00:00 >> When you were going down the field, did you know the quarterback is the only guy
00:03 who had a shot at you?
00:04 >> I didn't really know.
00:05 I just, I remember I just started running and then I was just like,
00:08 Coach Merag says if you get caught by the quarterback, like, it's an issue.
00:11 So I almost like I was going and then I seen him and I was like, I can't get caught.
00:15 I think he clipped me a little bit but I was like, come on, we can't fall like this.
00:19 I'm just grateful God kept my leg strong enough for that play.
00:23 >> It was a similar question last week, but were you surprised they went for it there?
00:27 >> No, that's a team that, I mean, I guess you guys don't get to see the tape on them.
00:32 But we watching them, once they get past probably about the 50 yard line,
00:35 they have a really good running back at number four.
00:37 And that's the same offensive coordinator from Oregon last year,
00:40 their head coach now and they went for fourth down all the time.
00:43 We played them last year, we played Oregon last year.
00:45 So we were expecting it, they're a really formationally sound team.
00:49 They threw a lot of stuff at us that I think we were really surprised with.
00:53 We respect them a lot for that.
00:55 >> When was the last time you scored a touchdown?
00:57 If you can recall.
00:57 >> I used to play for the CD Panthers.
01:00 I remember I was probably like ten years old.
01:05 >> [LAUGH] >> Yeah, yeah.
01:07 I was like, yeah, the Central District Panthers, so I was to them.
01:10 But yeah, no, they had me play tight end.
01:12 I remember I caught a corner out and I stiff armed two guys and I scored.
01:14 >> [LAUGH] >> So I was probably right at
01:15 Judkins Park, so that's probably the last time I scored a touchdown.
01:18 >> After the game, you ran down and leapt into the stands.
01:21 Was that spontaneous or?
01:23 >> I actually stole that from Alex Cook, so shout out to AC.
01:26 Cuz I remember we beat Cal 2021 year.
01:29 >> Yeah.
01:30 >> By that fumble stop in overtime.
01:32 I remember I saw him jump off into the crowd.
01:34 He had a really cool picture.
01:35 And I was like, hey, if I get an opportunity like that,
01:38 I'm for sure gonna jump into the crowd, for sure.
