I can say over the past five years, this is the best defensive collectively, even better than the year we won it all. We were younger on defense and lot of people played, 22 every game. To play that many guys and still run around and not have a letup, that's hard to do. I give credit to to all those guys. They're the ones getting it done.

You can't try to stop Marcus Vick. Vick will get his yards.

The other guys came in and they played well. Around here it doesn't matter if you're a senior or a junior or sophomore. It doesn't matter if you played well last year. You have to compete every day in practice.

The future's always bright at the University of Miami.

This is the best defense, collectively, because of our youth and the number of guys we're playing.

Devin will still be used on offense from time to time. On defense, he's got to learn a lot of schemes, a lot of sets. On offense, he just needs to learn seven or eight plays.

No, not really. This is about it. This is what it takes.

You can't change what you do because you miss one player in the game. The guy's taken reps in practice all year long. They have things that he can do and he's been there, so they're going to run their scheme. They may have little wrinkles here and there that we'll have the adjust to in the first quarter, and then get the rhythm of what they're doing.

He was more patient. The guys stayed calm, didn't take chances. We just did our job. We didn't get caught up in trying to stop the running back, the quarterback or the receivers, we just played defense.
