00:00Dan, can we maybe get an update on Tez and how he's doing now?
00:06I didn't take long.
00:08I thought it might be number one.
00:09I'm going to tell you the same thing I always tell you.
00:11As soon as they're ready to go, we'll have them out there.
00:13You know, we're going to put player, you know, safety first.
00:15You know, Tez will be down, you know,
00:18certainly right now in the near future,
00:20but I do anticipate us getting Tez back here soon.
00:23You know, same with Marcus.
00:24I think neither one of those injuries are as bad
00:28as maybe they appeared on the field,
00:30and I think we'll have those guys back,
00:31but I don't know when that looks like right now,
00:33but we'll do what we always do, take care of the players
00:36and what's in the best interest of them,
00:37and both those guys fight to get back
00:38as soon as we can have them.
00:40Right, right.
00:41You guys punched in for a touchdown with the game
00:43already in hand with 25 seconds left.
00:45Just curious your mentality in that spot.
00:47Yeah, I mean, ultimately, they had a timeout.
00:49If they utilized the timeout,
00:50then there's the opportunity for them to stop it,
00:54you know, and you're trying to assess
00:55are they going to be in a position to use one or not,
00:57and obviously, looking back at it, it's easy to say,
01:00okay, they probably weren't going to utilize one.
01:01They're going to let the clock tick out,
01:02but, you know, at some point,
01:05that could happen to us, as well.
01:06I'll never be ashamed for us going to score a touchdown.
01:08It's our job to stop them,
01:09and I know I've got a ton of respect for Coach Moore
01:13and the job that he's done.
01:14He's been amazing every time I've got to interact with him,
01:17and, you know, you could feel bad,
01:18but as a competitor, you want to go out there
01:20and do the best you can to score,
01:23and I'm sure there certainly were some Oregon fans
01:25who were excited that we did there, too.
01:28It looks like James might have been one of those guys
01:29that was excited.
01:31I got your back, James.
