00:00Coach, after a win like this, what kind of opportunity

00:03do you see moving forward?

00:06It's a great win.

00:07It's, you know, to me it's all about tonight right now

00:11and this team and the performance.

00:12I mean, that's a good football team that we just beat here.

00:15And that was an important win.

00:17And so, yeah, now it's on to the next.

00:20I mean, when you play our schedule,

00:21like there's not too much time to celebrate.

00:24We know we've got another big football game coming up.

00:27And, you know, we'll be excited to go back and prepare

00:30the way that we did this week and get ready for that one.

00:32You have 25 commits here and you had one

00:34of the most impressive lists in the 2027, 2028 prospects here.

00:38How much was maybe on the line here tonight?

00:42I mean, yeah, I mean, football for us,

00:45it's a week to week thing, man.

00:46You know, it's our job.

00:47This is our life.

00:48And so we put everything into these weeks and these games.

00:51I mean, I don't know that it felt any different than other ones

00:54do.

00:55I think you sense the moment of the atmosphere

00:58that these two programs, obviously, how good they've

01:00been recently.

01:02You know, it was a big opportunity.

01:03There's no question.

01:04I don't like to say on the line.

01:06I felt like it was a big opportunity we didn't want to miss.

01:08So, yeah.

01:09And I think, you know, for all the talk and people

01:12want to discuss this and that, for those recruits and the people

01:16that were in the building tonight, I would imagine a lot of people

01:19would say that's what it used to feel like around here in the Coliseum.

01:22And that was an epic atmosphere.

01:26The place was just on fire.

01:27And I think it was great for our guys.

01:29Our players, our future players, you know, LA, just everyone

01:34liked to see that.

01:36And it was an important step.

01:38I'll definitely concede that.
