| 0:23.0 | Bruce, I had a lot of fun watching the games on Saturday. It just seemed like there was, |
| 0:26.8 | there was, there were so many eventful developments and crazy plays and also a very |
| 0:35.1 | noteworthy post-game sideline reporter interview that you had with Gary Patterson. |
| 0:42.9 | When did you realize Max was different than your average freshman quarterback? |
| 0:46.7 | Well, when we recruited him. |
| 0:49.1 | He's a great kid, great family. |
| 0:52.3 | Everything. |
| 0:53.1 | His future is very bright. Your voice is gone gone is this going to be a feeling of joy |
| 0:57.5 | or what's going on from here hell yeah how does you keep it together when you when when he once he |
| 1:02.8 | opened his mouth you know i so after that happened i go back to my hotel room and we had a great |
| 1:08.6 | game it was just very competitive back and forth it was a beautiful day out there tc's a fun place to be at so i get back to my hotel room. I mean, we had a great game. It was just very competitive back and forth. It was a beautiful day out there. |
