I mean, who's really looking at point spreads unless you're betting? But we'll take that and use it as motivation, and not just for the defense but for the whole team.

He didn't lose any strength in his arm. They have a lot of guys that can make big plays over there on offence.

They still have Daunte Culpepper. He didn't lose any strength in his arm, and he is still a big-time passer.

We know the weapons they have on offence. To be able to hold them to not many points, we feel proud about that.

I think we will be an underdog every game this season until we prove differently. We will take that and use it as motivation as a whole team, not just the defense. We will be prepared.

There is a familiarity, in terms of schemes and philosophy.

I have a great deal of faith and trust in our judicial system. These young men will be given the opportunity to have a fair trial, and because of our system of justice, are innocent until proven guilty. However, as student-athletes, they are held to a higher level, and will remain suspended until further information becomes available.

We'll probably be an underdog for the first eight games.
