bit chip last losing time virginia year
I think so. They're very hungry. They're disappointed by that game. Any time you lose, a little like us last year losing to Virginia Tech, we had a little bit of a chip on our shoulder. And I could see that being the same way with LSU.

business fly less obvious radar stellar win

I think we are unique, ... If I'm a kid I'd say 'Let's see, I've got great weather, great facilities, I've got a chance to play in the NFL and I am going to graduate and I've got a chance to play for the national championship.'
answered defense pressure questions
I think we answered a lot of questions about our quarterback. Their defense put a lot of pressure on him, but he never rattled.
andrew both definitely expect experience guard help rotation
I think (Tella) can help us, just from his experience. He definitely can help us out. I expect Andrew to be in the rotation also. Andrew is smart, he can play both guard positions.
decision performance personally tough university
For me, personally and professionally, it was a very tough decision. But it's a decision that had to be made. Our performance has not been up to expectations at the University of Miami.
