Some people say I may have underachieved when I was in Pittsburgh, ... But you have to have the opportunity to achieve anything, period, much less overachieve. And I think I was a big-play receiver in Pittsburgh. I only averaged 20 yards per catch (actually 19.8 in 11 games last year).

Plaxico Burress

We had the good fortune to come on birds within a hundred yards of the road, and that made it easy on Doug.

Mark Gore

These people have had these boats in their yards for a long time. And in some cases we realize they will need assistance.

Will Davis

I was about 200 yards out, just past the second sandbar, ... And when I heard the scream, I turned around and saw one of the girls swimming towards the beach frantically and the other one had disappeared and there was a big dark spot where she used to be in the water.

Tim Dicus

The defense isn't giving up a lot of points, but teams are getting a lot of yards. We'll have to go back and look at what we're doing and try to correct some of those things.

Charles Coe

They can do everything that they have been doing, except they can't park there, ... You can still protest; you can still march. You can do the whole nine yards. Just don't block the traffic, and you can't park in that particular area.

Jim Lewis

Troy was all about the team. He was for winning football games. He could have passed for big yards if he wanted, but he did what was best for the team.

Jerry Jones

When I was coaching at Kearny High, it was the quarterfinals of the playoffs against Ramona. One of their kids threw the ball 45 yards in the air, put it backdoor over the keeper and the sweeper's head and they scored. (We) were like, 'Oh my God, we just lost on a throw-in!' But, hey, we've done it, too.

Jon Domingo

We had 190 yards rushing against them and controlled the game with our running game. They have to be concerned about that. I know they don't want that to happen to them again.

Tom Rossley

I was skiing with her and said 'whatever you do, I don't want you more than three yards behind me'. She overtook me and she'd gone. She's hammering me at 43 and I've been skiing for 15 years.

Nick Taylor

Trinidad ran the ball well against us, but a lot of their yards came between the 20 yard lines. Our defense bent but didn't break. We created turnovers and forced them into tough situations.

Jason Tice

Now, I like these changes. The reason I do is because if you look at other golf courses we play, like Torrey Pines, golf courses that are 74- or 75-hundred yards are becoming fairly customary and normal. I don't think you want to play a major championship on a golf course that is not in keeping with other courses we play on tour in terms of length.

Charles Howell

I ran through tackles, but there was a lot more yards out there on the field and I didn't take advantage of that. I need to work on that.

Louis Rankin

Mitchell said. ''He's still ticking pretty good. No question the system you run in is very important. How do you get your yards? Ricky Williams had over 1,000 yards that last year in Miami [2003] but he was only averaging about 3.5 yards a carry. That's tough, tough yardage. Your body will only take but so much of that. Corey can get those yards, but he gets them outside, too.

Corey Dillon

It definitely made us limited on some things. Philip Bates has shown, in the time that he's been able to get in there, that he's a strong back that gets positive yards, and he's hard to bring down.

David Elson

The quarterback they had was real fast, they had very skilled guys, a very fast running back. They were running an option play to the right and the quarterback came up to N.D. and went to shake N.D. and flipped the ball out for the option to the running back and N.D. caught it in midair and took it 75 yards.

Priest Holmes

As a freshman, she could hardly kick the ball 10 yards. Now she really sees the field well. She had three assists in our first two games. She hustles and she's a worker. She always has been.

Dan Johnson

You can play hard. You can play aggressive. You can give 120%, but if one guy is out of position then someone's running through the line of scrimmage and he's going to gain a bunch of yards.

Bill Belichick

We've got to quit shooting ourselves in the foot. Defense did an excellent job allowing only 76 yards of offense, and that's our bright spot of the night.

Dan Boyce

People heard it but couldn't see it. It passed probably 400 yards (meters) from my house. There was so much lightning and rain I didn't see anything.

C. Michael White

He wants to be in the game ... and he knows how to out-scheme coaches. Forty-two yards on one play and he wants 43 yards on the next. That is something I love about him.

Aaron Lockett

By the time I was ready to go (back in), Willie (Parker) was running down the sideline (45 yards). They didn't need me.

Max Starks

Mitchell had a great game. He had his best game passing ever going 12 for 26 and still rushed for 98 yards. He did great on defense with seven solo tackles and three assisted tackles.

Matt Clark

I picked it up and moved it 10 to 15 yards and put it by a brick wall to stop people getting hurt...Then it went off. I was blown across the road, and a couple of nails lodged in my leg and I was hit by concrete and glass.

