00:00 Yeah, I give credit to North Carolina.
00:03 They came out the first half, they threw a couple punches.
00:07 They made some big plays, we dug ourselves in the hole.
00:10 So give them credit, they got a good quarterback, two good running backs and
00:15 a solid O-line, they have a balanced attack.
00:17 So you just gotta give them credit for what they did.
00:20 We knew coming into the game that they were gonna try to limit our pass rush.
00:25 They kept it tight in a couple times, did a couple of match protections,
00:29 play action most of the game.
00:30 So the main thing we have to do, we just play a little bit faster,
00:34 read out of those sometimes, and just make plays.
00:38 But you gotta give them credit for coming up with a game plan.
00:41 We were around the quarterback.
00:43 We made him uncomfortable a couple times back there.
00:46 We gotta finish, I missed a couple sacks.
00:49 I think a couple of other guys missed a couple of sacks.
00:51 But main thing, they were doing play action, keeping it tight in.
00:56 They did a good job protecting.
00:58 Like I said, they had a game plan coming into the game to try to slow us down.
01:01 They executed, so we gotta go back to the drawing board,
01:06 take this by a week and getting back to the pass.
01:10 I'm in the locker room, my fault.
01:14 I must have tried to take my cleats off.
01:16 They were trying to get me up here quick, but it was nothing special or anything.
