00:00 >> He's done a nice job.
00:02 Like I mentioned when we inserted him, he's got a great deal of confidence in
00:06 himself and it is real.
00:07 I think it's contagious.
00:10 He's aggressive in style of play.
00:14 And I think that's helpful, particularly when you're up against it.
00:18 The calculated risk taking associated with pursuit of victory is important.
00:24 And he's displayed those things.
00:27 But it's more than obviously what he has done, it's what we have done,
00:31 that collective has done.
00:33 We've run the ball extremely well over the last two weeks.
00:37 We've been in manageable possession down circumstances.
00:40 We run the ball well in the red area, particularly yesterday,
00:45 three rushing touchdowns, two in through the red area.
00:47 You're not absorbing a lot of risk when you're performing and
00:52 performing in that way.
00:54 And so it's just been a good trend for us.
00:57 Our desire is to keep that trend rolling.
01:00 We're going into a hostile environment versus a really good opponent,
01:03 one that's extremely hot, obviously.
01:05 And so we better utilize all the mojo at our disposal in an effort to secure
01:10 victory.
01:10 >> Coach, is Mason Rudolph the best quarterback on your roster right now?
01:13 >> I hadn't analyzed it in that way.
01:16 I'm just looking at where we are and what we need to do this week.
01:19 That's probably more of a end of the year type analysis, man.
01:22 We're on a short week, and we're trying to put together a formula to win this game.
01:26 >> If you go into the playoffs, does he keep the ball?
01:28 >> It depends on what happens this week, to be quite honest with you, man.
01:33 We're more of a day by day, week by week outfit at this point.
01:37 Hypotheticals and speculation is fruitless for us.
01:41 We got so many tangible challenges and so much tangible work to do.
01:45 We're just not wasting a lot of time speculating things in that nation.
