Quotes about UH's offense

About UH's offense, Georgia defensive coordinator Willie Martinez said:
"To be successful in any offense, you need to have players, and Hawaii has great players at every position. They have a great quarterback in Colt Brennan, some smooth receivers, and what we think has not been talked about enough is their talented offensive line. They understand their scheme very well, which makes it tough to get to the quarterback. They get rid of the ball quickly, presenting us with a major challenge." (AJC)

About how their offensive players have to think quickly and read defenses well, RGM said:
"You can't be a dummy in our offense. The most important thing is that all of our routes are reads. You have to know all the defenses real well. ... If we are playing together there are very few teams that stop us." (AJC)

About how they have to minimize the YAC UH gets, Martinez said:
"We have been telling our kids that it is important when they make a 10-yard gain that it stays a 10-yard gain. We have to minimize the yards that are made after the catch, because they will get their yards. It is a rhythm offense, and we need to do what we can to disrupt their flow." (AJC)

Looking forward to facing UH, DE Marcus Howard said:
"We know Hawaii is going to come out and throw the ball 50 times. They pass nearly 90 percent of the time. This is the type of game a defensive line dreams of." (AJC)
