1
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
00:00:13,160 --> 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
00:00:28,720 --> 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
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:47,880
 Hello and welcome back down to Lost Pizza Shoals in historic downtown Florence for another week of UNA Football Night.

5
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,260
 Benjamin Ray and Mike Ezekiel with you and we're celebrating another North Alabama win.

6
00:00:52,260 --> 00:01:01,480
 The Lions have made it seven consecutive one-score ballgames, excuse me, six consecutive one-score ballgames with a 28-21 win against

7
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:09,740
 West Florida at Bank Independence Stadium. And Mike, we're used to these battles. It was another one and with Alabama had another

8
00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:10,600
 thriller at home.

9
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:19,980
 Yeah, you shared the stats. Six straight games that have been decided by one possession. Seven total this season if you go back to the Southeastern Louisiana

10
00:01:19,980 --> 00:01:27,920
 game. But four and two in those last six games. It's been the Cardiac Lions show and we saw that again the other day. And look at there, you see all the

11
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,920
 finishing plays and one of those that were really big there at the end. Fourth and goal stop, Dallas Johnson. He was involved last week on the

12
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,780
 fumble recovery against UCA. We're going to talk to him tonight, but he came up with the big touchdown saving tackle at the goal line on the

13
00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:47,680
 two-yard line. Almost reminiscent of the Titans in the Super Bowl. I was reminded of that. Kind of broke my heart. But this time on the right

14
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,860
 side of it, it was really good to see. And a huge win for the Lions.

15
00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:57,780
 We're going to hear from Dallas tonight. We got the 100-yard players. Snap Reed, Rod Taylor. Coach Dierman's in the house

16
00:01:57,780 --> 00:02:04,600
 as well. And Mike, with another tight win, North Alabama continues to position ourselves for potential

17
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,720
 postseason football. But it's got to continue against West Georgia on Saturday. Yeah, I think if you go back to

18
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,740
 the loss at Austin Peay, I think at the locker room, the conversation was, guys, we're not out of this

19
00:02:13,740 --> 00:02:18,620
 completely. You know, our back's against the wall. We're going to have to win out and kind of run the table here. And

20
00:02:18,620 --> 00:02:24,220
 that's exactly what's happened. Go to Central Arkansas, get a big win there. Step two of that was the win

21
00:02:24,220 --> 00:02:29,220
 against West Florida. And now you got to go on the road, beat West Georgia, and then it sets up a big

22
00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:34,880
 match against Tarleton here at home next week. So essentially, the playoff started two weeks ago for

23
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,580
 UNA. You just got to keep winning and give yourself a chance. And this is going to be a big one. This is a

24
00:02:39,580 --> 00:02:43,580
 West Georgia team that they're one and nine, but you got to look past their record because a lot of their

25
00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:48,600
 games, Austin Peay, it was a two-possession game. Other teams that they've played, it's been very close.

26
00:02:48,620 --> 00:02:53,460
 So this is a West Georgia team that's dangerous, especially at home. And North Alabama's got to be

27
00:02:53,460 --> 00:02:58,380
 ready to go. Two games remaining this year. It continues this Saturday in Carrollton, Georgia,

28
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:04,800
 taking on West Georgia. All right, it's time for our favorite segment every single week. Let's do some

29
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:10,600
 tailgate eats here at Lost Pizza Shows. Yeah, a round of applause. The people love it. We got Miranda

30
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,860
 Haithcock coming on up here. And Mike, she has brought some delicious looking sandwiches.

31
00:03:16,340 --> 00:03:22,100
 Just when you think we've seen it all, they come up with something new. Miranda, I like what I'm

32
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:27,180
 seeing up here. Tell us what you have delivered to the table here. Okay, so I have our full quart

33
00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:34,080
 press, which is essentially a Cuban. It's going to have ham, pork, provolone, pickles, and mustard.

34
00:03:34,420 --> 00:03:38,520
 And we've got it with the side of our house chips, which is made in-house. And then I've also got a

35
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,960
 new sandwich. This was a limited time thing last spring that we just brought back. But I got a new

36
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,720
 one. It's with the LPC sub. It's essentially just like pizza on a sandwich. It's going to have

37
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:53,860
 sausage, pepperoni, provolone, and marinara. Wow. And what is this sauce right here that goes with it?

38
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,060
 This is the side of our potato salad, again, also made in-house. You know what? Anybody that knows me

39
00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:04,420
 and Chuck knows this. I've been asking for the full court press for a long time. And I'm so glad

40
00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:08,060
 basketball season's back because it means the full court press is back, too. I'm so excited.

41
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,740
 We introduced the full court press last year during UNA basketball night. And I know my wife,

42
00:04:13,820 --> 00:04:17,480
 for one, is very excited. It's back. She likes it a lot. It's a phenomenal sandwich. But I love the

43
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,700
 homemade chips here. Oh, this is my favorite thing to snack on, especially. And again, made in-house every

44
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:28,240
 day in our own seasoning that we also do on our wings. It's just the Delta Dust dry rub. I think it's

45
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,980
 one of my favorite things we have. It's the way to go. Mike, you want to... Hey, wait. What's the

46
00:04:31,980 --> 00:04:35,940
 sauce with this? Oh, this is jalapeno ranch. Oh, yeah. Again, another thing made in-house. We use it

47
00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:40,500
 to dip it, the chips in it. Again, if you haven't tried it, you should. It's probably the best way to

48
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:44,620
 eat the chips. Mike, I'm going with the full court press. I'll let you do that. I'm going to try the

49
00:04:44,620 --> 00:04:52,420
 new sub. I'll go press later. Save me one of those. Cheers, my friend. Cheers. Our favorite segment

50
00:04:52,420 --> 00:05:03,140
 each and every week. That is delicious. It's got marinara. Yeah, it's got marinara. It hits you

51
00:05:03,140 --> 00:05:07,520
 right away, and then you get the meat and the cheese. Fantastic. It's a great ratio as well.

52
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:13,680
 It's just as good as I remember it. It's great with the jalapeno ranch. I'd never had a Cuban

53
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,080
 sandwich before until I had this one, and I'm a huge fan of this. Chuck is always a mastermind

54
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,960
 with all of this. Miranda, tell Lion fans how they can get this as part of their tailgate

55
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,000
 order for the final game of the year. Okay. Yeah, you just call in-house. You can do it

56
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,600
 literally any time between the week. You can also do it the day of and just add on. We have

57
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,520
 a tailgate menu, but you can just say, I want to add an order of the full court press or the LPC

58
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,320
 subs, and we can take care of you. Just call into the store. Miranda, thanks so much for

59
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,760
 bringing us the goodies. Thanks for pinch-hitting for Katie as well. Your second time.

60
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,960
 Thank you. Thank you. We'll take a time out when we come back. Brent Dierman stops by for the first

61

 time. This is UNA Football Night from Lost Pizza Shoals on 93.9 The Score.

 We're back with you here at Lost Pizza Shoals in historic downtown Florence for UNA football night.

95
00:09:18,020 --> 00:09:21,720
 Benjamin Ray, Mikey Ezekiel. We're excited to welcome in for the first time this evening head

96
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:27,900
 football coach Brent Dierman. North Alabama is coming off the 28-21 win against West Florida.

97
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:36,680
 The Lions head to West Georgia this Saturday to continue UAC play. 6-4, 3-2 in UAC play. North

98
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:42,420
 Alabama has one of the best records in the league as well. Receiving votes in the top 25 polls this

99
00:09:42,420 --> 00:09:47,480
 week for the great play so far this season. North Alabama head coach Brent Dierman is up next.

