00:00 All right, folks, we're going to open up questions at the front here for Kyle McCord.
00:05 Over here, Dylan Davis to the right, Delaware Gazette.
00:08 Kyle, just how much more time were you working from last week?
00:11 Is that one start you'll be able to rely on enough to get to today?
00:15 Yeah, anytime you can get that start under your belt and especially get a win against
00:20 a good Big Ten team like Indiana, it's good for sure.
00:24 And then you just use that confidence and that experience you got from that first week
00:27 and carry it on the second week.
00:29 Now the goal is to use what I learned this week and carry it on the next week and just
00:33 keep that training on.
00:35 Over to the left, Rob Aller, Columbus Dismantle.
00:37 Do you think you did enough to win the job on the right?
00:41 I mean, it's not up to me.
00:43 That's a question for Coach Zay.
00:44 Like I said earlier, I think the only thing I'm worried about is whenever I'm on the field,
00:49 just making the most out of my opportunities.
00:51 And if that's every single drive, then that's great.
00:54 If it's every other drive, it's great.
00:55 If it's one drive, it's great.
00:57 Whatever opportunities I get, I'm going to try to make the most out of.
01:00 You came on last week, wanting another throwback or to do something.
01:05 What did you do today that you were happy about that maybe you didn't do last week?
01:09 Yeah, I think the biggest thing is just coming out of the gate and just trusting my reach,
01:14 trusting my arm, trusting the players around me.
01:16 I think we showed flashes of fitness for sure.
01:20 And I feel like, especially in the first half today, came out strong and got things going.
01:26 I got the ball in the receiver's hands and it did some good things after the catch.
01:30 We aired it out a little bit.
01:31 I think it was a good mixture.
01:33 And as long as we can continue, I think we'll be in a really good spot offensively.
