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.
