00:00Right here, James.

00:05You've seen me throughout the season,

00:07we got some huge plays on third downs,

00:09on those out rounds in particular from one sideline to the other.

00:13Today, a couple across the middle, obviously the touchdown, but

00:15on a fourth down earlier on, did you guys come into the game thinking that

00:20the middle would be vulnerable to them, that you guys could do some damage?

00:23Just, yeah, we'll just find the holes in the defense and

00:26just seeing how the game flow and things like that.

00:28We've seen that they're leaving the middle open, so we just had to attack and

00:32they didn't want to stop it, so we just do what we do on offense.

00:36Eric?

00:37What's this last month been like for you?

01:05Dan was saying, just like this game isn't about a lack of emotion,

01:09it's about controlling emotion.

01:10As someone just had to learn why there's so much emotion in this game,

01:14what was that process like for you, what did you see today?

01:16I'm very emotional when it comes to just the journey, how my journey's been.

01:21But just telling my teammates and just telling myself, don't let the game be bigger

01:25than what it needs to be.

01:27Like I said, we put in the work all year and at the end of the day,

01:30we do all the work during the week.

01:31It's just however many thousands of people watching,

01:34we just got to go out there and execute.

01:35We know we're the best in the nation and we just got to keep going.
