... We have some other juniors who are capable if they have all the other things in line. D.C. Alexander is as talented as anyone we have. We're playing him at wide receiver.

All and all, it was a successful night.
|
But most of our mistakes came when our No. 2s and 3s were in the game. I was pretty happy with the way our regulars played.
|
Defensively, I thought we played outstanding. ... We're very aggressive, we run to the ball, and that's what we've talked about — 11 people to the ball.
|
He ran really well. We want him to be a very physical runner, and you saw his speed. He has more speed than people think.
|
He's a very special athlete. He can run, and he hits. He just explodes on people. ... He's not that big, but he does know how to deliver a hit.
|
He's got more speed than you think he has, and he's more physical than you think.
|
I still want to see how we perform when every throw means something and every catch is pressure-filled. We haven't been in that type of game.
|
I thought our offensive line did a good job of handling those fronts.
|
In my mind, it's a goal-line offense, and they run it in the middle of the field. It can be very difficult to stop at times.
|
It takes a lot away from them offensively when he can't run.

It's been going on here forever. You hope guys ... look at what happened just last year and see where they are. There were guys last year who were good enough to have an opportunity, but didn't get to walk in their freshman year and play. It's something we talk about, but not in a demeaning way.

People don't realize how strong [Williams] is. He breaks tackles. He has speed and vision, but he is a lot stronger than you think. He can run the 40 in 4.5 seconds. He can pick them up and lay them down.
|
The threat of us being able to throw the football doesn't allow them to bring the secondary up to stop the run. They can't put eight or nine guys in the box. They have to defend us with seven, and with our line playing well and our backs, it's pretty difficult (for defenses).
|
Their offensive line comes off the ball, and I didn't know if we could handle them. They did a good job of blocking last year, and we couldn't stop them. We stopped them on offense.
