 the school more touchdowns after looking at the film. What are you seeing and how close is this offense to making the plays to sustain drives and score? Yeah, we are close. And I think this past Sunday just was a result of us hurting ourselves. If we can just kind of string together these positive plays and not allow a negative play or a penalty to disrupt that, I think we'll have a chance to do what we want. How do you use it to make some of those fixes and get on track? You know, it's conversations and being able to communicate and understanding the rules and things that Raebel kind of talks throughout the week of what these refs and what these umpires are looking for. So alongside of that, it's just the negative plays, the sacks, negative runs. Those are execution problems, and those are things that are fixed out on the practice field. What are you seeing from them on defense? You know, again, they've got guy, I feel like I say this every single week, but they've got kind of great players all across the board. You talk about Harris and Vaughn. Those guys have been all pro type players for quite some time now. So for us, again, it's a challenge. It's an opportunity, and we just got to go make the most of it. Do you feel like the weights helped to key the durability to this point? I would say it helped. And I think being able to play and function at that weight, it feels good. And it's on me to continue to eat more calories and do all those other extra stuff so that the weight stays where it's at. Mark, in the first half, how scary was that? Watching that again, how close was that to possibly being something serious? Yeah, I was lucky. And sometimes just those things happen. I think he was just playing as hard as he could. He wanted to get to the quarterback. I don't fault him. I don't think it was anything personal. So it's kind of the nature of the beast and the nature of the game that we play. But I was definitely lucky for sure. Coming off of a frustrating game on Sunday, how important is to kind of keep things positive and keep things optimistic? How do you do that during the course of the practice week? Well, I think just being grateful. I think every opportunity that you have to walk in this building, it's a privilege. And no matter what, wins, losses, you just got to keep your head up high and move on. I think our guys do a great job of flushing and getting ready for the next game. And I don't feel like there's any sort of negativity. And guys just got to continue to work. Do you go out of your way to encourage guys? I can't imagine being a pep talk guy every day. But how do you handle the course of the practice week as far as keeping guys up and doing it yourself? Well, I think it starts with you, with me. I think if you come in here with your head down, feeling sorry for yourself, that kind of sets the mood of the day for everybody around you. So just being able to, again, be grateful. Come out here, have some fun in the field. Just move on. What would you say is the biggest requirement to be able to stay calm in that pocket while so much is going on and is so muddy? I think it's my job, man. I really believe that you have to take some of these hits just to give our guys chances and make plays. And the past Russianist league, the guys that we face week in and week out, they're incredible athletes. So I understand that's kind of something that I have to deal with week in and week out and something that's not concerning to me. Rable and several of the guys in the law group have said that one of the key problems with the offense is not translating what happens out there and in the meeting rooms into the field. What do you think is happening that's not allowing that execution to happen? I really, some of it, I think, is just trusting what we do in practice. Trusting the looks, trusting that everything that we've done through the preparation is going to happen, and we just got to go out there and do it. So it is tough because when things are moving a million miles a second, it's tough to just kind of trust that what you're doing is the right thing to do. But that's just things that we have to continue to carry over in practice and just reiterate to our guys that what you're seeing is what you're going to get. Fixable problem? I would say so, yeah. You didn't have a lot of deep throws downfield against Buffalo. Was that primarily game plan or were there other factors that went into that as well? Well, I think you got to give credit to them, too. They did a good job of staying on top of things. And I think their guys on the back end did a good job of just not allowing anything over the head. So aside from the first play when we hit Delaney, I was called back. We didn't have a chance and opportunity to go make some of those plays. How much does play action help your game specifically? Well, it helps when you got 2-2 back there, for sure. You get favorable boxes. You get opportunities to create some sort of deception. And our guys, I think, do a great job of kind of feeling the zones or they understand that it's man. They know that they can take their time and work their route a little bit. So it's a combination of a lot of different things. But when you run the ball the way that we do, it creates some favorable matchups. You met Cody, and I guess you're hoping he just kicks extra points on. Is that kind of a message to him as he comes in? Yeah, I mean, it should never come down to something like that. And obviously, we got to do a better job of scoring touchdowns. But whoever it may be, he's going to be able to, or he's going to have an opportunity to do his job. And I'm sure he's going to do the best of his abilities. Mark, as you guys have kind of been in a pattern for a year or so of winning a game, it looked really good. And then the next week it's not quite so good. Is there any sort of culture problem that you see with that? What do you think the issue is? No, I don't think there's a culture problem. Obviously, consistency is something that we've preached all-off season, things that we want to get better at. But no, I don't think there's anything culturally that's wrong with this team. Marcus, do you know if you've gotten a check from the NCAA as it pertains to the lawsuit settlement from the cost of attendance? I have. Does that mean anything to you just to be getting that after the fact? Yeah, for sure. I think it's definitely nice. And at the same time, I don't know really much more than to talk on the topic. But I appreciate the fact that they took their time to donate some of that stuff to us who played before. Thank you, guys. Have a good one.
