I appreciate everybody being here. It's been, you know, been a good and challenging week, you know,

for our guys, you know, trying to, you know, obviously, you'll keep the focus on each day.

You know, obviously there's a lot of excitement for, you know, getting to Saturday. But, you know,

for us, it's just trying to keep the primary focus on each day, you know, excitement for, you know, getting to Saturday, but, you know, for us,

it's just trying to keep the primary focus on each day, you know, each meeting, you know,

every play that we have throughout the course of practice, just trying to go get better.

And, you know, to learn the lessons through the experiences that we've had and just to be able to go,

you'll apply those corrections and to build the confidence throughout the course of the week. And I think our guys, you know, energy level last couple of days

has been extremely high. You know, there's a fight and a determination to see, you know,

their best show up. And that's what we're all striving for. It's, you know, I've been proud of them for, you know, just the mentality of what's what they're bringing and, and the way that they're, you know, embracing their own challenge because, you know, there's no, you know, every one of these guys, you know, want to go out and be successful individually, collectively as a team, you know, and just, you'll be able to represent this program,

you know, in a certain fashion. So, you know, they've, we got a great group. And I do, like I said,

I love, I love, you know, coaching each of the individuals to see in their, you know, their pursuit

of improvement. And, you know, I'm excited to see how this week

continues to unfold but you know they they have done a nice job of keeping that

that primary focus. How has Tommy Handel practice as far as feeling good? I mean I

you know I'm feeling very confident where it's trending but you know obviously

you'll be able to you know get a little bit more as we get, you know, later on in the week.

But I think he's handled the things he's been asked to do very well.

Bertha.

Were you anticipating in terms of kind of complicated question, but we've seen fan reactions across the country for teams that haven't done maybe as well as the families would want, and it gets loud, sometimes negative.

I know that can always be a part of the game, but do you have any anticipation, I guess, for what this weekend can bring?

No, I mean, anticipation is that's going out and playing our best game.
