They know Maryland. They know we’ve been embarrassed by them several times in the past (Murphy Graeme)
They’re doing pretty good. I’d like to get more pressure on the quarterback at times, … But those guys are giving pretty good effort. I like the way they work. I think they are all guys that are very strong and can run and can understand what we want out of their schemes. (Murphy Graeme)
We have a lot of work to do, … But I’d rather win ugly than lose pretty. (Murphy Graeme)
We think Mozes may be even better at center and Hines even better at guard, … It’s an experiment we’ve tried. (Murphy Graeme)
We’re not ready, but we’re more ready every day, … If I tell both they will play, they will play. But I don’t want them looking over their shoulder, either, thinking they will come out with one mistake. Both give us an extra dimension. (Murphy Graeme)
We’ve got to be aware of where No. 18 (Davis) is on every play (Murphy Graeme)
Why would you redshirt him, and he’d be a 30-year-old senior? … J.R.’s worked hard. He’s gotten better every day. He earned the right to be in there. (Murphy Graeme)
You have to be an unselfish guy to handle this role, … Both of them are. I’d rather have too many bullets than not enough. Both are weapons. (Murphy Graeme)
[Forget some smallish Terriers player, now the foe is Jackson, who is a shade undersized at 6-1, 231 pounds. But it’s a matter of finding and reaching him first. Jackson covers the field better than a carpet layer] and he makes every tackle, … I’m not just saying this, but he’s the best linebacker they’ve had since E.J. Henderson [a three-year veteran with the Minnesota Vikings]. And he might be better than E.J. He’s as good a linebacker as I’ve seen the last two, three years. (Murphy Graeme)
[Rodriguez said Wofford’s wishbone also has elements of a spread offense and often relies on the reverse.] Our defensive coaches really have to get a plan together, … All of our focus to this point was trying to get ready for the unknown at Syracuse. (Murphy Graeme)
[The Mountaineers didn’t substitute on defense against Syracuse because the Orange failed to control the ball longer than six plays on any drive. Syracuse’s longest drive covered 26 yards.] We never had an opportunity to get another group in there, or test our conditioning, … We never got gassed, because they were three and out so many times. We wanted to play more people. That’s a goal of ours. (Murphy Graeme)
[The Terrapins have controlled their series of late, winning four of the past five meetings and five of seven.] We’ve played really badly against them a couple of times, … But we got so many new guys playing, it’s really a nonfactor what happened in the past. (Murphy Graeme)
[Wofford runs a wishbone attack similar to Navy and Air Force.] Their offensive linemen aren’t as big, but they get on you and cut block a lot, … They get low and get on your knees. (Murphy Graeme)
He went down and got it, … It wasn’t the worst pitch in the world. Some guys foul it back, some guys hit it out. Heck, if it’s not for me, we win three games. (Murphy Graeme)
I definitely struggle with the White Sox, especially this year and here at this park (Murphy Graeme)
I hear a lot of what is said about me on those shows, and it really ticks me off. Guys who call and blast me will have an effect on whether I want to come back here next season (Murphy Graeme)
It would be sweeter, … Everybody would like to see the Yankees not make the postseason one year. If Boston wins that division, and we do our job by beating the Yankees, it would be a tremendous thing. It means we’re playing good baseball against a team that sets the standard for good baseball (Murphy Graeme)
Looking for some of our offensive players? (Murphy Graeme)
To get up in there and by right around the top three or four in the league, I can say, ‘Yes, I was one of those guys for one year that was able to save a bunch of games (Murphy Graeme)
We have a lot to be proud of so far this season, … It’s not just about being right there with teams like the Yankees and A’s. It’s about what we’ve developed into (Murphy Graeme)
He was the star of that game, … At that scrimmage, he did everything. He substantiated everything I believed in that he was capable of doing and he did it. (Murphy Graeme)
