Right now, we're undefeated. I'm more excited about a spring than I've been in a long, long time. (But) we've got a long way to go. We're a little bigger, a little stronger, hopefully a little quicker. We've helped ourselves with the seven (new) guys that are in here right now and the younger guys are a little more mature in how they handle themselves.
bigger continues football good player progress reason room spring ten weight
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.
beginning couple great guard matt missed moving natural pocket ryan snaps spring
We have two new tackles, big guys. That pocket is not going to compress as much. And moving Ryan put him at a more natural position. He's done a great job.

Even though it probably went exactly as we thought it would two days ago, until those faxes come across, you never know.

The thing that concerns me is what I could have done differently to get that out of them (against Michigan State).
blood cal sharks special teams
Every play on special teams is a nightmare. Cal comes after the punt. They're like sharks smelling blood right now. They will come after us and try to do the same thing.
coming continue great happy improvement learning terms
Vince has done everything that I thought he would in terms of coming in, learning our package. I've been very, very happy with the way that's going. We've made great improvement on defense, as we should. We've just got to continue to improve there.
