Starting point is 00:00:00 Big 12 football tougher than a long weekend at your in-laws. This is the squad show that has a really long intro and Duke Stadium is in it. You're talking ball with the Big 12 squad from Oklahoma State to Utah, from Kansas State to BYU, from Houston to Texas Tech. It's the local experts of the Lockdown Podcast Network bringing you scoops, breakdowns, and the most comprehensive preview of the upcoming Big 12 weekend. Buckle up. It's the Big 12 Squad, and we have a seat for you. Know her feelings and thin skin aloud.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Squad up. You're part of the Big 12 Squad. Happy Thursday, everybody. Welcome to the Big 12 Squad. That's Cody Stovall. He does Oklahoma State stuff. Jake Hatch of Locked On BYU Cougars. Richard Bradshaw of Locked On Sun Devils.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Mountaineer Paul of Locked On West Virginia. JT Westersell of Locked On Utes is wearing a Christmas hat already. It is November. You are getting coal. Thank you for making our shows your first. Listen, every single day, every week in the Big 12 Squad, we'll run down the entire Big 12. Something, something about grab a drink or two or six,
Starting point is 00:01:01 all of us already have except for Hatch. He covers BYU. And let's get into it. Speaking of BYU, you know, I went to Baylor. I went to Baylor, Jake. And we got one hell per semester. It was the closest we could get to swearing. So I'm going to utilize mine here.
Starting point is 00:01:19 What the hell was that? Well, BYU's offense decided they couldn't score anymore. That's the biggest thing about this. They made five trips. Who's the offensive coordinator? His name would be Aaron Roderick. Still? No kidding, huh? Uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:33 So, yeah, they made four trips inside the red zone and came with a grand total of six points. So, yeah, that should pretty much sum it up as to what exactly happened Saturday night against Kansas. Jake, were you more frustrated when they threw short of the six on fourth down or the third down, running the option and play instead? Running the option on third down, running to the boundary side with those numbers there, because here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Try and turn the corner. You had a false start on that fourth and sixth to push you to fourth and 11. When you have fourth and 11 in that circumstance, it's all she wrote essentially at that point. But, yeah, running the speed option to the boundary side side byu's had success with it this year but if you re-watch the game film uh the numbers said do not run to that side of the field aaron roderick said as much earlier this week as well yeah i think my problem right now jake is that if i'm anybody in the big 12 at the top of the big 12 the hottest teams in the big 12 and this would feature a
Starting point is 00:02:23 kansas who's playing really good football right now i just i wonder why you're scared of byu the last three out of four games have just looked kind of porous and i get the byu is still they have the best record of anybody in the conference but is there any confidence that you can crazy we're asking this that you can beat richie's arizona state team week. Who's wound up in the top 20 now? Well, here's the thing. Arizona State goes as Cam Scadaboo goes. And just ask Kansas how running against BYU was last week. They held 73 rushing yards with Devin Neal and Daniel Hyshaw Jr.
Starting point is 00:02:56 So if BYU can shut down Scadaboo this week, that'll give them a fighting chance. But you're right. They shouldn't be afraid because BYU's offense all of a sudden has proven to be pretty punchless with three offensive touchdowns in their past 26 possessions yes speaking of punchless the entire oklahoma state football team uh cody who got fired this week uh nobody but mike gundy had a press conference and ironically enough shout out to you jake he told the refs before byYU to wake him up and act like I care.
Starting point is 00:03:27 That is the sound bite of the week from Mike Gundy. And you know what? It's good for content. I don't know that it's good for Oklahoma State or morale or the locker room or recruiting, but it's good for content. And we work in the content sphere. Cody, why has no one been fired yet? I mean, Gundy has a propensity to hang on to his buddies, right?
Starting point is 00:03:53 That's why we've got guys that have been there for 12 years. Hey, BYU and Oklahoma State, they're friends. Let's go. Well, same with Utah. I mean, I think Utah was the only team in the country that has more tenured coaches that have been there longer than a decade, so on and so forth. So Oklahoma State and Utah, and to some degree, BYU even. I don't know. West Virginia.
