He’s a special person and an unbelievable student. He will be part of a basketball team that might have an opportunity to play in the state tournament. That shows what kind of team player he...

We’ve got to win, period. Home or away. But we do have to win a game here for everybody involved. Could you imagine this place if that game (last week at Georgia Tech) was played...

You know, Sterling is a young man that really has stepped up. He got dinged a week ago, but we expect Sterling to help us quite a bit. He’s having a good camp.

I don’t think there’s any question it looks like they’re left-handed, and rightly so. If you have those kinds of people on the field, you might as well take advantage of them.

He took advantage of it.

It’s nice to be important, but you know what, it’s more important to be nice. … If you live with that, you’ll have friends all over the world and you’ll be a friend of everybody.

I’m glad he’s got Morgan blood in him.

We’ve been playing great defense the last six games. The front has been playing great and the kids just played their butts off today.

As a parent and as a coach, you always hate to see an athlete leave any place before they get an education, before they get their diploma. That being said, I am 100 percent supportive...

The way our young men have fought, I told them that if we get that seventh win, in 10 years when you come back for that reunion, this might be remembered as one of the...

I did 730 of them. And I did them the right way.

There’s a lot of stuff that’s correctable. We’re doing everything we’re capable of to eliminate mistakes. It’s time these kids are accountable.

Penalties set up a touchdown for them and took away scoring opportunities from us. We had some foolish penalties and some guys got one who hadn’t had one in two years.

I was feeling that we were going to win this the hard way.

There’s no question who the quarterback is.

He better not slip. He may not get demoted, but someone might get promoted. We’ve got five No. 2s. They’re all going to get their chance.

I was just possessed to do it, I couldn’t wait. We actually took that 5-yard penalty intentionally.

It’s what they eat the night before (that’s important).

I wanted to get Bobby and Andre in the game. I wanted them to play and I wanted to see themselves play, I wanted to see them on film…I felt comfortable that they could go...

I was just totally disappointed with the way we played defensively.

We fought hard and that was Jay’s best game yet. He really commanded our team. Our running game looks good, but we need to dominate more up front on defense.

The opening kickoff set the tone. Oliver Hoyte goes down and makes the hit of the season. Maybe one of the biggest hits that’s been at that stadium in a long, long time. We go...

We have stressed penalties and turnovers more than anybody in the country could. Silly penalties now, silly penalties that really cost us big.

He has really stepped his preparation up and how he’s going about it. He’s better now than when the season ended last year.

Marcus Vick made some great plays, but we allowed him to make great plays. We had some containment issues, but he took some hits, too.

I’ve talked to our trainers and managers. If we can’t get (the running backs) in the game, we’ll let them run the water out during timeouts. That way I can tell their parents they got...

The resilience of these guys, never giving up, that’s why we won five of the last six games. ? This might [turn out to] be one of the biggest wins the university has had —...

I want to be the first team in the state of North Carolina to win a national championship in football. People say I must be nuts. Well, maybe I am. … We all have goals....

We had four shots to win it and he’s the guy who got us down there. He’s just so much better this year than last year because he’s got those 11 games under his belt...

Coach Bowden certainly realized that speed made it happen. That’s what we’ve been trying to do here.

My grandparents on my mother’s side owned a farm, and I grew up on the farm. If it wasn’t for an opportunity to get an athletic scholarship … to pay for my education, to this...

The blueprint, from the way they went about putting in a football program, has been outstanding. I think it’s a model of how people should go from nothing to where they’re at.

The youngsters that come in here are 15 days behind, and everything is all Greek to them. Everything is clear as mud to them. But someday it’s going to open up like a rose petal...

Fundamentals are the focus during spring drills. Every spring, we work on blocking and tackling and the little things that end up being the big things – the basics of football.

There’s some way all of them can contribute one way or another.

The belief of these young men in never giving up … we talked about character and walking around knowing you can win. This might be one of the biggest wins, when it is all said...

His confidence level is sky high. It was that way going into the game. He’s taking this team over and he’s so much more relaxed.

One of the biggest things is the fact that he doesn’t have Philip’s name hanging over him. That’s not an easy name to hang over you, with everybody comparing him to the best football player...

That might be Jay’s best game he’s ever played here.

We’ve hit a little bump, and we’re going full speed ahead.

They did it properly. They didn’t rush it. Just look how smart they were in going from one division to another, to get where they’re at and being part of the Big East.

I’m a very blessed person to be here.

We took the ball down the field and tried to flex our muscles, and we (couldn’t).

I don’t know if we were in as good game condition as we have been in the past.

We talked about we’ll play the game and chat after that. I know nothing.

We went from the worst feeling in the world to probably the most rewarding season I’ve ever been a part of.

Those are such nagging things that help keep drives going. There’s no excuse for that.

I felt comfortable that they could go out there and do really good things themselves because they’re all playmakers, and I think they deserve that. It had nothing to do with injuries at that point....

I think it adds excitement to all of us. All of us are dreamers. None of us have lost a game yet.

His stats, throwing-wise, may not be super, super good, but he doesn’t make many mistakes. Since that first game, he has made very few mistakes and that is why we have been on this roll.
