“We talked about a couple of areas, the ‘Welcome to the SEC,’ this is what it feels like,” Vitello said when asked what his message to the team was after the game. “The vibe in the air, the energy, momentum swings. Didn’t expect anything different, but that’s a pretty good introduction for guys where it’s their first year, either on our team or in the league. Also touched on some things we just didn’t do as well as we could do over the course of the game.
“Some of them, we still made the play or we got a break or we executed, but there were a lot of things. And I’m sure, knowing how Sully (Florida head coach Kevin O’Sullivan) is, he’s very competitive, I’m sure it’s the same thoughts. As highly contested of a game it was, it highlights every little single play. So, there were just a lot of things I think that we could do better.”
