ability michael people pride sitting takes throwing
I think he takes pride in sitting in there and throwing the football, ... But people that have the ability that he has ? Michael and Marcus ? they've got to take off when they feel the need to take off. That's what he does.
michael
If he could throw, he'd be Michael Vick.
game gave gets goes handled indication michael state
Michael gets up for (games). He goes a little faster. I feel like Marcus is the same way. The way he handled himself, particularly in the N.C. State game (a 20-16 victory), kind of gave you an indication he's the very same guy.
change count finding great hard offensive
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.
coaches effort few further good last players proof records virginia winning
I think we have good coaches and good players in this state. We've really made an effort to re- cruit well in the state. I think the records would show that we have, particularly in the last few years. You look at our roster and it is further proof that we are winning with a lot of Virginia kids.
compete matter playing proven
I think we've proven over the years we can compete at that level. We know how to be good, it's just a matter of playing with focus.
help whether
I think we've got to help him out some, sometimes with formations and sometimes with backs, ... Whether it's Duane or someone else, you've got to give them some help.
ability beat dynamic good running
I think what you have is a dynamic quarterback that has the ability to beat you running or beat you throwing. Pretty good guy. Pretty good quarterback.
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.
appreciate changed jimmy tried
Jimmy has changed a lot. He's tried to do things right for this program, and I appreciate him for that.
check guys
I say come back and check with me in two years and let's see where these guys are.
continue deal guy recruit unless wants
I say that if a guy commits to another school, then we shouldn't go back and continue to recruit that guy unless that guy wants us to continue to recruit him and (the recruit says) that. If they say that, then I think you've got to continue to recruit them. That's my whole deal on things.
great help memories nation
Our Hokie Nation has some great memories down there. We need to help as much as we can.
call games personal sloppy tech virginia win
We got back to what I call Virginia Tech football. I don't know where we've been here for a while, but personal fouls, penalties, sloppy play, that is not us. We didn't win all these games being like that.
