coached extremely football plays team took
We have a football team that is extremely well coached and plays hard. They really took it to Pittsburgh. It wasn't a fluke.
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.
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.
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.
accurately against athletic ball both consistent couple decisions good kids last plays sean thrown tough
Sean's been the most consistent both in getting into plays and making decisions and making throws. Sean has thrown the ball more accurately than he did last fall. He's made very good decisions. He is against a couple of quarterbacks who are more athletic than he is. So it's not so much as what he's done wrong, but the other kids have done some things right. That's why this is a tough decision.
came carrying gave glad great halftime louisville lucky personal played playing plays poise proud second sloppy tech virginia win
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.
balls line offensive plays sure
I'm sure there are some plays he'd like to have back, ... But I'm sure there are also some protections our offensive line would like to have back. And some balls our receivers would like to have back.
plays practice
He plays the same way all the time. If it's in practice or on Saturdays, he's always full-tilt, let's go.
change far five happy plays
If I could go back and change about five plays and make them go our way, we'd probably be happy campers right now. We weren't that far off.
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.
