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.
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.
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.
maybe practice quite
Maybe one practice day wasn't quite what we wanted,
best football hate pride program quite turn work
We take pride in our program in doing things right . . . just too many things that weren't quite right, ... I hate to see anyone's story here not be successful. You want it to turn out right, you work for it to come out right. Just too many situations. I thought this was what's best for our football team.
balls line offensive plays sure
I'm sure there are some plays he'd like to have back, ... But I'm sure there are also some protections our offensive line would like to have back. And some balls our receivers would like to have back.
best certainly football team wish
I'm very disappointed that this didn't have a better ending. We wanted what's best for this football team and Marcus. I certainly wish him the best.
I'm very disappointed that this didn't have a better ending.
knew soul stand
I knew there was one kind soul . . . you stand out in this crowd,
behind control humble winning
I like it when a Vick is behind that center. They're winning kids. They're humble kids. They've got a lot of ability. You like being around them. They're in control on the field. That's about everything you like out of a quarterback.
ability good knew people program proud
I'm proud that we demonstrated to the ACC that we were a good pick. We've got the ability to be a good program for them. I think they knew that, but I think a lot of people didn't think we were going to be that this year.
athletic bucks million problem start talking
It's not a problem to me. When you start talking about 20 million bucks for your athletic department, that's pretty significant.
Every one of them has been good, I think.
avenue east gave television
The Big East was the change. We wouldn't have made it without the Big East. It gave us the avenue to television and to the bowls.
