00:00 One, I thought our special teams did an incredible job.
00:03 I think one of the biggest plays that was a little bit unnoticed,
00:07 we were punting from our goal line, really, Grant's heels were on the goal line.
00:11 And we flipped the field.
00:13 I mean, I think they fair caught the ball on the 35.
00:15 Hunter went down and forced a fair catch in the fourth quarter.
00:19 Our kickoff game was great.
00:21 Our punt team held those two returners really to nothing.
00:25 And then obviously, the kick at the end of the game,
00:27 we had the one edge rush off the field where they blocked it.
00:30 We fixed it and we hit the game winner.
00:32 So special teams was good, but it's a team game, right?
00:35 I mean, if you go back and really watch that game closely,
00:37 I thought on their first drive, they hit us on a few plays.
00:39 And after that, we had them third and 10 or 12, and we stopped them and
00:43 we jump off sides.
00:45 And it's all self inflicted down the field.
00:48 And if we do our job, we're off the field.
00:50 Then on defense, again, it's third down and 10 on the minus side of the field.
00:54 We call it great pressure, have them.
00:57 We miss the sack, spins out of it, runs around, hits a play.
01:01 Then we, again, self inflicted down the field.
01:04 So when you do all that, and you keep our defense on the field, and
01:07 they keep our offense out on the bench, I don't think they ever gotten in a routine
01:13 where they weren't getting the ball quick enough.
01:14 They weren't getting into any rhythm really until the end of the game when we
01:17 started getting the three and outs.
01:19 But that's why it's a team game.
01:21 I mean, we gotta get off the field and we gotta give our offense the football.
01:24 Because there were holes and we hit a bunch of them and there were guys open and
01:28 we need to find some more of them.
01:29 And you saw in the fourth quarter that we really put it all together.
01:32 Like I said last week, I'm gonna enjoy the victory our players are.
01:36 But when you watch this film, again, it's about us and
01:40 little things that if you really look at the tape closely and if we do our job,
01:46 this doesn't come down to the last play of the game at all.