100
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,480
 And coach, another tight, dramatic win at home. Every game we've played has been a thriller. How did

101
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:59,320
 this one feel? Oh, I was probably animated a lot in the fourth quarter there. If anybody was watching

102
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:08,840
 me, I thought we could have put them away when the games 21-7 come out of half. I felt like we had all

103
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:15,420
 the momentum in the game and we made some bonehead plays, bonehead decisions, let them get back in it,

104
00:10:15,420 --> 00:10:21,800
 gave them some hope, gave them a little bit of momentum back. But I was still proud of our guys.

105
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:27,340
 I mean, defensively, they were one of the better defenses in our conference. Offensively, they've

106
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:32,240
 kind of been up and down all year long, but have some talented players. And to see the grit and the

107
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,280
 fight in our players, I mean, it's just going, anytime you're in a diverse situation like that,

108
00:10:36,340 --> 00:10:43,040
 it just makes your team better. And if we win by 30 points in that game, we all probably feel a little

109
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,440
 bit better in the second half. But when you win games like that, it grows your team in so many

110
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,900
 different ways. So you've got to see the positive in those things and to see the fight our guys had

111
00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:57,200
 for all four quarters. Coach, there's been three teams in the nation this year that have had

112
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,940
 seven one-possession games to lead the nation. We're one of them. And then Southern Utah and

113
00:11:02,940 --> 00:11:07,720
 Furman are the other two. They're one in six in those games. We're four in three. And so to be able to

114
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,280
 pull out wins in those close games. And you said you haven't been a part of that many games where

115
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,220
 it's come down to the goal line. But just talk about what it's like being on the right side of

116
00:11:16,220 --> 00:11:22,660
 that. Oh, you go back to last year. I mean, last year we lost three games in overtime. Yeah, I believe

117
00:11:22,660 --> 00:11:28,640
 all three of them either by missed field goal, missed extra point. You had a lot of one possession

118
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:34,620
 games last year that I bet. We were not winning those games. And to be winning these games now,

119
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:41,220
 to have a winning record in them, it just shows the sign of upward movement with our program. It shows

120
00:11:41,220 --> 00:11:47,380
 the culture we have in our locker room of guys that are just resilient, that never quit. You know,

121
00:11:47,420 --> 00:11:52,240
 you got one of them here tonight. You're probably going to talk to Dallas about it. But to see Trey

122
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:59,080
 Young and Dallas both didn't have great games as a whole. But it come down to those two guys that

123
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:05,620
 that previous drive both got butt chewings on the sideline that they knew that they had some busts in

124
00:12:05,620 --> 00:12:12,340
 the game, but never quit, never pouted, never tucked their tail between their legs and to make big

125
00:12:12,340 --> 00:12:17,460
 time get plays in that game. And like you said, I've been 18 years of coaching and I haven't won games

126
00:12:17,460 --> 00:12:23,540
 inside the five-yard line my entire 18 years of coaching. And to have three wins inside the three-yard

127
00:12:23,540 --> 00:12:29,160
 line really is pretty remarkable. The defense does it yet again. And coach, the offense had had a pretty

128
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,620
 good night as well. A hundred-yard rusher in Roderick Taylor. We're going to hear from him. Snap Reed,

129
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,940
 a hundred yards. And you get most of it with a lot of yak yards after catch. He was just running away

130
00:12:38,940 --> 00:12:44,140
 from guys. Destin had a hundred-yard game. X was very close to a hundred-yard game. We almost had

131
00:12:44,140 --> 00:12:47,540
 two hundred-yard rushers, two hundred-yard receivers, which would have been the first time

132
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:51,660
 in program history. Yeah, it was a special night, especially in that first half. First half,

133
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:58,480
 I thought everything was working and popping, going really well. We had some busts, some errors,

134
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:04,620
 some mental errors, some technique errors in the second half preventing us from doing it as well

135
00:13:04,620 --> 00:13:08,280
 in that second half. But man, you're starting to see it come together. You're starting to see the

136
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:14,780
 flow of all three phases. When offense, defense, and special teams all play well, we've got a chance

137
00:13:14,780 --> 00:13:20,120
 to beat anybody in the country. So you'd like to see that momentum of that first half offense continue

138
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:26,240
 on. And Ben rattled some of those off. It was a match to career high in rushing for Destin. It was a

139
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,520
 career high in receiving for Snap. But Rod Taylor, career high for him as well. And that touchdown run

140
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,240
 was the longest run of his career. And it really broke the game open there in the second quarter,

141
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,900
 the go-ahead score. Talk about Rod and just the ability he has to run the football.

142
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:44,960
 You know, that was a big play in the game. We had just, I think we're in a third and 20 plus,

143
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:52,400
 third and long. 23. We had an O-lineman jump off sides on a freeze play, and I was losing it on

144
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,980
 the headset. A lot of times, Coach Partridge gets an earful from me because instead of yelling at the

145
00:13:57,980 --> 00:14:04,000
 player, I end up yelling at Coach Partridge so I don't get the player in the dumps. So Coach Partridge

146
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,640
 takes a lot of the players chewing sometimes. And I was still in mid-Yale. And we just called a power

147
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:15,780
 because there's not many plays designed for third and 24. So we just called a run play and to see

148
00:14:15,780 --> 00:14:20,880
 our guys execute right there, see Rod have that big play in the game. And like you said, that was

149
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,060
 really the momentum swing of the game was that third down conversion for a touchdown.

150
00:14:25,380 --> 00:14:30,440
 And Coach, the win keeps the postseason hopes alive. Now we got to take care of the next task at hand,

151
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:34,760
 West Georgia. But what's been the continued message to the team as we got the win on Saturday?

152
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:40,440
 You know, the message to them was it's a win. You always celebrate wins in college football. It's a

153
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:46,960
 conference win, which is even more important. But now, you know, most people are going to look at a

154
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,840
 two-week time period. Most people are going to look at the next two weeks of what can be.

155
00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:56,380
 We're not going to do that. We're going to focus on today. We're going to focus on really the next

156
00:14:56,380 --> 00:15:00,840
 five days was our message at the end of practice yesterday. You've got Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

157
00:15:01,020 --> 00:15:07,620
 Friday, Saturday to prepare for a good team on the road. We were not going to look ahead. We're not

158
00:15:07,620 --> 00:15:10,280
 going to think about the future. We're not going to think about playoffs. We're not going to think

159
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,540
 about Tarleton State. We have West Georgia on our mind and we're going to give everything we can

160
00:15:14,540 --> 00:15:19,240
 to tomorrow's practice on Tuesday. We've got to win tomorrow. That's been our message.

161
00:15:19,740 --> 00:15:24,720
 Coach, it's obvious to me. I want to go to the locker room after the game. And it seems like

162
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,020
 anytime you get emotional, it's probably going to be in there when you're with your guys or

163
00:15:28,020 --> 00:15:31,880
 celebrating with you. And something that means a lot to me, it's the guys like Jahing Ingram,

164
00:15:32,020 --> 00:15:35,460
 Colin Wright, and they're coming over to you and they're hugging you because they've been through

165
00:15:35,460 --> 00:15:40,680
 it with you. And to see the buy-in from this team at this point in the season and to see how much

166
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,760
 they want to celebrate with you, how much you want to celebrate with them, it's got to mean a lot.

167
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,080
 I'll tell you what, this one hit me for whatever reason. It hit me after this game.

168
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,720
 I walk in the locker room, Jaheim Ingram's always the one standing there waiting on me.

169
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,980
 He's got the sledgehammer in his hand. The whole team's standing there waiting around the rock to

170
00:15:57,980 --> 00:16:04,560
 see who's going to get to swing the hammer. And it hit me, man. Like, to see Jaheim and Colin

171
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:11,240
 Wright, what all we've been through, I started tearing up a little bit. They started yelling at me,

172
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:16,360
 Coach, don't cry in front of us here. But, I mean, to know where we've come from, to know the

173
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:22,520
 struggles, to know the heartache, to know the tough losses that we've had, to know all the

174
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:28,720
 things and the obstacles and the hurdles and the driving across town to go practice 12 minutes

175
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:35,020
 away every day, the wrecks that would happen out there, all the stuff. And to see the moment

176
00:16:35,020 --> 00:16:41,100
 we've been in, in this beautiful stadium, and the team that's come together, and to see the

177
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:46,200
 us winning the way we are, it all just hit me in that moment. And it was just a special

178
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,120
 moment after this game.

