out with a win.

204
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,420
 Excited for the fight that our guys showed and battling a tough opponent.

205
00:11:42,060 --> 00:11:43,500
 But we got to win those football games.

206
00:11:44,460 --> 00:11:47,320
 Yeah, can definitely respect that perspective there, Coach.

207
00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:52,060
 Going back to the early part of the day with Ronald McKinnon on campus and some of the other guys,

208
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,860
 there's a photo that was circulating that Ben showed us, and Mike Johnson was looking at it too.

209
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,160
 Josh Wyatt, who's maybe obviously the biggest guy on the team, one of the biggest guys a lot of people have seen.

210
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,800
 And he's standing there with Israel Rabon, who's almost towering over him.

211
00:12:05,860 --> 00:12:07,700
 It's unbelievable how big those guys are.

212
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,980
 Yeah, every time I see Israel, I feel even smaller than I am.

213
00:12:12,540 --> 00:12:14,720
 Just a massive human being.

214
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,940
 You know, Red Cross is not small at all either.

215
00:12:17,420 --> 00:12:20,400
 But Israel standing beside anybody is going to make you look small.

216
00:12:20,620 --> 00:12:27,320
 And I purposely brought Josh and Jaheim over with Josh being probably one of our bigger guys on the team.

217
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,600
 And he's still three inches shorter than Israel.

218
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,560
 And I tried to dress Israel out on the goal line a couple times.

219
00:12:34,660 --> 00:12:35,380
 They wouldn't let me do it.

220
00:12:35,620 --> 00:12:40,380
 But, man, it's just exciting seeing those guys and knowing the talent that they had.

221
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:45,240
 And it showed still to this day the physical talent that they show.

222
00:12:45,540 --> 00:12:48,400
 It was pretty cool, Coach, seeing all those interactions.

223
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,380
 And Ronald and Israel both kind of reported back to Jeff Hodges afterwards, like, man, that was incredible.

224
00:12:53,460 --> 00:12:54,580
 We've got to get back more.

225
00:12:54,660 --> 00:12:56,740
 I found myself very emotional throughout that.

226
00:12:56,740 --> 00:13:00,840
 I imagine they felt a lot of emotions a lot of people felt in game number one.

227
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:03,440
 But then you've got Luke Wingo, Lamonte Thompson back.

228
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:05,560
 We've got guys from the 80s coming back.

229
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,860
 I mean, it's got to feel good to continue to have that North Alabama football connection.

230
00:13:09,220 --> 00:13:09,680
 Yeah, it is.

231
00:13:09,780 --> 00:13:11,200
 And you talked about the week before.

232
00:13:11,340 --> 00:13:14,540
 I mean, a guy that I got some history with was Fred Riley coming back in town.

233
00:13:16,060 --> 00:13:20,160
 One of the better quarterbacks in a championship era time as well.

234
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,820
 This program has so much great history.

235
00:13:23,820 --> 00:13:28,280
 And to just highlight a couple guys would not be doing everybody the service.

236
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,780
 And so many greats have walked through that building, walked through that locker room.

237
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,180
 And we're excited to get him back at any time.

238
00:13:35,820 --> 00:13:37,380
 Love to have guys come to practice.

239
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,920
 Love to have guys around our team, speaking to our team.

240
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:43,300
 I've tried to get Red Cross over a couple times.

241
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,960
 If he's listening tonight, I'm calling you out again to come over and talk to the team.

242
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:54,880
 But just trying to get the history and the greatness that's come through this building around our guys more often.

243
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,600
 And before we get into the game, Coach, let's talk a little bit about tailgate, too.

244
00:13:58,660 --> 00:14:01,960
 I know you walked through Lion Walk and probably got a glimpse of what it was.

245
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:09,380
 But when you were in the stadium and we were kind of all looking still out at tailgate with about 30 minutes before the game, there was thousands of people out there.

246
00:14:09,460 --> 00:14:13,640
 Even during the game, you could look and there were thousands of people still watching from Pine Street.

247
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,760
 There were 12,000 fans in attendance.

248
00:14:15,980 --> 00:14:19,360
 I mean, just to have that environment in this stadium had to really help the team a little bit.

249
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:19,920
 It did.

250
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,400
 It was, to me, it was the most electric environment we've had.

251
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:27,160
 You know, I thought it outdid even the first game in the stadium.

252
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:34,160
 I think when the opening kickoff was happening, I looked up at Pine Street either right before or right after the kickoff happened.

253
00:14:34,220 --> 00:14:37,260
 And there were still thousands of people standing on Pine Street tailgating.

254
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,780
 Just it feels like a big-time Division I feel.

255
00:14:41,780 --> 00:14:56,140
 And this university, this program, this athletic department have done an unbelievable job of creating a game-day environment that not only energizes our team, but it energizes campus.

256
00:14:56,740 --> 00:14:59,460
 It energizes the city of Florence.

257
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,620
 So hats off to all them.

258
00:15:02,380 --> 00:15:06,440
 So, Coach, as we kind of look ahead, not too far ahead because we've got Central Arkansas on Saturday.

259
00:15:06,620 --> 00:15:14,320
 Despite the tough losses the last two weeks, there's still a lot that this team can achieve in terms of the goals that you guys want to meet this season.

260
00:15:14,620 --> 00:15:15,060
 Yeah, there is.

261
00:15:15,140 --> 00:15:17,780
 We met on Sunday, and we said, guys, here's reality.

262
00:15:18,260 --> 00:15:21,580
 You had two tough losses to two teams that are now both in the top 25.

263
00:15:21,780 --> 00:15:24,740
 You lost to Abilene, I think, is at number 24 now.

264
00:15:24,860 --> 00:15:26,400
 They've been back-to-back champions in our league.

265
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,800
 Austin Peay is at number eight now.

266
00:15:29,180 --> 00:15:31,380
 Had a chance to get a win against both of those guys.

267
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,420
 Can't go back.

268
00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:33,620
 Can't do nothing to change that.

269
00:15:33,620 --> 00:15:37,880
 But we're going to lay a path out in front of us that, number one, it starts with UCA.

270
00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:40,120
 We're not looking past UCA in any kind of way.

271
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,400
 It's a really good football team.

272
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:42,900
 You've got to beat UCA.

273
00:15:43,340 --> 00:15:46,460
 But eight wins typically gets you in the FCS playoffs.

274
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:47,880
 And we're sitting at four and four.

275
00:15:48,260 --> 00:15:49,260
 I'm a math major.

276
00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:52,780
 And by my math, four more games, you're four and four.

277
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,660
 That gets us to eight wins if you can.

278
00:15:54,940 --> 00:15:58,940
 So there's still a mathematical way that we can get everything that we still want.

279
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,740
 But we've got to take care of business every single day.

280
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:07,220
 I kind of got reminded, some of the older guys in the room, Keith, the old movie Major League.

281
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,760
 Remember when they were slumping and they needed to win and they brought in the life-size picture of the owner.

282
00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:14,900
 I thought about doing something like that where you peel.

283
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:17,880
 Every time we win a day at practice, we peel a section.

284
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,140
 So we've just got to win every day.

285
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,500
 That's all we can focus on right now.

286
00:16:21,780 --> 00:16:23,540
 Well, Coach, there's only one thing left to do.

287
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:24,900
 And I won't say the rest on air.

288
00:16:26,540 --> 00:16:26,900
 Absolutely.

289
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,260
 Can't show that picture either.

290
00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:29,280
 Yeah, that's right.

291
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,060
 Well, let's talk about the offense.

292
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,040
 I mean, it seems like the last two weeks, it's really hitting its stride.

293
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,920
 368 yards the week before.

294
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:43,620
 And I believe winning the offensive battle again this week as well.

295
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:44,880
 It seems like you're running the ball well.

296
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,440
 It seems like things are just really starting to work.

297
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,920
 You know, if I would have told you before the game that we were going to take a top-10 offense

298
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:58,500
 and a top-10 defense, and we were going to have more yards than them, we were going to be tied with them on third down,

299
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,660
 we were going to be three for three on fourth down conversions, you would have said we would have won that football game.

300
00:17:04,020 --> 00:17:10,940
 And we took, you know, their offense and defense statistically were both top-10 on respective sides of the ball.

301
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,240
 So, I was proud of the way we played, but there's still little details.

302
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,440
 You know, we have a 21-play drive.

303
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,420
 I've never had a 21-play drive in my life.

304
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,800
 We have a 21-play drive before half that we have to get points out of that drive.

305
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:27,300
 We hold the ball for nine minutes in the second quarter.

306
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,840
 We do not give their offense a chance to get on the field.

307
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,500
 Then we come out of halftime, we have another long drive where we score points on.

308
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,060
 And I think that there was a collection, what did you say, 30, 32 plays that our offense was on the field.

309
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,660
 Yeah, 32.

310
00:17:39,860 --> 00:17:41,700
 But their offense didn't get a chance to get on the field.

311
00:17:41,820 --> 00:17:45,920
 So, we did some good things, but if you catch the post-ball in the fourth quarter,

312
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,340
 if you get on the muff punt, if you don't have a holding call in the red zone,

313
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,900
 there's so many what-if kind of moments that really would have put this game away

314
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:57,680
 that our guys realized that we missed out on.

315
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,080
 Coach, let's talk about the quarterback, Destin Wade.

316
00:18:00,180 --> 00:18:01,760
 Everybody wants to talk about the quarterback.

317
00:18:02,060 --> 00:18:05,280
 Last year against Austin Peay, he played a really good game,

318
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:06,720
 but he also threw three interceptions.

319
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,320
 This year, first or second play of the game, right,

320
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:12,440
 he throws an interception that sets up a touchdown for them,

321
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,500
 and you're thinking, oh, no, here we go again with Destin versus Austin Peay.

322
00:18:15,860 --> 00:18:18,880
 But instead, he kind of took off from that point forward,

323
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,420
 and this is back-to-back weeks where Destin's probably played like one of the best quarterbacks in FCS football.

324
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:27,400
 Yeah, I thought the first quarter of the game, I don't know if it was nerves.

325
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,100
 I'll tell you this, their Mike linebacker made a heck of a play on that play.

326
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:33,780
 They brought a boundary blitz.

327
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,180
 The field Mike linebacker pushes to replace the blitz.

328
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:40,360
 So Destin would have never saw him to begin with.

329
00:18:40,420 --> 00:18:43,060
 He's reading the boundary safety, has the right read, throws it.

330
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:44,160
 The guy makes a heck of a play.

331
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,360
 That's football.

332
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:52,100
 And then I thought the next drive, we had a pass play to Snap Reed on our sideline where Destin sailed it.

