Nathaniel Watson on Playing for Miss. State Interim Coach Greg Knox
Transcript
00:00 Coach Knox made the comment last week that yeah, everybody wants to play for the name
00:02 on the back of the jersey, play for the school, play for the program, but he said also go
00:07 out there and play for yourself.
00:08 Play for the name there, for yourself, for your own platform and make a statement for
00:12 the future of whatever it is.
00:13 Yeah, I mean, there's a lot coming from him when he said that, you know, you don't want
00:19 this game to be selfish, but like he said, you know, play for your platform and you want
00:24 to leave a legacy when you, like all the seniors, I know all the seniors we talked about and
00:27 stuff, we're going to leave a legacy here at Mississippi State.
00:30 Past seniors didn't did it, seniors before that didn't did it, so we just look forward
00:33 to going out there and completing our legacy.
00:35 Coach Knox was talking about the term, you know, seatbelt and kind of how he's been implementing
00:39 that, I guess.
00:40 How has he kind of gotten you guys to buy into your go-heavy, seatbelt, some of the
00:43 terms that he's used to kind of build a mentality these last two games?
00:46 Yeah, I don't know too much about that seatbelt stuff, that's him and Jet.
00:49 Him and Jet have been going back and forth and practicing with the seatbelt stuff.
00:52 I don't know too much about that, but the go-heavy, that plays a lot with me just because
00:57 you know, you got a lot of adversity going on and with the coaching, with the coaching
01:02 changing and stuff, there was a lot of adversity going on and just having that, when he came
01:05 in and played that video for us on Monday, it just, I think it just brought the team
01:09 together and just helped out a lot.
01:11 What did you think of Jet when he pitched it back on that play there?
01:14 I thought he fumbled.
01:15 I didn't even know until after the game he pitched it back, so I thought he had fumbled
01:18 and Speedy just picked it up, but yeah, that was a crazy play though.
01:22 With him, he's him for sure for doing that, that's something I would never put up.
01:26 Would you have thought of doing something like that?
01:27 No, I wouldn't.
01:28 I would just have went down with the ball.
