Q. Tavion, yet other four touchdown night. What was it like to be able to run out there?

TAVION THOMAS: It felt good. Like I said, we doing our job every day, we work hard, and it's paying off. Starting to see it pay off for us. O-block, baby.

Q. (Regarding the offensive line.) What do you credit that to?

TAVION THOMAS: I'd say just to the coaches that we been working every day. We stay after and do extra work and the boys been working and they been in they playbook, we all have, so it just keep working for us.

Q. Tavion, how exciting was it to see the other guys have good games?

TAVION THOMAS: It was really good. I want to see all my brothers eating, man. We all got a goal and I want to see them boys (indiscernible). I was happy for them. I just want to see them keep doing they thing. We going to finish this thing, we going to need everybody.

Q. Cam, when you can take the first drive and go right down the field do whatever you want, do you feel like you have them where you want them even after that first drive?

CAMERON RISING: I think just Coach Whitt has a tremendous amount of confidence in this offense and just knows we like to start fast and we like to get things going early, and shout out to O-block. They did a great job with our first drive, set the tone, really dominated up front, and that's why we ended up getting in the end zone.

Q. Devin, you got your own touchdown tonight. Obviously you were able to get that play. What was this experience like?

DEVIN LLOYD: I was kind of in shock obviously honestly. I was like, I can't believe. Yeah, felt really good to get back in the end zone. Being a former receiver, you know, love getting in the end zone, and on the defensive side, so always feels good to get back in there.

Q. What was working so well for you guys tonight?

DEVIN LLOYD: I think everyone was just playing assignment sound football. We pride ourselves on playing hard every time we're on the field, so I think that's something our team does a great job of doing as far as technique and doing our assignment properly. I think we did a really good job of that.

Q. Did you guys notice during -- between the third and the fourth quarter the fans pulling out their phones like they do back home? Nobody noticed that?

PLAYER: No.

PLAYER: Yeah. Too focused on the game.

Q. Where do you guys go from here? Obviously going to keep winning, how do you not let this get too high and lose focus of what's going on?

CAMERON RISING: Pedal to the metal. It has to stay down. We have a job to do and a goal we want to accomplish. We still have to keep going, come in, and show up like this game never happened pretty much on Monday and take it from there.

DEVIN LLOYD: Like Cam said, really just taking everything one day at a time, too. Obviously wins like this are great for our confidence as a team, understanding how good we are. But we can't get too high on ourselves because I'm almost certain on both sides of the ball there were mistakes made.

So more so a matter of just getting back to the drawing board, correcting those mistakes, and building on top of what we been doing good at.

Q. Without having seen film yet, can you pinpoint anything that was negative that has to get worked on? For any of you guys.

PLAYER: We got to watch the film.

PLAYER: Yeah, you usually study that