333
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:54,380
 One of the worst those I've probably ever seen him make.

334
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,900
 Three yards high, three yards wide.

335
00:18:56,340 --> 00:18:57,560
 Snap couldn't even put his hands on it.

336
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:02,140
 And it was about that time I got on the headset to Coach Partridge and said, hey, I don't know what it is.

337
00:19:02,180 --> 00:19:02,860
 He ain't here yet.

338
00:19:03,020 --> 00:19:04,060
 We need to settle him down.

339
00:19:04,220 --> 00:19:05,720
 We need to figure out what's going on.

340
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,440
 And then we started doing some quarterback run game and kind of got him loose.

341
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,480
 And then he played unbelievable the rest of that football game.

342
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,420
 So, you know, like you said, last year we probably would have never got him back.

343
00:19:16,420 --> 00:19:23,000
 And this year, being a senior, mature kid, we're figuring out a little bit of him, too, of what we need to do for him.

344
00:19:23,660 --> 00:19:26,480
 Settled him in, and he played a really good football game.

345
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,680
 Seems like he's just really in his element when he's running the ball well.

346
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,000
 And he's done that the last two weeks and has had some really hearty performances.

347
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:35,920
 Let's talk about Xavier Johnson a little bit.

348
00:19:35,940 --> 00:19:36,540
 I'll say this, too.

349
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:36,720
 Oh, go ahead.

350
00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:39,580
 I think our fans like hearing things like this.

351
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,720
 Destin is not a talker.

352
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,560
 If you've been around Destin a lot, he doesn't talk much.

353
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,580
 And Destin got a 15-yard penalty in this game.

354
00:19:48,580 --> 00:19:51,260
 I don't ever question officiating, by the way.

355
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,120
 If you ever watch me on the sideline, I never question officiating anyway.

356
00:19:55,140 --> 00:19:56,100
 Never seen. I got a laugh.

357
00:19:56,420 --> 00:19:59,120
 But we draw them off sides, and they don't call it.

358
00:19:59,220 --> 00:20:02,060
 So Destin looks around at the white hat and is asking,

359
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,640
 hey, why didn't y'all call all sides?

360
00:20:04,020 --> 00:20:07,380
 Their field defensive end starts trash-talking Destin.

361
00:20:07,660 --> 00:20:10,100
 And you can see it for about 10, 15 seconds.

362
00:20:10,220 --> 00:20:11,940
 He is yelling across the line at Destin.

363
00:20:12,460 --> 00:20:15,840
 Destin proceeds to get the snap and throw a 30-yard bomb

364
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,160
 in the middle of the field of snap read.

365
00:20:17,620 --> 00:20:20,820
 Well, Destin went and found that kid and basically said,

366
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,320
 how about that? What do you think about that throw?

367
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,620
 Doesn't push him, doesn't headbutt him, doesn't do anything.

368
00:20:25,940 --> 00:20:26,760
 Doesn't cuss him.

369
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,660
 Just said, hey, how about that?

370
00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:29,980
 They throw a penalty on him.

371
00:20:30,180 --> 00:20:32,600
 And I kind of got upset about that one.

372
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,660
 Because I was excited to see the fire in Destin Wade in that moment.

373
00:20:37,820 --> 00:20:40,820
 For a kid that isn't a fiery guy for the most part,

374
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:45,160
 to make that throw and to see that whole stadium,

375
00:20:45,340 --> 00:20:47,860
 see our starting quarterback have a little fire to him,

376
00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:49,080
 I was excited for it.

377
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,160
 Sounds a little bit like Phillip Rivers,

378
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,500
 the way he used to talk after big plays like that.

379
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,220
 Yeah, you like that.

380
00:20:55,260 --> 00:20:56,340
 Sometimes you got to let them know.

381
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:56,700
 Yeah.

382
00:20:57,020 --> 00:21:00,120
 Well, and remind me, was it the Xavier Johnson touchdown

383
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:02,900
 where Destin got roughed on that play and got up

384
00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:04,240
 and then he did the Phillip Rivers?

385
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,440
 I'm sure, Destin, a lot of us quarterbacks through the years,

386
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,020
 when you throw a touchdown pass and you know it's a touchdown

387
00:21:10,020 --> 00:21:12,280
 and somebody's laying on you on a sack,

388
00:21:12,740 --> 00:21:14,300
 that's the best time to talk track.

389
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,040
 Because they feel like they've got you,

390
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:18,920
 they feel like they did something good,

391
00:21:19,020 --> 00:21:20,900
 and you can just say something as simple as,

392
00:21:21,260 --> 00:21:23,240
 hey, turn around and look, buddy, or something like that.

393
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,640
 I don't know what Destin said to him,

394
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:25,760
 but I'm sure he said something.

395
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,860
 Well, you can definitely see his body language,

396
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,300
 and it was awesome to watch.

397
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:30,360
 You love that for Destin.

398
00:21:30,420 --> 00:21:31,800
 He was throwing the ball so well,

399
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,480
 and like you said, after he settled in,

400
00:21:33,540 --> 00:21:35,100
 I mean, he was hitting his spots really well.

401
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,960
 The Xavier pass obviously came to mind,

402
00:21:37,060 --> 00:21:39,100
 and let's just talk about Xavier a little bit

403
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:39,940
 and what he's done.

404
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,580
 Single season, division one school record

405
00:21:42,580 --> 00:21:44,900
 already in eight games for receiving yards.

406
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:45,580
 He's already broken.

407
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,960
 He is 11th on the all-time single season list,

408
00:21:49,420 --> 00:21:50,860
 and Ben, there's some great names that you'll know.

409
00:21:50,940 --> 00:21:54,580
 Jason Smith, Tristan Purifoy, Anthony Merritt's on that list.

410
00:21:54,620 --> 00:21:55,440
 We're talking about him today.

411
00:21:55,540 --> 00:21:56,600
 Dre Hall, obviously.

412
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:00,820
 So if he stays on pace, I mean, he's going to move up this list,

413
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:02,860
 but just talk about what he does so well

414
00:22:02,860 --> 00:22:04,940
 to get open and make those explosive plays.

415
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:08,400
 I mean, you don't realize how much ground that he covers.

416
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,580
 I mean, he's a long strider,

417
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,220
 so he gets on DB's faster than they think they can get on him,

418
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,360
 and then he's got phenomenal body control,

419
00:22:17,460 --> 00:22:20,280
 and I bet you, like, he probably felt worse

420
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,900
 than anybody after that football game.

421
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,460
 He had a, Destin throws a phenomenal post ball to him

422
00:22:25,460 --> 00:22:27,900
 that would have been probably another 70-yard touchdown pass.

423
00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:30,300
 He had the last fumble of the game,

424
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,840
 but we remind him, I mean, you got us here.

425
00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:36,000
 Don't beat yourself up over this.

426
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
 Your one or two plays is not what lost us this football game.

427
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,060
 It was a collection of things,

428
00:22:40,060 --> 00:22:43,680
 and, you know, the conference can pick whoever they want to.

429
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,980
 You know, they picked their receiver to be the freshman of the week.

430
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,880
 Our guy had, I think, 60 more yards and an extra touchdown.

431
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,260
 I thought he deserved it again,

432
00:22:51,580 --> 00:22:54,600
 but I don't get to vote on those things,

433
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:56,880
 so I'm glad he plays for us.

434
00:22:57,060 --> 00:22:58,640
 He ended up being honorable mention

435
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,300
 for the national freshman of the week,

436
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:00,780
 but no love.

437
00:23:00,780 --> 00:23:01,520
 But didn't win the conference one.

438
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,260
 No love for the UAC.

439
00:23:02,260 --> 00:23:03,560
 And the conference one was not on that list.

440
00:23:03,620 --> 00:23:04,300
 We'll take a timeout.

441
00:23:04,340 --> 00:23:06,380
 When we come back, we're going to talk some more Xavier Johnson,

442
00:23:06,380 --> 00:23:08,380
 and we'll show you our plays of the week.

443
00:23:08,460 --> 00:23:09,840
 Mike's trivia question as well.

00:23:09,900 --> 00:23:13,200

 There are a few things we love more than a good Saturday in the South,

487
00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:25,020
 and football season is officially back at the carriage.

488
00:25:25,420 --> 00:25:28,400
 All season long, we'll have the games rolling with plenty of cold drinks,

489
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,340
 good food, and a comfortable spot to settle in for a quarter,

490
00:25:31,340 --> 00:25:33,380
 a game, or the better part of the day.

491
00:25:33,860 --> 00:25:36,140
 Game day Saturdays get $5 craft drafts,

492
00:25:36,340 --> 00:25:37,720
 $2 off wine slushies,

493
00:25:37,980 --> 00:25:38,980
 perhaps some mimosas,

494
00:25:39,340 --> 00:25:40,680
 and game day bites from the kitchen.

495
00:25:41,140 --> 00:25:43,780
 Stock up in our markets before kickoff with plenty of snacks,

496
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:44,800
 dips, cheeses,

497
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:45,860
 something sweet,

498
00:25:45,980 --> 00:25:47,820
 and all the good stuff for your game day spread.

499
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,160
 Football season looks pretty good from the carriage

500
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,840
 on East Mobile Street in historic downtown Florence.

501
00:25:53,060 --> 00:25:56,080
 When getting the job done right is job one,

502
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,540
 you need construction equipment that's built right.

503
00:25:58,740 --> 00:26:03,040
 From compact track loaders to the world's number one selling compact excavator,

504
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,600
 the Kubota construction lineup features durable Kubota engines,

505
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:11,080

511
00:26:30,020 --> 00:26:35,080
 UNA football night rolls on from Lost Pizza Shoals in historic downtown Florence,

512
00:26:35,180 --> 00:26:35,700
 Benjamin Ray,

513
00:26:35,780 --> 00:26:36,560
 Mike Ezekiel,

514
00:26:36,980 --> 00:26:39,060
 and head football coach Brent Dierman.

515
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:39,920
 And coach,

516
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,380
 we were just talking about Xavier Johnson.

517
00:26:42,660 --> 00:26:43,480
 Mike summed it up.

518
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,240
 He's having an unbelievable season,

519
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:46,340
 43 catches,

520
00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:48,300
 814 yards,

521
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,740
 four touchdowns,

522
00:26:49,820 --> 00:26:53,540
 11th most receiving yards in school history with four games to go.

523
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:57,840
 He's already the division one leader for single season receiving yards.

524
00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:58,840
 Unbelievable year.

525
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,440
 There is a freshman,

526
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,660
 a redshirt freshman running back who's third in the nation in rushing right now.

527
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,100
 And you have to think right now,

528
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:09,240
 they are the top two candidates to win the Jerry Rice award.

