Malaki Starks reflects on another acrobatic interception in season-opener vs. Clemson

I was getting a little Bor uh but you know and I realized the ball was coming out I I got excited sure second time you made a play like that inside this very stadium was a little bit of dà out there a little bit uh a little bit you know it was the same direction just opposite side of the field um you know it's it's glory all glory to God one more about just what impressed your most about how he actually playing so much I think uh his his ability to to take adjustments will be flying but when we come back to the sideline you know we talk about adjustments and stuff and just him being able to communicate well cuz I know when you come as a freshman it's crazy but uh just when I can look back and talk to him like Hey if they go here you're going to do this I'm going go there and uh he got it just his ability to learn and just to play uh he plays very fast very physical um you know he plays very fly and don't like that about you some really good here how does this [Music] right this um I don't really know uh I really don't man you know we don't try to we don't compare ourselves to uh other defenses or defenses in the past we TR to at least but uh you know I think we have really good defense so we have a the ability to be really good from your perspective what was it like just reading ktie out there just as a defensive back and just reading the quarterback yeah uh you know he he's very elusive you know he can hurt you in the air hurt you on ground whatever it may be um so just you know kind of going against that quarterback it brings a little bit more excitement cuz you really never know uh what he's going to do in a sense of he can hurt you with whatever he does uh so it was just really excited to go out there and compete against him Mal I know you don't want to compare defenses of the past however let's go back to 2021 you were not playing for Georgia yet but there is a similarity between both games no touchdowns allowed on defense how proud are you uh really you know that's that's our thing uh you know I think that's why you come Georgia to play defense we really here you know course has an awesome defensive so many talented guys but I think just the ability to go out there and do that take a lot of Pride about three more minutes' gone up against this offense practice uh first half wasn't really for him were you surprised the way they kind of explode in the second half is that kind of uh you know you know something not working something else is you know we got a very explosive offense you know I'm never surprised we got great athletes we got a great quarterback we got a great quarterback room I think every Mo I mean that's me that's just amazing so there's a lot of depth over there so you never really worry about just want go out there you know some days we're going to have days we don't do well some have days they well so we just got to be a to I know A lot's been asked you and I also want to talk about Jo a lot with him he's moved around quite a bit um his performance today when he was on the field he was leaving in yeah did you see him his reaction to place yeah uh yeah Jay Walker like I love being out there field and uh I made a joke that uh the sack that we were both on his mine not his so uh somebody put down on stat she is M appreciate that but um no just just to see his growth and his talent his passion for the game you can like you said you can see it on the field so uh I love being out there with a guy like him that you know when I go to work he's right there with I know the
