And told 92 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: our offense that we were going to need one drive 93 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: to win the football game. At some point in time, 94 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: I think there were seven minutes left. I said, I 95 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: don't know if it's going to be a two minute 96 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: drive or it's going to be a five minute drive. 97 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: But we're gonna need one more drive from you, and 98 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: that's all that's gonna matter. And as soon as the 99 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: defense goes out there, I'll let you know if it's 100 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: gonna be a two minute or five minute. And it 101 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: ended up being a five minute, so they executed. 102 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 5: Coach, when you blow somebody out, I mean, everybody can 103 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 5: see that big win, everybody's excited about it.

I mean, 130 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: Drake London's a good player, and you know, I'll be 131 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: able to evaluate the performance more tomorrow when I talk 132 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: to you.

Just go win the game, you 146 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: know what? I mean, you'll go get the first and 147 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: win it. So that was that was a quick conversation. 148 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 8: And Mike so on Drake's stripsack there was, well, we'll 149 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 8: come to run all the way to make the tackle. 150 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 8: And what did they say about him a player and 151 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 8: the offense? I said, well, I. 152 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,679 Speaker 2: Think that. 153 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: You know those plays, if you do those enough that 154 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna save points. Right, there's gonna be another time 155 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: in a season where somebody is gonna have to do 156 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: that and the defense is going to get a stop. 157 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: And we we weren't able to get a stop on 158 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: that particular effort, but that won't go unnoticed. And I 159 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: appreciate your perspective and your willingness to point that out 160 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: because you know, the play is never over. Maybe the 161 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: next time that that ball gets knocked out, we'll we'll 162 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: knocks that ball out or Digs is chasing the receiver 163 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: one time and knocks the ball out or knock you know, 164 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: chasing the linebacker down in Cleveland. So we don't want 165 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: to turn the football over, but but when we do, 166 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: we expect the effort and and that's certainly the you 167 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: know will Will was doing that, and that's going to 168 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: save points the next time. 169 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: Coach, it seems like you guys had a lot of 170 00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: success running inside today. 171 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 4: What did you see from Trevion Anderson and Trell Jennings 172 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 4: having to step up obviously with rom Andre out. 173 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, they ran hard. I mean we had some some openings. 174 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: I wish we would have been able to to pop 175 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: a few more, but we were you know, we moved 176 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: him and we we got on the you know, second 177 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: level and felt like it was okay, it could have 178 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: been better, you know, really just. 179 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: You know, we get disjointed a few times. 180 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: Too many second and longs, you know, too many, you know, 181 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: too many times that put us to selves in long yardage. 182 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: But we converted. We were good on third down even 183 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: with that. So again, you know, the run game and 184 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: those guys will compliment each other. You know, backs ran 185 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: hard and took care of the ball, and then we 186 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: had a few perimeter plays. So you know, we'll just 187 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: try to figure out what gives us the best chance 188 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: each and every week to win the game. 189 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 7: Mike, you had Terrell Jennings with the ball in his 190 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 7: hands on that on that last drive, you had the 191 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 7: touchdown earlier.

He's run hard in five minutes. 194 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: It's a physical back and uh you know, I mean 195 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: those guys rotated most of the game, and Travion helped 196 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: us win, and so did you know Terrell is you know, 197 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: trying to get the ball to everybody and the rotation 198 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: and you know, just in that situation, I think where 199 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: Josh was gonna go with some inside runs there at 200 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: the end.
