happened mean whatever
Marcus just went over and just apologized to Elvis. I didn't see (the play) exactly, but Marcus said he didn't really mean to do that. Whatever happened is really unfortunate.
asked far good great hard successful summer
Marcus is a good person. He made some questionable judgments, but as far as working hard to get back and making this a successful ending, he's done everything that we've asked and has had a great summer of preparation and a great preseason of preparation.
improvement week
Marcus has been consistently getting better. Every week you see a little improvement.
answers calmness certainly guy issue key protect respond tight
When you know who it is, you kind of want to protect him. For getting a feel for who the guy is overall, how he is going to respond to pressure, we have to let him go live. The guy who has poise, a calmness about him when things get tight . . . that certainly is a key, key issue for us right now and we need to get as many answers as we can.
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.
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.
asked football hard ike progress successful work
We asked Ike to get some things done and he has made progress in that regard. With that in mind, he has been reinstated to the team. We wanted to try and let him get some things done here this spring. I feel comfortable that Ike will work hard to be a successful part of this football program.

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.
freaky kindness
We're not a turnover team. It was just kind of freaky tonight.
pride virginia winning
We're winning with a lot of Virginia kids, and I take pride in that.
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,
backs came football half ran run second took
We came out in the second half and really took it over. We said let's run the football and then occasionally get some play-action in there, and we didn't need much play-action, to be honest. I thought the backs ran well.
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.
