00:00Yeah, we got, you know, I think we were better on third down.

00:12You know, we did a better job in the run game,

00:13but the third down defense is what I'd really point towards.

00:16We just, we kind of settled in there a little bit.

00:19We thought we had some opportunities with a couple of the calls early in the game

00:21to get off the field.

00:22We didn't make the play, but give credit to the coaches and the guys.

00:26You know, they were talking, you know, about those adjustments

00:28and then three points the rest of the way out was huge.

00:35Yeah, it was, you know, it was good for him to step up.

00:42And I think he, you know, ever since he got injured,

00:45he's been a little bit rusty coming back.

00:46He certainly made some plays, but he's been a little rusty too.

00:48And now he's starting to get a couple of good practice weeks under his belt

00:52and, you know, played a really consistent game.

00:54And it's important for us.

00:55He's an important part of our offense and our team.

00:58And, you know, certainly made us, you know,

01:00I think a little bit more versatile tonight.
