Oregon ducks long snapper Luke Basso discusses his connection with the kickers and the holders

Transcript

00:00How is your connection right now with the holders and the kickers?

00:08How have you tried to maybe grow that?

00:09I imagine you probably did some stuff over the summer on your own, snapping, training,

00:14but how has your connection kind of grown throughout the offseason with those guys?

00:17Yeah, it's gotten a lot better.

00:19Throughout the entire summer, we'll go out to Autzen and we'll do snap hold kicks.

00:23I mean, Ferg just got here from Boise State, so we've gotten him into the loop.

00:26I've been just working with Ross, like I've had him as my holder for the last few years,

00:31so the connection is very strong and the unit feels very cohesive right now.

00:35I know the punts in the spring game weren't necessarily up to your guys' standard.

00:40I think you've got a chance to kind of look back and reflect on that.

00:43Just kind of what were some of the areas that you felt like you just kind of led to some of those wild punts

00:49that maybe were a little uncharacteristic of what maybe you saw in spring practice?

00:53That's just part of the game.

00:54I mean, you're going to have bad days and you're going to have great days.

00:57I've had bad snaps.

00:58I've had good snaps.

00:59And part of the spring game is just getting a lot of the rust off.

01:03And, you know, that's something that we worked on all summer, so we're ready for the season.
