Frank Beamer Game Quotations

We're fine. That game was no indication of the two teams. The (five Maryland) turnovers just got it different than what it really was. I think both of us understand that. I know they're going to be very determined to come back and get us.

We made a couple of plays and I really think that game gave us some momentum going down the home stretch. We were a team last year that got better as we went along, and I think that game was very instrumental in doing that.

He has a great knack of getting on to the next play, ... As soon as it's over, he's disappointed. Now, he's ready to try and win the football game for us.

I thought our guys hung in there. It wasn't always pretty, but they hung in there and played hard. We all can learn from this game and be better.

I think that's what changed this game around. Instead of them being 7-3, it's 14-0. It's momentum. It's points. It's everything. There's just no bigger play in football than when you block a kick, particularly a field goal.

Michael gets up for (games). He goes a little faster. I feel like Marcus is the same way. The way he handled himself, particularly in the N.C. State game (a 20-16 victory), kind of gave you an indication he's the very same guy.

They knew what needed to be done. I think they did a great job of going back out there and quickly taking the game back over.

I personally like it, ... I think our kids like it. I think it's the equivalent of Monday night football in the pros. You're the only game on or you're the most important game on TV.

He's improved . . . but I think he has a ways to go. He's played with some injuries. He's a tough, tough kid. We have a few hours before game time. We'll see.

The guy played really fantastic for an opening ballgame, very much in control, ... I think he had one poor check, and that was it. For a game that was moving as fast as that one was, I think that was a great opening game for him. I think you'll see him get better each and every week.
