I think one reason our sacks are up this year is because of the double teams. Last year our defensive ends got hurt, so when they doubled Marcus and John we didn't have any pass-rushing defense. Now we have Reggie and Paul and Rob (Meier) at the ends, so when they double those guys inside we have pressure off the edge now.

Sacks, they come in bunches, ... Once they start coming then we'll get them. We just have to get more opportunities. Right now we're worried about stopping the run. Sacks, that's the last thing on our minds.
Shaun Ellis
The three ends have 21 sacks, so they're every bit as good as everyone else. (Stroud and Henderson) play well up front, make a lot of tackles, cause a lot of disruptions. The more I see on tape, the more respect I have for them.
Russ Hochstein
We did what we needed to on defense to win. Tyler Harrington had an absolutely fabulous game at defensive end for us. He had three tackles for losses. David Mullen had two sacks and several hurries. Those hurries helped our defensive backs pick off four passes.
Greg Rigoni
That just shows you the power of prayer. My mom told me I was going to make it. She was like, 'I'm praying for you. God already told me it's done.' And I was like, I don't know how that's gonna be done with three sacks.
Tommie Harris
Abel just played great. He had a great game receiving and a great game on defense, with a bunch of tackles and a couple quarterback sacks. He played his butt off.
Dave Craddock
All the fans want to see is touchdowns, touchdowns, touchdowns. They better get used to sacks and big stops, because they're going to see a lot of it.
Brandon Siler
I've probably missed three sacks because of that.
Derrick Johnson
Our first year, we had 76 sacks, ... That's not very good. Playing like this, we'll be right back where we started.
Chester Pitts
You credit interceptions a lot to the 'D-line,' ... Even if you don't get any sacks, pressure is the key. And we had sacks and pressure.
Michael Hawthorne
He's the best athlete on our football team by far. The whole thing with Ben is believing he can do the technique. If he does, he could have double-digit sacks this year.
James Cregg
It's not always about the sacks. It's about the quarterback pressure.
Ronde Barber
It was his first big concert. We had a couple of guys at the door with paper sacks collecting the money.
Dan McKinnon
I know they think Julius Jones is the next Emmitt Smith . I played against the guy in college and he's a good running back but he's not a great running back. We knew we were going to shut down the running. That allowed us to get some sacks and pressure on Bledsoe.
Stuart Schweigert
They were in our face all night. They might have broken Miami's record for sacks. We could never get into sync. They just have phenomenal speed.
Binky Waldrop
The Southern past, the Southern present, the Southern future became one of red clay pine barrens, of chain-gang camps, of housewives dressed in flour sacks who stare all day dully down into dirty sinks.
Randall Jarrell
That's our mentality, everybody's mentality, run the ball and pass second. We're going to establish. We'll run right and run left. We're not going to have 52 sacks this year. I'd rather run the ball every down before we have as many sacks as we did last year.
Kevan Barlow
If I can notch up like two or three sacks, that would be a whole lot better than fumble recoveries.
Alvin Smith
With one man reconstructing 10 pages a day and a sack holding about 2,500, you can see how long it will take us before we have dealt with all the sacks still stored in Magdeburg. There's plenty to do.
Gerd Pfeiffer
I shouldn't be taking sacks. I'm too good an athlete to be takings sacks. I need to get the ball gone or find a crease and run through it. . . . As you can tell, I'm frustrated more on the negative than the positive.
Bradlee Van Pelt
We need to play the run better, the sacks will come. We'll be able to generate pressure on the quarterback. We need to head-butt the guys in front of us and play the run better.
Will Muschamp
I had nine tackles and two sacks. I remember our crowd got behind us and really got us into it. I could really feel it during the game.
Fredrick Thomas
With him at defensive end I definitely [think I'll get more sacks]. That's going to help everybody. It's going to be different. We are an attacking style defense this year.
Jeremy Mincey
I wish I could have a game like that every game, I would end up with like 50 sacks, but teams scheme against you and sometimes you won't be as proficient as you were in a certain game. It just depends on the team playing against you and its personnel.
Demarcus Ware
We easily missed about five sacks. I know I missed one myself. There's no good medicine. You've just got to keep practicing. You get off the line of scrimmage, you get in there, make the tackle.
Scott Paxson
I think we can. As good as our defensive line is playing, I'm more than sure they'll get after him and make him move around in the pocket and get a couple sacks.
Charles Tillman
I've always been a Husker fan. Growing up, I remember the defense had 50-some sacks. Last year wasn't half as many. That's not good. It wasn't acceptable.
Adam Carriker
We got some pressure on him last game. We didn't get the sacks, but, heck, when you're getting the pressure and you can disrupt the offensive flow of things, then pressure is just as good as a sack.
Gerard Warren
They both did a good job. They did a nice job of taking care of the ball. We would like to avoid some of the sacks, but we have to see if the film to see if they weren't getting rid of it or it was a breakdown in protection.
Conroy Hines
What can I say? We haven't [gotten there]. I'm not going to make an excuse for us having only one sack. After five games, [that's] not acceptable. That's why it's a 16-game season. I guarantee when the season finishes we'll be up there in sacks.
Ndukwe Kalu
It's (option spread offense) a big reason why we didn't get as many sacks.
Kamerion Wimbley
They came through and made a lot of sacks. Everybody did their part and it came together.
Teddy Keaton
A win is a win, were happy with the W but there are some things we can improve on. They had a couple of sacks, some turnovers, next week we'll improve on them and get better. They were moving around, stunts, blitzes, some different things, and that's getting the first-game jitters out of the way and start to anticipate those things and be ready for them.
Tyler Reed
People are not used to me playing up there, but it's a position I play very well. It's going to give me the chance to make a lot of sacks.
Dale Robinson
If you're going to have 50-pound sacks thrown out of the door of the aircraft, you've got to have someone on the ground clearing the people out of the area where they're going to fall so they don't hit people.
Larry Thompson
It's all a matter of opinion. The goal is to do better than I did last year, which is more than 11 1/2 sacks. I'm not big on statistics, but that is the goal.
James Hall
I've been looking forward to having eight to 10 sacks, something like that. And the goal as a team is just to win games, go to a bowl game and just play as good as I can.
Jeremy Thompson
If a chairman sacks the manager he initially appointed, he should go as well.
