brought defensive good group guys help kids might strong
This group for what we need might be as good a defensive group that we've brought in. They are guys with good character, strong kids who want to be a part of a championship and that's what we're going to help them accomplish.
best certainly defensive giving middle played player presence proven second super team veteran year
I don't know how he could have played much better. He has proven why he is an All-American. He is certainly the best second team All-ACC player that I've seen. He has played super all year giving us a stabilizing, veteran presence in the middle of a young defensive line.
courage hurt tells
It tells me he has a lot of courage. It was more important to him that he worked. He couldn't have hurt it any worse.
guys himself overall took truly whatever
Weights, running, overall conditioning everything. Not just because he had to, but because he really and truly wanted to do whatever it took to make himself better. He understood, you know? Some guys get it and some guys don't.
adversity challenge depth extremely faced handle presents problem step total
We have faced adversity all year. How you handle adversity is extremely important. Our problem is that we have not had the total depth that we have had in years past. What it presents now is a challenge for someone else to step in and take over.
affect bother family moving players
Did it affect our players and our coaches? Sure, it did. You don't just take someone out of your family and have it not bother you. Will it keep us from moving forward? No.
bring burning coaches dropped himself hobbies players priorities spirit ways winning
You got to be a winner, and bring coaches and players that winning is important too, and want to do their best. I think another thing is that coach (Bowden) has hobbies (and) priorities that are set and he has ways to keep himself from burning out. I don't think his competitive spirit has dropped any.
ask challenge freshmen presents sports
We're disappointed. What it presents now is a challenge for someone to take over. We have to ask our freshmen not to play like freshmen.
doubt means
There's no doubt about it that it means a lot for all of us.
challenge coach gave presents statement step
Coach Bowden gave a statement on that. The only thing I'll say is that we're disappointed. What it presents now is a challenge for someone else to step in and take over.
great passion
(Rolle) has a passion to become a great player, at least he has demonstrated that.
penalties people
But we're still having too many penalties and getting too many people out of position.
accustomed gang job mature people playing reckless
Because they are older, more mature players, they're playing with a little more reckless abandon. It's all about getting 11 people swarming to the ball, gang tackling. We're doing a lot better job of that this year, a lot more like were accustomed to.
void
There's a void there right now. But we've got some potential.
