I think [the Georgia Tech game] helped this team grow up a bit. We bent but we didn't break.

I like the fact that he bent a little bit but didn't break. That's the whole issue. There was no big inning to be had. He stayed out of the big inning, and that is why he ended up getting the win. Pure and simple. I like the way he hung in there, and that's something for him to build on.

We threw the ball too much in the Georgia Tech game. That was my fault. We didn't stick with our running game, and it cost us in the long run.

Before the Olympic break he was struggling a little bit, as was the team. I think the break rejuvenated him. Knowing that Dom was injured and he was going to get some playing time helped him relax.

It was a great outing because he bent a little but he didn't break.

We want to go out and get better each game no matter if it's Duke, Temple, Georgia Tech, North Carolina or Virginia Tech. We just have to get the ball rolling so once we're into those bigger games, then we're just clicking.
