We didn't just win it, we played well. It gave us a lot of confidence going into this weekend, which is something we needed.

It's huge for us to get some confidence. Now we know we can play, compete and win in the Big Ten. That's huge for us.

Unfortunately, we did the roller coaster thing. Michigan State did a nice job. They ran a nice offense at us, and we didn't seem to have the blocks tonight like we usually do.

Last weekend gave us confidence that when we bowl like we can, we're a very good team. If we do that again, I see no reason why we can't be in the top 10.

It gives us a lot [of confidence]. I think for opening Big Ten weekend, we played well.

It was important for us to get our confidence back and just start another roll.
