That's our team. We want to try to be balanced, so you can't concentrate on one or two guys. All year we've had five or six guys who can put up 20 on a given night. It's just a matter of finding that guy whose night it is and getting the ball to him.

That's our mentality, everybody's mentality, run the ball and pass second. We're going to establish. We'll run right and run left. We're not going to have 52 sacks this year. I'd rather run the ball every down before we have as many sacks as we did last year.

Jonathan Carroll

That's something that has not always been my strength. I used to get the ball and hold it until the point guard would come over. Now I have to look up the floor and get the fast break going.
