Opening Statement
“Today was our last day of finals. Our guys, along with our academic staff have done a really nice job this semester working to finish this semester off. I know they’ll be looking forward to probably tomorrow, there’s no school for them, so that’ll be the first time probably since June. It will be a little unusual for the next couple of weeks, but we’ll be good. Should be able to get some extra film and things in. I know they’re excited about this weekend. Had three really good days of practice and (we’re) ready to go to Nashville.”
