Steve Spurrier Run Quotations

I don't know exactly what our offense is going to look like, ... It should be very similar to what we did at Florida. We hope to be a balanced team with the run and the pass. We hope to be able to run the ball straight at teams, and if not, try to throw it over their heads.

We threw one up, but we should have tackled the guy somewhere. We should have been able to run that guy down, but we couldn't do it. That was just one of the big plays in the game. Nah, 28-7 is no safe lead for us. We didn't force a punt in the second half, so it wasn't safe. They should have scored another touchdown.

He can run out of trouble, has excellent mobility. When the protection's a little suspect, like it is right now, he'd give us the best chance to win.

I was watching him call plays, ... I said, 'That's a fun way to call it.' You go back and throw one 60 yards downfield. If you don't hit it, who cares? You're going to run it for the next play and you get to stay on the field. We're not near in that category.

Our plan will be about like everyone else's - not try to let him run all over the place. Our players know what they have to do. They have to contain. You don't just run straight at a quarterback who looks like him. Hopefully, our guys will get off blocks and sort of corral him.

We were just talking about who was the fastest in uniform, and I said Mike West. He got a good jump and he was gone. That's why we've got him at receiver. We're just teaching him how to run routes now.

We'll go let Antonio throw it around and run it around and see if we can make some plays and stay on the field offensively and slow them down defensively, ... If we do those things we certainly believe we have a chance to beat Auburn.

We have our quarterback whisper. I found that's a lot easier on the ears, ... That way nobody can hear anything but the center. So he just whispers to the center, we snap it and run plays that way.

When you're the head coach in college, the athletic director and president are your bosses, but they do not come in and tell you how to run the football program,

The way he ran the other day, I'd like to see him run again. We're just not making many yards. Maybe he can make some.

We did run a little bit, ... But nothing spectacular.

The only thing we try to do is prepare our team for the real season, ... To be the best we can on Sept. 8. That's what we're trying to do. ... We shoot for balance. We're going to try and hit enough, not too much. We're going to try and run enough, not too much. And practice plenty without running ourselves into the ground. I would imagine everybody tries to do that.
