00:00 As many as I can keep them up, it's gonna be tough.

00:04 >> How we doing today?

00:05 >> Good, well, I think that once we got going in the Mississippi State game,

00:13 we played a lot better.

00:16 We got some early bumps in the road on offense that were drive stoppers again.

00:23 But once we got sort of past that, I thought we executed and played pretty well.

00:28 I think Jaylin settled down in the game and played well.

00:33 And defensively, we played except for a couple spurts in the game where I

00:38 thought we lost our intensity a little bit, played pretty well, made some improvement.

00:43 So we need to build on the things that we're doing well, we need to eliminate.

00:49 And it's kind of like when do you say enough is enough when it comes to

00:56 some of these things that we're doing to shoot ourselves foot,

01:00 which are easily correctable.

01:02 We need to get it corrected.

01:03 We're playing a really good team this week.

01:07 So it's gonna be really important, I think, that they're playing as well.

01:13 As they played all season long, they've gotten better, better,

01:16 better since the early game.

01:18 And we got a lot of good players, really good on defense.

01:23 Jimbo does a really good job with them on offense.

01:26 They got some really good skilled players.

01:28 So it's gonna be really important for us to have the kind of intensity that we need

01:33 to have throughout the week in practice.

01:36 And it's almost like, hey, we're gonna challenge you this week in practice,

01:40 because it's gonna be hard in the game.

01:44 And you need to be locked in all week long, and you need to be ready for

01:50 the challenge that you're gonna get when you play against a good team on the road

01:54 in a really tough environment.

01:55 So this team is leading the conference in defense,

02:00 very good up front on defense, very difficult to run the ball against.

02:05 And they score a lot of points, and the combination of those two things make

02:11 them a really, really good team.

02:12 So this is gonna be a real challenge for us.

02:15 >> Turn on the left, Chase.
