He says the game is slowing down for him, and compared to App State, he feels much more comfortable with what he's seeing from a play to play basis.

He adds how difficult it is to process college offenses, and then another thing to digest it on the field on the fly.

Brown says that Swinney was consistently challenging the group all week, and it translated to a strong week of practice and then the win on Saturday.

Brown says he's already found a leadership role on this defense, helped by guys like Barrett Carter bringing him along the way.
Something he's trying to learn is leading the defense, being the "quarterback" on that side of the ball.

Williams says they had to really search within themselves and ask how the rest of this season was gonna play out.
The early theme of today has been the will to prevent another loss.

Mindset and the will to be a good teammate, and picking those around you up is the way Williams says will define them the rest of the way. He says they keyed in on that positive energy, which was crucial in VT.

"Having that awareness for me, and also having an OC that's tearing me up. He's being real to me. Just to realize that myself or to be criticized by a coach, you can't take it personally. It only makes you better."

Klubnik says he's recognizing things quicker, especially his mistakes, and that he won't be a mess about it. He wants to embrace it, and see how he can get better.

Klubnik says that on his TD to TJ Moore, VT played perfect defense against an option play where he was set to run up the middle, but had to escape to the outside, breaking the sack and finding Moore.

Cade Klubnik says Elyjah Thurmon's performance Saturday was "ridiculous."
He says to do what he did on short notice against the VT pass rush was very impressive.

Briningstool says that Pittsburgh is a good defense that hangs their hat on stopping the run, and that they have to match that physicality.
