I know it's normal for our buses and bags and all the rest to be inspected, |
I learned a long time ago - I've been around football longer than some of you have been alive - and there's two things that you don't listen to: flattery, which can't help you, and abuse, which can't hurt you. You have to look at the facts, |
I like having guys that you have to take a special look at, |
I like his energy level. During the course of that Iowa game, the more he ran, the more he wanted it. He would run by the sideline and say, 'Get me the ball again.' You love to see that. |
I love his intensity. I love his detail. He?s on top of every single thing. But maybe most important, I love the way his guys play, and that?s a tribute to his staff. |
I question whether he'll play. He was running well (in practice), but he wasn't taking snaps. I wouldn't expect him to have a big role. |
I said, 'Well, you'd be alone because we're giving the guys the day off,' |
I saw him (Monday). Moving over to Dodd Hall is a good sign. He?s making progress and taking the next step in his road back. |
I suppose when I was here 20 years ago, I don't remember much discussion about anything other than winning the Big Ten and winning the Rose Bowl. |
I tell my players if they have a chance to be a first round selection, it's time to go. |
I think consistency is always the measuring stick to see if you're going to get good. Our goal is to become a consistent offensive football team that does its part and whatever needs to be done to win. |
I think he could be a real good one. |
I think he's significantly advanced, I'm sure just like Brady is. |
I think in this day and age, you've got to be able to attack with a lot of different things. There are so many good guys out there that can throw and catch, and the evolution of football -- there's so many good ideas. Sometimes, things trickle down a little bit from the pros. Now, the pros don't allow their quarterback to get hit quite as much as we do in college football in our spread offenses and so forth, but I just think because people are so well-schooled on defense, you've got to give them more problems. I think if you have that as part of your package, it can give you a chance. Some of the people in our league do it very, very well. |
I think it adds a lot to this game. We've only played four times before in our history and the two great programs, here we are in one of the great settings in college football. I think it adds a little something to the intrigue. |
