If you haven't heard by now, LaDainian Fields leads ALL of college football in interceptions. That is an awesome individual achievement, but it wouldn't happen if the defenders around him weren't doing their jobs.

Mo Horn is the corner opposite Fields, and think of it this way: If Horn wasn't doing his job, the other team would just throw at him all day, and LaDainian would never get opportunities. So, the interceptions from Fields are also a pretty big compliment to Horn. Opposing offenses can't simply ignore Fields and pick on Horn's side of the field.

Another thing about Mo is that he's done a very good job tackling, and that's no surprise. He's always prided himself on that part of the game, and it shows.

Can OSU Beat Texas Tech? | Dalton Wasserman Joins The Roundup for Unfiltered Analysis
When asked what he was like as a kicker in High School, Drew Mestemaker said
 "I mean, I just kind of went out there and kicked it, I guess. I didn't really analyze it." 

That's absolutely AWESOME!

Mestemaker, as we know, is known for his ability to process information at an elite level. And analyzing the offensive concepts to the point of mastery. So, to see this side of him was really fun. 

He also went on to talk about how cool it is that he gets to live and hang around his good buddies on this team, and how that process away from football helps this team on the field. 

Today was a fun chance to get to talk with Drew, with it being a little less about football being on a Tuesday Media Availability. And every layer you peel back is equally as impressive as the one just peeled. 

Perfect mix of complete dedication, but not taking things so seriously that you forget to enjoy the ride. 

Enjoy this young man while we have him, because he's a generational type of player.

Coach Morris spoke about what this week is like for him, having so many good friends on the other side. He either coached with, played with, or is best friends with a bunch of the Tech staff, so there is bound to be some of the brotherly effect. Meaning, ya' love the guys, but you don't ever want to let them beat you.

Bottom line is, as Coach says in the video, it's two good clubs, it's gonna be under the lights, a big-time setup, and ALL of THAT is what will win the day once the ball is kicked off.
