USC Trojans Offensive Lineman Justin Tauanuu Discusses How He Is More Prepared Now Than When He Got To USC

Transcript

00:00Where are you more prepared than you were when you first got here last year?

00:04Last year, I wasn't really afraid because I just got here.

00:08But then as the season went on, I started studying a lot.

00:13I study a lot, try to know my plays.

00:16So as if Elijah ever got hurt, I would just be ready.

00:21I won't be nervous to make a mistake.

00:25How is Tobias pushing you and how are you pushing Tobias?

00:29We push each other a lot, all lockers are right there, right next to each other in the locker room.

00:34So we always talk about how our practice went.

00:37We always look at each other to see how we can do better.

00:40Say Tobias wins a rep, I'll tell him how he did good and what he can do better, and vice versa.

00:49He can tell me the same thing.

00:52When you got on the field, what was the most surprising reality for you of being in a speed game?

00:58What was surprising practice was harder than the game.

01:02Like I wasn't like as tired as I was during practice.

01:05Like during practice, I always try to practice hard, like really hard.

01:10So like if I ever got in the game, like the bowl game, I'll be ready.

01:13So like you said, I was confused.

01:16I was wondering if I've only got in the game for you.

01:17I did not.

01:18I guess you were worried.

01:19I was wondering if I was wondering how my practice went.

01:21I guess we have to catch up with you.

01:22I guess we have to call it to you.

01:23I guess what?

01:24I guess I was like, anyway?

01:25I guess that I'm not going to be going to happen.

01:26I guess it's not going to happen?

01:27I guess I'm not going to be going to happen.
