Ryan Day Press Conference Clip December 3rd, 2023

Transcript

00:00 >> Just to follow up on that, the fourth and two, you wanna be aggressive.

00:05 Is that a fair generalization of how you wanna coach and you want your team to play?

00:10 I think knowing that, I think a lot of us were struck by that you didn't go for

00:15 it on fourth and two, you just brought it up.

00:18 >> Yeah.

00:19 >> Do you wish you would have gone for it?

00:21 Do you think you should have?

00:22 >> Well, since you missed the field goal, yeah.

00:24 >> You guys don't play, it's a 52 yard field goal,

00:26 you don't make a ton of 50 yarders.

00:28 >> I feel like we had the wind and he was kicking pretty good and

00:32 he had plenty of leg.

00:33 But yeah, we missed it.

00:35 So ultimately, we probably need to get a couple more first downs and

00:38 add to the field goal there.

00:40 >> Yeah.

00:40 >> I just, I don't need to belabor the point, but I think it's so sort of important

00:45 for the history of this game.

00:46 That again, even like Nathan mentioned,

00:48 you've talked about you wanna let it rip a little bit, right?

00:52 It just felt like that was maybe like a let it rip.

00:56 >> I guess, but with 30 seconds left, I felt like it wasn't like we had a bunch of

01:00 time to go score a touchdown there in my mind.

01:02 I felt like fourth and two, maybe add to the field goal.

01:08 Maybe there's enough time to throw in the end zone.

01:10 But at that time coming out of the first half, I just felt like, all right,

01:14 if we can get three points here, that'd be a heck of a thing.

01:17 Fourth and two, not fourth and one.

01:18 But yeah, you're right, it didn't work.

01:20 So ultimately, you get second guess on all those things.

01:25 And yeah.
