freaky kindness
We're not a turnover team. It was just kind of freaky tonight.
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.
virginia week virginia-tech
There are so many things going on this week, ... It's great for Virginia Tech.
happened talk took
We'll see what took place and I'll talk with everyone about what happened before I make any more statements.
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.

You better be exactly what you are and be consistent with it. And that's what Bud does.
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.
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.

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.
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.
voting
We usually have four. The voting was so close, we went with all six.
happened happy leave whatever
Whatever happened is unfortunate. I'm not happy about some of the things that happened in the first half. We'll leave it at that.
eye keeping step time
We're keeping an eye on Jimmy, but I think it's time for Brandon Frye to step up.
breaks
When the play breaks down, ... he's dangerous.
