Tommy Bowden Line Quotations

I didn't anticipate having that much difficulty running it. They put more guys in the box (at the line of scrimmage).

He is not a track guy. He is not a straight line guy. He has some wiggle to him. He isn't a track guy were you say just go deep. He can run reverses, make guys miss, accelerate and change direction.

Today the line blocked well, but the play of the backs and receivers stood out. We didn't have any dropped balls that I could remember, the backs ran hard and the quarterbacks were accurate.

You'd like to see the offensive line kind of take control of the scrimmage to be honest with you. You like to see them come out there and establish some sort of running superiority.

You win games with strong offensive line play, but you win championships with strong play on the defensive line. The play of the freshmen defensive linemen will be important for us. They made great improvement over the course of the season and they will have to keep improving.