Starting point is 00:04:10 It is perplexing, to say the least. But I've lost hope. I've lost hope. Except for we get Reckham Tech this week, which means Alan Bowman's going to play inspired, buddy. Yeah, he is. And if you win, at least you get to win uh not much left the dusty alan bowman bowl victory that's right was that brandon weed or alan bowman same age same age um the idea that richie bradshaw's team
Starting point is 00:04:42 is is here in that 21 MS bug is crazy, but they're very good and have a legitimate shot to beat BYU. They're the favorites this week. We're going to get to him in a second. Mountaineer Paul, I heard that your head coach is going to UMass. Neil Brown, the next head coach of the UMass Minutemen. Is there anything to that? There is.
Starting point is 00:05:04 There actually is. It would take – Why. It would take – Why? It would take – well, here's the thing. Only West Virginia would have two coaches in a row move down, right? Dana Holgerson leaves West Virginia for Houston, and possibly Neil Brown leaves West Virginia for UMass. Public pressure is mounting on Neil Brown.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Six years, no top 25 in any of the six years. He's never beat a team that's finished in the top 25. 3-18 versus the top 25. I could go on and on about just how horrible he's been. And the buyout is the reason we're told that he may still stick around. And although I can't root for it, a loss against UCF this week would probably put the nail in the coffin. And most people think amicably what people would like to see is maybe he resigns and goes to his alma mater, which is UMass. He and his wife have donated a football facility there. He played there. So he's close to that program. They hired Frank Martin, made a big splash in basketball a couple years ago.
Starting point is 00:06:01 So they've shown the propensity to go out and do this kind of stuff. Could they afford the entire buyout? I don't know, but I do think they could reach some kind of an agreement. And I do have a source there at UMass that told me that there's legs to it from the UMass side. Now, West Virginia controls the narrative because if they do nothing, then nothing happens. I would hope that if they control the narrative, they would want to somehow make a very amicable agreement to get Neil Brown.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Yeah, please show us you care about football. Please. And this is something I talked about on the show this week with Locked On Big 12. West Virginia is a proud damn state. We've got one damn per semester as well, Jake. I'm going to use it right now. It is a state that wants to win a football game. It's a blue-collar place. I grew up grew up in volonia arkansas we rooted for football there
Starting point is 00:06:48 was one thing we had it was football on the weekends west virginia is supposed to have that neil brown hasn't given you that uh jt west or still i i you know what let's go let's go to you in the santa hat before we go to richie bradshaw in the middle of the segment open things off who's been so well you know i did it i did i thought chris would be on he was all anti-chris is in november then chris doesn't even come on for it it was chris said he's gonna be here in like 10 minutes everything see i'm you know i'm obviously part of utah everything utah has set out to accomplish before they go out and execute it just doesn't come to fruition this year i guess yeah you could still go to a bowl game how fun is that it's hope is alive. Will you even come close to sniffing the jockstrap of Iowa State this week?
Starting point is 00:07:29 Maybe? I think we could potentially do it. One thing that gives you a little bit of hope is, right, look, Utah sucks at throwing the ball right now, right? Who gives you hope? No, a little bit. I have a little bit of hope. Just a little sliver. Just a little sliver.
Starting point is 00:07:43 A little itty-bitty sliver of hope. If you look at this Iowa State team, the one thing that actually leaves me really encouraged is the disparity of their run and pass defense is outlandish. I mean, have you guys seen their – they're one of the best teams at defending the pass, and their run defense ranks outside the top 100 in the world per game. That's wild that this Iowa State team has that big of a disparity. So I'm feeling at least okay.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Like, yes, they'll probably pack the box, but Utah just wants to run the ball anyway. So that gives me a little bit of hope there, the Rice-Eccles Stadium crowd. Jake, I'm trying to talk myself into some hope. I do not appreciate the looks that you are giving me, sir. You just lost as well. I will remind you as well. Don't take away my hope and my Christmas hat.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Jalen Glover, your backup running back already left said program. Okay, it was Mike Mitchell was more the backup this year. There it is. What I want to know, JT, before we get to that middle segment, is I'm looking right now at teams that have run the football more often than they've thrown, at teams that they're running at the frequency at which they run the ball. Utah is 92nd in the country.
