00:00 >> What emotions do you feel knowing that that's Bo's final game at the college

00:04 level?

00:04 >> It's crazy, man.

00:06 Like, I got this one year to play with him, and it was awesome.

00:10 Seeing that he was, like this is his last game, knowing this is his last game.

00:15 Basically me personally wanted to send him out with a bang.

00:18 So I think that's what we showcase tonight.

00:21 >> What does it feel like, since that Washington loss last month,

00:24 how badly did you wanna get back to this point?

00:25 >> Since we lost that game.

00:28 I know after that game, early in the season when we lost it,

00:32 I couldn't talk to nobody, cuz it's personal.

00:34 I felt it, the teammates,

00:36 it's just the energy that they carry around here against UW.

00:39 I mean, nobody here is like UW.

00:42 And it's personal, it's gonna be personal.

00:44 It's gonna be a good matchup cuz they got good playmakers, and so do we.

00:48 So it's gonna be really good.

00:49 >> How is the season feeling for you, Tess?

00:51 I mean, you were a super productive player at Troy.

00:54 You're having a career year at a higher level.

00:57 In the last couple of weeks, you're making some really acrobatic catches.

01:00 What is the last couple of weeks in particular feeling like,

01:03 as you're passing your best numbers from a year ago?

01:06 >> I feel like I'm getting better each and every week.

01:08 That's what it feel like, because I go out and practice and

01:11 work those same catches that I made tonight.

01:14 I did that in practice literally Monday and Tuesday.

01:16 But one thing I know for sure is whatever you do in practice is gonna show up in

01:21 the game, and I think that explains it right there.

01:24 >> With Washington, why does it feel personal?

01:28 Is it because it was a close game, or

01:30 what about the matchup feels personal to you?

01:33 >> Just the history.

01:34 I mean, I'm pretty sure everybody know playing UW,

01:37 just like it is with Oregon State out here tonight, it was personal.

01:41 And I'm pretty sure that's with every team.

01:43 It's personal with every team we play, but

01:45 UW and Oregon State are the main two teams that we wanna beat.

01:48 Everybody know a rival, just like the Iron Bowl.

01:51 Alabama don't like Auburn, Auburn don't like Alabama.

01:53 It's the same way, it's the same feeling.
