Bob Derr

She's 6 feet 7, and that's a big presence to have in the middle. But we can't back down and can't be afraid because of her height and defensive abilities and offensive abilities. We just have to take it to her. It's a do-or-die situation.

It was pretty hard (to win). We just played a little better than they did in a few key moments and got some offensive rebounds.

Laurynas Mikalauskas

Reuben is a fighter and that's what we love about him. The offensive line and the tight ends love blocking for the guy because he gives you everything.

I thought we did a good job of guarding them on their offensive sets, but they beat us off our turnovers.

We had a total offensive collapse in the second half. Everything was going our way, but it just fell apart.

She is a total player. She does it on the defensive end, she does it on the offensive end. She has grown so much as a player throughout the years. She just keeps on growing.

You have to give a lot of credit to our offensive line. There were some massive holes in there. I could have scored running in those holes.

He'd beat the offensive lineman, knock the running back down, sack the quarterback and then help all three of them up.

We just need to be a lot more consistent as an offensive line and as a team in the passing game and the running game.

One of the things we wanted to do tonight if we could was to establish some other offensive threats.

She is definitely an offensive threat. If she can get her feet set, she can be deadly.

The offensive line opened a big hole you could drive a tow truck through. I just hit it and got on my horse.

Once recruits some and see the energy Coach Carroll puts out, you'll do anything for the guy, ... When I was a recruit, I knew he was a great defensive coach, and then when I found out he was going to get a great offensive mind like Norm Chow , I was like, 'We can't lose here.'

Shaun Cody

We had a few turnovers early in the game that hurt us. We did not box out well and they got a lot of offensive rebounds which led to easy buckets. They were just more physical down low than we were.

Noel Schaak

It hurts you as an offensive lineman. You look back and see your quarterback with grass and dirt in his face. That probably was the most frustrating game of my career here.

Jimmy Martin

All those offensive rebounds are nice, but they don't mean much if you can't convert them into points.

Agnus Berenato

That's something we've got to get better at. You play a great team like them and they're going to make you make some mistakes, make you do some things you don't want to do. Their offensive attack is designed for him to scramble around back there. He's a great athlete.

Dennis Roland

Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.

Red Auerbach

They claim it's offensive and I've been accused of discrimination and harassment, believe it or not, because of this.

Mike Gray

I'm coaching my son now and I'm more defensive-minded in my coaching than offensive-minded. I think the home run totals in the big leagues are going to come down again. The game is going toward faster, leaner guys.

Steve Parris

Iran has shifted its status from a defensive to an offensive position.

Alireza Jafarzadeh

What's amazing about Bronwen is that she is our best defender, yet she led us in scoring. It would have been amazing to see what she could have done playing an offensive position. But, she is our best 2-meter defender and we will continue to use her there.

Alan Huckins

Our offensive line won the game today, ... We just ran it on them all day, and those guys did a great job.

Cody Pickett

I was happy [giving up only 46]. We needed to pressure them on our offense a little better in the second half and get to the line. They played hard, but we're a better offensive team than that.

Corky Card

It's like 2000. They have a strong offensive line and good running backs.

Bill Castle

We cut out the stuff we think is too offensive ? we cut out a lot of stuff.

Kevin Porter

The biggest thing is that we could never get into an offensive rhythm. We gave up too many easy baskets and let them shoot too many free throws.

Danny Young

That was a big factor. They really hurt us on the offensive boards and got too many second-chance points.

Jody Peters

We talked about how that was ridiculous that a team we out-man in height had eight offensive rebounds in the first half, and they probably had a little more than that. We made the adjustment, and did what we had to do, but the first half was key.

Phil Tronsrue

You can say everybody is so young, but there are a few older guys on that offensive side that need to step up.

William Floyd

I was very concerned the first time we played Troy because they are physical and are better in every offensive category and we are better in every defensive category. It comes down to a battle of which will win the game.

Tina Slinker

It doesn't matter if you are considered a run blocker or pass blocker. If you are an offensive linemen you want to come to Michigan and you feel like you can fit in here.

Mike Debord

Coach Dave Hess made a blocking adjustment on the offensive line that allowed us to run the ball. We put Nate Gingrich in at linebacker and he played with reckless abandon.

I find it very offensive when the government tells me what I can and cannot watch. Censor yourself.

Michael Badnarik

She's rebounding pretty well and she's getting a lot [of baskets] in transition and off of offensive rebounds.

Stan King

I wouldn't consider it our best offensive movement of the ball, but we did a nice job. Tiffany was feeling it. She was nice and smooth and once it left her hands, you knew it was going in.

