46 Quotes by Ralph Friedgen

We deserved to get beat the way we did.

We really had some opportunities, especially in the first half. Virginia Tech is one of the best teams in the country. When you get opportunities, you have to be able to take advantage of them.

Obviously I would like to have more kids from the state. It's getting tougher because of the success we've had - there are more schools in here recruiting.

Right now, it will probably be easier for Joel to come in than to start.

I was really pleased with the way our defense responded. We had a very very good game against a very good rushing offense. And we got some turnovers, which isn't something we have been doing lately.

If we don't get more physical at the line of scrimmage, we're going to struggle running the ball. They're just starting to learn what it takes to really run the ball against a good defense.

I don't know who's better than those two guys. It was like dueling punters. Both of them hit it like it came out of a machine.

I can honestly say that I think we're ahead of where I thought we'd be at this point. I thought we'd still be searching at quarterback. Joel has had a good spring.
