  Speaker 1: Coach. We've talked the last couple of weeks after some
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: close losses, what does it feel for the group to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: get back in the win column here today?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I think there's a sense of relief that we won,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: but I don't think there's any sense of satisfaction, you know.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, we need to play better than we played,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: especially defensively late. That's been an achilles heel of ours
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: so far this year, is not being able to stop
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: people in two minute situations, and we need to get
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: that corrected immediately. But I'm really proud of the way
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: our offense responded to the second half, especially running the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: ball when we needed to run the ball. Cam had
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: almost two hundred yards rushing and would have been more
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: than that had they not called that one back. So yeah,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, look at a win, and we're two and two,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: and now we get to go on the road and
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: try to see if we can get another one.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: There are different moments when guys come off the field
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: after defensive drives. Offensive Camp scored the first of the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns and you brought him over and you were
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: in his ear hole saying something. What do you say
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: to a guy like that when he comes up with
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a big play.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Well with I mean, I don't know, it's hard to remember,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: but like Cam's special, and he's special to me because
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: we've been together the whole time. You know, he's been
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: one of the guys that that you know, I got
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: to recruit and he came in here and he had
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: a tough start to things and I wasn't sure if
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: he's going to last and make it here, and we
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: didn't really know where to put him, and he had
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a goofy attitude. But he was
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: just a young kid, you know, and so it's really
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: special when you see a young man like that grow
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: up and just become what he's become on and off
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the field, and everybody gets to see what he is
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: on the field when he runs the ball. But that's
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: just the result of the type of person that he is,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean, he's just a relentless worker. He's
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you know, I think he's a dog, and I say,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Dawg's a dog. I mean, you can count on him,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: you can trust him. He's going to bring toughness and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: energy and he's going to deliver when it's when it's necessary.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: At halftime, you talked about getting it in a way
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and ultimately Lee Mallette comes up with a big play
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: there on defense. What bring. He's not a guy that
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think we talk often about.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think anyone really talks about leave very much.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And he's the same thing. He's been here for, you know,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: four years with us, and uh, it's good to see
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: him make a play at that time. And he's really
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: matured a lot. I remember a couple years ago against Rice,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: he had a chance to end the game that all
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: went through his hands. And now he's making plays. You know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it's just as a coach, it's really uh, it's really
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: rewarding when you see guys start to really figure it out,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: you know, and and make plays and become you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: mature adults as opposed to young kids what they were
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: when they came in. I mean, that's what you love
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: about college football. Coach, Thanks so much, Okay,
