ball great lost running
I think he's lost a little weight, and, boy, he's running the ball great right now.
backs came football half ran run second took
We came out in the second half and really took it over. We said let's run the football and then occasionally get some play-action in there, and we didn't need much play-action, to be honest. I thought the backs ran well.
against burst couple guy helps run team
We thought with Marcus against a team like Miami, you get a guy who can really run it and it helps you some at that quarterback position. I think Marcus showed you that a couple of times, with a burst there and a couple big first-down plays.
far good guy leader mark runs sideline
He runs our team. He's very much in control. He's the calmest guy on our sideline as far as I can tell, and that's the mark of a good quarterback and a good leader for your offense. He's always got it under control.
front running seen seven
But we'll see. He hasn't seen this front seven running after him. We'll see how he reacts to that.
bit bringing couple half involved plays quite running second state teams
We called a couple more plays to get him running in the second half ... Other than that, as we go back and think about our offense, I think getting him more involved in that regard, and getting our receivers more involved when teams are bringing so much pressure, which N.C. State did quite a bit there in the second half.
ability beat dynamic good running
I think what you have is a dynamic quarterback that has the ability to beat you running or beat you throwing. Pretty good guy. Pretty good quarterback.
run throw
We have to be able to run it and throw it,
running
It was just my imagination, once again, running away with me.
compete interfere spent time together
We have to compete on the field. That's just the facts. That doesn't interfere with all the time we've spent together before.
ahead decided line looked moving offensive talked year
We had talked about moving Duane a year from now, but as we looked at the offensive line we decided to go ahead now,
allow bend blow braces bunch butler knee mind operated question save seen tough
I've seen those knee braces save a bunch of knees. There's no question in my mind that Reggie Butler would be operated on right now if he hadn't had that knee brace on. It was a tough blow right to the knee, but the brace didn't allow the knee to bend to where something would be completely torn.
best group
I've said it before, that this is the best group of kickers that we've ever had.
ball distance good great hang kicking nic pleased
I've really been pleased with Nic Schmitt. He's kicking in a good rhythm, kicking the ball quickly. He's getting great distance and hang time.
