WyoNation Roundup - Wyoming vs Arizona State Preview

[Music] and welcome on in everybody from the Wy Nation this is the wildy nation Roundup I am your host Chad Smith and I'm joined tonight first by Mr Brad Reed how you doing tonight Brad ready to watch some football well you are watching football right now oh yes I am only one game though that's that's not very that's like low for me it is usually he's like you know that tin screen guy oh yeah totally got everything running and on the bottom here is Mr Shay Foster welcome Shay hello guys I got a YouTube TV so I can do four games at once here there we go time to drop very nice so yes welcome on in everybody thank you for staying patient with us my uh Mike took a dirt bath right as we were doing our sound check so I have switched to the alternate mic here and we are in the midst of full-blown college football Thursday night now not to get off track but I remember back in the day when they opened on Thursday night but he's usually like what one or two games maybe now it's a a Full Slate of games Coast to Coast it's like 21 games tonight ton of games the Mac is playing on a Thursday night by say Tuesday night even there we go I didn't know there's some action going on huh yeah Bowling Green and forom okay there we go so but we are not here to discuss that we are here to talk about the Wyoming Cowboys who will be opening up their season Saturday night against the Arizona State Sun Devils and uh before we move on any further Again YouTube is a great place to watch us as is the Twitter Mothership atation and we do have the chat function working and somebody's already using it Clint is in the house on YouTube so here we go again he says go bison what a game yeah so far see you in uh North Dakota state is what I think most of the country is probably watching tonight and then technically they're both bison they are that's true very very true and then the Twitter chat is working a shay tested earlier in the week uh Shay kind of give him the rundown on how to use it because it looks deceiving yeah so you have to actually open up uh you have to actually open up the chat and then it will give you a um a live chat at the bottom I'm not seeing on my computer it might have went away here chat what it's not it's not there I don't see it very weird yeah it was there on Monday okay I'll mess around with it though all right yeah we'll see so yes so welcome on in everybody this is our first preview obviously of the Season here we go St Stu's there we're good I see it y Okay cool so it's just hard to find it seems yeah some guy named Brad Reid is chiming in too very talented look at that you are he doing two teams at once right well to be fair I was doing a Fantasy Football Draft when we did our uh thing on Monday and my fantasy football draft graded as an F so well there we go I wonder why distracted probably I wonder why what could have happened oh Joe bur all right so yeah we are here to talk about this game and uh we just want to thank everybody for being with us The Season's here it's really exciting but before we get into this let's get a a history lesson who's ready for a history lesson let's do right here is your Series history between Wyoming and Arizona state so they first met back in 1951 uh they've actually played 15 times and ASU holds a 9-6 Advantage the last time they played was clear back in 1977 which obviously doesn't impact on this game but wyomi lost 45 to nothing on the road now you may asking why did they play so many times throughout the 60s and through the 70s well as many of you may know Arizona state was a team in the whack in the 60s and 70s so Wyoming and Arizona State were once conference mates before they jump Shi to the pack eight I guess right was the pack eight back then when or was it starts the pack six even P eight was it did they start with eight right away you know they had those like pictures that went around that were the old family portrait pictures yes yes and the one that I have saved of the Pack 12 it was 18s okay so yeah so the pack eight so yeah so Wyoming has actually played Arizona State 15 times haven't played them since 1977 and so there we go I thought people would find that interesting and this of course is a graphic uh courtesy of Wyoming Athletics this is straight out of their game notes which look great by the way the way they have them laid out the graphics the colors really solid as always there from them rashan is in the house he says wow and I don't know if he's referring to wow as in the history between these two teams let us know but yeah team what was that Brad it probably the great on my fantasy team the great on oh yes he's I gotcha all right so we'll kill this and then I've got one more thing to get a conversation started for us and excuse that I'm kind of having to do this on the Fly I gotta try to find where this is at okay it's that one all right let's see here let's kill that and the next thing here is our matchups you don't see this very often right so Wyoming going into this season first time Jay SLL is his first game as a head coach going against Kenny Dillingham who's in his second season as a head coach uh he went three and nine last year um he's at his Alma moer of Arizona State and he's got a crazy history of he was coaching high school ball when he was still a high school student and then went to Arizona State as a grad assistant didn't really play there and then worked his way through right places like Oregon Florida State and then now he's back at his Alam Mater as the head