00:00You probably get tired of answering the younger guy questions from me,

00:03but are there going to be any of those guys making their debut, so to speak, in this bowl game?

00:08Well, we'll certainly, you know, we're going to play this game without, you know,

00:12quite a few guys that played during the season for us.

00:15And so, yeah, I mean, there's going to be guys all over the place, right,

00:20that are going to have some opportunities.

00:22I mean, all sides of the ball, all position groups, really.

00:25I mean, maybe it's some of the guys that you saw just a little bit in the season,

00:29and I think in some instances there will be some guys that get some burn in this game

00:33that maybe haven't played at all or very, very little.

00:36And so that's some of the excitement out here in these practices.

00:39I mean, honestly, the games are – the bowl game is great, and it's – you know,

00:43they're great experiences.

00:46If you said, though, like what's the most valuable part of all this, like it's days like this,

00:50like where we're just pouring reps into all of these guys,

00:53and it's really competitive out here, and the energy is just different

00:57because, like, all these guys, like, feel like it's kind of their time.

01:00And so you feel these guys rising up, and then with the anticipation

01:04of getting to play a game at the end of this, it's – I mean, like I said,

01:07these last two weeks have been so valuable.

01:09I mean, so many of these guys have developed.

01:10And, yeah, it gets you excited for this game.

01:13More importantly, it gets you excited for the future.
