Rocky Long Spread Quotations

(Wide receiver Johnny Lee) Higgins got a lot of attention last week because he scored three touchdowns, but Ebell can hurt you just as much. They don't run the spread offense, but they've got enough threats to stretch you across the field and make things difficult.

The defense continues to improve, and we're seeing some guys start to step up. I'm just not confident when it comes to stopping the spread offense. It's a really tough offense to deal with no matter who runs it.

We struggled with Texas Tech's offense, and everybody has, because they spread you sideline to sideline. It's tough to defend.
