00:00Does anyone approach to you about taking a volunteer red shirt to preserve the year just at this point of the season?
00:07No, not really. Not really. Most of our red shirts, I think, were pretty well defined.
00:13You know, I think the kids from the outside have struggled a little bit.
00:18I know the NCAA finally came out and said they're not going to do the five for five right now.
00:24You know, just some of the back and forth on that, I think both them and the schools, not just us,
00:29have been trying to make decisions playing, just guessing on what that's going to be like.
00:33I still have a hard time imagining that that won't happen at some point.
00:37I know they're going to wait until, I guess, what we were told actually today was until after next season
00:42and kind of reevaluate it. So we'll see what happens from that.
00:45But right now, no. I mean, the guys that have been playing are still teed up to play.
00:50You talked about pouring reps into certain guys. Is that more of cutting down the rotation
00:54or is that getting guys ready who you need to rely on more right now?
00:58I'd say a combination of both. You know, where you get to the end of the season
01:01or the latter part of the season, and your reps are always going to start getting trimmed a little bit.
01:06I mean, these guys have been going for a while now.
01:08You know, you can't always just come out and practice the same number of reps
01:11that you do in August or September.
01:13So with that, you know, you've got to trim down, you know, who you're working.
01:17And I think we're just trying to be efficient with our reps and our guys' time right now.
01:21I mean, when you play the schedule that we do,
01:23we can't afford to just sit out here and be reckless and rep guys just for the hell of it.
01:27So guys that we feel like got a really good chance to come in there and help us,
01:30we're trying to pour those in.
01:32But I'm just trying not to come back after a practice week.
01:35And while we poured all these reps into this combination or that,
01:38and we didn't even use it in the game,
01:40I just, for where we're at right now with our roster,
01:42with some of the injuries we've had,
01:43with obviously the quality of our schedule,
01:46that's just not a luxury that we have right now.
