Everything went fine with the surgery. But we're not going to push anything with him for the spring. If he can go, that's great. But we're not going to push him.

Nichiren does not have a sense of urgency and he needs to practice better.

I'm not sure what it is. I spoke to him after the game and he said he was fine, so let's hope that it's not a big deal, he is enormous for us.

We gave them all the credit in the world. We got our butts kicked. It wasn't even a game. We know to beat them we have to play our best game, no question about it. They are an exceptional team.

Nick was the best defensive back we've had this year. This is just a huge, huge loss for us.

He has great speed for us compared to last year. That allows us to do some different things in the secondary. We are very pleased with him. He is very intelligent and just a quality young man.
