• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes tomorrow morning. From Monday, October twenty eighth,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, tom Or. The Michigan State game is
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: in five days, the game against Michigan in thirty three days.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Both of those games still going to be very significant
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty four Ohio State football team, thanks
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: in large part to the fact that they ended up
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: winning a nail bier against Wisconsin on Saturday twenty one
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to seventeen inside the Horseshoe, not a thing of beauty,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: but also not a loss. So any win this time
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of year feels like a good win for just about
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: any college football team, especially with as crazy as the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: rest of the top of the sport has gotten this year.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So today we're going to be taking a little bit
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: of a look back at that win over Nebraska and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: what it might mean moving forward. Going to be doing
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: that with the help of Ryan Day and Will Howard
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: some interesting stuff they had to say in the postgame
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: press conference. We're gonna end also with one of the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: best coach press conferences I've ever been a part of
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that with the Matt Ruhle postgame press conference is going
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to let you just hear his opening statement trust me,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you're going to want to stick around for that. All right.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: So let's start with Ohio State head coach Ryan Day
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: coming off of loss to Oregon. Coming off of the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: week off, he said he wanted to see his team
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: play with fight. Did he think that he saw that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: on Saturday?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just the way, you know, we went out
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter and won the game. That's something
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: we talked about, you know, and the those those that
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: off week and digesting the Oregon game, it's like, you know,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: it's one day and have stats.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: It's one thing to you know.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: You know, get turnovers and everything like that, but at
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, you got to win the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: game in the fourth quarter.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: So we're down by three in the fourth quarter, we
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: put a drive together, score a touchdown, and then defense,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: you know, get stops like that. Like that, to me
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: is what we got to do if we're going to.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Win these games.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And you know, the truth is, we don't always find
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: ourselves in games like that. Now we're going to look
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: back and find that, you know, we should not be
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: in games like that like this quite honestly. I mean
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: that's just the way we look at it.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: But we are there.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: You know, give Nebraska credit and Matt and you know
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the job they did. They you know, had a hard
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: time the week before we knew they were going to
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: come out and playoffs really hard.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: You know, that's that's playing in the Big Ten.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: But but to me, that was the idea, Like I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: kept saying that go win.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: How are we going to win the game?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: We talked about that in the off season or on
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the off week. We did that so that we can
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: build on. But certainly, if we're going to go one
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: for ten on third down, if we're going to run
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the football the way we did in this game, you
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: know we're going to be in a tough spot in
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: terms of putting the defense in the situations they were in,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and and also the turnover. So but I do like
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the way we kept playing even after you know, a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: couple of unfortunate things that went on. We got to
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: leave no doubt. We can't leave it up to a call.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And and that mentality is what we kept talking about
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: in the crowd. You know, got into it there in
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and helped for sure. So I think,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: you know, being in these situations for this team is
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: going to help move forward.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: There were definitely some struggles for the Ohio State offensive
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: line during the game. Were those a result of Nebraska
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: showing things that the Buckeyes hadn't seen before or just
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: execution issues?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got I got to go back and watch
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the film and figure out out myself, like a little
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: bit of both, quite honestly. And it's not good enough.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: And we gotta be able run the football. We didn't
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: do that today, and that's that's why we put the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: defense in bad spots. That's why we were one for
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: ten on third down and one for two and fourth downs.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So I do think that, you know, it's good to
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: see us put together that drive. We were explosive in
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the past game, you know, and we'll threw some balls
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: down the field, but the turnover put us in a
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: really bad spot on the spot on defense. So but
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I really like the way the defense played. I thought
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: we played with energy, we played with fire, We kept
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: fighting even though there were some tough spots early in
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: One of the things that may have played into the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: struggles on the offensive line is injuries. Josh Shreman's already
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: out for the season based in an injury he suffered
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: in the Oregon game, and then part way through this game,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Zen Mahalski, the backup left tackle, he also went down
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: with what looked like it could be a potentially significant injury.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: They ended up moving Donovan Jackson out to left tackle
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and sliding Luke Montgomery in at left guard in the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: closing moments of that game just to seal the Nebraska game.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Is that going to be the move going forward as well?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Donovan Jackson at left tackle.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to talk about it and figure it out.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: We knew that if that happened in a game, that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: was our answer and solution to get out of the game.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Now we're gonna have to go back and figure out
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: what's next.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: During last Tuesday's press conference, Ryan Day said they were
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: going to be launching balls downfield during the week.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: How did that go?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: So when I said that in the cut press cords,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I meant launching balls on our defense, I think it
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: was perceived the other way, which I was kind of
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a little nervous because I knew we were going to
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: launch balls in this game. But we did because I
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: remember saying to myself, did I talk about the offense
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: that way? Because we were planning on taking some shots
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: in this game. We did, but yeah, no, I thought
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: that the execution on the throw and catch to Carnell
