This is a huge uplift for our team. It could be the kick-start to our season.

You can't really worry about who's lined up on the other side. If we go man-to-man, we can match up against anyone in the country. So if we go out and execute and do what we're supposed to do, then we will win.

You can't worry about the outside pressure. But you also have to realize this is kind of a make-or-break game.

I don't mean to say anything bad about Florida State. But I don't think the better team won.

I think about it at all times of the day, ... It's definitely sunk in. I'm accepting the challenge, I can't wait to get there and I think we're going to be ready.

I guess you could say (you're) licking your chops. But it still comes down to execution. We want to get better each game, so once we get into those bigger games, we're clicking.

I'm tired of working out. We've been putting in a lot of work over the summer and guys are feeling great. I think we're really ready to put on the pads and get going. And once Saturday comes, I think all that hard work is going to show.

I'm fully confident that I'll be able to play. I can play through it.

I'm fully confident that I'll be able to play. It's really just an issue of getting as much treatment as possible over the course of the next couple days, really just sucking it up and dealing with the pain -- which isn't a big deal.

I kind of felt like I was back in high school, running around and trying to run people over, ... I haven't done that in a couple years.
