CFTV: Rocco Becht & Myles Purchase on Iowa State's Cy-Hawk win

yeah um honestly the drive before that um I kind of missed a throw um I didn't progress on second down and then um I had to throw it away on Third and so I just needed one more shot because I knew we had something left in the tank and I just trusted my guys trusted the process um ultimately we came out what did you think of when Kyle runs out there um I I told him right before he walked out there I was like this it's just like practice because he hitss all the time and practice um and he has no doubt so I just tried to clear his mind U make him seem like it was practice and he he got the Coach Campbell talked a lot about can learn a lot from you guys as as players what are you guys doing keep talk today in the rest of the country say uh I mean I don't say I wouldn't say we taught him but I would just say keep believing uh I mean I feel like we always had that mentality that just keep going keep playing like what we say on defense is Ben don't break and I feel like uh he had the faith in us do that today yeah same thing um I think just having the Poise and uh the competitiveness and the confidence to just keep going out there at each Drive uh especially for them U just keep playing football and having trust in one another um I think Coach Campbell just learned something they just trust and uh stay loyal to each other um and that's what he told us so how much more of the game plan did you guys actually get to in the second half because of the way the first half was with all the field position and pre- snap stuff going on yeah um we expanded a little bit we wanted to be more aggressive in that second half because we thought we were pushing the ball in the first uh just couldn't get over those little humps to pre- snap operations um couldn't really get past the 50 yard line so we kind of had to Pivot a little bit um but you know we kind of Dre we drew up some plays as well and what whatever was was working against that defense and um uh it ended up paying off Roo what was your mindset after throwing that interception you know AB going on second half you really guys turned it around was your mindset going through the rest of the game after that pick yeah um I kind of just didn't think anything of it um I've been there before um honestly I I didn't see the guy passing by but um you know that's where you're that's where you're going to see just guys all round and Tempo I mean I got to do a better job of seeing the field and so um I just kept my poise uh throughout that game and trusted my teammates and trusted the coaches to put me in the best situation possible mats you played a big part of keeping that game at two possessions in the first half what do you say to your teammates on defense and how were you guys able to come out in the second half when perform the way you did right I mean I would saying it's a collective effort uh man we got to the Red Zone a couple times there and like I said earlier in the first question his Ben don't break when you get to the Red Zone we got to always try to hold him to three getting the touchdowns and I feel like we were really good at doing that today and it paid off in the end Dar Ste Darion have moment like that someone who's who's been with him for a long time how how special is that man that's my God Daren it's crazy I mean like y'all know probably he came a receiver and in my freshman year I used to guard him all the time and he was tough to guard a receiver and just to see him be able to do this uh in his senior year his last year and be able to perform like this is something special for sure hey Roco a coach touched on on that route to jayen that went for 30 yards kind of uh get into that a little bit kind of what you saw in that and I mean looked like Jaylen run r a great route on that as well just take me through that he did um we saw that they were in twom man uh for that drive and so after we hit him on uh the 10 yard outout the J we came back with a play that would kind of get a pick on his guy and uh he ended up just beating him with speed and uh I know that saf's H just taking off uh with Jaden and so I just try to give him a chance I try to put a ball out there for him to go get it um and he did he did the rest of it take two more from these guys this series hasn't always brought out the best in Iowa State ter to how you perform what is a game like this how you start how you finish getting the win show about what your team is and what it can kind of become this season right uh I mean I just feel like honestly this team is really special uh We are family uh we love each other we love up on each other whenever we would get down in this game we knew and we knew in our hearts that we would be able to come back we know none of us got down on and I think that's a big uh growth from what we've had in the past since I've been here and I just feel like uh we're a family really you talking back on some of those Red Zone stops what's the mentality when you guys might give up a big play that puts your defense on the back end how do you guys kind of regroup and get prepared to make that stop uhhuh um uh our defense is made to be able to make stops like that uh Bend don't break I said it three times now uh I just think our defense is made for that uh we've been able to do that constantly and it show show up big today
