00:00 >> Man, I'm just really appreciative of the effort of the guys.
00:03 Obviously, this is a tough place to play.
00:06 That's probably three or four years in a row right there that we've been able to
00:09 come up here and get it done.
00:10 And so we're thankful for that, for the efforts.
00:13 It was a tough environment today from a climate perspective.
00:17 The ball security component was a challenge, but
00:21 it was a challenge for both teams.
00:23 I thought it was significant in terms of how the game unfolded,
00:26 particularly in the first half for us.
00:28 We were down there scoring territory a couple of times, man, and
00:30 came away with no points because of lack of ball security.
00:34 But as I said, it was gonna be a challenging environment and it was.
00:37 Thankfully, we made enough plays to secure victory.
00:41 Can't say enough about Eric Rowe, man,
00:45 on another elevation, man, made a significant play on that punch out.
00:49 His efforts, Miles Jack's efforts, man,
00:55 just solidifying us in some positions, man, where we were really low on manpower.
01:01 And those two guys have been significant not only today, but
01:05 over the last three weeks in terms of what we've done.
01:08 Obviously, Rudolph's done a nice job, but
01:10 I'd be remiss if I didn't mention those two guys as well.
01:12 TJ is being evaluated with a knee injury.
01:17 I'll have more information probably next time we get together.
01:20 Obviously disappointed in that, but
01:24 there are challenges in the game of football, there are challenges in life.
01:27 So we'll deal with it, whatever it may be.
