Mark has been a pleasant surprise for us. He has really responded well; the keys, the reads, he's got great ability, just his overall presence. It's good because he can now make plays both ways.
-
I'm a big believer in competition bringing out the best in people. There's plenty of time for this all to shake out.
-
Andy is a competitor. He came in and played right away as a true freshman at linebacker and has a great competitive spirit ... I'm excited because I think he's found a rebirth a new way and a new opportunity to get on the field.
-
He has been a key element in numerous successful programs and he has been the architect of some of college football's best defenses during the past 25 years.
-
Jack is trying to take another step forward.
-
We finished our last ball game with Iowa and were on an off-week and then we had to travel a significant distance to get to Hawaii. So we prepared for a certain number of days, let them have a couple days off, came back and traveled to Hawaii.
-
Those guys have been in the program now for two years, basically. They're not young anymore. We expect them to continue to develop. Just to be able to get their hands on the ball and make those plays speaks volumes about their ability to be playmakers.
-
I like his strength, I like his gamesmanship. He sees an edge, he'll take it in a short fashion. He's got great power.
-
The one thing I knew as a head coach was I wanted to hire coaches that are good and eventually, as people know how good they are, people are going to want to try and hire them. Unfortunately, it was way too fast in this instance.
-
You can take Saban's record when he was at Michigan State and when he was a coach in the Big Ten and put it against mine, and he can't compare.
-
We were putting some balls on the ground. The picks, as many times as we get our hands on the ball, we can't put them on the ground. That changes the momentum of a game in a heartbeat.
-
He's a guy who can make a difference - make you miss - and he has the speed to pop through a little hole. They really take a pride in their running game. They'll take their shots down the field, but what jumps out at you - this year and last year - is that they're willing to be patient, willing to grind it out and do what they need to do to stay on the field.
-
I've really been happy with the progress of all three. It's really a talented group that I'm expecting big things from.
-
I would like to assemble a group of coaches that carry two common traits: great passion and great integrity. Kerry has great passion for the game, for recruiting, for his players and for people overall.
-
It's just great to be part of it. I think it's a great testament to the leadership Alvarez provides. From Day 1, it's been about this game.
-
After several discussions with both Gino and Antonio, I felt it would be in the best interest of both student-athletes and the Wisconsin football program if they did not return to the program.
-
He is just beginning to get his feet wet. But he definitely will strike you. He's not afraid of anything.
-
He works hard, he's a great recruiter and coach, and he's a fantastic person on and off the field. I'm very happy he's a Badger.
-
They beat us physically. I think it is something we pride ourselves on.
-
They got coached all week, I'll say that.
-
They had a chip on their shoulders from last week. We told them all week what we expected out of them.
-
He never had the daily repetitions of a mike learning curve, the reads, the reactions, the fits and drills. It was kind of a season in learning. When he began to start to play pretty well is when he had that little injury and didn't really play well again until the bowl game.
-
We really think, hopefully, all three of those guys will hit the ground running June 12 when we start our summer conditioning.
-
Whatever it was, we really emphasized that we wanted it to be consistent time and time again and weren't going to accept anything less.
