00:00 It feels good.
00:02 We wanted to come out here and play hard,
00:03 play well, and, you know, bring the bell back.
00:06 We did that, so we're, you know, really ecstatic
00:08 about the outcome of the game.
00:12 I don't know.
00:13 I think we just felt challenged going into this week,
00:15 so just try to come out and play hard,
00:17 set the tone from the beginning of the game.
00:22 And, I mean, really, just people did their jobs.
00:23 They did what they're supposed to do,
00:26 and that's all you can ask for.
00:27 Play hard and play physical and do your job.
00:30 I think they played well. I have to watch the film,
00:32 I mean, until I get a good grasp.
00:35 But, I mean, from coming off the field,
00:37 I felt like they played well. They played physical.
00:39 They didn't peek and add a gap,
00:41 so that was good for the most part.
00:44 So, I mean, I think they played good coming off,
00:47 you know, the field.
00:48 I mean, yeah, I mean, from the jump, Monday,
00:53 Monday's practice, I mean, everybody in the defensive room
00:57 really wanted to come out and play hard this week,
01:00 not let it -- not sulk on it, just be ready for this weekend,
01:03 come out and play hard and get the bad taste
01:04 out of our mouth.
01:06 So that was really the mindset of the defense
01:10 from the defensive perspective for the week.
01:13 And we just want to come out there and play hard
01:14 and, you know, go out there and win the game for us.
01:17 Yeah, I mean, I think Cam, Cam Dede and, you know,
01:20 Tres and Trey played, you know,
01:22 really well for the most part today.
01:24 I know Tres made a lot of good plays,
01:26 and then Cam, you know, covered well
01:28 and was able to, you know, fill the box well today.
01:30 So I think that, I mean, coming off the field,
01:33 I think they played really well today,
01:35 and we need that, you know, going forward.
