00:00You know, to get the ball back with a little bit of time and

00:05our guys go execute a two minute drive, I think just tells you the heart and

00:09resilience, resiliency of our group.

00:12We talk about strength in numbers with some guys that had to step up their

00:15opportunities and they were ready for their opportunities this week, which is

00:18unbelievable, great for them.

00:20I know everybody want some updates on injuries and where guys are at.

00:24You know, I'm really just proud of the way the guys played.

00:26But, you know, ultimately it's kind of a weird, weird week.

00:28You know, we didn't actually didn't have a lot of contact.

00:31The Corian kind of tweaked his knee on a non-contact play and spiders think he's

00:36going to be okay, but was obviously out tonight.

00:38Kenyon's really been kind of had lingering injuries since the Rutgers game where

00:43he makes a big catch in the end zone and just we wanted to give him the ability

00:46to try to recover from that because we've, he's tried to practice and it

00:48hasn't been what it needed to be and Harky rolled his ankle, but he was really

00:52close to being able to potentially help us in this game and kind of same with

00:55D-Jack. So all those guys being out, you see a bunch of guys step up and you

01:00need guys to step up in big moments like this, face some adversity early in the

01:04game with the interception and guys just putting each other on each other's back,

01:08right? Defense coming up with a big takeaway.

01:11Really good. We said special teams had to be special tonight.

01:13We weren't going to let 21 beat us in special teams, right?

01:16I thought our guys didn't announce any job of covering and you can't say enough

01:19good things about Atticus Sappington. You want to talk about ice in your veins in a

01:22moment like that. Several big kicks. I probably should have tried the kick

01:26earlier. It was a little bit of a long field goal with the wind down there in

01:29that end and we ended up putting it. But, you know, ultimately really proud of the

01:35way these guys played and attacked. We can open it up.
