  You guys are ready. Go for it.
• 0:01
  >> Byron, uh, talk about your decision to
• 0:03
  come to Auburn.
• 0:04
  >> Um, a decision. Um, you know, Coach
• 0:05
  Golish has uh showed me his plan from
• 0:08
  from day one when he got there, got to
• 0:10
  USF, and now he came here and wanted
• 0:13
  wanted to build something again. And,
• 0:15
  you know, I I trust in that man fully.
• 0:17
  So, I can't wait to, you know, bring
• 0:19
  this place back to where it should be.
• 0:21
  You've
• 0:21
  >> been in offense in the system a few
• 0:23
  years now. What's something that, you
• 0:24
  know, maybe people don't know that they
• 0:25
  should know about this offense?
• 0:27
  >> We're going to score a lot of points.
• 0:29
  What is it about your fit in this
• 0:31
  offense that you've enjoyed with with
• 0:33
  coach Golish? I mean, I think now this
• 0:34
  is going to be what year four of you
• 0:35
  being his starting quarterback. What do
• 0:37
  you enjoy about that relationship and
• 0:39
  how that works?
• 0:40
  >> I enjoyed, you know, just being able to
• 0:42
  facilitate the ball, give give the ball
• 0:44
  to the playmakers, let them make plays
• 0:45
  and then, uh, given the opportunity,
• 0:47
  I'll I'll make plays, but I'm I'm a
• 0:49
  quarterback that's going to do whatever
• 0:50
  it takes to win, whether I got to run,
• 0:51
  whether I got to throw, um, whatever it
• 0:53
  takes to win. An
• 0:54
  >> opportunity to come play in the SEC. How
• 0:57
  excited are you for that?
• 0:59
  >> Stoked. I mean, uh, you know, you get
• 1:02
  the, uh, it was just the American or
• 1:05
  whatever conference. So, get being able
• 1:06
  to come into this conference and, uh,
• 1:09
  showcase the same skill, set, and
• 1:10
  ability and win. That's that's what I'm
• 1:13
  looking forward to.
• 1:14
  >> You as a quarterback, and, you know, I'm
• 1:15
  sure a lot of people have seen the
• 1:16
  highlights, but just how do you describe
• 1:18
  your your play and and your abilities?
• 1:20
  >> Uh, I describe it as, you know, just
• 1:23
  strictly a quarterback that's going to
• 1:24
  do whatever it takes to win. uh throw
• 1:26
  the ball 50 times a game, run the ball
• 1:29
  50 times a game, whatever, whatever it
• 1:30
  takes to win. That's my that's my
• 1:31
  mentality.
• 1:33
  >> You mentioned, you know, playmakers
• 1:34
  getting the ball to. A lot of the guys
• 1:36
  have already come from USF to to Auburn.
• 1:39
  How excited are you to be in an offense
• 1:40
  where it's going to be a lot of familiar
• 1:42
  faces, not only on the coaching staff,
• 1:43
  but guys you'll be throwing the ball to
• 1:44
  as well.
• 1:45
  >> I'm very excited, but I'm also very
• 1:46
  excited to, you know, uh get other get
• 1:48
  other pieces here. Um and then build
• 1:51
  build with the team that's already here,
• 1:52
  you know, uh looking forward to meeting
• 1:54
  those guys. uh and you know just just um
• 1:58
  hopefully being being accepted fairly
• 2:00
  quickly.
• 2:01
  >> You're familiar with the staff already
• 2:03
  obviously, but what stood out to you
• 2:04
  about their vision since they've taken
• 2:06
  over at Auburn? [snorts]
• 2:07
  >> Their vision uh
• 2:08
  >> about the program
• 2:09
  >> they they want to win and um I believe
• 2:13
  that they're going to do exactly what
• 2:14
  they uh said to me when they first got
• 2:17
  there and at US7 and now here. So I'm
• 2:20
  looking forward to it. for you when you
• 2:22
  went in the portal? Was there ever
• 2:23
  really a thought of going anywhere else
• 2:25
  other than following coach Galish to
• 2:26
  Auburn?
• 2:27
  >> Uh it was truly a decision between
• 2:30
  staying and coming here. Um you know,
• 2:32
  it's been home for past four years, but
• 2:34
  sometimes best thing is to move on and
• 2:37
  uh felt like that was the my best
• 2:38
  opportunity which is to move on. Byron,
• 2:41
  >> what would be your message to the Albert
• 2:42
  fans? What would you want to tell them?
• 2:44
  >> Man, pack out Jordan Hair Stadium and uh
• 2:47
  let's do it. We're Eagle.