Mark Peperkorn

We knew we wouldn't have very many offensive opportunities. I think we put in a great effort and took advantage.

Hugo Luna

It was really frustrating for the first five minutes of the game. I just felt we couldn't get into a flow. We were getting shots, but we couldn't get into an offensive rhythm.

Debbie Merrill

Nic is ironclad when it comes to defense, it is really hard to get points against him. He has also improved his offensive thrust and his net play has been phenomenal.

Jim Daugherty

Dobie ran a different offensive set.

David Bosley

This is probably our worst offensive game of the season. Give Mansfield Christian credit. They did a nice job of putting us in that position.

Amy Taylor

A bigger offensive line wears down faster. [Faster linemen] are like gnats. They're all over you.

Jeremy Mincey

I see it all. I see your uniform number. I see the details in your hairstyle. That's when I really feel I'm in tune with what my offensive linemen are doing and I can just see holes opening.

Priest Holmes

The offensive line just dominated, and that doesn't usually happen up here. Our offensive line, pretty much from the start, had their way with their kids. When that happens, you can do anything that you want.

Charly Mcloughlin

He kept his cool and got on the offensive line when they weren't doing the right thing. He even got on us a little bit. I have a lot of respect for that guy.

Cornelius Ingram

Wilt was an offensive force. When he made up his mind he was going to go to the basket and do things like that, nobody was going to stop him.

Richie Guerin

It's not offensive, but it might not quite be church material either. It is just not something you'd see your church perform, but it is something everyone can enjoy.

Brad Marshall

Even though we were out-manned at Porum, we had a lot of offensive breakdowns where one guy didn't do his job. We had a lot of kids on the field who are first-year players. We'll get back to the basics this week.

Tom Butler

You've got to have room to run, but it's a whole offensive unit thing, ... We have to be determined to make up our mind that we're going to get done.

Marcel Shipp

Our offensive line is not near where we need it to be. Our wide receivers are better than where we've been in the past, though.

Scott Stone

They have some unbelievable offensive players. They make very few errors and hit hard. But just making the finals was way beyond our expectations. By far it was the most consistent we've played all year and we played on a high level all day. It was good to see that.

Kelly Knuth

Nineteen and 15 and she?s a junior. She was able to do most of her damage on the offensive end. She?d miss a shot, she?d tip it back, she?d put it up again or kick it out for an open look outside.

Tim Hopley

Our defense did a tremendous job, but we gave up some key offensive rebounds down the stretch that hurt us.

Cheryl Cole

I'm pretty hot right now, because that was a pretty frustrating offensive performance.

Jeff Bowden

In the second half, we got to touch the ball a bit more, giving our offensive guys a chance to get some good looks at the goal. It was really a game of two halves.

Pat Mcdonough

Our offensive line wore them down and we just ran over them.

Jim Darling

The offensive line was dancing around, talking.

Kenny Irons

It takes balance. You need to be aggressive but not offensive.

Paula U'ren

I didn't expect him to be what he is, which is one of our best offensive players.

Gentleness corrects whatever is offensive in our manner.

Hugh Blair

That was probably our best offensive performance of the year.

Rob Bliss

It's always good to have great offensive production. It doesn't matter whether it's the first game of the season or the last.

Carson Kainer

At Arsenal we play a very attractive, offensive style so I always have to beware of counter attacks when you have to shift your position a lot more.

Jens Lehmann

When he came here, he was a big-time athlete. He was a better athlete than a basketball player, really. ... But he's become a lot better offensive player.

Steve Hesser

First of all, all of us on the offensive line are best of friends and were all pretty happy with how weve been doing.

John Herrera

We had some really positive things. The offensive line did very well. The defensive line, when we were lined up correctly, played extremely well.

Mark Elston

We went with a new offensive formation, and it definitely worked tonight.

Amy Freeto

Though they're kind of a small team, they really crash the boards. They killed us on offensive boards when we went to their place.

Danny Starkey

We just had a hard time keeping them off the offensive boards.

Don Allen

The worst period ever for offensive line play? I completely agree.

Glenn Parker

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

So many guys got in the mix for us tonight. Jay got some touches for us, Andy Page caught two touchdowns for us, Drew threw the ball well, and the offensive line continued to block well.

Kody Asmus

If my offensive line makes the blocks then I'll be able to make the runs.

Carl Robinson

The right not to use the name if it is offensive, mischievous, ill-intentioned or inappropriate.

Michael Chabon

We allowed way too many offensive rebounds. We're a young team and sometimes you have to learn through experience.

