What he's doing now, he has proven he could do that over his whole career. He has worked hard to get back and now he's happy, healthy and used to playing the way he always has.

It has been a long time coming for us and we have worked hard. It is great to play in meaningful games like this. First place in the Big Ten feels good.

It's unbelievable. This is what we worked hard for all year is to get to this point. We did it the hard way, but we wouldn't have liked it any other way.

We worked so hard and so long for this. We couldn't let this one slip away.

He worked his ass off. He's done it his whole career. It's a shame we didn't follow his lead. Hopefully it's not the end for him, he's one of the best leaders I've ever played with.

He has really matured and was a late bloomer. He was very thin at first and he worked hard in the (wrestling) room. He had to add muscle tone and work and work during his younger years to add strength.
