It's something that makes a lot of people upset to say the least with the fact that's how they deal with a win like that. Looking back to the season prior when we beat Michigan State, I don't think you saw any of our players sticking flags into other fields. I think that's not how we handle ourselves. It was disappointing to see that happen. |

Like he?s been saying all week, we?re here for a business trip. We want to win this game, so the biggest thing is we need to put emphasis on the fact that we?re prepared and rested and taking on things the way we would be if we were playing in South Bend right now. |

Not that anyone wanted to settle for mediocrity, but I think there were times when guys didn't realize how far they could push themselves. That's something Coach Weis said right when he got here, that he was going to take us to a certain level and push us even farther. |
Obviously statistics will be kept and you want to get closer to perfect. But when it comes down to it, a quarterback is graded upon winning, and that's the area I'm looking to improve the most. |
Our only goal was to keep putting points on the board. |
Physically there is a difference. He dropped a significant amount of weight, some where between 10 and 15 pounds. The biggest thing, he has a lot of stamina and can run deep routes down the field all day at top speed. He is not getting tired. He has become a huge player not only down the field, but as a possession receiver. You have seen him do some great things after catching short passes. |
So that was somewhat of a transition coming in, but it's something that has allowed us to grow as a team and an offense. |
That was how it was designed. It wasn't a last resort. It was designed to be a run. |
The first two years were rough, and this year's better. But we still are working to win a national championship. Hopefully that's somewhere in the future. |
The reaction of the fans being on the field and then seeing how you kind of want it to come out, then seeing the exact opposite all in a matter of minutes. People were pretty shocked and devastated. |
The way he handles quarterbacks is much more intense, a much more hands-on kind of approach, and you see the intensity not only that he brings to practice, but that he brings with the quarterbacks, |
There is no question that Coach Weis sets the bar high. But he has been very sensitive to the pace at which he's been introducing his offense to us. He wants us to learn, for sure. But more importantly, he wants us to be able to execute. That will be the real test for us this season. |
They were a pretty good team - they hung with us for a while. |
