Transcript
00:00At the end of the first half, 11 seconds left, and it looked like you maybe could have two chances to try to score a touchdown in the first play and take six seconds.
00:08Just take me through that.
00:09Yeah, that's right. No, no regrets. It's right on the edge. I mean, it's, you know, you call a play, thought we had a shot at it, and I thought Jay did the right job playing it out.
00:18It was just right on the edge of if we take a shot or not in that moment.
00:22And just being how the half had gone, you know, we'd move the ball up and down the field.
00:27Obviously, we had the huge penalty on the trick play that was seven points right there.
00:31I mean, we really, they really didn't stop us. I mean, really ever.
00:36We started drives and obviously a couple of penalties and that really hurt us.
00:39So I just felt like, though, at that point for us to get in, you know, down, I think four it was at the time, I just felt like it was the right time to go ahead and do it.
00:50Obviously, you know, those things can play out different ways.
00:52You can say, well, throw a quick pass. What if it gets tipped up in the air?
00:55You know what I mean? Like that five seconds is just right on the edge.
00:58Could have gone either way. We decided to kick it.
