I just think, uh, um, you know, it's communication at halftime that we had to finish the game. You know, we had to play for another another thirty minutes, a full full sixty and and I think the guys really embraced that and did a nice job finishing and making plays when they had to. Um about defense did a nice job just kind of holding number three there late and then and then offense going down and being able
to win the game with a couple of runs. So just just a great way to finish, say that again, Yeah, I don't know if it's on the line. I just think every game is, every game is tough, every game is uh, you know, um a great opportunity to you know, take a step forward. Um. You know, things haven't really gone our way the first half of this season, but it was great to get this victory today and and uh go into the break with with positive thoughts obviously,
and um get ready for the next one. But I didn't think it was necessarily a must win, you know situation. I haven't met with the medical team yet, so I can't. I can't speculate on that until I do probably know something probably tomorrow. Great play on the ball, um, It's
what we talk about during the week. We need we need defensive turnovers and and uh, they were able to do that one then obviously the fourth down late in the game, but a great job coming up rallying, you know, putting his putting his hat on the ball, ball comes out, Malcolm picks it up and then offense can can capitalize on that. And that's one of the things I think that's kind of been missing the first first half of the season is just quite frankly, uh, you know, turnovers
and then short fields for the offense. And uh, um, I told the team, you know, even after the game, you know, that's that's a positive. That's what you know, we can do that and we need we need more of that, you know. Second half, Um, yeah, we just felt comfortable with Josh. I mean, the other two guys played a lot of special teams and just keeping everybody fresh and rotated. I thought Wendell did a nice job as well. Corey came in there and and uh, and
he runs extremely hard. But but you know, Josh had the hot hand today and just kind of kept him going, got another one, keep going. No, he's just kind of where the ball went. Jordan made some great plays on the ball, some third down to catches. Um. You know, he's really strong to the football right now, he's been able to elevate and uh, he's he's really kind of fitting in, you know to what we're what we're asking him to do. And uh, he had a really good
game today. Yeah, you eliminate those two turnovers. Thought he played extremely well, you know, led the team played, Uh, played well, played tough, made some tough scrambles for some first downs, I mean, being hung in there, you know. And and um just made a couple of great throws on those touch ounced to the tight ends and then and obviously the screen passed the WINDWLL. But yeah, I thought he played played played aggressive, he played hard, played tough,
and and really really kept us in the game. He's really he's really settled in to that role. Um. It seems like he's just gotten gotten better each week. Um, you know, even having like Malcolm and Corey Graham and even Rodney you know McLeod out there helping him, you know, during the week and talking to him, and of course you know a coach on Lynn and Tim and those
guys preparing him. He's done done a nice job he's really um kind of understood his role, understands his role, I guess, and and just uh fits within the system and has been been improving every week. Just told him, you know, uh, congratulations, you know, on on on a hard fought win. Nothing's ever nothing's ever given to you. You know, you have to go earn everything, take you got to take games. I mean, it's just against a
great opponent. And so I just my hat was off to our players and coaches for you know, being able to come over here and and and um you with the travel and being able to handle that and be disciplined with that and h was really really a positive for the team and and just sort of embraced the moment being around the guys, and so I just told him it was just a great, great experience overall and and a great way to uh to finish the first half of the season. It was a great crowd, great
crowd eighty five plus. I think it was um a lot of Eagles fans and and uh you know we we uh we expect that each week, quite honestly, and uh, you know, our our fans travel well. The the UK fans were in full force and it was felt like a home game. Force. Yeah, one more. Well, you saw what happened right away. They took a shot, you know, and went after him, and he's so he's so long, got great speed, and I thought he thought he played well. You know, we'll evaluate the film on the plane going
home and get a chance to watch it. But I thought, uh, you know, I thought, Razil really stepped in and and we'll see, you know, Jalen's injury down down the next couple of days. But Um filled it nicely. Okay, thanks,
