  Speaker 1: A lot of adversity overcome today. How important is a
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: win like this for you in your program and putting
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a corner piece into the foundation a.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Huge ability to stay the course. You know you're winning
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: the game for the majority of it. They obviously got
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: and tied it up. But even though obviously not playing
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: our best football offensively, defense kept us in it and
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: they played their tails off offensively, found a way to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: have seventy five yards rushing in the second half, which
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: obviously we didn't have much in the first ETM played
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: his tail off and then those guys make a play
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: at the end of the game versus zero blitz and
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: it got it, you know, in a huge moment. So
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: very proud of this group. They played their tails off
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: and kept competing.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Coach.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: The resilience factor, not just with Brian Thomas and the
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: receivers with all the drops, but also the defense. Yeah,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I had a chance to put it away late last week,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: came back and did it this week. What kind of
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: confidence can that build for such a young roster.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Huge They should take so much confident from this, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: especially defensively, as you mentioned, Tyson Campbell you know gets
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: hit on the double move and then comes back right.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: It makes a huge play playing through the hands on
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: a potential explosive play. You know the fact that we
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: take the ball away as much as we have and
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: give us so many opportunities to go and have extra possessions.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: You know, you talk about finishing a game the right way.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was not pretty. It was not for
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: us offensively, but you can take, we can take, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we should take a ton of confidence from this to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to go clean up. We got to clean up the mistakes.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: We got to play better and work on the drops
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and all that. But man, I'm really proud of this
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: group in the way that they competed and finish this game.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Specifically for Brian obviously the drops. Early he's getting booed,
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: throws his helmet on the sideline. How big was that
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: forty six yard catch? Hues, you saw all the emotion
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: he afterwards. I mean, just had to get him on
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: the right track totally.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I mean I thought it was trending. You know, early
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: on he goes up on the fade and he makes
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: a great effort and you're like, dang, okay, even come
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: down with it. But man, like it looks like it's
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: obviously trending. And then I thought when we had the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: third and I think it was like fourteen where we
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: had the illegal shift where he caught he had a good, big,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: big time catch. I think that would have got him going.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: It was like every time he had an opportunity to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: almost get things rolling, something negative occurred. So you know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: just talk to him in the locker room and just
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you know, really proud of the way that he finished.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: You know, that was a huge play in a big
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: time moment, so you know, we got to get it
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: cleaned up. But he should absolutely take confidence from that
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: play and be able to continue to go forward.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Ali, Jordan Lewis continues to make big plays for you guys.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Is it kind of hard to really measure the impact
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: he's had on a defense last year that really was
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: kind of lost.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, he is, you know, by far, one of you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: one of our best leaders in our organization. Was in
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: my office Wednesday morning at you know, seven am talking
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: to me about some things and the mentality that Jordan
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: has that he competes with, that he spreads his word
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: and our word to the rest of the guys. He's infectious,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: he really is. He's a he's a pros pro. But
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: he's not going to just be quiet about it. I mean,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: he wants to reach everybody that he's involved with, not
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: not just the defense, offense and teams. So he's really
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: proud of Jordan's can't you know, so happy to have
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: him obviously, but you know, he's definitely a catalyst for us.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: When you're just starting as a new head coach, what
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: does a win like this do for you when it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: not going right but then all of a sudden at
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: the end it does.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it had some You had a little bit of
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: an eerie feeling, almost kind of like last week in
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: a way where you're like, oh god, you know they're
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: moving it a little. But I actually I was kind
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: of a little no, I don't want to say yelling
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: during that last drive, but I was probably a little frustrated,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and Camp is like, dude, we got it, relax, you
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? But it was great. It was
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: gave me confidence and the way that they were playing.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I wasn't questioning whether they were going to get a stop,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: but you're starting to see it get moved down the field.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: But there's no flinch really out of that group. I
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: mean last week was obviously disappointed to not finish it
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: on the right end and to see them go out
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and take this win, to go take it from them,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: and that's what we did. Hey William, three games now
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: seeing Josh now in action and today obviously with the tip.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: At the end, just what have you seen from him
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and how important has he been to this defense?