179
00:16:47,580 --> 00:16:52,100
 And Coach, we're building a lot of traditions at Bank Independence Stadium, and it's also

180
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:56,240
 pretty cool to hear the band play the battle hymn, the fight song as well. What's it like

181
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,100
 after those wins with that team over there in that moment?

182
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:05,540
 Well, I'm usually trying to fight y'all at this moment in time. Mike is usually pulling

183
00:17:05,540 --> 00:17:10,920
 me to do TV or radio, and the team's down there about to sing the fight song, and half

184
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:17,200
 of my heart's down there in the fight song. But, man, it's not just the band. It's the

185
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:23,100
 cheerleaders. It's the dance team. We have an amazing student section. And somebody highlighted

186
00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:29,040
 this to me earlier. I think it was Matt doing news earlier today. We score a touchdown.

187
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:35,160
 Everybody's celebrating. Big Josh White, after the QB sneak, goes and celebrates with the student

188
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,680
 section. I mean, our student section's amazing. So, I think we've just created an amazing home

189
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,860
 atmosphere, and our players want to soak it up as much as they possibly can, because everybody

190
00:17:45,860 --> 00:17:51,020
 contributes to winning. It's not just the 22 players on the field. It's the game day ops

191
00:17:51,020 --> 00:17:55,080
 that helps to winning. It's our fan base that helps to winning. It's the cheerleaders that

192
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,420
 help winning. Everybody that's there helps us win football games.

193
00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:02,360
 Yeah, and it's amazing that it kind of takes place in the end zone. You talk about that one

194
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:06,100
 side, but I'm thinking a snapper. He's touched down on the other side of the field. He's

195
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:11,200
 blowing a kiss to his girlfriend. He's high-fiving all the kids down there. Kind of a cool environment

196
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,580
 to have the end zones, you know, lined up that way.

197
00:18:14,580 --> 00:18:19,860
 Yeah, it is. One section of the field, you've got the kids rolling down the hill for three

198
00:18:19,860 --> 00:18:25,060
 hours straight going crazy. I think most of Snap's touchdowns, I think, have been on that

199
00:18:25,060 --> 00:18:29,040
 end of the field. So, he gets to celebrate with the eight-year-olds rolling down the hill.

200
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,060
 The other end of the field, they're having a different kind of celebration that probably

201
00:18:33,060 --> 00:18:40,400
 started earlier in the day that carries over into the student section. And they're just big

202
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,180
 kids. I mean, they're big kids celebrating. And some of them are still rolling down the hill over

203
00:18:45,180 --> 00:18:48,820
 there for other reasons. But it's an awesome environment.

204
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,300
 It's turning into a great place to play indeed. And we've got one more game at home. But first,

205
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:58,340
 we've got to go on the road to West Georgia. One o'clock Central time kick. We'll get to more on West

206
00:18:58,340 --> 00:19:01,700
 Georgia here in just a little bit. Let's take another timeout. When we come back, we've got some big

207
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:06,460
 plays to talk about with Coach and Mike's trivia question as well. That's on the other side of this

208
00:19:06,460 --> 00:19:10,180
 break. This is UNA Football Night from Lost Pizza Shoals on 93.9 The Score.

247
00:22:34,660 --> 00:22:38,960
 North Alabama wins it 28-21 at home against West Florida.

248
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:41,920
 Two games remaining on the road at West Georgia this weekend.

249
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,580
 Tarleton State to close out the regular season in two weeks at BI Stadium.

250
00:22:47,140 --> 00:22:50,620
 Coach, let's jump into some of the heroic efforts we saw from players,

251
00:22:50,620 --> 00:22:54,420
 and let's kind of start on the defensive side of the football with a record watch.

252
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,100
 Avery Howard got credit for a sack in that ballgame.

253
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,060
 He continues to have one of the most spectacular seasons in program history.

254
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,900
 Now up to nine sacks.

255
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,320
 He's two away from the all-time record.

256
00:23:05,740 --> 00:23:08,640
 And, again, it's getting harder and harder for him every single week.

257
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,820
 Yeah, I mean, he's getting double-teamed.

258
00:23:10,940 --> 00:23:13,900
 He's getting tight ends chipping him, tailbacks chipping him.

259
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,200
 They're getting a lot of quick game passes out on him.

260
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,700
 He's a special player that's having a special season.

261
00:23:21,180 --> 00:23:23,500
 And so, because he's drawing attention to him,

262
00:23:23,820 --> 00:23:26,100
 you're seeing other guys that are having good numbers as well.

263
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,180
 I think we lead the league in sacks.

264
00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:30,460
 I think we've got 30 sacks on the season as a whole.

265
00:23:30,940 --> 00:23:35,420
 And a lot of us because we've got so many good pass rushers.

266
00:23:35,540 --> 00:23:38,640
 Our defensive staff does a great job of scheming some things up.

267
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,760
 But, man, I'm so excited for Avery,

268
00:23:40,860 --> 00:23:43,860
 a guy that's really sold out to this program and his development

269
00:23:43,860 --> 00:23:48,040
 and being here four years and now getting to reap the benefits of everything that he's done.

270
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:50,480
 Yeah, we're coming up on that FCS record, Coach.

271
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,520
 And we were talking off air earlier, did he get credit for the sack?

272
00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:56,100
 It was kind of an unusual one, but actually he did.

273
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,000
 At first it was considered a tackle for loss

274
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,080
 because the quarterback got flushed out of the pocket.

275
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:03,700
 And then you have to determine, is he going to throw the ball

276
00:24:03,700 --> 00:24:04,980
 or does he tuck it and run?

277
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,180
 The tucking would change that from a sack,

278
00:24:07,220 --> 00:24:10,320
 but he actually kept it in his throw in hand so we determined it was a sack.

279
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,160
 So he got it in an unusual way.

280
00:24:12,220 --> 00:24:14,280
 But Avery Howard, he's just so good on the boundaries.

281
00:24:14,540 --> 00:24:16,500
 And even a play like that, he could get credit.

282
00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:18,100
 Well, he can run with all quarterbacks.

283
00:24:18,260 --> 00:24:22,040
 I mean, he's probably the first or second fastest player on our football team,

284
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,720
 which is unbelievable for a defensive end.

285
00:24:24,900 --> 00:24:28,660
 And there's not a quarterback in our league that can outrun him.

286
00:24:28,660 --> 00:24:31,500
 So that's why that quarterback had to run out of bounds this past weekend

287
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:33,300
 because Avery was gaining ground on him.

288
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,500
 And he thought he had an angle but realized he didn't.

289
00:24:36,660 --> 00:24:43,400
 So his speed, his bendability that he has is what makes him as good as he is.

290
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,740
 The other player we need to talk about for the sixth time in ten weeks,

291
00:24:48,220 --> 00:24:50,800
 Xavier Johnson wins UAC Freshman of the Week.

292
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,000
 One of the weeks he didn't win it,

293
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,680
 he was honorable mention National Freshman of the Week,

294
00:24:54,780 --> 00:24:55,860
 which is kind of ironic.

295
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,920
 But there he is, fourth most receiving yards in a season in program history,

296
00:25:00,020 --> 00:25:01,960
 knocking on the door of Dre Hall in third place,

297
00:25:02,380 --> 00:25:05,500
 Michael Edwards in second place, just 13 yards away from that.

