McKay on midnight start vs. High Point: "We haven't had any [midnight practices]. We won't have one. We might practice late on Friday or Saturday, one or two days beforehand and then roll on out there. I think in a situation like this, there's so many unknowns..."
"I know I'm going to get the Sean McVay stuff if we don't come away with the desired outcome. But I would just tell you, sleep's important to us. And our guys are in a routine. They adhere to it. And I think there will be so much adrenaline and excitement the first game of the year. ... I don't think we have to worry about not being emotionally charged for the game."
Ritchie McKay on Zander Carter: "He's been fabulous. His leadership has been on a 10. He's been terrific. And I describe him a little bit like what [Josh] Hart is for the Knicks. He'll just do whatever you need. He's willing to do it."
Liberty's Ritchie McKay on facing High Point in the opener: "It's like taking a final in the first week of the school year. They're going to really pressure us. And I do think that will be good for us. The ability to have that kind of opponent that early in the season will tell us a lot about what we're not."
Liberty's Kam Davis on Jaylon Coleman: "Jaylon, that's like my best friend. That's my dog. I've seen him grow from the spring to the summer, not only body wise, but just in the way he's developed mentally. ... He's a speed back, but he can also stick his face in there."
Chadwell on penalties: "This week, we showed some other games where people got beat by people where they should have won and penalties cost them. ... We might have had 50 points the other night if we'd done those things. ... We're, as coaches, looking at everything."
Liberty jack Brenton Williams on FIU: "We're going to focus on us. I know all around we have the better team. It's a whole bunch of talk about their defense. We have the better defense. We have the better offense. We're gonna go out there and show that."
Jamey Chadwell said Liberty kickoff specialist Tyler Black will miss the rest of the season with a lower-body injury. He was injured on the opening kickoff against Kennesaw State on Thursday.
