Brad Smith is about as dangerous quarterback as you can get running the spread offense.

Rocky Long

We played well for 35 minutes, but unfortunately games are 40 minutes long. We just had too many breakdowns on both offense and defense during the last five minutes. We have to give Southern credit though. They are much improved from last year.

Dave Slifer

Drew creates a lot of offense for us. That line is hard to deal with.

Bruce Plante

We've gone from the offense to the defense.

Vayl Oxford

We knew Fort Cherry ran their offense through her, at least that's what we saw on film. We concentrated on defending her.

Lance Frederick

In my heart, I always wanted to play offense.

Dante Ross

He's mainly played for us defensively, but hopefully this year he'll be able to play some offense and have a big impact.

Chuck Dickinson

We got some goals accomplished and getting to rest guys is big in a four-day. And we worked on our man offense. We're coming along in that area.

Bill Mellis

We're finally just starting to execute on offense. The guys now know when to shoot and when not to.

Greg Soliz

Our offense starts with the defense.

Scott Timmer

The last week and a-half, we've been playing much better. We're looking a lot better, the offense is running faster. Things are starting to click.

Laura Smith

The offense didn't play as well Friday as it had been. That's a night when you want the defense to come through, and it did.

Ray Braszo

The more games you play, the more chance you have of playing a bad game on offense. Your defense can play good every week as long as they play hard. It's a lot easier to play defense than it is offense.

Tommy Tuberville

(The offense) makes my job a lot easier. I had pretty good command of my fastball and slider and was able to hit my spots pretty well.

Kyle Mcculloch

Not at all. We ran our offense, ran it well. We got great shots. We just didn't hit them.

Sam Hayes

We struggled on offense with our spacing and timing.

Corky Card

We've been playing great defense, but we've got to decrease the foul count and find some offense.

Carolyn Compton

That allows you to do so many things on offense, ... not only in the passing game, but also in the running game.

Cris Carter

He was big for us when we were looking for offense. J.C. stepped up and that's exactly what he has to do. He's a competitor.

Brad Ranson

We have got to take care of the little things and protect the ball on offense. We lost a huge opportunity, but it was confidence building in that we can compete at that level.

Bill Tierney

He's definitely been our offense this year, without a doubt.

Dan Siegel

We were facing the No. 1 contenders for the conference cup, and we matched up with them well. Our defense, yet again, played really well and our offense pushed hard. Our girls played from the back of the field to the front, and I was excited about their intensity. We played through their physical game and stepped up to the challenge.

Katie Gravel

When you're struggling a bit offensively, you try sometimes to generate some offense. Give them credit for making those plays.

Dale Buvid

No offense, but we don't trust you.

John Rastetter

With Tom, we can look to control the puck and set our forwards up more quickly. His ability to score gives the rest of our offense more open looks.

Mark Osiecki

Corporations typically use escalating forms of discipline. If the offense is extreme, the company might choose to immediately place the individual on probation or terminate their employment.

Merrick Rosenberg

We're definitely playing well. When we're guarding and sharing the ball on offense, we're a very good team.

Jason Petrimoulx

When you have two players of that caliber, those two players alone can be such a factor in a football game, ... They can totally disrupt an entire offense.

Mark Bruener

Up here I just found a groove. My offense was starting to come.

Rob Globke

Edmonson makes it look like he does everything, but there is still a lot of good Armand can do for us. He does a good job of moving the offense.

Jimmy Shaver

It's helped me a great deal. I get to study plays beforehand. I'll be leaps and bounds ahead of everybody in my class as far learning the offense.

Ben Tate

We came out and executed very well for three quarters tonight. On offense, we were able to get the ball inside to Charlie (McCormick) and Adam (Benet) and defensively we were able to deny the passing lanes.

Jason Harlow

At that point I thought that if we got off the field and give it back to the offense, it was going to get real interesting.

Jim Grobe

In the first half, we were playing kind of nonchalant. Sometimes our offense is off but we'll still play decently on defense and that will keep us in the game.

Caitlin Hyduke

We had to get used to (their quick offense). We have people in new positions. It's communication more than anything.

Bill Schreier

Their offense centers around penetration, draw-and-kick. Almond is one of the best two-guards in the conference so we have to focus on him and take the perimeter guys out of the game.

