Quotables:

Coach Riley on Jordan Westerkamp

"A lot of years of coaching, he is one of those unique guys that wants back in and seems to be unaffected by whatever has happened and makes plays. I think that is as much a mental toughness as it is physical. He is totally engaged in the football. He is a really easy guy to coach and he has some unique talent to make some plays. I think he would be probably what we would call, for us, a prototype slot back. The things he can do, we play him some as a wide receiver, but that position holds a lot of interpretation, and he's smart so that is a good thing for him in there."

Coach Riley on the offensive line being more physical against Michigan State than it's been all year

"We certainly hope that (we continue that the rest of the season). I think that our guys knew the challenge ahead and were well prepared and then had to play physically all the way across the front. It was a really, really good microcosm of the game in the trenches there, probably both sides of the ball. It was really good football by both sides. Like I said, we knew we had to have really good interior blocking against that front and to block effectively, we needed our tight ends to block the edge and our receivers do what they're supposed to do on the perimeter. It all had to fit together. I thought we kept competing in all those areas and did a nice job. That's a really well-coached, disciplined team in general and particularly defensively upfront, it was tough."
