He wants to have an opportunity to play more and he didn't know if that's going to happen. He wants to get into an offense that fits him better. |
He's a defensive player, too, and a fast guy, ... Although if you watched, he got knocked down one time and that can't happen. We're just trying to accelerate his experience, and one way is to get him on the field more. |
He's done an unbelievable job with their program. When you go back and you look, up until just maybe two three years ago, his staff was pretty much intact for such a long period of time. To me, that really says a lot. You look at the record and you can see what he's done, but when you see coaches that stay there for a long period of time, I think it says a lot about the way he runs the program. |
He's done everything I thought he would do at this point. He's extremely fast. He's made great strides at getting stronger and bigger. |
I always say, you don't get better sitting on the bench. The only way you get better is to play. But until we get [Williams] in here in August and throw him to the wolves and see what he can do ... |
I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate and respect these players, |
I didn't know we were down by 20, ... but I told them all along, the score doesn't count until it's over. |
I don't think it's done, but we've had some examples where we feel we've made some strides in that regard, ... Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. ... We've put ourselves in some situations the last two ballgames that you don't necessarily want to be in, but yet they hung in there, so I've got to believe some of it's getting through. |

I don't think there's any question our line is much improved over where it was in the fall, and it needed to be. |
I don't think there's any question that we were a better football team this week than we were last week. It's important that we played a lot of people. We're going to need those guys down the road. |
I don't think you can say quarterback is the only place we need to upgrade to be competitive. Tim is going to be improved, and he'll be the first to tell you he needs to. You can only go so fast. To say Tim is the only one who needs to improve is not fair. |
I don't think you say quarterback is the only place to upgrade. If we're competitive in the (Big Ten), there's no question that Tim will be improved. |
I don't want anyone feeling down in the dumps. I think we are going to be competitive in the Big Ten. But we still have to go out and do that. |
I don't worry about things I can't control, |
