00:00 >> What have the past couple weeks been like?
00:02 Your face up in New York City, now Dallas, what's that been like for you?
00:06 >> Well, fall camp's been great.
00:07 >> [LAUGH] >> We've had a good time at fall camp.
00:10 We've really connected over the last few weeks.
00:15 We've had a lot of players step up and fill roles and
00:21 a lot of vet guys that have been doing it a long time, but they're still reliable.
00:27 And with that comes great things like billboards.
00:31 It's great for the university, I think.
00:33 It's great for the team.
00:34 And we're not gonna let it distract us.
00:37 We're gonna keep the main thing the main thing, and
00:39 that's doing our best to win football games.
00:41 >> What was your involvement in the conception of putting you on a billboard?
00:46 >> I guess just playing at Oregon.
00:47 >> [LAUGH] >> Way out of my hands,
00:51 it's a lot bigger than me.
00:52 But it is a blessing to be in that opportunity,
00:56 to be in that position.
00:59 I couldn't have done it without my teammates, first of all.
01:02 To even be in this situation, if somebody even wants to do that for me.
01:05 But it speaks to the university.
01:08 It speaks to the football program.
01:11 It speaks to how prestigious it is to go to a place like Oregon and
01:15 how one time you're on one side and then you get to a school like Oregon.
01:21 And then all of a sudden how things can change and how your story can change.
01:24 And so I'm just blessed.
01:26 >> Any involvement with designs or the photos of the years?
01:30 >> Was the Heisman campaign and publicity and pushing you and
01:33 putting you on that platform part of what they were talking to you about in December
01:37 and January about coming back?
01:38 >> Well, they sure can't give you a Heisman.
01:41 So that's not necessarily a reason I came back.
01:44 I came back to win a championship.
01:46 And I came back to play with my teammates one more time and
01:50 play at Oregon one more time.
01:52 Have a season with the fans and the history one more time.
01:56 And all that can take care of itself.
01:59 I think on the field is where you gotta go out there and really make strides and
02:04 really grow.
02:04 And like I said earlier, you gotta keep what's the main thing, the main thing, or
02:09 you'll just lose sight of it and then you won't be as good as you can be.
02:12 >> Do you intend to go to New York and Dallas during the bye week to be there?
02:16 >> Well, that's kinda tough.
02:18 I don't see myself doing that.
02:22 Now with pictures and stuff, you can kinda see what it looks like.
02:25 But no, I probably won't get a chance to go see it.
