Stanford 38, Louisville 35

Q. Just talk about kind of in general your performance. What enabled you to have the stellar outing that you had? Was it a function of matchup, or what kind of got into you in this one?

EMMETT MOSELY: For this game I really have to give all the glory to God. Been through a lot, and he's really just helped me out. My coaches put me in great opportunities throughout this whole season. Teammates have pushed me. Coaches have pushed me just to get to this point. We had a great game plan coming in, and we executed.

Q. In preparation for this game this week was there maybe something in practice or anything else that kind of gave you the hint that you could have this big of a game as you did?

EMMETT MOSELY: Not necessarily. I think in this game things just fell in place. Opportunities and we were able to take advantage of them and execute because we've been really close in these past weeks, but we was able to click this week.

Q. Emmett, what was it like for you when the other Emmet lined up for that field goal?

EMMETT MOSELY: It was amazing. I was super happy to see him make that and to get the win because it was just a great feeling.

Q. The last month or two has been kind of a rough stretch for you guys. What was it like going through that stretch, and then what did you guys do to overcome it today?

EMMETT MOSELY: Just keeping our head down, going to work every day. Not getting too high; not getting too low. Just sticking to the plan, trusting the process, and just staying together as a team in the locker room. Not turning on one another and just working hard, trusting our coaches, trusting each other, and just playing hard.

Q. When you guys were down to two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and then you got those two touchdowns to even it up, what was said on the sideline that this game could possibly go to overtime or you guys could have another loss at home? What was the mindset on the sideline?

EMMETT MOSELY: Our mindset is just to do everything in our power that we could do just to execute and win the game because we can only control what we can control.

So we just went out there and everybody tried to do their job to the best of their ability, and we was able to get it done.

Q. You've had a lot of toe-tapping catches near the sideline just barely keeping your feet in. Just kind of what do you do to kind of practice that?

EMMETT MOSELY: It's actually funny. Me and my brothers back in the day when we was way younger, we used to just throw the ball to each other on the sidewalk and just practice that for hours on end. We used to always do that. It's funny that's what we're doing now at a bigger stage.

Q. On the fourth and one play I think to top of the game, what did you see just from your perspective?

EMMETT MOSELY: I just seen they loaded up the box and Coach Taylor called a great play call. We got the look we wanted, and we were able to take advantage of it.
