"I dropped to the ground because I was so emotional when I saw him make that touchdown," Debbie told WXYZ. "I've always been proud of him being the water boy, or as people call him the hydration manager, but this was incredible, he's Rudy tonight, he's Rudy."

Robby also made an appearance on WXYZ's Sports Cave to talk about what happened. There, he demonstrated his touchdown dance, which wasn't visible after the touchdown due to his teammates' overwhelming support.
