Last year, the offense, we weren't able to put up that many points. This year we have weapons like Derrick Williams, Justin King, Michael Robinson at quarterback. I'm anxious to see how that turns out.

I was looking to them as the guys that make the plays and run around and get to the ball. So that's what I'm trying to do this year.

They ran the ball on us all game two years ago. They pretty much ran the ball on us at will. It was going downhill on us every play. It just wasn't good.

He's always full of excitement every spring. It's always great to see him.

Central Michigan ran a lot of the same stuff that Northwestern runs. So that's pretty much like two weeks we have had to prepare for Northwestern.

We got our composure back. Last week, we missed a lot of tackles. This week, we got them all.

I can see it in his eyes. He's itching to go out there, but they just won't let him.

He just wasn't hitting the holes like he wanted to.

We're just getting back into the football vibe. It's been a little rough. You get out of shape when you're out for that long, so we're just getting back into shape; we're having fun now.
