We’ve been trying to sell it. I know there won’ be the same crowd that there is in Camp Randall next year. But we’re trying to get as many people in the stands as possible...

After the second day, he’s got it mastered, too. He’s just a guy who takes a lot of pride in what we ask him to do.

I kind of like where he is.

Whatever it was, we really emphasized that we wanted it to be consistent time and time again and weren’t going to accept anything less.

Dave kind of reminds me of myself when I went with Bobby. He made all the calls on Saturday but I was involved on day-to-day game planning.

It’s hard to train that in practice time. You can make calls, you can make adjustments, but just that pressure, ‘This is what it is, this is reality, I need to concentrate on every play,’...

He got up and talked about what they ran and why they ran it. I was just amazed at his presence and his knowledge.

We can run and we can hit people. I like that from (the defensive) standpoint.

They had a chip on their shoulders from last week. We told them all week what we expected out of them.

I would have never found two of our recruits if we didn’t have those (scholarships) available at the end of the week.

Everything is kind of up in the air.

One thing I think you have to do here at Wisconsin is maximize your personnel. From the standpoint of getting our best players out there, you’ve really got to make sure you’re not burying anybody...

He’s intriguing to us because he’s very athletic. But we were so thin in the offensive line and we wanted him to learn the elements of blocking before switching him, again.

I got on him a little bit because he got a bruise on the forearm and he wanted to sit out. That’s the difference. You have to have durability in the Big Ten.

And we’ll talk about it as a staff and find out exactly where we think each guy should be. There’s a point where certain guys may be carrying too much weight, just from a health...

They’re a very unique offense; we knew that. They came out, especially in the first two series, in some things we didn’t prepare for. They came out with two backs, (which) wasn’t a high priority...

It was an opportunity for them to get their legs back under them.

He’s been battling through that. He rolled (it) right toward the latter part of winter conditioning. I was going to say something to him before practice because he wasn’t taped. He’s usually taped on that...

Assistant coaches make recommendations. Head coaches make decisions.

I found out how our schedule evolved. And with a 12th game being approved, it was an eye-opening experience because basically it comes down to not a lot of people wanting to come to Camp...

I’ve really been happy with the progress of all three. It’s really a talented group that I’m expecting big things from.

It was something that if we practiced well the first couple days down here we knew this was going to be a day (off). We met a little bit but it was an opportunity to...

The first day was positive.

It’s exciting because we’re going to be able to go out on the field and do what we like to do. Just as much as the players love to get out there and play, coaches...

The thing that I’m excited about right now is another year to work under coach Alvarez.

We finished our last ball game with Iowa and were on an off-week and then we had to travel a significant distance to get to Hawaii. So we prepared for a certain number of days,...

I think Elijah was trying to show up a little bit for him, That’s another thing you lied to me about in recruiting – you told me there were no tornadoes (in Iowa City).

Now, we’re getting into the meat and potatoes about spring ball.

Johns experience as a college and NFL running back, as well as the coaches he has both played for and coached with, makes him an ideal person to coach our backfield. He has been successful...

The No. 1 piece of advice I’ve been given is to be your own man and I plan to do just that. Coach Alvarez put me in a position to have success and I solicit...

(Robinson) made some people look silly on film, just with his ability to lower the shoulder. He’s not looking to take a knee or a slide or anything like that. He likes to get as...

He never had the daily repetitions of a mike learning curve, the reads, the reactions, the fits and drills. It was kind of a season in learning. When he began to start to play pretty...

Hodge and a couple other guys are kind of in a holding pattern. I’m going to sit down and have a discussion with Elijah. I think he’s been a little bit hampered by the groin...

Thanks, that’s a great perspective.

Chancellor Wiley and Coach Alvarez have extended me a fantastic opportunity to build on our record of success and great tradition. I’m enthusiastic about the future of Badger football and this chance to advance the...

What we’ve been on Jack about is just becoming a complete football player. I think he is beginning to do that.

Which has allowed Shane to take all the No. 2 reps. We just wanted to let him concentrate on doing that and become good at free safety. And, then, if he shows that he can...

He informed me he might be interested in pursuing another option with LSU. I said that’s all I needed to know because I want people that need to be here.

After several discussions with both Gino and Antonio, I felt it would be in the best interest of both student-athletes and the Wisconsin football program if they did not return to the program.

He works hard, he’s a great recruiter and coach, and he’s a fantastic person on and off the field. I’m very happy he’s a Badger.

We will be a role-playing team at that position.

Going into that last series, I looked up at the board … there was 7 yards in total offense. I was just amazed at that.

Football is a game of concentration,

There will be certain things that we’ll ask during a course of a practice. He’s back there rattling off the answers as fast as we’re giving the questions.

I need to have daily improvement in everything we do and I basically felt throughout the entire spring that we did do that.

One of the biggest things we’ve got going this year is we want to finish, finish, finish. That’s about as big a finish as you’re going to (have).

Andy is a competitor. He came in and played right away as a true freshman at linebacker and has a great competitive spirit … I’m excited because I think he’s found a rebirth a new...

I’m just worried about his health right now.

The one thing about Joe Thomas, as good of a player as he is, he’s even a better person.
