It's going to be big. It's probably one of the biggest games in their history besides that Doug Flutie thing that I can recall. We're up for it.

A bright future for Florida State, I'll tell you that. It's our job as seniors to keep those guys composed and ready to play. I can't tell you how awesome that is. We haven't had freshmen like that in a long time come in and contribute right away.

When you are dealing with young men, period, you're going to make mistakes and you're going to have guys get injured. Our job as seniors and as coaches is to prepare the young guys that we have to step up. I think we have the athletes to get it done.

I'd like to go on offense fresh, but for the team I'll go out there and do it. We need a veteran guy back there to look after these young guys. If they kick it to me, I'm going to try and take it to the house.

We know they are going to make mistakes. We have two more weeks to get it right.

It's going to be tough. I told our defense to hold it down for us.

I'm quite sure we'll have a little fun. We have a lot of guys on the team from this area. I'm sure they'll take us out and show us things around here. But when it's time to take care of business, we're going to take care of business.

We had high expectations after the spring. It's frustrating but things happen on and off the field to players we counted on. But in life, mistakes happen. The first game will show the character of this team. We'll see if we can fight through the adversity.
