Puyallup quarterback Noah Smith discusses rivalry win over Sumner

All right, here's Noah Smith, big Puyallup win. Just first of all, I mean, what's it mean to you guys? I mean, that's the team that ended your season last year. Yes, sir. To be able to kind of get back this year, what's that one mean to you guys? I mean, we crossed that game right away after we lost last year. Man, we sort of choked. Everyone on social media said we choked and all this and that, but we just keep stacking days, and this is a big one for us. They kind of kept coming back and scoring, but you guys just answered every time. Yes, sir. How much did you feel like, hey, you know, they can keep scoring, but we're going to go back down. We've got a good group of guys. We've been working all offseason together. Coach Ross, he's got a great team over there, so we know they're going to fight back. We've just got to win that at the end of the day. With Brighton out, Malcolm had a number of good runs. What have you seen from him just kind of making the most of his opportunities? Man, he's kind of like the number two guy instead of like the 1A, 1B. So he for sure had a chip on his shoulder. Social media was going a little crazy saying that he couldn't run for so long. He didn't have the stamina, but he picked it up and balled out tonight, man. You had a number of design runs as well, kind of just right up the gut. What did you see from their defense that kind of gave you an idea that some of those might be available tonight? Yeah, when we went empty, nobody ran it on them. So when we went empty, we were like, let's see how they line up. And they only put four in the box, so we were like, let's run it up the gut. You guys have had a number of really good tests this year. This is kind of the latest one. Where would you kind of assess where this Puyallup team is right now? Man, I mean, last year we didn't really play any great teams the first three weeks, This for sure battle tested us so we don't we just keep stacking days keep grinding and we just get better every day