George Jones

Cody continued to run the ball hard and he had several carries of between 15 and 20 yards. He averaged about six yards a pop. Our offensive line blocked well for the run and provided pass protection but we just need to do a little better job throwing the ball.

Aaron Stiegeler

He can hit any shot and he's got a deft touch around the greens. Ask him on the range to hook a wedge 30 yards and he can do it. Or cut his 2-iron or hit a high driver. He's got all of those shots.

Chris Haack

There were a lot of yards we left on the field.

William Henderson

They all hit it a mile. It's not that unusual to see a kid hit it 350 yards. It's just crazy how far they hit it.

Brian Johnson

I really think their game plan was to slow me down and stop me and they did a good job of that. But obviously, they took the (fall) when J.O. had over 100 yards receiving and Brandon Williams had a great game, too.

Brian Calhoun

If you look at the film like we did this morning, he's making more plays after the first and second hit. He just seems to squirm out of there and when guys kind of relax, he pops out of there for 30, 40 more yards. He just never stops. You admire that in a back. When we get people to him, we're going to make sure we get him on the ground and nobody relaxes until he is.

Al Wallace

Hannah took the a restart form 30 yards out and Hilary ran into the box and finished it.

Jon Hammond

When we got there it had affected about 100 yards of the waterway and we were able to stop it and keep it contained before it hit the main Cooper Creek Park.

Jim Bryant

I was very proud of how Matt competed. He is running much better, and he gained a lot of yards after contact.

Jess Simpson

They were pushing guys 4 or 5 yards back. Then (tackle) Bobby Byrd was running 30 yards down the field.

Jerome Harrison

He (hit) 10,000 yards today. You need to congratulate him. It was good to see him get going.

Ben Watson

Keep five yards from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, and a hundred yards from an elephant; but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured.

Indian Proverb

I was on the freeway, 100 yards from the exit, and there was a large explosion. I got to the airport, and there was a bullet in the car.

Tom Lehman

People won't see enforcement officers out in their yards with rulers measuring the height of a blade of grass. Our intent is to be reasonable and we're willing to work with individuals to rectify the problem, whatever it is.

Rick Fulmer

As a matter of fact, in our Super Bowl year in 2002 we went to Denver on a four-game losing streak, ... Rod Woodson took an interception back 98 yards for a touchdown and really silenced the crowd. It was like that in Pittsburgh, too, the same year and in Buffalo. The fans were really on us and we went up there and got it done.

Napoleon Harris

He's strong-armed and impressive. He can throw the ball 55 to 60 yards.

Aaron Owens

We were determined to get running yards, especially after being shut down last week. We really wanted to get LaMont going. And you can't go when there's no where to go, so we really wanted to get some lanes opened up for him.

Barry Sims

The first goal Rodrigo opened it up with was a quality goal. What touch and (he) smashed it from the 18 (yards out). That was exciting.

Joe Favero

I think we gave them more yards on penalties than they had in the first half. Our defense flies around and makes some plays, and we just need to keep that up.

Steve Campbell

Both Mark and J.P. are capable of punting the ball 40 yards.

Pat Mcgroarty

We're working to get the power game back. We don't have [2004 senior] Elton Brown on this year's line. Then, we lose two more guys today. Now, before the year's over, we will be running it inside and gaining good yards. That is the best way to dominate another team, even though it's not the only way to win a game.

Michael Johnson

One magazine had me finishing with 975 yards.

Lamont Jordan

Our offense is a nice rhythm-type offense, and getting yards on first down really helps. I don't know if we even got any positive yards on first down, and when you get behind the chains you struggle.

Tim Brasic

We had water underneath our house. Now we are taking baby steps until they get this beach rebuilt. We used to have 100 yards of beach.

Robert Roberts

Their kid punted it, it bounced once over midfield and the kid flicked it on. The ball was high in the air and Brandon came out to save it, but it was kind of a scramble and the kid headed it in from around 12 yards away.

Mark Kalat

Jeff has fullback toughness and tailback speed. He's an outstanding blocker and is a guy who can get the yards when we need them. He really makes us a tough offense to defend because he's a guy opposing defenses have to pay a lot of attention to.

John Andreoli

He was at least seven yards offside.

