“One thing we need to do is just continue to make strides with our young guys. I thought we made quite a bit of strides from week one to week two and now what we have to do is continue to do that. I think one of the things you take a look at is – using Perry (Hills) as an example – the first week he had a tough week and the next week he bounced back and was ACC Rookie of the Week. With all of our guys, what we are striving for is to make improvements from week to week and work to get better. That’s what we’re going to do. We need to have a good week of practice. We’re playing a very tough opponent. When you take a look at their defense, they have seven seniors who start on defense and five of those guys are fifth-year seniors. They’re third in the country in scoring defense and total defense and first in the country in running defense. Offensively, they’re starting to hit their stride a little bit. Lyle McCombs is a very good running back: shifty, quick. Nick Williams is a receiver who can make plays. Geremy Davis is making plays for them. They have two very good specialists in Chad Christen and Cole Wagner and a dangerous return man in Nick Williams. We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us. We’re a work in progress. What we want to do is progress this week and get better. The way you do that is you go out and prepare the right way each and every week. I’m sure our guys will be ready today to do that. We just look forward to the opportunity on Saturday.”
