Q. Compare Minnesota to Phoenix, Arizona.
QUARTERBACK TANNER MORGAN: Polar opposites. We love and embrace Minneapolis and playing in cold weather. Being here in Phoenix is a nice change-up, the sun, the desert. It's definitely nice. We are thankful to be out here. It's a great bowl. We are grateful they selected us, being able to come here early.
Q. As you look at the film and at the team meetings, what do you think this game will come down to?
TANNER MORGAN: It always comes down to execution. It's a very simple fact. It's just kind of how the game of football goes. We are playing a really good opponent. A team who plays really hard, they do a lot of different things defensively that will make it challenging for us. That's what they have done all year. They have done a great job of doing that.
At the end of the day, it comes down to executing and taking care of the ball, finding ways to make explosive plays and really executing each and every play. To put yourself in that position and give yourself a best chance to win, that's all it is.
Q. Are you a baseball fan? You are playing in a baseball stadium.
TANNER MORGAN: It's cool. I actually played in Cleveland when I was in middle school.
Weird -- way back in the day in 7th grade, playing in the junior league. I played there. It was cool so I'm excited to see it.
Q. How did you do?
TANNER MORGAN: I don't know if there's video or not. Back then, it was a high school All-American
game. I played on CBS. I was a part of that. A lot of good memories from that.
Q. How do you feel getting a prime-time spot here elevates what you want to do after college and continuing to play?
TANNER MORGAN: Absolutely. Just at the end of the day, it all comes down to getting a chance to play football. For us, we have a lot of guys that have lived through a lot of things together, through four, five, six years. It's one more opportunity together. That's what it's all about. We're excited to get the chance to play together and play as a team one more time.
A chance to win a bowl game is pretty special. We're excited to do that because being a part of a football team, the memories, the bonds you make with guys, it's really special. Each and every team every year is different. So this team is unique in a lot of ways. To be able to play a game of football one more time with those especially, is special.
Q. Does Coach [PJ] Fleck still talk about row the boat?
TANNER MORGAN: We row the boat every day and every moment. That's always our philosophy.
