best booming group kicking nic pace solid
This is the best group of kickers that we've ever had. It's our kickoff guys, (Jared) Develli and (Jud) Dunlevy, they're kicking it in the end zone. Brandon Pace has been solid as a rock, and Nic Schmitt is booming them.
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.
okay
There's still some concern, but we feel like he'll be okay for Saturday.
holes
There's holes available. You just have to get to the gaps.
college fans hear liked lots parking seems stories took until worrying
I've always kind of liked it up there. I have up until you hear the stories that took place two years ago in the bathrooms and parking lots and all that stuff. I know it seems like a lot of our fans are worrying about going back up there, and that's not right. That's not college football.
forget looking polls regardless start sudden
Sometimes you start looking at the polls too much, and all of a sudden you forget to play. To get to the championship game, you're probably going to need to be undefeated, and if you're undefeated, I think you're going to end up there regardless of where you started out.
ball hold
I don't see why we can't keep it up. If you can hold on to the ball one time, why can't you do it every time.
field forget good offense playing short sudden
I don't want to forget this offense right here. We have to be good on offense. If we don't do well, then all of a sudden it's a short field and playing right into their hands.
ability great quick
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.
actions caught guy realized west wrong
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.
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.
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.
cuts full helped last lost sure year
He's making cuts full speed. He's quick, powerful. Lost some weight. A better back for sure than he was last year at this time. I think he's really helped himself.
league toward
How those quarterbacks play will go a long way toward determining how the league goes.
