00:00 >> You're part of a trivia question this week.
00:02 There are 10 guys that played in that 2019 game.
00:06 >> [LAUGH] >> One guy that switched chips, and
00:09 then there's only one Trojan left.
00:11 >> Yeah. >> Max Williams.
00:13 >> Yeah. >> He started that game as a freshman,
00:14 I think. >> Yeah, number 24 at the time.
00:16 >> Yeah, kind of bizarre, all that turnover.
00:19 I mean, I know it's transfer portal time, and
00:22 both programs have had new coaches since then.
00:24 >> Yeah. >> Washington, in fact,
00:25 two coaches since then.
00:27 But you're kind of surprised it's only ten of you guys left that played in that game?
00:32 >> Yeah, me and Max Williams, we talk every now and then.
00:37 And he texted me, I think it was right after the game, the Stanford game.
00:41 He texted me, he was like, so you have to call your brother.
00:43 And I said, man, I can't wait.
00:44 So it actually is kind of crazy.
00:46 I remember having flashbacks when I first got here about, man,
00:50 I remember last time I was in the stadium.
00:52 And now being on the other side, it's crazy how life works.
00:56 Life is a crazy thing, how it all comes back around in full circle.
00:58 So I'm excited.
01:00 >> So strange moment for you to go play your former team?
01:03 >> It's a little strange.
01:06 I'm not gonna sit here and say I could treat it like every other game.
01:09 But I'm gonna try and treat it like every other game.
01:11 But at the end of the day, it's gonna come down to who can execute.
01:15 And at the end of the day, I gotta do my part in helping this team be successful.
01:18 >> And the biggest difference between being at SC last year and
01:21 in Washington this year is, I think I asked you this in the spring.
01:24 Is the music different that they play?
01:26 Or I mean, is there a different vibe at Washington?
01:28 But what would you say now that you've been here quite a while?
01:31 >> I'll probably say the biggest thing that I've noticed,
01:33 like the difference is probably the home field.
01:37 Like when it's home games, when we beat Oregon, seeing fans rush the field,
01:41 that was a surreal moment for me.
01:43 I've never experienced that in my life.
01:45 At least being on the winning side, I've never experienced that in my life,
01:47 like fans rushing the field and stuff.
01:48 So Husky Nation is tremendous, man.
01:53 I'm happy to be here.
01:55 >> SC is downtown LA.
01:56 >> Yeah, yeah.
01:57 >> This is more than anybody.
