continue game hopefully hungry played prove
Our guys, I think they've played hungry. It's something we can hopefully continue to do. Every game we've played this year, they've played hungry and played like they want to prove themselves.
few georgia good hope played question
But I think it's more of a question of who you're playing. We've played some pretty good teams, and Georgia is another one. We can play well and not win. But we just want to play well and hope they make a few mistakes.
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.
game hope rather
I'd rather play a non-conference game first, especially with a young team, ... But it is what it is. ... I just hope we go up there and not panic.
defense execute factor good hope mind motivating plays rest win
I don't mind them being proud. The motivating factor is to play well and execute and win the game. I hope our defense plays as well as it has the rest of the year. If they do, we will be a good team.
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.
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.
bring creates draft fall flying others percent reason saves studied survive
I've studied this a little bit. The reason they do this is because flying in a 'V' formation creates a draft and that saves 70 percent of their energy. If one or two fall out of formation, others will go down and bring them back in. They can't survive on their own.
bit change field practice rains wet
It was a little bit wet but we were able to get through it. We don't have Field Turf where we are so, if it rains extensively, we'll have to change our practice site.
ball impressed moving
I see the quarterback is distributing ball to the right guys, making the right reads, and moving the ball down the field. I am very impressed by him.
awake biggest night obviously waiting
I've been awake all night waiting on it. That's obviously our biggest concern.
defense lucky obviously
It would behoove us to have a low-scoring game. For that to happen, obviously we've got to play very well on defense and be lucky too,
bleak fourth guys hanging kept looked momentum
Things looked bleak there for a long time. But our guys kept hanging in there and we got a little momentum there in the fourth quarter.
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.
