Dishing with Dev. Devin Dampier, welcome back to the show.
13
00:00:43.890 --> 00:00:44.429
How are you feeling?
14
00:00:45.869 --> 00:00:46.810
Man, feeling great.
15
00:00:47.270 --> 00:00:49.030
Feeling great.
16
00:00:49.049 --> 00:00:49.390
7-0.
17
00:00:49.530 --> 00:00:52.439
Tell me how it feels right now. past the halfway
18
00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:54.880
point in the season. And so far things are going
19
00:00:54.899 --> 00:00:58.250
the way that everyone hoped they would just, how does
20
00:00:58.289 --> 00:01:00.049
it feel on a day-to-day basis up there?
21
00:01:01.850 --> 00:01:04.730
Yeah, man. I think when your expectations are so high
22
00:01:05.329 --> 00:01:09.810
and you know, you're actually succeeding with your expectations are, um,
23
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.819
It definitely feels good. It definitely allows you to know
24
00:01:13.859 --> 00:01:17.099
that our culture works. We'll be preaching in the locker room.
25
00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:17.959
It works.
26
00:01:19.469 --> 00:01:22.629
It's just a feeling of recognizing all the work we
27
00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:25.069
put in is working and we just got to continue
28
00:01:25.109 --> 00:01:26.510
and not let off the gas.
29
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:29.459
We talked about it a little bit last week, but
30
00:01:29.579 --> 00:01:31.739
now we have the benefit of hindsight as well. And
31
00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:35.439
part of the narrative around Utah versus Houston was, this
32
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.769
is the first time that Utah is going to be tested.
33
00:01:37.810 --> 00:01:40.510
This is the first time that Utah is facing a
34
00:01:40.549 --> 00:01:43.349
team that is truly their equal from a talent standpoint,
35
00:01:43.390 --> 00:01:46.510
from a quality of coaching standpoint, all these different things.
36
00:01:47.150 --> 00:01:49.469
And there were some people that doubted that you all
37
00:01:49.510 --> 00:01:52.109
would survive that test or that you all would succeed
38
00:01:52.670 --> 00:01:55.069
against a team that was as good, as talented as,
39
00:01:55.510 --> 00:01:58.269
I know that doubt never really existed in the building,
40
00:01:58.349 --> 00:02:00.549
but now that the results are there now, and it.
41
00:02:00.530 --> 00:02:01.150
Was a great game.
42
00:02:01.170 --> 00:02:03.170
It was a close game credit to Houston for doing
43
00:02:03.189 --> 00:02:05.780
what they did successfully. But at the end of the day,
44
00:02:06.019 --> 00:02:09.409
you all emerge victorious. You win, you cover, and you
45
00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:11.360
prove that you're one of the top teams in the country,
46
00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:15.439
even against high quality competition. Now that you, you get
47
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.919
to say, yeah, we didn't doubt that. And if you did,
48
00:02:17.939 --> 00:02:20.340
you were wrong. Like, give me, give me the sense
49
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.340
of how it played out relative to your expectations in
50
00:02:23.379 --> 00:02:24.199
that specific game.
51
00:02:26.490 --> 00:02:30.120
Yeah, no, the doubters, the doubters were definitely heard by,
52
00:02:30.509 --> 00:02:33.439
you know, our team. We definitely heard a lot of
53
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:38.340
that going on. And just for us, I mean, we, again,
54
00:02:38.379 --> 00:02:40.360
the coaches were preaching to us that this was going
55
00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:42.550
to be a close game. Like, you know, there's no
56
00:02:42.590 --> 00:02:44.530
way around it. It's going to be a game where
57
00:02:44.949 --> 00:02:47.469
we're going to have to fight to the end. You know,
58
00:02:47.490 --> 00:02:50.340
they're a talented group as well. So just already having
59
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:52.819
that mindset of this, you know, this is a game where,
60
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.159
you know, at the end of the day, at fourth quarter,
61
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.000
both teams are going to have a chance to make
62
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.039
this game happen. And, you know, I think just me
63
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.849
seeing our defense play, I think our defense is, they're
64
00:03:03.889 --> 00:03:07.270
so consistent and just able to give us opportunities when
65
00:03:07.310 --> 00:03:09.509
it's needed. And, you know, same way, other way around.
66
00:03:09.569 --> 00:03:11.949
I think, you know, there's drives where we get put
67
00:03:12.349 --> 00:03:14.509
on the four yard line or something and we find
68
00:03:14.569 --> 00:03:16.340
a way to get out of there and create points.
69
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.000
So I just think the way we've been playing has
70
00:03:18.020 --> 00:03:21.729
been consistent. Honestly, just amazing. Both sides of the ball
71
00:03:21.750 --> 00:03:22.750
the way we're helping each other.
72
00:03:23.270 --> 00:03:25.629
I go back to when we were having these conversations
73
00:03:25.689 --> 00:03:29.159
before the season started, like spring ball camp, and you
74
00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:33.979
talking about the fact that the communication across offense and
75
00:03:34.020 --> 00:03:35.939
defense now is maybe a little bit more open than
76
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.719
it used to be. You said it felt more like
77
00:03:38.780 --> 00:03:42.199
a full team, that it wasn't offense versus defense necessarily.
78
00:03:42.219 --> 00:03:46.030
Are we seeing that manifest itself with that complementary football
79
00:03:46.050 --> 00:03:46.689
you're talking about?
80
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.879
Yeah, for sure. I mean, even talking at halftime, you know,
81
00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:54.000
we never want to go in there with zero points.
82
00:03:54.099 --> 00:03:57.620
But just the supportiveness of the defense, the things that
83
00:03:57.659 --> 00:03:59.590
was being said, there was no negative going on in
84
00:03:59.610 --> 00:04:03.030
the locker room. There was no panic going on, you know.
85
00:04:03.729 --> 00:04:05.830
And those guys just came up to me. They said, Devin,
86
00:04:05.889 --> 00:04:08.490
just continue to lead and continue to be you. You know,
87
00:04:08.509 --> 00:04:12.819
we believe in you. And just honestly, all the positives
88
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.529
that was going on during halftime, definitely speaks value on
89
00:04:16.769 --> 00:04:19.009
the confidence that our offense was able to come out
90
00:04:19.209 --> 00:04:23.139
again and not feel the pressure of, you know, our
91
00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:26.730
defense thinks we're lacking too. Like we're all in this together.
92
00:04:28.490 --> 00:04:30.550
It was a slow start and you guys have been
93
00:04:30.769 --> 00:04:34.670
just red hot starters all year long. It was the
94
00:04:34.750 --> 00:04:37.449
first drive, the first opening possession that you have not
95
00:04:37.529 --> 00:04:41.910
scored a touchdown on in this 2026 season. You were
96
00:04:41.949 --> 00:04:44.509
six for six going into this game. Houston was able
97
00:04:44.550 --> 00:04:47.470
to get off the field and, you know, no points
98
00:04:47.509 --> 00:04:49.170
in the first, no points in the second, as you
99
00:04:49.189 --> 00:04:54.589
already alluded to when it's not. going smoothly offensively, what
100
00:04:54.610 --> 00:04:57.569
are the conversations like even before halftime, right? You come
101
00:04:57.670 --> 00:05:00.699
off after that first drive where every other game you've
102
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:01.819
scored a touchdown, that one.
103
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:02.379
You get nothing.
104
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.920
Do you go and regroup? Do you even have to
105
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.879
think about it? Give me a sense of as the
106
00:05:06.899 --> 00:05:10.060
game is unfolding, and it's not unfolding with the hot
107
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.850
start you're used to, what that conversation on the sideline
108
00:05:12.889 --> 00:05:13.110
is like.
109
00:05:15.259 --> 00:05:17.180
Yeah, you know, I think there was a big difference
110
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:22.579
in our third down conversions coming from the first half
111
00:05:22.610 --> 00:05:25.250
to the second half. I think Houston, you know, they
112
00:05:25.269 --> 00:05:27.629
did a great job. I think they also brought in
113
00:05:27.670 --> 00:05:31.290
some new stuff that we haven't seen them do against
114
00:05:31.329 --> 00:05:34.529
other defenses leading up to that game. So there's just
115
00:05:34.649 --> 00:05:37.290
a couple of adjustments we made at halftime to be
116
00:05:37.310 --> 00:05:40.769
able to come back out. But I mean, yeah, I
117
00:05:40.790 --> 00:05:43.850
think the conversations on the sidelines, you know, we just
118
00:05:43.889 --> 00:05:46.350
need one. We just, we gotta find, we gotta find
119
00:05:46.410 --> 00:05:49.629
our way to get, get that one touchdown. And, you know,
120
00:05:49.769 --> 00:05:51.310
after that, we, you know, we started to kind of
121
00:05:51.329 --> 00:05:53.959
get rid of them. We shot the role. So just
122
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:55.980
kind of trying to find that way to, you know,
123
00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:58.819
put those points on the board. And normally we, we
124
00:05:58.860 --> 00:05:59.519
roll after that.
125
00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:02.620
And you found a way in the third quarter and
126
00:06:02.740 --> 00:06:05.379
I'm not taking credit away from anyone else on the team,
127
00:06:05.459 --> 00:06:08.759
because I know it's always a team effort, but that drive,
128
00:06:08.779 --> 00:06:11.660
that scoring drive felt like there was a lot of
129
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.519
Devin Dampier being like, all right, I'm going to make
130
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.620
this happen for my team. And I know you always
131
00:06:16.660 --> 00:06:20.459
have that mentality, but tell me what you were seeing.
132
00:06:20.730 --> 00:06:23.670
Tell me if there was a difference between the first
133
00:06:23.689 --> 00:06:26.209
and the second half. I mean, you took off running
134
00:06:26.250 --> 00:06:28.910
on a lot of plays, took what the defense gave you,
135
00:06:28.970 --> 00:06:32.370
still hit some dinks, some dunks. That drive, that scoring drive,
136
00:06:32.410 --> 00:06:34.889
felt like a lot of Devin Dampier. Was that by design?
137
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.240
Yeah. You know, I think, you know, I think I've,
138
00:06:39.459 --> 00:06:41.639
I've been a quarterback this year. That's tried to play
139
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.970
inside the offense, tried to play inside the pocket, just
140
00:06:44.569 --> 00:06:48.509
being able to stay healthy and things like that. But yeah,
141
00:06:48.589 --> 00:06:51.810
I just, I have a competitive spirit and when that
142
00:06:51.850 --> 00:06:54.420
kicks in, you know, I, I turn it, I turn
143
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.120
it on and I do what I got to do
144
00:06:57.180 --> 00:06:59.660
at that, at that time. And at that time I
145
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.990
felt like running the ball was pretty successful and And
146
00:07:03.329 --> 00:07:04.430
just kept, just kept going.
147
00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:06.029
Did it feel good, right?
