  Speaker 1: Zach, Given how much the running game struggled to kind
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: of get going last week, to be able to almost
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: get to one hundred yards today and score twice, how
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: big was that for your guys performance today? Yeah, that's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: on the coach McDonald and you know he's talking about
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: just the run game is a softening process.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: So we kind of just stuck with that. Started a
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: little still in the first half, but you know, the
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: line kept attacking and we're able to just keep it going.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, to be able to put together that ninety eight
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: yard drive at the end, I mean, given how long
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it had been since you guys have kind of really
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: got to drive going to be able to cap it
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and put the game away with that sort of a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: finishing touch on it, what was that like for you guys. Yeah,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: we always talk about closing the gate, so you know,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: for the offense, that was kind of our moment right there,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to be able to close the gate and go put
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: seven and you know, just be on that attack right there.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And you know, I think we did a great job.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Defense played a great game today. You know, even after that,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: they just continue to keep getting stops all day. So
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I give a lot of credit to the defense.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: If you got in the defense.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Happened in the opener too, where there's a turnover deep
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: in your territory and your defense.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Just gets a quick stop.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: How much does that kind of.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Lift everybody up? Yeah? Definitely. I mean, like I said,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I give all credit to the defense today. You know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: they're able to just keep us in the game. And offense,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you know, we just stay poised, stayed with it. A
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff we got to keep working on on
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the offensive side. But you know, like once again, I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: just want to give a lot of credit to the defense.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Or touchdowns in three games, you're getting kind of used
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to finding the ins in there.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the plan, you know, whatever it takes, you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: it's just my mindset.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Was it good for you to see Kenny get a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: couple of carries are late, given the struggles he's kind
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of had with the injuries and stuff last year, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to can finally get a chance to play a little
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: bit today.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. I mean, that's the guy who continues to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: work hard, and you know, he keeps showing up every
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: week in practice. So you know, it's always great to
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: see any running back get out there and continue to perform.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So you know, I love Kenny and love the work
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: he's punting. So good to see that exactly you run,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: just can you take us through that?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: You go outside, then you see the ends oe including
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: nobody who's going to stop you on the second.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Touchdown there, Yeah, I mean we just had to do
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it on hill and hit it out the front side,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and all to do is make one got missed. You know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: as a running back, that's all you can ask for
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: is on one on one. So, like I said, give
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of credit to line and tight ends, especially
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: in that blocking scheme right there, and just allow me
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to just get a one on one. What they're state
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of this team?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Er?
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I mean three?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Now you guys probably feel like you haven't played your
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: best football yet, but still be three and knows how
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you feeling about this team?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we feel really good. But like we say all
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the time, you know, we just got to keep sacking
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and now we're looking forward to next week.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Anything specific about Ryan Grubbs run game, it has.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: A lot of your flourish if you have to see
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: anything about Ryan Grubbs run concept, so they'll have a
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: lot of you to flourish the season you have. Yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I mean we got a lot of different stuff, a
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: lot of different motions on top of that, so there's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of misdirection, and you know that just allows
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: to continue attack and go downhill.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: You've seen guys more getting disdirected with this season than
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: were last season.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I would say it depends on the situation, but yeah,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: definitely situational.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Your coach said last week that you guys need to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: find yours.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: They're calling card to run, getting to.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Find out what you guys do.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Guys do you think you show me people? What did
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: you do guys today? In that same case, now, I mean,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I think we're still building on it. You know, there's
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: still a lot we can get better on. I think
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I still missed a couple of roads. So as a collective,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you know, we're just gonna keep pushing and keep getting
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: better in that aspect.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Anything else, Thank you, thanks, act appreciate it.
