• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously, you know it was I felt like a
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: slow start, but a good win, a good team win.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: It's a again, like I said, not the way we
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: wanted to start on offense, but I feel like our
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: defense and our special teams kept us in the game.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know we we did enough in the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: second half as an offense too to win the game.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Say, you guys had four conversions of the third and
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: or in.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: This game, And just how big was Dad and the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: scheme of things when you guys had some plays to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: send you back to be behind the chains, to be
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: able to move the ball like that.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's huge.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: You know, it's uh something that you know, we've been
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: working on a ton. It's just kind of that that
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: third and longer. And I felt like our guys really
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: stepped up. Our offensive line blocked their butts off all
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: all game. We had a lot of guys in the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: skill you know, in the skill group step up and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: make some huge plays as well. So just a great
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: all round effort by those guys on on those third
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: downs last few games. You think you.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Two different hundred yard rushers, How big it is?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, it's uh It's awesome, man. And then
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: just the way that we ended it, you know, to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to have that four minute drive and kind of seal
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the deal with that touchdown there late.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: That was, Uh, that was huge for us to end
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the end the game that way.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: J Barner got to fifty receptions and fight under receiving
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: yards today, and well, how much is it meant to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: this offense for him to take that text step as
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a pass catcher here in.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: A second season. Yeah, it's huge.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You know, we we all know what Aj is capable of,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you know, so so confident in him, in him as
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. Obviously, he does a lot of stuff that
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: people don't see, you know, things that don't aren't gonna
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: show up in the stat sheet. But he does a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: great job you know, in the past game as well
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: when we need him to. And uh, he stepped up
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: in a big way for us there today. The the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: play that they called the fumble when you got hit,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you know that just what happened on that what you see? Yeah, Well,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I mean I I dropped the ball, you know, which
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: again like I'm just trying to drop it. I felt
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: like I was still in the pocket, So I felt
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: like I had a good, good base and I was
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: in the right spot to be able to make that throw.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You know, the defense just made a good play, got
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: their got their hand on my forearm or elbow, and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: uh yeah kind of is what it is the.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Tackle that you made there for it last time if
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you've done that, Uh yeah, I can't remember the last
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: time I did that. You know.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: It was it was fun, you know, but obviously it's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: not It's not what we want to be doing as
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a quarterback.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be making tackles out there.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, it was. It was you know, kind
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of a throwback there to high school when I was
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: playing linebacker.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: So those for the rest of the season.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, that's what you know, I was kind
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of alluding to there. It is just like to I
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: feel like we've had a few four minute drives, uh
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you know previously throughout the year where you know, we've
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: we've given the ball back and our defense you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: has has stepped up all year. But for us to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you know, have that drive, have a great drive in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that four minute offense to to put the game away,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: like I said, it's it's huge for us, you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: just moving forward to your defense one.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Play after a turnover, go back and get the ball.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: That Yeah, what kind of man. Yeah, it's unbelievable.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It's our defense has been doing that all year. They've
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: been stepping up and in such a huge way, especially
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: for me, like that turnover, I just gotta, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: move on to my progression and or at least just
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: make us or nobody thrower Jackson go up and get
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: it or it's incomplete. So you know, our defense has
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: had our back all year and vice versa. You know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: when when we feel like, you know, we need to spark,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: our offenses stepped up, you know, in big ways as well.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: So it's just a complimentary football, you know, all season
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: long and in this one especially here at.

• 3:49
  Speaker 1: got against him a couple of times.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he's obviously a.
• 3:54
