“In my opinion, they have some players pretty skilled.  Overall it’s a team that’s not going to have too much great talent. We’re just going to go out and dominate them, keep doing the same thing, week in and week out.”

“They can be [dangerous]. You just have to stay the course and keep going. You can’t think too much about what their record is, who they’ve played. You just have to treat it like last week, the Notre Dame game.  Come out and play as hard as you can... make sure we do the things we didn’t do... do them the right way this week.”

“The biggest point of emphasis was communication. We lacked communication on certain calls and feel like we could have been a lot better from a communication standpoint.”

“That’s one thing we focused on this week, the communication part.”

“It was rough seeing some guys not doing what they need to be doing on certain plays.  We’re giving up a lot of stuff by lacking communication.”

“We have a few guys who haven’t been in that role in a big game, as far as the back-end... they lacked that experience. Now they have that experience now in terms of being in that type of game.”

“I think that comes with just playing.. being here a while and playing games.”
