few game hours improved played tough ways
He's improved . . . but I think he has a ways to go. He's played with some injuries. He's a tough, tough kid. We have a few hours before game time. We'll see.
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.
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 mean might people program realize team three won
I think sometimes you're a better program than people realize you are. And I think that might be Louisville's case. I mean in the last three years they have won 29 games. They're for real. I think this team can play with anyone.

He's not just a big back. He's a big back who has that breakaway ability. He's really quick and a great athlete.

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.
held highest
As a coach, I've always held him in the highest regard,
