“I was just comfortable with the guys around me being able to make plays,” Winters said.
With two of the three 30+ yard passes scoring touchdowns, Winters’ ability to connect with and understand his receivers was crucial to the success of the game.
“I’m confident in them that as long as I make the right read, they’ll make the plays,” he said.
For Chris Lorditch, the junior wide-receiver who caught the game-winning touchdown, it was his belief in Winters’s ability that made him confident that if he beat his man that the play was going to work.
“Collier put a ball to me, and it was just a great play,” Lorditch said.
The success from this year’s season, as well as the high note from this win, makes Winters hopeful for the year ahead.
“I think we’ll be in the hunt for it next year,” he said.
