You guys are 5-0, first time since 2015.
I mean, how does that happen?
A lot of dedication, a lot of work, and just a lot of work.
So, you know, our team and our coaching staff trains and works very hard.
You know, it's been countless hours that we've worked so hard for this moment.
You know, last year they beat us this time.
Again, last year.
And, you know, we came to this game hot.
You know, we started off slow.
But, you know, we're always going to make a way.
You know, I have a great coaching staff and a great O-line.
And just all of this is for my teammates and my coaching staff.
I just get the ball to my players in space and I get time for my O-line, you know.
This is all them, not me.
So, as you mentioned there, it was 14-0 pretty quick.
And 45-14 the rest of the way.
I mean, how did you guys respond?
You want me to get it?
Yeah, you got it.
So, we started off slow.
And we were just talking.
We were just like, we've got to score, we've got to score.
We've got to get the momentum back to get back in this ballgame.
And we knew that we were the better team coming in here.
But our attitude, we didn't have the right mindset coming into this game.
So, we changed the mindset.
We started getting momentum.
We started clicking on offense like we usually do.
And defense got us a few stops.
We just came back and did what we do and make plays.
And even after that, you guys kind of got locked into it back and forth.
And it had to be last one standing.
So, I mean, what was the mentality knowing that you had to go out there and score?
Never back down from a fight.
We're never going to back down on nobody.
We'll play the number one team in the nation.
We're still never going to back down.
That's just the same team as it is.
We're going to fight our hardest every play.
And we're never going to give up.
That's one thing about it.
We ain't never going to give up.
Again, we worked very hard for this.
This doesn't come easy.
This comes with hours.
No sleep, anything.
This comes with work and a work ethic that we all have.
And we just grinded the whole time.
And this is not a punishment.
What is your approach to that?
Prove them wrong.
Add fuel to the fire, for sure.
They all proved us wrong at the beginning of the season.
Coach Woody lets us know that.
And it just fires us up, gives us fuel to the fire, like he says.
As soon as we see him, as soon as they doubted us, they doubted us every year.
But we knew that St. Martin would come out here and make plays.
It's a different St. Martin.
We've got a great head coach.
Coach Woody changed the whole program around.
He's a great coach.
He changed us all.
That's what we needed, was a coach like him.
Without him, I don't know what we would have done.
He's done a lot of great things for this program.
And even changed my perspective on some things, too.
I really respect him a lot.
What are the steps you guys have to take to continue to get back to the postseason?
Keep getting better.
Keep doing great.
Doing good practices.
Capitalizing on every moment we get.
And this year, it don't come easy.
You can slip up one play, the whole playoff is over with.
Wait, what did you say?
My bad.
What are the next steps you guys have to take?
We've got to keep our strong work ethic that we've got.
We've got to keep making plays.
Every play is not going to be a deep shot.
Every play is not going to be a home run ball.
This game opened our eyes up that we've got to go drive by drive.
Defense has got to get stops.
If we all do this as a team and we all combine together
and not play as one or not play individuals like it used to be,
we're going to be just fine.
Lastly, what is it?
How fun is it?
It's definitely a special moment.
It's a blessing.
A lot of people don't even get to play football
and not only play it with their brother and not only my twin.
It's definitely a blessing for sure.
It's definitely a blessing to play with my brother.
That's an advantage other teams don't got.
On that touchdown over there, me and Dawson think the same thing.
Changed the route.
He's wide open.
He just makes plays.
I just get the ball to him.
That's it.
It's just special.
I'm blessed.
All right, fellas.
Appreciate you.