coach of the Sun Devils so yeah any any thoughts on Dillingham from youw he's younger than us he is very true that's wild to me because we're not old yet right no not not too much okay so dham is 34 and he's he's been coaching football although starting at the high school level since he was 17 so half his life he's been coaching football I just think the spotlights are probably he's got a good staff I think that's what's going to help them but I think the spotlights probably be a little little big for him especially going to the big 12 yeah so normally in this type of thing we talk about last week's game we would look into the future but we really can't do that now we've talked plenty about Wyoming so we'll talk about Arizona State here but they're kind of a hard nut to crack because I was doing looking at their game notes they have 60 new players on the roster this year including over 30 transfers from the transfer portal they have the only other team in the country that has more transfers than Arizona state is Colorado and you've seen the struggles they had last season and the struggles they're having right now so this is a tough one to kind of crack down and look at is because we're I'm not really sure of the quality of this Arizona State roster well the only the only guy on that roster that I really know is Cam scabbo because I'm a cam SC scabo Stan but mhm and well they have another uh their uh one of their assistants Charlie ragle he coached Idaho State and he brought a handful of guys with him from Idaho State uh including their including their stud the Bengals stud receiver from last year uh his name is escaping me at the moment but uh yeah that 60 60 big over roster overhaul like that just I don't think it's very helpful like it just doesn't seem very helpful like it's hard to like get a team to like gel mesh in that short amount of time and have it be effective yeah sure I mean New Mexico tried that under lockley what they brought in like 20 jco transfers that one year and it yep they went one and 11 unless they bond quickly this like they had a decent team last year but that much Rost their turnover you can't like their team wasn't awful last year they played a lot of competitive games and really good defense but now all those guys appear must be gone if you brought in a whole new team and now they're projected to finish last in the Big 12 yeah or their backups right like so they're starting quarterback from last year is now he's still there but he's the third string quarterback oh wow yeah which you don't see very often right usually if the starter goes he he leaves so I don't know what circumstance that is um but one more thing here to stoke some discussion there's another graphic for you and again I don't know how much this really helps us because of the roster turnover that we were just talking about but right even last year they only averaged 17.8 points a game they gave up over 30 a game so I think from Wyoming standpoint catching them on the first game of the season with all this roster turnover is might be the best time to play them I don't know yeah and you got to start fast yep and that was a thing that uh coach SA talked about in his press conference as you remember when Wyoming hosted Texas Tech last year they got down by what three scores like right off the bat and so you can't do that on the road at home in lar me yeah you could probably get away with that but here you can't but I mean I don't know like with all that roster turnover are they going to score more than 17 a game I don't know is their defense going to be better I don't know so there's a whole lot of unknowns if you think Wyoming has a lot with a first-time head coach and a first-time starting quarterback and a firsttime defensive coordinator I mean asu's got as just as many questions um so yeah this is really one of the the craziest games because there's just so many new things on both sides of the ball it's hard to say what's going to happen so I think we're all everybody right is just looking forward to watching the game and seeing how it plays out yeah I think uh I think I don't know yeah Wyoming's still an underdog in this game I don't really know how I don't know how it doesn't make any sense to me like why that would be I know the Cowboys have some questions but I think Arizona state has a lot more question marks headed into this season like they're projected to finish last in their conference they're not you know the bookmakers think they're going to be awful this year like 17 points a game awful so that's a strange one to me uh seems like a pretty good opportunity to smash the money line on that but yeah I don't know I and I forget the website I used to go to is it odd shark can you bring up odd shark and give us the the latest numbers in what seven I think it is yeah seven is what I last saw so take a look at the bring up their chart and kind of give us the breakdown of what you're seeing there but why I do that I I think maybe part of it is again now Wyoming is playing a power five or four whatever you want to call them now on the road and in the modern era Wyoming has one Victory on the road in their history against a power five school so yeah many losses right I was doing the Chown and I I didn't want to but wy's like one and like 25 or something crazy right so close games a lot of close games some of them were close but some of them we just got you know curb stomped but again that's against like the likes of Oregon and teams like that that we' played in the past uh but Wyoming's lone