Glen just can't seem to get the Woody Hayes out of him,

I complimented our guys because we didn't have a single player cramp up on the field. They're taking care of themselves in terms of preparing for a game like this. I think it's equally important for us (at Arizona).

Joel did a great job as a graduate assistant here and has gone on to cut his teeth in the coaching profession. He's a detail guy with a lot of energy, and we're thrilled to have him back at Purdue.

when the guy intercepts the ball and he takes off on that side of the field, you've got a bunch of offensive guys chasing him. Once he reversed, those offensive linemen aren't the greatest at changing direction and chasing him down.

I think the two programs are very close. But they've had (recently graduated) Matt Roth as a four-year starter at defensive end and he's a big defensive end. Our defensive ends had been undersized defensive ends. Now, we've got big defensive ends.

Some years the schedule rolls your way and some years it doesn't. There are a lot of very good teams in the conference, so I don't think you can make any assumptions about any teams.
