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.

against both coming emotional excited fans games good last obviously passion programs remember three
It has obviously been a really good rivalry, ... I can remember as a player, it was always a tough, defensive, low-scoring kind of ballgame, coming down to the last possession. The last three years, we've had some really good games against them. It's very emotional on both sides. I think there's a lot of passion both fans have. Both programs have been excited to play each other.
coach cut great hit last press secondary team
When you play a team that's got a great secondary with great speed, you can't make a lot of moves. Coach (Calvin) Magee and I were on him the last two weeks, 'Steve, press the blocks, make one cut and just hit it.' And he did that today.

Dan will be the key for us this season, just like he was the key to our offensive line last season.

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.

We took the approach that we're playing an 11-round championship fight. Right now we've completed seven rounds and we're on round eight. And we also have some lessons to teach from last year when we had a chance and our destiny in our own hands. We stubbed our toe a little bit at the end.

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.