win is was at Tennessee and that team that year was you know pretty dang awful so I don't know is Arizona State at that level they might be we'll find out I think Saturday but yeah I think it's kind of hard so it looks like Brad do you have those numbers well to go to go to piggy back off that the Cowboys are 20 and 27 and one in season openers on the road okay so that's not terrible yeah but comparatively they are 6018 and one at home so yeah yeah uh so right now the Cowboys are plus seven with an over under of 47 and a half 47 and a half okay so they're thinking like a 27 to 20 game yep is kind of what they're looking at there I don't know I don't know I don't know what our off or defense that they're going to get into the high 20s Arizona State unless they just out aete us which I don't know they how easily they can do that I mean obviously they have athletes but we do too it's not like we're we're slouches I think people should know that it's Wyoming's depth that will get them into that if the cornerback depth and the safety depth isn't there they can get into the 20s yeah that's the the the main scenario I see correct hilariously uh the game on odd shark listed right right above Wyoming is New Mexico and Arizona and they have New Mexico as a 31o underdog after almost losing to Montana State uh last weekend I don't think bookmakers were very impressed with the Lobos yeah let's see Clint saying didn't Wyoming win at Miss is that one I missed I thought they won at 05 and Miss was that okay see I don't know how I missed that okay so two then let's check that out yeah I don't know why they are they are 0 and2 against us let's check this really quick oh you know why because my this thing didn't go back to it only went to 2009 on this site yeah so we beat him in 2005 in Oxford or yeah in Oxford 244 there we go so that's two beat them 2004 at home at home yeah 3732 they were really bad though didn't one of those teams have like Eli Manning no it was the year after we graduated wasn't came to lar me yeah so no thank you yeah the famous bow Knight to barge pass I was trying to figure that but Wyoming doesn't like I was trying to find a site that like kept those stats like power five versus group of five nobody has that information and Wyoming usually in the past they would kind of list stuff like that but they had they didn't this year I couldn't find it so so yeah thank you Clint so two so yeah that's so I guess the hope is right that and this Arizona State team may fall with ol Miss and Tennessee right as just not very good power five teams that Wyoming can take advantage of um before we move on further I want to say the game is on FS1 and on the call will be Chris Meyers and then one of my favorite people because he's a blabbing idiot Petros I love call game and Petro loves Wyoming he does Petro follows me on Twitter because I would chat with him after games and he'd be like oh man Wyoming so he L he loves laram me yeah Pedro loves it so we'll see I don't know if we have another FS on one game maybe he'll get his chance to come back to lar me uh later in the season that's when you get the fight between FS1 and Fox it depends how good Wyoming is yeah yeah there's still two TBA games on the schedule with San Jose State North Texas okay yeah I don't think those are going to be FS1 games unfortunately but yeah so again as we just said a lot of unknowns here you really can't I can't predict because I haven't seen right um Arizona state has a new starting quarterback back by the name of Sam levit he is a transfer from Michigan State he beat out Jeff Sims which surprise surprise he beat out a guy who had like who was a turnover machine last year for Nebraska um but Le is only only thrown 23 passes in his career 15 of 23 139 yards two touchdowns two interceptions those are his numbers um he's 62 200 I've seen him play a little bit he's I don't know if he's got the strongest arm his arm's okay but and he's fairly mobile so again I think Wyoming's gonna have their handful just kind of as a coaching staff trying to figure out what is Arizona State going to do with all these new players right we really don't have anything we could look at their tape from last year I think but they just got so many new players at skill positions to where I don't know what they're going to be looking for but as Brad said they do return scabo who is is a load HE that guy that guy is a he's a running back who runs with bad intentions for him yes and he has the ability to do that the old what Joe Glenn used to do that back in the day right we had a guy who on fourth down you would or no I guess Brett Smith did it a little under DC right we would line up like we're going for it and do the old Pooch punt yeah I think Brett was pretty good at that too I just think Wyoming is going to play such a vanilla defense to start the game because now with the tablets they can change it's easier for them to change their scheme that there's an opportunity that if Wyman kicks off Arizona State marches down the field on them because Wyoming doesn't know what's they don't know what to do they're just playing this very basic yeah zone defense playing your system right I agree and then up seven nothing and then you're like okay now we see what they're doing now we're gonna send the house at them yeah and that's a good thing about the tablets Shay I don't think many people have talked about this but and I don't is it it's wide right it's like NCAA wide this tablet service so it's like a third party that does like real time game footage that