On using the bye week
“We’re just going back to our technique and basics. Going back to the drawing board and seeing what we can improve at as a whole group. Really, just build off that.”

On takeaways from the Michigan game
“They’re a good defense. We saw it on tape all week leading up to the game. We just have to improve on some areas. We just need to execute when we need to. Run-blocking, finishing our guy, pass-pro, and protecting inside-out.”

On the mood around the team
“Find a way to get better each and every day. We’re using the preparation we have and allotting this time that we’re allowed to have, and just building off of that. The bye week right now is very critical. Week four, week five setting and starting conference play. Get your bodies back to where you need to be. It’s a six-week sprint until the next bye week.”
