UC QB JC French Utah Postgame

J.C., when you are going through a half like that, how do you keep your head up, keep that positive momentum to try to keep pushing and try to get back into the game? Yeah, one thing for me is just try to uplift everybody else. I think when you do that, it helps yourself get out of that funk a little bit. I think our guys do a great job, especially the O-line, coming around and talking to everybody on the sideline just to keep our heads up and keep going. What did it mean to move the ball? I mean, the game is kind of decided, but second half, you do move the ball. You do get some points if you make a defensive stop. They're There was some competitiveness there. Yeah, I thought we moved the ball pretty well tonight overall. Obviously, we hurt ourselves a lot. I missed a few, definitely missed a few things that I wish I had back. And I thought overall, There's a lot of things we had back, but there is positives that come out of this. You gotta shine light on that and not dwell on it too much. Obviously, it's disappointing to lose, but credit to them. They're really good football team and we just gotta find ways to keep going and bounce back next week. Were there some tense moments on the sideline in that first half and just keep on dropping down more and more? Not really, honestly. It's nice on the offense side, because I see it firsthand. We're all pretty level-headed, which is nice, and I think the coaches do a great job of keeping us in it down there on the sideline and keep talking to us, what we're seeing, and we all just communicate really well down on the sideline, so there's not really any dull moments. Rare, turnover-worthy mistake for you on that interception. Was it just kind of really bang-bang and the corner had a really great jump on the route, too quick for you to make an adjustment? Yeah, I thought, you know, the corner baited me. You know, credit to him, great play. You know, he took steps back. I was just covering, too, and he just crashed on it. So it was a really good play by him. Would have, should have, could have, but if your bond doesn't fumble, minus the interception, do you think you guys can make it a game? Absolutely. You know, we come in at every game expecting a win, and it's frustrating when we don't. We're obviously all really frustrated right now with how we played. But, you know, I think we can compete with anybody in this conference and country. So, you know, that's just something we've got to hold ourselves to, keep moving forward, and, you know, bounce back next week. Even as frustrating as things were, do you kind of laugh to yourself when you watch Cole take another one to the house? Yeah, I mean, it doesn't shock me at all. It's like, there he is. You know, it just happens every game. Amen. Amen. He's a stud. He continues to make plays. He's just going to keep doing that his whole career. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Jason.