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and the big ball was big. And then the one
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: that Jeremiah was really well executed timing was right, good throw,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: a great catch, And then coming out, I thought that
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: that was a good call by Chip on the first
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: down we could. We struggled running the ball to set
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: up that play action passed down the sideline of Carnell
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: which kind of got us into plus territory and then
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: allowed us to score. So I thought that part was
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: a positive coming out.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: The Ohio Say defense had a much stronger performance on
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Saturday than they did in the loss to Oregon. One
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of the big reasons for that was senior linebacker Cody Simon,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Captain BLOCKO Jersey recipient in a close game, very dramatic game.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: He lived up to all of the awards and honors.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: He has received eight tackles pre tackles for loss. The
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: reporter who asked Ryan Day about him said he almost
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: played like he was possessed.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you used that word.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: That was a word that we talked about coming in,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: just being possessed and playing that way and that's that's
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the mentality that he took coming into the game. And
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: you know, I thought we played that way on defense.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: He played angry, he played possessed. Guys are running around
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: all over the place, and that's the way we got
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to play all the time. And so now we got
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to do that again this week. You know, it can't
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: just be you know, one week, you know, and then
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the next week it's it's different. Has to be consistent
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: week after week after week. And that starts with our
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: week of preparation. I thought we had a good week
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: of preparation. I thought the coaches did a good job.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: We got in there, we figured out what we wanted
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: to get done, We practiced hard, we pushed all the buttons,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and so you know, we want a game on defense here,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: which which was great.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: This was the first time that Ohio State has gotten
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a real scare this year, outside of, of course, the Oregon game,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: where it was a full sixty minute game. This was
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a surprise game, a little bit
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of a clunker, if we're going to be honest. But
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: what was going through Ryan Day's head when they were
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: down three with about ten minutes left to go in
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: No, I just you know, what do we got to
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: do to get going? And then you know, we got
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to we got to find a way to win the
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: game in the fourth quarter. And that feeling that you're
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: talking about right there is where when we find ourselves
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: in these matchup games, it's almost like the first time
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you're in those in that feeling Okay, like, how do
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: we got to go do this? Well, we got to
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: get the guys together, you know, figure out how we're
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: going to go win the game, and then go do it.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And you know, part of it is for the coaches
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: to put the players in the right situation to be successful. Well,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: part of it is the players to go win the game,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and it's our job as coaches to make sure we
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: give them the right environment to go take over the game.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And I thought we did that today.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: On defense, earlier mentioned the injuries on the offensive line,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and that is certainly playing some kind of a part
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: in the issues that they're having up front. But was
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day expecting more out of the offensive line on Saturday?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, we need to run the football. I think
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: we ran the ball for sixty four yards and twenty
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: four was up from will So that's not even close
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: to good enough. So we're averaging under three yards of
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: carry with Quinnchawn and Trevion. That's not getting it done.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: We got to do better than that.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Zen Maholski was asked to step in for Josh Shimmans
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: as the left tackle and he did up until the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: point of that injury. But it was not a great
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: day for him altogether. He definitely had some rough moments.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Did the coaching staff think about pulling him at any point?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I felt like for his first start, he had to
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: play through it. You know, didn't want to, you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: panic and just pull them out because you know, it's
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: your first start, so there's some things you're going through.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: It's some.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: You know, whether it's you know, first time jitters or
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: whatever it might be. You know, you're pressing and you're
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: trying to get your feet underneath you. So we wanted
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: him to play through that and see how that went.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: We'll see how he is now after the game.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Now onto Ohio State starting quarterback Will Howard. He had
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to lead his team to a come from behind win.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: A's a couple of times in the last couple of
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: weeks that he has had to have some fourth quarter dramatics,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and this time it worked out. They ended up coming
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: out with the win in the fourth quarter. What was
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: that like to have to come from behind in a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: game where you weren't necessarily expecting.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: To Yeah, you know, I think it wasn't perfect, but
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: a win is a win, and we were able to
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: show that, you know, when the going gets tough and
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: when you know maybe things aren't going our way, we're
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: able to win the fourth quarter. And I think our
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: defense did an unbelievable job, you know, of getting some stops,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: making some really big plays in that fourth quarter and
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: getting us getting us a chance to go down there
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: and put that last one in and give us give
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: us the lead.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: In the second half of that game, the Ohigh State
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: offense was, let's be honest, kind of a little bit
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: of a mess. Here was their drive chart. Three plays
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: seven yards punt, one play zero yards, an interception, three
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: plays eight yards punt, three plays eight yards punt, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: then when they fell down and they were down by
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: three points, eight plays seventy five yards touchdown, they go
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: ahead touchdown there three plays minus six yards punt and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: then the three neal thousands at the end of the game.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: So Okay, you spent the entire second half not being
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: able to do anything, it seemed, and then when you
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: absolutely positively had to have something, eight play, seventy five
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: yards touchdown. So what was the difference in that touchdown
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: drive versus all the others in the second half?
