I think we know each other the same. I mean, Dan and I go back to when I was a high school coach and he was a GA at Arizona State. And then we linked back up at Memphis where he was the linebackers coach and I was the quarterbacks coach. And coaches play a game called like who's got the pen last, where we go in and we talk ball. He draws up what he would do. I draw up what I would do.
Then he draws up what he would do. We go back and forth for hours. or some coaches, if you love ball, right? And that was the guy I did that with. And me and him would go back and forth for hours at Memphis and at Oregon, just who's got the pen last? What would you do here? What would you do here? So I think we both know each other fairly well. Obviously, he's got that place rocking and rolling.
I mean, I got my Oregon duck helmet up there. I don't know if you guys can see it. It's barely off the screen. But, you know, I got a lot of respect for him.
We're breaking them down. We're not watching them yet just because we don't know who we're playing. We're really focusing on ourselves. We're watching all of our games and saying, okay, what tendencies have we created that we can break? So we're really going to focus on our own self-scout and fixing our own problems first, and then we'll get in here in another week to really the opponent prep.
All right, well, I'll create a parallel here. So I play video games, fully aware. It's really not that much different. You've played a guy who runs three plays in Madden or NCAA over and over again, right?
And he runs the same three plays every single time. And you physically can't stop it. It's the most frustrating thing on the planet. Okay. There's that philosophy. And then you run the guy who calls run, run, run, play action, run, run, run, play action screen. And it's frustrating. Right. And We're more of the run, run, run, play, action, scream, the schemed up than we are.
We're going to run the same three plays over and over again. You can't stop it. Those philosophies carry over to real life, even though nobody wants to ever compare things to a video game. There are some parallels. It's more of a train of thought and a belief system. So for us, it's more, it's not that we're not going to do what we do. It's more, can we do it a different way?
Instead of doing it out of, you know, instead of running four verticals, Can we motion to four verticals this week? Can we align the back on the other side? Can we motion somebody? Can we shift? It's more doing the same things, but looking like it's different. I would say it's, you know, dressing it up. Put a little salad dressing on it. Still a salad, but still a little bit different.
uh shark wheel is probably the biggest cheat code in the video game ever created yes it does not work in real life like it would work in the uh in the video games okay but you should maybe maybe just have it in there for what you know maybe if you get to national championship you got to surprise someone shark will work it probably will you know what does work in real life and in the video game is mesh two by two yeah match with the tailback wheel
yeah that place that place still unstoppable video games real life most common third down play in football third medium playing football is that play which is always run in video games too and people say video games aren't real yeah yeah yeah the wheel route just in general is a great concept i feel like it's especially in college it's always open yeah you get the running back going full speed against a linebacker in space and it's like hey it's going to be open no doubt
Yeah, so I tore my ACL the spring of my junior year, tried to play my senior year without my ACL. Problem is, I'm 5'9". I'm unathletic. You know, I'm overweight. And I was never really a good player. And that's not a good combination to already be not a good player and not have an ACL. My high school coach was like, hey, bud. You may want to do this if you like football, start coaching.
And so my high school coach is actually our special teams coordinator right now, Charlie Regal. So he's like, hey, bud, let's just start this coaching thing. You're already not very good. This ACL is going to make you worse.
Yeah, he is. He's our special teams coordinator, assistant head coach.
Yeah, I was not a great player. I mean, and I wish I could say bad injury luck. Since that ACL, I've torn my left patella tendon playing hoops, playing morning hoops, and my right patella tendon playing morning hoops. So I don't I was just not a very good athlete. I have a two and a half year old boy. I pray and I think he's got my wife's genes. He was the athlete of the family.
She was like an Olympic hopeful gymnast. So I really hope he's got her genes.
Oh, yeah, we definitely our staff is filled with people who love Arizona State. I mean, our running backs coach coach high school in the valley forever are in the valley is Phoenix area. Right. Our our tight ends coach is born and raised in Arizona, went to Arizona State. One of our D-line coaches went to Arizona State. Our linebackers coach is from 15 minutes from Arizona State.
Our defensive coordinator is from 30 minutes from Arizona State campus. Like we have so many people that are passionate about this place that we look at each other and we had a saying. I mean, we were predicted to win four wins. So when we were going to get our fifth win, we would look at each other and say, we can just get this one. And then we won five.
And then we're like, if we can just get this one. If we can just get this one. And 11 wins later, Big 12 champs. We're looking at each other into this next week. if we can just get this one. See how long the ride goes.
Well, one, we play nine conference games. So we play more conference games than some of the other leagues. And then two, the it's just every team is so close to each other from a talent perspective. So, I mean, there's not really the bottom of the league.
Traditionally, there's not a true, I mean, we were supposed to be the bottom, but there's not really the bottom of the league and consistent powerhouses. So every week that you play, I mean, you could win or lose the football game. I mean, cause it's so competitive. So you beat each other up and then everybody has two losses by the end of it. Like when you go through the nine games,
