defense doubt line mind offensive question ten type
Our offensive line has got to improve. And defensively, there's no question we have to improve. There's no doubt in my mind we will be improved. We've got to play the type of defense you have to play in the Big Ten Conference.

I think he's going to get bigger and better. He's going to play a lot of football here. If he continues to progress the way he has this spring and in the weight room this winter, there's no reason why he can't be an awfully good player in the Big Ten Conference.
