Mike Norvell started Monday's press conference expressing disappointment in the result vs. No. 19 North Carolina State but pivoted to the excitement for Saturday's rivalry game vs. Miami.

"There's a buzz in the building," said Norvell.

The status of Jordan Travis, who missed last Saturday's game with an undisclosed illness, remains uncertain. On the departure of freshman QB Chubba Purdy, Norvell said the news was a surprise to those around the program but is indicative of the landscape of modern college football.
