00:00 >> It is hard to see.
00:02 I was told that one of our guys retaliated and
00:06 they always gonna see the second guy and then the helmet came off and
00:09 to them it looked like the player took the helmet off on the field.
00:12 And then we hit the snapper.
00:14 In the rule of college football is you can't jump over the snapper,
00:17 you can't touch the snapper.
00:18 They got up there and fought.
00:20 All right, so I don't fault the officials at all.
00:24 We got, as I tell them, we got a win and lose with class.
00:27 We're in the final moments of the game.
00:30 That's when we gotta be at our sharpest, right?
00:33 And we just didn't have the discipline down the stretch to win the football game.

00:41 A couple of interceptions that were costly, but

00:49 >> He's a competitor.
00:50 I think we all know that he's gonna compete and he's still a young guy.
00:54 He believes he can make every single play.
00:56 He's gonna have to grow through that and
00:59 hopefully the learning curve happens fast.
01:03 But the kid's just trying to make a point.
01:06 And it's our job as coaches to teach him and coach him not to,
01:11 in critical situations, not to put the ball in jeopardy.
01:13 Because if you put the ball in jeopardy versus a good football team,
01:16 they won't take it with them.
