We battled. Our defense was the best it's been. That's really been our emphasis.

I don't think he's going to be able to play. We'll see, but he couldn't even get out of the bed. He's a big part of us. We need him, he's our best defender.

It was a very good team effort for us. I don't know where to start on the guys who contributed. Everyone stepped up. That's one of the best teams year after year in the country that we beat.

It's turned out to be the best league for everybody.

The quality of teams in this league is outstanding. It's the best conference in the country. No one is even debating that anymore. We used to say it in recruiting and somebody would say, 'Well, maybe the ACC.' Nobody is questioning it anymore.
