TODD ORLANDO

On what it will be like for him and DT coach Kevin Patrick coaching against FAU…

Different. We kind of, like, we kind of laughed a little bit. We went through a lot of, like, really cool things with those guys. Relationships are huge. Those kids I believe care, you know, care about us. We cared about them when, you know, when we were there and still to this day and to see them same on the other side it’ll just be different. So we'll probably keep our head more towards the back. Everything is poppin on the critique anybody?
