We needed this win very badly. It was probably a little surprising that it came in Miami as compared to some other places.

We felt like we could probably get it inside and needed to get it inside. Ryan struggled there a little bit, but our guys did what we asked them to do tonight.

Our guys know it would count probably more than one [win] psychologically if we got it. It would count more than one in a lot of ways right now, any of these in this [upcoming] stretch.

I still feel like we have to get that win at Miami.

That's between the University of Miami and the conference. They're probably going to say, 'Hey, what do you want to do?' But it won't make a lick of difference what we say.

But I do think overall they are probably more creative in finding ways to win and supporting each other -- offense, defense and special teams. It's a balanced football team because we can look a lot of places for people who will win this game.
