- Great win, excited to bring Floyd home
- Huge feat to win at Kinnick, the first since 1999
- Walked by and took a pic of the Axe and Pig together
- First time they've both been in the building in 30 years

- Sends thoughts and prayers to Mo Ibrahim, said he talked to him yesterday and said he's in really good spirits

- Mentions Deven Eastern and Anthony Smith as young players that are growing up both on and off the field
- Both are only scratching the surface of what they can be
- Devon Williams had one of the better linebacker performances since he's been here

- We'll see on Darius Taylor and Zach Evans, hints that they got some "good news" on some guys injury wise
- Says Jordan Nubin will have to be ready to go, Sean Tyler as well
- Next man up

- Have to more consistent in catching the football
- Did everything they could to get Daniel Jackson more involved
- Left 5 or 6 makable plays on the field Saturday
- Gotta play better at those positions and players understand that

- Praises Dragan Kesich and his personality, maturity, and hard work ethic - calls him a football player
- Game-winner was one of the biggest kicks of his career
- Privilege to see him prepare everyday

- Says Greg Harbaugh always has a solution on offense
- Admits they have some issues, but really pleased with where they are and how they are working to fix it
- Patience to call the game is where he thinks Greg has grown a lot as a playcaller
- They didn't have any turnovers and Iowa had three - that was the difference in the game

- Spent bye week working on tackling
- Admitted they tackled very poor against Michigan
- Mentions Devon Williams and Maverick Baranowski as MVP's from the Iowa game

- Says Michigan State's blitz package is very diverse and something they'll have to contend with
- Says anyone that plays Michigan, just throw that out because they are playing well
- Mentions they played Rutgers tough before losing a lead late

On special teams coverage:
- Gap integrity, everyone has their lane or gap, one of the players jumped out of his gap and that's how DeJean went down the sideline
- Have to improve on that area

On return game:
- Have to be able to stay and maintain blocks and break a tackle here and there
- Will take the ball at the 25 at times
- Probably should have moved punt returner up a little more during the game instead of relying on what they felt pregame

On Cooper DeJean punt return/no return:
- Nothing controversial about it
- Invalid fair catch signal is an invalid fair catch signal
- Mentions the newest change to the rule states you can't "poison" or "Peter" a ball and advance it, you can point to a ball and advance it. You can't shoo-away people at all with your hand
- Said they got called for that weeks ago
- Play should have been blown dead when DeJean touched it
- It was a dead ball, so the return doesn't exist
- Next play, our players respond with a sack, then we have an interception

- Realistic that Cody Lindenberg can could back and play in November

- Said Floyd weighs roughly 98-pounds, but S&C coach claims it weighs more
