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.
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.
attention gets
Obviously, something gets their attention in that climate.
bad feels guy happens knows macho practice work
Right now, Macho may be the only guy that does play, ... And we're going to work to get him more reps. He has to practice well to get to where he knows what's going on and feels comfortable. You don't want to put him in there and something bad happens early.
bus checked consider equipment fast guys riding takes time trip
Riding the bus on a trip like this is just as fast when you consider all the time it takes to get guys and equipment checked through the airports these days.
came group last played players team together
Last year, we just had a group of players who came together and played as a team. Hopefully, this year's team can do the same thing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
fortunate guys hung
I feel fortunate getting out of here with the win. I really thought our guys hung in there. The play wasn't always pretty.
