We finished our last ball game with Iowa and were on an off-week and then we had to travel a significant distance to get to Hawaii. So we prepared for a certain number of days, let them have a couple days off, came back and traveled to Hawaii. |
We knew they were going to line up in 12 personnel (one back, two tight ends) and run their inside zone and try to get at us. Thank God, we had a couple of guys step up and make a play. |
We really think, hopefully, all three of those guys will hit the ground running June 12 when we start our summer conditioning. |
We wanted to see him. The defensive coaches thought he moved well enough and wanted to give him a shot there. |
We were putting some balls on the ground. The picks, as many times as we get our hands on the ball, we can't put them on the ground. That changes the momentum of a game in a heartbeat. |
We will be a role-playing team at that position. |
We're going to try to get as many people in the stands as possible. Make it a game-day environment. |
We've been trying to sell it. I know there won' be the same crowd that there is in Camp Randall next year. But we're trying to get as many people in the stands as possible and make it a game-day environment. |
What I want to do is put them in a pressure situation. And because we're going ones against the world, the ones should be able to execute and do certain things. |
What we've been on Jack about is just becoming a complete football player. I think he is beginning to do that. |
Whatever it was, we really emphasized that we wanted it to be consistent time and time again and weren't going to accept anything less. |
Which has allowed Shane to take all the No. 2 reps. We just wanted to let him concentrate on doing that and become good at free safety. And, then, if he shows that he can maybe handle more and more things that may be a possibility. |
