Ron Zook: "our crowd has to be cranked up. ... We got to light (the crowd) on fire, then they have to carry on for us."
Ron Zook said special teams problems isn't a system problem. Said "there will be some changes" in personnel this week.
Ron Zook: OSU #Buckeyes "may be down a little bit but they're sure not out."
Ron Zook: #Buckeyes "by far" the best rushing team they've played. UI has to "put on big-boy pads"
Ron Zook: A.J. Jenkins can still play better, dropped a few balls Saturday that could have put him over 200, demanding perfection
Ron Zook: "Two years ago, it wasn't really fun around here. (when Jenkins thought about transferring) ...It's a lot more fun now."
