Baker Goes 'Savage against #5 OBU', GAC Defensive Player of the Week

The Great Change: How do you and your teammates feel about pulling off the upset win on the road against ranked OBU?

Baker: We are just happy to make history but we don’t think it’s an upset because we knew we were better. We talked about it all week, especially with our strength and conditioning coach, Coach Fears, he stressed it all week.

The Great Change: You told us before the game that you felt like you guys were the better overall team, what part of the game do you feel that you guys showed that?

Baker: I feel we showed it all game. We came out on the first drive with a statement that they had to respect all game. We played all 4 quarters.

The Great Change: You recorded 11 solo tackles, with 3 of them for loss, 1 assisted tackle, a huge 3 Quarterback hits and a forced fumble, what played into your individual success?

Baker: Man, first off I want to say none of this was possible by myself. It took all eleven of us for this and I knew what I had to do to make plays against them, because they are a good football team. I stayed loyal to myself and my teammates and did what I had to do.

The Great Change: How do you feel about the momentum that your squad is now taking into the post season?

Baker: I feel great and I’m ready to make history with my team if /when we win this week. We will head into playoffs. I feel we can win it all if not make it to the finals. We have a great offense, with great coaches and players. Same on defense, but, when our offense is on fire, it’s a lot easier on us on defense.

The Great Change: Do you have anyone you want to shout out after such a huge win and week?

Baker: First I want to thank God as always, and my teammates, and coaches, my family.. [you] already know they are my motivation.
