Buster Davis Quotations

Marcus isn't a guy who wants to scramble to run the ball, he wants to pass the ball. This guy is all about running the ball. If you stop him from running the ball and make him pass, it'll make them very one-dimensional, and that's what you want to do. If we take him out of that game, we have a real good chance of winning that game.

I was getting to the point where I was very unhappy and I didn't want to be a part of it,

We came out in the Virginia Tech game and played very well. That was the Florida State we haven't seen in a long time. Hopefully we come out (today) and do the same thing to help us for next year.

When a guy like that with that stature -- who has coached some of the greatest linebackers in the game -- for him to say that means a lot to me.

That's not him. He's not that type of guy.

You don't want to be called a quitter,

They're ready. They've played 13 games. They're not freshmen anymore. That'll be the nucleus of our defense next year, those guys and myself playing linebacker. It's good for them to get the exposure and the experience they need.

It showed that we are still the Florida State of old. We came up short but we really showed some promise for next year. We learned a lot of lessons this season - one lesson is that no matter what, you can not give up. We played 27 freshmen. We came back and fought hard.

It's out of everybody's hands. Things you can't control, you don't worry about. We have to move on no matter what. Had it been someone else, we'd move on also. I just wish the best for him and his family.

It's out of everybody's hands, so things you can't control, you can't worry about.

It'll give us some great national exposure and a chance to visit a different part of the country. It'll be exciting for them since it's their first ACC game. After that first play, that'll all be gone and it'll be time to get after it.

I've done so much maturing, it's unreal, ... I'm here for a reason.

Injury really got us this year. We've never really had an injury bug like this. Seven, eight players get hurt, you never really see that in a team.