Augustine Eguavoen

We had the ball with two minutes to go and 70 yards to go and we had a shot to tie the game at least. We were very happy with the way our kids performed, but we need to be a little bit better on defense.

Mike Curtis

I was proud of the (offensive) line. They fought. They really did. (Sam Houston) had eight guys in the box a lot of times and we were still getting 3 or 4 yards. (The) backs were running hard. They were fighting. You could see it in their faces out there.

Kevin Kolb

I think it's actually easier for me to simulate him than it would be a Peyton Manning, ... but you can't do it to the full extent. You can't stand there flat-footed and sling the thing 65, 70 yards off your back foot, or when you take off and run.

Doug Flutie

(If) they're so set on stopping the run, when you do get four or five yards a pop and then break a long one, that definitely proves you're taking control of the game.

Roberto Garza

One of our assistant coaches, Lou Holtz, had a bet that Keyes would not get 25 yards. We skunked 'em.

John Brockington

It was about this high inside my house, ... Hurricane Camille's water stopped about 200 yards that way so I felt safe at 27-feet above sea level that I could build my house, but obviously I was wrong.

David Kenney

We knew going in that they were going to zero in on Kevin, who still had 115 yards in the game. Now, we've got another weapon - teams have to prepare even harder.

Joby Scroggs

We have some big kids and a kid that can throw the ball, so every time we get a throw from 40 yards out, we try to put it in the box and let our trees go after it.

Dom Wren

I played with Tiger [Woods], and I probably felt like you would be out there with me. Tiger is getting it by me about 50 or 60 yards, so it makes you inferior with your ability to hit the ball.

Greg Norman

I think I'm showing them they can put me in certain situations, and I'll be able to get them a quick 5 or 7 yards.

Chad Owens

I know how to use my jumping ability to get the ball. I know how to use my body to keep defensive backs off me. I get good yards after the catch and after I'm hit.

Jarvis Williams

Their offense concerns us immensely. To me, they're very scary offensively. They have a quarterback who can throw the ball 60 yards and four guys who can go catch it. If they get hot, they can put a lot of points on the board.

John Weber

For me to be a starting running back in the NFL and somebody says that I could play 16 games, but I won't get 1,000 yards, for me I look at it as a slap in the face. That's one of those slaps where I say, 'OK, you can slap me once. But at the end of the season, I want to make sure I'm hitting you back with a powerful punch.'

Lamont Jordan

Neither is real big, but they have good speed and they really look for each other. When they get within 25 yards, they will shoot from anywhere, with either foot.

Jeff Vagell

We feel like we can get a few yards of offense on any play. We just felt the smart play was the field goal. That put us up more than one score. We needed that.

Mike Settles

After a missed tackle, usually you're thinking you're going to get caught by a linebacker or some back. After 20 or 30 yards, no one came close from behind.

Steve Heiden

Our offensive line played great and dominated up front. We got holes and great push, and Vining was running hard and over people and getting extra yards.

Chris Kramer

He did a tremendous job in the spring. He played last year. He played against Boise State (8 for 16, 138 yards) and did a great job. He played bits and pieces in other games. He did an outstanding job in the spring game. He started bad, but by the end of the day he completed 60 percent of his passes.

Dick Tomey

It's a defense that ranks first in our area, and amongst the best in the entire state, allowing only about 92 total yards a game.

Rodney Lloyd

We aren't going to be cutting any residential trees. Upon further review of the science, the (U.S. Department of Agriculture) decided it would be would be pointless.... You just can't keep going into people's yards for the next 50 years.

Liz Compton

For sure I wish I could go out there and do good. I wish Wallace the best, and I would really like to throw over 100 [yards] and run for a touchdown.

Jonathan Moore

We're getting a lot of inquiries from retirees wanting homes with smaller yards, less maintenance and features that can accommodate their needs as they get older.

Dr. Gaylord Hanes

I love having the ball in my hands. I don't think I ever really will have it here at Boise State. That is where I thought my strength was in high school. It was kind of fun for that brief 40 yards to have the ball in my hands.

Marty Tadman

[7 Yards away from a score, QB Ty Detmer's pass was intercepted by Marquez Pope in the end zone. It was one of two picks the 49ers made in the 14-0 wild-card win over the Birds on Dec. 29, 1996.] The division was there for the taking and we didn't take it, ... This game was there for the taking in the first half and we didn't take it. That's where we're at.

