It's a dual-sided thing. As much as we knew in our dugout that we could come back against East Carolina, they knew it too. Maybe we didn't do it all by ourselves.

We've got high expectations this year. We like to think we're going to play for a national championship, but if we're going to play for a national championship, we've got to play better than this.

That guy, if he's not the first pick in the country, I'd be awfully surprised.

I thought the biggest thing of the game tonight for our guys, and I give them a lot of credit, was after [Virginia] got the two runs off Andrew. Knowing how tough Doolittle is - he one of the toughest pitchers in this league - to bounce right back out there and get two runs, that to me was a big point in this game.

I heard him yell at [All-America first baseman Aaron] Bates the other day. Not many people yell at Aaron Bates . That's when I knew Caleb Mangum had arrived.

You can say what you want about his stuff, but his makeup is off the charts. And he has great stuff. That's what I told him.
