The thing with Texas is they have so many weapons, but I really think the speed of our defense will help us.

Last year was a dogfight, ... A.J. had a big pick at the end. It was a tough, physical Big Ten game right down to the wire, and should be this year too.

You got to hit the guy with the ball. Honestly, that's it.

Looking at what Notre Dame does, I think they have the complete package. They have everything: They have the run game, they have the offensive line, they have the tight ends, and if you're not doing your assignment on one, they're going to beat you.

It's not necessarily revenge. But it's in the back of your mind.

It just looks like everybody's comfortable. I think they really feel confident and you can see that. That's the difference this year, I think.
