check guys
I say come back and check with me in two years and let's see where these guys are.
continue deal guy recruit unless wants
I say that if a guy commits to another school, then we shouldn't go back and continue to recruit that guy unless that guy wants us to continue to recruit him and (the recruit says) that. If they say that, then I think you've got to continue to recruit them. That's my whole deal on things.
defense guy handle near offense plan remember school springs watching
I remember watching him at Highland Springs (High School, near Richmond), and when I recruited him I told him my plan was to get him on offense some and get him on defense some, and I think he's the kind of guy that can handle it. I think he's got that kind of ability.

Our Hokie Nation has some great memories down there. We need to help as much as we can.

In the end, we think he's going to be a great offensive tackle. He was a very good tight end, but we think he's going to be a great offensive tackle.

I think it's got the makings of a heck of a Thursday night football game. I think they're better. They talk about they're back in the title hunt, and they are. They control their own destiny.
anytime football third
I think it's huge. Anytime you say you're doing something for the third time in your football history, that's pretty significant.
check conference tennessee worked
I think you've got to check the schedule. You don't want to be playing, in my opinion, Tennessee and LSU out of conference in the same year. I think you have to get it worked out that way, too.
hard proven time winning
I think you'd have a hard time winning a championship without a defense. Over the years, it's a proven fact.
loyal next ready taking thursday
I think with our fans, taking that next day off is the least of their worries, ... They're loyal fans, and they'll be ready for Thursday night.
advantage believe challenge football good last needs second situation state team week
I think the challenge for us this week is are we a better football team than we were last week? As many good things as we did in the N.C. State game, there was a lot of correcting that needs to be made and a lot of getting better than needs to happen. I believe ... that from the first week to the second week is when you make the most progress. And we have to take advantage of that situation here.
best playing teams whether
I think the best two teams are going to end up playing for it, whether it's us or not,
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.
