00:00Yeah, I think we have to first of all, we'll address myself.
00:04And I really ask our coaches to be very critical in anything they feel or see.
00:11You kind of get to get in a rhythm, you have to feel comfortable with it.
00:14I felt good for the most part in South Bend.
00:18Today, again, with some of the things we've worked on all week long,
00:23kind of had to push to the side, you got to respond better.
00:27You have to adjust and change on the run better.
00:30I've got to get better.
00:31I'm just plain and simple and we can and will and
00:35then we have to take care of the ball chase.
00:37I got to put him in better positions.
00:39I think the temptation that he's got to resist is trying to force plays.
00:44You can make plays and he's a playmaker, but you can't force plays and
00:49we got to do a better job of having our receivers and
00:52our quarterback on the same page to where they are in areas we expect.
00:58We get a lot of work against man coverage against our own defense,
01:02not near as much as we get with zone.
01:05It's hard to simulate it with young players playing against you and
01:09I don't think we did a great enough job of that simulation to help him.
01:15We will get better offensively across the board and no question.
01:19He's got a lot of ability, he's tough.
01:22He makes plays for us, but he's got to be on that circumstance, that bubble and
01:27when you know, you got to take care of the ball, you can't force a play.
01:31I thought he played terrific from the sideline.
01:35He made a couple of throws that you don't have answers for.
01:39He scrambled well, he extended plays well.
01:42He made a couple of cross field throws to the tight end that were extremely accurate.
01:47So an outstanding big strong football player that's got some mobility.
01:52I think he will have an outstanding year from what we saw today.
