There's a lot of football left. We're just one game out. |
There's no question they did a great job of reversing momentum. |
They have a pretty big vision. Even if they put it all together, they can't move forward until we have permission to build something out there. But it makes sense to agree to sit down and talk about it now because it's something that really has potential. |
They have great athletes at every position, they present a lot of problems for you. I think Karl and his staff have done a great job putting together an offense that's especially explosive, difficult to deal with and has answers. |
They have so many weapons, ... You could hand us their playbook and it wouldn't help. |

Things are going our way and all of sudden, they came storming back, |
We didn't do anything different (on defense). We continue to try to work and enhance our pass rush. I think we've improved there. We got on top of some balls that got away from Drew and we made some plays on them. |
We had as many players buying it as we've ever had, and I give a lot of credit to that element of leadership. They could have said, 'We've had so much bad luck. Golly, I wish this guy was still here.' But they didn't let that get to them. |
We had expectations, we had high belief in ourselves. But [prior to Saturday], there was nothing to confirm it. |
We just need to get one more point than them. Heck, if it's 7-6 and we win, I'm happy with that. |
We live by the sword and die by the sword. We executed an onside kick against Iowa [to set up the winning touchdown], and without it we wouldn't have been here. |
We made some big plays, created some turnovers and created some opportunities. |
We made some mistakes to let this thing get to where it was, but last time I looked, we had more points on the scoreboard. We were playing a top-15 team in the country, and that's no small achievement. It wasn't a work of art, but we won. |
We need to discover who we are, get closer to what Northwestern needs to be this year. |
