co-DC/secondary coach Ron English

- Minnesota is balance, throwing the ball better
- Playing with confidence
- Mohamed Ibraheim doesn't even look like he was hurt
- Tanner Morgan makes easy throws to spots; hard to make Minnesota one-dimensional
- Lack of depth in secondary is what it is; gotta play through it
- Cory Trice will keep getting better; not as sticky and sudden as he was; takes time to get back from injury
- Worked hard at stopping the run; think we will see more run variations
- We are getting turnovers; Chris Jefferson helps with Jalen Graham out
- Good to get game-sealing stop vs. FAU
- We play well for periods of time, then we don't; we have been good on 3rd downs, vs. runs, getting turnovers
- Jacob Wahlberg is big guy who runs who will get better


DE Jack Sullivan

- Has size 17 feet
- Minnesota is run-heavy, need to make them pass; that is our plan
- Got confidence making stop at end of FAU game
- Pass rush is getting after QB; a process; have some creative ideas; have different packages
- Depth of d-line is a strength
- Working since January on run fits; be gap-sound; paying off; done well vs. the run
- In jet simulator now; taking 13 hours


LB Jacob Wahlberg

- Had good game last week; run-heavy team
- Trying to do my job; hope you execute when you get a shot
- Minnesota is physical
- Coach Reno does good job with nutrition and weight room work
- Saw FAU guy on pile, reached out for first down and hit the ball out
- Finally playing makes it all worth it; one day at a time
- Jalen Graham is around at practice helping
- Ibraheim is the real deal, physical, runs low, best RB we've seen so far
