He's 24-7. You can count on Lance being somebody you can have other players talk to. He's good to have around. Any football playing he does is really a bonus to go along with the character and the leadership. He's special. |
He's a big guy who has a lot of ability and that's a good starting spot, and then you throw in a whole bunch of intangibles, ... I like him, and I like him as a person. |
He's a very accurate passer, there's no doubt about that. |
He's assumed the role that 'I'm the guy, and follow me, boys,' |
He's given us some really exciting plays. He's one of those guys that makes you hold your breath. |
He's making all of the reads and hearing all of the calls. That's going to pay off. |
He's so hard on himself, ... Before you can ever say anything to him, he's beating himself up. I say, 'Hey, don't talk to yourself like that.' That's the nature of his personality. It's so important to him and he wants to do well. But you'd rather have that than someone who makes a bad play and says he doesn't care. |
I feel sorry for teams that don't have a rivalry game. Conference games are different. I think a true rivalry game has to transcend the conference. A win doesn't help in the conference standings. It's a pride thing. |
I got chills talking to him on the phone, ... He was so excited. He said, 'Our players are so fired up, coach. I can't thank you enough.' |
I guess Hoosier fans are a lot more patient with me than I am with me. The feedback we've gotten, the reaction from the fans, prospects and everybody else has just been great. We've made big strides in that direction for sure. |
I had guys use up a year and a half of eligibility in one game, |
I hope he doesn't see that, I hope he doesn't throw it there and then I hope he doesn't catch it. I don't want to see that. |
I hope it's applicable. I hope we can accomplish even half of what coach Alvarez and the Badgers have accomplished. |
I just told James they paid him the ultimate compliment by paying so much attention to him. |
I need to coach better, and they need to play better, ... Part of it has been the opposition, and part of it has been us. ... I think the passing game will continue to grow, and if the running game picks up a couple notches that changes everything. |
