00:00 >> Some more for the offseason.
00:02 When you got hurt, everybody knows that, you got hurt in prep for the bowl prep.
00:07 You had some surgery.
00:10 How long is it gonna take you to get back to good health?
00:15 >> That timeline's not really up there right now.
00:18 Just trying to tag it day by day and take it step by step and
00:22 be back when I'm able to be back and healthy enough to be back.
00:25 But so I'm really not trying to put a timeline on it and the doctors aren't either.
00:29 I'm just trying to really take it step by step and get back when I can.
00:32 >> And I think you said you were doing this on a drill or
00:34 something rather than a scrimmage type thing?
00:38 >> Yeah, just normal practice stuff.
00:40 Just stuff happens in football and it's just one of those kind of crazy, crazy things.
00:47 >> With that said, I mean, you were having a pretty good freshman year.
00:50 Not a lot of the freshmen were playing much other than getting their four games and
00:54 sitting down.
00:55 But you were put into the mix and counted on heavily.
00:58 How disappointed are you that this happened,
01:00 especially in front of a national championship game?
01:02 >> Yeah, it's unfortunate that it happened just in general,
01:05 especially this time.
01:06 I'd love to play in the playoffs, but it is what it is.
01:10 I know the guys around me are gonna have a great, great game and
01:12 they've been playing great.
01:14 They have all the support from me and so it sucks, but I'm happy the guys are here
01:20 and we're still here and I get to be a part of it, so.
