Press Conference

TARON VINCENT: Definitely when we found out, Coach Day got all the guys re-motivated after the Team Up North game. We've just been competing all month leading up to this game. Just been a lot of hard work being put in. So I think guys are ready, and we're just going to compete.

Q. The spotlight is always on such a big team, but even more now. With the younger guys on the team, how can you motivate them? Is it just saying, hey, we've been here before. We've done this before. It's just another game. We've got to go out there and perform.

TARON VINCENT: I think it starts at practice. Just showing them the speed we need to be at at practice for us to be able win. I think it all starts from there, and the young guys caught on, and everybody has been working hard.

Q. This is such a big game coming up on Saturday, but it's been a great week. What's been your favorite part?

TARON VINCENT: I think last night we were at the arcade, bowling alley, and go-kart racing. We got to go into a VR and play call of duty on there. So that's pretty cool.

Q. How did that go?

TARON VINCENT: That was cool. Had a headset on and you could walk. That was pretty cool.

Q. What is your favorite city to play in?

TARON VINCENT: Since I've been in college, I'd probably say L.A.

Q. What do you like about L.A.?

TARON VINCENT: The weather.

Q. Got any pregame habits that you do?

TARON VINCENT: I have to take a hot shower before every game. I got to have a two pack of Gushers. That's pretty much my only two things I got to do.

Q. If you could eat anything before a game, what would it be?

TARON VINCENT: Some Gushers.

Q. Do you like Atlanta, the city of Atlanta?

TARON VINCENT: It's pretty cool.

Q. What's your favorite thing in Atlanta?

TARON VINCENT: I guess the amount of people out here that look like me, I'd say.

Q. If you had a drink named after you, what would it be?

TARON VINCENT: I would be some type of cocktail. Some little sweet but not too sweet. I don't even know.
