00:00 >> Yeah, I mean, we had a couple things on that play.
00:02 They took away our running back swing play and
00:04 we actually had a draw play called a quarterback draw play called on that.
00:08 And we are aligned did a really good job.
00:10 I mean, the hole was wide open.
00:12 So I just try to make a couple guys miss and
00:14 you start to get in the end zone shot to make the play to end the game.
00:17 Yeah, I mean, legacy definitely means a lot to me.
00:20 I worry more about it as a team, how we're gonna be remembered as a team.
00:24 I think like I said, we had so many times in this game and we could just quit.
00:29 We faced a lot of adversity in this game and I think this team just kept fighting
00:33 back and just kept battling back and we found a way to win at the end.
00:36 So I think that just shows the type of team that we are.
00:38 So that's really just what we talked about.
00:41 We just want to be remembered as a team that's gonna fight all four quarters and
00:44 just try to win a lot of football games and that's what we did today.
00:47 Yeah, I mean, it definitely means something to me.
00:49 I just put a lot of time and put a lot of work into my craft and
00:53 trying to be a really good player.
00:54 So I mean, really, I'm just thankful.
00:56 I'm thankful that God led me to this university and
00:58 blessed me with the people I have around me and
01:00 just blessed me with the ability to go out there and play the game that I love.
01:03 So I'm really just thankful, blessed and all the glory goes to God.
01:06 But yeah, it definitely feels pretty good just to accomplish things like that.

01:12 I don't think we ever faced a deficit like this in high school.
01:15 I can't remember.
01:15 So yeah, it's probably one of the best comebacks I've been a part of.
01:19 Just the way we kept fighting on both sides of the ball.
01:22 Defense gave us some key stops there at the end and
01:24 just allowed us to go down and take the lead.
01:25 So I'm definitely just proud of the way we kept fighting today and
01:28 we're able to come all the way back.
01:30 No, there's no one in particular I look at.
01:32 I just try to be the best player I can be.
01:34 I don't try to worry about what anyone else is doing.
01:36 I don't worry about what any other quarterback is doing.
01:38 Across the country, I just try to put the work in every single day and
01:42 try to be the best player I can for this team.
