We need to be able to win games like this, ... If you're going to win a championship, you have to win games that go any kind of way.

We're not hitting on all cylinders, defensively. When we're playing good, I'll let you know.

With the (defensive) looks we're getting, I would bet we'll end up running the ball more than we did last year. We feel like we can operate whatever the defense allows.