Jeffrey Lurie

I thought the turning point in the ball game was when we took it 99 yards. We felt like if we could correct some things defensively we would be all right.

Jim Drewry

I tried to get a big enough lead so he couldn't catch me. I thought I was by myself for the last 400 meters, but I guess I lulled myself to sleep. Craig came on so fast and I had no strength to catch him. ... The finish line looked closer than it was, but with 150 yards to go, I knew I lost it.

Alan Webb

My personal vision is to take the best part of the Orioles' Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards, ... One thing I've learned is York has a real tie to Baltimore and the Orioles.

Peter Kirk

I'm just worried about winning games, ... Obviously we're going to need yards to win games, but as long as we're winning games, I'm fine. If that means me catching lots of balls, great. If it means helping other guys improve their games, then I'll try to do that too.

James Hall

We didn't give up the big plays tonight. If you can limit the big plays you give yourself opportunities. Make people earn things and make them go 60, 70, 80 yards.

Bob Mitchell

We had the wind at our back. We didn't have to march 70 or 80 yards. We could have gotten the ball to midfield or the 40 and had a chance.

Bob Biggs

Their yards are almost pure limestone. There's almost no soil.

Rose Lord

Everybody is getting down on Daunte. It's the same guy that's thrown for 3,000 yards in three seasons. Same guy who's been to Pro Bowls. ... Brett Favre has thrown interceptions, and he's kept going.

Marcus Robinson

We knew going in that there was going to be multiple backs in there. If we had ran just two guys, I can guarantee at least one of them would have rushed for 100 yards.

Todd Moody

They were beating us with fists and batons and were kicking us. Then they cuffed our hands and also dragged us to their base, which is about 15 meters (yards) from the governor's office, where they also beat us and frightened us with dogs before releasing us before sunset.

Bassem Shaker

I kind of fell short of what I wanted to do. I wanted to have 200 yards in the first game. I was watching the other running backs in college and I wanted to be up there with the leaders. That was a pretty good game for me, though.

Michael Bush

They went both ways today, a lot of them went both ways. That was unfortunate. We had the ball down there in the red zone, and all of a sudden we're 30 yards back.

Matt Kelchner

Tyrone's a big back and he's physical. He can take the load. You can give him the ball and he's going to give you three or four yards just because of how hard he runs the ball.

Jon Beason

Our (offensive) line is amazing. If the line gets off and gives the back five yards, it opens up a lot of things. I can't stress enough how well they do.

Stan Smith

For two years in a row, Andre Johnson led the league as a receiver in yards after catch. Had Corey had enough catches, he'd have blown him out of the water. So this guy's a legitimate big-play guy. Once he catches the ball, he can outrun people.

Kippy Brown

It was a back-and-forth game, before we finally got a surge late in the second quarter. To gain the yards on the ground we got tonight, it shows that the offensive line is doing a great job.

Brent Ward

Three games make a trend. Charles, who has failed to turn the ball over this season, is averaging 116 yards per game and 8.8 yards per carry and hasn't missed a blitz pick-up.

Chip Brown

It's hard to throw for 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns in good shape or bad shape.

Brett Favre

I told the kids I didn't care how many yards (Wayne County) had; I just wanted to keep them out of the end zone. That's what we did.

Leslie Mote

We want to stop the run first and then force them into a passing game. I think that's what we did two years ago when we went up there in the rain. We stopped FSU tailback Greg Jones for 15 yards on 13 carries. That just lets you tee off on the quarterback.

Thomas Carroll

Someone will have 1,000 or 1,500 yards. Now whether that's one or two or three guys doing that, I don't know yet. But when we won the state championship [in 2001], we had five different fullbacks start a game.

Mark Hackett

If you look at the (Howard Street train) tunnel fire for instance, we evacuated a small contingent of people in that area, plus Camden yards on top of that. But if you were at the Inner Harbor having dinner, you didn't even know the tunnel fire was going on.

William Goodwin

We've had key players step up and it's good to have those, but it really is a team effort. If our line doesn't make the holes, our backs won't gain yards. Our attitude it outstanding and we're working together as a team.

Mark Mazzon

The offense was unstoppable at times, but we just couldn't get the ball in the end zone. We had almost 400 yards and only 16 points, and that was mostly because of assignments and effort.

Tom Sawyer

[Dudley spotlighted the work of blockers Deacon Young, David Bailey, Jason Patsel, Rick Tuifao and centers Mike Elledge and Stevie Williams.] We got over 300 rushing yards Saturday, and over 100 yards passing, ... The offensive line has done a wonderful job.

