We're getting our players ready to play a good Northwestern team. It's going to be a great challenge for our program. |
We're going to have to play with some sound defensive fundamentals, we're going to have to tackle and do what?s necessary for us to contain their offense. Our hands are full, but we anticipate for us to make some plays when we need to. |
We're in a position that we envisioned ourselves being at this time. Now we've got to take care of business, continue to improve and do the things that got us to this point. |
We're not focused on that at all. Stanford is a big, big issue for us right now. The teams are going to get tougher and tougher along the way. |
We're still not quite the size we want, ... I would rather be 280 inside [at defensive tackle] and 260 outside [at defensive end]. But we're 270 and 240. |
We're still very capable of being a good defense, ... We have some issues we need to clean up, but we think we can get there. |
We've been playing very, very well in the red zone offensively. We want the opportunity to put points on the board, and those are opportunities we've been taking advantage of. |
Wesley Walker looks good out there, ... Our depth at linebacker is getting better, but we'd like to play him some against Washington. |
When you try to arm-tackle runners like him or even throw a shoulder pad on them, it doesn't affect those kinds of guys. He's a dynamite player. We're just hoping to keep him healthy every step of the way. |
Whenever we needed a play made, he stepped up and made a play. |
