On team improvement
“We definitely made a lot of progress. Just turning on the tape from last Saturday and comparing it to where we were against Cincinnati. We’re a completely different team than who we were three weeks ago in terms of execution, effort, and the edge we play with.”

On playing Michigan in 2023
“You try not to think about the past too much going into a week like this because it’s a whole different team. Even from when we played them two years ago, not many of those guys are still there. It’s important to just play the guy across from you and dive into what he does on every single play.”

On preparing for the game
“It’s just knowing what to expect when we get out there and really understanding what they’re trying to accomplish on defense. How they want to attack us helps us know the game going into it. You can play it out in your mind the week leading up.”
