added caught coming fell florida hard late league member normal punish teams
We have some say. Florida State, that's not a normal situation. That was added late in the process. Clemson fell as it fell with the 12th member of the league coming in. We and other teams were caught in a hard spot. It's not anything the league did to punish us.

That was an extremely disappointing loss. Special teams really, really let us down tonight.

It's great to end the season with a win. But again, we've got new resolve. We hate to end the season with three losses, that taste in our mouth. It's an opportunity to come back and really get back on track and again be one of the elite football teams in the country. That's what we expect.

confidence encouraged frank fun knees major playing reason unless year
I've really been encouraged with Frank and what he's done. He's having a lot of fun and playing with a lot of confidence. I really see more confidence in his knees now than I did a year ago. From what I've seen, unless there's a major setback, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't play.
gets hot spirited
It was a little spirited today. It gets hot and tempers flare a little bit.
body covering good great guy pleasantly smaller surprised switching
I've been pleasantly surprised with him. He's done a great job. I thought he could be a good player, but the way he handles his body ... he's a big guy and he's out there switching his hips, being able to maneuver, covering smaller receivers. I've been very impressed.