298
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:11,360
 He held that record from 94 to 2016, trying to catch Dre Hall's all-time mark of 2016.

299
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,960
 And Coach Rasol X break loose with a deep shot as well.

300
00:25:15,060 --> 00:25:18,660
 And two games left, he can really have another big impact on this program.

301
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,160
 Yeah, we were talking about it earlier.

302
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,760
 You think about some great players on this list.

303
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:27,220
 Dre Hall that season, I think he played 15 games because that was a national championship season.

304
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,040
 Michael Edwards played a lot of games that season.

305
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,980
 I bet he was wide open in that offense that they were running a lot of times, running that waggle pass.

306
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:42,740
 And to see X to do it in really nine games, because he didn't really play against Eastern Kentucky,

307
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,180
 just tells you how special a player he is.

308
00:25:46,020 --> 00:25:50,540
 The whole game, I'm bugging Coach Partridge usually, because I want to run the ball,

309
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,460
 because that's what's in me, is my dad, my O-line coach's dad, we want to run the football.

310
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,660
 So he gets conflicting messages from me, because I tell him, hey, let's run the ball.

311
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,940
 But then I'll say, hey, how are we going to get snapped the ball?

312
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,320
 How are we going to get X'd the ball?

313
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,500
 How are we getting Rod the ball?

314
00:26:04,860 --> 00:26:06,580
 Like, the whole game, I'm just bugging him.

315
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,000
 So after the first quarter, I don't think X touched the ball in the first quarter.

316
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,000
 And I was already, hey, what are we going to do to get X'd the ball now?

317
00:26:13,060 --> 00:26:14,000
 We've got to get X rolling here.

318
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:16,480
 So I'm usually in his ear bugging him to death.

319
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,800
 Yeah, and X has already broken the D1 record that Takari had originally set

320
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,860
 for 100-yard games in a season.

321
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,700
 One more would actually break the all-time record, because Dre also had four.

322
00:26:26,860 --> 00:26:29,340
 So he's a guy that could do it.

323
00:26:29,580 --> 00:26:30,720
 He gets these 100-yard games.

324
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:33,220
 He gets these big chunk plays as well.

325
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:35,880
 And a really good target for Destin down the field.

326
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,420
 And Destin does a good job putting it to him.

327
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,980
 Yeah, he tries too much.

328
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,900
 Both of Destin's interceptions came from him trying to get Xavier the football,

329
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,540
 because he fills such a security blanket with X.

330
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,580
 Sometimes he forces it to X.

331
00:26:50,260 --> 00:26:54,180
 But it's a good thing, because sometimes I'm yelling, hey, he's got single coverage,

332
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,080
 means he's not covered.

333
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,880
 But then we get an interception, and I'm yelling the other way.

334
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,320
 So he's just a great player.

335
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,040
 We've got a bunch of great players.

336
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:07,620
 Because of X attention that he gets, it's probably why we had two rushers for 100 yards

337
00:27:07,620 --> 00:27:09,940
 between Destin and Rod.

338
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,620
 Because of the attention X gets, snap usually gets single coverage as well.

339
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,160
 So I think they're all thriving off of each other right now.

340
00:27:17,580 --> 00:27:22,280
 Quick programming note, the UNA men just tied Oklahoma on the road 25-25.

341
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,200
 The UNA women are up nine on the road against Jacksonville State

342
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,980
 as we head into this crossover time.

343
00:27:27,980 --> 00:27:29,400
 So good Monday night.

344
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,700
 Victory Monday hopefully continuing for multiple programs.

345
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:35,360
 Coach, let's jump into our plays of the week.

346
00:27:35,580 --> 00:27:37,500
 I mean, we picked a lot in the first one.

347
00:27:37,820 --> 00:27:39,600
 Let's give a lot of credit to Snap Reid here.

348
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,820
 This show just kind of grow man football as a wide receiver.

349
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,260
 Yeah, it's a third and four, third and five.

350
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,400
 West Florida had a heavy tendency of playing man coverage.

351
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,140
 Coach Partridge, our offensive staff, did a good job of we're going to get in this bunch

352
00:27:53,140 --> 00:27:58,140
 of formation and try to have receivers going all over the place to set picks for each other,

353
00:27:58,580 --> 00:28:04,540
 which allowed Snap to get kind of loose coverage with the guy that's trying to play him off man,

354
00:28:04,940 --> 00:28:10,020
 makes the catch, big body, gets vertical, breaks through a tackle,

355
00:28:10,380 --> 00:28:15,000
 and once again gets to go down to the end zone with the little kids and have a great time right there.

356
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:18,760
 But great job with our offensive staff scheming something up against man coverage.

357
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,120
 You know, it's funny, Dre Hall, we talked a lot about him on that list.

358
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,880
 Snap reminds me a little bit of Dre Hall.

359
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,720
 It seems like he catches everything thrown his way.

360
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:26,880
 He caught that one in stride.

361
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:28,280
 He's just so physical, too.

362
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,280
 And to break that tackle while holding on to the ball, I mean, that's not an easy thing to do.

363
00:28:33,540 --> 00:28:34,020
 It isn't.

364
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,680
 A guy's coming from behind you, usually just grabbing around your waist.

365
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:43,260
 You've got to have a great kind of balance to you as you're going through this.

366
00:28:43,340 --> 00:28:44,680
 You've also got to keep your eye on the ball.

367
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,780
 So there's a lot that goes to this, but he's one of the best that we have.

368
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,820
 So just a heck of a play and a big moment in this football game that tied it up in the first quarter right there.

369
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,660
 And, Coach, he had another big catch go in the other way where he really dragged defenders down the field.

370
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,020
 So a strong guy as well.

371
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:01,460
 He is.

372
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,420
 He's a big body, thick receiver.

373
00:29:04,460 --> 00:29:07,080
 He's got, you know, thick upper body, thick legs.

374
00:29:07,260 --> 00:29:11,800
 So that allows him to play kind of bigger than most receivers.

375
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:13,240
 Let's jump into the next play.

376
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,580
 And this is one of my favorite plays of the game, and you touched on this.

377
00:29:15,660 --> 00:29:18,380
 We just had a holding penalty, backed us up 15 yards.

378
00:29:18,460 --> 00:29:20,900
 A false start, backed us up another five yards.

379
00:29:21,020 --> 00:29:21,820
 You said, what do you do?

380
00:29:21,860 --> 00:29:23,040
 You just kind of run it up the middle.

381
00:29:23,140 --> 00:29:28,120
 And Roderick Taylor, the offensive line coach, it felt like they may have been looking for redemption on that run.

382
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,980
 Yeah, I'm going to give a shout-out to the O-line a little bit here.

383
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:37,060
 I think West Florida was giving up only about 120 yards rushing per game.

384
00:29:37,540 --> 00:29:39,700
 One of the best rushing defenses in our league.

385
00:29:39,860 --> 00:29:45,580
 And our offensive line, our running backs, our quarterbacks did a great job of running the football.

386
00:29:45,820 --> 00:29:49,120
 To rush for over 200 yards against them, really set the tone for this game.

387
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,720
 Third and 23, if they would have had me somewhere in this picture to start this play,

388
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,580
 I was probably blood red, ticked off because of holding penalty, all sides penalty.

389
00:29:59,380 --> 00:30:06,240
 And then to see him burst through there, right about now I'm starting to change my tone and get excited.

390
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,480
 But Rod's a downhill back.

391
00:30:09,660 --> 00:30:10,400
 He hit it downhill.

392
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,340
 I don't know if he made a cut in that play.

393
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,540
 He was going downhill and he was going to score on that play.

394
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:19,560
 Right here at the beginning, let's go back to Peter Okafor and his pull right there.

395
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,840
 It seemed like he made a really good block.

396
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:21,620
 He did.

