00:00 >> How's it going guys?
00:01 >> How are you?
00:02 >> Doing well.
00:03 >> Yeah, assuming since you're here, you're gonna play in the Cotton Bowl,
00:06 is that fair to say?
00:07 >> Yeah, absolutely we'll be playing in the Cotton Bowl.
00:09 >> And what can you say about your future beyond that, you know, live state?
00:13 >> I think a lot of us are trying to navigate that right now, and
00:17 I think a lot of us are really close to making a decision and announcing it.
00:21 So I think here in the next couple weeks,
00:24 we'll see a lot of guys' decisions on what the future holds.
00:29 >> Absolutely gonna play in the Cotton Bowl, why'd you say it that way?
00:32 >> We gotta go out the right way, and it's unfortunate that we couldn't
00:37 finish the season the way we wanted to with the last game for our seniors.
00:42 And guys deserve it, so we need to really go out with a good win and
00:48 put on a good performance and send guys out the right way.
00:51 >> Haunt may not be the right term, but
00:54 does that last game haunt you a little bit, I mean, Jack, as an individual?
00:58 I mean, just falling short again against that team?
01:01 I mean, how would you explain it to somebody?
01:05 You think about it a lot, I guess.
01:07 >> Yeah, I'd be lying to you if I told you I don't think about it a lot.
01:10 When you work all year for one game and you fall short, it's tough,
01:17 especially when it's three years in a row.
01:19 So yeah, I wouldn't necessarily say haunt, just cuz we don't wanna give
01:25 them that satisfaction, but yeah, I mean, it hurts.
01:28 There's nothing you can do about it now, and it just sucks.
01:32 >> Jordan said a lot of you guys made the decision to play in this game together as
01:35 a group.
01:35 When did those discussions happen, and I guess what was the conversation like?
01:39 >> It happened immediately, once we knew where we were going.
01:42 And really, we were just all talked about finishing the season and going out,
01:47 cuz we don't know what a lot of guys are gonna do after this year.
01:49 And we wanted to, in case some guys leave or whoever leaves,
01:55 we wanna send guys out the right way and play together one last time.
01:59 Give it all we got.
02:00 And for Columbus and the state of Ohio, give all the fans and
02:04 people a reminder that we still had a good year and that this team's not done.
02:10 >> Yeah, it's, I mean, you're 11-1, you beat No Name, you beat Penn State,
02:14 you lost one possession game to the number one team in the country on the road.
02:18 That game has put them obviously going the other way.
02:20 And yet a lot of people see the season as a failure, at least not a success.
02:25 >> How hard is that?
02:26 Is that a fair judgment?
02:28 What do you guys think of that?
02:29 >> Yeah, it's unfortunate, but that's what we signed up for.
02:33 The game means everything to us and everything to the people in Ohio.
02:39 I lived it growing up in Columbus, so
02:42 I probably took it just as hard as anybody else would.
02:45 And like I said, it just sucks.
02:50 And there's nothing you can do but move on and
02:54 keep working and try to finish the season out the right way.
