In a post-game interview with Pam Oliver of Fox Sports, quarterback Jalen Hurts talked about progress and how the team continues to learn from their experiences.
“We just want to continue to chase progress. We want to continue to learn from our mistakes, learn from our successes and just continue to grow,” Hurts said in the on-the-field interview. “That’s what it’s about. Just progress. Constant progress.”
He added, “Mainly, it’s just you never want to ride waves. You don’t want to ride waves. You never want to get too high or get too low. You just want to keep the main thing the main thing, and just keep going. Nothing else really matters but chasing that growth every day. That’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to stay focused. We know what we believe in and we just want to continue to di it. I think you sit there and watch these games and you wonder so many different things but the realty is we’re never satisfied, so I think there’s more out there for us to do.”
