00:00 Kevin, just how much goes into a decision
00:02 to make a quarterback change mid-game?
00:03 I'm sure it's not something you take lightly.
00:05 No.
00:06 And I think I credit Josh for his preparation.
00:12 I credit him for coming out and giving our offense
00:14 some chances in the first half.
00:16 There's probably plenty of guys in there,
00:18 thinking back on a few plays that would tell you
00:20 that they can make that play when given the opportunity.
00:24 And then just as the game went on,
00:26 just a couple of plays here and there
00:27 that probably Josh would love to have back.
00:30 Felt like they were going to make it tough for him
00:33 to try to really get up and out and attack.
00:36 He got us an early first down there with his legs,
00:38 and then it kind of dried up from there.
00:40 It's difficult. I always want to communicate and be honest.
00:44 And I just said, at this point in time,
00:46 I want to give Nick a chance to get in there.
00:49 Nick's got a great feel for our offense.
00:51 And when I was able to call it for him
00:53 and kind of communicate with him a little bit,
00:56 he went out there and executed.
00:58 So we'll take a look at it.
01:00 Don't want to get into declaring anything for next week
01:03 right now with the type of injuries
01:05 and the way it's been on offense this season.
01:07 We're a week-to-week offense at this point.
01:09 We're going to find out who we're going to have available,
01:11 figure out the best possible plan we can put together
01:14 against a really good team at their place.
01:16 And we'll let you guys know as the week goes on.
