00:00Last time facing Washington, your Oregon career, what does this game kind of mean to you?

00:08How are you preparing for it?

00:10It means a lot to the people that have came before me, like all the alumni.

00:14I know it means a lot to the state of Oregon, the Pacific Northwest.

01:27You know, it's been it's been great.

01:28I've developed as a man on and off the field.

01:29And then as well, just meeting, you know, new people, just like you said, with the transfer

01:32portal, having an opportunity to leave, come back, whatnot.

01:35But, you know, it's been great meeting a whole lot of new teammates and then, you know, just