Bill Dudley

I try to swim my own race for the most part. I try to stick with them for the first 75 (yards), then save enough that I can sprint to the finish.

Josh Eaton

Within the 20, there's only 30 yards to work with, which is an advantage for the defense. As the season goes on and we get better with it, I don't see us having a real big problem. It's tough right now, but it's something we're going to work through and solve.

Langston Walker

He is pretty intense, so we try to get him to be a fullback. He puts his head down and tries to run someone over. He's willing to take what he can get and take the hard yards. If he needs to knock over the goalposts, he can do it.

John Nealis

You might not see it in the statistics, but we really played well on defense. Most of [Rensselaer's] yards came in the fourth quarter when we played our starters.

Doug Luke

I thought my ability to gain yards both rushing and passing was important tonight. Green Bay was ... double-covering some of the receivers and only rushing four linemen, so it's important for a quarterback to use his speed against that kind of defense.

J.p. Losman

Our kids didn't quit. We talked at halftime and on our opening drive we go down and score. In the second half our defense held them to 47 yards of total offense. We came back in the second half, but we just came up a little bit short.

Richard Moseley

There are a lot of people in the lawn service that are non-English speaking. Customers and different people were telling me that they have a hard time trying to communicate with them about the work they want done on their yards. I just want to let people know they at least can communicate with me when I do work on their property.

Mike Gray

I enjoy golf, but I am not a golfer. I scatter everyone within 200 yards. When my sons, grandsons or my son-in-law come down, I go out and play golf.

Ron Robson

I imagine (Wesleyan) got a lot of yards passing. It was a bend- but-don't-break defense. We had a lot of red-zone stops and that was good stuff. I was really proud of our offense in the first half. We just couldn't get it cranked up in the second half and I think that was a real difference.

Jimmy Chupp

When I arrived at the broken pip, after crawling several yards under my house in the mud, grumpily; the black widow spiders noted my ire and fled. So, I was able to fix the leak unharmed by neurotoxic venom.

Owen J. Mcclain

It puts a lot of pressure on your D-backs (defensive backs). We need to tackle. They're going to complete some passes. We know that. We just need to not let 10 yards become 40 yards.

Denny Pelley

His 51-yarder didn't clear the bar by much but his 47-yarder was good by another five or 10 yards. He hit it really good.

Al Minnaert

I'm happy that there's no points on the board. But we still have a long ways to go. We had some poor tackling (Saturday). When we tackle like we should, I don't see too many yards on the board.

Jerry Montgomery

When we used to play, somebody might break loose 50 yards down there, wide open, and somebody else might come across the middle with a guy all over him, ... Where do you think Brett is going to throw? He's going to throw to that guy who's got 16 inches between him (and the defender). He's still like that, you know?

David Peterson

People are concerned about what happens to the national forest and to state trust land. But when it comes to their back yards, it's a whole different level of concern.

Richard Bishop

I'm absolutely convinced that the proposal that they made last night moved inches, where yards need to be advanced.

Steve Macfarlane

I was hoping for 3-4 yards.

Rick Rodriguez

He is great, he runs hard. He's studied the offense pretty well. He sets up my blocks pretty well. I think he is going to gain a lot of yards. It is going to be fun to block for him. I have blocked for a lot of good running backs, and they can really make your job easier by setting up blocks, making the correct reads.

Chris Hetherington

We knew coming in that if we could crack the line we have a couple guys who could get some yards. A.J. Williams and Travis Brent are our thunder and lightening. Travis goes through and knocks them back while A.J. goes through and just darts.

Joel Gray

You can't try to stop Marcus Vick. Vick will get his yards.

Randy Shannon

I'd get a sandwich at lunch and sit on one of those benches in front of the courthouse. And it occurred to me how much fun it would be to try to hit a golf ball into the river -- don't think you can do it now, it's probably about 500 yards away -- but it would be fun to try.

Joe Sullivan

I chased him through a field a few hundred yards, ... He resisted arrest ... pushing, pulling, kicking and was completely non-compliant while I handcuffed him.

Joe Howell

He let me know it was going to be a physical game and just keep on pounding. You might get two or three yards, but you are going to just keep on pounding.

Maurice Morris

If you had told me before the game we'd hold him to under 100 yards, I'd have said we'd have a win.

