TE coach Ryan Wallace
- Losing Garrett Miller obviously hurts, on special teams
- Got to play a lot of guys last week
- Ben Buechel and Drew Biber showed they can play
- Payne Durham can't play 80 snaps; need to play some 5 WR to take pressure off position
- Paul Piferi is getting better
- Mahamane Mousse plays as "TE" sometimes
- Charlie Kenrich also a FB, like Ben Furtney
- Garrett Miller is doing well; off crutches; staying engaged; here every day
WR Tyrone Tracy
- Think I do a good job at RB/WR
- Need to get confidence of coaches
- Coaches trust me when I have the ball
- No preference on catching or running
- Not shocked at what Charlie Jones is doing; saw it all before
- Yes, I can be the No. 2 WR; others are capable of making plays, too
- Didn't expect to get so many touches early in last week's game; glad they did
- 50-50 run-pass balance would work good for me
- Have to think more at WR; at RB, it is easier to get ball in my hands
- Running back is more instinct
TE Payne Durham
- Think I could have done more vs. Penn State; think they were protecting me last week; I want to do more and can
- Go hard when I am out there; let coaches try to protect me
- Backups doing a good job; all got to play last week
- I think I made the catch vs. Penn State
- Snap count? Whatever coaches want. Probably high-50s
- When we lost Garrett Miller, I prepare for having to play more
- Get with trainers day after games; spend week in training room
- Do pre-hab workouts, spend time in hot/cold tubs, shockwave treatments
- Some weeks I am ready Tuesday, some weeks it's Thursday
- Moussa done a good job; picked it up fast; takes pressure off me when he is in
- Play good Syracuse team on road; will be big momentum shift if we win
