You just make those kind of mistakes in critical situations like we did.
You're not gonna win.
And, and so, obviously, we've got to get those things fixed, um, and we'll, uh, look at the tape and review the tape and make a lot of corrections and, and get better.

We had them backed up, um, and let them out because we got a face mask penalty and then we got a late hit on the quarterback penalty and You know, we had an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, uh, from our running back.
We just, I mean, stuff that is, um, not again, not indicative of our players and our program, but certainly was tonight.
