Coach knows your defense limited him to 99 yards total offense, no points. How good does that feel? It feels good. I'm happy for the, for the players. It's good to be able to go out and control the game from the start. Fans, players, everybody knows that we're out there, we're expected to perform and they did it. You know, the old saying goes, you've been around this game a long time, you make the most improvement from week one to week two and I say even more so today because you don't hit and practice like we used to and there's only one way to get in game shape. But boy, it was a big step in the right direction. You worry about your tackling and things like that because you just don't tackle anymore in practice. But, you know, our guys are hungry and they're out to prove a point. They took the right step to do that tonight. How about the guys in the secondary? And how about the guys up front getting the pressure on the quarterback? We, we're controlling the line of scrimmage, you know, we have some elite pass rushers up there coming off the edge and that makes it hard on a quarterback and we always say coverage and rush work, working together and that's how it goes, you know, you got to buy now. It's a little weird, kind of a weird schedule. You have two buys this week. Do you wish you were a kid playing or, or do you take the break? You know, we, we're not calling this folks wanna buy, we're calling it Improvement Week. You know, you say we need to keep improving. All right, coach, do me a favor. Look into that camera, your message for Buckeye Nation. Keep coming. Keep supporting. Good things are happening.
