If we make a first down, the game is over. We had seen what he'd done the series before. That moment flashes by in an instant. We could have sealed win. We needed to do it on on offense and we didn't. We had to stop them on defense and we couldn't.
We don't have that number (of touches) in mind. One of the guys you could compare him to his Marshall Faulk, in that offense of the Rams. We'd be lucky if he could be like that.
We reacted exactly like we should. We had to put a stop to the bad stuff happening before it got too deep and we did that. The defense stopped them for 40 straight minutes and the offense scored seven of the final eight times we had the ball.
Tonight the offense was just rolling. We finally got rolling in the turnover situation. We've been quiet lately. Stanford has been such a stingy team. We wanted to turn that thing around. To get five and give none, we loved that.
This offense needs an aggressive, big running back to build around the rest of what we do. I think that's really the formula for us. I love the downhill, hardball effect we can get from a big running back.
They did a beautiful job, ... We did a really nice job with the offense and I'm real pleased with the opening.
Their offense is really functioning at a high level. They make first downs and move the sticks, and work their way down the field much like New England has been doing over the years. It has been very effective, and it is the same offense.
I can't ask the offense to score slower.