148
00:07:06.069 --> 00:07:09.050
Cause some people might've forgot, you know, I, I go
149
00:07:09.089 --> 00:07:13.060
back to watching your New Mexico film and obviously before you,
150
00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:15.779
you started to feel those injuries pile up last year,
151
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.720
you really made a lot of people miss running the
152
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:20.759
ball and you're, you're really good on your feet.
153
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:22.160
And I don't know if.
154
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:26.060
Everyone that watches Utah football remembered that. Did it feel
155
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.170
good to have that element of your game back in,
156
00:07:29.310 --> 00:07:30.209
back in the toolbox?
157
00:07:30.230 --> 00:07:30.370
Yeah.
158
00:07:32.050 --> 00:07:34.370
Yeah, it was kind of funny just hearing my teammates
159
00:07:34.449 --> 00:07:37.149
and fans and stuff just like, man, we forgot you
160
00:07:37.189 --> 00:07:39.970
could run like that. So it was kind of funny
161
00:07:40.129 --> 00:07:43.990
to just hear that. But yeah, I think, again, I
162
00:07:44.129 --> 00:07:45.889
think I was able to run like that because of
163
00:07:45.949 --> 00:07:50.350
how healthy I'm feeling in a week seven game. So
164
00:07:51.550 --> 00:07:53.029
just the way I've been coached, the way I've been
165
00:07:53.269 --> 00:07:57.439
playing just allowed me to be healthy throughout the season
166
00:07:57.500 --> 00:07:59.879
for a longer time than obviously last year.
167
00:07:59.899 --> 00:08:01.060
All right.
168
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:02.730
I got to do this. You know, I got to
169
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.290
do this. Tell me, tell me what you saw on
170
00:08:05.310 --> 00:08:06.209
the two interceptions.
171
00:08:06.230 --> 00:08:09.730
172
00:08:09.730 --> 00:08:10.939
173
00:08:10.939 --> 00:08:12.170
174
00:08:12.170 --> 00:08:13.379
175
00:08:13.379 --> 00:08:14.610
176
00:08:14.610 --> 00:08:15.819
177
00:08:15.819 --> 00:08:17.050
178
00:08:17.050 --> 00:08:18.269
179
00:08:18.269 --> 00:08:19.490
180
00:08:19.490 --> 00:08:20.720
181
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:21.939
182
00:08:21.939 --> 00:08:23.170
183
00:08:23.170 --> 00:08:24.389
184
00:08:24.389 --> 00:08:25.620
185
00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:26.839
186
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:28.069
187
00:08:28.069 --> 00:08:29.290
188
00:08:29.290 --> 00:08:30.519
189
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:31.740
190
00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:33.259
I don't even know if
191
00:08:33.269 --> 00:08:35.480
there's an explanation that I felt that as soon as
192
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.480
I threw it, I was just like, yeah, I will.
193
00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:40.659
That's when you, you won back for sure.
194
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.840
Speaker 0 1 thing that, and we talked about this
195
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.700
on Monday and you and I have talked about this
196
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:50.200
before there, everyone makes mistakes when you're the quarterback and
197
00:08:50.220 --> 00:08:53.409
you got the ball on every play, right? It's magnified.
198
00:08:53.649 --> 00:08:55.330
All the good stuff you do is magnified. All the
199
00:08:55.350 --> 00:08:58.090
bad stuff you do is magnified. I think one of
200
00:08:58.110 --> 00:09:00.740
the things that separates you And I've said it many
201
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.159
times in many different ways is your ability to forget
202
00:09:05.730 --> 00:09:08.769
is your ability to say, that's not me. I'm going
203
00:09:08.789 --> 00:09:10.309
to go out and I'm going to make the next play.
204
00:09:10.350 --> 00:09:11.610
I'm going to go out and I'm going to execute
205
00:09:11.669 --> 00:09:14.429
next time. And I think that one of the most
206
00:09:14.490 --> 00:09:16.929
important things, and you could correct me if I'm wrong,
207
00:09:17.590 --> 00:09:21.750
is that your teammates trust that also, is that accurate
208
00:09:21.970 --> 00:09:25.049
where like, if there is a mistake made, if it's a,
209
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.009
and it's not only you, but like when somebody on
210
00:09:28.049 --> 00:09:32.769
this team misses an assignment, throws a pig, fumbles the ball, whatever,
211
00:09:33.429 --> 00:09:36.870
it feels like there's trust from the coaching staff and
212
00:09:36.909 --> 00:09:39.240
from the rest of the team that he will write
213
00:09:39.269 --> 00:09:39.769
that wrong.
214
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.139
Am I off on assuming that?
215
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.940
Speaker 4 0 No, not at all. I think just
216
00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:51.679
coming from a Maggie and a Gundy Coming from their views,
217
00:09:51.730 --> 00:09:54.889
you know, they love my competitive spirit. They love that
218
00:09:55.470 --> 00:09:57.970
I'm going out there to, you know, not play to lose,
219
00:09:58.029 --> 00:10:01.600
the play, play to win. So, um, they, they love
220
00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:05.259
that mentality. They're, good with my decisions. Um, they let
221
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.240
me know, you know, when I do have those mistakes,
222
00:10:07.259 --> 00:10:11.110
just would have kind of done differently, obviously. And just
223
00:10:11.129 --> 00:10:14.289
from a teammate standpoint, um, I feel like, you know,
224
00:10:14.710 --> 00:10:17.190
I think everybody messes up on the field at some
225
00:10:17.230 --> 00:10:20.830
point and I'm very encouraging to pick them up and,
226
00:10:21.009 --> 00:10:23.250
you know, allow them to know, we, we know who
227
00:10:23.269 --> 00:10:26.070
you are every day. I mean, we practice multiple times
228
00:10:26.149 --> 00:10:28.649
in a week before game day. So, uh, we know
229
00:10:28.669 --> 00:10:32.600
what you're capable of. Um, you know, obviously mine get
230
00:10:32.620 --> 00:10:35.220
a little bit more attention at, at times, just cause
231
00:10:36.019 --> 00:10:39.509
my mistakes can, can rather have us have the ball
232
00:10:39.529 --> 00:10:42.090
or them have the ball. So, but I think our
233
00:10:42.169 --> 00:10:45.429
team just understands everyone makes them and they know my
234
00:10:45.909 --> 00:10:47.529
competitive spirit. I'm going to bounce back.
235
00:10:47.549 --> 00:10:48.809
Speaker 0 7, Devin damp.
236
00:10:48.830 --> 00:10:50.509
Here's our guest issue with dev is brought to you
237
00:10:50.529 --> 00:10:53.909
by Culligan water of salt lake city, America first credit union.
238
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.110
Valley blubbing, heating, and cooling. We do it every week
239
00:10:57.629 --> 00:11:00.450
on the Sean O'Connell show. So, I mean, this was
240
00:11:00.509 --> 00:11:03.370
a tight game and you guys have, you guys have
241
00:11:03.389 --> 00:11:06.549
a one point lead and the ball goes back to
242
00:11:06.570 --> 00:11:10.039
Houston and touch back. They're about to start. There's a
243
00:11:10.059 --> 00:11:12.899
little over two minutes left. There's a two minute timeout coming.
244
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.240
I think at that point they still had one time
245
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.720
out of their own to use. And they got an
246
00:11:17.779 --> 00:11:21.250
experienced quarterback, your counterpart on their team. Connor Wegman is
247
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.279
a talented player. Didn't have his best day. your defense
248
00:11:24.299 --> 00:11:27.789
did a great job against him, but what are you
249
00:11:27.870 --> 00:11:30.570
all feeling on the sideline as the defense runs back
250
00:11:30.690 --> 00:11:32.710
out there in that scenario?
251
00:11:32.730 --> 00:11:38.830
Speaker 3 6th and man, I mean, at first, I
252
00:11:38.870 --> 00:11:41.529
think those guys have been playing lights out the whole game. So,
253
00:11:42.210 --> 00:11:44.649
you know, my confidence was there that they're going to
254
00:11:44.690 --> 00:11:46.029
find a way, they're going to find a way to
255
00:11:46.070 --> 00:11:48.389
get a stop for us. And we're going to have
256
00:11:48.409 --> 00:11:51.750
to close this game out. And yeah, again, that was
257
00:11:51.769 --> 00:11:55.460
the thought process. I think when you see Benny make
258
00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:59.830
a play like that, uh, shoot, that was, that was crazy.
259
00:12:00.409 --> 00:12:03.549
I've heard, I've heard right. That goes go out. I, that,
260
00:12:03.649 --> 00:12:06.330
that was one where like, I go, I was able
261
00:12:06.370 --> 00:12:08.639
to see the whole, the whole stadium was kind of
262
00:12:08.659 --> 00:12:12.009
still packed out at fourth quarter, uh, which is, which
263
00:12:12.070 --> 00:12:14.889
is pretty like, that's pretty good for a fan base
264
00:12:14.980 --> 00:12:18.539
to stick around the whole entire game. You know, the
265
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.480
game was close, but just for everybody to be there, yeah,
266
00:12:21.500 --> 00:12:22.039
it got loud.
267
00:12:22.059 --> 00:12:23.000
So there was a voice showed up.
268
00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:24.820
.
269
00:12:24.659 --> 00:12:26.220
270
00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:27.779
271
00:12:27.779 --> 00:12:29.340
272
00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:30.889
273
00:12:30.889 --> 00:12:32.450
274
00:12:32.450 --> 00:12:34.000
275
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.559
276
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.110
277
00:12:37.110 --> 00:12:38.669
278
00:12:38.669 --> 00:12:40.220
279
00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:44.110
things got really loud. Jackson, Benny blitzing,
280
00:12:44.929 --> 00:12:47.970
taken down Wegman ball going out, giant falling on it.
281
00:12:48.009 --> 00:12:50.590
That, that was close. And I don't know if you
282
00:12:50.610 --> 00:12:51.610
saw this, I'm sure you did it.
283
00:12:52.350 --> 00:12:56.470
It got so loud in rice echo stadium that there
284
00:12:56.490 --> 00:12:59.500
was the, you know, they do the, the, the seismic
285
00:12:59.549 --> 00:13:02.399
readings or whatever it registers as a tiny earthquake when
286
00:13:02.419 --> 00:13:03.440
the stadium gets that loud.
287
00:13:03.460 --> 00:13:05.259
288
00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:05.700
289
00:13:05.700 --> 00:13:06.120
290
00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:06.549
291
00:13:06.549 --> 00:13:06.990
292
00:13:06.990 --> 00:13:07.409
293
00:13:07.409 --> 00:13:07.850
294
00:13:07.850 --> 00:13:08.269
295
00:13:08.269 --> 00:13:08.700
296
00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:09.120
297
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:09.549
298
00:13:09.549 --> 00:13:09.970
299
00:13:09.970 --> 00:13:10.399
300
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:10.519
.
