Chuck Amato Game Quotations

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

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 here, won here, how crazy the fans and everything would have been on that last play.

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

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.

Consider the source. Losing is frustrating if you've never put a jock strap on in your life. But for people that compete and know how to win and know what this game is all about, it's not hard. It can be if you don't have character, if you don't have a winning attitude. But if you're a winner, let's live to fight another battle.

You're always concerned about that. As I've told our players, half of our young men haven't played in a bowl game either, and of the half who haven't, there are an awful lot of them who are playing and starting. It is a big, big day in the history of South Florida to play in their first bowl. Hopefully, we can make it a day that they won't want to remember.

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

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

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