  Speaker 1: Yeah, Liam, just take us through that the last couple
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: of series air and what your thoughts are and how
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: it ended.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just a tough way to end the season. Obviously,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: you couldn't unless you couldn't.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Uh, you know, we scored to go ahead, you know.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Couldn't really get them off the grass there on the
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: last on the last drive, you know, converted Obviously a
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: few of those we get hit on the.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: A little bit of a bus that coverage there and uh, you.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Know, then the quarterback sneak that goes down to the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: one yard line. It's tough because you're still trying to
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: hold them to it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: They need a touchdown. So with where they were at,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: it's not like we were about to freeway it, you know.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I mean we're competing to try to stop them to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: make them kick a field goal. But once you get
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: it down to the one yard line, we decided to
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: freeway it, let them score and try to get the
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: ball back, and then we do and ended up throwing
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: an interception.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: So it was just tough ending. Man. Can you go
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: through the first half there and.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: What was disjointed in the offense passing game maybe and
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: seemed like you had a lot of success when you
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: did run it. Yeah, we were running the ball well,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: you know, ran it well. Obviously it's a pretty solid
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: pass defense. You know, they were doing some stuff pre
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: snap post snap, changing the picture a little bit, and uh,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: just didn't really get going. We had some couple of
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: bus a couple of you know, poor calls, you know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: just a couple of not executing in the past game
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: in the first half, you know, but we're fortunate enough
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to be still in a good position obviously at the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: half mister field goal, you know, but give ourselves a chance.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: So I thought we ran it better though.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: William just on the run game, and it seemed like
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: you guys got away from it a little bit in
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: the first half. Just what did what kind of happened
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: there and what what sort of transpired for you to
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: pass the ball more in the second half.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not really sure exactly what you mean, but just
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: call the game like though, Like why I always call

  Speaker 2: mean fourth down, that low you at least feel like
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: you're going to have an opportunity to stop him and
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: have a field position change and at the very worst
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you get the ball back with good field position and
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: then end up working out.
• 3:58

  Speaker 2: people that I'm fortunate enough to work.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: With on a day to day basis. Has been.

  Speaker 2: Extremely gratifying to be in this role, obviously, and you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: you learn so much in your first year doing it
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and be able to self scout and self evaluated in
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the off season, give yourself a chance to win these
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: type of games in the future, you know what I mean.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: But putting ourselves in a position to compete like champions
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: every day and see what that looks like next season.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Reigning MVP was hell bent on getting the ball out quickly.

  Speaker 1: does it say about his toughness that, you know, he
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: just keeps coming back and coming back and coming.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Back such a competitor.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: You know the ball, Yeah, he was spitting it out

  Speaker 2: pretty good obviously, you know, scrambled enough times, but he
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: just kind of drifting away.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Nobey's gonna get hit making a play I threw.

• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the run stats were, what we
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: held them to or anything like that, but you know,
