VJ Payne discusses game winning pick against Tulane

I was taking a shower that's the only time I put it in my locker yeah I walk me through that play how did you read it how did you come the interception um uh basically I was in the post coming from the boundary and I was showing um in the middle of the field so I kind of figured the quarterback he was going to throw it to the boundary Cu uh with that single exor he was going to take the shot and so he didn't uh I guess he saw me melt over there when he uh when the ball sna and he threw it he uh overthrew the over oute coming towards the middle and I was was already over there uh to make the play so over through and I just Ching overthrow get pick so that's what happen how satisfying is it to to win that defense not just with this play but the St score um you know uh making big plays like that on defense uh we was harping after um the first half we need some turnovers for the offense you know uh giving them a short field so little stuff like that the touchdown not little big things like that touchdown scoop and score the interception to seal the game you know stuff like that really helps our offense at the end of the day giving them a short field to goal down and score and do what they need to do so it's just like we both helping each other out at the end of the day um you know just stuff like that prior to your pick had been a tough day defending the pass what was the issue there today for you guys uh you know it was a the first half was a tough day I'll get I'll say that um but you know we came we went the locker room um revamp we said uh we came up as a defense it was like it's not like they're doing nothing crazy it's just simple pass Concepts just need to see our keys play do who we do you know what I'm saying it's simple stuff uh it's nothing like they was throwing some all type of stuff all over the place it was just the same route you know once you see the keys um you got to just do what you need to do go make that play you know and stuff like that that's what we did in the second half I felt like uh coming out of halftime you know got back together as a defense say what we need to do came out did what we did so what G some you know what I'm saying what did you see on the play with they called touchdown and then reversed it so uh personally I don't think he scored I dead ass oh I I for real don't think he scored I don't even think he got his foot down but you know uh passion I mean so I really know when they said that so I was kind of I was kind of happy so I mean but did you see the come out or or or that Collision where that it was thrown for yeah I did uh well after the play I did okay uh so um when they ran the little pick route I had to work over top and in my head I thought he didn't score and get his foot down uh in the endzone but they said uh it was a touchdown Which kind of made me mad but and then they threw the flag on the offense so you know G me another opportunity to go out there next play you know what I'm saying not worried about that play that play is over with next play mentality how does your mindset adjust when it's um when they're they have to go back to the 16 and the 17 seconds to G um you know uh keep things in front of us you know time's running down uh we got to get to that quarterback cuz you know sacks kill drives you know def uh D line going back there doing what they need to do then us on the back end just playing top down uh go track the ball out go make plays on the ball so that's basically all you know what I'm saying so thanks for you thank you
