We got back to what I call Virginia Tech football. I don't know where we've been here for a while, but personal fouls, penalties, sloppy play, that is not us. We didn't win all these games being like that.
game gave gets goes handled indication michael state
Michael gets up for (games). He goes a little faster. I feel like Marcus is the same way. The way he handled himself, particularly in the N.C. State game (a 20-16 victory), kind of gave you an indication he's the very same guy.

I thought our guys hung in there. It wasn't always pretty, but they hung in there and played hard. We all can learn from this game and be better.
bigger block changed field football game instead
I think that's what changed this game around. Instead of them being 7-3, it's 14-0. It's momentum. It's points. It's everything. There's just no bigger play in football than when you block a kick, particularly a field goal.

I think the Thursday night games have been really big in our development because it's the whole country watching, not just people in Virginia, ... I think they're big. If you can play well, they're a tremendous recruiting advantage. If you're playing on Saturday, you're competing against five games in your time slot. If you're playing on Thursday night, there's not much else on TV.

He's improved . . . but I think he has a ways to go. He's played with some injuries. He's a tough, tough kid. We have a few hours before game time. We'll see.