Starting point is 00:08:45 They run the ball 49% of the time. Why, when you have zero Division I Power 5 ready quarterbacks, Power 4 ready quarterbacks on roster right now, would that number be where it is? I think as of lately, it's due to the struggles of the offensive line. I mean, Utah's coming off their worst performance on the ground against Colorado, and give the Buffs a ton of credit. They did a great job winning one on one up front. There was no rushing lanes to go to and Utah was consistently in third and long.
Starting point is 00:09:12 I, yeah, I think it's unfortunately that Utah has just struggled to run the ball as of late. That's why you're hoping that the Iowa state matchup is at least a little more favorable for Utah because what they've been doing a lot of is trying to get some quick wide receiver screens to generate something. And those such so many times rarely even hit so it's I mean it's tough for this Utah offense it really is what's weird is I actually thought Isaac Wilson had some of his best moments as a Utah quarterback last game but then he has a miss in the middle of the field and it was one of those missed throws where there was no one else in the picture and makes you pull your hair out and then he had the awful interception drifting the sideline so this season has obviously gone awful for utah but look it's senior night in
Starting point is 00:09:49 rice eccles stadium could be kyle winningham's final home game ever as utah's coach so i'm you know i'm praying for a christmas miracle this early in the season uh coming up let's talk to the arizona state expert about how the sun devils are going to win the Big 12.

Starting point is 00:11:46 Fanduel is your place to go to win money alongside me every day. And it's the Arizona State expert, Spencer McLaughlin. I was wondering who he was. Hey, hey, hey. That's that guy. I should have known. That's that guy. I will settle for a second, though.
Starting point is 00:12:02 We can be like a running back tandem. You're like 1A, 1B, play the hot hand i will i will accept that spencer you uh we'll lead off with richie you guys tag team richie arizona state's going to win the big 12 is that a true statement it's it it is a statement that we are making in november of 2020 it's one of the statements of all time, no doubt. It is. But they've got a chance. And I know that the tiebreakers are super-duper weird. Like, Iowa State has a chance if a few things happen. But I think ASU's path is a little more clear than the Cyclones is. And part of that is taking down BYU.
Starting point is 00:12:40 When it's senior day, when it's homecoming, there's a lot of stuff that's going on this weekend. The game is already sold out. Which, a big part of that's going to be BYU when it's senior day, when it's homecoming, it, there's a lot of stuff that's going on this weekend. The game is already sold out, which a big part of that's going to be BYU as well. Cause there's a pig Mormon population in, uh, in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Richie, I think you should pronounce your P's and B's a little bit better because boy, I heard it's a pig Mormon population when you said that. and I don't think that's what you were going for. Whoa. No.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Flag on the play. I'm saying that that's not what you said, but that's what I heard, and I don't think I'm going to be the only one. Very clear. Spencer, you're the guy that talks about college football sometimes. Gosh, tell me you don't want to talk to me without telling me. You don't want to talk to me. Drake. What do you think about the big 12? What do I think about the big 12? It's every bit as fun as I hoped it would be before the season. I thought it'd be the most interesting conference title race. The secs may be overtaking them, but like this was the one I was watching before the
Starting point is 00:13:42 year because I went into it believing, I think there are about seven teams that can win the conference championship and I didn't even list Arizona State and none of those seven are in the conversation right now yeah yeah and none of I was talking with uh Max Chadwick a pro football focus the other day and he was like hey uh nice job telling me I was wrong on Arizona making the big 12 title game I'm like yeah I can jump around in circles in a celebratory fashion because of who I picked in the Big 12 title game. I'm like, yeah, I can jump around in circles in a celebratory fashion because of who I picked in the Big 12 championship game. Utah out here with a Christmas hat. We don't have to mention it.
Starting point is 00:14:11 I hope you put coal in that stocking for what you have done this year. I mean, my goodness, it's just been an abomination. And then there's Kansas, who is good but bad. Utah against who? Who was the other team you had? Kansas. Who, by the way, as Jay Kach of Lockdown BYU can attest, is a good football team with a bad record.
