00:00 >> Do you anticipate a high scoring game considering the former Heisman

00:04 quarterback was on the field and maybe the next Heisman quarterback was opposite him?

00:08 >> To be honest, the one thing I said I anticipated was a win.

00:12 However it came, however it went about, that's all I anticipated.

00:16 And that's all we preached and that's all we were looking forward to today.

00:19 So we were able to get it done, find ways to get it done.

00:22 And whenever it mattered most, we came out with it.

00:25 >> You talked about earlier,

00:27 I'm sure you're looking forward to seeing a start of a game of revenge,

00:31 especially being a player that you would see at this point.

00:35 How does it feel for you now?

00:37 Was it everything that you expected?

00:38 >> I ain't never say that.

00:39 I ain't never said nothing about revenge or nothing.

00:42 There's no revenge.

00:43 This is my first time playing, what's the revenge?

00:45 It's just about winning and winning.

00:48 That's what we love to do and that's what we're gonna continue to do.

00:52 So there's no revenge.

00:53 >> From your point of view, what did you see to make the running game click like

00:56 tonight, what was the difference?

00:58 >> Man, it's just the work that the guys put in all week.

01:00 We push the guys to strength, each and every rep, finish each and every rep.

01:04 And that's what we're able to do today.

01:06 And those guys up front, they played a heck of a game.

01:10 And man, I'm just so proud of them.

01:13 >> How much have you grown now as a quarterback,

01:16 time to see the start toward the start right now?

01:18 >> Yeah, man, I just feel like just maturing as far as just game experience and

01:24 being a second year with these guys, it's definitely been something that's helped us

01:28 out and helped us find different ways to win.

01:33 And I feel like I said, whenever I came back,

01:36 it was about getting that second year with these guys.

01:38 And I knew that we were gonna be able to do something special and

01:41 we're doing it right now.

01:42 We just gotta continue to keep our foot on the pedal and never get complacent.

01:46 >> Your throw to Devin in the end zone for a touchdown,

01:49 is that your best throw of the year?

01:50 >> I don't know, I don't know.

01:52 I don't know, and not for me to judge.
