Coach, Liam Howard, Buffs on SI.
The team was sluggish coming out of the bye week last season,
and that was off of a win over a ranked opponent.
How do you plan to handle the bye week off of this loss?
We're going to practice.
We're going to work.
That's what we do.
We work.
And we're prepared to play today.
We're ready.
It's not like we're not prepared.
Defense did some phenomenal things today.
First drive, offense did some phenomenal things today.
I think the kickoff teams, the punt teams,
did some phenomenal things today.
We didn't do phenomenal in punt return
in certain aspects of our special teams
and team, but they work, man.
It's not for lack of effort or work.
It's not for that.
Hey, Coach.
Brian Howe from buffblitz.com.
Obviously, you benched Juju from first to third string, it looks like.
And Isaac didn't play well.
No, no, no.
I would love Juju to come in and he tell you what happens.
So don't you bench Juju first to third string?
No, that's not how it went down.
Well, that's what it looked like, so I'm just asking.
It didn't happen like that.
Okay.
So you benched Juju, and then Isaac doesn't play well.
As you're going to this bye week,
is it an open competition at quarterback?
It's always open competition.
Every darn day is open competition.
That's the position that is somewhat disabling us and disarming us.
Every day is like that.
Do you feel like you have a good option there?
We have three options there.
Somebody just got to step up and take a hold of it and get it done.
