Press Conference Video
On senior day:
“It was extremely emotional for me. I love each and every last one of those guys. I love just about everybody else that came through this building since I've been here that has come and gone. And you know that was just kind of thinking of all my memories here. Just being in Memorial Stadium. All the good times. The hard times. There was just a whole lot going through my head but you know more love than anything else and just feeling the love and just knowing that there was just a lot of love around me between players coaches faculty staff everybody.”
On the last drive of the first half:
“Ultimately we just want to put ourselves in better situations. I don't feel like we played horrible today. A couple of things that we would like to have back. But in life you don't get a rewind button so you know we just have to take what we got and learn from it.”
On Cam Taylor-Britt:
“We weren't expecting it and when it happened I just went over to him just let him know that we got his back no matter what. That's forever and that's always. A guy like him who put so much into the game and so passionate about the game that I'm sure that hurts him to have the game taken away from him. We just let him know keep his head up and he'll be back.”
On Minnesota’s offense:
“They just tried to bleed the Clock. They did a good job of checking with their coaches. Getting into the place that they wanted and just trying to execute them against us. At the end of the day we just got to be better as a defense and I know we will be better going forward. Like I said earlier I don't feel like we played horrible but some things just need to be cleaned up.”
On the rest of the season:
“As long as it's still football out there the guys down in that locker room the coaches upstairs we are dialing in and we are going to get after it so no matter who the opponent is we're going to attack it the same way each weekend and just work on getting better. Just being better versions of ourselves from the week before. And no matter who we have to face. Everybody down there just is ready for the next challenge ahead.”
On the last drive of the game:
“Some things we want to fix. We did have a chance to get them off the field and ultimately we didn’t. That falls in our hands. We have to take accountability for that. Got to go and watch that film and watch where we can get better and emulate those situations in practice and just go ahead make ourselves better overall.”
