00:00 >> [INAUDIBLE] >> Going to the college football playoff,

00:03 how's that feel?

00:04 >> It's amazing, it's amazing.

00:05 It's something that I dreamed of, and

00:07 the reason that I committed to this university.

00:10 So I'm gonna go check the receipt that's in my commitment signing little post,

00:14 and I especially wanna recommit it too.

00:17 So I'm striving towards greatness right now.

00:19 >> I remember a year ago when you played against Texas,

00:22 it kind of felt like a road game.

00:25 >> Yeah. >> Do you expect that the football

00:27 game is gonna be a road game for you?

00:30 >> Yeah, I do actually, I do.

00:31 >> Road for president, road for president.

00:32 >> I think that it will be similar to that just cuz it's so

00:35 close to where they're stationed at, right?

00:37 And Texas has a lot of fans down south, so definitely it'll be a way game.

00:42 But that's okay with us, we're fine with having that hostile environment,

00:45 just give us more fuel for the fire.

00:47 >> Could you talk about your ride home from Tucson, Arizona,

00:49 who drove you and now you have to have to go all the way back?

00:52 >> Yeah, as the story is unfolding, yeah,

00:56 after that hit on the onside kick, I got injured on that play.

01:01 And I had to drive home.

01:02 My mom, Darren from the training staff and

01:06 Mike from the training staff all helped me drive home.

01:11 They all kind of did a leg of the 23 hour drive, I think it was,

01:15 ended up totally being so.

01:16 It was over a couple days, made a stop at home in Vegas for like two hours.

01:20 Got my hair braided real quick cuz I had to get the quick turnaround for

01:24 the next game.

01:25 Cuz Oregon was coming up after that, so yeah, they did a three leg, so

01:30 shout out to mom, Mike and Darren, they all helped me out get home.
