backs bonus five fresh legs playing running time
I think it's a big bonus for us to be able to play four, five running backs because having fresh legs and playing two at a time and doing all the things our running backs have to do, they can get pretty gassed.
focused game guys hope loud ready sold sure
I'm sure the game will be sold out. It will be very loud in Byrd Stadium. So I hope we can get our guys focused and ready to play.
maryland played syracuse talented team
Syracuse was tough, but Maryland is the most talented team we've played so far.
ball control guys spark
Not only were we down, it wasn't even a ball game. They were in control. I told our guys all we need is a spark or two.
hope signs
Not only were we down, but we didn't really have any signs of hope in those other 3 quarters. It was kind of improbable.
happy
I had not been real happy with our perimeter blocking, and we've got to get better at that this week.
against georgia good guys help last louisville season versus year
I want our guys to feel good about last year. But any play made last year against Georgia or Louisville won't help us get a first down versus Marshall. The 2006 season is upon us, and we're 0-0.
everybody four games heard louisville
That's all they heard after the Louisville game. But there's so many things that happen. You've still got four games left. Everybody is going to come gunning for you.
couple games last ok win
The last couple of games there's been a lot of long drives. The games are going a lot faster, which is OK as long as you win it.
against articles beat believe camp confidence confident duke forest helped obviously reading staff summer wake
They believe in what they're doing. You can tell by reading articles over the summer and during camp that they're very confident in the new staff and the new schemes. And it obviously helped their confidence when they beat Duke and then battled back against Wake Forest on the road.
across bed bottom bowl either enjoy espn game goes home name nobody plane sent tv wants
They'll either be in bed or they'll be back on the plane to Pittsburgh. Nobody wants to be sent home from a bowl game because, one, you want to enjoy a big game and, two, your name is going to be on the bottom of that ESPN ticker thing that goes non-stop across the bottom of the TV screen.
east graduation guys last lost neat realized talk watch winning
We lost a lot of guys to graduation last year, so we realized there wasn't going to be a lot of talk about us winning the Big East this year. It was neat to watch them come together.
believes team trying
This team really believes in each other and what we're trying to do,
convinced decision encouraged field physical position somewhere standpoint strong
Convinced is too strong a word. I'm optimistic. I feel encouraged that he can play that position. The thing with Nate is we've got to make a decision which position will get him on the field quicker. He does enough things from a physical standpoint we think he can play somewhere for us.
