It was a heck of a ball game. Unfortunately we dug ourselves a big hole. West Virginia did a phenomenal job of jumping on us early, running the ball extremely well and took advantage of our turnovers. When we were down 28 I didn't know if anything good was going to happen.
I don't know how important it is if they are loud and jumping around. I think it is more important if they play hard and they play disciplined, and they have done that for the most part this season.
We have worked on it a lot. (Quarterback D.J.) Shockley just has great voice inflection. He's doing a great job of mixing up the cadence. I bet we're averaging three a game and maybe even more. We've gotten a bunch of people to jump offside just because of our cadence.

West Virginia did a heck of a job jumping on us. The only consolation is we didn't lay down and die.
I'm sure that's all being considered. I'm sure that's all being talked about.
I'm very disappointed and penalties for behavioral issues are going to be severe. Playing time is valuable to all players and it will be very limited to those who cannot conduct themselves in an appropriate manner.
I know the BCS games get a lot more attention throughout the bowl season. You usually get a lot more people talking about your game.
I know Ray was hurting bad, ... The trainers were working on him before every (series), basically. But he refused to stay out of the game.
I know that quarterback can run like a deer, that's for sure. Shockley's not quite the runner that he is. Shockley's athletic, but we won't have as many designed quarterback runs for him. A lot of that is because it's really not his nature and the other part is that we wanted to try to keep him healthy this year.
I'm really pleased with what they've done in the clutch. Field position, momentum and points. That's what those guys have meant for us.
Everyone knows his name now, but no one knows the blockers,
Everyone knew who David Pollack was, David Greene was. National-name guys. I don't know if we have a headliner on our team. We have a bunch of guys who are playing real hard, and together we've done a nice job.
It was his first start in a hostile environment, and he did pretty darned good.
