We were running everything through him. It was kind of fun to do for once. |
We weren't the prettiest -- Illinois really pressured us and it bothered us some -- but the defense we played and the job we did, I can't say enough. |
We will not have that luxury this year. But we will address it in other ways. |
We'll have a clearer picture by next week or the week after. |
We're a very good offensive team. And that'll get us about fourth place in our league. |
We're all resigned to the fact that anybody in this league can beat anybody. There's never an off night. There's never a night where you can just relax. And every time you think you can, as we learned, somebody smacks you. |
We're going to get back in the weight room to work on toughness and character. I promise we'll be tougher and I promise we'll get this program back to where we all want it. |
We're going to hone in 95 percent of our time on George Mason. If you don't win the first one, you don't get to the second one. But if you get to the second one and you're not prepared and you don't get out of the weekend, I don't feel like that's where Michigan State is right now. |
We're just a worn-out team right now ... We're flat-out beat. |
We're the ones coming off two losses, and they beat us down there. I'm sure they'll be hungry, we'll be hungry. I don't know if it'll be more or less, but I know what we're going to be. |
We're trying to check with all the pro teams and different places on what we can build him. If he's able to wear a football helmet or whatever we got to do, we'll do it. We are going to the Nth degree to find out anything we can find out that would give us a better chance to get him back quickly. |
We're working towards it, but he's got to keep earning it, too. |
We've got a good enough team to win the next six games and we've got a good enough team to lose the next six games and I think a lot of teams are in that boat in this league. |
We've got some fatigue in us. |
We've gotten such a good system down, my managers can get a lot of stuff done. It was unbelievable around here (Sunday) night. If you open the door in that room it was Santa's elves working on Christmas Day. They were going at it. There were sparks coming out of that room. They all take some ownership. |
