Carry over from the 2013 season.

Shafer pointed to the fifth game of the season, a 49-14 loss to Clemson in the school's first-ever ACC contest.

"We wanted to do something special for the community," Shafer said. "And we came up short. But I do remember sitting in that coaches locker room thinking to myself, the kids never gave up. We were a couple little plays away from turning that thing into being interesting. That place (Dome) was getting loud again in the third quarter. You could feel that sense of if we make a couple more plays, this place is going to get interesting.

"But the thing I loved is I went into the locker room, I looked into their eyes, they felt the same way I did, mad at the world that we gave them some things, and it motivated them to get to the next game.

This first team ... set the foundation for being a tough team that always plays as hard as they can regardless of what the scoreboard showed, and that's a good place to start."
