00:00 Obviously a unique weekend to deal with.
00:05 Our team had great work yesterday.
00:09 Wasn't easy to rekindle a fire, but we were able to do that.
00:15 We have standards that have to be met.
00:19 It's been a unique year to say the least with dealing with all of
00:24 the time away that the squad spent and getting back in rhythm.
00:31 Didn't play near as well the second week as the first week,
00:35 which puts certainly the pressure right here.
00:38 I'm 100% responsible for that because our standards have to be set by
00:43 the head football coach.
00:45 I don't think there's any question that we have some guys playing really well.
00:50 Can't say enough great things about the way we've pressured the quarterback,
00:54 Vic Demikaje has been outstanding.
00:57 You see Chris Rump showing up, Ben Fry.
01:01 The defensive front has really set a tone for us.
01:05 I think our offensive line has been better and good.
01:08 Devery Hamilton has played really, really well and
01:12 that needs to be said because people don't see that near enough.
01:17 But do we need consistency?
01:19 Absolutely.
01:20 Do we need a little bit more hunger?
01:23 Absolutely.
01:24 I'm looking forward to the week of practice,
01:27 the opportunities as they present themselves, continuing to move forward.
01:34 And we will attack the problems.
01:35 We've never run away from any issues since we've been here and
01:39 we're certainly not running away from this one.
