Gator Bowl snippets

Virginia coach Al Groh won't be doing a teleconference Sunday but he briefly chatted with reporters on Saturday. Here are a few quotes:

On the Cavalierrs' 3-1 bowl record during his tenure: "Part of playing well in these games is knowing how to travel and how to prepare."

On Texas Tech's unheralded defense: "Scheme-wise, it bears similarity to teams like Connecticut and Pittsburgh, or N.C. State. All 4-3 teams."

On the kind of game he expects: "I'd take 89-88 if that's what it took. I know it's not going to be 10-7."

On Chris Long: "I guess he'll be in a lot of stadiums from now on."