Brandon Villarreal

Again, our offensive line played real well. We rushed for more than 300 yards for the third straight game.

Bill Ingersoll

He's so powerful. He's probably the most powerful running back in the league right now. He's not really elusive, but you think you've got him, and he ends up falling forward for more yards. That's the kind of back you want on your football team.

Greg Ellis

Iraq is 50 yards outside this tent. We've never put highly skilled, sub-specialized surgeons this close to the battlefield.

Col. Elisha Powell

There's 10,000 cubic yards of dirt that could come down. Every time it rains, more comes down.

David Knight

I thought they played great. They gave up few yards here and there, but when it really counted they kept 'em out of the end zone. It was a great showing by those guys and really restored some of that confidence we maybe lost.

Travis Lulay

I?ve had a lot of big moments there, ... I think every time I played there in high school I had well over 100 receiving yards. It?s going to be exciting going back there and playing. A lot of people I know are going to be there. It?s going to be like playing in front of a home crowd.

Reggie Brown

When we got to the patient, the dog was a good 50 yards away. He kept creeping up and barking at the firetruck.

Joe Brown and David Brown

In years past, they've actually had to fight fires in back yards of people's houses ... So, this prescribed burn is meant to try to prevent that from happening again.

Mark Nelson

I felt I hit it well. If I could rate it (out of) 10, I would give it an eight. I actually had a bit of a smile on my face because I thought it was going (in). The last 10 or 15 yards, it lost some steam. I'm upset but, at the same time, I'm going to learn from it.

Sandro Deangelis

It was shocking. They had 300 yards in the first half. When coach told us that, our eyes got big.

Jonathan Wilhite

This guy's got bullet speed. So he can do things I can't coach. That no one can coach. He can do things that only guys with that kind of talent can. He'll cover 60 yards at times to make a play. He's intent. And that's what makes him tick. If he ever loses that, he'd be just another guy.

Larry Coyer

Last year at The Players Championship I bogeyed the last hole to miss the cut. When I came out of the scorer's tent, the last thing I wanted to do was sign autographs, and they're lined up for 100 yards there. But I did it.

Patrick Sheehan

That was the biggest challenge I've ever done myself. It was my first marathon. I was almost relieved to see them because I knew I was only 600 yards from the finish line, at that point.

Kris Biagiotti

I did not feel like we came out and played with the necessary intensity in the first half. The Kings scored on a pair of excellent plays. One guy scored from 40 yards out and another on a bicycle kick. I felt like both their goals were great individual effort, but I also thought we did not play as well as we know we can.

Mike Freitag

We had pushed them all over the field, but for whatever reason, we weren't able to score. Then, in the last 45, 50 seconds, we went something like 80 yards and beat them.

Norm Doolittle

[North Central] did a very good job stopping our running game [141 yards]. The last three years our [passing game] has evolved.

Martin Brown

In most Egyptians farms, the level of hygiene is good. The problem is with urban yards where poultry and humans share the same living space.

Talaat Khatib

Three hundred something yards and five touchdowns, that's what I remember. A lot of guys missed tackles. We can't have that against a back like that because he's very explosive, and he's got a lot of speed.

Dashon Goldson

[By: JAY PARIS - Staff Writer SAN DIEGO ---- Darren Sproles is contemplating how deep is deep at Invesco Field at Mile High.] If it's real deep, I'm not going to bring it out, ... But if it's like 2 yards? Yeah, I'll bring it out.

Darren Sproles

In the past, there has been up to 100 yards of material in the basket.

Jan Connelley

We didn't stop construction this winter. We've got more than 12,000 cubic yards of concrete in there now. It's more than half way.

Ken Beck

Length is not an issue for him, ... Heck, he hits it 5-10 yards past me. He hits it as far as he ever did.

Bart Bryant

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

Mickey Crouch

I didn't know how far it was. Thirty yards, 50 yards. We just go out and do it.

Paul Bowen

They are very fast and they like to mix it up. They're definitely going to get after us, but they don't look like they are invincible or unstoppable. I think my decision-making is going to be big. I don't see my role as being to light the place up and throw for 500 yards.

Hunter Cantwell

The range is 40 yards and in, preferably 30 yards and in. And every manufacturer will tell you the same thing.

Randy Wood

I told them we had 98 yards to go, but I didn't know it would take 16 pays to get all of it. We executed up and down the field. The run game, the pass game and protection were great.

