“Yeah, too many turnovers, and that’s what Georgia feeds off of, however I believe the important thing there was no one blamed one another. We had the turnover, we hustled proper again onto protection. You recognize, we didn’t have time to argue with each other or grasp our heads or say, ‘It’s essential to do that or you could do this.’
“It’s subsequent play mentality. I believe that speaks to with the ability to play with one another for 3 years. We don’t have time to argue about that. All we all know is you’ll be able to change it subsequent play. You may’t return in time and alter what occurred and I believe that’s—no one received in between our circle at this time and that’s what led us to this victory,” Clark stated.
In a event the place a number of possessions could be the distinction, understanding that an early mistake alongside the way in which isn’t a loss of life sentence is vital for this crew because it seems to proceed advancing.
