00:00 But you gotta come back next week and figure things out and get back to it.
00:09 >> T, this team's been through a lot this year, you know that obviously, but
00:12 how much do you guys want to finish things off the right way the final two weeks?
00:15 >> Finish things off, we really do want, we wanna do that.
00:19 I mean, that's the main goal, finish strong.
00:21 Definitely wanna finish strong and that's what Coach Jack is pushing and saying.
00:26 Today was a tough loss.
00:29 It is, but gotta come back next week and try to finish these next two games strong
00:34 and try to get in the playoffs.
00:37 >> What was your think, did you guys think you could hurt them in the middle of
00:39 the field and a lot of easily back there?
00:41 Do you think you could work the middle of the field a little bit?
00:46 >> Yeah, I mean, we was able to do that a little bit today, but
00:49 it just wasn't enough.
00:51 >> How long do you feel like the momentum was coming back to you guys after
00:54 your touchdown?
00:55 >> Yeah, I mean, coming in at halftime,
00:58 Coach Taylor said we gotta have some big plays and
01:02 we thought that big play was gonna spark us, but it just wasn't enough.
01:07 >> How frustrating was it, the fourth and inches,
01:08 the back of the end zone looked like you guys were close to complete?
01:11 >> Yeah, it was very frustrating.
01:12 Jake got hit, so he couldn't get a really good ball.
01:17 So, I mean, nobody's gonna fall for that.
01:20 But I mean, we would have got that one.
01:23 You never know what the game could have turned around right there, but
01:28 it is what it is.
01:28 >> Do you feel like you took contact on that before the ball got there?
01:33 >> I'm not gonna say if I did or not.
01:34 I'm just gonna say good play by him.
01:37 >> When y'all have had defeats or been your backs up against the wall,
01:40 what's been able y'all to either find a way out or
01:42 kind of maybe manage that situation?
01:44 >> One more time, brother?
01:44 >> When y'all had your backs against the wall at various points over the last
01:47 couple years, what's been the biggest thing to kind of help y'all manage
01:49 that situation and make sure y'all play as well as y'all can?
01:52 >> At the end of the day, man, we just gotta just be us and
01:54 just play bingo football.
01:55 Today we didn't do that.
01:58 We didn't play bingo football.
01:59 Our backs against the wall right now, especially with these last two games
02:03 coming up, with our chances of getting in the playoffs.
02:06 We just gotta get back to who we are, man, and just come out next week fine.
02:10 >> On your touchdown, did you know you were gone?
02:13 Or what was the move there that got you loose?
02:17 >> Yeah, running a little slant route.
02:19 I think the backer tried to pass off, or pass off and pick me up.
02:25 I think he did a little too late.
02:27 And then obviously had the room, the open field right there,
02:31 saw green grass and the rest is history.
02:34 >> How long do you let this feel like?
02:36 >> Man, we lost today, man.
02:39 It is what it is.
02:40 Tough playing ride back home.
02:41 Tomorrow, new day, back at it.
02:43 You know what I'm saying?
02:45 >> This year, some highs and some lows for the team.
