INTO
INTO NEXT
INTO NEXT WEEK'S GAME HERE IN ARIZONA. WELL WE ARE LESS THAN A WEEK
AWAY FROM A AS NEW SEASON
OPENER AGAINST USC AND I WAS
SURPRISED TO SEE THE SUN DEVILS
TEN AND A HALF POINT DOGS
HEADING INTO THIS GAME.
SOME MOTIVATIONAL MATERIAL
PERHAPS FOR HERM EDWARDS TEAM.
EDWARDS IS IN HIS THIRD YEAR AT
THE HELM OF THE ASU FOOTBALL
PROGRAM WHICH MEANS THE
MAJORITY OF THE PLAYERS AND
STAFF ARE OF HIS GUYS, HIS
RECRUITS THIS YEAR WE'RE
CHECKING THE PULSE ON THE HOME
EDWARDS ERA AND THAT STARTS
WITH THE BIG TEST DOWN IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TONIGHT
SUNDAY SHOWCASE WE GO TWO ON
ONE WITH COACH HERM GALLO ABOUT
WINNING FOOTBALL GAMES.
>> WATCH THEM.
I GOT ONE HIT.
WELL, I'M OLD DETROIT AND I'M
ALL RIGHT.
>> I REMEMBER JOINING US NOW ON
TWELVE SPORTS TONIGHT COACH FOR
LESS THAN A WEEK FROM GAME DAY.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LOT
OF EMOTIONS JUST TO GET TO THIS
POINT.
WHAT ARE THE EMOTIONS WHEN I
SAY HEY, IT'S GAME WEEK AND DO
YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL DANCE
MOVES FOR PRACTICE THIS WEEK?
>> WELL, THERE'S A LOT
OF ANTICIPATION OBVIOUSLY WHEN
YOU PLAY A TEAM LIKE USC AS
TALENTED AS THEY ARE AND WE
HAVE A LOT OF PLAYERS IN THIS
TEAM FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
THERE'S SOME EXCITEMENT YOU'RE
GOING INTO WEEK ONE ESSENTIALLY
BLIND.
>> THERE IS NO FILM ON USC LIKE
YOU NORMALLY WOULD HAVE
ENTERING CONFERENCE PLAY AND
THEN YEAH, YOUR EYES MIGHT BE
HALF OPEN WITH THE EARLY KICK.
TALK TO ME ABOUT SOME
CHALLENGES THAT YOU GUYS ARE
GONNA FACE TO KICK OUT.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA
AFFECT A WHOLE LOT TO TELL YOU
TRUTH IN THE FACT THAT WE
PRACTICE IN THE MORNING.
SO WE'RE A MORNING TEAM NOW
PREGAME MEALS EARLIER FOR MOST
OF THESE GUYS WHEN THEY GET UP
BUT THEY START TIME WE'LL BE
SIMILAR TO HOW WE PRACTICE HOW
I KNOW YOU'VE REACHED OUT TO
SOME COACHES ABOUT SOME ADVICE
JUST NAVIGATING THE KOFOD
SEASON.
HOOFY RAY SHOUTIN WHAT'S THE
BEST ADVICE THAT YOU'VE GOTTEN
?
THEY SAID THE BIG THING
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO
PLAY IN A STADIUM WHERE
ACTUALLY THERE'S NO NOT GOING
TO BE MANY FANS AT ALL.
YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR OWN
ENERGY.
THE WHISTLE IS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT TOO.
WE HAD WE WERE IN PRACTICE WITH
THAT TRYING TO HEAR THAT WAS SO
GOOD THING ABOUT COACHING RIGHT
NOW IS THAT FOR THE MOST PART
IF YOU SEE ON THE SIDELINE YOU
COULD ACTUALLY HOLLOWED OUT TO
THE PLAYERS THEY'LL HERE YOU GO
HERE YOU WITHOUT A DOUBT COACH
FIVE HOURS TIME IN YOUR CAREER
YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO REPEAT
YOURSELF, COACH A BIG THING
WITH YOUR OFFENSE THIS YEAR THE
AMOUNT FRESHMEN YOU'RE GOING TO
PLAY YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO
COUNT ON OF A LOT OF THEM.
WE KNOW WHAT JAMES DANIELS CAN
DO BUT WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM
SOME OF THESE FRESHMEN RIGHT
OUT OF THE GATE?
WELL, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE
RUNNING BACK SITUATION, ALL
THREE OF YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE
OF FRESHMEN.
THEY WILL PLAY.
THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE FRANK HAS
THE MOST EXPERIENCE AT THE WIDE
RECEIVER POSITION.
THERE WILL BE SOME FRESHMAN
GUYS PLAYING BUT YOU FOLKS KNOW
YOU'RE USED TO SEEING YOUNG
GUYS PLAY, RIGHT?
I MEAN THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE
DO AROUND HERE JUST LIKE, YOU
KNOW, FRESHMEN HAVE TO COME IN
AND THEY HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, GET
ACCLIMATED TO THE PROGRAM AND
THE COACHING STAFF.
THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN YOU
HAVE NEW COACHES COMMENTS.
YOU'VE GOT A NEW OFFENSIVE
COORDINATOR AND THEN NOT NEW TO
THE PROGRAM BUT ANTONIO PEARSON
,MARVIN LEWIS MOVING INTO NEW
ROLES.
HOW HAVE THEY GROWN INTO THOSE
ROLES AS YOU GUYS ARE
APPROACHING WEEK ONE?
WELL, IT'S BEEN KIND OF FUN
WATCHING THE OFFENSE IS ITS
INTEREST.
>> IT'S ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THAN
WHAT WE'VE SEEN LAST TWO YEARS
ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF IT
WE'VE GONE A LITTLE BIT MORE TO
THE FOUR THREE LOOK MORE OF A
PRO LOOK I WOULD SAY SECONDARY
PLAY TOGETHER LINEBACKERS HAVE
PLAYED TOGETHER.
MARVIN LEWIS WAS A CONSULTANT
FOR THE MOST PART.
ANTONIO PIERCE WAS A LINEBACKER
COACH AND NOW THEY'RE BOTH
CO COORDINATORS.
SO BOB IS AN OLD HAND AT THIS.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE KIND
OF INTERESTING HOW HE CALLS THE
GAME.
YOU KNOW, HE HADN'T CALLED A
GAME AND ONE'S BEEN A COACH ALL
HIS LIFE.
>> COACH, I'D NEVER ASK YOU
THIS.
WE'RE GONNA GET YOU OUT OF HERE
ON THIS.
I JUST THINK THERE'S SOME LINES
IN LIFE THAT ARE WORTH
REPEATING.
YOU KNOW DENZEL WASHINGTON IN
TRAINING DAY SOMETHING FROM THE
LION KING AND YOU'RE A LOW
HELLO.
CAN YOU GIVE US ONE ON THE WAY
OUT, COACH?
BECAUSE HIS GAME I SAID AT ONE
TIME GREAT ABOUT SEEING THAT I
NEVER HAD TO SAY IT AGAIN.
YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME YOU
HAVE TO SAY HELLO.
YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME.
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT.
I THINK YOU DON'T FORGET HOW
COPE THAT'S MY JOB PRETTY FAR
WHAT I SEE FOR YOU YOU PLAY
