00:00 >> Yeah, I mean, we kinda thought the schedule would change at one point, so
00:03 it's good to finally see it and what it is and what it's gonna be.
00:07 But as for preparation, Notre Dame's a great team and we respect them, but
00:12 we're still gonna prepare as we would, no matter who we played the first game.
00:15 But it's definitely exciting opening up with a team like them.
00:19 I mean, we feel really good.
00:21 Our spring ball got cut short, obviously, cuz coronavirus, so
00:26 we're still getting used to Coach Fry and learning and
00:29 getting more comfortable with his drills.
00:30 And we have a really good bond with him and we trust Coach Fry.
00:34 And I think we're in a really good spot on the offensive line and
00:37 have a lot of depth with Devery coming in and the new freshman.
00:40 So I think we're in a really good spot.
00:42 Yeah, I mean, we trust Coach Cutcliffe as a head coach and
00:45 definitely as an offensive coordinator.
00:48 And I like what we've been doing and we're gonna go all in for
00:52 whatever we do, so I think it'll work out well.
00:56 I mean, I think what every offense wants to get done, we wanna put more points
01:01 on the board, get more yards, be more physical, less turnovers.
01:06 So, obviously, I think we all hope we have a season and it all goes smooth.
01:11 It really fluctuated.
01:14 I think sometimes it was really concerning and
01:16 didn't really know what was happening,
01:18 especially with other sports going on and getting canceled.
01:21 But as for practice, workouts and everything leading up to this,
01:26 we've been distanced, trying to follow guidelines.
01:29 But practice today felt pretty smooth.
01:31 We had shields on our face masks and everything felt pretty normal besides that.
