  Speaker 1: Coach, first one possession loss of the season. So in
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: a situation like that, what's the message to the team
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: when you just addressed them?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: A good football game. Hard fought in both, you know,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: in the trenches on both sides of the ball. You know,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Miami's a good team. You know, they play through the
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: whistle and do the detailed things that you want to
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: see your teams do. So you have to go beat them.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I said that earlier in the week and gave ourselves
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: a chance at the end to win the game. We
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: just didn't. Kind of tail two quarters in the first half.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Really hot start, hit really a lull there in the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: second quarter, and then get to the point in time
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter with the ball in our hands
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: to go win the game. We just weren't able to capitalize.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Was there anything that you saw in that fourth quarter,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: either on the interception or that final drive that wasn't
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: able to put points on the board where you thought, okay,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: there was something there that jumped out to you?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think maybe the moment got to us a
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: little bit there. We got affected up front. We didn't
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: protect the quarterback how we needed to, and Yeah, we've
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: got some young players in key positions that haven't been
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: in those types of situations before, and they'll be in
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: them again. So they've got to respond better next time
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: when we get into those spots. We've got some growing
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: pains that we've got to address and fix on tape,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and that starts with me and the staff.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: And then lastly, on the defensive side of the football,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: as Miami was picking up yards through the air with McCord,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: what did you want to see them do a little
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: differently to slow that down?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think they did a good job,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you know, for the most part, neutralizing, you know, pass rush.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: You know, we got to cover a little bit better.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, we got a chance to take
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the ball away a couple times. And, you know, we did. And,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: you know, we got a flag on that one. And
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: then a couple other times where I thought the, you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: their players were a little careless with the ball. And
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: we didn't get a chance to punch the ball out.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: So it's about momentum. And the only way to create
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: momentum in a game like that is to create turnovers.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: And you got to really... do a good job of
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: handling yourself offensively. And we took an L in both
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: of those categories today in the second half.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Coach, thanks so much.
