For that type of size, he's very athletic. He's got very good feet. He can really move laterally well, and he can really catch the ball. We look at him as a dual threat -- blocking and catching the ball.

He's very difficult to bring down. The first guy's probably not going to get him down. We're going to have to get a lot of green shirts near him.

I like his ability to advance the ball after contact. He's a very mature young man, and I think he will take the work ethic he learned in high school and apply it to the next six months so he will be ready in the fall.

It was just so representative of playing at Michigan. We did something we just don't do. It's part of Michigan's athleticism but also playing in this environment. We just played slower, paralysis by analysis.

It's a game we have to learn from very quickly and stay together as a team, then move onto Central Michigan, which is obviously a huge game for us.

It was crucial for us that he step up. He struggled some late last week against Cincinnati (a 28-26 loss), but he came through at some crucial times for us today. And it always helps when you can start off good and fast like we did.

They are a throw-first team in my mind. Obviously, we have to find a way to contain the quarterback.

They give up very few big plays. They're very good at keeping the ball in front of their good tacklers.

They've become a big priority for us. When we get a player on campus and they see our facilities, their perception of Eastern changes.

Those three visited Central, Western or Toledo, and they chose Eastern.
