00:03 >> Eric, go ahead.
00:04 >> Go ahead, Eric.
00:05 >> What a huge yardstick contact day, but it's something you've done great all season.
00:10 Is that just physical gifts?
00:12 Is there something you emotionally allowed you to keep going through contact and
00:16 you bust off big ones like that?
00:18 >> Man, it's all about just, for me, it's about consistency and
00:22 just staying consistent with it.
00:24 I feel I have a lot to prove.
00:26 I feel I'm one of the best backs in the nation.
00:28 I just wanna come out here every week and prove that.
00:32 >> Juarez, there's something to be, what is there to be said or
00:35 learned from the amount of explosive plays you guys were able to get both
00:40 with your two long runs in in the passing game?
00:42 Do you feel like this offense, this was the first game the offense was
00:46 running on all cylinders?
00:47 >> Honestly, we definitely left a lot of meat on the bone.
00:51 We could have been a little bit better in my opinion.
00:54 But that's what we're here to do, explosive plays and just making them.
01:00 And for the most part, we did that.
01:03 >> Yeah.
01:05 >> You've gotten some recognition.
01:06 Why do you feel like you have a lot to prove?
01:09 >> I just feel like I'm still underrated.
01:11 And honestly, I like it like that.
01:14 I wanna be the underdog, wanna keep working.
01:17 I'm gonna keep staying down and keep proving myself week by week.
01:22 >> What's the vibes like on the sideline when you guys are scoring points and
01:26 get a bunch of touchdowns like that?
01:28 What's it like for you guys on offense when that's happening?
01:30 >> It's fun, but that's what we expect to do.
01:33 So honestly, we just expect to score points.
01:36 So it's fun at the same time, but we already expect to do it, so.
01:39 >> Juarez, when you look at where you guys rank now,
01:44 considering you face a team that kinda came close to the end there with
01:47 Florida State.
01:47 I mean, where do you guys think you should be on the national scale?
01:51 >> Honestly, we don't pay too much attention to that.
01:54 We take it week by week.
01:56 Boston College played a great game against Florida State, but
02:00 each week is different.
02:01 So we just come out here and do what we gotta do.
02:05 >> Juwan, obviously, before Coach Brown was hired,
02:09 you knew about his offense and his reputation.
02:11 But for you, being a part of it, what has it been like?
02:14 And has it maybe even exceeded your expectations because of some of the plays
02:18 and some of those explosive plays you kinda alluded to?
02:21 >> Yeah, at first, I heard all about Coach Brown passing the ball, but
02:27 I wasn't too worried about that.
02:28 I feel like I could be a threat in the pass game as well.
02:31 So that's something I look forward to, and just keep making plays.
02:36 >> Juwan, the fake kneel down, kinda walk through that play.
02:40 Is that something you guys have been working on for a while?
02:42 >> Yes, sir, we practice it every week.
02:43 So we finally got to unleash it and show our special plays.
02:49 >> Juwan, your two other games against power five teams,
02:53 and kinda uneven performances.
02:55 How important for you guys was it to have a game where you jumped out on early and
02:59 be captivating the whole time?
03:01 >> Just playing the ACC opponent, it's always important to come out with
03:06 a victory.
03:07 So we just keep working and treat everybody,
03:11 respect all opponents, but every game is different.
03:16 >> Your yards for carry dropped a little today, but
03:18 you're still averaging close to ten yards per carry.
03:22 Are you aware that the record is 12.2 and that it's held by Jackie Robinson?
03:27 >> No, sir, I didn't know that.
03:29 >> [LAUGH] >> How much confidence does a game like
03:34 this give you guys with Notre Dame, I'm sorry, NC State on the road next week and
03:38 then Notre Dame two weeks from now?
03:41 >> Sorry, you?
03:42 >> Just how much confidence does a game like this give you with two opponents like
03:45 NC State and Notre Dame kind of coming up over the next two weeks?
03:49 >> Really, it's just that we're gonna keep our confidence but
03:51 stay humble at the same time.
03:53 NC State's gonna be a great opponent.
03:55 Anytime we get those ACC matches, it's gonna be a four quarter battle.
03:59 So it's gonna come out, prepare for them, and it's gonna be a good one.
04:03 That's all.
04:04 >> Jahar, just kinda talk about how having guys like Amari and
04:08 those guys on the outside making those plays.
04:10 How does that impact your running lanes?
04:11 How does that help you to be a better running back?
04:13 >> Man, those guys are explosive.
04:15 So them in the passing game, it's a blessing to have a great O-line,
04:20 first of all, and then guys who can make plays with the deep balls and
04:25 even the short passes can bring a 10-yard hitch to a 50-yard run.
04:30 So it's a blessing to have those receivers.
04:34 >> All right, you're good.
