Washington 20, Stanford 13
Q. Dylan, what are you thinking when the last call comes in?
DYLAN MORRIS: Yeah, I mean, I love it. That's just the aggressiveness of this team. Offense, defense, whole team together, we're aggressive. We put up points on the board. That one we had enough time on the clock to put the it up for him. If we miss it, Peyton is probably going to hit a field goal to win the game either way.
I love the call by the coaches right there. The players don't flinch. We just hear the call, we're going to execute it action that's it.
Q. What's the outpouring of emotion like that in this the locker room like that?
DYLAN MORRIS: No better feeling. Against a team like Stanford, you never know how many possessions you're going to get. They hold the ball for so long. Obviously we had missed some opportunities to get some touchdowns. Thankfully Peyton put them in the uprights.
When you win a game like that, especially going down late like that, bouncing back, putting some points on the board, getting the win, there's no greater feeling.
Q. Sean, you have struggled getting the run game going into tonight. What was the difference?
SEAN McGREW: I think we're just hungrier. We knew we were struggling in the run game. Knew we had to come out. This was going to be a heavyweight fight. You know when you play Stanford, you got to be able to run the ball against them. We just wanted to do that tonight. Happy to get it going. Amazing family.
Q. With you and Cam working off each other, how did that feel?
SEAN McGREW: Yeah, it felt great. The plan going into the game was just to keep us fresh, just rotating us, us tapping (indiscernible) hunger whenever we got tired, whoever was in there had the freshest legs. As you can tell, it ended up well tonight.
Q. When was the last time you heard a locker room like you're hearing tonight?
DYLAN MORRIS: Probably last year against Utah. That feeling is going to give us so much more confidence going into next week and trying to go on a run here late.
Q. There were two games where you didn't look good at the end. What does tonight show you about your heart?
DYLAN MORRIS: Yeah, that's just the resilience we have on this team. Like I said, we felt that teams weren't stopping us, we were stopping ourselves. That's all it was. We weren't executing. We knew it was just one or two things going wrong on each play, that we could fix it. It was all manageable things that we could hone in on the details, we harped on all this week, details, coming out with energy, starting fast. That definitely showed in this game.
Q. Sean, you've been here awhile. Something extra beating Stanford, especially here?
SEAN McGREW: I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard somebody say out there we haven't won here in 15 years.
Q. 14.
SEAN McGREW: 14? Yeah, so obviously it was pretty unbelievable. Just amazing to be part of this team, breaking the streak. We're just hoping to get on -- man, I can't even talk right now. Trying to get on a hot streak right now and finish the season strong.
That was an amazing win. We got to get back to work and get ready to next week.
Q. Dylan, what do you see from the running game with Cam?
DYLAN MORRIS: Yeah, I mean, that's such a good balance I think. It's nothing but a positive thing getting two different guys that can run a little different. They see the hole a little different. We're running the same plays. Each guy is going to find a hole differently, break some tackles. That definitely worked.
Like Sean was saying, fresh legs out there. You could see we were running a lot of wide zone. Running backs had to stretch it, once they saw the hole, they had to hit it. Having the fresh legs on there really helped.
Q. Did the ref call the whistle early?
DYLAN MORRIS: I felt it was a little early. Didn't push, let me slide off the pile there. Something we can't control. Can't leave it in the hands of the refs.
Q. Did he say anything?
DYLAN MORRIS: He was talking to coach and I didn't hear it.
Q. (No microphone.)
DYLAN MORRIS: That's just something that once in a blue moon if a guy crashes a little too hard, I have the ability to pull it. I saw him crash a little bit. We were killing them on that play. We hit them on that play a few times. He squeezed a little bit. There's no one outside of him. Just pulled it, got a few yards.
Q. You practiced this week against your defense. Did you see anything different?
DYLAN MORRIS: Yeah, we didn't really get much reps against our defense this week. But, I mean, yeah, definitely, you could see that just stopping the run. I think it was all 11 on the ball, death row defense, all guys flying around and tackling.
You're going against the scouts most of the week. Hard to see what the defense is working on. I like seeing it on game day, watching them work.
Q. What have you seen from Carson?
DYLAN MORRIS: The dude has such an unbelievable motor. He's got the bloodline in him. He bleeds purple and gold. He'll lay his heart out there on the line for any of us. I think that really showed. Super cool to see a freshman work like that.
Q. Where is your confidence right now as well as in the offense?
DYLAN MORRIS: Yeah, my confidence has never faltered. Like I said, it's the little details, even including my game that I could clean up. It was manageable. Every game watching the film, it was one or two little things I could pick out, I had to work on throughout the week.
My confidence has never really taken a blow or anything. As an offense, getting some good runs, gives the O-line confidence, running backs confidence. Everybody, just great going into next week.
Q. Is this the best team game this year?
DYLAN MORRIS: I would say so, yes. Like Sean said, it was a heavyweight fight. That was something coach harped on all week. Against this team, it's the hardest, most physical game usually. As a team, we showed the most resilience this game, played our best full game there today.
