00:00 >> Very rewarding.
00:02 I'm just grateful to be back on this team this year and
00:08 have an opportunity to play a game that's all I could ever ask for.
00:16 Just thankful to God for orchestrating it the way he did and
00:21 blessing us with a great performance.
00:24 Just a special night.
00:26 Thankful to God.
00:28 >> Mason.
00:32 >> I think I had a good week of practice.
00:36 And I didn't sleep at all.
00:39 I don't think I slept at all.
00:41 I think it was Monday, Tuesday practice just because it's like that.
00:47 I hadn't taken a full day of reps in a while.
00:50 And so you're a little nervous and you're a little tightly wound.
00:53 But we got off to a good start.
00:55 And I think when you build the confidence through the week and
00:57 the preparation, Coach Sullivan and the way he took a lot of input from me.
01:03 And some sort of things that I like.
01:05 A lot of the same stuff as Kimmy and Mitch, but a few tweaks here and there.
01:10 He was very open to my input.
01:11 And I think you just feel confident when you have a good week of practice.
01:16 And you have no regrets about not watching.
01:21 Did I watch enough film?
01:21 I wanted to have no regrets in that department.
01:24 So that gives me confidence.
01:26 >> Is it your input involved?
01:28 Going deep, taking shots?
01:30 Or you?
01:32 >> We've had those plays in a lot of time all year.
01:36 But when you start with a lead, they have to pack the box.
01:41 They don't have to try to stop the run.
01:43 So when you're not leading and you're kind of a back and forth game,
01:47 teams can play to Tampa too.
01:50 And keep a lid on George and Deontay.
01:52 But when you're ahead and you're leading and you run the ball well like we were,
01:58 once again, credit to the offensive line, they did great.
02:01 They have to try to get a stop.
02:03 They've got to pressure and heat you up.
02:04 And then they're vulnerable.
02:06 >> Anyone else?
02:07 >> What are the next couple of days gonna be like,
02:10 kind of reflecting on what happened today?
02:12 >> Just a lot of gratitude.
02:17 I'm just so thankful to God for throwing me a bone and
02:23 giving me an opportunity to play.
02:25 I got my family here and celebrating Christmas.
02:29 So it's gonna be a fun time.
