Getting the Low-down with Petrino
ESPN’s Chris Low was in town today covering the Hogs and he had a chance to sit down and chat one-on-one with Bobby Petrino and a few other players.
Here are Low’s highlights from his interview with Petrino today. Make sure and check out Low’s blog for some great coverage of all teams in the SEC as well.
Petrino on senior starting quarterback Casey Dick:
“There was a point in two-a-days where his arm wasn’t as live, all those little things you’ve got to struggle through during two-a-days, but I think the last week he’s started to get back to where he was at the end of spring ball. He has a pretty good comfort level, I think, in terms of his knowledge of what we’re doing.”
Also, fans, maybe you shouldn’t expect to see the ball thrown around like a rag doll this season, Petrino says.
“They all want to see the ball in the air. The thing you want them to understand is that we are going to be a balanced offense. We like throwing the ball. I like throwing the ball, but I do believe you have to run it to win. That’s something we always did real well at Louisville. People had to defend our passing game, and then we ran the ball real well.”
Most notably, Low asked Petrino if he thought Dick could handle and do everything he wants him to do in the new offense. Petrino responded, “I think we can, because what we do is that we’ve always molded the offense to the quarterback.”
