There's another level this team needs to get to from a hitting and toughness standpoint. |
There's no quit in them. I told them I was disappointed they lost, but extremely proud of the effort. |
There's still some defensive positions open, for sure. |
They know after yesterday's meeting. |
They ran a lot of pursuit drills. If you noticed they ran a whole bunch. They ran their tails off pretty good. That's while they're dragging. |
They see the potential of this program being realized. |
They want me to stay actively involved to raising funds. |
They've been an especially tough opponent for us offensively, |
This is again a very challenging schedule. |
This is again a very challenging schedule. We will face seven teams that won at least seven games last year, including two of the top teams in the ACC, within our first three games — both on the road. Plus, we have to go to Virginia Tech. |
This is probably the smartest team I've ever coached in regard to penalties. |
This team has developed an identity and I think that demeanor has been good over the open date. As the head coach, I have to make sure that I don't flinch and sit here and try to change a lot of things because obviously we are pretty close. We have to find a way to make one more play. |
Today the line blocked well, but the play of the backs and receivers stood out. We didn't have any dropped balls that I could remember, the backs ran hard and the quarterbacks were accurate. |
Too many mistakes in the red zone by the offense. That's kind of is going back to last year with some of the same problems we had. |
Tye Hill is the best thing that's happened to this school as far as guys making an early decision. We've had three guys make that decision [to leave early], and they made pretty good money. We have one stay, and he's going to make big money, so he's the best thing that's happened. |
