“When you can run the ball, it definitely helps the passing game. The linebackers can't drop back into their zones as quickly. We're going to try to start quickly in the running game.”
Daunte Culpepper
“Yeah, it looks bigger when they're playing that zone and you just keep passing it.”
Ryan Tillema
“We wanted to attack the baseline, because when they run a 3-2 zone, we know the baseline and high post are the weaknesses of that zone. And our guards did a good job of penetrating.”
Gail Goestenkors
“We're a good passing team. Our big guys had their hands ready when the guards did break the zone.”
Eldon Hoy
“You know it's hard to run it into the end zone when you're down from the 6 to about the 2. It's nice to run it in from 10 to 15 because the defense is looser.”
Al Johnson
“When they made their run, and to their credit they made a great run, we went to zone for a little bit to change it up a little bit.”
Jim Redmon
“Just a pass into the flat. The coaches say, 'when you get into the red zone, you have to smell the end zone.' I was able to use my speed to get to the pylon.”
