00:00What about your freshman quarterback, D.J. Lagway?
00:03He again rose to the occasion
00:04through a pair of TD passes and a win.
00:06Yes, he was the top quarterback prospect in the nation,
00:09but did you expect him to step right in
00:12and play this big, this soon,
00:14when pressed into action
00:15when Graham Mertz went down with that torn ACL?
00:19Yeah, if you were writing a movie script,
00:21I don't know that you could have written it much better.
00:23You know what I mean?
00:24I think his relationship with Graham Mertz,
00:28the way they handled those things with humility,
00:30with class, Graham's example,
00:33and then obviously very talented young man
00:36that has a unique drive and a unique focus.
00:39He's a grinder,
00:41and really what I've learned is, man, on game day,
00:43he becomes an elite competitor,
00:46and I think that rubs off on the team.
00:48So he has explosive playmaking ability
00:52and a presence that I think is contagious
00:54and certainly the players feed off of it.
