allow bend blow braces bunch butler knee mind operated question save seen tough
I've seen those knee braces save a bunch of knees. There's no question in my mind that Reggie Butler would be operated on right now if he hadn't had that knee brace on. It was a tough blow right to the knee, but the brace didn't allow the knee to bend to where something would be completely torn.

We have to compete on the field. That's just the facts. That doesn't interfere with all the time we've spent together before.

I've said it before, that this is the best group of kickers that we've ever had.

I've really been pleased with Nic Schmitt. He's kicking in a good rhythm, kicking the ball quickly. He's getting great distance and hang time.

Things are in place for us. I think this thing is just going to keep growing.

The win was good. I didn't think we were as efficient offensively, especially in that second quarter, as we needed to be. Some dropped balls, some lack of execution. I thought we came back in the third quarter and got some things done.

came carrying gave glad great halftime louisville lucky personal played playing plays poise proud second sloppy tech virginia win
Personal fouls, sloppy plays and penalties, that's not us. I'm glad we came back and played like us in the second half. I told them at halftime that if we play like Virginia Tech we'll win -- and that's without penalties, but efficiency, aggression, playing with poise and carrying out your assignments. Louisville did a great job. We were lucky to win. We played more like Virginia Tech in the second half and I was proud of that. We gave great effort.

Brandon Frye is ready. He's an athletic guy. Time to step up.
college fans hear liked lots parking seems stories took until worrying
I've always kind of liked it up there. I have up until you hear the stories that took place two years ago in the bathrooms and parking lots and all that stuff. I know it seems like a lot of our fans are worrying about going back up there, and that's not right. That's not college football.
