Well, they were intense moments,
and when J-Lane got banged up there in the first half,
it sort of sent us into musical chairs with guys getting in.
Obviously, we got plays for J-Lane
that somebody else has to step in and take,
and that's what, in my opinion, was the fun part of today
and something that was really cool to see
is guys like Troy and Pat and Marvin
step up and make plays when their number were called.
Even though they didn't have reps at it all week and they studied
and they knew what they were supposed to do.
And to me, that's...
Fun football is when you're in there
and you know your back's against the wall and
you have to just figure out a way to go get a first down.
And one of them specifically,
I remember just getting the ball to Cortland again in the
single high zone with the out route
and he just goes up and makes another play on it.
And so that was just a really good third
and long call for us and we were confident in
it and things like that just progressed
throughout the day where we hit them.
Yeah, I completely agree with him.
We're in a really good spot, obviously, where you want to be.
You want to be first in your division.
You want to be winning football games.
And we've played a really tough part of our schedule.
And so at 7-2, we feel really confident.
But at the same time,
there's a lot of things that we can get better at.
And we've said this every week.
And weeks we've, you know, some weeks
we've gotten better at other things.
Some things we've still got to clean up.
But overall, we're finding explosive plays,
doing better on third down today.
You know, stayed out of the third
and long situations like we've been wanting to do.
And at the end of the day, we scored enough, you know, to win the game.
And that's what's important going into the bye.
