Lance Hinson Quotations

We met today and we talked about opening up the offense a little bit. We have to find ways to score more points. We'll try some things. The discrepancy in the run-pass ratio -- we've got to bring that up.

When things aren't going well, you do want to tweak things. You want to change practice and change your routine. The change of scenery, the field, the facility, that could be a positive.

If it was maybe a 10th of a second quicker, we would have been there. That was a great college football game. They made the play at the end of the game and we didn't.

He had a great day. That kid is going to be the best kicker in this conference really soon. I see what he does out in practice, he's always working. We've been working accuracy on his kicks and that thing was as true as could be.

We've got to make the play, that's the deal. We have to make the catch when it's there. We have to make the throw. It's about blocking, tackling, throwing and catching and running. When it comes down to it, we didn't do it tonight.

I thought we did pretty well throughout the game. Those (big plays) are going to happen some times. We run a high-risk, high-reward defense.

We've talked up to this point about scoring. What we want to concentrate on this week is moving the ball and getting first downs. If we do that, the points will come.

I was playing for overtime because I believe in our kicking game and I believe in our defense. It's a huge moment in the season, it really is. I never thought about losing this game.

We're not going to change anything we do. We're going to go after this quarterback. He's not as mobile as a lot of other quarterbacks. If we can put pressure on him, he tends to overthrow.

We're going to ask him to do the things he does well. His strength is getting on the perimeter and using that run-pass option to put the defense on its heels.

We're very evenly-matched with Bethel, as far as our defense going up against their offense and the other way around. It's probably going to come down to which offense is able to score.

They have a new defensive scheme they're running. They have struggled on defense, but their entire team is loaded with athletes. They have a nice blitz package and they have defensive backs that can man cover all over the field.

They're good up front and Barron is probably the best back we've seen this year. If he gets his average, we will not win.

It's huge for Saint Mary. He's not the only (local player) we've recruited, but he's the first one we've really gone out there and signed. I think he's a special player.

I'm happy with the split. It's kind of like thunder and lightning back there.