Starting point is 00:14:34 The two highest teams in the league right now are 4-6, aren't they? Baylor and Kansas. Kansas is 6-4, aren't they? Somehow. It's a miracle. Extend the coach. Six miracle. Extend the coach. Six wins. Extend the coach.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Come on, guys. Six wins. Yeah, let's run it back. Mountaineer Paul, how does it go when a coach overperforms expectations going into a season when he thought he'd be fired? Oh, man. But, Spencer, they're going to hire Nick Saban, okay? I have been told by reliable sources that that is indeed in the works.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Neil Brown's going to UMass. Nick Saban's going to West Virginia. And a kid's going to make a $400,000 kick on college game day and all is right in the world. Kick of the year last week. In my mailbag, I had three separate questions about Pat McAfee. Pat McAfee. Maybe we can pull a D on it, virginia and hire pat that would be wow
Starting point is 00:15:27 oh wait you had questions about pat mcafee the coach is boston connor the offensive coordinator coach mack and is he gonna be is he gonna be hosting his show mid days while he is right he's gonna leave his 40 million dollar job like hey on now. Can we have random cuts to A.J. Hawks just blank face after every play too? Yes. Minister of Culture. We couldn't get Parker Ainsworth of Locked on Cougs this week after his 23-3 throttling. The team, they just make no sense whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:16:00 So we send in this video. Parker, what do you have for us? Big 12 squad. It's Parker Ainsworth back again. Can't be there in person to record with you guys live. Got to go do the whole teaching and coaching thing, but I am brought to you and powered by stay in the band five hour energy. And I'm enjoying the energy. It brings me. I want to talk to you guys about pies because a, I think it's funny. You guys think I'm only going to talk about food during Thanksgiving week and B sour, sour cream, lemon pie, or whatever on earth. What?
Starting point is 00:16:28 What? What just happened? No, we're not going to watch that entire thing. It's not Thanksgiving week, first off. It's not even Thanksgiving. I don't vet these videos. That's just trust, Parker, that I can hit play. Why is it a 20-minute long video?
Starting point is 00:16:40 I don't know. Why the long feed-in? We talk about brevity the company's like you know what here's here's a shameless ad he does it every time he's consistent yes um it is the stand the fan though which you can get at fivehourenergy.com there's still four more pies to come the only number five was up there yeah there was still four more to go any more of that i can i can bear none of it and the good the good news is he apparently is on Blue Sky. I don't know if you guys noticed.
Starting point is 00:17:08 He added his new social media handle. Oh, no. Oh, no. He sent in three total videos. Let's see the first 15. So what did he say in this? Big 12 squad. Parker Angelos, a lockdown coob.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Doing a little teaching. This is great. Design guy. Did he add that in there? Why? Big 12 squad. Parker Andrews, host of Locked on Cougs. Doing a little teaching and coaching thing.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Can't make it out to live tonight with you guys to record, but brought to you by Stan the Fan. No way. It's just the same thing. He thought there was no way we play multiple of these videos, so he recorded the same. No way. It's just the same thing. He thought there was no way we play multiple of the same intro for everyone. By the way, what does he have against his own last name?
Starting point is 00:17:53 Is the second half of it a swear word or something? Parker A's were locked on Houston Cougars here. Like dog. What was that name? I didn't coach and teach and coach. Wait a second. Next time he comes on, we need a full segment bullying him. What do you mean next time, Richie?
Starting point is 00:18:09 Bingo. Big 12 squad. It's Parker Angel who hosts the Locked on Cougars. I got to go do some teaching and coaching. Can't be their life. And I brought to you by Five Out Energy. It's just insane. Teaching and coaching.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Teaching and coaching. Get to the point. Get to the point. So good. It's just the same thing. He didn't come to. He didn't come to. Get to the point. Get to the point. So good. So good. That one was titled Parker Ainsworth on TNT, which I can only imagine does not mean him being on TNT. Like inside the NBA.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Is he going to blow up the Big 12 squad? Is that what he's trying to do? Parker is obviously very big into the foreplay aspect of life. I got to go. I'll see you guys later. How did we jump there? How did we? Why are you surprised? We do this like every week.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Come on. Right. I'm a little surprised it took until the 17-minute mark, I guess. But how did we even get there? That wasn't like a logical next step. I'm going to give you a deep dive into my brain. My brain said, he's got a wife. I wonder how his wife deals with some of that.
