00:00 [INAUDIBLE]
00:10 >> How do you kind of see a lot happening over the next few weeks?
00:12 You're going to a bowl.
00:14 How do you kind of focus on that one next game or last game?
00:18 >> I mean, all we can do is wait until tomorrow,
00:20 I can let him evaluate, and then we can get a lot of the players behind us.
00:24 >> Tomorrow, you got that punt, where they're basically inside the red zone.
00:29 How much did you all really feel like you had in the score right there?
00:32 This is a major opportunity.
00:35 >> Anytime we could fall off a score, whether it was in the red zone,
00:39 whether it was down, around 30, whether it's 10.
00:43 I mean, they were back up a little bit, we had them last week.
00:45 We scored, but we didn't think it was gonna turn our way today.
00:48 >> But even with maybe how that game had gone at that point,
00:51 did it feel like it was more necessary at that point in time to get it in the red zone?
00:56 >> I guess so, I mean, I mean, we're down three.
01:00 >> You were down six or ten.
01:02 >> Six or ten, yeah.
01:02 >> Yeah, yeah, six or ten.
01:04 >> I mean, obviously, we gotta put the boys on the board,
01:07 we gotta capitalize on things like that.
01:09 I mean, I'm kind of locked in, all I can say is we gotta score,
01:14 we gotta capitalize on the situation.
01:16 >> It seemed like there were a couple of drives where you guys caught a rhythm,
01:21 where it's like Jack couldn't miss, you had a couple of catches there, so on and
01:26 so forth, it was a big run.
01:28 They kind of spun you guys into the red zone.
01:31 Can you name any one thing that maybe the defense on the back end was doing
01:34 differently to give you guys different looks in the end zone?
01:36 >> Normally, they play a lot of quarters,
01:40 press quarters, so when we got in the red zone, they kind of played it off a little
01:44 bit, but like I said, we just shot ourselves in the foot a lot of times.
01:50 We gotta capitalize on those situations.
01:53 >> Jeff said he was optimistic with you guys after the game.
01:55 What was his message to you all?
01:58 >> Jeff said he was optimistic with you guys after the game.
02:00 Just curious, what was his message to you all?
02:03 >> It really did, watching him, we gotta learn from him,
02:07 put the game behind us.
02:09 Obviously, we didn't come here to win, obviously, this is the game that we wanted
02:11 to win, but all we can do now is put the game behind us, and
02:15 watch him, and we'll continue on to the next year.
02:18 >> What was the experience like for you guys, just being able to play
02:21 ACC Championship, you guys have never been on the stage, Louisville hasn't.
02:24 What was the experience like?
02:26 >> I can tell you it's one for the books.
02:29 Coming up here, making history, being one of the first teams to actually make it to
02:34 ACC Championship is a big milestone for the program.
02:37 I'm just excited for the future.
02:39 >> On guard, what did you see on that?
02:40 You guys had a trouble pass after that point, mid-second game,
02:44 took you guys back a few yards.
02:45 Was there some mis-block or miscommunication or anything on that?
02:49 >> Same thing happened on that one?
02:50 >> Yeah, no problem.
02:51 >> You guys had a trouble pass right after, you guys got the ball,
02:55 it was inside the ten, you guys needed to go off that goalie version.
02:58 What did you see on that play that made it last?
03:00 >> Trouble pass, I don't- >> It was like the reverse,
03:05 I'm not sure what it was.
03:07 >> Come on, we were on the goal line?
03:10 I mean, that's a play that we had just installed.
03:13 It got kind of loud down there, so I mean,
03:17 they just did a good job of defending it, defending the defensive edge.
03:24 [BLANK_AUDIO]
03:34 >> [INAUDIBLE]
03:44 >> I mean, we just shot ourselves in the foot a lot of times.
03:48 I could have made a couple more plays, I had a couple of drops.
03:51 We just gotta make a play when our numbers call.
03:55 >> All right, thank you.
03:58 >> Appreciate it.
03:59 >> Thank you.
