Coach Schnellenberger
The Orange Bowl and the Shula Bowl
This is still a major battle. It will be a very physical and important game for both of us. If you think of the Grand Ole Lady and at games end there will be time to think about the venue and give it a proper send off.
Are you competition with FIU on the recruiting trail yet. You didn't cross much before?
We don't know yet. They were behind schedule last year. He will have his coaches spend a lot more time down here than Don (Strock) did.
Senior Linebacker Cergile Sincere
Fans I have seen more fans travel this year than ever before. I see them bonding as a group. We heard them at Florida. They made good noise.
What does it mean to play this game?
We are taking it as a playoff game. We have to go in and take the game early. They will give it their best effort because of the rivalry. You put the rest to the side and play because of the rivalry. For us it is important because we know if we lose we will be home for the holiday.
This game has been crazy the last couple of years
I can't predict what will happen. I hope we go out and take care of business early because we have been playing overtime games and that is getting me old quick. I just hope we can go out and make plays on offense, defense and special teams. We know what they are capable of and hope that we can go out and play our best game.
Overlooking
No, not at all, we can't overlook anyone. All the marbles are in this game. They are different players, different staff and have a different style. We have to be prepared to do our part.
Concerned that they could end the season
They know they can take us out of the conference race. We just have to take care of business. It isn't about fun and games. Win - lose--or draw we have to come in and play.
Brandon Jackson
Excited about this game? Yes, I'm excited about every game. We can't go in and expect to win. It's a rivalry. Every year they come into the game ready to play. We have to be prepared to play.
Playing in the Orange Bowl
I'm very excited. I grew up watching the soul bowls.
This is an important game
We have to stay focused. FIU can beat us at anytime. We have to be on top of the game, this week and next. They know they can play with us. They will come to play.