301
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.889
So in that scenario, you get the
302
00:13:13.929 --> 00:13:18.870
ball back. You're already in scoring position. And now the
303
00:13:18.950 --> 00:13:21.889
clock is either your friend or your enemy, depending on
304
00:13:21.929 --> 00:13:25.909
what happens in that possession. And of course you scored immediately.
305
00:13:26.629 --> 00:13:29.929
Was there any thought? Was there any conversation? Was there
306
00:13:29.980 --> 00:13:34.059
anyone in your ear saying, Hey, Let's milk this clock
307
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.259
a little bit. Let's, you know, if, if there's green
308
00:13:36.299 --> 00:13:38.919
grass in front of you, maybe get down and use
309
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.179
an extra play or force them to use a timeout
310
00:13:41.580 --> 00:13:42.039
or whatever.
311
00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:42.659
Was there any.
312
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:47.960
Conversation about delaying the scoring, delaying the touchdown in order
313
00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:50.100
to take some clock away from Houston?
314
00:13:52.139 --> 00:13:52.379
Yeah.
315
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.960
Just being on the sideline, you know, it was conversated.
316
00:13:55.980 --> 00:13:57.659
The ball was going to be in my hands, you know,
317
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:02.480
for that kind of drive. And yeah, before we went
318
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:03.860
out there, I went up to coach Gowling and I
319
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.340
was just like, you want me to get, I think we, yeah.
320
00:14:07.860 --> 00:14:10.080
I just asked him, do you want me to score?
321
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:10.600
Yes.
322
00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:13.700
No. And he was like, yeah, score, score the ball.
323
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.950
You get the opportunity. So the opportunity was there on
324
00:14:17.970 --> 00:14:18.919
the first play and I took it.
325
00:14:18.929 --> 00:14:21.149
Speaker 0 7, Was there ever a thought to go
326
00:14:21.210 --> 00:14:23.690
for two there and make it a nine point game?
327
00:14:23.870 --> 00:14:26.350
And at that point, that's kind of completely out of
328
00:14:26.389 --> 00:14:27.789
reach if it's a two position game.
329
00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:32.240
Yeah, you know, I think that conversation would have been
330
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.139
had if our defense wasn't playing as good as they
331
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.080
were when, you know, they were there for a whole
332
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.679
entire game to allow 13 points. You know, you should
333
00:14:42.299 --> 00:14:44.299
have pretty good confidence in those guys that they're going
334
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:46.830
to get the job done. So being up eight, you know,
335
00:14:46.870 --> 00:14:50.250
we were totally good with our defense closing that out.
336
00:14:51.029 --> 00:14:54.149
Yes, the defense did play incredibly well. They gave up
337
00:14:54.149 --> 00:14:57.289
86 yards on the ground to a Houston team that
338
00:14:57.330 --> 00:15:01.490
was averaging 220. You guys were very, very similar statistically
339
00:15:01.570 --> 00:15:03.840
coming into this game. I don't know how much that
340
00:15:03.860 --> 00:15:07.279
was part of the practice and film conversation, but you
341
00:15:07.299 --> 00:15:09.840
score one point per game more than they do. They
342
00:15:09.899 --> 00:15:12.379
rush for like half a yard per game more than
343
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:16.500
Utah does. And in this one, your offense generates 226
344
00:15:16.500 --> 00:15:21.009
yards on the ground. 150 of those belong to Devin
345
00:15:21.029 --> 00:15:25.200
Dampier himself. And then Houston with that potent rushing attack,
346
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:29.080
only able to get 86 yards on the ground. And
347
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.860
obviously that's that complimentary football we're talking about when they
348
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.220
can't implement their actual game plan, which involves a lot
349
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.649
of running, it takes options away and it makes it.
350
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.159
So Connor Wegman has to be a hero and he
351
00:15:40.379 --> 00:15:42.500
just wasn't able to do it because your defense was
352
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:43.059
playing so well.
353
00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:45.379
Yeah.
354
00:15:45.580 --> 00:15:45.840
Yeah.
355
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.490
Again, we knew before going in that, you know, our
356
00:15:48.570 --> 00:15:54.169
offenses were very, yeah, again, statistically similar. So we knew
357
00:15:54.190 --> 00:15:56.929
it was going to become a game where, you know,
358
00:15:57.009 --> 00:15:59.029
especially both of our defenses as well, both of our
359
00:15:59.049 --> 00:16:02.629
defenses were pretty high ranked for third down. So we
360
00:16:02.649 --> 00:16:04.690
knew the game was going to honestly come down to
361
00:16:05.490 --> 00:16:09.340
physicality up front, whose run game was not going to
362
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:13.440
be as effective as the other. And third down, third downs,
363
00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:16.309
who can, who can get, get our offense back on
364
00:16:16.330 --> 00:16:20.190
the field more. And, you know, they gave us those
365
00:16:20.230 --> 00:16:21.210
opportunities for sure.
366
00:16:21.230 --> 00:16:24.070
Speaker 2, Sean, we we've seen this now in a
367
00:16:24.110 --> 00:16:27.769
couple of different games where, you know, he, he is
368
00:16:27.909 --> 00:16:31.470
capable of being a workhorse, being a bell cow back.
369
00:16:32.269 --> 00:16:35.750
And sometimes it just doesn't translate that way. 17 touches
370
00:16:35.789 --> 00:16:39.299
in this game. He did have a beautiful reception taken
371
00:16:39.340 --> 00:16:42.080
away on a penalty that would have added to his
372
00:16:42.139 --> 00:16:45.259
stat line. But as we have talked about before, he
373
00:16:45.299 --> 00:16:48.519
still impacts the game so significantly, even when the ball
374
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:49.759
is not in his hand.
375
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.779
But but he scored the go ahead touchdown.
376
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.809
Right. So it's like this guy, even when he's not
377
00:16:55.950 --> 00:17:00.529
being given 25 touches, a game is still one of
378
00:17:00.549 --> 00:17:02.690
the most valuable pieces in your offense. Just speak, if
379
00:17:02.730 --> 00:17:05.390
you can, to how important way Sean Parker is as
380
00:17:05.470 --> 00:17:07.930
a teammate, as a captain, as a guy that you
381
00:17:07.950 --> 00:17:10.339
can trust when all the chips are down and you
382
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:10.930
got to go score.
383
00:17:13.029 --> 00:17:13.349
Yeah.
384
00:17:13.450 --> 00:17:16.589
I mean, when Sean, he, he's one of those guys,
385
00:17:16.630 --> 00:17:18.849
you know, I, I'm able to give them the check down.
386
00:17:18.890 --> 00:17:21.430
I mean, we got such talented receivers, you know, those,
387
00:17:21.890 --> 00:17:24.539
those guys are, are well respected by the defense. And,
388
00:17:25.619 --> 00:17:27.339
you know, I, I love that. I get to throw
389
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:29.299
the ball. I get to make a two yard pass
390
00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:31.619
and way Sean somehow turns into a 20 yard game.
391
00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:36.019
So he finds a way to make big plays, whether
392
00:17:36.059 --> 00:17:38.779
it's running the ball or, passing the ball, and then
393
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:42.890
just his ability to block, his mentality to block. It's
394
00:17:43.529 --> 00:17:46.930
so different than you see a lot of running backs have.
395
00:17:47.589 --> 00:17:52.609
He takes pride in protecting me. He truly finds it
396
00:17:52.650 --> 00:17:54.490
like a brotherhood, like I'm not going to let you
397
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:59.279
touch my brother. He goes against guys that's 285. Sometimes
398
00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:02.359
it's the 300 guys getting through, and he's willing to
399
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.230
take that hit. and especially in the run run game.
400
00:18:06.339 --> 00:18:08.230
I mean, we give the ball to Bray Bray's falling
401
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:11.279
away and ways putting people on the ground. So there's,
402
00:18:11.299 --> 00:18:15.700
there's so much about ways that besides the touchdowns that
403
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:17.920
you don't see that he's doing a great.
404
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:24.019
Job, Speaker 0 7 0, Utah football team. So we're,
405
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.539
we're getting into details here and I shouldn't ask you
406
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.119
to speak for another man, but I know you guys
407
00:18:29.180 --> 00:18:33.589
are close bird. Ficklin, not a huge part of what
408
00:18:33.650 --> 00:18:36.390
ended up happening in this game. I think he ended
409
00:18:36.450 --> 00:18:41.650
up with one touch officially. How's he handling that? I
410
00:18:41.690 --> 00:18:44.599
know that this is all team, and as long as
411
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.960
you come out with the win, everybody's happy, but he's
412
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:50.319
a competitor as well, and I'm sure he wants more.
413
00:18:51.089 --> 00:18:52.309
How's it working with Bird right now?
414
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.890
Yeah, again, as a competitor, you always want to feel
415
00:18:56.910 --> 00:19:00.490
like you're contributing. And, you know, and that was something
416
00:19:00.509 --> 00:19:03.009
that was talked about the day after when we're all together. Just,
417
00:19:03.509 --> 00:19:04.910
you know, we want to find ways to get you
418
00:19:04.950 --> 00:19:07.670
on the field, no doubt. Like, that's not a secret.
419
00:19:08.569 --> 00:19:10.869
We want Bird on the field. And, you know, just
420
00:19:11.329 --> 00:19:15.170
the way that game went, the things I was working
421
00:19:15.230 --> 00:19:19.009
was kind of just drop back pass, having receivers spread out,
422
00:19:19.549 --> 00:19:21.849
allowing me to be able to run, take run lanes
423
00:19:21.890 --> 00:19:25.880
when it was there. and yeah, just the way the
424
00:19:25.900 --> 00:19:28.039
game went. And, you know, at the end of the day,
425
00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:31.569
whatever makes us want to know that week, I feel
426
00:19:31.589 --> 00:19:36.130
like everyone finds that as a win, regardless of how little,
427
00:19:36.170 --> 00:19:40.829
how big their contribution was. Speaker 0 7.
428
00:19:40.829 --> 00:19:41.049
All right.
429
00:19:41.069 --> 00:19:43.630
Now it's on to Cincinnati or Cincinnati team that is
430
00:19:43.670 --> 00:19:46.930
coming off a huge win. They beat Texas tech last weekend.
431
00:19:47.890 --> 00:19:49.849
I know you're all very aware of that. This team
432
00:19:49.930 --> 00:19:54.410
can run the ball super effectively defensively. Tell me what
433
00:19:54.430 --> 00:19:56.069
you're seeing from the Cincinnati defense.
434
00:19:58.549 --> 00:20:01.329
Yeah. I think they're, they're a solid group. They can,
435
00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:04.279
I think they have their moments where, you know, they
436
00:20:04.299 --> 00:20:07.980
do play really well. And I think there's opportunities for
437
00:20:08.019 --> 00:20:11.859
you to also take advantage of their defense as well.
