He's a guy we can really count on. He plays the same way, whether it's on national TV, regional TV or no TV. He's just solid as a rock. I think he's got a great future.
fantastic fast game great guy moving opening played poor
The guy played really fantastic for an opening ballgame, very much in control, ... I think he had one poor check, and that was it. For a game that was moving as fast as that one was, I think that was a great opening game for him. I think you'll see him get better each and every week.

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.

Personal fouls, sloppy plays and penalties, that's not us. I'm glad we came back and played like us in the second half. I told them at halftime that if we play like Virginia Tech we'll win -- and that's without penalties, but efficiency, aggression, playing with poise and carrying out your assignments. Louisville did a great job. We were lucky to win. We played more like Virginia Tech in the second half and I was proud of that. We gave great effort.

attitude football great heck nasty nice tougher
He's been good, ... He's got everything it takes. He's tougher than heck and he's nasty on the football field. He's a nice person off the field, but to be a great player, you've got to have that nasty attitude and he's got it.

There were some great things that happened out there in the second half. I want to remember the second half. I don't want to remember the first half.

I think we're going to have to change how we do that. Great offensive linemen are hard to find and can be hard to sign, but you need them. You can't just count on finding them anymore.
