Oregon State - 28, Stanford - 27
THE MODERATOR: Questions for Brycen Tremayne.
Q. Walk us through how you felt your performance went tonight. Two big touchdowns. How good does it feel to be back to your own self again?
BRYCEN TREMAYNE: I mean, it feels good, but it's just kind of overwhelmed by the loss. I don't know, there's so many things that we can improve on still as a team, myself included.
But it's good to be back out there in the end zone again, yeah.
Q. How did it feel to be more included in the game plan? You had almost as many catches as you had all season tonight. Anything special leading up to this?
BRYCEN TREMAYNE: I think it's just how it worked out. We have so many great receivers on the team between me, Mike, John, Elijah, that any game you know you could be the one that's getting the target, getting the big play. Tonight I was just lucky it was me.
Q. I want to ask about your second touchdown. Looked like you had at least three yards of separation. How did that play unfold?
BRYCEN TREMAYNE: Yeah, he was playing off coverage. Might have been around 10 to 12. They were saying on the sideline he might have bit on the bubble that Mike ran. That's just how it worked out. It worked out perfectly.
Q. A lot was made about the importance of getting off to a fast start certainly offensively. That goal was achieved. What were some of the different wrinkles that we saw early on?
BRYCEN TREMAYNE: We started fast. The defense got a stop. We went down and scored. We scored first. I mean, that's what we were talking about all week 'cause minus the Colgate game, we started off 0-7 every game. That 7-0 start, that's what we've been working on. I think it helped us a lot. You saw the explosive plays between Elijah, Mike, me.
I think we still have a lot of room to grow, and I'm excited for the rest of the season still.
Q. From the players' perspective, what does it feel like in the locker room right now? How are you going to move forward?
BRYCEN TREMAYNE: Yeah, it's tough. It was a really close game, and it came down to the last seconds. We just got to get back in the film room.
I mean, no one played a perfect game. Everybody can improve somewhere. If we can just improve every week, then it's going to come together at some point.
I'm excited for when it does.
Q. You had a spectacular catch in the end zone. Is that something you and Tanner work on? How is it playing with Tanner?
BRYCEN TREMAYNE: Yeah, I feel like me and Tanner have a special chemistry on the go fade ball. I know exactly where he's going to place it every time. He trusts me to go up and get it. That's basically what that is.
From all last year's off-season of work, my senior year, then all this season, me coming back, just trying to get back in the mix. It's just practice.
I trust in him, he trusts in me, so that's what that is.
Q. Your thoughts on the offense as a whole? Looks like you were more in rhythm tonight. Would you agree with that?
BRYCEN TREMAYNE: Definitely. I think that just speaks to starting fast. Guys coming off the sidelines, making good plays, smiling. It speaks to that.
I think we still have so much stuff we can improve on as a team. We got to go back and look at the tape 'cause there's things that everybody, including me, needs to work on. We're ready for that and we're going to get back to work this week.
