NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL MEDIA CONFERENCENovember 11, 2017Nyheim HinesBoston, Massachusetts NC State - 17, Boston College - 14 Q. When did you figure out that your ankle was better and you were moving around and feeling more like yourself? NYHEIM HINES: I found out we have one of the best training staffs in the country. Justin, he puts up with my complaining all week because my ankle hurts. They do a great job of getting me ready for Saturdays, and I think that's the biggest thing. Between them and the O-line, the training staff and the O-line, they do a great job of helping me play well on Saturday. Q. What turned out to be the game winner? NYHEIM HINES: I had patience. I trusted in the line. I had trusted Tony was going to reach the three technique and he did. Really I just stayed on my track and made a play after that. I had great blocking down field, so it wasn't really a big play for me. Just everybody trying to finish, and it turned out to be the game-winning touchdown. Q. How does it feel that you had this win under your belt after back-to-back losses to top 5 teams? Must feel good to get one under your belt? NYHEIM HINES: Feels great. We knew this was going to be a challenge as well. Boston always historically has a great defense. They didn't disappoint. They had a great defense. They stopped us on a lot of third downs. They made it a dog fight, and it came down to executing and straining for that one play. It was just one play that helped us win the game. Q. Any thoughts ahead to a couple in-state games rivals, Wake and Carolina? NYHEIM HINES: Coach Doeren told us when he brought us together that we're basically playing for a championship. We're trying to establish a brand of North Carolina State all over the state of Carolina. Q. What would you estimate you were at for Clemson, what percent? NYHEIM HINES: Maybe 75, 70%. I don't know. I think I played about 28 or 26 snaps. But I was out there just straining to finish. The line and all the players got me, and I was just trying to fight. Each week I'm going to fight to do as many plays as I did, and I think I did more plays than last week and that's a goal. Q. You understand the N.C. State history. After the crazy lateral from Jay Samuels, that kind of gifted them a touchdown, were you thinking what is this BC vex over us? NYHEIM HINES: Yeah, our track record is sometimes we like to not finish. I think that's been the biggest difference between this year and last year. We lost a lot of games in the fourth quarter. Sometimes we were up touchdowns, sometimes it's a close game or tie game, but we somehow find a way to win rather than find a way to lose, which we did last year.
