00:00It seems like you guys could really move the ball at times.
00:10What went into maybe the dry stalling once you got into Miami territory?
00:16Well, I feel like they disguised things well.
00:22We've been struggling all year in the red zone.
00:27Around the 30th, getting in there, so we've got to do a better job of that.
00:34How did you feel once Zach kicked someone in?
00:41How much did that change things having him there?
00:44Different skillset, but it doesn't change anything.
00:47We're going to keep our foot on the pedal.
00:49It doesn't matter what quarterback he's in.
00:51I feel like they all handle the offense pretty well.
00:54Nothing really changes.
00:59Go for Nate.
01:02Eleven catches for over 100 yards.
01:06It seems like they're really coming on as the season goes on.
01:09How has the chemistry been with Zach as far as you being targeted quite a bit?
01:17If I'm open, I hope he throws the ball.
01:21Every play is an eye for a certain guy.
01:24Like I say, he reads coverage as well.
01:27It's just going to take a little bit.
01:31Anything else for Nate?
01:34Can you describe your touchdown?
01:36Your touchdown?
01:37Touchdown?
01:38Yeah, man.
01:40I knew I had a corner.
01:42I can tell they were playing cover zero.
01:45They brought a corner over.
01:47I just had to win in that coverage.
01:50That ball was designed to come to me in that cover zero.
01:53The drive win on the flea flicker, when Zach gave the interception,
02:00I thought you did the reverse on the flea flicker.
02:02What was the design of that play, and what was the feeling on the huddle?
02:06Just on the offense, it seemed like you had things going that drive,
02:11a real good rhythm going.
02:13Things like that can happen.
02:18We have that momentum.
02:20We're going to clean it up.
02:21I feel like it was a great play call.
02:23You know what I'm saying?
02:24But, yeah, yeah.
02:27Anything else for Nate?
02:30Yeah, what would you kind of describe what the feeling in the locker room is
02:33right now?
02:34There's a couple games left.
02:35After the first couple weeks with coaching here,
02:37it seems like there's some momentum.
02:38Last week's obviously been tough, I guess.
02:40What's the kind of feeling right now,
02:41and how do you guys kind of, I guess, maybe bounce back from this?
02:44Yeah, one thing about this team, we never fall apart.
02:47We've been through some rough times here.
02:49We're still growing.
02:51Yeah, we just look forward to next week and getting the win.
02:56The offense scores that touchdown right before the half,
03:04similar to the previous week when you went down and got some points.
03:07Did you feel like we'd go out that second half
03:10and duplicate what we did against Virginia Tech?
03:14Yeah, well, you know, we needed that before halftime
03:18because we got the ball right out there.
03:20I feel like we need to push.
03:26It just fits us for some reason, like the two-minute offense,
03:29we just always get the clicking.
03:31So, yeah, maybe we'll look into that,
03:34except it goes wrong.
03:36Okay, thanks, Nate.
03:37Appreciate it.
