00:00 >> I have.
00:00 >> From a focus standpoint.
00:01 >> Yeah, I have.
00:02 You know how we come out to practice, how we approach practice.
00:05 It's hot out there.
00:07 Sometimes you're human, you get in that mindset.
00:09 Sometimes you don't wanna practice, you're just trying to get through it.
00:12 But we gotta attack practice with that intensity,
00:14 the same intensity that we wanna attack in the game.
00:17 Having that same type of urgency and focus so
00:19 we can get things accomplished so we can go out there and be successful on Saturday.
00:23 >> You said the first game, kind of agreeing with Coach K,
00:25 the CBO, what you thought you were, if you could just sort of elaborate on,
00:30 where do you think maybe that disconnect was from?
00:32 >> I feel like we're in a team that we thought we were.
00:36 We went out there and we didn't finish, and that starts with me.
00:38 We would have came out flat.
00:40 We would have went out there and we would have had more juice to go out there and
00:45 compete.
00:47 But I know what those guys are about.
00:49 This is, like I said, was eye opening for us.
00:53 That we can't go out there and just kind of just get through it and
00:58 make mistakes and get away with stuff against a good opponent like that.
01:01 So they capitalize on our mistakes.
01:07 We just can't function like that if we wanna accomplish our goals.
01:10 >> Talk about those goals.
01:13 I mean, obviously, everything's still in front of you.
01:15 Talked about over there, being the same team or
01:17 having a response like you did last year.
01:19 But how much of that is really, this is a new team, new guys.
01:22 How much can you really rely on what happened last year?
01:25 >> I mean, you can't rely on it at all.
01:28 It's a new team with everybody.
01:30 We had some transfer guys, older guys last year.
01:32 We got younger guys this year.
01:34 I really experienced college football for the first time, so
01:37 they never went through anything like that.
01:38 Some of the guys this year, that was their first college game, so
01:44 they didn't really get to experience those type of stuff.
01:45 But we have older guys in the locker room that dealt with adversity,
01:50 dealt with stuff like that.
01:51 So it's just really just leaning on the captains, us to make sure that we're
01:55 holding the standard and we're showing everybody what we need to do and
01:58 how we're supposed to practice, how we're supposed to approach each and every day.
