Frank Solich Chance Quotations

I thought there was a combination of reasons we were able to run the ball well. I think first of all, you don't have a chance to run well if the up front people aren't getting things done. I thought they had a good day as far as blocking. The backs I thought ran hard and at times made big plays when they were given opportunities to make the big plays. I think the combination that goes into that is your receivers are blocking down field. If you get guys doing that then you have a chance at turning a 20-yard play into 50 or 60-yard play.

That one was tough on us. They were in a blitzing situation and that's what we want to run the option. ... If that pitch gets executed, you hope we have a chance for a big play.

That one was tough on us. Once that pitch gets executed, you hope to have the chance for a big play. But it didn't and it got us in a big hole.

You may slow them down, and you need to if you want to have a chance to win. You need to control the clock, and the important thing is at the end of that, put points on the board. You can't control the clock and come away without putting points on the board, or that plan falls apart too.

I'm very excited about it for several reasons. It's great to be part of the game again and to get a chance to line up a football team. It will be great to get back into the routine of playing games.
