What's that sequence for the middle linebacker, for example?

Yeah, I think whenever we adopted the player-to-coach or coach-to-player communication, that's helped us a little bit from a defensive standpoint.

It's really not... it's really not in an advantage defensively.

Like there's a, there's a moment in which that, that coach to player communication stops.

Like it gets cut off at 15 seconds.

So it's not like, we don't have the advantage there.

The offense can, you know, they can, they can drain us out.

and

And you had Jaden Montgomery, who's a veteran, who you have to lean on a little bit more as a leader as well.

Yeah, I think, you know, you talk about unusual and certainly last year having a 27 seniors was very unusual in college football these days.

And then this year we've got 10 seniors, which is very unusual as well.

You know, I think at times, you know, we've experienced this in years past.

Some get talked about more than others.

But what you do have to do in the case in which you don't have a ton of experience in that field, in that upper level class, or you don't have a, you know, a ton of numbers in that upper level classes, you, you do have to rely on those that are in the, you know, the middle class in between, you know, arriving here and, and exiting here.

And, and I think we're fortunate from that standpoint that we do have, uh, we do have a mixture of leadership.

pretty good to Iowa lately, huh?