Starting point is 00:19:17 I wonder if his wife is super excited all the time. And then it just kind of kept leading me on to, I think Parker probably thoroughly enjoys foreplay. So I bet his wife is pretty happy. Yes, it's good. It's a compliment. I don't know why Hatch is laughing. Why is Hatch laughing?
Starting point is 00:19:34 Did you guys really think I was going to miss out on the opportunity to dress up and act the fool right here on Locked On Big 12 Squad? Absolutely was not. You can hear the rustling of the paper in his beard did you guys really think i was going to miss out on the opportunity to dress up and act the fool you can't hear it you can i've never noticed that i have no idea who that is oh you have so many videos ready oh god all you gotta mention is hymns man c. Cody, come on. You missed it. Gold Rocks. I did. I did.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Former sponsor of Locked On Big 12. Next time Parker sends in a little thing, it needs to be a hymns video and his wife needs to help plug it. There we go. There it is. Cody, I let you get away with a lot on this show. I'm not sure if that is going to fly. This is the Locked On Big 12 squad.

She could say, beat him like Parker with hymns. Yeah, you feel it, Drake. You feel it deep down in your loins.
Starting point is 00:21:34 I don't feel anything. I feel nothing. I am numb. Almost. We might get zero teams. Based on this week's college football playoff ranking, we have the 12 seed. we have the 12 seed. We have the 12 seed.
Starting point is 00:21:47 The 12 seed. Get ready for the wild scenario where you get left out of the playoff altogether. Oh. Which is like a one just so I can make myself clear. What's that? What would that take? Army beats Notre Dame this week. They will jump ahead of the highest
Starting point is 00:22:04 ranked Big 12 team in the country? They will jump ahead of the highest ranked big 12 team in the country. They will jump way ahead of Colorado. And if Colorado were to then beat BYU, there is a real world. And wait, look, could they get it as an at-large maybe, but who do you think the committee wants 10 and two sec or an 11 and two big 12 champion team? If it's Colorado, our favorite Colorado, I was going to say say deon's involved so which sec team at 10 and 2 if they were all to be 10 and 2 which one which one are you kicking out i'm not saying it's right i'm just saying because of money maybe texas that kind of i just i just don't trust people texas is currently ranked in the top five i don't think so if they if they lose to a&m
Starting point is 00:22:39 obviously that's what i'm saying if they lose to aM. They won't then fall out of the playoff from there. Not against Colorado, yeah. Forcing me to root for Notre Dame is the takeaway I got from that. That is 100% accurate. Arizona State would be even more likely than Colorado, probably way more likely to get left out by the committee. I blame you, Jake Hatch. All you had to do was beat KU, and we don't have to have this conversation.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Yeah, Jake, just let us beat you next time. Yeah. My fellow Jake, Jake Retzlaff, if he could throw a fade route in the end zone, it might have actually worked out that way. Wait, JT, what are you talking about? You did win. The game was just stolen.