529
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:10,200
 You would think so,

530
00:27:10,220 --> 00:27:14,400
 unless there's a quarterback that's a redshirt freshman quarterback that's,

531
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,280
 that's happened to be building up a lot of stats,

532
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:18,780
 but it usually goes to one of those three positions,

533
00:27:18,780 --> 00:27:19,760
 to be honest with you,

534
00:27:19,780 --> 00:27:24,860
 unless a defensive player has to just absolutely kill it to jump an offensive guy.

535
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,420
 So I think you would think Xavier's got a pretty good chance.

536
00:27:27,780 --> 00:27:28,180
 Yeah,

537
00:27:28,220 --> 00:27:28,680
 I would agree.

538
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,020
 And we've had two finalists over the last five years,

539
00:27:32,140 --> 00:27:33,440
 Noah Walters in 2022,

540
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,100
 Josh England in 2024.

541
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:37,500
 And to see that what he's Xavier Johnson's doing,

542
00:27:37,580 --> 00:27:38,600
 you got to think he's got a really,

543
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:39,360
 really good chance.

544
00:27:39,420 --> 00:27:40,200
 And that's good to see.

545
00:27:41,420 --> 00:27:41,780
 Coach,

546
00:27:41,820 --> 00:27:42,700
 I want to talk about another guy.

547
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,380
 We didn't get to do it in the first segment,

548
00:27:44,780 --> 00:27:45,280
 Jaheim Ingram.

549
00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:45,900
 I mean,

550
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,280
 early in that game really seemed like he set the tone defensively with a few solo tackles.

551
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:50,900
 Yeah,

552
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:51,320
 he,

553
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:51,360
 he,

554
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:56,420
 he was every week we give a defensive tone setter award and Jaheim Ingram won.

555
00:27:56,460 --> 00:27:59,120
 It was our defensive player of the game and our tone setter of the game.

556
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:05,560
 I thought the way that he played the game with his hands, his feet moving, the violence of which he played.

557
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,280
 He's taken on single blocks and putting a guy in the backfield with it.

558
00:28:09,580 --> 00:28:13,860
 He made an unbelievable play on a screen play on our sideline where he rats off,

559
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,220
 tackles a running back.

560
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,660
 He was consistently in Parsons' face.

561
00:28:19,660 --> 00:28:23,780
 I thought he had one of his best games that he's had since being a Lion.

562
00:28:23,780 --> 00:28:26,700
 And we're excited to coach him again next year if he's, if he's listening.

563
00:28:27,380 --> 00:28:29,020
 Always pushing that one on him, right?

564
00:28:29,260 --> 00:28:31,220
 Speaking of X, speaking of Jaheim,

565
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,580
 we got our plays of the week and it involves both of them.

566
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,120
 Let's jump into this touchdown pass to Xavier Johnson.

567
00:28:38,380 --> 00:28:41,420
 And we've talked about it a little coach, but just a great pitching catch.

568
00:28:41,540 --> 00:28:44,100
 This is a huge moment in this ball game.

569
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,540
 I think it's like third and nine.

570
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,520
 We don't have really any momentum on our side at this moment in time.

571
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,620
 And, and Austin Peay decides to do a kind of a cover zero blitz.

572
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,720
 You see the blitz ends up making it and hitting our quarterback.

573
00:28:56,860 --> 00:28:58,640
 We hold on to it just long enough.

574
00:28:59,400 --> 00:28:59,800
 Xavier,

575
00:28:59,980 --> 00:29:02,880
 we moved him into the slot to try to get a matchup on the safety.

576
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:07,160
 And it's usually really favorable matchup for us when we get him on a safety.

577
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,220
 He's a long strider.

578
00:29:08,780 --> 00:29:13,840
 Destin puts the ball up in the air really before he makes his cut just because he knew he had zero blitz.

579
00:29:13,940 --> 00:29:15,640
 So phenomenal timing by Destin.

580
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,180
 And then that's the one at the D lineman laid on top of him.

581
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,400
 And I'm sure Destin said a few choice words there at the end.

582
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,500
 Just tell him that it was a touchdown play.

583
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,520
 To watch the excitement coming out of the band, the cheerleaders, the student section right there was unbelievable.

584
00:29:30,020 --> 00:29:30,140
 Yeah.

585
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,520
 And a good celebration to boot.

586
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:34,660
 And let's go back to, you're talking about the safety of the matchup right here.

587
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:37,620
 I think X is about 15 yards down the field.

588
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,640
 And then he breaks away at that point.

589
00:29:39,740 --> 00:29:42,220
 I mean, what does that say about his speed and his ability to run that route?

590
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,660
 I mean, he's just a long strider.

591
00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:49,160
 I mean, he's got about four or five routes in his repertoire that he's really, really good at.

592
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:51,220
 A post ball is one of those things.

593
00:29:51,460 --> 00:29:58,420
 If he can eat up space and step on the toes of the DB, he's really, really good at separating in those moments.

594
00:29:58,420 --> 00:30:01,040
 So that's just what he does very well.

595
00:30:01,420 --> 00:30:05,220
 Have you ever noticed the fireworks in the light show after touchdowns?

596
00:30:05,660 --> 00:30:06,600
 I'm going to be honest with you.

597
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:07,160
 I don't.

598
00:30:07,260 --> 00:30:08,400
 My mind is thinking.

599
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:09,220
 Yeah, you're locked in.

600
00:30:09,460 --> 00:30:10,340
 We're moving on.

601
00:30:10,380 --> 00:30:11,480
 We're kicking a field goal.

602
00:30:12,020 --> 00:30:13,540
 Let's get all 11 guys.

603
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,460
 There's so many things that are going on in my head that I miss a lot of things that's probably going on.

604
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,400
 Let's jump to the other play we have for Jaheim right here.

605
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:26,540
 And we could have picked a couple from Jaheim, but this was another very impressive showing from the senior leader.

606
00:30:26,660 --> 00:30:27,560
 I thought it was a tone set.

607
00:30:27,620 --> 00:30:29,100
 And it was a third down, too, I believe.

608
00:30:29,180 --> 00:30:31,040
 Huge third down in the first part of this game.

609
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,000
 Jaheim is doing a stunt with him and Kamor right there.

610
00:30:35,460 --> 00:30:39,320
 He recognizes that something's funny, usually on a screenplay.

611
00:30:40,060 --> 00:30:43,020
 O-linemen are letting you beat them, and I think he felt that.

612
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:44,780
 He finds the back.

613
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:46,760
 He's running step for step with the running back.

614
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,440
 Big-time, individual effort.

615
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,060
 Play right there by Jaheim Ingram.

616
00:30:51,740 --> 00:30:56,560
 Because to be honest with you, Dallas ends up whiffing on the tackle,

617
00:30:56,700 --> 00:30:59,620
 but just in case that tackle did block Dallas, we were going to be out of luck.

618
00:30:59,780 --> 00:31:02,400
 So, unbelievable effort played by Jaheim right there.

619
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,440
 The stunning and the assignment football.

620
00:31:04,540 --> 00:31:06,860
 That's what we've seen from Clint Bowen's defense this year.

621
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,440
 And guys doing their jobs.

622
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,520
 I mean, it doesn't seem like guys are just trying to be selfish and make their own plays.

623
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,900
 So, I mean, does that really come into play on a play like this?

624
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:15,360
 Yeah, it does.

625
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,780
 I mean, you've got our four pass rushers are in the game at the same time right there

626
00:31:18,780 --> 00:31:21,100
 with Avery Howard, Caden Atkins, Kamor.

627
00:31:21,900 --> 00:31:26,660
 Jaheim's really the only big guy on the field at this moment in time in third and nine.

628
00:31:26,780 --> 00:31:30,020
 So, to see the big guy on the field make this play is unbelievable.

629
00:31:30,140 --> 00:31:34,700
 You would think one of the three probably faster pass rushers would be the one to do it.

630
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,940
 But to see your 300-pounder make this play is a sight to see.

631
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:39,700
 All right.

632
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,040
 It's time for everybody's second favorite segment of the night after the food.

633
00:31:43,180 --> 00:31:44,140
 Mike's trivia question.

634
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,120
 Mike, what do you got tonight?

635
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:45,820
 All right, Coach.

636
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,980
 I'm going to actually give you a lifeline tonight.

637
00:31:48,180 --> 00:31:49,340
 I've never done that before.

638
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,800
 And this is actually going to be a phone a friend if you need it.

639
00:31:52,220 --> 00:31:56,080
 And Mike Johnson, I kind of told him, I kind of didn't, but you're the phone a friend tonight.

640
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,160
 So, if he needs you, you're the phone a friend.

641
00:31:58,700 --> 00:31:58,940
 All right.

642
00:31:59,340 --> 00:32:01,500
 And we're going to keep it to Central Arkansas.

643
00:32:02,460 --> 00:32:06,120
 2005 was probably the most epic battle between UNA and Central Arkansas.

644
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:09,640
 And I want to ask you, if you know your history, who were the three quarterbacks,

645
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,960
 two for UNA and one for Central Arkansas, in that series in 2005?

646
00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:16,080
 You would think Will Hall?

647
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:17,480
 A little after him.

648
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:18,880
 Or was he just before that?

649
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,320
 Two years after Will Hall.

650
00:32:20,380 --> 00:32:20,660
 Okay.

651
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:21,800
 A.J. Milby?

652
00:32:22,180 --> 00:32:23,700
 A.J. Milby is one of the three.

653
00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:24,440
 He was one of them.

654
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:25,140
 Nathan Brown?

655
00:32:25,140 --> 00:32:26,240
 Nathan Brown is the other one.

656
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:26,900
 He was playing for UCA.

657
00:32:27,060 --> 00:32:28,140
 I don't know the third.

658
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:28,820
 I'm going to be honest with you.

659
00:32:28,820 --> 00:32:29,740
 You want to phone Mike?

660
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:30,480
 Phone Mike.

661
00:32:30,620 --> 00:32:32,240
 Mike, I need the third quarterback.

662
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:34,400
 Oh.

663
00:32:34,780 --> 00:32:35,900
 We've stumped Mike.

664
00:32:35,980 --> 00:32:36,540
 How about this?

665
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,220
 So, this guy was the starter.

666
00:32:39,060 --> 00:32:40,080
 A.J. was a freshman.

667
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:41,500
 I don't know if that helps.

668
00:32:42,540 --> 00:32:43,200
 Vinny's sailor?

669
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:43,720
 There we go.

670
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,340
 You want to use it?

671
00:32:44,420 --> 00:32:44,880
 We got it.

672
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,180
 Vinny's sailor is correct.

673
00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:46,460
 We got it.

