LINEBACKER DAX HOLLIFIELD
On what this group of senior has meant to the program:
"It means a lot. That could very well be me out there this year if it wasn't for COVID. It means a lot, there has been a lot of time and effort put in by these men and I want to send them out the right way. So it is important for me to have a good game and get us on the right track this week and let those seniors go out with a good taste in their mouth."
OFFENSIVE LINEMAN LUKE TENUTA
On Boston College's offensive line:
"They're big guys. They're very strong. Ultimately, their size is really a huge part of who they are up front and they stay on blocks for a long time. For us, it's just going to make us stay disciplined, stay in our gap, and make the play when it comes to our gap."
DEFENSIVE LINEMAN AMARE BARNO
On how exciting it is to home and play for the seniors:
"This is really exciting because those guys put so much into this program. I just want to give it all for them."
WIDE RECEIVER KALEB SMITH
On how important it is this year to get back to a bowl:
"The goal is always to have as many opportunities as we can have to suite up with this team that we have right now. Weather that's a bowl or anything beyond that, it is to take it one game at a time and send these seniors out the right way."
DEFENSIVE LINEMAN JOSH FUGA
On how important it is to get to that 6-6 mark this season:
"It's pretty important. We didn't go last year, and I feel like that's a goal got us as a team to make it to a bowl game."
