Michigan State QB Aidan Chiles takes responsibilty for offensive struggles in opener

congratulations on your first win as a Michigan State Spartan uh talk about the first play of the game it probably didn't go as expected but what went through your mind mentally to get you back to get the outcome that you had now I flushed it I mean it's it happens you know plays like that happen it don't matter if it's your fun or not it is what it is it's football stuff's going to happen Aiden um the offense really struggled to get things generated and moving tonight um what do you think was the the byproduct what was the the maybe a root cause of that I didn't understand the question you often struggled to get the ball moving and finish off drives what do you think was there a singular problem did you feel like the reason sorry the reason yeah me like it's me I'm taking full responsibility for everything to happen today um you know you always want to come out and play play football and do what you got to do and um I feel like I try to do that didn't do what I I'm used to doing I play football for a living and uh didn't come out and perform to my best today and that's it is what it is I take full responsibility for everything Aiden is there anything you said you you didn't play like you could is there anything you can attribute that too just you know we didn't score what' you say we didn't score we scored twice and it was one half we didn't score at all in the second half and just was there anything they were doing in the second half or do you think like self-inflicted type of Errors self-inflicted it was my fault I'll take full responsibility like I said it before I'm sorry if I sound rude or like attitud is I truly apologize I I'm a little angry at myself Aiden uh so you're taking accountability knowing what you know now about this game what do you think you could have done differently like if you if you had a chance to do it all over again go there and score finish I mean I know I knew what I was supposed to do didn't do it it is what it is like I'm missing slides that I've thrown 100,000 times like I'm missing stuff that I've thrown forever I'm missing checks that I've seen every every day every day and I go against one of the best defenses in the country that's how I feel and uh I didn't I didn't do what I was supposed to do today now that you have like one game under your belt and you've taken you know you've said that you've done a lot of these things and it just didn't happen tonight what can you kind of take away from this and maybe uh channel in on for next week just improve I mean go do everything with intent go into practice with a chip on your shoulder and go Inn it next week I mean I mean you can't do anything you can't ask for anything more I mean we got the win yes I'm not happy with it but we got the win I'm happy with the win not happy with how I perform and it's my it's a little selfish I understand but um overall like you're going to have those games where you just feel like oh I could have done more I could have done more and this is one of those games and um yeah Aiden the throw to monori near the goal line that was picked what did you see in when did you know that uh oh our read is if he goes over if the DB that's Guardian monor goes over it I can take that ball um I think he just beat us to the spot I messed it up I should have just looked it off came back to my read and I just didn't I didn't do what I was supposed to do today yeah I know you're not happy with today's performance but can you just talk about kind of Spartan Stadium and the Spartan faithful and your expectations versus how it actually felt out there yeah I mean um it's great I mean I don't know how the crowd is going to act next week in few weeks but you know today they came out with energy and love and support and I um I don't know it was they not disappoint and I really truly appreciate them for coming out today and supporting us and yeah hope some of my teachers out here cuz I have some homework that I got to do Aiden right here just could you sort of put into some words like how different this experience was compared to your game experience a year ago where you go in for a series and good or bad whatever happens that series you're kind of done you know now everything has a consequence and you're going back out there you're playing for four quarters you just how different is that experience in this role for you I mean I you just explained the difference I mean I'm just going back out out there I mean realistically whatever happens I got to go back out there um I don't think there really is like a huge difference between what I did last year and this year I still played last year and then I mean this year now I'm just playing a little bit more that's how I see it and what was your assessment of the Run game today and the whole operation how that all worked those running backs they worked so hard man I'm so proud of them they did everything for me today and I really I truly appreciate them they blocked their ass off sorry I apologize they blocked they um they they toted it I mean that's a that's a beautiful back like backfield to have and I truly appreciate them uh going off that Aiden what can you say about K Ronin specifically his uh performance tonight you saw it I mean that was that was his touchdown they gave it to me but that was his touchdown you know I mean he he's a dog Nate Carter too I mean you're not going count out Nate I mean we didn't get all the runs we wanted but them dudes they tote that thing like you not going you you can't just push them over like they play football that's what they do and that's they specialy I mean they come out here every day they work they talk like they leaders they come out here and they and they showed it today like they came out here and ran the ball they had more rushing yards we had passing yards and I'm so proud of that like I'm truly I truly appreciate them for that I mean I of course I want more passing yards but hey when your team's on your back feels on your back feels on I can't complain we have time for two more sorry Chris coach talk in the lead up to this wanting to see of how you guys would respond to adversity um I don't think there's any question that there was a lot of adversity tonight when you get back and watch the film on this what are some of the things that you think maybe you'll take away from the response of the guys um I mean we're going to go watch film and we're probably all going to hate it we're we're probably going to go in there with you know disgust like we we don't want to go in there and watch that we didn't do what we supposed to do we didn't do what we know we can do and um but um you know it's a new week get another other opportunity we won a game go us now we get to come back and do it again now that's all I can say last one uh Aiden right here in the middle uh first game with the helmet communication in your head how did that go were there any hiccups throughout the game no it was cool I mean I can't complain it's it took a ah sorry took a second to like um really be able to repeat the plays over like time but now it's I can't complain at all like it's really easy just him talking to me directly you know all right thanks thank you
