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.
beat bit box coming extra hit kept leave people played run stop team vulnerable
When you have to play extra people in the box to stop his run it's going to leave you a bit vulnerable to the pass. I thought he played hard. He kept getting hit and beat up and kept coming back. And his team won.

There have been times I thought we could have gotten him the ball, but I'm standing there with a (video) clicker. I'm not standing back there with a defensive line chasing me. I think Ted is coming along and is going to be a great one.

Recruiting is such an inexact science. I remember a former staff member here, when we said we were going to offer A.J. Hawk a scholarship, he said, 'Oh, man. That's like a (Division) 1-AA fullback coming here.' Now, A.J. will be able to buy a few things here in a few weeks.
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.

I've said many, many times that if you have two quarterbacks capable of being champions, you have a chance to be a champion, ... I think we have that.
