A.J. Blue slams teammates for ‘lack of preparation’ and taking ECU lightly

Posted Sep 29, 2013
Asked straight out if he thought his team took ECU for granted, A.J. Blue answered with a single word. “Definitely.” He then expounded by pointing a finger at his teammates, saying “I just think our guys got complacent, and a lack of preparation killed us.” It also helped that the Tar Heels couldn’t tackle, cover a receiver downfield, protect their quarterback or keep from committing costly penalties.
