Malik Bryant had the best game of his young career, with 4 tackles, 1.5 TFL, half a sack and a keys top on a fake FG. He met with reporters to discuss the game:
On the stop on the fake FG: I just saw opportunity, and I knew the team needed the stop, so I got back there. It was a team effort, though, always. I was glad I was in the position to make the play.
On the momentum shift: I feel like we all lean on each other to get the job done. So that's what we did tonight.
On the final replay: Emotions were definitely high because we put a lot into it. But we always want the outcome that we wish for, and that's what we got. We know we put in the work all summer, all spring. It showed tonight. I don't really try to worry about [them making the call]. I try to control what I can control and push through with the game.
On playing from behind: At halftime, we knew what we needed to get done. We came back and played with our hair on fire in the second half.
On Kyron Drones: He's definitely a tough opponent. He's got a brighter future ahead of him. He was a great athlete..
On the impact he made: I felt like my coaches, Coach Guidry, Coach Taylor, Coach D-Nick, and all the defensive staff and coaches in general prepared me for that moment. Everybody looks at this moment tonight, but there was a lot more put into that, and I feel like they prepared me more than well.
