Ryan Day, Head Coach
Q: On Indiana’s defensive line.
“They make a lot of plays and wreak havoc. They have a good scheme in how they do it with a lot of one-on-one situations. They’ve created TFL’s, gotten teams off of their rhythm, and they play hard.”
Emeka Egbuka, Wide Receiver
Q: Thoughts on the Indiana defense.
“I think they’re a very veteran team. Obviously, I think 10 of the 11 starters on there are transfers, but a lot of them come from the same place, so they’re playing at a really high level. They’re playing together as a team, they know their scheme down pat. We have a lot of respect for them, so we’re going to look to go in there on Saturday and play hard.”
Latham Ransom, Safety
Q: On the plan to slow down Indiana’s offense.
“We’re excited for the challenge. I think their quarterback has done a great job all season. They have a lot of veteran receivers that have made a lot of plays. We’re going to do our best to execute Coach Knowles plan at a high level, communicate, and then, play fast and physical.”
Q: On playing Indiana off of a bye week.
“There’s going to be some unscouted plays. They’re going to come with some plays that we haven’t seen on film before. We see stuff on film, but I think just executing our plan at the high level, not worrying about how they could do this, or they could do that. Just worrying about our plan and executing a high level. That’s what we’re going to do.”