674
00:32:46,460 --> 00:32:47,300
 That is exactly right.

675
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,160
 All three of them.

676
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,780
 Coach, Mike, great job.

677
00:32:50,140 --> 00:32:52,120
 Vinny's sailor was the starter at that time.

678
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,400
 I actually set a school record in 05 for most passing yards in a season.

679
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:56,020
 A.J.

680
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,380
 Milby was kind of waiting in the wings and obviously went on to a Hall of Fame career where he went

681
00:33:00,380 --> 00:33:01,800
 in literally this Saturday.

682
00:33:02,220 --> 00:33:03,800
 And then Nathan Brown's the head coach of Central Arkansas.

683
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,740
 So, I got a trivia question for you then.

684
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:06,240
 I'm ready.

685
00:33:06,460 --> 00:33:08,680
 Was my buddy Lance and Carl on that team?

686
00:33:09,460 --> 00:33:09,680
 Yes.

687
00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:10,580
 I believe he was.

688
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:11,560
 Lance was on that team.

689
00:33:12,220 --> 00:33:12,940
 Would that have been?

690
00:33:13,060 --> 00:33:13,260
 Yep.

691
00:33:13,540 --> 00:33:14,660
 Mike's confirming.

692
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:16,960
 What year would Lance have been?

693
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:18,180
 Lance was what?

694
00:33:18,220 --> 00:33:19,960
 03, 02 to 05?

695
00:33:20,420 --> 00:33:21,300
 Upperclassman at that point.

696
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:23,020
 I think 05 was his last year.

697
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:23,320
 Yeah.

698
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:24,500
 There you go.

699
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:27,720
 And then Mike Norvell was a wide receiver on that team as well.

700
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:27,800
 He was.

701
00:33:27,980 --> 00:33:28,980
 So, tons of connections.

702
00:33:29,140 --> 00:33:30,440
 I think he had dreadlocks at that time.

703
00:33:30,540 --> 00:33:31,520
 Yeah, he did indeed.

704
00:33:32,060 --> 00:33:34,380
 Well, all righty, Coach, we'll let you go chow down on some food,

705
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,460
 visit with your family that's in the house as well.

706
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,940
 When we come back, we're going to introduce you to Ty Watkins,

707
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:39,900
 the guy that does it all.

708
00:33:40,140 --> 00:33:42,100
 We're going to have our first conversation with Ty.

709
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:42,640
 That's next.

710
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,440
 This is UNA Football Night for Lost Pizza Shoals on 93.9 The Score.

711
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,660
 Game day's coming, and your tailgate crew is counting on you.

00:33:55,340 --> 00:33:59,540

727
00:34:47,820 --> 00:34:50,320

00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,000

733
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000

750
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,820
 Football season is back at the carriage.

751
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,900
 There are a few things we love more than a good Saturday in the South,

752
00:35:55,980 --> 00:35:58,480
 and football season is officially back at the carriage.

753
00:35:58,860 --> 00:36:00,540
 All season long, we'll have the games rolling

754
00:36:00,540 --> 00:36:02,540
 with plenty of cold drinks, good food,

755
00:36:02,620 --> 00:36:04,660
 and a comfortable spot to settle in for a quarter,

756
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,700
 a game, or the better part of the day.

757
00:36:07,180 --> 00:36:09,460
 Game day Saturdays get $5 craft drafts,

758
00:36:09,660 --> 00:36:11,040
 $2 off wine slushies,

759
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:12,320
 perhaps some mimosas,

760
00:36:12,660 --> 00:36:14,000
 and game day bites from the kitchen.

761
00:36:14,460 --> 00:36:16,120
 Stock up in our markets before kickoff

762
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,120
 with plenty of snacks, dips, cheeses,

763
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:19,200
 something sweet,

764
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:21,140
 and all the good stuff for your game day spread.

765
00:36:21,540 --> 00:36:23,480
 Football season looks pretty good from the carriage

766
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,180
 on East Mobile Street in historic downtown Florence.

767
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,860
 Well, you know what happens when the seasons change.

768
00:36:28,860 --> 00:36:31,360
 The pests come looking for a place to stay.

769
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:32,860
 Don't give them an invitation.

770
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,160
 Southern Pride Pest Control has year-round prevention plans

771
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,360

772

 When you have pests, we have solutions.

781
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,920
 Our next guest, you see him all over the field.

782
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:08,860
 He's a quarterback.

783
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:09,980
 He's a tight end.

784
00:37:10,060 --> 00:37:11,540
 He's in on special teams.

785
00:37:11,660 --> 00:37:14,140
 He's Ty Watkins, and he's our next guest here

786
00:37:14,140 --> 00:37:16,380
 on UNA Football Night from All Speeds to Shoals.

787
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,540
 Benjamin Ray, Mike Ezekiel back with you as well.

788
00:37:18,540 --> 00:37:20,720
 And Ty, it's great to have you, man.

789
00:37:20,940 --> 00:37:22,820
 Let's just talk about this out of the gate.

790
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,620
 A little bit of a do-it-all kind of football player, man.

791
00:37:25,660 --> 00:37:26,700
 Where does that come from?

792
00:37:27,220 --> 00:37:30,360
 I think it just comes from having a good coaching staff

793
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,360
 who believes in me and understands the abilities

794
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,200
 I've been blessed with and wants to kind of use me

795
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:36,440
 to the best of my abilities.

796
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,660
 It's been really good to see Coach Dierman

797
00:37:38,660 --> 00:37:39,920
 get you involved over the years.

798
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:43,040
 And even talking to Coach Partridge early in fall camp,

799
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,160
 he said Ty Watkins is just too athletic

800
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,180
 to not have on the field.

801
00:37:46,660 --> 00:37:47,840
 And I tend to agree.

802
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,660
 I mean, you were great in those situations.

803
00:37:49,660 --> 00:37:51,940
 But let's talk about just over the years,

804
00:37:52,020 --> 00:37:53,480
 you've been used on a lot of trick plays.

805
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:54,780
 I remember that 91-yard touchdown.

806
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:55,780
 You were involved in that.

807
00:37:56,240 --> 00:37:59,320
 I remember some of the two-point conversions we've ran.

808
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:00,040
 You've been involved.

809
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:03,020
 What does it mean to you to have the trust

810
00:38:03,020 --> 00:38:04,300
 from the coaching staff to be involved

811
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:05,300
 in those big moments?

812
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:06,500
 Oh, I mean, it means the world.

813
00:38:06,740 --> 00:38:07,720
 Just to have their trust.

814
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,280
 You know, I transferred here from Austin Peay.

815
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,540
 So just to have their trust over, you know,

816
00:38:11,540 --> 00:38:13,000
 the past three years has been awesome.

817
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,640
 And not only them, but just my teammates, you know,

818
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:16,680
 just that they believe in me

819
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:17,700
 and they trust me to do this.

820
00:38:17,860 --> 00:38:19,900
 And, you know, it's not easy playing, you know,

821
00:38:19,900 --> 00:38:20,560
 multiple positions.

822
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,640
 You've got to learn a lot of new things.

823
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:24,140
 Especially, you know, first time in my career

824
00:38:24,140 --> 00:38:24,900
 we're playing tight ends.

825
00:38:25,140 --> 00:38:26,680
 So just the fact that they trust me, you know,

826
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,440
 in these big games and big moments, you know,

827
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:29,520
 with the ball, without the ball, you know,

828
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,840
 it's truly a blessing.

829
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,040
 It started for you last year on special teams, right?

830
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,040
 Where you went to the coaches and you just kind of said,

831
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:37,620
 yeah, what can I do to help, man?

832
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:37,960
 Absolutely.

833
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,420
 What made you want to make that move?

834
00:38:39,500 --> 00:38:41,800
 I mean, a quarterback doesn't typically do that, right?

835
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,080
 No, not often.

836
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,160
 I think the biggest thing for me is just, you know,

837
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,520
 it's really easy to want to, you know,

838
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,200
 help the team whatever way and kind of be selfless

839
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,620
 when you play, you know, for coaches that, you know,

840
00:38:52,660 --> 00:38:54,540
 love you and that you want to play hard for, you know.

841
00:38:55,380 --> 00:38:56,780
 It's really easy to do those things

842
00:38:56,780 --> 00:38:58,500
 when you've got staff and players around you

843
00:38:58,500 --> 00:38:59,880
 that make you want to play hard,

844
00:38:59,940 --> 00:39:00,620
 make you want to work hard,

845
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,420
 do those extra things, do those selfless things.

846
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,460
 Ty, you alluded to this earlier.

847
00:39:04,580 --> 00:39:05,880
 You transferred in from Austin Peay.

848
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,040
 You were obviously on the honor roll dean's list there.

849
00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:11,720
 You're obviously high academic standard here as well.

850
00:39:11,860 --> 00:39:13,880
 And one thing about you is I see you involved

851
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:14,720
 in a lot of things.

852
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,140
 You're at a lot of sporting events,

853
00:39:16,140 --> 00:39:18,180
 usually helping out, doing something.

854
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:19,340
 I know you're involved in SAC

855
00:39:19,340 --> 00:39:20,520
 and some other organizations.

856
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:22,480
 What does it mean to you to be involved

857
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:23,700
 and why do you want to do it here

858
00:39:23,700 --> 00:39:24,640
 in this great community?

859
00:39:25,420 --> 00:39:27,020
 Yeah, so I was at Austin Peay for a year.

860
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:28,480
 You know, I enjoyed my time there,

861
00:39:28,580 --> 00:39:30,420
 but I mean, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

862
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,180
 This is definitely the biggest plus of my life,

863
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:33,480
 just coming here, being here in Florence.

864
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:35,040
 I love it here.

865
00:39:35,140 --> 00:39:37,060
 I just love being able to help out

866
00:39:37,060 --> 00:39:38,620
 not only the community, but just the team

867
00:39:38,620 --> 00:39:40,300
 and support other teams

868
00:39:40,300 --> 00:39:41,340
 because, you know, we want them to come out

869
00:39:41,340 --> 00:39:42,440
 and support us on Saturdays.

870
00:39:42,500 --> 00:39:44,460
 So the best way to do that is just to, you know,

871
00:39:44,460 --> 00:39:45,600
 go out and support them with their games too.

872
00:39:46,260 --> 00:39:47,620
 Coming, Georgia's where you're from,

873
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,000
 South Forsyte High School.

874
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,380
 There's some good high school ball played over that way,

875
00:39:51,420 --> 00:39:51,880
 right, man?

876
00:39:52,180 --> 00:39:52,380
 Absolutely.

877
00:39:52,380 --> 00:39:53,800
 Take us back to the old glory days.

