They hung in the game as long we were going to let them. We put some good drives together, but we didn't finish them off. I don't think that score was really indicative of what it could have been. |
This is a huge uplift for our team. It could be the kick-start to our season. |
This is the type of game where you want to go in, refine the kinks, work things out and really work on the things we haven't been able to get done in previous weeks so we can go into the rest of the season fine-tuned. |
This is, I think, the best team possible that we could have played. I think it's going to be awesome, going up against LSU. |
This year's a new year, and we want to go celebrate on their field. |
We can't go in and make first-game mistakes that you'd get away with against a team of a lesser caliber. |
We don't come to Miami to play in the Peach Bowl. We come to compete for national championships. |
We finished strong and had a couple of scores. There was definite improvement. That's why we practice. There were some good things and some bad things. That's why we have nine more practices. |
We kept it really simple. We probably ran about 25 percent of the stuff we've been running, so it's not really a good indication of how the spring went for us. |
We kind of know there's a lot lying on this game. And we're going to go up, hopefully, play mistake-free football and get better. |
We know what type of players we have and we know what type of potential we have. If we go out and pass the ball successfully and run the ball successfully, I don't care what they say, they're not going to beat us. |
We owe those guys one. |
We played with a chip on our shoulder. I've been saying it for the whole week down there, if we come out and play they way we should, I didn't think they could play with us. |
We want to go out and get better each game no matter if it's Duke, Temple, Georgia Tech, North Carolina or Virginia Tech. We just have to get the ball rolling so once we're into those bigger games, then we're just clicking. |
Well, I was counting on both of those (JV) kids. We have good varsity and JV kids at both of those weights, so I was really banking on that to happen. |
