ASSISTANT HEAD COACH/LINEBACKERS JOE VITT

“We had a good week of practice. Our guys were very focused and they wanted to get better from a week ago. We improved tonight. We improved on our tackling and we had much better poise on the field than we did a week ago against Jacksonville. We’ve got to be able to protect the ball better. Our team knows that and we will work hard on that. We still have to take the ball away a couple more times. If we do that, it will give us the chance to be the team we want to be.

“Our guys will have off tomorrow. We’ll watch the storm and see if we have to get out of town early to get to Tennessee.”

(on Cameron Jordan) “He’s going right along like you’re supposed to your sophomore year. He’s got the kinks out and he has a positive routine going. He’s in the (locker) room with a bunch of quality individuals. He is taking the game much more seriously. He came in ten pounds thinner. I think you see his quickness and quick twitch. I think he is doing a better job of anticipating the offensive formation before the snap and anticipating what the play is. I just think that’s the proper progression for a good football player like Cam is.”

“We’ve gone stretches of games here when we’ve not turned the ball over or not taken it away. It’s the number one stat in football. We’re undefeated when we haven’t turned the ball over. We’ve got to keep working on it. Chris (Ivory) had a tough hit on him. We still have to protect the football. If we do that, it’s going to serve us well.”

(on Junior Galette) “Junior’s maturity, he’s grown in this system. This system is really made for a guy like him. He’s got athletic pass rush ability. He can beat a lot of one-on-ones. He’s got tremendous stamina. He can put his foot in the ground and change directions. He is staying on course and working hard to be a good football player.”
