00:00I would say first and foremost it comes down to all 11 guys on the offense doing
00:04their jobs so that comes you know that comes down to the quarterback making the
00:07right play call the offensive line making our combination calls making sure
00:11we're you know attacking the right aiming points when the running back
00:14doesn't make it through the line you know the tight ends and receivers on the
00:17outside staying on their guys and I think that's really what the you know we
00:21did and what you guys saw against Syracuse and that's why we were able to
00:24you know rack up 300 plus yards of rushing you know against NC State
00:29obviously you know a little bit better run defense but still at the end of the
00:34day it comes down to us doing our jobs there is times in the game where we just
00:39had some miscommunication in terms of you know the the aiming points the
00:44points of contact that we're trying to attack you know and we clean those up on
00:48Sundays the day after the games but those are really the big things it's not
00:52really about what the other the other team is doing because at the end of the
00:56day we should know our offense our scheme better than the defense knows
01:00their scheme so no matter what they do we should know our answers to it and you
01:06know that's something that you know we just have to continue to grow I continue
01:09to work on week by week and this week is a great week not having a game just to
01:14hone in not on what other people are doing but what we are doing and
01:18examining what we can do better well you know it started off honestly in training
01:22camp with him coming in you know putting good stuff on film not only a
01:27tackle but other positions in training camp and so that's what really set
01:31himself up to be in the position to come into the game I thought he did well in
01:35the game you know obviously first time playing true freshman you know it can be
01:40a little nerve-wracking but I thought he came in there and he played really well
01:43so you know this is opportunity for him to you know build on his career
01:48especially with these last five games just to keep improving keep getting
01:51those game reps and then you know continue his career next year
