Peter Woods question okay coach Sweeney said he was proud of you after the game um not only the way you fought and played but your remarks in the locker room the leadership that you showed what were some of the things you told your teammates um first thing I said that uh first thing that I said was you know for the guys in that room um when they leave Clemson one day I want those guys the only thing that they remember yet remember me as is somebody that never quit on them um and I hope that they remember that right now and I hope they remember that last year when we're sitting four and four and I never quit on them and I'll never quit on them now and I told them when I show up on Monday I'm show up with more energy than I ever have in my entire life and I'm be showing up like we haven't even played a game yet um and I said that I'm never quitting on this team and I challenge them never quit on me never quit on each other um because in the day it's one game and we got a long season ahead and we're going to flush this and learn from it and go get better and uh just challenge them to not quit on me and I won't quit on them because I'm never quitting on them um or let's go have a great great week next week great season Peter uh you look pretty comfortable out there on the edge today had a great first half too how how good did it feel to play out there uh it felt it felt it felt good you know I've done it before it's not really my first time ever doing it but uh you know just kind of working the game plan and stuff that the coaches have for me to do and you know just kind of worked out that way why why do you think you all had so much success in the first half stopping their offense and you know kind of got away from you in the second half uh you know credit credit to Georgia you know they're they're a great team but you know like just like K said you know we got to come out Monday and you know we'll watch it on tape and see what really happened you know schematically at the end of the day you know what I'm saying just we got to fight we got to finish it's a long season ahead and you know there's no hope hope for a better yesterday but uh there's hope for us to do something about it tomorrow and the day after that in the days to come so that's kind of how we're approaching that okay what would you attribute just generally the offensive struggles to one specific thing or a few things um you know I mean I can't really put my finger on it exactly um I thought we had a pretty good first half in terms of moving the football um and then it would be you know penalty penalty like when we really can't have it you know third down conversions moving the ball you know hit the backside hook outout to Antonio penalty big third down right there we're getting in the Red Zone we're marching um you know just shooting ourselves some foot um so you know I you know they they're a great team and um I just you know I think that I I think we have a great offense and I think that we're going to be able to do some really good things this year and um just continue to uh you know fine-tune the details and um but you know I think and I think throwing the football we did some good stuff today um and running the football Phil ran it really hard today and made some great cuts um you know protection I felt like I had a lot of time back there and um just got to you know take advantage of the opportunities when they come this is an elite defense um and and turnovers were so problematic for y'all last year especially the catastrophic turnovers um must be a positive takeway that you didn't put the ball on the ground against that defense you just had the one interception that was just a great play by by the defender unbelievable play you know I mean you know saw saw TB kind of have a yard on him and and let it out there and you know guy did a great job kind of pushing Tyler to the sideline and I mean one of the best plays I've seen um since playing at Clemson so uh kind of you know took the hat to that kid right there but yeah I mean I thought we did a great job obviously handing the football and um and taking care of it I mean other than that I don't think we even had a turnover all night um other than the fourth down stop if you want to count that so you know I mean just I thought we did a pretty good job you know taking care of the ball it just got to take advantage of opportunities when they're there and um just couple M so what are y thoughts on the upcoming week with App State very competitive team coach D say one of the best G5 teams out there night game at Death Valley good to be back home kind of as you said as I said flush this away what are K Peter what are your thoughts on what you expect the MERS come in next Saturday night uh like I said de before the standard still a standard U just like I said you know playoff ready game one now it's playoff ready game two and we're going to approach it with the same intensity as if we were coming out to play the number one team in the nation just like we did this past weekend that's just kind of the mindset that we got right now in the locker room the conversation that we had is like hey look we we took this one to the chin but I'm I'm just keep saying there's no hope for a better yesterday but we can do something about it tomorrow and so that's that's that's what we plan to do you know just come out here with Focus intensity and uh get ready to have a great week of practice and a great game on Saturday that's out yeah can when I said show Monday ready to go kind all I have Peter U you guys H sorry you guys H Georgia to six points in the first half and gave up 28 in the second I guess what did GE kind of change from the first and second half that kind of led to that offensive explosion yeah like I said we just uh got to go and watch the tape on Monday and see you know kind of kind of where we slipped up and uh credit to Georgia to I mean they're a great team I mean they're not robots just like we're not robots they went in and made some some adjustments in the second that kind of that kind of gave him the edge over us in the second half and so you know credit to them but you know there's always little things and and big things too that we can do to be better on that side of the ball but uh you know we played our hearts out and we're going to come back and we going to punch and we going to punch and we going to fight we're not giving up you're not quitting and you know that's that's not even us not our DNA anybody else for these guys yeah K there was a couple times early on I think that the receivers kind of lost the ball was in the air was dir kind explanation or what they saw in those plays um which ones specifically there's one I think to Antonio in the end zone uh the flag route and then early on to Cole when he was going downfield looked like he had a little bit of space y um yeah first one to tone he just say he lost it in the lights um you know lights kind of shining down but I mean that's it was a great play it was it was definitely there just kind of you know that one sucked to kind of not hit um we had him kind of where we wanted them and tone tone ran a great route just kind of lost it in the air and um definitely wish we had that one back just kind of missed opportunity and then yeah the one the one to Cole um I just don't think he was expecting it I I really I yeah that's kind of that's kind of for K mention I think it was on the fourth and one in the first half um there was some he Ed word miscommunication what happened on that one I think you were halfway in the Huddle or you guys were come off maybe weren't you didn't call a timeout at at the end of oh yeah yeah it was just my fault um kind of honestly didn't understand what he was thinking um and I didn't know you know I I we just were on the same page I didn't know if I know I didn't know he was going to take a delay game um was was really thing um so in my instance you know I'm thinking all right let's not BL ourselves up anymore and um you know it wasn't too big de in the long run but just you know kind of letting him handle those um you know I kind of just saw a clock at one and my instinct was you know call timeout because I don't want to you know whatever so um yeah it was it was fine I mean I won't I won't do that again so yeah just something we hadn't really just didn't know the scenario that he I didn't know he wanted to it wasn't a deal so all right thank you guys thanks guys thanks guys appreciate you