Jay Fiedler

I was so concerned with trying to make the big run that I didn't nitpick to get the three or four yards. That's something I have to work on.

Lamont Jordan

The cable is 500 yards that way, ... But the cable company won't run a line over here for just one customer.

Bill Rogers

That filly had a couple thousand pounds on her back the last 50 yards. I don't know how she won with all of us riding her.

Michael Pons

He would have gotten about 100 rushing yards.

Markus Manson

It means a lot, but I really don't worry about (reaching 1,000 yards). I just get out there and play my game.

Domanick Davis

He's a huge impact, ... Any time you can turn around and hand the ball off to a guy you know is going to get positive yards, that's big. That's big not only for the momentum but big for the passing game.

Kelly Holcomb

He may have played his best game of the season tonight. His ability to distribute and throw the ball 60 yards downfield, and boot it 70 yards downfield allows Leach and Smith to become very dangerous offensively.

Dwayne Lawrence

When we're 25 yards away from the goal, we have to score. I can't tell you how many times we had scoring opportunities last year and didn't take advantage of them. I think that loss to Lincoln-Way really frustrated a lot of people. We just couldn't score and it was a bad way to end the season. I think these guys remember that game and want to make up for it.

Jack Ferraro

When you work in training all week and throw everything in the box, it is cleared. But then, in a game, if you are not there then there is no point. I don't mind if people are scoring world class goals against us - but not from three yards out.

Paul Lambert

Honestly, I was supposed to line up on him and just beat him up for 5 yards, and then drop back underneath him in zone. It was great. I knew Marcus was over the top, so my whole job was to beat him up.

Kevin Bentley

It was a big night for us with the turnovers. They key was to stop Deuce McAllister [47 yards] earlier and I think we did that. Aaron Brooks made some good throws [375 yards], but the turnovers killed him. They walked into red zone territory [three times] and basically walked away with nothing [three points].

Antonio Pierce

(The line) got after them, that was a big thing for us. Vincent Simmons picked up some tough yards for us up the middle.

Dan Fauser

I don't have a big part in our offense. I didn't allow a sack and that's all I care about. I'm not a primary weapon catching the ball and I don't worry about receiving yards or touchdowns. I worry about wins and losses.

Josh Parry

That was nine yards he should have been able to gain. It was just an amazing run.

Doug Dixon

I'm a very loyal person. I lived 5 yards from their school and they didn't offer [a scholarship]. I don't understand it.

Oliver Hoyte

The most impressive thing to me about him now is how many yards he gains after contact. He doesn't give you a big target to hit, and he's exceptionally strong.

Jere Adcock

That's the most yards I've ever had on any level of football, ... It's like everything came together. My linemen were great, and each time I saw a hole, I hit it hard as I could. We played a lot more I-formation, and I like that. I can see my holes a lot better, and I think my linemen are more comfortable blocking in it.

Willie Lanier

They beat us on a Hail Mary, going 86 yards in 16 seconds at our place. That's not supposed to happen with your own clock-keeper.

Scott Stoker

I wanted to go to state and win state and we did that. I wanted to get a 1,000 yards and I got that, so I had a great year.

James Jackson

That would have been meant a lot. Seven hundred and one yards, that's a lot. That's something special. Just think if we don't make some of the mistakes that we did.

Kyle Brown

Our team is coming along, ... We're playing with a sense of urgency. But we're playing the game like it is supposed to be played. We held Charles Henderson to 10 yards in the second half. That's pretty good.

Joseph Pierce

He's about ball security, he's about blocking, he's about yards after contact, and the rest of the guys know that.

Tony Alford

You think you've got a guy down, and he throws it 40 yards across the field, and you have to run that far. It's kind of a pain in the butt. But it was smart by them. They needed to get into the end zone, and they were doing everything they could to do that. It was desperation. We'd do the same thing.

Corey Mckeon

We had something like 200 more passes than rushes attempted on us last year because no one could run on us. When you look at the stats, it may seem kind of crazy that we're giving up all these passing yards, numbers can lie. We're going to be good against the pass.

Drayton Florence

Now I am within thirty yards of him. He must fall. The gun pours out its stream of lead. Then it jams. Then it reopens fire. That jam almost saved his life.

Manfred Von Richthofen

France deserved to keep its own great naval yards.

