Oh, did I save?

Okay.

I love Bloomington.

I love my guy Mitch in the EQ room, and he was lucky enough to give me a game ball after because all those balls were gone.

Yeah.

But my younger brother, Alberto, we took one ball home from the stadium, and I have my helmet.

I don't know where my shoulder pads are.

I think we might have my shoulder pads.

But definitely helmet, jersey, and towel, and cleats.

The cleats are at home.

I almost used those cleats to work out the other day, but I was like, you know what, let me just keep them there.

I'll use some other cleats just because I enjoyed the cleats.

I'll use some Adidas cleats.

Yes, there were, and the huddle's a very special place.

It's like football heaven for me, and I believe for a lot of other quarterbacks.

It's fourth down in the national championship, you have 10 other players who've worked all this way through an entire season, creating as brothers, looking at you, seeing what's the play call, how much does he believe in this play call by the way he says it, and does he have any other messaging?

And so at that point, I was able to deliver the play call with complete confidence.

Our guys, not just me, but all of our guys were able to come together, give each other a little pump up, hey, saying, this is what we do.

We make big plays, big time games.

And it was a play that, depending on manner zone, the defense was a little bit discombobulated because they didn't believe we'd go for a fourth and five.
