On getting after the quarterback 
“It took us a little while to get into a groove until we got to the last two-minute drive. I thought the last two-minute drive, we were really trying to get after him. I just think we didn’t really find that groove and get to it until the last two-minute drive. Going into this week, I think we just have to start fast. It’s third down, we just have to have that mentality.”

On winning a close game on the road
“A win is a win. No matter how it happens, just to walk away with a W is a great feeling. It’s the Big Ten, so you never know what might happen. We just take any win. There’s always room for improvement, but we were definitely happy with the result.”

On the belief mindset in the program 
“I think it’s just the belief and like being here since the beginning with the staff. The belief of the team, when we go somewhere, I can just feel it. The energy. The people. We believe we’re going to walk away. And, we’re not really worried about the distractions and the mistakes and stuff like that. How do we not beat ourselves now? How do we focus on how to go get after him and stuff like that? I just say, the mindset has changed since when I first got here.”
