Finley: "It's Pretty Special"

NC State senior quarterback Ryan Finley met with the media after the Wolfpack's first practice of fall camp.    


You are kind of in charge now.
We went through the spring so we had, we had a new team going into the spring, but it's fun when the young guys get out here... there's a whole different approach as a veteran, kind of making sure you bring those guys along.

As a quarterback, how comforting is that to have quite a few guys back?
It's everything. It makes it a lot more fun.

Like you said, we've got so many guys back from T and Tyler and Garrett up front and obviously our weapons in the wide receiver room.

So it was pretty special, just get out in here and just kind of all feel that summer work come to fruition... that chemistry we've been able to build.

How would you describe the chemistry now with those wide receivers?
It's pretty special to be honest. It's nothing like I've ever been a part of with a sports team for sure. Just kind of how me, Steph, and Kelvin communicate with each other... nonverbal.

Just kind of knowing what we want out of each other on a certain play. That's pretty special. That's what makes it fun for me. I think that's what makes it fun for those guys too.

What have you seen from your offensive line?
The great thing about it is, those two guys, Fedd and Witt, have played a lot in games... with Fedd playing in the bowl game and Witt starting the first two games... that's a big deal.

What do you try to get out of the actual practices?
Well, I think there's always things personally I can work on. I like sending guys texts... what I like... just kind of look through Drink's eyes during fall camp.

Kelvin is pretty serious about having a big year. From my eyes he looked good.
Yeah, those guys are primed and ready to roll. There's no stop in those guys.  They'll be up there watching film here in about 10 minutes. Those guys are excited. They're hard workers and they just can't wait.

You set some lofty goals for yourself.
That's my goal. That's my heart. That's what I truly believe. I think I haven't nearly played my best football in college yet. I'm excited to kind of just keep growing.

With where our team and our offense is at and all... this is the opportunity for me to personally achieve with all the weapons around.  We have an offense that can be pretty special.
