00:07 >> What you trying, what you mean, take away?

00:08 >> Like, obviously it's not the result of this.

00:11 >> Yeah, yeah, I mean, listen, bro, it's just a marathon.

00:14 We're not worried about one loss, we're not hyping up what pregame,

00:18 none of that, bro.

00:20 Everybody fought hard on both sides of the ball, the best team won today.

00:22 Ain't nothing you can say, ain't nothing you can do.

00:24 You just got to do better on our end, get necessary stops,

00:28 get the ball back off and let them go down the scope.

00:30 But like I said, it was a good game, well fought on both sides.

00:32 >> How frustrating was it though, knowing that you were able to come back and

00:36 obviously score ten points within what, eight minutes?

00:39 >> It's not frustrating, it's a good point.

00:40 It's a strong, cuz if you're down, you show that most teams, they give up.

00:46 Being down ten points in eight minutes, so I think, we got a lot of fight, but

00:49 we just got to keep going until we get over there.

00:51 >> Very physical game out there on both sides of the ball.

00:53 >> Most definitely.

00:54 >> And you, are you okay?

00:55 Cuz I know you went out.

00:56 >> I'm not worried, I'm fine.

00:57 >> CJ, where'd you feel like you guys need to be better in defense?

01:00 >> All around, all around, from top to bottom, simple as that.

01:05 We gave up 300 something yards, it's not good enough.

01:08 Gave up 37 points, not good enough.

01:10 You're never gonna win a championship that way.

01:12 I mean, that's on us as players, so going day by day.

01:17 Not saying we're not, just gotta go in day by day with that bad taste, and

01:20 I know that's just what it feels like.