397
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:28,020
 The tight end and the right tackle do a good job of what we call a trade block or a double team to the backside linebacker.

398
00:30:28,460 --> 00:30:30,460
 Peter's pulling for the Mike linebacker.

399
00:30:30,540 --> 00:30:33,500
 And I think their Mike linebacker is one of the better linebackers in our league.

400
00:30:34,140 --> 00:30:40,840
 Peter gets inside out on him and kicks him out, opening up that kind of B-gap area right there for Rod to run a downhill run.

401
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,360
 So, a lot went into that.

402
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,960
 And, Coach, we're talking about the O-lines and the penalties.

403
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,880
 We just mentioned Peter Okafor.

404
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,280
 You also work in Eli Long.

405
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:55,140
 I mean, these are not guys who you expected to have starting, but they have stepped in and they continue to do a great job on the offensive line.

406
00:30:55,260 --> 00:31:03,120
 They do, and I'll tell you what, something that we probably don't get as much credit for because we're playing with a five-guard lineup now.

407
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:11,260
 They have one of the best pass rushers in the league in per year, and I don't think we give up a sack, from my knowledge.

408
00:31:11,700 --> 00:31:17,600
 And to go against a team like that that has some really talented pass rushers and not give a sack up is pretty good.

409
00:31:17,940 --> 00:31:20,000
 So, I think our offensive line is playing really well right now.

410
00:31:20,380 --> 00:31:24,400
 And, Coach, the last play that we want to look at, well, it's the game-winning play right here.

411
00:31:24,540 --> 00:31:26,360
 Fourth and goal, it came down to this.

412
00:31:26,620 --> 00:31:27,720
 Almost got the sack.

413
00:31:28,020 --> 00:31:29,740
 Everybody got scared here in Dallas.

414
00:31:29,820 --> 00:31:31,380
 Johnson said, hey, I've been here before.

415
00:31:31,660 --> 00:31:31,980
 Absolutely.

416
00:31:32,300 --> 00:31:38,400
 I mean, just the week before, he's the guy that recovered the ball against UCA in the end zone, had a pick in the end zone.

417
00:31:38,940 --> 00:31:40,040
 He's played a lot of football.

418
00:31:40,180 --> 00:31:41,580
 I think that's what separates Dallas.

419
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:48,460
 You know, he's been a starter at the NAI level, been a starter at the D2 level, and then comes here playing good football right now.

420
00:31:48,460 --> 00:31:50,820
 And, Coach Bowen dialed up a zero blitz.

421
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,220
 And when you go zero blitz, those DBs are on an island completely.

422
00:31:54,860 --> 00:31:59,120
 It forces the quarterback to try to get the ball of his hands a little bit earlier than he wants to.

423
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,940
 And for Dallas to make that play, never give up, get that guy on the ground, that was huge.

424
00:32:04,420 --> 00:32:11,280
 That was the game-saving play right after Trey makes the heck of a tackle on the tight end of the shoot right there.

425
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:19,300
 Now, I don't know how many times you've gotten to watch us play and try to, I guess, go into the offensive mind of West Florida, but who do you think they're trying to target there?

426
00:32:19,340 --> 00:32:21,020
 Do you think that was their primary guy?

427
00:32:21,220 --> 00:32:22,680
 I think that's the primary guy.

428
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,840
 I think they're running a dagger concept where the tight end is trying to run vertical, try to take a safety out of there.

429
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,080
 And then they're trying to replace it with a dig route.

430
00:32:30,180 --> 00:32:35,120
 So, the tight end is really kind of option one, but he's rarely ever open because he takes everybody's attention.

431
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:41,820
 And they're trying to get that dig route behind them with some run after catch right there.

432
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,260
 And Dallas was right there on him, so he couldn't do it.

433
00:32:44,260 --> 00:32:49,980
 So many heroes of the night that helped North Alabama get the 28-21 win against West Florida.

434
00:32:50,380 --> 00:32:51,620
 We're going to give Coach here a breather.

435
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,500
 We're going to catch up with him towards the end of the show.

436
00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:56,820
 When we come back, we've got all three heroes, Snap, Rod, and Dallas.

437
00:32:56,940 --> 00:32:58,280
 We just chatted about their plays.

438
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,280
 Now we're going to hear directly from them next after we get Mike's trivia question.

439
00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:02,580
 Wow.

440
00:33:02,980 --> 00:33:03,820
 How about that?

441
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:04,940
 Almost got it.

442
00:33:04,940 --> 00:33:05,620
 Almost forgot it.

443
00:33:05,620 --> 00:33:07,080
 Hey, he play-actioned us right there.

444
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,420
 I was faked out.

445
00:33:08,740 --> 00:33:11,180
 All right, Coach, I didn't tip you off to this one at all.

446
00:33:11,340 --> 00:33:14,200
 You said, I don't know what to expect.

447
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,460
 I said, maybe go back two years ago to West Georgia.

448
00:33:16,580 --> 00:33:18,520
 You said, well, we held the ball for a long time.

449
00:33:18,780 --> 00:33:19,380
 So it's funny.

450
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,260
 That is today's trivia question.

451
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,120
 What was our time of possession the last time we played in Carrollton?

452
00:33:25,260 --> 00:33:31,560
 Time of possession that night had to have been like, I'm just going to take a guess and say 40 minutes.

453
00:33:31,900 --> 00:33:33,120
 It was over 40 minutes.

454
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,020
 It was a school record, 43-16.

455
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,760
 43 minutes is unbelievable.

456
00:33:38,140 --> 00:33:41,900
 And if you can go back and just kind of remind us what happened in that game.

457
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,700
 What worked so well for us to hold the ball that long?

458
00:33:44,780 --> 00:33:50,980
 I don't know how many people remember this, but it was a hurricane hit the day before.

459
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,880
 And the hurricane got all the way up into the Atlanta area.

460
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,820
 And all of Atlanta was flooded.

461
00:33:57,060 --> 00:33:57,380
 That's right.

462
00:33:57,380 --> 00:34:00,500
 And Carrollton being just outside got hit pretty hard.

463
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,440
 And that grass field was very, very soft.

464
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,080
 It was hard to cut.

465
00:34:06,740 --> 00:34:11,240
 And so we kind of, when we got on that field, we said, we know it's going to be a struggle throwing the football.

466
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,040
 We were running the ball well at that time.

467
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,160
 So we just committed to the run because of the conditions of the field more than anything.

468
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:22,140
 And, you know, we had a running quarterback with T.J. Smith, which helped us out as well.

469
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:24,300
 So a lot of different things went into that one.

470
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,640
 There's one more part of this question, too, Coach.

471
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,500
 We had a safety earlier this year against Sanford,

472
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,320
 and that was the first time we had had a safety since that very game in 2024.

473
00:34:33,860 --> 00:34:36,180
 Do you remember who had the game-winning safety in that game?

474
00:34:36,300 --> 00:34:38,720
 Game-winning safety from that day.

475
00:34:40,380 --> 00:34:41,620
 Oh, Jackson Bratton?

476
00:34:41,740 --> 00:34:43,080
 It was Jackson Bratton.

477
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:44,160
 Well done, Coach.

478
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,460
 You got one right today.

479
00:34:45,460 --> 00:34:48,220
 It was a good day and a good play to end it.

480
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:49,240
 He was a good player.

481
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:49,860
 He was.

482
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:51,060
 We'll take a time out.

483
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:53,800
 When we come back, we'll catch up with Snap and Rod.

484
00:34:53,900 --> 00:34:57,560

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

517
00:37:05,780 --> 00:37:08,220
 and football season is officially back at the carriage.

518
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,480
 All season long, we'll have the games rolling with plenty of cold drinks,

00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,540

536
00:38:23,420 --> 00:38:24,860
 Benjamin Ray, Mike Ezekiel.

