We've got a lot of great memories here,
great played prepared quite ready
We were well prepared and ready to play, but they played great and we just couldn't quite get going.
asked football hard ike progress successful work
We asked Ike to get some things done and he has made progress in that regard. With that in mind, he has been reinstated to the team. We wanted to try and let him get some things done here this spring. I feel comfortable that Ike will work hard to be a successful part of this football program.

five guys prefer
McGrath has done very well. You'd prefer to have five guys there and they play where they play, but we're not in that position.
both certainly five good guy guys job prefer
McGrath has done very well, and Montgomery has been a guy who's smart. He's done both. He can play both (center and guard). You prefer to have five guys there and they play where they play, but we're not in that position. I think McGrath has certainly done a good job when he's been in there. I feel good about that.
chance great
I wouldn't say there's no chance ... I would want him to make that decision, and I'd want him to feel great about playing.
bunch chasing football penalties playing tech virginia win
If we play like Virginia Tech plays, we'll win the football game. Be efficient, hard-nosed, tough, chasing the football, playing aggressively. Now if we get a bunch of penalties like we did in the first half, we're not going to win.
allowing career coaching fan finish great university virginia
I am very appreciative to the university for allowing me to finish my coaching career at Virginia Tech. This is the only place I want to coach, and it's a great place to coach because of the administration and our great fan support.
front running seen seven
But we'll see. He hasn't seen this front seven running after him. We'll see how he reacts to that.
five football good penalties team three threw
But that good football team - we fumbled five times, we threw three interceptions and we had 13 penalties for 115 yards.
defense field goal played returned scoring three
Bud's defense played great. Getting a field goal returned and scoring three times, that's pretty special.
last played team
More years than not we've played better than we were. Last year, I'd be the first one to admit, we had a better team than our record.
