bit missing
There's something a little bit missing ... and we're just going to take a look at this.
beat boston football good maryland record team texas
They are another good football team that the record may not show it. Boston College, overtime. Miami, overtime. They beat a good football team in Texas A&M. They beat a good Maryland football team, as we are seeing.
parents running talked water
I've talked to our trainers and managers. If we can't get (the running backs) in the game, we'll let them run the water out during timeouts. That way I can tell their parents they got on the field.
athletics good runs seen
I've never seen so many long runs on kickoffs. Darrell Blackman is an awfully good athlete.
athlete hate leave parent percent supportive
As a parent and as a coach, you always hate to see an athlete leave any place before they get an education, before they get their diploma. That being said, I am 100 percent supportive of this young man's decision, in anything he does.
certainly coach realized speed trying
Coach Bowden certainly realized that speed made it happen. That's what we've been trying to do here.

As I've told our players, half of our young men haven't played in a bowl game either, and of the half who haven't, there are an awful lot of them who are playing and starting.

focused wrong
If they're focused on me, they're focused on the wrong dude.
awful bad build close everybody expects good lost news nobody program takes
Nobody expects it to take real long, but it takes a while to build a program anywhere. In addition, we expanded this league. The good news is we're getting better. The bad news is, so is everybody else in this league. We've lost an awful lot of close games, but we're very, very close.
miss opportunity turn
One play did something to turn it around. We're all over that thing, and we miss an opportunity to make a play. They go down and score, and it just steamrolled.
against best corners played receiver wide
No doubt. Those corners played their fannies off against the best wide receiver in the country.
best biggest comparing easy everybody fact football hang hanging name player
One of the biggest things is the fact that he doesn't have Philip's name hanging over him. That's not an easy name to hang over you, with everybody comparing him to the best football player to ever play here.
feeling hard win
I was feeling that we were going to win this the hard way.