Jarekus Singleton

He's gotten to the point where he's a lot more comfortable knowing the offense. He's definitely the ringleader of the offense. He knows the ins and outs. With all the incredible athleticism that he has, he's even more confident when situations arise.

Jonathan Scott

We played a lot better on defense against Lyford and our offense is stepping it up.

Monty Stumbaugh

Jeff is an amazing shooter. He is really going to open up our offense.

Anthony Veliz

We had a good night on offense. We moved the ball well and hit the open people.

Buddy Trask

Our defense played well enough to win this game. We just had no offense.

John Allen

I'm going to naturally make plays. I'm not going to force anything. There's a fine line between just being a gunslinger and running the offense. I'd like to be 90% running offense, with that other 10% being my own personality.

Rex Grossman

[Boston's offense] does wear on us, ... especially when you get two runs yourself and they get three or four more.

Chris Shelton

Our defense won the game, basically, and the offense couldn't back it up.

Ben Tonon

It bobbled in air and I caught it and ran hard. I was looking to score because the offense was not doing too good.

Quentin Jones

This is not a violent offense. It was a consensual relationship.

Diane Polan

No one has to have a great percentage. We need to keep focused on defense. We're not going to win with our offense but with defense, rebounding and not turning the ball over.

Darryl Hill

It?s very important to get everyone involved in the offense. We?re at our best when everyone is involved right away, and that?s what we were able to do.

Nikki Casimiro

We've got a lot more movement on offense, setting up screens. The assists have gone way up as well, so we're playing much more as a team.

Brian Laramee

Kris Canto is to our defense what Nick Clemens is to the offense.

Pat Rice

If a guy goes down at this level, it's like you lose five guys because you lose a guy on offense, defense, on both your special teams and on the bench. One injury will devastate you, and two will end it for you.

Pat Monroe

He'll be around the ball. We'll give it to him on offense and he'll be around it on defense. We just need to find him a little break on offense.

Toby Hammond

Our defense has solidified and our offense is on a roll.

John Brennan

We don't worry about what our offense does. We just worry about us. If we don't let them score, they can't win.

Kelly Jennings

I feel like we're getting better. We did a better job of getting the ball inside to Keri (Erickson) and our posts. They're doing a better job of looking for things in the offense.

Kelly Ioane

I could see time on defense or sit and watch on offense. I'll choose seeing time on defense.

Duane Coleman

The offense did OK. We couldn't pound the ball and made the defense stay out on the field all night.

Danny Embick

Our defense did a great job of shutting them down but our offense really helped our defense tonight because they (Gladstone) didn't have the ball.

Dan Flynn

Individually, I didn't think I shot the ball real well. But we ran our offense inside and got some easy buckets.

Wayne Ellington

I didn't like the feel of the game. We were a little passive on offense and we looked lost. We needed to get organized and I liked the way they came back.

Mark Bailey

Again, we just had a lack of offense.

Tim Nihart

Offense sells tickets. Defense wins championships.

Dave Thorson

We switched from the spread (offense) to the wing-T, going more power and getting it to No. 32 (Cole). We can't get too far away from that guy.

Darren Mckay

Same thing, he started off a little rough, but he settled in, never gave up, threw his pitches, didn't put on guys for free and kept us in enough for our offense to do the job.

Marcus Maringola

Losing Randy Moss, even with all his spectacular catches, probably improves their offense because it will make them a more cohesive unit. All that distraction will be gone. And (Daunte) Culpepper is capable of lighting it up.

Troy Williamson

Our boys could've quit, but they didn't. Our offense came alive, but our defense let us down.

Mike Briggs

They were deadly with their transition offense. They don't need open looks to score, they can attack the basket.

Jeff Hironaka

We showed a lot of guts. Our rebounding and hustle plays got us back in the game, not our offense.

Kyle Brooks

It was our goal coming in to hold him to under 12 points. I think our defense really dictated the flow of the game and it really led to our production on offense, especially in the first half.

Phil Mishler

That's kind of big game for Bobby on offense. He made two big hoops for us early in the game that gave us the lead. From there, his defense did the rest.

Craig Haase

Everybody's going to be back, so it's going to be a plus for our offense. You've got to get into a rhythm, but we can do it.

