It goes to show the best team doesn't always win. Stats-wise, we showed we were a better team, but they beat us to the punch.
It goes to show that the best team doesn't always win. I think that we were the better team at times today, and the stats showed that we were the better team.
He said he was feeling better. He has a pretty good spirit about things, and that's the most important thing. That helps us. If he's high-spirited, then we can go out and be high-spirited.
When they signed him back, I called him and congratulated him. I told him that there was going to be riots over there if they hadn't gotten him back and we both laughed.
He was telling Marc, 'C'mon, throw it my way,' ... and I told him, 'We're going to throw the football -- you just have to make a play on it.'
But I think this is a football team that's together, we understand what we didn't do to win that ballgame, and we have another opportunity against another divisional opponent on the road to redeem ourselves, ... It'll be up to us as players to go out there and do that.
He put his cape on and went into another mode. It was a Marshall of the past.
I'm going to need some heart pills soon. At some point in time we have to say enough is enough and let's finish a ballclub out early, and let's get out of here with a clean victory.
I'm glad that I went to North Carolina State because we didn't win a lot of ballgames, we didn't win any national championships. We lost three or four straight, but you still had to come out and work and play and believe in your teammates. The same approach I took in college is the same approach that I have taken now.
The guys understand how critical this is; how critical this game is.
He always thinks good things, so I'm sure he's thinking positive and hopefully he'll be ready to go, too, on Sunday. He looked real good, he looked crisp. It's a good sign.
He brings the power. He's a hard, tough back. He's like Eddie George with more speed and burst. He brings another air of toughness to our side of the ball.
