- We treated the game all week like a playoff. We treated it just like a playoff game.
- Time of possession matters. Wisconsin and Western Michigan were usually #1 and #2 in time of possession.
- Targeting call was fine. We need to keep players safe. Julian Huff got reps in practice and he executed when his name was called.
- The kids aren't going to remember what the playcall was on third down, they're going to remember celebrating in the locker room. There's nothing better then sharing those moments with your team and wife.
- Yesterday I told them to visualize the cold, the boos, running to get the Axe, and they did it.
- Joe Rossi is the new DC. He was basically able to do a whole year self-scout in one week. When I told the players we were removing the interim tag, they went absolutely ballistic.
- Douglas' punt return was the biggest punt return of the game.
- There's a lot of people that work hard in this fashion. There's not many that work harder than Rob Wenger and that showed today.
- I used to b a Badger fan. Minnesota took me in with open arms and made this a new home.
- Before the game, visualized hugging his mom and dad in the stands and was fortunate to be able to do that.
- Was visualizing lots of throws last night and visualized responding well if things went poorly.
- Throughout the game, I was praying a lot. I was incredibly thankful the opportunities I've had in my lifetime and I'm so proud of my teammates and seniors.
- Mo Ibrahim's an animal now. He played a huge role and has the heart of a lion. When he's hit on contact, he's pushing and getting 2-3 extra yards.
- The ball is the program, no doubt about it. We stressed that throughout the week.
- We know how much work Rossi and the defensive staff is doing short of staff and we always thank them for it.
- Juju came in and was ready to go. He's got a lot of reps with the 1s and 2s.
- Getting the Axe was surreal. Hugged my dad afterwards.
- Once Blake went out, we were playing for Blake. He plays harder than anyone I've ever seen Blake play. He brings it every single week. When he got ejected, we all huddled around him and he was unbelievably supportive, ran off the field and didn't make it about him.
- Credit to Wisconsin, they're a great team, but straight up we just outplayed them.