Willie Parker

I still believe that a lot of defenses beat themselves. There are definitely some big offensive numbers being put up, but I still believe that a good defense should be able to stop a good offense.

Pat Massey

We want a balanced offense. In the past, most of our talent was in the passing game.

John Burrell

Our defense was fine, but our offense wasn't scoring. Ten turnovers doesn't help.

Kevin Lisch

We played very good team defense, especially in the first half, but on offense it was just the big three for us. We didn't get enough guys involved. They have to look to score.

Gary Giancola

I was happy. We played average at best in the beginning, but when we went down 6-5 we got some rhythm going in our offense and scored the next four goals.

Brian Adkins

When there's a good chance you'll touch the ball, you feel invested in the offense. You feel more involved in the game. We don't care where the scoring comes from.

Mike Gruber

That made a big difference because he gives them a spark on offense. We played well in spots, but we hit a lull late after we went ahead.

Jim Huntington

This says a lot for our offense. We can make plays. We just need to keep it going.

Fred Ray

When the law makes the offense simply a biological fact, of simply having a certain chemical in one's body, that steps over a line in the law that has been traditionally accepted.

Richard Bonnie

We haven't had any offense up to this point. Before today we've been averaging about four shots on goal a game.

Pen Burnham

Our offense, for the second day in a row, really saw the bell well. Our middle of the order is really producing early on in the season.

Tina Deese

Our offense was horrible. I don't care if Brett Favre was back there, it was going to be tough. We couldn't block anybody. ... We had no offensive identity.

Rob Konrad

We have a lot of good people on our team. I always liked defense so much better than offense, that's what also makes me feel like I'm a big part of the team.

Danielle Ultican

I was pleased with the job we did in game two. I felt like we really found our rhythm, and the guys were playing well. It was defense transitioning into a really great offense.

Joel Walton

At halftime, we challenged the kids. We weren't executing on offense. After our first drive, we didn't score, and the fumble hurt us.

Al Way

Any time that we get a shutout, that's kind of like a team thing. We believe that the offense needs to control the ball to keep the pressure off the defense.

Jim Bragg

He's better on offense. When he's started at tackle, he's done a good job for us.

Reed May

I think we have an excited Manchester team coming to town. They have an outstanding offense.

Gerry Keesling

We practiced playing defense against their offense for a week. We prepared really hard to beat them, so we knew exactly what they were going to run and we defended it really well.

Kristen Tien

They have an excellent offense; they might have the best offense in the league, ... We haven't beaten them in 6 years. To go 2-0 in the league would be huge heading into October. It would be a great opportunity for our program.

Bob Benson

It was real tough, ... I'm one of the leaders on offense and defense. It hurt me real bad.

Kevin Crouse

We had a lack of offense. We had a lack of effort. We had a lack of heart in the first half.

Craig Scriven

The offense got off to a shaky start but found their rhythm late in the game.

Richard Moore

You want to eliminate the big plays, make them drive the field. On offense, we've got to be very aware of what we're going against. Turnovers will be very important in this game.

Rick Vernon

We did a really good job in our zone offense and knocked down a lot of big shots. We also dominated the glass, which I thought was the biggest key.

Mike Pardon

It was a big comeback for us. It was also good to see our offense get going again.

Ken Ferguson

We needed that badly. It was good to get some scoring off the bench. But the best part about it is that he did it in our offense and didn't have to create things. This was the best that he's looked all year.

Brad Chasteen

It's only one game. We have yet to put something consistent together. With an offense like this we know what we're capable of doing.

Kevin Mench

We need a go-to guy and he's trying his best, not only in offense, but in other facets of his game.

Jorge Gallent

That was certainly an odd game. We couldn't really establish a rhythm on offense but I was pleased with our defense, which really carried us.

Weylan Harding

We missed his presence on offense and we particularly missed him on the defensive end.

Anthony Goldwire

Brings great effort at practice and is getting better on offense.

Morris Hodges

We did a good job spreading the floor, running the offense and attacking the basket.

Michael Perkins

Sometimes we just can't get over the hump. Like I said, we're just going to come out to practice and play the type of game where we can just play defense and create offense.

