That's blue-collar work in there. Sometimes that has to be developed, and he's making good progress towards that.

I'm not trying to be a killjoy. I thought it was a good win . . . but we know we've got tougher tests coming,

He's a great model for the university in general. To have a player of this level and this accomplishment, who's also graduated in seven semesters, paints a pretty good profile of what we're looking for.

He was impressive on the tape, and he was impressive tonight, ... and that's what good players do. But most of his plays were underneath plays. There were some plays that I would have preferred that we could have gotten him on the ground faster, but in the long run, they weren't overly harmful to us.

It was a very good performance by our defense,
