maryland played syracuse talented team
Syracuse was tough, but Maryland is the most talented team we've played so far.
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.
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.
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.
beat early good played players rivalry
I played here in the early '80's and it was a rivalry then. They've had a good team, with some good players and they've beat us pretty good.
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.
best defense miami played
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.
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.
believed dedication defend east focus football guys happy played season seniors
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.
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.
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.
