- 0:00Speaker 1: Coach, what do you say to the team, Obviously they're
- 0:03Speaker 1: all fired up. What do you have to say to
- 0:04Speaker 1: them after this one?
- 0:05Speaker 2: Well, that's called the character win, you know, And that's
- 0:08Speaker 2: why we work hard all off season, and that's why
- 0:10Speaker 2: we practice as hard as we do, and that's why
- 0:12Speaker 2: we pay attention to the details because you're going to
- 0:14Speaker 2: get in games like that. You know, you can't judge
- 0:17Speaker 2: any team by their record, You just judge them by
- 0:19Speaker 2: the way they play. On game to end, Temple played fantastic.
- 0:22Speaker 2: They played tough, they played hard, they played physical. Their
- 0:25Speaker 2: defense was outstanding. We were not at our best, but
- 0:27Speaker 2: that you know what. I don't want to take anything
- 0:29Speaker 2: away from what Temple did. But that's why you defend
- 0:32Speaker 2: every single blade of grass, you know, So something like
- 0:34Speaker 2: that can happen and you come in here four and
- 0:36Speaker 2: two instead of three and three.
- 0:38Speaker 1: The last two plays, third and one from the half
- 0:40Speaker 1: inch line, fourth and goal from the half inch line.
- 0:43Speaker 1: What did you see about that group that front seven,
- 0:45Speaker 1: whatever it was to get the job done.
- 0:48Speaker 2: A look in their eye that I see almost every
- 0:50Speaker 2: day like we're going to get it done. Enough is enough?
- 0:53Speaker 2: Put you know, put your trust in us. We'll get
- 0:56Speaker 2: it done. You know, you look at Jilani, and you
- 0:58Speaker 2: look at Dow, and you look at two, and you
- 1:00Speaker 2: look at Jayden, and you look at Darante, and you
- 1:02Speaker 2: look at the league and you look at these guys
- 1:03Speaker 2: that you know, you've gotten to know very well, and
- 1:06Speaker 2: something just told me that they weren't going to get in,
- 1:08Speaker 2: you know, and they just we were determined. And you know,
- 1:11Speaker 2: Coach Brock he talks about defate, defending every single blade
- 1:14Speaker 2: of grass. They're never in the end zone till they're
- 1:16Speaker 2: in the end zone. And that's what we did, and
- 1:18Speaker 2: we made the play. And I mean, this is pretty exciting.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously it's football. Injuries happen at the stage of
- 1:24Speaker 1: the season, but in the game, getting a couple of
- 1:26Speaker 1: guys knocked out, so it's someone stepping up. Brett Buckman
- 1:30Speaker 1: had just one catch coming in. What did you see
- 1:32Speaker 1: out of Brett here today?
- 1:34Speaker 2: Well, he's I mean, he was a captain today. He
- 1:36Speaker 2: earned it. I mean, his blocking has been fabulous. We
- 1:39Speaker 2: know what kind of receiver is. You know, he had
- 1:41Speaker 2: to step in a little bit for Skyler. Skyler played
- 1:43Speaker 2: off and on, but I don't think he was near
- 1:45Speaker 2: one hundred percent that was a pretty good ankle Sprain.
- 1:49Speaker 2: You know, you love guys like Brett because they're you know,
- 1:51Speaker 2: they're all about it. I mean, they're about it. They
- 1:53Speaker 2: want to win, They're gonna do whatever it takes to win.
- 1:55Speaker 2: They're selfless. And then a guy's gonna go make a play.
- 1:57Speaker 2: And then Joey Figano, I mean, you know, he turned
- 2:01Speaker 2: the ball over and then all of a sudden he
- 2:02Speaker 2: catches Joe down the sideline and or you know, you
- 2:05Speaker 2: look at TJ, you know, starting us off in the
- 2:08Speaker 2: second half with that great play, and you know, there's
- 2:11Speaker 2: a lot to learn from a game like that, and
- 2:13Speaker 2: you're fortunate you get to learn it being four and
- 2:15Speaker 2: two rather than three and three and going to a
- 2:17Speaker 2: buye with a with a win like that. I mean,
- 2:19Speaker 2: that's certainly better than going in there getting scored on
- 2:21Speaker 2: on fourth and one.
- 2:22Speaker 1: And are you going to be able to keep a
- 2:23Speaker 1: straight face when you tell Jordan just jump on the
- 2:25Speaker 1: ball next time and don't try and scoop it.
- 2:27Speaker 2: I didn't even I'm going to tell you what. I
- 2:29Speaker 2: didn't even see the play. All of a sudden he's
- 2:31Speaker 2: running that way. I was watching the official just to
- 2:34Speaker 2: see if he put his hand, she Monique put her
- 2:37Speaker 2: hands up or not so. Thank goodness she didn't.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Thanks coach, appreciate it.
