John Bunting Great Quotations

Mark has a great reputation for developing players and forming relationships with players. He has good character, and other coaches that I have spoken with have nothing but high praise for Mark. His familiarity with Frank and the offense here will help with the transition, and we can be better faster because of his knowledge.

I thought the first half was rather exciting. I saw some great things out there with our running game, which is what I wanted to see.

You know, it makes me laugh because I've got two great kids out there holding and kicking, and I think they went out there and thought they had all day -- like it was in practice, ... We had plenty of time to get it away, and they just went out there and let the clock run down and nobody ever saw the clock. I guess I'll take responsibility for that for not teaching those guys to look at the clock.

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.

We're going to have to do a great job shifting gears in getting ready for something that's absolutely, totally different from what we've faced, ... It puts pressure on everybody. It is another form of the triple option. The forms of deception that they have with their form of the triple option is unique. It was last year, and it is this year.

That's what you look for in a running back, ... He doesn't look really big. He's 185 pounds right now. If he stays on course, he could have a great career here as a running back.

It's great to have those relationships and great to have those kids on our campus,

He's strong. He has great change of direction, and he can run.

It's time. Arthur played a couple of plays the other day, and he's going to be playing much more significantly this week. He's been in our program a long time. He's a very bright kid, he's an intense kid, he's a great team player, and now is his chance to go out and play some football.
