All right guys, go ahead and take that. Yeah. Um, we expected *** man coverage, uh, they got into *** type of like match zone. Um, so they covered up our routes and I got out to the left and, um, at this, at that point, the game yards were more important than getting out of bounds. And so with the three time outs, I tried to just cut through and I think it was Justin Watson. I haven't seen the video but I thought he got *** great block. I think it was him and I was able to get down the field and, uh, get out of bounds. Um, um, kind of fumbled out of bounds but I got out of bounds and so I got us in field range is in your mind, you can get extra yard there. Do you think of it as? Yeah, I think it's just certain times in games. Uh I don't, I, it's not like I preplan like that stuff. It's just whenever it comes down to it and you got to make the play, I feel like I try to go out there and make the play and, um, that's why I feel like it happens kind of later in games sometimes and in the playoffs it's, you don't want to slide, you know, you have to kind of put your body out there knowing that you can take hits and stuff like that. Um, but, uh, we were able to, to make some big runs and some big moments. Um I, I mean, I don't know, I think I always say adrenaline will get you through it. Um, but, uh, it, it is, it is helping *** lot when you get *** little bit healthier and you can kind of get your body back into it and um *** credit to the training staff, they stayed on top of me about being in there as much as possible and, um, like I finally was able to get off that, that list this last week and kind of get back to just my normal routine. Um, and, uh, we went out there and made something happen, what the mind of the offense offset of the drive. Yeah, I mean, you want to get as close as possible, give our guy *** chance to make *** field goal. Um, we, we, we call it, we, we go down at the two yard line, one yard line, whatever it is. And um, we were just trying to get *** completion first, which we did and then I, I think I still could have thrown it out there *** little bit further for Xavier. But other than that, I thought we executed at *** high level. Um like we were in that moment just, we got to be better in the whole entire fourth quarter, not just in those, those big moments at the end of the game. What did you have that? I mean, I had *** ton of confidence. I, I've seen him do it in practice. Um since he's been here, he's been going out there working. And so, um I had *** ton of confidence, we got him into his sweet spot and he, and he, he ned right through there. Yeah, I thought we did *** great job moving the football, like you said, you got to execute high and *** higher efficiency in the red zone. Um But I mean, that defense is *** good defense. I mean, they've, they've played hard the entire year. They have *** great defensive coordinator, *** lot of great players that I've went up against in other places. Um And so I thought we did *** good job of executing the offense moving the ball, but like I said, just in that second half, especially in that fourth quarter, we gotta be better. I mean, just putting the game away and not giving them chances. Um um, but, uh, we were able to do it there at the end. No one mentioned just the fact that you gave him the answers before the test on his second touchdown and what coverage was gonna come take us through recognizing that and then going to him. Yeah, it's, it's, we go through it every week. It's not just me, I mean, me, the quarterback coaches and the players, we go through certain checks that you get to for certain coverages and, um, I was able to see by the way they lined up they were getting into their cover zero look, um, just alerted the guys to make sure they saw that what I saw gave the, the check at the line of scrimmage and then you trust your guy to go out there and make *** play and, and uh just put it up there. Well, like I threw *** great ball, just put it up there and let them just go up and make *** play. Yeah. No, I thought he played his tail off man. Um, does *** really good football, you know, it's funny. II I think Texas Tech was the first one to offer him when he was in eighth grade. Um, and I was at Texas Tech, so I remember watching his highlight tapes then, um I knew he was gonna be *** great player and obviously he went to Bama and uh was the first draft pick, but I think uh it's been cool to see him bounce back these last few weeks and play some great football because, you know, I know he has it because I've seen it for *** long time and uh um, he gave us *** scare today, man because he played his tail off. I was hoping to be out of there before he got there. So, uh, no, he's, uh, he's been *** great player for *** long time and won *** lot of football games. Yeah, I mean, you always wanna, you wanna have some blowouts, you wanna be *** little calmer in the fourth quarter. Um, but I've always said it's, it can be *** good thing as you get to the playoffs and later in the season, um, just knowing that you've been in those moments before, um, and knowing how to, how to kind of attack it, but play by play, not making it too big of *** moment. Um, but no, I mean, I'm, I would say this morning, but I would, I would love to win *** game. Not by the very last play. You guys have talked so much about like the grind of the season when that phrase kind of gets mentioned. Does it remind you of days like today? Yeah, for sure. I mean, it's, um, it's all about getting better. I mean, that, that's the best thing about playing in the NFL. It's never like the, the team that's playing the, the beginning of the season, the best is playing the best at the end of the season. It's about just constantly getting better and, you know, it's gonna be *** grind and, um, I think we've done *** great job with that. Coach Reid does *** great job of, of planning it so that we're playing our best football at the end of the year. Um, and there's *** lot to learn from, uh, from today. There's good, there's bad. Um, we got to just go back and learn from that and then know that we have *** short week against, uh, uh, *** hungry football team and the Raiders that is coming to our house. I appreciate you. Ok. Eighth grade is coming right now. I'm good. We're very close.
