Are you extra excited about playing Wake Forest, your hometown school?

When I play any Carolina school, it's just a big high for me just because I know a lot of people from home are looking at it.

What was it like against Syracuse when you and your brother Derek (a freshman linebacker) got on the field together for the first time since high school?

It was a family affair, I enjoyed it.

You actually flushed quarterback Perry Patterson and Derek sacked him; who gets credit for that in the family?

I give him credit for it. He got the sack. He got the guy down and that's the big thing.

Yeah, but did he credit big brother for helping?

He was just enjoying the time. We were just having a good old time about it because that was something we did in high school and it was good to see it again.
