Oregon Ducks discuss the resilience the team has

You know, those are things that you talk about as a staff and as a team, and like that's a punt we've been working really since fall camp. Right. And we've had a long history of running fake punts. We just haven't seen a lot of teams that have given us an opportunity where we could potentially hit that. And the fake punts that we've run in the past were runs there to the left. Right. We did it with Casey Rogers. We've done it with Jordan Birch. Right. We've done it with, you know, Mateo Taylor. Like those have shown up for us. So we felt like that would be something people would play aggressive to. Obviously, if it didn't work, you guys could have a heyday with me, especially in our own territory, but that's where fakes do work. We felt like we'd punted a couple times at that point. We'd seen a look and we felt confident, hey, it's going to be there. I don't know how many times we ran that in practice. So when you talk about your players consistently in team meetings and special teams and then you get an opportunity to go execute on the field and it has the success that it has, I think everybody's like, okay, we got this, let's go. It certainly created some momentum. You know, and gave us a chance to kind of settle in and, you know, even out the score a little bit there earlier and then get into a rhythm. You know, we're like cockroaches, man. We won't die, right? And, yeah, I mean, our guys, they've been battle tested. So they don't, like, again, in those moments they don't blink, right? And we don't really look at the scoreboard. We just focus on working. And I thought they did that tonight.
