🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

oh what a great football team we played tonight they uh they are really athletic and uh extremely well coached I just I mean in every phase they uh they outclassed us they they blocked us and kept us blocked um we couldn’t sustain blocks uh in the interior or on the perimeter um they did a great job on the punt block we uh you know it’s it’s embar embarassing to have that happen um that hadn’t happened in our program in years and uh you know just they they made they made a bunch of plays and uh I’m proud of our guys proud of the effort our guys continued to fight the entire game um and you know it was it was uh to a point there certainly in the fourth quarter that it was going to be really hard for us to find a Pathway to Victory but our guys never stopped fighting and and uh and and you know that’s we proud ourselves on that fortunately that’s been able to to get us to the victory Circle more often than not lately but uh tonight we just faced a great team and so uh you know congratulations to coach Freeman and their team and we certainly wish them uh success as they go forward but um we had two two the two guys up here U terrific players for us and and uh you know both really fought and played hard and and had good football games tonight just collectively we didn’t we didn’t do uh what we needed to to win the football game and and and frankly so much of it had to do with them it wasn’t uh the fact that uh you know we Misfit a bunch of runs or we had a lot of Miss assignments or anything like that just we couldn’t block them and keep them blocked and we couldn’t get off of their blocks and that’s that’s the fundamentals of football and and uh they did that much better than us so um you know we’ll we’ll Reg group and and try to get ready for next next week and you when when when you get to this point in the season uh when a team gets to this point in the season and we won as many games as we have all the games are big this was a big game today uh unfortunately we came up short but next week’s a big game and the one after that’s a big game and one following that one there’s not a bigger game for us on the schedule so uh we got a lot to look forward to and a lot to play for we’ll open up for questions in the back there coach uh talk about what it means to coach in a rivalry that dates back as long as this one does and just the history behind this rivalry well I don’t know if you call it a rivalry uh you got to win sometimes for to be a rivalry uh and we haven’t won this one in a long time we don’t play them every year uh thank god um they they they are such a good football team and uh you know it what an awesome night for our guys and none of our guys got recruited by undername and it’s not like they had their choice of going to 14 power five schools and U you get a chance to experience playing a team like Notre Dame playing in a venue like Yankee State who gets to play here not very many football teams get the player not many athletes this is one of the most iconic Sports venue in the world and we got to go compete out there on that field how many people are envious of our players coaches and so mean it was awesome to be able to be out there and be a part of that tonight I just wish I wish we could have played better I wish we could have found a way to to be more competitive in the game um but you know the history belongs to to know today they they’ve won this game and and certainly won tonight and um it uh it’s just it’s an awesome experience for our guys and that’s it’s something they’ll remember and and uh you know won’t be quite a fond memory but but a memory that they were able to play in Yankee Stadium Joe go ahead Jo hey coach monin we knew n Dame was going to be awesome athletically and physically um was there anything from a scheme Point offensively or defensively that surprised you at all no no surprise um I I guess maybe I’m just surprised how how how much better they were tonight and uh I thought we would be competitive in the game I thought we could we could play with them I thought we could block them and and sustain blocks enough that uh that we could get the Run game going um I thought our guys just the way we play with effort on defense might be able to to rally and make some plays and you it was there was there were no surprises their their football team is highly motivated um they’re playing for a spot in the college football playoff um they’re well coached it it it’s apparent uh that they have they they do have a very strong culture and those guys play together and they’re playing with a lot of Pride and so um it’s just a very difficult team to beat tonight and and uh I’m certain they’re probably going to make it tough on a lot of people to beat them in the black go ahead coach you emphasized some of the low lights tonight you know despite the tough laws was there any positive you found or saw throughout the game to build on oh sure I mean that the goal line stand was fantastic by our defense we’ve done that a couple of times already this year and uh just a great effort on their part I was really proud of them for that um the uh you know the the the two touchdown drives you those are gritty and tough and uh there weren’t any big EXP of plays we had to you we had to grind the ball all the way down the field to to make those touchdowns so I certainly proud of that um I’m just proud of the way our guys continued to fight and there there was absolutely no quit if you were watching our team yeah they they kicked our butts that was apparent but it also apparent that the guys in the white jerseys never quit and uh and so I’m really proud of them for that and you know there there’ll be some things that we’ll see on the film as we watch that we could have done better but we didn’t lose the game tonight because as I said we blocked the wrong guy or missfit gaps or didn’t cover the right receiver they just made way more plays and uh and they were they were better right here go ahead hey Jeff R so with the um you you obviously you said you guys fight till the end and nobody’s going to question your guys do you give any consideration in the late in that game to give Bryson the series off um because all the really big games you have coming up yeah um no you explain what goes into that our guys are every one of our guys are going to be commissioned officers in the army and every one of their classmates was sitting up there in the end zone U and the the other 4,000 that are back at West Point are all going to be commissioned officers in the army that that that’s a mentality that is uncommon to accept that responsibility to make that commitment and what a soldier does is a soldier fights a soldier fights until the end and we were trying to win that football game to the very end it got to a point where we weren’t going to be able to win the football game but we weren’t going to go park the bus and that’s just that’s just a that’s just who we are um and and you know had we had we been in a position where if was 49 to 28 and Bryson played his ass off and uh we had some touchdown drives and we we were a little more competitive then maybe yeah maybe we we we give Dwayne a chance to go into a game like that and and to uh to have a chance to to compete on that level and on you know against a team like that that’s good for him for the future but