Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Blow out victory in the season opener. What's on your
checklist in terms of looking at what the offense was
able to accomplish and things that you want to clean
up before next week against Syracuse.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Oh. Yeah, we had a rough start, but we started
to build some momentum and then we started rolling. We
showed what we can do. We just need to clean
up some things and we'll have a good week of
practice getting ready for Syracuse.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Fun is it scoring your first career touchdown on your
home turf?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, it felt great. It's been a long time coming,
so it just felt great. You know, thanks to the
old line for picking me up and really carrying me
into the end zone.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Do you know who it was that specifically led the way?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I heard it was Tamorris Walker, so shout out to him,
and I felt him picked me up. My legs were
off the ground and he just carried me in there.
So shout out to him.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Family and attendance. How many people come out to catch
these games.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
My mom and dad were here today, Yeah, so it
was good to see them.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, punt returned responsibilities. Obviously some of those punts weren't returnable.
But what did you see in the one that you
were able to break off twenty yards.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, I mean I just caught it. I saw a
little bit of a lane and I cut back and
took the lane. But yeah, the first few punts weren't fieldable,
but it was just good to be out there, feel
comfortable out there, got some good blocks for my teammates.
So yeah, acton.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Harper joins us here on the post game show and
last one. You know, we know the depth that's brewing
in all these different positions. It feels like there is
a lot of depth in the wide receiver room.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, No, we have a lot of depth. We're a
very like old group. We have a lot of experience,
but we're all just pushing each other to get better.
We all support each other, and so it's a really
good wide receiver room.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Congrats on the win. We'll catch you next week. It's Heyracuse,
all right, Thank you, Bob. Back to you.