438
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.269
But man, I think, you know, the biggest question of
439
00:20:16.309 --> 00:20:18.960
the week going into this game is, you know, they
440
00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:21.089
just came off a big win. So did us. So
441
00:20:21.549 --> 00:20:23.369
I just feel like the biggest thing is who can
442
00:20:23.390 --> 00:20:27.890
be more level-headed by game time, who can get over,
443
00:20:27.930 --> 00:20:31.410
you know, their win faster and start really blocking in
444
00:20:31.450 --> 00:20:33.930
on getting another win. So I think that's just the
445
00:20:33.970 --> 00:20:35.670
biggest mentality going into this week.
446
00:20:38.049 --> 00:20:41.079
Tell me the specifics of how you as a leader,
447
00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:44.740
as a captain manage that, because we're to a point
448
00:20:44.779 --> 00:20:49.759
now in college football where everybody recognizes these danger spots, right?
449
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:52.799
We recognized it last week with BYU beats Notre Dame.
450
00:20:52.900 --> 00:20:55.200
Oh, watch out for UCF. You can't let down in
451
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.690
that game. We knew it. BYU knew it still. They
452
00:20:58.730 --> 00:20:59.430
couldn't avoid it.
453
00:21:00.150 --> 00:21:03.150
So when you're aware of it, how do you actually
454
00:21:03.210 --> 00:21:05.390
approach making sure you don't fall into that trap?
455
00:21:05.410 --> 00:21:05.609
Devin?
456
00:21:07.569 --> 00:21:11.640
Yeah, I think, you know, for me personally, I mean, just,
457
00:21:11.900 --> 00:21:15.619
just being a quarterback, you know, my, my ability to
458
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.779
be better than next week, every single week is at
459
00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:22.119
a pretty high level. I always want to find a
460
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:24.700
way to be the best Devin I can be every
461
00:21:24.740 --> 00:21:27.519
single week. And just the way Scali preaches it to
462
00:21:27.539 --> 00:21:30.230
our team, you know, we, we set, we celebrate for
463
00:21:30.250 --> 00:21:33.670
our two days for sure. And then after that, you know,
464
00:21:33.710 --> 00:21:38.650
it is onto the next it's, it's find the ways
465
00:21:38.730 --> 00:21:41.190
to also learn from our past game. And I think
466
00:21:41.210 --> 00:21:44.329
that's the biggest thing is when we get, when we
467
00:21:44.349 --> 00:21:47.250
meet up, you know, we can hear our defense being like, bro,
468
00:21:47.269 --> 00:21:49.950
we would have did like three different things. If we
469
00:21:49.970 --> 00:21:51.730
would have did something different on three different plays, they
470
00:21:51.750 --> 00:21:54.349
probably wouldn't have scored at all. Or you hear the
471
00:21:54.410 --> 00:21:57.009
offense like, bro, we could have put up two more
472
00:21:57.049 --> 00:22:00.660
touchdowns if we just executed this right. So just to
473
00:22:00.730 --> 00:22:03.779
hear that, you know, we're winning games and we're learning,
474
00:22:03.819 --> 00:22:06.690
we're learning, we're, still have that eager to be better
475
00:22:06.710 --> 00:22:08.519
than the next week. I think that's, what's keeping us
476
00:22:08.539 --> 00:22:11.240
consistent every week on, you know, respecting our opponent.
477
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.619
My understanding is that the travel is a little bit
478
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.099
different because you're going so far.
479
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:19.619
Are you leaving a little bit earlier?
480
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:22.019
Yep.
481
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.009
Yep. Just, we leave earlier Friday to get out there
482
00:22:26.069 --> 00:22:30.109
and just adjust time-wise and just a little bit of,
483
00:22:30.130 --> 00:22:34.150
I guess, sleep schedule. We're getting that right as well.
484
00:22:36.589 --> 00:22:39.049
It'll be, we've had a lot of conversations.
485
00:22:39.069 --> 00:22:42.059
The fan base had a lot of conversations about the
486
00:22:42.210 --> 00:22:46.220
proliferation of night games and we love rice Eccles at night.
487
00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:49.559
That blackout was incredible. The atmosphere was phenomenal. As we
488
00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:53.900
have already discussed, this one is a day game. So
489
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.599
can it be a little bit different? How do you
490
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:01.319
personally make those adjustments on game day when it's, you know,
491
00:23:01.829 --> 00:23:03.750
breakfast and then you got to get ready to play
492
00:23:03.789 --> 00:23:05.349
or it's breakfast and lunch and you got to get
493
00:23:05.390 --> 00:23:07.450
ready to play, or you get to watch games all
494
00:23:07.470 --> 00:23:09.329
day and wait around because it's a night game.
495
00:23:10.069 --> 00:23:10.730
How do you adjust?
496
00:23:13.009 --> 00:23:14.019
497
00:23:14.019 --> 00:23:14.869
498
00:23:14.869 --> 00:23:15.710
499
00:23:15.710 --> 00:23:16.569
500
00:23:16.569 --> 00:23:17.589
.
501
00:23:17.500 --> 00:23:18.349
502
00:23:18.349 --> 00:23:19.200
503
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:20.049
504
00:23:20.049 --> 00:23:20.900
505
00:23:20.900 --> 00:23:21.750
506
00:23:21.750 --> 00:23:22.599
507
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:23.450
508
00:23:23.450 --> 00:23:24.299
509
00:23:24.299 --> 00:23:25.150
510
00:23:25.150 --> 00:23:26.000
511
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:26.839
512
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:27.690
513
00:23:27.690 --> 00:23:29.329
Even other teams going from
514
00:23:29.369 --> 00:23:33.210
a 10 a.m. game to a night game, you don't
515
00:23:33.250 --> 00:23:35.609
need your body to be awake at 10 a.m. You
516
00:23:35.630 --> 00:23:40.079
want to keep your body rested. When your game is
517
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:43.660
at 1 o'clock, you want to make sure that your
518
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:46.259
body is awake at that time. You're ready to go.
519
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:50.039
There's a little bit of difference, but I just think
520
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:52.759
the two days before, if you prep yourself the right
521
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.380
way and let your body feel the way it should,
522
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:56.809
then you'll be all right.
523
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:01.039
524
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:02.150
525
00:24:02.150 --> 00:24:03.920
526
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:05.599
527
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:06.849
528
00:24:06.849 --> 00:24:29.910
doesn't matter to me, but how
529
00:24:29.930 --> 00:24:31.509
do you feel about a 10 a.m.
530
00:24:31.549 --> 00:24:32.329
Holy war kickoff?
531
00:24:32.349 --> 00:24:36.000
532
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:37.069
533
00:24:37.069 --> 00:24:38.130
534
00:24:38.130 --> 00:24:39.190
535
00:24:39.190 --> 00:24:40.259
536
00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:41.329
537
00:24:41.329 --> 00:24:42.390
538
00:24:42.390 --> 00:24:43.450
539
00:24:43.450 --> 00:24:44.519
540
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:45.589
541
00:24:45.589 --> 00:24:46.650
542
00:24:46.650 --> 00:24:47.710
543
00:24:47.710 --> 00:24:48.779
544
00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:49.849
545
00:24:49.849 --> 00:24:50.910
546
00:24:50.910 --> 00:24:51.970
547
00:24:51.970 --> 00:24:53.039
548
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:54.109
549
00:24:54.109 --> 00:24:55.170
550
00:24:55.170 --> 00:24:56.230
551
00:24:56.230 --> 00:24:58.259
But I mean, yeah, again, at the end of
552
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:00.779
the day, you know, we're, we're football players or we're
553
00:25:00.819 --> 00:25:04.130
just ready to get out there and play in any environment.
554
00:25:04.150 --> 00:25:07.890
Speaker 0 1, there's been a lot of conversation around
555
00:25:07.910 --> 00:25:12.869
the university of Utah and Pat McAfee and all of
556
00:25:12.910 --> 00:25:16.730
that stuff is 1000% unrelated to anything you guys are doing.
557
00:25:16.890 --> 00:25:20.210
And if anything, it's a distraction from what you are doing.
558
00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:22.400
What, what are your thoughts?
559
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.009
If you have any, what, like, is it something that's
560
00:25:25.069 --> 00:25:26.549
being talked about in the locker room?
561
00:25:29.049 --> 00:25:31.430
Not, not on a serious manner. I think, you know,
562
00:25:31.450 --> 00:25:34.329
people brought it up. It's, it's something that's going on
563
00:25:34.369 --> 00:25:36.130
around our school. Like we hear about it.
564
00:25:37.990 --> 00:25:38.210
Yeah.
565
00:25:38.289 --> 00:25:41.289
I mean, I, I don't really understand. I don't really
566
00:25:41.329 --> 00:25:44.210
know the situation enough to really speak on it fully.
567
00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:49.339
You know, I hope he, I hope Pat doesn't truly
568
00:25:49.380 --> 00:25:52.380
feel that way. I hope like, I mean, I don't know.
569
00:25:52.460 --> 00:25:56.349
It sounds like a, he did feel that way. So
570
00:25:56.450 --> 00:25:57.529
I don't know. I don't know.
571
00:25:57.549 --> 00:26:01.829
572
00:26:01.829 --> 00:26:05.440
573
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:09.069
574
00:26:09.069 --> 00:26:12.690
575
00:26:12.690 --> 00:26:15.230
.
576
00:26:14.869 --> 00:26:18.490
577
00:26:18.490 --> 00:26:20.680
.
578
00:26:20.309 --> 00:26:23.059
How many times have
579
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:24.240
you been to Cincinnati before?
580
00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:31.109
I want it. Isn't it? Isn't it? See your point
581
00:26:31.150 --> 00:26:36.250
out there. The, the, the, I wanted the theme park
582
00:26:36.289 --> 00:26:37.109
amusement park.
583
00:26:37.190 --> 00:26:37.569
Yeah.
584
00:26:38.490 --> 00:26:41.779
I went out there with my family once and just
585
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:44.339
to go to amusement park, me and my, me and
586
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:47.329
my cousins, but I was only like, seven years old
587
00:26:47.369 --> 00:26:50.549
at that time. So I've been out there once for
588
00:26:50.569 --> 00:26:53.220
a little bit, so I don't really remember. So this
589
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:55.079
kind of, I'll say this is like my first time
590
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:57.420
really getting that experience.
591
00:26:57.660 --> 00:26:58.079
All right.
592
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:02.880
No theme parks, go get a win. And man, this
593
00:27:02.940 --> 00:27:05.160
is a big week for the, all the obvious reasons.
594
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:08.220
And I very much look forward to our conversation next
595
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:08.920
week as well.
596
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:09.519
Stay healthy.
597
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:09.799

598
00:27:09.819 --> 00:27:10.480
We'll chat soon.
599
00:27:11.809 --> 00:27:12.230
All right.
600
00:27:12.250 --> 00:27:12.569

Dishing with Dev. Devin Dampier, welcome back to the show.
