Frank Beamer Last Quotations

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.

From the stories that I've heard about the last time we were there, I thought things got a little shaky up in the stands,

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.

Last year, we just had a group of players who came together and played as a team. Hopefully, this year's team can do the same thing.

It's what you do the last half of the season that really matters.

Ore had the numbers in that last game, both of them have done very well in practice. I've been pleased with the way both of those guys have performed.

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.

I don't remember the last time I saw Jeff King drop a ball. He's a smart guy who is just solid in every area. He's a guy who you can trust to get things done right.

More years than not we've played better than we were. Last year, I'd be the first one to admit, we had a better team than our record.

I think sometimes you're a better program than people realize you are. And I think that might be Louisville's case. I mean in the last three years they have won 29 games. They're for real. I think this team can play with anyone.

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.

He's making cuts full speed. He's quick, powerful. Lost some weight. A better back for sure than he was last year at this time. I think he's really helped himself.

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.
