chance either five games gives james left lose march pull sitting win
That happens, and you march on. We're sitting here 3-3 with five games left with a chance to either win or lose them all. ... James gives you more aces in your hand. We'll have to pull another hand.

Defensively, we play like that and we have a chance to win a lot of football games. Offensively, you can get hot and cold. But as long as our defense played like it did, it can keep you close.

I told the team we had a chance to finish it at the end. But I'm proud we didn't quit.
angle catching chance gets guys safety second seeing speed took turn wrong
When he gets to the second level, there is no catching him from behind, at least not on this team. If you don't turn those guys and let them catch it in stride, they have a better chance to make big plays. The safety wasn't used to seeing that kind of speed and took the wrong angle on it, and (Ford) was gone.

I'm hoping he'll be ready Monday. But you're sitting in the hospital Saturday and you're a week away from the game, obviously it's not good.

I like what we're doing now as opposed to throwing a few more downfield and losing by 20 to Virginia and losing by 20 to Texas A&M, ... I feel pretty comfortable that I won't fall for the bait.

It was one of those drives where you want to milk the clock as much as you could and giving the ball to James makes it pretty easy.
