“In our scheme, ... the defensive line keeps the offensive line off the linebackers. We're supposed to be the playmakers. Coach Campo is on us every day, telling us there are no excuses. No one cares that we haven't played before. We know we have to get it done now.”
Ben Taylor
“They're familiar with our offensive line, and they're familiar with some of the schemes we like to do offensively. That gives them a little edge. They know where our offensive linemen were weak at, they know where they're strong at. So they're going to play that to their advantage when they line up against them on Sunday.”
Torry Holt
“Their offensive line is a very good, a very hard-working group [that works well] together. Their zone scheme is designed, at somewhere along line, to cut you off to create a lane for the runner to pour up into. They do a good job with that.”
Tom Coughlin
“The scheme was to make big plays. The guys stepped up, the offensive line did a great job and I was fortunate to be able to connect on a couple deep passes.”
Troy Smith
“The middle blockers have been great all year in both our offensive and defensive schemes.”
Jerritt Elliott
“Their offensive line is what makes them so good, ... They're really physical kids and they scheme so well.”
Clay Jordan
“The big problem with them is their offensive line and their zone scheme. They do an awfully good job with it. Everybody has a few zone scheme running plays. We do. But they build their offense on that. They get you stretched, reaching out, and then they shove you out and cut right back underneath you. They do a good job of cutting the linebackers off.”
