Probably joining US now head coach Doug Peterson and obviously coming out of the buy. You guys were rested a lot, a lot of energy this week, but obviously a small start on offense. Perfectly what happened. It's the one thing you guard against, um, and it's something that's uh, you know when when when you do have two weeks like that. Now, sometimes sometimes that happens, and it's something that we talk about during the week. You've actually had a really good
spirit of practices that find around. Um. You know, it really felt comfortable coming into this game, and then and then things start kind of unraveling a little bit and you don't finish drives and you know, we make too many mistakes. We you know, wen't tackle well and things like that, and it's just I just would come pounds throughout the game. Um, there's just too many mistakes, you know, contrusting. How do you handle the ebbs and flows of the
game like that? And what do you tell you guys from if you stow it out the games then you're at a deficit, but you have to continue to fight you back. Well, we we hung in there. I mean we're only down three that we're down six, and you know, I thought maybe when we got that field goal right there at sixty three, and then you know, we let up a couple of big players and though they're there at the end of this thirteen three a half time, you know, it's just we kind of got a little momentum.
We shut ourselves from what I probably say that at all these time. But but at the same time, third down and fourth downs tails tell these football games, and that is it that we need to pride ourselves in. And um, they were better at it than we were. What is it about third downs? Because you were one of a better team to the third downs last season
tonight not very good at third day. Yeah, third downs just it becomes it's that situational aspect of the game that that that we spent a lot of time focusing on and making sure every thing that we got the red players and reputations. You know, it's it's it's a total you know focus third to make it work. And it's obviously different than persons like the defense is are more aggressive. There's a usually blitch or pressure and cover those year. Yeah, play the more maio whatever it is.
So it has stuff. It has to be a sense of urgency for for us as an offense and even for a defense to either stay on the field or off the feeling defense. So your guys pride themselves and stopping their roun on defensive for a Zekiel blowing the ars fifty yards cans very rare. You guys get punch to them out and punched in the mouse, so to speak. And I feel after a while you just can't stop them. I mean, after a while, it feels it feels right a way, you know, because it's a big, powerful guy
and uh oh yes, yes, somefice one to snipe. But you know that's the thing that you know each guy on defense in the same way when you put the ball on offense defense, it's strange, it's it's cool. You do whatever you can to try to get around that. Um we fail to do that tonight and make you man after contact little firs that open up. Yeah, this is obviously tough situations, your four and five. We have a lot of tough road games out in the world's
in LA. I'm with a number rope, But how do you gather this team back together to still make them believe that they can still retain their goal? And when you will to tell you this. There they're they're first of all, we've got um and we've got four to the game for many Um, it's a very prideful move and and and I trust those gals and these coaches for Locker Road to get the job done. And we can't worry about you know, one seed, two, three, three,
You can't worry about that right now. You have to focus in on one game at a time and uh, make sure that we can do in the business. Yeah, we got some some something really solid team ball, I think too. An am we at the NFCS and uh, we're right there and thinking about even the four or five. So we handle our business down the stretch, UM and see what happens. Appreciate your time. Thanks,
