 Hello, and welcome to the Ed Hodl Show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce, showing here with Stevens and hand football coach, Ed Hodl. And coach, you welcomed Widener on Saturday. Fell behind early, fell down 17, nothing the first half. Eventually tried to come back, got down to 2014 and were driving for a game tie and game winning score. And just fell, ultimately, 2014. Kind of just take us through the whole game, fall behind, and then try to come back. Well, I think we missed some opportunities, particularly the fourth down at the scoreboard end. We had an opportunity to score a touchdown and get back in the game at that point. We opted to go for it and set a kick. Not kicking there really kind of changed the complexion of the game, where if we kick there, we kick on the fourth and one. At the 16, we're kicking a field goal to win the game 23 to 20. So we kind of fell behind some opportunities. We weren't able to make plays. We needed to make plays. And ultimately, it cost us a football game. Yeah, and ultimately, like you said, obviously, as a football coach, you're always going to get second-guess on those types of calls. But like you said, the thought process, after we interviewed you post-game, was that, hey, we weren't moving the ball at that point. And we wanted to be able to catch you in the touchdown. Absolutely, it's about scoring touchdowns. And we felt like we had a big play to play before to get us down to the two-yard line. And we felt like we had a little bit of momentum. The decision that I made to go for it there, I think, ultimately bears itself out as not the correct decision, but given how we had played and where we were on the field and having the struggles that we'd had, moving the football and getting it into the red zone, we felt like a little bit of boost there and trying to make a big play to get us right back in it instead of kind of being patient as we went throughout the game. And that was my thought process. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. That being said, you didn't make a couple big plays defensively, where they almost took control of the game and almost put it out of reach, started second half, you fumble the opening kickoff, they recover, hold them to three when they started, I think, at like the 12, and then they were driving for another touchdown. DJ Broxton came up with the interception. So you did a good job of staying in the game, at least on the defensive side of the ball. Absolutely, it took us a little bit to figure out the scheme and what they were trying to do. And once we got that figured out, the kids were able to execute the adjustments. And really held them in check for the better part of the second half. And I think it shows a lot of resilience in our team. It shows some signs of maturity, being able to take adjustments and apply them to actual game play. So that's definitely a positive sign for our football team. Yeah, obviously, two games left. Obviously, hopefully play that 11th game somewhere, whether it's Maxon's having a ball or he's CAC ball. Obviously, you need to win both. What's the mindset going in the last couple of games? I think I alluded to it on Saturday. We've got to play for one another first. And going out and preparing to win is kind of been the emphasis this week, having a great week of practice, having guys play together and play hard. We've got a great group of seniors that we'd like to send out on a high note. So for us, it's about coming together and continuing to grow as a football team. Yeah, this week you travel up to Wilkes. I don't think they're going to surprise you. Certainly, they're sending 0 and 8, but certainly not going to surprise you. Obviously, they beat you here last year. And then this past weekend, they almost be all right. So talk about going into that game and just what's the mindset going into that game? Well, that's the thing is you can't underestimate anybody. What happened last week or in the previous seven games for them really doesn't have a whole lot of bearing on what happens on Saturday. We've got to go out and execute our game plan and really work to play at a high level in a place where we haven't played particularly well up there for whatever reason over the course of the last seven years. We've had some struggles up there. So we've got to be really locked in and go in there with the business trip mentality and play to our capabilities. And I think if we're able to do that and take care of the football, I think we have a great shot to be successful Saturday. All right, well, coach, thank you. Best of luck on Saturday for Ed Hoddle.
