WATCH: Alignment Adjustment Led To Boone's Touchdown

NC State senior nickelback Shawn Boone met with the media after the 49-16 win over Furman.

---

What happened on the interception?

They got a big play off of it [earlier in the game]. The first play I was tight in my alignment, so upstairs they told me to loosen my alignment up so I could see it.

I just let him cross... it was the same play they ran earlier in the game.

Justin Jones and Darian Roseboro did a good job. Justin tipped it a little bit. He almost took it from me.

You want to get that pressure from the defensive front.

Right. That's real big for us.

What goes through your mind when you see it's clear and know you're going to reach paydirt?

First, catch the ball. Catch the ball and look it all the way in. That's something I've been working on a lot, catching the ball and seeing it in.

I'm just trying to not let the past catch up with me again so I can keep helping this team win... be that playmaker everyone knows that I am.

Does your mind go blank when you're running it in?

I looked to my right and looked to my left, make sure no one was on me.

When was the last time you scored a touchdown?

Probably my freshman year in high school, playing quarterback, option quarterback.

What was the celebration?

I was trying to think of one, but I was just soaking the moment in. That's why I kind of set there.  It was something I've been working my butt off for and now I finally got it.
