02:20 >> Having trust in our defense and
02:29 having trust in each other and keeping our composure.
02:31 Nobody flipped out or lost focus or lost belief.
02:37 And we knew what we were capable of on offense and all we had to do is go out and
02:41 execute and play our brand of football and that's what we did.
02:44 We scored 51 points unanswered after that.
02:46 >> What was the adjustment you made after starting with that fourth drive?
02:49 >> Really nothing, just taking care of the football after that.
02:52 We started off with the interception and the safety.
02:53 It kind of put us in a bind.
02:54 Our defense made a few stops and held them to a few field goals.
02:57 So after that, we just had to drive down the field like we always do.
03:03 >> Talk about your offensive line.
03:04 I mean, what were you seeing from behind them?
03:06 What was the defense giving?
03:07 Cuz obviously great adjustments tonight from that second quarter on.
03:10 >> Smithson Valley's really well coached and
03:12 they had a good game plan coming into this game.
03:14 And our offensive line has like three broken ankles.
03:17 So they're just playing through injuries and battling the butts off cuz a lot of
03:20 them were seniors.
03:21 So it was tough because they were giving us a lot of tough looks that
03:25 were really good for some of our play calls.
03:27 But we bounced back on third downs and made some plays on third downs.
03:32 But I'm just proud of our guys for trusting in each other and playing hard.
03:35 >> I think you broke a couple of ankles as well.
03:37 Obviously going to TCU, I mean, we know about how Big 12 is gonna be tough,
03:42 even with Texas and Oklahoma leaving.
03:43 Just a thought on now being able to go a few miles down the road to Fort Worth and
03:48 being able to help with Sonny Dykes as they try to bounce back in 24.
03:51 >> Yeah, TCU's my dream school and
03:53 I've been dreaming about playing in the purple and black forever.
03:56 So I'm just gonna go in there and work my tail off and
04:00 do everything I can to help the team.
04:01 Because like you said, Texas and Oklahoma are leaving and
04:03 TCU can be the powerhouse of the Big 12 at this point.
04:06 And it just comes down to knowing their purpose, going into each season and
04:11 staying focused.
04:12 >> Haas, congratulations, look forward to watching you in Fort Worth.
04:15 Thanks for the time.
