Q and A with Ahmad Black

Q: “What do you take from today’s performance?”

A: “We can’t get a big head. We’ve got to keep going.”

Q: “What did you guys know about the quarterbacks that made him look so bad?”

A: “He didn’t look (receiver) off as much as we expected. Coach told us that he was going to look wherever he would throw and he did.”

Q: “How much did today affirm that you belong at safety after playing cornerback last year?”

A: “I didn’t get much playing time at corner last year. I only played like two games. I like the safety position where I see more field.”

Q: “Talk about the touchdown run.”

A: “The first thing I wanted to do was get the ball. Once I got it I saw I had a little space and the defense did a good job at picking up blocks. I just followed them.”

Q: “You hear about your size a lot. Did today make you feel like you erased some doubts?”

A: “I’m kinda showing everybody that I can play even with my size. Coach Meyer is pushing me. I’m just trying to do well on the field.”

Q: “What does it do to an opposing offense when you return an interception for a touchdown?”

A: “It deflates them. When I got the second one for a touchdown that deflated them. Our secondary played well.”

Q: “Was it hard to sit and learn last year?”

A: “Yeah it was kind of tough. Watching the older guys was good. Now I look at the younger guys and know what they’re going through.”

Q: “Joe Haden said he has been around the Florida-Miami rivalry too much. How much do you know about it?”

A: “Oh I get it. It’s a big game. Coach said College Gameday will be here, it’s a night game and it’s in The Swamp.”