delivers that footage to the sidelines like instantaneously on tablets it's going to change college football and the way that they're able to adapt so I think that is a a very good point Shay that I think they will until they kind of figure out what's going on they're just going to play their base defense and then they can tweak from there but you're right they're going to be able to dissect it quicker than they have in the past because they're going to be getting instantaneous film back and with bull gonna be up up high which I think is going to actually help the defense cor the first two drives are going to be on the defensive line if the defensive line is rushing hard and making Sam run around then I think you're fine but if they're playing even base on the defensive line like contain that you're gonna see Arizona State probably March down on Wyoming pretty easily just initially nothing against Wyoming's defense it's just the nature of the Beast yeah and no that's a good point too I wanted to bring up uh the Press release for this week said uh that bow the defensive coordinator would be up in the Box Aaron bow and then Jay Johnson's going to be in the Box as well and then the only other coach who's going to be in the box which I found interesting is g to be Jeff Phelps the defensive tackles coach so I wonder if he's there to kind of help along Aaron bow with some stuff being a very experienced coach if you think about it got Brian Hendricks who's an intelligent coach on your defensive line and then you have you have the head coach that was linebacker coach so like Aaron could always call down and be like hey grab the Shays and them pull their heads out of their butts because this isn't working yeah so yeah so that that Dynamic is going to be interesting and then again uh helmet communication on both sides of the bow I think is key too so as we talked about before that now works to where coaches will be able to talk to the designated player um until 15 seconds on the play clock and I don't think anybody's asked salel who's gonna be wearing that defensively shine okay so you already seen that y okay that makes sense right it's usually the middle linebacker but if you don't have an experienced one then sometimes they pass that around so no good to see that it's gonna be Shay which makes perfect sense so again a lot of change change on the teams change in the rules and did North Dakota State just get a turnover yeah hit off the guy's foot oh my goodness in the endzone oh no what a bum yeah oh my god wow wow uh yeah so again this is I wish I had more for you but I can't see into the future if I did I'd be a very rich man because I'd have you some crazy Vegas parlay lined up on this game where I'd you know bet 10 bucks and win a couple thousand if I knew who was going to happen but that's the the fun of college football we have no idea especially with all this newness I bet $10 to win 38 on NDSU winning this particular game straight up yeah okay Montana State kind of screwed me last week with their uh their little shenan there so we had New Mexico straight up on that too yeah oh boy bummer I'll teach you to be a degenerate Gambler honestly it's probably one of my better qualities so yeah any thoughts on Arizona State there Shay before well I'm looking just at their depth chart and may God have mercy on Rook Brown Soul with their tight ends they're some large humans and one of them you said was like I looked it up too he's like 67 275 or something 65 275 so I imagine he's a blocking tight end so I'm not to wor if that guy is going down field and catching passes with any type of foot speed then yeah then we're in a lot of trouble gonna die he's a Florida State transfer so probably not slow okay yeah I don't know how they're going to line up they got to put a safety on those tight ends if they go out oh yeah yeah so it's going to be a lot of chess pieces on both sides of the ball for both teams just trying to figure out what's gonna things right because Arizona State's got the same problems they're going against against Jay Johnson who we don't really know what he's going to run is it going to look like Michigan state is it going to look like Louisiana is it going to look like Northern Illinois hopefully it's the Louisiana Northern Illinois offense not that Michigan State one that was so terrible yeah well to be fair to Jay they lost a lot of mil Tucker did not help him out it actually helped us out at Wyoming but it did not help out Jay that is very true people forget what a piece of [ __ ] mil Tucker was yeah he he's a their Line's not that big I mean this is one of the smaller lines why's probably going to see this year yeah when I was uh looking at their film from last year they they looked like a pretty lean Team all around but athletic and that that's my main concern is they might just be able to out out aete Us in terms of that depth too with their speed but again I don't know they probably don't face again they are a Pack 12 team so they're not used to a whole lot of hitting and we're going to be hitting people because that is the that is right like the Baseline of our program especially defensively it's funny I was listening to uh was listening to the podcast I listen to a lot pardon my take this week and they were talking about uh uh Alex Grinch and his stin at USC where he just constantly recruited undersized defensive lineman and expected better results out of that and then you look at Arizona State's defensive line here and they are like you said not a big group and I I think