00:00 Is this team closer than other teams you've been on?
00:03 I'd say so, yeah.
00:04 We're a lot more connected.
00:06 And it's not anything of the past,
00:08 if there was attrition.
00:10 Just we've got more opportunities
00:13 to connect with each other.
00:14 And it's been a lot of fun.
00:15 How would you describe just the first quarter
00:17 and how you guys were able to fight through that adversity
00:20 and come back and gain some momentum
00:22 to go one and a half times?
00:23 It was a little bad juju.
00:24 A lot of it's on me.
00:25 Snapping it early, that's on me.
00:27 And I got to be better about that.
00:29 I think that shows through the resilience that we have.
00:32 And it doesn't matter what happens.
00:35 We just have an X play focus.
00:38 So the fumble was just snap on you.
00:40 Yeah, it's on me.
00:41 OK, but anything with Tez or--
00:42 Nope, nope, on me.
00:45 How do you respond to something like that just mentally?
00:48 You just got to take a deep breath.
00:50 You can't let the last play beat you again.
00:52 And you got to keep going.
00:53 And stuff's going to happen like that.
00:55 It happens to everybody.
00:56 No one can be perfect.
00:58 But still got to strive to be.
00:59 Do you get surprised by stuff that Bill does in games anymore?
01:02 Or is it just kind of whatever?
01:04 No, I do.
01:05 He just keeps amazing me.
01:09 That little duck under.
01:10 If you check that play, I kind of jump over him
01:12 when he gets tackled.
01:13 Kind of athletic.
01:14 But no, what he does is amazing.
01:17 And he does it day in and day out.
01:19 So.
01:20 In the offense, the game nearly 600 yards.
01:22 You scored 63 points.
01:23 And while you guys walk away feeling
01:25 like you could have played cleaner and better.
01:27 So speak to just what the standard is here.
01:30 Of course, yeah, no.
01:31 We have a standard.
01:32 It's like 1A, 1B.
01:34 Want to get 1 and 0, but 2, we want to play to our standard.
01:38 We got the win, but we didn't play up to our standard.
01:40 So a lot to fix and a lot to get back to the drawing board for.
01:42 But I think we're excited to do it.
01:44 Especially because these coming weeks are
01:46 going to be exciting football.
01:47 And November is really going to determine what we do.
