great played prepared quite ready
We were well prepared and ready to play, but they played great and we just couldn't quite get going.
effort football gave great kept kids knocked penalties played proud second tech tough virginia
We got back to Virginia Tech football in the second half. We knocked off the penalties and played good, tough football ... I thought our kids gave great effort and kept battling, and I'm proud of that.
call games personal sloppy tech virginia win
We got back to what I call Virginia Tech football. I don't know where we've been here for a while, but personal fouls, penalties, sloppy play, that is not us. We didn't win all these games being like that.
happened talk took
We'll see what took place and I'll talk with everyone about what happened before I make any more statements.
bit call ourselves tough
We battled back, but got ourselves in a little bit too much of a hole. We just couldn't get a call at the right time. It was just a tough night.
enjoy men smart treat
We treat them like men and give them some time. You have to let them come here and enjoy Jacksonville and all the things here. But they have to be smart about it.
balanced bit defense field football offense position quite short takes
You look at them, and they're a balanced football team, and their defense is very very good. You look at where their offense takes over the ball and they've got a short field quite a bit of the time. Field position is critical, and that comes back to their defense.
soft streak
We had a streak . . . it's not all Florida. We had a lot of soft commitments going on. I thought they were just making a reservation with us and going to look at some other schools. I didn't think that was the way to do it.
bud consistent exactly
You better be exactly what you are and be consistent with it. And that's what Bud does.
run throw
We have to be able to run it and throw it,
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.
certainly competition saying
We're not saying 'starting quarterback' right now. There's some competition to be done. But certainly Sean's No. 1 right now.
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.
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.
