00:00You know, again, in terms of the operation there from the 30, you know, we ran the ball

00:09one time, tried to get a few more yards right there.

00:12We felt good in terms of where the kick line was.

00:15The wind was not a factor today, and Cairo's made a bunch of those kicks in that inside

00:20of that range, and we feel confident in Cairo and confident in our operation there.

00:25Again, I got to look at the tape.

00:27I don't know exactly what happened in terms of the block, but I feel good about where

00:32that was.

00:33Yeah, you know, they were loading the box there, you know, so you could say you could

00:36do that for sure, maybe get a couple more yards, but you also risk, you know, fumbling

00:41and different things there.

00:42We felt where we were, you know, if we got the 36 or 35, you know, you're definitely

00:46doing that because you want to get it inside there.

00:49I felt very confident where we were at that time with the wind and where we were on the

00:54field.

00:55Yeah, we thought he was in good position.

00:56I mean, I got all the information I got from the coaches, you know, I still haven't looked

00:58at the videotape, but they like got the stills, and they say he was in a really good position.

01:02That's what Jalen said, and then he just got tripped up, you know, and so I threw the challenge

01:07flag because I thought the ball hit the ground and the hand was on the side, and that's what

01:11we challenged, and they saw it differently.

01:14Yeah, fourth and three, I believe it was, yeah, fourth and three, yeah.

01:18That time in the game where the score was right there, we thought punt and pin and have

01:21us play defense.

01:22We got the big play to Watson and so forth and ended up, you know, scoring, and then

01:26we ended up stopping at two point, but, you know, that's where it was at the point, and

01:30the guys did a good job, and Thomas did a really good job in terms of me communicating

01:35with him on those other fourth down tries when we were three for three, and I thought

01:39those were important, but again, those were impactful plays as we went, but great communication

01:44all the way.
