BUCCANEERS RUNNING BACK PEYTON BARBER

Sunday, Dec. 1, 2019

(On what changes being up early in the game) “To me, it kind of makes it harder because you’re fighting that mental blockage to really relax. You need to keep the pedal to the metal.”

(On if he felt like he was going to get a lot of carries early in the game) “Honestly, I really didn’t know. My biggest thing is just being ready when my number is called. That’s all.”

(On if he felt the momentum building from early in the first quarter) “Like I said, we definitely got it rolling early. The biggest thing that we’ve got to work on is finishing down the stretch.”

(On if the locker room feel is different from a few weeks ago) “You can say that, yeah. Everybody has a chip on their shoulder. It feels like everybody believes the same thing – our record doesn’t show [we are] as good as we are.”
