Mike Owens Ball Quotations

We are trying to guard against being too laid back. I don't think they are going to be. We are fixing to play a real good football team. It's going to be tough for us, I can tell you that.

I think (the game) is a good idea. There's good football everywhere.

They are very physical on offense and very run-oriented. They play a straight 50 defense with great athletes, who run to the ball and are real physical.

There is no doubt they are the best football team I've seen in 20 years. They are big, fast ... they have everything they need.

We just didn't play like the way we are capable of playing. Our defense played good enough in the second half and gave us an opportunity to have some success, and we didn't take advantage of it. They are a good football team, they are as good as anyone we've played.
