On the team’s hungriness to get back to work  
“Very. Guys are frustrated, the team’s kind of pissed off and super eager to get it fixed.”

On what to fix
“Just as a team, playing hard, not just taking punches and not swinging back. I think that just goes back to having pride for our university and pride for this football team and the work we put in. Coach Rhule is bringing it out of us this week, so we’ll be ready.”

On Coach Rhule saying “entitlement”
“It could mean a lot of things, if you really dig deep into it. For us, the game happened Friday, we had Saturday all day to sit on it and Sunday we came in and literally told every truth possible. Now it's on to the next, not the last game of the season, but it's about fixing it and I know those guys in the locker room will get it done.”

On Northwestern on tape
“They are a bunch of relentless dudes that run to the football. They play very well together, a very experienced team. Like every single week in the Big Ten, you are going to have your hands full and these guys will come in here and they’ll be ready to play, so we have to do the same.”
