John Bunting Good Quotations

There are things we can build on and have a really good football team, ... The kids coming back on the plane last night - there were no heads down. I think they were proud of their effort. They knew they were in the ballgame until the very end, that they had a chance to win. I think they'll be an easy group to rally to get ready to play an unbelievably good Wisconsin team.

Barrington had a good day running the ball and that's what I expected him to do. That will be another dynamic to our football program if he can continue to play like that.

From what I gather, Ronnie is going to be allowed to go full-go this week. If that is the case, I think there is a very good chance that he will be playing on Saturday versus Louisville.

If we play a complete game, we'll have a good chance to win, ... We've been able to do that in every game we've played so far.

He needs to have a really good year, ... and of course, he's off to a bad start.

He's having a good week of practice. I think he's getting more comfortable with things, and I'm pleased to see that.

That could have been a momentum-changing play. Those are the things you need to beat a good team like Miami.

Mark has a great reputation for developing players and forming relationships with players. He has good character, and other coaches that I have spoken with have nothing but high praise for Mark. His familiarity with Frank and the offense here will help with the transition, and we can be better faster because of his knowledge.

That's the lowest rushing total we've allowed in a long, long time, ... We had more tackles-for-loss on first and second down than we've had in a long, long time. We did a good job disrupting the run and blowing up some plays.

There is a buzz about our program right now. A lot of good things have happened during the spring, and now what has to happen is our guys need to take charge and make things happen.

We wasted a pretty good defensive performance best one we've had around here in a long time.

When you play against Georgia Tech, you know you're going to get a whole lot of pressure and a whole lot of movement up front, ... And you've got to do a good job. It's hard to simulate that in practice. What you've got to do is hurt them. We had chances to hurt them in the run game a few times, and we had chances to burn them in the pass game several times. Many times we capitalized; sometimes we didn't.

There's no doubt in my mind that we can get that done. We've got good enough players to get that done.

I had a good feeling after the weekend. But he'd be a good poker player. We didn't know for sure. We felt we had a good chance.
