accurately against athletic ball both consistent couple decisions good kids last plays sean thrown tough
Sean's been the most consistent both in getting into plays and making decisions and making throws. Sean has thrown the ball more accurately than he did last fall. He's made very good decisions. He is against a couple of quarterbacks who are more athletic than he is. So it's not so much as what he's done wrong, but the other kids have done some things right. That's why this is a tough decision.
ability michael people pride sitting takes throwing
I think he takes pride in sitting in there and throwing the football, ... But people that have the ability that he has ? Michael and Marcus ? they've got to take off when they feel the need to take off. That's what he does.

He's going to be a great player, but right now I think there's a lot being thrown at him and his mind is tying up his feet a little bit,

When you know who it is, you kind of want to protect him. For getting a feel for who the guy is overall, how he is going to respond to pressure, we have to let him go live. The guy who has poise, a calmness about him when things get tight . . . that certainly is a key, key issue for us right now and we need to get as many answers as we can.
good guy smart surprise
There have been some things that he would like to have back, but it doesn't surprise me that he's had a good year. He's a smart guy and understands. I think Marcus is just a player. It's in his genes.
absolutely affect against control needs
There is absolutely nothing we can do to control that or affect that other than go play well against Maryland, ... That needs to be our approach.

I don't remember the last time I saw Jeff King drop a ball. He's a smart guy who is just solid in every area. He's a guy who you can trust to get things done right.

Vick was a great team leader tonight and played with poise.

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 better be exactly what you are and be consistent with it. And that's what Bud does.
great happens helmet history saturday tight
You can look at the history and there have been some great games, some great players, but I don't think that has anything to do with what happens Saturday night. It's just get your helmet on tight and let's go.
soft streak
We had a streak . . . it's not all Florida. We had a lot of soft commitments going on. I thought they were just making a reservation with us and going to look at some other schools. I didn't think that was the way to do it.
bad goes happens offense special
When something bad happens in a game, when something kind of goes bad, our offense comes back and answers, ... We are special in that way. We've been able to answer, and what we do from here on out is what's going to count. But we got some things going.