what was good for our football team tonight to to continue to fight with our best our starters our guys that we think give us the best chance to win and we had two drives in the fourth quarter one of them extended from the third into the fourth uh and Bryson was in for that one um we turned it over on Downs they scored on one play we got the ball back and that was the last Drive of the game and we went down and scored a touchdown and and that one took 10 minutes so we weren’t going to pull them out in the middle of the dve drive and that kid’s a warrior I mean you see him walk in here he’s got blood running down his arms and legs and his jersey looks like you know the the sand bony machine pulled it around on the field out there um he’s tough and he wants to compete and he’s a leader and uh you know that’s just the fight of the American Soldier and and it’s important that we display that fight cuz it’s it it’s those men and women that we represent every time we play um so you know I’m I’m I’m proud of him and sure we run the we run the risk of him being beat up and and all those things and going into the next game but I I think it was important it it was important for us to continue to to Really strive to to try to finish that game with our best and that’s that’s why we left them in there couple more Ken crazy uh Coach Ken crater cam vets media just it was a very physical game uh how do you uh address going into next week’s game against Texas San Antonio couple of players were hurt Maxi Dominico and Cody Harris Miller any comment you can offer well we’ll get a better evaluation as as those injuries calm down Max got hurt in the first half and was able to come back and play in the second half he didn’t finish the game it was a it was a knee injury but uh enough that he could go back in and they just he knocked knes with another guy they’re in the end zone and so probably a bad Bru or something like that we we’ll we’ll assess that Cody um he hobbled off there and wasn’t able to return and so we’ll get we’ll get some Imaging of it and really see what’s going on hopefully it’s nothing serious and and uh he’ll be able to play he’s been a lot to our defense and we’d certainly like to have him down the stretch thank you we in terms of getting ready for UTSA next week brother I mean it’s it’s it’s just get back to work tomorrow I’m I’m proud of our guys I told them I’m proud of them and they uh they gave it their best effort um we got beat tonight and and next week’s game will be as hard to win as this one was we’re playing a very talented team a very well coached team they’re playing their best football right now they they U you know they won 51 to something uh this weekend and and uh that’s a team that we’ve always you know battled with and and had some very close games last time they came to Mikey State and they beat us in overtime so um we’re going to get right back to work and we’ll be working on the bus on the way back to West Point and we’ll be working first thing tomorrow thank you thanks Ken had big jum are games like this against teams like n d a good way to gauge where your program’s at right now and know where you got you to do to get oh I I I don’t know so to speak oh I think to be n and0 going into this game this team’s been playing next level uh it’s hard to it’s hard to to say Notre Dame’s a measuring stick for our program we don’t have a single guy that got recruited by Notre Dame and probably after this game Mark Marcus isn’t going to be checking the transfer portal to see if any of our guys are available um you know it’s just a reality of who we are and so I I I’m not going to feel like because we weren’t able to beat no name tonight that we you know we somehow are um failing in in our abilities to be able to compete at the highest level you that’s that’s a great football team and they’ve beaten a lot of really good football teams um and and I’m sure they’ll probably win some more games and and uh and get people heck in the playoffs off um that’s not to say that we can’t be competitive with power five programs uh we’ve done that here over the course of my career we’ve played we played some of the best teams in the country really close and um you know took two top 10 teams in back toback years to overtime we beat a what I thought was a very talented Missouri team um we we you we we’ve beaten wake and Duke and you know those are those are all schools that didn’t recruit you our guys either uh so we’ve been able to be competitive but this this this team is next level you know this is talking about a top 10 football team in the country so I I’m not I’m not doing any measuring on that and where I think we are as a program we got a really strong culture we got really tough guys and we got some Talent guys and now collectively weer the most talented team on the field tonight but we we got guys that fought and played and and I’m I’m not panicking and feeling like oh my gosh what’s wrong with our team I I believe in our guys and I believe in our team and we got to beat by a really good football team tonight so uh I I I hope we don’t have to play them again before the season’s over we we P somebody else at this point but um you know who knows they’re they’re uh when I look at those teams like Notre Dame who really have access to the top recruits in the country um when when when you flip on it you know pull up the SPN on your computer and you look at recruiting rankings you look at recruits that are the top guys what schools they’re interested you know often those recruits are mentioned in Notre Dame as one of their schools I I’ve yet to see a you know a top 300 Prospect mention Army in one of his his uh you know top schools it’s just who we are and uh and what that thaton back yeah I don’t know if he was top 300 guy but he’s he’s he’s a really good player he certainly was and uh that doesn’t mean we got guys on our team didn’t you know didn’t have scholarship offers other places but probably not any FBS offers or certainly not any power five offers so anyway sorry to be longwinded on that we’ll do two more and then wrap up Seth go ahead coach you got three big games ahead of you um what do you tell your kids after a game like this tomorrow I know how you practice what do you tell them with three very important games ahead that I’m proud of them that I love each and every one of them and that if we’re going to win next week we get back to work tomorrow and not let this derail us uh because and that takes mental toughness and and self- discipline because it’s easy to look and and feel like man we just got our butts kicked what’s wrong with us and uh you can you can let it we we could let it affect us but I think we got a mature enough team and when a team gets to this point in the season we’re nine and one the the games are big next week’s a big game our guys know that and uh for whatever that means but it’s it’s it’s just the next opportunity to play and really to to get the bad taste out of our mouth from tonight and so hopefully we’ll our guys won’t let this game linger in the next week and I hope we win next week if we don’t win next week it won’t because be because of tonight uh I know we’ve got a mature enough team to not let that happen but we’re going to have to really work hard to beat UTSA because I I think they’re really good anyone else thanks everybody thanks everybody we Navy thanks
