ball best caught entire evaluate figure game nine saying sitting win
You evaluate the entire production. If we had caught that ball and win the game by nine points, I don't know if we're sitting here and saying we're perfect. You still figure out how we can be the best we can be.
best enter hear recruit
We recruit nationally. When we hear of the best of the best at a position, we go in and see if we can enter the battle. Sometimes we come in and we're fortunate.
best bulk decision key percent practice word work
We've made a decision to have Troy get the bulk of the work and probably 75 to 80 percent of the reps in practice with preparation being the key word there...We think the best decision is for Troy to be the quarterback and get the bulk of the work.
ball begins believe best clock eleven entire game last next obviously opportunity point ready second sure talk terms throughout time year
We have a clock for each team, ... What we try to point out is you need to use every second to get ready for the opportunity to play a ball game because you only have, in this day and age, eleven opportunities, and next year begins twelve. You have to make sure you use your preparation time to get ready for that and most especially use your preparation time throughout the entire year so you're at your best in that last game. That's just something we believe in terms of preparation and something that we talk about and obviously have.
best cherish games great interest maybe players pro remember schedule
What we philosophically want to do is schedule games that are of great interest to our fans. Maybe the best pro of these games is it's something our players will remember for a lifetime. They'll cherish these memories.
based best grueling guess hard league people stadiums sure teams type walk
You never know for sure in the preseason how teams are going to be. You can make your best guess based on the people that are returning, and that type of thing. But the thing about the Big Ten, we play a grueling out-of-conference schedule. And then, when you get into the league and you go into those opposing stadiums, it's hard to win. Our stadiums are incredible. It's like you're already down by a touchdown when you walk in the door.

best trio
Their trio of receivers is probably the best we've played.
anyone attention best business goes good guess hard paid pay recruiting results says special time tries whether works
I guess that says something about how much attention should be paid to recruiting rankings. What's made A.J. so special is that he doesn't really pay attention to what anyone says about him, whether it's good or bad. He just goes about his business and works hard and tries to get better every day, and that's why you see the results from him over time that have made him one of the best to ever play here.
We just thought that that was the way to go right at that point,
ball consistent evolve fact felt good season spread starting ten
We felt going into the Big Ten season if we could evolve to the fact where we always had a 100-yard back, then we could probably spread the ball around enough to have a good offense. We're starting to get consistent with that.
advanced coming felt football further game guy maybe next nice normal obviously step
We felt coming in ... he was a guy that was really into the game of football and you could just tell as he got here that he was maybe further advanced than the normal guy. ... Now he's got to obviously take the next step as we go into the Big Ten, but I think he's done a nice job.
cared good
We feel very good about where he is and how he's being cared for and his attitude.
appreciate certainly men women
We certainly appreciate what those young men and women are doing for our country.
