00:00 Sam, I know it's fourth and real short,
00:02 but when you went for it at the 50 there in the third quarter,
00:04 your last week, you said the Sam Olytics said not to do that.
00:07 What --
00:09 But from the 49-yard line,
00:11 that's something I was talking about.
00:14 The 35, I thought we could get it,
00:16 and I went for it, obviously.
00:18 Your thoughts on -- you talked about that fourth down call
00:21 at midfield, seemed like you guys had a lot of momentum,
00:23 defense was playing well.
00:26 Do you feel like that was a big momentum swing in the game?
00:28 Obviously, that seems to be where things kind of turned.
00:31 Well, I mean, I guess we've been asked twice,
00:35 so I guess the answer is yes.
00:38 But I didn't -- I mean, we were up 14 to nothing,
00:42 and they went up 21 to nothing in the first half,
00:45 and I don't think it was because we went for it on fourth down.
00:49 So, I mean, I think that they were making third and long,
00:58 you know, and we couldn't get them off the field.
01:01 But if I had to do it again, I wouldn't go for it on fourth down.
01:05 Obviously, we didn't make it.
01:08 Is there any strategic --
01:09 any Xs and Os reasons for KJ on fourth and one
01:12 to not go, like, under center or something?
01:14 What's the third question?
01:19 I've been asked on that.
01:20 I've already -- I think I've already answered the question.
01:25 I just think a lot of fans are --
01:26 have asked, you know, on fourth and one,
01:28 you've got to pick a quarterback that sizes.
01:30 I've already answered the question.