our offensive line probably have our way with them if things are clicking if they line up that end that's 64 240 against Barnett he's going to get murdered Jack Walsh and him are gonna murder that man so yeah that's something to look for right Wyoming's experienced offensive line which has good size against perhaps an undersized ASU team so yeah this is It's fascinating this game I think it's going to be fascinating and yeah that first quarter is going to be probably on both sides like Shay said you're just going to see a whole lot of vanilla till they can kind of figure out what tweaks do they need to make um and then the biggest thing is the Wyoming offense right I guess so I I'll pass this along so what do you guys expect to see I right everything I think this has to be a disinformation campaign everybody's like yeah we're gonna start airing it out and I'm like well I don't know Jay Johnson's history suggests that it's GNA be a little more balanced we're going to throw more than we did under bull for sure but I don't think it's going to be like a 6040 split I think we're still going to run the ball probably 55% of the time would be my guess I think we're going to be like a 55 45 run to pass ratio but some people think it's going to be like 6040 to the pass and I just I don't see that happening with with what Wyoming has in their running back stable I don't see a reason to put that much pressure on Evans faota right away to start the season where we've got a stable of running backs that can get the job done so I would expect probably like a 50-50 split this week 50 55 45 run somewhere in there I bet the uh I don't know if you guys listened to the coaches show last night with Jay but they had Sebastian harsh there as well and donall and harsh openly admitted that the offense there was days the offense was gashing Wyoming's defense so and you heard the stories that our poor third Str defense had a lineup against Sam Scott and Sam Scott was eating them eating him for lunch because they couldn't stop him yeah so wow and Sam nothing to take away from Sam but that's pretty he probably had the third string offensive line and he's still finding ways to smash through and gain big you know big runs on people so and Sam Sam I think you're gonna see more running back when Brian what was that two and 10 season where W was terrible they would throw the ball out to the running backs they went away from it and I think you're probably gonna see more of that because it let Evan getting a little bit of a rhythm tight end dumps and then they're going to hit those over the top with pelir and brown those guys are just so fast or send body down the seam that just let him air it out but yeah let me check this really quick to see Michigan States receiving past couple years so Chad is this going to be the elusive year where the Cowboys hit 30 points a game I would sling towards no just because you have to take baby steps um let's see last year Michigan state had a running back have 22 catches be pretty good for us that was in 23 22 probably a lot better let's see here uh another guy with 19 so yeah if you had a running back you could get you know 20 to 25 catches in a year that'd be pretty solid uh what was that gra the graphic I put up later here we go let me put this back up Wyoming last year was at 25 a game so can they get an extra five uh I don't know maybe well if your third down passing routes are just stop routes at the sticks for four receivers then yeah you probably get Five Points it's possible and again why we bring that up is because historically to win the Mountain West Conference you have to every conference champion in the Mountain West has averaged 30 points a game every single one so that's something you can't deny and guess what the one year that Wyoming scored 30 points a game guess what it's that the year we uh played San Diego State the M West title game yeah had the only year we scored 30 points a game we were in the it so that just right that's just my big numbers 30 points a game unless you have like an all world like a a top 20 defense that just you know Jacks people up and that's possible too I mean they could go that route um well I think the last few years Wyoming's Total Defense is average somewhere what like the 70s I think yeah finish in the 70s hasn't been it's so tired yeah exactly so yeah so we'll see so that no thank you Brad that a a good question the 30 points a game I suppose it's attainable but that's gonna require right the coaching could help quite a bit um but again we don't know we've seen saota everybody believes in him he's got the skill set but we haven't seen him do it for a full game right he hasn't been the quarterback for a full game that we won right he went down to Austin didn't phas him right but we still got blown out even though they were in the game until the fourth quarter so that was a weird game and then he came in and helped win a couple games in the regular season right then the bowl game obviously when Peasley went down had the game-winning drive so that's what you gotta kind of look forward to hopefully he could put that together for a full game over a majority of our games and then we're 65% completion you know percentage would be nice because Wyoming's quarterbacks have historically been in the 50s and it's not been very good passing at Wyoming yeah and that that improved last year actually quite a bit Peasley last year was at 62% yeah I if you're 65 your price score 30 faota and 23 of 38 he was at 60 % for his 38 passes it's not so not awful