00:07 No matter how far they get out of the field or what the job looks like,
00:09 it may be ugly, but you gotta like overcome and respond.
00:12 That's the only thing you can do is respond.
00:13 >> You guys have had, I think, for ten turnovers on the season,
00:17 you've had a hand of three of them.
00:19 Is that as easily attributed to just feeling all that comfort you've talked
00:23 about and feeling more in this system or is it something else?
00:26 >> It's just the preparation, man.
00:27 Practice, coach give us good schemes at practice a lot of times, week in, week out.
00:31 And a lot of the stuff is just like this having like the keys,
00:35 we just reading the keys, certain keys like that that brings to the ball.
00:37 And we just try to help the defense play for us.
00:39 So I'm doing my job.
00:41 >> Keith, it was talked about a lot during the week,
00:43 the fact that you guys started 3-0 last year.
00:45 >> Right. >> You obviously started 3-0 this year.
00:47 Last year's team hit that wall and 3-0 this year's team hasn't.
00:50 >> We didn't forget.
00:52 >> How much gratification?
00:53 >> We didn't forget nothing.
00:54 We know everything that's coming, we know nothing's gonna be handed to us.
00:57 And winning is not easy because everybody will be undefeated if they don't chase.
01:00 So we just gotta understand, we hungry, we know what we wanna do,
01:03 we know what we gotta do to get there.
01:04 And we just wanna keep our head down and keep working.
01:07 >> Keith, S&P cut at 14 to 11, you guys finished strong.
01:11 >> Right. >> Gets cut to 10 to 6.
01:12 What have you learned about how the team responds during four games,
01:16 those moments?
01:17 >> Like I said earlier, man, just stay in the moment.
01:19 Coach like to keep literally stay in the moment.
01:22 He don't care about nothing else.
01:22 Just stay in the moment, be present, and then just be where your feet are.
01:25 And in that situation only, when we get back, 10 to 6, stuff like that,
01:31 it's just about we just can't let them get the lead.
01:33 Cuz if we get the lead, then it's gonna be the real dogfight.
01:35 We just try to keep a step stone above them.
01:38 >> Obviously no Reggie today, and obviously you guys still play very well.
01:41 What's to say about this group that you don't miss a beat?
01:43 >> The young guys are mature.
01:44 These young guys are really mature, and they understand the next man up.
01:47 Football, anybody can be a hamstring away.
01:51 You know what I'm saying? Just be prepared for the moment.
01:53 And we got these guys that really died in this year, and I love it.
