  Speaker 1: Coach at halftime, the message was just find a way
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: to win. Are you happy with how the guys got
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: it done today?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's a little more stressful than I
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: would have liked, But I think what today showed is
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: once again the power of team. You know, our defense
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: was not playing the way that we're capable of playing,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: and our offense played great. You know, they played great
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: in the second half, and we ran the ball. We
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: went for a fourth and two, we made it, and
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: it just shows you how important it is to just
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: stay together as a team. Never point fingers. Just keep grinding,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: keep believing, keep working. And I'm proud of those guys.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Obviously there's films a review, but does this feel more
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: like the run game that you hope to see from
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the guys that you haven't seen in a few weeks.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And it started with the very first play with
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: mel breaking that one, and we broke some long ones.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: We had some explosives, you know, but we got to
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: do better on defense. We can't give them what we
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: gave them today. We gave them a long pass at
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the end of the game. We gave him a long
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: run for a touchdown on fourth and one. I mean,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: those things are unacceptable. I know we'll get them cleaned up,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: but you know, right now, it's just about enjoying the win.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Now we get to go on the road. You know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: we got three road games to start at UiB a
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: week from tomorrow, and we just got to get focused
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: on that.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Carsten Cassidy is a guy as the season has gone on,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: swapping new guys in. What did you see out of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: him at center?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: It's hard to tell. It's hard for me to tell
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: what was going on at center, but I know we
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: ran the ball well and I think we protected pretty well,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: so that bodes well for him. Hopefully we get West back.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: You know, West brained his ankle last week at the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: end of the game, and you know, Carson can play
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: both guards and he can play center. Needed a hell
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: of a job as far as I could tell.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: And lastly, Senior Day, it's a little wonky being a
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: month out from the end of the season, But how
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: do you think they did managing their emotions and coming
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: out ready to have that opening snap.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I think they did well. I mean, I think just
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the start of the game showed that they were able to,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: you know, handle the emotion of seeing you know, moms
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and dads and aunts and uncles and grandparents and sisters,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of emotional. And I know a lot
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: of those guys were emotional, especially the guys that have
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: been here a long long time. But they came back
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: in here and they got refocused and we went out
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and you know, we we got to stop on defense,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and we went down and scored on offense. And that's
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: what it's supposed to look like.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Congrats on the wind. Will see in Birmingham.