878
00:39:53,860 --> 00:39:54,440
 What was it like?

879
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:55,000
 Oh, man.

880
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:56,740
 I mean, it was awesome.

881
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,120
 It was truly a blessing just, you know,

882
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,540
 been there since third grade, you know,

883
00:40:01,580 --> 00:40:03,060
 around that town.

884
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:04,320
 So we get to play, you know, high school ball

885
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,320
 with a lot of my hometown buddies

886
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:07,320
 and guys that I grew up with.

887
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,640
 I mean, it was awesome.

888
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,160
 You know, I go back home for breaks

889
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,640
 and we still, you know, pull up the old huddle games

890
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:13,980
 and we'll just sit there and just watch games

891
00:40:13,980 --> 00:40:14,840
 from our high school years.

892
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,580
 And it's just, it was just so much fun.

893
00:40:17,140 --> 00:40:20,840
 You were the back-to-back 6A, 7A region player of the year.

894
00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:23,720
 Junior year, senior year, you almost threw for 2,000 yards

895
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:24,580
 in both of those.

896
00:40:25,180 --> 00:40:27,260
 Almost seems like you had pocket passer type numbers.

897
00:40:27,380 --> 00:40:28,360
 You ran for a little bit,

898
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,480
 but you were just throwing the ball around.

899
00:40:30,620 --> 00:40:31,840
 I mean, how would you describe yourself

900
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:32,700
 as a high school quarterback?

901
00:40:33,060 --> 00:40:34,080
 I was a high school quarterback.

902
00:40:34,820 --> 00:40:36,880
 I'd say, I guess my junior year, like you said,

903
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,180
 kind of a little bit more pocket, more of a pocket guy

904
00:40:39,180 --> 00:40:41,420
 with a lot of guys around us.

905
00:40:41,420 --> 00:40:42,400
 That was my first year starting.

906
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,060
 So, you know, I wasn't asked to do too much,

907
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,180
 just to kind of like a game manager kind of thing.

908
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:49,540
 And then my senior year, just, you know,

909
00:40:49,540 --> 00:40:50,420
 having experienced everything,

910
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:51,340
 got to do a little bit of everything,

911
00:40:51,420 --> 00:40:53,260
 running the ball, a lot of power read stuff.

912
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,520
 And then, you know, got to slaying around a little bit.

913
00:40:55,620 --> 00:40:56,800
 You know, I had some great receivers

914
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,660
 and great linemen around me.

915
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:00,200
 And it was just, like I said, it was awesome.

916
00:41:00,380 --> 00:41:00,960
 It was so much fun.

917
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:02,940
 Ty, it's great watching you play.

918
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,160
 It's been great chatting with you up here as well, man.

919
00:41:05,300 --> 00:41:06,860
 Let's wrap it up with two quick things.

920
00:41:07,380 --> 00:41:09,600
 What makes this UNA football team so special?

921
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,920
 Because we talk to guys every single week, man,

922
00:41:11,980 --> 00:41:14,780
 and the bond seems incredibly tight amongst you guys.

923
00:41:15,260 --> 00:41:15,940
 Yeah, like you said,

924
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,400
 I think that's the biggest thing that I've noticed.

925
00:41:17,700 --> 00:41:18,580
 This is my third year here.

926
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,320
 I said this is the closest-knit team that we've had.

927
00:41:21,180 --> 00:41:22,100
 You know, I know I said it earlier.

928
00:41:22,340 --> 00:41:23,720
 You know, it makes it easy to want to play hard

929
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:25,180
 and do selfless things

930
00:41:25,180 --> 00:41:26,500
 when you have a coaching staff around you

931
00:41:26,500 --> 00:41:28,540
 that makes you want to do those things.

932
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,200
 But I just think it's the guys we have around us.

933
00:41:30,220 --> 00:41:31,620
 We have the right guys around us this year.

934
00:41:32,180 --> 00:41:33,320
 And, you know, I think it just,

935
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:34,520
 everyone loves each other

936
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:35,860
 and everyone wants to see each other succeed.

937
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,440
 I think that's just the biggest difference from years past.

938
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:40,620
 And then what's it going to take

939
00:41:40,620 --> 00:41:42,720
 to make a push here to close the season out strong?

940
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,200
 I think it's taking it day by day.

941
00:41:44,980 --> 00:41:46,800
 You know, not looking too far in the future

942
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:47,860
 and just focusing, you know,

943
00:41:48,140 --> 00:41:48,860
 we've got practice tomorrow.

944
00:41:48,980 --> 00:41:50,040
 I think, you know, we've got to win tomorrow

945
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,640
 and then just take it day by day

946
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:52,840
 and focus on each one each week.

947
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,540
 And Ty, last thing for me is we just...

948
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,020
 What are some of the guys that you're really close with?

949
00:42:07,220 --> 00:42:07,700
 Oh, man.

950
00:42:08,820 --> 00:42:09,380
 Obviously, you know,

951
00:42:09,420 --> 00:42:11,140
 shout out to the quarterbacks on tight ends.

952
00:42:11,260 --> 00:42:12,160
 You know, pretty close with them.

953
00:42:13,340 --> 00:42:14,280
 But I should say, you know,

954
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,020
 Ethan Aberger, receiver,

955
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,140
 Noah Boltkoff, O'Lyman,

956
00:42:18,460 --> 00:42:19,480
 you know, he's been here for a while.

957
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:20,860
 And so, you know,

958
00:42:20,860 --> 00:42:22,200
 got to go through the past couple years with him.

959
00:42:22,260 --> 00:42:24,700
 So that's cool just to see how things have,

960
00:42:24,700 --> 00:42:26,540
 you know, really improved.

961
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,100
 And then I'd say Connor Ruth,

962
00:42:28,380 --> 00:42:29,700
 Braden Forska, that's my roommate,

963
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,060
 Eli Long, you know.

964
00:42:31,420 --> 00:42:33,360
 But, I mean, those are just some of the guys that I've...

965
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:34,580
 I mean, some of them are roommates,

966
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,420
 but, I mean, just the entire team, really.

967
00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:37,000
 We're all just...

968
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:37,520
 We're all close.

969
00:42:37,740 --> 00:42:38,960
 And I just love those guys.

970
00:42:39,020 --> 00:42:39,740
 And I just love, you know,

971
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:40,700
 going to battle for those guys.

972
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:41,540
 And it makes...

973
00:42:41,540 --> 00:42:43,260
 You know, doing the hard blocks

974
00:42:43,260 --> 00:42:44,680
 and, you know, getting up early more

975
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:45,720
 and doing the lifts and everything like that

976
00:42:45,720 --> 00:42:47,320
 makes that stuff easier, you know,

977
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:47,880
 when you've got guys

978
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:48,920
 that you're willing to put on the line for.

979
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,460
 Ty, we can't wait to see you out there Saturday, man.

980
00:42:51,500 --> 00:42:52,600
 It's been great chatting with you.

981
00:42:52,660 --> 00:42:53,900
 Thank you very much for graduating line.

982
00:42:53,900 --> 00:42:54,500
 Thank you.

983
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:55,760
 That's Ty Watkins.

984
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:56,960
 We'll take a time out

985
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:57,620
 when we come back.

986
00:42:57,700 --> 00:42:59,840
 The captain, Jaheim Ingram, joins us next.

987
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:01,100
 This is UNA Football Night

988
00:43:01,100 --> 00:43:03,380
 for Lost Pizza Shoals at 93.9 The Score.

989
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:06,440
 Game day's coming

990
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,000
 and your tailgate crew is counting on you.

991
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,660

 and subplatters,

995
00:43:15,140 --> 00:43:16,860
 all built to feed a crowd.

996
00:43:17,100 --> 00:43:19,400

 Hi, this is Ike Fowler

1008
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:37,740
 with Alabama Health Guidance.

1009
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:38,940
 Whether you are looking

1010
00:43:38,940 --> 00:43:40,380

1068
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,160

1076
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:22,900
 a game,

1077
00:45:22,980 --> 00:45:24,140
 or the better part of the day.

1078
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:25,460

 and Jaheim, man,

1128
00:46:32,980 --> 00:46:33,800
 everybody loves you

00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:34,880
 in Bank Independence Stadium.

1130
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:35,700
 They love you here

1131
00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:36,700
 at Lost Pizza Shoals.

1132
00:46:37,060 --> 00:46:37,780
 We've got to start out

1133
00:46:37,780 --> 00:46:38,300
 with this.

1134
00:46:38,780 --> 00:46:40,100
 44, we talk a lot

1135
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:40,960
 about you wearing it

1136
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,040
 and what it means to you,

1137
00:46:42,060 --> 00:46:43,060
 but for the first time

1138
00:46:43,060 --> 00:46:43,760
 in a long time,

1139
00:46:43,820 --> 00:46:44,380
 Ronald McKinnon

1140
00:46:44,380 --> 00:46:45,320
 got to come to a game.

1141
00:46:45,380 --> 00:46:46,180
 I didn't get to ask him

1142
00:46:46,180 --> 00:46:47,080
 when the last time was

1143
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:47,560
 he came,

1144
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:48,700
 but it's been a long time

1145
00:46:48,700 --> 00:46:49,960
 from playing in the NFL

1146
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,160
 to his coaching career

1147
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:51,680
 as well.

1148
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,180
 You got to talk with him

1149
00:46:53,180 --> 00:46:54,280
 after walkthroughs

1150
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:55,400
 on Saturday, man.

1151
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:56,300
 Take us into that moment.

1152
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:57,040
 How cool was that

1153
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:57,420
 getting to meet

1154
00:46:57,420 --> 00:46:58,060
 the line legend?

1155
00:46:58,220 --> 00:46:59,580
 I mean, it was very cool.

1156
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:00,420
 It was a very cool moment.

1157
00:47:00,580 --> 00:47:01,560
 You know, a lot of people

1158
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:02,460
 wear honorary numbers,

1159
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:03,100
 but, you know,

1160
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:03,780
 it's very often

1161
00:47:03,780 --> 00:47:04,760
 they get to meet the person

1162
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:05,620
 that that number is for.

1163
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:06,880
 So, you know,

1164
00:47:06,900 --> 00:47:07,360
 just being able

1165
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:08,180
 to see him in person

1166
00:47:08,180 --> 00:47:08,820
 instead of talking

1167
00:47:08,820 --> 00:47:09,280
 on the phone

1168
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:10,080
 and seeing him face-to-face,

1169
00:47:10,260 --> 00:47:11,240
 it was an amazing experience.

