Tailback Quotes


We're a fullback-oriented offense. Our fullback Patrick Harris gets most of the carries. But our big-play guy has been our tailback Eric Crenshaw. - Kenny Smith


We'd run a play, and our tailback would get a cramp. So we'd put another tailback in, and he'd get a cramp. We just had to limit what we did in the second half, and we tried to use the clock and control the ball. - James Blankenship


We'd like to tackle the quarterback... Traditionally here, we've taken great pride in the way we played defense. Like every other program in the country, the spread offense creates problems. I've said this because when you use the quarterback, really in many instances like a tailback, and yet you have four wide receivers and you spread the defense out, you're going to give up some yardage, you're going to give up some points. I think that's fundamental. - Lloyd Carr


We want to stop the run first and then force them into a passing game. I think that's what we did two years ago when we went up there in the rain. We stopped FSU tailback Greg Jones for 15 yards on 13 carries. That just lets you tee off on the quarterback. - Thomas Carroll


We used a two tailback system tonight. I thought Marquis Browning and Rodney Bragg did a great job splitting time. We were able to have fresh legs going into the fourth quarter. - Richard Moore


We practice with four tailbacks so we'll have four tailbacks ready for every game. - Jamil Walker


We lost our top runner and had to move Travis Thompson from wingback to tailback. And we were going against a lot of beef up front there. They really packed it in there, and we couldn't get anything going. - Lou Geary


We have playmakers at wide receiver, we have a quarterback that knows how to win and can turn a bad play into a good one, and we have a tailback who already has done a lot of great things for us. We'd like to keep them going from where they ended last season. - Dan McCarney


We had very eerily similar days against both teams... Both teams' number-one strength is their offensive line and their tailbacks. They have some differences, but they're strength on strength on offense. - John Fiore


We had our third team tailback in there. I called the fake field goal. We wanted to keep the clock going. If we didn't make it, so what? Our protection guy called the fake punt. If I was Miami, I would've been glad to see the fake punt. - Les Miles
