“It’s been our base offense, probably, for 15 years,” he declared. “It’s where we always start. As we progress, whether we use two or three (tight ends), we have quality people there. We also have really quality receivers, so it’s all about finding the right mismatches.”
“My freshman year, which was in 2016, I did not play varsity,” Kirtz said. “But my sophomore year, I did play varsity. Hunter was my quarterback. … He helped me adjust to that. He made me feel way more comfortable out there, just kinda telling me ‘you got it,’ giving me confidence out there, definitely.

“I thought about as a coach in transition here, I had to endure that on Saturday,” Bielema said. “And as much as I didn’t like it. You don’t appreciate it. Don’t understand it.

“I executed the first one perfectly,” López said through an interpreter. “The second one I tried to be quicker with my move, I tried to do too much, tried to get Starling there and that’s when I made a mistake. When I tried to rush, that was bad.”
“I threw a ‘pen (Tuesday), have another one Friday,” Lynn said Wednesday. “And that bodes well to make a start after that. Just make sure Friday goes well and then we’re on our way to where we need to be. That’s pretty much it.
