The feeling I had after the TCU game, just walking off the field, it really just stung me.

Honestly, losing is the greatest teacher. We've learned a lot over the last couple years.

Take those else as lessons, learn from all your mistakes.

Experience is one of the biggest edges you can have as a competitor.

We know what it takes, like, you have to play an almost perfect game when it comes to playoff games.

Like you can't let any little slip up because you're competing at the highest level at that point.

Gotta focus on the little things, the little things to get you beat.

Give it all you got, lock into the details and, you know, do everything you can to make sure you're in the right spot and you're making plays.

It's going out there and being great every single play. You've got to make it perfect.

Like, if you're not making it perfect, we will have another experience against, like,

George and TCU if nobody wants that.

No way we need to be continuously going to the playoff and losing.

It's a national championship this year, and there's nothing less than that.