13
00:00:43.890 --> 00:00:44.429
How are you feeling?
14
00:00:45.869 --> 00:00:46.810
Man, feeling great.
15
00:00:47.270 --> 00:00:49.030
Feeling great.
16
00:00:49.049 --> 00:00:49.390
7-0.
17
00:00:49.530 --> 00:00:52.439
Tell me how it feels right now. past the halfway
18
00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:54.880
point in the season. And so far things are going
19
00:00:54.899 --> 00:00:58.250
the way that everyone hoped they would just, how does
20
00:00:58.289 --> 00:01:00.049
it feel on a day-to-day basis up there?
21
00:01:01.850 --> 00:01:04.730
Yeah, man. I think when your expectations are so high
22
00:01:05.329 --> 00:01:09.810
and you know, you're actually succeeding with your expectations are, um,
23
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.819
It definitely feels good. It definitely allows you to know
24
00:01:13.859 --> 00:01:17.099
that our culture works. We'll be preaching in the locker room.
25
00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:17.959
It works.
26
00:01:19.469 --> 00:01:22.629
It's just a feeling of recognizing all the work we
27
00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:25.069
put in is working and we just got to continue
28
00:01:25.109 --> 00:01:26.510
and not let off the gas.
29
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:29.459
We talked about it a little bit last week, but
30
00:01:29.579 --> 00:01:31.739
now we have the benefit of hindsight as well. And
31
00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:35.439
part of the narrative around Utah versus Houston was, this
32
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.769
is the first time that Utah is going to be tested.
33
00:01:37.810 --> 00:01:40.510
This is the first time that Utah is facing a
34
00:01:40.549 --> 00:01:43.349
team that is truly their equal from a talent standpoint,
35
00:01:43.390 --> 00:01:46.510
from a quality of coaching standpoint, all these different things.
36
00:01:47.150 --> 00:01:49.469
And there were some people that doubted that you all
37
00:01:49.510 --> 00:01:52.109
would survive that test or that you all would succeed
38
00:01:52.670 --> 00:01:55.069
against a team that was as good, as talented as,
39
00:01:55.510 --> 00:01:58.269
I know that doubt never really existed in the building,
40
00:01:58.349 --> 00:02:00.549
but now that the results are there now, and it.
41
00:02:00.530 --> 00:02:01.150
Was a great game.
42
00:02:01.170 --> 00:02:03.170
It was a close game credit to Houston for doing
43
00:02:03.189 --> 00:02:05.780
what they did successfully. But at the end of the day,
44
00:02:06.019 --> 00:02:09.409
you all emerge victorious. You win, you cover, and you
45
00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:11.360
prove that you're one of the top teams in the country,
46
00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:15.439
even against high quality competition. Now that you, you get
47
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.919
to say, yeah, we didn't doubt that. And if you did,
48
00:02:17.939 --> 00:02:20.340
you were wrong. Like, give me, give me the sense
49
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.340
of how it played out relative to your expectations in
50
00:02:23.379 --> 00:02:24.199
that specific game.
51
00:02:26.490 --> 00:02:30.120
Yeah, no, the doubters, the doubters were definitely heard by,
52
00:02:30.509 --> 00:02:33.439
you know, our team. We definitely heard a lot of
53
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:38.340
that going on. And just for us, I mean, we, again,
54
00:02:38.379 --> 00:02:40.360
the coaches were preaching to us that this was going
55
00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:42.550
to be a close game. Like, you know, there's no
56
00:02:42.590 --> 00:02:44.530
way around it. It's going to be a game where
57
00:02:44.949 --> 00:02:47.469
we're going to have to fight to the end. You know,
58
00:02:47.490 --> 00:02:50.340
they're a talented group as well. So just already having
59
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:52.819
that mindset of this, you know, this is a game where,
60
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.159
you know, at the end of the day, at fourth quarter,
61
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.000
both teams are going to have a chance to make
62
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.039
this game happen. And, you know, I think just me
63
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.849
seeing our defense play, I think our defense is, they're
64
00:03:03.889 --> 00:03:07.270
so consistent and just able to give us opportunities when
65
00:03:07.310 --> 00:03:09.509
it's needed. And, you know, same way, other way around.
66
00:03:09.569 --> 00:03:11.949
I think, you know, there's drives where we get put
67
00:03:12.349 --> 00:03:14.509
on the four yard line or something and we find
68
00:03:14.569 --> 00:03:16.340
a way to get out of there and create points.
69
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.000
So I just think the way we've been playing has
70
00:03:18.020 --> 00:03:21.729
been consistent. Honestly, just amazing. Both sides of the ball
71
00:03:21.750 --> 00:03:22.750
the way we're helping each other.
72
00:03:23.270 --> 00:03:25.629
I go back to when we were having these conversations
73
00:03:25.689 --> 00:03:29.159
before the season started, like spring ball camp, and you
74
00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:33.979
talking about the fact that the communication across offense and
75
00:03:34.020 --> 00:03:35.939
defense now is maybe a little bit more open than
76
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.719
it used to be. You said it felt more like
77
00:03:38.780 --> 00:03:42.199
a full team, that it wasn't offense versus defense necessarily.
78
00:03:42.219 --> 00:03:46.030
Are we seeing that manifest itself with that complementary football
79
00:03:46.050 --> 00:03:46.689
you're talking about?
80
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.879
Yeah, for sure. I mean, even talking at halftime, you know,
81
00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:54.000
we never want to go in there with zero points.
82
00:03:54.099 --> 00:03:57.620
But just the supportiveness of the defense, the things that
83
00:03:57.659 --> 00:03:59.590
was being said, there was no negative going on in
84
00:03:59.610 --> 00:04:03.030
the locker room. There was no panic going on, you know.
85
00:04:03.729 --> 00:04:05.830
And those guys just came up to me. They said, Devin,
86
00:04:05.889 --> 00:04:08.490
just continue to lead and continue to be you. You know,
87
00:04:08.509 --> 00:04:12.819
we believe in you. And just honestly, all the positives
88
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.529
that was going on during halftime, definitely speaks value on
89
00:04:16.769 --> 00:04:19.009
the confidence that our offense was able to come out
90
00:04:19.209 --> 00:04:23.139
again and not feel the pressure of, you know, our
91
00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:26.730
defense thinks we're lacking too. Like we're all in this together.
92
00:04:28.490 --> 00:04:30.550
It was a slow start and you guys have been
93
00:04:30.769 --> 00:04:34.670
just red hot starters all year long. It was the
94
00:04:34.750 --> 00:04:37.449
first drive, the first opening possession that you have not
95
00:04:37.529 --> 00:04:41.910
scored a touchdown on in this 2026 season. You were
96
00:04:41.949 --> 00:04:44.509
six for six going into this game. Houston was able
97
00:04:44.550 --> 00:04:47.470
to get off the field and, you know, no points
98
00:04:47.509 --> 00:04:49.170
in the first, no points in the second, as you
99
00:04:49.189 --> 00:04:54.589
already alluded to when it's not. going smoothly offensively, what
100
00:04:54.610 --> 00:04:57.569
are the conversations like even before halftime, right? You come
101
00:04:57.670 --> 00:05:00.699
off after that first drive where every other game you've
102
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:01.819
scored a touchdown, that one.
103
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:02.379
You get nothing.
104
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.920
Do you go and regroup? Do you even have to
105
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.879
think about it? Give me a sense of as the
106
00:05:06.899 --> 00:05:10.060
game is unfolding, and it's not unfolding with the hot
107
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.850
start you're used to, what that conversation on the sideline
108
00:05:12.889 --> 00:05:13.110
is like.
109
00:05:15.259 --> 00:05:17.180
Yeah, you know, I think there was a big difference
110
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:22.579
in our third down conversions coming from the first half
111
00:05:22.610 --> 00:05:25.250
to the second half. I think Houston, you know, they
112
00:05:25.269 --> 00:05:27.629
did a great job. I think they also brought in
113
00:05:27.670 --> 00:05:31.290
some new stuff that we haven't seen them do against
114
00:05:31.329 --> 00:05:34.529
other defenses leading up to that game. So there's just
115
00:05:34.649 --> 00:05:37.290
a couple of adjustments we made at halftime to be
116
00:05:37.310 --> 00:05:40.769
able to come back out. But I mean, yeah, I
117
00:05:40.790 --> 00:05:43.850
think the conversations on the sidelines, you know, we just
118
00:05:43.889 --> 00:05:46.350
need one. We just, we gotta find, we gotta find
119
00:05:46.410 --> 00:05:49.629
our way to get, get that one touchdown. And, you know,
120
00:05:49.769 --> 00:05:51.310
after that, we, you know, we started to kind of
121
00:05:51.329 --> 00:05:53.959
get rid of them. We shot the role. So just
122
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:55.980
kind of trying to find that way to, you know,
123
00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:58.819
put those points on the board. And normally we, we
124
00:05:58.860 --> 00:05:59.519
roll after that.
125
00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:02.620
And you found a way in the third quarter and
126
00:06:02.740 --> 00:06:05.379
I'm not taking credit away from anyone else on the team,
127
00:06:05.459 --> 00:06:08.759
because I know it's always a team effort, but that drive,
128
00:06:08.779 --> 00:06:11.660
that scoring drive felt like there was a lot of
129
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.519
Devin Dampier being like, all right, I'm going to make
130
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.620
this happen for my team. And I know you always
131
00:06:16.660 --> 00:06:20.459
have that mentality, but tell me what you were seeing.
132
00:06:20.730 --> 00:06:23.670
Tell me if there was a difference between the first
133
00:06:23.689 --> 00:06:26.209
and the second half. I mean, you took off running
134
00:06:26.250 --> 00:06:28.910
on a lot of plays, took what the defense gave you,
135
00:06:28.970 --> 00:06:32.370
still hit some dinks, some dunks. That drive, that scoring drive,
136
00:06:32.410 --> 00:06:34.889
felt like a lot of Devin Dampier. Was that by design?
137
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.240
Yeah. You know, I think, you know, I think I've,
138
00:06:39.459 --> 00:06:41.639
I've been a quarterback this year. That's tried to play
139
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.970
inside the offense, tried to play inside the pocket, just
140
00:06:44.569 --> 00:06:48.509
being able to stay healthy and things like that. But yeah,
141
00:06:48.589 --> 00:06:51.810
I just, I have a competitive spirit and when that
142
00:06:51.850 --> 00:06:54.420
kicks in, you know, I, I turn it, I turn
143
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.120
it on and I do what I got to do
144
00:06:57.180 --> 00:06:59.660
at that, at that time. And at that time I
145
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.990
felt like running the ball was pretty successful and And
146
00:07:03.329 --> 00:07:04.430
just kept, just kept going.
147
00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:06.029
Did it feel good, right?
