I feel fortunate getting out of here with the win. I really thought our guys hung in there. The play wasn't always pretty.
balls clock control guy house worked
He put some balls right where they had to be. He was in control and worked the clock down at the end. He was the calmest guy in the house and I thought it really showed today.
arm dangerous guy plays tremendous
He's a dangerous guy, and you can't tell a guy like that when to do what because I think it's very instinctive for him, ... But there's going to be a lot of big plays by his arm and his feet. I think he's a tremendous quarterback.
count great guy national plays regional solid tv whether
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.
far good guy leader mark runs sideline
He runs our team. He's very much in control. He's the calmest guy on our sideline as far as I can tell, and that's the mark of a good quarterback and a good leader for your offense. He's always got it under control.
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.

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.

He realized he was wrong in some of his actions at West Virginia, ... He's just a competitive guy and got caught up. He was wrong and has apologized.

I say come back and check with me in two years and let's see where these guys are.

bus checked consider equipment fast guys riding takes time trip
Riding the bus on a trip like this is just as fast when you consider all the time it takes to get guys and equipment checked through the airports these days.
ability both bunch guys indication spring
It's all a bunch of young guys there and it's another indication that this is a tremendously important spring practice. Wheeler and Wang both have got ability and toughness, but they just don't have the experience.
bring fourth guy guys help mike patience
I know a lot about Mike. I know what kind of guy he is. With our quarterback situation, you need someone to bring guys along. Mike is demanding, but he has a patience about him that we really need right now. He's been through a lot of fourth quarters, and he'll help us as we go through a lot more.

I don't remember the last time I saw Jeff King drop a ball. He's a smart guy who is just solid in every area. He's a guy who you can trust to get things done right.
