Our linemen do a great job of blocking downfield. It’s really all based on them. Same with our defense. A lot of them play both ways. They’re just really good.”Quarterback Brody Barnum (122 yards rushing) on what it’s like to break a big run: “It’s great to just get out there and play. When you get an opportunity to do something, it gets you all jacked up. It just feels great, especially when all the guys are giving me a chance to.”
