00:00 things that we left out there and I feel like the penalties hurt us a lot.
00:05 And turnover in the red zone and things like that, just beating us up.
00:10 So we gotta make sure we be more clean.
00:12 >> Was it kind of weird you didn't throw a touchdown pass today?
00:14 >> I didn't?
00:15 >> No.
00:16 >> No, it's not weird as long as we win.
00:18 I'm good.
00:19 >> I mean, on that note, Dylan had a big day, Dylan Johnson.
00:22 You've seen what he's done in practice, but
00:23 fans haven't seen everything that he can do.
00:25 Just what do you expect out of a guy like that?
00:27 What's the take away?
00:28 >> Man, he's amazing.
00:29 He comes with the same attitude every day and
00:30 he's a guy that's gonna run the ball north and south.
00:33 And we're just glad that he came here to us from Mississippi State.
00:37 And he's been a big add on for us and
00:40 he's gonna continue to make big time plays for us down the road.
00:43 >> Michael, you said you didn't play to the standard.
00:44 Going through a little adversity, going into your next big game,
00:47 is that kind of a good thing?
00:48 >> What?
00:50 >> Just going into- >> I said it like that, though.
00:52 >> No, just going into the next game.
00:54 >> No, man, this game is different from Oregon game.
00:57 We got a 24 hour rule, we're gonna go over it with our film, and
01:00 after that, it's over with.
01:01 We know what we gotta do to be better, and that's what we're gonna do.
01:04 It don't matter who we're playing, we gotta uphold that standard.
01:07 Every game is a big game.
01:09 >> But that was the first time you guys were really tested this year,
01:12 into the second half.
01:14 What did that feel like, just having not gone through that for a while?
01:17 >> Like I said, I just feel like we was beating ourselves.
01:20 We left stuff out there on our own.
01:22 I don't feel like, they were trying a lot of things to be able to stop us, but
01:25 I feel like at the end of the day, we stopped ourselves.
01:27 We're the best offense in the nation, and today we did uphold that standard.
01:32 And I feel like that's something that we gotta make sure we go back to the drawing
01:35 board and get better, and continue to push each other to be able to hold that
01:41 standard and to go out there and just play free and execute at a high level.
01:44 >> The last time you guys lost was down here in the desert.
01:47 So some satisfaction in coming back down here and
01:50 coming out with a victory this time?
01:51 >> Yeah, man, I'm just glad to get a win.
01:55 Every win is hard.
01:56 No win is easy in college football.
01:58 You see a team get upset all across the board, stuff like that.
02:01 So we don't take anything for granted.
02:03 So we just gotta come back next week.
02:07 We got a bye week, and then the following week, we got Oregon.
02:12 So we gotta make sure that we take our right steps and
02:15 focus on what we can control, and coming out and being better next time we on the field.
