mately try to make decisions that we think are in the team's best interest so we can play fast and be effective and be able to play at a high level for four quar- ters. With respect to UCF's quarterback, Pete DiNovo, is it tough to prepare for a quarterback when there is not a lot of tape or information? Yeah, or a new offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator – you don't truly know what to expect. You can go back and watch his high school recruiting tape and things like that. But more than that, you're really studying the tape from last year. What are the things they've done? What are their bread-and-butter plays? They're going to try to do some things to help him out – quick throws, screens – to get the ball out of his hand. If they can establish the run, that's going to help a young quarterback as well, so those are the things that you factor into without being able to watch a guy play in that offense and have game tape. It makes it difficult. That's why first games of the year can be a little bit of a challenge. With Akeel Lynch being back on kick returns and Jordan Lucas on punt returns, what do you like about having those guys back there? When you have the running back depth that we do, you want to make sure that one of those guys is having an- other opportunity to get his hands on the ball. This is another way to get guys touches. Both of those guys are big, strong, fast, powerful guys who have played in games before. That is the thing that can be frustrating some- times. Everybody does their job on a kickoff return, but you just don't have the juice. You don't have somebody who has the juice to get through there and be able to take it. It's hard enough to score. So when you get an opportunity, you have to punch it into the end zone. Both of those guys give us the opportunity to do that. I think it helps that they're vet- eran guys. I think you'll also see [true freshman] Grant Haley as a kickoff re- turn guy as well. Central Florida has nine starters re- turning on defense. What do you see on film that they do especially well on the defensive side of the ball? I think more than anything, they play like a veteran team. They're fast, they're aggressive, they don't give up a whole lot of big plays. George O'Leary is, I think, one of the better defensive coaches around, and it's been that way for a long time with him. So I don't ex- pect a whole lot of new [schemes]. There will be a few new wrinkles that they'll do, that gameplan specific things based on our film in the past. But they're a veteran team. They're big, they're strong, they're fast. Coming from the state of Florida gives them an advantage because there are going to be some kids in their backyard who have come to camp and are maybe are under-recruited who are big-time players. Whenever you have 250 or 350 Division I prospects in your state, there are some built‑in advantages with that, and that's what you see across the board on their team. They have big, strong, athletic guys, and the experience allows them to play fast. A U G U S T 2 8 , 2 0 1 3 B L U E W H I T E O N L I N E .
