A.J. TERRELL:
All right. The defense, again, just another outstanding effort. What was the key for you guys out there today? Really just keying in on the main things that we've been going over all week. Just staying true to it, trusting the system.

Speaker 1:
What did you read on that interception that you had?

A.J. TERRELL:
Wasn't nothing to read, the ball came right to me. Just got it and did what I did with it.

Speaker 1:
Is that one of those where you see it coming down and you're like, "Oh my God, just don't drop it"?


A.J. TERRELL:
Oh nah. I wasn't going to drop that one, it was too wide open.

Speaker 3:
When the offense has struggled a little bit early on and the defense just keeps making plays. Giving the offense time to get going.

A.J. TERRELL:
Yeah we ... Coach Swinney always says we take pride in complimentary football. The offense make plays, we make plays. They don't make a play, we make a play. We don't make a play, they make a play. Stuff like that. We just pride ourself on, and just go out there, and handle our business.

Speaker 3:
How do you feel like this game finished today?

A.J. TERRELL:
We finished real strong. You know what I'm saying? We did start off slow on the offense side. Like I said, the complimentary side, we had turnovers, gave our offense the ball back. I feel like we did a good job on that.

Speaker 3:
Tell me about the interception again. 

A.J. TERRELL:
Oh yeah I was trying to make a play. Throughout the whole game didn't get that many targets, whatever. Try to make the most of it. You know what I'm saying? When I got that pick I just tried to make a play with the ball. Cutting across the field, trying to make something happen.
