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.

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.

He's improved . . . but I think he has a ways to go. He's played with some injuries. He's a tough, tough kid. We have a few hours before game time. We'll see.
assistant biggest bryan bud foster great jim mean mind paid saying strongly
I don't mind saying it. Probably the biggest holdup right now is my assistant coaches. I feel strongly I've got a great staff. If you look at Bryan Stinespring and Bud Foster and Jim Cavanaugh, and I could go on down the line. If you see what they mean to this program, then they need to be paid well.

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.
And it didn't take him long to get to the end zone,

This is our last opportunity to show we're a good football team. I believe this is one of the best football teams Virginia Tech has ever had. Getting to 11 wins would be something--and so would finishing in the top 10.
