00:00 Given being involved in a couple of funky plays
00:03 early with the turnovers, what did it
00:05 mean to you to have such a productive day?
00:08 We can't let one play mess up the whole day.
00:12 So that's basically what we just talked about and ran
00:14 with throughout the whole game.
00:15 There's multiple bad plays out there,
00:17 but it's the way we respond to each play.
00:20 So that's how we take it.
00:22 Coach and Terrence talked about how the offense didn't
00:26 have its best day today.
00:27 But in an offense that's on its not best days,
00:30 putting up 63 points, how much fun are you having in that?
00:33 Like I said, we didn't have our best day.
00:35 I mean, 63 points on that board, but we didn't have our best day
00:38 as an offense.
00:39 When we had like 90-some yards with nine penalties,
00:42 that's not us.
00:43 That's not who we are as a team.
00:44 So we just got to go back to practice and get better.
00:47 Career day for you individually, just what went so well for you?
00:52 Just being able to respond off the negative plays.
00:55 It's good and all.
00:56 It was like I had 100 yards, but all the bad plays
00:59 that we made as a team, we just got
01:00 to go back and look at those.
01:01 Those going to come is God-given.
01:04 Blessed to be in that situation.
01:07 But at the end of the day, we still have to go back to work.
01:09 Were you surprised at how quickly you
01:11 were able to respond to that?
01:12 I mean, it was almost near instant
01:14 that you were able to make an impact on the game
01:15 after that first drive.
01:17 It's my teammates, Jeff Rabasa, Marcus Harper, T-Ferg, Bo.
01:23 Like all those guys, like Troy, like everybody,
01:26 just came to me like, hey, we know you the best on the field
01:28 every time.
01:29 So we need you to bounce back.
01:31 We're going to need you for this game.
01:33 And that's what I took it and ran with it immediately.
01:35 Once I heard that, it was--
01:36 basically, the game was over.
01:38 Can you take us through that long punt return
01:40 to just what you saw?
01:41 We game plan all day.
01:42 They do basically the same stuff we do as a punt unit.
01:46 And we knew they had weak spots.
01:48 And that's what it was.
01:50 My teammates just fired up.
01:51 I would just want to make a highlight for my teammates.
01:53 So that's probably what I did.
01:55 Just seen a hole and ran through it.
