1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: You guys have cherish. It's more intimidating. No injuries right now. 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be something tomorrow, but there's nothing right now. 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: Go ahead, and what impressed you the most lot? 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 2: I mean, just how we overcame a bunch of stuff. 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: I didn't think we played perfect ball by any means, 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 2: I thought, which you never do, but I was just 7 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: happy that the mistakes that we did make we always overcame. 8 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 2: I was real disappointed, you know, getting those first two 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: turnovers and not scoring on either of them, having a punt. 10 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: Then when we get the third turnover, we actually score 11 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: ourselves on defense, but we have to call it back 12 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: and that was strategic so we could let the offense 13 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: do it. So finally we were able to do one, 14 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 2: and then being able to get that fourth one was cool. 15 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: You know, play complimentary football took us a while a 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: little bit back and forth, but once I thought we 17 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: were playing both well on both sides, that's when the 18 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 2: score became what it did strategic If you were on the. 19 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: Sideline, what's that? 20 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: Would that penalty have not been strategic if you hadn't 21 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 3: been one of the ones on the field for it? 22 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: Is that one? Yeah? No, I would have been mad 23 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: at whoever did it. No, I was. 24 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 2: I was mad at myself and I thought the play 25 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: was over. We kind of see and everyone jumped up. 26 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 2: And so when that happens, you're getting out there to 27 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 2: start to congratulate people coming back, and they're not coming 28 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: back to congratulators, they're running. 29 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: Back at us. 30 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: So everyone got it. We we know the rules definitely, 31 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: we know you can't go on the field. I just 32 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 2: I personally thought the play was over. They ran right 33 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: by us, and it was very unfortunate because it's a 34 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: good learning experience for our team. 35 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: We do show that stuff, but it's it was. 36 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: Short lived because we ended up scoring, so we can 37 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 2: live with it, but good learning example for us. I'm 38 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: not sure if you went back to it, but that 39 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 2: first play was a five pan front on the defense. 40 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: Was that something that you had charged out over the 41 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: buy and kind of set its own No, I mean, 42 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: I think we've mixed that in a little bit throughout 43 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: the year at times. I think we did a verus Pittsburgh, 44 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: I want to say, in one of the first couple 45 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: of plays, and I know we did a versus Minnesota, 46 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: I believe on Mooney's pick they're in the first quarter, 47 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: I think, so it's something we mix in and but now, 48 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: I thought their playing was real good today and it 49 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: seemed effective. 50 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: What did you think of the Big Books did he do? 51 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: I thought he was great. Uh. 52 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: I think Nick's been playing well all year, but for 53 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: him to get to get the sack and stuff cost 54 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: a turnover. I know how much he loves playing in 55 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: Florida too, so it was cool to have a big 56 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: game from him a day. 57 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: Thought all of 'em played Big Books on the field, 58 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: and sorry, what's that? What was it like having Steve 59 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: Books in the building. 60 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 3: How do you think get helped him? 61 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 2: I mean I ran into him a couple more times. 62 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: I mean I hear his voice wherever he is, So 63 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: I mean I enjoy him down there. I last of 64 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,839 Speaker 2: players how they thought. I'm excited to talk to Steve 65 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: on the plane see what he felt. But again, that's 66 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: nothing against you guys or anything, but just I've been 67 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 2: coaching a long time and I think that's one of 68 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: the most overrated things in the world. So but I 69 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: I enjoyed him down there to day. What was a 70 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: call process on on trying to get a Canter free 71 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: touchdown there? 72 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: If you. 73 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, eighteen games in a row is 74 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: a big record, So I mean, if we had a 75 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: chance to do that, I was gonna try to do 76 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 2: it for him, and you sold nerve wrecking. Last thing 77 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: I want to do is get him hurt. But once 78 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 2: we got it was a big time for Elijah to 79 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 2: run the ball like that to get us down there. 80 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: Brock In, I think Ronnie made a huge third down throw. 81 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: I believe that gave us a chance. And once we 82 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: got close and we told him to stay loose cause 83 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: we were gonna try and got close. 84 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: Wish we could have. 85 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: Done it for him, but I think that was a 86 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: pretty big accomplishment just to do it for seventeen games straight. 87 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 3: All. 88 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was awesome, said he knew right when I 89 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: saw him. I was like, hey to Hope, you know 90 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: why were trying to do that? And he was very 91 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: well aware they he said, they were talking about it. 92 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: So hopefully it didn't offend him too much. 93 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: You know, people would have some people would hear me 94 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: a freaked out from the coffee, got hurt on the 95 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: most of those players, you were ready, obviously ready to 96 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: assume the risk, could take the heat. I if that happened. 97 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 98 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: I I try to make decisions not based off of 99 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: having to talk to you after the game. I try 100 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: to make it on what I think's right for a team. 101 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong. Mm. But I'm not 102 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: gonna think about you until after the game. So and 103 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: I could just deal with it. 104 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: And practice recently. 105 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: That maybe the confidence that to make move today. 106 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean Amory's been I think Ambry's made 107 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: a lot of strides going back to even training camp 108 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: and stuff. But it was nothing against anyone in particular. 