00:00 that roadblock last week but how do you feel like it's maybe a motivating factor
00:04 to have a statement made with this sort of win?
00:06 Yeah, I feel like it should just add to our confidence and our nothing else.
00:10 We just need to stay level, stay consistent and get back to work on Monday's game.
00:14 To have a win like this, does it feel good?
00:18 Obviously, it feels good. You guys were 5-1.
00:20 How good does it feel just to kind of get back on the winning track?
00:23 It feels great but it doesn't mean you're out, but we lose every other game.
00:27 So, we just got to stay consistent, get back in next week and do the same thing.
00:30 What was it about the defensive unit that just kind of was on a roll today?
00:34 Same thing that shut them out the whole first half.
00:36 What was wrong for you guys?
00:37 We were all doing our job and we were really clicking and trusting our teammates.
00:41 We knew we'd do bad, but we came to stop.
00:43 Was that a communication thing or what goes into that?
00:46 It's all around. I don't know, it's emotions.
00:49 I'll do both, but we just got to stay level-headed.
00:53 The fact that you're putting your defense on the map this season,
00:57 how does that feel to consistently get your A-K's?
01:00 It feels great. I've been waiting for this moment my whole life.
01:03 I've been dreaming about this all day.
01:05 It feels great getting wins and doing my thing along with my teammates.
01:09 Especially when the team gets a win, it's even better.
01:14 To see some of the legends come back to perform a performance like that,
01:17 was that an extra motivator too?
01:19 Yeah, it was great to see everybody coming back.
01:22 We love to put a show on for them and get a win for them in their stadium.
01:27 Appreciate you, man. Thanks so much.
01:29 Having this kind of performance after the game against Texas,
01:33 how big of a boost is this for the morale around the team
01:36 and for trying to make that bowl eligibility push?
01:39 I feel like this is adding to our confidence.
01:42 Can you repeat the question?
01:46 Oh, just the boost of confidence for trying to get bowl eligibility and moving forward.
01:50 Yeah, we just need to stay solid, stay doing our jobs,
01:53 keep getting wins, and let them stack on top of each other.
01:56 Yeah, for sure.
01:58 There were a lot of different guys that stepped up on the defense today.
02:01 How big was it to have so many different options?
02:05 It's great to have a bunch of playmakers,
02:07 but when everybody's doing their job, it's even better.
02:09 Awesome. Thank you.
