00:10 I don't know what their game plan was, but
00:15 their game plan could have been to stop me in the run game.
00:18 So I have no idea.
00:19 I mean, but when it goes that way, you gotta do something else to score on them.
00:22 So it is what it is, like I said.
00:24 And sometimes they tell the ends.
00:27 I mean, I didn't have any, I tried to pull it one time, the first on a read.
00:31 I should have handed that one off.
00:33 And then the other times we did a read option, the defensive ends played me.
00:39 So yeah, it looks like they weren't trying to let me get on the outside and
00:43 run with it.
00:43 I was ready to go.
00:44 I was ready to get on there and try to score a touchdown, but
00:49 at least get into a good range so Carlos could tie it up.
00:52 But we practiced too many, a lot during the week.
00:56 And I was just gonna keep that same mindset and
01:00 just try to drive the ball down the field and give our team a chance.
01:03 Number seven, I made a good play, one handed.
01:06 He picked it one handed, took it back.
01:08 I mean, he didn't have that far to return it.
01:10 But yeah, I caught a screen and made a play on it.
01:14 I didn't see every detail of the play.
01:16 I saw Khalil open and then I'm guessing he just reacted back.
01:20 He felt screen and went back and of course picked it off.
01:24 So but I mean, yeah, in that situation is tough because if you call a deeper pass,
01:30 you don't wanna drive back in the end zone and potential to take a safety.
01:34 So I mean, I think that's a tough spot regarding play calls for
01:41 Luke in that position.
01:41 So he went with his gut and number seven ended up making a good play.
01:45 So it is what it is.
01:48 I think it's a number of things.
01:50 Each drive is so different.
01:51 There's so many things that happen.
01:54 So I can't pinpoint if we sit down and we go through each and
01:58 every drive and tell you what happened.
01:59 But I think at the end of the day, we just gotta execute,
02:04 especially when we get the ball in the 50, at least gotta get some points.
02:08 And when the defense puts us in good field position,
02:10 we gotta turn those into points.
02:12 So yeah, but definitely, I think we came out the game strong,
02:16 scoring on the first drive.
02:17 And of course, you wanna come back and just be able to maintain that.
02:21 I guess firepower on offense to keep going, but yeah.
