A few player quotes from the Monday teleconference-
Juice Williams
[On the being the Big Ten POTW] "I'd trade all that in for a W on Saturday."
"You hear the name Eastern you automatically chalk up a victory in your head, but being the quarterback of this program and actually seeing these guys on film that's not necessarily the case. They're a good team and we gotta come out ready to play."
Brit Miller
"That's definitely one of the worst games I've ever been a part of, my performance as well."
[On the BTN's Journey] "I think the show will be good for our program, we've got a lot of good guys, at the same time that's what we do every day so to watch it on TV might be a little mundane and a little narcissistic. "
Will Davis
"We just didn't play like we were supposed to play. That's what it comes down to."
"We just felt like we didn't give [Daniel] enough pressure as we ought to."
"We're taking it as a personal challenge to show people that the defense is way better than what they saw on Saturday."
Martez Wilson
"The [new Memorial Stadium] turf, it feels real good, it actually feels like it can make you run a little faster."