148
00:07:06.069 --> 00:07:09.050
Cause some people might've forgot, you know, I, I go
149
00:07:09.089 --> 00:07:13.060
back to watching your New Mexico film and obviously before you,
150
00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:15.779
you started to feel those injuries pile up last year,
151
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.720
you really made a lot of people miss running the
152
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:20.759
ball and you're, you're really good on your feet.
153
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:22.160
And I don't know if.
154
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:26.060
Everyone that watches Utah football remembered that. Did it feel
155
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.170
good to have that element of your game back in,
156
00:07:29.310 --> 00:07:30.209
back in the toolbox?
157
00:07:30.230 --> 00:07:30.370
Yeah.
158
00:07:32.050 --> 00:07:34.370
Yeah, it was kind of funny just hearing my teammates
159
00:07:34.449 --> 00:07:37.149
and fans and stuff just like, man, we forgot you
160
00:07:37.189 --> 00:07:39.970
could run like that. So it was kind of funny
161
00:07:40.129 --> 00:07:43.990
to just hear that. But yeah, I think, again, I
162
00:07:44.129 --> 00:07:45.889
think I was able to run like that because of
163
00:07:45.949 --> 00:07:50.350
how healthy I'm feeling in a week seven game. So
164
00:07:51.550 --> 00:07:53.029
just the way I've been coached, the way I've been
165
00:07:53.269 --> 00:07:57.439
playing just allowed me to be healthy throughout the season
166
00:07:57.500 --> 00:07:59.879
for a longer time than obviously last year.
167
00:07:59.899 --> 00:08:01.060
All right.
168
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:02.730
I got to do this. You know, I got to
169
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.290
do this. Tell me, tell me what you saw on
170
00:08:05.310 --> 00:08:06.209
the two interceptions.
171
00:08:06.230 --> 00:08:09.730
172
00:08:09.730 --> 00:08:10.939
173
00:08:10.939 --> 00:08:12.170
174
00:08:12.170 --> 00:08:13.379
175
00:08:13.379 --> 00:08:14.610
176
00:08:14.610 --> 00:08:15.819
177
00:08:15.819 --> 00:08:17.050
178
00:08:17.050 --> 00:08:18.269
179
00:08:18.269 --> 00:08:19.490
180
00:08:19.490 --> 00:08:20.720
181
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:21.939
182
00:08:21.939 --> 00:08:23.170
183
00:08:23.170 --> 00:08:24.389
184
00:08:24.389 --> 00:08:25.620
185
00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:26.839
186
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:28.069
187
00:08:28.069 --> 00:08:29.290
188
00:08:29.290 --> 00:08:30.519
189
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:31.740
190
00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:33.259
I don't even know if
191
00:08:33.269 --> 00:08:35.480
there's an explanation that I felt that as soon as
192
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.480
I threw it, I was just like, yeah, I will.
193
00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:40.659
That's when you, you won back for sure.
194
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.840
Speaker 0 1 thing that, and we talked about this
195
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.700
on Monday and you and I have talked about this
196
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:50.200
before there, everyone makes mistakes when you're the quarterback and
197
00:08:50.220 --> 00:08:53.409
you got the ball on every play, right? It's magnified.
198
00:08:53.649 --> 00:08:55.330
All the good stuff you do is magnified. All the
199
00:08:55.350 --> 00:08:58.090
bad stuff you do is magnified. I think one of
200
00:08:58.110 --> 00:09:00.740
the things that separates you And I've said it many
201
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.159
times in many different ways is your ability to forget
202
00:09:05.730 --> 00:09:08.769
is your ability to say, that's not me. I'm going
203
00:09:08.789 --> 00:09:10.309
to go out and I'm going to make the next play.
204
00:09:10.350 --> 00:09:11.610
I'm going to go out and I'm going to execute
205
00:09:11.669 --> 00:09:14.429
next time. And I think that one of the most
206
00:09:14.490 --> 00:09:16.929
important things, and you could correct me if I'm wrong,
207
00:09:17.590 --> 00:09:21.750
is that your teammates trust that also, is that accurate
208
00:09:21.970 --> 00:09:25.049
where like, if there is a mistake made, if it's a,
209
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.009
and it's not only you, but like when somebody on
210
00:09:28.049 --> 00:09:32.769
this team misses an assignment, throws a pig, fumbles the ball, whatever,
211
00:09:33.429 --> 00:09:36.870
it feels like there's trust from the coaching staff and
212
00:09:36.909 --> 00:09:39.240
from the rest of the team that he will write
213
00:09:39.269 --> 00:09:39.769
that wrong.
214
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.139
Am I off on assuming that?
215
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.940
Speaker 4 0 No, not at all. I think just
216
00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:51.679
coming from a Maggie and a Gundy Coming from their views,
217
00:09:51.730 --> 00:09:54.889
you know, they love my competitive spirit. They love that
218
00:09:55.470 --> 00:09:57.970
I'm going out there to, you know, not play to lose,
219
00:09:58.029 --> 00:10:01.600
the play, play to win. So, um, they, they love
220
00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:05.259
that mentality. They're, good with my decisions. Um, they let
221
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.240
me know, you know, when I do have those mistakes,
222
00:10:07.259 --> 00:10:11.110
just would have kind of done differently, obviously. And just
223
00:10:11.129 --> 00:10:14.289
from a teammate standpoint, um, I feel like, you know,
224
00:10:14.710 --> 00:10:17.190
I think everybody messes up on the field at some
225
00:10:17.230 --> 00:10:20.830
point and I'm very encouraging to pick them up and,
226
00:10:21.009 --> 00:10:23.250
you know, allow them to know, we, we know who
227
00:10:23.269 --> 00:10:26.070
you are every day. I mean, we practice multiple times
228
00:10:26.149 --> 00:10:28.649
in a week before game day. So, uh, we know
229
00:10:28.669 --> 00:10:32.600
what you're capable of. Um, you know, obviously mine get
230
00:10:32.620 --> 00:10:35.220
a little bit more attention at, at times, just cause
231
00:10:36.019 --> 00:10:39.509
my mistakes can, can rather have us have the ball
232
00:10:39.529 --> 00:10:42.090
or them have the ball. So, but I think our
233
00:10:42.169 --> 00:10:45.429
team just understands everyone makes them and they know my
234
00:10:45.909 --> 00:10:47.529
competitive spirit. I'm going to bounce back.
235
00:10:47.549 --> 00:10:48.809
Speaker 0 7, Devin damp.
236
00:10:48.830 --> 00:10:50.509
Here's our guest issue with dev is brought to you
237
00:10:50.529 --> 00:10:53.909
by Culligan water of salt lake city, America first credit union.
238
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.110
Valley blubbing, heating, and cooling. We do it every week
239
00:10:57.629 --> 00:11:00.450
on the Sean O'Connell show. So, I mean, this was
240
00:11:00.509 --> 00:11:03.370
a tight game and you guys have, you guys have
241
00:11:03.389 --> 00:11:06.549
a one point lead and the ball goes back to
242
00:11:06.570 --> 00:11:10.039
Houston and touch back. They're about to start. There's a
243
00:11:10.059 --> 00:11:12.899
little over two minutes left. There's a two minute timeout coming.
244
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.240
I think at that point they still had one time
245
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.720
out of their own to use. And they got an
246
00:11:17.779 --> 00:11:21.250
experienced quarterback, your counterpart on their team. Connor Wegman is
247
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.279
a talented player. Didn't have his best day. your defense
248
00:11:24.299 --> 00:11:27.789
did a great job against him, but what are you
249
00:11:27.870 --> 00:11:30.570
all feeling on the sideline as the defense runs back
250
00:11:30.690 --> 00:11:32.710
out there in that scenario?
251
00:11:32.730 --> 00:11:38.830
Speaker 3 6th and man, I mean, at first, I
252
00:11:38.870 --> 00:11:41.529
think those guys have been playing lights out the whole game. So,
253
00:11:42.210 --> 00:11:44.649
you know, my confidence was there that they're going to
254
00:11:44.690 --> 00:11:46.029
find a way, they're going to find a way to
255
00:11:46.070 --> 00:11:48.389
get a stop for us. And we're going to have
256
00:11:48.409 --> 00:11:51.750
to close this game out. And yeah, again, that was
257
00:11:51.769 --> 00:11:55.460
the thought process. I think when you see Benny make
258
00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:59.830
a play like that, uh, shoot, that was, that was crazy.
259
00:12:00.409 --> 00:12:03.549
I've heard, I've heard right. That goes go out. I, that,
260
00:12:03.649 --> 00:12:06.330
that was one where like, I go, I was able
261
00:12:06.370 --> 00:12:08.639
to see the whole, the whole stadium was kind of
262
00:12:08.659 --> 00:12:12.009
still packed out at fourth quarter, uh, which is, which
263
00:12:12.070 --> 00:12:14.889
is pretty like, that's pretty good for a fan base
264
00:12:14.980 --> 00:12:18.539
to stick around the whole entire game. You know, the
265
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.480
game was close, but just for everybody to be there, yeah,
266
00:12:21.500 --> 00:12:22.039
it got loud.
267
00:12:22.059 --> 00:12:23.000
So there was a voice showed up.
268
00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:24.820
.
269
00:12:24.659 --> 00:12:26.220
270
00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:27.779
271
00:12:27.779 --> 00:12:29.340
272
00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:30.889
273
00:12:30.889 --> 00:12:32.450
274
00:12:32.450 --> 00:12:34.000
275
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.559
276
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.110
277
00:12:37.110 --> 00:12:38.669
278
00:12:38.669 --> 00:12:40.220
279
00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:44.110
things got really loud. Jackson, Benny blitzing,
280
00:12:44.929 --> 00:12:47.970
taken down Wegman ball going out, giant falling on it.
281
00:12:48.009 --> 00:12:50.590
That, that was close. And I don't know if you
282
00:12:50.610 --> 00:12:51.610
saw this, I'm sure you did it.
283
00:12:52.350 --> 00:12:56.470
It got so loud in rice echo stadium that there
284
00:12:56.490 --> 00:12:59.500
was the, you know, they do the, the, the seismic
285
00:12:59.549 --> 00:13:02.399
readings or whatever it registers as a tiny earthquake when
286
00:13:02.419 --> 00:13:03.440
the stadium gets that loud.
287
00:13:03.460 --> 00:13:05.259
288
00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:05.700
289
00:13:05.700 --> 00:13:06.120
290
00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:06.549
291
00:13:06.549 --> 00:13:06.990
292
00:13:06.990 --> 00:13:07.409
293
00:13:07.409 --> 00:13:07.850
294
00:13:07.850 --> 00:13:08.269
295
00:13:08.269 --> 00:13:08.700
296
00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:09.120
297
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:09.549
298
00:13:09.549 --> 00:13:09.970
299
00:13:09.970 --> 00:13:10.399
300
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:10.519
.
