allow bring defend difficult eight football guys line nine playing secondary stop threat throw
The threat of us being able to throw the football doesn't allow them to bring the secondary up to stop the run. They can't put eight or nine guys in the box. They have to defend us with seven, and with our line playing well and our backs, it's pretty difficult (for defenses).

He's a very special athlete. He can run, and he hits. He just explodes on people. ... He's not that big, but he does know how to deliver a hit.
blocking good handle job last line offensive stop stopped
Their offensive line comes off the ball, and I didn't know if we could handle them. They did a good job of blocking last year, and we couldn't stop them. We stopped them on offense.

It takes a lot away from them offensively when he can't run.

I thought our offensive line did a good job of handling those fronts.
demeaning freshman good guys happened hope last talk walk year
It's been going on here forever. You hope guys ... look at what happened just last year and see where they are. There were guys last year who were good enough to have an opportunity, but didn't get to walk in their freshman year and play. It's something we talk about, but not in a demeaning way.

... We have some other juniors who are capable if they have all the other things in line. D.C. Alexander is as talented as anyone we have. We're playing him at wide receiver.

We didn't want to let them hang around.

We're very physical, and that's something we've carried over from last year. It's something we pride ourselves on. ... I like the way our defense played the entire game.
challenged far physical played stop team
We're going to be challenged physically. They are by far the most physical team we've played to date. We've got to be very disciplined to stop them.
adversity chance faced feeling figure good overcome teams trying
We think we have a chance to be pretty good. Good teams execute, and good teams overcome adversity. At this point, we haven't faced any adversity or had to play from behind. So we'll see. I'm still feeling my way through this team. I think they are still trying to figure out how good they can be, too.
