00:00 Florida, you know, for getting that win.
00:02 You know, but I think it pointed to a very undisciplined football team.
00:07 Is that what we were tonight?
00:08 And that's pisses me off.
00:10 And we've been that way, and that's on me.
00:13 We're going to get that fixed.
00:15 We got three more weeks, and then we got an offseason,
00:17 but we're going to do everything we can to get that fixed.
00:19 And you cannot win football games being that undisciplined.
00:23 And that is the turnovers.
00:25 That is the penalties.
00:26 You know, we had a player get kicked out tonight.
00:28 I mean, you know, those type things is not who we want to be.
00:32 And it's embarrassing that we do those things.
00:36 We got to get that fixed,
00:38 and we're going to continue to work hard to get that fixed.
00:40 Whoever wants to show up in that locker room tomorrow,
00:42 we're going to continue to work on that.
00:44 And that's what I told them in the locker room just then.
00:46 That's unacceptable.
00:48 You know, I feel like a broken record coming in here, you know,
00:52 where we're out gaining teams by over 100 yards,
00:54 and yet we're on the short end of the stick.
00:56 And it comes down to, you know, I don't know.
00:59 You can pick the number of plays, six or eight plays.
01:02 But there are differences in the game, and that is what's frustrating.
01:06 And I know it's frustrating to our crowds that show up,
01:10 and I appreciate everyone that shows up out there that, you know,
01:13 have to look at that crap, and that pisses me off.
01:16 And we got to get that fixed.
01:18 I know that.
01:19 We understand that.
01:20 And we're going to.
01:22 Man, I mean, because we did some great things tonight.
01:25 And that gets overshadowed by some undisciplined play.
01:30 I mean, the work of our running backs and -- I mean,
01:33 these guys didn't even practice.
01:35 I mean, they didn't even practice until Wednesday, you know,
01:39 and they're coming out, and we got two guys over 100 yards again.
01:42 You know, we've done that several times this year.
01:44 And so I'm extremely proud of them, the way they competed.
01:48 Offensive line, opening up holes like they did tonight, great job.
01:53 You know, I mean, it's just frustrating, obviously.
01:58 And we're going to work to continue to get that fixed.
02:01 And even at that, even at that, all of that,
02:03 we still had a chance to go down here and tie the game.
02:06 We didn't hit the two-point play.
02:07 Because our guys played their butts off, and that's what's frustrating.
02:11 And when we got about -- I don't know what the percentage is of guys
02:15 that are playing undisciplined.
02:16 We got to continue to work to get better at that.
02:18 You know, our plan tonight was to get Brady in at quarterback,
02:21 and we did that early in the game, allowed him to go in.
02:25 I thought he played well.
02:26 I thought Emory played well.
02:28 You know, the plan was to start Emory, and no matter what happened,
02:31 we were going to put Brady in because he deserves to play.
02:33 So we were able to get him in the game.
02:35 You know, I thought Emory was playing good,
02:37 so we ended up leaving him in the second half.
02:39 You know, we could have put Brady in, but I thought Emory was doing a good job.
02:42 And, you know, got us back in, and we drove down the field.
02:45 It was a great drive.
02:46 You know, I brought Brady.
02:47 Smith played really good tonight, had some big-time catches.
02:50 Get us in the ballgame and, you know,
02:53 to put a chance to tie the game there at the end.
02:55 But, you know, again, just frustrated.
02:58 We'll just open it up with questions.
