“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 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
“They are good hitters and it's hard to compete when there is a minimal strike zone.”
Jessica Smith
“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
“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 are hard to stop when we are hitting shots. Once I get in the zone it's hard to get me out of it. When we all get going and moving in the same direction we are hard to beat.”
Tony Tate
“It's hard to defend that. We didn't handle their 1-3-1 zone and turned the ball over too many times.”
