Zach Schmidt Iowa State Postgame

sooner scoop HD so we have to make sure that we're on our game so we can help complement the other two if they're not doing as great as I want to be I still think our defense and offense has done an amazing job this year and we've just been there to help complement them through it all um I mean Turks did a great job Casey's done a great job I mean for field goals for me it's just I mean like Justin Tucker said a couple weeks ago it's I'm a system kicker I mean those two are just excellent at their job Casey gets it back there perfectly twerk gets it down immediately and I know that Casey's done a great job snapping for turnip on puns so we've just done a great job overall as a unit and all the other pieces so the Gunners the snipers like the help block for turkey the blockers on field goal they're just an amazing job they've really bought into the system and I I mean I'm just glad that special teams has a huge emphasis and that we've been able to help complement the other two phases through the throughout the year yeah in addition to the touchdown you have the two field goals also in that person I mean in a game that was really close for a lot of it how big is it for you to have that kind of impact especially in the in the sport mode you know I'm just I'm just glad to be able to do whatever I possibly can to help the team I don't really care how far how many I get as long as I'm just doing my job and technique is fine and mentally I'm ready all I care about is helping the team out so I'm just glad that I had an impact that I was able to help get momentum for the team and just continue to complement the offensive defense coach Nunez the Special Teams guy he works a lot behind the scenes because he's not able to actually coach in meetings but schematically he's done a great job and not just with a fieldable face but with hunt a return kickoff kickoff return he's just done a great job this year with like skate with the schemes and just finding those holes and weaknesses whatever he can when you started working on this play was this back in the spring was it August this week it was bye week it was bye week so when we knew that Iowa state was coming in that we were going to come to Iowa State uh he had it drawn up he just kind of watched their Tendencies watched their scheme so he had drawn it up for the bye week we worked on it a little bit through the bye week and then a lot this week so to make sure that it was perfect when we were able to run through the game and at what point did you know you were going to be having to run the ball up the middle it's effectively against Iowa state was it right before going out there was it sometime this week it was when we went out there and the coverage was exactly what we were looking for we were looking for a specific amount of guys on the left and right hand side and that's the exact look that we got so that's when I knew all right it's ready to roll that word I'm running right through the tackles they go from the sideline or nope they they told us that when we when we were running out there if there was the right coverage to go with it and if not just check out and take it what was that coverage or what did you identify um just certain guys to the left certain amount of guys to the left-hand side sort them out to the right hand side I don't want to go through it exactly yeah bye week that you identified and Coach Nunes does a great job with those like Tendencies I would say so yeah sooner scoop HD
