Notebook: Grant is Fine; Clark Dominating. LAJ’s Don Williams has a notebook for the day:

• Offensive line coach Lee Hays said that Le’Raven Clark played extremely well this week:
  

  “It wasn’t a close second,” Hays said Monday. “I felt like he dominated and really, really looked like an all-American up front. It was unbelievable to watch him work this week.

  “The week before (at West Virginia), he had a great game, too. The rest of the cats weren’t as physical as we wanted to be up front.”

• Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that the players were feeling good, but Kingsbury notes that it’s time to play well on the road:
  

  “They were bouncing around today,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said after Monday’s practice. “I think they were excited. We haven’t played particularly well on the road. We’d like to show we can be a good road team. It’s a great chance, on Thanksgiving with everybody watching, to do that.”

• Jakeem Grant said that he’s fine, hurt his shoulder a little, but he was never coming out of the game really.
• Special teams coach Darrin Chiaverini said that he can trust Ja’Deion High to make a big play, which he did at the end on Saturday and said that he wished the unit would have been more aggressive on the first onsides kick.

Puerto Rico Classic. No news here, but the men’s team will be playing Thursday at 6:00 pm against Utah on Thursday on ESPN2. Just a heads-up more than anything else.
