00:00I think it's always been a very intense rivalry ever since I've been here.
00:07I think last year, it really hurt us a lot with the way it ended.
00:16I think it's definitely just added that extra fuel to a rivalry game that's
00:20already super intense, and now I'm sure they know that and
00:25they know how, I'm sure they are aware of how it ended last year and
00:28how we're feeling about it.
00:30So it's gonna be a good game and they're gonna come out with their best and
00:34we're gonna attempt to do the same.
00:39No, I don't really have any experiences or
00:42haven't heard of any experiences where we've been in like
00:46haven't interacted with any of the players from over there.
00:51So I don't really have much to talk about on that point.
00:55For the season, I think it would just mean that we stayed the course and
01:01we didn't stray away from our habits and how we operate around here.
01:07And we just, we stayed the course and did things the right way and
01:13it corrected itself and we're back on track.
01:17And we're a really good football team.
01:21Yeah, he's really good.
01:26I think seeing him last year, even as a freshman,
01:32he made a lot of plays, a lot of great throws, kept plays alive.
01:38And I thought that was crazy to see from a freshman in his first
01:44year just being that impressive off the bat.
01:49I think this year he's only grown in understanding how college
01:54game operates and he's even better and elevated his game.
01:59So just handling that, that's gonna be a real challenge for us, for sure.
