On changes Coach Busch has made
“The biggest thing is Coach Busch is trying to I would not say simplify everything but kind of make it so we can get our feet set on the ground and we can just play. A lot of his emphasis has just been having your feet on the ground ready to go at all times and having your eyes in the right place at all times too.”

On the changes to the secondary lineup
“This week and even last week has been all competition. Everybody knows even myself nobody’s spot is secure. Even though we are heading into the fifth week everybody still has to grind like you are trying to earn your spot. Everybody has been taking it great and feeding off of each other’s energy. Having a great time at practice as well as staying focused and competing out there every play.”

On the team handling staff changes
“I know me personally I take it like we still have a game next week and we do not have a choice except to come out and win. For me you cannot let everything detour your mind off of the main thing. The main thing always has to stay the main thing. I would say that is pretty much where we have tried to keep everybody’s head at in the locker room. We know that the coaches we have on this staff are great people. They are great coaches. We just have to trust them and trust that they have our best interests and that they are going to do everything to put us in the right positions beecause at the end of the day all they can do is put us in the position and we have to go out on the field and make the plays.
