John Bunting Football Quotations

We've got a schedule that makes sense. We have marquee teams on the schedule. It's one I think is very workable and one our players will enjoy, our fans will enjoy. It allows us to compete in the ACC and have a chance to win some non-conference games, but at the same time challenge our program and go to some places with great football tradition.

There are things we can build on and have a really good football team, ... The kids coming back on the plane last night - there were no heads down. I think they were proud of their effort. They knew they were in the ballgame until the very end, that they had a chance to win. I think they'll be an easy group to rally to get ready to play an unbelievably good Wisconsin team.

Barrington had a good day running the ball and that's what I expected him to do. That will be another dynamic to our football program if he can continue to play like that.

Frank has a proven record as one of the top offensive minds in the country and is the absolute best fit for the North Carolina football program.

For me to sit there and tell that the tip of the nose of the football is way up too high to (punter) David Wooldridge, that took him coaching me to learn how to do that,

Kevin has done an outstanding job in improving our football field. Our field is among the best in the ACC.

Kevin has done an outstanding job in improving our football field, ... Our field is among the best in the ACC.

We had two runners out there that hadn't played football at the (NCAA) Division I level in a long time, ... One never and the other one hadn't played in two years. So that's probably going to take some live action to get into the flow of things.

I see things in his offense that I want to take advantage of, some personnel mismatches. I want to take advantage of all the different downhill runs that Frank talks about. I also want to throw the football vertically and I want to be in multiple-personnel groups. That's what's important to me.

That's inexcusable. We worked too hard on that. You can't have a punt blocked and win a football game.

I'm really proud of this team because they kept playing. They didn't lose their poise after going down early in the second half. I think that's just a characteristic of our football program.
