games good lane left means road wins
We have two good road wins and that means we have most of our games left at Lane Stadium,
best continue guys hard left players state usual work
It's just one of those years where more guys than usual left the state, but we'll continue to work hard to get the best players in the state of Virginia.
both determined game indication understand
We're fine. That game was no indication of the two teams. The (five Maryland) turnovers just got it different than what it really was. I think both of us understand that. I know they're going to be very determined to come back and get us.
against business coming heck next people proud ready stink talk week
We're getting ready to play Ohio. I don't think you talk about those. The players, that shouldn't even be an issue. I'm proud. I'm proud as heck of what people think of us and what's coming around, but I know this: In this business it's one week to the next, and if we go out there and stink it up against Ohio, (the media) will be writing about something else next week.
exactly full
We're not always doing things exactly right, but we're doing them full speed. When you're doing them full speed, you feel like you can get the other part of it right.
eye keeping step time
We're keeping an eye on Jimmy, but I think it's time for Brandon Frye to step up.
chance great
I wouldn't say there's no chance ... I would want him to make that decision, and I'd want him to feel great about playing.
bunch chasing football penalties playing tech virginia win
If we play like Virginia Tech plays, we'll win the football game. Be efficient, hard-nosed, tough, chasing the football, playing aggressively. Now if we get a bunch of penalties like we did in the first half, we're not going to win.
last played team
More years than not we've played better than we were. Last year, I'd be the first one to admit, we had a better team than our record.
attention gets
Obviously, something gets their attention in that climate.
came group last played players team together
Last year, we just had a group of players who came together and played as a team. Hopefully, this year's team can do the same thing.
accurately against athletic ball both consistent couple decisions good kids last plays sean thrown tough
Sean's been the most consistent both in getting into plays and making decisions and making throws. Sean has thrown the ball more accurately than he did last fall. He's made very good decisions. He is against a couple of quarterbacks who are more athletic than he is. So it's not so much as what he's done wrong, but the other kids have done some things right. That's why this is a tough decision.
couple game gave home last momentum plays team year
We made a couple of plays and I really think that game gave us some momentum going down the home stretch. We were a team last year that got better as we went along, and I think that game was very instrumental in doing that.
five guys prefer
McGrath has done very well. You'd prefer to have five guys there and they play where they play, but we're not in that position.
