Podium finish

Phil B catches us up on quotes

“I think there are a few things,” the center said. “One is we have had the same group going out there each and every week, which goes a long wy to helping your run game. We have committed ourselves to running it more in December, and you can see how that pays dividends. You start out the game, they are not going to be 6 and 7 yards a carry, but as you kind of move throughout the game and move forward, you see how teams are wearing down and we are getting those bigger runs late. … If you are sold on it, you know you are going to get your touches, running backs seem to see holes, linebackers seem to overplay it, or a defensive lineman will try to take a back gap. It is just consistency. If you run it 14 times, it is not hard to shut it down. They don’t have to be perfect to get it. If you run it 30 times, then it makes it much more difficult.”
