The first-year Eagles head coach spoke to the media after the victory.
The Boston College Eagles football team opened its season with a 28-13 win over the No. 10 Florida State Seminoles on Monday night.Below is a transcript of everything O'Brien said.
O’BRIEN: Yeah. I mean, you know, he's Florida State, then Kansas State. He's found a home here at BC he's a, he's a really, he's a grad, grad student, very bright guy, practices very hard, has a very business like approach to everything that he does, does a lot in the community, just like a lot of these guys do. So look, I think he's a good fit for BC. We wish we had him for longer.
O’BRIEN: Yeah, that was a drive. You're right. That was a drive where we had to answer. They were on a little bit of a roll there. And that's always a big drive. That type of drives big in every football, every close game I've ever been associated with, you have to have an answer drive and our guys did a good job. We ran the ball quite a bit on that drive, and I thought the offensive line really established themselves during that drive, and give those guys a lot of credit.
O’BRIEN: I thought he managed the game very well. He's a very dynamic player. I think the key for us this year with him, you know, in the off season, was to say, look, here's some things you can improve on, footwork, taking care of the ball, reading coverages, understanding, obviously our offensive scheme, protections and things like that. He's done a really good job of that.
O’BRIEN: I've spoken to a lot of guys in the offseason. I think pretty much every guy that you just mentioned, I've spoken to. Well Zay, I actually met when I was with the Patriots getting ready for the draft. We brought them in for a pre-draft visit, and all those guys are awesome. We have great alums at BC. I have great friends.
O’BRIEN: Yeah, look, I think it's a really good win. Zach. I'm proud of the guys. I'm very proud of them, but it's really just one game, really is like we have 11 games left, and we have to divide it up. We talk to these guys a lot about 12 one game seasons. That's how we have to approach it. I talked to him a lot about, it's not like baseball, where there's 162 games or basketball, there's 82 games hockey. 82 games in the pros.
