News and Notes from Coach Rod's Monday Press Conference

I already posted that both Threet and Minor are questionable on whether they can practice and play this weekend. Here are some more tidbits from Monday's Press Conference:

  • Team's mood after Saturday? It's a lot more enjoyable on Sunday when you can give out your team awards and have a smile on your face at dinner and during your meetings, you know. Still, our approach is still the same and all that.
  • Carlos Brown? He's getting better. We'll see if he can go through a whole practice without limping.
  • Role of Feagin this week in practice? Not yet. He may (play) both (quarterback and slot receiver). I think he knows the slot receiver positions. He may do both. He'll take most of his reps at quarterback this week if Steve can't go.
  • On the difference between junior/sophomore quarterback Nick Sheridan's play Saturday? I think he played within himself and didn't -- he played under control. He made a few plays that maybe weren't there but didn't make the big mistake and didn't force the issue.
  • On which players excelled against Minnesota? I thought our secondary, our experienced guys in the secondary, played more aggressively and I thought played pretty soundly.
  • 4 Man defensive front for the Northwestern game? Maybe. We'll do it all. We did a three-man front in the last game, four-man front and nickel packages early in the game.
