Press Conference: Frank Beamer

Chris Graham

Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer talks with the media. Virginia Tech (7-2, 5-0 ACC) plays at North Carolina (6-3, 3-2 ACC) on Saturday.

Opening Statement

You look at this North Carolina crowd, it’s an exceptional football team. You’ve got a quarterback, Yates, who’s playing very, very well, completing 66 percent of his passes; I think 15 touchdowns on only 4 interceptions. Receiver Jones has been doing great here lately and that goes along with some other guys there. You look at them defensively, the linebackers as a group are just unbelievable, then the front four. I think it’s probably the best defense we’ve played up until right now so this is a real challenge this week, so that’s what we’ve got.
