Every team is different, some teams fit better than others. I think the leadership on this team has been very good, pointing everybody in the same direction. They respect each other.

You kind of find out a lot about people when your backs are against the wall and people aren't saying nice things about you, people trash you a bit on TV, ...

We thought with Marcus against a team like Miami, you get a guy who can really run it and it helps you some at that quarterback position. I think Marcus showed you that a couple of times, with a burst there and a couple big first-down plays.

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.

It seems like it's always an important game, ... I think both teams play extremely hard when we play each other. The stakes have always been high.
battling chasing coming ended football gave great hung kept kids playing proud team tech virginia win
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.

They got us field position and then the offense stuck it in. It's still a team game. I still believe our offense is going to get more consistency as we go along.
