Brian Calhoun Against Quotations

I don't think it surprised anybody on our team. Nobody gave us a chance. But we knew they were a little undersized and we could move the ball against them.

You can't prepare for the kind of speed they have. We try to simulate it in practice when we go (starters against starters), but you can't duplicate that speed and athleticism. We just have to come out quickly and play fast from the first snap to match them.

I know Florida State is probably as fast as anyone in the country. I've played against some of the better teams with a lot of overall speed, like Oklahoma, Kansas State and USC. And I definitely think North Carolina will be similar.
