Q: The first three or four games of the season, the offense would come out, first possession, score a touchdown. Defense comes out and they would, you know, hold the team and not score. The last couple weeks, you guys have faced a little bit of adversity in those areas. Can you talk about how the adversity is going to help this team down the road?
HEAD COACH BRIAN KELLY: Yeah, you know, I just think it's the duration of a season, right. There's ebbs and flows. There's ups and downs. I think you just experience it. I think our guys learned a lot from today's game in terms of, you know, hanging in there and having patience and finding ways to overcome some adversity. You know, very rarely do you give up a kickoff return for a touchdown, throw a pick, do some of the things we did today, and still find a way to win the football game.
A lot of good things that we can take from it. We obviously can't play like this week-in and week-out and feel like we're going to win every game we play.
But you're going to have some of these, and you've got to -- you've got to grow from them, and I really like our football team. They will grow from this. They will learn from it and we'll be better because of it.
