00:00Again, Makai's fumble obviously was a huge play on this game.

00:03He walks through the decision to call.

00:05It's a stupid call.

00:07Stupid call.

00:10What was responsible for the struggles of hitting the run tonight?

00:13You know, it was a little different than Illinois.

00:17I didn't feel like, you know, it was a battle, kind of a lot of stalemates at the

00:21line of scrimmage, kind of from what I can see.

00:22I haven't obviously sat and watched the entire tape.

00:25But we, I thought especially, you know, we give up the big one.

00:29We don't stunt to the correct gap on the corner blitz on a very base call for us.

00:33And you give a good player like Love, you know, a huge run, you know, that wasn't a

00:38good start to it.

00:39And I just thought we, I thought we just overcompensated and at times panicked a

00:43little bit where at times, you know, I thought, I thought in the Illinois game when

00:47we didn't defend the run either, you know, we got moved too much.

00:50And this game, again, from the sideline, there was a lot of stalemates, but we had

00:54a lot of guys not stunning into correct gaps or not fitting into correct gaps.

00:58And again, against a really, you know, two really good backs like that, you know,

01:01they're going to make you pay.

01:03We didn't do a good enough job with the ends, setting edges.

01:05And so it just, the execution there was just not good enough.

01:09Excellent.
