1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a big, big win for us, obviously,

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, with a lot of the distractions kind of

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: round this week and knowing what's what's in store now

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: for this next week. You know, I thought we handled

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: our business today and that was the plan to come

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: in here, start fast, and um control the game, and

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: I thought we did that. You know, Offensively, a lot

8
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: of stuff to clean up. Didn't play our cleanest ball today,

9
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: but you know, the defense played great and special teams

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: was awesome, so kind of made up for it, and

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: then we had some huge players on offense, so good

12
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: enough to win. Obviously, it's not our cleanest game we've

13
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: we've had, but um, at this point in the year,

14
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: it's just about winning and so I mean, obviously we're

15
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: happy with that and to be able to win that way,

16
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's it shows the growth of this team

17
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: when you don't necessary to play your best, especially offensively,

18
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: and you can still dominate a game like that. So

19
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: it's it's cool to see our team continue to come together.

20
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: And um, we all know what what's kind of at

21
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: hand this week, so we're we're excited for the challenge

22
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: and ready to get back to work. For that. How

23
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: much does it help you personally getting played in such

24
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: huge games, uh at Clemson, getting read you for a

25
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: game like this, it's for the a f C South title.

26
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I think all guys have played

27
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: in games like this, all the different guys on our team,

28
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: different places, maybe maybe here, you know, years past, whatever,

29
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Um, So the biggest thing is you

30
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: can't treat any different than any other game. You can't

31
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: try to do more or less or you just have

32
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: to trust your process and what got us here, you know,

33
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: and I think we've we've gotten in a pretty good

34
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: groove of just the way we prepare, the way we

35
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: get ready for these games. You see, it's been paying

36
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: off for us the past month and a half. So

37
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: we just gotta trust that. You can't try to do

38
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of things new just because you're in a

39
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: position where it's a must win, you know, to get in.

40
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: You know, for us, it's it's the same as any

41
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: other game. You know. That's that's kind of been our

42
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: mindset the past two months. So for us, we just

43
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: gotta continue to do what we've been doing, prepare the

44
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: same way. UM, have a great week of prep and

45
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: put ourselves in position to win on on Sunday or whenever,

46
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: whenever the game is gonna be TMS touchdown run just

47
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: him running now. I saw actually, you know, they had

48
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: a great lock. They had safety filled filled the lane

49
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: and Zay got just enough of them, got a shoulder

50
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: and kind of knocked him out of the hole. Then

51
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think Travis had to even cut.

52
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: You know, he broke that one tackle on the second

53
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: level from the safety and he was gone. So you know,

54
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: we had we had that play up pretty good and

55
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: Zay and Christians specifically did a really good job on

56
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: the perimeter making that thing go just treated in the

57
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: next game. But isn't there a little part of you

58
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: that goes, you know, holy cow. I mean, this is

59
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: this is for h this is our lives for the season.

60
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: How do you not let that creep in? I mean

61
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: that's what you look at the situation we put ourselves in.

62
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: That's kind of been honestly, the feeling every week for

63
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: us is just because if we didn't win what today

64
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: was was four in a row. If we didn't win

65
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: these games, we wouldn't be in a position to do

66
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: this next week. So for for us, that that pressure

67
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: or whatever you wanna call. It's been there and you

68
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: know we've responded great to it. And now that this moment,

69
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, we talked a lot about, you know, a

70
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, this season is gonna come down to

71
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: Week eight. Team. We knew we had to take care

72
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: of business these prior weeks, but we had a feeling

73
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: we're going to put ourselves in position to where we

74
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: k team is gonna decide the you know, our our

75
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: playoff berth and where we where we head after that.

76
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: And so we've we've been expecting this um and we're

77
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: ready for it. And I think, like I said, you

78
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: can't treat it. You know, it's a big game, because

79
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: you're right, it is for for our season and to

80
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: keep to earn the right to keep playing. But it's

81
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 1: still a game. It's still played the same way, still

82
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: the same length of time, all that stuff. It's the

83
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: same game. So you can't can't freak out and make

84
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: it bigger than it is. You gotta, you know, stick

85
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: to what you know in your process. Someone already asked it,

86
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: but we asked for you. Every week. While snapping another

87
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: streak with his franchise, issue nine in a row of

88
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: the Texans got that go on. Yeah, it feels good.

89
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of guys in that locker

90
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: room that have been a part of that. You know,

91
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: I've been a part of three of them. Um, and

92
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: it feels good to get this one obviously, you know,

93
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: just it's it's hard to win in this league, so

94
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: you appreciate all of them. Especially a division game where

95
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: you haven't beat this team in a while, it feels

96
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: really good, especially do it at their place. Um, that's awesome.

97
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: But you know this one's gonna be short lived for us.

98
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: We know we've got a big week in front of us.

99
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was. It was great to get the

100
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: win to no kind of defense they are Gosh Brady

101
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: maybe to play how big was getting a touched out

102
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: of the first drive. You know, they their their defense

103
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: has played really, really great all year. Um, just really disciplined,

104
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: well coached. Um. They do what they do and they

105
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: do it well. And they're they're physical too. So we

106
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: knew starting fast would be it would be big for us,

107
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: something that we weren't able to do. We played them

108
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, so to be able to jump

109
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: out of that lead earlier than our defense just be

110
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: able to pin their ears back and get after them.

111
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: Really the whole game I think put us in a

112
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: good position. And then, like I talked about though before,

113
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: just not playing our best on offense. We had a

114
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: couple opportunities to add on to that even earlier, and

115
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: and we stalled out and had some some miscommunications some

116
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: stuff like that early on that we need to clean up.

117
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: But you know, other than that, and I thought that

118
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: the first drive and the third quarter was really good

119
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: for for all of us, just to be clean, to

120
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: go all the way down the field, to score there, um,

121
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: and to finish kind of the right way. Obviously a

122
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: lot of the guys still played after that, but for

123
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: for me, you know, I wanted to really have a clean,

124
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: dry cause I didn't think we executed very clean in

125
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: the first half of the majority of the time you

126
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: take in Christian games, a thousand yards receiving it's awesome,

127
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: you know. I told him kind of after the game

128
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: or middle of the game, when when I realized like

129
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: shooting said the thousand, Like congrats, man, Like just he's

130
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: earned it, you know, he's worked super hard, and obviously, um,

131
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big part of our offense is

132
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: a thousand yards. It's a lot of production from him,

133
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: and just to see him him have success and just

134
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: the amount of work he's put in and the work

135
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: that we've put in together and to see how it's

136
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: paid off and just the connection to the chemistry that

137
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: we have. It's been really cool and um just happy

138
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: for him, so just keep building on it. Awesome, Thank

139
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: you all. Ye
