00:00 And in the quarterback position, we're playing pretty well.
00:02 We're working three guys.
00:05 Chris Kotrynek is running with the ones and then Gunner, Holmberg and
00:09 Chase Bryce are working reps intermediately after that.
00:14 So real pleased with where we are offensively.
00:17 >> Yeah, I mean, I'll say the first thing is that we're all making each other better
00:21 and that's kind of cliche, but it's really come to life here.
00:25 We haven't really discussed any details, but like I said,
00:30 we're just making each other better.
00:31 We're getting along great, having a lot of fun.
00:33 Coaches on the field, just playing a position of quarterback and
00:37 that's kind of our focus right now.
00:40 >> I'd say for me, I think getting back to a game type tempo was really good.
00:45 Not having a script to look at, but just going out there and
00:47 kind of rolling with what you're called.
00:49 Through a touchdown, that felt good, it had been a while.
00:52 I think every single throw you have is very important.
00:55 Every rep you have is very important.
00:56 You have to have superior focus on every play you do.
00:59 You have to know what you're doing.
01:00 A lot of time has to go in the back end.
01:03 You can't hope for those type of guys to have a bad day.
01:05 Chris and Chase are both playing very well.
01:07 They're all division one quarterbacks.
01:09 You can't sit there and hope they have a bad day and you have a better day.
01:11 You just have to bring your best every single day.
01:14 And they're doing the same.
01:15 So yeah, you just have to continue to make plays and
01:17 stick to your game, I think is the biggest thing.
01:19 >> I've had a, coming from Clemson,
01:23 I had a great relationship with all of the guys there.
01:26 And I wanted to continue that here.
01:28 Because I think not only when you all get along, you teach each other, but
01:33 you're teaching yourself in the same way.
01:35 To be honest with you, I've ran with all three groups and
01:40 it doesn't matter who's out there.
01:43 I've let them know before practice, during teamwork, or
01:48 during one on ones, things like that, to always be ready.
01:52 I wouldn't say that it's every throw and every completion or every drop.
01:59 I think part of the game is not being perfect and you're not gonna be perfect.
02:05 And so I learned that at an early age.
02:07 And so I just go out there and try to play fast.
02:10 And I think that's what they're trying to do too.
02:12 We all are just trying to play fast.
