Texas TechQ: On Saturday, J'Koby Williams and Thomas Castellanos combined for 292 yards on the ground and over five yards per carry. How much of that was a specific exploitation of Arizona's front, and how much of that do you want to be part of the identity of the offense to lean on in November.
McGuire: Anytime you can stop the run and run the football late in the season, you have an opportunity to win. In the second half, we had some really good checks, some great adjustments by Mack (Leftwich) and our run game, so we were really able to get going.
Our guys have a belief system in what we do, and they believe in the people in the building as far as our training staff, they're still pushing them at a really high level. Q: It seems like we've been talking about improving the offensive line since you gut here: Ran for over 300 yards and only allowed one sack against a very good Arizona defense is this one of the best performances by a defensive line under you?
McGuire: There are guys that are playing their best football, extremely consistent. Howard Sampson, I constantly talk to NFL scouts about him; I mean, his growth as a person and a player since he came here has been outstanding.
