00:00Let's talk quarterbacks. Let's talk offense. Let's keep it in

00:06the state of Oklahoma. A big twelve battle today between

00:09Oklahoma State and Utah. Coach Bowden, Utah is a slight

00:12favorite on the road in Stillwater but we are really

00:15not sure the status of Utah's quarterback Cam Rising. From

00:19the coaching perspective, if you're Mike Gundy, how are you

00:22preparing your defense for this matchup against the Utes? Well,

00:26you gotta prepare for Cam Rising because he is the guy

00:28that's made them the preseason favorite in the conference now.

00:31He practiced Tuesday. He practiced Wednesday and those

00:34are your work days. Those are the days that you really have

00:36to prepare for. So, the the word out of there out of out of

00:39Utah is that he's ready to go and I think what's gotta

00:42happen, you gotta make sure you put good pressure on him. Uh

00:45don't give up the deep ball and make sure he doesn't beat you

00:47because you know, Utah was a preseason favorite in this

00:50conference. Oklahoma State probably number two but they

00:53were preseason favorite because of Cam Rising and you can't let

00:56him beat you throwing that football and what he does

00:59offensively. Coach, Utah's just twenty and twenty overall over

01:03the past six seasons in regards to playing on the road. It's a

01:07special mindset. What is the most important thing to pull a

01:10match up in in a team in Oklahoma State that has been a

01:14dominant home team over the past few years? Well, you just

01:17don't, you don't wanna give up the big player, turn the ball

01:19over. When you're playing on the road and you're playing a

01:22team that is a good football team that plays well at home,

01:25don't give them a better chance to win by turning the ball over

01:29and giving up explosive plays. Now, Oklahoma State's running

01:32back, their great running back has not exploded so far. So,

01:35you don't want him to be the guy.
