00:00 Coach, can you just explain the decision to start the game with that on?
00:02 Yeah, it was something we'd seen on film.
00:05 It wasn't like a random.
00:07 We just felt like we saw a leverage opportunity
00:11 and someone we wanted to take advantage of.
00:13 Obviously, we didn't want to contact the ball before 10 yards,
00:17 but it was kind of being aggressive.
00:20 And yet we felt like, you know, we came to win a game.
00:23 So it was it was something we discussed.
00:27 If we won the toss, we were going to defer.
00:29 Then obviously we wanted it kicked over on our sideline.
00:31 So, you know, it was just one of those things that we felt percentage wise.
00:36 We felt pretty good about the the odds.
00:38 I don't have a good angle to to look at the missed extra point.
00:43 I was surprised a little bit his first kick.
00:44 He'll bounce back.
00:47 You know, he's he's had a good two weeks with us.
00:50 Hadn't had any issues.
00:51 And, you know, we attempted the longer field goal, the 55 yard field goal.
00:56 That one looked pretty close.
00:57 That, too, I think was missed right, though.
00:59 So it'll work to get that cleaned up.
