At the beginning, it was a little shaky. That's to be expected with new guys in there. You don't expect them to be all-stars off the bat. Once we settled in, I thought we did a really good job. ... It was just two plays. They cost us 14 points.

That's them being selfish. I don't care. As long as my teammates aren't rooting for us to lose, I'm fine.

atmosphere creates edge great guys help miami others played playing tips work
One thing I want to see is guys under me and who played with me be very successful. I work out at Miami and when I'm down there I'll tell them things I know and give them tips to get that little edge to be successful. When it comes down to it we're a family, so when the Hurricanes are playing well I'm happy. When I was at Miami I had Nate Webster and Micheal Barrow help me out. That creates a great atmosphere and I want to help others out.
