Randy Edsall Terms Quotations

Because of the number of people we lost - we had to spend time doing some different things in terms of developing leadership and getting guys to understand what it's going to take to play at the level that we want to play at, ... A lot of the guys haven't had the opportunity to play at that level.

When I address those 105 guys, they're going to look at me and my attitude in terms of how I'm approaching this, ... If I'm not upbeat, I'm not positive and I don't have the good body language, then I'm sending a message to the team of 'woe is me.'

I was proud of the way our guys came out and played the game, in terms of going through executing the way we did. Sometimes you have some concerns in situations like this.

There is a tremendous challenge for this football team this week as we head down to Atlanta. We know that they are an outstanding football team. They are well coached. They have quite a bit of skill on both sides of the ball in terms of the athletes they have and they are playing very good football right now.

The schedule gives us balance in terms of not being on the road more than one week at a time. I like that the Big East games are mostly together and later in the season while we also have a good mix of non-conference foes from the ACC, Big Ten and independents along with an old traditional opponent in Rhode Island.

A lot of these kids get rated in their junior year. There's a lot that happens between a kid's junior year and their senior year in terms of maturity, development and understanding the game. ... The ratings and all those things, that stuff never bothers me because we're going to make our evaluations.

I like everything about Dennis in terms of what he can do, ... I have the utmost confidence that he'll go out and do a good job. We'll put a game plan together that we know he'll be able to handle and that everybody on offense will be able to execute.