537
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:27,960
 And we've got some offensive heroes from the win against West Florida.

538
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,940
 Sitting right next to me, we've got Roderick Taylor.

539
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:37,040
 Rod had 15 carries, 101 yards, one touchdown off of a 45-yard run.

540
00:38:37,420 --> 00:38:40,940
 He's from Baker, Alabama, or Baker High School.

541
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,040
 And then we've got from Tennessee State, the transfer.

542
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,200
 Glad they're both Lions.

543
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,120
 We welcome in Snap Reed.

544
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,860
 Six catches, 117 yards, a touchdown as well.

545
00:38:50,980 --> 00:38:53,160
 Fellas, thank you both for joining us here tonight.

546
00:38:53,300 --> 00:38:55,980
 Snap, return visit here for you, man.

547
00:38:56,020 --> 00:38:57,560
 How good did that win feel on Saturday?

548
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,980
 I felt great getting a win against a – they used to be ranked, West Florida.

549
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:03,100
 That's right, earlier this year.

550
00:39:03,140 --> 00:39:05,780
 It was a good old West Florida team, so that was a good win to get.

551
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:07,840
 Rod, have the win feel for you?

552
00:39:08,020 --> 00:39:09,940
 It felt good, good team win.

553
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,660
 Yeah, big one for both of you guys.

554
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,380
 And I want to ask a question that's complimentary to both of you.

555
00:39:16,020 --> 00:39:18,720
 Snap, you can answer it first, and Rod, I want you to answer after.

556
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:23,140
 What does a guy like Rod Taylor in the backfield do for a wide receiver like Snap Reed?

557
00:39:23,140 --> 00:39:27,060
 And then, Rod, what does a wide receiver like Snap in that wide receiver room,

558
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,400
 what does it do for you as a running back?

559
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,680
 Rod running the ball so good, and then we've got X on the field too, so it opens up a lot.

560
00:39:33,780 --> 00:39:36,460
 Like, you can't double – you can't really go out there and double nobody.

561
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:41,800
 Then you want to stack the box against Rod, but you can't because then it's going to go over the top.

562
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,120
 So, Rod running the ball so good, it just opens up the whole offense for everybody.

563
00:39:46,020 --> 00:39:46,320
 Yeah.

564
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:54,000
 And with the receiver, with Snap and X, the safety is going to be over top, you know,

565
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,560
 so that make it good for the run game.

566
00:39:57,100 --> 00:39:58,040
 So, what does it snap?

567
00:39:58,140 --> 00:39:58,520
 Just it.

568
00:39:59,080 --> 00:39:59,240
 Yep.

569
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,180
 Rod, I want to go back to you, man.

570
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,840
 You're running the football so hard.

571
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,080
 Where does that physical style of running the football come from?

572
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:07,680
 It's just in me.

573
00:40:07,860 --> 00:40:08,540
 It's just in you?

574
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:09,100
 It's just in me.

575
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,140
 It's just in me.

576
00:40:10,780 --> 00:40:15,460
 Is there any running back you try to emulate, copy, run-like?

577
00:40:16,240 --> 00:40:17,560
 I just try to be myself.

578
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,920
 I watch a lot of running backs, though.

579
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:20,320
 Who are some of the guys you watch?

580
00:40:21,500 --> 00:40:22,760
 I watch Derrick Henry.

581
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,140
 I watch a lot of running backs.

582
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,980
 Nick Cho, I watch a lot of running backs.

583
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,280
 Well, you named off a lot of guys that run like you do.

584
00:40:31,460 --> 00:40:31,580
 Yeah.

585
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,580
 And then Snap, for you, man, the yak, and you were running through guys the other night.

586
00:40:35,660 --> 00:40:38,680
 I mean, do you classify yourself as a physical receiver like that?

587
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:39,540
 Yes, sir.

588
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,960
 I think I classify myself as a physical receiver.

589
00:40:42,140 --> 00:40:45,180
 My dad will talk about me bad if I'm not physical, so, you know.

590
00:40:46,700 --> 00:40:47,940
 No, we love it.

591
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,200
 It's really good to see.

592
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,000
 And I want both of you to kind of talk about those touchdown plays that you had.

593
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,460
 Snap, obviously you had the first one, so we'll start with you.

594
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,480
 Talk about that touchdown catch.

595
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,180
 You had to shake off a guy right there to run to the end zone.

596
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,400
 And then I want to hear about the celebration after.

597
00:41:02,660 --> 00:41:07,560
 Okay, so we got in a stacked look that Austin Peay did against them when they played them.

598
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,320
 And it gave me leverage on the corner.

599
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,080
 I was playing like 10 yards outside of me, one-on-one.

600
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,420
 So, the look, it worked out perfectly.

601
00:41:15,660 --> 00:41:18,200
 You know, X, he took up the point guy right there.

602
00:41:18,660 --> 00:41:21,140
 And then Noah Gregg took two people with him on that play.

603
00:41:21,260 --> 00:41:22,880
 So, I got the one-on-one.

604
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:28,060
 And I was just fortunate enough to, you know, make the guy miss and then go run to the end zone with nobody there left.

605
00:41:28,580 --> 00:41:31,000
 And then the celebration, my girlfriend was watching.

606
00:41:31,300 --> 00:41:32,580
 So, I blew her kids.

607
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:37,140
 And then the fans and the kids, I love the kids.

608
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:43,140
 So, you know, when I was a little kid, I used to love going to high school games with my dad.

609
00:41:43,140 --> 00:41:46,660
 So, I just know, like, how big that can be for kids as an end zone.

610
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:47,720
 So, I like to celebrate with them.

611
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,300
 I love that.

612
00:41:49,460 --> 00:41:51,600
 Rod, let's jump into your touchdown run, man.

613
00:41:51,660 --> 00:41:54,140
 The offensive line had a tough couple of moments, right?

614
00:41:54,340 --> 00:41:56,140
 What were you seeing as you hit the hole right there?

615
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,040
 Nothing but the end zone?

616
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,220
 Nothing but the end zone.

617
00:41:58,460 --> 00:41:59,380
 Peter cleared it up.

618
00:42:00,060 --> 00:42:01,620
 When did you know you were going to score?

619
00:42:02,180 --> 00:42:03,280
 When I seen Peter Butt.

620
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,860
 So, when Peter Okafor pulled, you knew that was when you were going to score, man.

621
00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:15,220
 Was that kind of the cherry on top, the sweetness for your game, your 100-yard game with that touchdown run right there?

622
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:15,860
 Yes, sir.

623
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:16,840
 Yes, sir.

624
00:42:17,340 --> 00:42:21,700
 And it looks like there's a safety there at the top that he slips a little bit.

625
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:22,820
 You had to make him miss.

626
00:42:23,060 --> 00:42:25,280
 Once you got past him, too, you probably knew you were gone.

627
00:42:25,540 --> 00:42:26,000
 Yes, sir.

628
00:42:26,420 --> 00:42:28,640
 And then tell us about your touchdown celebration.

629
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,400
 What were you thinking when you hit the end zone?

630
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,080
 Oh, sharp.

631
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:32,860
 Sharp, sharp, sharp.

632
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:33,280
 Sharp.

633
00:42:33,740 --> 00:42:35,860
 What's it like celebrating with the students down there?

634
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:36,860
 Oh, yeah, I feel good.

635
00:42:36,860 --> 00:42:38,340
 They loud, you know.

636
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:39,560
 It was good.

637
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:40,980
 It was good.

638
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:43,000
 And that was the longest run of your career.

639
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:44,600
 Did you feel a little gassed after that?

640
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,420
 No, I was ready to go again.

641
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:48,620
 I was ready to go again.

642
00:42:48,740 --> 00:42:49,260
 I love it.

643
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,920
 Well, fellas, we appreciate both of you guys stopping by.

