Bryson, I just asked Aiden the same question, but obviously everybody says the 24 hour rule, flush the last game. Was this game a little tougher to wipe away?
With it being Senior Day, of course we wanted to leave the field with a win. But like you said, 24-hour rule. We got a week to get prepared for the next game so that's what we're doing this week, getting ready for Louisville.

What's changed when Grant went out in this past game as far as having to reshuffle the line and having the responsibilities of everybody being able to know what they're supposed to do on the offensive line?
I wouldn't say it changed much, but like we say around here, it's the next man up mentality so you practice throughout the week like you're going to be the starter so when somebody does go down, you're able to step in and do their job, do their role well.

You've been blessed to play with great quarterbacks, whether Hendon Hooker or Devin Leary. What is it about the position? What do you see that these guys need to be to be a good quarterback?
Just executing the gameplan that the coaches give him. I've seen guys that, you give them great quarterbacks, they're able to take the gameplan and then take it to practice and eventually take it to the game and be successful with it.

Louisville has a pretty fast pass rush. What do you see with their defensive front and some of the things they're doing?
Me being the six-year guy, I’ve been the ACC for six years, so we always expect elite rushers up front. That's what we're preparing for this week. They have a great group up front. They get after the quarterback pretty well, so hone in on it in practice and take it to the game.
