00:03 We got-- it's our charge as coaches
00:20 to put the guys in position.
00:21 And that's the player's job to make the plays.
00:25 And you're always looking at that.
00:27 That's always a big part of it.
00:29 And like I said, for almost 56 minutes, we did that.
00:33 We were putting the guys in position.
00:35 They were making plays.
00:36 We owned the time of possession.
00:38 We took the ball away, gave our guys a short field.
00:40 We gave ourselves a big lead.
00:42 And we've got to continue to do that as we go forward.
00:44 Well, he's obviously-- that's your last part for sure.
00:48 We want him out there more.
00:50 But those guys are rotating.
00:53 And when they-- Travis rotates them in and out.
00:56 Usually it's their five to seven plays somewhere in there
00:59 during a two-minute drive like that.
01:01 You just got to get-- platoon them and get them in there
01:02 fresh.
01:03 And then when those lead dogs are fresh,
01:05 you just put them back in.
01:07 So you just got to do that because those guys are
01:10 throwing their fastballs.
01:11 It really is.
01:11 And that's just how we do it.
01:13 We platoon our guys and keep them fresh that way.
01:15 That's how we do it.
