00:00 The keys to sustain those long drives are just communication and intensity.
00:06 Rivalry games come down to who wants to be the most physical team and
00:09 who's gonna pound the other team for a longer period of time.
00:14 And this week in practice, I think we've taken that to heart and
00:18 I anticipate our offense in line playing really well.
00:22 I anticipate our offense playing really well and
00:26 taking advantage of the things that their defense offers and in practice,
00:30 we've had some very physical practices.
00:32 So I look forward to seeing this out there on the field on Saturday.
00:35 There's always motivation in a rivalry game and
00:37 it's even heightened because we lost the victory bell last year.
00:43 So we have definitely watched film and North Carolina is a good team,
00:49 but we're also a very good team as well.
00:51 And we've taken it to heart that we're gonna go out there and
00:55 our goal as an offensive line is to dominate, that's the standard.
00:58 And so on each and every single play, our standard is to make sure that your guy is
01:02 on the ground or your guy's moved and
01:05 you have accomplished your assignment to the best of your ability.
01:07 And we're gonna do that.
01:10 Through practice, we've had physical practices that have allowed us to focus
01:14 on fundamentals and making sure that all our assignments are correct.
01:18 And so I think we're, the coaching staff and the offensive line and
01:22 the offense are in great positions to have a successful run game and
01:26 have a successful day on Saturday.
