“We've played some very, very fine defensive fronts, and I think this is the best we've played. They lead the nation in sacks. I think that alone tells you the challenge we have.”
Lloyd Carr
“Defensively, I'm very, very disappointed in the way we played, particularly in the front seven. I don't think we played well at all up there. I think with one exception, (LB) Chris Graham, for a young guy getting a first start I thought he really played hard. He made a lot of plays. We're just not where we need to be. We need to play harder. We need to play more physical. That is our intent. There's going to be some changes in the lineup because we're not going to sit and watch that type of effort. We need to play harder, we need to play tougher.”
“I didn't think we played very physical on our front line. At Baytown Lee we really were physical. Hopefully, we can get some guys in - some walk-ons starting the second semester - so we can have a full practice.”
Mike Marquis
“I almost played my way off that team, probably because I was so nervous playing in front of Don. I knew I was on the bubble.”
Chris Chelios
“I think overall, ... they're just playing outstanding up front.”
Jack Del Rio
“This is the best defense we've played all year. Their linebackers are incredible, their front four is dominant and their secondary is fast.”
Darius Walker
“In front of a full house (about 2,800), we played a great defensive game and came away with a huge win, while carrying a full line-up.”
