Selvish Capers
On playing at Auburn
It is going to be a great game. They are a good team. We beat them last year, but they have had a year to recuperate and rebuild, so it is going to be a big game, plus, it is at Auburn. They are doing it for their home crowd so we have to just go out and play Mountaineer ball.
I believe it is going to be one of the largest crowds I have ever played in front of. I heard their fans really get into it. I think it is going to be a really good environment to have a football game and I am excited.
We prepare for it (the crowd noise) everyday. On Thursday’s, they blare the music during practice.
Bradley Starks
On today’s practice
It went really well today. We all went out and competed. We were physical with one another and we just had a good practice.
On playing Auburn on the road
It is going to be a tough environment. They are a team coming off two wins and they have a lot of momentum on their side. We just have to go in and stay focused and play.
I think the crowd noise is a concern everywhere you go. Especially at Auburn, because it is a Saturday night game and there is going be a big crowd. We just have to prepare mentally for it and just try to survive it.
Najae Goode
On Saturday’s biggest challenge
The biggest challenge is to stay focused. We are going into a big environment and all of the SEC schools have a big crowd environment. So our biggest challenge is to go down there and play Mountaineer football.
On WVU’s biggest weapon
If our team stays together and we play what coach Stewart calls Old Gold and Blue Mountaineer football, and that includes our offense and defense, it will be hard to stop us. We will just have to keep it up throughout the game.
On the environment for this weekend
We just have to show up. Those environments are big, but those are the kinds of players that we want to play in as college football players. It is really exciting for me.
