Nord: "They were physical, probably a little bit more so than we were up front. They have allowed 2.6 per carry and have played some very good teams. Michigan State had 23 yards rushing total, we ended up with over 100 yards rushing, but probably 25 of those came on that last drive. Nobody has run the football on them. They have three of the best linebackers I have seen in a long time. You have to be able to throw the ball, and we didn't execute well enough to take them out of their normal set."
