It's a chance for not only coaches, but everyone in the country to come together and help these people. As much as we watch it on TV, we can't get the real picture of what's going on down there.

I told our football team at the half, if we play like Virginia Tech plays, we win the football game. That?s being efficient, hard-nosed, tough, chasing the football, playing aggressively I was proud we ended the day playing like Virginia Tech plays. I thought our kids gave great effort. They hung in there and kept battling and kept coming back.

balanced bit defense field football offense position quite short takes
You look at them, and they're a balanced football team, and their defense is very very good. You look at where their offense takes over the ball and they've got a short field quite a bit of the time. Field position is critical, and that comes back to their defense.
certainly competition saying
We're not saying 'starting quarterback' right now. There's some competition to be done. But certainly Sean's No. 1 right now.
bit call ourselves tough
We battled back, but got ourselves in a little bit too much of a hole. We just couldn't get a call at the right time. It was just a tough night.
