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.

We are dropping too many passes. If that continues, then that’ll answer your questions about what we are going to do with all those running backs. We’ll put the wishbone in.

We’ve turned a corner the last two weeks, and we almost did it three weeks ago. But you know what? That doesn’t mean anything. There’s another opportunity this week. There’s another challenge this week, and...

It’s going to be hard. Because all I know is that one time, two true freshmen are in there and one guy made a mistake on the first play, and then on the second play...

It goes with the territory. If your skin isn’t thick in this occupation ‘¦ you’re crazy to get into it.

It may have been Jay Davis’ best game here.

I was fortunate to be around some of the best D-linemen in the country then [at Florida State]. Never did we have one come in looking like Mario. He has great vision. He sees so...

I’ve never seen so many long runs on kickoffs. Darrell Blackman is an awfully good athlete.

When he walks into a room, you say that’s what (a defensive end) looks like.

We’ve been getting them up early. We’ve been practicing early. It don’t know if that has any consequence. Whether that makes a difference, I don’t know.

With Dunlap, we’re taking it real slow. It’s only been eight-and-a-half months since Dunlap had his operation, so we want him healthy.

It’s a shame you have to pick, because they’re all going to play. It’s been a real good competition with all of them. It’s a great thing to have.

If they’re focused on me, they’re focused on the wrong dude.

What they did five of the last six games has to rank as one of the best things this football program has ever done. You know, historically, we might look back and this could be...

I’m really not worried about it. We’re going to start the game and see how it’s going.

The Heisman Trophy was originally made out for the best football player in America, but I think it’s been redefined recently because of the fact it’s now the best player on one of the five,...

Jay’s been so good. He really has. But he didn’t have his best game. I felt we had to make a change.

They are another good football team that the record may not show it. Boston College, overtime. Miami, overtime. They beat a good football team in Texas A&M. They beat a good Maryland football team, as...

We have a hard time waking up everybody.
