The lower the kick point, the higher the ball goes.

If you drop it below your waist, it's going to be a flatter kick, but if you drop it higher, it will more likely come off of that at a higher angle, ... It's kind of difficult with the drop to get good timing and put it on foot properly. If you don't, then it won't come off with a spiral or with enough force or velocity.

We had had the 20-3 season, and saw we can compete at a higher level. At that point, we knew we needed to get some tougher teams on schedule. You have to walk before you run, and we don't want to keep fighting an uphill battle. You have to be ready before you put the big dogs on the schedule.

The higher the buildings, the lower the morals

John Hall recovers a fumble, does a somersault, spikes the ball and goes out and chokes on a big kick his next play. I thought that was beautiful.

We like to push the ball, get it in the lane and kick it back out. When we do that, we know we have a lot of guys who can shoot the ball and make shots. Obviously, we made a lot of shots tonight. We're playing with a lot of confidence right now, and we couldn't have picked a better team to be at our best.
