On Homecoming and response from alums: Because this is my 10th season, there have been quite a few guys I've spoken with that will be in town and are excited to be coming back. But Homecoming is for the alums and the former players and it's about us playing at a level that they can be pround of and that doesn't just represent them, but the entire university.
On Kingsley Opara: He's practiced all week and he's ago. How much we're not sure but he'll be a part of the rotation.
On how being the interim head coach has gone: It's going good. We've had a 5 game stretch where we've had some tough opponents. Wisconsin is No. 1 in scoring defense and up there in total defense so it's going to be another tough one. I said when I took it over we were going to try to keep it fun and we weren't going to put a lot of pressure on the kids. But we are just trying to keep everyone as involved as we can and to just go out and enjoy playing for each other in these last few weeks.
