  Speaker 1: Down three at the half and you guys come out
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: with the win here on the road at Boston College.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: What did you see out of your group in the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: final thirty minutes.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Just toughness, mental toughness, resilience, the will to win, conviction
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: and what we're doing discipline. I mean, you know, all
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: those coach things that are really true, and I don't
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: think there was ever any doubt, you know, that we
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: were going to keep competing. It was just could we
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: get over the hump and get a win and we
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: did so. It felt really good and really proud of
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the players for the way they responded to you know,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: kind of a bad end to the first half. You know,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: we couldn't convert on offense, we gave up a touch
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: on defense, they could have captured mole menum, but we
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: were able to get it back with that first drive
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: on offense. In the second half.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Joe Finnano had and as we talked about one seventy
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: five in the first half, he through for almost two
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: hundred in the second half. I mean, was that as
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: complete as sixty minutes have we've seen from the past game.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I would have to say so. I mean, just from
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a protection standpoint, guys catching the ball, making hard catches,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: getting guys wide open, and Joe connect and he looked
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: very confident, and our receivers look confident. Our line, our
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: offensive line is doing really that's a good defense front
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: and we did a nice job. So, you know, we
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: kind of made the decision there kind of early in
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the game that hey, we're going to throw it to
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: win today, you know, And I've talked about balance before.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Balance to me is if you have to throw it
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to win, you throw it to win. If to run
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: it to win, you run it to win. And we
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: were able to do that today.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Juice Faren a couple of touchdown catches. I mean, what
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: is his growth look like this year?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: It's been coming, you know, and it hasn't necessarily shown
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: up like it did today. And I just was so
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: happy for him. You know, we had some of those
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: things that were designed for him and we were able
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to hit him. And he's a really good football player
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and he's made some good plays for us, but there's
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: what's been some that have been just so close, you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: and I think this could be hopefully a breakthrough for him.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Seven zacs to day for the defense, just it feels
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: like yes, it feels like more of the same with
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that kind of pressure. So if you're saying you didn't
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: know that, did the pressure feel on par with what
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you would hope for.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Well, seven sacks. I had no idea that it was that,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: you know. I know Brian Parham had a few again
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and I think some others, but that's that's an impressive number.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: So you know, we got to keep doing that. Part
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: of that's good coverage, you know, and making him hold
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the football, and part of it's good design of the pressures.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: And then absolutely you know, executed well and you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: rushing with your hair on fire, you know, just trying
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: to go get that guy and not being denied. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: so I'm proud of our guys for playing that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Way and for Brian Parham. Last one here, fourteen tackles
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a couple of acts disrupting all sorts of things out there.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, talk about picking up a guy from the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: West Coast and having an immediate impact.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Long Beach Baby, he's from the LBC. He went to
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Long Beach Poli. It's a you know, it's a great
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: football factory school. He's a great kid. I'm so happy
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: he's here. He just brings joy, he brings energy, he
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: brings great play. He's really turned into a fine leader.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And you know, we knew he was a well coached
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: kid coming from his background, and just to have him
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: step in and do the things he's doing, it's just
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: so proud of him, you know. I mean, he made
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: a tough decision last year to red shirt and sit
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: out of football, and he came back with a vengeance
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: this year.
• 2:53
