absence defensive felt guard guys held key nose played point position roll
We'll have to roll guys in there, ... I think we felt his absence a little bit. He'd really played well at nose guard and held the point down for us. That's a key, key position on the defensive front.

We've played Miami when they've had some of the top-ranked defenses in the country. This is the best defense we've seen, period.

Syracuse was tough, but Maryland is the most talented team we've played so far.
ball break burst extremely good pat played ran steve white
They showed some of their explosiveness. I thought Pat White played extremely well, ran the ball well and made some good decisions. And Steve Slaton, at times, he's got that burst that he can break one at any time.

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.

Our guys believed the whole season that we could defend our Big East title, and we've played with that dedication and focus on the field. I'm very happy for our seniors and our whole football family.

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.

anxious areas bowl everybody games guys last love played run team
Hey, we have a lot of guys back. And we can't run guys out of here. They love going to bowl games and getting those gifts. But I am approaching it the same. I am anxious to see how much better our guys can get. Everybody that we played (in the Big East) had a young team last year. We played pretty well, but there are always areas to improve.
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.

I've been awake all night waiting on it. That's obviously our biggest concern.