644
00:42:51,980 --> 00:42:54,800

 Chatting with the heroes from North Alabama's 28-21 win against West Florida on Saturday.

689
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:33,080
 Next up, you've seen them make the game-winning play the last two weeks.

690
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,980
 Dallas Johnson from Orlando, Florida, first-year cornerback.

691
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,860
 He started all ten games, stops by two weeks ago in Conway.

692
00:46:41,020 --> 00:46:43,620
 He recovered the fumble in the end zone that sealed the win.

693
00:46:43,900 --> 00:46:50,160
 This week, he had the game-sealing tackle on the two-yard line on fourth down to give North Alabama the win.

694
00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:51,940
 The double dose of heroism.

695
00:46:52,380 --> 00:46:53,760
 Dallas Johnson is up next.

696
00:46:53,980 --> 00:46:56,480
 I mean, Dallas, game's on the line, man.

697
00:46:56,620 --> 00:46:59,600
 How does it feel back-to-back weeks to make the big play like that?

698
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:04,420
 Man, it just feels good just being in that position to be able to make a play.

699
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:07,000
 It's always just always a good feeling.

700
00:47:07,420 --> 00:47:12,000
 And, you know, just having that support system behind me, it just feels good.

701
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,400
 And to hear Coach Dierman talk about, you know, how you responded.

702
00:47:16,540 --> 00:47:20,880
 It wasn't the best game for you at the time, but then you go in and you make that big play.

703
00:47:20,940 --> 00:47:25,560
 To have that trust to be out there on that last play and to hear Coach say that and he believes in you

704
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,260
 and then he gives you the sledgehammer, how does that feel?

705
00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:28,680
 Yeah, that felt good.

706
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,680
 I know, yeah, in the beginning of the game I didn't have – I wasn't having the best game.

707
00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:36,140
 I just knew I had to finish, you know, I had to finish strong.

708
00:47:37,460 --> 00:47:41,460
 And, shoot, when my opportunity came, I had to, you know, I worked with it.

709
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,140
 And then, yeah, after the game, you know, he gave me the hammer.

710
00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:48,420
 He told me, great finish.

711
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,340
 I knew, you know, I had to help my team win.

712
00:47:54,540 --> 00:48:01,460
 What goes through a defensive back's mind, fourth and goal from, what, the 16-yard line, you know you can't let them score.

713
00:48:01,540 --> 00:48:04,960
 But when it's your guy that's targeted, what's going through your mind in that moment?

714
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:09,960
 Yeah, when it's my guy, it's the play on me at that point.

715
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,720
 So, I knew I had to make a play.

716
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:18,200
 And when it comes to me, it's just – it's a lot going on, you know, through my head.

717
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:23,940
 When any time it's on you, you know, you just got to make a play.

718
00:48:24,380 --> 00:48:26,360
 And I knew what I had to do for the team.

719
00:48:26,820 --> 00:48:29,740
 You know, I wasn't trying to go out with an L that day.

720
00:48:29,860 --> 00:48:31,320
 So, I knew what I had to do to win.

721
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:35,700
 Now, I know in Conway, you recovered the fumble when Raylan Sims had the hit.

722
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,260
 And then, for this week, you made the tackle.

723
00:48:38,620 --> 00:48:41,580
 Was there a difference in feeling for you or celebration?

724
00:48:41,780 --> 00:48:42,840
 Can you compare them at all?

725
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:54,220
 Man, it definitely was a little different just because the first time, it was one of my teammates who made the play.

726
00:48:54,220 --> 00:48:59,000
 I just, you know, just piggybacked off him on that one.

727
00:48:59,100 --> 00:49:01,340
 And then, the second time, I made the play.

728
00:49:01,940 --> 00:49:09,340
 And it was a different feeling, but it was kind of the same, just out there making plays and, you know, out there with my team.

729
00:49:10,020 --> 00:49:12,860
 You know, just – that is a good feeling, though.

730
00:49:13,460 --> 00:49:17,600
 Yeah, and just talk about this defense around you and some of the guys you've gotten close with since you've been here.

731
00:49:17,660 --> 00:49:22,580
 I know you're really close in the DB room and some of the other guys that you've gotten close with.

732
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,740
 Oh, you said, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

733
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,640
 Like, Leo, he's been here.

734
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,620
 He's a great teammate.

735
00:49:30,820 --> 00:49:31,360
 I love Leo.

736
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,500
 You got K'Najah back there.

737
00:49:34,220 --> 00:49:36,040
 You know, both of them great communicators.

738
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:37,840
 I love being back there with them.

739
00:49:38,500 --> 00:49:46,140
 And, you know, the other corner, Trey, they all – you know, we all just work together, you know, off the field, on the field.

740
00:49:46,300 --> 00:49:48,800
 So, we all got a great connection off the field.

741
00:49:48,940 --> 00:49:53,900
 So, anything – anytime, you know, on the field, the connection is just there, always.

742
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,420
 Started your career at the NAIA level.

743
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,260
 Played two seasons at St. Thomas.

744
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,960
 Then you transferred to Livingston Division II.

745
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:02,760
 Had a great season there.

746
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,800
 Now you get the opportunity to go to the Division I level.

747
00:50:05,900 --> 00:50:07,700
 How has it filled this journey for you?

748
00:50:07,700 --> 00:50:10,820
 I mean, you have climbed the ranks and you continue to perform.

749
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:12,400
 Yeah, man.

750
00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:15,200
 It's been a long journey.

751
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:20,120
 But it's been – it's been tough, but it's been fun, too.

752
00:50:20,260 --> 00:50:20,720
 I ain't going to lie.

753
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:21,300
 It's been fun.

754
00:50:22,380 --> 00:50:27,980
 Just seeing the different type of – the different type of – the level.

755
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:31,680
 It's definitely different now that I'm at UNA.

756
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,960
 But it's all the same at the same time.

757
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,720
 You know, the game speed, it might have – it's a little bit faster now.

758
00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:41,120
 But football is football.

759
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,360
 So, it's all the same.

760
00:50:43,500 --> 00:50:45,140
 Just keep doing what you're doing.

761
00:50:45,420 --> 00:50:47,860
 Well, and Dallas, you've been part of some big plays this year.

762
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,780
 We obviously talked a lot about this week's play, the tackle at the two-yard line.

763
00:50:51,780 --> 00:50:55,360
 Last week you recovered that big fumble and had an interception at Central Arkansas.

764
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,520
 What's been your favorite play just personally this year?

765
00:50:59,420 --> 00:51:03,720
 Well, my favorite play this year, I would probably have to say the interception.

766
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:08,740
 Only because, you know, interceptions is – whenever you get an interception,

767
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,280
 it's a crazy feeling.

768
00:51:11,500 --> 00:51:15,400
 I haven't got an interception in game since about a year.

769
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,680
 So, I mean, shoot, I can't even explain the emotion I was going through around that time.

770
00:51:21,180 --> 00:51:27,320
 So, that would probably definitely be my favorite moment this year, yeah.

771
00:51:27,460 --> 00:51:28,120
 It was a good one.

772
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,980
 Interception in the end zone, fumble recovery in the end zone.

773
00:51:32,100 --> 00:51:34,480
 No desire to want to scoop and score, pick six.

774
00:51:36,020 --> 00:51:36,880
 Nah, nah.

775
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,680
 I just – I wanted to be safe and sorry.

776
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:39,960
 You know what I mean?

777
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:40,940
 Just get on it.

778
00:51:41,300 --> 00:51:42,080
 Just get on the ball.

779
00:51:42,980 --> 00:51:44,280
 Make sure we got the ball.

780
00:51:44,700 --> 00:51:47,440
 Just tuck it and, you know, bring the offense on the field.

781
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,960
 Technically, both of his plays were made in an end zone.

782
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:55,060
 I mean, the interception was in the end zone and the fumble recovery was in the other end zone.

