00:00 >> Coming off a big win, some people might be wondering if you guys might have
00:03 a letdown in all this.
00:04 Have you seen any signs of that from your group?
00:06 >> I think we're just keeping the main thing the main thing.
00:08 Taking practice serious day at a time.
00:12 We had an intense practice today on Tuesday, real physical, so
00:16 I think we've been getting the right steps.
00:18 >> We were in a lot of RPOs.
00:20 What challenge does that put on the defense, and especially you at corner?
00:23 Does that do anything for you, or is that more for the front seven guys?
00:26 >> Yeah, just make sure that your eyes are right in coverage.
00:29 You don't wanna think you're reading a run, and
00:32 then they might pull it and still up on the ball.
00:33 So you just gotta be a little bit more disciplined in coverage and
00:36 where your eyes are.
00:36 >> You've been a lot of plays at the Atlanta Supreme, four tackles per loss.
00:41 Is that something you kind of envisioned was gonna be in the gameplay defensively
00:45 for you guys at corner?
00:47 >> Yeah, I know this game, last game, we was gonna have to show up in a run a lot.
00:51 Just cuz Utah was a top five team running the ball.
00:55 So it's just something that we prided ourselves in that upcoming week.
01:00 And it's always something that we are capable of.
01:02 It's just a matter of when we have to really show it.
01:04 >> When does that game, and you've had interceptions and
01:08 pass coverage, you've had sacks, some things that you've not necessarily
01:11 chance to show in Alabama.
01:13 But what is it about how you're playing right now or
01:15 about the positions you've been putting in this defense that's allowing you to do
01:18 all this?
01:19 >> It's really just opportunity, honestly.
01:22 It's not really a shot or anything.
01:24 It's just my coaches, Coach Landon and Coach Tosh and Coach Meek just put me in
01:29 the right position to make plays and just execute.
01:32 That's all that really came down to.
01:34 >> What's more satisfying for you, a sack or a pass break up?
01:39 >> Probably pass break up.
01:40 Yeah.
