00:00 So what was your impression of Washington?
00:01 Because obviously you got to play them last year,
00:03 they're coming back this year.
00:04 Just kind of, what was your impression of them?
00:06 University of Washington?
00:07 Yeah.
00:07 Um, well, I can say they are explosive on offense.
00:15 And we had a great battle against them.
00:17 It's 49-39 at the end.
00:19 We were losing a field goal there.
00:20 We were trying to kick to go do an outside kick.
00:23 But I would say they're really good for ball game.
00:27 They won 11 games last year.
00:29 Coach DeBoer, I have so much respect for.
00:31 I think he's a phenomenal head coach and offensive coach.
00:35 And then to bring Panic's back is a huge deal for them.
00:38 Their receivers are very similar to ours.
00:41 I would say our offenses are pretty
00:43 similar in terms of how we run our offenses.
00:45 Different maybe scheme, but in regards
00:48 to what we're trying to accomplish.
00:50 And I have all the respect.
00:51 I think they're one of the best teams in our conference
00:53 if not the best.
00:54 Did you have a relationship or know Kalen before?
00:56 I didn't.
00:57 I met him in Pebble Beach.
00:59 You were in Lincoln too.
01:00 Yeah.
01:00 Lincoln had the same thing.
01:01 Yeah, that's where I met him.
01:02 And what a great guy.
01:04 I met him when he was at Fresno.
01:06 So that was three years ago.
01:07 My first year at Arizona, I went to Pebble.
01:10 He was there.
01:11 And I met him there.
01:12 And then, of course, again, this past year.
