00:00Coach, one more on the horse fumble.

00:01How did that change the complexion of the game

00:03and potentially the season?

00:05Oh, I don't know.

00:06I read in season.

00:07I mean, just it was a big play in this game.

00:09You know, I think just to grab some momentum there before half.

00:14And, you know, we really took over the game after that.

00:17But you've got to make some of those key plays.

00:19I mean, they were, you know, they were kind of fortunate.

00:21The guy popped out.

00:22It was kind of a unique play.

00:23And then, you know, both sides were playing hard

00:26and made a good play.

00:26And that one bounced in our favor.

00:28But, you know, when your team fights hard all the time,

00:32then you don't have to worry about when those opportunities are going to come up

00:35because, like, you're ready and you're in position

00:37when the plays are there to be made.

00:38When your team is picking and choosing when they're going to play hard

00:42or when they're going to, as Jaden said, sacrifice their body,

00:45then there's going to be those ones that come up that you never know

00:48because they weren't going hard enough to be in position to make the play anyways.

00:51And right now, especially these last couple weeks,

00:53I mean, our team is really sacrificing themselves.

00:56I think it's important that when you watch us play any side of the ball

01:00any time of the game that it looks the same.

01:02You know, it shouldn't look different.

01:04And that's the team taking pride in the team's performance.

01:07And I think that's really growing with this one right now.
