We're kind of weekend warriors. It's been going pretty well and we're still grateful to be playing.

I certainly hope we don't see one, but I also realistically know that the way the hurricane seasons have been going ... the more active seasons ... for me it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

I know they thought they were, ... We play against fast guys every week, and we didn't go into the game thinking they were faster than us. You can't do that, otherwise you'll be starting from behind before the game even starts.

Flooding is the big killer when it comes to hurricanes.

Our question marks are the other three spots in the line. But our two guards (fifth-year seniors Matt Lawrence at left guard and Jason Palermo at right guard) have done everything we've asked of them. I feel very confident they'll be excellent at their positions.

We had three new starters, but two of the guys (guards Matt Lawrence and Jason Palermo) had significant playing time. They're fifth-year seniors. They've been in the program a long time. They know what it is to work. They know what the technique you've got to have in order to be a Big Ten offensive lineman, especially at Wisconsin.

I'm going to run and get my head to the outside and try to reach whoever the contain man is. If he plays so far outside that you can't hook him, then you've just got to kick him outside as far as you can to spread the hole.

The big thing is just how they never get beat. In pass rushing, they're always on. You never see them on the edge of somebody. You never see them missing a blitz pickup or something like that. I also try to pick up little technique things that maybe we won't have time to go over in practice.

I know Lloyd Carr has really had his number. To get a win in his last year against Michigan is really special.
