Karl Dorrell Offense Quotations

Our defense was on the field too long. We played catch up with our offense and that was a difficult task.

Just his experience alone is a big factor. He's in his third year in our offense and he knows it better than anyone.

I think he's a (great) football player. I think his experience on offense helps him immensely.

That was a focal point. It has been since our game against USC. We wanted to get our running game going and keep that (Wildcat) offense off the field.

We have enough skilled people in our offense to give most anybody the football,

This is the best offense we've played in my tenure. It's really been fun to see the potential of what we can do come to fruition.

He's proven that he can win. He's proven that he can win when the chips are against him. He's proven that he can win on the road in a pretty crazy environment. He's the leader of our offense and he's leading by how he's playing.

He's learned a lot. He's grown. He's matured, both physically and mentally, he's the best that he's ever been. Am I surprised that he's playing that way for us now? No. He's been visualizing this type of season for him. He's been visualizing having a great senior year and leading this football team and putting this offense into a position to do what it's doing.

Their offense spreads you out effectively with the run and pass, but they have that third dimension in a quarterback who runs very effectively. When you defend, you don't count on the quarterback being integral in the run game. His decision-making, when to hand off or keep it himself, worries me. He does that as well as anyone I've seen.
