00:00 Your overall thoughts on your guys' offensive performance
00:02 today?
00:03 I thought we did some good things.
00:05 I thought we could correct some of the bad things.
00:08 But overall, I mean, we did good.
00:10 We pushed the ball down the field.
00:11 We ran the ball really efficiently.
00:14 And then we completed passes when we needed to,
00:16 had some explosives.
00:17 We can still cut back on some penalties.
00:19 But sometimes situational penalties, hard to avoid.
00:24 But we just got to clean some stuff up
00:26 and continue to find explosive plays.
00:28 Can you give us your perspective on JPJ's Superman dive
00:31 on that run out to the left?
00:33 Yeah, so JPJ's a great effort guy.
00:37 He's a really smart football player.
00:39 He cares a lot.
00:41 He just wants to make a play.
00:43 I saw it right in front of me.
00:45 He kind of did it.
00:47 I think he was trying to take out two guys at once
00:50 and just missed a little bit.
00:51 [INAUDIBLE]
00:52 There's going to be a lot of outside noise this week
00:55 because of the opponent.
00:56 You're obviously used to that.
00:58 You know how to block it out.
00:59 A lot of the young guys on this team may not know how to do that.
01:02 How are you, as a leader on this team,
01:04 to be able to help them with that process?
01:06 You know what?
01:07 It just starts at practice.
01:08 It starts showing up and just putting our head down
01:10 and going to work.
01:13 There's a lot of things, like I said, as a team,
01:15 we can correct and fix.
01:16 And it's just eliminating the chatter, eliminating the noise,
01:22 doing our best as a team to eliminate it overall.
01:26 And then when it's time to work, just really keep
01:29 the main thing the main thing and just go back
01:31 to work for ourselves and correct ourselves.
01:34 You obviously dealt with quite a bit of that at Auburn.
01:36 At what point in your career did you
01:37 feel comfortable just kind of shutting down
01:39 the outside noise and just focusing on that week?
01:43 You know, my freshman year, a lot of ups and downs.
01:46 I had some really good moments and then I
01:48 had some tough losses.
01:49 So during my freshman year, you kind of
01:51 have to learn to get off social media.
01:53 You got to delete it so you aren't
01:56 even tempted to get on it.
01:57 And once that happens, you can hear some chatter.
02:01 But really, you're keeping the main thing the main thing.
02:03 The focus is on the preparation and on the game.
02:06 New turnover so far this year for you guys.
02:08 How much is that--
02:09 Oh, why'd you jinx it?
02:10 Come on.
02:12 No, I'm kidding.
02:13 How much of that is something that you guys
02:14 talked about in the offseason with Coach Stein?
02:16 We talk about that every day.
02:17 That's our main goal.
02:19 We want to play clean.
02:20 And the number one way to play clean
02:22 is not turn the ball over, not give them easy possessions.
02:26 So it's important for us.
02:27 We work at it.
02:28 We put an emphasis on it.
02:29 And so it's one thing that we hope to continue to do,
02:32 because that's why we're playing very efficiently.
02:34 What has helped Tez kind of come in--
02:36 obviously, you know him super well--
02:38 but come in and just be able to do this much for you guys,
02:41 especially over the last two weeks, he's really stepped up.
02:43 Well, he just provides something different out there at receiver.
02:47 We really have a lot of big explosive playmakers
02:51 at receiver.
02:51 Obviously, Trey showed another one tonight.
02:54 Troy's explosive on any play.
02:57 And then GB, he hasn't--
02:59 that first game, he had a lot of touches.
03:01 We got to get him more involved.
03:03 But all those guys, they do a really good job
03:05 of just when their number's called, they go out there
03:08 and make a play.
03:09 They feed off of each other.
03:10 And so Tez does a really good job
03:13 of feeding off those other guys.
03:14 And those other guys do a good job of feeding off of him.
03:17 And that whole room, I'm excited to see them continue
03:19 to build and grow and get better as a unit
03:23 because they definitely helped me.
