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.
coached extremely football plays team took
We have a football team that is extremely well coached and plays hard. They really took it to Pittsburgh. It wasn't a fluke.
bit bringing couple half involved plays quite running second state teams
We called a couple more plays to get him running in the second half ... Other than that, as we go back and think about our offense, I think getting him more involved in that regard, and getting our receivers more involved when teams are bringing so much pressure, which N.C. State did quite a bit there in the second half.
balls line offensive plays sure
I'm sure there are some plays he'd like to have back, ... But I'm sure there are also some protections our offensive line would like to have back. And some balls our receivers would like to have back.
arm dangerous guy plays tremendous
He's a dangerous guy, and you can't tell a guy like that when to do what because I think it's very instinctive for him, ... But there's going to be a lot of big plays by his arm and his feet. I think he's a tremendous quarterback.
count great guy national plays regional solid tv whether
He's a guy we can really count on. He plays the same way, whether it's on national TV, regional TV or no TV. He's just solid as a rock. I think he's got a great future.
came carrying gave glad great halftime louisville lucky personal played playing plays poise proud second sloppy tech virginia win
Personal fouls, sloppy plays and penalties, that's not us. I'm glad we came back and played like us in the second half. I told them at halftime that if we play like Virginia Tech we'll win -- and that's without penalties, but efficiency, aggression, playing with poise and carrying out your assignments. Louisville did a great job. We were lucky to win. We played more like Virginia Tech in the second half and I was proud of that. We gave great effort.
change far five happy plays
If I could go back and change about five plays and make them go our way, we'd probably be happy campers right now. We weren't that far off.
plays practice
He plays the same way all the time. If it's in practice or on Saturdays, he's always full-tilt, let's go.
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.
