On his experience playing Pitt has a head coach and how he was able to attack on offense
“In some ways, you’ve got to be patient. You’ve got to be able to create big plays in the run game and pass game. It’s a physical football game. The difference in the game between the two years in particular was the turnovers early, and not taking advantage of some of the opportunities. In 2019, we started extremely slow and there were some things we could have controlled on offense and some things that they did too. We made some adjustments over the course of the game and started to make some plays. It’s a good football team in all three phases, but on the defensive side of it, veteran, physical front seven. Their safeties do a great job in run support. You’ve got to be able to create some seams and make some big plays. It’s going to be man-press on the outside. You’ve got to be able to make some one-on-one plays.”
On any players affected by COVID
“Our COVID situation, guys are continuing to do a pretty good job inside of the building and outside of it, too. Our vaccination rate continues to climb – we are above 85 percent. You just want guys to be safe and take care of themselves, take care of their families and take care of their team.”
