battles continue east folks football good last mentioned next several teams
As I mentioned to some folks last night. There's a lot of good football teams in the Big East and we had some very competitive battles with them and we'll continue to have those the next several years.
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.

This team really believes in each other and what we're trying to do,
gains hard scholars-and-scholarship stop team
It showed more than anything that when one team gains momentum, especially in a bowl, it's hard to stop it.
maryland played syracuse talented team
Syracuse was tough, but Maryland is the most talented team we've played so far.
far good limit offense score takes team
You've got to try to limit the big plays, which we've been pretty good at so far this year. They score so quickly, I think it takes the other team out of their offense so fast.

I was a little disappointed in that (Big East) rule. We've had plenty of cases on the team now, and in the past, where a guy was a couple points short on a test. Yet he comes here and graduates and has a great career and does a great job representing the program.
challenge meet team
Our young team will have to meet the challenge again.

Playing in a BCS game helps with getting the team name out there. Players are going to go where they think they can excel.
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.
