The third episode of Sunday Night Overtime with Coach Claeys aired on Facebook Live last night at 7 p.m. This weekly, fast-moving and interactive show will air every Sunday on Facebook at 7 p.m. during the season and replaces the previous weekly coaches television show. Fans do not need a Facebook account to watch the show. If you miss a live episode, you can go back to our Facebook page and watch it or visit GopherSports.com on Monday to watch it.
We went to double overtime with Tracy Claeys after last night's show and asked him some more fan questions that did not make it on during the show. We wil be doing this every week in an effort to answer as many fan questions as possible.
Griffin Most: The first drive you had false starts and several third and long situations that you converted into a touchdown. Do you think that helped spark confidence in the offense?
TC: I think anytime you get out early it can boost your confidence. That was good. I didn't like the offset penalties either, but it was good to establish the pass protection versus the blitz we were receiving. There's no question, the faster you start the more confidence you get.
Robert Rudin: Do you think the band influences the game and if so how does it?
TC: I do, especially down at the one end. We have had plays the last couple years where the other team have had bad snaps or penalties or the center is snapping the ball early because of all the noise and chaos that the band causes. That's a great home-field advantage down at the end having the band so close to the field.
