00:00 I think preparing is the main thing. I think you got to be extremely ready for
00:03 for Saturdays and you know you got to be expecting certain things before they
00:08 happen and then you got to react to the things that you know maybe you didn't
00:12 plan for but I think the best quarterbacks prepare the best. I think
00:17 they're mentally and physically ready for the game and then you know their
00:20 reactions to what happens during the game is kind of what makes them unique
00:25 and I think if you look at all the great quarterbacks they're always ready for
00:30 the moment they always prepare and then their reaction you know they take over
00:34 and they just you know their natural instincts you know have a way during the
00:40 game to that which kind of puts them over the edge.
00:42 At this point in your career, there's not a lot you haven't seen. You go against a team in Liberty that leads the nation in interceptions, takeaways. What goes through your mind in terms of being able to dissect what you're going to do on the play?
00:52 Well it goes back to the same thing. We've repped our plays, we've
00:59 repped our scheme and we just got to go out there and be dialed in and
01:04 make sure that we execute at a high level, that we're efficient, we
01:09 take care of the football, we're good on first and second down and don't
01:14 give them chances to create turnovers and create explosive plays
01:18 and you know we feel strong that if we run the ball and you know set a standard
01:25 early and get the chains moving then you know those will create the explosive
01:29 plays as we go and we just got to be really efficient.
01:32 So the guys don't overlook this considering everybody all the talk and all the mis-says about the post differential and all that jazz?
01:39 Yeah I don't, me specifically, I couldn't even tell you what the differential is and I couldn't even tell you what people are saying
01:47 and I know that both teams are going to be here to win and both
01:53 teams are going to play really hard and we both got something to
01:57 prove and both are playing for something big and so it's not going to be
02:02 something that we overlook and we know Liberty is a good football
02:06 team and they had a really good season but it's just going to come
02:10 down to who plays harder and who wants it more, who's willing to do more at the end of the day.
