Hour 3
“I talked to other players, he knows who you are and he makes you feel important. He has that ability to connect in a short amount of time, and the fans feel it. You just feel like he’s your friend, and that’s why he’s great as a coach and a recruiter.” –@cjenser33 on Kalani. pic.twitter.com/YQkcvqRfSJ

“If Zach Wilson takes some significant strides at QB, they’d take 7-8 wins. No ones expecting them to pull a Cincinnati Bengals. He was the lowest-rated passer, and if he can jump into the 18-22 range and win 7-8 games, they’d be happy.”-@RichCimini on expectations for the Jets. pic.twitter.com/Y7nUphAGKq

ESPN 960 social media reaction:
I know Utah has had one. But it’s not exclusively Alumni. BYU also did an unbelievable job with marketing it.
Ladies and gentlemen, the only thing that can be top this, would be a @Utah_Football vs @BYUfootball alumni flag football game for charity. https://t.co/gSyGp5ZXiy

Hold walk-on tryouts for the game—must be a BYU grad who was not a former player.
Select a few from each age group to play along with @BYUfootball Alumni in the game. Televise both the tryouts and the game.https://t.co/JWMqFRZVU8

Before that Hail Mary, @TomHolmoe leaned over to me and said something about how these final plays are the scariest. Adrenaline is pumping, they all want to make a play, so they’re gonna lay it on the line—but they’re not as young as they once were.
