| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Audible presented by Trader Joe's. |
| 0:18.7 | I'm Stuart Mandel, joined as always by Bruce Feldman |
| 0:22.1 | this week leading into Christmas. Bruce, we've got a great guest on today. It's Utah receiver, |
| 0:29.7 | Britton Covey. If you are not familiar with him, he has been at Utah since 2015. Tremendous |
| 0:37.4 | slot receiver, return man, and just has a great story. |
| 0:41.2 | He actually, this is, he may be the first player at Pac-12 media days, Bruce. |
| 0:44.3 | He sought me out. |
| 0:46.2 | He, his S-I-D was like, Britton Covey wants to meet you. |
| 0:49.4 | Can you come up here at this time? |
| 0:51.3 | And so we're going to talk to him about a whole bunch of things. |
| 0:54.8 | But a couple of things college football-wise off the top. First of all, did you get to see any |

And as you say it, I realized I had to think about which bowl this while. I knew who played in it. It was Western Kentucky, Appalachian State. It was actually the Boca Raton Bowl. And Bailey |
| 2:03.1 | Zappy is an example of somebody who maybe most people never saw play this year, the Western |
