00:01 >> Okay, Isaac Shade, go ahead, Isaac.
00:04 >> Thanks, Coach Isaac Shade from Altar Heels for Sports Illustrated.
00:07 First, I wanted to say what you were saying about your time out,
00:10 you've been hanging out with Coach Williams too long.
00:13 Hey, I wanted to ask you- >> That's a good thing.
00:17 >> [LAUGH] You stuck with Atkins after he missed the chip shot field goal
00:22 early in the game and he rewarded you with his first multi field goal game
00:28 of the season, what does it do for
00:30 a young man's psyche to stick with him in a moment like that?
00:32 >> We watch him every day, Isaac, and he's got such a powerful leg.
00:38 He can kick it 60 yards, and he gets it really high.
00:42 So there shouldn't be many blocked, except for the one that he missed.
00:46 So, and he missed the first two at Furman last year, weirdly enough, and
00:51 then made, I think, 11 in a row, and was an All-American.
00:55 So I'm not giving up with him with all this craziness.
00:59 The two of the ones he missed before the one today were a foot to the left.
01:05 And I'm such a great coach, I said, aim more to the right, so we can do that.
01:12 And some of the coaches said today, do you wanna change kickers?
01:15 And I said, no, I think you'll be good.
01:18 And I walked down and said, what'd you do?
01:19 And he said, I went too quick, and I pulled it, taxed.
01:25 So slow down, be confident, and do the things you need to do.
01:28 And hopefully now this will give him the confidence to be a factor
01:34 as we get in this stretch to end the season.
01:37 >> Thanks, Coach.
