UNC linebacker Jeremiah Gemmel spoke to the media following a season opening loss to Virginia Tech.
All right. Hey Jeremiah, thanks for a couple of minutes tonight. Uh, if you guys have a question for Jeremiah, please, uh, raise your hand. All right, Gregory Hall, go ahead Jeremiah, what do you attest the slow start on defense to in the first half max. And the Virginia Tech just had a bunch of different motions and things that put you guys on your heels. Just what did you see and what can you attest that first half performance do? Um, I think we're ready for the motion. That's something we heart done all we can practice but out of the motions and now the sense they ran out of the motion, they changed a lot of things up, hit a lot of things that they never really uh, ran before. Um, and they, then sometimes they did run some things that they always ran, but they did a good job job of disguising the formation Andrew jones go ahead, Jeremiah max said on monday in the press conference at the last two years. Tech was, was more physical than you guys and tougher than you guys in the last two meetings in the first half. Would you say that was kind of the case. You guys were just kind of get beat a little bit upfront and it took a while to adjust to that. Yeah, I guess you could say that they were definitely more physical than us in the first half and uh, I think when we came in during halftime, we made adjustments. I think we settled down and got more comfortable and we were able to play faster. Mhm Greg barns. Hey Jeremiah max said that you addressed the team after the game. This is curious your opinion on the team morale is gonna be the biggest shook a little bit after this. And what was your master? Um I just told him, don't let this define us for the rest of the year. I mean it's better for this to happen, I believe in early, early in the year than later on in the air in the year. So I just told everybody to take a, take a look in the mirror. Like what are you doing like during the week? How much are you doing? Is it enough? Is it not enough? Is it, are you, are you grabbing people alongside inside you in the position groups? Um, are you bringing them in the film room with you? Are you bringing in the stretch or get more? Listen in the weight room, that's pretty much what I told him. I just just told everybody like maybe we just didn't do enough this week. Um, I thought we prepared really well, but uh, to lose like this, I feel like everybody should look ourselves in the mirror and give that, get an extra percent in this upcoming loop. C L Brown, Yes. Uh Jeremiah, just kind of looking at the silver lining, one thing that coach Brown had harped on in a preseason was causing turnovers and getting take aways. How much of a boost did you feel like during the course of the game, when you guys were able to get that fumble and get that uh that interception, you know, what did that do for the defensive cycle? I definitely boosted uh the defensive morale. I think you saw that. I mean we played really good in the second half, especially when we got uh got to, got to turn over and I mean it just helps our offense get better position and I think that's something we just harped on all fall camp and all in spring is just causing turnovers, getting tipped balls, getting the ball loose, punching at the ball. So, um, it's great that we got two turnovers and I hope we can carry that on for the rest of the year. Melissa Ray last season after losses. You guys responded by coming out swinging the next week. What's your mentality after this one and kind of putting it in the rear view and moving on to next week? Yeah, I mean, I think you should just open all the guys eyes. Um, I know personally for myself and just speaking of the team, I I don't really listen to any of the outside noise, the rankings and statistics or anything. So, um for me it's just it's just driving and get better each week. Um, I think this can just make us closer as a football team. I think we're all really, really, really close to the football team, but hard loss like this early in the season and I think that just brings the team closer together, gets the position groups closer together and I think it's going to practice that much more competitive. Make the scout teams even more that competitive. So I think this can this can be somewhat good for us. Mm Okay. Mark Berman, go ahead. Yeah, I just want to ask you about number five, the running back black, she was able to uh get out there and catch them passes tonight. Uh and it was there anything that tech was doing to to uh you know enable that to uh to happen or was that something that you guys were not prepared for? I think I just did a really good job with the motioning and hiding the formations and um sometimes when the motion, the guy uh the dragon there's really split in half of the defense apart so really to have one side uh independent from the other. So knowing when the follow the jet motion and when they're not go with it, you really gotta be keyed in on the back. So um yeah that definitely gave us some problems and I Alright, jeremy that's the last one we have for you. Thank you, yep you're going okay
