Bobby Petrino Run Quotations

Oregon State doesn't seem to worry about too much what style they're playing against, ... They have their defensive package they're going to run and they have their offensive package they're going to run. They don't change up a whole lot.

Everybody would like to see that. Oregon State plays very aggressive on defense. They try to get eight or nine guys down to stop the run and play really tight press coverage with their corners. What they try to do is get a pass rush and put a clock on the quarterback, and they're very good at that. They have three new starters in the secondary. Everyone has been waiting for the ball to go downfield and we're definitely going to have to do that in this game and make some big plays.

They're going to try to run the ball at us. They like their fullback they have, and they like their big running backs. They're a physical team, so we're going to have to try to shut down the run and force them to throw the ball.

That's something that's really important for us because I do feel that we'll have a lot of games this year that will come down to the fourth quarter. And how well you take care of the ball and how well you run it will make the difference.

They are very big and physical on the offensive front. They like to run the football, so we have to do a good job of mixing up what we do, playing our game and doing a good job at the line of scrimmage and then also (using) our speed at linebacker and in the secondary to get to the ball.
