00:00 >> Hey, Chaz, I just wanted to get the feel for
00:04 the defense in the second half.
00:07 What do you feel like changed for you guys in terms of confidence,
00:12 given how the first half went and the points that you guys allowed?
00:17 >> I just think we made adjustments at halftime.
00:19 With some stuff that they did was problematic against our scheme.
00:25 So we kind of switched up the fronts a little bit and
00:28 was able to make some plays.
00:29 >> And looking at the big picture of the season,
00:34 obviously this doesn't eliminate you guys from anything.
00:38 But what do you think just in terms of it making the margin of error that much
00:43 thinner if you guys wanna get to ACC championship game?
00:47 >> I mean, yeah, I mean, the goal is win every game.
00:51 We didn't do that today.
00:52 So I mean, we're gonna have to go back and work harder, get better.
00:57 Come on next week and perform.
00:59 That's about all we can do.
01:00 >> All right, thanks, man.
01:02 >> All right, Gregory Hall, go ahead.
01:05 >> Chaz, what was Florida State doing in the first half that caught you guys off
01:11 guard?
01:11 >> Nothing really caught us off guard.
01:15 It's just, I mean, we knew they would run the quarterback.
01:19 We knew they'd take their shots.
01:21 And they were just able to hit on some of those shots, make some plays.
01:26 So we just gotta go back to the drawing board and
01:28 try to clean it up for next week.
01:30 >> What was the message either from Mac or Jay Bateman at halftime for y'all?
01:36 >> We were really talking about a comeback.
01:40 Just started with the first drive in the third quarter.
01:44 Just trying to come out and play hard in the third quarter,
01:46 make a statement that we're not going away.
01:49 I think we played a lot of times in the second half.
01:53 I don't think they scored in the second half.
01:57 No, I don't think so.
01:58 So I mean, I think we came together on defense.
02:01 It just was a little too late.
02:04 So next time, you just gotta come out in the first half and play a little better.
02:08 >> Thanks, Chaz.
02:10 >> All right, last one for Chaz, PJ Morales, go ahead, PJ.
02:14 >> Hey, Chaz, I just wanted to know, where do y'all, when you're down by that much of
02:21 a deficit at the half, where do y'all find kind of the confidence and
02:23 the inspiration to come back from a deficit like that?
02:27 And not only hold FSU's offense to no points, but as well,
02:32 with the rest of the guys, getting the offense motivated,
02:37 getting the defense motivated to make stops.
02:39 Where do you guys get that confidence from?
02:41 >> I just think the faith we have in the players we have on the team and
02:44 the coaches, and then along with the offense.
02:47 We knew the offense was gonna get rolling at some point.
02:50 We're just waiting on them to click.
02:51 So yeah, I think just the people we have in our building is where we get
02:55 the confidence from.
02:56 >> And then just kinda going forward,
02:59 how do you take this energy and then take it to next week?
03:01 >> I think we just gotta get better from this film.
03:05 And then go out there and practice hard.
03:09 We put ourselves in better situations to win the game.
03:12 That's about all we can do, really.
03:14 >> All right, thanks, man.
03:15 >> Chaz, thanks so much for your time.
03:18 >> Thank you.
03:19 (sniffling)
