00:00Coach, players, can you talk about how you're approaching this game?

00:04I know, D-Nick, you won't be here next year,

00:07but how are you guys approaching this game looking forward to 2026?

00:12You know, I feel like the bowl games are a big momentum going into the offseason.

00:17So it's been fun to see a lot of guys that you haven't seen get a lot of reps in the fall.

00:22You've been able to get them a lot of reps in practice.

00:24You're going to see some guys play that haven't played quite as much in the fall.

00:27So it's really just kind of setting the foundation for next year.

00:35Yeah, I'll say kind of the same thing and just putting on a show

00:41and not putting any bad product on the field

00:43and, you know, just end this thing the right way with our brothers.

00:47And just like Coach said, that momentum going into the offseason

00:50and then for me leaving out better than I found it

00:54and just showing the young guys, you know, how things are supposed to be done

00:56and the way to finish off.

01:00I agree.

01:01It's a big momentum boost for us.

01:03And I feel like it's going to be big for the guys to come back

01:07and to really just look back on this game

01:10and see what they've got to improve on.

01:11Myself, you can be players that are coming back

01:13and really be able to attack that in the offseason

01:15and really be able to develop from that aspect.

01:18For me, it's the same goal, just the same mindset I go into every game.

01:25It's just to win.

01:25For me, it has nothing to do with 2026.

01:28I'm just focused on the now.