301
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.889
So in that scenario, you get the
302
00:13:13.929 --> 00:13:18.870
ball back. You're already in scoring position. And now the
303
00:13:18.950 --> 00:13:21.889
clock is either your friend or your enemy, depending on
304
00:13:21.929 --> 00:13:25.909
what happens in that possession. And of course you scored immediately.
305
00:13:26.629 --> 00:13:29.929
Was there any thought? Was there any conversation? Was there
306
00:13:29.980 --> 00:13:34.059
anyone in your ear saying, Hey, Let's milk this clock
307
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.259
a little bit. Let's, you know, if, if there's green
308
00:13:36.299 --> 00:13:38.919
grass in front of you, maybe get down and use
309
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.179
an extra play or force them to use a timeout
310
00:13:41.580 --> 00:13:42.039
or whatever.
311
00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:42.659
Was there any.
312
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:47.960
Conversation about delaying the scoring, delaying the touchdown in order
313
00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:50.100
to take some clock away from Houston?
314
00:13:52.139 --> 00:13:52.379
Yeah.
315
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.960
Just being on the sideline, you know, it was conversated.
316
00:13:55.980 --> 00:13:57.659
The ball was going to be in my hands, you know,
317
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:02.480
for that kind of drive. And yeah, before we went
318
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:03.860
out there, I went up to coach Gowling and I
319
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.340
was just like, you want me to get, I think we, yeah.
320
00:14:07.860 --> 00:14:10.080
I just asked him, do you want me to score?
321
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:10.600
Yes.
322
00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:13.700
No. And he was like, yeah, score, score the ball.
323
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.950
You get the opportunity. So the opportunity was there on
324
00:14:17.970 --> 00:14:18.919
the first play and I took it.
325
00:14:18.929 --> 00:14:21.149
Speaker 0 7, Was there ever a thought to go
326
00:14:21.210 --> 00:14:23.690
for two there and make it a nine point game?
327
00:14:23.870 --> 00:14:26.350
And at that point, that's kind of completely out of
328
00:14:26.389 --> 00:14:27.789
reach if it's a two position game.
329
00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:32.240
Yeah, you know, I think that conversation would have been
330
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.139
had if our defense wasn't playing as good as they
331
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.080
were when, you know, they were there for a whole
332
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.679
entire game to allow 13 points. You know, you should
333
00:14:42.299 --> 00:14:44.299
have pretty good confidence in those guys that they're going
334
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:46.830
to get the job done. So being up eight, you know,
335
00:14:46.870 --> 00:14:50.250
we were totally good with our defense closing that out.
336
00:14:51.029 --> 00:14:54.149
Yes, the defense did play incredibly well. They gave up
337
00:14:54.149 --> 00:14:57.289
86 yards on the ground to a Houston team that
338
00:14:57.330 --> 00:15:01.490
was averaging 220. You guys were very, very similar statistically
339
00:15:01.570 --> 00:15:03.840
coming into this game. I don't know how much that
340
00:15:03.860 --> 00:15:07.279
was part of the practice and film conversation, but you
341
00:15:07.299 --> 00:15:09.840
score one point per game more than they do. They
342
00:15:09.899 --> 00:15:12.379
rush for like half a yard per game more than
343
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:16.500
Utah does. And in this one, your offense generates 226
344
00:15:16.500 --> 00:15:21.009
yards on the ground. 150 of those belong to Devin
345
00:15:21.029 --> 00:15:25.200
Dampier himself. And then Houston with that potent rushing attack,
346
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:29.080
only able to get 86 yards on the ground. And
347
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.860
obviously that's that complimentary football we're talking about when they
348
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.220
can't implement their actual game plan, which involves a lot
349
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.649
of running, it takes options away and it makes it.
350
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.159
So Connor Wegman has to be a hero and he
351
00:15:40.379 --> 00:15:42.500
just wasn't able to do it because your defense was
352
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:43.059
playing so well.
353
00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:45.379
Yeah.
354
00:15:45.580 --> 00:15:45.840
Yeah.
355
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.490
Again, we knew before going in that, you know, our
356
00:15:48.570 --> 00:15:54.169
offenses were very, yeah, again, statistically similar. So we knew
357
00:15:54.190 --> 00:15:56.929
it was going to become a game where, you know,
358
00:15:57.009 --> 00:15:59.029
especially both of our defenses as well, both of our
359
00:15:59.049 --> 00:16:02.629
defenses were pretty high ranked for third down. So we
360
00:16:02.649 --> 00:16:04.690
knew the game was going to honestly come down to
361
00:16:05.490 --> 00:16:09.340
physicality up front, whose run game was not going to
362
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:13.440
be as effective as the other. And third down, third downs,
363
00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:16.309
who can, who can get, get our offense back on
364
00:16:16.330 --> 00:16:20.190
the field more. And, you know, they gave us those
365
00:16:20.230 --> 00:16:21.210
opportunities for sure.
366
00:16:21.230 --> 00:16:24.070
Speaker 2, Sean, we we've seen this now in a
367
00:16:24.110 --> 00:16:27.769
couple of different games where, you know, he, he is
368
00:16:27.909 --> 00:16:31.470
capable of being a workhorse, being a bell cow back.
369
00:16:32.269 --> 00:16:35.750
And sometimes it just doesn't translate that way. 17 touches
370
00:16:35.789 --> 00:16:39.299
in this game. He did have a beautiful reception taken
371
00:16:39.340 --> 00:16:42.080
away on a penalty that would have added to his
372
00:16:42.139 --> 00:16:45.259
stat line. But as we have talked about before, he
373
00:16:45.299 --> 00:16:48.519
still impacts the game so significantly, even when the ball
374
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:49.759
is not in his hand.
375
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.779
But but he scored the go ahead touchdown.
376
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.809
Right. So it's like this guy, even when he's not
377
00:16:55.950 --> 00:17:00.529
being given 25 touches, a game is still one of
378
00:17:00.549 --> 00:17:02.690
the most valuable pieces in your offense. Just speak, if
379
00:17:02.730 --> 00:17:05.390
you can, to how important way Sean Parker is as
380
00:17:05.470 --> 00:17:07.930
a teammate, as a captain, as a guy that you
381
00:17:07.950 --> 00:17:10.339
can trust when all the chips are down and you
382
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:10.930
got to go score.
383
00:17:13.029 --> 00:17:13.349
Yeah.
384
00:17:13.450 --> 00:17:16.589
I mean, when Sean, he, he's one of those guys,
385
00:17:16.630 --> 00:17:18.849
you know, I, I'm able to give them the check down.
386
00:17:18.890 --> 00:17:21.430
I mean, we got such talented receivers, you know, those,
387
00:17:21.890 --> 00:17:24.539
those guys are, are well respected by the defense. And,
388
00:17:25.619 --> 00:17:27.339
you know, I, I love that. I get to throw
389
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:29.299
the ball. I get to make a two yard pass
390
00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:31.619
and way Sean somehow turns into a 20 yard game.
391
00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:36.019
So he finds a way to make big plays, whether
392
00:17:36.059 --> 00:17:38.779
it's running the ball or, passing the ball, and then
393
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:42.890
just his ability to block, his mentality to block. It's
394
00:17:43.529 --> 00:17:46.930
so different than you see a lot of running backs have.
395
00:17:47.589 --> 00:17:52.609
He takes pride in protecting me. He truly finds it
396
00:17:52.650 --> 00:17:54.490
like a brotherhood, like I'm not going to let you
397
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:59.279
touch my brother. He goes against guys that's 285. Sometimes
398
00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:02.359
it's the 300 guys getting through, and he's willing to
399
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.230
take that hit. and especially in the run run game.
400
00:18:06.339 --> 00:18:08.230
I mean, we give the ball to Bray Bray's falling
401
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:11.279
away and ways putting people on the ground. So there's,
402
00:18:11.299 --> 00:18:15.700
there's so much about ways that besides the touchdowns that
403
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:17.920
you don't see that he's doing a great.
404
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:24.019
Job, Speaker 0 7 0, Utah football team. So we're,
405
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.539
we're getting into details here and I shouldn't ask you
406
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.119
to speak for another man, but I know you guys
407
00:18:29.180 --> 00:18:33.589
are close bird. Ficklin, not a huge part of what
408
00:18:33.650 --> 00:18:36.390
ended up happening in this game. I think he ended
409
00:18:36.450 --> 00:18:41.650
up with one touch officially. How's he handling that? I
410
00:18:41.690 --> 00:18:44.599
know that this is all team, and as long as
411
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.960
you come out with the win, everybody's happy, but he's
412
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:50.319
a competitor as well, and I'm sure he wants more.
413
00:18:51.089 --> 00:18:52.309
How's it working with Bird right now?
414
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.890
Yeah, again, as a competitor, you always want to feel
415
00:18:56.910 --> 00:19:00.490
like you're contributing. And, you know, and that was something
416
00:19:00.509 --> 00:19:03.009
that was talked about the day after when we're all together. Just,
417
00:19:03.509 --> 00:19:04.910
you know, we want to find ways to get you
418
00:19:04.950 --> 00:19:07.670
on the field, no doubt. Like, that's not a secret.
419
00:19:08.569 --> 00:19:10.869
We want Bird on the field. And, you know, just
420
00:19:11.329 --> 00:19:15.170
the way that game went, the things I was working
421
00:19:15.230 --> 00:19:19.009
was kind of just drop back pass, having receivers spread out,
422
00:19:19.549 --> 00:19:21.849
allowing me to be able to run, take run lanes
423
00:19:21.890 --> 00:19:25.880
when it was there. and yeah, just the way the
424
00:19:25.900 --> 00:19:28.039
game went. And, you know, at the end of the day,
425
00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:31.569
whatever makes us want to know that week, I feel
426
00:19:31.589 --> 00:19:36.130
like everyone finds that as a win, regardless of how little,
427
00:19:36.170 --> 00:19:40.829
how big their contribution was. Speaker 0 7.
428
00:19:40.829 --> 00:19:41.049
All right.
429
00:19:41.069 --> 00:19:43.630
Now it's on to Cincinnati or Cincinnati team that is
430
00:19:43.670 --> 00:19:46.930
coming off a huge win. They beat Texas tech last weekend.
431
00:19:47.890 --> 00:19:49.849
I know you're all very aware of that. This team
432
00:19:49.930 --> 00:19:54.410
can run the ball super effectively defensively. Tell me what
433
00:19:54.430 --> 00:19:56.069
you're seeing from the Cincinnati defense.
434
00:19:58.549 --> 00:20:01.329
Yeah. I think they're, they're a solid group. They can,
435
00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:04.279
I think they have their moments where, you know, they
436
00:20:04.299 --> 00:20:07.980
do play really well. And I think there's opportunities for
437
00:20:08.019 --> 00:20:11.859
you to also take advantage of their defense as well.