Dustin Salisbery

We played our best game of the year defensively and showed great patience on offense.

Andy Werner

I'm glad we're getting good pitching right now. Our offense appears to be in a funk. We're getting just enough offense to win games, but I'll take that instead of a loss.

Mackey Sasser

We've always played hard, but as of late we seem to be executing better on offense, being more patient and getting the ball where we need to get it. Our quickness allows us to create some mismatches.

Todd Parker

I've been more comfortable with my offense, so (the coaches) have been working with me on my defense. Things like not getting beat off the dribble. I've still got a long way to go, but I understand what they need from me.

Reginald Delk

The difference in the game was the pressure our guards put on their guards. It looked like (the Senators) were having trouble getting into their offense.

Shane Foster

We just have to let the game come to us. We've got to execute and do everything right. Our offensive line is doing a good job and that's letting our entire offense do the job in the Wing-T.

Greg Peacock

Our offense right now has to come along.

Mike Garland

Our nemesis all year has been offense. When you're struggling on offense like that, the last thing you need is to get down 4-0 in the first two innings like that.

Pete Dunn

You watch film and you see mistakes and you learn from it. I think we have a good offense.

Colt Brennan

We knew the offense was struggling a little bit, so we wanted to come out and play the best we could to keep us in the game.

Lito Sheppard

It's his team now. I'm looking for him to run the offense. I want him to get a better command of everything that we are doing.

Bob Cole

Everybody said he is too small to play college football, ... In this offense, he doesn't need to block anybody. With his speed and athletic ability, he will be fine.

Brandon Mckinney

I am mortified that what I said caused offense and am especially saddened that I created pain for anyone.

Cindi Laws

We did pretty good except for the first quarter. We were just a little bit impatient with our offense. In the second quarter we were very play-conscience. I was looking for lay ups only and that got us back into the game.

Danny Labasan

When we have the right combination it clicks well. It actually helps the offense because of the three forwards.

Tom Burch

We had a consistent running game from all those guys. We'd like to get a few more yards on the ground but we'll continue to work on it. We have an explosive offense with speed and if they just get a crack it's fun to see what they can do.

Jon Reed

Our offense started to click and we were able to put together some big innings.

Don Neise

Hopefully our offense will turn us around. It all depends on who gets hot. We need to get more solid on the field as far as our decision-making.

Mandy Goodwin

We established momentum right off the bat. We were a lot crisper on offense and a lot better with our shot selection. Jonathan Moore had one of his better games all-around tonight.

Marty Barnes

He's (Price) the engineer that drives the train. He does a lot of things. He brings a spark and enthusiasm to our offense. He'll make some mistakes, but he has enough confidence to go back out there and not let it get to him.

Tony Ierulli

Our passing was crisp, and our movement on offense was fluid early on. That combination produced seven goals in the first quarter.

Jim Wygonik

Everything has been real positive so far. The defense played well and the offense made some big plays.

Kenny Moore

It was great. It was everything I expected. We could have done a little more on offense to help ourselves, but N.C. State is a great team and they were bringing the dogs.

Marcus Vick

Needs to be more aggressive but is very tenacious both on offense and defense.

Morris Hodges

They just don't have any weaknesses. They're deep, they're solid, they're talented I really believe they're better than last year, because their offense is so much better.

Mark Samson

I'd like to go on offense fresh, but for the team I'll go out there and do it. We need a veteran guy back there to look after these young guys. If they kick it to me, I'm going to try and take it to the house.

Leon Washington

The game used to be post dominated. The game is now becoming more guard dominated. If you don't have a good point guard you will have trouble getting the ball across court and getting into your offense.

Bob Marquardt

Our bats will come around, it's just a matter of time before they get it going. We've got a great offense, we're not too worried about it.

Tommy Wynn

I don't know Fitch very well and Fitch doesn't know us very well. It's one of those games you show up and hope you play your game and that your defense shows up. You play good defense and execute your offense, you're going to win.

Joe Gaetano

Donald and Nathan will have to pick up the slack this week. We have to be able to control the clock by running the football and keep Lloyd's offense off the field.

Marty Jaggers

We had another good hitting performance. Our offense seems to be coming around.

