In the huddle, sidelines, it's been six games
that you've been working with him.
Just what can you say about what you've kind of noticed
and as you've gained his personality more during games?
It's the same as practice, to be honest.
So it's not like he acts any different during the game.
I mean, he gets us going.

So he's been consistent through practice and in the game.
All right, next up, we'll go to Alex.
Hey, Matt.
So Pittsburgh now has the number one rushing defense
in the country statistically.
You guys love to run the football.

that running game going against this D this week.
Yeah, Pitt has a great defense.
And, you know, we're working every day to, you know, change that.

Just what does he do that you see –
or what do you see him do just day in,

um how early he gets here um he's one of the first guys
in the building a lot one of the last guys in
the building and that's that's huge
and um i think that really like carries his success and
and he's still getting better even
though you know people think he's the best in the country

he he shows up early like super early leaves he's
the last one to leave i think that's what's uh keeping
his success you know all right next up
we'll go to Tim thanks man i i understand want
to know i get it i respect it the but every team in
the country has some version of that saying
of that belief what is it about this group that
makes it actually matter like why are you guys
so committed to it and and and not just that but
really seem to understand you know why Mario
and coach Mirabal have been preaching this for a
