So, a talented football team, we are preparing for the game. He’s been here three years and you’ve seen his tenacity as a player and as a defensive coach. They’re at the top, you know, in almost every defensive category, they’re a top team and they’ve got a really good quarterback. He throws the football well and uses his feet well. What he does and what he can do, he’s probably a little more designed quarterback than we are.

We’re excited to be playing in Mercedes-Benz, excited for our fans to be there, excited for our student body to be there, and, you know, to see the outcome of the game a few miles away. I’m excited to be a part of it. This game. And I know they will. We are so excited and can’t wait to go and play. There’s a lot to do between now and then.
They have good players and a good scheme. These are not very complicated plans. They have enough admiration for the parts of their plan that look the same, rather than blitzing, applying pressure, or tweaking their coverage. But at the end of the day, they’re going to line up and play four downs and then do man coverage and challenge you at the receiver position and make you throw in time and try to limit the run game in the box. Includes a spare hat. And they got good players to do it. Obviously, the head coach is the defensive coach, but we have one of the best defensive coordinators in the country, and Al Golden calls the defense. And, you know, I don’t know him personally, but people that are very close to me that I respect very much and that I know played for him, that he was Know what type of coach you are. Then you see their tenacity and defense, and you learn that character as well. ”
