00:06 It means we better be on our stuff because he's gonna come here to try to
00:09 embarrass us.
00:10 That's what it means.
00:11 And so that's our motivation.
00:13 That's my motivation.
00:14 And it's about winning, man.
00:16 All we gotta do is find a way to win.
00:17 And we're gonna have to be at our best.
00:20 And we will be at our best.
00:22 >> Based on the game plan, did you feel in any sense that Ben was a little bit too
00:26 conservative?
00:26 >> I thought Ben called a great game.
00:28 I loved what he called.
00:29 It's exactly what I wanted him to call.
00:31 It was a hell of a job.
00:32 And the way we played that first half was perfect.
00:35 We knew what kind of game that was gonna be in those elements.
00:38 And we just didn't execute.
00:40 We didn't execute.
00:43 And look, Gough has played better, but yet, man, he did some things well for us.
00:49 That fourth and three was an outstanding throw.
00:51 The turnover that really got us was the snap.
00:56 That was the one.
00:57 The other two on fourth down, like the first one, fourth and ten, I loved the throw.
01:01 He gave us a chance.
01:02 I'm not gonna pump from the 35.
01:05 So I love that.
01:07 He gave us a chance in the other one, fourth and 24.
01:09 I mean, we're just trying to get a DPI.
01:13 That's a hope and a prayer there at the end.
01:14 So those to me weren't even turnovers for Gough.
01:18 I mean, it was a snap.
01:20 And that was really, that's between a couple of people.
01:24 So to answer your question.
01:26 I like what Ben did.
01:27 I really did, man.
01:28 We had a chance.
01:29 And we come out at halftime, we find a way to score or get back on the board at some
01:34 point there.
01:35 I felt like we would've gotten our momentum back.
01:37 We just couldn't do it.
