00:00 In a game like this when the margins are so small,
00:03 turnovers can be the difference.
00:05 You're a guy who's had multiple interceptions this year.
00:08 What goes into that?
00:09 Is there a randomness to it or is there a playmaking aspect to it?
00:13 Talk me through coming up with those interceptions and those big plays.
00:18 Taking care of your main responsibility,
00:21 being in the spots that you're supposed to be in,
00:23 executing the game plan,
00:25 not trying to do anybody else a job,
00:27 doing your 111th of defense,
00:29 and just making the plays that come to you.
00:32 How confident are you in the guys in front of you,
00:34 your linebackers, defensive line, to get some pressure on?
00:37 A guy like Jalen Milrow, are you looking forward to that matchup?
00:40 I'm super confident.
00:42 On our front seven, we have a stop D line,
00:46 we have a great linebacker on,
00:47 we have a great DB,
00:48 so like I said, if everyone just does their job,
00:51 we know that they're going to make plays,
00:53 so we're going to make plays as well,
00:55 so it's going to depend on who's going to make the most plays,
00:57 and when those plays are needed,
00:59 who's going to be the most fundamentalist,
01:01 most technicalist group on the field.
01:04 What stands out when you see Alabama's receivers on film in some of those matchups?
01:09 Speed.
01:11 They have guys who can track the ball very well down the field,
01:14 but I feel like every single week we've been prepared
01:17 through the preparation of our own receivers in practice,
01:20 and then when we face them,
01:23 some teams might not have the same caliber of receivers,
01:25 but some people do make the plays that have challenges along the way,
01:29 so I definitely feel like we've been prepared for this matchup.
01:32 Charles Wilson had a pretty famous interception in 1997 in this game.
01:35 Have you thought about what that kind of play for yourself in this game would be like,
01:40 or anything like that?
01:41 I definitely visualize myself making plays,
01:44 so I'm not going out there Monday looking to do too much, do too extra.
01:50 I'm going to be who I've been.
01:51 I'm going to lead how I've played,
01:53 and I'm going to play how I've played,
01:55 and I'm going to make plays that come my way.
01:57 Thanks, Mike.
