Nebraska football middle linebacker MJ Sherman talks UTEP win I HuskerOnline I GBR

fall Camp I mean we been a whole month of August it started like at the end of July follow way to August 31st and we went out there we played our brand of football you know this of course going to be some things to clean up at the end of the day man that's how you that's how you got capitalized CH on top and you know we W and0 this week so have great feeling besides that three-play drive you guys were pretty much Nails how did you guys bounce back so fast from that and get right back to being dominant the rest of the way uh what's the next mentality I mean their good football team as well they going to have some plays they we we going to have some plays but as long as we play One play at a time and not try to play 15 different plays at you know what I'm saying just take it one step at a time and everything be easy so I mean we've been doing this since uh winter in Matt drills having the West next mentality if something bad happens great something good happens great you know just moving on to the next it felt like momentum shifted after the the safety what changed for you guys after that play nothing I'm telling you like I I promise you we all went out there with a positive attitude a positive mood we all went out there to have fun fun today and once again you know it been a really long ruling camp and today you know we just had to make somebody feel it is that what you were expecting you mentioned that's the product of a of a fall camp but is that the style of play that you wanted to see from your course I'm want to see from my defense offense special teams you know fans everything like all around environment as what we what we Thrive for what we you know wake up at 6:00 a.m. don't go to sleep till 10: 10 p.m. you know that's what we Thrive for man and um it's great to have all the work that's put into place and you be see the finished product so what does that do for you knowing that that's the way you start this season um you put it on tape so that's a standard you know and then from from there on these guys keep improving that standard keep raising that ball what what do you learn about yourself as a defense when you do it in a game you guys been doing it all off since to do it in a game what what do you I mean you just I mean I just that you know like ConEd um confidence you know what I mean like is starting like yeah we see in practice yeah we've been going against our own you know own color for a while but you know to go against another team no matter who they are you know name face his opponent you're just knowing that like okay we we did it before we did it we did it in the game now just that confidence just Rises and you know and plus to be mesh and bond really well as a team so yeah I think that's that's what it really does to see the offense you know uh explode like it did how juice does that make the defense and excited for you guys to get back out there oh that's great cuz all in the back of our mind we just tell ourselves we just got to do our job keep giving the ball back to the offense you know and that's one of the great things we can do for the defense you know keep giving the ball back to the offense keep giving them great field position to score keep giving them opportunities to work their magic and we just sit there have fun what you have to do what do you have to do as a defense against a team that goes tempo as much as you be alert and go as Tempo with him we condition to much their condition you run half gases you did M drills we ready for it we just in shape as they were and so to day how do you think you're you individually are a different player than you know when you guys walked off the field at the end of last season how do you how do you feel like you you're yourself in Pro this God is good baby that's all I can really say I can't really tell you like the great details of it but I can tell you that God is good put my faith in him put everything in him you know started get connected my spiritual and show you know God's good man can you tell about where you guys lock is at right now just seems like you guys all have a really Elite level of focus and kind of are all locked in right now oh yeah of course I mean but the locker room right now it's full of joy and happiness you know what I mean something we should celebrate about as I said it's a cherry on top of fall camp but that's what we are right now but soon as soon as Sunday rolls around we back locked in the focus going have fun tonight but the next morning time to get back to work when Javin went down everyone kind of saw that as a big loss for the linebacking room um did that kind of reshift your focus in really just kind of allow you guys to to capitalize on that you talk about J yeah uh no I mean it wasn't necessarily reshift the focus but more so like we know how bad how much how how much badly he wants to be out there you know we can see in his eyes you can see his his demeanor and everything how he be be around the team and everything like that we know how much he wants to be out there with us so we play for him if we out there bsing or loafing and stuff like that that's disrespect to him you know you know what I mean so like that's that's really it on that safety that you guys got as a defense how how aggressive was the defense on that what was the call like on that particular play and then what was the moment like afterward when you guys confirm that's that's what happens when you just play your keys and play and play football see what you see like Ty Robinson did a great job of doing what he was doing he been doing his whole last two weeks of prep we seen it before we was not surprised you know what I mean and you know as as sideline as a defense I mean it's just it's just great it's an overwhelming feeling okay cool and now it's now really trying to put the pressure on the board so yeah that's how we felt how fun was it to see uh Dylan play the way he did oh really great really great really great really great really great I mean I Dylan Dylan is like a little brother to me and I you know I love him with all my heart so it's really good just like I love all my other teammates but it's really good to see him to see you know brings a smile to my face cuz I know he you know he's on a path to really take off getting through that first game just how much does that prepare you for kind of the grinds that's to come I mean we will never have what three months or two or at least a whole month to prepare for somebody again you know that's what fall Camp is that's the beauty about week one right you got like lowkey a whole month to prepare you know now next week we got what five days so then that's way it just wraps up but that's why we putting the work in the offseason so we got got to do too much in in the real season you know what I mean so we just going there work working our Cav clean up the mistakes everything else like that and go in and just roll out what are the I know there's can't be too many nits to pick when you give up seven points but are what are the little things to clean up got to watch them yeah what is it about Coach rules camp that that prepares you for moments like this and and what is it like going through those those hard days how do you get through them you know your why I mean I feel like every single B on this on this football team knows their why they know what they do it for even if just simply For the Love of the Game you know what they do it for and um and we really stick it through and I mean like coach rules camps like it's hard it's physical and everything else like that but when you know the method to his Madness and know the reason why you know especially coming off the season that we did last year and it just propels you to even do even sit through that you know Embrace that Embrace that grind cuz it's only going to make you a better man you know at the end so
