We need our offense to score down inside the 15 or 20. We know we have big-play ability and I'm happy about that - what coach wouldn't be - but I don't want to have to depend on that. I want to be able to grind it out, too.

The caliber of play we showed on defense at this time of the year far and away exceeded my expectations.

I want us to play a good, sound fundamental game Friday night. I want us to block the people we are supposed to block. On defense, I want us to be where we are supposed to be. We are going back to our base 5-3 defense.
