00:00Yeah, awesome, awesome win.

00:03I mean, awesome win.

00:05You know, privately we were excited about the challenge that this became.

00:10You know, flipping time zones,

00:13obviously the tough battle in Lincoln just a few days ago

00:16and then having to turn over and play a really good football team

00:19coming off a bye week.

00:22I just felt like this last two games,

00:25I felt like this would be a really important stretch for this season.

00:27And cool to see our guys respond.

00:31We had probably our most complete week,

00:34and it had to be because it was such a short week

00:36and we didn't have time to waste.

00:37And I thought the guys dove into the preparation and the challenge

00:40and met it head on, and I think you saw that tonight.

00:44So we got contributions from all sides.

00:48You know, defense second week in a row that we've, I think,

00:50held opponents to just a field goal in the second half.

00:54Can't say enough about some of the adjustments that we made.

00:57Put a lid on the run game.

00:59You know, we did a really nice job on third downs,

01:01kind of after the first couple there and really settled in.

01:05Obviously offensively, you know, played definitely a little bit cleaner.

01:08Made some big plays.

01:09You know, none bigger than, you know, Jaden's form tackle down there in the end zone,

01:15which was an awesome play.

01:16And obviously had some cool special teams plays too that really contributed.

01:21So it was an awesome win.

01:23It really was.

01:24It was a challenging win, and we've got ourselves in a pretty fun position right now.

01:28Okay.

01:28You
