On the rough game
Yeah, terrible. Fifteen penalties. Duke did a lot of good things. I got to watch the tape. It was just a rough day. Rough day by everybody. We're all in it together, and we'll work hard to do better.
On any adjustments they tried that didn’t work out
Yeah, I mean, it was a bad day. It was a bad day by everybody, and we have to regroup and start getting ready for Florida State
tomorrow.Was the team not prepared?
I don't know. I didn't do a good enough job, Graham. I did not do a good enough job of getting them prepared to play.
On defending Nate Sheppard
He's a great player. Great player.
On message in the locker room
It's a message that stays in the locker room, and hopefully we'll be able to rebound from it, but it's up to the guys
in the locker room. And that's everybody, players and coaches alike. We're all in it together. No finger-pointing. Rough day for Boston College football.
On whether it was ineffectiveness by the offense or domination by Duke’s defense
I felt like Duke did a great job. I really do, and give a lot of credit to Duke. They're a very good defense, but we had a lot of self-inflicted penalties and mistakes. We got to regroup. We got a lot of season left. We realize how bad it was today, and we got to get moving on to the next game.
