00:00What was the reason for no 11th?

00:02Yeah, there was a violation of a team policy,

00:06and that was a decision that was made.

00:09In what way do you feel if the team did take away?

00:13In every way, honestly.

00:16In every way.

00:17I think we're a better team, we're a better program now

00:20than we were 12 months ago.

00:23I think this team, I think some of the resilience

00:28that we showed throughout the year,

00:31it'll be easy with this team to kind of sit back

00:33and there'll be a little bit of what if,

00:34especially with all the different guys

00:35that we didn't play with all year.

00:38But there's always part of that.

00:40And this team just, in my opinion,

00:41never let it become an excuse.

00:43And we won tough games.

00:46We were able to win games a lot of different ways.

00:48The way we played in the second half,

00:50really throughout the entire season,

00:53I just think there's just so, so much to build on.

00:57And these guys, these two guys here

00:59and a lot of those guys in that locker room

01:01are responsible for it.

01:03And this program is going to get better and better.

01:05We'll have better teams here in the future than this team.

01:10But I don't know if we'll have had a more important team.

01:15This team was really, really important to what we're doing.

01:19And so I couldn't be prouder of them.

01:21Yeah.

01:22Yeah.

01:25Yeah.