Keith Louder

I think our zone slowed them down, and allowed us to calm down. It gave our offense a little confidence because we were getting defensive stops. When we get stops, we get excited on offense.

Jim Bolla

We have to continue to work on passing so we can run our offense a little better, ... We have to be more accurate so we can run the faster offense.

Julie Craven

We looked like the kind of offense we want.

Mike White

We'll look for good offense out of John. He's the weapon everyone knows we have and he's one of the top outside hitters in the division.

Miguel Cabrita

We held their offense to one touchdown in the first half. Things were looking good. In the second half, we lost our focus. We knew what we had to do to stop them and we would have stuck with them if we were focused in the second half.

Paul Kenny

We got a lot of good shots out of our offense and just didn't make a lot of mistakes.

Paul Jeppesen

Grant pitched well and the offense was productive early but once we got back on our heels it just wasn't enough.

Jeff Paul

(Smith) says I'm the guy, and they're behind me. I think the offense is behind me, and (so is) the defense.

Kyle Orton

You know you can be a big role in the offense and a big impact player, and for you to be out with a little bang that you can't go full blast or full speed, it's very frustrating.

Bobby Williamson

We just try to keep them out of the post mainly and beat them on offense with our quickness if we are quicker than them. That's all we can do.

Chase Yoder

Foreman threw a masterpiece. His walk was the only blemish in the game as the defense and offense was perfect also.

Jason Jones

On offense, we were being unselfish and I thought that was good. There's a lot of different guys out there that can score for us. Now, we just have to be smart and learn how to use them all.

Matt Hogan

Jeremy is our leader. He has struggled with his offense lately, but it was nice to see him regain his form.

Bryan Brown

We expect to run the floor and play good defense, and we weren't doing that in the first half. We believe our defense will create our offense.

Mariah Williams

Defensively, we didn't give up any big plays. And we got the big plays on offense, ... We're a lot better right now than we were at the same time last season.

Chad Lewis

We got a lot of the guys into the action and they all produced. I'm pleased at where our offense is heading into the season.

Paul Ernest

Alex performed well. We knew if he had to go into the game that he would be able to perform. And our offense never missed a beat with him. The line gave him time to throw and he did a great job. That was huge for us.

Todd Schumacher

I guess we made it kind of exciting in the fourth quarter. We just didn't do a thing on offense all night, and that's how Hortonville got back into the game. That and missed free throws. We got lucky tonight, that's about all I can say.

Greg Vock

We all know Fred is the catalyst of this offense and to see him get that gain up the middle, it's a big boost for the whole team.

Jimmy Smith

Saw your list of 10 most devastating injuries. How can David Boston not be included? I'm assuming you've seen the Dolphins' 'offense,' if you can really call it that.

David Boston

You never feel good about how you're going to stop them. They have a good offense and no one has stopped them yet.

Chris Kirkpatrick

Helping the people of that devastated country is not an offense.

Imran Khan

We have to eliminate big plays on defense, and we have to eliminate the mistakes on offense that we made the first two weeks which stopped ourselves. We certainly can't do that on Friday night.

Rocky Nelson

We wanted to push (MIT) around up front and we were able to do that. Our offensive line did a great job and we ended up playing a very balanced game on offense.

Bill Kavanaugh

Early on we played good defense, got some great looks [on offense] but just couldn't score. You got to give their goalie credit; he set the tone.

Charley Toomey

It's going to be a challenge for us. They have an excellent offense.

Seth Ream

We try to get it to the inside as much as we can because that really gets our offense going.

Chris Hayes

That's what we're anticipating. In the offense they're running I know he's going to be getting the ball out a lot quicker, so it's going to be a lot different than our offense was.

Carlos Emmons

(Cortez) was only a few points away from being a No. 2 or 3 seed. I think they lost something like six of their eight games by three points or less. They had a lot of choices on offense.

Jim Ferguson

They did a good job on the defensive end, but most of it dealt with our offense. We just stood around and basically didn't do anything.

Seimone Augustus

Ryker did a heckuva job, ... Our offensive line played well. The whole offense had a great first half.

Jay Brown

It was a great win. It was really a total team effort - offense, defense and special teams.

Kelly Jeffrey

We kept getting stops. Our defense gave us a lot more opportunities on offense to kind of spread the lead. Eventually, we did that.

