Transcript

00:00a good chance to win Emerson here.

00:03Bryce, have you had a minute to reflect on just the season?

00:07Be an unbelievable 13 and 0, you're at the Rose Bowl,

00:11you're at the granddaddy of them all, you're from Eugene.

00:15Have you had a minute to just like, wow, soak this up?

00:19I have, I've definitely done better with that throughout my career with smelling

00:23the roses as I'm sitting up here, spending time with teammates.

00:27It's never been something I've been very good at.

00:30I always kind of had my head down and try to keep working, which I am.

00:33I've never done working, once a walk, I always walk, that's my mindset.

00:37But it's definitely a blessing that we're here,

00:40I'm enjoying it with all my teammates and it'll be even better once we win Emerson.

00:44All right, what was your reaction when Dan gave you the baseball bat before

00:48the Washington game?

00:50That one fired me up, man.

00:51It was a little unexpected, but for good reason, I was pumped that he did that.

00:56I think it definitely set the tone for the game.

00:58What all of those Monday meetings where you had the jump around week,

01:02you had Gladiator before the Michigan game.

01:05Are you ever surprised at some of the stuff he comes up with for you guys?

01:09I am, I'm surprised with how creative he is,

01:11because we have a lot of weeks in football and

01:14it seems like every theme of the week is spot on.

01:17So I don't know, he must do a lot of thinking before the season to come up with

01:19these ideas, but I love it.

01:22I love that we have a team day every week and it's been great.

01:25And to have them, I like the Wisconsin game really comes to mind,

01:28because I know you're on defense, but you're facing fourth to nine and

01:33you immediately convert that play, turn the fourth quarter around.

01:37What's it kind of like to just have confidence that those moments are gonna

01:40be key for what you're gonna be facing on Saturday or whenever you're playing?

01:44Yeah, I think it just comes down to preparation.

01:46And we got some hell of a players on both sides of the ball that can just

01:50make big plays in big spots.

01:52Right there, Dylan, to Terrence for two big players in a big spot.

01:57Credit to coach for getting us ready earlier in the week with that song.

02:02And just having a plan before it happened, like we knew what we were gonna do

02:05regardless if we were up by 40 or down by 40, we would have done the same thing.

02:08Five minutes remaining on the clock, five minutes remaining on the clock.

02:12Credit to all the guys in the room that just trust their process and

02:15know what to do in those big spots.

02:17Yeah.

02:18Yeah.
