00:00 This was kind of showing what happens whenever we all play as one.
00:04 >> Tell me what does today's performance say about your team?
00:07 >> I feel like it shows that we're, I don't know, I feel like resilient.
00:10 Cuz after that first job, we came back out.
00:13 After that first job, we came back out, got a stop, and
00:15 then offensive defense was working as one.
00:18 >> What's this game mean to you guys, or to you specifically, Sparrow?
00:22 >> I mean, growing up in Georgia, being from Georgia, it's a big game,
00:26 big rivalry game.
00:27 To go out there and play, it means everything.
00:29 >> You're undefeated in this one, are you?
00:30 >> Yeah.
00:31 >> How's that feel?
00:32 >> I feel good, real good.
00:34 >> Now when you see teams trying to go sideways,
00:37 any one of you guys, what goes through your head?
00:39 >> You just gotta try to hold a perimeter and run it down.
00:41 >> But is that the only option, since they think they can't power through you?
00:45 You guys obviously got enough speed to hold the edge.
00:49 >> Yeah, no, sometimes it is.
00:50 >> Tell me about the mindset.
00:53 Obviously, they go down the field the first drive.
00:55 What was the mindset?
00:57 Was it physical changes, strategy changes,
01:00 that you guys stiffened up considerably after that?
01:03 >> I mean, it wasn't nothing physical, really, just kinda going to the sideline,
01:06 getting our corrections.
01:07 We seen what they were gonna do, and we took our adjustments and
01:10 went out there and played.
01:11 >> No panicking y'all to a minor at that point?
01:13 >> No, it's only the first drive, it's a long game.
01:15 >> Tell me about the pressure y'all were able to generate.
01:17 You finally get a fumble.
01:19 >> Yeah. >> That's crazy that that hasn't
01:21 happened at this point.
01:23 >> Yeah, crazy.
01:23 >> Was that a ridiculous celebration, what y'all got back?
01:26 >> [LAUGH] What you mean ridiculous celebration?
01:27 >> Well, I mean, cuz it's more than usual.
01:31 >> Yeah, we were tired, but it was Ty, his first game back after being,
01:34 he kinda had a little injury.
01:35 >> Right, yeah.
01:36 >> So we were all just really happy for Ty.
01:38 >> He got to put the pads on.
01:40 >> Yeah, he got to put the pads on, yeah.
01:42 >> How'd you feel like you played since that video this morning?
01:44 >> How I felt, I played specifically, I really kinda gotta look back and see.
01:51 >> Let's do it this way, talk me through that fourth down, the trick play.
01:54 >> The fourth down, the quarterback came on the center, it looked like, so
01:58 we kinda went to our sneak check.
01:59 And then I seen they snapped the ball to the running back, so
02:02 I kinda just converted, tried to rush.
02:04 >> He went through his leg, right?
02:06 >> I don't know how it got there.
02:07 >> He was behind the center, right?
02:09 >> That's what I thought.
02:10 >> Yeah, yeah.
02:11 Could you believe they were trying that in that situation?
02:15 >> I mean, it's a big game.
02:16 When this game's like this, rivalry games,
02:17 I feel like everybody gonna throw everything they got.
