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.
01:28Okay.
