[Rodriguez said Wofford's wishbone also has elements of a spread offense and often relies on the reverse.] Our defensive coaches really have to get a plan together, ... All of our focus to this point was trying to get ready for the unknown at Syracuse.

Even though they were coming back we didn't panic because our offense was still moving the ball. We stubbed our toes a little bit with penalties, but we weren't getting three-and-outs. At least we were able to stem the tide with our offense getting some first downs.

I liked to think there was not anyone who could run it better. I liked to think the wishbone offense was my baby until I had three of my own.

Some days, it's a real challenge to get the offense going. Our game relies on pitching, defense and timely hitting.

I would like (Jones), but the defensive coaches need him. Maybe in the open week; you never know.

We will have five defensive coaches on the field. We want the players to see that where the emphasis is being placed. Defense is where you win championships.