1170
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:12,460
 You know, he got a lot

1171
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:12,940
 of knowledge,

1172
00:47:13,500 --> 00:47:14,200
 a guy that came in,

1173
00:47:14,260 --> 00:47:14,780
 worked hard,

1174
00:47:15,340 --> 00:47:16,820
 one of the really pillars

1175
00:47:16,820 --> 00:47:17,320
 of the program.

1176
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:18,040
 So, I mean,

1177
00:47:18,060 --> 00:47:18,480
 it was awesome

1178
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:19,080
 to have a conversation

1179
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:19,360
 with him.

1180
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:20,680
 Yeah, and not only

1181
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:21,280
 Ronald McKinnon,

1182
00:47:21,340 --> 00:47:22,100
 but some of the other

1183
00:47:22,100 --> 00:47:23,200
 members of the Purple Swarm

1184
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:24,120
 that were there as well.

1185
00:47:24,300 --> 00:47:25,500
 And moments like this,

1186
00:47:25,620 --> 00:47:26,400
 weekends like this

1187
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:27,220
 where Hall of Famers

1188
00:47:27,220 --> 00:47:27,820
 come back

1189
00:47:27,820 --> 00:47:28,240
 and they're there

1190
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:29,400
 to watch you play

1191
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:29,820
 and then they get

1192
00:47:29,820 --> 00:47:31,020
 to see you make big plays.

1193
00:47:31,140 --> 00:47:31,540
 I mean, I'm sure

1194
00:47:31,540 --> 00:47:32,220
 that's got to mean

1195
00:47:32,220 --> 00:47:33,380
 a lot to you to know

1196
00:47:33,380 --> 00:47:34,180
 that it's not just Ronald

1197
00:47:34,180 --> 00:47:35,900
 but also the rest

1198
00:47:35,900 --> 00:47:36,660
 of the Purple Swarm

1199
00:47:36,660 --> 00:47:37,620
 and all the tradition.

1200
00:47:38,020 --> 00:47:38,940
 Oh yeah, it's definitely

1201
00:47:38,940 --> 00:47:39,620
 amazing, you know.

1202
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:40,900
 You make a play

1203
00:47:40,900 --> 00:47:41,680
 and then you get back

1204
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:42,220
 to the sideline

1205
00:47:42,220 --> 00:47:42,580
 and you think,

1206
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:43,080
 man, you know,

1207
00:47:43,100 --> 00:47:43,720
 I just made a play

1208
00:47:43,720 --> 00:47:44,600
 in front of all those legends.

1209
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,340
 Like, it's awesome.

1210
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:48,700
 Well, you played hard

1211
00:47:48,700 --> 00:47:49,660
 like you always do.

1212
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:50,920
 You were phenomenal out there.

1213
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:51,520
 Coach mentioned

1214
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:52,680
 you were the defensive player

1215
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:53,620
 of the game

1216
00:47:53,620 --> 00:47:54,840
 and you were just telling me

1217
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:55,580
 during Lion Walk

1218
00:47:55,580 --> 00:47:57,080
 your family has a big tailgate spot

1219
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:58,240
 and you got to peel off

1220
00:47:58,240 --> 00:47:59,540
 and go over there pre-game, man.

1221
00:47:59,620 --> 00:48:01,540
 Did that help kind of fuel you up

1222
00:48:01,540 --> 00:48:02,340
 just a little bit?

1223
00:48:02,500 --> 00:48:02,920
 Yeah, man.

1224
00:48:03,380 --> 00:48:04,140
 I went over there.

1225
00:48:04,140 --> 00:48:05,060
 They had some ribs over there

1226
00:48:05,060 --> 00:48:05,720
 this time around.

1227
00:48:06,060 --> 00:48:08,220
 So I went and grabbed.

1228
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:09,120
 I grabbed a few ribs

1229
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:10,480
 before I went into the locker room

1230
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:11,460
 and, you know,

1231
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:13,060
 I think we can say

1232
00:48:13,060 --> 00:48:14,020
 that helped me out pretty well.

1233
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,060
 I ain't mad about that.

1234
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:18,000
 I'm sure some of your teammates

1235
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:18,420
 might have been

1236
00:48:18,420 --> 00:48:19,460
 if you didn't have enough ribs.

1237
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:20,060
 Oh, definitely.

1238
00:48:20,980 --> 00:48:21,480
 You know,

1239
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:22,940
 I didn't share the love.

1240
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:23,800
 I didn't tell the secrets.

1241
00:48:24,900 --> 00:48:26,120
 I definitely went over there

1242
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:26,600
 and took a few

1243
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:27,840
 before I went into the locker room

1244
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,160
 and I do not regret it at all.

1245
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:30,120
 I love it.

1246
00:48:30,140 --> 00:48:30,680
 I love it.

1247
00:48:30,780 --> 00:48:31,080
 Jaheim,

1248
00:48:31,180 --> 00:48:32,300
 you're on here so much.

1249
00:48:32,300 --> 00:48:33,460
 I think you were probably

1250
00:48:33,460 --> 00:48:35,300
 by far the most popular guest

1251
00:48:35,300 --> 00:48:36,020
 that we've had

1252
00:48:36,020 --> 00:48:37,740
 maybe in the history of the show.

1253
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:39,760
 So it's hard to come up

1254
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,060
 with new questions to ask you,

1255
00:48:41,140 --> 00:48:42,880
 but I've got one

1256
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:43,900
 I can at least talk about.

1257
00:48:43,980 --> 00:48:44,560
 I knew it was the play

1258
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:45,300
 that Coach Dierman

1259
00:48:45,300 --> 00:48:46,160
 broke down for us

1260
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,320
 earlier in another segment,

1261
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:48,760
 that screen pass

1262
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,240
 where everybody did

1263
00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:51,260
 their assignment really well.

1264
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:52,800
 You were able to get off your block

1265
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:53,460
 and make that tackle.

1266
00:48:53,580 --> 00:48:54,300
 Talk us through that play.

1267
00:48:54,740 --> 00:48:55,260
 Yeah, I mean,

1268
00:48:56,340 --> 00:48:57,300
 this is it right here?

1269
00:48:57,380 --> 00:48:57,700
 This is it.

1270
00:48:57,700 --> 00:48:59,380
 Yeah, we had a stunt on him.

1271
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:02,120
 So my job was to push the man through

1272
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:03,500
 so Mo could wrap behind free.

1273
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,360
 But as I was pushing him through,

1274
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,560
 I noticed out of the side of my eye

1275
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:08,560
 that the guy was leaving.

1276
00:49:09,020 --> 00:49:09,480
 So I was like,

1277
00:49:09,540 --> 00:49:10,420
 uh-oh, it's a screen.

1278
00:49:11,420 --> 00:49:12,080
 And, you know,

1279
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:12,840
 screen passes,

1280
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,780
 them D-line highlight tapes

1281
00:49:14,780 --> 00:49:15,160
 right there.

1282
00:49:15,300 --> 00:49:17,080
 So this is the one I redirect.

1283
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:18,240
 I got to show off

1284
00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:19,220
 a little bit of my speed.

1285
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:19,980
 And, you know,

1286
00:49:20,020 --> 00:49:20,780
 I wrapped him up.

1287
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:21,980
 And, you know,

1288
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:22,680
 I got a little hype.

1289
00:49:22,820 --> 00:49:23,480
 I got to run away

1290
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:24,120
 when I celebrate

1291
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:24,680
 because I don't want

1292
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:25,540
 a 15-yard penalty,

1293
00:49:26,100 --> 00:49:29,120
 but, yeah,

1294
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,340
 it was a really heads-up play.

1295
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,120
 Everybody kind of did their job.

1296
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:34,560
 So that's why I worked out.

1297
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:36,780
 Coach mentioned to us last week

1298
00:49:36,780 --> 00:49:37,680
 you and Josh White

1299
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:38,980
 kind of addressed the team

1300
00:49:38,980 --> 00:49:39,840
 after the tough loss

1301
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:40,720
 to Abel and Christian.

1302
00:49:41,060 --> 00:49:42,400
 I know another tough loss

1303
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:43,560
 to a top-10 team,

1304
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:44,180
 but all the goals

1305
00:49:44,180 --> 00:49:45,260
 you guys want to achieve

1306
00:49:45,260 --> 00:49:46,260
 are still out there, right?

1307
00:49:46,300 --> 00:49:47,740
 So what's been the internal message

1308
00:49:47,740 --> 00:49:48,320
 to players

1309
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,440
 and the conversations like?

1310
00:49:49,580 --> 00:49:50,360
 Just stay together.

1311
00:49:50,540 --> 00:49:51,320
 That's the main thing

1312
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:52,060
 we've been preaching,

1313
00:49:52,220 --> 00:49:53,420
 especially in our room

1314
00:49:53,420 --> 00:49:54,480
 but amongst the team as well.

1315
00:49:54,700 --> 00:49:55,340
 And, you know,

1316
00:49:55,380 --> 00:49:56,120
 you can't really do much

1317
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,140
 as a team if you're not together.

1318
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,060
 And one of the things

1319
00:49:59,060 --> 00:50:00,100
 I love about this team

1320
00:50:00,100 --> 00:50:01,240
 is we're a brotherhood.

1321
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:02,980
 So for us to keep

1322
00:50:02,980 --> 00:50:03,860
 that brotherhood going,

1323
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:05,100
 it keeps the chemistry high,

1324
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:05,980
 it keeps the flow high.

1325
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:07,020
 And as long as we're

1326
00:50:07,020 --> 00:50:07,640
 counting on each other,

1327
00:50:07,700 --> 00:50:08,820
 we can do special things.

1328
00:50:09,300 --> 00:50:10,460
 And where we're at in the season,

1329
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:11,280
 and I know you guys

1330
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:12,040
 are always going to take it

1331
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:12,920
 one week at a time,

1332
00:50:12,980 --> 00:50:13,720
 but everything's still

1333
00:50:13,720 --> 00:50:14,320
 in front of us

1334
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:15,800
 and we still can control

1335
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:16,460
 our own destiny

1336
00:50:16,460 --> 00:50:17,320
 in a lot of ways.

1337
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:17,840
 So, I mean,

1338
00:50:17,860 --> 00:50:18,900
 how does that motivate you

1339
00:50:18,900 --> 00:50:20,080
 as a player this late in the season

1340
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:20,880
 knowing that there's still

1341
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:21,540
 a lot to play for?

1342
00:50:21,660 --> 00:50:22,400
 I mean, it's amazing.

1343
00:50:22,900 --> 00:50:24,200
 I haven't been in this position

1344
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:25,520
 many times since I've been here.

1345
00:50:26,020 --> 00:50:27,440
 But Coach Dimon kind of,

1346
00:50:27,620 --> 00:50:29,260
 he said it himself Sunday.

