00:00 I'm excited, I love coming up there.
00:03 Is that something you guys have kind of put in since the spring?
00:06 I saw you guys got some more linebackers than that.
00:08 That's something, uh, Packers that we put in during the spring.
00:11 I asked you in fall camp, and you said that's something you like to do.
00:15 Just tell me about that.
00:17 I feel like it's easier for me to come up there since I can use my speed to get around the offense line and to the quarterback.
00:25 You guys play the physical team tonight.
00:27 How do you think you match their physicality?
00:30 I feel like we match them pretty good.
00:32 Our defensive line, they handle what they have to do.
00:35 Everybody else, we just handle what we have to do too.
00:38 Kind of just look at this game overall, what can you take away from being a team like Illinois?
00:45 Say that again?
00:46 Kind of look at this game overall, what can you take away from being a team like Illinois?
00:50 It's a big 10 team. We're playing a big team.
00:54 It's a big 10 team. It's always special to come to see a big 12.
01:00 First off, congratulations on the win tonight.
01:04 Second, we saw multiple times the other game players hyping up the defense.
01:08 All you guys out there, Kobe, Kenny Logan, hyping everyone up.
01:11 Does that get your interest as well?
01:13 It does. It brings a lot of energy to us.
01:15 I want to just go make that play for them.
01:18 After you see big sacks and big hits, does that also get you guys into it?
01:22 Yes, it would. Thank you.
01:24 JB, tell me about coming out in the crowd and you guys in the black jerseys tonight.
01:29 Did you guys have a little extra hype?
01:30 Yeah, it was. It was a great atmosphere coming out.
01:33 Just seeing all the fans, excited to see us.
01:37 Glad to be here too.
01:39 Thanks, JB.
01:40 No problem.
01:41 JB, you've had a couple pretty big plays in the last couple games.
01:46 What's it like to be able to have such impactful plays on a defense like this
01:50 with so many different guys that can contribute?
01:52 I know I have to step up, so that's what I did.
01:55 I'll do anything for my brothers.
01:57 I'm just there at the right time to play.
02:00 What did you think the D-Lines played tonight?
02:04 I think they played a heck of a game.
02:06 They played one of the best physical games.
02:10 For you, how did it feel to get that first sack?
02:13 It felt great.
02:14 Coming off the edge, setting them up to go inside, we did it.
02:19 How often have you guys been practicing somebody like you coming off the edge like that?
02:23 We've been practicing since the spring.
02:26 What does it do for your defense when you're able to have guys
02:29 who can come in in different positions like that and make an impact?
02:32 Also, Jeremy moving the defense and tackling and stuff like that.
02:34 How does that help your front overall?
02:36 It's great knowing that we've got different guys that we can use in different pieces
02:40 and just be at the right place at the right time.
