All right, we're back.

No, we're back after spring now.

So you've got all the spring in the river mirror.

So I guess I can ask you how spring to go.

balancing act with it, but I thought we got better as a football team. We got a lot of new faces. And we

have 43 new faces this spring, which is a high number for us. So it was learning a lot of players,

learning their strengths beyond just what we saw on tape, whether it was a high school

kid or a transfer, and then trying to build upon those strengths and then identifying weaknesses

and then kind of correcting those weaknesses as we go. But I let this football team that we have

was really intentional this spring. They tried to get better. They competed at a really

high level this spring and they tried to get better. And I felt like we improved in all three

phases. And we're not a finished product. We're far from it. But I felt better after practice

15 that I did after practice one. And that's a good thing from a head coach's perspective.