I think if they're in the 60s and you could do that scheme but that that's the other thing I want to mention too is when I talked to um body Jr he said and I'm pretty sure this is a direct quote that the the passing game is going to be a lot more vertical I think that's what he told me and that that worries me because that's how we were under vegan for so much and that's why people were like well Josh Josh Allen can't pass the ball and I go yeah because vegan just wanted to throw deep all the day time instead of taking you know the simple underneath stuff so I don't know Clint's chimes in saying he's hoping for a 200 passing yards per game yeah that's another number two that we haven't hit in a long time that would be cool um Peasley was at 165 last year just for a reference so close that's right so yeah so again as I said it's going to be a fascinating game to see how this all plays out but we will still make fools of oursel here and do a little prediction round and I'm just I'm gonna throw Brad on the spot first oh you want me to predict something Brad it is prediction time what do you think will be the final score of this football game the Wyoming Cowboys versus the Arizona State Sun Devils I'm gonna say 27 to7 but for Wyoming not Arizona State 27 to7 the bookmakers can suck it holy moly what that's pretty bold or no I'm sorry 27 to 20 that's what I meant okay 27 to7 would be [ __ ] awesome though but 20 to 27 to 20 okay Jesus Shay I'll make a bold one here I say w gets down early but wins like 3413 I think W's defense is too is too fast for lit okay big score I like it 3413 okay so I was like whoa that's that is bolder than Brad's even his first one it's a lot of points and it could happen right what did we say here they gave up you got to have 30 points a game they gave up 31 a game last year and we averaged 25 yeah I don't know man I don't even want to make a prediction no you have to I don't want to though you don't get to be the smug podcast host and be like all right thanks for your predictions and I told you so yeah these guys don't know what they're talking about put your on the line Chad no it's just okay well I'm worried about a lot of things um mainly the road right last year Wyoming on the road was terrible Beyond terrible unless they were playing right we beat Nevada but that team was like one of the worst in the country terrible um did we beat anybody else on the road I think that might have been our lone win right uh let me look yeah because there was only there was seven home game so that was the only one because technically b game was on the road that's neutral 3110 at Texas on the road lost to Air Force that was a got blown out by Boise of course lost show up that one was pretty disappointing and then Nevada so yeah Nevada was our lone I just I don't know I can't believe in this team I can't say they're going to win on the road against a a power five School even though they're terrible right I have to see it listen I watched New Mexico State be Auburn 31 to10 before so yeah that is crazy what year was that I forget that was like two years ago yeah wasn't very long ago yeah State could do it it could happen so we're going to see we're going to see the coaching shops of savil right because he's been beaten and saying we got to be consistent he's like we got to put in the same work the same consistency home or away win or loss so I don't know I just I'm gonna say it'll be close I think it'll be a little lower scoring maybe I'd probably go like 24 20 to Arizona State to give a guess but I don't know I could see it I don't know yeah I'll do 2420 but a loss unfortunately just so they can't he can't call me a homer oh man hang on what how many people are looking at the stream right now that are goingon to be I don't know says this is cautionary approach we learned from the last 10 years Chad I too am CAU cautiously optimistic yeah I can't wait to call you from the Vegas Strip on Saturday night and just clown you for that prediction you can do that that's fine I'll be happy to be wrong but I'm just I'll be asleep but tell me what I think yeah it's late so yes Mr Brad is jet setting this weekend to go see uh LSU and USC is that who it is right no no going to The Killers Oh I thought you're going to the football game I wish oh that would be awesome he's going to The Killers Oh I thought this whole trip was for the football game no no okay are The Killers playing in the spear no they're playing at the Coliseum oh boo we're going to the spere though to go see the show like their Daily Show so that'll be pretty sweet okay top it off with absin on Monday night so all right no it it's one of the it's like Vegas's best show and it's at Caesar's Palace and like a circus tent outside it's like constantly rated as like the best show Vegas it's awesome it's hilarious okay well we will we will hear your report on it when you get back bloodshot eyes and all and how great it is so yeah so there is our predictions we got two for Wyoming one for Arizona State we will see what happens um I'm just trying to think I don't know if there'll be a postgame show because it's gonna be like what midnight here when the game's over we'll see I'll do a pregame show for sure uh post game I don't know we'll have to see 2 a for me I'll be yeah if we win the game we'll do a postgame obviously because people will be pretty stoked but uh 8:30 yeah probably be 8:30 kickoff a game takes three three and a half hours in this TV age um but we'll see I don't know they tweaked any of the clock rules I don't