Opening statement...
Well, we came in Sunday and graded the Tulsa tape. It was hard film to watch. But you know, really, when I saw when I turned on the film is excellent from our players. Multiple guys on defense played 94-snaps in that game, which is incredible. And, you know, really felt like our guys laid it on the line playing hard for four quarters.
The disappointing part is at the end of the day, it came down to about seven or eight plays. And really, they were spread out between the offense, defense and special teams each group. Even though they made some plays, each group had a chance really to finish the game at different points and we didn't get done. So the message for our guys, when they came in Monday morning, was we're not going to run from it. We're gonna watch it. We sat there watched every play, whatever, the good, the bad, the things we need to correct, the encouraging things that we can build off of. And then we said we gotta move on. That’s it. We’re not going to talk about it anymore. And we’ve got two games in the next nine days. We got to turn our focus 100 percent to Temple and hopefully use that game Saturday as encouragement for how close we are to breaking through.
You know, they had a really nice win a couple weeks ago, against Memphis, they're number nine in the country in pass defense, they've recruited extremely well, they brought in a good number of transfers on defense, and offense. And as you know, they'll be rested up and ready to go. Our full focus is really being able to turn the page as a team and put everything into this Temple game. Saturday night
