00:00 >> Yeah, I mean, we're using loss for motivation.
00:03 Cuz last year, I mean, we didn't get the outcome we wanted, but
00:08 we've been game planning.
00:10 We know they'd like to hurry up on offense, so we're just getting ready for that.
00:15 Nothing too crazy, just getting ready, preparing for them.
00:20 For today's practice, we had two different huddles for scout team,
00:25 running in and out plays rapidly, rapid speed.
00:28 It's not like the usual practice, but with the hurry up, we had two huddles for
00:32 scout team, they just ran in and out, and we didn't come off the field,
00:36 we just stayed on.
00:37 I mean, you just gotta practice, we gotta practice hard,
00:40 can't get tired with a hurry up offense.
00:42 Cuz you know they can run a lot of plays quick, so we just have to condition
00:47 during practice, stay up during practice, and just prepare for this Saturday.
00:52 I mean, we just have to keep getting better, keep getting better in our scheme,
00:56 and just do what the coaches are telling us, and just execute.
00:59 I mean, V Tech, I mean, give that guy credit, or give their backs credit,
01:03 they did do a good job running the ball.
01:05 But we're prepared, we're prepared this week to stop the run, and
01:10 whatever they got to go against us.
01:12 Yeah, I mean, that's always the goal to get three and outs or turnovers.
01:16 I feel like we need to make more turnovers in the back end,
01:21 which we definitely will this week.
01:25 But yeah, we just been preparing for this hurry up that they have, and
01:29 being coached up to execute our plan to stop the hurry up offense.
01:33 What I would say to the fans is, I mean, we just been working.
01:38 We can't let this 0-4 start, stop our momentum.
01:42 I feel like we're going into Syracuse, a good team, but very beatable.
01:48 And then again on the road with NC State, I mean, I just feel like we got seven more
01:53 games, we got to get it cranked up, which I feel like it won't be,
01:59 it'll be tough, but we're ready.
02:00 We're ready for the challenge that we got down the road for us, but
02:03 it's gonna be a tough journey, but we're ready for it.