think they have much they're trying to make the game Faster by adding more commercials yes I know yeah that is their Like official take that's what they say it makes no sense does it no idiot yeah they've added more commercial breaks in an effort to speed up the game what yeah it's [Laughter] Insanity listen man somebody's kind of stuff the pockets of these corporations so we can keep raising the price of ESPN that's true that's why the Mountain West went to True TV and TNT which is uh has anybody flipped to that that's tonight uh it started yet it's San Jose State versus Sacramento State oh who would even turn to that game well I will just to see what's going on here let's see here uh we get to watch Colorado lose on as TV they're winning now for now here we go I got True TV on and San Jose State is z00 it's just started 10 minutes to go in the first quarter so that is the new home of the Mountain West Wyoming will play I think just one game right now right scheduled or maybe two um they have one game scheduled against New Mexico and one against Idaho two okay so two or TV and they hired a good staff for studio and stuff so I'll have to check this out later was it one of the Bronco uh one of the former Bronco defensive backs one of the guys Champ Bailey yeah Champ Bailey is gonna be in the studio I think yeah that's an interesting career choice for him I just noticed this for uh Arizona State they don't have a kicker they have a kicker and they're all or on the depth chart that's going to B well for them oh interesting yeah let me see uh let me look that up really quick here if you don't if you have four kickers you don't have any kickers yes I would say so let's see who they had last year even their punter even their punter is an ore okay that's interesting that's making me rethink my thing I didn't look at the kicking game my favorite what are you doing let's see uh oh yeah so there they had a senior kicker last year in the name of Dario longto who was 11 of 16 and he graduated unless he's on the roster still who knows is is there a Dario longto no okay all right well there we go there's another thing to watch for they got four kickers listed as or they have three kickers their punter an ore their holders an ore and their long Snappers an ore special teams are up in the air you could say okay well there we go that's another thing to look at right because you know Wyoming's going to be probably pretty Rock Solid in there was it with your interview that he was uh red Shan was talking about Jake holding for him yeah said he could get the ball down faster than anybody he said he's like the best holder he's ever had yeah quickest ball to ground there is too he said be good yeah people forget that's an important statistic oh it is for a kicker it's everything it is I know that's why I mean you should have seen how happy he was when he was talking about that finally I have a holder so yeah okay well there we go you got might be right now I might be like oh wow there special teams there complete nightmare it's one third of the game Chad ho it is it is so all right any final words before we wrap this up for the night I'll be I'll be frantically watching games in my 45 minute layover in Seattle Saturday night so hopefully I can uh watch as much as possible Alaska is not very good at uh the worst day of the year to travel like literally I wanted to go Sunday morning so I could go to the football game here and watch the Wyoming Game and I was largely overruled and actually it's probably a good thing because I think I saw Alaska Airlines had another cyber breach this week so air or flights in and out of Seattle have been really uh uh delayed so probably a good thing we're go on Saturday night you should do uh just get that go go inlight and then they have streaming services you can pay extra for streaming on go go inlight now well we got upgraded to first class so maybe that comes with in Golight or something like that it should just pull up Keith Kelly just listen to the there you go probably what I'll be doing listen to the audio stream on go wyoming.com yeah stuff streams everywhere now Varsity Sports Network mm everywhere so yeah we'll see Chad's prediction wrong because he forgot to look at All Phases of the game I did I didn't even look at special teams I mean that's crazy that they have like a kicking roulette they might just be running kickers out there like a different kicker for every that would be insanely hilarious I mean you see teams who do that there's like you know there's like a short kicker and then a long kicker that might be what they're doing maybe they have a kickoff guy too and they have a kickoff guy yeah Wyoming used to have a middle linebacker that did that for him he would take he would stand straight behind the ball and just take two steps and and just ban it into the end zone yeah that was wild that's like Australian Rules type of kicking so all right boys and girls well there is your preview not a much view because we don't have anything to base this on so yeah you can come back and mock all of us especially me I have no problem being mocked if we if Arizona State you know misses a field a game-winning field goal at the buzzer because I didn't look at the their depth chart properly they they put in the kickoff guy and not the P guy yeah so but yeah I'll be back for a pregame show of some sort and then we'll see about the post game but uh yeah should be good so for Brad forche I am Chad thank you for joining us on the wild Nation Roundup we will talk to you guys soon
