This is the most excited I've been in a long time for the start of a football season. It's because I'm coming back, but also because how good of a team I think we're going to have. Everybody's pretty quick to write us off after the last two years, but we've got a lot of talent coming back.

We're still trying to build our team and make sure our team is solid on all fronts. We don't want to neglect anything worrying about somebody else. We're shaping and forming a tough, gritty team right now and I hope we don't take away from that by just preparing for someone else.

He's done everything he can to be ready. He'll be just fine. Going against our defense is probably the best preparation you can have for going against a team like Florida State, because the athletes are very comparable and the schemes are just as complicated and fast.

I'm sure he didn't have a lot of good role models around him. I think a lot of guys took it upon themselves, especially the guys who grew up in that neighborhood, to ... show him how things are done around here. I think he's done just fine.

How did we lose this game?

Kyle Wright was a warrior.

It's a funny-shaped ball, and sometimes that ball doesn't break for you. But this is just the start.

Oh, they'll be there. And we'll be there.
