00:00You guys were missing some key pieces, especially in the secondary in this game.
00:03Why in the second half is the defense so confident despite the loss?
00:08Practice.
00:08We give a lot of reps to our twos and the guys behind our ones
00:12and really make sure, you know, our ones are pushing the twos even harder than anybody.
00:18So a lot of this time, you know, guys are just prepared for it more than anything.
00:21So when the time comes, they're more excited to play than be nervous.
00:25I mean, we really, really having a lot of reps during the week of just focusing
00:29and more than anything, it's not about the quantity of the reps.
00:32It's the quality, being able to focus every rep and not have, you know, no mess-ups or nothing.
00:37So I can't really overemphasize practice too much because, I mean, that's really what it is,
00:42but just really having guys take a lot of reps during practice.
00:45So, you know, everybody feeling comfortable during game day.
00:47Eric, if you have permission, talking to Coach Lynn in the second half,
00:52as not only one of the leaders but one of the emotional leaders of the team,
00:55at what moment during halftime or in the second half did you realize, like, yo, we got this?
01:03I would say going into halftime, really we had a little momentum going into it.
01:09So really coming in, like I said, it's one-week season, so it's win or go home right now.
01:15So it ain't no going home.
01:16We got to win.
01:17So, I mean, everybody, like Coach Lynn said, when your captains can do it, it's one thing.
01:22But when you got walk-ons in the whole team and guys really being a person that's being the guys who pushing us,
01:28I mean, it makes a big difference.
01:30And so I think the whole team is understanding what the culture is,
01:33and that is just fight to the last second.
01:35We're not in denial or feeling like, you know, something bad is going to happen.
01:40Coach Lynn said it, don't hope for nothing, make it happen.
01:43You know, don't hope for nothing good to happen, make the good happen.
01:45So, yeah.
