They kept going hard after the tailback to stop that all night. We went with the reverse to catch that and we got lucky.

One night in practice we just threw him back there to see what would happen - kind of a garbage-can offense - and he did fine.

We have some juniors on this team and I challenged them this week. I wanted them to use this game to not only prepare for the rest of this season but next season too.

I got selfish tonight. This is my last Manual game so I asked them to win it for me.

We're hopeful. We have our fingers crossed.

He's got the physical talent.
