Q. Can you walk us through the final 39 seconds, the final minute of the first half, throwing the ball, and what happened?
COACH SMART: "Yeah. Typically, when you're down, you need every possession you can have. Andwe made a decision that we were going to be aggressive and we were going to try to go two-minute. And that's what everything says you should do. You can't give up possessions when you're trailing. So we're down 6-3. We felt like we had a little quick-game pass. Certainly not counting on getting beat that quick at left tackle. And got a sack-fumble, which gave them some momentum. But at the end of the day, we got a great red-area defense. We should stop them. We don't play passive here. We play to be aggressive, and we're trying to go score."
