Chris Villarrial Quotations

When we're healthy and moving the ball, good things happen,

We just don't want to let a season happen like this again. We have to find out what the problem is and fix it.

We were a smash-mouth team. We'd dink and dunk you down the field and every once in a while we'd go for the big play. We were very conservative, working the clock all the time.

When it's an eight-man front, the back has to beat one guy. We can't block everybody. Knowing he has the ball and he's either going to run them over for a yard or he's going to make them pay, it's nice to know he's back there. I've seen him forearm guys and flip them on their head.

It was more of being winded, ... We were planning on trying to get Duke in there even more than we did. So it was, 'Give Duke a chance there at the end,' and he got a couple reps.

It's going to be very strange playing against some of these guys. But I looked on the roster and there's only five or six guys still left from when I was there.

We're a run-oriented offense. And when you can't run the ball, you get frustrated. We had some frustration early on. But we're getting the swagger back.

It takes a different kind of individual to really think about coming back. That's major what he just went through.

You get a little panicked at first. You think the worst sometimes. Luckily for me, it wasn't. It's treatable what I've got.

They're the best unit in the league and for something like that to happen, you don't expect it to happen. Our special teams played well for us all year, you can't point a finger at them.