109 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: I just wanted to see a demo in the nickel 110 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: a little bit, and Demo's got a kind of a 111 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: knack for that, and it'll be fun to go watch 112 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 2: him on the plane and stuff see how we did. 113 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: But for us to make that choice, Amby was the 114 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: next man up outside. From when I saw there, it 115 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: seemed like he had a big impact. I know, watching 116 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 2: him and Nick there on that same play just I mean, 117 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: I'll see when I watched the tape, but just having 118 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: him out there and allowing our rotation to go, and 119 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: from what it looked like to me, I thought it. 120 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 2: I thought we were rushed collectively. The best that I 121 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 2: had seen you know, it's I'll tell you guys tomorrow 122 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: after I watched it on the plane, but just watching 123 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: alive on the sidelines, it seemed collectively our group had 124 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 2: their best game yet and that's the goal. How the 125 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: beginning of the second half. I know that you always 126 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: strive to do that, but could you kind of feel like, 127 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 2: could you breathe a little bit easier after that basically 128 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 2: a ten point possession. Yeah, that was our first time 129 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: this year that I felt like we did it right. 130 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: That we scored on the last play at the second quarter, 131 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 2: and we started out with it in the third quarter, 132 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 2: so and then we got that touchdown. So that that's 133 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: what we try to do every week. We were successful 134 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 2: this week. It was very nerve wracking watching them icear 135 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: kicker than the TV network icear kicker. I didn't know 136 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: what was going on, but that third kick, it was 137 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: a little tight too, but it worked. 138 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 3: So glad touchdown pass was that. 139 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, that was honestly one of I can say 140 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: this because he played his ass, played well, but that 141 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: was like one of his worst decisions. I think he's 142 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: a mazed aince he's been. 143 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: Here and it took me a while to get over it. 144 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 2: But I thanked him for the touchdown, but that that 145 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 2: was not a good decision and he was fortunate with it, 146 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 2: but he made a lot of really good plays. And 147 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: if you are going to make a bad decision and 148 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 2: it's still a touchdown the grand scheme of things, he 149 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: can tell me it was really good decision. But uh, 150 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: I know, we can't. H he knows that he he 151 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 2: knows what he did wrong. 152 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: But uh, you made him right well. 153 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 3: Pretty much, I guess po positive, which I w I 154 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: W course, uh is uh the fact that you know 155 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 3: he he you know, too many picks, too many you know, 156 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 3: bad mistakes by Brock. The fact that that was the 157 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: first drive that yeah, he didn't want of it, but 158 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 3: the obviously still was a scared and was still still 159 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: slinging it. Maybe not great, but I meanes that tell 160 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,239 Speaker 3: you something that he still wasn't playing scared in despite 161 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 3: what the university. 162 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 2: I mean, I think he's been playing the same way 163 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 2: all this time, and you don't feel it from him 164 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 2: at all. That's that's why I kind of been you know, 165 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: and I know he's had some turnovers here and they're 166 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: in our losses, but you know, you ask anyone who's 167 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: watched all those games and stuff. He was one of 168 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: the best players on the field in those games, and 169 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: you're always responsible for those turnovers. And but Brock, there's 170 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: none where you're sitting there saying he's taken too many 171 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: bad decisions. 172 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: That was one. 173 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: Definitely, it's gonna happen with guys. But I love having 174 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: a guy who isn't thinking about that. He's trying to 175 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: make the right decisions, letting her rip and he'll live 176 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: with the consequences and try to get better when it's not. 177 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 3: The two phases of the game. You guys just held 178 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 3: Don Peterson and Trevor Lawrence off a by without scoring. 179 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 3: Is it a similar first? Is this what you envisioned 180 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 3: your defense to look like? 181 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: In second? Is this simple as you guys just winning 182 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: early down. 183 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: I think it's just playing one game at a time 184 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: and not getting caught up in anything like I mean, 185 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: they had a bunch of big plays. It's it seemed 186 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: like it. I mean, they they got a number of 187 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: they got it going with their screens a number of 188 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: times that we had some big penalties that hurt us. 189 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: They had some exposive plays that got down there. Every time, 190 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 2: it seemed like they got going. Our guys just never stopped, 191 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: and you don't get points to you cross the goal 192 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: line or kick it through the uprights. And our guys 193 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: made so many plays when they were getting down there. 194 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 2: They just were relentless today and kept going for that ball, 195 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 2: and eventually everything took care of itself, and it was 196 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: real close. I mean, he was adamant that he was 197 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: gonna play and he was able to do enough to 198 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: you know, I'd say, whatever the percentage is eighty or whatever. 199 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: But it is tough because the last thing I wanted 200 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: to do is go out there and re injure it 201 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: or make it work so we can't play next week. 202 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: So it was a tough. We talked about it a lot, 203 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: all the coaches and him. We're gonna keep it a 204 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: hard eye on him as it went. But I thought 205 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 2: he performed well under the circumstances, and the biggest thing 206 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 2: was just talking him there on the sideline. He didn't 207 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: zing it, got out healthy and no stepback. So I 208 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: don't have to answer Eric's questions, what did you see 209 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: on the touchdown? It looked like Brock was working with 210 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: zero room to us with. 211 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: The line in front of them. Yeah, I mean it 212 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: was a look we were hoping for. 213 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: It just takes a while and Ba's running the en 214 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: route and George is running out route and takes a 215 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 2: little bit of time to get down the sidelines with 216 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: a leverage that I believe it thirty three had on him, 217 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 2: and Brock just tried to wait for it and waited 218 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: as long as he could so pumped he got it off, 219 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 2: but he had to throw with some anticipation and didn't 220 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 2: know if Brock was if George was going to be 221 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: able to get to it because he had a bow around, 222 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: a little rub of man coverage, but beautiful touch on 223 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: the ball. George has the skill set to explode through it. 224 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 2: And that was a huge second play of the half horse. 225 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 2: All right, Thanks guys, Thanks
