Frank Beamer Good Quotations

Sean's been the most consistent both in getting into plays and making decisions and making throws. Sean has thrown the ball more accurately than he did last fall. He's made very good decisions. He is against a couple of quarterbacks who are more athletic than he is. So it's not so much as what he's done wrong, but the other kids have done some things right. That's why this is a tough decision.

McGrath has done very well, and Montgomery has been a guy who's smart. He's done both. He can play both (center and guard). You prefer to have five guys there and they play where they play, but we're not in that position. I think McGrath has certainly done a good job when he's been in there. I feel good about that.

But that good football team - we fumbled five times, we threw three interceptions and we had 13 penalties for 115 yards.

I don't think it's been easy. You see this gray hair. It's not getting any darker, I can promise you. It's good to get two road wins this year. We've just got to get better each week. That's our deal.

Glennon actually asked if it was going to be mopup to use Cory. We'll go back and sort it all out. I thought Cory did some good stuff.

He runs our team. He's very much in control. He's the calmest guy on our sideline as far as I can tell, and that's the mark of a good quarterback and a good leader for your offense. He's always got it under control.

He's going to be going up against a pretty good player, and I don't think you can go out there and be 90 percent and be effective. You have to be 100 percent.

He didn't win all of those games by being a bad coach, ... Nebraska got rid of a good football coach, there's no doubt about it.

I think in the long run, this is what needed to happen, ... We think this is what's best for our football team and for the player. We talked about it for some time. In the end, we think he's going to be a great offensive tackle. He was a very good tight end, but we think he's going to be a great offensive tackle.

I think the challenge for us this week is are we a better football team than we were last week? As many good things as we did in the N.C. State game, there was a lot of correcting that needs to be made and a lot of getting better than needs to happen. I believe ... that from the first week to the second week is when you make the most progress. And we have to take advantage of that situation here.

I thought that thing hit the ground. I'm getting old. My eyesight's not very good, but I thought the thing hit the ground. They came back and gave him the interception. I'm sure it was the right call. It's good we've got replay.

I think we have good coaches and good players in this state. We've really made an effort to re- cruit well in the state. I think the records would show that we have, particularly in the last few years. You look at our roster and it is further proof that we are winning with a lot of Virginia kids.

I think what you have is a dynamic quarterback that has the ability to beat you running or beat you throwing. Pretty good guy. Pretty good quarterback.

I think us getting Cornell showed a lot of players that Virginia Tech had something going here. Getting him here was huge for us, and it helped us get a lot more good players down the line.

Ore had some good runs. He put the ball on the ground one time, but I thought he showed some quickness through the hole. And I thought George Bell showed some good ability, too.

Our offense was very much aware that we hadn't scored a touchdown in two years against these guys. I thought they came in and responded to a good football team.

That day was very important, ... We were 0-2 and going against a good football team. Miami, for the past 10 to 15 years, had been the premier team in college football. To be able to beat them that day jump-started our program a little bit.

Marcus is a good person. He made some questionable judgments, but as far as working hard to get back and making this a successful ending, he's done everything that we've asked and has had a great summer of preparation and a great preseason of preparation.

I tell you, Ohio looked pretty good to me. I thought they looked good and they played hard.

I think Glennon does have a little bit of an edge. It's an open thing and we want to see some good competition. I think all our quarterbacks bring something to the table. It should be a great competition.

I thought he threw the deep pretty good, ... Even the first one to Josh Morgan that he didn't catch was a good throw. The others he hit on the dead run. And I thought Cory did some good stuff in there.

That's what happens when you start thinking everything's OK, that 'hey, we're a good football team,' ... We were then and we are now. You've got to prove it every week. Certainly, this week we're going to be challenged.

We have two good road wins and that means we have most of our games left at Lane Stadium,

There have been some things that he would like to have back, but it doesn't surprise me that he's had a good year. He's a smart guy and understands. I think Marcus is just a player. It's in his genes.

I've really been pleased with Nic Schmitt. He's kicking in a good rhythm, kicking the ball quickly. He's getting great distance and hang time.

The stats aren't very good, but I thought the way our quarterbacks played, you feel good because each of those three made some really good plays.

Danny is solid and tough, a good player,

I'm proud that we demonstrated to the ACC that we were a good pick. We've got the ability to be a good program for them. I think they knew that, but I think a lot of people didn't think we were going to be that this year.

He's very much in control. He's the calmest guy on our sideline as far as I can tell, and that's the mark of a good quarterback and a good leader for your offense. He's always got it under control.

I don't want to forget this offense right here. We have to be good on offense. If we don't do well, then all of a sudden it's a short field and playing right into their hands.

This is our last opportunity to show we're a good football team. I believe this is one of the best football teams Virginia Tech has ever had. Getting to 11 wins would be something--and so would finishing in the top 10.
