00:00 >> Probably just consistency.
00:03 We just gotta make sure we're doing everything we gotta do,
00:05 everything we're taught to do, everything we're coached to do each and every play.
00:07 Can't afford to take a play off, gotta be in the right fits,
00:10 take the right steps, have our eyes in the right place.
00:14 So definitely fundamentals and make sure we're on point every play, every snap.
00:18 Most definitely, I think we fell short this past weekend and
00:21 we definitely gotta go out there and set the tone, send a message.
00:24 Again, it's a rivalry game and it's definitely gonna be high emotions,
00:27 high juices, and we just gotta go out there and make a statement,
00:29 especially as a defense.
00:31 They have the performance that we wanted to this past week against Virginia.
00:34 So we definitely have a chip on our shoulder, have a great mindset,
00:38 have a great way of practice, and go out there and
00:39 make a statement against Duke this week.
00:42 I mean, all the in-state teams for us are definitely rivals.
00:45 You wanna win your state.
00:47 I think as a team, once you win your state, that's definitely when you set
00:50 yourself out there and separate yourself from everybody else,
00:53 especially for recruiting and everything like that.
00:55 So you definitely wanna win your state.
00:56 So all the schools that are in-state, State, Duke, Wake Forest,
00:59 we definitely anticipate the win and wanna go out there and give it our best.
01:04 So definitely all the in-state teams that we consider definitely our rivals.
01:07 They're a good team, smart team, disciplined team.
01:11 They have good execution, good backs.
01:14 They've been talking about their backs a lot.
01:16 So we've gotta make sure we handle them, good quarterback, good receivers.
01:19 And they're gonna go out there and give it their best.
01:22 It's a highly anticipated game for them.
01:24 They're gonna go out there and really go hard.
01:26 So we gotta be ready for everything that they're ready to throw at us.
01:29 But yeah, I think we're gonna have a good game plan.
01:31 Coach Bateman's been doing a great job with us, and
01:33 we're excited to go out there on Saturday.
