gets happened losses reach talking win
What gets in the way sometimes is if you're talking about the expectations all the time, then you can't reach them like what happened to us two years ago when we got two losses and now we weren't going to win the Big East, we weren't going to a BCS bowl. I think that's where you've got to be careful.
answers calmness certainly guy issue key protect respond tight
When you know who it is, you kind of want to protect him. For getting a feel for who the guy is overall, how he is going to respond to pressure, we have to let him go live. The guy who has poise, a calmness about him when things get tight . . . that certainly is a key, key issue for us right now and we need to get as many answers as we can.
great memories
We've got a lot of great memories here,
good guy smart surprise
There have been some things that he would like to have back, but it doesn't surprise me that he's had a good year. He's a smart guy and understands. I think Marcus is just a player. It's in his genes.
absolutely affect against control needs
There is absolutely nothing we can do to control that or affect that other than go play well against Maryland, ... That needs to be our approach.
bud consistent exactly
You better be exactly what you are and be consistent with it. And that's what Bud does.
great happens helmet history saturday tight
You can look at the history and there have been some great games, some great players, but I don't think that has anything to do with what happens Saturday night. It's just get your helmet on tight and let's go.
soft streak
We had a streak . . . it's not all Florida. We had a lot of soft commitments going on. I thought they were just making a reservation with us and going to look at some other schools. I didn't think that was the way to do it.
bit bringing couple half involved plays quite running second state teams
We called a couple more plays to get him running in the second half ... Other than that, as we go back and think about our offense, I think getting him more involved in that regard, and getting our receivers more involved when teams are bringing so much pressure, which N.C. State did quite a bit there in the second half.
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.

bad goes happens offense special
When something bad happens in a game, when something kind of goes bad, our offense comes back and answers, ... We are special in that way. We've been able to answer, and what we do from here on out is what's going to count. But we got some things going.

Butler is not expected to play this week, and we'll have to wait and see next week. How quickly he recovers and gets his movement back will be an issue.
