I guess the big thing Indiana is 10 to0
0:04
regardless of style points and no style
0:05
points like Co 6 said you're 10 to0 what
0:08
are your thoughts on on you guys
0:09
reaching this Market uh it's a blessing
0:11
it's something we knew we were capable
0:13
of and just uh you know a conclusion of
0:17
all the hard work that's been put in
0:18
this far and you know it's just a
0:20
milestone into where we actually want to
0:22
go so we're happy but we're not sa what
0:25
do you what do you think when you you
0:26
know see the fans like into it like they
0:28
were what's that like to be a player
0:30
know you kind of gave that to your fan
0:31
base you know it's a blessing you know
0:33
this is kind of what you come to these
0:34
schools to to be a part of you know when
0:37
we were taking the knee you know I
0:38
actually took a time to actually look
0:39
around and be like damn this is crazy
0:41
like you know it's just special it's
0:43
just special Kurt said the pun was kind
0:45
of a hard one to to field what did you
0:47
kind of see on the play and what was
0:48
your mindset there kind of coming into
0:49
the game for miles on the first one the
0:53
second one the second uh the first one I
0:56
kind of saw like I was looking at the
0:58
Gunners too long and that was my first
1:00
time being back there in a while but you
1:02
know the second one you know I wasn't
1:03
going to let the opportunity slip away
1:04
again and you know I Peak down when the
1:06
ball was short and I saw I had space and
1:09
the rest is just you know catch the ball
1:10
and make something happen how tough is
1:12
it to come off the bench on that at that
1:14
position uh I mean I wouldn't say it's
1:16
too tough you know I rep it a lot in
1:17
practice you know prepare for the moment
1:19
that we we we might need me or you know
1:22
we're blowing the team out and we got to
1:23
put the backup guy and you know I'm
1:25
prepared for those moments a lot of reps
1:27
put in in time so you know not too bad
1:29
did you feel the offense take a sigh of
1:31
relief after that kind of that that big
1:33
play uh it's definitely momentum shifter
1:36
to you know to flip the field and get
1:37
good field position but you know a
1:39
relief you know we know we're capable of
1:41
so you know any anytime anywhere you
1:43
know we we'll be ready to go when they
1:46
were making stops against you guys was
1:48
there any dip in confidence I mean what
1:49
was sort of the the the mood on the
1:51
sideline nah we're extremely confident
1:53
group we know what we're we're we're
1:54
capable of and we're clicking you know
1:56
we had a series of unfortunate plays but
1:58
you know we had our defense there to
2:01
pick us up at all times and you know
2:03
when you got a defense and you got
2:04
another area of the game that can pick
2:05
you up you know we're never there's
2:08
never no diping confidence in anybody on
2:09
our side of the ball what does it mean
2:11
to be the first 10 and0 or 10- win team
2:13
I should say in Indiana history um it's
2:15
it's special like I said you know you're
2:18
making history but you know you can't
2:20
let it be get to get to you too much cuz
2:22
you know it's still a lot of ball left
2:24
that we're capable of playing so you
2:26
know we we're we we recognize that it's
2:29
a a big accomplishment but we recognize
2:31
also that it's not the end did you get a
2:33
sense of what was happening offensively
2:34
in the second half I me KK just said you
2:35
guys were not making the plays you
2:37
normally make did you sense why that was
2:40
yeah you know just sometimes you know
2:42
the the ball just doesn't go your way
2:44
you know but you know it's part of the
2:46
game you know you're not going to be on
2:47
top of the hill forever you know there's
2:48
going to be this but you got to maintain
2:49
St focused stay poised keep confidence
2:52
in yourself and keep rolling so what's
2:54
it show about this team that you were
2:55
able to pull out a game like today when
2:57
you know went ugly not playing at your
2:59
best but still P out win it just shows
3:00
the resilience you know that it takes
3:03
more than just the offense it takes more
3:04
than just the defense it takes more than
3:06
just special teams it takes all three
3:07
units to click together at one time and
3:09
you know when you're doing enough and
3:11
you're a good team and you stay
3:12
confident stay poised in those moments
3:14
you know no moment is too big so do you
3:17
have any curiosity how this team would
3:18
react to a fourth quarter situation like
3:20
that because you really haven't been in
3:22
one all season no I didn't I wasn't too
3:24
worried or too curious cuz I you know we
3:27
had times when we started slow and we
3:28
picked it up you know
3:30
when youve performed how we perform all
3:32
year you know there's never no doubt you
3:33
know we're never on a Sil like dang this
3:35
might be it like n we know like you know
3:37
we get out there and we do our thing you
3:39
know what I'm saying we going to make
3:40
some stuff happen
3:41
so what is it that makes you guys such a
3:43
Bo team together just experience
3:46
confidence in each other one another
3:48
knowing that the guy next year is going
3:49
to do his job as long as you do yours
3:52
and you know we're experienced group we
3:54
got a lot of older guys in the room and
3:56
all faets at all levels of offense
3:58
who've played a lot of games and played
3:59
a lot of big moment games and just we
4:01
just know what we're capable of how much
4:03
are you going to use the poor second
4:05
half as motivation going into the bye
4:07
and then a high stay I wouldn't
4:09
necessarily say motivation we just know
4:11
that we didn't play our best ball and
4:13
there a lot of stuff we can clean up and
4:15
a lot of stuff that can easily be fixed
4:18
and it's just you know saying we just
4:19
know going to the next week
4:21
understanding that we got to perform
4:23
better anything else if not thanks keep
