Well, good morning, everybody. Appreciate y'all being here. You know, obviously coming off the game on Saturday,

it was, you know, a lot of really good film to go back and watch. I was really pleased just with the fight from our players.

I thought they really competed for 60 minutes. You know, defensively, it was probably our most complete performance that we've had.

I just love the effort, the energy, the physicality that showed up throughout the course of the game.

We knew we were going to see a variety of different looks and potential schemes in the game,

and I thought our guys did a good job of handling that.

It really made it difficult for Syracuse to really get anything rolling. We're able to, you know, you worked good after the quarterback, not let him get into a rhythm. And, you know, I thought our defensive backs did a good job, you know, breaking up passes, you know, playing with good leverage, you know, good technique. You know, it was a, you know, just a really, you know, good performance by our guys on

that side of the ball. You know, special teams, you know, we were able to have some game-changing

plays and within those units. You just thought it's a few mistakes and things that we need to

clean up. You know, had a couple penalties that really cost us from just an absolute, you know, dominant performance, you know, but, you know, I thought, you know, Keon's return was a big play. You know, obviously great to see that, you know, starting to show up. You know, it's back-to-back weeks with returns of over 30 yards. You know, there's a lot of confidence that's building within that unit. You know, I thought Ryan was remarkable. You know, all of his kickoffs were touchbacks. You know, he did a great job kicking field goals. Just really, really proud of him and the strides that he's continuing to make. And then, you know, Alex, you know, was able to flip the field in our punt protection. You know, I thought Jukai Douglas really made a great impact in his coverage, him, C.J. Campbell, some guys, you know, Kailen DeLoch. I mean, a lot of guys that were really showing up, just with great speed and energy down the field that's helping us in those units. So, you know, I was really pleased of the special teams units and how we played offensively.

You know, I thought we battled throughout, you know, there was, you started fast.

You know, it was good to see some, you know, extraordinary plays that were made.

I thought, you know, you know, you been able to go and get that first touchdown was big.

You know, we had some mistakes that showed up.

You know, we were as, you know, not as consistent as I'd like us to be, you know, had

some, probably the most, you know, missed assignments or missed signal or, you know, missed

communication as much in that game as what we had in really any.

And so that was something that's just as a coaching staff

that we gotta do a better job of

and make sure that our guys are ready to,

ready to go and execute in a lot of different situations.

So I'm gonna take full ownership on that.
