00:09 >> Yeah, I think it means a lot to a lot of people.
00:11 I think we've been looking for a win here at Soldier Field for a while.
00:15 So it means, basically means the world to everyone else.
00:19 When you're able to play well in the trenches,
00:20 you're able to control a lot of scrimmage, run the ball well and
00:23 stop the other team's run game.
00:25 I thought it was an outstanding team.
00:27 I feel like that's a staple of how I've always tried to play quarterback,
00:30 just getting the ball out of your hands.
00:31 And then just try to combine that with just making really good decisions.
00:37 I think I got away with in college a lot of times getting the ball out of your
00:40 hands, but also forcing some things.
00:42 Just cuz I had that freedom to do so.
00:45 I think at this level, we're valuing the ball, trying to be plus two in that
00:48 section like Coach Blue preaches to us every week.
00:51 So I just kinda had that in the back of my head all week, like hey,
00:54 if it's not there, play the next play.
00:56 End every drop with a kick, which we were able to do.
00:58 >> Yeah, I mean, I've got a cannon.
01:00 >> [LAUGH] >> I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
01:04 I think that there was, we're playing in the Windy City.
01:06 I had one this week that came off my hand a little funny, but
01:09 I never wanna get it twisted.
01:11 Nate's got a very powerful arm as well.
01:14 But I like to think that I've got an extremely strong arm and
01:18 the ball most definitely would have got there.
01:19 But it would so with Nate too, so I had obviously no problem.
01:22 >> Yeah, I feel like I feel really nervous the whole week until we get on the field
01:27 for pregame and then it usually goes away.
01:29 But just like any week, there was some- >> I feel like I dealt with it good.
01:33 I felt like I had the team, my family, kinda really rallied behind me.
01:37 Gave me a lot of support this week, which I think gave me all the confidence in
01:39 the world to go do what we did today.
