He's a great football player and I hate to see these seniors who have worked so hard get hurt.

Our backs have to hit the hole hard. Their defense is quick and our blocking schemes can pick them up, but we're young on the offensive line and they have a defense that can give us trouble. We have to stay on our pads and keep our eyes open. They're moving targets.

We have to do a good job of mixing it up. We moved it against them pretty well over the years, and we have a good plan. I think we can move the football. We've got a young team and they've responded well. Our kids have worked hard and gotten better. Before it's over and done with, we could have a pretty good team.

Ben is our stud in the middle and the veteran on this team. He's the hardest hitter on this team and everyone really looks up to him for enthusiasm.
