"Um, before we begin, I want to give all glory to God. Um, we fought hard out there, man. I know we didn't come out with the win, but we did everything we could to glorify him (God) in everything we did. That last play, I just got to again, execute it better. Kind of underthrown ball, but um it's a tough situation, you know. I should have probably got in the first time. I missed the cut before that, but you know, um it is what it is, you know, and thought I almost ran him down at the end and just got to execute better overall. You know, it kind of showed up throughout the whole game. You know, just hurting ourselves in situations where we could easily punch in for a touchdown or get a first down or just making it a lot harder on ourselves than it needs to be. Having a play like that going into half is, is not something you want to see, but ultimately, we came out in the second half trying to just turn it around and fought hard. Just again, the details what got us in that moment right there."

What's Going Well for Bishop

"I'm just being me, you know. The more and more I get comfortable in the offense, the more they give me the ball, you know, then I'm able to do what I do, you know, and I see my carries have been increasing lately and I'm making the most of them for sure. As you see, if anyone knows me through high school, man, the more I touch the ball, the better I get, honestly. So, um, just grateful for my offensive line. They're blocking their tails off, you know, they're creating holes for me is what it is. You know, the coordinator scheming runs that I'm comfortable with doing and just ultimtely getting the ball in my hand. You know, trusting the Lord, you know, um the slow start to the season with my carries and whatnot, but I just trusted in him, man, and he's provided me. So, I'm grateful, very grateful."
