They led 28 seven and half. And Aaron Henry, of course, was in his first game on the road as the new defensive coordinator for the line I last year. And he reminisced about that this week in champagne. Yeah, obviously it was a it was an incredible teacher moment for me as a coach. You know, I think any time you there were some obvious some things that you go into that game you think you're prepared for and they get exposed and and the there were some things I felt like we we were on the opposite side of or the receiving and the right like I just felt like we had opportunities to take the ball away. I felt like we had opportunities to make tackles. I felt like we had opportunities to capitalize on some things and get off film third down. We didn't we didn't properly execute on every single level. And so I had to obviously as a coach, you know, anytime yourself for a loss like that, anytime you go through a loss like that, I think one thing you deal with is is why, right? You act yourself why and what could you have done different to ensure that you had success? And so just from that standpoint, you know, I probably I probably watched the Kansas game probably 100 plus times, you know, again, the line nine Kansas coming up Saturday night at six in champagne at Memorial Stadium line. I volleyball in action this weekend, 4 p.m. They'll play Toledo tomorrow up in Ames, Iowa.
