WORTH REPEATING
“If youre going to be successful, any defensive coordinator will tell you that you’ve got to stop the run. If a team can run the ball on you, there’s no need to throw it. It keeps the clock moving and wears your defense out. We know that we can’t give up the yardage we gave up last year if we’re going to be successful. We have to put emphasis on stopping the run.”
— Dawson Odums, Southern defensive coordinator