Joakim Noah

I think it's an offensive term.

Bruce S. Gordon

When you're labeled as an offensive team and you don't do it, it's a little frustrating, but you just have to stay with it. It's one game, but it's a step in the right direction.

Brendan Morrison

I played really well today. I was pretty offensive. I'm looking forward to another good match against Serena.

Vera Zvonareva

To me, if a performer is not demanding money, it's not an issue. But some of them do demand money, and if they do that, it's offensive to hide behind freedom of speech. In America, there is no freedom of commerce.

Roger Wilko

We started rushing things on the offensive end and that only helped them get into their transition game.

Sarah Clapper

They've got a really good team. That game could've gone either way. They're as a good an offensive team as we've faced and they're hungry because they haven't been in the playoffs for a while.

Dick Mynahan

Our offensive line has really come together. If it has a good game, then Ralph will have a good game.

Paul Troth

And they play with the mentality of middle linebackers on the offensive line, and they can move.

Tank Anderson

We needed a win to pick our confidence level back up heading into the conference schedule. We got a lot of it back tonight. Our offensive line was opening holes that our coaches could run through.

Jeff Simpson

He makes the O-line look good. He's the offensive line's best friend. ... He's a very, very humble person.

Marvin Philip

I think it hurt us on the offensive end a lot. He not only scores for us, he's one of those guys that's always active. He's always doing something. He's a decent passer; he really moves and gets things going.

Charlie Coles

We had a good first quarter and then got flat in the second. We kind of got out of our offensive flow. Give them (Surrey) credit for that.

Brad Ulland

I'm not going to call him a defensive force. I love him as an offensive player. . . . Until they focus on getting stops, I don't care who they have as a big man in there.

Sean Elliott

We can play with anybody. We have enough offensive power ... and we're just gonna keep getting better.

Chris O'hearn

He obviously was the offensive leader of the team. He had a lot of speed and he was strong in the middle. He was one of the better two-way players around.

Stan Orzel

I wouldn't say I'm confident. I hope we can. I just know (Charlotte offensive coordinator) Larry (Marsh). I know he's going to throw every formation in America at us. So we'll throw every combination in the secondary at him.

John Weber

That was a big shot. Any time you can get an offensive rebound and kick it out for a 3-pointer that's a big shot.

Darrin Scott

By far, our strength is the offensive line and the quarterback. The offense is much further ahead than the defense right now.

Jim Miranda

We only had 16 rebounds, which really hurt us. They kept getting offensive rebounds and putting the ball back up. It hurt us the entire game.

Jeff Shaeffer

When he's had a big game, he's getting eight to 10 points on offensive rebounds.

Rick Griffith

The key for us Saturday is to establish our 50-50 offensive philosophy. We have to keep Georgia Southern from dictating the pace.

Rocky Hager

Tuesday was one of those nights where the level of play at the defensive end of the court transferred to execution and success on the offensive end.

Sol Jones

I was happy with our offensive output. We've still got a lot to work on.

Pat Morelli

He's had a good offensive season. Defensively, he's struggled. But offensively, he's done a nice job.

Bill Evers

Rebounding was the big difference. We knew that how we did on the boards would be key. We gave up too many offensive boards. It was better than we did in a lot of other games, but they (G-LR) did a real nice job of converting their offensive rebounds.

David Galvin

The second we played much better. I don't know if we wore them down or what, but we were converting on our offensive trips.

Roger Gerlach

He's a great back but I also give a lot of credit to their offensive line. Those guys do a great job of opening up a seam and he does a great job of exploding through it. When he's going north-south, one guy is not going to bring him down.

Rob Kittrell

How often do you see the attorney general go on a sort of a charm offensive? ... I see this as a defensive measure on his part. It is a political campaign.

Laura Murphy

The difference [in the game] was No. 52, Schilling. He made plays. As an offensive lineman controlling the line of scrimmage, that's where football is won and lost.

Keith Alexander

We found this deeply offensive. We tried to remove it.

Ana Gomes

I wanted to keep as many offensive bullets as I could.

Brian Schneider

The offensive line was great. It was one of their better nights on blocking.

Robin Snyder

We are a much better offensive team this Wednesday than we were last Wednesday. We've looked a lot better this week.

Andrew Young

We were a little bit back on our heels. They are a strong opponent. It was a wake-up call. We got a little more intense, stayed more on the offensive.

Sarah Hill

They killed us on the offensive glass early in the second half.

Mark Nore

They're big, they can leap and they're good shooters. They killed us on the boards with 23 offensive rebounds.

Deke Routheaux
