Ocho, what do you think tonight? What do you think about the quarterback play?

**Chad Johnson** (4:20)
I mean, the quarterback play was okay, Unc. Obviously, the longer you do play, the better your numbers will look. I just don't really use the preseason as a measuring stick to gauge how good you will be. Obviously, if I was a coach, I'd use it just to see, to make sure you don't make any mental errors. How you play against pressure in some of these different situations, down and distance, by position.
