Selfishly speaking, having Kirby is a tremendous lift for our football team. I'm probably more excited about Kirby now than maybe I've ever been.

Maybe it was Florida State's time. I think we had the better team, but I think they played better.
coming good hard maybe nfl people players program year
This year we don't have as many high-profile guys, ... but there's some really good players here that, because they're coming out of this program, NFL people will take a very hard look at and maybe draft, where at another program maybe they wouldn't get drafted.
assure last maybe team won year
We're a better team at 0-1 than we were at 1-0 a year ago, ... I can assure you of that. This is one, in my opinion, maybe we shouldn't have lost. Maybe we won one last year we shouldn't have won. But that's football. That's the way things go sometimes.

When the law of averages goes against us, I don't like the law. Maybe it was just FSU's time.

When the law of averages goes against us, I don't like the law. I think it was just poor execution on our parts. Maybe it was just Florida State's time.

We miss Ryan, but we have players who can step up.

We certainly have a lot of work to do offensively.

There's always been talent in South Florida, it just didn't stay here.
confidence encouraged frank fun knees major playing reason unless year
I've really been encouraged with Frank and what he's done. He's having a lot of fun and playing with a lot of confidence. I really see more confidence in his knees now than I did a year ago. From what I've seen, unless there's a major setback, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't play.
