00:00 We have a lot of guys that can do a lot of great things.
00:01 I think Cortland, he's been clutching a huge down the field catch early in the game.
00:07 He did a good job of winning a couple times early and
00:10 then late too as well as the game went on.
00:12 He's a consummate pro.
00:16 I mean, you're talking about a professional, a guy that comes in every day,
00:19 smile on his face, confident, a guy that leads.
00:22 That's why he's one of our captains.
00:23 I think a guy that's, no matter what the circumstances are,
00:25 he's always gonna believe.
00:27 He's one of my favorite teammates because I played with because he goes up and
00:30 down the sideline just bringing energy, talking to guys and
00:33 letting them know that what we're gonna do.
00:34 And he's like that every day.
00:37 And so he's a great leader.
00:40 He's a great competitor.
00:41 He made some clutch plays and that was exciting.
00:45 >> Russ, sticking with Cortland, could you take us through that 18 yard touchdown
00:49 catch I believe it was in the third quarter, I believe?
00:51 >> Yeah, that was a great call by coach.
00:53 I mean, we wanted to get isolated.
00:56 Cortland did a good job of getting open there.
00:58 I think the receivers did a great job too of helping them.
01:00 And I think the big thing is that the guys up front gave me enough time to drop back
01:05 and read it all out and go through my reads and then hit Cortland for
01:08 a huge touchdown, which is another big moment.
01:11 I think also too, what the line did and all the receivers and
01:15 running backs, right before the half, I think we had 41 seconds to go.
01:19 I think we had one timeout, we go all the way down the field and
01:24 we get a huge field goal, but the guys did a really good job of being on their stuff
01:27 and making sure we were executing play after play, play after play.
01:30 And that was a huge moment for us too.
01:33 So I think those two drives were really big for us.
