Duke Coach Ted Roof from Tuesday's press conference on the advantage of having an off week:
"...we’ll take a relatively fresh football team
to Tallahassee on Saturday night. I also think that as much may come from just a couple days mentally of refreshing and refocusing. I’ve seen a lot of energy and a lot of enthusiasm on the practice field this week.”
On the defensive scheme for Saturday versus FSU:
“Even though it’s the same team, it’s two distinctively different offenses. They do things with Lee that they don’t do with Weatherford and they do things with Weatherford that they don’t do with Lee. Based on the comments we’ve heard, I expect Lee to come off the bench at some point so we have to work on all of it...but I think we’d be fools if we didn’t.”
DT Vince Oghobaase on defensing FSU:
“They do like to pass the ball. Like I said, we have to rush the passer and get after it. They’re going to big-on-big us and we’ve just got to get there. There’s nothing more to it, we just have to rush the passer.”
WR Eron Riley on how Duke’s receivers have prepared for FSU's defense:
“As receivers, we just have to run good routes and make sure we
know what we’re doing it. We need to read coverages because a lot of our plays are based off of reading their coverages.”
