00:00You know, Coach, I'm sure in preparation for this game, you watched Nebraska kind of give you CLA fits early on in that game.
00:05What was your message to the team when you guys were struggling early on to refocus and, you know, build a 20 point win eventually?
00:12Yeah, I mean, we have a lot of veterans, but we also have a lot of young new players.
00:15And so I think just continuing to try to get them to understand that no matter what the jersey says, what someone's ranked,
00:21what we're ranked, the conference games are tough, and these teams coming in here are really good.
00:25So, you know, if you let teams get comfortable and you let them do, you know, a good version of what they are going to do, you're going to be in trouble.
00:33And so I think the halftime talk was, again, like I said, about some adjustments, but also just about our mentality.
00:39We have to assert our will a little bit more because, you know, all these teams are coming in here to get a win, to try to get a win, not to roll over.
00:45And Nebraska, like I said, is a tournament team.
00:47So we had to kind of shift our mentality a little bit and also shift some technical things.
00:51But I'm not surprised that they came in here ready to play.
00:53I've watched them on film, you know, and know how good they are.
00:56And I thought we were able in the second half to make them look way more uncomfortable and get out of what they do extremely well.
