They can do it all and we trust them and they trust me. To come out here and get the train rolling was huge, especially against a team like Northwestern.”
“We settled down and played outstanding defense,” Hill said. “We took care of the ball and we got turnovers and we competed at a super-high level. We had a daunting task today, to come up staring 0-and-3 in the face if we don’t beat a Big Ten school. Man, they battled. It was fun to watch the competitiveness.”
