00:00 >> Throughout the whole year, we're training to get to the playoff and
00:04 execute how we want to execute.
00:06 I said we saw that for that time.
00:10 The playoff, the mistakes are very crucial in the game,
00:15 so you gotta really minimize the mistakes.
00:18 I feel like at times we were good, we moved in front of the team.
00:22 I felt like we ran the ball, but
00:25 it wasn't how we should have been running the ball.
00:31 We started slow, so I think that we just shot ourselves in the foot.
00:35 >> You mentioned those mistakes being crucial, just how much of an impact did
00:39 those two turnovers make where they were able to score 14 points off of them?
00:43 >> You talking about us or them?
00:45 >> You guys, the two turnovers that led to them scoring 14.
00:48 >> It's big, the mistakes.
00:51 It's not like we just all stand place, we'll get it again.
00:56 You gotta be clean and crisp.
00:59 Like I said, you just gotta minimize them and play your game.
01:02 We didn't do that today.
01:04 >> I know this is fresh for you guys, but you've been in this organization for
01:07 a couple years.
01:07 Do you think it's gonna take the push back from the NCAA to help you guys to win
01:10 a playoff game?
01:12 >> I don't know what's gonna happen, but my job is to come out here, do my job,
01:17 give my all, and that's what I did.
01:19 I'm trying to leave it all out there.
01:22 I can't play everybody else's job out there.
01:23 So, like I said, really just playing hard and minimizing mistakes.
01:28 That's what it is, minimizing mistakes and just taking care of football.
01:32 >> Absolutely.
01:33 >> Can you tell us what your guys' number for
01:35 the last five, a couple of them, out on top?
01:38 Anything you can tell you?
01:43 >> I didn't even know that, but you just gotta come back next week.
01:46 Whenever we see them, we give it all to them.
01:50 They got us today, so mistakes killed us.
01:54 We didn't capitalize whenever we got the ball back at times.
01:58 They went up front at times, and we did, but
02:02 they won a little more than us today.
02:05 >> Do you feel like you played with them, though, with the turnovers, up there?
02:09 >> Yeah, at one point, we're going back and forth.
02:12 Just couldn't get nothing going earlier in the game.
02:15 I started kind of slow, a couple of grand outs and whatnot.
02:18 But we just started figuring stuff out.
02:21 So the second quarter, before half, we got a score.
02:24 So we just lost the momentum.
02:28 They owned the field, so they probably, a big part of that for them, too.
