Noah how do you put in the words what teamac did today I think if uh people were listening to my interviews all offseason they probably thought I was being over dramatic but um I think he came and proved my point perfectly's the best player in the country and uh his statistics show that how does this game rank among games that you guys have been part of every win is a great win and uh New Mexico played fantastic a lot of credit to coach Manden Hall as well as uh the defense and even Devon the quarterback so they played a really good game um and I mean like like Coach B said in the in the locker room any win is a is a blessing and we're extremely to get uh blessed to get out of it Victorious but in terms of Team Match individual performance how does this one rank uh I mean you're putting him on the spot but I think this might be his best 300 yards and four touchdowns I don't think he's ever had that stat line before it's a big time win for the team and we're extremely excited about it obviously we know um we're not content there's a lot of things we got to fix um on both sides of the ball offensively too many too many mental errors on my part so uh got to be better in that phase but we'll learn from it we'll get better um but we're ex excited to get coach Brandon his first win uh online all credit just online and uh without them we wouldn't be here and jakori like me and jakori just like brothers so like every time he eat I'm happier time I eat he's happy so it's just a love going all around question for both of you um you guys did not run the ball very much or very well in the first half and the second half was a totally different story um what he what was what were the discussions uh at halftime what did you guys change to to make that happen in the second half um um just being more physical at the end of the day we feel like we wasn't being physical enough and we would have time talking about we have to run the ball efficiently and we came out and did that and as well when when Rhino went out and you brought in matth lot true freshman coming in how do you feel he he played in the time that he was out there he play really good and uh I mean obviously we'll go back and watch the film but I didn't get touched um once he was in so so the big thing was him coming in just giving him confidence making sure he knew that we trusted him and making sure that he uh just had fun so um he had a great Camp he's done a great job ever since he's been here worked extremely hard through all the summer conditioning at fall Camp so um it's nice to see hard workers get rewarded back Michael um obviously team had an amazing game you also threw the ball to qual a few times how important is going to be to develop a second or third receiving option over the course of the Season we have the we have many options at the receiver position as well as the tight end position so um I take full responsibility for that not spreading the ball around enough obviously teamac was hot so being able to just continue to feed him was um enough to get the victory but moving on I'm going to have to do a much better job building chemistry and um making sure receivers know I trust them and uh making sure they trust me so I take full responsibility for that one Jason you call him a big red and he just energetic he just come out with juice and every time he come in we like the whole offense just get pumped because he put in the work during practice in the weight room and he's a freshman state champion in wrestling so just him his presence like helps the offense uh what do you guys think you learned about yourselves after uh we learned that we can go through adversity we learned um um that when tough times come we can lean on each other and at the end of the day we learned that we we're still have the ability to win but like I've said many times it's a lot a lot um that we got to fix in football as well as the the character part so um yall will see a much more disciplin and a much better team throughout the rest of the season SL start first yeah our defense is fantastic and um yall can people can say what they want about them but you know that they're um they're Fighters they're always going to get back and that's because of the the leader on that on that team which is coach Aina and Jacob Manu so um no no worries about that um we know that when we struggle they're going to pick us up as well so that's why they say football is the best team sport and uh I'm extremely excited to see our defense I mean defense did defense was bullying us a couple times during Camp so excited to see them um continue to to develop and get better we talk about during in helmet communication how was it in the game it was good today um no no real issue so um excited about that Jason Noah are you surprised when team single cover te at this point yeah I'm extreme uh very surprised but um also very happy every time they single him it's it's a it's a good day it's a good play in my eyes uh he got more than half his yards after the catch tonight how have you seen him that yeah we we was laughing about that on the sideline because uh I mean I think I think that was one of the the things I said um in one of our interviews and uh I think it's kind of rang true but he's been saying that he's more explosive as a joke but it showed it rang true tonight um the speed and the the athleticism and even he looks more comfortable after the after the catch so uh like I said when you give him those tools and um continue to give him more kind of confidence it's it's going to be extremely fun to watch him was there anything that New Mexico did that may surprised you guys today that um not really uh during practice we uh knew they going blitz so we just started sending everybody anywhere just to get use of like the way they blitz so we just really game game prep um couple times maybe three or four times you guys used that form six offensive linemen and a fullback when you're lining up in the back field in that situation what are you what are you thinking about what do you like about that look uh we have six old linemen that's the biggest thing like all my old line I love them and without them we wouldn't be here so I just know I have one extra lineman an extra fullback blanking for me so that's that's good question um what can you say about the versatility that sa has where the point where if anything happens you you guys can kind of move around anywhere on the off yeah he's so special um it's been has been the case since he's got since he's got on campus I mean you know he started as a true freshman at guard um moved the right tackle last year and then obviously moved the left tackle went right went down so just his like you said versatility his um his Swagger and his confidence he's never afraid to do to do what needs to be done for the team and um every I think him being an offensive lineman he loses he doesn't get get as much um attention as he should but at the end of the day he is a first- round draft pick and he's been that way since he uh arrived on campus so um that is just a blessing to have him um protecting us all right that's our time thank you guys
