Yeah, can we just go to the process of getting the guys back together and
composed after what happened to Dante?
How did you-
Yeah, it's hard, right, in that moment.
And I think what you ask yourself is, what's the best thing I can do?
And what's the best way to honor Dante in that moment?
I just called the guys up, and first thing we did, we had a prayer, right?
And we prayed for his health, prayed for some composure for ourselves, right?
And wanted to make sure that we get to play the game in between the whistles the
rest of the game.
It was chippy at times.
I thought our guys had unbelievable composure throughout the night,
even going up the tunnel here at the very end.
They had great composure, so proud of their performance from that standpoint.
You know, credit to Lincoln, he asked about Dante after the game.
I don't think that's anything he coached, but
there's a reason targeting exists in football.
And that's as clear as day, targeting.
It's a shame that that happened to a good player when, in my mind,
that certainly could have been avoided.
You know, so it's disappointing that that would happen.
But I thought our players did a great job of resetting.
And on that note, they still played, right, with great violence and
energy to make sure that they could take advantage of what happened to their teammate.
