They got coached all week, I'll say that.

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.

I like his strength, I like his gamesmanship. If he gets a shoulder on anyone it usually disrupts their path and that's not always the case at the running back position. So I like the power that he brings to the table.

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.

Anybody we offered a scholarship to in the state of Wisconsin is in this program now.
Bret Bielema -
He's intriguing to us because he's very athletic. But we were so thin in the offensive line and we wanted him to learn the elements of blocking before switching him, again.
Bret Bielema -
The thing that you've got to be always conscientious of when you're playing a team that likes to chop block, ... is not overemphasizing to the point that they're looking for the chop block instead of going to make the play.

We've been trying to sell it. I know there won' be the same crowd that there is in Camp Randall next year. But we're trying to get as many people in the stands as possible and make it a game-day environment.

Was in our ear a lot more this week than he's ever been since I've been here.
Bret Bielema -
After the second day, he's got it mastered, too. He's just a guy who takes a lot of pride in what we ask him to do.

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.
Bret Bielema -
He is just beginning to get his feet wet. But he definitely will strike you. He's not afraid of anything.
Bret Bielema -
We really think, hopefully, all three of those guys will hit the ground running June 12 when we start our summer conditioning.
Bret Bielema -
The thing that I'm excited about right now is another year to work under coach Alvarez.

I've really been happy with the progress of all three. It's really a talented group that I'm expecting big things from.
Bret Bielema -
He gave me those notes to reflect on the move, just like Coach Holtz had given him the notes. It's great to hear different philosophies on coaching.
Bret Bielema -
I'm excited because it allows the guy to roam.
Bret Bielema -
Robinson made some people look silly on film, just with his ability to lower the shoulder. He's not looking to take a knee or a slide or anything like that. He likes to get as much as he can out of every opportunity he has.
Bret Bielema -
They beat us physically. I think it is something we pride ourselves on.
Bret Bielema -
He's been battling through that. He rolled it right toward the latter part of winter conditioning. I was going to say something to him before practice because he wasn't taped. He's usually taped on that one ankle and he wasn't. But he was after that.

I'll never forget opening up a fortune cookie at a Chinese restaurant on the very day that Fry offered me the job, ... It said, 'Choose a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.' It's turned out to be true.
Bret Bielema -
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.
Bret Bielema -
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.
Bret Bielema -
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.