Kyle Wilson

The strength of Friendswood, year in and year out, has been their offense. And they are going to bring a polished offense to the game Saturday. There is no doubt about it.

Tim Teykl

In the second half, we didn't stop the run and when you can't stop the run, you won't get many plays on offense.

Bubba Schweigert

We will need pitching, great defense and pressure on offense to be successful.

Chris Kubbs

We're really focused on rebounding and forcing turnovers. We know our defense is there; we need to work on our offense a little more.

Nate Nygren

Our offense did not play that well in the first half. We were able to score one touchdown, but we could not move the ball very well.

Chad Mckelvey

They were the leading offense in the whole area. Our defense did the job.

Tom Dickinson

Every journalist in Europe is agonizing over this issue. This is not about intimidation. It's a complex debate about informing readers and causing offense unnecessarily.

Robert Thomson

Josh is our leader and everything, but we had all our confidence in Chris. We knew as a offense we were going to win this game because we knew the defense was going to play until the end.

Roosevelt Kiser

They were more multiple offense. I'm more of a true spread guy. It's a totally different philosophy.

Rob Senseney

We played all right, but we could have played better. We had a couple of chances to take it to them, but we were a little off with our execution on offense.

Joe Grimes

[Goodspeed's challenger is Madison Hedgecock, a seventh-round pick out of North Carolina.] He's doing well, but he still has a lot to learn, ... This is not a very easy offense.

Joey Goodspeed

When a team is that athletic, you need to be precise and accurate on offense. We did a good job, but we just missed too many open shots.

Marty Sewell

Not that the coordinators know more than the head coach, but they have their specialties. The head coach is coordinating the offense, defense and special teams, and dealing with the media, and the coordinators are very specialized in what they do.

Daryl Johnston

He's a senior and a leader of ours. We're glad to have him and he's doing what he needs to do to lead this team on offense.

Paul Rodio

It was definitely a little bit better match than the last match we played in Hawaii. We were able to accomplish some things offensively ... to have a deceptive offense, a better offense.

Devin Scruggs

He was very important to our team. He was our go-to guy on offense.

Craig Fields

Today our defense and special teams did a good job of making it easier on the offense.

Brad Butler

I'm finally picking (defense) up. Now I need to catch my offense up with my defense. It seems like I was so into defense that my offense has went away.

Shawn Taggart

After two strikes, it was his call to bunt or not. Bonafacio has been a big part of our offense.

Mark Haley

We didn't run the ball once in the second half because we wanted to kill the clock. We needed to keep the ball in our hands because we just couldn't afford to let Wolcott's offense get on the field.

Roger Ouellette

You want to try to have the best game you can have because you will never get the chance to play a home game here again. We played a good game, but we could have done better on offense and defense. We could have done much better.

Bob Burton

I stunk. It was embarrassing. Down 6-0 in the first, I didn't give the offense a chance. I take the blame for the offense not doing anything.

Al Leiter

Offense is such a game of execution and that's what we need to improve. It's a matter of executing in all areas. We have to bring it all together and I think we can do that.

Jack Bicknell

Anytime we go up against an offense that likes to run the football like they do, it?s up to the defense to do the job. We just tried to mix it up with the 3-4 and 4-3. Give credit to the whole defense.

Richard Seymour

In our offense, we spread the ball out. If you don't have a good shot, make the next pass.

Tom Kenna

They say he had a little knee surgery. But it doesn't look like it. He looked great. He caught a couple of passes, did some good things. I think our offense is using him well.

Fred Bennett

I'm getting more confident as the season goes on. This offense is playing up to potential for the most part.

Brian Knighton

We have a lot of learning to do as far as how not to play. We played pretty good on defense, but as far as offense, the way we played was not the way we usually play.

Frank Young

We just couldn't execute -- those guys were executing their offense and getting points out of it and we weren't. That was the difference in the game.

Josh Peppers

Last year, Andre was definitely a lot of the offense. This year, we have more athletes who can step up and make big plays - not just Andre.

Jim Fischer

Our offense has had to carry us and the hitters have really stepped up. To be able to maintain the pace we've set lately has really been something special. And it's not just one or two guys -- it's everybody we send out there.

Jim Sherman
