Michigan State DT Eli Coenen, EDGE Kenny Soares Break Down Loss to Illinois

17-nothing deficit in the first half, what are the talks like on the sideline in terms of getting this score back? I mean, all four of the fir- all four of their possessions in the first half.

So, so-

Uh, they, they scored on all four of their possessions in the first half.

You're down 17-nothing at one point.

What was the discussion like at halftime for defense?

Video report.

I mean, just keep going.

You know, nothing you can do.

Nobody put their head down, just continue to push and play the game.

Game's not over, you know what I'm saying? Down fourteen-nothing.

It's the beginning of the half, it's time to go.

So just keep fighting and keep, keep going, which I thought we did.

All right, Chris.

Just for both of you guys.

Um, a, a game like this with, with so many emotion and, and, and momentum swings and everything else that comes along with it, what's the, the big picture takeaway from this in terms of how you guys can use this for the last half of the season?

I think at the end of the day, it's a loss.

There's no moral victories.

We don't do moral victories over here.

We're just gonna continue to play smart ball.

That's our number one goal.

You know, uh, we just continue to have, have to have each other's backs, you know, be great teammates and continue to practice hard every single day and just continue to build because we got six more games, six more opportunities.

That's what I see, especially finishing the season.

Six last games of their career, so just gotta keep going.

That's it.

Same thing.
