00:10 In terms of health, I think we're in a pretty good place from the things
00:18 that we talked about in terms of the number of reps our guys have had in games.
00:23 The number of guys were playing, I think we're in a pretty good place from
00:28 that perspective, I mean, obviously, you'd always love to be totally healthy.
00:34 And we're not that, but I think we're in a pretty good place.
00:38 I thought the guys did a really good job,
00:41 the staff did a really good job of managing the bi-week reps as well.
00:47 Because that's something that probably I didn't talk about when I got asked
00:51 that question in the beginning is,
00:54 that's also one of the things you're trying to do in practice.
00:57 You're managing the reps of the guys that have earned that.
01:03 A guy who's played a ton of football at Penn State,
01:07 who's played a ton of football in terms of college football in general,
01:12 has played a bunch of reps for us this season.
01:15 All those things kind of factor in and then you kind of manage that as well.
01:19 So nothing is changed from an injury
01:24 standpoint to address with you guys.
01:28 But I think we're in a pretty good place.
01:31 The reality is we need to be in a good place going into this game and
01:35 we need to be in a good place coming out of this game as well.
