Below is a partial transcript from Hawkins' presser:

Q: What can you say about the resiliency of the team's resiliency in Saturday's win?

Hawkins: " It was great to see. You know, we've been, one of the things we've been talking about as coaches is we want to see how our guys will respond when we face some adversity. And obviously we faced some adversity in Week 1, but, you know, being down on the road is a different deal. And I'm super excited about how they responded, man. You know, just stayed stuck together on the sideline. There was a belief on the sideline that we would win the game. We fought, we fought to
the last, what, four seconds and got it done. So I think it says a lot about, you know, the
culture of the building, culture of our team and the direction that this program is headed."

Q: You had a big sophomore year yourself. Can you imagine at age 17 in that environment
doing what Nick did?

Hawkins: "Nick being Nick, me recruiting, I expect it, maybe not the numbers that he put up, but he's a talented kid, man. And that won't be just a flash in the bucket type of deal."
