Speaker 1: My next guest race down the sideline Saturday night for
Speaker 1: a school record one hundred yard pick six. From more
Speaker 1: on that, Let's go straight to the source and welcome in.
Speaker 1: Matthew McDoom Matthew Lance McAllister. How are you.
Speaker 2: I'm Gray, I'm doing great. How are you?
Speaker 1: I am well?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: Watching that? Uh that the pick six? By you? To
Speaker 1: describe the play, because it looked like you you were
Speaker 1: almost like in their huddle and knew exactly what was
Speaker 1: coming your way.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, man, I knew it was a one won
Speaker 3: for sure to the field, and I knew that they
Speaker 3: had the glad me. They didn't really go after me
Speaker 3: all game, so I just knew the play was coming
Speaker 3: after me.
Speaker 2: So I knew I had to make him play. And
Speaker 2: then when I caught it, man, you know, you just
Speaker 2: gotta be a playmaker. You just gotta go. And I
Speaker 2: had just I had a team.
Speaker 3: Of blocks, you know, it's just ready. Everybody was ready
Speaker 3: to block for me, you know. So it was just amazing.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. What's it like having a convoy
Speaker 1: of your teammates. You're running down the sidelines, you're under
Speaker 1: the lights the opposing team stadium, and you've got a
Speaker 1: convoy of teammates waiting the way.
Speaker 3: Nah, that's a that's a crazy moment because at the
Speaker 3: time I was joining, I could hear them.
Speaker 2: Yelling like, come on, Dune, come on dude. So nah,
Speaker 2: it was great. That's a great moment.
Speaker 1: And you guys, the defense gets an interception finally and
Speaker 1: turns it into points.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 3: That's what we look for. You know, we get one,
Speaker 3: just get the turnover. But if you can't score, you know,
Speaker 3: that's what that's what we hope to do.
Speaker 1: With the win, you go to six and one, that
Speaker 1: means your Bowl eligible. But my guess is, your guys,
Speaker 1: sites are much higher than just going bowling, right.
Speaker 2: Definitely, definitely you got to change.
Speaker 1: I mean, you keep doing what you're doing, and man,
Speaker 1: a chance to play in Dallas for the Big twelve.
Speaker 1: I know that's down the road. That's an awfully nice
Speaker 1: goal to have. In front of you, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, Sara, definitely, But all right now we're just
Speaker 3: trying to go one and know.
Speaker 2: Each day days of so so we could get there. Definitely.
Speaker 1: I heard coach Saderfield today talk about the process and
Speaker 1: the importance of Tuesday practice. Tell me what you believe?
Speaker 1: What does process mean to you?
Speaker 2: Process is everything, that's how you just got.
Speaker 3: To live through life. Really everything out of their process.
Speaker 3: You know, you just got to be consistent in what
Speaker 3: you do. Everybody got to just be consistent and buy in,
Speaker 3: you know. And once that, once everybody's doing that, you know,
Speaker 3: who knows.
Speaker 2: What we could do? We could do anything.
Speaker 1: Really, I heard you on Coaches Rate show last week,
Speaker 1: and I've always thought this when I listened to the
Speaker 1: show and hear you guys as guests on the show.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a close group that enjoys being around
Speaker 1: each other. With a lot of new faces from different
Speaker 1: places in the world of portal, that can be tough
Speaker 1: getting a group to mesh together. Why has this group
Speaker 1: come together so well?
Speaker 3: You know, I really I really say it's us from
Speaker 3: our leaders really, you know, right when everybody got there,
Speaker 3: you know, everybody has like that little nervous you know moments,
Speaker 3: and then you know the leaders, everybody who's already there,
Speaker 3: you know, who already know how to process goes. They
Speaker 3: just welcomed everybody in, you know, showed them how the
Speaker 3: process goes. So Hi, everything go and just everybody just
Speaker 3: bought in. So you know that's just the bond is
Speaker 3: don't break. We're really with us.
Speaker 1: I was listening to through some of the different videos
Speaker 1: released by U see social media, some of the pregame
Speaker 1: speech from coach, then some of the postgame speech from coach.
Speaker 1: What's it like playing for Scott Sadderfield?
Speaker 3: It's amazing and it's like you want to you want
Speaker 3: to go through a door for him.
Speaker 2: You know, you would do anything for coach that, so
Speaker 2: you know, just having him, you know, motivate you. You know,
Speaker 2: having him on the side.
Speaker 3: You know, it's just it's great because you know he's
Speaker 3: going to give his best, so you just you want
Speaker 3: to give your best for him, you know, and the team.
Speaker 1: So definitely, your defensive coordinator, Tyson Vite plays more of
Speaker 1: an unconventional type of defense. What was the was it
Speaker 1: an adjustment for you? What was it like getting used
Speaker 1: to it?
Speaker 3: Definitely there was definitely an adjustment. But I say with
Speaker 3: the help of like Loud and Wilson coach Hicks, they definitely.
Speaker 2: You know, made it.
Speaker 3: You know less, it doesn't seem complicated, you know when
Speaker 3: you're in the meeting rooms with him, you know, they
Speaker 3: break everything down simple, so you understand how how the
Speaker 3: defense works and how everything's supposed to look.
Speaker 1: Let me get in with the help of jeris sure, sorry, no, no, Joe,
Speaker 1: my apology.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it allows you to to play free and you're
Speaker 1: you're not You're not having to think a lot about it.
Speaker 1: It just becomes second nature. You're just reacting on the
Speaker 1: football field.
Speaker 2: Definitely, for sure your.
Speaker 1: Offense is is elite with Brendan Sorosby leading the way.
Speaker 1: What what's it like watching your offense go to work?
Speaker 2: Ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 3: When I'm on the sideline, I turned into a fan,
Speaker 3: you know, after after we get after I talked to
Speaker 3: the defense, you know, we get all our checks done,
Speaker 3: all our communications that you know, and we're just.
Speaker 2: Waiting to go back on the field. You know, I
Speaker 2: turned into a fan as.
Speaker 3: I'm watching our offense because man, it just it looks
Speaker 3: amazing just right now.
Speaker 2: So I'm loving it, Matthew.
Speaker 1: Does it help you guys as a defense to go
Speaker 1: against that offense every day?
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, definitely since since we started playing.
Speaker 3: You know, since we was doing OTAs just rots on air,
Speaker 3: you could just tell that they had that juice, you know,
Speaker 3: so just going against everybody, it definitely gave us more
Speaker 3: of a confidence to go against other people.
Speaker 1: I was looking back at the preseason polls and I
Speaker 1: think coaches or media, somebody, you guys picked fourteenth in
Speaker 1: the Big twelve. Right now, you're one of two unbeatens
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve. Have you guys, do you guys
Speaker 1: play with a chip on your shoulder to prove the
Speaker 1: doubters wrong?
Speaker 2: Definitely? You know, we always played with a chip.
Speaker 3: You know, we knew that people didn't expect us to
Speaker 3: be where we're at right now, so we just want
Speaker 3: to We just want to keep going to prove everybody wrong.
Speaker 2: And prove ourselves right, to prove out. You know, we
Speaker 2: worked this hard.
Speaker 3: You know, we worked hard every day since everybody got here,
Speaker 3: since the spring and fall. So we just want to
Speaker 3: prove to ourselves to hey, we can go as far
Speaker 3: as we want to.
