00:03 >> Sonny Denzel said the reality of not playing in the CFP kind of took a while
00:07 for you to set in for him.
00:09 What was that like for you the last couple of weeks?
00:12 >> The day after the game I came in here and watched the game.
00:15 It hurts to see some plays where you wish you could have them back, but
00:19 you gotta move past and look forward to the next task at hand.
00:22 And that's playing Missouri, winning that game.
00:24 >> What have you seen from Missouri's offense so far?
00:28 >> They got some really good players.
00:29 The running back's a really good player.
00:31 The receiver's a good player.
00:32 Quarterback makes some plays.
00:33 He extends plays.
00:34 He can run the ball.
00:36 So I mean, their offense is well-rounded.
00:38 They can do it all.
00:39 >> Denzel said you play a lot of 10, a lot of personnel.
00:41 What does that mean for you?
00:44 >> Just a lot of receivers on the field.
00:46 Chances for explosive plays, receivers off the backfield, things like that.
00:48 So just gotta keep studying them.
00:52 >> Sonny, how have you seen Devin assert himself?
00:54 >> I think the way it is here at Hollis, the next guy's gotta step up.
01:01 So I feel like he stepped up, he's shown leadership.
01:03 Obviously, he's here for a reason.
01:06 He's capable.
01:07 >> Sonny, in the transfer portal era, we're all getting used to seeing so
01:13 many guys moving around.
01:15 And of course, you have the best for your teammates.
01:16 But is it hard to stay positive just seeing this movement, or
01:20 is it just kind of, it's where we're at now?
01:22 >> I mean, I don't think it's hard to stay positive.
01:24 Like you said, I think transfer portals changed the game a little bit.
01:28 I think that's just where we're at right now.
01:30 And yeah, I want the best thing for all my teammates.
01:33 Anybody who decides to leave, they feel like that's the best thing for them.
01:35 They should do the best thing for themselves.
01:37 >> How hard was it, or
01:38 have you been able to make the switch from the missioning game to now preparing?
01:43 >> It was tough.
01:45 That's the game, so that's the one you gotta win, and we didn't.
01:47 So it was tough getting over that.
01:49 You gotta learn from it, figure out the mistakes, and
01:52 then you can focus on the next task at hand.
01:55 >> What do you feel like you learned from that game specifically?
02:00 >> I think that game just comes down to a few plays.
02:02 There's certain plays that kind of just change the game.
02:05 If you just take a different angle, or if you would have had your eyes here,
02:08 things like that.
02:09 So all those little things matter.
02:11 >> Sonny, you guys, you give up the big, big plays and stuff.
02:19 What do you think was lacking in that game that y'all maybe even sense in the rest?
02:23 >> I mean, those drives had to be killing you a little bit.
02:28 >> I mean, you said we didn't give up the big, big plays.
02:31 I think there's some plays we could have prevented,
02:33 plays like the double pass, things like that.
02:35 Or if you're on the edge, keep the edge.
02:39 There's just so many little things.
02:43 There's so many things you can point out and pinpoint.
02:45 I know, at least myself, I know other guys probably like this too.
02:49 You just feel like there's so much you could have done different.
02:51 >> Yeah. >> And you feel like you could have
02:52 changed the game.
02:53 So it's just tough.
