Bobby Bowden Felt Quotations

I felt like we were looking at a team that might, could blow us out; we don't want another Colorado-Texas ballgame. What did you learn? ... We're playing Penn State, No. 3 in the nation. Now if we can hang with those guys, maybe we got the material to get back on up there where we belong.

I felt like that guy was breaking out of there and probably taking four and five, I don't know, maybe six seconds to get the ball off, ... You can't cover people that long.

I always felt like a dominating defense has to start out front, and they are a good front. Typical Joe.

I always felt like this is good for him. When I was a coach at West Virginia they were trying to run me off. They wanted to fire me. I went through all that 'bye-bye Bobby' stuff, all that moving-van-in-the-front-yard stuff.

We've been wanting to do it and he's been wanting to do it, so now is the time, ... He's been kind of non-existent this whole season out wide. We felt like the move to all that field would benefit him, but he has not been comfortable with it.

We've come out trying to run the ball, ... The second ballgame (against I-AA the Citadel), we came out throwing because we thought we were superior and we could do what we wanted to. Now, when you're playing Syracuse and you're playing Miami and you're playing Boston College, you better do what's best. I felt like sooner or later, we're going to have to come out throwing the darn ball, and that's what our offensive staff wanted to do.

They all did good jobs. Now, I felt like Jeffrey had the very same potential that they had. I still do. And Tommy and Terry felt the same way. So I really had no doubts that he would do the job.

I really felt Boston College would bring this kind of credibility to our conference.

I really felt like Boston College would bring this kind of credibility to our conference. With where it is located and all the press there is, I thought it would be real good for our conference. And here's an example.

I didn't think that our other tailbacks were running very well. I felt like they were dancing too much and trying to pick their way through the line too much. We were determined to get him in the ballgame more, and we felt like we would be able to. He responded.

I felt that was the worst game of penalties we've had, ... And it's not just the yards, it's what they nullified.
