Coach Riley On playing a clean game against Minnesota

"I will say the results were good. It's a good lesson for everybody. Defensive change, you're going to be presented with different problems, and they will all have different strengths. Being able to do that week to week is obviously the key. The other thing is we just didn't hurt ourselves. I talk to the team all the time. Stay onside, no illegal procedure, then we can get in the right formation. Then we have a chance to be successful. At least we can run the play and not hurt ourselves. Having a clean game, not turning the ball over. Andy (Janovich) got away with one and picked it up and got a first down. That's pretty clean. You're giving yourself a chance to continue drives and make plays. That's why I loved the 99-yard drive. We even had a penalty on it. That was just our one penalty we had to overcome. The consistency of our team at that point, that was nice to see. Hopefully we can grow on that, continue with that. Play good clean football then execute the plays."