1347
00:50:29,460 --> 00:50:29,780
 He said,

1348
00:50:30,020 --> 00:50:32,060
 we kind of put our backs

1349
00:50:32,060 --> 00:50:32,620
 against the wall,

1350
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,040
 but every week from now on

1351
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:34,840
 is a national championship

1352
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:35,440
 game for us.

1353
00:50:35,780 --> 00:50:36,380
 So that's how we got

1354
00:50:36,380 --> 00:50:36,820
 to approach it.

1355
00:50:36,860 --> 00:50:37,520
 That's how we got to prepare.

1356
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:38,620
 Well, we can't wait

1357
00:50:38,620 --> 00:50:39,920
 to see you in Conway

1358
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:40,600
 this weekend

1359
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:41,620
 against Central Arkansas.

1360
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:42,980
 And for this defense,

1361
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:43,300
 Jaheim,

1362
00:50:43,340 --> 00:50:43,980
 I know you just mentioned

1363
00:50:43,980 --> 00:50:44,860
 kind of playing together.

1364
00:50:45,020 --> 00:50:45,740
 What's it going to take

1365
00:50:45,740 --> 00:50:46,560
 to go on the road

1366
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,180
 and in a tough environment

1367
00:50:48,180 --> 00:50:49,280
 always in Estes Stadium

1368
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:49,920
 on the stripes

1369
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,120
 and get the road dub?

1370
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:52,160
 We just got to do

1371
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:52,580
 what we do.

1372
00:50:52,820 --> 00:50:53,760
 Don't try to be extraordinary.

1373
00:50:54,220 --> 00:50:54,320
 You know,

1374
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:55,100
 everybody go out there

1375
00:50:55,100 --> 00:50:55,920
 and do their 111

1376
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:57,720
 and just play on one accord.

1377
00:50:58,120 --> 00:50:58,300
 You know,

1378
00:50:58,360 --> 00:50:59,200
 when we're hiring

1379
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:00,000
 on five cylinders

1380
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:00,580
 on one accord,

1381
00:51:01,060 --> 00:51:02,500
 we're a pretty special defense.

1382
00:51:02,860 --> 00:51:03,520
 And Coach Bowen

1383
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:04,400
 tells us all the time,

1384
00:51:04,460 --> 00:51:04,620
 you know,

1385
00:51:04,620 --> 00:51:05,640
 like this is a special group.

1386
00:51:06,140 --> 00:51:07,400
 So if everybody buys in,

1387
00:51:07,500 --> 00:51:08,480
 does their job,

1388
00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:09,480

00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:52,940
 Benjamin Ray,

1583
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:53,620
 Mike Ezekiel

1584
00:54:53,620 --> 00:54:54,560
 in the house as well.

1585
00:54:55,060 --> 00:54:56,700
 Coach, we say it every week

1586
00:54:56,700 --> 00:54:58,140
 when we have your players on,

1587
00:54:58,200 --> 00:54:58,920
 Ty Watkins

1588
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,360
 had our first conversation

1589
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:00,680
 with him,

1590
00:55:00,740 --> 00:55:01,280
 Jeem Ingram.

1591
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:02,100
 We've talked to him

1592
00:55:02,100 --> 00:55:03,180
 numerous times,

1593
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:04,160
 but this team

1594
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:05,380
 is a special group

1595
00:55:05,380 --> 00:55:05,960
 of individuals

1596
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,280
 and that bond is tight.

1597
00:55:07,720 --> 00:55:08,140
 Yeah, it is.

1598
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:09,600
 They do a great job

1599
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:10,180
 of spending time

1600
00:55:10,180 --> 00:55:10,700
 with each other

1601
00:55:10,700 --> 00:55:11,960
 off the field.

1602
00:55:12,460 --> 00:55:13,180
 Ty is one of our

1603
00:55:13,180 --> 00:55:14,400
 big FCA leaders.

1604
00:55:14,540 --> 00:55:15,120
 Ethan Adberger

1605
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:16,100
 was here tonight as well,

1606
00:55:16,180 --> 00:55:17,520
 big FCA leader

1607
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:18,060
 for our team.

1608
00:55:18,580 --> 00:55:19,180
 Monday nights

1609
00:55:19,180 --> 00:55:20,140
 is usually their night

1610
00:55:20,140 --> 00:55:21,200
 that they have

1611
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:22,500
 their kind of FCA huddle.

1612
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:23,940
 So to see some

1613
00:55:23,940 --> 00:55:25,160
 of those athletes,

1614
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:26,100
 I think a couple

1615
00:55:26,100 --> 00:55:27,220
 soccer girls came out

1616
00:55:27,220 --> 00:55:28,020
 in support of

1617
00:55:28,020 --> 00:55:29,180
 some of our guys

1618
00:55:29,180 --> 00:55:30,700
 tonight because of FCA.

1619
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:32,740
 We have an unbelievable

1620
00:55:32,740 --> 00:55:33,540
 group of guys

1621
00:55:33,540 --> 00:55:34,480
 that care for each other,

1622
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:35,180
 that have a bond

1623
00:55:35,180 --> 00:55:35,800
 with each other,

1624
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:37,480
 and it's always fun

1625
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:38,480
 to coach a team like that.

1626
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:40,040
 Coach, Ty was a perfect

1627
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:41,080
 guest to have tonight,

1628
00:55:41,340 --> 00:55:42,340
 an unsung hero

1629
00:55:42,340 --> 00:55:43,400
 for so many years

1630
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:44,840
 and kind of leads me

1631
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:45,680
 into my next question.

1632
00:55:45,780 --> 00:55:46,520
 It's actually a question

1633
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:47,140
 we got emailed

1634
00:55:47,140 --> 00:55:48,360
 from a friend in Fort Payne,

1635
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:49,240
 a friend of the program,

1636
00:55:49,460 --> 00:55:50,640
 and he wanted me

1637
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:51,180
 to ask you about

1638
00:55:51,180 --> 00:55:52,020
 some of the young guys

1639
00:55:52,020 --> 00:55:53,440
 that maybe are backups,

1640
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:54,160
 third string,

1641
00:55:54,300 --> 00:55:55,160
 that maybe don't get

1642
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:55,880
 talked about a lot

1643
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:56,520
 that you want to highlight.

1644
00:55:56,740 --> 00:55:56,880
 You know,

1645
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,020
 you made me think

1646
00:55:58,020 --> 00:55:58,640
 about this.

1647
00:55:59,500 --> 00:56:00,400
 If we would have looked

1648
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:01,140
 at last year

1649
00:56:01,140 --> 00:56:01,800
 or the year before,

1650
00:56:02,140 --> 00:56:02,860
 and you asked me

1651
00:56:02,860 --> 00:56:03,360
 that question,

1652
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:04,140
 Leo Glover,

1653
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:05,120
 Avery Howard,

1654
00:56:05,740 --> 00:56:06,540
 like those guys

1655
00:56:06,540 --> 00:56:07,340
 would have been mentioned

1656
00:56:07,340 --> 00:56:08,640
 and no one would have

1657
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:09,420
 known their names yet.

1658
00:56:09,460 --> 00:56:10,040
 There wasn't household

1659
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:10,580
 names yet.

1660
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:12,340
 So those same type kids

1661
00:56:12,340 --> 00:56:13,120
 are sitting on our team

1662
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:13,580
 right now,

1663
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:14,380
 and they may be

1664
00:56:14,380 --> 00:56:15,180
 playing scout team.

1665
00:56:15,260 --> 00:56:16,360
 They may be a two

1666
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:16,880
 or a three.

1667
00:56:17,100 --> 00:56:18,160
 We've got one here tonight,

1668
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:18,800
 Tanner Cottle,

1669
00:56:19,260 --> 00:56:20,100
 a local guy

1670
00:56:20,100 --> 00:56:20,800
 from Mars Hill

1671
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:21,980
 that is starting

1672
00:56:21,980 --> 00:56:22,600
 to make an impact

1673
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:23,700
 on some special teams.

1674
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:25,780
 We've got Brandon Oliver

1675
00:56:25,780 --> 00:56:26,640
 is another one

1676
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,040
 that is a Fort Payne kid

1677
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,180
 that I feel like

1678
00:56:29,180 --> 00:56:29,740
 he's going to be

1679
00:56:29,740 --> 00:56:30,840
 a good player

1680
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:31,800
 for us down the road.

1681
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:32,980
 Has been banged up

1682
00:56:32,980 --> 00:56:33,480
 a little bit,

1683
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:34,360
 played some,

1684
00:56:34,460 --> 00:56:35,580
 played some special teams.

1685
00:56:36,180 --> 00:56:37,120
 We've got a few

1686
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:37,900
 young linemen.

1687
00:56:38,940 --> 00:56:39,860
 Big Deshaun Pope

1688
00:56:39,860 --> 00:56:41,020
 is going to be a,

1689
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:42,100
 he's played a little bit

1690
00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:43,280
 this year as a true freshman.

1691
00:56:43,460 --> 00:56:45,320
 He's a Jaheim Ingram-like

1692
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:46,920
 player on the inside.

1693
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,160
 There's Big Jesse,

1694
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:51,640
 Big Jesse Thomas,

1695
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:52,540
 big offensive lineman.

1696
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:53,560
 We've got a 6'6 freshman.

1697
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:55,440
 Big Miles is another 6'7",

1698
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:56,200
 offensive lineman,

1699
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:56,900
 offensive tackle.

1700
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:58,080
 There's just so many

1701
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,160
 different young guys,

1702
00:56:59,700 --> 00:57:00,820
 but those are the first,

1703
00:57:00,900 --> 00:57:01,560
 probably five or six

1704
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:02,120
 come to mind,

1705
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:03,600
 but there's a lot of guys.

1706
00:57:04,180 --> 00:57:04,900
 Chauncey Allo,

1707
00:57:05,700 --> 00:57:07,100
 outside linebacker

1708
00:57:07,100 --> 00:57:08,120
 from Thompson High School.

1709
00:57:08,380 --> 00:57:08,580
 I mean,

1710
00:57:08,700 --> 00:57:10,540
 there's a lot of young talent

1711
00:57:10,540 --> 00:57:11,540
 on this football team.

1712
00:57:11,620 --> 00:57:12,960
 I'm excited for their

1713
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:13,840
 development in the future.

1714
00:57:14,140 --> 00:57:14,400
 Coach,

1715
00:57:14,460 --> 00:57:15,060
 let's jump into our

1716
00:57:15,060 --> 00:57:16,280
 Burnley Spine and Sport

1717
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:16,740
 Preview.

1718
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:17,360
 We're heading to

1719
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:18,820
 Conway, Arkansas.

