His body has been through a traumatic ordeal lately, and you don’t want to have a repeat of that. Let’s see if he can do more (today). They tell us he’ll get stronger every day,...

If we can put four quarters together, that’s the objective. Let’s see how somebody else feels playing from behind.

I’d say the general concepts are the same. There are a few different looks and things. … There may be more formations than we’ve used in the past.

There will be some differences, some new wrinkles.

I don’t know how they did it,

They didn’t do anything fancy or unusual that we haven’t worked on, but when you play them, you have to get ready for a ton of stuff. When you haven’t spent a ton of time...

I think he’s adjusting very well. I know he’s had two solid practices, and I think today was the third solid practice. I think that’s been a good move for our football team, and it...

You have to give him credit for what he did, … instead of maybe complaining about what he didn’t do.

Tell me how bad the field was beat up.

They executed very well I thought. They did a great job of execution. We didn’t do a good job of getting people in the right spots to defend like we needed to do.

Play through it like you normally do, … That’s stupid. It’s just the fifth game of a racquetball match. Don’t be dumb.

We felt like we had a good play where we could fake the run up the middle and draw people up and give Calvin a chance to win it one-on-one,

I don’t want anybody watching.

One of the first things Reggie asked Patrick was what Virginia Tech looked like on defense. It tells you that he feels like he’s going to be back pretty quickly.

That’s between the University of Miami and the conference. They’re probably going to say, ‘Hey, what do you want to do?’ But it won’t make a lick of difference what we say.

It sounds like to me I’ve got a good chance to sit there and say nothing, … If I’m going to be there, I’d like to be a part of the process or don’t have...

I think in the fall we’ll still be in the position of deciding who’s going to play what positions for the first two weeks. And then we’ve got to make a decision one way or...

Everybody outside the locker room thought that was going to happen. The only people who thought we were going to win are in that locker room.

These guys have a tremendous ability to compartmentalize — put all the junk to the side and play the game. All the other stuff they can’t control. What we can control is what happened out...

Our offensive line is pretty young. We did not feel like it was imperative. We’ll make a push for some next year, maybe one or two. I don’t feel any pressure right now and I...

I think we saw potential. I think it was the person and the potential. I felt the desire. He wanted to be a great quarterback. He was looking for somewhere to help him reach that...

I’m not sure how many sacks we got but I know he took a lot of hits. He’s a very tough competitor and I would’ve liked to shake his hand. He ran the option and...

He’s an all-around great player, he’s not one-dimensional.

When we have everybody healthy and hitting on all cylinders, we’re a pretty good football team. We feel like we can compete week in and week out with anybody in the country.

I don’t have any aches and pains anymore when I play racquetball that I used to.

My hat’s off to them. It really is.

Nobody’s like them. Nobody gives us everything they give us.

He does have some ability. We have to see if we can get that more consistent and find the right spot for him. Is it boundary corner? Is it field corner? Is it a safety?...

It’s great to finally have this in place. It was just a matter of getting all the paperwork done.

It’s good for the defense that they created a lot of turnovers today. That was a positive. We picked right up where we left off last year with the interceptions. We need to keep doing...

I have the compassion, but I don’t have the words of solace that you need to convey that, … I would get involved. It would drain me. I wouldn’t be giving strength. I would be...

Charlie, I’ve got to quit,

It’s just a heartbreaking loss for our football team.

We let our guys have fun and they handle themselves pretty well.

We will be extremely cautious in this situation and not do anything that would cause any further problems. If we err, we will err on the side of caution. We will do what the doctors...

If you take an all-conference performer and put him on the field, it’s going to help your defense a lot, … We’ll see if we can get him up to speed.

I’d probably choose to move it back just because it’s supposed to rain off and on all week, anyway.

You always try to put guys in position to excel and use the abilities they have. I know what he’s good at, and that’s going down the field and catching balls.

It’s doubly important. Not only is it a victory for you, but it’s a loss for someone in your division, … That’s who you’ve got to beat, the people in your division, to get to...

They both are the same in that you better stop the running game or you’re in for a long day.

Jon has done an excellent job. Our defense has been ranked among the top 20 every year. We wanted to make sure he had some stability.

I’d like for him to be more accurate, … I thought he rushed a few things. The game will slow down for him, it will. The next time he walks out there, he’ll see things...

We’ve already got a lot of the film breakdown done,

It’s hard to put a figure on how valuable he is, … He’s played tackle and guard in the same game. That’s amazing.

He ran the ball extremely well. Making things happen, especially with his legs; it was very impressive.

I’m all for guys playing other sports as long as their grades don’t fall and they’re contributing. If they’re not contributing, if they’re just sitting there, then they need to be back over here, getting...

I think that would be a good thing to point out to our team.

What they do is make you play assignment football. Somebody’s got to take the running back. Somebody’s got to take the quarterback. Somebody’s got to take the wide receiver coming around for the hitch. Then,...

We’d been very big, strong and physical, and experienced [in the past], but we were not quite that at this point with this crew. But we did have a lot of athletic talent, so we...

He’s proven that he can play very well at times, and he’s proven he can play very poorly at times. We’re looking for that guy to show up week in and week out on a...
