Frank Beamer Plays Quotations

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.

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.

He's a dangerous guy, and you can't tell a guy like that when to do what because I think it's very instinctive for him, ... But there's going to be a lot of big plays by his arm and his feet. I think he's a tremendous quarterback.

He's a guy we can really count on. He plays the same way, whether it's on national TV, regional TV or no TV. He's just solid as a rock. I think he's got a great future.

We have a football team that is extremely well coached and plays hard. They really took it to Pittsburgh. It wasn't a fluke.

We called a couple more plays to get him running in the second half ... Other than that, as we go back and think about our offense, I think getting him more involved in that regard, and getting our receivers more involved when teams are bringing so much pressure, which N.C. State did quite a bit there in the second half.

Personal fouls, sloppy plays and penalties, that's not us. I'm glad we came back and played like us in the second half. I told them at halftime that if we play like Virginia Tech we'll win -- and that's without penalties, but efficiency, aggression, playing with poise and carrying out your assignments. Louisville did a great job. We were lucky to win. We played more like Virginia Tech in the second half and I was proud of that. We gave great effort.

I'm sure there are some plays he'd like to have back, ... But I'm sure there are also some protections our offensive line would like to have back. And some balls our receivers would like to have back.

If I could go back and change about five plays and make them go our way, we'd probably be happy campers right now. We weren't that far off.

He plays the same way all the time. If it's in practice or on Saturdays, he's always full-tilt, let's go.
