He said Wednesday morning after practice that the last time he had three takeaways in a single game was in middle school.
Maybe his most interesting comment came when he was asked which of his plays Saturday stood out as his best play.
"The bat-down at the end of the game. I could have (gone) up and gotten another, but I just wanted to secure a victory for this team. I wasn't worried about personal stats."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
That the bat-down was the play that gave him the most pride was nearly as impressive as the plays themselves. His first INT was right near the goal-line, and prevented a possible touchdown pass. His second INT came when he ripped the ball out of a SFA receiver's hands. His fumble was instrumental in the late-game rally that led to the SMU victory. But he's most proud of a play on which he didn't come up with the ball.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I probably would have gone for the interception. Yes, the bat-down on the last play was the right thing to do, but after two interceptions and three takeaways, that would have been hard to resist.
