gri go ahead hey Grayson before the game I was talking to a couple of freshman students and they they were saying the most the most excited they were today was to see you and I just wanted to know what it's like to kind of already be on that pedestal and how you Mo up to that expectation yeah it's a good feeling uh a lot of people talk about we have the best fans in the country and I I got to see that tonight a great atmosphere really good environment uh fun fun to playing carer friendly for sure um I don't think I showed him my best tonight a lot to improve on a lot to work on but um you know happy that that we were able to come away with one Noah go ahead hey Grayson how would you just assess you know game one at NC State you know what was it like I guess finding KC you know it seemed like he was open a lot in the first half you're able find him yeah I mean Casey's a really good player he finds a way to get open and when you get him the ball good things happen um I think we just came out really slow started slow they were doing some things defensively that we weren't exactly prepared for so had to make some adjustments at halftime I don't think I played my best ball um first time you know being out there in a while with me not playing the whole back half of the season last year so um it was good to just get out there again um and like I said don't don't think we played our best but um happy that we came away with the win Jaden go ahead Grayson I asked coach but from your perspective how do you think the inh helmet communication and the whole you know iPad stuff went for yall and how did that impact how you played down the stretch yeah I mean it's a really good thing to have especially when a defense is doing a lot of different things um you go out you go on the sideline after drives and are able to get on the iPad and see exactly what they're doing and I think the inh helmet communication was really good it went everything went smooth tonight David go ahead hey I'm curious you mentioned the the back half of the last season obviously your last game ended in a a concerning and scary fashion what was sort of your emotions going into this one did you have any nerves what did it feel like to actually get back out on their field and play another game of football yeah I think uh week one really any football game for me I have a little bit of nerves going into it it didn't have anything to do with uh my injury last year I felt confident that I was going to go out there and uh play Fast protect myself so uh really no worries from there just um you know week one um a little bit of nerves getting out there for the first time in a while didn't think I played my best ball but um happy to you know obviously be out there and play four quarters of football get the win and um you know able to to go in tomorrow and watch the tape and a lot to get better from so an opportunity for me to grow and get ready for next week and the last question for Grayson will come from Ethan hey Grayson in your opinion um what helped the offense start to put it together in the fourth quarter get those 21 unanswered points yeah we just reset at halftime really brought the guys together made some adjustments and um just came together reset you know first game came out slow maybe first game Jitters for a lot of guys uh we played a really good football team tonight they're FCS team but you know they they did some really good things defensively and offensively and uh played some good football so we just kind of had to reset at halftime make some adjustments and come out and play good football thank you thank you guys hey D obviously Kaden went out the game pretty early you know what was I for me to see a young you know guy like Jaylen Parker who hasn't played a lot of the defense you know step up in in that role um I think JP did a good job uh stepping in the way he did uh losing Kaden hurt us a little bit of course um having our number one mic go down um hurts but I think JP did a really good job of stepping in and knowing what he needed to do and playing very fast is is the way he did so I think he did a good job go ahead J Kavin um y'all obviously St on the gas in the fourth quarter you know first three were not necessarily your best work but what changed and how do you take what happened in the fourth and move forward with that as opposed to what happened in the beginning um yeah I think we just started off slow um I think you know just the first game nerves um I think that you know there are a few things that we came out uh prepared uh prepared for them to run and they didn't really uh do quite what we were prepared for but I think it was just um you know really just the first game nerves and just starting we started off slow but you know moving forward I think that we got to attack attack every quarter with the fourth quarter mentality the way we did today and Brian Murphy you'll have the last question for Davin yeah Davin is uh is there some sense of relief getting through this game obviously maybe a little tougher game than you expected but to get that first game sort of out of the way you guys obviously have a lot of a big game next week some bigger games down the road is there sort of a a sense of relief to get that one on fil and mo on from that I mean I I I I guess I would say so I mean it's nice being one and0 um they were a really good football team they came out and played physical um but yeah I think just being one and0 we're we're happy with that and uh we're just looking forward on moving forward thanks J par hey how y'all doing Jaden go Jaylen you've been with this program for a while what was it like to you know have such a big impact on a significant game today well it was just uh I'm just glad to have the opportunity