There's no pressure when you have a lot of good players like I do now. Pressure was last year when we didn't have enough talent in order to compete.

We used it quite a bit, and I thought it was a good wrinkle for us. I think it gave them a little bit [of trouble] adapting.

They've been waiting for this guy. They're going to get after him good. He'll be singing after every meal. I know they've got something in store for him. There's been some pretty hot days out there. He's missed some of them, and they're going to let him know it.

He was playing really well.

I keep telling him, 'This isn't the Big Ten anymore. You're going to go up against some guys who are hungry.

We're waiting for him to get here, too.

Right up there near the top. I'd compare those guys to any two in the league.

We're happy to have him. He's got a good understanding of the scheme ... plus, he's got a good football mind. He's very intelligent.

We have to take a look at the tape. We have to go back and examine things. Maybe there was something that we were doing. We were tipping our technique or something.
