A lot of things we can still clean up. We're not near where we need to be. We will focus on our weaknesses this week, try to get better because we got a talented Miami football team coming in here, coming off a big-time win against a talented North Carolina State team.
Manny is coaching his tail off down there. You see that of the kids, the way they play. I think maybe they fell into it by mistake, an outstanding quarterback, Tyler Van Dyke, kid from Connecticut, is a player. He's really, really good. Our defense is going to have to play really good.
They have speed all over the field, receivers to throw to. Seems every game he gets more and more comfortable throwing the ball. Shoot, 11 of his first 12 plays against North Carolina State were passes. They're running it with Knighton, who is a great tailback, as well, one of the best tailbacks to come out of South Florida. Could have gone to Alabama, a lot of places. He taken over that role. He takes a wheel route, no one ran with him for a big touchdown last week.
Again, really impressed with the quarterback. Rhett Lashlee, offensive coordinator, has done a great job. Manny is running the defense. They have speed everywhere again on that side of the ball. They're going to mix it up from four down to three down.
We'll have a big target on our back. People will be coming after us. We'll get Miami's best game. We got to be prepared to go, have a great week of practice.
Just a little background on TVD, Mark Whipple, and Pat Narduzzi: Mark Whipple was the HC for TVD's grandfather at
University of New Haven. (Grandpa was AD). Mark Whipple was the first coach to offer TVD when he was at UMass.
Pat Narduzzi recruited TVD to Pitt and TVD visited there but before Mark Whipple was the OC.
