Summarizing what Minnesota players said during Thursday's interview session
Athan Kaliakmanis:
- Watching Nebraska film left a bad taste in his mouth
- Was a little inaccurate
- Needs to be better fundamentally
- Scrambled a lot more than he needed too
- Wasn't as good as he wanted to be
- Eastern Michigan has a lot of good players, went 9-4 last year and won their bowl game
- Good throws come on the run, better throws come when you stay in the pocket
- Wants to stay in the pocket more
Corey Crooms:
- All the receivers took him in when he got to Minnesota in January
- Said Daniel Jackson and Autman-Bell were the two main guys he stuck by
- Took little pieces from their game and try to implement his own
Jalen Logan-Redding:
- Praised Winston DeLattiboudere on correcting assignments and techniques from the Nebraska game
- Putting a big emphasis on pass-rush this season
- Did what was necessary for the team (moving back-and-forth from three-tech to five)
- Have to be selfless to be a championship team
Danny Striggow:
- Some good, some bad on defense
- Had ups and downs, need to be more consistent
- Need to execute game plan the way it needs to be executed
