  Speaker 1: Thank you, Bob. Coach a game like this in front
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: of a crowd like this, what are the emotions that
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: you get to feel looking at the room of guys
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: who just accomplished a pretty I'd say good, feel good win.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, it's just it's kind of why you
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: coach college football, you know, because you get to experience
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: moments like this with young men that you really care
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: about and that are invested in this program the way
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: they are, and so it's it's a good feeling. And
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I'm just really happy for our players and the way
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: they hung in there and showed resilience and kept coming back,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: and you know, it was really today was kind of
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: an application of all lessons learned this year and put
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: it into action.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Thirty eight in attendance. What was it like being able
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to play in front of that kind of crowd, loud,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: largest crowd since twenty thirteen.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, like I've always said, and I'll say it again,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: we love it when there's people at our games. And
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: if there people aren't there, then you know, that's that's
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: fine too. It's a harder and money, but we always
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: appreciate the crowd. I think that I was pretty oblivious
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to it mostly game, but when when we needed him
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: at the end and they were great. Don't get me
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: wrong when I say oblivious to it, I'm not saying
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't know. I'm just saying, you know, you're focused
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: on what's happening on the field. But I know this
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: as I heard him on that last drive, and I
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: think they had something to do with that with us
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: getting that sack cause fumble with the end and.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: It was Brian Parham that had the sack cause fumble.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: We've talked about him all year. What does he continue
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to do here with the Huskies prove his.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Worth in college football? Not just here. You know, there's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: a young man that did not play college football last year.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: You know, he's at wat University of Washington, wonder redshirt.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: They basically booted him out of the program, and sometimes
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: you know, that can spell the end. But he was resilient.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: He trusted us, he came here. Now, Washington said good
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: things about him. You know, Jedfish and I are friends
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and they liked him a lot. But he just has
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: proved his worth, you know, And it shows you that
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: if you're resilient and you stick with something you really
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: believe in and you work hard, good things can happen.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: In the second half, it was a duke offense that
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you guys had to keep up with, and Skyler Bell
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: continues to do what he's done all years. So what
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: more can you say with two more touchdowns about Skyler
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Bell here tonight?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to say about Skyler. I mean
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: that that corner that was covering him is a you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: potential first round draft pick. He's one of the best
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: corners in the country. And you know, Skyler did a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: pretty good job. Not I mean, and they didn't cover
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: him with that guy the whole game, but when they did,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you know, sky competed his butt off. And I think
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Skyler continues to prove his worth. And I think that
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: connections me doing him and Joe is very relevant. And
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: it sure paid off tonight.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: In the second half. Needed to play to spark things,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and there are three phases of football, and special teams
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: came up with a fake punt, so you know what
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: went into the confidence of being able to draw that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: up and get that first down.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: We've been working on it all year. It's something that
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: we you know, we work on every single week. So
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: we knew that that we knew how to execute. It
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: wasn't something we just put in this week and you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: say hey, let's see if it works. We knew that
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: we had a really good chance to make it work.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Our guys had a high degree of confidence that would work,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: and they just went out and executed it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And lastly, you know the rule book inside it out
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: far more than most people. At the end of the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: third quarter with two minutes left, what were you trying
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to get an explanation from from the officials with that
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: fourth one fourth and one play where a timeout needed
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to be called.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I wanted an explanation as to why they didn't let
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: us SUP. That's about all I can say without having
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to pay money. So I'm going to just stop right there.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I'll let you say what you want, or maybe we
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: talk off Aaron, then you can convey my feeling.
• 3:31
