Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — After spending six days in South Florida in advance of Tuesday night’s Orange Bowl against Florida State, Northern Illinois coach Rod Carey says he is proud of the way his players have conducted themselves so far.
“I’m impressed with them You come down to South Beach with a bunch of 18- and 22-year-olds. … We were all 18 and 22 at some point … and we can remember what that was like,” Carey said Monday morning. “We haven’t had one single incident as far as bad decision making. I give them all of the credit for that.
“Yeah, we helped them (stay out of trouble), but kids can always find a way if they want to. And these guys didn’t. I’m proud of them.”
