00:00Well, you got to try to stop him, Dan.

00:02I mean, that's the name of the game on defense.

00:04So, yeah, I mean, they have great players and are really well coached.

00:08Coach Elliott does a good job schematically with what he has.

00:12It's more than just the players.

00:13I think he's a really good coach.

00:15They have the ability to run the football, run the quarterback,

00:19throw the ball down the field, their RPO game, their screen game.

00:22So they have it all, and they're actually, they're really good at everything.

00:25The O-line is solid.

00:27Obviously, the quarterback, I think, Dan,

00:29the biggest thing I've seen from the quarterback is I think he's greatly and

00:33even improved from last year.

00:35The way he plays in the pocket, I think it's better.

00:38He sits there, he reads things, he goes back late and sees things late,

00:42makes throws.

00:43He's got such a live body, and he's a twitched up big guy who can run and

00:48throw, and I just, he's a really good player.

00:53And I have a lot of respect for him, and definitely coming back and improving.

00:58Says a lot about him.

01:01The back is obviously, I mentioned this to you, I think that running back is

01:05the most underrated football player in college football.

01:10The way he runs, he just, he looks like he's on a mission constantly, and

01:14I saw it firsthand last year and watching him on tape.

01:17So between the coaching staff, the weapons they have, the wide outs,

01:20it's a dynamic offense, but we're gonna do our best to stop it, we're gonna line up.

01:26I think Coach Tim's put together a great plan with our defensive staff, and

01:31we're gonna continue to work on doing the best we can down there.

01:34I'm excited for the challenge.
