00:00What was the satisfying aspect of this victory?
00:03Probably just that, just what the team did, the contributions from different guys.
00:08We had examples of different guys coming in and playing more than they have all year.
00:12We had guys like Jaday battling out even playing a few reps.
00:15I mean, it was unbelievable.
00:17I mean, I thought there was zero chance he was going to play any snaps.
00:20And for him to play, I mean, what a war daddy.
00:23The way these two guys played led us, just everything.
00:27I mean, wins like this, man, take the whole program.
00:31They take everybody, every staff member.
00:35Everybody sees the players on the field and some of the coaches.
00:38But man, there's so many people behind the scenes that contributed to this.
00:40Coach, what did you see on the field on the side?
00:45Yeah, we felt like there was some air there, and there was.
00:48I mean, give their guy credit.
00:50He made a, I mean, he doesn't make the play.
00:52We got about three guys there right there on the ball.
00:54He made a really nice play, kind of got a perfect top at the right time.
00:57But no guts, no glory.
01:01How big was it that Penn State had to use those timeouts like that?
01:04And how did that shift the game?
01:05It was huge.
01:06It's something that we emphasize in our program.
01:08And being able to keep those or hopefully forcing teams to use theirs.
01:13You know, we had a couple things that we did that forced that.
01:16And obviously, it really changed, you know, how we played the last drive.
01:26It didn't ask any of these dudes.
01:29I got a lot of problems, but being competitive ain't one of them.
01:32Oh, guys.
01:32I got a lot.
01:33I got a lot of problems, though.
01:33You know, when I was with my head, I got to go.
01:36You know?
01:36You're going to go.
