I really anticipate it being a defensive struggle. That's why I enjoy it. It's Virginia Tech-Miami. We're former Big East rivals and now ACC rivals. It doesn't get any better than that.

It's a great honor to get a shutout. They're so hard to come by these days.

Teams are remembered by their last game. Our last game, we lost to Florida State, so we have to get that bad taste out of our mouths and go out there and do our job.

beat behind guy offensive taking
I don't want to get beat by the offensive lineman, and I don't want the guy behind me taking my job.
