When you hang with a bunch of 300-pound linemen, you tend to find the places that are the greasiest and serve the most food.

I think the great thing about our offense is that ... we have a bunch of guys that are capable of making plays. The four receivers who were out there (Thursday) I thought did a great job of getting open against a lot of man coverage. I thought the tight ends did a nice job. ... Corey caught a few passes, Kevin caught some passes and spread the ball around. It puts a lot of pressure on a defense.

When your backs are up against the wall, you can stay there and let the other teams keep stomping you, or you can try and fight your way out of it, ... [Sunday] we fought out way out of it.

You need a balanced offense. It becomes tough to throw the ball when it's windy, rainy, cold and breezy.

It's like when I tell our defensive linemen when we're out there we need to get some grit. I think we'll have plenty of grit when we get out there this week.

I think our young linemen are getting better every week. We have a bunch of sophomores and juniors playing in there. They're starting to get off the ball a little bit. Our little backs are firing in the hole. Garrett did a good job; Earl (Thomas) did a great job, and also Kendrick Leblanc.