1720
00:57:19,300 --> 00:57:20,200
 Estes Stadium

1721
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:21,820
 to take on Central Arkansas,

1722
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,180
 2-6, 0-3.

1723
00:57:23,460 --> 00:57:24,040
 They're looking for

1724
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:25,280
 their first UAC win,

1725
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:25,860
 but Coach,

1726
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:26,820
 look a little deeper

1727
00:57:26,820 --> 00:57:27,340
 than that.

1728
00:57:27,660 --> 00:57:28,420
 They had opportunities

1729
00:57:28,420 --> 00:57:29,300
 against Tarleton

1730
00:57:29,300 --> 00:57:30,480
 to win that ballgame.

1731
00:57:30,580 --> 00:57:31,480
 Tarleton pulled away late.

1732
00:57:31,660 --> 00:57:32,300
 Abilene Christian

1733
00:57:32,300 --> 00:57:33,480
 was a one-score ballgame.

1734
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:34,340
 They lost an overtime

1735
00:57:34,340 --> 00:57:35,220
 game last week.

1736
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:36,200
 Much like us,

1737
00:57:36,220 --> 00:57:36,680
 they have been

1738
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:37,360
 battle-tested.

1739
00:57:37,700 --> 00:57:38,160
 They have.

1740
00:57:38,340 --> 00:57:39,140
 You even look at

1741
00:57:39,140 --> 00:57:40,100
 some of their wins

1742
00:57:40,100 --> 00:57:40,680
 they had early.

1743
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,660
 They had a great game

1744
00:57:42,660 --> 00:57:43,340
 with UT Martin,

1745
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:44,800
 who is a very talented

1746
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:45,580
 football team.

1747
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:47,540
 They played West Florida

1748
00:57:47,540 --> 00:57:48,240
 when West Florida

1749
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:48,680
 was playing

1750
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,200
 very solid football,

1751
00:57:50,540 --> 00:57:51,640
 especially early in the year.

1752
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,560
 They are a talented team.

1753
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,740
 So they took Tarleton

1754
00:57:57,740 --> 00:57:58,620
 late in the game.

1755
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:00,560
 They took Abilene

1756
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:01,780
 late in the game.

1757
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:02,780
 Had some turnovers

1758
00:58:02,780 --> 00:58:03,780
 that really killed them

1759
00:58:03,780 --> 00:58:05,100
 in that football game

1760
00:58:05,100 --> 00:58:06,140
 being a one-score game.

1761
00:58:06,300 --> 00:58:08,080
 So they're going to come in here

1762
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:09,940
 and they're going to

1763
00:58:09,940 --> 00:58:11,020
 try to stop the run.

1764
00:58:11,140 --> 00:58:12,420
 I think their defensive line

1765
00:58:12,420 --> 00:58:12,860
 is one of probably

1766
00:58:12,860 --> 00:58:14,040
 the better defensive lines

1767
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:14,620
 in our league.

1768
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,500
 They're very talented.

1769
00:58:17,100 --> 00:58:18,200
 They've got a back end

1770
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:19,080
 that I think is probably

1771
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:19,940
 better than what they've

1772
00:58:19,940 --> 00:58:21,080
 had in the past few years

1773
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:22,160
 that is starting

1774
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:22,780
 to come together.

1775
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:24,560
 They just haven't had

1776
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:25,260
 that ball bounce

1777
00:58:25,260 --> 00:58:26,320
 the right way for them yet.

1778
00:58:26,420 --> 00:58:27,980
 So our guys got to understand

1779
00:58:27,980 --> 00:58:28,480
 that it's going to be

1780
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:29,320
 a tough game on the road.

1781
00:58:29,860 --> 00:58:30,440
 Yeah, they've been

1782
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:31,040
 very competitive.

1783
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:32,640
 You alluded to the Tarleton game.

1784
00:58:32,700 --> 00:58:34,260
 They put up 35 on that defense

1785
00:58:34,260 --> 00:58:35,040
 and not a lot of teams

1786
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:35,960
 have been able to do that.

1787
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:37,800
 This is a Central Arkansas team

1788
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:38,720
 that played four straight

1789
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:39,380
 on the road,

1790
00:58:39,700 --> 00:58:40,580
 ended up on a bye week

1791
00:58:40,580 --> 00:58:41,320
 and now they're in the middle

1792
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:42,180
 of their home schedule

1793
00:58:42,180 --> 00:58:43,340
 and we're going to be

1794
00:58:43,340 --> 00:58:44,520
 their homecoming this week.

1795
00:58:44,740 --> 00:58:45,620
 And, you know,

1796
00:58:45,660 --> 00:58:47,400
 just to keep the team

1797
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:48,960
 concentrated and focused,

1798
00:58:49,100 --> 00:58:49,980
 how do you do that

1799
00:58:49,980 --> 00:58:50,620
 and what's the message?

1800
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:51,960
 You've got to win every day.

1801
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:53,820
 The biggest thing for us

1802
00:58:53,820 --> 00:58:55,000
 is you've got to flush

1803
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:55,780
 what just happened.

1804
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,000
 And to be honest with you,

1805
00:58:58,020 --> 00:58:59,600
 I felt like the Abilene game

1806
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:01,300
 kind of lingered

1807
00:59:01,300 --> 00:59:02,720
 into last week a little bit

1808
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,360
 where Tuesday's practice,

1809
00:59:04,620 --> 00:59:05,360
 you just didn't have

1810
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:06,060
 the same energy.

1811
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:06,820
 I thought we started

1812
00:59:06,820 --> 00:59:07,880
 to turn the page a little bit,

1813
00:59:07,940 --> 00:59:09,140
 but I challenged our guys

1814
00:59:09,140 --> 00:59:09,460
 on Sunday.

1815
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:09,800
 I said, guys,

1816
00:59:09,860 --> 00:59:11,400
 you can't allow a loss

1817
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,260
 to linger days

1818
00:59:13,260 --> 00:59:14,280
 into the next week

1819
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,700
 and prevent or stunt

1820
00:59:16,700 --> 00:59:18,500
 your development

1821
00:59:18,500 --> 00:59:19,400
 and growth

1822
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:20,700
 in the game plan

1823
00:59:20,700 --> 00:59:21,240
 for that week.

1824
00:59:21,340 --> 00:59:22,380
 So excited to see

1825
00:59:22,380 --> 00:59:23,040
 what team comes out

1826
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:23,900
 of the locker room tomorrow.

1827
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:25,600
 Understanding that we've got

1828
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:26,440
 to give it our best effort

1829
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:27,520
 and we've got to win Tuesday.

1830
00:59:27,700 --> 00:59:29,660
 Before we can win on Saturday,

1831
00:59:29,780 --> 00:59:30,600
 we've got to win on Tuesday.

1832
00:59:31,060 --> 00:59:31,840
 Last thing, Coach,

1833
00:59:31,900 --> 00:59:32,420
 the stripes,

1834
00:59:32,620 --> 00:59:33,060
 the purple,

1835
00:59:33,180 --> 00:59:33,860
 the silver stripes.

1836
00:59:33,980 --> 00:59:34,920
 Do you notice at all

1837
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:35,860
 does it have any impact

1838
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:36,600
 on play calling

1839
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:37,640
 or anything like that?

1840
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:38,200
 It doesn't affect

1841
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:38,820
 play calling,

1842
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:40,100
 but you definitely

1843
00:59:40,100 --> 00:59:41,140
 notice it for sure.

1844
00:59:42,180 --> 00:59:43,260
 We were talking this,

1845
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:43,700
 I don't know

1846
00:59:43,700 --> 00:59:44,560
 if this is true or not.

1847
00:59:44,620 --> 00:59:45,240
 We were talking about this

1848
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:46,160
 in the offensive staff.

1849
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:47,540
 I don't know

1850
00:59:47,540 --> 00:59:48,340
 if they've kind of

1851
00:59:48,340 --> 00:59:49,400
 outlawed fields

1852
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:50,160
 like this now,

1853
00:59:50,220 --> 00:59:52,560
 so I think UCA is sticking

1854
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:53,940
 with it because you can't

1855
00:59:53,940 --> 00:59:54,940
 change it.

1856
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:56,940
 So that's their field

1857
00:59:56,940 --> 00:59:57,680
 and they're going to hold

1858
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:58,740
 on to it as long as they can.

1859
00:59:58,960 --> 00:59:59,820
 It's an edge.

1860
00:59:59,900 --> 01:00:00,840
 I think it creates

1861
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:01,820
 something different for you.

1862
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:03,220
 It's a little bit slicker

1863
01:00:03,220 --> 01:00:05,260
 surface than most fields,

1864
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:05,920
 so we're going to have

1865
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:06,300
 to get there

1866
01:00:06,300 --> 01:00:07,160
 and get used to it

1867
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:07,820
 in pregame.

1868
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:09,500
 It's not a bad field.

1869
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:10,360
 It's just a different

1870
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:11,900
 kind of slickness to it.

1871
01:00:12,580 --> 01:00:14,020
 But once you get on it,

1872
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:14,620
 it's just football.

1873
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,100
 So watching it on tape

1874
01:00:17,100 --> 01:00:17,920
 is a little bit different,

1875
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:19,920
 but once you're out there on it,

1876
01:00:20,020 --> 01:00:21,500
 I don't think it's any different.

1877
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:22,880
 Four o'clock Saturday.

1878
01:00:23,020 --> 01:00:23,780
 Coach, we'll be over

1879
01:00:23,780 --> 01:00:24,600
 in Conway with you.

1880
01:00:24,660 --> 01:00:25,400
 Best of luck, sir.

1881
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:26,180
 Thank you, guys.

1882
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:26,960
 Always roar lines.

1883
01:00:27,060 --> 01:00:27,780
 That's North Alabama

1884
01:00:27,780 --> 01:00:28,620
 head football coach

1885
01:00:28,620 --> 01:00:29,380
 Britt Dierman.

1886
01:00:29,460 --> 01:00:30,120
 We'll be back with you

1887
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:30,600
 next week.

1888
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,200
 Same time, same place.

1889
01:00:32,300 --> 01:00:32,980
 Thanks for everybody

1890
01:00:32,980 --> 01:00:34,540
 coming out live in-house.

1891
01:00:34,540 --> 01:00:35,840

1895
01:00:38,420 --> 01:00:39,020
 Coach Dierman,

1896

 and Blair back at the station.

1897
01:00:40,940 --> 01:00:41,540
 I'm Benjamin Wright

1898
01:00:41,540 --> 01:00:42,820
 saying roar lions.

1899
01:00:46,580 --> 01:00:47,640

1901

 from Lost Pizza.

1902

 you
