00:00 >> That you're being sent back out there time and time again for the overtime.

00:03 >> Yeah, I mean, that's how I do my job.

00:06 I kept thinking I was gonna come down to a kick,

00:09 kind of being Andy Roach back and forth.

00:12 So I had to stay ready, stay close to the net cuz those last two in overtime were

00:17 a minute apart, I don't even know, but definitely had to stay ready,

00:20 keep my leg warm.

00:21 >> For you to have a game like this after what happened in Atlanta for you,

00:24 just kind of, what was that like for your confidence?

00:26 >> Yeah, I mean, it was definitely a bounce back week.

00:30 I focused even harder this week, I kind of put that game beside me.

00:35 I didn't want that to be without me, and I kind of just worked hard.

00:39 The whole team worked hard this week.

00:40 We won that last game against Georgia Tech, but it wasn't how we wanted to play it.

00:44 This whole week we worked hard and just grinded it.

00:47 Didn't get the outcome we wanted today, but we got it behind us and

00:51 we got a little turn on it next week, so just gotta keep working.

00:53 >> How often, if at all, do you guys, do you practice the overtime scenario and

00:59 taking it under that next week?

01:00 >> Yeah, so we do it on Thursdays, kind of a walkthrough,

01:04 kind of either last minute scenario.

01:06 We either have a tornado call, we gotta run on the field quick and hit one, or

01:10 just kind of me being ready, just one minute drill, got a near touchdown.

01:13 So pretty much like the same scenario, just basically needed the field goal to

01:16 keep going, so definitely.

01:18 >> What's going through your head during that overtime scenario?

01:21 >> I just had to do my job, it was the job to me, but

01:24 everyone else was doing their job to get us there.
