Jim Boyd Chris Quotations

He was strong enough to hold off the defender and get the ball off to Chris and Chris finds an opening and he just makes something happen,

What really sparked us was we ran an option on the right side and Brandon pitched it at the last second and it went to Chris Newman and we thought he was out of bounds, but he turns it up field and goes 50 yards for a touchdown. That gives us momentum and I think the next drive we get down in kicking range and big Joe does a great job with a 37-yard field goal and that really pumps us up.

We tell Brandon he has one person to beat. We feel there's going to be some kind of blitz or seepage and he has to be able to recognize that and get away from that. When you do that, someone's going to be open in the secondary and Chris was wide open.

They scouted us and watched the West Lyon game. They realized Chris Newman is kind of our feature back and they game-planned to take him out of the ballgame and they did a fine job of stopping him,

That's something we go through in practice, ... These are the plays we can count on to carry us through and the boys executed very well - our running back Chris Newman in particular.
