Kiko:
“We have a lot of talent, man. One thing that stood out to me from this defensive line is how deep it is and these guys are willing to put in all the work, lay it all on the line for the defense. These guys are getting in their playbooks, working on staying extra, doing some extra work. I’m excited to play behind these guys and work together to stop offenses.”
“Throughout fall camp it was at a high level of competition, everyone competing at a high level, defense and offense,” Mauigoa said after Miami’s Friday practice. “Now it’s time to shift our focus to our opponent. All that preparation from fall camp going at it with the offense, it prepared us mentally and physically, created a lot of good chemistry between us. Everybody is at the right place, in the right mindset to practice and prepare for the upcoming game and be able to put on a (good) performance.”
