chasing couple defense fast
I think Marcus showed he's going to be dangerous. That was a fast defense chasing him, and a couple of times he outran some fast guys.
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.
against defense great prepared time whacked
They just whacked us and socked us and got after us. Hopefully, we're going to be better prepared to go against a great defense this time around.
ahead defense fast maturity moving offense offensive
Defense is ahead of the offense from a maturity standpoint. You really see that out there. There's just a lot going on for some of these guys. It's moving too fast for some of our offensive guys.
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.
credit defense hard line side stop
I think it's a credit to our defense to be able to stop them after turnovers on our side of the 50-yard line. Turnovers on the 1-yard line are also hard to overcome. That's not us.
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.
chasing defense hope ready sunday
I hope Marcus is going to like it Sunday night. This is one you better be ready to play, you're going to have a defense chasing you. He better be ready to go.
eye keeping step time
We're keeping an eye on Jimmy, but I think it's time for Brandon Frye to step up.
both determined game indication understand
We're fine. That game was no indication of the two teams. The (five Maryland) turnovers just got it different than what it really was. I think both of us understand that. I know they're going to be very determined to come back and get us.
against business coming heck next people proud ready stink talk week
We're getting ready to play Ohio. I don't think you talk about those. The players, that shouldn't even be an issue. I'm proud. I'm proud as heck of what people think of us and what's coming around, but I know this: In this business it's one week to the next, and if we go out there and stink it up against Ohio, (the media) will be writing about something else next week.
exactly full
We're not always doing things exactly right, but we're doing them full speed. When you're doing them full speed, you feel like you can get the other part of it right.
voting
We usually have four. The voting was so close, we went with all six.
enjoy men smart treat
We treat them like men and give them some time. You have to let them come here and enjoy Jacksonville and all the things here. But they have to be smart about it.
