OFFENSIVE LINEMAN PETER SKORONSKI
With Lloyd Cushenberry II going down and you already had some guys step up on the right to push through for a win.
Yeah, definitely a lot of results. Losing Cush (Lloyd Cushenberry III) was big. But Corey (Levin) came in and stepped up with basically no reps with the starting offense at all. So, he really stepped up, Dan (Brunskill) and O.J. (John Ojukwu) and Leroy (Waston IV) really stepped up and battled. It just took a lot of grit and guys just stayed on their standard stuff; it was a great job.
Did you find yourself in more of a leadership role and how did all that pan out for the conversations with the O-line?
Yeah, maybe a little bit. Obviously, we had Dan (Brunskill) there, who's a veteran. The whole offense kind of stayed together. I think we all just kind—it almost got a little bit more because we knew we had a little bit of leadership void right there and everybody stepped up in that sense.
You guys overcame so much today. You mentioned the injuries, penalties, the last-second miracle play to force overtime, it just seemed like today was the day where losing was not going to be an option?
Yeah, I think we finally saw that that resilience we've been talking about, and it showed up today. Hadn't shown up in the past, but today it finally showed up. Guys just played hard for 60 minutes-plus, literally. So proud, I'm proud of everyone on the team for doing that.
