I think we are very fortunate to continue playing. I thought Virginia was much more aggressive and much more intelligent, particularly early in the game.
aggressive early virginia
I thought Virginia was much more aggressive and much more intelligent early in the game. Very uncomfortable over there for me.
attention believe cause early focus lose pay polls satisfying
It may be satisfying to such a young team, but I don't believe it will cause them to lose their focus because they know it is so early in the season. For me personally, the polls are fine, but I really don't pay attention to where we are ranked.
attitude continue early greatest played tough year
I think the greatest thing has been his attitude to continue working. He bounced back from some tough times early this year and has really played well, and he's played well down the stretch.
best credit early leaders positive score shots struggling thoughts tough trying youngster
I'm not trying to take credit for it. I'm just trying to put positive thoughts in kids' minds. David's a tough youngster and one of the best leaders I've been around. Making those shots early when we were struggling to score were really important to us.
coming early hard ready standing
He's working hard in practice. He's coming early and not just standing around jawing. He's getting ready for practice.

We were a pretty confident bunch beforehand. I think I'm confident. I hope it's not over the edge of cockiness, but I told them I felt like we were the only team in this country that could come in here and win this game.
difficult games opposed regular three win
(The regular season) is 16 games over two or three months, as opposed to three games over one weekend. It's more difficult to win the regular season.

I was extremely frustrated, there's no question about that. I'm hoping we learned some things that will help us (today).

I think everybody's nervous now because we need healthy quarterbacks. Both of them are down, but I think Joe will be there on Sunday.

I think we are very fortunate to continue playing.

I was just, ... looking into his eyes.

Man, this is supposed to be our home stadium. This felt like a road game.
