Mike Redwine Quotations

We ran the ball more and had to run a lot of two tight end sets because we didn't have enough receivers to run our four receiver sets.

It all starts with pressure. They also put the ball up for grabs a couple of times.

I think it took Adam until the second quarter to get comfortable. He may have been a little anxious and trying too hard early, but he is definitely the right guy for this program.

I was very pleased with our defensive performance in the second half. I realize they were conservative, but I was really pleased with our run defense the entire game, especially with us being outsized.

We need to be able to string enough good plays together to drive down the field and put some points on the board.

We're kind of hitting our stride. We've won three in a row and we've also won three straight at home now.

We were a little concerned about Adam. We didn't want him to lose his confidence after the five interceptions last week. But with Chris and Brandon on the outside, it's hard to double them without weakening your defense in the middle.

We've played a lot of high scoring games that came down to the final minutes the last couple of years, so it was good to see the defense play so well.

No question this is a big game because, according to the preseason poll, this is one of the teams were supposed to be close to. This is probably going to be a game that's decided in the fourth quarter. If we can win, it will set us up with some momentum for the tough stretch we have ahead.

It looks like they are going back to their roots as more of a power running team with some wishbone and option thrown in. This will definitely be a challenge for our run defense.

Not that I doubted it, but I feel a lot better about our chances to compete against every team we step on the field against after last week. We played a team that went two rounds deep in the playoffs that has had the same coach and system for 16 years. Our system was just four weeks old at that point.

I really hated that for Juan because I believe, down the line, he will be one of those guys that really does get better in the fourth quarter.

Being a former defensive back, I don't know if I am happy or jealous.
