On Red-Zone Success: (Best in country)
“The execution has been good. I think Will and his ability to run and some of the throws we’ve made has definitely made a difference there. That’s going to be important this week.”
On Time Zone Difference/Distance:
“I don’t really see it as much of a challenge that way. I think it’s a 4.5 hour flight. A couple more hours than Nebraska. We’re gonna stay on our time schedule. I think we got a good plan.”
On Oregon’s DL Group:
“Very, very good front. Burch is very good, very athletic, he’s strong. Good pass rusher, good against the run. Harmon we know from Michigan State, he’s playing some very good football. They have some good guys up front it’s going to be a great challenge for our offensive line and for everybody.”
