00:00 We'll go ahead and open it up for questions for these guys.
00:04 Kelly?
00:06 >> I guess I'm asking how frustrating was it that they were able to hit some
00:08 explosives on the guys?
00:11 It had some decent opportunities to get off the field,
00:13 just couldn't really get off the field except for a couple turnovers and
00:18 downs and forcing a couple punts.
00:20 But it just wasn't the day I imagined you guys wanted.
00:24 >> It was very frustrating.
00:26 It's frustrating giving up explosives to anybody.
00:28 Those are things we can kind of control.
00:32 They had a good game plan against kind of what we had going on.
00:35 And they made plays when plays were needed.
00:37 So we can get back to the lab and try to prevent that next week.
00:40 >> Jeff, going on despite being one and two,
00:45 still very confident in this team and the direction you guys are headed in?
00:48 >> Yes, sir, 100%.
00:50 We still have a lot of ball left.
00:51 This is week three of a long season.
00:54 So I'm extremely confident in the team.
00:56 I feel like we've shown a flash of extreme potential, a lot of good ball.
01:00 We just gotta find a way to put it all together.
01:02 Once again, we'll be good.
01:04 >> [INAUDIBLE]
01:08 >> Miles, you guys are down seven,
01:10 I think we've got ten minutes left.
01:12 You've already scored two touchdowns in a row.
01:15 And the team gave up 17 points in the last several minutes.
01:19 Here's what kind of gateway for you guys on your end, I think.
01:24 >> Once again, Lane Kiffin over there, great play caller.
01:27 He had good plays against what we had.
01:30 And then it came down to execution.
01:32 We didn't execute when it was needed the most.
01:35 Like I said, this game is behind us.
01:37 We're back in the lab and we're trying to prevent that next week.
01:40 >> Charlie.
01:42 >> It seemed like a very critical game for both of you guys.
01:45 Was it a little, there was quite a level up even from the Louisville game and
01:51 the South Carolina State game to this one.
01:53 Was that something that you guys noticed?
01:55 >> Physicality?
01:55 >> Yeah, physicality.
01:56 >> Yeah, I mean, it's like when we play in the SEC team.
01:58 Part of the game, and
02:03 it gets physical down the road in the season.
02:08 So next time we gotta be able to match that a little bit better and
02:12 then we'll be good.
02:13 >> Yeah, pretty much what Miles said.
02:18 We watched it and we know what we're getting ourselves into.
02:22 So I mean, I didn't feel like you slapped us in the face.
02:25 I felt like we didn't prepare well during the week.
02:28 We just gotta find a way to finish.
02:31 >> You guys really kinda last year against Ole Miss,
02:34 everything that went wrong could possibly go wrong.
02:37 Did you feel like you had something to prove against them kinda coming into
02:40 this game or?
02:42 >> Something to prove?
02:42 >> Yeah, something to prove against this particular team.
02:45 >> No, we don't try to prove ourselves to no team, to be honest.
02:49 It's all about, and
02:50 I respect each week, so we kinda, we worry about ourselves.
02:56 We don't try to prove anything to anybody, honestly.
02:59 We wanna prove ourselves right in most scenarios and
03:03 that's all it's about for us.
03:05 >> All right, anything else?
03:07 Ken?
03:08 >> Quan, second quarter I think it was,
03:11 Dart had that long run, kinda like a draw.
03:15 Was that, could the pocket have been more like tighten up or
03:19 what do you think happened there?
03:20 >> Yeah, I definitely think we could have kept a tighter grasp on the quarterback.
03:25 We let him get loose a lot more than what we wanted to.
03:29 So yeah, definitely pocket presence.
03:32 We gotta be aware of how we're rushing, make sure we can get off blocks and
03:36 be able to bring him down when we need to.
03:38 >> Okay, anything else?
03:39 Collin, if you wanna wrap this up.
03:40 >> Sure, I was just curious if you talked to Kelo or
03:44 Jared or any of those guys and kinda what you're-
03:46 >> Yeah, not any this week, but
03:49 we've talked in the past, I mean, it's competitive.
03:51 So Kelo's still my dog, we be tight.
03:53 So yeah, it's about back and forth, but yeah.
03:57 >> All right, thank you guys.
