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.
draw fall overcome player step taking
It doesn't fall on one player taking his place. You have to draw from all the other guys, and they have to step their play up a little bit, too. That is how we overcome it.
biggest bunch four good lose lost next players playing pros replace
I think the biggest thing is that we have to replace a bunch of starters. We've lost 14 players. Up front, we lose two who will be playing in the pros next year. We lost four really good players at linebacker.
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.

We came down to have a good time. We came down to work and we came down to win a football game and that's why we're here. Did it affect our players and our coaches? Sure it did. You don't just take someone out of your family and it not bother you. Will it keep us from moving forward? No. It just made it a little more difficult.

A lot of times mistakes are what help you become a better player because you become mentally tougher in that situation when you face it again.

We would have had a hard time beating (season-opening opponent) Miami today.
contest finishing friendly hard mean mister playing won
We're not playing hard enough, we're not playing mean enough, and we're not finishing plays. We're just way too nice. We would have won the Mister Friendly contest out there.
along goal good lost somewhere
We used to be pretty good on the goal line. But somewhere along the line, we've lost it. They wanted to get in more than we wanted to keep them out.
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.
best conducting guys last response senior seniors turned younger
When we turned that thing over to them that last day, it was the best senior day and the best response out of underclassmen when the seniors were conducting the drills. We just need more younger guys (as leaders). You don't need just seniors to lead.

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.
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.
