Big 12 sound round check one two the best bites cheap shots and excuses from Saturday's postgame news [Music] conferences all right everybody welcome back it is another edition of a Sunday morning Big 12 First and 12 the biggest breakdown of the conference where Utah and BYU and now are both me both members and uh we'll get into some Utah next hours next hour we're also going to break down roll out our power pole for the week so you're going to get a a full breakdown of that Utah Baylor game a power pole and Mitch and I are just going to uh hey we're just going to log it in the in the books as another another big 12 weekend I mean you know how it is Mitch when we get into the actual season here these weeks start to just pile on very very quickly so you'll blink and they'll be a month in you'll blink and they'll have uh 10 games under their under their belt and so it goes very very quickly all of this by the way brought to you by the folks at the Macy's grocery store you know about these guys happy shopping got to take advantage of it get that con cone let's go uh Mitch sound Roundup here's how it goes and and you already heard from Kanani we'll hear from Kyle next hour but these are some of the other ones that happened across the uh across the conference now at this point last year I now I don't know I can't remember when the loss to U when was the loss to Southern Alabama that Oklahoma state had at home was it week two week three it was early in the season wasn't it yeah I think it was like week three either way we were wondering about this Oklahoma team and or Oklahoma State team Mike Gundy they eek out a win in overtime and it was uh it was a it was a classic Mike Gundy moment at the at the deis there after the game here's what he had to say about Oklahoma State you know the one thing is you guys that cover us you come here you're always going to see a good game that's one thing you you get your money's worth here you know we're sold out and I think people they know they're going to see a good game here it's a lot of fun here unfortunately it's hard on coaches there were so many things in that game as I shared with the players there'll be a lot of really good teaching coaching not only for the players but for the coaches there's just a lot of things that happened in that game that are very were very unusual but as you said you're correct that college football that's why people love to watch it every game matters that's so uh Mike Gundy because one Oklahoma State they do put out thrilling games they're either one they're going to be down big and they're going to have an epic comeback as they did on Saturday against Arkansas down 14-0 and the question too was that he got was you know is it was some paraphrasing here but he got the question of you know is this just kind of dang fun just having these epic comebacks and he says well we always GNA get get a good good game Oklahoma State but it also like he also sounds a little bit like uh like a mob boss too where he goes we're going to have we're going to watch some video and well there's going to be some people are going to be called out here players and coaches like everybody heard that press conference like coaches the whole staff coaches players everybody scared to death of Mike Gundy you wonder too if Mike Gundy does these things in press conferences where he kind of just you know improvises almost and it in a way to like get the Oklahoma State brand out there oh yeah you know you almost kind of wonder if you know he's doing this in a way to always just generate headlines and I'm sure his Sid just wants to pull his hair out all the time oh yeah uh with with Gundy but but I mean he just always gets on the national scene with his commentary he's just one of those coaches at Big 12 media day where it's like what's he going to say you know and he's he's one of those few people that's got that pool and he just says kind of interesting things that are off the cuff sometimes he'll walk away from the podium it's like hey get close to that mic I can't hear that sound right but uh you know Gundy he does put out entertaining ball games at Oklahoma State that's for sure Iowa state had an entertaining win and Matt Campbell's kind of the the complete opposite of Gundy when it comes to personality he's just like a football guy Campbell is but man the the emotion of winning in kinnick stadium a place they haven't won in a very long time that meant a lot to him is a unique football game and it it takes everything you got to win a game like this and um you know you have to have great leadership and you got to have great leadership from within today was about our leadership quite honestly you know our kids Poise was probably better than their head coach's Poise at times um our kids Poise and mentality to just stay in there and keep playing was incredible and you know that's one great thing about coaching is sometimes you learn from your players and if you're humble enough to do it and I've been really fortunate enough to learn a lot from our guys but really grateful for them really appreciate their effort a lot of credit to Iowa uh coach frence and his program is nothing short of exceptional um so a lot of respect for who they are and that's why it is a big win to come here and win a game on the road like that it is it's like a uh it's like a punch card it's like a m coaches Mad Lib right where you go uh throw in respect to Phill in coach's name here uh now obviously he means it because Kirk fence is one of the best in the game but Matt Campbell is a guy who's like has said on record I want to copy our program off the Utah and Kyle Whittingham and if you go through that kind of prism you can hear him going through and just being very very meticulous about kind of the breakdowns honestly when they were losing I thought oh boy okay Iowa State's going to struggle this first or you know against Iowa fine they're going to have to get back on track here but you know we talked about this in the offseason which uh Iowa State could be really scary man uh coach prime it wouldn't be a sound round up without getting something from coach Prime the Nebraska Colorado former big eight uh you know match up between these two teams I've been I've not been a big fan of the fact that they try to roll this one out like it's still a rivalry game but uh don't tell that to Nebraska fans when they were in that when they had a big lead I will say Colorado is an interesting study because they were down 28 to3 I think at the half and they were still standing over guys after tackles like they were owning this entire game Mitch I was like this is nothing more Colorado than losing by four touchdowns and standing over a guy after you tackle him and it was funny because the Nebraska guys are just laughing they're like you see what's going on up on the scoreboard up here but yeah here's what coach Prime had to say his reaction to that lost 2810 there at Nebraska that was the whole uh postgame uh not speech but conversation that we had I can't wait everybody in this room is dealing with some type of adversity and uh our young men are as well so I want to see how we all respond to adversity that's what illuminates us that's what elevates to us that's what progresses us to the next level how we deal with adversity everybody's got a piece of adversity they're dealing with right now and those young men just uh dealt with it in front of millions of people so we got to see how they handle it I don't care what anyone says I love listening to it's just I I love his his commentary but you're right the hovering over players like come on I mean Colorado got destroyed destroyed in that first half and their o line not protecting shadur and you know what shadur didn't have a great game either he had a pick six so uh you know Colorado has got to get some answers quick it's not going to get any easier they got a rivalry game coming up and we'll get to what's the schedule ahead in the Big 12 Kansas state had a tough outing at two lane they escaped with the victory Star Quarterback Avery Johnson not the greatest day passing the football he's got to improve in that area if K State's going to be the big 12 champ that they aspire to be once again try to get that second title in three years this was Johnson on where he's made the biggest Improvement in his game from week one to week two after that victory over to Lane you know just being able to battle through adversity I feel like this is our you know our first my first time especially uh being down in a game especially being on the road it's it's harder to be down on the road so we had kind of had to make our own momentum shifts and the defense did a great job um of getting us the the ball back and and you know stopping their their offense and then it was just kind of up to us to to get us back into the fight we were playing from behind and you know we had some guys step up and make some big plays tonight and that's just what we needed that's one of those guys Mitch that everybody's like waiting for him to take that next step he definitely got better this week and you know there are games like this look you get a win and you scrape by doesn't matter I mean K State could also win a game next week 45 to3 and you'd be like yep that's EX ex what you're going to get from them but if they also win a rock fight which is kind of what they did uh you know that's the type of thing that you have there I I think that's a little bit what Chris Clan's program is about they don't really care what people think about them and they'll get wins and just be like yeah maybe there's some mistakes there we'll work on them but that's still a team you got to be absolutely afraid of if you're uh other teams in the Big 12 including a BYU team who's going to have to host them there down there in Provo uh all right let's take another break here we'll come back uh next hour oh boy it's another week of Power Rankings Mitch and uh some movers and shakers some people are going to stay right in the same spot but there's there's going to be some movement there at the top we'll talk about it next and much more to go it is KSL News radio it is the KSL Sport Zone and this is first and 12
