USC Trojans Coach Lincoln Riley, Quarterback Jayden Maiava, and Defensive Tackle Jamaal Jarrett discusses how the Trojans face the adversity of game delays
00:00How do you go about nutrition and fueling after a three-hour delay or during a three-hour delay?
00:05Yeah, it's unique just because the way the game time hit,
00:08it was like not quite early enough to eat a full breakfast,
00:11but then we had a pre-game meal at like 11, 15, 11, 30.
00:16Then you get down here and you're thinking it's not going to be a delay.
00:19Just look at the weather and all of a sudden it gets worse.
00:21And good thing Rachel Suba and our team were prepared.
00:24They were prepared.
00:24I mean, it looked like a damn grocery store in there.
00:28So we – listen, this game could just be kicking off
00:31and we'd all be fat and happy and ready to go.
00:34Coach, you got the knockout blow from Bishop Fitzgerald in the fourth quarter.
00:38How happy were you to get that knockout blow?
00:40Was there any frustration?
00:43You just play the game.
00:44You know, like if there was frustration that one didn't come sooner,
00:47then we didn't listen to the way that we were coached.
00:49So you just play the game.
00:51You know, it's – again, it's a game.
00:53Unique things are going to happen.
00:55Like I said, we had a few penalties that I know, again, we know we got to do better.
01:00Had two sideline interference ones.
01:03You know, one that caused me to screw up not going for two when we were up,
01:07I think, 20 at the time.
01:09So they're 19 at the time.
01:10So, yeah, we all had some errors.
01:13We all got to get better.
01:14But you just got to keep playing.
01:15That's just the nature of the road.
01:16Like it's just – it's just part of it.
01:19And you got to withstand it.
01:20And I thought our guys did not flinch.
01:21For Jaha and Jaden, what was that delay like for you guys?
01:25What were you doing during that whole time?
01:27Shoot, we kind of – I mean, we had no expectations coming in here,
01:29but we were ready for everything.
01:30So, like Coach said, Coach and Rachel Subo and the staff just did such a great job
01:37preparing us, getting us ready to go out there and flare our butts off.
01:41Good job.
01:41Jaha.
01:41Well, we – as a team, we practice a lot of sudden change situations
01:46and whenever it gets thrown at us, we're ready to attack it.
01:48So whatever happens, we just have to assess it, you know, next play type of mentality.
01:52So, we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to – we're going to
