00:03 So step up time man, Stan Hartman's got to step up, talked about this yesterday.

00:08 He's got to step up and make plays.

00:09 He's got to step up and carry this football team.

00:11 The whole point of our belief that this team would be better is we've always said,

00:16 man, if nobody can just get a quarterback, they just get a quarterback,

00:18 they just get a quarterback.

00:19 And they got one, and then they, to me, he hasn't played well in recent games.

00:25 But I also don't think they're letting him kind of be that gunslinger that he was.

00:29 They've tried to change who he is as a six year senior, which is not wise.

00:33 He's got to step up and just say, screw it, man, I got nothing to lose.

00:36 We're not gonna play for championship.

00:38 So I'm gonna go out there and have some fun and make some plays and

00:41 we're gonna win some football games, right?

00:42 And he needs to be that guy.

00:44 But it also comes down to, hey Tobias, ball comes your way, go make a play, man.

00:49 Right, go make a play.

00:50 Chris Tyree, ball comes your way, go make a play.

00:52 All right, Jordan Faison, Jaden Thomas, Jaden Greathouse, Rico,

00:56 I don't care who it is.

00:58 Ball comes your way, go make a play.

01:00 Third and three, Zeke, Rocco, whoever, go make a play.

01:07 And making a play is kicking my guy's butt across from me,

01:10 doing my job and kicking that guy's butt.

01:12 It's a mentality.

01:13 And so to me, Ryan, it comes down to, yes, the scheme's gotta be better and

01:19 all these other principles, but at the end of the day, you win these games because

01:23 certain guys step up and say, I got this.
