This is our last opportunity to show we're a good football team. I believe this is one of the best football teams Virginia Tech has ever had. Getting to 11 wins would be something--and so would finishing in the top 10.

They got us field position and then the offense stuck it in. It's still a team game. I still believe our offense is going to get more consistency as we go along.

I'm really glad to get out of here with a win, ... I thought it was a hard-fought game. I said coming in that I thought N.C. State was really going to be one of the best teams in our league and I really believe that after playing them.

I made this statement many times. If we can just get the best players from the state of Virginia and keep them here at Virginia Tech, then I really believe we'll play for a national championship, and we've been able to do that once and hopefully we can get back to that game.