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Huge.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, like we kind of said during the week,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: it hasn't quite shown in every stat book, but his
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: presence what he does in terms of affecting the game,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: both in the run in the past has been and
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: really something that's helped us out to get other people
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to be able to get pressures and the way that
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: he affects the game, but also just his practice habits,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: man like, the way Josh practices, the way that he
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: is in the meeting setting, the way that he lifts,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the way that he does everything is really what we're
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: trying to continue to do as a program and really
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: proud and happy for that defense, especially for Josh.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And Josh was incredibly consistent from the start, had a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: hit on Stroud I think on their second play, drew
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: numerous holds. It just seemed like throughout the entire game,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and then obviously makes the tip at the end that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Antonio gets to pick on, but just can you talk
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: about how rare it is to see a defensive end
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: effect a game from basically the first play to the last.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: That's a great point he did. He was they started fast.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, we elected to defer for kind of that reason. Honestly,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: it was just to kind of get our defense out
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: there and let them go start fast and affect the game.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And those guys did that Josh the length. But it's
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: also it's just his strain and the way. I'm not
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: taking anything away from his athletic ability, his talents, how
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: hard he's worked, but it's the way that he plays
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: his strain, his finish even if he doesn't win on
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: a rush, he does. Those guys really up front and
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: all done a nice job of getting their hands up
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and affecting the past game in different ways. So really,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was pretty emotional in there and excited
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and juiced up. So hopefully it's a sign to keep
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: moving forward. Liam wooded to say to you the running game,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: just being able to get it going in the second
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: half after starting a little slow. Yeah, I mean early
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: in the first half, we had a bunch of runs called,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and then they had some blitzes and different look They
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: came out in a five big package to our twelve personnel,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: which was unscouted. We need to do adjust to that
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: at halftime, which we did, and obviously we're able to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: get it going a little bit. I probably had too many,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: you know, so some of those runs and eleven personnel,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: they're bringing Petrie off the edge, and we had some
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: screens and some things. The one that was tipped earlier
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: in the game when we were on like the minus
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: thirty that was verse zero. That thing was gonna be
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: a huge play, but we didn't end up getting it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: So called a lot more runs that ended up getting
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: actually executed just because of some of the defensive structures
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: and looks that they were presenting. And then in the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: second half, like I said, I thought our coaches did
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: a nice job adjusting, communicating those adjustments and being able
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: to get some dirty yards in the second half when
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: we needed to run the ball.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Trevor seems frustrated at times with guys not being lined
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: up right. Yeah, he's not getting in quick enough. But yeah,
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: how do you think he fought through all that?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Diami goes down, right, and we
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: were kind of going into this week, this game with
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a little bit more for Parker based off of last
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: week right in the way that he practiced all week,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: and you know, we kind of catch the drop bug
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: a little bit, and so your confidence just as a quarterback, right, Like,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: it wasn't the timing and rhythm, some of this stuff
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: wasn't on. Wasn't there early, and then when it is there,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: you know we're not catching it, and then so you
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: start to force it a little bit. Specifically that third
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: down you know, interception probably a force but man I
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: was very proud that. Yeah, he was frustrated. We're all
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: frustrated on the sidelines and communicating, but there really was
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: none of this at all. It was just accountability. Let's
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: just go play the next play. And then in a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: critical moment, that play to BT was all Trevor in
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: terms of the can like that was a run play
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: that they had saw blitz on zero blitz. He gets
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: out of the play we had a run on. He
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: gets out of it, fixes the protection, picks it up,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and then we execute the you know, kind of skinny
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: that we had in there, and BT comes ripping in
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the window, he delivers it on time. I mean, yeah,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: it was a very frustrating outing and a lot of ways, man,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: But I'm hoping and we're hopeful that a moment like
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: this can maybe do this for us and help us
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: go to the next level in terms of understanding truly
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: what it takes to throw and catch at a consistent level.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, Thank you, guys.
