00:00 >> Yeah, man, it's not the first time that that's happened.
00:02 But yeah, man, going into the game, like I said, the week we all talked about it.
00:07 The biggest thing that we was worried about is not like,
00:10 carrying the team or you say or that is just the ball security.
00:14 As my first play, I try to tuck it away and it slipped right out of my arm.
00:18 So I knew that that was one thing that needs to be emphasized a little bit more.
00:24 So I went on sideline, I try to get it, got like two towels.
00:27 I keep trying to rub my arms and things like that.
00:29 And just this game, we knew that ball security is gonna be a big issue and
00:33 that's gonna be the outcome of the game.
00:34 So, yeah, man.
00:37 >> Even though they were arresting certain guys, for the most part,
00:41 they're front seven out there.
00:44 And you were still able to run the ball as effectively as you did.
00:47 >> I mean, we wasn't really too worried about who was gonna play.
00:52 We knew guys wasn't gonna play.
00:54 But I mean, shoot, last year we did the same thing with all the guys in it.
00:58 First game wasn't the running numbers.
01:00 But I mean, whenever the teams play against us,
01:04 we're never worried about who's playing or who's not.
01:06 We just got worried about getting the win.
01:09 So this game right here, we knew that they was gonna arrest some of the guys.
01:13 But the main thing for us to do was to get the win so
01:15 we can even get into the playoffs.
01:17 That's all that matters.
01:18 And man, we did that today.
01:20 We didn't really care about who was out there or how long they were gonna play.
01:27 Really, whoever was in there, we wanted to play so
01:30 physical that if they did play their ones, their guys, we wanted the hard ball to say,
01:35 we gotta get them out of there because of how physical we're playing.
01:37 So I think we did that today.
01:40 And hopefully we could, I think we'll play them again, right?
01:43 If things work out, we'll go back in.
01:45 >> [INAUDIBLE] >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