Starting point is 00:23:20 The entire – I got another comment. You've been on the phone with Mark Harlan lately, Spencer? Is that where he's been? By the way, J that where your woman's basketball coach ran away to the NBA all of a sudden like what's going on here I got out of a Christmas movie I got out of a Christmas movie fittingly earlier
Starting point is 00:23:34 and saw that yeah Spencer you haven't heard this wait no Lynn Roberts University of Utah women's basketball coach is headed to the Los Angeles Sparks immediately middle of the season happened today dang getting Cameron Brink some help is headed to the Los Angeles Sparks immediately. Middle of the season. What? Yes, middle of the season. Happened today. Dang. Getting Cameron Brink some help.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Good for her. I also could help Cameron Brink. If she needs help, just give me a call. She is an avid listener to this, I hear. She is just a very powerful, strong person, and I am all for that. I got a tweet this way or a comment on the YouTube videos. Greatness from a Utah fan. What a great game. What? By the way, what a great
Starting point is 00:24:13 game. And they continue with, sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about. That's usually true. Utah is a consistent QB away from being the conference champion. The only team to score more than a few touchdowns on them is Colorado. You think Utah is one quarterback away from winning the entire Big 12? One player away? Yes. It's you, FanLogic, right there. Come on, baby.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Let's go. Okay. If you don't think a quarterback can make all the difference, I present to you a one Dylan Gabriel. He did not play in the Red River shootout in 2022. The final score of that game was Texas 49, Oklahoma 0. He plays in 2023, and Oklahoma wins. He leaves to go be the quarterback for my Oregon Ducks, and the final score is Texas 34,
Starting point is 00:25:07 Oklahoma 3. Three points. Don't tell me that one quarterback cannot make that much of a difference. We should have Spencer on more. I think that's the takeaway. He's doing great. By the way, I didn't say they'd go undefeated, but if you don't think Utah would be in the running to make the Big 12 championship game in the playoff, if they had good quarterback play right now, you're out of your mind. With the way the defense is playing, he's not wrong. He might be right. He's not wrong.
Starting point is 00:25:37 They've let 30 up once. They've only let 30 up once on the season. All you see is they be a contender. I'll read it again. Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about here. And maybe. Great game. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:25:50 What a great game. I love the great game comment. It reminds me of the longest yard when they sneak estrogen pills to the one guy on defense, and he's yelling at the crowd, stop booing people. Both teams are playing very hard. I'll give you a pick-em. I'll give you a pick them i'll give you a pick them really quick utah is the only representative the big 12 gets in but they get the playoff that's our that's our sauce or nobody gets in which one do you pick
Starting point is 00:26:18 i know what y'all are taking i mean i know what three of us are taking texting our lead producer. Cody said stuff about foreplay in second segment. Just making sure that's what I forget. We can go ahead and nip that in the bud if we have to. There's no news ad with it. Really quick, really quick, because I know how this gets spun, and everyone's going to say I'm crapping all over the Big 12
Starting point is 00:26:40 and that we're crapping all over the Big 12. The Big 12 is a really good league. A lot of these teams are right up there at the top. All I'm saying is, Jake, don't do this to me. Jake, don't you do this to me. All I'm saying is that Utah would be up there with those Indians. I'm not saying they would for sure win it, but I do think they'd be a contender if Cam Rising had stayed healthy.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Jake was up there looking like the penguin when Victor agrees to work for him. 42-21, baby, let's go. Elite reference. That shows peak. Yes, it is. And, yeah, I think Utah is one quarterback away from a Big 12 title in the same way that I'm one girlfriend
Starting point is 00:27:13 away from having a girlfriend. And that is all is fair in football and love. You realize that strength in the argument we're making, right? Yeah, I mean, I truly am one girlfriend away from being right there to having a girlfriend which so also we're playing you're gonna send back in our chat uh to our head producer i said i could help cameron brink then ask for a girlfriend in the
Starting point is 00:27:39 same segment six four by the way i'm six 6'4". She's also engaged. I knew someone was going to say it. Good job, Richie. God bless. You don't look 6'4". Shh. Anyone can be any height on these shows. Do you realize that I'm taller than Zach Blackerby? I didn't know that until two months ago. Really?
Starting point is 00:27:57 Zach's like 6'5". Spencer's 5'3". Zach's 5'2". All right. Sending to our head producer, I called my boss 5-2. Please delete the final product of show. That's Jay Kach, Cody Stilwell, JT
Starting point is 00:28:12 Wistersell, Spencer McLaughlin, Richie Bradshaw, Mountaineer Paul. JT's last name has a lot of consonants and a lot of vowels in it. This has been It Always Will Be. Make sure thanks Friends University. Yeah. Friends mentioned. This has been an always-willy.
