Tracy Claeys
  • Doing fine, we've been in close games.
  • Putting such an emphasis on stopping the run just drains you. It's tough when you can't get off the field.
  • Don't hit quarterbacks in practice so that allowed Leidner to get reps during the week.
  • Wide receivers ran into each other on the pick six.
  • Coverage teams gave us good field position
  • Need to work on our cadence. Offensive line wasn't necessarily to blame for not being able to convert on third and short.
  • "There's no such thing as a bad win."
  • "Nothing to add" on University's statement about the restraining orders.
  • The wide receivers got some separation but there were drops and underthrown balls.
  • Lingen's dealing with a foot injury, Calhoun's still dealing with his turf toe, Wright is dealing with a tendon in his knee.
  • Will keep going for it on fourth and short situations.'
Mitch Leidner
  • It's been an interesting process working back from the concussion, lots of up and downs. Last week was tough. A concussion is not something you can really just play through.
  • There was no change in energy after the 21-3 lead. Everyone was passionate and playing hard.
  • Quite a few times where I changed the play at the line and it usually worked.
Damarius Travis
  • Knew about Rescigno going in. He looked good on film.
Emmit Carpenter
  • Has worked on few different things with technique and that's caused the two recent misses. Plant foot has been too deep.
  • Ryan Santoso has offered a lot of help, has done a good job mentoring. Still in contact with Peter Mortell, who talks him through some of the mental aspects of the game.
  • Claeys wants kickoffs to go in the left corner.
