 I'm Kelsey Rothaus and welcome to Behind the Hype with CalTV Sports. I'm here with our starting quarterback, Davis Webb. Davis, thank you so much for being here. Thanks for having me on. Gotta start with the Texas game. You led the team to an incredible upset. Texas was ranked 11th in the country through four touchdowns, no interceptions. And Texas is a team you grew up watching. Can you explain that experience for you, that home opener? Yeah, just being my first home game here at Cal. Seeing the student section, seeing the band, seeing the fan base, how much passion they do have for the athletic program here was unbelievable. And it's something I'd never forget, you know, a student section, you know, the fans rushing the field after the upset win. I was really cool memory, I'm gonna share with my teammates forever. And, you know, obviously watching Texas growing up as a kid, being from Texas, idolizing that program for so long, having a chance to play in it for the first time in my college career, and then beat them was a pretty cool thing to have and be a part of my teammate. So I'm very excited about that. And coming into Cal must have been a little intimidating, your graduate transfer, you're following the number one draft pick, Jared Goff. And you're in Berkeley, which couldn't be more opposite to Lubbock, Texas, where you were at Texas Tech. When would you say you first felt welcome here at Cal and on this team? I would say my first workout here, you know, being from Lubbock and being from Dallas is complete 180 here compared to Berkeley in the Bay Area. So it was a different environment for me, different culture shock. I embraced it, I embraced the culture, I embraced everything around me, embraced the food, I really enjoyed that part of this area. But my teammates are the best part, honestly, I see the work ethic and the motivation and the drive they do have, which is the culture that was instilled by Coach Dykes and his staff. That's one reason why I chose this school a lot is to see my teammates and see how much hard work they put in, how much motivation, how much they care about academics and caring for each other. It was a really cool thing that most colleges don't have. Yeah, and clearly you've clicked with the team well right away. I mean, after eight weeks of being here, you were voted one of the team captains, how have you embraced that leadership role so far? That was the greatest honor I've ever seen in my life, being here for eight weeks and not having everyone on the team understand my whole background, my whole identity. I just tried to show my hard work and try to get to know everybody on this team personally, hang out with everyone at least once outside of football. Get to know them on and off the field was one of my goals and I think I did that. And you seem especially close to Chad Hanson on the field, you guys certainly click really well. And off the field, you guys room together during away games, what not. Was that chemistry there right away, right when you met him? I believe so. He shares pretty similar work ethic abilities that I have. That's one thing I know about Chad, he's one of the hard sports team. The first day I got here at Berkeley, I texted him first and said, hey, what time do you want to throw? Because I knew he'd watch this pre-practice and talking to the coaches that they believed he was going to be pretty good this year. And once we threw our first goal passes, I think we both knew that this was going to be a pretty special year. And I hear Dykes and a lot of your teammates talk about how intensely you study game strategy more than maybe any other player they've seen. And I know your dad's a coach, maybe down the line, is that something you'd also think about? No doubt, I think my dad and my mom were both great division one athletes at the college level. And I think that their hard work kind of rubbed off on me. They told me at an early age that your effort and your toughness is something that you can control, you can't control many other things. So you might as well be good at those two things. So being a coach's kid growing up, now I want to be after my football career is over, will that be tomorrow or in 20 years? I want to be a college football coach. You got to start the season at Cal in Australia, which is also such a great experience. And you boldly tweeted out to Margot Robbie, who's from Australia, like, hey, come to the game. Now sadly, I don't think she was able to attend. But did you get a response or a favorite or anything? A couple Australians that came to the game told me that she lives in Great Britain. Oh, lover. So she couldn't go to the game. That was their excuse. It was something that we watched Suicide Squad as a team two nights before the game. So I was feeling lucky. I got tweeted out. Maybe she'd go to the game and our teammates would get pretty fired up, but she did not come to the game. So I guess we have to play better. Yeah, you never know. Maybe she'll make a trip out here. That'd be pretty cool. That'd be a pretty good goal to have. Well, thanks so much for being on the show, Davis. You really appreciate it. Thanks for having me. Go Bears. Go Bears.
