More Quotes from Kirk Ferentz:
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.Kirk Ferentz
I think turnovers a lot of time are, first of all, you give credit to your opponent they also have a hand in it. Then also, a lot of times it's concentration, so we need to do better there. As far as the rhythm, I think we're still developing as a football team. We've got some very experienced players playing for us who are for the most part doing a very good job, but we have a lot of new guys trying to fit their way in too. When you're doing that, you're always trying to establish your identity as a football team. I don't know how it is at other places, but I know if you look back at our teams the past three or four years, it's really been a process for us. We haven't just come out of the gate and been clicking right off the bat it's been more of a process than anything else. Hopefully we'll bring resolution to some of our problems here in the next week or two or a couple weeks.

They're probably emphasizing the return game a little bit more now, for obvious reasons -- the guys they have. A blocked punt -- I don't know what the percentages are, but I know it's bad. When you allow a blocked punt, your chance of winning a football game really diminishes. But right now, they're thinking more about returns. They may pull out that block for us, and try and test us again. It wouldn't surprise me.

After what they saw (last week), I'm sure that'll give them more encouragement, and rightfully so.

We don't know how to act right now, ... The good news is it's a good quarterback coming back. He's a lot of fun to be around most of the time.

They may alter or modify the BCS, none of that is going to affect how we approach things. We're worried about our performance, and based on Saturday we have a lot to worry about.
