00:00Take us through what is going through your mind when you are moving left, right, forward, up.

00:05That's a long time before you throw a football in the red zone.

00:09Yeah, I think I missed Hunter probably in the first second or two in the back end zone on the end line.

00:14So probably could have had that play over a lot faster.

00:17That wouldn't have been cool though.

00:19But yeah, they dropped cover two down there and they dropped the popper out too.

00:22So they really dropped eight and rushed three.

00:25So just trying to find a way to keep the play alive.

00:27You know, once I missed Hunter in the back and then Hunter ended up stepping out of bounds.

00:30So it was good for him.

00:31You know, he had the point waved to me not to throw to anyone at one point.

00:36So just trying to stay alive.

00:37I think Monterey did a nice job of playing that receiver.

00:39And credit to those guys up front for continuing to fight through the play.

00:43And those guys and the receivers and running backs just trying to find a way to make a play.

00:47The longer it goes, are you reaching oh crap status?

00:50Or do you feel like, well, they're going to let somebody open up sooner or later?

00:53Yeah, I think it's more of a, hey, somebody's going to pop open here soon.

00:55You know, I think you just got to fade some defenders sometimes.

00:58And Monterey made a nice play.

00:59Yeah, that was a tremendous play.

01:02I mean, it's really going to be one of those ones that people talk about all year.

01:04I know it was a play that happened in a loss.

01:07But in terms of your, you know, three starts that you made so far,

01:10does that one kind of stand out?

01:11Is that, I mean, that was a big moment.

01:13Zeros on the clock like that, that had to feel good.

01:15Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, sitting at the overtime and, you know,

01:18getting those guys down there for, you know, a big drive to extend the game was huge.

01:22But obviously at the end of the day, we didn't win the football game.

01:24And that's the disappointing factor.

01:26Did you want to go for two there?

01:27Were you ready to go for two there?

01:29I was just trying to catch my breath.

01:30I think it was tough.

01:31So much emotion and, you know, so much energy that we brought on that long drive.

01:35You know, I think we only started at the 50.

01:37It was like 11 or 12 plays.

01:39So I was just, you know, so tired and exhausted.

01:41I think I ran off to the sideline right after that.

01:44So I think it's, in hindsight, it's easy to look back and say, you know, after a loss.

01:48But I think we made the right decision.

01:50Was there debate?

01:51Was there guys on the sideline saying, come on, let's go for two, let's do it,

01:53and Mayo shut it down, or what?

01:54I don't remember anything like that.

01:56I think in that scenario, I think we played for overtime.

02:00Our defense would be on the sideline, you know.

02:02So, you know, whatever the coaches decide, I think, looking back, I think I would do the same thing.

02:07So I think it's a hindsight either way you look at it.

02:10If we go for it and we don't win, then everybody's like, what are we doing?

02:12So I think I was so exhausted just getting to the sideline, trying to catch my breath.