to be out there with the guys uh guys like Aiden Betty uh Sean Davin guys who I came in with and um came in after me just to share a moment like this with them it it means a lot to me I appreciate them for trusting me uh be out there with them tonight as well Noah go ahead and jayl what kind of mindset do you have to have you know obviously not never going to play as many snaps as you did tonight you know with with Kaden you know having to leave the game early you know how do you kind of make the adjustment of all right you know I'm here to play play SN you did oh well in our room uh Betty's been saying it all summer no matter what happens we can't have a drop off always the nexts man mentality so um I just use that tonight and uh tried to play my best ball play Fast play physical and play inside our game plan tonight no go ahead here you got the opportunity to play and practice with P Wilson what did you learn from him last season that you're able to take into this year well get when you get your chance make sure that you're around the ball you know I want to make sure I was around the ball tonight coach D Doran says um when we make a snapshot he wants to see how many guys around the ball so I just want to make sure I was around the ball and made as many tackles as I could tonight Jaden go ahead Gavin said he thought some of the inconsistency on your side of the ball came from you know some nerves you know first time for some some guys being on the field do you agree with that or kind of what's your thoughts there yeah I definitely agree um Betty and Sean had to C me a down my coaches pulled me to the side and just told me to breathe you know just relax I was a little timid at first but that's the game PR regress I could say that my nerves and things calm down for sure all right Noah will'll have the last question for Jaylen jayen what was the the change once um Kaden went out obviously he has the the headset and his helmet so what was kind of the change with that once he was off the field um once the uh Kaden got off the field we had Sean uh we've been working with multiple guys this uh fall Camp having the headset just in case anything happened so uh I think we were prepared for U whoever was not out there to uh call it so we were prepared and we did successful with it tonight as well thanks Jaylen thank you all right everyone hello my fault questions for KC my here look a little crazy go ahead hey KC what's up with you how how much of this is carryover from last year do you feel like um I felt like last year um at the end of the season we had kind of went on a run and um and um I just I just wanted to make sure that this year there was there was no drop off and and and and I'm only trying to do better than what I did last year thank you Noah go ahead Casey what was kind of working for you in the first half it seemed like you they were able to find you a bunch and you were the the only receiver that could really you know find a rhythm in that first half um I would just say I would just say my uh my uh mindset um if if nobody else is going to do it then then it then it might as well be me so I would I would say that's what that's what helped me but um but uh just my just my teammates also talking to me um giving me confidence throughout the game me giving them confidence throughout the game so yes sir Rob go ahead yeah I have two questions sir first of all you scor three touchdowns and then at the back end of the game Jordan kind of picked it up and he scored the two how how nice was it for you to see a teammate able to seal the de close it off help get the win it was uh very nice um Jordan you know he he got off to a slow start but you know um but you know I'm I'm I'm always trying to give confidence to guys I'm always I'm always trying to pick guys heads up so um so uh throughout throughout the whole entire throughout the whole entire game I was just telling them to just play like your play like your it's gonna come I mean we done we seen Jordan do some amazing amazing things so so I felt like once those nerves got up out of his system he was ready to go what did the coaches the message that the coaches convey to you after this game to the team I should say not just you after the game and where's the growth potential for you guys ahead to next week I would say the coach's message is that we have a whole bunch of work to do I mean I mean obviously obviously we were expecting a a blowout but every single game is not GNA be a blowout we we saw things that we had to work on we we saw things that we can fix we also saw some things that were going good so going in so going into next week we can work on those things that didn't go well and we can and we can continue to work on those things that went well today all right and the last question will come from Ethan Ethan my God what's good what's up Casey you obviously had so much um success as a true freshman youall had a few true freshman wide receivers playing tonight so I was just wondering if you had any words of advice for Kanan or Jonathan or Terrell going into their first years here um I would just say stay always always stay confident I mean there's there's times in a in a game where things are not going to not going to go your way there's there's going to be times that you are going to drop the ball there's there's going to be times that you are going to miss a assignment but but me but me growth from last year I would just say like I now I have a next play mentality so so if if something if something went if something went wrong the play before I would just worry about the next play I wouldn't I wouldn't think too much about the about about the past thanks yes sir thanks for joining us Casey yes sir man thank you have a nice day you guys