438
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.269
But man, I think, you know, the biggest question of
439
00:20:16.309 --> 00:20:18.960
the week going into this game is, you know, they
440
00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:21.089
just came off a big win. So did us. So
441
00:20:21.549 --> 00:20:23.369
I just feel like the biggest thing is who can
442
00:20:23.390 --> 00:20:27.890
be more level-headed by game time, who can get over,
443
00:20:27.930 --> 00:20:31.410
you know, their win faster and start really blocking in
444
00:20:31.450 --> 00:20:33.930
on getting another win. So I think that's just the
445
00:20:33.970 --> 00:20:35.670
biggest mentality going into this week.
446
00:20:38.049 --> 00:20:41.079
Tell me the specifics of how you as a leader,
447
00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:44.740
as a captain manage that, because we're to a point
448
00:20:44.779 --> 00:20:49.759
now in college football where everybody recognizes these danger spots, right?
449
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:52.799
We recognized it last week with BYU beats Notre Dame.
450
00:20:52.900 --> 00:20:55.200
Oh, watch out for UCF. You can't let down in
451
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.690
that game. We knew it. BYU knew it still. They
452
00:20:58.730 --> 00:20:59.430
couldn't avoid it.
453
00:21:00.150 --> 00:21:03.150
So when you're aware of it, how do you actually
454
00:21:03.210 --> 00:21:05.390
approach making sure you don't fall into that trap?
455
00:21:05.410 --> 00:21:05.609
Devin?
456
00:21:07.569 --> 00:21:11.640
Yeah, I think, you know, for me personally, I mean, just,
457
00:21:11.900 --> 00:21:15.619
just being a quarterback, you know, my, my ability to
458
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.779
be better than next week, every single week is at
459
00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:22.119
a pretty high level. I always want to find a
460
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:24.700
way to be the best Devin I can be every
461
00:21:24.740 --> 00:21:27.519
single week. And just the way Scali preaches it to
462
00:21:27.539 --> 00:21:30.230
our team, you know, we, we set, we celebrate for
463
00:21:30.250 --> 00:21:33.670
our two days for sure. And then after that, you know,
464
00:21:33.710 --> 00:21:38.650
it is onto the next it's, it's find the ways
465
00:21:38.730 --> 00:21:41.190
to also learn from our past game. And I think
466
00:21:41.210 --> 00:21:44.329
that's the biggest thing is when we get, when we
467
00:21:44.349 --> 00:21:47.250
meet up, you know, we can hear our defense being like, bro,
468
00:21:47.269 --> 00:21:49.950
we would have did like three different things. If we
469
00:21:49.970 --> 00:21:51.730
would have did something different on three different plays, they
470
00:21:51.750 --> 00:21:54.349
probably wouldn't have scored at all. Or you hear the
471
00:21:54.410 --> 00:21:57.009
offense like, bro, we could have put up two more
472
00:21:57.049 --> 00:22:00.660
touchdowns if we just executed this right. So just to
473
00:22:00.730 --> 00:22:03.779
hear that, you know, we're winning games and we're learning,
474
00:22:03.819 --> 00:22:06.690
we're learning, we're, still have that eager to be better
475
00:22:06.710 --> 00:22:08.519
than the next week. I think that's, what's keeping us
476
00:22:08.539 --> 00:22:11.240
consistent every week on, you know, respecting our opponent.
477
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.619
My understanding is that the travel is a little bit
478
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.099
different because you're going so far.
479
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:19.619
Are you leaving a little bit earlier?
480
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:22.019
Yep.
481
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.009
Yep. Just, we leave earlier Friday to get out there
482
00:22:26.069 --> 00:22:30.109
and just adjust time-wise and just a little bit of,
483
00:22:30.130 --> 00:22:34.150
I guess, sleep schedule. We're getting that right as well.
484
00:22:36.589 --> 00:22:39.049
It'll be, we've had a lot of conversations.
485
00:22:39.069 --> 00:22:42.059
The fan base had a lot of conversations about the
486
00:22:42.210 --> 00:22:46.220
proliferation of night games and we love rice Eccles at night.
487
00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:49.559
That blackout was incredible. The atmosphere was phenomenal. As we
488
00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:53.900
have already discussed, this one is a day game. So
489
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.599
can it be a little bit different? How do you
490
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:01.319
personally make those adjustments on game day when it's, you know,
491
00:23:01.829 --> 00:23:03.750
breakfast and then you got to get ready to play
492
00:23:03.789 --> 00:23:05.349
or it's breakfast and lunch and you got to get
493
00:23:05.390 --> 00:23:07.450
ready to play, or you get to watch games all
494
00:23:07.470 --> 00:23:09.329
day and wait around because it's a night game.
495
00:23:10.069 --> 00:23:10.730
How do you adjust?
496
00:23:13.009 --> 00:23:14.019
497
00:23:14.019 --> 00:23:14.869
498
00:23:14.869 --> 00:23:15.710
499
00:23:15.710 --> 00:23:16.569
500
00:23:16.569 --> 00:23:17.589
.
501
00:23:17.500 --> 00:23:18.349
502
00:23:18.349 --> 00:23:19.200
503
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:20.049
504
00:23:20.049 --> 00:23:20.900
505
00:23:20.900 --> 00:23:21.750
506
00:23:21.750 --> 00:23:22.599
507
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:23.450
508
00:23:23.450 --> 00:23:24.299
509
00:23:24.299 --> 00:23:25.150
510
00:23:25.150 --> 00:23:26.000
511
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:26.839
512
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:27.690
513
00:23:27.690 --> 00:23:29.329
Even other teams going from
514
00:23:29.369 --> 00:23:33.210
a 10 a.m. game to a night game, you don't
515
00:23:33.250 --> 00:23:35.609
need your body to be awake at 10 a.m. You
516
00:23:35.630 --> 00:23:40.079
want to keep your body rested. When your game is
517
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:43.660
at 1 o'clock, you want to make sure that your
518
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:46.259
body is awake at that time. You're ready to go.
519
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:50.039
There's a little bit of difference, but I just think
520
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:52.759
the two days before, if you prep yourself the right
521
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.380
way and let your body feel the way it should,
522
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:56.809
then you'll be all right.
523
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:01.039
524
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:02.150
525
00:24:02.150 --> 00:24:03.920
526
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:05.599
527
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:06.849
528
00:24:06.849 --> 00:24:29.910
doesn't matter to me, but how
529
00:24:29.930 --> 00:24:31.509
do you feel about a 10 a.m.
530
00:24:31.549 --> 00:24:32.329
Holy war kickoff?
531
00:24:32.349 --> 00:24:36.000
532
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:37.069
533
00:24:37.069 --> 00:24:38.130
534
00:24:38.130 --> 00:24:39.190
535
00:24:39.190 --> 00:24:40.259
536
00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:41.329
537
00:24:41.329 --> 00:24:42.390
538
00:24:42.390 --> 00:24:43.450
539
00:24:43.450 --> 00:24:44.519
540
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:45.589
541
00:24:45.589 --> 00:24:46.650
542
00:24:46.650 --> 00:24:47.710
543
00:24:47.710 --> 00:24:48.779
544
00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:49.849
545
00:24:49.849 --> 00:24:50.910
546
00:24:50.910 --> 00:24:51.970
547
00:24:51.970 --> 00:24:53.039
548
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:54.109
549
00:24:54.109 --> 00:24:55.170
550
00:24:55.170 --> 00:24:56.230
551
00:24:56.230 --> 00:24:58.259
But I mean, yeah, again, at the end of
552
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:00.779
the day, you know, we're, we're football players or we're
553
00:25:00.819 --> 00:25:04.130
just ready to get out there and play in any environment.
554
00:25:04.150 --> 00:25:07.890
Speaker 0 1, there's been a lot of conversation around
555
00:25:07.910 --> 00:25:12.869
the university of Utah and Pat McAfee and all of
556
00:25:12.910 --> 00:25:16.730
that stuff is 1000% unrelated to anything you guys are doing.
557
00:25:16.890 --> 00:25:20.210
And if anything, it's a distraction from what you are doing.
558
00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:22.400
What, what are your thoughts?
559
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.009
If you have any, what, like, is it something that's
560
00:25:25.069 --> 00:25:26.549
being talked about in the locker room?
561
00:25:29.049 --> 00:25:31.430
Not, not on a serious manner. I think, you know,
562
00:25:31.450 --> 00:25:34.329
people brought it up. It's, it's something that's going on
563
00:25:34.369 --> 00:25:36.130
around our school. Like we hear about it.
564
00:25:37.990 --> 00:25:38.210
Yeah.
565
00:25:38.289 --> 00:25:41.289
I mean, I, I don't really understand. I don't really
566
00:25:41.329 --> 00:25:44.210
know the situation enough to really speak on it fully.
567
00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:49.339
You know, I hope he, I hope Pat doesn't truly
568
00:25:49.380 --> 00:25:52.380
feel that way. I hope like, I mean, I don't know.
569
00:25:52.460 --> 00:25:56.349
It sounds like a, he did feel that way. So
570
00:25:56.450 --> 00:25:57.529
I don't know. I don't know.
571
00:25:57.549 --> 00:26:01.829
572
00:26:01.829 --> 00:26:05.440
573
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:09.069
574
00:26:09.069 --> 00:26:12.690
575
00:26:12.690 --> 00:26:15.230
.
576
00:26:14.869 --> 00:26:18.490
577
00:26:18.490 --> 00:26:20.680
.
578
00:26:20.309 --> 00:26:23.059
How many times have
579
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:24.240
you been to Cincinnati before?
580
00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:31.109
I want it. Isn't it? Isn't it? See your point
581
00:26:31.150 --> 00:26:36.250
out there. The, the, the, I wanted the theme park
582
00:26:36.289 --> 00:26:37.109
amusement park.
583
00:26:37.190 --> 00:26:37.569
Yeah.
584
00:26:38.490 --> 00:26:41.779
I went out there with my family once and just
585
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:44.339
to go to amusement park, me and my, me and
586
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:47.329
my cousins, but I was only like, seven years old
587
00:26:47.369 --> 00:26:50.549
at that time. So I've been out there once for
588
00:26:50.569 --> 00:26:53.220
a little bit, so I don't really remember. So this
589
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:55.079
kind of, I'll say this is like my first time
590
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:57.420
really getting that experience.
591
00:26:57.660 --> 00:26:58.079
All right.
592
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:02.880
No theme parks, go get a win. And man, this
593
00:27:02.940 --> 00:27:05.160
is a big week for the, all the obvious reasons.
594
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:08.220
And I very much look forward to our conversation next
595
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:08.920
week as well.
596
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:09.519
Stay healthy.
597
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:09.799
Dev.
598
00:27:09.819 --> 00:27:10.480
We'll chat soon.
599
00:27:11.809 --> 00:27:12.230
All right.
600
00:27:12.250 --> 00:27:12.569
Appreciate you.
