00:00Do you see that as an opportunity for your team to get better or to produce,

00:05especially this year being the Big Ten for the second year in a row?

00:09Yeah, 100%.

00:10Each opportunity is amazing.

00:13So I just try to capitalize off everyone.

00:16Don't let it really just take you with a grain of salt.

00:19But just realizing that not too many players can get these opportunities.

00:23So really just take forward advantage of everything.

00:29I know you guys haven't gone through some of the practices yet.

00:33What is the strength right now as you see it of this team?

00:36Yeah, I can say that we were tight as a team, even off the field, just hanging around each other.

00:42Because that team bottom is going to show up on road games, on tough times and
