Thursday Gene Chizik Post-Practice Quotes

Posted Aug 28, 2015
UNC defensive coordinator Gene Chizik: "The great thing about the first game is that it’s a great measuring stick on where you are. We’ll know on September fourth where we are at and where we need to be heading. I love these types of opening games. I think it’s exciting for the kids and it’s about them, not us coaches. I think it is an exciting opening game for our players and our fans." (Carolina Blue)
