“We had a chance to really evaluate the film and break every aspect of it down and find our mistakes and find the things that we did well. We did a good job of evaluating a lot of kids because we played 67 kids in that game on Saturday. We made all of our corrections yesterday at practice and put the game to bed and started moving to San Diego State in the second half of practice. That’s what we’re doing today; game planning,” UNC coach Larry Fedora said Tuesday during his weekly news conference.

On QBs Marquise Willi” ams and Mitch Trubisky
When you really broke them both do wn, they played very similar. If you take away the three picks that we had, probably two of which should have been touchdowns. We don’t want them to happen obviously but if you take them away both Mitch and Marquise did a really good job with their decision making throughout the game with the things that we ask them to do as far as where to go with the ball. Also whether to hand the ball off or to throw it with the different schemes that we use. I thought that they managed the game pretty well, they really did. Marquise will be our starting quarterback. We will use Mitch as we need to throughout a game.

On WR Ryan Switzer
I think he did a good job. He’s trying really hard and sometimes you try too hard when you don’t have to; you just have to be yourself and do what you do. When I look at the punt return stuff I thought we were average, and I’m evaluating all 11 guys and the job that we have to do to make sure that he has good returns. His first one he went for 17 and he had one down the sideline that was a great return and then he had another one that he called everyone off their blocks and he picked up the ball and took off with a chance to score and I think the punter made the tackle there. We have to do a better job with the other 10 guys in that situation when he called them off, they have to react better than that instead of just standing and watching. So we will get better at that.

On San Diego State
San Diego State is going to be a better football team than Liberty in my opinion. They’re very similar to some of the things that we did last year. They started off last year very slow and then they finished really strong. Coming into this season they have a lot of confidence, feeling really good about where they’re at as a team. (Head coach) Rocky Long is going to do a great job, especially on the defensive side of the ball. It will be chaos on that side of the ball if it’s anything like its been in the past. He’s moving guys around, a lot of exotic blitzes and different coverages. It will be a test for us in that way. I know Bob Toledo is their offensive coordinator and Bob is a west coast guy. He’s coached a lot of football for a lot of years and he will do a tremendous job with the offense.