783
00:51:55,140 --> 00:51:57,660
 So, technically, I guess you've been in pay dirt, kind of.

784
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,220
 Yeah, it's – yeah, yeah, yeah.

785
00:52:01,220 --> 00:52:01,880
 I don't know.

786
00:52:02,180 --> 00:52:03,940
 End zone – I don't know.

787
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,540
 Making plays in the end zone, it just come my way.

788
00:52:06,780 --> 00:52:07,240
 There you go.

789
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:08,980
 Well, Dallas, keep making plays, man.

790
00:52:09,020 --> 00:52:10,040
 We're glad you're a lion.

791
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:11,180
 Thanks for chatting with us.

792
00:52:11,260 --> 00:52:11,340
 Yes, sir.

793
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:12,980
 That's Dallas Johnson.

794
00:52:13,100 --> 00:52:13,860
 Let's take a timeout.

795
00:52:13,900 --> 00:52:17,440
 When we come back, Brent and Deere, we're going to wrap up this week's edition of UNA Football Night

796
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,780

 Football season is back at the carriage.

827
00:54:25,260 --> 00:54:28,660
 There are a few things we love more than a good Saturday in the South, and football season

828
00:54:28,660 --> 00:54:30,360
 is officially back at the carriage.

829
00:54:30,740 --> 00:54:34,740
 All season long, we'll have the games rolling with plenty of cold drinks, good food, and a

830
00:54:34,740 --> 00:54:38,580
 comfortable spot to settle in for a quarter, a game, or the better part of the day.

 Stock up in our markets before kickoff with plenty of snacks, dips, cheeses, something

834
00:54:50,700 --> 00:54:53,040
 sweet, and all the good stuff for your game day spread.

835
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:58,040
 Football season looks pretty good from the carriage on East Mobile Street in historic downtown Florence.

836
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,680
 Well, you know what happens when the seasons change.

837
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,180
 The pests come looking for a place to stay.

838
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:04,660
 Don't give them an invitation.

839
00:55:05,180 --> 00:55:10,760

 UNA football night continues.

849
00:55:43,940 --> 00:55:46,020
 We'll be back with you next week as well.

850
00:55:46,420 --> 00:55:49,060
 Lions on the road taking on West Georgia.

851
00:55:49,580 --> 00:55:51,360
 One o'clock kick central time.

852
00:55:51,420 --> 00:55:53,780
 Here's a jump in our Burnley Spine and Sport preview.

853
00:55:54,260 --> 00:55:55,380
 Mike had to slide out.

854
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,940
 The UNA men tied up at the half with Oklahoma.

855
00:55:58,140 --> 00:56:02,180
 The UNA women trying to escape Jacksonville with a win as the Gamecocks have come back.

856
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:03,520
 Closing seconds.

857
00:56:03,660 --> 00:56:05,280
 UNA's up three right now.

858
00:56:05,720 --> 00:56:08,660
 But, Coach, we're locked in on West Georgia on Saturday.

859
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:09,720
 They're transitioning.

860
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:11,620
 They've got a new head coach.

861
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,580
 They're one and nine on the season.

862
00:56:13,720 --> 00:56:17,300
 But when you really take a deep dive, much like a lot of teams we have played,

863
00:56:17,420 --> 00:56:19,280
 they've played a couple schools pretty close there.

864
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:20,520
 Yeah, they're a good football team.

865
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:27,480
 Let's make sure we all understand that West Georgia, same team that went eight and four last year,

866
00:56:27,580 --> 00:56:32,100
 same team that we lost to by possession at home, they are a talented football team.

867
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,060
 They've got two quarterbacks.

868
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,100
 One quarterback was, I think, the player of the league last year at Presbyterian.

869
00:56:38,500 --> 00:56:43,840
 Their other quarterback that's started here lately has been a gunslinger throwing that thing around.

870
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,480
 They can score a lot of points defensively.

871
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,920
 They've got a lot of team speed on that side of the ball.

872
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,540
 So, we've got our work cut out for us this week.

873
00:56:51,820 --> 00:56:53,940
 Going on the road is always tough in conference.

874
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,180
 There's not an off week in this league.

875
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,440
 You've got to bring it every single week.

876
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,460
 I think they had a lead on Austin Peay at halftime.

877
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,000
 They battled Tarleton State tough.

878
00:57:04,140 --> 00:57:05,740
 So, they're a good team.

879
00:57:06,260 --> 00:57:10,820
 And, Coach, what we've seen out of your team already, two road wins in conference play.

880
00:57:10,940 --> 00:57:12,540
 We've talked about the close games as well.

881
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:13,800
 But going on the road is hard.

882
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,420
 And the fact that we already have two this year really helps this team, I guess,

883
00:57:17,420 --> 00:57:19,560
 with the experience of kind of, hey, we've been there, we've done that.

884
00:57:19,900 --> 00:57:22,300
 Yeah, it's been something that we've struggled with my first three years here

885
00:57:22,300 --> 00:57:24,000
 is trying to go on the road and win.

886
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:28,540
 We've had some tight ones on the road, but we couldn't get the W.

887
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,580
 And here lately, we've been able to be on the other side of it.

888
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,180
 And you usually are defined by how you play on the road.

889
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:36,520
 Everybody plays well at home.

890
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:38,780
 Everybody feeds off your home crowd.

891
00:57:39,340 --> 00:57:43,580
 But how many wins you can get on the road really determines what your season looks like.

892
00:57:43,780 --> 00:57:45,160
 Coach, let's wrap it up with this.

893
00:57:45,300 --> 00:57:47,840
 Snap, Rod, Dallas, all three.

894
00:57:48,100 --> 00:57:48,440
 Great.

895
00:57:48,540 --> 00:57:49,440
 I want to start with Rod.

896
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,320
 He's from your area, right?

897
00:57:51,340 --> 00:57:53,740
 And I know he's a young man that means a lot to you.

898
00:57:54,060 --> 00:57:54,820
 Yeah, Rod Taylor.

899
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:56,700
 I think we...

900
00:57:56,700 --> 00:57:58,440
 I think the women just won there.

901
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:00,000
 There was a lot of cheering.

902
00:58:00,300 --> 00:58:01,360
 It wasn't for me and you.

903
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:02,380
 I thought it was for Rod.

904
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:02,940
 Yeah.

905
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,420
 But Rod Taylor is kind of a special situation to me.

906
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,980
 Rod's mom and dad both went to my high school.

907
00:58:11,780 --> 00:58:15,060
 Just understanding Rod's background, where he came from,

908
00:58:15,460 --> 00:58:18,260
 and what all he's been through in his life,

909
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,900
 and the way that we got Rod here.

910
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,340
 You know, Rod was committed to Jacksonville State,

911
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,460
 and we got him from Jacksonville State.

912
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,960
 I think the week of signing day gets here,

913
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,840
 is killing it in fall camp, and tears an ACL.

914
00:58:31,380 --> 00:58:34,480
 And it really took him two years to get back from that ACL.

915
00:58:35,020 --> 00:58:36,600
 He was a different running back last year.

916
00:58:37,500 --> 00:58:38,560
 You know, he would get in,

917
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:40,080
 and he had a little bit of hobble still.

918
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,160
 He wasn't the back that he is right now.

919
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:43,420
 And to see him back healthy,

920
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,040
 and he looks like that running back that we signed a few years ago now.

921
00:58:47,380 --> 00:58:48,680
 He's running the ball hard.

922
00:58:49,260 --> 00:58:53,240
 That's what separates him, is how hard he runs the football.

923
00:58:53,540 --> 00:58:55,560
 It's been great to see all these dudes go at it,

924
00:58:55,580 --> 00:58:56,440
 and they'll be back at it.

925
00:58:56,580 --> 00:58:59,520
