  The three was the final What was the vibe from the group in there when
• 0:04
  you got in the locker room, were able to address them. They're just
• 0:07
  excited to win and excited to win, you know for our seniors playing their
• 0:11
  last game at the Rent. Yeah, there are a number of guys that
• 0:16
  really were able to contribute here today. But I think some of the guys
• 0:20
  we don't normally talk about, like a nouel for Nieu, but what does
• 0:23
  he meant? You know, we talked about the offensive line that really paved
• 0:26
  the way today, but he's one of those anchors. Yeah, nobody ever
• 0:29
  really talks about those guys, and that's probably good thing because that means they're
• 0:32
  doing a good job. But no, I mean no, I mean everyone
• 0:36
  loves him and he's done a great job for us here for a number of
• 0:38
  years, and he's you know, all these guys have hung in through some
• 0:41
  really tough times and always exhibited a great attitude and he's just you know,
• 0:47
  when we talked about our seniors this week in our meetings, and you just
• 0:52
  could feel the respect for a guy like that, or the respect for a
• 0:55
  guy like Will Meyer. He's a walk on. It's Viner's whole career,
• 0:58
  and I don't know that he's ever seen the field, and you know,
• 1:00
  we were desperately trying to get him on the field there so you could have
• 1:03
  that experience. We weren't able to do it, which was unfortunate. But
• 1:07
  our players have a lot of respect for each other, the group as a
• 1:12
  whole. It seems like they have fun in an environment like this when they're
• 1:17
  winning and having fun. And I couldn't help but notice on a near punt
• 1:21
  block del Mont Gorddyne came over and you had a big smile on your face.
• 1:23
  What was going on between you two. I've told them a story about
• 1:29
  my college career in the Rose Bowl when I had a chance to block a
• 1:34
  punt and I missed it by just a whisper, and so they said,
• 1:38
  I'm andy were We were laughing about kind of the similarities there. I mean,
• 1:42
  this wasn't quite the Rose Bowl, but same type of situation. So
• 1:46
  we were kind of reliving that moment. One of the guys that you've talked
• 1:49
  about, and it's not a senior, as a freshman, Kylie Hicks is
• 1:52
  someone over the last two years and finally gets a moment and was able to
• 1:56
  convert on a touchdown. Well, I think he's a tough player. I
• 1:57
  think he's a physical player. I think he's a talented player. And you
• 2:01
  know, we need to keep getting him action and getting in the ball.
• 2:05
  And he's proven to me your block, you know, he can catch it
• 2:09
  in tough situations. He just has to play so he becomes more comfortable what
• 2:15
  he's doing and being consistent doing what he's supposed to do. But I really
• 2:17
  like the kid, and Class one defensive line is a unit here today.
• 2:22
  What they were able to do limiting that run game, it sure seemed like
• 2:24
  one of their better performances. Yeah, I mean they kind of stopped trying
• 2:29
  to run the ball after a while and throwing it. But you know,
• 2:30
  we're did a pretty good job up front with our defensive line and defensive front
• 2:35
  seven. And that involves a safety a lot of time too. So just
• 2:38
  a defense played well. Coach, congrats on the win. All right,
• 2:39
  thanks, all right, Zach, back to you.
