We have a lot of confidence. I'm not saying we're going to win every game. I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying the message we sent tonight was that we looked like a real team.

Like he?s been saying all week, we?re here for a business trip. We want to win this game, so the biggest thing is we need to put emphasis on the fact that we?re prepared and rested and taking on things the way we would be if we were playing in South Bend right now.

We were saying how much confidence we have in each other and how we know we can do it together. ... By working together and seeing how well we played against Ohio State, I think we can make a run.

I feel like it's me singing back to myself as a younger person and saying have confidence in being a bit different. I really felt I didn't fit in. My dad was from the Caribbean, my mum was English, we lived in quite a white area but we were quite poor, but also quite brainy, and I was a really, really skinny child so I felt a bit awkward about all these things.

The vote of confidence is worth more to me than any extension, raise or anything. Getting to the top of league is something we can do very quickly.

You've just got to keep giving them confidence, saying, look, we're just getting started. We're going to peak at the end, not peak at the beginning.
