Transcript
00:00 >> Well, the weekend you caught your USC pass and
00:02 then sample both had big time performances.
00:05 So it's like past and present tight ends were really doing it for Washington.
00:09 I didn't ask you, I didn't have a chance to ask you about the USC catch.
00:13 Could you just replay that briefly?
00:15 It was outstanding.
00:16 >> Yeah, we were down there just right after we got the crazy call with Troy
00:22 running down the field with his helmet off trying to kill people.
00:26 And it was 1318, the call comes in from the sideline.
00:30 It's a play that we've been practicing for the past few weeks.
00:33 I saw the coverage and the ball snaps.
00:37 I'm running my route and I kind of see Mike getting some trouble back there.
00:40 He's breaking the pocket.
00:41 So I just went into scramble mode, just what we practice out here.
00:45 And I've never waved anyone down before or anything like that.
00:49 But I was like, I didn't feel or see anybody behind me.
00:53 So I was like, Mike, you throw it, throw it.
00:57 And as I'm looking down, I saw JP, Rome and me all.
01:01 So I was like, I didn't know if he was throwing it to one of them.
01:03 And then last second I saw it go right over Rome's head.
01:06 I saw it's me, sucked in and just held on for dear life.
01:10 18 was trying to get that thing out of there.
01:12 But yeah, it's definitely a play that I'll never forget for the rest of my life.
01:16 >> I couldn't tell what was better, the catch or the throw.
01:18 >> They were both, and watching it back too,
01:20 I didn't realize that as Mike was throwing it, he was getting hit out of bounds too.
01:25 So you kind of had to eat a little bit of a hit.
01:27 But yeah, I know, this is a play that I'll never forget for the rest of my life.
