00:00 I see my trust in my target a few times.
00:02 So maybe the future is beyond right here.
00:06 >> Is there a moment in the spring or fall where you discussed
00:11 something about the season?
00:14 >> Really when Nick and Julian kind of decided they weren't gonna get reps,
00:19 forget exactly the reason why in the spring.
00:23 And then Parnell kind of stepped up into that role right away.
00:27 And I did a really good job and I knew right kind of from that first day,
00:31 just the way he carried himself, the way he ran his routes,
00:35 the way he talked and saw the game, he's gonna be.
00:39 >> If everybody stopped, what's your luck going to be?
00:43 >> Yeah, Jermaine is probably one of the most competitive kids on the team.
00:47 And when he got here, it didn't matter if he was going against Marvin or
00:51 a freshman or a senior, he was gonna bring the same exact intensity,
00:54 the same exact focus to every single rep.
00:57 And that was really the first time I saw a young DB.
00:59 It kind of reminded me of Denzel's freshman year when he started.
01:03 He kind of, his eyes lit up at the opportunity to play against good
01:06 competition.
01:07 >> If you were coach,
01:08 wouldn't that be what you'd want to see in a cornerback at a get go?
01:11 >> 100%.
01:13 Yeah, I mean, I think cornerback, you have to be a little bit crazy to play.
01:17 You're knowing that you're on an island one on one with the best athletes on
01:20 the world, and it's your job to lock them down.
01:22 That's tough to do.
01:24 And he plays with a bunch of confidence, plays a bunch of energy.
01:26 So he's gonna be really good.
01:28 >> What do you see from Wisconsin's defense?
01:30 You may have answered this earlier, but what just jumps out at you
01:33 about the way they play?
01:34 >> Yeah, I think Coach Fickle's got them playing really well.
01:37 And obviously, he has a great track record regardless of where he's been.
01:39 There's been a good defense there.
01:41 And they're super well coached.
01:42 You can see that on film.
01:44 And they have a good scheme on top of that, and they play hard.
01:47 That's the biggest thing.
01:47 Those guys bring it every single play, and that's noticeable in film.
01:51 And so we know it's gonna be a big test going out there on Saturday, 7.30,
01:55 a tough environment against a tough defense.
01:57 So we know we've got our hands full.
