00:00 >> You got your first touchdown as a duck last week, first one off the camp.
00:03 Did that feel any different for you?
00:05 >> Felt great, it was electric, everything I dreamed of, and many more to come.
00:09 >> We also had the video last week about Huggins, and he scored, he scored.
00:14 What was the environment today scoring not once but twice on the sideline?
00:18 >> This actually my first time scoring twice in one game like in college, so
00:21 it was, that was pretty crazy.
00:23 But it felt good, like I said,
00:26 anytime you get to score an awesome in front of all those fans, man, it's so real.
00:31 I love it.
00:32 >> You predicted on Tuesday you'd get in there, and you got in there twice.
00:35 Was that just intuition, or did you know something was coming, or
00:38 walk us through that first one, I guess?
00:40 >> I think it was cuz the preparation that I had.
00:43 I was just anticipating it.
00:44 I just knew it was coming.
00:46 I was so ready for the game.
00:47 I felt like I could have did some things better, but I got two on the day.
00:52 What more could you ask for?
00:54 So, yeah.
00:55 >> Just the playmaking ability in general of your group.
00:58 You've shown it, making a guy miss and scoring.
01:00 Trey Sean showed it as well.
01:01 We've seen it with Troy.
01:03 Just the big play ability of your group.
01:05 >> I mean, like every guy in that room, we want the next guy to have fun out there.
01:11 We don't really care about stats and all that.
01:13 We just wanna win the game.
01:14 And if one receiver have a lot of catches or a lot of yards,
01:18 hey, we gonna praise them every time.
01:19 We're not just gonna down talk anybody.
01:21 That's one thing I like about the room.
01:22 Like Trey Sean, he was in there and he got two today.
01:25 Also, I told him before the game, I was like, hey, this is your game,
01:28 you finna get one.
01:29 And he believed in it and he got two of them today, actually.
01:31 So that was pretty good.
01:33 The room is just very, we poised, we love one another, and
01:38 we got each other back, so.
01:39 >> What's the thought process like when the ball bounces in front of you on
01:43 return there, and whether or not to go for it or not?
01:45 And are you pleased with all your decisions today of grabbing them off the hop?
01:48 >> Yeah, I gotta get better at just catching the ball, catch everything.
01:51 I can't let nothing hit the ground.
01:53 Those, the ones that hit the ground, I had to save hitting yardage.
01:58 He was a weird kind of punter.
02:00 He can rugby style, but he also go back to the right.
02:02 So I had to change directions, it hit the ground quicker than what I thought.
02:05 But that's on me, I gotta watch more film and
02:08 get better at just knowing my opponent.