Francois Bayrou

From the starting kickoff we controlled the tempo of the game, playing hard for all four quarters. The offense was on fire, controlling the clock and ball, rolling up 316 total yards and the defense overpowering (Truckee).

David Slater

Did I ever get lucky. I hit it dead in the middle of the ball. It would have gone 125 yards if it didn't hit the bank. It hit right into the face of the bank, popped straight up in the air and ended up about six feet from the hole. It was the best break I've ever had on the golf course. I think he really started pressing a lot after that.

Austin Eaton Iii

We live 200 yards from them now. My daughter's husband got a job in Tampa last summer and we decided to follow them here from Overland Park, Kansas. We're not too fond of the snow and remembered loving the sun down here when I coached in Fort Lauderdale.

Ron Newman

[ohn McCoy is running from his childhood dreams. Running hard.] I would have dreams of me getting zero yards the night before the game, so when I would get the ball it was, 'That's not going to happen today,' ... So I ran as hard as I could, and I still do.

John Mccoy

Once the ferry terminal is moved (about 1,000 yards to the north, where construction is rapidly moving toward completion by early 2006), no one will ever remember that it was a rescue site. That's why we wanted to make sure it was put there.

Richard Turner

One of Louie's goals was to get 1,000 yards and he got 1,800. He almost doubled his goal and he broke the school record.

Trent Nelson

He's worked hard to improve his punting and that played a big part in the win. Of course, getting two field goals of 40 yards or more was nice.

Al Wolski

I think it is definitely a realistic goal; that is why he set the goal. You very rarely set goals that you don't think you can actually achieve. I think in his case he knows it's possible, and he's confident in his ability. And this offense can get him to 2,000 yards. It's definitely a challenge, but it is definitely there for him.

Ben Leber

The wind played a bit of a factor. It kind of affected our play, but when you had that wind to your back it became easy to serve the ball up or shoot it from 40-50 yards out.

Dennis Derflinger

We evaluated lions on the same spatial scale that females and males evaluate them, which is from 20 to 30 yards away. The elbows, ribs, back, belly, flanks—those are areas that you only see thick in northern zoos.

Bruce Patterson

We can't play like rookies. I told my dad (Aaron Turner) on Saturday that I would gain 150 yards. I came so close.

Cadillac Williams

There's no doubt he (Surf Cat) cost me the race. I'm trying the best I can to slow it down and he's on me. My horse ran great, but he just fell apart the last 20 yards.

Patrick Valenzuela

Our offensive line did an outstanding job tonight. I thought if we would win the battle up front we would win the game. When your tailbacks are averaging over 12 yards a carry, that says a lot about the big boys up front.

Richard Moore

With 11 games left, I'm going to get those six yards.

Bob Mcmillen

Right here in our back yards are the sites of battles and campaigns that are as important in our history as the Civil War, ... Our knowledge of those wars lags far behind the Civil War. When I give talks, people seem to be astonished by the depth and variety of history along the lake.

Howard Coffin

This estuary was a 40-foot-deep holding area for arriving salmon, and for juveniles heading out to sea, ... Now a wedge of sand and rock extends all the way upstream to Honeydew. Some estimate that area holds 80 million cubic yards of fill.

Chris Larson

In high school, it's a critical position. A bad snap is worth 50 yards of field position.

Bob Snell

It will be like an old fashioned '50s carhop, with poodle skirts, burgers and the whole nine yards.

Kathy Parsons

He ran the way most back were taught to run - low, bent over. He wasn't very elusive, but he was very powerful. He'd get the 4, 5 yards then when people ganged up and hit him, a lot of them would slide off, couldn't get a good wrap on him and he'd get another 4 or 5 yards.

Gayle Kingery

I'm pleased we won. That shows character. ... I'm more concerned with the fact that we found ways to self destruct. It's the same as was last week (against Florida International), three turnovers and 90 yards in penalties.

Bill Snyder

The guys blocked well for me and I wouldn't have gotten many of those yards without my O-line and the receivers-it was a team effort, ... And Ben Brown is one real tough boy-he's steel. That's what I call him, my steel man.

Roger Butler

I was really happy with the way Michael ran at the end of the game because that is something we've been working hard on, getting the tough yards and the physical yards.

Bobby Petrino

We knew they had a good running game but a lot of the added yards they got had to do with us not tackling. It's something we have worked on this week and we've put an emphasis on it and the fundamentals it takes to do it.
