The food chain

So when Nebraska comes to town next weekend, we get to play the role of Michigan and they get to be Illinois. I don't care if it's close at the half -- we're going to find a way to win, and we're probably going to win going away. In the Big Ten food chain, they're as far below us as Michigan is above us. Lions eat the antelopes, antelopes eat grass. Michigan is a lion, we're an antelope, Nebraska is grass. The cirrrrrcle of life.

Our job is to climb back to becoming a lion. As I wrote after the Michigan game in Assembly Hall, they're a great blueprint. Down for so long, now back, and recruiting like they're going to stay there for a while. That's where we want to be.
