00:00 >> What do you see from Texas on the court so far?
00:03 >> I see a lot, they got a great running back, he's not left last year.
00:08 But he's definitely a lot better running back now, he's very good.
00:13 I know yours may be able to play, I don't know, I think it's 50/50 ball.
00:17 But both the quarterbacks very good, they got a great receiving court, and
00:21 they got Georgia transfer that came in.
00:25 He's great too, so they got a lot of weapons too, they're a great team.
00:28 >> How much do you go back and watch last year to see how you guys were successful
00:33 down there in Austin?
00:34 >> We watched a lot of clips that we feel like they're gonna run.
00:38 And that pretty much that some of the plays that they still ran from last year
00:43 and this year that we're successful on.
00:45 And what we did and great fixes like linebackers and D-line,
00:49 how we fit it well and how we stopped them.
00:51 And also looked at some stuff that we didn't do too good on and
00:54 what we can correct just in case we feel like they'll come back to certain plays
00:57 that's kind of hurt us a little bit.
01:00 >> What's the mindset of this team going into the last three games?
01:02 I mean, last year this time you guys are fighting for
01:04 a college football playoff spot.
01:05 This year you're just trying to get ball eligible.
01:07 Can you compare where it's at?
01:09 >> Really our mindset this week, I mean, overall, so far in the season,
01:13 really we're not trying to go one and O each week.
01:17 So we take the game by game, so we're really just trying to focus in when we get
01:20 a time to try and go one and O that week and then see where we end up at the end.
01:24 >> So it's kind of the same mindset you had last year,
01:26 just different results, but you can't change that.
01:29 >> Yeah, same mindset like last year, and it's just different as well this year.
01:32 But we're still trying to keep that same mindset, keep our heads sharp.
01:35 >> There have been times this year where guys have missed some tackles, and
01:40 maybe that hasn't been as clean as you guys have wanted.
01:42 How do you work to improve in that area?
01:44 >> Well, we come to practice every day and
01:47 then get the attention so that everybody can run to the ball, take great angles.
01:52 Cuz in games, I'll probably show if you don't take great angles,
01:54 then you'll be missing tackles.
01:55 So we're trying to practice hammering things down and getting better in those
02:00 set of things.