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: First first down, man, that's what we talked about. We
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: got to get that first first down. And you know,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: the first play, I thought it was a great play call,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: you know, versus their core They're running cover three again
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: on that play, and it was it was perfect. You know,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Carnell did a good job getting some extra yards. And
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: once we had that, you know, I felt like there
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: wasn't any stopping us. And then once we kind of
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: get momentum going, man like, it's that's that's what we need,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: and we need to just get that first first down,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: one or two first downs. And then once we get that,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: we got to get rolling. We can't we can't stall out.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: We're way too explosive of an offense to stall out
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: like we did in the third quarter.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And the last thing I want to let you hear
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: from Will Howard was a little bit forward looking. Will Howard,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of course, a native of Pennsylvania, came out of high school,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: went to go play at Kansas State. Now with the Buckeyes,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: now he gets to go back to his home state
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: take on his home state school, Penn State. What are
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: his thoughts on that.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I'm stoked. I'm stoked. I cannot wait. It's gonna be
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: a homecoming for me. I grew up a Penn State fan.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I wanted to go there my whole life. They didn't
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: think I was good enough, but I guess we'll see
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: next week if I was great.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you very much, thank you.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And I mentioned this earlier. I mentioned this a couple
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: times last week as well, how much I enjoy listening
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: to Matt Ruhle talk about football. The Huskers did not
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: end up coming out with a win. They're still sitting
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: on five wins this season, still need one more to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: get Bowl eligible for the first time in close to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a decade. But I just thought this was such a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: really deep and introspective opening statement. This is in a
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: lot of times the opening statement from coaches is just hey,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: thanks to the fans, and you know, here's what we
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: did on offense, here's what we did on defense. This
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: is a little bit more big picture and Frankly, it
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: feels like you could apply this to other areas of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: life if you wanted to.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: So I just want to let.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: You hear just a few minutes of Matt Ruhle talking
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: about that game.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Well, first credit to a house state. They made the
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: drive in the fourth quarter, made the players on defense
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: they needed to do to win the game. I always
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: have to be very careful with what I say because
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: people take things I say and sometimes here something else.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Because my wife tells me I don't communicate the best sometimes,
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: so I have to make sure I say this the
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: right way. As you go through this. The hardest part
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: of what we did when we went to Temple and
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: what we did when we went to Baylor was getting
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: guys not to say, oh, here we go again, and
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: getting guys not to expect to lose, getting everyone cleaning
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: the people around the program focus on always on what's wrong,
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: but what's right right, And that's hard right you're constantly
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: talking to your staff, your coaches, players. Last week was
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: a low for us since we've been here, because the
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: minute the game got hard, we kind of looked around like,
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: oh no, what's happening to us? Kind of victims like yeah,
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: this is happening to us. And this was a hard week.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: This was a hard week, but a week that I
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: knew because of my experiences, we would turn into something good.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: We would teach. The players would see us. Instead of
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: us being defensive as things are said, they would see
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: us stand like men. You know, anyone can anyone can
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: just be defensive, like just stand like men in front
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: of them. Not blaming the players, but work hand in
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: hand with them. And we expected to come here and
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: win the football game. I'm expected to win, and so
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: I say this to me, it's so hard because you
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: don't want it to be. It sound like a moral
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: victory because we lost, and we're not here to lose.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: But the universe, Nebraska, we're not here to lose. But
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: in terms of the development and growth of what you're
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: trying to build. Because while the world and everyone wants
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: things to happen quickly, if you want it to be sustainable,
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: if you want it to be to last forever, you
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: you have to do it the right way. I get
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: asked a lot of questions about, you know, we aren't
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: we doing it this way? That day we're trying to
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: build something sustainable, Maybe it'll work maybe it won't. Who knows.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: You know, a lot of you guys have seen a
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: lot of guys come here trying to do it and
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: it hasn't worked. So I'm trying it a different way.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: I was proud of that football team today.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I was proud they.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Didn't back down. They had some r really tough breaks.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: They had some things really go against them, even the
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: way we started, and they competed. It was the first time.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: It's the first time so first time since I've been
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: here that I felt a championship mindset in the locker room.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: Along with the championship mindset, as those who compete, no
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: comes utter disappointment when you lose, So that part's hard.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: It's hard for the guys. But I saw a group
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: of guys, you know, even at the very end, take
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: the field, going out there to make one more play,
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: have a chance to compete against one of the best
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: teams in the country.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: So I thought they grew up.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: I challenge them it better look this way next week.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Some of the football still tough. It's hard, you know,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: you're literally you know, you have some of our administrators
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: that they hear me on the field. I'm still you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: you got some young guys out there. You're still coaching
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: things out there in the middle of the game that
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: in a year or two you you hope that it's
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: it's second nature. It's just what it is. But for
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: those of us, for those of us who believe in
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: the long way, the hard way, for those of us
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: who haven't had things handed to us, for those of
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: us who believe in building, for those people who believe
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: and put in on an honest day's work, like I hope,
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: I hope, I hope while they're disappointed, they're proud of
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: what they saw, of what they competed. And while I
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: yelled at the officials sometimes and all that are play,
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: didn't let it bother Our players just continue to beat
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: the compete. I thought we play with class and dignity.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: We had a chance to win. So I know that's long, Well,
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: it's hard. I don't say that to justify what we're doing.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: I'm saying that so our players, so our players will
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: understand why I'm so proud, not satisfying.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: That's very very very important.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: There are no moral victories, but proud, but proud.
