Quote of the day
“At first, it was mainly just about introducing ourselves. Later on in the day, we started talking about how Miami’s defense is similar to Penn State. We watched a lot of clips from Penn State’s defense because it’s not really going to change all that much. I liked how he broke down their defense.”
