And so thankful for that.

From an injury perspective,

In game, we got some bumps and bruises associated with play.

And that may limit some people at the early portions of the week.

But thankfully, we came out of it relatively well.

Everyone that returned to action last week, from TJ to Isaac Silmalu to Calvin Austin, James Pierre, Brandon Echols, all were able to participate without any steps backwards, and so thankful for that.

We're a relatively healthy group as we lean in on the single elimination tournament, and so excited about that.

Now I turn my attention toward Houston.

Man, they're a top-notch group.

They need no endorsement from me.

They're winners of nine straight.

And when you win nine straight games, there's usually a mode of operation, and it certainly is.

They're a group that takes very good care of the football as a collective.

I think they have 10 turnovers on the season.

That's number one in football.

I think they're number three with 27 takeaways on defense.

And so you talk about complementary football.

They got an offense that's the best in the world at securing it.

They got a defense that's third best at taking it away.

And I think that's the building blocks of nine consecutive wins.
