And as much as we cover those things in the off-season, there are always going to be things that come up on game day that you haven't necessarily covered in the detail that you need to. Did any of those eight true freshmen you used the other day make a particu- lar impression on you, and would you be reluctant to use any of them again this coming weekend? No. Actually the opposite. I think I said that earlier. I think we probably should have played those guys more, not just the freshmen, but all those guys starting for the first time. And I'd like to see that again on Saturday. But as you know, we grade the tape, and some guy's play is going to warrant less reps and some guy's play is going to warrant more reps. I don't think there was a guy who really stood out in either direction, except for the guys who are already probably starting for us, like [Jake] Pinegar and [Rafael] Checa and guys like that. What do you see from Pitt quarter- back Kenny Pickett that you like? A couple of things. He is bigger than you think. He is much more athletic and mo- bile than you think. You've seen that time and time again. And then obviously he's been able to step up and play big in big games. So I think he's earned a lot of re- spect from us. I think he's earned a lot of respect regionally and nationally. He can make the throws that he needs to make. He's got enough mobility to keep you honest, knows things not only in the pocket, but also breaking the pocket. Seems to have a good feel for the game as well. So I've been impressed with him. I think he's just going to continue to get better and better the more he plays. And then there's going to be some things that come up in this game that we haven't prepared for. You know, if you look at Coach Narduzzi, he typically, just like he did last year against Youngstown State, plays very vanilla in game one and has some things that he's going to show in game two, and especially in a game like this, that he hasn't shown. So that's where you've got to trust your training and your fundamentals and your tech- niques and your rules, because there are going to be a few things that come up that we haven't seen or expected.
