I think that's more media talk and fan talk. All I know is that if you're going to have a chance to win a title, that really becomes apparent in November if you're in the race or not. If you don't take care of business in September or October, none of that's going to matter. I'm just more in tune to what our concern areas are right now, and hopefully we can improve those real quick because again, knowing the strength of the conference, if we don't get moving here, we're going to get left behind real fast.
More Quotes from Kirk Ferentz:
I learned a long time ago that at the end of the day, the only stat that counts is points, ... The other ones are significant, but I'd much rather have the right score on the board. At the end of the day, that's what we're worried about.Kirk Ferentz
It sounds like right now they're committed to Troy Smith but it wouldn't shock me to see both in a game. That's a luxury you have when you have two guys like that.

Two years ago, Florida probably underestimated us a little. That's not going to happen this year.

It's amazing when you go through their two-deep how many fourth- and fifth-year guys are there, and the offensive line is the focal point of that. They're not just older, they're experienced and good football players that are aggressive and tough. It will be a challenge for us up front (on defense).

We're real pleased with Albert's start to the season, certainly, and we've had good feelings about him for three years now, ... It's exciting to have him out there on the field, but all it does is enable us to have a better chance to be more balanced. We certainly weren't able to get that done last year for obvious reasons, and I think this year, all of our running backs have really done a good job. They've been practicing well and it's probably been a bright spot on our football team.

I still maintain the best thing about (Hodge and Greenway) is it's not what they do on the field, which is significant, it's all the things they contribute off the field in terms of leadership, work ethic, attitude. They're so different and yet so similar in terms of the contributions they make.
