I was just trying to get on the board with this offense. They shut us down pretty much in the first half, but right before halftime we were able to get outside on the quick pitch and coordinated that into the second half.

Their backs gained a lot of yards rushing and that No. 42 (Graves) is a really good player. They use their versatility very well.

We have a base defense, but you can scheme offenses out of. We have different reads when we face different offenses. What you're seeing is 11 kids that can and will run to the football. We are very pleased with that. That is what this defense is built around which is speed.

It is actually a balanced offense over there. Everyone talks about that they throw the ball with all the receivers they have, but they are just as proficient running the ball than they are passing.

We are about 40 percent of what we can be. We are not nearly as good as we can be.

On film they don't look that bad to me. They have some good athletes and are well coached. They look like a pretty good football team. They lost their first game, but that can happen to anybody.

He is our leader on offense. He turns it on during the game and I don't think anyone plays harder as he does.

Both schools are only a few miles apart and I think it is more about the people in the community being able to say for a whole year that we beat you. It is a pride factor involved and that's what makes a rivalry. It is not necessarily the players and coaches, but the community because they are so close together.

They run the option and throw the ball. They run the option every which way you can run the option. It is really hard to get a key on because the different ways they run that. We haven't seen that, but they haven't seen the Wing-T either.
