Q. Congratulations on the win. Can you talk about the 84 yard touchdown pass? Tell us what the play was? Looked like you were running by yourself for about 60 yards of that thing.

TREVON CLARK: All right, so, yeah, that's a play we practice all week. They were trying to play us man coverage. We knew we could take advantage of the middle of the field, so we repped it through our practice. Me and Chase continued to connect on it.

As soon as I heard him call it I knew I was going to score, I didn't care where I was on the field. I caught it. Lit up like a Christmas tree.

Q. Congratulations again. Last time you were here it was a little tighter at the end and you had the catch down the sideline. How did it feel to get ahead early and have this bigger gap as you guys kind of wore them down in the second half?

TREVON CLARK: I mean, it just goes back to we want it more at the end of the day and we worked hard for it day in and day out throughout the entire week leading up to this.

I'm not surprised in any way that we performed the way we did. Honestly didn't think it was going to be tight from the jump.

Q. And you also had the catch on Kekoa's pass there. Walk us through that play.

TREVON CLARK: Yeah, that's another play we walked through a lot. I mean, we threw it all week. Musgrave called it, we executed it. It was supposed to be a touchdown, but I'll take the catch.

Q. I don't know if you would know or not, and maybe I assume you do, that the touchdown was the longest pass play in Big Game history.

TREVON CLARK: Yeah, just found out. That's a blessing.

Q. So I know coach the week before the Big Game each year talks about the history and the tradition and everything else. To know that you have the longest pass reception in Big Game history, how do you react to that?

TREVON CLARK: I mean, I give all the glory to God. I'm blessed. Really not much I can say about that. Took advantage when the moment presented itself and, you know, just thank God. Keep working.

Q. You had a huge catch in the last Stanford game two years ago, which was really critical in that Cal win. Going into this game, did you have that in the back of your mind, being able to make a couple of big difference-making plays?

TREVON CLARK: Sorry, your mic was kind of going in and out.

Q. Can you hear me now?

TREVON CLARK: Yeah, I can hear you now.

Q. Sorry. In the game two years ago your play was just a critical difference-making play. People didn't even know how you came down with that ball over the back shoulder. Did you have that in the back of your mind that you would like to come into this game and make a big impact again?

TREVON CLARK: I mean, that's always on my mind coming into every game. This game had a little bit more importance because we were playing for something and we got to go 3-0 these next three weeks because we were determined to go to a bowl game.

I don't think much. I go out there and just play. Whatever opportunities presents itself, I take advantage of it.
