We're going to continue to hit the islands and make that a point of emphasis. We've got very good front guys out of the state of Hawaii, but this year a majority of our front guys come from in-state. It was an exceptional year in-state for front guys.

Recruiting is the most hectic part of the year. It is far more hectic than the season. You're on planes, trains and automobiles, running around the country trying to get these guys to come to your university. It's a big sigh of relief when those letters come over the fax machine, and you have them in the bank.
against challenge country defense georgia good great guys job line nice opportunity players quality ranked season tech
I don't think it's overrated. They've done a nice job on defense all season long. They're ranked No. 10 in the country (defending the run) because they've got good players and they play hard. But by the same token, it's a great opportunity for us and great challenge for our guys to line up against a quality defense like Georgia Tech and see what we can do.

We have a lot of guys who have not been in that situation, and I'm just anxious to see how they react.

Nothing lasts forever. One streak was not going to go to infinity, that's obvious.
anxiety defensive definitely departure far feeling routine stress
The feeling hasn't been different, but the routine has. It's such a departure from what I was used to as defensive coordinator. It's definitely different. But as far as the anxiety and the stress level, it doesn't feel different to me at all.
